Chapter 510

"Online gambling is risky, especially for board games like Texas Hold'em, which have many competitors in the United States, in addition to traditional casino tycoons."

"The traditional casino tycoons rely on the Elephant Party. After all, the Elephant Party is still in power, and the Donkey Party has not yet come to power. Even if the Donkey Party wins the election, it will not immediately repeal the previous bill."

"Until the bill is completely repealed, we must keep a low profile."

Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly. "If there really is a legal problem, Facebook can quickly cut ties with it. After all, it is just an operating platform."

In his previous life, the "Anti-Gambling Act" was not relaxed until 2013, and the past five or six years were spent testing the edge of the law.

Zhang Pingyi was a little puzzled. "You know this thing has risks, why do you still do it?"

"There are two reasons. The first one is of course to get Niu Jie here. After all, talent is hard to come by." Qin Shaoyan held up two fingers. "The second reason is to increase the value of Facebook so that I can sell my shares more easily."

"I am very anxious to sell my shares, but I don't want to let the Americans get away with it, so I have to take some risks."

"Anyway, if there are any problems between the two parties, it's not my fault. At most, I am just a matchmaker."

"Facebook has wanted to develop board games before. After all, this is a very profitable business, but it has never had the opportunity. It also needs to continuously improve its value."

"Even if it can't be done in the U.S., it can be put in markets outside the U.S. After all, Facebook is a global social networking site."

"Many gaming companies have set up their companies in the UK or Caribbean countries, but their users are mainly from the US. Facebook just needs to follow suit."

"Facebook has a huge user base and huge traffic, which is its biggest advantage."

Zhang Pingyi nodded, but he was a little doubtful. "This Chen Yuanzong is not very reliable. He is still so troublesome in the United States. Aren't you afraid that he will ruin your plan?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. He is now bewitched by this huge pie. He wants to eat it but dares not, and dares not give up. In the end, he has to cooperate obediently."

"I just used him once and threw him away after using him. It's none of my business whether he does something stupid in the future or not."

"I have achieved my first goal. As for whether I can achieve my second goal, it still depends on luck."

Zhang Pingyi breathed a sigh of relief. "If you put it that way, I understand. I also know what to do when I get to the United States."

"Prepare for a falling out and try to get Chen Yuanzong to cooperate. If he doesn't cooperate, kick him out."

"That's right." Qin Shaoyan nodded in agreement. "This is the kind of momentum we need. We need to make this guy understand that you can only take what I give you. You can't take it if I don't give it to you."

……

Zhang Pingyi quickly gathered two capable programmers, plus Niu Jie and a translator, and the group of five set off for the United States the next day.

Niu Jie was still a little confused at this time, and found that his situation had improved.

Since I changed my boss, not only has my salary increased, but I can also travel abroad on business.

As for what to do in the United States, he didn't ask. He just had one thought in mind: do whatever the boss tells him to do.

Liu Yuanrui and Edward, who were in the United States, came to greet him. When Liu Yuanrui saw Zhang Pingyi, he rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Pingyi's hand.

"Boss Zhang, you're finally here." Liu Yuanrui looked ashamed. "I feel guilty. I have failed to live up to Boss Qin's expectations."

He did feel a little guilty. Before coming to the United States, Qin Shaoyan asked him to look after Chen Yuanzong.

As a result, he was careless for a moment and let Chen Yuanzong do such a strange thing.

This time, an old veteran like him had no idea what to do with him. He cursed Chen Yuanzong in his heart, thinking that this guy was definitely not only stupid, but also had water in his brain.

If you don't want to cooperate, just say so and get out. If you want to cooperate, just be obedient and cooperate with Mr. Qin to make money peacefully.

You don't want to sign the agreement, but you don't say you won't cooperate. What the hell are you wasting your time on?

Now President Qin is very unhappy, and he directly sent Zhang Pingyi to the United States to resolve the matter. President Qin's attitude is clear at a glance.

Liu Yuanrui was also somewhat uneasy. The older he got in the world, the less courageous he became. That was because he was knowledgeable and experienced, and knew which people he could offend and which he could not.

Qin Shaoyan, the richest man in the country, looks young, but he is absolutely ruthless in doing things, otherwise how could he become the richest man in the country?

As for what Chen Yuanzong thought, he didn't care. He had seen many weird people over the years, so this one wasn't a big deal.

Zhang Pingyi didn't say anything, just said "hmm" and walked straight into the prepared business car.

Liu Yuanrui had no idea what Zhang Pingyi was thinking, so he could only follow him into the car silently.

On the way to the hotel, Zhang Pingyi slowly spoke, "Are you going to sign the agreement or not? Just express your opinion and don't waste time here."

"After all, everyone's time is valuable."

Liu Yuanrui quickly expressed his opinion, "I really want to cooperate. It's all Chen Yuanzong's fault. He messed around."

Zhang Pingyi glanced at him and asked, "So what are you thinking?"

Liu Yuanrui was stunned by this question. He had just said that he wanted to cooperate, and Zhang Pingyi asked him what he thought.

He carefully answered, "Boss Zhang, I just want to make money with Boss Qin, I don't have any other ideas."

"Very good." Zhang Pingyi nodded, "If you want to make money, you have to obey. If you don't want to make money, get out."

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Yuanrui quickly agreed, "I always listen to Mr. Qin and never have second thoughts."

Zhang Pingyi said calmly: "Boss Qin knows that this matter has nothing to do with you, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me here."

Liu Yuanrui's heart tightened, and he asked cautiously: "Does President Qin have any instructions?"

"Boss Qin said so." Zhang Pingyi said expressionlessly, "Chen Yuanzong is a man who cherishes his body when doing great things and forgets his principles when he sees small profits. He is not worthy of being a consultant."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Qin is absolutely right!" Liu Yuanrui slapped his thigh and gave a thumbs up, praising, "Mr. Qin is really cultured and what he said is so appropriate."

He couldn't tell it anyway.

Chen Yuanzong is a person who wants to rush forward when he sees benefits, but wants to retreat when the time comes. He can't tell the difference between the big picture and the small picture.

It's a miracle that such a person can survive until now.

……

The hotel Zhang Pingyi stayed in was the same one as Liu Yuanrui and others, but Zhang Pingyi went back directly to rest without meeting anyone.

After Liu Yuanrui sent Zhang Pingyi back to his room, he turned around and came to Chen Yuanzong's room and barged in, cursing him, "If you want to die, don't drag me with you."

"What happened?" Chen Yuanzong was still a little confused.

"Boss Qin sent people from China. It was his deputy, Boss Zhang Pingyi, who led the team." Liu Yuanrui said angrily, "Boss Qin said that if you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, go back to China."

"If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will!"

Chen Yuanzong was a little panicked and sat up straight on the sofa, but he quickly sat back down and remained silent.

Liu Yuanrui said from the side: "Hurry up and send that Peter Huang away, and go to Facebook to sign tomorrow."

"Let's not rush about this matter." Chen Yuanzong said slowly.

"You're not in a hurry?" Liu Yuanrui said angrily, "Boss Qin has sent someone over, and you're still saying you're not in a hurry."

"Boss Qin, he still needs me. After all, we have already made the chess and card games, and it is not cost-effective to change people." Chen Yuanzong said after a moment of silence, "For cooperation between the two parties, we have to discuss it. I can't just listen to what they say."

"You're hiding from the wind." Liu Yuanrui was so angry that he laughed. "How difficult can your chess and card game be? They started out as game developers. They can make a new one for you in a minute." "Besides, you're not the only one making chess and card games in China. As long as he spreads the word, people who want to cooperate will squeeze in."

"It's different, it's different." Chen Yuanzong waved his hand. "There's not enough time. I can't say anything else. I'm also the best in the country in the field of online gambling. Others don't have my strength."

Liu Yuanrui felt that this guy was really stubborn, so he stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he said, "Mr. Zhang didn't come alone. He brought Niu Jie with him."

When Chen Yuanzong heard this, he jumped up from the sofa as if he had received an electric shock, and asked in shock, "Really? Niu Jie is here too?"

Liu Yuanrui said nothing, just snorted coldly and left.

He felt that cooperating with this idiot was a complete mistake, and he had to think of a way to get out of it quickly, otherwise he would be killed by Chen Yuanzong sooner or later.

Chen Yuanzong stood there in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses. He immediately went out, asked at the hotel front desk about the room Niu Jie was staying in, and then went straight to his door.

He knocked hard on the door a few times before he heard Niu Jie's familiar voice, "I'm coming."

After opening the door and seeing the familiar face of Chen Yuanzong, Niu Jie was stunned on the spot, "Boss Chen? Why...why did you come to see me?"

Chen Yuanzong didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and wanted to push Niu Jie away and squeeze directly into the room. However, he didn't expect that Niu Jie didn't move at all and stood upright in front of the door.

The first push failed, so Chen Yuanzong pushed hard the second time, but Niu Jie's strong body did not move at all, and he just stared at Chen Yuanzong blankly.

"Get out of my way." Chen Yuanzong said impatiently, "I want to go in."

"If you have something to say, just say it here. Why are you coming into my room?" Niu Jie asked vigilantly.

"Why can't I go in?" Chen Yuanzong asked back.

Niu Jie replied: "I'm afraid Mr. Zhang will misunderstand."

"..." Chen Yuanzong was a little angry and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing in the United States?"

"Boss Qin asked me to come here." Niu Jie answered straightforwardly, "I will do whatever Boss Qin asks me to do."

"Are you here to play chess and card games?" Chen Yuanzong continued to ask.

"It's none of your business." Niu Jie added, "If you have nothing to do, please go back."

Before Chen Yuanzong could continue asking, the door was slammed shut.

Chen Yuanzong knocked on the door a few more times, but there was no movement from inside. Instead, it disturbed the other tenants, who immediately started to curse.

After returning to his room in dejection, Chen Yuanzong thought about it and felt that something was wrong. If Qin Shaoyan really wanted to get rid of him, creating another chess and card game would only be a waste of two or three months.

Moreover, with the experienced main programmer Niu Jie, the progress will be faster.

If I really get kicked out, then all my efforts will be in vain.

It seemed that this agreement had to be signed. Chen Yuanzong picked up the phone and called Peter Huang, "I need to sign the Facebook agreement. You come with me tomorrow."

"Sign?" Peter Huang raised his voice. "Why did you sign it if they didn't modify the contract?"

"Don't worry about it." Chen Yuanzong interrupted him, "Just come with me to sign tomorrow."

"That won't work. I have to protect the legal rights of my client. This agreement cannot be signed." Peter Huang insisted, "Wait a little longer."

"If you wait any longer, the flowers will get cold." Chen Yuanzong said angrily, "I'm the boss, I want to sign, you can't object."

"I'm a lawyer, you have to listen to me." Peter Huang said firmly, "If I say you can't sign, then you can't sign."

"..." Chen Yuanzong resisted the urge to curse and said directly, "You are fired. OK, I don't need you as a lawyer anymore."

Unexpectedly, Pete Huang sneered, "Fire? NONO, you have no right to fire me. We have signed a commission agreement."

"You have no right to terminate the commission before the commission agreement ends, otherwise you will have to compensate me for my losses."

"How much do you want?" Chen Yuanzong frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"One million dollars!" Peter Huang said with a smile, "Either you listen to me, or you pay me one million dollars."

"Otherwise I will sue you in court. I can tell you in advance that you won't win in court because the entrustment agreement has already stated various terms and conditions, and you have signed it. I am an expert in this area."

Chen Yuanzong was shocked and angry. He finally realized that he had fallen into a trap and cursed: "Huang, you TM tricked me!"

"NONONO, this is the law, you have to act according to the law." Pete Huang said proudly, "Welcome to America!"

Chen Yuanzong was so angry that he just gave up and said, "Go ahead and sue me! You won't get a penny from me!"

Peter Huang's tone changed, "You're playing rogue, right? In America, I have nine ways to kill you. Nine ways!"

"You either pay the money obediently, or wait for the court to enforce it, or I'll ask some friends in the community to talk to you."

Shit, this lawyer is prepared for both the black and white worlds.

……

Chen Yuanzong was tortured and did not sleep all night. Early in the morning he ran to the door of Zhang Pingyi's room and waited.

Seeing Zhang Pingyi coming out, he rushed over as if he had met a savior, "Boss Zhang, save me, save me."

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Chen?" Zhang Pingyi was surprised. "Why are you here instead of studying the contract?"

"Mr. Zhang! I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Chen Yuanzong cried bitterly, "I was cheated. It was not my intention not to sign. It was all instigated by those lawyers. I am also a victim!"

"Believe me, I am loyal to President Qin and I have no second thoughts."

"Alright, alright." Zhang Pingyi interrupted Chen Yuanzong impatiently, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"I'm going to sign on Facebook right now. I also ask Mr. Zhang to lend a hand for the sake of our cooperation." Chen Yuanzong said hastily, "My lawyer said he would sue me and call the police to arrest me, unless I give him one million dollars?"

Zhang Pingyi frowned after listening to Chen Yuanzong's explanation, and was very impatient, "What a crap thing you are talking about."

"Forget it, forget it. Just sign the contract and I'll take care of the rest."

Chen Yuanzong was stunned, a little bit unbelieving, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Zhang Pingyi waved his hands. "He's just a lawyer. What's there to be afraid of? You're not working in the United States. At worst, you can just go back to China. Can he still come back to your country and ask you for money?"

"The rest is just that Facebook will come forward to sort it out during your time in the United States."

Chen Yuanzong then reacted and said, yes.

The worst that can happen is that I can just run away. What should I be afraid of?

Then he said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang. You are my savior. I really don't know how to thank you."

"Just sign it quickly." Zhang Pingyi glared at him.

"Okay, okay, I'll sign it right away." Chen Yuanzong nodded quickly. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to his room, he suddenly saw two burly men standing behind him, staring at him coldly.

Chen Yuanzong was startled and looked at Zhang Pingyi in panic, "Mr. Zhang..."

"This is your bodyguard, who will protect you until you get on the plane." Zhang Pingyi looked at him with a half-smile, "How is it? This is a thoughtful arrangement, isn't it?"

Chen Yuanzong showed an expression that was uglier than crying at this time, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
