126 episodes. You don’t have to.
After the winning horse awards ceremony,
Yang A-gwan and Du Mun-jeong served dinner.
It was a reward for defeating the Great King.
A luxurious party with various orchestras and operas, prepared with seafood and seafood, by renting an entire banquet hall from the hotel.
It was made exclusively for our group.
“Have a drink, sir.”
Yang Ah-gwan poured Mao Tai-ju to me and showed my affection for him over and over again.
He said that there has never been a day as exhilarating as today.
“Your talent has been a great help to us. Hani, if you have anything you want, please let me know. If you need help in business, I will do my best to help.”
“Thank you, but I don’t need help right away. Making such a good relationship with the two of you is a great gift for me.”
“Hahaha, you’re right. But what kind of business are you in Australia?”
“I’m in the mining industry.”
“Huh, the mining industry? You don’t think your business is normal. What kind of mine is it?”
“It’s embarrassing, but we haven’t started properly yet. We’re exploring.”
“It’s a pity. I’d be able to link any mineral to my Chinese company.”
“They also have existing business partners, would you mind?”
“Business partners change depending on the situation. No. As long as you have the power to lead the situation, there is no problem.”
I thought it was an opportunity and asked Yang Kwan.
“Excuse me, but is there a mining company you are close with? The mining industry has a lot of lobbying, so you should know in advance so as not to be a burden.”
“I think young people are also cautious. Don’t worry about that. I can influence my company, but I do not receive direct lobbying or rebates from mining companies. Unfortunately, in mainland China, I am still recognized as a boss of trust rather than a film producer. It’s a situation where I can’t come out in front.”
It has nothing to do with Foresque Metal.
If so, there was a high possibility that Forescue Metal did not even know that there was a Yangtze tube behind Baosantz Metal.
“Then I’ll ask for help later, regardless.”
“Do that. If you deal with start-ups, even raw materials, it will not be easy to penetrate customers.”
“Let’s talk about business between the two of us and have a drink each.”
Two Moon-jeong came and filled the glass.
“Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to hold my head up in front of people today.”
“No. You would have done well without me.”
“No, I guess today’s Myeongwang was the second. It’s all thanks to you. Come on, let’s have another drink.”
It’s very gilded.
I took his glass, took a one-shot, and spit out Chuimsae.
“Wow, that’s great. It’s awesome.”
“Hahaha, one bottle is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, so eat a lot. I’ll give you another bottle when I go.”
500,000 Hong Kong dollars is almost 50 million won, right?
That’s crazy, it’s a 50 million won drink.
“The two bosses, please accept my drink. Wouldn’t it be better to share a good drink?”
“A young man knows the capital. Ha ha ha.”
Du Mun-jeong continued talking while drinking.
“But, did you walk three-way in today’s race?”
“No. I was lucky that day, so that’s how I bet.”
“Then why didn’t you walk today?”
“I walked… I walked.”
How could a sparrow pass the mill?
I played a light game.
“How did you walk?”
“I bet the Hellmaster and the Great King in a double-win ceremony, haha.”
“Huh, so you mean you won today?”
“I made pocket money. It’s not surprising.”
“Isn’t the win rate better than money? It’s the first time I’ve seen someone with a high win rate like you in my life.”
“It’s overrated. Hahaha.”
Seeing me smiling shyly, this time Yang A-Kwan opened his mouth.
“Sir, do you know how to gamble besides horse racing?”
“I’m not very good at it. I just enjoy it in moderation.”
Why is Gamble asking?
Are you trying to play mahjong here?
“Actually, sports betting on horse racing and gamble are different, so not everyone can be good at everything.
“Yes, I’ve heard of him. He started out as a gambler and founded the Royal Crown group.”
“That’s right, and the founding member, Chairman of Bearfax, is also known to be an outstanding gambler. Let me ask you a favor.”
“Please?”
“Can you contact him and introduce him to a professional gambler? I hope he is as good as possible.”
“Is there anything else going on with the Macao clan?”
“That’s it. Bang Won-ryang laid a plate in case he lost the race.”
“Can’t we just get over it?”
After emptying the glass, Yang A-gwan answered by putting it down.
“Once a bastard has put his pride in himself, he’s tried again. If he wins here, he won’t be able to show his arrogant appearance for a few years, even because of his face.”
“……”
“That’s gamble.”
“That’s right. It’s a poker competition in a Macau casino. In three weeks there’s going to be a private poker tournament for VVIPs, and we need a gambler who can win there.”
A VVIP….
What kind of people want to gather
“If it’s a VVIP, it’s really great people, right?”
“I mean. Gambling-loving people from all over Asia, from the upper classes, will gather.”
It seemed to mean that the whole of Asia includes not only Northeast Asia to which Korea belongs, but also Southeast Asia and Central Asia.
So, my curiosity was piqued.
If All Mining goes overseas beyond Australia in the future, there was nothing bad about being in touch with them.
Resources are everywhere in the earth.
“Can I represent Hong Kong even if I am not a Hong Konger?”
“Of course. There is no problem as long as you are invited as a representative like Hellmaster.”
“Then will you give me a chance?”
“Teacher? Did you change your mind when you said that you just enjoyed it?”
“I heard that there is a saying in the Analects of Mencius.”
“……?”
“Geniuses can’t beat those who work hard, and those who work hard can’t beat those who enjoy. That’s what I meant. Hahaha.”
“Uh-huh, I think that’s a sensible answer.”
Yang A-Kwan smiled all at once and nodded, looking back at the attendant standing behind him.
It looked like a gesture indicating something.
“But again, I have to prove your talent this time to be able to believe it, is that okay?”
“Yes, that’s right. How can I prove my skills?”
“Wait a minute. I’ll be back soon.”
5 minutes have passed
The attendants of Yang-A-Kwan brought a middle-aged man in a suit.
No, even if it was dragged, it showed a sense of coercion.
But he is a person with a face.
‘I see that person here again… Is this what you call a relationship?’
The person who made me turn around for the first time when I came to Australia.
It was the Chinese gambler who got mad at me after drinking Jinho and Hyunjeong at The Stars Casino.
Judging from his behavior, it seems he got caught while playing polite at a private gambling house in Hong Kong.
“Try to beat this friend here.”
I replied with a smile to Yang’s words.
“You don’t have to.”
“……?”
“Isn’t that right? Did you say your name is Liaoshin?”
He recognized me late and opened his mouth.
“Everyone, why are you here…”
***
Helicopter back to Macau.
Tsumei asked Bang Wenliang.
“Are you okay with the room? And if we lose, of course, some of the factions that support us will turn there.”
“Do you think I’ll lose in Macau?”
“……”
At Bang Won-ryang’s eerie gaze, Tsumei closed her mouth.
“Tsuk, don’t worry. We’ve invited some of the world’s top-class professional gamblers.”
“…Who are you?”
“Tell me who it is? Do you know?”
“You can tell me who you are.”
“Now retired, but the best gambler I know.”
“Are you going to send a retired person to represent you?”
Bang Won-ryang sighed and said to her with a questionable expression.
“If there is no retirement age, why would a gambler retire?”
“……”
“It’s because there were no rivals. No, even the casino put him on the blacklist and didn’t accept him. It wasn’t counting or fraud, it was just made with gamble skills.”
“Do you think you have great skills?”
“Have you even heard of the world’s top 3 gamblers?”
“Yeah, I’m from Macau too. Even if you put all of that money to spend tens of millions of dollars a night, as well as great gambler skills and influence, the three positions have not yet been replaced by other gamblers. Except for Adnan Khashoggi of Saudi Arabia. The other two are dead.”
“Yeah, one of them, Gary Parker from Australia. The gambler he raised as a disciple while he was alive was the one I invited.”
Bang Won-ryang continued speaking while looking at the panoramic view of Cotai from under the helicopter.
“A wolf never loses its prey. He’ll be able to bite the cub’s neck, nursery.”
***
Macau Taipa International Airport.
Airplanes here were carrying a lot of tourists even today.
And it was no exaggeration to say that most of these tourists visit casinos.
Perhaps because of that, the airport was located right next to Cotai, a casino-dense area, so it was easy to access.
“Well, this fresh air. I don’t know how much.”
As he took out his sunglasses and put them on, David spit out his emotions.
But Lana was blunt.
“What’s refreshing is refreshing. Switzerland is much better.”
“I like Switzerland, but isn’t there something empty there?”
“Not at all.”
“Look, this is why the old man told me to take you. How can I not feel the emptiness after living in that quiet place for ten years? It’s the first time I’ve been to a place worse than Tasmania.”
“Then why do you live in Tasmania when you like this kind of crowd?”
“There are too many challengers.”
“……?”
At Lana’s expression on what you mean, David grinned and raised a thumb.
“Even after seeing this, I’m from Australia.”
“…In a word, there were too many challengers because they were champions?”
“Yeah, Australian gamblers are proud of their skills, so I don’t know how aggressive they are to try and beat me. The number of people following me has decreased since I entered Tasmania.”
“Would you mind?”
Lana shook her head and walked forward.
“Go slow. If you go first, you won’t know who the people are waiting for.”
“Is it possible that someone came from over there? I told you not to.”
“Even if you don’t do it, they’re human beings who do something. How much do they take the protocol because of his face?”
“Ugh……”
David smiled as he put his arm around her shoulder, sighing.
“Just have fun. I know you don’t like being in the spotlight, but you have no choice but to be invited.”
“I don’t know why Grandpa told me to follow you.”
“Why don’t you know that? It’s not like you’re going to marry your granddaughter. Do you think it’s easy to find a guy as cool as me in a village like that?”
“I told you before? I’m single. We don’t know anything about dating, but we’re not married. Be sure to know that.”
“You know. That’s why the old man chose me.”
“What nonsense…”
It was then that he dismissed his words as nonsense.
Dozens of people in black suits approached and surrounded them as if to guard them.
Then, a middle-aged man with a harsh impression appeared and bowed his head briefly.
“Welcome, I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Ah, you’ve worked hard. Are you from the organizers?”
“Yes, Mr. Wolf. We will take you safely to the hotel.”
