The bright room is full of thick odour, which is a mixture of perfume and cigarettes and Kolff.

It smells good, but it doesn't smell good.

But if it stinks, you can still smell some fragrance.

Before he knew it, the sky had darkened a little. Richard was not as energetic as he expected. Instead, he frowned.

The chip box around him has been empty three times. This is his fourth time to exchange chips. Each time it is 2000 yuan. In a short time, he has exchanged 8000 yuan of chips, and these in the box in front of him 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 smoked his eyes. He blinked a few times, rubbed his eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his throat hurt.

Took a sip of the wine glass and pressed it on the card.

"Mr. Richard, don't you look at it?" a gentleman asked casually. He picked up the three cards in front of him, held them in his hand, took a quick look, then covered them in front of him again, and picked up a few black chips and threw them in the betting area. "Fill, 200."

"I believe in my eyes more than I believe in my feelings!" he seemed to kindly remind, but this sentence was regarded by Richard as a trap and an offensive strategy.

In such a game, watching cards is not a smart choice. The fighting between most card types is limited to some "small cards".

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

Small cards mean that watching cards will bring great pressure. Even if the other party's card type is smaller than you, you will be timid and afraid.

The ignorant are fearless. This sentence is the most appropriate here, because if you don't watch cards and believe that you can catch big cards, then these pressures will be transferred to those who watch cards.

Sometimes you don't need to light the card. Just follow it, you can let those who watch the card take the initiative to "jump out of the car".

Jumping is a kind of belonging, which means an evasive behavior. It also means that players lose their cards. They choose to admit defeat in this round. Naturally, the chips they put into the bet area have nothing to do with them.

After a turn, someone gave up, someone followed up, and the card sequence came around Richard again.

He sipped his mouth, picked up a chip representing 100 yuan and threw it on the table, "follow the note..."

"It seems that our friends are very confident!" the player sitting opposite Richard also laughed and joked.

A circle of bets, from five to four, three

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

The waiter soon brought him a whole box of chips, two thousand dollars. These round flakes represent wealth here. Isn't it amazing?

He hesitated for a few seconds, took out a thousand pieces of chips and threw them into the bet area. He mocked slightly with a trace of unhappiness, "a hundred is too slow, a thousand pieces."

When three people are present, the game will never end. I don't know whether Richard's ridicule played a role or his crazy betting that he doesn't even look at the cards up to now makes people hesitate. In short, the people sitting at his next house lost their cards.

This also meant that he had bet thousands of dollars before, and he shook his head and threw the card into the discard area with a sigh.

The man sitting opposite Richard glanced at the chips like a hill in the middle of the table and asked softly, "it's terrible. I think it's over!"

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

The gentleman sitting opposite Richard casually turned the card over, "a pair, Mr. Richard!"

"Next is the time for our Mr. blind to perform!"

"Blind man" refers to the card covered by Richard. The opened card is a normal person, which means that he can see. Those cards that have not been opened are like blind people, who can't see anything.

Richard held the cards in both hands and pressed his elbows on the table. He lowered his head, leaned close to his hands and opened the first card, the second card and the third card in a very uncomfortable posture!

A classic dirty word broke out from his mouth. He threw the card on the table. He was also a pair, but it was the smallest pair. He lost.

In more than three hours in the afternoon, he lost 9000 yuan. Today, the speed of losing money broke his previous record again. He was a little impatient and wanted to light a cigarette, but he found that there was nothing in the cigarette box.

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

Just as the waiter was going to get cigarettes, he stopped him, "forget it, I'll buy it myself and collect my chips."

No cigarettes, including drinks, are sold here, but the owner of the house invites the guests inside to use and taste them free of charge.

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

Richard pushed the door out. The hot wind outside calmed him a little. He suddenly realized that he was too impulsive.

This is for sure. He is too impulsive. If he reads the cards a few laps in advance, he won't lose so much even if he will lose.

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

But as the gentleman opposite him said, the person who opens his eyes will never be afraid of a blind man, so his loss is inevitable.

"A pack of cigarettes..." he went to a shop, pointed to the kind of cigarettes he liked, paid the money, and stood at the door of the shop and lit one.

As soon as he took a puff of smoke, a boring feeling of anxiety slowly spread out from his chest. He just took two puffs and threw the smoke on the ground.

On the way back, he lit another one. His ignition hand trembled. He lost too much today.

Since he became obsessed with this gambling game, his speed of making money is never as fast as his speed of losing money. Even though he knows that this kind of losing money may be abnormal, he has no clear evidence to prove that others have done something in the card game.

Sometimes he will win, and still win a lot of money. He has won 10000, 20000, or even 23000!

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

It's not difficult for a man who is for money, and this is not the first time he has done it. In fact, when he was in curiland, he has tried to use some small means to make money under Lynch's eyelids.

His practice is actually very simple. The company auction will have a printed manual with some auction items and starting prices.

He will find some customers who have a strong demand for a certain commodity but can't afford it in a short time for private transactions.

He will find a way to get those goods out, and then sell them to these guests to get benefits, and then use a very low price to make similar goods, shoddy, arrange his own people to take photos, and then return them for reasons such as quality.

This method is very secret. Even if it is checked, it is just that some goods have been returned for quality reasons. No one would think there are other things in it.

As for doing things directly from the account, Richard didn't think about it, but finally gave up because this operation method is too difficult.

There are at least two accountants in every city, and they are all under Vera's hands. It is difficult for them to be bought at the same time. Compared with fiddling with the accounts, it is not as easy as his method.

However, this method is not impeccable. If too many valuable commodities are returned to the headquarters due to quality problems, it will certainly cause doubts in the headquarters.

Once someone is sent to investigate carefully, Richard can't escape as the supervisor here, so he must dispose of those fake and shoddy products.

The only way to deal with it is to reduce the price, which is some of the problems Vera found. There are not many deposited goods at each auction in the capital, but the sales price is inconsistent with the price evaluated by the headquarters, and there are often unplanned decreases.

If there are any obvious loopholes, they can't be found. The starting price and transaction price of each commodity are clear at a glance. Except that the total income has decreased, there are really no big 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 of each week could reach a new high.

However, with the auction held so many times, the heat gradually decreased. In the past week, no one could detect that there were 120000 less, and there was little difference between 310000 and 330000.

Now the trading volume has come down. It's easy to detect if it's too small. He stopped more than 14000 yuan from it last week. If he starts again, he may be found.

But he had to do that again. His luxury house, luxury car, his subordinates, the entertainment between him and some local socialites, maintaining such a bright life is always inseparable from money, coupled with his current gambling addiction

Entering the room again, Richard made a decision. Today is... The last time this month to gamble. No matter win or lose, another 5000 will leave here immediately. He has made up his mind.

When he entered the room, he was surprised. At the table sat a strange figure with his back to him.

He doesn't like such people who join the card game halfway, which will make his luck bad. For example, the cards that could have been given to him will be given to others, so as to reduce his chance of winning money.

But this is not his home. 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 check out for him, the man sitting at the table with his back to him suddenly asked, "don't you come and play?"

Hearing the sound, Richard was frozen in his place.

Yes

Lynch!
