Chapter 917: You have the final say

Sun Tingting knew that Xiao Yao was talking to herself about this matter now, not to discuss it with herself and ask for her own opinion, but to have already decided to go, but to tell herself in advance.

However, even though she knew that Xiao Yao had made up her mind, Sun Tingting did not end the topic immediately, but still had to express her worries.

To be honest, Sun Tingting is not worried that Xiao Yao will get into the vice of gambling after entering the casino.

Xiao Yao is still very self-disciplined in some aspects. For example, he has been martial arts since elementary school, and he has insisted on exercising early for so many years. For example, when he grows so big, he doesn't smoke or drink heavily. For example, he has been in the United States for a whole year, and he has been to the United States many times, and marijuana, which is already legal in many states in the United States, has never even touched it.

Sun Tingting didn't believe that Xiao Yao would be addicted to it once she went to the casino, and she was worried about Xiao Yao's safety.

"Will it be dangerous?" asked Sun Tingting.

Sun Tingting has grown so big that she has never been to a casino. Her impression of the casino comes from all the descriptions in film and television works. Of course, Sun Tingting knows that the casinos in reality are definitely different from those in film and television works, but she also doesn't know what the difference between casinos in reality and casinos in film and television works is.

"No!" Xiao Yao understood what Sun Tingting meant, shook his head with a smile, "Casinos are legal in Vegas, and Vegas also relies on the casino industry to attract tourists and drive the city's economy." If people open their doors openly to do business, if they can't even guarantee the safety of their guests, who will dare to play? I guarantee that when the time comes, all the casinos that are regularly listed for business will be gone, and I won't go to the chaotic underground black casinos! If I really want to go to that kind of place, I don't have to go all the way to the United States. ”

"Then do you count cards, do you count cards as cheating or cheating?" Sun Tingting asked again, "If you are found out by other casinos or even caught on the spot, will you cause trouble?"

"Of course not! Fighting the landlord for eighty points is still counted as cards, is it worth counting thousands?" Xiao Yao said, "From a legal point of view, counting cards is not illegal." Of course, card counters are not welcome in casinos, but even if the casino finds a card counter, the most they can do is join the blacklist, refuse to enter or refuse to let you go to the 21 o'clock table. It's just that it doesn't serve you, and it won't cause you any other trouble. ”

"Are you really going to win a few million back?" Sun Tingting asked again.

"Why? Don't believe in the ability of my friends and those friends at MIT?" Xiao Yao smiled, "They have already experimented, and their card counting model can indeed improve the winning rate, which is useful!"

"No, I believe you can win money in the casino!" Sun Tingting shook her head and said, "I mean, you don't have to win millions in other people's casinos, right? Since you are experimenting with that card counting model, you just want to go to the casino to experience it, feel that kind of experience, gamble smaller, and win 10,000 or 8,000 can achieve your goal, right? We are not short of those millions! Your friends are top students at MIT, so you shouldn't have to rely on casino wins to make a living, right?"

"Although the casinos in Vegas are doing business in the open, and they won't do anything on the surface, but you win millions of people, that is, let the casino lose millions, in case you anger the people in the casino, who knows if they will send someone to do anything to you behind your back!"

"Are you saying that the casino is looking for someone to arrest us and let us spit out the money again?" Xiao Yao smiled, "If that's the case, we'll just give them the money back!"

"Money is a trivial matter, I'm afraid that you will be in danger in the middle!" Sun Tingting said, "You are good, but your friends are also very good? Also, I don't believe that you will be so obedient, in case there is a conflict in the middle, an accident or something, the United States is not a gun ban country!"

"Are you really worried about this?" Xiao Yao smiled and raised a few fingers and said, "First, a few million is a lot for ordinary people, but for a larger casino, it is nothing at all. And we don't just go to one casino, the money we win will not come from the same casino, more than a dozen or even dozens of casinos are possible, and there will not be a lot of one. ”

"Second, we win money in casinos by our skills. If the casino finds out that we count cards and refuses to serve me, then there is nothing to say, but if they don't find out, we win money, and then send someone to trouble me afterwards, but the casino is wrong. Casinos generally win, but individual gamblers are sure to win and lose. There is no reason why casinos do not allow customers to win money, otherwise who would go to the casino? Once this matter spreads, the impact on the reputation of the casino is very large. The loss from the reduced traffic to the casino can be much more than the little money we win from the casino. ”

"Also, I'm somewhat well-known in the United States. Xiao Yao added, "When I go to the casino, I must go quietly, but if something like that happens, and I reveal my identity and then break the news to the media, the influence will definitely be greater than that of ordinary people, and the impact on the casino side may be much greater." ”

"Then what if the casino recognizes you, why don't you just do it and kill you all?" Sun Tingting said deliberately viciously, "There is a desert near Vegas, just bury it in the desert, and you don't know it!"

"Haha~" Xiao Yao laughed, looked at Sun Tingting and said, "You have watched too many gangster movies, right?"

"Hey!" Sun Tingting said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao put away his laughter and sorted out his expression a little, "The United States is not so messy, and Vegas is not so messy." Besides, I'm not an American, and I'm not an ordinary person. Think about how much of a fuss I made in the American media about my kidnapping at New York Fashion Week? If I go to a casino in the United States..."

"The police will only consider the international impact and the influence of celebrities. Will the casino or the people who do things for the casino think about it?" Sun Tingting said, "At Fashion Week, did those kidnappers take the initiative to release you because the American police were under a lot of pressure because there were reports of you everywhere outside?"

"This," Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "It doesn't seem like it's going to be." But that's because some of the kidnappers have a personal vendetta against me, and if it weren't for her, those people wouldn't have kidnapped me at all!"

"If you don't win a lot of money in the casino, if you lose money or only win a little bit, no one will want to trouble you!" Sun Tingting looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"I see what you mean!" Xiao Yao said, "But this time we go to Vegas, we have to win a large enough amount!"

"Why?" Sun Tingting was puzzled, "You are not short of money!"

"Did they set this goal?" or did you discuss it together?" Sun Tingting guessed, "They plan to make a fortune from this?"

"No, that's my goal, I haven't told them yet. Xiao Yao said, "But I'm sure they won't refuse!"

"Why did you decide it?" asked Sun Tingting again.

"Because I'm going to make a movie!" Xiao Yao said.

"What does this have to do with making movies?" Sun Tingting wondered, "Don't we have the money to make movies? Even if the company has insufficient funds, we can still find investors to attract investment, I have never heard that we have to go to the casino to win money to make movies!"

"It's not a lack of money, it's a lack of stories, no, it's not a lack of stories, it's a lack of highlights in the stories!" Xiao Yao said, "The movie I want to make in the future is about what we do." I wanted to make this experience into a biographical movie, and I had to play myself, wouldn't it be very interesting? But there was a problem, and that was that it had to be compelling enough! The story of a few people who went to the casino by counting cards and won 8,000 and left, even if one of them was a star like me, would anyone be interested? At least there had to be a number of people who were attractive enough to be the talk of the town, right?"

"It's really interesting to play yourself, but you..." Sun Tingting patted her forehead a little speechlessly.

"A few million is just a preliminary goal!" Xiao Yao said, "My plan is to win as much as I can until all the casinos blacklist us! When we go, we will put on makeup and use pseudonyms, but when all the casinos blacklist us and we no longer go to the casinos to count cards, I will announce this matter in some way." It may be autobiography, or take the initiative to find the media to do an exclusive interview. After this matter is known to the public, the next movie will also have a good performance at the box office. ”

"So you're doing this, in fact, you're promoting a movie that hasn't been approved yet?" Sun Tingting said, "Your publicity method is too..."

Sun Tingting suddenly didn't know how to describe it.

"Actually, it's not!" Xiao Yao said, "The focus of this matter is to go to the casino to count the cards itself, and we must do this thing." Then there are autobiographies and movies, which are just an idea at the moment. But since I have the idea of making a movie in the future, no matter whether it is successful or not, when I do it, of course, I will make it a good thing for the future performance of the film. I think that since this thing has been done, there is not much difference between winning tens of thousands and millions, and there is no need to stop in advance!"

"But..."Sun Tingting said again.

"I know, safety issues!" Xiao Yao said, "First of all, it must be a certain amount of money to win before it can be dangerous, right? When we win a certain amount and I feel that there may be danger, I will invite Tim Haggis to Vegas..."

"Tim Haggis, who?" Sun Tingting interrupted Xiao Yao.

"The FBI agent, the bodyguard who was with me when I went to the United States that year, is now a senior FBI detective. Xiao Yao said, "When the hijacking case was in place, I helped him in the New York branch of the FBI when I recorded a confession, and in your case at Chambers, he helped me participate in the investigation of the case as a consultant, and then in the robbery and kidnapping case of New York Fashion Week, he also knew very well what I had done." He had a crush on me and appreciated my skills in those cases. Over the years, I haven't cut off contact with him, and occasionally communicate via online chat. ”

"Oh!" Sun Tingting nodded, motioning for Xiao Yao to continue.

"With the relationship between the two of us, if I tell him that I came to the United States to play and ask him to go to Vegas for a while, as long as he really can't get out, he will generally not refuse. Xiao Yao said, "When the time comes, we will be with him, and even take him to the casino to hang around, it should be enough to deter some people, right? It's not the same thing to bury a foreign tourist in the desert and bury an active FBI agent in the desert!"

"What if Tim really can't get out of his body and can't go?" asked Sun Tingting.

"Even if Tim can't go at that time, I can ask him to say hello to the local police or the FBI branch. Xiao Yao said, "We don't break the law when we count cards, and we won't do anything else that violates the law." I asked Tim to say hello to the local police or the FBI, at most to get the police to provide some protection or a little deterrent to the local casinos and criminals. In the kidnapping case of New York Fashion Week, I gave it to the American police. Even if Tim has no acquaintances in the local police or the FBI, with that little favor back then, plus Tim came forward, the local police and the FBI should not refuse!"

"And!" Xiao Yao continued, "Although the United States is not a gun ban country, with my skills and sensitivity to danger, I am not necessarily powerless against those who have guns." At New York Fashion Week, the kidnappers all had guns, and I subdued one with my bare hands and called the police while ensuring my safety. If it weren't for Sister Xi's presence, the kidnappers knew about her relationship with me and used her to blackmail me, and those people would not have caught me. ”

"Listen to what you mean, you didn't plan to take me with you to Vegas this time, did you?" Sun Tingting looked at Xiao Yao and said.

According to the filming plan, the end of the recording of the dance reality show in which Sun Tingting participated was earlier than Xiao Yao's current crew's finishing time. Xiao Yao plays the male lead in the play, throughout the filming of the whole drama, it is impossible for individuals to finish and leave the group in advance, so when Xiao Yao went to the United States, Sun Tingting must have finished recording the variety show.

Sun Tingting has no other work arrangements for the time being after the end of this variety show, she was free at that time, and she had time to go to the United States with Xiao Yao. However, listening to Xiao Yao talk about the New York Fashion Week that year, Sun Tingting knew that Xiao Yao not only did not plan to take herself to Vegas with her, but even if she asked to go with her, Xiao Yao probably would not agree.

"Danger or not, it's not appropriate for you to go together. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"Then what am I doing during that time?" asked Sun Tingting.

"My parents plan to travel to Europe in June!" Xiao Yao said, "At that time, your show has ended, why don't you go to Europe with them for a lap?"

"Uncle and aunt go out on a trip, your son doesn't go, what does it matter if I go with me?" Sun Tingting said, "I haven't passed the door yet!"

"Is it a difference whether you have passed through the door or not?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Besides, they went out on a trip this time, and the destinations were all suitable places for weddings, saying that they were going to help us inspect the wedding venue, understand the situation, and come back to give us reference." If you have other ideas and other places where you want to have a wedding, you can also change the itinerary and take them with you to see it!"

"The wedding is a matter of two people, so I'll go to see it alone?" Sun Tingting said.

"The wedding is not a matter of two people, it is a matter of two families!" Xiao Yao corrected, "But your parents will probably take your opinion as the main thing, and my parents will also listen to me." However, I completely listen to you, you can hold the wedding wherever you want, and you can take whatever form you want. You can refer to my parents' opinions, but in the end, you have the final say!"
