Chapter Eighty-Five: Cash
After Sophia left, Link said to Charlize Theron, "I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow, do you want to come along?" ”
"Las Vegas?"
"Yes, I just got invited, there's a game to attend there, in the VIP room, if you don't have anything to do, you might as well come with me."
This was a special call from the casino manager to Link, there would be a game in the VIP room, and the amount was very large, Link decided not to miss it after thinking about it.
"Okay." Without much thought, Charlize Theron agreed, and the next morning, the two of them got on a plane to Las Vegas together.
After getting off the plane, there was a casino car to pick up Link, and the person in charge was also Link's acquaintance, the manager of the casino hotel.
He didn't pay much attention to Charlize Theron next to Link, it was extremely common for VIP gamblers to bring female companions, and a rich second generation like Link had several.
After staying in the arranged room of the hotel, Link asked Charlize Theron to wait in the room for a while, and after more than two hours, he returned to the hotel room with two large suitcases.
"What is this?" Looking at the two large boxes that Link was carrying, Charlize asked directly.
"Principal for tonight." Link said, placing the box on the coffee table to the side and opening it directly, and then Charlize was startled by the sight in front of him. Yuan opened her big beautiful eyes and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.
I saw two suitcase-sized suitcases, full of dollars, placed in front of her eyes like a small mountain.
Charlize is certainly no stranger to the dollar, and she also guessed that Link is not bad for money, after all, she can be familiar with the children of a rich man like Sophia, and as a model, she is also familiar with judging net worth by a person's dress, but when she sees the cash in front of her, she can't help but be surprised.
After all, at this time, she is not the future emperor, but just an ordinary model who has just come to the United States and is still looking for opportunities.
After a long while, she reluctantly took her eyes off the money, turned to look at Link and said, "You just said that these are the principal. ”
"That's right, tonight's show is a bit big." Link seemed to be in a relaxed tone, but in fact the $10 million he put here was almost all his net worth.
In order to scrape together the tens of millions of dollars, he had emptied all his stock accounts, and if he lost it all this time, I am afraid that Link would not have any money left in hand except for the house he had just bought now.
Of course, Link deliberately prepared the cash, in order to take the opportunity to pretend to be in front of Charlize, otherwise, a direct bank transfer is sufficient, why bother to go to the bank to get so much cash back.
Charlize Theron didn't know that the tens of millions had emptied Link's family, but guessed that Link had at least a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.
After all, in most cases, a person's fixed assets will account for the vast majority of assets, and even many rich people are losers, and if they can take out 10 million dollars to play at once, they will have at least more than ten times, or even dozens of times their assets.
Of course, Link is not pretending to be calm, after all, the mission world has seen the big scene, and he has also seen a lot of wealth, and in the last mission world, he directly gave more than 10 million US dollars in cash to the four long legs, which made Link have a huge change in his mentality towards money.
The most fundamental thing is that the pursuit and goal are different, and naturally money is not so important.
But for Charlize now, this is a huge shock, and Link's purpose has been achieved.
Sometimes money is also the best catalyst and the best motivation, so that Charlize will become more obedient and cooperative in the next learning and communication with Link, and stick to it for a lot longer than before.
As for eight o'clock in the evening, when she went to the VIP room with Link to sign up, although she was weak, she still didn't want to miss the opportunity, insisted on dressing up, and took Link to the VIP room with her.
This VIP event was not Link's most played blackjack in the casino, but Texas Hold'em, and after the money check, the manager said to Link with a smile on his face:
"Sir, the game officially began at half-past eight, and we just sat in the bank, and did not participate in it. Your opponents are other guests. We just charge a certain share. ”
I won't introduce much about the gameplay of Texas Hold'em, but this time there are not many people who participate because the principal amount required to enter the market is 10 million dollars, so according to the manager.
Of course, in such a game, you can re-raise if you lose everything. As long as you have enough money and your opponent is willing to accompany you, you can play as long as you want.
Unlike some small gambling games, Texas Hold'em poker games in the VIP room are actually very difficult to cheat.
Each game is played with a deck of playing cards, all of which are made in a designated factory, and are not used again after each use, but are destroyed on the spot.
Therefore, there is no need to change the cards at all, because each card has a special mark on it, and the dealer will check the card at the end, and the card without a special mark will be invalidated.
It is by relying on strict means to prevent cheating that guests are willing to come here to play, and at the same time, in order to ensure the privacy of guests, there are no cameras in this kind of VIP room, and no photo and video equipment is allowed to be used.
Link led Charlize to the VIP room, where a well-dressed dealer stood at one end of the large oval table in the middle, with two guests on each side of his left and right hands.
Link didn't hesitate to sit across from the dealer after some unusually careful inspection, while Charlize was led to the next attaché to watch.
The room was very large, with a large table in the middle with only the dealer and five guests, including Link, and around the table was a circle of high-end sofas, all of whom came with the guests.
After pulling out the chair and sitting down, Link took off his coat and handed it to the staff next to him, and began to look at his opponent.
First on Link's right was a middle-aged man in a dark suit with gold-rimmed glasses, while next to him was a young black man with sunglasses.
The light in the room is not strong, but Link knows that the other party is wearing sunglasses, which also has the effect of preventing psychological experts from being able to judge to a certain extent through the opponent's expression and eyes.
After all, Texas Hold'em is a very test of mental quality, whether you dare to follow, whether you want to steal chickens or not will have a great impact on your mood.
Link also has some research on psychology, but it is not in-depth, and he did not rely on psychology to participate in the gambling game this time.
In addition, the first person on Link's left is a rather handsome Asian man, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, from some details of the other party's behavior, Link judged that the other party is mostly Japanese.
It is not easy for ordinary Americans to clearly distinguish which country Asians come from, but for Link, he can make a preliminary judgment through a few small details.
The last one is a middle-aged man in a dark suit with a distinctly Italian look, and these four people are Link's opponents in this gamble.
When the time was up, the staff quickly used a cart to deliver a full hundred rectangular transparent chips to Link's side.
Each of these rectangular chips carved from crystal has 100,000 engraved on it, meaning that each of these chips is worth $100,000.
Link soon discovered that several of his opponents had more chips on hand than he had, and it was clear that they had brought in more than $10 million in stake.
After all, $10 million is just a threshold, and it doesn't mean that you can only bring up to $10 million.
This made Link smile lightly, and of course he had to be happy, because he had more than expected to get forty million dollars tonight.
