Chapter 1889 A multi-million pound gamble
Elton was waiting in the hotel early in the morning.
He accompanied Lei Huanxi to have breakfast.
"What are your plans today, Mr. Lei?"
"Since I'm here in Manchester, I always go and see it." Lei Huan said happily: "Maybe I'm going to die tomorrow. You can't even see what Manchester is like, right?"
"Although I'm a Manchester native, I have to say it's a boring city," Elton said with a smile. "A highly industrialized city, of course, if its advantages, is its history. There are many historical sites in this city. If you want, I can take you to see the ancient Manchester products."
"I would love it, Mr. Elton. Ah, Mr. Harry is still sleeping. He has been to Manchester many times and today he doesn't want to leave the room."
So Lei Huanxi was taken to a club by Elton:
Erneli Club.
Elton carefully introduced the glorious history of the club to Lei Huanxi.
It is said that even the British Prime Minister during World War II visited this club.
"The German planes once bombed Manchester." Elton's voice was filled with pride as he said these words:
"There were many members in the club at that time. When the air raid sirens sounded, I clearly remember that there were several members playing bridge there. Facing the German bombing, they did not even blink and continued to play cards there with concentration. At that time, I was just a young waiter, and I remember a gentleman said to me, 'Mr. Elton, please give me a cup of black tea'. At that time, I was almost frightened, but they actually had the heart to play bridge and drink black tea."
"Shan Tai collapsed before his appearance remained unchanged." Lei Huanxi sighed and said, "This is an old saying in China, which means that no matter how big a thing happens, you must be calm. At this point, these gentlemen are still very respectable."
"Hello, Mr. Barnes."
At this time, Elton said to a gentleman who walked into the club.
"Hello, Mr. Elton, why do our club have strange faces?" Mr. Barnes asked curiously: "This club has always been not allowed to visit outsiders."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes, this is Mr. Lei Huanxi, who comes from far away China. Mr. Lei Huanxi, this is a lifelong member of the club and a respected Mr. Barnes."
"Hello, Mr. Barnes."
"Hello, Mr. Lei." Mr. Barnes became excited: "Do you come from China?"
"Yes, Mr. Barnes."
"Then you must play mahjong?
Mahjong?
In the distant UK, you actually heard the word mahjong?
Lei Huanxi thought it was particularly fun: "You know a little, but you are not proficient, Mr. Barnes."
"Ah, that's great." Mr. Barnes seemed even happier: "My companions and I especially like to play mahjong, and it's no exaggeration to say that our mahjong skills are very good. I always thought of going to China to find local mahjong experts to learn about it, but I never had a chance. You are here, it's great. Mr. Elton."
"I'm here, Mr. Barnes."
“The club’s lifetime members have the right to invite guests to entertain entertainment?”
"Yes, Mr. Barnes."
"Then I invite Mr. Lei Huanxi from China to our private room."
"Okay, Mr. Barnes."
Lei Huanxi was taken into Mr. Barnes' private room.
Then he met Mr. Miller, Mr. McDorr and Mr. Chester again.
Mr. Miller gave his position to Lei Huanxi.
Lei Huanxi really saw the mahjong plaque here.
It's so interesting. I originally came to Manchester to seek death, but who would have thought of playing mahjong first?
"How much is the bottom?" Lei Huanxi asked.
"A £1 bottom."
£1?
So small?
Lei Huanxi frowned.
"Is it too big?" Mr. Barnes keenly captured the detail.
"No, it's too small."
Such an ancient club, actually playing mahjong? It’s okay to play mahjong, but it’s so small?
The price of 1 pound today is only less than 9 yuan, right?
"Ah, it's really too small." Barnes nodded seriously: "Then let's increase it to the bottom of £10,000."
Lei Huanxi almost spit out.
It was just the bottom of 1 pound, but now it has increased to 10,000 pounds at once?
Are these old guys having a problem with their brains?
"What's wrong, Mr. Lei, do you still think it's small?"
"No, it's enough, but I didn't bring that much money."
"It doesn't matter. We accept checks and various types of transfer methods. Let's settle the bill together after the transaction."
"Then I'll try it. I really don't know how to play mahjong." Lei Huanxi said very modestly.
"East wind."
"Touch, 3."
"Get rich."
"Touch, I'm going to make a fortune. Sorry, gentlemen, I'm going to be in trouble."
"You are so lucky, Mr. Lei."
"Yes, yes, I play mahjong entirely with my luck."
“9 items.”
“Eat one.”
"You got 9 pieces in the first lap, why do you still have to eat it? Mr. Lei? I still got 8 pieces and 9 pieces."
"I said, I played randomly. Oh, you have played 8 and 9 cards to kill me?"
"There is no such thing, Mr. Lei."
"90,000."
"Wait, I'm confused, I'll just hang 90,000 yuan."
A few mahjongs were finished.
"Mr. McDowell, please be careful to control your next card?"
"Mr. Chester, I have tried my best. Instead, Mr. Barnes always plays cards and touches Mr. Lei Huanxi."
"Why did it blame me? Mr. McDoer, you are sitting in Mr. Lei's previous house, you should review it."
These three old men began to have internal conflicts.
Lei Huanxi had to play cards while persuading him.
Then, he made several big names one after another.
Mr. Barnes, Mr. McDor and Mr. Chester had very ugly faces.
Isn't this a bad thing to play cards?
It's thankful to be able to get a card in his next house.
"Gentlemen, it's noon, it's time to have lunch."
Fortunately, just as the three old men lost their faces turned pale, butler Elton came in and relieved them in time.
"Ah, I've had lunch, I've had lunch." Mr. Barnes felt relieved: "Just count the chips and see how much you won, Mr. Lei."
Lei Huanxi calculated his chips: "No need to forget about the fraction. I won a total of 3 million pounds, and each of you lost to me 1 million pounds."
After scrubbing, the three old men's cold sweat came down.
It was only a matter of time that he lost 3 million pounds to Lei Huanxi?
This guy even said that he can’t play mahjong?
This guy plays mahjong so amazingly.
This guy is just here to grab money!
Mr. Barnes forced a smile:
Chapter completed!
