97 A big game (1/2)

We go into the elevator and come to the casino in the top floor of the hotel with Minister Kim. It is obvious that Minister Kim is a frequent guest here, because I know that the elevator leading to the casino is exclusive for special members, and ordinary guests are absolutely unable to enter.

It's daytime and there seems to be few guests in the casino, but all the security guards and staff are still well trained to stick to their positions. I look around and can't find Yumi. Even the beautiful women who are in charge of guest service seem to be much less than at night. Many tables are even empty.

It seems that there are very few guests here during the day.

In fact, it's not open during the day. Minister Kim laughs and says, ”But when people are addicted to gambling, it happens no matter day or night. Now I feel itchy! If I don't play cards well, I'm afraid I can't sit still!”

Winson doesn't respond, just shows a faint smile. Then he says something to Nongda Park. It's in Korean. I can't understand it.

”Minister Kim... ”Nanny shows a little unhappy from her eyebrows.

”Oh, Miss Fang,” Minister Kim laughs and whispers to her, ”I'm sorry, I don't mean to delay. In fact, cooperation documents, these two ladies have already brought. To be honest, our final bottom line has been given. It seems that our differences are still on the last five percent. But I personally have a little interesting suggestion that you might be interested in.”

”What is it?” Nanny has a cold face.

”I'm a gambler. Or you may say I have a gambler character.” Minister Kim smiles meaningfully: ”In fact, our cooperation, that 5% price, neither to you, nor to me, is only a small number. Both sides refuse to compromise just because of business principles, right?”

Nanny doesn't respond. But I can see from her eyes that she really doesn't seem to care too much about the money.

In fact, many big shots negotiate business are all the same. Often they get stuck in some very fine prices and refuse to give in to each other. In fact, for these people, the money is really nothing. But in business, this is a business principles issue. At this time, people are not fighting for the price, but the principle!

”My proposal is...” Minister Kim deliberately slows down a few steps and then ends up with Nanny. Then he whispers, ”My two friends are very good gamblers. I have been getting know them for many years, but I have never won them. As long as Mr. Chen Yang can win them, let me see their loser faces. I will be very, very happy! Five percent of the business, I'd like to take it on my own! What do you think?”

Nanny stops her step and looks surprised. I'm also so surprised to see Minister Kim. Winson bursts out laughing and shouting, ”You such a guy, don't you worry that we'll be angry to hear this in front of us?”

Minister Kim's indifferent look: ”I didn't think of hiding you. You always look confident. When you lose, you must have a wonderful expression! Chen Yang is the most extraordinary card player I have ever seen, although I don't know if he can win you. But just try him anyway, and it won't hurt me. If he fails, I'll be laughed at by you for a while at most. If I succeed, then I throw out millions, but I can see you and Mr. Park suffocating faces, which is enough for me to laugh at you in the future. It's a good business!” His eyes twinkle and he looks with an easy grace.

But I couldn't help muttering in my heart. A master's card game? Can I make it?

If I depend on the ring, I may have a lot more of confidence. The key is, today is not my lucky day. In the morning, I saw it with the measuring device. Today, my peach blossom luck is strong, but can it be used to play cards?

Gloomy is full of my face.

”Chen Yang...” Nanny looks at me. There're some expectations in her eyes.

I sigh. What I can do is just give it a try. I say nothing but just nod slightly.

Minister Kim would not play in the hall. He asks the staff to take us directly into a VIP room. There's a big round gambling table with a green suede counter. When we come in, a young woman in a shirt and tie comes in too. She looks very upright and has a professional smile on face. When we sit down, she immediately ask for some brand new cards.

Minister Kim is sitting on my left, Winson is sitting on my right, and Nongda Park, the Korean master, is sitting opposite me.

Two Korean beauties have followed in. One is sitting next to Minister Kim and the other is about sitting next to Nongda Park. But Mr. Park has a dark face and says something to her. Her expression suddenly becomes a little stiff. Winson sighs and waves to her.

Nanny sits a little behind me, frowning slightly as if she is a little upset.

”What's up?” I ask her.

”The Korean said that men are doing business, woman just goes away!” Nanny looks down upon him: ”Is gambling a formal business?”
