Chapter 348 Texas Hold'em
Jamie Dimon!

Met the night before.

The president of American Express Bank, the assistant of Sandy Weir, the legend of Wall Street!

In other words, Wells Fargo's ability is not small. In addition to the customers of the bank, it also invited talents from all walks of life, and even senior executives of several banks participated.

And don't worry about whether these peers will poach their customers.

It can be seen that the arrangement of this reception really has ulterior motives.

"Hi, Su." Jamie Dimon took the initiative to say hello: "I'm going to play cards, are you interested in going together?"

"Playing cards? Interested." Su Chen nodded quickly.

This guy is a financial genius, a legend on Wall Street, and is known as the most awesome banker in the world.

Su Chen is going to trick this guy into doing things with him, although the hope is slim, but as long as he meets him, he is ready to grab the other's wool.

Miranda and Avril said: "Su, let's not go, let's go to the gallery, you and your friends have a better time."

"Okay." Su Chen kissed the two in turn, and the two girls left hand in hand.

Damon smiled and said, "Look, buddy, you are so easy to make people jealous. I heard that a guy with no eyes is going to pick up Miranda just now? If it were me, I would throw him overboard."

"That would be against the law." Su Chen said: "Although it is against the law, I really wanted to throw that guy into the sea to feed the sharks just now, but I met George."

"Man, you are a celebrity at Harvard now." Dimon continued: "Even us old school friends are shocked by you. I have to say that your two books really surprised us."

"So, I have to call you brother, right?" Su Chen said with a smile: "Dude, you have to go back to school often, and pass on some learning experience to us juniors by the way. Wall Street."

Damon sighed: "Do you think I don't want to go back and watch it? I have to have time, let's go, I have an appointment with a few people, let's go to the chess and card room together."

Because there is still some distance from here to the chess and card room, the two chatted while walking.

"Dimon, as a staff member of American Express Bank, you came to participate in Wells Fargo's activities. Are you trying to poach customers from here?" Su Chen asked.

Dimon spread his hands: "Su, it's fine if you understand it this way. I have to serve my own job, don't I? If you also want to handle business with American Express Bank, I will recommend you the most suitable one, as long as you pay a little The handling fee is enough."

"No, I plan to invest in a bank recently." Su Chen shook his head.

Dimon was stunned for a moment: "Investment bank? Su, didn't you just invest in 20th Century Fox? You still invest in the bank?"

"Strictly speaking, I'm going to buy a banking license and set up my own bank." Su Chen looked serious: "Banking is one of the most profitable industries, so I'm going to start a bank by myself for fun."

Dimon thought about it for a while: "Su, if you really want to invest in a bank, you have to think about the risks of bad debts and bad debts."

"Of course." Su Chen said, "However, it may be difficult for me to obtain a banking license due to my personal status, but I am still optimistic about banks. My next investment direction is the banking industry."

Before going abroad, he asked Tang Wanru to see if he could get a bank license in Hong Kong. If he could, he would definitely buy it.

And if he can buy a banking license in the United States now, he must also buy it.

When I have time later, I have to ask Hugh Eaton to see if I can get a banking license.

"Speaking of this, I heard that the commercial credit company is not doing well, and investors are preparing to sell. If you are interested, I suggest you ask." Dimon said.

See, that's the benefit of networking.

But the premise is to get along well with the other party, otherwise, who will bird you?

And the 10-minute meeting between the old fox Hugh Eaton and him the night before yesterday also made many people wonder about his weight in Wells Fargo.

Speaking of this company, Su Chen immediately became interested.

"I've heard about this too, and I'm planning to wait until a while to see it." Su Chen said with a smile: "If the price is acceptable, I will buy it."

Although he wanted to dig Damon to help, he couldn't do it in person, and besides Damon, there was also his master, Sandy Weir.

Both are legends on Wall Street.

Moreover, Dimon reminded him that when he was free later, he had to go to the data company to buy the shares in their hands, and then the commercial credit company would turn around and own them.

Of course, the premise is that you can buy it.

Now he still has hundreds of millions available, so there should be no problem.

Moreover, I also gave gifts to Bush Sr. and Reagan. Although it is possible that these two people will treat me in the future, at this stage, they should not do anything for the time being.

Slaughtered myself as a fattened pig.

But things are still far away in the future, not to mention that by that time, it is estimated that they will have to weigh their own weight.

"Man, how are you doing in American Express?" Su Chen asked, "If I don't like it, if I invest in the bank, I hope you can help me."

"Let's talk about it at that time." Damon said with a smile: "It's too early to talk about this now, isn't it?"

Su Chen shrugged: "There is a saying in China that says how bold a person is, how productive the land is, and one must have a dream. What if it comes true?"

"Yes, I agree with this sentence." Damon said with a smile.

While talking, the two came to the chess and card room.

And there are still many people in the chess and card room.

After seeing Su Chen and Damon, everyone they knew greeted each other.

Su Chen said with a smile: "Guys, if it was in a bar, I would definitely greet the bartender and ask them to serve you good wine, and then credit it to my account, but unfortunately, we are all on the boat now, and we eat The accommodation is paid for by Wells Fargo, and I can only wish you all the best of luck."

"Su, you can say that winning or losing is up to you." Edmund Pratt Jr. laughed: "Man, if you say that, I guarantee you, you will definitely win the friendship of the guys."

"Platt, I don't have that ability yet." Su Chen asked curiously, "I didn't see you yesterday, so I thought you weren't coming."

Pratt sighed: "Dude, not everyone is as free as you, just come when you say it, we have to deal with company affairs to come over, I just arrived this morning, and George is with you, by the way, you didn't see To George?"

"George was still in the bath just now, and he was sweating all over." Su Chen said, "Are you two together? Could it be that he was the one who took the initiative?"

Everyone froze for a moment, and then roared with laughter.

"Fack." Pratt said with black hair, "Su, I feel that there is something in your words. Damn it, if you get sick next time, don't buy the medicine produced by our company."

"Hahaha!"

Several people in the chess and card room couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Man, your threat isn't working at all."

"You should be more ruthless, but are you really passive?"

"I have to say that George is more likely to take the initiative."

"Su, your logic is really too strong. I will have to buy two of your books to study later."

"..."

The topics between men are naturally easy to talk about, most of them are money and beauties, and occasionally some jokes and the like.

Pratt shrugged, naturally he would not be angry about this kind of thing.

"Guys, what are you laughing at?" Bush Jr. asked curiously after he entered.

When everyone saw Bush Jr. coming in, they couldn't help laughing.

Bush Jr. was at a loss.

Dimon explained, and Bush Jr. blinked: "Your laughter is too low, guys, let's not talk about this, there are so many old friends, why don't we come to play Texas Hold'em? Anyway, it's okay to be idle .”

Texas hold'em is a very skillful poker game, and it is also a favorite of many old Americans. There is a certain element of luck, but players mainly rely on intelligence, skill, and brains.

But to become a successful Texas Hold'em player, one must not only master the basic offensive and defensive strategies, but also be able to recognize the opponent's various card-playing tricks, and adopt different strategies according to different opponents.

Playing Texas Hold'em is like running a marathon. Whoever is more patient and has a higher level of skill will win.

The chess and card room can be exchanged for chips, and there is no need to pay cash, but checks can be used, because the chess and card room is not in charge of Wells Fargo Bank, it is a business on a cruise ship, and the winning or losing of this kind of game can only be paid by the customer himself.

But it is also impossible to exchange excessively high chips, which can only be exchanged up to [-]. If the customer wants to play big, then the customer and the customer will gamble, and the cruise ship only provides places.

Bush Jr.'s proposal was immediately approved by everyone, and someone had already exchanged chips before.

Su Chen also went to exchange for [-] chips.

Then he took a seat, and Pratt sat down next to him.

This is a player-to-player public card game. There are at least 2 players on a table and a maximum of 22 players. Generally, 2-10 players participate. Now there are only eight players in the chess and card room, and exactly eight players can participate.

Although in each round of betting, the amount of bets has a certain limit.

But someone suggested no-limit betting, which was more risky but more challenging and exciting, and everyone agreed immediately.

Unlimited betting means that during each round of betting, there is no limit to the bet amount, but if you want to raise, the raise amount must be at least twice the bet amount of the player in front of you.

For example, if the player in front of you bets $10, you can raise to $50. If the player behind you wants to raise, he must bet at least $100. Of course, he can also raise to $200 or $500.

Just as Su Chen was about to make a blind bet, suddenly...
