Blackstone Code Chapter 401: Play 1
The bright room is filled with a strong odour, a combination of perfume, cigarettes, Coleuf and the like.
Say it smells good, but it doesn't actually smell good.
But to say it stinks, you can still smell some fragrance.
Unconsciously, the sky had dimmed a little. Richard was not as high-spirited as he expected at this time, but his brows were furrowed.
The chip box beside him has been emptied three times. This is the fourth time he has exchanged chips. Each time it is 2,000 yuan. In a short period of time, he has exchanged 8,000 yuan of chips. These don't seem to last long.
He looked down at the three cards in front of him. The smoke from the cigarette in his mouth was a little smoky. He blinked a few times, rubbed his eyes, swallowed, and his throat hurt.
He took a sip from the glass, then pressed the glass to the card.
"Mr. Richard, don't you have a look?", a gentleman asked casually. He picked up the three cards in front of him and clasped them in his hands, glanced at them quickly, and then re-folded them. In front of him, he picked up a few black chips and threw them in the betting area, "Raise, two hundred."
"I trust my eyes more than I trust my 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, and most fights between card types are limited to a few "small cards".
It's not easy to get three cards that make a big card in a whole deck, most of the time it's a low card.
Small hands, which means looking at the cards will bring a lot of pressure, even if the opponent's hand is smaller than you, you will be timid and afraid.
The phrase ignorant is fearless is most appropriate here, because instead of looking at the cards and believing that they will definitely catch the big cards, the pressure is transferred to those who look at the cards.
Sometimes you don't need to show your cards, just follow, you can make those who see the cards take the initiative to "jump".
Jumping is a kind of belonging, it represents an evasion behavior, and it also means that the player has lost the card in his hand, they choose to admit defeat in this round, and the chips they put into the betting area before naturally have nothing to do with them .
After turning around, someone gave up, someone followed up, and the card sequence came to Richard again.
He pursed his lips, picked up a chip representing a hundred dollars and threw it on the table, "Calling..."
"It seems that our friends are very confident!", the player sitting opposite Richard also laughed and joked.
A round of betting, from five to four to three...
"Here's a box of chips...", it was Richard's turn to bet again, he touched the chip box beside him, it was empty, he had to take out a check and sign another one, and hand it over the waiter.
The waiter quickly brought him a whole box of chips, 2,000 yuan, and these round little slices represent wealth here. It's amazing, isn't it?
He hesitated for a few seconds, then took out a thousand-dollar chip and threw it into the betting area, sneering slightly, "One hundred and one hundred is too slow, one thousand yuan."
The game will never end with three people on the field. I don't know if Richard's taunting played a role, or whether it was his crazy betting that he didn't even look at the cards so far. Man loses the card in his hand.
This also means that he had been betting thousands of dollars before, and he shook his head and threw his cards to the discard zone, sighing.
The person sitting across from Richard glanced at the hill of chips in the middle of the table and asked softly, "It's horrible, I think it's time to stop!"
He pushes the chips in front of him into the betting area, the hand is over, he ends the game with more chips, Richard doesn't need to put any more chips, the two just need to compare each other's hands The card will do.
The gentleman sitting opposite Richard casually turned over the cards, "A pair, Mr. Richard!"
"It's time for our Mr. Blind to perform!"
"Blind" refers to Richard's overlaid cards. The turned cards are normal people who can see, while the unturned cards are like blind people and can't see anything.
Richard holds cards in both hands, elbows on the table, head bowed, hands close together, and in a very awkward position, he flips over the first card, the second card, and the third card Cards!
A classic **** burst out of his mouth as he slammed his cards on the table, he was also a pair, but the smallest pair and he lost.
In more than three hours in the afternoon, he lost 9,000 yuan. Today, the speed of losing money has once again refreshed his previous record. He was a little irritable and wanted to light a cigarette, but found that there was nothing in the cigarette case. .
"Give me a pack of cigarettes!" He clenched the empty box in his hand into a ball and threw it on the ground. Losing money made him very irritable.
Just when the waiter was about to get the cigarettes, he stopped him again, "Forget it, I'll buy it myself and collect my chips."
There are no cigarettes, including alcohol, for sale here. They are not for sale, but the owner of the house invites the guests to use them for free tasting.
The Federation has a strict standard system. Only establishments with licenses to sell tobacco and alcohol can sell these two kinds of things, and establishments that can sell these two kinds of things will be taxed slightly more than ordinary establishments. higher.
Richard pushed the door open. The hot wind outside made him calm down a little. He suddenly realized that he was too impulsive.
That's for sure, he's too impulsive, if he sees his cards a few laps early, he'll lose, but not so much.
He's been affected by these **** in successive defeats, and this last round he's not playing cards, but fighting gas, betting that his luck is better than others.
But as the gentleman across from him said, a man with open eyes is never afraid of a blind man, so his loss is inevitable.
"A pack of cigarettes..." He walked to a store and pointed to the kind of cigarette he liked, paid for it, and lit one at the door of the store.
As soon as the cigarette went down, an annoying and restless feeling slowly spread from his chest. He just took two puffs and threw the cigarette on the ground.
On the way back, he lit another one, and his hands trembled a little. He lost too much today.
Since he was addicted to this gambling game, he has never made money as fast as he lost, even though he knew that this kind of losing might not be normal, but he had no clear proof that others were Played tricks in the game.
Sometimes he also wins, and he still wins big money, ten thousand or twenty thousand, or even twenty or thirty thousand!
However, he has lost so many times recently that he had to embezzle some of the company's earnings to fill his financial vacancy, just part of it.
For a man who wants money, it's not difficult to get money, and this is not the first time he has done it. In fact, when he was in Curryland, he had already tried it in Lynch's There are some small tricks under the eyelid to make money.
His approach is actually very simple, the company auction will have a printed brochure with some auction items and starting prices.
By observing his words, he will find some customers who have a strong demand for a certain product, but can't pay for it in a short period of time, and conduct private transactions.
He will find a way to get those products out, sell them to these customers, get benefits from them, and then use a very low price to buy similar products that are shoddy, arrange for their own people to take pictures, and then Return for quality reasons.
This method is very secretive. Even if it is investigated, it is just that some products have been returned due to quality reasons. No one will think that there are other things in it.
As for the direct manipulation of the account, Richard did not consider it, but finally gave up because this method of operation is too difficult.
There will be at least two accountants in each city, and they are both Vila's subordinates. It is difficult for them to be bought at the same time. Compared with manipulating the account, his method is not as easy to use.
But this method is not impeccable. Too many expensive products are passed in due to quality problems and returned to the headquarters, which will definitely cause confusion in the headquarters.
Once someone is sent over there to investigate carefully, Richard, as the supervisor here, will definitely not be able to escape, so he must get rid of those fake and shoddy products.
And the only way to deal with it is to reduce the price. This is some of the problems that Vila found. Every time there are not too many deposited goods in the auction in the capital, but the sales price does not match the price assessed by the headquarters. There is an unplanned decrease~IndoMTL.com~ I really want to say that there are any obvious loopholes, but I can't find them. The starting price and transaction price of each item are clear at a glance. Except for the decrease in total revenue, the others are really hard to see. What a big problem.
There was no problem with this method in the past. At that time, the auction of second-hand goods had just started, and the transaction amount every week could reach new highs.
But as the auction has been held so many times, the popularity has gradually decreased. No one could notice that there was less than 120,000 in the past week. There is not much difference between 310,000 and 330,000.
Now that the transaction volume is down, it is easy to be detected if it is too small. He has already blocked more than 14,000 yuan from it last week, and if he starts again, he may be discovered.
But he had to do it again. His mansion, luxury car, his subordinates, and the entertainment between him and some local celebrities and socialites. Maintaining such a glamorous life would never be possible without money. The current gambling addiction...
Re-entering the room, Richard made a decision. Today is... the last time to gamble this month. No matter whether he wins or loses, if he loses another five thousand, he will leave here immediately. He has made up his mind.
He walked into the room, somewhat surprised, sitting at the table with an unfamiliar back, the guy turned his back to him.
He doesn't like this kind of people who join the game halfway, it will make his luck bad, for example, the cards that could have been dealt to him will be dealt to others, which will reduce his chance of winning .
But this place is not opened by his family, and he is not qualified to ask everyone what to do. The only thing he can do is to leave. He has already lost enough.
Just as he asked the waiter to pay for him, the person sitting at the table with his back to him suddenly asked, "Would you like to come and play before leaving?"
Hearing this voice, Richard froze in place.
Yes...
Lynch!
