Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1691 Buddha's opinion

I curled my lips and said, "Who is he, I don't want to ask anymore, I'm just curious, why did he kill me? Or did he just want to scare me? What's the purpose? What threat can I pose to him?"

Luo Sisi replied: "I guess, it was our last family gathering. He might feel that you took his place, which caused him to hold a grudge!"

I shook my head and said, "It's not true for you to say that! There were so many people present that day, but he was the only one who didn't see him! And he should also know that we are not the same way, so there is no reason to hold grudges against me! If I say I stole His gambling cards, there is such a thing, but it was after the assassination! I don’t want to get into this matter anymore, and there is nothing to get into it! If your people see him, tell him, this matter is over , there is no need to hide anymore!"

Luo Sisi looked at me with some disbelief and asked, "Are you sure? Let's not pursue this matter?"

I shrugged and said, "Yeah, no one was hurt, why bother? As long as there is no next time!"

Luoshen smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is indeed a magnanimous person! Then let's talk business?"

I hummed and said, "Okay!"

Luoshen said straight to the point: "Yesterday, Sisi has conveyed your opinions to me. I am very touched. Thank you for your support! I also want to express my opinion. The investment in the casino can be done according to 3:3:4. As long as 10% of the shares, and once the arms business is completed, I will give 10% of each business to Mr. Chen, what do you agree?"

Of course I am very satisfied, looking at Eddie, Eddie said very readily: "It's fair and acceptable! But I have to look at it first, the list of goods you need and the replacement location, time, etc. I will confirm that it is safe Once correct, I will start trading!"

Luoshen nodded and said, "Very good!"

I had some doubts: "I still don't understand some things. Who is your batch of arms for? The new government? What if they don't succeed in being elected?"

Luoshen said with a smile: "Once they lose the election, a provisional government will be established, and they can still take power!"

I groaned and said, "Why was a provisional government established? The votes are invalid?"

Luoshen shook his head and said: "It can be effective, but accidents may happen to the elected person!"

These words sent chills down my spine, they are going to assassinate me!
I was still puzzled and said, "Haven't you always cooperated well? Instead of supporting newcomers, why don't you continue to cooperate with the old?"

Luoshen replied: "That's because they are too greedy! Before the gambling cards of the two casinos are officially issued, they have already booked a 20% dividend, no matter which one wins the bid! This also makes Buddha very angry, so we My opinion is to replace them!"

It was only then that I remembered that Kaha was the real investor of the current government. He got Le's casino because it was related to the government. This was the last thing Luoshen wanted to see. It belonged to him, and suddenly a Cheng Yaojin came out of the sky and took away Le's casino. Of course, he was unwilling. They also negotiated with the new government. As a result, Luoshen provided arms to help them complete the general election. If they succeeded, they would go ashore together.

This kind of political gambling is not as simple as gambling with money. If you win the bet, you may not be able to get out of the whole body.Luoshen is trying to drag us all into the water!

Seeing that I didn't speak, Luoshen hesitated for a moment, and asked Eddie, "Does Miss Jones have any questions?"

Eddie questioned: "Your political struggle has nothing to do with us. Don't get involved in business and politics, so that it will be difficult for us to cooperate for a long time! You have to deal with your own internal affairs, and then talk about cooperation." matter!"

Luo Sisi looked at me and said, "What does this mean? Didn't we all agree yesterday?"

I shrugged and said, "It's a good deal! But we don't know, and we still want to participate in your political struggle!"

Luo Sisi snorted and said, "How could it be possible to only think about power, but not fulfill a little obligation?"

I curled my lips and said, "Did you make a mistake? Now you asked us to do business with you! On the casino side, yes, you have helped a lot, but without you, we can not do the casino business at all. The arms business is also based on the help you gave me some time ago, so I will open this mouth with John! But it is only for business, and it does not involve your internal struggles, and it is impossible for us to participate!"

Luo Sisi snorted coldly: "Without our protection, you can't do anything! Business and politics are intertwined and inseparable! You can't just take advantage of it! This is political investment. Over the years, we have This is how the family survives!"

I suddenly asked: "How did Buddha stand in line?"

Luo Sisi said dissatisfiedly: "How does he stand in line, does it have anything to do with you? You are not going to join him, are you?"

I snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean to seek refuge? Are we seeking refuge with you now? It's cooperation! I need to talk to him first!"

Then he said in a provocative tone: "I just discovered that among the royal families in Thailand, it's not just your Auster family that has the right to speak!"

Luoshen stopped Luo Sisi's words, and said to me: "Mr. Chen, I know this needs you to weigh repeatedly, and I can give you time! Don't jump to conclusions, it's not too late to wait and see! Anyway, there is still more than a month before the general election! As for what Buddha thinks, you can ask, but I still sincerely hope that we can cooperate!"

I hummed and said, "Of course you are our first choice, but we really don't want to get too involved in political affairs! At least not now!"

Luoshen hummed and said: "I understand that every businessman will have such an idea like you! Then please think carefully about it!"

Then looking at Eddie, Eddie said seriously: "Mr. Chen's opinion is my opinion!"

After returning, Eddie asked curiously: "Whether in Northern Europe or South America, business has always been linked to politics, which is justifiable! You can't sell guns to Israel and Pakistan at the same time. Both sides are not pleasing! Since they want us to stand in line, we just have to make a statement, anyway, we want to cooperate with them, and we will win and lose together!"

I smiled and said, "Where did you come from such a big quack air? Before we saw the situation clearly, we were eager to express our position. Maybe any word we said would be passed on quickly, and we would be caught by the time." If we are forced to tie up with them, then our bargaining chips will be much lower! Cooperation is naturally necessary, but whoever offers the highest price, we should cooperate with whom! Under the same conditions, we may choose the Luo family, Don't forget that we are businessmen! Not politicians! Their shitty things have nothing to do with us! Many things, once they involve politics, will be very troublesome! They are too courageous, they even want to change the results of the general election, This is untenable! It will only make the situation more chaotic, and it will not be easy for us to make money! The best way is that they can complete the general election peacefully, and no matter who wins, we can continue to do business!"

Eddie shook his head and said, "It's impossible. We must have stood up before the general election! You should know this better than me! Fencers will never get good results!"

Of course I know, but I just want to be more sure, that is to drag other people into the water together.

So, I went to find the Buddha, who was kneeling in front of the altar, praying devoutly.

Everyone stood behind him, no one dared to make a sound, even breathing carefully.

I looked at the very awkward Dou Zhan Buddha, it was indescribably weird, I really wonder why he likes to worship this Buddha so much?

After a while, Buddha stood up, looked at the group of people behind him, then glanced at me, and waved to me.

I walked over, and Buddha pointed to the big Buddha above his head and asked, "Are you curious why I keep worshiping it?"

I thought to myself, he doesn't even know what I think, does he?Then he did not worship this Bodhisattva in vain!
I nodded and said, "Yes, in principle, does he belong to the object of our worship? I have seen people who worship Guanyin, Guan Gong, and even Marshal Tianpeng, but I have never heard of worshiping this Monkey King, and why do I think he has an evil spirit?" After finishing speaking, I looked nervously at the Buddha, for fear that he would be angry because I disrespected the Buddha.

Fortunately, he just smiled and said: "Because he is not Monkey King, he is fighting against Buddha!"

I asked inexplicably: "Isn't Sun Wukong the one who defeated the Buddha? After successfully learning the scriptures from the Western Paradise, the Buddha conferred on him!"

The Buddha shook his head with a smile and said, "You guys were all deceived by the Buddha. This is a six-eared macaque, not some Monkey King! When passing the Daleiyin Temple, the real and fake Monkey King, the one who won was actually the Monkey King." The six-eared macaque lost to Sun Wukong, who was imprisoned by Tathagata for another 500 years. The obedient six-eared macaque followed Tang Seng to the West Paradise, obtained the scriptures, cultivated the righteous fruit, and became a fairy! So, I said This six-eared macaque is a capable person, who can not only win the appreciation of his superiors, but also deceive the hearts of the people in the world! He has the right and wrong, so tell me, should I pay homage to him!"

I frowned and said, "Is there still this allusion? Believable?"

Master Buddha laughed loudly and said, "Who knows? Books are made up, and only the people who make them know whether they are true or not! The history you have watched since you were young is also written by people. Who can tell how much is true and how much is false? You know? They just control your thoughts! So, what you think is the truth!"

I nodded and said, "Thank you Buddha for your teaching!"

Buddha patted me on the shoulder and said, "Go for a gamble?"

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I just don't know how much I have to lose today?"

The Buddha cut out and said: "If you admit defeat before you gamble, then you will definitely not win money today! When I was young, I thought I was the god of gamblers, and God would favor me! I started working in a casino when I was 14 years old. I gamble twice as soon as my salary is paid, and I gamble 10 hands each time. The first nine hands are all winning, and often it is the last one, and I lose all in one go! I just thought, one day, I will be in the last bet I won all the cards! As a result, when I was 16 years old, I won 14 consecutive hands, and I won a big one, so I set up a calligraphy and painting stall!"

I asked curiously: "16 years old? I'm still in high school at 16 years old! You have your own calligraphy and painting files?"

Buddha said with a smile: "The age is different! The children of poor families have already been in charge of the family, and we had to rely on ourselves at that time! I also want to wear a clean school uniform and sit in the classroom to study, but after reading, there is no living expenses. Now, I have to support myself and my younger brothers and sisters!"

I asked curiously: "You still have younger brothers and sisters? Why haven't you seen them?"

Buddha paused for a moment, and said with some pride: "No one among them is willing to recognize me as an elder brother now, they are all big shots!"

I didn't continue to ask, and it seemed that he didn't want to say anything.

Into the side room where we gamble, just the two of us.

Foye held the poker cards on the table and said, "Let's just guess the size?"

I nodded and said, "Okay, but first, how big is the bet? This bet is faster than Fighting the Landlords, just the two of us, don't let me lose all of a sudden!"

Buddha smiled and said: "No, I know you have a lot of money, you definitely don't care about this little money! It's 1! You won't lose all the time, right? I used it for two years and it's only 14 Hit all! We have a half and half chance!"

I sighed and said, "I'm not a gambler. I believe in science. My chance of winning like this is not 50%, but 30%. According to scientific and technological statistics, the person who deals the cards is often better than the person who deals the cards. 20% higher!"

The Buddha froze for a moment, then looked at me uncertainly and said, "You are the science you heard? Then you just deal the cards! Are you afraid of my tricks?"

I hurriedly shook my head and said: "What is your identity, Lord Buddha? Naturally, you wouldn't play tricks for such a small amount of money! Besides, let alone losing to you, I don't have any objection to giving it to you directly! After all, that bet card, I don’t know how much it’s worth!”

Buddha waved his hand and said: "I just agreed, I asked you for so much money, don't you blame me?"

I hastily waved my hand and said, "How could it be? We all know that no casino can open without your approval!"

Buddha asked again: "Then do you think I'm overbearing?"

I shook my head again and said, "Of course not. Everywhere should have its regulations. The regulations are made by people. Since everyone can abide by the regulations, it shows its rationality. Naturally, I should abide by them too!"

Buddha praised: "You are really a smart person!"
