Chapter 172 - 172 Are You a Big Shot?
172 Are You a Big Shot?
Zhao Yang enjoyed it very much and said proudly, “The things here are all unorthodox. Even if there are some real things, you can’t earn much money from them. They’re different from my family’s antique shop. Sometimes, the real items that you buy from my family’s shop can be sold. The money will be enough to buy a house.”
As soon as Zhao Yang said this, the other two men and one woman nodded. “That’s right. Brother Yang, you’ve been influenced since you were young. Today, we got rich because of you.”
“Hey, what’s there to get rich about? Didn’t I tell you just now?” Zhao Yang waved his hand, but a young man shook his head. “Brother Yang, you don’t know, but there’s a new way of playing here. I guarantee it’ll be straightforward.”
Oh?
These words piqued everyone’s interest. The young man continued, “There’s a casino here to appraise antiques. We can take a look.”
“Is there such a place?” Zhao Yang looked at the young man and had a plan. This time, he could not let his two brothers play without any girls. Immediately, he warmly greeted Chen Yun and the other two. Li Wenjing was also afraid that Chen Yun would be tricked and pulled him along. Chen Yun could only follow.
They arrived at a wooden building.
Chen Yun and the others arrived relatively late. Firstly, they were stopped by a few burly men in black at the door. Naturally, they could not enter such a private casino just because they wanted to. Firstly, they had to see who you were. Secondly, the guests had to pay for the tickets.
Just the tickets alone cost 1,000 yuan per person.
Zhao Yang readily paid for them. It was a total of 8,000 yuan, which stunned Zhang Yuwan and Wang Meiqing. Each ticket cost 1,000 yuan, which was almost equivalent to their monthly living expenses. However, had Zhao Yang just spent it like that?
After entering the wooden building, waves of heat surged over.
Chen Yun looked over and saw that it was already half full. There were hundreds of people. This round of gambling had yet to begin and there was a song and dance performance on the stage. At this moment, the singer was actually a slightly famous second-rate singer. However, everyone’s attention was not on her at all.
Then, the next round of treasures went on stage. There were a few porcelain plates. The rules of the bet were also simple. Treasures would be placed among these porcelain plates. In the end, the professionals here would announce the results.
Such a bet depended on each person’s ability. If they were capable, they would profit. If they were not, they would lose everything.
Everyone stood up and surrounded these porcelain pieces to look at them. However, they could not touch them. They could only confirm if they were real or fake by looking at them.
Then, they could place their bets.
There was a betting slip on the plate at the side. If one liked any of the treasures, one could place a bet. They could just sign a check on the spot. The competition organizers were not afraid that one would go back on your word. If anyone dared to go back on their word, they would dare to knock on this person’s door and kidnap them for money.
They would definitely not be able to leave Shennong Mountain.
Seeing this, Chen Yun shook his head slightly.
In such a competition, it was obvious that they could not earn much money by relying on tickets and alcohol. The bulk of the money was in the gambling pool. It looked like there was a lot of money flowing here. It was probably close to 100 million yuan a day.
“How is it? Do you want to play?” Zhao Yang smiled at them with the betting slip.
Then, he bet 100,000 yuan on a porcelain plate. The others more or less bet tens of thousands. Even Li Wenjing was made to bet 10,000 yuan by her boyfriend.
At this moment, only Zhang Yuwan, Chen Yun, and Wang Meiqing were left.
When Zhang Yuwan saw that the lowest bet was 10,000 yuan per person, she quickly shook her head in fear.
Zhao Yang smiled and said, “It’s fine. If you don’t have money, Brother Zhao will lend it to you first. When you win, you can return it to Brother Zhao.”
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yun.
He knew that young people were the most hot-blooded at this time and could not tolerate others provoking them. Furthermore, in front of girls, even if they did not have money, they had to borrow money.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yun was like an old Buddha who was unmoved.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuwan seemed to be a little tempted. She and Wang Meiqing were not from families with high-ranking officials, so they valued money very much. However, seeing that Chen Yun did not move, she did not dare to interrupt casually and sat obediently beside Chen Yun.
Zhao Yang smiled. He knew that she still needed some time, so he didn’t mind.
Soon, the results were announced. The porcelain plate Zhao Yang had bet on was real!
At that moment, many people were unconvinced. The entire scene appeared to be in a crazy state. There were even people who shouted crazily after going bankrupt. However, they were “invited” out by the burly men in black.
Then, there was another round. Everyone displayed their abilities. Some people’s eyes turned red. Some people followed the experts and placed their bets. The winners were in high spirits and generously placed their bets, while the losers’ eyes turned red. They wished they could bet all their assets next and turn the tables in one go.
“We won again. We earned at least twice as much this time. Brother Zhao, you’re really awesome.”
A young man suddenly jumped up and waved his fist with all his might. He looked at Brother Zhao excitedly.
Brother Zhao also smiled proudly. After all, he was an expert and could tell a little about such things. Therefore, under his guidance, the chances of everyone winning were very high. After a few rounds, they had earned at least a hundred thousand yuan. Whether it was Li Wenjing or the others, everyone looked at Brother Zhao differently.
Even Zhang Yuwan could not help but feel her heart palpitate. The money these people earned was enough to buy half a house.
At this moment, Zhao Yang encouraged them again.
“Chen Yun, Sister Yuwan, Sister Meiqing, are you going to place a bet?”
“We’re here to pick up money for free. Don’t worry, I’ll lend you the betting fee. When you earn money, just return the betting fee to me.”
“Okay.” Zhang Yuwan hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and nodding.
Zhao Yang could not help but reveal a smug smile in his eyes. He could not help but look at the two young men beside him. They could see the excitement in each other’s eyes.
The fish was finally going to take the bait.
Meanwhile, Chen Yun watched coldly from the sidelines. He knew exactly what was happening, but he had no intention of speaking. He wanted to see how these people wanted to play.
As expected, Zhang Yuwan and the others won the next round and earned a few thousand yuan. The two girls were so excited that their faces were red as they looked at Zhao Yang and the others gratefully.
“Why, Brother Chen Yun, aren’t you coming to play?”
Zhao Yang held Li Wenjing’s waist and asked with a faint smile.
In his opinion, the moment the two girls took the bait, Chen Yun was no longer important. He was just an insignificant figure with a background. If not for his girlfriend, he would have chased Chen Yun away long ago.
Although Zhang Yuwan was excited, her little head was still clear. She said timidly, “Brother Chen Yun is a big shot. He shouldn’t care about this small sum of money.”
After all, she knew that Chen Yun had a villa and a sports car in Jiang City. Even a few hundred thousand yuan should not be enough to catch Brother Chen Yun’s eye, let alone a few thousand yuan.
“A big shot?” Zhao Yang pursed his lips and was about to laugh.
This kid?
Was the person who could not even bear to take out 10,000 yuan and let the girls beside him borrow money from others a big shot?
However, when he saw Zhang Yuwan’s serious expression, he couldn’t go overboard. He smiled and didn’t say anything.
