If the greasy-headed guy had answered directly and decisively, Zhang Xin might have considered it, because he was not sure what cards the other party had. If he really got three aces, if he continued to follow, he might lose all the money he had won before.
But after the little oily-head hesitated like this, Zhang Xin immediately felt at ease, because in the rules of Fried Golden Flower, three A's are the biggest cards. If he really got it, it would be a sure win. He would not be like the little oily-head, who was nervous and sweating profusely, and his tongue was trembling when he spoke.
In this situation, it is obvious that although the opponent also has a good hand, the cards are absolutely standard, so he is just like himself, not daring to open the cards, but reluctant to give up, so he keeps hesitating to raise the bet.
After quickly analyzing several waves, Zhang Xin made several decisions in just over ten seconds.
The first decision is to think that the opponent's cards are definitely not the best three A's, so this time I must follow through to the end!
The second decision was to calculate the stakes for this round and decide to give it his all. After winning, he would retire and directly buy a house with full payment and get married!
The third decision made him most nervous, because he knew how much money he had, and looked at the appearance of the greasy-haired guy. He was so generous even after losing for several days, so he must have some strength. So he thought that if he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of betting, he could consider borrowing some money from the gambling house first, and then pay it back after he won. It would not exceed one day, there was no interest, and it was a guaranteed profit!
After analyzing everything and thinking of a way out, Zhang Xin became tough. Seeing that he had no cash left, he immediately explained his idea of borrowing money to the casino manager.
This is a common business in the casino. In addition, Zhang Xin is the "director" of the leather factory, so the casino manager agreed very readily. After signing and fingerprinting the IOU, 100,000 yuan in cash was placed in front of him.
The bets continued, and the cash on the table piled up higher and higher. The greasy-haired guy seemed to be ready to take action, with no turning back. After emptying the cash in his wallet, he signed a contract with the gambling house.
The two of them went back and forth like this, and all the 100,000 yuan was put into the mortgage. The initiative returned to Zhang Xin, and he borrowed another 200,000 yuan without hesitation.
When the cash was placed in front of him, Zhang Xin suddenly calmed down, vaguely feeling that something was not right. Under the dim light, he could vaguely see a smile that could not be concealed on the greasy-haired boy's nervous face. But the situation was already like this, and it was definitely impossible to get away with it. So he looked at the cash in front of him, took out a hundred thousand to bet, and decisively chose to open the cards!
After showing his three Ks, everyone looked at the slick guy. However, his tense expression relaxed instantly. He picked up the three hole cards and slammed them on the table. Three Aces suddenly appeared!
When Zhang Xin saw the three A's, his eyes went dark and his head started buzzing.
In an instant, he understood everything. Although he couldn't say anything directly, looking at the smiles on the faces of the little greasy-head and the gambling house manager, some things were self-evident.
The gambling house owner took the two IOUs totaling three hundred thousand yuan, approached, and patted Zhang Xin on the shoulder. "Victory and defeat are common in the military, and even more so at the gambling table. You hit a snag today, and your luck is bad. Maybe you'll be the winner tomorrow."
There's still 100,000 left, don't you? Take it, there's still a chance to make a comeback!"
The greasy-haired guy also added fuel to the fire and laughed, "What luck! I've been losing for a few days now, but finally my luck has turned. Come on, little brother? I can play a few more games with you!"
If it were most gamblers, having lost to this extent, they would definitely choose to fight to the death to see if there would be a turnaround in the final result.
But Zhang Xin was still sensible and saw through the tricks and ways of doing things. He knew that if he continued to play, no matter how big the cards he got, he would never be able to beat his opponent. The 100,000 yuan would eventually return to the gambling house owner. So he chose to pay it back directly, took back the 100,000 yuan IOU, and stood up and left with a sallow face...
On the way back, Zhang Xin slapped himself as he walked, one slap on the left and one on the right in rhythm with his steps. By the time he arrived at the leather factory, both of his cheeks were red and swollen.
Sitting in the office, he was depressed for the whole day, without drinking water, eating or going out. His mind was a mess, and regret, self-blame, annoyance, anger and other emotions filled his mind.
In addition to feeling sad about the money he lost, he also had to face another more serious issue, which was how to return the remaining money.
Gambling houses are not other places. They provide places and gambling equipment for gamblers to play. The tea fees collected from them are nothing at all. The real profit comes from the high interest generated by loans.
Zhang Xin knew that if he delayed for one more day, the interest would continue to rise, and it might even exceed the principal or even double.
He borrowed a total of 300,000 yuan, and paid back 100,000 yuan on the spot in the gambling house. He still had 100,000 yuan in his hand. He had no way to get the remaining 100,000 yuan. In the past few years at the leather factory, he spent his money as he earned it and basically did not save any money. It was simply impossible for him to come up with 100,000 yuan in one go.
After thinking for a long time, in order to prevent the matter from getting bigger and bigger, he came up with an unwise solution and sold a batch of newly produced goods in the leather factory warehouse at a low price.
Under normal circumstances, the batch of goods would be worth two hundred thousand or even more, but in order to get the money as soon as possible, Zhang Xin finally sold it to the black market boss at an ultra-low price of one hundred and twenty thousand.
After getting the money, he went to pay off his gambling debts that night.
At this point, although the money had been repaid, the leather factory's loopholes had been exposed. Not only would he be unable to deliver to the customer on time, but once Fan Tian returned and learned about this, he would definitely be completely disappointed in him. By then, not only would he not be able to rely on his sister and brother-in-law to help him buy a house and get married, but he wouldn't even be able to continue working at the leather factory.
For this matter, Zhang Xin ran around day and night for several days. Finally, he heard about You Chengdao's deeds in the past through others and knew that he had many channels. So he asked for his phone number and contacted him with a try-it attitude.
Later, a phone call yielded no results, and he had no other options but to try his luck and come to Lujiu City.
In fact, Zhang Xin didn't know You Chengdao's exact home address at all. He only knew that he lived in the old city area, so he went door to door asking for information. He ran for five or six hours from the morning, passing countless houses, and finally he finally found the real owner...
