Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1682
Regarding the change Shiyou said, I have actually noticed that whether it is discussing business, or deciding people's life and death, it seems to be just a moment of my thoughts, and even the things I decide are so unquestionable, let everyone Everyone thought I was a gangster with a deep background.

But think about it carefully, what do I have?It's just a few personal bodyguards, but they can teach a family leader with a century-old foundation a lesson in front of so many people. Thinking about it, it's really incredible. Maybe this is the power of self-confidence.

I wore a close-fitting suit and went to Le's Kabaya Hotel. I didn't hug each other and just took Shiyou alone.

Because I know that after an unsuccessful attack, they will stop for a while and will not take any action in the short term.

As soon as I entered the hotel, I saw Lucia walking towards me not far away, followed by two beautiful ladies. As if seeing me for the first time, Lucia warmly extended her hand and shook me. Then he said: "Welcome Chen to our Kabaya Hotel now, I am Lucia, the general manager of the hotel!" After speaking, he handed over his name.

I took the business card, a little surprised, thinking this is not a happy casino?How did she become the general manager here again?

I asked with a groan, "Where is Miss Le? Are you taking her place?"

Lucia said with a smile: "Miss Le has some housework to deal with, and she may not be here in the near future. Now I am in charge of everything here. I wonder what Mr. Chen wants to play today?"

Shiyou took out a check and handed it to Lucia, I said with a smile: "Just change some chips to play, let's start with baccarat!"

Lucia handed the check to a beautiful woman behind her, and said, "Okay, Mr. Chen, please go inside!"

The casino is inside the hotel. When you walk in, it’s not as big as you imagined. There are a few gaming tables visible to the naked eye, placed in the center of the casino, with a few guests sitting here and there, surrounded by slot machines and horse racing machines for gambling. equipment.Lucia led me past the gaming tables and up a few steps, and a gate blocked my way.

Lucia stood in front of the gate, waved her hand, and the door opened, and we walked in.

This was an eye-opener for me. There was a lot of voices inside, all kinds of gambling equipment, topless bunny girls, shuttled among the crowd.

Lucia smiled and introduced: "Those things outside are for ordinary tourists, there is no threshold! This is the world of gamblers, starting at 10, blackjack, stud, baccarat... various gambling methods, here Everything you need, as long as you want to play, here can provide you!"

I noticed that the colors of the gaming tables here are different, and there are several gaming tables that seem to be playing the same betting method, so I asked curiously: "A baccarat is playing on multiple tables? Why not Get together? Isn't it a waste?"

Lucia explained: "Every gaming table here is a different agent. They are all contracted and responsible for their own profits and losses. The casino is only responsible for providing the venue and security, and at the same time preventing customers from reneging on their bills and agents from dirty hands and feet!"

I nodded and said, "It's very smart and safe, so the profit of your casino is the rake?"

Lucia nodded and said: "Yes, each table will have a fixed rake every day, and every customer who wins will also share 1% of our casino's service fee."

This made me understand how casinos work, they don't rely on winning customers to keep their business, they do it now, whether the customer wins or loses, they are the beneficiaries, and the risk is passed on to the broker body.

At this time, a red-eyed middle-aged man threw away the cards in his hand, and shouted at the female agent next to him: "I have lost more than 500 million with you, so lend me another 100, is it that difficult? "

The female agent replied very calmly: "Brother Hao, you have already taken 300 from me. If you don't fill in the number first, I will have to pay for it myself. I don't need to remember you for the interest, but you don't have to pay for it." You have to change it back for me! It’s been a week, and you came up with 500 million. You didn’t think about paying back the money first, but chose to continue gambling. Money, you can’t justify it, right?”

The middle-aged man said impatiently: "I've said it all. I'll send you the money after I go back. Are you afraid that I won't pay you?"

The female agent laughed and said, "Brother Hao, I know you have several factories in the mainland. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to lend you so much, but now the company has regulations. I will use my credit line to do it for you. Guarantee, the previous money must be taken out within today, otherwise neither you nor I will be able to leave this casino!"

The middle-aged man saw that the female manager was very firm, so he cut it and said, "Okay, don't regret it! I'll call now and fill in your pitfalls, and then you don't regret it!"

The female agent said that she had no choice.

The middle-aged man finished the phone call very quickly, asked the female agent to check the account, and then said arrogantly to the female agent: "Deduct what I borrowed, and give me the rest!"

The female agent said puzzledly: "Brother Hao, don't you want to change the rest?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Change, but I won't bet with you anymore!"

The female manager looked helpless, and said helplessly, "Okay, Brother Hao, then just wait for me!"

The female agent quickly completed the formalities, handed a check to the middle-aged man, and did not forget to persuade him: "Brother Hao, if you can make a small bet, do it!"

The man looked at the female agent with disdain, and went to other tables with the check.

Lucia saw my curiosity and waved to the female agent, who hurried over and greeted Lucia politely: "Hello, sister Asia, are you looking for me?"

Lucia nodded and asked, "What happened just now?"

The female agent replied: "Zhang Hao, I am a regular client!"

Lucia nodded and said, "I know, didn't I give you this client? Why is it so frustrating?"

The female agent explained: "He has been losing for 3 days in a row, and more than 500 million yuan is gone. I want him to take a rest, but he doesn't listen, thinking that I want to ask him for money. That's fine, the money is all paid off. I'll make it up to the company right away!"

Lucia frowned and said: "You are always so soft-hearted, how do you make money? He is your client, not your relatives and friends. How many times have I told you not to make friends with clients? Why don't you listen!"

The female agent defended: "It's not that I don't listen, it's just that I don't want to take time away from him all at once. I just want to do it often, just for gambling. I don't want him to go bankrupt and end up as a desperate gambler!"

Lucia scolded: "You are a gambler if you come here. If you don't earn his money, someone else will! You think that he will appreciate you if you do it for his own good! How many times have I told you, don't put Bring your personal feelings into the casino, if you do this again, I don't think you are suitable to work here!"

The female manager bowed her head and nodded, "No more!"

Lucia waved her hand and let her go to work.

I asked again in puzzlement: "Didn't they contract it themselves? Can you still control them? Why do they still obey your orders?"

Lucia smiled and explained: "Because they just paid 100 million to the company as a deposit, and the rest of the money on the gaming table and the money they loan to customers are all the company's money, and they are actually working for the casino! "

I groaned and said, "I just now understand how your casino works!"

Lucia pointed to the middle-aged man and said: "He does this every day, and he is not worthy of sympathy at all. Those who have a family and a business just come out to seek excitement, thinking that they are the chosen one, and they will definitely be able to earn money here. If you let them taste some sweetness, they will get carried away and think that they are the king of gambling! If you persuade him, he thinks you are harming him, so ah, this kind of person is the least worthy of sympathy, and he should be left alone. Die!"

I said with a smile: "You should like this kind of person the most?"

Lucia shook her head and said, "We don't want people to die either! But people like them often end up with two consequences, one is jumping off the roof here, and the other is being punished and forced to run away with their families ruined." , and then I don’t know if he will have his organs removed, or if he chooses to lie to another one and help him pay back the debt, he will also be chopped off by the enemy!"

I nodded and said, "It's up to me! I hope I'm not one of them. Are you going to introduce me to play at that gaming table?"

Lucia hurriedly said: "Why are you like them? You are the one behind the gambling table!" After finishing speaking, she felt that she might have talked too much, and she looked at the beauty behind her and said, "Go and inform the Buddha , said that Mr. Chen is here, and asked him if he wants to end?"

The beauty nodded and walked away, I looked at Lucia suspiciously.

Lucia saw that the beauty had gone away, and there was no one around, so she whispered, "The gambling king is in Room 1, playing with someone, I told him that you are coming today, but he didn't respond, just said, wait for you to come Yes, tell him!"

I groaned and said, "You call him Buddha?"

Lucia nodded and said, "He likes people to call him that!"

Soon the beauty came back and said, "Lord Buddha, let you take Mr. Chen there!"

Lucia nodded, and led me through a long corridor, almost leaving the casino here, and entered a yard. Outside the yard stood two groups of people who looked like bodyguards, one in suits, the other in flowered shirts, with Both have tattoos.

On the opposite side of the courtyard is a Buddhist hall with an open door, inside which is enshrined a statue of Buddha, which turned out to be the appearance of the Monkey King, and there are many offerings in front of the altar.

When we were about to go in, two burly men came out of the door and wanted to search.

Lucia said helplessly: "Everyone wants it!"

I nodded, except for the wrist knife in my hand, everything including the phone was searched.

Shiyou was also stopped outside the door, I said it was fine, just let Shiyou wait for me outside.

Following Lucia through the Buddhist hall, walking inside, and stopped in front of a carved wooden door, Lucia said to the bodyguard at the door: "Tell Buddha, the guests are here!"

The bodyguard nodded, pushed the door in, came out quickly, and let us in.

There were three people sitting inside, playing poker. The middle one was dressed in Thai orthodox clothing, with a huge amulet hanging on his chest, the chain was made of pure gold, and a big eagle on his clothes.On the left is a Middle Eastern man, not wearing their traditional clothes, but a dark gray shirt with only the bottom two buttons fastened, revealing the thick chest hair.The person on the right is smiling at me, it is none other than Lord Liu.

There was no cash on the table, no chips, it was clean.

The three of them stopped their hands at the same time and looked at me. I made a Buddha gesture and said, "Sawadika!"

Buddha returned the gift very politely, and the other two followed suit.

Just as Lucia was about to introduce, Buddha interrupted Lucia and said: "No need to introduce, we all know each other! You go out first!"

Lucia looked at me and backed away.

Lord Buddha looked at me again, and then stopped talking, and the room became silent all of a sudden, I didn't stand or sit, it seemed very awkward.

It was Master Liu who broke the deadlock and said, "Brother, we met again! Recently, I heard that you have made a lot of moves!"

I hastily smiled and said, "I can't say anything about it, and I can't get into the eyes of everyone here! No, it's just right, and it's not the local customs and customs here. That's why I haven't come to pay a visit to you. I'm being rude!"

Master Liu looked at Buddha, smiled without saying a word, and Buddha said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not to be blamed! However, you, an outsider, want to come to our place to open a casino, you should come and see me, old man, unless you don't know I, the old man, take it seriously!"

I hurriedly said: "Buddha, how dare I? I really don't know the rules here. Besides, I didn't intend to have anything to do with gambling. I am most afraid of gambling in my life. If I gamble small, I find it boring. If I gamble big , I can’t bear it anymore! But, as for me, I’m a businessman, and I still have to do rich business, don’t I?”

Buddha stopped talking again, it seemed that he didn't intend to let me sit, I was still standing, which made me a little unhappy!

Kahamoqi on the side helped me out and said, "Why don't you let Mr. Chen sit first, and let's finish playing the cards in this hand?"

Buddha smiled and said: "The cards in your hand look good, otherwise you wouldn't be so anxious!" Then he waved his hand and let me sit down.

This is trying to overwhelm me in terms of momentum and negotiating skills, which will put me at a disadvantage in subsequent negotiations and dialogues.

I suppressed the dissatisfaction in my heart, sat down, and watched them play cards. They turned out to be fighting the landlord. I didn't expect that such a big figure like them would fight the landlord here.

Kahamoqi really had a good hand of cards. After calling the landlord, a spring came directly. I was waiting to see their winning and losing chips. The gambling king took out a check book, wrote a string of numbers and handed it to Kahamoqi Mo Qi, Master Liu also wrote a check.

I can't read the numbers, but I figured it wouldn't be too small if I wrote the check directly.

Master Buddha still wanted to finish it, Master Liu said from the side: "You guys are playing too much, why don't I replace Mr. Chen with two hands!?"
