After lunch, Professor Wang suggested continuing playing cards before Victor could even say anything. This was what Victor had in mind, but he was shy to say it.
Professor Wang wanted to win some money back. He was unlucky in the morning, and his luck should improve in the afternoon. But it was weird that he did not get any good cards in the morning. Even if he got 20, the banker would get 21. He was really down on his luck.
The translator and the chief of the bodyguards were also very unlucky. Feng Yu’s luck was so-so. Although he had lost a bit, he was still playing happily. He does not seem to mind losing tens of thousands USD.
Victor was the winner in the morning, and his assistant had also won some.
When Professor Wang and the rest lost over 100,000 USD, Feng Yu felt it was enough. There were also no more new cards on board.
“Everyone is tired. Let’s take a break. There are laptops on the tables. You all can play video games, watch TV or take a nap. The crew will call you when dinner is ready.”
Victor agreed. He had won enough and had wanted to stop playing. After winning so much, he was afraid of losing his winnings back. Victor’s assistant was not as lucky as Victor. He had only won slightly over 10,000 USD. Victor had won more than 300,000 USD!
Winning so much from 400 USD bets per game proved how lucky Victor was!
But was Victor really so lucky? Of course not. This was all because of the dealer.
The dealer was not really a dealer. He was a magician, specializing in cards tricks. Feng Yu had told him to let Victor win and let Professor Wang, his translator and the head of bodyguards lose. He, himself also have to lose.
This was all a plot. A trap set for Victor.
Victor happily watched a movie on the latest model of Lenovo laptop. This was a laptop produced by the Chinese? Since when has China become so advanced? Victor still thought this was an IBM laptop! China is getting more and more developed.
Professor Wang’s face was twitching. He did not expect his luck to be so bad in the afternoon. Although Feng Yu had said that he does not need to pay him back, but if he won, he could keep the winnings. How come he was so unlucky? This blackjack should be a game of probability and luck. Although he was trained in Chemistry, his math was much better than average people.
The translator and the bodyguard also pulled a long face as they watch a movie. The translator even went to a corner for a smoke before taking a nap.
Victor was observing them. It seems that the people around Feng Yu loves money.
But Feng Yu treated them well. From Feng Yu’s tone, he does not seems to be asking them to pay him back. But all of them will owe Feng Yu a favor. Each of them had lost more than 100,000 USD. This was not a small amount.
Maybe I could make use of them to know what does Mr. Feng wants.
Victor smiles.
After dinner, everyone returned to their seats to rest. The stewardess woke them up when they were about to land.
It was midnight when they left the Airport. Although Feng Yu does not have any companies in New York, the Fu Family have. That’s why there were people there to fetch him. The staffs in New York made arrangements based on Feng Yu’s requirements. Feng Yu wanted the best treatment.
Victor thought Feng Yu had some connections with the mafias in the US. There were too many people at the airport waiting for him. Even the CEO of Pfizer do not get such treatments.
“I will be staying at the Hilton hotel. I hope to meet the person-in-charge of your R&D tomorrow afternoon.” Feng Yu told Victor.
“No problem. If our CEO is not outstation, he will surely meet up with you. I will contact you tomorrow morning.” The CEO was not overseas. He only felt he didn’t have to meet Feng Yu. After all, they were trying to cheat Feng Yu.
If everything was handled by his men, and when something happens, he could let his men take the blame. But if the CEO were to meet Feng Yu, then everything was different. Anything happens, the share prices will drop, and the company’s reputation will be affected.
At Hilton Hotel, Feng Yu called Professor Wang, his translator and the head of the bodyguards over to remind them the things to look out for.
This purpose of this trip was to buy formula. Everything else was not important. As long as they could get this formula, it’s a success. All of them will be rewarded. But if they could not get this formula, Feng Yu would be pissed. They would have wasted their time!
All of them acknowledged and said they will do their best to support Feng Yu. But all of them does not understand why Feng Yu needs them to prepare. But Feng Yu told them that there might be someone approaching them to bribe them. He asked them to just accept the bribes and inform him. Feng Yu will have further instructions for them.
As to why would people want to bribe them, some of them knew the reason, and some do not. The one who did not understand why someone would bribe him was Professor Wang.
……
At 8 in the morning, Victor went to his company to meet the CEO. He didn’t even have the time to cuddle with his wife.
If this deal were a success, he would have all the time to cuddle with his wife slowly.
“Mr. George, Mr. Feng, and his team had arrived. But, weirdly, Mr. Feng had brought a team of bodyguards, a team of medical researchers and a team of translators. He did not bring any negotiation team with him.” Victor reported.
This was not normal for business deals that involve a large amount. Usually, a negotiation team of at least 4 to 5 members was needed. Could this Mr. Feng want to negotiate the deal himself?
But this was possible. Feng Yu does not look like he lacks money, and there was a possibility that his translator and the medical experts were part of his negotiation team.
“What is the possibility of him buying our formulas during this trip?” George asked.
“Very high. He even chartered a plane and brought so many people along with him. If he is not willing to buy, he will not waste his time coming to New York. I am confident that he will surely buy our research data and we can sell those data for a high price!” Victor replied, confidently.
“Good. I will ask the rest to follow your instructions. But you must make sure to clinch this deal. Our reputation will be affected if others knew that we sold our failed products to others.” George replied.
Victor also knew that if Feng Yu found out the truth, this blame will fall on him. But he was sure that no one will discover. Once the formulas were sold, he will be able to gain more benefits.
Victor only needs to make sure that nothing goes wrong now, and once Feng Yu brought the research data and formulas back to China, Pfizer can refuse to admit anything. It’s your problem if the medicine you produce from our data is useless. When you sell these formulas to you, we have told you that these are all half-finished products.
“Rest assured, Mr. George. I will make sure this deal will go on smoothly. I am confident!” Victor remembered the look on Professor Wang and the rest when they lost money on board the plane. If all else fails, he can bribe one or two of them!
