Chapter 244: A Billion Yen Gamble
Chapter 244: A Billion Yen Gamble
"Chairman Katagen, you may have heard about the personal feud between me and Chairman Hayami of Toyo Electric Power Company?"
After hearing Luo Hao's loud voice, Pianyuanmietang nodded slightly.
“I did hear a little about what happened between Brother Luo Hao and President Hayami.
Isn't this just right?
You two can take this opportunity today to put this matter to rest.
You don’t have to worry about it anymore!”
Luo Hao smiled.
“Hehehe!
President, you seem to have misunderstood what I meant!"
Upon hearing this, President Pianyuan said, "Oh?" and then stroked his beard.
"interesting!
Brother Luo Hao, why don't you tell me about it?"
Seeing that President Pianyuan seemed a little interested, Luo Hao continued:
“I think it would be too boring if the game was just this simple.
I want to add some spice to make this game more thrilling.
I asked President Katagawa to open a special betting line for me and Katsumasa Hayami.
I personally bet 1000 billion yen and gambled with Katsumasa Hayami.
If I win, President Hayami will have to hand over to me the property deeds of all the neighborhoods in Chinatown that he had forcibly acquired from the Chinese.
If I lose, then the 1000 billion yen will belong to President Hayami."
After hearing Luo Hao's proposal, Chairman Pianyuan stroked his beard and laughed loudly. Then he looked up at the Toyo Electric Power's box and said loudly:
"How about it!
Brother Hayami, did you hear what brother Luo Hao just proposed?
Why not come out and say something and give a response. "
There was a lot of discussion in the audience:
"This is a gamble worth hundreds of billions of dollars. I didn't expect Brother Luo Hao to be so courageous!"
"This is a sure win bet. Think about it, the official odds just now are three to one.
If I were President Hayami, I would definitely agree without hesitation."
"It's a pity that you're not President Hayami, but let's wait and see how President Hayami will respond."
At this moment, the side door of a box above the audience seats slowly opened, and an ugly-looking man in a suit walked out.
This person is none other than Hayami Katsumasa.
“President Pianyuan, Brother Luo Hao proposed a big bet with me, and I have no objection.
But there is a key point here that you don’t seem to have considered.”
Upon hearing this, President Pianyuan said "Oh" again, and then asked:
"Brother Hayami, why don't you tell me frankly, what is wrong with this?"
Hayami Katsumasa said in a deep voice:
“Chairman Katagawa, you should know that the true value of the former Chinatown plot in Tokyo is far more than 1000 billion yen.
Have you ever thought about this carefully?"
Chairman Katanamoto looked embarrassed at what Hayami Katsumasa said.
Seeing this, Luo Hao immediately interrupted, he was eager to get the support of the president of Pianyuan.
If even the president of the film source rejected his proposal, then there would be no point in talking about this bet.
“Hayami Katsumasa, you used all kinds of improper means, coercion and inducement to forcibly purchase the houses of the neighbors in Chinatown.
The total amount you paid is less than 500 billion yen.
Now, you have the nerve to say that 1000 billion yen is not enough to bet with you. This is ridiculous!"
Hayami Katsumasa waved his hand gently, a sneer on his face.
"Brother Luo Hao, there is an old saying that business is like a battlefield. I think you must have heard it.
However, I, Katsumasa Hayami, am not a completely heartless person.
Let me give you a chance. If you are willing to bet 200 billion yen, I will reluctantly play this game with you.
Otherwise, the bet will be cancelled and the game will proceed as planned."
Luo Hao, who was standing in the center of the arena, was so angry that his lips trembled slightly, and for a moment he could not find the words to refute.
Pianyuanmietang also cursed in his heart, but due to the rules of this occasion, he could not openly favor either side.
Although he wanted to help Luo Hao, his actions were too obvious and it was neither reasonable nor moral to do so.
What's more, Katsumasa Hayami is not a soft persimmon who can be easily bullied.
"Brother Luo Hao, if you can't raise 200 billion yen as a bet, then this bet will have to be called off. What do you think?"
President Katagawa said slowly.
Inside the arena, Luo Hao looked embarrassed, although he was eager to take this opportunity to defeat Hayami Katsumasa.
But the reality is that his family is not well-off and he can hardly afford such a huge bet.
Just as Luo Hao fell into despair, a clear female voice suddenly sounded:
“The Eagle Village Group is willing to advance the difference of 1000 billion yen for Brother Luo Hao.
President Hayami, you should have no objection now, right?"
Hearing the voice, Luo Hao looked up and looked to the other side of the audience, only to see his employer, Miss Kyoka Takamura, looking at him with a smile.
With the decision made by President Pianyuan, the bet between Brother Luo Hao and Hayami Katsumasa was officially established, and the atmosphere in the entire arena instantly reached a climax.
Every audience member present became a witness to this 2000 billion gamble.
They talked excitedly, looking forward to the next game to bring more thrilling competition.
Katsumasa Hayami obviously did not expect that Kataganamoto would make such a decisive decision.
Anger flashed across his face, but he could only accept the reality helplessly. He returned to his box angrily, ready to continue watching the game.
After all, the 2000 billion bet was proposed by him and now it cannot be changed.
At this time, Yamamoto Koishi, as the referee, raised his right hand and was eager to lower it to announce the official start of the game.
He shouted, "Hakimi!"
The sound echoed in the arena, drawing everyone's attention to the fierce battle that was about to unfold.
Following the referee's order, Luo Hao and Hayami Katsumasa each adjusted their breathing, concentrated their minds, and prepared to face this contest of honor and wealth.
The atmosphere in the entire arena was extremely tense, and the audience held their breath, afraid of missing any exciting moments.
Behind this bet, Kyoka Takamura's help undoubtedly gave Luo Hao tremendous confidence.
She not only demonstrated her trust and support for Luo Hao, but also highlighted the strong financial strength and influence of the Eagle Village Group.
All this made Luo Hao more determined to win the game.
