"He... the World Gambling King."
When He Xiang ntioned the World Gambling King, her body clearly trembled, and one could imagine the heavy price that gambling king had brought to her family over forty years ago.
"World Gambling King? Why have I never heard of this person? What era is he from?" Ye Hao asked with confusion.
Xu Shaoyuan also furrowed his eyebrows, trying to recall who this World Gambling King was. It seed like he had heard the na sowhere, but he couldn't rember the reputation of the World Gambling King at the mont.
Dongfang Xuri frowned and thought for a mont, then asked, "Sister Xiang, is the World Gambling King you ntioned from the Habs family? Called Habs Miman?"
"Hmm? Xuri, how do you know?" He Xiang looked at Dongfang Xuri in confusion, as Habs Miman hadn't appeared for many years, yet every ti he showed up, several big casinos would suffer heavy losses.
That's because his disciples started causing trouble in various major casinos. If his disciple could successfully pass his test, he would teach them more gambling skills. If they couldn't pass, their ntor-disciple relationship would end...
"I've rembered now. Wasn't Habs Miman all the rage globally forty years ago? At that ti, Gambling King He Miao had a bet with him. However, the outco of who won or lost is still widely debated. We don't know whether Habs Miman won or the Gambling King did," Dongfang Xuri said.
"To my sha, my father lost back then. It was because of that battle that he lost his desire to win in gambling. Over the years, he seldom managed anything related to gambling and focused more on making money, constantly talking about stock market indices to find more valuable potential stocks for investnt," He Xiang said, feeling a bit uncomfortable inside.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Ye Hao asked. Breaking away from gambling is a great improvent, right? Why would He Xiang bring up old stories?
"Quitting gambling is good, but that's for ordinary people. For my father, gambling was sothing he couldn't let go of for his entire life. One could say that the only unresolved issue in his life was Habs Miman, who was hailed as the forever undefeated Gambling King. Even if my father couldn't personally make Habs Miman lose, he hoped soone could dethrone him from being the World Gambling King," He Xiang looked passionately at Ye Hao, implying whether Ye Hao, with his incredible gambling skills, could help put her father's mind at ease by defeating Habs Miman.
"Why be so persistent?" Ye Hao poured He Xiang a glass of red wine and said with a smile.
"That's life. Everyone has their persistent pursuits, and my father was such a person who couldn't let go of his zeal for gambling throughout his life, even if he didn't show it openly," He Xiang said helplessly.
"Hehe, so Sister Xiang, you plan to be the one to help your father resolve this persistent issue?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.
"I'm just the go-between, and you are the one who can help my father lay this issue to rest. Hao, I want to ask you..."
Before He Xiang could finish, Ye Hao waved his hand and laughed, "Sister Xiang, forget it. I honestly never considered defeating any World Gambling King; such a title is too burdenso for ."
"Hao, don't you plan to help ?" He Xiang showed a helpless pitiful look.
Ye Hao found it amusing. He Xiang must be almost fifty by now, right? Although she still looked very beautiful and attractive, she's quite old yet able to put on such a pitiful look.
"It's not that I won't help you, but I'm just not interested in gambling," Ye Hao shrugged.
"Luckily, boss, you didn't choose to gamble, because Habs Miman declared forty years ago that if you didn't have a net worth of over ten billion, don't gamble with him. He finds it troubleso. And he would do everything to win over the challenger's entire fortune," Dongfang Xuri said.
"Isn't that a bit much? Forty years ago, announcing to the world that anyone challenging him with less than ten billion wouldn't qualify? Isn't that a bit excessive? How many people had ten billion back then?" Ye Hao asked in shock.
"Back then, my He family had a net worth of twenty billion, and it was because of that battle that many families rose, and my He family only recently regained its strength. If it weren't for that battle with Habs Miman forty years ago, I think my He family would now be the unrivaled ruler of Macau," He Xiang said sadly.
"It's all past history. I believe Sister Xiang will eventually control the He family business, surpassing Habs Miman," Ye Hao said with a smile.
"Is it that easy? It's too difficult. Habs Miman controls almost fifty percent of the Las Vegas casino revenue. Every year, the revenue in Las Vegas is around thirty billion... US Dollars. And he makes nearly nine hundred billion RMB in profits," He Xiang shook her head with a wry smile. It's not that she lacks confidence; it's just extrely hard.
"No way? A net profit of nine hundred billion from gambling in a year…" Ye Hao was also stunned. Before, he thought he was wealthy, but when he heard about Habs Miman from He Xiang, he realized his financial resources were nowhere near compared to his.
Turning to Ye Hao, he asked, "So, where does Habs Miman rank on the Forbes Rich List?"
"In the past two years, he's stayed in the top ten every year; this year he's slipped, but still ranks eleventh," He Xiang replied.
"Still such a high position?" Ye Hao asked.
"What's that, Mr. Ye? Your father-in-law is the real wealthy person," He Xiang thought of Ye Hao's father-in-law, Lin Tian, and felt even more helpless.
Lin Tian's Tianfu Group is ranked in the top five globally, and this group encompasses everything. Even international bigwigs show deference to Mr. Lin when they see him.
If Lin Tian said he wouldn't invest here, they would lose at least several hundred billion, and that's no joke.
So Lin Tian not only has financial power, but his influence internationally is also strong.
"Haha, what use is there ntioning my father-in-law? Sister Xiang, let's drink, let's drink," Ye Hao temporarily steered away from the topic of helping He Miao resolve his issue.
"Alright!" He Xiang lifted her glass helplessly and clinked it with Ye Hao's and the others'.
Then the two of them continued to chat sporadically, but Ye Hao's wide knowledge made He Xiang even more determined to maintain a close relationship with him in the future.
Lastly, He Xiang gave it one last shot with Ye Hao.
"Hao, do you really not plan to help Sister Xiang? Although the World Gambling King's skills are impressive, you're not bad either?" He Xiang asked. (To be continued.
