Chapter 10 Intimidation
While Harry was looking for the manager, Link played two games on a large turntable, and both of them hit. He pressed 10,000 yuan with one bet, and pressed those numbers with low probability, and won more than 700,000 at once. The dealer on the wheel broke out in a cold sweat, and after a while in the third game, Harry took the manager to Link.
Harry introduced Link to the manager, gave Link a cautious look, and went back to work.
The manager of the gambling hall had a polite conversation with Link and took him to the VIP room. The news that Link had won a big sum at MGM yesterday had already spread in various casinos. For such gamblers, the casino is quite a headache. In the case of ordinary gamblers, the casino can stop them directly outside the door or force them to sign an agreement not to enter the casino. But Link is different.
He has the money and can hire bodyguards. Such a person cannot be forcibly expelled, nor can he rudely ask the other party to sign a letter of commitment. Until they find evidence of the other party's outreach, it will be difficult for them to keep Link out of the casino.
Link won more than 700,000 in two games just now, and he can win so much in a small probability game like a big turntable, he is either extremely lucky or has extremely strong mental arithmetic ability. But even if his mental arithmetic ability is strong, it is impossible to hit the number he pressed alone in two consecutive games.
The manager was glad that Link was going to find a hand to play. Otherwise, even if you kill him after he wins and leaves, the casino's losses will not be recovered.
Link stayed in the VIP room at Caesar's Palace until nine o'clock in the evening, playing two games in a row until those who were playing were too losing to play with him. In more than eight hours, he won more than 30 million from those people again.
He knew his business, and he knew he couldn't mess with those casinos. So he doesn't plan to stay in the same casino for more than one day in a row.
In the following month, he appeared in Luxor, the Golden Palace, the Venetian, Bellagio, Paris, New York, Treasure Island, Excalibur Castle and other Las Vegas casinos.
However, in recent days, few people have been willing to play with him. The further back he went, the harder it was to find a hand that was willing to accept him.
And while he was waiting for the game, he always gambled in the VIP gambling room. There are more and more people scolding him online, and his luck is getting better and better. The more he won, the more fame spread. He is also interested in giving interviews to some media outlets. As his fame grew, the less daring these casinos were to think anything wrong about him. And he has been staying in hotels and rarely going out, and these hotels are difficult to find opportunities even if they want to deal with him.
Another reason is that he wins most of his money from private poker games, and those casinos don't lose much on him. So the casino is also too impulsive to deal with him.
In just one month, he has won more than 800 million from those private games.
It's just that later, he still wins every gamble. He could have been thrown to those private gambling games before. But when someone found a master to help him and lost everything, gradually no one was willing to let him join the game. He spent more and more time waiting at the casino. As long as he goes to the casino, if he doesn't have a game for a while, he will play in the VIP room.
Slowly, he also accumulated more than 300 million wins in various casinos. At the end of the day, the casino could barely arrange him for those private games. Watching him win more and more money from the casino was unbearable. But they don't dare to do it lightly. Because Link was followed by two retired SEAL bodyguards. And he already has enough money and a reputation that is loud enough.
Of course, there will always be people who do not believe in evil.
Link has been staying in the presidential suite at the MGM Hotel for a month. That morning, when he got up, one of the bodyguards named Benjamin walked in with a plastic letter and a calm face: "Boss, this is from the hotel waiter, saying that it was your email." ”
Link looked at the shriveled blue delivery bag, looked at his face again, and asked, "What's inside?"
"Maybe you can open it up and take a look. Benjamin didn't say it explicitly, but handed him the bag.
Link took the bag, felt the weight in the bag, and his heart sank slightly, but when he pinched the bag, he felt that there was a piece of paper and two small cuboids. He tore open the bag, and sure enough, he took out a piece of paper inside.
There is only one line of words on the paper. He read the words on it at a glance. His face was gloomy as he pulled out the contents of the bag. They were two small cylindrical cartons no larger than a finger. He opened the carton and saw the bullets inside.
He looked up and asked Benjamin, "Do you know what's inside?"
"Yes. I felt the weight inside. ”
Link knows that the gun has been played a lot and is sensitive to the weight of bullets. So he was also skeptical of his words.
He handed the paper to Benjamin and said, "Who do you think sent it?"
Benjamin saw the threatening letter on the paper: "Get out of Las Vegas now, or the next bullet will be in your heart and head." ”
He handed the threatening letter to Warren, one of Link's other bodyguards. Warren looked at the threatening letter and said, "Boss, can you show me the delivery bag?"
Link handed him the bag.
Warren saw that there was no courier note on the bag, and said in a deep voice: "Boss, when I was resting in the afternoon, I saw the secretary of the general manager of the Venetian Hotel hand over a courier bag without a courier note to the city courier. ”
This bag is exactly what City Express is from. Link's eyes narrowed and he asked, "When?"
"Yesterday afternoon around 4:40 p.m. My friend stayed at the Venetian Hotel. "Warren took a leave of absence yesterday because a friend from Europe came to Las Vegas.
Link pondered for a moment and asked, "Surely you didn't see that?"
"Yes, I'm sure!" Warren nodded.
Benjamin frowned and said, "It really looks like Anderson can do it." ”
The Anderson he was talking about was the general manager of the Venetian casino. This man is said to be notoriously ruthless.
Benjamin laughed and said, "Anderson and Chris of the Flamingo don't deal with each other. "And Link's plan today is to go to the Flamingo Casino.
Link immediately understood what he was trying to say. If this small tactic of threatening the letter and sending bullets really made him leave Las Vegas in fear, the Venetian Casino he was going to visit in two days would also be a loss. If he fights back, the best possible thing is to win hard at Flamingo.
If it's the latter, not only can it disgrace the flamingo, but it will also make the flamingo lose money. The most important thing is that after the flamingo suffered a heavy loss, he will definitely not let him go.
Once the flamingo gets angry at him, he doesn't dare or don't have time to provoke other casinos.
With such subordinates, it is no wonder that the boss of the Sands Group can earn a million an hour. Still, he was worried that there would be a misunderstanding: "Warren, you take the threatening letter to the hotel, let them check the surveillance footage, and you see if it was sent by the driver." "Since this is a shipment without a courier note, it is impossible for the driver to change hands.
Warren nodded and said, "Okay." He put both the bullets and the threatening letters back in the bag.
After he left, Link said to Benjamin, "Benjamin, you can help me contact two more bodyguards." The demands are the same as you and Warren. ”
Benjamin and Warren were originally bodyguards for Las Vegas Security, and were supposed to provide temporary protection for bodyguard services. Link poached the two of them at a price of 350,000 yuan a year and served as his personal bodyguard. Link likes their good habit of not gambling, and they are also retired SEALs.
Benjamin immediately said, "Okay, boss. "Before, Link was just worried about the threat. Now that the threat had arrived, Benjamin felt that it would be best to find a few more companions.
The annual salary of 350,000 yuan is not too high, and they used to charge 3,000 dollars a day, but they get more than half of that money for their bodyguards, and they can work 100 days a year. Although Link's daily wage is relatively low, their total income for a year is more than double that of when they were in the company. Benjamin, of course, wants to be able to sustain this kind of work. So Link's safety is also important to him and Warren.
An hour later, Warren came back with positive news: "The one who sent the threatening letter was the one contacted by the general manager and secretary of the Venetian." ”
By this time, Link had already hired two more bodyguards. One is called Douglas and the other is called Mike.
Link lowered his eyelids for a moment before saying, "Today we're going to the Venetian." I'll play all night tonight, and after the four of you enter the casino, you take turns taking turns resting in groups of two for four hours. I'll open a room at the Venetian. ”
After explaining the explanation, the five of them left the room.
When Link showed up at the side door of the hotel with three bodyguards, Benjamin was already waiting at the door in his G65. Once in the car, drive straight to the Venetian Hotel.
His actions have always been in the eyes of those casinos. Link had taken turns visiting twenty of the big casinos before, and he had already done it once in a month, and ten of them had already been visited twice by him. And the order of the second round is still the same as the first round as of yesterday.
Today he suddenly changed the order, catching the Venetian casino a little off guard. According to the order of the previous round, he should be going to the Flamingo Casino today. But he appeared in the Venetian. The Venetian hadn't helped him with the game ahead of time.
Other casinos speculated about his change if Flamingo and another casino had made a deal with him. Only MGM guessed one possibility: Link was taking revenge. Moreover, Link decided that the threatening letter was most likely from the Venetians.
This made MGM think that Link might have more energy than they did. Otherwise, how could the evidence be found so quickly?
Link opened two rooms at the Venetian Hotel as planned, allowing Benjamin and Warren to take turns resting. In short, he always brought a bodyguard who had been following him for almost a month - he was still not too comfortable with the two newly hired bodyguards.
