Chapter 661 A Strong Opponent
The brother and sister walked out of the tea restaurant side by side.
Several thugs in suits were waiting at the door.
“Let’s go for a walk together?”
He Hongtu turned around and asked.
He Yihui nodded silently.
The brother and sister, who had not seen each other for a long time, walked along this old street.
“You all heard it.”
He Hongtu said softly.
He Yihui was sitting at the next table just now. The two tables were very close to each other. It was not difficult to hear the negotiation between him and Jiang Chen.
He Yihui didn't deny it and said "Yeah".
"Don't blame other people. I am in charge of the photo, so if you want to blame, blame me."
He Hongtu took the initiative to confess.
“It was me who discredited the family.”
He Yihui understands justice well.
He Hongtu laughed and turned his head, "This is not your character."
He Yihui turned her head and looked at her elder brother, "What is my character?"
He Hongtu looked forward, and chuckled as he walked: "According to your previous personality, shouldn't you grit your teeth and ask me for an explanation? You might even take this opportunity to blackmail me."
"When did you say that before?"
He Hongtu was slightly startled, then looked nostalgic, "It was indeed a long, long time ago."
To know.
He and this sister are nearly twenty years apart. When the other was still a child, he was already an adult.
"When dad was busy, he liked to leave you to me, but now I am estranged from my brother."
He Yihui did not deny it.
It would be too hypocritical to deny it at this time.
Forget about a wealthy family like theirs, let’s just talk about ordinary people’s families. When we were young, our brothers and sisters would not distinguish between you and me. As time goes by, they will gradually drift apart.
A family in childhood often becomes "relatives" when they grow up.
“You really don’t blame me, brother?”
He Yihui shook her head again and asked: “Brother, aunt really agrees with you doing this?”
“ You mean the negotiation with Jiang Chen?”
He Hongtu said with a straight face: "It's not that we agree or disagree, but that we have no choice at all. Rather than throwing away the entire gambling card, it is better to preserve part of it, what do you think?"
Three gambling cards, Only half can be left now, maybe not even half at all.
Since then, He's vitality may have been seriously damaged.
He Yihui remained silent,
“After losing the first gambling card, criticism arose from the outside world, and many people were waiting to see our jokes, but I think maybe this will have a positive impact on us. For He, it is actually not a bad thing."
He Hongtu said without hesitation: "Zeng Guofan once said that you can benefit from sharing, but not from the masses. It was my father's time, and everyone knew that the gambling industry in Haojiang was controlled by our He family. If it was my father's time, there would be no problem, but unfortunately it is not the case now."
"Maybe you also know, whatever. After Dad's death, many of the previous relationships and friendships no longer exist. In addition, the gambling industry is not a glorious industry in China. It is also hugely profitable, so naturally it will be filled with a lot of fights and competitions. "
"Every tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. In other words, if you shoot the first bird, whenever you think of gambling, you will subconsciously think of our He family. This is actually a very dangerous thing. ”
He Hongtu paused.
"So, it is better to take this opportunity to let our He family slowly fade away from the public eye."
He Yihui listened quietly and silently.
Of course she understands what it means.
It’s just that this eldest brother, who is almost a generation older than her, rarely talks in such long words, and in her impression, he rarely talks about these things.
"It sounds like an excuse."
He Yihui said heartbrokenly.
He Hongtu smiled and turned around and said: "Of course. You can think so. Even if you don't want to, losing the gambling card is a foregone conclusion, but at least it will be a good thing for you, right?"< br>
He Hongtu said with a smile: "You, brother, I won't talk about you, let's talk about your sister Junru. Her career focus is not on Haojiang. How can she establish a good relationship with people like Jiang Chen and Lan Peizhi? The relationship will definitely be beneficial to her future career development.”
He Yihui didn’t take over.
This topic will become more sensitive if we continue talking about it.
“Don’t do things that are just for profit, and don’t go to the disputed areas. After dad left, many people stared at us. This time so many people came after hearing the news, it is an obvious sign.”
He Hongtu also stopped at the right time and said warmly: "We should also unite some external forces."
He Yihui said nothing and looked strangely at the eldest brother who used to be "not doing his job properly".
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
He Hongtu asked in confusion.
"How do you say that word?" He Yihui thought: "A great wisdom is like a fool?"
He Hongtu laughed.
Just right.
The brother and sister walked to the end of the old street.
A few thugs in suits followed silently.
The vehicle has been parked on the roadside.
“Get in the car.”
————
After leaving the tea restaurant, Jiang Chen found Lan Peizhi without stopping and told all about the negotiations with He Hongtu. .
“No simple person in the He family has the courage to make such a choice.”
Jiang Chen felt this.
“After all, he is the eldest son of a gambling king. Do you really think he can only write and paint?”
“He can also paint?”
Jiang Chen was surprised.
"What do you think?" Lan Peizhi asked.
Jiang Chen looked at her: "Is there any reason to refuse?"
"Has the application been approved?"
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, "You haven't given me a reply yet."
This reply is naturally related to the previous invitation to Lan Peizhi to join the Tiansend Society.
“Haven’t you decided yet?”
“If I can get the second gambling card, I will join.”
Lampe Zhi did not hesitate any more.
“Seriously?”
Jiang Chen’s tone was solemn.
Lampei nodded.
"Okay, it's a deal."
Jiang Chen looked confident.
Same.
Now that He has joined the team and won the second gambling card, it seems to be a success.
“It’s best not to take it lightly.”
Lan Peizhi reminded: “Song Chaoge must have known about the scandal between you and the He family’s daughter, and he must have guessed that the He family would come to you. Cooperation, if he really wants to win the gambling card, he will definitely make more preparations."
Leaving aside other aspects, if we just talk about financial strength, the other party is really not an opponent.
Of course.
Jiang Chen would not act so "arrogant".
"He is willing to pay 40 billion. How can he still compete for it in total? The first bid was 51 billion, but he gave up."
"No one will compete with He on the third gambling card, so the second gambling card is the last chance. If you can cooperate with He, can't he find someone to 'invest'?"
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
For people like Song Chaoge, it is really easy to find money. You don’t even need to ask for it. Many people come to you with money, and it depends on whether he is willing to ask for it.
“Which institutions will inject capital into Song Chaoge?”
Ten billions is not a small amount, and not everyone can afford it.
Jiang Chen is indeed curious about the financial backers behind Song Chaoge, or more precisely, who are the ATM machines.
“Quite a few.”
Lampeizhi said briefly: “For example, the Hippo Group.”
The Hippo Group?
Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed.
In China.
Hippo Group can be said to be famous.
Single-handedly pushing society into the era of online shopping and mobile payments, it is a giant company with a market value of over one trillion.
Trillions!
What a strong opponent.
