Chapter 402 Playing a Game
The bright room is filled with a strong strange smell, which is a strange smell mixed with perfume, cigarettes, and Ke Lefu.

Speaking of its fragrance, it doesn't actually smell good.

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

Unknowingly, the sky had dimmed a little. At this time, Richard was not as vigorous and aggressive as he expected, but instead frowned.

The chip box next to him has been empty three times. This is the fourth time he has exchanged chips, each time for 2000 yuan. In a short period of time, he has already exchanged 8000 yuan in chips, and the boxes in front of him seem to be unable to support them. how long.

He lowered his head and glanced at the three cards in front of him. The smoke from the cigarette in his mouth smoky eyes, he blinked a few times, rubbed his eye sockets, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his throat was a little sore.

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

"Mr. Richard, don't you want to take a look?" A very gentlemanly gentleman asked casually. He picked up the three cards in front of him and held them in his hand, took a quick look, and then put them on his own again. 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 and an offensive strategy.

It is not a smart choice to look at the cards in such a game, and the fight between most types of cards is limited to a few "small cards".

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

Small cards mean that looking at the cards will bring huge pressure. Even if the opponent's cards are smaller than yours, you will be timid and afraid.

The saying that the ignorant are fearless is most appropriate here, because if you don't look at the cards, you 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 cards, just following along can make those who look at the cards take the initiative to "jump".

Jumping is a kind of belonging, it means an evasive behavior, and it also means that the players have lost their cards. 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 a round, some people gave up, some followed up, and the sequence of cards came to Richard again.

He pursed his lips, picked up a chip representing [-] yuan and threw it on the table, "Calling..."

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

A round of betting, from five people to four people, three people...

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

The waiter quickly brought him a whole box of chips, 2000 yuan. These small round chips represent wealth here, isn't it amazing?
He hesitated for a few seconds, took out 1000 yuan of chips and threw them into the betting area, mocking slightly with a hint of displeasure, "One hundred and one hundred is too slow, 1000 yuan."

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

This also meant that he had bet thousands of yuan before and was in vain. He shook his head and threw the cards into the discard area, sighing.

The person sitting opposite Richard glanced at the pile of chips piled up in the middle of the table, and asked softly, "It's terrible, I think it should stop here!"

He pushed the chips in front of him into the betting area, the hand was over, he used more chips to end the game, Richard didn't need to invest any more chips, the two just needed to compare each other's cards .

The gentleman sitting opposite Richard casually turned over the cards, "One pair, Mr. Richard!"

"It's time for our Mr. Blind Man to perform!"

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

Richard held the cards in both hands, with his elbows on the table. He lowered his head, approached his hands, and turned over the first card, the second card, and the third card in an awkward and uncomfortable posture!

A classic swear word burst out of his mouth, and he slammed the cards on the table. He was also a pair, but it was the smallest pair, and he lost.

In just over three hours in the afternoon, he lost 9000 yuan. The speed of losing money today broke his previous record again. He wanted to light a cigarette a little annoyed, but found that there was nothing in the cigarette case.

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

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

No cigarettes are sold here, including alcohol, which are not for sale, but the owner of this house invites the guests inside to use and taste for free.

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

Richard pushed the door out, and the hot wind outside made him calm down a bit, and he suddenly realized that he was too impulsive.

This is for sure, he was too impulsive, if he had looked at the cards a few laps in advance, even if he would have lost, he would not have lost so much.

He was influenced by these bastards in successive defeats, and in the last round he was not playing cards, but vindictiveness, betting that his luck was better than others.

But just 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 the money, and stood at the door of the shop to light one.

After taking a puff of the cigarette, an annoying feeling of anxiety slowly dissipated from his chest. He only took two puffs before throwing the cigarette on the ground.

On the way back, he lit another one. His hand that lit the fire was trembling. He had lost too much today.

Ever since he became obsessed with this gambling game, the speed at which he made money was never as fast as the speed at which he lost money. Even though he knew that this kind of losing money might not be normal, he had no clear evidence to prove that others were in the game Made tricks.

Sometimes he will win, and he still wins a lot of money, he has won [-] to [-], or even [-] to [-]!

However, he has lost too many times recently, so much that he has to embezzle part of the company's revenue to fill his financial vacancy, which is only part of it.

For a person who is only for money, it is not difficult to take advantage of loopholes to make money, and this is not the first time he has done it. In fact, he had already tried to get under Lynch's nose when he was in Curryland City. Use some small tricks to make money.

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

Through observation, 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, then sell them to these customers, get benefits from them, and then buy similar products at a very low price to fill them up, arrange for his own people to take pictures, and then wait for the quality Reason for return.

This method is very secretive. Even if it is found out, it is just that some products have been returned due to quality reasons. No one would think that there are other things involved.

As for making manipulations directly from the account, Richard had considered it, but finally gave up because this method of operation was too difficult.

Every city has at least two accountants, and they are all subordinates of Vera. It is difficult for them to be bought at the same time. Compared with manipulating the accounts, it is not as easy to use as his method.

However, this method is not perfect. Too many valuable products are not sold due to quality problems and returned to the headquarters, which will definitely cause doubts in the headquarters.

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

And the only way to deal with it is to lower the price. This is some of the problems that Vera discovered. Every time the auction in the capital does not have too many deposited goods, but the sales price does not match the price assessed by the headquarters, and there are often unplanned occurrences. reduction.

If there were any obvious loopholes, I couldn't find them. The starting price and transaction price of each item were clear at a glance. Except for the decrease in total revenue, there were really no major problems.

There was no problem with this method before. At that time, the auction of second-hand goods had just started, and the transaction amount every week could hit new highs repeatedly.

But with so many auctions held, the heat has gradually dropped. In the past, no one could notice the loss of 1 to 31 a week, and there is not much difference between 33 and [-].

Now that the transaction volume has dropped, if it is too small, it will be easy to be noticed. He has already blocked more than 4000 yuan from it last week, and if he does it again, he may be discovered.

But he had to do that again, his mansion, his car, his subordinates, his entertainment with some local socialites, maintaining such a glamorous life would never be possible without money, plus his current gambling addiction……

Re-entering the room, Richard made a decision. Today is... the last time he came to gamble this month. No matter whether he wins or loses, if he loses another five thousand, he will leave here immediately. He has already made up his mind.

When he walked into the room, he was a little surprised. There was a strange figure sitting by the table with his back turned to him.

He doesn't like this kind of people who join the 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 money.

But this place is not owned 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 lost enough.

Just as he asked the waiter to pay for him, the person sitting at the table with his back turned to him suddenly asked, "Why don't you come and play before you leave?"

Hearing this voice, Richard froze in place.

Yes……

Lynch!
