Chapter 136 Gambling (1)

"Jason, David, why don't you come to the table?"

It was Konrad Koch who was speaking. Many people may not know this name alone, saying that they have never heard of it, but they can separate the name and take Koch’s surname separately, which is familiar to everyone. He is Koch The eldest son and grandson of the family is the third-generation boss of the Koch family. He is in the same generation as Yang Sen or Larry Ellison in his 40s. Both Yang Cheng and David Ellison have to call him uncle.

Speaking of Koch, we have to talk about the Koch Industries Group controlled by the Koch brothers. It is the second largest private company in the United States, with annual revenue expected to reach 110 billion U.S. dollars. Recognized by Confident Magazine as one of the 50 most powerful people in the world and one of the 20 richest people in the world.

Founded in 1918, the Koch Industries Group is a typical family business. Currently, the Koch brothers are the second-generation successors. Conrad Koch is the eldest son of the Koch brothers and the eldest son of Charles Koch.

Although Koch Industries does not have a long history among global family businesses, the Koch Brothers have made great achievements in expanding to their present position entirely by relying on private capital in just a hundred years of development.

Koch Industries Group employs more than 60,000 people. Its core business is petrochemicals, but it also has businesses in various fields, including crude oil extraction, refining, trade, pipeline transportation, agriculture and animal husbandry, financial services, road asphalt, etc. It is the sixth largest power supplier in the United States and also owns the largest liquefied petroleum gas processing group in North America. Its business accounts for 25% of the total North American market.

The most speechless thing is that such a giant is not on the market, there is a sentence mmp I don't know if I should say it or not!

No one knows how much money the Koch family has. I am afraid that even the Koch brothers cannot know a specific figure. Whenever the outside world preaches that the Koch family has no money, they can use a series of acquisitions to slap their faces. Where did the money for the acquisition come from? Ghost tm don't even know!

Many people describe the Koch family in this way, saying that they are one of the most dominant families in the post-Morgan and post-Rockefeller era.

Of course, it is undeniable that there is mythology in it, which is normal. Ordinary people will automatically label things that cannot be investigated, known, and beyond the scope of understanding, such as gods and horrors.

,,,

Yang Cheng and David Ellison looked at each other with wry smiles, well, I can't avoid it tonight, so let's just spend 20 million dollars to see a show, md, what show is worth 20 million dollars, I'm really upset.

The two came to the gambling table with heavy steps as if they were holding the "soul shackles". Yang Cheng sat directly next to a blonde beauty on the right hand side of the croupier.

Now I found out after saying hello, shit, isn't this Taylor Swift?

This god-man's experience of soaking in fresh meat is comparable to that of Xiao Lizi's history of soaking in Victoria's Secret supermodels. Didn't he bring a male pet today? Miracle!

The atmosphere of the scene was tense and it was not suitable for politeness. They simply greeted Taylor on the left. Although the two had never met, they knew each other.

He turned his head and said hello to the bearded buddy on the right, but the other party just glanced at Yang Cheng sideways, as if he didn't think highly of him.

Feeling upset, she was about to trick him later, at this moment, Taylor approached intimately, and whispered in Yang Cheng's ear, "It's from Mexico."

Yang Cheng glanced at the charming Taylor Swift wearing a blue tie dress and a shawl with curly blond hair in surprise, and nodded knowingly, came from Mexico? Either a drug dealer or a warlord.

Across the big Mexican beard is Muhammad bin Naif, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, who is facing Conrad Koch, rich and powerful!

Further to the right is a middle-aged man with yellow skin and black hair, but he does not look like a Chinese, and his wretched appearance looks like a little Japanese. After that, there is Conrad Koch, and David Ellison is next to Kang. Ladd sat next to him, and Xiao Lizi sat on the far right. Together, these eight people formed the gambling game of the century.

The area of ​​the gaming table is astonishingly large, and it won't be too crowded for a few more people to sit. There is enough space on both sides of each person, which prevents the possibility of cheating by looking at each other's cards.

Zhang Jingchu sat behind Yang Cheng on the left, and behind him on the right were carts with chips and drinks and snacks. Yang Cheng ordered a cocktail and french fries. The cocktail was for refreshment, and the french fries were for supplement Energy, this situation can't be over within 5 or 6 hours tonight, he won't wrong his stomach.

Picking up a French fries with a fork, dipped in mayonnaise and before putting it in his mouth, the little Japanese spoke contemptuously across the gaming table, "People from country Z? Have you never eaten French fries? Nouveau riche, no quality."

Yang Cheng laughed angrily. Except for the Mexican bearded guy, everyone present looked at Little Japan with a look of "you are an idiot", which made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. He couldn't help but suspect that this person from country Z has a lot of background?

"Uncle Conrad, who is this grandson?" Yang Cheng pointed his chin in the direction of Little Japan and asked Conrad.

"I don't know, he claims to be the director of Sony Pictures." Conrad also looked at Little Japan with a playful expression.

Yang Cheng pretended to be panicked, and taunted with exaggerated body language, "Wow, that's amazing, the director of Sony Pictures? Who are you, Shoo Morita and Jing Shenda? They can't be from Mitsui, right?"

In the next second, his face darkened, and he sprayed directly, "Son of a bitch, I don't care whose family you are from, the relationship between you and me is settled."

He didn't like Little Japan in the first place. He was ridiculed for no reason after eating French fries.

To make a digression, many people think that the people from Z country are the most gamblers in Las Vegas, but it is not true. People from Japan and the Middle East are the most gamblers, and the Chinese are mostly concentrated in Macau or Southeast Asia.

Little Japan is also wronged. He is not the heir of a big family, but he is the director of Sony Films. It is true that he suddenly attacked Yang Cheng just now. It is purely because he just lost some money that he was in a bad mood. Seeing that Yang Cheng looks young, The one who was still very tasteless asked for junk food like French fries, and took Yang Cheng for granted as the second generation of the upstarts in country Z he had seen before. This young man has a lot of background.

After a short break, the beautiful croupier stood behind the table again, looked at them one by one from left to right with a polite smile, and enunciated clearly, "Welcome a few new guests, please allow me a few minutes to briefly introduce The rules, this game is Texas Hold'em, the deposit is 20 million US dollars, there is no upper limit on the betting amount, each raise should not be less than 50,000 US dollars, and the rake is 0.3% in each round. If you have any questions, you can interrupt me at any time. No problem, everyone, a new round will begin immediately."

After the sound fell, the croupier waited for a few seconds, saw that no one made a sound, and laughed again, "That's good, do you need to check the cards?"

"No need, let's start directly." Conrad leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, and stared at Nayef. Everyone is human, and such obvious hostility is definitely more than just gambling. Simple, this is a personal enmity, Xu is fighting over which oil and gas field, it is not uncommon.

The richest person present has no objection, what dare the others say? This kind of gambling casino does not dare to do things, otherwise once it is discovered, it will be hunted down by the whole world.

Taking advantage of the time when the dealer was preparing, Yang Cheng went back to explain some rules of Texas Hold'em to Zhang Jingchu.

People often don't understand the difference between Blackjack and Texas Hold'em. In fact, they are indeed two different games. Generally, Blackjack in casinos is played by the casino, and players and casinos gamble against each other, while Texas Hold'em The dealer of poker is played by the players present in turn. It is the players who bet against each other, and the casino takes a cut from it.

Five minutes later, the game officially began. . .
