Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

Chapter 114: Taking the Gambling Card
At nine o'clock, the dinner party in the manor ended.

Sheng Jiale, Jiang Tiansheng and Lei Gong walked out of the villa one after another, then took their respective motorcades and left the manor along the mountain road.

After going down the mountain, they agreed to go directly to the Hilton Hotel.

They have already agreed to He Xin's proposal before, and what they need to do now is to hurry up and discuss it.

After all, the next day was the time to bid for the gambling cards, and they had to come up with a plan before that.

Half an hour later, outside the Hilton Hotel.

A convoy of more than a dozen luxury cars stopped here suddenly, making the doorman at the door dumbfounded.

Sheng Jiale got out of the car, extended his hands to Jiang Tiansheng and Lei Gong, and the three of them immediately walked into the hotel.

"Mr. Sheng, you are back."

The front desk of the hotel said respectfully.

Because I didn't know Jiang Tiansheng and Lei Gong, I just said, "Hi, gentlemen."

Sheng Jiale nodded slightly, then took the people to the elevator and went straight to the top floor.

A moment later, in the presidential suite.

"Please sit down."

Sheng Jiale sat down casually on the sofa, and Jiang Tiansheng and Lei Gong sat down one after another without being polite.

"It just so happens that I have the best Wuyi Dahongpao here, you are lucky.

Taste first, talk later! "

Sheng Jiale took out a small porcelain jar, took some tea leaves from it, and put it into the teapot.

"Excellent Dahongpao? Could it be the legendary Dahongpao mother tree?"

Jiang Tiansheng asked.

Although the ordinary Wuyi Dahongpao is also a high-quality tea, it certainly cannot live up to the word "excellent" in Sheng Jiale's words.

Sheng Jiale smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Jiang is right, it is the Dahongpao mother tree."

"Then my Lei Gong is really lucky."

Lei Gong laughed out loud, looking excited.

There are only six Dahongpao mother trees, and the annual output is very small. It is said that in the past, only the royal relatives were eligible to enjoy it.

Although it is not so exaggerated now, it is not something that can be done if you want to.

Due to the small output, the price will naturally rise, starting at least [-] million per kilogram.

Even so, no matter how many people want to buy it, they can't buy it. After all, there is only a certain amount of output every year.

"It took me a lot of effort to buy these, and they only weigh half a catty.

Still thanks to a big brother!
Otherwise, my face can't be bought! "

Sheng Jiale poured boiling water into the teapot, and a fragrance suddenly burst out from it. These tea leaves were bought by Meng Dahai and him, and of course it was more for Meng Dahai's sake.

Although the aroma of tea leaves is strong, there is no pungent feeling at all, making people feel like being in nature.

Even with Sheng Jiale's keen sense of smell, he didn't feel anything strange, which was why he spent a lot of money to buy Dahongpao.

"Half catty 10 is already a lot. When I wanted to buy it a few years ago, I asked a lot of connections, but I didn't buy it in the end. It's really a pity.

I never thought I could make up for it with Mr. Sheng today, hahaha."

Lei Gong laughed loudly.

"The tea leaves that Mr. Sheng just put in are worth around 5 yuan." Jiang Tiansheng also knew about the Dahongpao mother tree and guessed.

Sheng Jiale smiled and said nothing.

He waited for a while until the tea leaves were fully soaked by the boiling water before pouring out the water.

Wuyi Dahongpao has already been drunk on the tea leaves, so you have to be more particular about drinking tea. You can’t drink the tea after the first brew, and you have to wait until the second brew to get the taste.

Sheng Jiale added boiling water to the teapot, then took out three purple clay teacups and poured three full cups of tea.

"Please use."

He put the teacup in front of Jiang Tiansheng and Lei Gong.

"Thank you." x2
The two thanked each other, and then carefully picked up the teacup, for fear that the tea in it would spill out.

"Well, it is indeed the Dahongpao mother tree. The smell is really unique!"

Lei Gong closed his eyes and said with emotion.

"Indeed, it is worthy of its price." Jiang Tiansheng also enjoyed it.

Sheng Jiale was not as exaggerated as they were. The tea belonged to him. He drank it many times, so naturally he didn't have such a big reaction.

"Okay, it's almost time to get down to business."

Sheng Jiale tapped his fingers on the table.

Hearing this, both Jiang Tiansheng and Lei Gong changed their expressions, "That's right, we want to discuss the auction of gambling cards tomorrow."

"Since He Xin said that the bidding is fair, let's not hide it, let's talk about how much money we can use, so we can have a good idea." Lei Gong said.

Jiang Tiansheng nodded, and he called Chen Haonan in, "Haonan, you call the club and ask how much liquidity is in the club's books."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang."

Chen Haonan immediately took out his mobile phone and communicated with the people from Hong Xing in front of Sheng Jiale and Lei Gong.

A few minutes later, Chen Haonan put down the phone and said to Jiang Tiansheng: "Mr. Jiang, the club has [-] million funds available for use."

"I see, you go down." Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand.

After Chen Haonan left the room, he continued: "You heard it too, I can only take out [-] million here."

In all fairness, [-] million is not a lot.

But what Lei Gong said next made Jiang Tiansheng's face a little ugly.

"Hahaha, such a big Hongxing actually only has [-] million in liquidity.

Too embarrassed? "

"No way, brothers have to eat, but Mr. Lei, how much money can you come up with?" Jiang Tiansheng said calmly.

Lei Gong snorted softly, and said confidently: "My Sanlian Gang mobilizes all its forces, and at least we can spend at least [-] billion!"

"Fifteen billion!"

Jiang Tiansheng was taken aback. His [-] million was indeed a little less in comparison.

It seems that the Sanlian Gang has made a lot of money over the years, otherwise the funds would not be so abundant.

Jiang Tiansheng thought secretly.

At the same time, he is also very clear that Lei Gong is not being taken advantage of, and will not spend [-] billion in vain, and will definitely occupy a greater profit after getting the gambling card.

However, Jiang Tiansheng had nothing to do, after all, Hong Xing only had so much money in his account, so he would not be able to put his own family money into it.

Lei Gong saw Jiang Tiansheng's surprise and was very satisfied with his reaction. Then he looked at Sheng Jiale and said, "I wonder how much Mr. Sheng can bring out?"

For a moment, Jiang Tiansheng also turned his attention to Sheng Jiale. He estimated that the funds that Sheng Jiale's Qiangsheng Group could use should not be much. After all, Qiangsheng Group had only been established not long ago.

Probably between [-] and [-] million.

Jiang Tiansheng guessed silently.

"I can take it out."

Sheng Jiale rubbed his chin and started thinking.

He is not short of money on weekdays, so he has never paid too much attention to the company's accounts, and he really has to think about it for a while.

Qiangsheng Group has many businesses, including stock companies, film and television companies, sports car companies, chain bars, entertainment cities, seafood businesses, Causeway Bay sites and Kwun Tong Pier, etc., there are a lot of them.

It stands to reason that with so much business, Qiangsheng Group should have sufficient funds.

But Sheng Jiale recalled it and discovered that the opposite was true. Because the stall was too big and consumed a lot of funds, Qiangsheng Group did not have much funds on its books.

Even with his own small treasury and the [-] million he won at the Lisboa Casino a few days ago, he could barely make up one billion.

"The funds I can use are not too much. I calculated that it is about one billion."

Sheng Jiale took a sip of tea and said.

When Jiang Tiansheng heard this, his face darkened immediately. In the end, it turned out that he had the least money!
On the other hand, Lei Gong heard that Sheng Jiale probably had one billion. Not only did he not mock Jiang Tiansheng like he did, but he was very happy.

After all, in this way, Jiang Tiansheng and Sheng Jiale did not have as much funds as he did, and Lei Gong would undoubtedly become the leader.

According to their prior agreement, whoever contributes the most in the gambling bidding will get more benefits afterwards.

And occupying the largest proportion of interests, Lei Gong will have a greater say in the matter of gambling in the future.

"Okay, it's enough if Mr. Sheng can spend one billion. We have a total of 30 billion in funds. I don't believe that Haojiang's power can compete with us!"

Lei Gong said excitedly, it seems that the gambling cards are already at your fingertips.

He continued: "I heard that Mr. Sheng's Qiangsheng Group was established not long ago. It seems that it was less than a year. I didn't expect that it could come up with a working capital of one billion. It's really scary."

"Mr. Lei has won the prize."

Sheng Jiale said lightly, not feeling complacent about Lei Gong's praise.

To him, it doesn't matter how outsiders evaluate it. The Qiangsheng Group has begun to show its ferocity, and its strength does not allow anyone to ignore it.

At this time, Jiang Tiansheng also reacted and glanced at Sheng Jiale in surprise.

He almost forgot that Qiangsheng Group had only been established for less than a year.

Due to the violent actions of Qiangsheng Group in the past, such as the attack on Causeway Bay, Jiang Tiansheng always placed Qiangsheng Group on the same level as Hongxing, and never realized that it was just a newly established company.

How did this guy manage to create such a large business force in less than a year?
Jiang Tiansheng was puzzled. To be fair, if he were put in Sheng Jiale's position, he would not be able to do this.

Especially when he recalled everything Sheng Jiale had done before, Jiang Tiansheng was even more frightened.

The next day, Hotel Lisboa.

The luxury car team stopped outside the hotel, and Sheng Jiale, Jiang Tiansheng and Lei Gong got out of the car.

There were He Xin's men waiting for them at the door. When they saw the three people coming, they immediately smiled and said respectfully: "Mr. Sheng, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Lei, please come with me. Mr. He and the others are already in the conference room. "

"it is good."

Sheng Jiale nodded, and the three of them followed the man into the lobby, and then took the elevator to the 28th floor.

In the conference room.Boom, boom, boom.

"Come in." He Xin's steady voice sounded.

"Mr. He, Mr. Sheng and the others are here."

"Let them in."

After receiving He Xin's permission, his subordinates pushed open the conference room door, extended their hands to Sheng Jiale and the other three, "Please come in."

Sheng Jiale and others entered the conference room. There were already many people sitting inside. In addition to He Xin, Mr. He, the eldest sister Situ Yulian, as well as Mo Luo Bing, Beng Yaju, and Luo Sha were all at the conference table. Sitting next to him.

"Hmph, if you're late for such an important time, you might as well not come."

Seeing Sheng Jiale and the other three, Moluo Bing snorted coldly.

"If your watch is broken, take it to repair, don't be ashamed here, just widen your dog eyes to see clearly, what time is it?"

Faced with the provocation, Sheng Jiale responded unceremoniously. He exposed the Rolex on his wrist and almost stretched it to Mo Luo Bing's face.

When it comes to bidding for gambling licenses, Shengjiale will certainly not be late.

He's just used to being on time.

"Damn! How dare you talk to me like that, you think this is Hong Kong Island? Believe it or not, I'll let you be kicked out of this door!"

Mo Luobing was used to domineering in Haojiang, so he had never heard such a thing.

"I'll be with you anytime." Sheng Jiale said calmly.

He is not afraid of Mo Luobing, and if this guy really dares to do something, he doesn't mind letting the latter know what a black hand is.

"Okay, stop arguing, you guys are here to avoid fighting, why are you fighting again?"

He Xin said helplessly.

"This time, I will let you off for the sake of Mr. He." Mo Luobing said.

Sheng Jiale snorted and ignored him.

After the three Sheng Jiale people also sat down at the conference table, He Xin coughed and said, "Now that everyone is here, I won't talk nonsense. The bidding for gambling cards will begin now.

The rules are very simple, the base price of the gambling cards is [-] million, and each increase must not be less than [-] million, and the highest price wins! "

Mo Luobing, Beng Yaju, and Luosha exchanged glances, and then Beng Yaju stood up, "We offer [-] million!"

Since it is an auction, of course it is impossible to directly quote the highest price that one can afford, which is tantamount to giving away all one's old background, and it is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity to fight back.

"Okay, Beng Yaju's bid is [-] million, is there a higher price?" Situ Yulian asked as a guest auctioneer.

Jiang Tiansheng raised his hand over there, "We offer [-] million!"

"Jiang Tiansheng's party is [-] million!"

Luo Sha sneered and said, "Would you like to get a gambling card for [-] million? Let's offer [-] billion!"

He didn't like deviousness, so he doubled the price.

After all, the people here also know that it is basically impossible to buy gambling cards within one billion, and He Xin and others will not allow such a low price to be sold.

"It's not good to be so arrogant with one billion, we will pay 15 billion!"

Lei Gong said.

Then the two sides continued to increase the price, and the price of gambling cards quickly soared.

"18 billion!"

"25 billion!"

"28 billion!"

"30 billion!"

Mo Luobing slapped the table and shouted out the price, "We're going to offer 30 billion! Let's see how you guys are still arguing with me!"

Lei Gong's face suddenly froze, unexpectedly, Mo Luobing was the first to call out 30 billion.

Through the price calls just now, he also guessed the financial situation of Mo Luobing and others, which was probably the same as them, around 30 billion.

But now Mo Luobing is asking the price first. According to the rules set by He Xin, if they want to continue asking the price, the minimum price must be 31 billion.

But 30 billion is already the funds of the three of them, where can I get another [-] million.

Seeing Lei Gong's expression, Mo Luobing burst out laughing, "Old man, you've run out of money! Hahaha, you almost want to compete with us for gambling cards!"

Jiang Tiansheng anxiously said: "What should we do? Our funds have bottomed out."

"Is it just to let them take the gambling cards? Then our previous preparations were in vain." Lei Gong's face was extremely ugly.

“But where can we get [-] million now?”

Jiang Tiansheng looked sad.

"I have a way."

Sheng Jiale, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"You have a way! Mr. Sheng's words are serious!" Lei Gong suddenly raised his head and said in surprise.

Sheng Jiale nodded, "I'll try my best."

"Okay! I'll leave it to you then!" Jiang Tiansheng stared at Sheng Jiale and said, now all their hopes were pinned on Sheng Jiale.

"A group of poor ghosts, if they can't afford the money, they will give up quickly. My time is precious."

Mo Luobing yelled again.

Sheng Jiale ignored him, but looked at He Xin and asked, "Mr. He, can you give me 5 minutes?"

"What do you want in five minutes?" He Xin asked with a smile.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the funds of Sheng Jiale and others have bottomed out, and their current funds must be the limit they can raise. After all, they have enough time in one night.

"Make a call."

Sheng Jiale raised his cell phone.

"Okay, I'll give you 5 minutes, but the ugly words are up front. If you can't continue bidding after 5 minutes, the betting cards will belong to Mo Luobing and the others."

He Xin reminded.

In fact, the reason why he agreed to Sheng Jiale's request was basically because of the face of his precious daughter He Tian'er. After all, he was the person his daughter liked, so he had to give him some preferential treatment.

"Thank you, Mr. He."

Sheng Jiale 487 thanked him, left the conference room, and made a phone call in the corridor.

"Mr. He, isn't this against the rules? Why do so many of us wait for him for 5 minutes?"

Mo Luobing roared at the top of his voice.

But before he could speak, He Xin glared at him.

"Shut up." He Xin said lightly.

Mo Luobing suddenly shivered, shrank his neck, and stopped talking.

in the corridor.

Sheng Jiale dialed a number.

beep.

The call was connected quickly.

"Boss Sheng? It's really rare for you to call me and ask me to guess if you are in trouble?"

A steady voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was the stock market tycoon, Huo Jingliang who spoke.

The Sheng family smiled happily and said, "Mr. Huo's guess is correct. I really have something to ask for when I call you this time."

"Hahaha, don't hide the relationship between us, just speak up if you have something to do, I, Huo Jingliang, will definitely help if I can help."

"Then let me tell you straight, I am in urgent need of 5 million in funds, and it is best to transfer it within [-] minutes." Sheng Jiale said directly.

"Five hundred million?" Huo Jingliang gasped.

Just when Sheng Jiale thought Huo Jingliang was going to refuse, he heard him continue: "No problem, I'll transfer it to you right now."

Huo Jingliang was very happy. Not to mention his appreciation for Sheng Jiale, he had been very happy to cooperate with Qiang Sheng Stocks during this period. He made a lot of money in the stock market, so he had to help Sheng Jiale for this.

Sheng Jiale said happily: "Thank you very much, Mr. Huo. I will definitely pay him a visit in person when I return to Hong Kong one day."

"Okay, I can remember this sentence.

It's done, it's already turned around, since you have urgent matters over there, I won't bother you. "

After Huo Jingliang finished speaking, he took the initiative to hang up the phone.

At this time, Sheng Jiale also received a text message on his mobile phone, which was sent by the bank, reminding him that there was a new balance of [-] million in his account!

"Mr. Huo is really interesting!"

Sheng Jiale cheered up when he saw the text message. With these [-] million, he was almost certain to win the gambling license.

He has estimated that the funds of Beng Yaju and others are only a little over 30 billion, and it is impossible to have as much as 35 billion.

Sheng Jiale immediately opened the door and returned to the conference room.

"How is it? Is there any result?" He Xin asked with a smile.

Seeing his appearance, Sheng Jiale was slightly startled. He didn't know why He Xin suddenly had such a good attitude towards him.

But now is not the time to think about this. Sheng Jiale raised his left hand and spread his fingers.

"We pay 35 billion!"

As soon as he said this, the conference room was suddenly silent.

Especially Mo Luobing, the arrogant expression was even more rigid on his face, which was indescribably weird.

Beng Yaju gritted his teeth at the side, they only prepared 32 billion, which was obtained by searching all their family assets, and now there is no way to find more.

Just a little!
Beng Yaju was very regretful in his heart, and they were only a little bit close to winning the betting card.

"Sheng Jiale's bid is 35 billion! Is there anything higher?"

Situ Yulian looked around, then clapped her hands, "Okay, since there is no such thing, then I announce that Sheng Jiale and the others have bought the gambling card for 35 billion!"
