Chapter 472: Going All In is a Kind of Wisdom

Zheng Qian looked at Wei Rusi suspiciously, his face stern, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Tell me the truth, did you buy some strange 'toy' behind my back? Did you buy it domestically, or did you buy it here? It shouldn't be possible in the country... You would worry about the security screen seeing it. I get it, did Lindsay bring it for you?"

"Is the remote control with you? Or can she control it remotely? Playing so wild?"

The way she was shaking non-stop was very... very suspicious.

Wei Rusi finally recovered. She glared fiercely at Zheng Qian, though her cheeks flushed even redder.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just felt it was too funny!"

"Eyes full of wisdom... Hahahaha, now that you put it that way, I think his eyes look pretty wise right now. I really don't know how your tongue is so slick, talking nonsense like a train; are you planning to take a postgraduate entrance exam?"

Zheng Qian sighed slightly.

He thought it was because of the "toy", but it turned out it was just because of his own string of quips.

"Heh, 'All-in is a kind of wisdom'? You must be kidding me. My family has always taught me that when it's time to go all-in, you certainly shouldn't be afraid, but you can't go all-in on everything, or how much family wealth would be enough to squander? 7.5 billion USD? I call!"

"7.8 billion!" Lu Xiting said, clenching his teeth tightly.

Zheng Qian sighed again.

It seems this Lu Xiting really did grow up abroad and doesn't understand some domestic internet memes. At the same time, the reason for his sigh was also that Lu Xiting was really not dashing enough; after all that, he only added 300 million?

Actually, it's not really that Lu Xiting is incompetent; 300 million USD is already quite a lot, especially on top of 7.5 billion.

Converted to domestic Jiu Zhou currency, that's already over 20 billion.

Zheng Qian flicked his cigarette ash and looked at Lu Xiting with disappointment. "You went through all that psychological preparation, refuted our country's most famous 'All-in Wisdom Theory', and were gnashing your teeth, only to raise it by 300 million? With this, you want to talk about marriage with the beautiful Monica? I'll name a number: 8.8 billion, for good luck."

"Huff... Huff..."

Hmm? Right after he finished speaking, Zheng Qian couldn't help but look around.

Is there a leak somewhere?

So this yacht hasn't even been bought yet, and it's already showing signs of leaking? What should he do in the future? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel some regret. It was an item worth over 8 billion USD after all; he didn't want to be a sucker.

In the words of a certain national husband, I have money, but I'm not stupid.

After looking for a long while, he realized it was Lu Xiting, who was breathing heavily.

His old face was flushed red.

If anyone had him, they wouldn't even need to buy a blower.

"Are you serious? 8.8 billion USD, not just grandstanding or joking?" Lu Xiting couldn't even smoke his cigar properly, his fingers trembling slightly, looking very much like the early signs of Parkinson's.

Zheng Qian nodded slightly, frowning as he said, "Why are you so long-winded?"

"Hahahaha! Good, this is truly interesting!"

Pierce's hands continued to exert force on the two girls' thighs, then suddenly pulled away and began to clap. "Zheng! I rarely see Lu Xiting so deflated; it's truly wonderful! After this is over, please allow me to visit your yacht!"

Zheng Qian smiled and nodded, then waved his hand.

He naturally put his arm around Wei Rusi's fragrant shoulders. "It's not my yacht; it's hers."

As he said this, he was somewhat reluctant to take his hand away. Even though there was clothing in between, he could still feel the slippery tactile feedback; he truly couldn't bear to move it, really not wanting to shift.

Perhaps because she had been molested by Zheng Qian too many times today, Wei Rusi had become somewhat numb.

She not only didn't speak up to stop him, but didn't even twist her body to break free.

Because she knew that even if she said something, it would be useless.

Numb.

Isabella's originally extremely cold expression finally fluctuated due to Zheng Qian's several price increases. Beneath that iceberg-like face, her eyes flashed with something intriguing, and perhaps... even a trace of gratitude?

Wei Rusi was very sensitive to women and captured this in an instant.

She immediately became vigilant, like a brother protecting food... no, that's not right, like a mother hen protecting food.

"Alright, stop cosplaying as a blower here. It's already very cool on the sea surface; stop blowing air continuously. Like a man, 8.8 billion, are you following or not?"

Zheng Qian took a deep puff of his cigarette and said impatiently.

Lu Xiting didn't want to be like this either; it was just that his heart was beating too hard, and if he didn't exhale, it would be difficult to calm down.

He put down his phone and closed his eyes slightly to consider. Just now, he had requested instructions from his family for the first time. 8.8 billion USD was already far beyond their original cost plan; it was a huge number.

He could grit his teeth and come up with this money, but the consequences would be dire.

No abundant liquid funds meant that their ability to resist risks would decrease, becoming very weak.

But...

If he could move Monica's family because of this, it would be worth it.

"9.5 billion."

It was clear that when Lu Xiting said these words, his face was terrifyingly pale. His family had really gone all out; to raise this money, they would likely have to use a lot of family resources, and even trouble some precious connections.

Some connections are only useful for saving one's life at critical moments, but for Monica, he decided to go for it.

A desperate gamble, all... in!

He couldn't help but be stunned; had he really gone all-in, just as Zheng Qian said?

It seems he was right... All-in is indeed a kind of wisdom. This feeling of surviving after being placed in a desperate situation was truly wonderful. In that instant, he realized the true philosophy of life represented behind going all-in.

He smiled with relief.

Leaning back in his chair, sucking deeply on his cigar, he was sure he would win this round.

A certain female crew member on the scene felt that Lu Xiting's expression was too handsome. Taking advantage of the fact that the anti-paparazzi system hadn't been activated, she couldn't help but quietly take out her phone and take a picture.

It was just that she didn't expect this photo to circulate later and be selected by prestigious acting schools like Beijing Film Academy and Yale School of Drama. His expression at this moment vividly interpreted a person's true performance in such a complex situation.

He also very gracefully lifted the finger holding the cigar slightly.

Signaling the other party: It's your turn.

"I have to admit, you have indeed grasped the essence of going all-in. But, it's not enough. You know, your family has so much money, it definitely isn't just because of you; it's wealth accumulated over at least several generations."

"And before you were born, your father didn't squander the family fortune but earned even more, which shows he is very capable."

"But sometimes people don't know how excellent they really are. Your father is very strong, but he can be stronger. If you don't give your parents a little pressure, they might not even know how much potential they still have."

"I'll help you out, turn up the heat on your parents: 12 billion."
