Chapter 397-Chapter 398 Fullhouse

Seeing this formation, Zhuang Rui felt a little helpless. He was provoking someone. He just came to gamble on the boat and was forced to gamble. Then the younger one won and the older one was attracted. Zhuang Rui

I don’t know if I can feel a little calmer after finishing my gambling today.

Zhuang Rui also discussed with Qin Xuanbing yesterday that he would return to the mainland immediately after the bet. There are too many disputes in Hong Kong. Sometimes you don't provoke others, but others will provoke you.

Although this trip to Hong Kong was fruitful, Zhuang Rui still felt a little regretful. He should keep a low profile, but he knew that after the gambling was over, people in Hong Kong's rich circle would probably know him.

What Zhuang Rui doesn't know is that these rich people travel together, which makes the paparazzi in Hong Kong anxious. However, these people are either taking private yachts or taking helicopters, leaving these paparazzi with no chance at all. Otherwise, I'm afraid,

Zhuang Rui's photo will be on the headlines of Hong Kong entertainment newspapers tomorrow.

"Mr. Ouyang, please sit over here. Our ancestor will be here soon."

Zheng Hua, who was directing people to place chairs in the casino, saw Ouyang Jun and others coming in and quickly came over to say hello.

"Oh? Mr. Zheng is here too? Grandpa asked me to say hello to him."

As soon as Ouyang Jun finished speaking, a group of old men walked in from the entrance of the casino. Yes, it was a group. There were a dozen gray-haired old men who walked in with the help of others. Qin Xuanbing's grandfather was also here.

among the crowd.

Zhuang Rui was most afraid of these interactions. When he saw these people coming in, he took Qin Xuanbing and hid in a corner, while Ouyang Jun and Xu Qing went up to meet them, along with some old people who had a good relationship with Mr. Ouyang.

The conversation started, and of course, with his status and seniority, he could only nod and say hello everywhere. If it were Ouyang Lei, these old people wouldn't dare to care.

The old people walked to the chairs in the front row at the gambling table and sat down one by one. People like Qin Haoran sat in the back row. As for Zheng Hua, they could only stand

They were watching the battle from the side, but Ouyang Jun was a guest and came on behalf of Mr. Ouyang, so there were two seats for him in front.

As soon as everyone sat down, another group of people walked in from outside the gambling hall. The leader was a tall old man with a broad forehead, a high nose, and a pair of eyes like a hawk. There seemed to be something unspeakable about this old man.

Charming attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the gambling hall. From Zhuang Rui's appearance, he should be a mixed race, and he looked familiar.

"He is Macau gambling king Stanley Ho..."

Qin Xuanbing whispered in Zhuang Rui's ear that she was not very fond of this gambling king. In Qin Xuanbing's eyes, this man who married four wives, had many lovers, had many romantic encounters throughout his life, and was boundless in gentleness.

It's just a big radish.

Stanley Ho was born in a well-known family in Hong Kong, Robert Ho Tung. However, his achievements and fame did not rely on the blessing of his ancestors. When he was young, his father went bankrupt and his family was in decline. He suffered from the hardships of the world. When he was young, he fled to Macau to avoid the war. He only had 10 Hong Kong dollars on him and fought with bare hands.

Survive a narrow escape and win millions.

Although Stanley Ho himself is not a gambling addict, in Hong Kong and Macau, as long as you say the word "King of Gambling", people will know that you are referring to Stanley Ho. He is famous and has been a dominant player in the gambling industry for decades!

It can be said that Stanley Ho is the most powerful, most profitable, most famous and longest-reigning gambling king in the history of Macau gambling. His life is full of legend.

Zhuang Rui's eyes looked at the old gambling king for a while, then moved behind him. Following He Hong was the shipping king Shu Wen.

On the other side of Stanley Ho's body was a foreigner, about forty years old, not tall, but with a pair of bright eyes. When Zhuang Rui looked at him, he seemed to sense something and turned his head towards him.

Zhuang Rui glanced in the direction where he was.

After Ho Hong and others entered the gambling hall, they immediately greeted the group of people who came first. Looking at the lively scene, it seemed a bit like they were about to have a gambling game, but a gathering of old friends. However,

After Shu Wen looked around in the casino, he immediately walked over to Zhuang Rui.

"Mr. Zhuang, I brought my bet, do you want to take a look first?"

Shu Wen didn't expect that the impact of this bet would be so great yesterday, but he couldn't stop it, so he took the few remaining treasures and antiques from his father-in-law's villa, just in case Zhuang Rui

If he cancels the bet on the pretext that his items are not good enough, Shu Wen will lose a lot of face.

"Of course, I hope Dr. Shu will not disappoint me..."

Zhuang Rui nodded. He would not try to make a fool of himself. If the object was not worth it, why would he let himself gamble?

Shu Wen waved his hand, and several people following him placed the objects they were holding or holding on the only gaming table in the casino, then opened the outer packaging and displayed the objects inside.

.

"Mr. Zhuang, please read slowly." Shu Wen made a gesture of invitation, but he was blocked in front of Zhuang Rui.

Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, he waved to the waiters to place the pieces of porcelain he won yesterday and Lang Shining's paintings of palace concubines on the gambling table.

Shu Wen smiled, then got out of the way, and asked an old man behind him to go and inspect what Zhuang Rui had brought out. Although Zhuang Rui did not leave the gambling boat yesterday, it was impossible for him to play the trick of stealing and exchanging pillars.

But Shu Wen brought an appraiser from a famous auction house in Hong Kong just in case.

Zhuang Rui ignored Shu Wen and others and went straight to the gambling table to look at the objects Shu Wen brought. There were two pieces of porcelain and two scrolls in total. The number was one less than yesterday, but antiques were

, it’s not just the quantity that’s valuable. For example, Jingdezhen still bakes so many ceramics every year, but the total sum of them may not be as valuable as the one thing on this table.

The two pieces of porcelain are a pair of Kangxi-style blue and white jade pots. They have fine texture, smooth glaze, pure blue and white hair color, and very bright colors. The whole thing has many layers, the picture is full, the priorities are clear, and they are integrated and not given to each other.

People tend to think it is trivial and piled up, but after Zhuang Rui used his spiritual energy to look at it, he found that it was indeed a masterpiece among Kangxi blue and white flowers and was worth a lot of money.

"Damn, it's hard to find anything in China, but this foreigner can get a pair..."

Zhuang Rui felt a little resentful. It could be seen that those bandits back then had stolen countless treasures passed down from their ancestors from the country, and now they were taking them out openly. It could be said that they were extremely shameless.

It's just that the market value of this pair of porcelain is similar to that of the pair of white porcelain from Ming Yongle. Obviously, the price of the other two paintings must be higher. Otherwise, according to my own statement, the value of these objects is not equal. Gambling

But it is not established.

Zhuang Rui couldn't wait to spread a scroll on the table, and was stunned. Not to mention the scroll itself, Zhuang Rui was shocked by the inscriptions in the corners of the painting. The most obvious one was "Ti

Zhuang Rui knew that the seal with the words "Master Yuan" was the private seal of Emperor Kangxi, which was enough to prove that this painting definitely came from the palace.

This painting is Shen Zhou's "High Picture of Mount Lu" vertical scroll paper painting. It uses a few simple colors to outline the steepness and beauty of Mount Lu, Changchuan Waterfall, green pines and yellow stones on the paper. It is majestic and majestic, ready to be seen, like a village.

Even someone like Rui who didn't know much about ancient paintings was fascinated by it.

The whole painting is about two meters in length and about one meter in width. Such a size is extremely rare in ancient paintings. Shen Zhou mostly painted small paintings in his early years, and began to make large paintings after he was 40 years old. His painting techniques in middle age are rigorous and delicate.

, I practiced calmly and vigorously with my pen, and won with my strength. In my later years, my pen and ink were simple and bold, with strong momentum.

He was a man of profound knowledge, rich collections, and extensive contacts, and was highly praised by later generations of famous people. Wen Zhengming once called him a "man among the gods" who transcended the world.

Shen Zhou's works were favored by several emperors of the Qing Dynasty. This painting contains the bell seals and inscriptions of the three emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. Zhuang Rui estimates that the value of this painting is higher than that of Lang Shining's concubines.

The market price is much higher.

It's just that Zhuang Rui had heard that this painting was hidden in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. When he saw it today, he realized that the rumors were mostly false. Apart from anything else, Zhuang Rui dared to conclude that the rich, almost purple aura in the scroll was...

This painting is absolutely real.

In addition, it is also a work by Shen Zhou. This is a small calligraphy work "Landscape Calligraphy". It has a total of sixteen pages. The calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, and it is extremely well preserved. There is basically no damage. This experience

More than six hundred years have not been easy.

The price of this pair of porcelain and two works by Shen Zhou is no less than the several items Zhuang Rui won yesterday. After looking at these things, Zhuang Rui nodded and said to Shu Wen, who had been watching him:

"Dr. Shu is also a collector. These few things are good. The bet between us can be established."

Shu Wen did not rush to reply, but waited until his own appraiser completed the appraisal, looked at Zhuang Rui, and said: "Okay, I asked Mr. Stevenson from Macau to help me bet on this bet. I don't know Mr. Zhuang."

Should I end up on my own, or should I ask you to bet on your behalf?"

"I bet on myself!"

Zhuang Rui's words surprised everyone. They were all well-informed people. They had just known that several people came from China yesterday, including a gambling master.

It’s just that no one in the venue expected that the expert would not end the game. Instead, Zhuang Rui personally bet against Stevenson, who had won the title of gambling king in the Las Vegas Gambling Competition. This was not a tiger swatting a fly on its head and seeking death.

Well!

Chapter 398 Fullhouse

Zhuang Rui took Qin Xuanbing and calmly walked to the gambling table and sat down. The gambling table was very wide. The distance between the two ends reached five meters, which was not beyond the distance that Zhuang Rui's aura could see through. Therefore, Zhuang Rui

Rui wasn't worried at all about not being able to see through the opponent's trump card.

The white man named Stevenson also quickly walked to the other end of the gambling table and sat down. Zhuang Rui looked relaxed and joked with Qin Xuanbing beside him, why didn't the gambling king turn up the lights when he came out?

The music, etc., is too boring, isn’t it?

"Hello everyone, my name is Ji Yi. I will be hosting this bet today. Now I will tell you the rules that both parties need to pay attention to..."

Ji Yijin, the technical director of the gambling boat, is not only responsible for supervision, but also plays a guest role as a host. For him, it is still a bit nervous. Not only are there billionaires from Hong Kong, but also seniors in the gambling industry.

, speaking of it, he can really only be regarded as a junior.

The rules of Stud are very simple. If there are five consecutive straights of the same suit, the flush headed by a is the largest. If both parties have a straight flush headed by a, look at the suit of a. The order of size is spades > hearts > grass >

Square.

Next is four of a kind - four cards with the same number, plus a single card, which is greater than the number. Among the four, a is the largest, and then there is a full house - a card composed of "three of a kind" plus a "pair".

There is also this card type, which is larger than the three numbers.

If you shoot them in sequence, you will get a flush - five cards of the same suit that do not form a straight, a straight - a deck of five consecutive numbers, a trip - a card type consisting of three identical cards, with a trip headed by a.

The largest, two pairs - the five cards in the card type are composed of two sets of two cards with the same number.

In addition, there are single pairs - the card type consists of two identical cards plus three single cards, and there are scattered cards.

After introducing the rules of gambling, Ji Yi continued: "Since both parties in today's game are betting on physical objects, based on the valuation of the physical objects, both parties need to exchange chips for 30 million Hong Kong dollars each. The base bet for each round is 10

Ten thousand yuan, all the chips are lost. Thirty million Hong Kong dollars and these antiques all belong to the winner. I wonder if Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Shu have any different opinions?"

Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Didn't he agree to only bet on those antiques before? Why do he still need to spend 30 million? But after thinking about it for a while, Zhuang Rui nodded in agreement. Someone gave money, so don't give it up. He immediately took out yesterday's money.
