Chapter 2071 Big Gambling
The VIP room was quickly transformed into a Texas Hold'em poker venue...
The VIPs of the Metropolitan Hotel quickly completed the negotiation, and the six wealthy men, plus Alvin and Stark, a total of eight people sat at the gaming table.
Sophie, who had "retired after her success", was like a gorgeous social butterfly. She wandered among a group of wealthy people who could only watch from the sidelines, and she quickly became familiar with these people. She even initiated peripheral bets for entertainment. The atmosphere soon became cheerful.
Alvin looked at the envious and jealous expressions in the eyes of the two dancers beside him, and he said funnyly: "Everyone has their own strengths, at least your figure is much better than hers."
A Latina dancer looked at Sophie with a slightly disappointed expression, and then said: "No, I hope I can be a woman like her!"
Alvin was stunned for a moment, and shook his head in amusement, but did not persuade the girl.
These are all excellent dancers who have been selected through serious talent selection, and they already have a certain degree of popularity and even a fan base. It is reasonable for her to have lofty ideals.
In Alvin's eyes, Sophie is indeed the kind of woman who is good at dancing. Although she doesn't know what this agent wants, it does not prevent her from becoming the most dazzling character in the VIP room.
Alvin asked Angel to help check the information of "Western Construction Group". This is a construction company with a grand name but a small registered capital. The president is indeed called Olivia, and the photo is correct.
However, if you dig deeper, you will find that although this company has complete qualifications, if you look closely at the accounts, you will find that it is actually an empty shell with a false appearance, but this is also consistent with her status as a British agent.
This is the tactic used by the most sophisticated liars, allowing the target to confirm a fictitious identity on their own, giving greater credibility to what they say in the future.
However, Alvin still instinctively disliked Sophie. He smiled and waved to the two people around him to go and have a look. After all, this was a good opportunity for them...
Looking at several gamblers who were ready, Alvin smiled and said: "Everyone, how do we play..."
Stark fiddled with the small chips in front of him. He waved his hands impatiently and said: "Let's play like this. Change the unit of chips into tens of thousands. Each person has 100 million chips. After we lose, we will drink..."
As he spoke, Stark looked at Alvin's "shocked" expression, and said with disdain: "The big and small blinds are 12,000, and there is no upper limit for betting. If you win, you will go to charity, and if you lose, you will treat it as poverty alleviation. You Even if I lose, it’s still mine...
Man, save yourself some leverage or you'd be stupid to end up not being able to tip. "
Alvin breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed to a waiter and pointed at the chips in front of him and said: "Help me make up 100 million, Mr. Stark pays the bill by swiping his card."
The other six wealthy men at the gambling table looked at each other, and then accepted Stark's request with a smile.
One hundred million seems to be an unattainable number for many people, and it is the same for most wealthy people in the United States.
But if the money can be exchanged for the opportunity to do something with Iron Man and Manhattan Tomahawk, then this is not just a gamble, but an "investment."
What’s more, winning or losing isn’t guaranteed, right?
After reaching a certain level, winning or losing is actually not that important anymore, but if you are unable to show your decisiveness and self-confidence in this situation, then you will not only lose the bet, but also the opportunity.
Casino owner Terry Ditnick watched with excitement as a gambling game with a total value of 800 million was taking shape here, and because of Stark's leadership, the VIP customers signed checks one after another...
Originally, gambling at this level could completely bypass the casino, but Stark didn't know whether it was because he didn't know the business or for some other reason, so he directly paid 200 million in cash with his card.
The casino became the guarantor, and they made millions from this gamble without doing anything.
Money is a trivial matter, but if the influence of this gamble spreads, it will be very beneficial to the image of the Metropolitan Hotel.
Terry, the casino tycoon, personally came forward to give chips to several VIPs, and generously announced that the casino would give up the commission for this gambling game, and after the gambling game, it would come up with $500 and invest it in the name of everyone present. Go to the renovation of the old power system in Las Vegas.
This Terry knew exactly what the big guys here wanted, and his suggestions quickly aroused responses.
Stark and Alvin looked at each other, spread their hands and said indifferently: "The New Energy Power Company's projects have been slowly being rolled out. If you are interested, you can go to the Osborne Group to contact us. After all, we have control over new energy. It is they who transmit the technology.
But I personally am happy for more people to join the power transformation project. After all, the wider the power grid is, the more money I will make.
I believe Osborne thinks so too! "
Stark's statement caused a round of applause, and the wealthy people outside the gambling table had even begun to talk about the issue of alliance.
As we all know, the construction of new energy grid is a huge infrastructure project, and this project can stimulate a huge industrial chain and create employment.
Stark and others can stand at the upper reaches of technology and eat meat, while others can stand at the lower reaches and drink soup, and this "soup" contains huge nutrients.
Any country or any company that can generate employment will have a say in the government. If these rich men succeed, they will gain more than just money.
Stark doesn't care at all. He has no interest in this kind of hard work. Everyone does it...
This gamble was not originally part of their plan, but Colonel Rhodes acted and sent the safe into the Metropolis Casino vault to tell Stark that it was impossible to steal hundreds of millions of dollars silently.
So if he wanted to take away the cash in the vault before the thieves, the only way Stark could think of was to win it.
At that time, Mr. Stark can just find an excuse and ask the casino to secretly send the cash to a designated location, and then he can sit back and watch the thieves try their best to get rid of it.
This is a hurtful style of play, and it is very effective. The only problem is that Stark and Alvin have to win money, and they have to win $300 million.
The casino is not a bank, only winners can do whatever they want here!
Everything seemed normal, and with Stark and Alvin throwing down a blind bet of 10,000 and 20,000 respectively, the gambling officially began.
After everyone had seen their cards, Stark didn't even look at his cards, so he threw down a chip representing 1 million.
Alvin blinked, checked the variegated cards in his hand again, and then discarded the cards in his hand under Stark's contemptuous eyes.
Texas Hold'em is actually a competitive game that involves watching people's actions. It is very important for beginners to create a solid "personality" for themselves when entering the game. This can help them end the game with a final word at the critical moment.
Stark and Alvin don't need to perform deliberately. One of them is born to treat money improperly, and the other is stingy by nature...
The different states of the two people can easily eliminate some players as long as they can cooperate.
In the first round, everyone politely followed Stark for two rounds without looking at his cards, and then folded one after another...
Alvin was "shocked" as he watched Stark put millions of chips in front of him. He whistled and said, "Brother, take it easy. Winning first doesn't count as winning!"
Stark threw "a dollar" to the surprised card dealer, then glanced at Alvin with disdain and said, "Why are you so timid? Even if you lose, it's my money."
Our bets still count, and if I have more chips than you at the end, I win. "
Alvin glanced at several opponents who were starting to get serious. He smiled and said, "I think you will lose miserably. Maybe I can beat you as long as I fold every hand."
Then Alvin folded continuously without the need to bet the blind bet himself. When it was his turn to bet the big blind bet, he shouted "pass" in front of "all eyes".
In order to adapt to Alvin's stinginess, a group of people showed him a handful of community cards. They all laughed and knocked on the table and shouted "pass".
No one looked down on Alvin because of his "stinginess", but an old man wearing a cowboy tie said with a smile: "How much I wish I could be like Mr. Tomahawk?
This damn place, Las Vegas, took too much money out of my pocket..."
The public card showed 3 hearts, 6 spades, and 10 diamonds, and Alvin's hand happened to be a pair of 10s...
Alvin glanced sideways at the old cowboy, then picked up a "100,000" chip and threw it away.
"The winner is the guy who can control his desires. You seem to be the one, but today is definitely an exception."
The old cowboy took a look at his trump card, then threw out a "million" chip and said with a smile: "Self-discipline is not enough. To become a winner, you also need gambling skills. It is best to have the determination not to gamble. , otherwise Las Vegas will make everyone a loser.
I definitely can’t do it anymore, so I can only hang on to my own business for the rest of my life!
I hope I can take the chip from Mr. Tomahawk, so that I can prove that I have fought against Mr. Tomahawk. "
Alvin watched a group of people follow the bets as if they were one million dollars, and he shook his head helplessly...
However, Stark seemed to dislike the attitude of a group of people. He took a "10 million" chip and threw it out, saying: "How is 1 million enough? If you want to see the Manhattan Tomahawk's trump card, then take out Come on, have some courage.”
Alvin stared at Stark, who was "fighting against injustice". In the end, he threw out a "10 million" chip, then retrieved his 100,000 chips, and said: "FUCK, I want Don't be so impulsive, you didn't even look at your cards!"
Stark shrugged indifferently and said, "I believe luck is on my side."
Alvin's call was a bit "too scary" for other players. The boss must have a big hand, and it was probably a pair of tens.
The others decisively folded, and only the old man from the West pushed all the chips in front of him to the bottom of the pool.
Looking at Stark's slightly strange expression, the old man smiled and said: "Mr. Stark is right, it takes a little courage to see Mr. Tomahawk's trump card.
As a cowboy, I ask myself that there is still no shortage of ‘courage’! "
