Chapter 083: Crazy Profit
Sandra's hands-on teaching is a bit ...... Special. But whatever, the sea is empty and uninhabited, and the yacht is for pleasure, Shi Hu doesn't know how much he masters, but he unlocks a lot of postures under the sun...... A few days later, the bag bearer came with the news that the game was ready.
The appeal of $100 million seems to be quite large. There was no friction, Shi Hu rushed to win money, Sandra rushed to vacation, flew from Miami to Milan, and then transferred to the border, destination: Slovenia. It is a small European country, bordering Italy and Austria, with a population of more than 2 million.
The casino is located in Nova Gorica, a city close to Italy, which is very much in line with the literary imagination of a small European city: clean, laid-back and picturesque. Whether it's for leisure or retirement, it's a great place to go. And the casino hotel in the city brings a bit of excitement to life.
When the convoy arrived, the bag bearer took them to the hotel. There is a helper to handle the problem of check-in, and the intermediary ensures that gamblers enjoy the best service and the most comfortable environment. Because gambling can bring them 3%-5% of the income, Shi Hu's capital alone is 100 million.
The bag bearer explained the rules in detail, including that players need to verify their capital, that the funds are held by a Swiss bank, and that when the hand is over, the bank's manager will discuss the matter with the winner. The rule is that players are not allowed to quit halfway, and only the only winner can take the money.
But people's hearts are greedy, and they all have the ambition to win 100 million with 10 million or 20 million.
After a good rest the next day, the evening gambling began, and there was no one-man entry, the bag bearer had already wrapped up the poker room, and carefully prepared a pre-gambling cocktail party, where men and women appeared in formal attire, holding champagne glasses, and had a polite conversation.
It is hard for outsiders to imagine that this is actually the opening warm-up of the gambling game.
"But the atmosphere is enjoyable, isn't it?" Sandra told Shi Hu that she liked the environment, which was comfortable and relaxed, showing off her style.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, charming lady." It was already the third man to kiss the back of her hand.
"Yes, ma'am." Sandra corrected with a smile.
"Then he must be a lucky man." The bearded man complimented, and then looked at Shi Hu.
Shi Hu stretched out his hand: "Tiger Stone." ”
"Mr. Stone?" The man realized, "So you are the gentleman who made the bet?" Viktor Grollev! ”
"Russia?" Shi Hu looked at the other party, Russians are still a little different from other white people, probably because their ancestors are mixed with a small number of yellow blood.
"That doesn't stop me from being enthusiastic, is it?" Grolev laughed.
"No, I like it!" Shi Hu used Russian.
The other party was surprised, and then laughed: "I like you too!" Friend! ”
Both switched to speaking in Russian. Shi Hu heard from the girl who taught him Russian earlier, Russians are usually quite cold, they don't give smiles casually, and they don't like to put on a fake "waiter's smile", but Grolev is an exception.
As the conversation deepened, the two also exchanged business with each other, Shi Hu made it clear that he was running a casino, and Grolev said that he was doing some financial business. Shi Hu didn't believe it, because the other party was a pair of ...... Wearing sunglasses and a suit, the feeling of a proper mafia, although more enthusiastic.
However, Grolev didn't believe that Shi Hu only opened a casino, and he vaguely asked about the casino's funds...... Shi Hu didn't understand it in the front, but when he was playing cards later, he accidentally remembered that this guy was not talking about the problem of money laundering in casinos! Ten will not be serious business.
After talking here, move on to the others.
By the time Shi Hu guessed whether they wanted to do a ballroom dance, the warm-up cocktail event finally ended, and the players took their seats at the table. Dressed in beautiful dresses and gentle wives, or lovers, sit down at the small tables around them, and enjoy wine and snacks.
The rules are the same as before, Shi Hu's funds are divided into two parts, with a maximum of 50 million chips - if it is 100 million, it is unfair to the rest of the players, and the big chip players have their own advantages. So in two installments, both of these held funds have to be wagered and walked around the table.
It doesn't matter to Shi Hu, whether it's 10 million or 50 million, he can win.
Sandra had already seen how he could read cards, and she wasn't worried. She sat elegantly with her legs folded on the side, drank champagne, and chatted with the lady next to her, mostly on vacation and outdoor sports. Westerners' ups and downs, she is easy to come to and knows how to do it.
Shi Hu is also quite comfortable, there are not many masters at the poker table, more gamblers who take one or two million to try their luck. Compared with playing cards, some people are more concerned about what business Shi Hu does. He figured it out, and the reason is the same as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and other sky-high lunches.
However, this lunch is a bit more expensive, and it is just an act of giving money.
Thinking about the long term, Shi Hu didn't behave too professionally, always saw through other people's hole cards, and was easy to scare away the fish. Putting some bait and letting them win first, without creating the impression that the opponent is unbeatable, is the trickle of water - the truth Sandra once told him that she was very old.
Shi Hu lost more times than he won, but his chips kept growing.
This creates an illusion for the opponent: he did not seize the opportunity of his loss and knew how to play more.
……
In the first game, it took a day and a half to play, and Shi Hu won as expected, deducting the principal of 40 million and taking away 75 million US dollars from the six opponents. After deducting the intermediary and casino pumps, there can still be 70 million - taxes can actually be avoided, Shihu has the services of Swiss UBS.
In fact, this gambling game itself is to avoid tax calculations, the chips they use are not equal to the amount, the gambling amount is in the UBS system, overseas offshore companies, as long as the funds are not traded in Slovenia, who can manage the tax problem?
In total, Shi Hu's net profit is about 65 million.
In the second round, which unfolds later, three players quit, but two more players make up. Shi Hu's starting bankroll is $60 million, which is also carried out in three stages, with the blinds in the initial stage being 200,000/400,000, doubling in the middle, and finally 750,000/1.5 million hands.
The final stage was the biggest blind Shi Hu had ever encountered.
A big blind of millions of hands, even the bag bearer admits that this is a rare big hand. It could be that everyone is very welcoming, or it may be that it is too cold in winter and there is nothing to do. Another reason is that Shi Hu's winning hands are too dependent on luck, and the illusion makes people think that the win rate is high.
Maybe pour a basin of cold water on them and they will be sober.
But the hotel provided hot water...... Shi Hu struck while the iron was hot, this time the average participation of players was about 35 million US dollars, and the four players totaled 140 million US dollars, if you add Shi Hu's 60 million, this card has a total of 200 million US dollars, and the first two stages accept players to make up.
No matter how smart people are, there will be times when they make mistakes, and this time there is no doubt that they have become the gift boys. Shi Hu still loses more and wins less, but he wins a lot, and on several occasions he deliberately loses a lot, so that they can also experience the feeling of riding a roller coaster...... But in the end, it was the probability of victory.
In the three-day battle, 140 million yuan was pocketed, deducting the pump, the service fees of the Swiss bank, etc., Shi Hu received 128 million, plus the previous 65 million, this week-long battle, he swept away 193 million US dollars - his biggest gamble at present, which may be rare in the future.
They had a party that night to celebrate.
This is another big income for Shi Hu in the past six months, but unfortunately it is not very often, if it is once a month...... Dreams are always beautiful. After this battle, these rich people who like to play cards are estimated to have to calm down for a while, and the gambling boat does not always have big card games.
Sandra kind of appreciated his "money-grabbing" methods, and she also invested in it, enjoying a 15% share of the profits, which is $28.95 million - she can't think of any other project that would win that much money in just one week from start to finish.
Shi Hu said: "Maybe buying a lottery ticket can be counted." ”
She was serious: "Shall we go buy it?" 'EuroMillions' could even roll over to hundreds of millions of pounds! ”
