After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 486 A small gambling pleasure
After the regular meeting the next morning, Lu Liang led the team to the Beijing Airport at noon.

"Boss Liu, why don't you take my plane?"

Lu Liang smiled and invited Liu Qing.

Including the accompanying security personnel, the review team consists of 23 members, but there are only 12 seats on the plane.

It can only be done the same way as the last time Panda went public in the United States, with some people taking private jets and some taking passenger planes.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, but I want to bring two more people, is that okay?" Liu Qing also smiled.

Lu Liang nodded slightly and looked at the other two people, one of whom was Liang Jing, the representative of Uber’s board of directors, and the other one he didn’t know.

"Mr. Gao Jinhua, Honorary Professor of Huaqing University, has assisted many groups in going public in the United States. He may be able to help us on this trip."

He is in his early fifties, very tall but thin, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, giving people the feeling of a gentle and modest gentleman.

Gao Jinhua smiled, held out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu. I have heard of your great name for a long time. Today I am finally able to meet you in person."

"Hello, Professor Gao, thank you for your help. It's almost time, let's go." Lu Liang walked quickly in front.

As he walked, he told Xu Jiawei: "Contact Zhu Hu and find out who this Professor Gao is."

Xu Jiawei nodded and deliberately slowed down his pace, letting Liu Qing and the other two go first. He stayed behind to make a phone call.

"Xiao Qing, President Lu is indeed alert." A gleam of light flashed in Gao Jinhua's eyes, but the smile on his face remained.

"If he wasn't vigilant, he wouldn't be Lu Liang."

A trace of worry appeared on Liu Qing's face: "Teacher, what are our chances of winning?"

Gao Jinhua thought for a moment and made a three gesture: "The key lies in whether Mr. Lu's chips are strong enough."

He is not only an honorary professor of Huaqing University, but also a resident lecturer at Harvard University and Liu Qing's mentor.

The old Liutou of the previous generation was his mentor, the old Liutou of this generation is his good friend, and Liu Qing is his student and has a deep connection with the Liu family.

At the same time, Lu Liang came to the front seat and received a call from Zhu Hu while waiting to enter the runway.

"Old Lu, this Professor Gao is quite well-known in the academic circles at home and abroad. For example, David from Goldman Sachs, Jones from Morgan, and Pierre from DuPont are all his teachers and friends. He has a deep connection with the Liu family..."

Zhu Hu was annoyed. He should have thought of it earlier. The Liu family had become infamous because of the 5G voting scandal.

If Liu Qing was forced to leave Didi again, the Liu family would be finished. Gao Jinhua had such a good relationship with the Liu family that it was impossible for him to stand by and watch her die.

There is a saying that goes, "The pen of a scholar is like the sword of a warrior."

Businessmen want to make money and need to create momentum, but because of their status as businessmen, no matter what they say, it will reveal a sense of insincerity, and for a moment some people will doubt whether they have ulterior motives and are acting for their own benefit.

Therefore, we need mouthpieces from various experts and scholars, and Gao Jinhua is one of the best among them.

He has participated in the World Economic Forum, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, Tokyo Forum, G20, and is also a board member of the BRICS Summit.

"The plane is about to take off, so let's just leave it at that for now."

After ending the call with Zhu Hu, Lu Liang's mouth curled up and his frown relaxed.

His worries mainly came from the unknown. Now that he knew Liu Qing's trump card, things would be easier.

Although Professor Gao has a prominent background, the most he can do is to act as a matchmaker and smooth things over.

The Americans are more concerned with social relationships and background than the University of Tokyo, but when it comes to interests, one’s biological father is not worth talking to.

As everyone took their seats, the plane glided and took off into the relatively stable stratosphere, beginning the 13-hour flight.

Lu Liang unbuckled his seat belt, left his seat, looked at Liu Qing and the others, and smiled: "Boss Liu, Professor Gao, do you want to play mahjong?"

Liu Qing glanced at Gao Jinhua, who nodded slightly. She smiled and said, "Since Mr. Lu is interested, then we can follow the host's wishes."

Gao Jinhua said: "Mr. Lu, a little gambling is good for your health, but don't play too big. I'm not as rich as you guys."

"Professor Gao, you are too modest. The annual dividend income is probably higher than Mr. Liu's annual salary."

Lu Liang was all smiles. In the cooperation between businessmen and literati, if the businessmen could take the lion's share, the literati would naturally be able to take the small share.

Zhu Hu just sent a document saying that Gao Jinhua holds shares in eight listed and unlisted companies, and his annual dividends are at least five million.

Although it is a bit stereotyped, a literati who asks for money is no longer pure, and Lu Liang's hanging heart will be completely put at ease.

Gao Jinhua narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "No matter how big Mr. Lu plans to play, I will also spend some money to play with you."

Lu Liang brought a few people to the entertainment room in the middle section, opened the drawer on the wall, and took out chips of different colors.

He smiled and said, "Each stack has 1000 points, so one point counts as . Let's play it lightly, so as not to lose all Professor Gao's capital." After he finished speaking, Gao Jinhua looked at him unkindly, "If you can make me lose all my capital, it's also Mr. Lu's ability."

"Then we'll see what happens." Lu Liang smiled happily and turned to look at Liu Qing again: "How about it?"

Liu Qing chuckled and said, "I'm fine, but there's one person missing from the three of us."

Several people looked at Liang Jing, who waved her hands and smiled apologetically: "Boss Liu, Boss Lu, you guys play, I don't know how to play."

Although she was the general manager of Uber China, after Uber was acquired by Didi, Liu Zhen left and all members withdrew.

She is the only one in the entire company's China department, and her job is to unconditionally support Liu Qing on the board of directors.

With an annual salary of only $600,000, she couldn't afford to play a card game of 11,000 yuan. If she was unlucky, she might go bankrupt before she even finished a round.

"One more person is missing."

Lu Liang glanced at the cabin and Xu Jiawei was excluded first because he had official business to attend to and he was a man.

The best lineup for playing cards is two men and two women. It is less tiring when men and women work together. It would be better to find someone prettier than Liu Qing.

Lu Liang suddenly looked at the flight attendant Lin Yan, smiled and waved, "Flight attendant Lin, we are short of one person, come and help us."

When Lin Yan learned that the game was so big, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Mr. Lu, you guys play, I only know how to play Guigang Mahjong."

Guigang Mahjong is also known as Cantonese Mahjong. It only has Chicken Hu, which can be touched but not eaten. It can only be touched by oneself, and there is no multiple-handedness.

"Then Guigang?" Lu Liang looked at Liu Qing and Gao Jinhua, and they nodded: "Guigang's fighting style is simple and not brain-burning."

"Then let's get started. All eight numbers are one, five, and nine."

Lu Liang looked at Lin Yan and said with a smile: "Hurry up and take a seat. Just consider it as helping out. Just like last time, if you win, it's yours, and if you lose, it's mine."

"Okay." Lin Yan glanced at the two of them and nodded heavily.

She felt the atmosphere was not right as soon as she got on the plane, and now things were getting so serious, there was obviously a conflict.

Although she didn't know why Lu Liang came to her, since Boss Lu offered to help, she couldn't refuse in front of outsiders.

As the sound of mahjong tiles colliding rang out, the first game of mahjong officially began.

Playing cards seems a bit mysterious.

People who don't want to play cards often have particularly good luck.

Lin Yan won the first hand by herself, and also had a hidden stick, and she touched six numbers, one, five and nine.

Less than five minutes.
The profit from the first hand is 24.

Lu Liang narrowed his eyes and smiled. Although he lost money, he was still very happy: "Continue."

As long as he can make Liu Qing and Gao Jinhua lose money, he doesn't care whether he wins or loses.

Liu Qing also gradually put away her contempt. Winning or losing was not important to her. The key was not to lose to Lu Liang.

There was a flash of pain in Gao Jinhua's eyes, but he remained calm on the surface, unlike Liu Lu who were fighting with each other.

His total annual income is less than 10 million, so winning or losing 80,000 yuan would still cause him a small loss.

Happy time always goes by so fast.
In the blink of an eye, five hours passed.

Some people’s chips are almost reaching 3000 points, some people’s chips are about to bottom out, and some people’s chips are basically not moving.

Lu Liang opened his drawer, took out two coins representing 100 points, and gently bumped them together. He looked at Gao Jinhua with a smile on his face: "Professor Gao, is that all?"

Although he lost 800 points, Gao Jinhua lost almost all of it. Liu Qing should have made a small profit, but most of the money was won by Lin Yan.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu."

Gao Jinhua forced a smile, and the gentle and elegant demeanor he had just had was instantly gone by 90%.

Lu Liang waved to the flight attendant at the door: "Help Professor Gao get another stack. Play and have fun."

Liu Qing frowned and said, "Boss Lu, we've been playing for so long, why don't we take a break first."

"Don't worry, I've lost more than 800 yuan, and Professor Gao has lost almost 1,000 yuan. Maybe our luck will change if we play a few more times." Lu Liang still smiled.

Liu Qing quietly kicked Gao Jinhua under the table. Gao Jinhua took a deep breath, took out his checkbook, and signed a bill for 10 million: "I won't play today. I'm a little tired. Let's do it next time."
