Hello 1983

  Chapter 873 A gamble is born

  Since someone challenged the challenge in the newspaper, the attention of the media immediately focused on Liu Qingshan.

   There was no need for Liu Qingshan to summon reporters. As soon as he left the villa, he was surrounded by reporters.

  The reporters were fighting at both ends, and began to paraphrase Looney Rockefeller and Tony Getty's satirical remarks about Liu Qingshan.

  The young master Looney spoke the harshest words, claiming that what Liu Qingshan did was a layman at all, using extremely backward equipment to do extremely stupid things.

   This time not only ridiculed Liu Qingshan, but also the country behind him.

   There is also Mr. Tony, who is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He laughed at Liu Qingshan and said that if he has money for drilling indiscriminately, he might as well keep a few lovers.

   It seems that this guy is inherited from his grandfather in this respect. After all, Mr. Paul Getty once publicly announced that he has a hundred mistresses.

  Facing the reporters’ fanning the flames, Liu Qingshan was as clear as a mirror in his heart, but he kept a smile on his face all the time, and nodded from time to time while listening, as if he agreed.

  After the reporters had finished speaking, Liu Qingshan said with a smile:

  "I don't want to argue with the other party. I just like to speak with actions. No matter what Looney or Tony is, if you have the guts, take actual actions."

   Probably felt a little lack of energy, Liu Qingshan added: "We have a proverb in China, a dog that can bark does not bite people. Please pass it on to those gentlemen for me, all reporters."

  Wow, this Mr. Mountain is really not afraid of things!

  The reporters were overjoyed when they heard it. Isn't this what they hoped to see?

  The current situation is that when Liu Qingshan makes a challenge, it depends on whether the opponent dares to fight.

  The reporters were all satisfied and left. After they conveyed Liu Qingshan's words in full, Looney immediately charged:

   "I want to teach that arrogant guy an unforgettable lesson!"

  The reporters are bad enough: "Mr. Looney, you can't always fight in the air. Can the two sides work together and discuss this matter?"

   There were reporters mediating, but the weight was still not enough, and then Xiao Li was pulled out as a middleman.

   Who told him to know both sides well? He usually plays with people like Looney.

   Xiao Li was still not very happy: "Liu, I still want to join your camp and earn some pocket money with you."

   This kid is very smart. Anyway, in his impression, Liu Qingshan has never lost a bet.

  It will be much smoother if someone takes the lead. Xiao Li is going to host a reception to bring both parties and the media together.

  Xiao Li is also generous, directly booking a bar and spreading hero posts.

  Not only the city of Los Angeles, but the younger generation in the rich circle of the entire United States, most of them received invitations to come to participate in the grand event.

   This kind of thing is really attractive. Even if you don't participate in the betting, being a witness is also a good choice.

  That night, Liu Qingshan and Wu Tong were also present.

  As the initiator, Xiao Li naturally stood at the door to greet the guests. When he saw Liu Qingshan, he immediately offered a warm hug.

  While hugging, he still leaned into Liu Qingshan's ear and whispered: "It seems to be a bit big."

  Liu Qingshan smiled and replied: "Then I can earn more?"

  The two laughed together. In this case, even if Xiao Li wanted to participate, Liu Qingshan could not agree.

  Because in that case, Xiao Li has offended a large number of people; but Liu Qingshan, a foreigner, is not afraid.

  Wait into the bar, looking around, they are all young men and women, all of them are dressed luxuriously, behave elegantly, and are full of a strong atmosphere of luxury in the upper class.

   All forces are surprisingly consistent this time, and they all send the younger generation to participate.

   Think about it, even if you are frustrated, it can be attributed to young people who like to play around. If you lose a bet, you lose, which is equivalent to children playing around.

  If the helm of the family is also involved, the nature will be different.

  When Liu Qingshan entered the arena, he immediately attracted all the eyes in the bar, and everyone, intentionally or not, focused their attention on him.

   "Every young talent, it is a pleasure to meet you, thank you for your appreciation."

  Liu Qingshan had a pleasant smile, but in the eyes of these rich and famous ladies, he seemed to be very embarrassed, as if he welcomed them to send money.

   But this kind of thinking is just thinking about it in their heads. Although they haven't seen Mr. Mountain's fighting power in person, they are not something they can provoke, even the well-trained bodyguards they lead.

   It is not an exaggeration to say that even if they are all rich kids, they might not be able to beat him alone.

  So everyone is a civilized person, or a civilized person with status and wealth, so don't be so barbaric.

  As the intermediary, Xiao Li naturally had to introduce in the middle: "This is Mr. Mountain, so I don't need to introduce too much; Liu, this is Luke Rockefeller."

  Liu Qingshan looked at the man in front of him, he was quite handsome, a bit like Xiao Lizi when he was young.

   It's the haughty look on his face, which is a bit annoying.

  So he nodded at the other party: "Mr. Luke, I have known your name for a long time. Speaking of it, I still envy you very much. You can have the foundation and reputation left by your ancestors. Unlike me, everything is done by yourself, hahaha."

   These words are actually quite annoying. It is clear that people are relying on the power of the family, and they have no ability.

  Of course, there was a trace of anger on Looney's face, but he was well-educated and he was afraid of Liu Qingshan's combat power, so he didn't get angry, he just laughed:

   "Mr. Mountain is too polite. I heard that you have just obtained a doctorate. Of course you are not the kind of nouveau riche."

  Both of them talked with guns and sticks, so Xiao Li hurriedly continued to introduce: "Liu, this is Tony Getty."

   Liu Qingshan looked at this one, he really looked as ugly as his grandfather, with a hooked nose and a sharp face, with a mean look.

   Besides, Liu Qingshan purposely looked at each other's ears, um, they were both there.

   Immediately, he wasn't even interested in shaking hands, so he nodded slightly: "Tony, you are a lucky guy, at least you kept your ears."

  Liu Qingshan is not here to make friends, so of course he can’t pick up nice words, and if he makes the other party angry, he can earn more money.

   These days, money is hard to come by.

  Being exposed by Liu Qingshan when he came up, Tony's eyes almost burst into flames. That incident was a disgrace to their family, and no one was allowed to mention it in front of him.

  But this guy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth dares to expose his scars in person.

  Tony clenched his fists, really wanting to punch Liu Qingshan's face that deserved a punch.

  However, he didn't dare to be impulsive in the end. After all, the person opposite had the nickname "Iron Man". Don't break his own fist.

  But this breath was absolutely unbearable, Tony snorted coldly: "Mr. Mountain, you can't be so lucky every time, you should protect your own head."

   "Don't care."

  Liu Qingshan laughed loudly, and in his aura, he completely crushed these wealthy sons who usually call the wind and rain.

   Afterwards, Xiao Li introduced several people to Liu Qingshan, all of whom were descendants of famous big families. These people might be cold-hearted, or greeted with smiles, and their attitudes were also different.

   "Oh, Mr. Mountain, can you sign me?"

  A sweet smile came, and accompanied by a gust of fragrant wind, a lady with an enchanting figure appeared in front of Liu Qingshan.

  Xiao Li introduced: "This is Miss Marilyn Kennedy."

  As soon as Liu Qingshan heard her surname, she knew that this must be a member of the Kennedy family. People in this family are not normal, so it is better not to provoke her.

   So Liu Qingshan spread his hands: "Sorry, Ms. Marilyn, I'm not a star."

   "You are the big star in my heart." Marilyn glanced at Liu Qingshan, and then took out a tube of lipstick:

   "Mr. Mountain, just use this signature, your name is Shan Feng, of course you know where to sign, right?"

   This guy probably forgot to take his medicine, no, he must have taken too much medicine, right?

  Liu Qingshan knew that the descendants of this family all liked to take medicine, so some of them were sentenced to prison or ate themselves to death.

  So he took Wu Tong's arm: "If Miss Marilyn doesn't mind, my girlfriend can do it for me."

   "Of course I don't mind, because I also like beautiful ladies."

  The other party is not taboo about meat and vegetables, now Liu Qingshan is really defeated, he dragged Wu Tong to leave quickly, such a dangerous woman must stay away.

   Today's occasion is naturally not drinking and chatting.

  Looney took the lead in provoking the dispute: "Mr. Mountain, do you count what you said in the newspaper?"

   At this time, the arrow is on the string, and of course Liu Qingshan can't be cowardly: "Haha, everyone, how can a man go back on his word? If you are interested, you can join this game!"

   Regardless of winning or losing, this kind of momentum alone makes people have to admire.

   No one has this kind of courage when facing the children of these big families.

  So those representatives of the family's children who were originally spectators automatically adjusted the status of Mr. Mountain to a higher level in their hearts.

  They are all sent by the family to observe, and will not really participate in it, and even at some point, they will choose to cooperate with Liu Qingshan.

   After all, the family is also a war without gunpowder.

  Similarly, those families who choose to stand out also have the purpose of suppressing Liu Qingshan.

  The trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them. This is their territory, and no one is allowed to come in and stir up the wind and rain.

  In the final analysis, everything is still dictated by interests. In this vortex of interests, no one can be alone.

   Seeing Liu Qingshan's powerful momentum, these people headed by Lu Ni will naturally not be willing to bow down.

  噢噢噌, five young people belonging to different family forces stood up and stood against Liu Qingshan.

   Soon, under the witness of the reporter, a gamble was born.

  Liu Qingshan fought alone, while the opposing camp, headed by Lu Ni, a total of five young people made a bet with Liu Qingshan.

  Liu Qingshan never refuses anyone who comes, isn’t it just 500 million US dollars, he can still afford it.

   However, there are still restrictions on the terms: it is required that ten drilling wells must be drilled within two years, otherwise, you Liu Qingshan will drill wells forever, who will accompany you to play?

  The second is to limit the reserves of oil fields.

  According to the classification standards of the United States, grade A reserves are greater than 50 million barrels.

  B grade, the reserves are between 25 million and 50 million barrels, descending in descending order.

   It is stated in the bet that the reserves must reach grade B or above.

  These main clauses are actually quite fair, so Liu Qingshan signed his name without hesitation.

  The five people on the opposite side, also unambiguous, also signed their names with the confidence of winning.

  In a flash of light, the bet officially came into effect.

   This is the first time Liu Qingshan has been besieged since he landed in North America.

   To him, the significance is extraordinary: at least it proves that Liu Qingshan at this time has grown to such an extent that some forces feel uneasy.

  In the final analysis, the essence of this matter is to exclude dissidents.

  Then, the situation Liu Qingshan faces will definitely become more and more unfavorable.

  Liu Qingshan has long been prepared for this: those developed countries have always been like this. With the advantage of foresight, he has the confidence to deal with the other party.

  The next day, almost all major newspapers in the United States rushed to report on this matter, and it became a topic that people talked about.

   To Liu Qingshan's expectation, the public's reaction did not appear to be one-sided. On the contrary, nearly half of the people supported him, an outsider.

  It seems that the reputation of these big families in the United States is not as good as expected.

  Among the din, someone was concentrating on studying Liu Qingshan’s thesis, and then chose to silently start betting on the oil futures market.

  Of course, some people do the opposite and carry out reverse operations, which is also a big gamble.

  Liu Qingshan is really a wonderful thing. Every time he comes to this country, he always attracts the attention of the public and creates topics.

   This also shows that his influence is constantly improving.

  However, this bet also caused some negative effects. For example, the stock price of Earth Network fell for several days in a row.

  It seems that most investors are still not optimistic that Liu Qingshan can win. After all, some oil companies have already conducted explorations in Liland's sea area, and no large oil fields have been found.

  They don't believe that miracles can be created with the equipment and methods of the Huaxia exploration ship that have been several generations behind.

  Liu Qingshan is not superstitious: Foreign countries still said that China was an oil-poor country, but they still discovered the Daqing Oilfield and slapped those foreign experts hard.

  The same is true on the Liland side. A large oil field with large reserves was discovered in later generations.

  As for the previous exploration of Western oil companies, it is estimated that they drilled a few wells wherever they went, and they came to wrong conclusions.

  Facts speak louder than words, so Liu Qingshan has absolute confidence.

  This time, Liu Qingshan didn't think too much about the money gains from the bet.

  What he wanted was to slap each other hard and warn them not to look at people with colored glasses anymore.

  Amid all the turmoil, Liu Qingshan calmly went to the Los Angeles District Court to participate in the lawsuit against the NSA.

   This is also a battlefield without gunpowder.
