Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 293 Going Back to the Countryside to Farm
It's normal for everyone to be intimidated in the first round since they're unfamiliar with each other and don't know much about each other. In the second round, everyone starts to be more cautious.

Li Jiayuan glanced at the cards in the card box, estimating the most likely hand on the table, and still opted for a conservative approach.

The game started uneventfully, and as it went on, everyone's chips gradually dwindled, with the winners ending up losing the most.

On the contrary, Li Jiayuan, who only won a few hands from beginning to end, had more and more chips, and there were already nine million chips on the table.

This is a gambling dealer. Li Jiayuan chooses to play a hand based on his observation of everyone's expressions and the dealer's first reaction after each deal, making the best choice based on their approximate hand cards.

He bets small amounts, but even if there's a chance, he won't take the bet, leaving it for others, thus preserving his strength.

If he keeps winning, he will definitely face a united front against him from others. Therefore, at this point, it is safest to keep a low profile and rely on the overall market to make money.

Although he didn't win many hands, every time he won, he chose to make a move when everyone was raising the stakes and he had a good hand. It only required simple operations, and he earned more than the guy who kept winning.

Soon, the rounds were over, and the game changed. Scoring was based on wins and losses; the more you won, the higher your score.

There will be five qualifying matches in total. This is only the first match, and Li Jiayuan has already earned half of the qualifying points needed to participate in the final knockout stage.

The second round was interesting; he ran into Gao Ao. There weren't many people participating in the gambling, so it was normal to run into some professionals. Jiang Yun was even at the same table as the French gambling god next door.

In this match, Li Jiayuan continued to play a steady game, but he was arrogant. In the fifth game, for some unknown reason, he suddenly attacked him.

In this game of targeting, Gao Ao had a lot of chips, but Li Jiayuan also had a lot of chips, so he wasn't afraid at all and played two rounds head-on.

After taking more than two million from Gao Ao's hands, the kid chickened out, and his face looked even darker than before.

Li Jiayuan was unaware that Gao Ao had actually seen Gao Jin's style of play in Li Jiayuan's game, and had targeted him out of momentary displeasure. Unfortunately, he had overestimated his own strength.

Li Jiayuan's skills are at the level of the future international gambling god Gao Jin, far surpassing those of the current Gao Jin, Gao Ao, or even their shady master Jin Neng.

After the second round, Li Jiayuan had 16 million chips in his hand.

US dollars!!
That's US dollars!!
More than 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

Meanwhile, in the second-floor corridor!!

Lin Xin and Qiu Degen stared intently at Li Jiayuan below, watching his chips accumulate from four million to over ten million in just two games—three times his initial investment.

At this moment, both Qiu Degen and Li Jiayuan were about to explode with shock at the pile of chips in front of Li Jiayuan.

"He...he...he's that amazing?"

Qiu Degen could barely speak. Yesterday and just now, he had been laughing the loudest. The happier he was just now, the more swollen his face was now.

He never imagined that Li Jiayuan was actually a gambler, and clearly not just an ordinary gambler.

Those who remain on the field are the best of the best; someone like him going up there would just be cannon fodder.

Li Jiayuan was actually able to hold his own against these old devils—no, they weren't even in the same league.

"Who is that person? They're amazing!!"

"He won sixteen million in just two games. He's a dark horse. Look at his chips. They're about the same as Lei Li's and that French gambling god's. I've never heard of such a person in the gambling world before."

"What? This is Li Jiayuan? You're not from Hong Kong, are you? It's normal that you don't recognize him."

Hearing the discussion next door, Qiu Degen and his group subconsciously looked at Lei Li's table and found that it was true; their chips were about the same as Li Jiayuan's.

Does this mean that Li Jiayuan's skills are on par with theirs?

The silent voice was deafening.

Li Jiayuan has now started the third round of gambling.

Three hours later, all five qualifying matches were completed, and those still on the field were truly top players.

After these five events, Li Jiayuan has accumulated $32 million in chips, although a portion of it will be donated to the organizers for charity.

But he can also get a lot, and it's all real money.

As for these five matches, Li Jiayuan didn't see anything that put pressure on him. The only thing that interested him was Lei Li and the French gambling god.

These two are indeed very powerful, especially Lei Li, who truly deserves to be called the supreme being who swept through America.

This type of serial number is not something that ordinary people can obtain.

Along the way, Li Jiayuan also encountered Jiang Yun and jokingly suggested that he send her to her death as well.

If it weren't for the skill levels of Li Jiayuan and Jiang Yun, they would likely have advanced. After a few more rounds, several honest players were eliminated, leaving only five people at the table.

That makes things simple; just attack them all at once.

The final showdown takes place at a table, where Li Jiayuan, Lei Li, the French gambling god, and the two brothers Gao Jin are seated.

Apart from Li Jiayuan, the rest of the players were all hired outside helpers.

Lei Li greeted the French gambling god, indicating that the two knew each other.

Gao Jin nodded to Li Jiayuan, looking a bit dazed as he began to learn the ropes.

As for arrogance, he always has a sour face, as if someone owes him millions.

As the competition entered its final stage, the spectators outside cheered and applauded continuously. Lei Li received the loudest cheers, followed by Li Jiayuan.

The wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong were overjoyed to see that one of their business representatives could actually compete with these gambling tycoons, which is why Li Jiayuan received strong support from the wealthy businessmen on Hong Kong Island.

The reporters didn't forget to give him several close-up shots.

"let's start?"

The French gambling god began his speech with broken Chinese.

In the final stage, the competition format became less strict. Each team's representative stood behind their foreign aid. To Li Jiayuan's surprise, the French gambling god was actually a representative invited by Huang Kui's side.

This guy was watching Li Jiayuan and the French gambling god whispering to each other with a sinister look. He didn't even need to think to know what the guy was talking about; he was probably trying to get the French gambling god to target him later.

The player starts with an arrogant, straight bid.

"10"

Li Jiayuan glanced at the face-down Jack and 2 in his hand and immediately folded them without looking at any of them.

"I'm at peace with Buddha."

Next, it was their turn to play. Li Jiayuan appeared casual, but he was actually observing, mainly Lei Li and the French gambling god. He wanted to figure out their playing styles.

In the first hand, Gao Jin won with three Kings.

The rule for the final decisive match is that there are no rules; it continues until only one person remains. Of course, the contestant can choose to concede.

Soon, the arrogant and impatient Gao Jin was the first to be eliminated. Although Gao Jin was not eliminated, he watched as his chips grew larger and larger compared to the other three.

Knowing he had no chance, he conceded defeat and left the stage, leaving only three people behind.

Li Jiayuan also sat up straight and looked at the Frenchman opposite him.

"Damn it, I've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time. You talked back to me earlier, didn't you? I'll kill you now."

"Li Jiayuan, I think you'd better just admit defeat, or you won't be able to buy a ticket back home."

"Tch, you're a dog licker."

"What did you say!!!"

Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife. Huang Kui's reaction was more like someone had hit a sore spot.

The dealer dealt the cards. This time, Li Jiayuan's hole card was an Ace, and his face-up card was a King. He gave a wicked smile.

"100"

The other two companies didn't hesitate and immediately followed suit.

Li Jiayuan received the Jack of Hearts in the third card, and spoke with hearts facing down.

This time he threw in 500 million.

He looked at the French gambling god provocatively.

"Frenchmen, are you coming or not? If not, go back to your country and farm."

The guests on the second and third floors burst into laughter.
