The dealer picked it up and placed it in the center.
Mr. Suzuki glanced at it, then picked up one of his own cards and revealed it.
The King of Hearts.
A bit higher than Liang Chen’s.
For now, Liang Chen was at a disadvantage.
Everyone standing behind Mr. Suzuki was visibly excited.
Jing Haohao, however, was gripping her hands tightly, her heart pounding as if it might leap out of her chest at any moment.
This was just the beginning, and yet Liang Chen had already placed such a large bet. What would happen if he continued to play this way with Mr. Suzuki?
As Jing Haohao’s mind was running wild with these thoughts, the disadvantaged Liang Chen, once again, calmly and composedly spoke up, seemingly not caring about his current situation. He continued, “Mr. Suzuki, Jiangshan Group has opened up many new industries in the past two years, including e-commerce and electronic products, and has already established its own brand. The market estimate value is no less than $250 billion. Now, I am placing all of these brands on the line. If I lose, these brands will be renamed after the Suzuki Family and the existing market will completely belong to Mr. Suzuki.”
As Liang Chen spoke, the man in charge of the contract was quickly typing on the keyboard.
When Liang Chen finished speaking, the printer began to hum, and the man handed the contract to Liang Chen to review.
Liang Chen quickly skimmed it and then picked up a pen.
“Liang Chen…” Jing Haohao, standing nearby, reached out and grabbed his arm.
Liang Chen looked up at Jing Haohao, seeing deep worry in the woman’s eyes.
Could he interpret this as her worrying about him in this moment?
A hint of joy surfaced in Liang Chen’s heart. He smiled gently at Jing Haohao, giving her a reassuring look and, without hesitation, he signed his name on the paper.
Thus, the new brands established by Jiangshan Group in recent years were made into chips and once again fell into the dealer’s hands.
Liang Chen put down the pen in his hand, looked at Mr. Suzuki across from him, and asked, “Mr. Suzuki, are you raising the bet? If not, I will flip the card.”
As he said this, Liang Chen was about to flip the second card.
“Wait.” Mr. Suzuki spoke up, interrupting Liang Chen’s action. He looked into Liang Chen’s eyes and said, “I’ll match. If Mr. Liang is willing to use his brands with a huge potential value of $250 billion as chips, then I will put 30% of the Suzuki Family’s shares on the line as chips. According to market value, that should amount to approximately $250 billion as well.”
Liang Chen gave a slight smile but said nothing.
Mr. Suzuki waited for the contract to be printed, signed it, and then efficiently flipped the second card: the King of Clubs.
Coupled with his earlier Diamond King, it made a pair of Kings.
Liang Chen also flipped his card at the same time, it was the King of Spades.
The Queen and King of Spades, a straight flush.
Liang Chen, who was originally at a disadvantage, was now even with Mr. Suzuki.
The last card, the decisive card, was all that was left.
There was absolute silence in the room.
Everyone held their breath.
The atmosphere in the room was slightly stagnant.
After what felt like a long minute, Liang Chen slowly ran his finger over the face-down poker card on the table, and said to Mr. Suzuki, “Mr. Suzuki, before revealing this card, I want to increase the bet once more.”
