God of NBA point guards

Chapter 494
Everyone's attention returned to the table. Stallone's card had a pair of old aces and a four, which was the biggest. His hole card was the old king. He had lost more than 40, and only threw in $[-].

"I follow."

Chen Long held six, seven, eight, miscellaneous flowers, and the hole card was five, and followed with ten thousand.

"Brother Chen is betting on a straight! There are only two left in the five, and only one left in the nine. The chance is very small." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Let's see how our luck goes." Chen Long said with a smile.

Tom Cruise had a pair of ten and old ace, and his hole card was also ten. He smiled, grabbed a stack of chips, counted them, pushed them out, and then said: "Ten thousand, plus one hundred thousand."

"Three?"

Stallone glanced at Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise smiled and was about to speak when Nicole Kidman next to him smiled and said, "It's possible."

"Then I'm not going."

Roberts' cards were a pair of sevens and a jack, and her hole card was also a seven. She followed for $15 in the first two rounds. When she saw Tom Cruise adding $[-], it was probably not a steal, but it was probably a set of ten, so she directly chose to cover it. Card.

"I follow."

Arnold's card at the back showed a pair of mistresses and preserved eggs. His trump card was preserved eggs, two pairs. He was confident. He chewed his cigar, grabbed a stack of chips and threw them out with dignity.

"Pfft!"

Stallone laughed and joked: "Arnold, I bet that your hole card must be three. Tom is probably three-in-ten. Do you dare to follow it?"

"What if he steals the plane?" Arnold said unconvinced.

Zhou Quan was under Arnold, playing with chips and analyzing the cards. After hearing what the two said, he couldn't help but smile:
"Two decks of cards have eight threes. A total of six threes have been played. There may also be three among the discarded cards, and there are still four preserved eggs that have not come out. There is a greater chance that Arnold's trump card is preserved eggs."

Arnold was stunned and said helplessly: "Iron Fist, how can you calculate so clearly when you are betting a small amount of money for someone worth [-] million every minute?"

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat! But I won't follow." Zhou Quan chose to fold his cards.

"Both pairs won't follow?" Phillip said sadly.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "I have lower cards than Arnold. Let his pair of preserved eggs and mistresses play with them."

Looking at the Tom Cruise card, Arnold couldn't help but bite his cigar, feeling that the chips he just threw out would never come back.

It was Stallone's turn. He chose to follow and threw another $[-] in chips.

Chen Long's head was big, and after thinking about it, he went out with the 16 US dollars. Not short of the [-] US dollars, he also grabbed a stack of chips and threw them up.

At this time the dealer begins to deal the last round of cards.

Aaron carefully picked up the last two cards, staggered them bit by bit, couldn't help laughing, slapped the cards on the table, and shouted with a smile: "Nine, I got it."

"Oh!"

Seeing Chen Long's Nine, several others shook their heads regretfully. The Iron Fist King just said that this was the last Nine, and Chen Long could actually get it.

The other three also showed their cards, Stallone got a six, Tom Cruise got an eight, and Arnold got a five.

Zhou Quan didn't have anything to do with it. The reason he didn't follow was that he thought Tom Cruise was really serious.

"Stud."

Chen Long smiled and pushed out all the chips in front of him with both hands.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Stallone, Arnold, and Zhou Quan all folded their cards directly.

"Snapped"

Tom Cruise regretfully picked up his cards and folded them.

If Jackie Chan didn't hit the straight, he probably won by himself and regretted that he had just added less. Adding more would not scare Jackie Chan away, and it might also scare away Stallone, in which case Jackie Chan would not be able to get the nine.

"Thank you! I got my money back."

Chen Long smiled and grabbed a pile of chips on the table with his hands.

"Brother Chen, this one is worth at least 150 million. You made at least 100 million." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"There should be." Chen Long said happily.

Tom Cruise said to Zhou Quan at this time: "Tekken, I am preparing for Mission: Impossible 2. Are you interested in a guest role?"

"When?" Zhou Quan asked.

"The script has been finalized, the funds have been secured, and filming will begin next year. By the way, the director is Mr. Wu Yusen from Xiangcheng," said Tom Cruise.

Chen Long: "Director Wu? His film 'Face/Off' in Hollywood this year was a big hit!"

"That's why I invited him." Tom Cruise said with a smile.

Zhou Quan smiled. Some directors asked him to film. He was not interested, but his friend's movie asked him to make a guest appearance. This could be considered. He nodded and said, "You can let me know when the time comes. But Tom, let's talk first. I But I don’t have the acting skills and not much time.”

"Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem. I will find the producer and arrange a suitable role for you." Tom Cruise said happily.

"Iron Fist, then you have to make a cameo in my movie." Arnold yelled.

"And mine. Arnold and I's movie is the most suitable for you. No acting skills required, just pretending to be cool." Stallone also joined in the fun.

"Don't forget about my movie." Chen Long didn't forget to chime in.

"..."

Zhou Quan suddenly felt dizzy.

Fortunately, Roberts and the others didn't say anything. Although they are also A-list superstars, they have little say in their own movies.

Roberts had no interest in gambling and said at this time: "There are financial problems in Southeast Asia during this period. What impact do you think it will have on the U.S. economy?"

Tom Cruise said: "Since July, the S&P 500 index has risen a bit, but it has been hovering around 800 points in the past two or three months. However, the S&P 500 has risen by [-]% this year, which is a bit large. Do I think it will fall in the future?
My stockbroker does not recommend reducing positions, saying that now that the U.S. dollar is returning, the stock market will rise. Now I am a little conflicted. "

Stallone said with some concern: "But now many Internet companies have gone bankrupt."

"Rambo, you didn't invest, did you?" Zhou Quan asked.

"NO, I only invested in Amazon. Other Internet companies have not been listed. I don't want to be an angel." Stallone said.

"Amazon has been rising, and the company's operations are also very strong. Iron Fist, your recommendation is really good." Roberts said happily.

"Yes, I have made [-]% of my investment in Amazon." O'Neill shouted at the table next to him.

Zhou Quan said at this time: “You don’t have to worry about Amazon, Jeff Bezos’ development style is very stable.

As for those Internet companies that went bankrupt, they expanded too fast, causing the capital chain to break. When all the money was burned, the company went bankrupt.This can be regarded as squeezing the bubble. Internet investment has been so hot in recent years.

The financial turmoil in Southeast Asia should generally have both bad and good effects on the U.S. economy.I'm not a professional, just talking.

As the U.S. dollar appreciates significantly, import prices will fall significantly, thereby reducing domestic inflation in the United States, lowering long-term interest rates, and bank costs will also fall, which is a good point.

In the long run, this financial crisis will make the U.S. dollar system stronger and more investors will believe in the U.S. dollar system. "Having said this, he is also a little worried, because after the US dollar system becomes stronger, it will inevitably make the United States have stronger control over the world, and even US dollar hegemony will emerge, which will inevitably affect China.

"What about the bad ones?" Roberts asked.

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "The U.S. stock market was in a bull market throughout the 90s. Now that the Southeast Asian financial crisis has occurred, I think it will spread to the United States sooner or later, and it may accelerate the end of the bull market."

Roberts asked: "Iron Fist, what about the short-term effect on the stock market?"

Zhou Quan said with certainty: "In the short term, it will inevitably have an impact on the U.S. stock market. If you have a large amount of securities investment, I suggest you choose to reduce your holdings of stocks with poor performance, and you can continue to hold blue chip stocks.

As for the mid-to-long term, led by technology stocks, the U.S. stock market has been in a bull market for many years. In addition, Internet technology has shown bubbles. I am not optimistic about it. It may turn from bullish to bearish in the next few years. "

By this time, Don King had returned to his villa in New York.

Tonight's boxing match made him extremely disappointed, and he was also extremely disappointed with Tyson, because after this defeat, Tyson's value will definitely drop sharply, and the money he will make from Tyson in the future will be greatly reduced.

When he first attended the party, he didn't think clearly about it and wanted Tyson to have a rematch with the Iron Fist King. Later, when he calmed down, he didn't want to have a rematch.

The reason is simple. He lost so badly tonight. If he loses miserably in the second fight, Tyson's reputation in the boxing world will plummet, and the trump card in his hand will be completely useless.

Thinking of this, he regretted that he shouldn't have had this boxing match with the Iron Fist King at all.

In the past, when he chose opponents for Tyson, he would not look for very strong opponents, such as super boxing champions such as Foreman and Holyfield, but chose many opponents of average strength for Tyson.

……

"121 seconds earned 2.7 million U.S. dollars, earning an average of 225 million U.S. dollars per second, making King of Iron Fist the most profitable machine on the planet." The New York Times.

"The Iron Fist King took only 121 seconds to become a double champion! Iron man Michael Tyson fell." Los Angeles Times.

"The King of Iron Fist KOs Iron Man Michael Tyson in the first round, becoming a double champion and becoming the super king of professional boxing." Germany's Bild newspaper.

"PPV revenue of 5.4 million and box office of US$1 million swept all sales records in professional boxing!" British Daily Telegraph.

"The greatest East Asian of this era, Iron Fist King Zhou Quan won the Battle of the Century in 121 seconds!" Tokyo Daily News.

"Under the light of King of Iron Fist, Iron Michael has become a thing of the past!" French newspaper Le Figaro.

"Being knocked out in the first round, the iron man became scrap metal and became the supreme iron boxing champion." Miami Daily.

“The days of Iron Michael are gone forever, and professional heavyweight boxing has entered the era of the Iron Fist King.” Detroit Daily Worker.

"Michael Tyson should fire Don King. This is a title fight that should never have happened because it cost Michael everything." The Washington Post.

The next day, countless media around the world rushed to report the news of the boxing match, and the name of the super boxing champion Iron Fist resounded around the world.

At the same time, as an opponent, Michael Tyson was relegated to the gutter by the media, and his reputation plummeted to the bottom.

On the morning of the 3rd, Zhou Quan got up just as it was about to arrive.

"Husband, I just received some bad news." Zeng Li said helplessly.

"What's going on?" Zhou Quan was startled.

"Director Liu from the domestic basketball management center called you and said that the men's basketball team lost to the South Korean team in the semifinals last night." Zeng Li said.

"what?"

Zhou Quan's brain is numb, how can he lose even if he beats a bunch of sticks?

If he loses the Asian Championship, the men's basketball team will not be able to compete in next year's World Championship. He has lost an opportunity to win the world championship. If he wants to complete the second branch task of the system, there is only one chance left, the 2000 Olympic Games.

This was indeed bad news and made him very depressed.If I had known earlier, I would have rushed to Saudi Arabia right after the Tyson fight, and I should have been able to catch up with the semi-finals.

But it's too late to regret now, we can only wait for the 2000 Olympics.

After a while, Philip brought Bob Arum to the hotel and found him.

"Mr. Arum and I had another conversation with Mr. Donkin last week, and this time he made it clear that Tyson's appearance fee should be kept at US$4000 million," he said.

Zhou Quan was stunned. If he didn't want to fight, he could just say so.

Arum smiled and said: "He just doesn't want to fight. This old fox is probably regretting letting Tyson fight you now."

Zhou Quan thought for a while and said: "In this case, he helped me last time. If the media asks why we didn't fight the promised second fight, just say that the conditions were not negotiated."

"OK."

Phillip nodded and said again: "Your bet?"

"What bet?" Zhou Quan was startled.

"It's the loser who gives the winner free training." Philip reminded him with a smile.

Zhou Quan laughed, shook his head and said, "Forget it."

Phillip nodded and said: "Mr. Tang Jin asked to participate in the promotion of your subsequent boxing matches, Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Quan hesitated for a moment and said: "Although Tang Jin is a vampire, it has nothing to do with me, and he can't suck me. You and Mr. Arum can decide for yourself.

Moreover, his connections are wider than Mr. Arum’s. If I want to fight a unification war, I’m afraid his connections are indispensable. "

Arum nodded and said: "King of Iron Fist, you now hold the WBC and WBA titles, and you still have the WBO and IBF titles left.

Unification fights are difficult to fight. Over the years, no one has completed a unification fight at any level. This is not only due to the strength of the boxers, but also the more critical reason. The interests of all parties cannot be balanced and a unification fight cannot be launched.

Therefore, we really need promoters like Tang Jin to join in the planning of the unified war. We cannot rely solely on our own connections. "

Then he talked about the relevant information about the current WBO and IBF heavyweight world boxing champions.

The current head of WBO is British boxing champion Herbie Hyde, nicknamed the Dancing Killer and also calls himself British Tyson.

Lewis, the current head of the IBF organization.

Arum said: "Both of them are British. Herbie Head is also very good. His strength and agility are amazing. He has a killer instinct. He is called the powerful Ali. He is the boxer with the fastest KO ability in the boxing world. one.

His agent is the famous British boxing agent and promoter Eddie Hearn, who is very difficult to deal with.

If you want to fight Herbie Hyde in a unification fight, especially if you KO Tyson in the first round, Eddie Hearn will probably not consider fighting you in a unification fight. "

"Afraid of losing." Philip said directly.

Arum nodded and said, "That's it."

Then he talked about Lewis and said: "Lewis' broker promoter is the famous British broker promoter Frank Warren. He comes from a family in the British gambling industry and it is not easy to handle."

"Lewis has already said that he wants to fight me. He shouldn't refuse, right?" Zhou Quan said.

"Tyson was defeated miserably at your hands, so I won't talk about it now." Phillip said with a smile.

An old fox-like smile appeared on Arum's face, and he said: "All actions are based on profit considerations. Iron Fist King, let's talk to them first. If we can't reach an agreement, then we can impress them with huge benefits."

Zhou Quan nodded. If they couldn't reach an agreement, they could only transfer some of their interests, hoping that the promotion of the unified war would proceed smoothly.
