In Queens, New York City, there was a famous casino called the Genting Casino. It was very large and had 32 floors. The higher you went, the higher the stakes.
In order to enter the 32nd floor, one had to bet at least 5 billion USD.
Therefore, although the service was the best, the casino was only open once or twice a year. The guests were basically oil tycoons from Arab countries who liked to gamble.
This was the place that Terrence Besse brought Xiao Yunhai to.
In fact, Xiao Yunhai only had five billion dollars on him.
He was very annoyed by Terrence Besse's interference this morning and wanted to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to come with him.
However, he was not a gambler. If there was a way to win, Xiao Yunhai would not be polite. If he lost all five billion dollars, Xiao Yunhai would get up and leave.
When Terrence Besse and Xiao Yunhai walked into the luxurious casino, there were already many people inside.
A middle-aged man wearing a headscarf and Arabic clothes saw Terrence Bessey. He stretched out his arms and chuckled. "Terrence, we meet again."
Terrence Besse hugged him and smiled. "Mr. Abdul, I remember the last time we played here, I lost 63 billion dollars to you. This time, I'm here for revenge. "
Abdul laughed. "Recently, our country has restricted oil exports and I've suffered a great loss. I didn't bring cash this time, but I brought an oil field worth trillions of dollars. Let's see if you can win. "
Terrence Besse's eyes lit up. "What oil field?"
Abdul said, "Saudi Gawal Oil Field. You know that I own 32% of the shares. "
As both parties were speaking in English, Xiao Yunhai heard everything clearly.
The Gawal Oil Field was famous in the world. It had 154.7 billion barrels of oil and 2424 billion cubic meters of natural gas. It was the largest oil field in the world.
After decades of mining, more than half of the oil had been extracted, but there was still a lot of natural gas. At the current price, 32% of the shares was worth at least 3 trillion USD.
A look of greed flashed across Terrence Bessey's eyes. He said, "Mr. Abdul, your price is too high. Come, let me introduce you, this is …
Abdul laughed and said, "If I don't even know Mr. Xiao, the richest man in the world, then I'd be too ignorant. Hello, Mr. Xiao. "
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him and smiled bitterly. "Don't ever say that you're the richest man in the world. Compared to all of you, I'm nothing. Hehe, I really don't understand what's going on with Time Magazine. Back then, I only had a few hundred billion US dollars, yet I was ranked as the richest person. This error is too big. "
A trace of disdain flashed across Terrence Bessey's face as he said, "Times Magazine is nothing but the mouthpiece of the American government. In the world, there were no less than thirty people with assets over a trillion US dollars. It was just that their names wouldn't appear in Time Magazine. Take Mr. Abdul for example. Other than the Gawal Oil Field, he also owns a few other oil fields in other regions. Just these oil fields alone are worth at least 5 trillion US dollars. Saudi Arabia also has two or three oil tycoons on the same level as Mr. Abdul, not to mention the royal family. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I see. If my assets weren't over a trillion US dollars, does that mean I wouldn't be qualified to be here? "
Terrence Bessey said, "That's right. Mr. Xiao, let me introduce you to the rest of the guests. This is Ai Kailam, also an oil tycoon from the Arab world. This is Mr. Joseph, the chairman of Sale Oil Company in England. "
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with them politely and exchanged pleasantries.
It was only today that Xiao Yunhai realized that there were too many rich people in the world. When he first started out, Xiao Yunhai thought that David Steer was already ridiculously powerful. But compared to these trillionaires, he was undoubtedly a far cry.
Terrence Bessey asked, "Are we the only ones here today?"
Ai Kailam shrugged and said, "They were all scared out of their wits by the hundreds of billions of US dollars bet. We're the only ones left. Mr. Bessey, I'm glad you invited Mr. Xiao here. "
Terrence Bessey said, "Then let's take a seat. Same old rules, five-card stud. Mr. Xiao, is that okay? "
The other three all looked at Xiao Yunhai. Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry, I've only seen five-card stud in movies. I've never played it in real life. How about this, you tell me the rules and I'll try it out a few times. It doesn't matter if I win or lose. What do you think? "
Joseph said, "No problem. This is actually very simple. You'll learn it in a few rounds. "
The others also agreed.
Abdul smiled and said, "How much can one percent of the Gawal Oil Field's shares be exchanged for? Please calculate it for me."
More than ten economic experts standing at the side took out their calculators and started calculating.
In this gambling hall, there were more than ten service staff, all of whom were excellent financial personnel, lawyers, and so on.
A minute later, the dealer in charge of the gambling hall said, "The profit can be as high as 65 billion US dollars. According to the rules, only 80% of the profit can be exchanged for cash, which is 52 billion US dollars. "
Abdul snapped his fingers and said, "No problem. This is the authorization letter that I've prepared long ago. Take a look. "
Ai Kailam said, "I'm using 6% of the Gawal Oil Field to exchange for 320 billion US dollars in chips. Can you calculate it for me? Abdul, isn't 50 billion US dollars a little too little? "
Abdul took out a stack of documents from his bodyguard and said, "This is the blank authorization letter for the shares of the Gawal Oil Field. Ai Kailam wood, if you can win it, go ahead and win it. But I don't think you can do it. Last time, you lost a small oil field worth 480 billion US dollars to me. "
Xiao Yunhai heard Abdul call an oil field worth 480 billion US dollars a small oil field. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. What a bunch of bastards who don't care about money.
Ai Kailam and Abdul seemed to have a conflict. When they spoke, they were at each other's throats.
In the end, he even spoke in Arabic with an excited expression, which made Xiao Yunhai feel gloomy.
If it weren't for Joseph and Terrence who tried to calm them down, they might have already started fighting.
Five minutes later, the dealer said, "Mr. Ai Kailam, I'm very sorry. After careful calculation, 6% of the Gawal Oil Field's profit is about 360 billion US dollars. You can only exchange it for 288 billion US dollars."
Ai Kailam waved his hand and said, "Then exchange it all for me. Everyone, for today's gambling, I hope that everyone's bet will not be less than 100 billion US dollars. If not, please leave. "
Joseph took out a cigar and said, "I'm fine with it."
Terrence Bessey smiled and said, "I'm fine with it too. Mr. Xiao, what about you? "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I only brought 5 billion US dollars. I'm sorry, everyone. You guys are betting too much. I'd better leave. "
Terrence Bessey said, "Mr. Xiao, everyone knows your net worth. It's only 100 billion US dollars. Why do you have to spoil everyone's fun? If only four people play five-card stud, it's too boring. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Alright. Mr. Abdul, since you have so many authorization letters, why don't you lend me 100 billion US dollars? I'll write you an IOU. How about that? "
Abdul smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao's reputation is world-renowned. Of course, there's no problem."
