Blackstone Code

Chapter 401: Play 1

The bright room was filled with a strong strange smell, which was a mixture of perfume, cigarettes, and Corove.

Say it smells, but it doesn't smell good.

But if it smells bad, you can still smell some fragrance.

Unknowingly, the sky had dimmed a bit, and Richard was not as energetic as he expected at this time, but frowned.

The chip box next to him has been emptied three times. This is the fourth time he has exchanged chips. Each time he has exchanged two thousand dollars. In a short period of time, he has already exchanged eight thousand dollars, and the box in front of him seems to be too. It won't last long.

He looked down at the three cards in front of him. The smoke from the cigarette in his mouth smoked his eyes. He blinked and rubbed his eyes, swallowed, and his throat hurt.

He took a sip of the wine glass, and then pressed the wine glass on the card.

"Mr. Richard, don't you take a look?" A gentleman asked casually. He took the three cards in front of him and held them in his hand, took a quick glance, and then re-covered his own. In front of him, he picked up a few black chips and threw them in the betting area, "raise, two hundred."

"I believe in my own eyes more than I believe in my own feelings!" He seemed to remind him kindly, but this sentence was regarded by Richard as a trap, an offensive strategy.

Looking at cards in such a game is not a smart choice. Most fights between card types are limited to some "small cards".

It is not so easy to get three cards that can form a big card in a whole deck of cards. Most of the time, they are small cards.

Small cards mean that looking at cards will bring great pressure, even if the opponent's card is smaller than you, you will be timid and afraid.

The phrase ignorant and fearless is the most appropriate to use here, because if you don’t look at the cards and firmly believe that you will be able to catch the big cards, then the pressure will be transferred to those who look at the cards.

Sometimes there is no need to show the card, just follow it, you can make those who read the card take the initiative to "jump".

Jumping is a kind of belonging. It represents an evasive behavior. It also means that the players have lost their cards. They choose to admit defeat in this round. Naturally, the chips they put into the betting area before have nothing to do with them.

After a round, someone gave up, someone followed up, and the card sequence came around Richard again.

He pursed his mouth, picked up a one-hundred dollar bargaining chip and threw it on the table, "Calling..."

"It seems our friend is very confident!" The poker player sitting opposite Richard also laughed and teased.

Betting round after round, from five people to four people, three people...

"Here is a box of chips..." It was Richard's turn to place a bet again. He touched the chip box beside him, but it was empty. He had to take out the check and sign another one and hand it to the waiter. pregnancy.

The waiter quickly brought him a box of chips, two thousand dollars. These small round slices represent wealth here, isn't it amazing?

He hesitated for a few seconds, took out a thousand yuan of chips and threw it into the betting area, slightly mocking with a hint of unpleasantness, "One hundred and one hundred is too slow, one thousand."

With the presence of three people, the game will never be over. I don’t know if Richard’s taunting played a role, or his crazy betting that he didn’t even look at the cards made people hesitate. In short, the person sitting next to him was lost. Cards in hand.

This also means that he had bet thousands of dollars before, and he shook his head and threw the card to the discard zone with a sigh.

The person sitting across from Richard glanced at the hill-like chips piled in the middle of the table, and asked softly, "It's terrible, I think it should end here!"

He pushed the chips in front of him into the betting area and the game was over. He used more chips to end the game. Richard did not need to invest any more chips. The two only need to compare the cards in each other’s hands. .

The gentleman sitting opposite Richard turned the card over casually, "A pair, Mr. Richard!"

"Next is the moment for our Mr. Blind to perform!"

"Blind" refers to the cards that Richard is covering, the cards that have been turned over are normal people, which means that they can see, and the cards that have not been turned over are like blind people, and they can't see anything.

Richard held the cards in both hands and pressed his elbows on the table. He lowered his head, leaned his hands close, and opened the first card, the second card, and the third card in a very awkward and uncomfortable posture!

A classic **** erupted from his mouth. He slammed the card on the table. He was also a pair, but it was the smallest pair. He lost.

After more than three hours in the afternoon, he lost 9,000 yuan. The rate of losing money today set a new record for him. He was a little irritable and wanted to light a cigarette, but found that there was nothing in the cigarette pack.

"Give me a pack of cigarettes!" He clenched the empty box in his hand into a ball and threw it on the ground fiercely. Losing money made him very irritable.

Just when the waiter was about to get the cigarettes, he stopped him again, "Forget it, I will buy it myself and collect my chips."

No cigarettes are sold here, including drinks. They are not for sale, but the owner of this house invites the guests to use it for free.

The federal government has a strict standard system. Only business premises that have licenses to sell tobacco and alcohol can sell these two things. Business premises that can sell these two things have a slightly higher tax rate than ordinary business premises.

Richard pushed out the door, and the hot wind outside the door calmed him a little, and he suddenly realized that he was too impulsive.

That's for sure, he was too impulsive. If he saw the cards a few laps in advance, even if he would lose, he would not lose so much.

He was influenced by these **** in successive failures. In the last round, he was not playing cards, but vindictive, betting that his luck was better than others.

But like the gentleman opposite him said, a person with open eyes will never be afraid of a blind person, so his loss is inevitable.

"A pack of cigarettes...", he walked to a shop and pointed to the kind of cigarette he liked, paid for it, and stood in front of the shop and lit one.

After a puff of cigarette, an annoying feeling of anxiety slowly radiated from his chest. He only took two puffs and dropped the cigarette on the ground.

On the way back, he ordered another one, and his hand was shaking a little, and he lost too much today.

Since he was obsessed with this gambling game, he has never made money as fast as he can lose money. Even if he knows that this kind of money loss may not be normal, he has no clear evidence to prove that others are in the game. Doing tricks.

Sometimes he will win, and he still wins big money, ten to twenty thousand, or even two to thirty thousand he has won!

However, the number of losses recently was so great that he had to encroach on a portion of the company's revenue to fill his financial vacancy, only part of it.

For someone who is looking for money, it is not difficult to take advantage of the loopholes to make money, and this is not the first time he did it. In fact, when he was in Curryland, he had already tried to get under Lynch’s eyelids. Operate some small means to make money.

His method is actually very simple, the company auction will have a printed manual, there will be some auction items and starting prices in the manual.

By observing his words, he will find some customers who have a strong demand for a certain product, but cannot afford to pay for a short time, to conduct private transactions.

He will figure out how to get those products out, and then sell them to these customers to get benefits from them, and then use a very low price to buy similar products to shoddy, arrange for his own photos, and then wait for quality. Reason for return.

This method is very secretive. Even if it is checked, it is just that some products have been returned due to quality reasons. No one would have thought that there were other things in it.

As for doing tricks directly from the accounts, Richard did not think about it, but finally gave up because this method of operation is too difficult.

There will be at least two accountants in every city, and they are all under Wei La. It is difficult for them to be bought at the same time. Compared to doing tricks on the accounts, it is not as easy to use as his set of methods.

But this method is not impeccable. Too many valuable products are returned to the headquarters due to quality problems, which will definitely cause confusion in the headquarters.

Once someone is sent over there to investigate carefully, Richard will definitely not be able to escape as the supervisor here, so he must dispose of those fake and shoddy products.

The only way to deal with it is to reduce the price. This is some of the problems Vila discovered. Every time the capital is auctioned there are not too many deposits, but the sales price does not match the price assessed by the headquarters, and there are often unplanned events. The decrease of ~lightnovelpub.net~ I really want to say that there are any obvious loopholes, but I can't find it. The starting price and transaction price of each item are clear at a glance. Except for the decrease in total revenue, other things are really invisible. What a big problem.

There was no problem with this method before. At that time, the second-hand commodity trading fair had just started, and the transaction amount every week was able to reach new highs.

But with so many auctions held so many times, the heat has gradually dropped. No one could notice that there was a decrease of 12,000 to 20,000 in the previous week, and the difference between 310,000 and 330,000 was not much.

Now that the transaction volume is down, it is easy to be detected if it is too small. He has stopped more than 14,000 yuan from it last week, and if he does it again, he may be found out.

But he had to do that again. His mansion, luxury car, his subordinates, and the socializing between him and some local socialites, to maintain such a glorious life would never be possible without money, plus his current gambling. addiction……

After entering the room again, Richard made a decision. Today is... the last time I gambled this month. Whether he wins or loses, he will leave here immediately after another five thousand losses. He has made up his mind.

He walked into the room, a little surprised, a stranger was sitting at the table, the guy turned his back.

He doesn't like this kind of people who join the card game halfway, which will make his luck bad. For example, the cards that could have been dealt to him will be dealt to other people, thereby reducing his chances of winning.

But it was not opened by his house, and he was not qualified to ask everyone to do anything. The only thing he could do was to leave. He had already lost enough.

Just when he asked the waiter to check out for him, the person sitting at the table with his back turned to him suddenly asked, "Don't you come and play?"

Hearing this voice, Richard froze in place.

Yes……

Lynch!
