The chances are great, the opponent is weak, and it is easy to make a lot of money...... A pie fell from the sky, right in the head of the stone tiger. But as the old Chinese saying goes, "If you don't do anything, you will be a thief," and Shi Hu and Paul are not related – not even in their previous lives. So what is his purpose?

Shi Hu was not used to beating around the bush, so he asked directly.

Paul didn't hide it either: "I'm in charge of training, recommending and providing the necessary help, and you're going to give me a commission on the profits, 30 percent." ”

"Too high." Shi Hu shook his head, he had to bargain.

Paul gives the second option: "Of course, there is also a second way, and if you win enough money, I can transfer this hotel to you." ”

"Then you're not taking more?" Shi Hu despised it, he had studied cost and accounting, although this was not a hotel on both sides of the long street, but it would cost tens of millions to say the least.

"But it's able to generate profits." Paul said.

"Are you a layman for me? Show me the financial statements for five years. "Shi Hu has no fear, the class has an axe, and he deceived the accountant, right?

"No problem." Unexpectedly, Paul was refreshed. "But we have to talk about it after you show that you have the strength to cooperate."

"Naturally." Shi Hu is also refreshing.

Shi Hu is inclined to the latter, the former has to give up thirty percent of his share, although he doesn't know how much he can earn, but the old man said that the bonus is higher than the WSOP, which proves that there is indeed a profit, and three percent is too painful. If it is a transaction of fixed assets, it is not a unilateral bleed, and the heart is more comfortable.

But the choice is on Paul's side, he doesn't cooperate, and Shi Hu doesn't have a problem.

……

If there is a preliminary intention, Shi Hu has to understand the details.

Paul said a lot of things, and they are all concepts that normal people will never encounter in their lifetime: the international black market. Of course, film and television works are also suspected of using the concept badly, but he talks about the real world, and can even understand its dynamics and the demand status of various industries through the Internet.

Paul takes him to his office, and a young white man in his early twenties appears. Paul didn't introduce him, just called him John. John was a thin man, wearing a baseball cap and looking a little unathletic, only behind heavy nearsighted glasses, reflecting the colors of adventure.

John sat down in front of the computer, his fingers dancing on the keyboard.

Paul simply: "He wants to use the network he has set up to access the dark web anonymously. ”

[Dark Web: Deep-Web, a hidden network that cannot be searched or accessed through normal channels, with the onion network (.onion) being the most typical, such as: black market reloading, Silk Road (mainly drug trafficking, guns and money laundering, which has been eliminated by the U.S. Department of Justice). 】

Shi Hu had never heard of the dark web, so he was curious.

When John is done, enter a web address and a login ID.

There is not much information on black market websites, most of them are displayed in text, with relevant schedules, event times and codes.

Paul pointed to some data: "This page is to introduce members to the past three months, the flow of funds in the gambling ships on the high seas has been increasing. ”

"Billion?" Shi Hu was surprised.

"That's right." Paul nodded, "Of course, most of them are money laundering, and if you go around the casino, you will be laundered in various ways. But it is undeniable that on luxury cruise ships, there will be a large group of whims who gamble with unwashed money or supplies. ”

"What do you say about supplies?" Shi Hu asked shamelessly.

"It's usually an area where international intermediaries can set foot in, blood diamonds, arms or drugs, etc., after the value is appraised, they can all be put on the gambling table."

"Crazy World." Shihu's worldview is being refreshed.

"If they can go through the tables and win even more, they don't have to launder their money – casinos usually only charge 15%-20% rake, which is much less than traditional channels. Adventure and fluke are felt by people of all colors and colors all over the world. ”

Shi Hu figured out that he wanted to mix in and gamble with those crazy speculators. Quantity means more chances, and combined with his superb poker skills and mind-reading skills, there is hope for a big win...... No wonder Paul looks down on WSOP bonuses, I see.

Shi Hu still had questions: "They blatantly release information, not afraid of being arrested?" ”

Paul smiled: "First of all, this is just information, the world is so big, can you know where the gambling ship is?" Are there any temporary replacements? Secondly, it is the high seas, and the gambling ships are all Panamanian, and no matter what, it is difficult for the Panamanian government to manage it; Finally, gambling on the high seas is legal. ”

The dull John also spoke: "They engage in multiple operations, and all three come secretly: using the dark web as a cover, usually using normal commercial cruise ships, replacing them at any time, and illegal transactions that do not occur in person, all of which are handled in a third country through intermediaries." I can't find it, and there is no evidence to catch it. ”

Paul added: "Unless there are ballistic missiles on it, it has to be sent to Cuba." ”

……

Where there is light, there must be darkness.

This is the black circle on the back side of the bright world, and even if it is as powerful as the United States, it is difficult to control black crime - because it can never be caught, and if black A falls today, black B will rise tomorrow. Tracking down is labor-intensive and material-intensive, and it is better to keep an eye on a fixed target.

What Shi Hu needs to do is: mix it up and consume it.

It's as simple as that, but the intermediary will conduct a background check on him, first to confirm whether he is white, whether he is Interpol, an undercover agent for the black market? After passing this level, there are basically no problems. Oh yes, professional poker players, not very popular there.

The intermediaries don't mind, but those tyrants who have hundreds of millions of black money in their hands and play tens of millions of dollars on the gambling table don't like professional masters -- they like to win their money from their peers, that is, from the hands of drug dealers and corrupt officials, and enjoy the pleasure of eating black.

What role does Shi Hu want to play?

Paul thought about it and said targetedly: "You can play the relative of a Chinese official, your father is a bureau chief, and he has a lot of money to launder ......"

Shi Hu asked, "Wait, why does it have to be the director?" ”

Paul said, "Because the rulers are very rich, I have seen your chief, who throws millions of dollars in one night, without blinking an eye, and the servants applaud." ”

Shi Hu was a little dumbfounded, and didn't argue with him: "Okay, but I think the hall director is better." ”

"What kind of official is the director?" Foreigners, naturally, do not understand.

"The more powerful kind, a slap can make the rich can't eat and walk around."

"Politicians are not afraid of the rich?" Paul is an American mindset, and politicians are the spokesmen of the rich and the conglomerates; The capitalists are the financiers of the politicians.

"Not in China." Shi Hu shook his head.

"Then how happy Chinese politicians are, I really envy them!" Paul was surprised that there were politicians in his family, but he was fed up with the bullshit attitude of the capitalists.

Shi Hu said: "You can let him try ......"

Paul shook his head: "To get the point, you are a close confidant of the director's family, and you are responsible for helping him deal with a black money transferred abroad, but your gambling habits are difficult to change - you know that the casino welcomes Orientals." ”

"Please, don't digress." Shi Hu smiled.

"You're a potential client I've introduced, you're a gambler by nature, and you want to compete with the big guys at the table - as long as you have this idea, the agent will be happy to arrange it for you, and if the other party also accepts your participation. Congratulations, let's show off your amazing skills. ”

……

There are many things to prepare. First of all, Shi Hu has to improve his poker skills, it is undeniable that straw bales exist, but there are also masters hidden in them; Second, Paul had to make a beautiful account for him, showing that he had tens of millions of black money, which required the help of financial personnel. In the end, he had to fit the identity.

Finally, Westerners don't know much about China, and it's easy to operate. The identity is mainly to convince the agent and the other party's agent that this guy is very powerful, and it also makes the other party's employer willing to play with him...... To sum it up, it is one sentence: life is not easy, it all depends on acting skills.

Paul put sweet dates: "If you're lucky, you can win hundreds of millions of dollars in a week." ”

It's just that a high bet can easily become a one-time deal: if you perform too well, no one will want to play with you next time. And the long flow of fine water, the cycle becomes correspondingly longer. Shi Hu wants to get money quickly, and Paul also wants to retire and enjoy himself and marry a wife twenty years younger than him. The two coincide.
