Chapter 118 Little Gambling
Su Xiaofan checked the information before. Before today's auction, the highest auction price of ancient coins was 7.47 million.
In other words, today's auction has created a history, raising the upper limit of the auction price of ancient coins by more than 30 million yuan.
Although I dare not say that there will be no one in the future, this price is absolutely unprecedented, and with Su Xiaofan's thinking, it will be difficult for any ancient coin auction to surpass this price in the future.
"Xiaofan, you are well developed!" Zheng Dagang struggled a lot to hold back the cheers from his lips.
The previous seven ancient coins sold for 28 million yuan, and the last one sold for 38 million yuan, a record.
The eight ancient coins before and after add up to 66 million in total. Even if the commission of 4% is removed, it will be 63.36 million, far exceeding the expectations of Su Xiaofan and Zheng Dagang.
Before, the company only sold two magical artifacts and earned 20 million yuan. Brother Qian Gang was a little burned because he couldn't help at all.
But this time is different. The whole auction was negotiated between Brother Gang and the auction house. Just talking about business at the Yanjing wine table was filled with dizziness several times. Brother Gang still spent his heart and soul.
So this 20% dividend, Brother Gang can get it with peace of mind when he turns back.
Thinking that I can get more than 10 million yuan in one auction, Brother Gang can't help but feel excited, wishing that Su Xiaofan can go shopping for some antiques again, so that he can use his skills.
In the morning, there was only such a special auction of ancient coins. After the auction was over, except for the buyers who won the auction, who needed to go through the formalities, the rest of the people dispersed.
"Master, Uncle Jing, thank you this time."
Out of the hotel, Su Xiaofan and Zheng Dagang, who had been guarding outside, welcomed Uncle Jing and Aunt Mei. Jing Shizhen had too many friends, and it took a long time to say goodbye inside.
"I have to congratulate you both."
Jing Shizhen looked at the two of them with a smile, and said, "You can do it, this is a wave of fat, and it has gained a reputation. It should be easy to negotiate commissions with the auction house in the future."
Just now Jing Shizhen chatted with the senior executives of the auction house, pointing out that Zheng Dagang is his junior, and asked them to take care of him in the future. Presumably, the other party will give him some face when negotiating commissions in the future.
"Hey, Uncle Jing still has a big name, and this move raised the price."
Zheng Dagang chuckled, and today he had seen Uncle Jing's face-to-face, and almost by himself, he forcibly raised the price of the Zhining Yuanbao.
In addition, the auctioneer put the name of King Qian on the Zhining Yuanbao, which immediately drove the buyers in the venue crazy.
To participate in this special auction of ancient coins, the minimum must be a businessman with a net worth of over 100 million.
The businessmen on the Xiangjiang side are especially particular about Feng Shui. Their businessmen attach great importance to the word money. Adding a king after money makes it even more inevitable.
As for the sky-high price of 38 million, Jing Shizhen felt that it was normal.
Because in Xiangjiang, a license plate with an auspicious number can be sold for 26 million, not to mention the money king with a better meaning.
"Let's go, come home with me, and have a meal together at noon."
A commercial vehicle stopped at the hotel entrance, and it was here to pick up Uncle Jing.
Uncle Jing just made a breakthrough yesterday, and the family didn’t even have a servant, so Su Xiaofan was not kept. Today, the chef, nanny, driver, etc. are back, so he naturally wants to treat his disciples to dinner.
Uncle Jing’s family banquet looks simple, but the dishes are actually very expensive.
Not to mention shark fin soup, Uncle Jing actually took out a few California red abalones, each of which weighs three to four kilograms, and is usually eaten by multiple people, but at Uncle Jing’s place, naturally one per person.
Su Xiaofan Jingshu and Aunt Mei, eating a California red abalone is not a problem at all, but it is so full that Brother Gang eats so much that his stomach is almost bursting.
"Do you have another auction tomorrow?"
After eating, several people sat in the living room and drank tea. Aunt Mei did not ask the nanny to pour tea, but poured tea for several people herself.
"Well, there are wooden bowls of Qing tribute."
Su Xiaofan nodded and said, "Master, you don't need to go over this one, just take as many pictures as you can."
The auction of ancient spring treasures has far exceeded the expectations of Su Xiaofan and Zheng Dagang. Even if the price of the wooden bowl is a little lower, both of them can accept it.
Besides, Su Xiaofan didn't plan to participate in the auction tomorrow, Brother Gang still had to go to Ao Island to meet the world, Su Xiaofan still wanted to go home early, he was really worried that Tiger Cat would cause some trouble.
"Do you want to leave Xiangjiang?" Jing Shizhen looked at Su Xiaofan, "It's a rare time to come out, don't you want to stay for a few more days?"
"Master, Duobao is still at home." Su Xiaofan smiled wryly, now raising a pet is like raising a child.
No, raising a tiger cat is more troublesome than raising a child. The child can be left to others to take care of for a few days, but the tiger cat can't. Except for Su Xiaofan, no one else can take care of it.
"That's true, then you all go back first."
Jing Shizhen nodded, and said: "The money from the auction house may not be sent to you so quickly. If you need money, tell Master."
Jing Shizhen has worked so hard to make money these years. In fact, the big reason is that he wants to buy an inner alchemy of an extraordinary creature. Jing Shizhen bid a billion yuan more than ten years ago, but he couldn't get it.
According to Jing Shizhen's thinking, if one billion is not enough, it will be two billion. After all, some people will be tempted by money.
However, before he bid again, he got an inner alchemy, so now Jing Shizhen's desire to make money is not so strong.
"Let's go to Ao Island to stay for a day or two, and then return to Luochuan."
In front of the master, Su Xiaofan has nothing to hide. For young people, it is normal for them to learn more.
"Well, let's go play."
Jing Shizhen said: "Small bets are fun, but big bets are losers. You should control the degree of this, and don't play too much."
"Especially you, don't overdo it, don't cause any trouble." Jing Shizhen stared at Su Xiaofan and explained again.
"I haven't gone yet, how can I go too far?"
Su Xiaofan is a little puzzled, saying that he usually doesn't even play mahjong for one or two yuan, so if he wants to explain it, he should explain it to Brother Gang.
"Do you want me to say hi to you and arrange a hotel for you?"
Uncle Jing said: "I have a little friendship with Mr. He over there. Although he is gone, the daughter who talks to him is the same."
"No, Uncle Jing, we won't go to that casino."
Brother Gang shook his head, and said confidently: "Let's go to Xindao, where there are many hotels."
"Remember, it's fun, don't get on top."
Jing Shizhen explained again, after the meal, he asked the driver to take the two of them back to the hotel.
After discussing with Zheng Dagang, Su Xiaofan and Zheng Dagang found that they were fine in Xiangjiang, so they simply checked out of the room, took a taxi to the pier, and bought a boat ticket to Ao Island.
More than an hour later, the two brothers each pushed a suitcase and arrived at Ao Island.
"Where to?"
Su Xiaofan drove ducks to the shelves, but was fooled by Brother Gang, so naturally Brother Gang should lead the team.
"I've made all the arrangements, let's go!"
Brother Gang has never been to O Island, but he should have done a lot of strategy before. After leaving the pier, he took a taxi directly to Taipa Island.
"The famous Gambler He is on the main island of Ao Island. We are here on Xin Island. It is said that it was reclaimed from the sea."
Standing in front of a magnificent hotel, Brother Gang introduced to Su Xiaofan: "Many people come to Xindao now because of the good facilities and convenience. The main island is too crowded."
Su Xiaofan doesn't care where he goes to play, he just came to broaden his horizons, and he has no interest in gambling.
"This is a capitalist society. Xiangjiang is too broken, and Ao Island is a gold-selling cave."
Brother Gang stood in front of the hotel with an intoxicated expression on his face, "Xiaofan, take some photos for me, and I'll send them to Moments to show to the grandchildren at home!"
"good."
Su Xiaofan had no choice but to take a 360-degree photo of Brother Gang with his mobile phone, especially according to Brother Gang's instructions, and included the name of the hotel.
After taking the photo, Su Xiaofan pointed to the two boxes next to him and said, "Brother Gang, can you check in now? It's so troublesome for us to push the boxes."
Brother Gang pushed the suitcases and walked into the hotel, came to the luggage storage place, and stored both suitcases inside.
"Let's go, let's go play for a while." Looking at the bustling crowd and the resplendent and resplendent lobby, Brother Gang was inexplicably excited.
"Huh? There's something wrong with this place."
Su Xiaofan's six senses are so sensitive, he can feel it as soon as he enters the hotel. The oxygen in this hotel seems to be a bit too much, and the faint smell of perfume is also a bit irritating to people's nerves.
Looking at the people around again, few of them looked very tired, and all of them looked energetic.
"These casinos really do everything they can."
After thinking about it for a while, Su Xiaofan realized that the casino must have used some kind of equipment to pressurize and oxygenate the hotel.
In the case of sufficient oxygen, it is generally difficult for people to feel tired and sleepy, and the hotel is pursuing this effect.
Su Xiaofan had heard before that someone had gambled on Ao Island for several days and nights. Combined with the current situation he felt, it was reasonable to not sleep for several days and nights with such sufficient oxygen.
However, this kind of thing is not harmful to the human body. If you rest on time, it will be beneficial to people. Su Xiaofan doesn't bother to talk about it.
Following Zheng Dagang, the two entered the casino, Zheng Dagang looked left and right for a while, and brought Su Xiaofan to a window.
"Xiaofan, take your pass, let's become a member."
Zheng Dagang took out his pass, and then took out a large stack of Hong Kong dollars from his bag, and said: "Exchange for 400,000 chips, twenty for 10,000, forty for 5,000..."
"Brother Gang, what are you doing?"
Su Xiaofan said with some reluctance: "Uncle Jing said, just come and play. Did you start playing before?"
"Also, where did you get so much cash?" Although there are 1,000 Hong Kong dollars a piece, 400,000 is not a small amount, and it looks like a thick stack.
"I went out yesterday to find the tour guide to change it for me."
Zheng Dagang said confidently: "Money is like bullets, if you are not prepared, how can you fight?"
"Okay, Brother Gang, as long as you are happy, but remember Uncle Jing's words, don't get on your head."
Su Xiaofan laughed wryly when he heard the words, he really didn't realize before that Brother Gang's gambling nature is so big.
"Hey, let me tell you, Xiaofan, you don't have any hobbies, you just like to gamble a little, but when you are at home, you are often run over by that guy Lao Qi."
Brother Gang mentioned Lao Qi, whom Su Xiaofan also knew. He was the owner of an antique shop in Luochuan Antique Market.
"Old Qina's grandson has been to O Island several times, bragging all day long about how he is doing here."
Brother Gang said with a displeased face: "It was only later that I found out that the grandson is an individual visitor and has never even been in the VIP room. Let's go to the VIP room today and see if I don't spit on him when I go back."
According to Brother Gang, Lao Qi is not bad, but his mouth is a bit broken. When playing mahjong together, he often said that Brother Gang and the others are local leopards, and they should experience it in Australia.
It’s fine once or twice, but Lao Qi couldn’t stand to use Ao Island to stimulate people all day long. Brother Gang vowed that he would definitely come to Ao Island to gamble in his life.
Since then, Brother Gang has been wandering around in various forums, knowing all these things about casinos and hotels in O Island, and it really came in handy this time.
"Okay, Brother Gang, listen to you."
After hearing Brother Gang's words, Su Xiaofan suddenly didn't worry about Brother Gang's superiority at all.
The "gamble" of 200,000 chips per person, Su Xiaofan felt that Brother Gang was simply sober in the world, otherwise, there was something wrong with the word "gamble".
The chips in the casino are slightly larger than the coins they just sold out today, and the thickness is also thicker, which is very textured in the hand.
One person has a stack of 200,000 chips in his hand, Su Xiaofan put most of the chips in his pocket, only took five or six chips in his hand, and started wandering behind Brother Gang.
This casino is on the first floor of the hotel and covers a large area.
However, according to the gameplay, the area is also divided. Some places are full of slot machines, and some places are card tables and dice players. There are not many people.
Brother Gang looked like an old driver, and led Su Xiaofan almost around the entire casino, plus stop-and-go, this lap took about an hour to pass.
"Brother Gang, what exactly do you want to play?"
Su Xiaofan couldn't bear it anymore, after this round, in fact, this casino is totally defenseless for him.
For example, when playing dice, Su Xiaofan looked at it with his spiritual sense, and the dice cup couldn't stop the detection of his spiritual sense at all, and the points in it could be seen clearly.
As for the card table, the same is true, but too many cards are stacked together densely, Su Xiaofan is too lazy to look at it, but as long as he pays attention, he will definitely be able to see what cards are dealt behind.
After seeing all this, Su Xiaofan lost interest on the contrary, and at the same time he also understood what Uncle Jing said, why he told himself not to go too far.
To put it bluntly, as long as Su Xiaofan is willing and the casino dares to accept his bets, Su Xiaofan can win any casino and go bankrupt.
This money comes much faster than opening an antique shop, but the windfall is not rich, and it will cause trouble. Su Xiaofan is just playing for fun at most, and will not touch the bottom line of the casino.
"Let's go, let's go to the VIP room!" Brother Gang felt that he had almost figured it out, and it was time for him to kill the Quartet.
It doesn’t matter to Su Xiaofan anyway, even if he closes his eyes, he can’t lose money here, because he can cheat all the games.
It’s like the roulette betting method, Su Xiaofan can use his spiritual sense to control the ball, and he can land in as many times as he wants, as long as he wants, he can pick up money everywhere without bending down.
The difference between the VIP room and the outside lobby is actually not that big. It is not like many people think that you must have a lot of money to get in.
The VIP room of this casino is surrounded by a place in the lobby. There are much fewer tables than outside, but there are still various ways to play slot machines and dice.
Su Xiaofan glanced over and knew the difference between the VIP room and the outside. It was nothing more than a matter of bet size.
Many of the gambling tables outside have caps, that is, the maximum amount of bets is limited, some are two thousand, and some are three to five thousand.
The betting limit in the VIP room is much higher. It is not uncommon to bet hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands at a time, and it is not uncommon to win or lose tens of millions in a day.
"Brother Gang, what do you want to play?"
After Su Xiaofan came in, he found that there were not many people playing in the VIP room, and there were only a few people on a few gambling tables, but some people who did not gamble stood beside them very excited, and they were bragging and sidelining, Su Xiaofan also played Don't understand what they are doing.
"That's baccarat, it's purely a game of luck, without any technical content."
Zheng Dagang said confidently: "Let's go play Black Jack, the kind played in the movie. As long as you have good skills, you can win hundreds of thousands in minutes."
"I do whatever I want."
Su Xiaofan doesn't care, but he doesn't know where Brother Gang's confidence comes from. If the casino can let you win hundreds of thousands in a minute, it would have closed down a long time ago.
Blackjack is actually blackjack, the rules are very simple.
Four or eight decks of cards, remove the big and small kings, and then JOK is counted as ten points, and A can be counted as eleven points. An ace, that is blackjack, the dealer pays twice.
If there is no blackjack, the cards will accumulate, blackjack is the largest, and if it exceeds, it will burst.
For example, if you get a J, it counts as 10 points, and you get another 2, which adds up to 12 points. If you ask for another one, which is a 10, then the accumulated 22 points will explode.
The dealer must ask for a card below 16 points, and the player is free to choose whether to choose it or not. From this point of view, it is still somewhat technical.
"Let's go, go sit at that table, bro, I'm wearing red underwear today, I'm sure I'll win."
Zheng Dagang looked around after entering, and saw a blackjack card table, he led Su Xiaofan over there.
There is a monitor on this gaming table, Su Xiaofan looked at it, it is the rule description, the minimum bet is 10,000 chips, and the maximum is 3 million chips.
"Brother Gang, the minimum is ten thousand."
After the two sat down, they saw that Brother Gang was about to push out a chip of 5,000, so Su Xiaofan quickly reminded him.
"Fuck, then we have less money to withdraw, it's not enough to lose twenty hands."
Hearing what Su Xiaofan said, Brother Gang couldn't help but shiver. He and Su Xiaofan each have 200,000 yuan, and at most they can only lose 20 games in a row.
"Brother Gang, with your mentality, it's better not to gamble."
Su Xiaofan shook his head speechlessly, just now he was full of confidence to win, but now he thinks it is not enough to lose, it is strange that this kind of mentality can win money.
It’s Monday, everyone, let’s drop a recommendation ticket!
