Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Bad Premonition
After winning tens of millions of dollars in this game, Link seemed to have won one after another, even when the hand was bad, he was always able to give up in time.
In this case, the black young man lost more and more, and finally lost everything, and then he was called out to leave with the others with him.
After a few more rounds, the Japanese man also lost all his chips, but he didn't say anything, just got up and left the place, not looking too concerned.
Through the performance of the other party, it was confirmed that the loss of more than 12 million dollars could not make the muscles and bones hurt, so that Link, who had some expectations to see the other party's frustrated expression, couldn't help but be slightly disappointed.
As time went by, Link had more and more chips in front of him, and the Italian man and the man with gold glasses looked very wrong, but instead of choosing to leave, they decided to continue gambling.
In fact, this is also the common mentality of gamblers, who are unwilling to lose after losing, and will not stop until they even lose everything, and even two people took the initiative to raise five million dollars each after losing all their chips.
But the end result was not a surprise, they ended up losing all the money, and Link won a huge sum of more than 50 million dollars in one night.
At the end of the game, Link didn't look at the last two people, got up and picked up his coat and put it on, reached out to hug Charlize, and said, "It seems that I have good luck today, you are really my goddess of luck." ”
Before leaving the house, a manager came up to Link and bowed, saying that he would exchange Link's chips for a check and deliver it to his room as soon as possible.
Link gave him an account, saying that it was okay to transfer the funds directly to this account, and he didn't worry about the casino embezzling the money, after all, the business is so big, reputation is far more important than temporary interests.
Link and Charlize didn't go straight back to their room after leaving, but went to the restaurant on the top floor for a hearty supper.
Sitting next to the huge and smooth floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the exquisite, beautiful and dazzling night scene outside, Charlize couldn't help but say, "It's really exciting today." ”
"Thank you again." A faint smile tugged at the corner of Link's mouth, and he picked up a piece of delicate pastry and put it in his mouth: "Today's big win is all because of the luck you brought me, you are my goddess of luck." ”
Link's words made Charlize feel so useful that she even narrowed her eyes in enjoyment. Even if you know it's a coaxing.
After supper, I returned to my hotel room and looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, although it was already midnight, but for Las Vegas, there was no night here, and the brilliant lights looked like a dream.
At Link's side, Charlize said: "It's really like a dream, I won more than 50 million dollars in just a few hours, I really can't imagine, I feel that I may not be able to earn so much money in my life." ”
Link said: "I believe that as long as you work hard and become one of the top five supermodels or first-class movie stars, you should be able to earn enough wealth in the future." ”
"Even if I become a supermodel, the annual income is more than one million dollars, or become a top actor to earn more than 10 million dollars a year, but whether it is a model or an actor, the competition is too fierce."
Link thought about it, and it is true that the current models and actors, even the top models and actors, are not comparable to the millions of dollars in income or tens of millions of dollars in salary in the future, so he said:
"Yes, but there are ways to earn more than this time."
"What is it?"
"It's financial investment." "Of course, the financial industry is very profitable, but also very risky, and there are only a few people who can make money," Link said. ”
"You also know how to invest in finance?" Charlize looked at Link.
"I'm a mathematician, and those financial fluctuations are just numbers for me." Link said.
"Mathematicians also know finance? Shouldn't economists know more? ”
"All kinds of financial fluctuations can actually be quantified through mathematical models, and major companies on Wall Street usually hire top mathematicians to serve them on favorable terms and establish various financial mathematical models to invest."
"Of course, I'm more interested in one thing than I am in explaining the boring theory of building mathematical models," Link said. ”
As he spoke, Link turned his head to look Charlize in the eye.
Charlize didn't dodge, Link lowered his head to kiss her, she raised her head slightly in cooperation, four lips were printed together, and the two reached out to hug.
Just like the hoe meets the noon, as if the Qingming meets the river map, the final result will inevitably be one to become the Yellow River, and the other to turn into a sea current.
Link hugged Charlize into the room, kicked the door, and the door slammed shut, and at this moment Charlize faded from his coldness and showed all enthusiasm.
In the face of Charlize's enthusiasm for melting everything, Link could only use thousands of miles of Jiangling in return, and suddenly, Link had a wonderful feeling:
Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the falling water is colorful. If you want to exhaust the forest, the forest will run out of water, and you will get a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, and it enters from the mouth. At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, and it was only through people, and it was repeated dozens of times, and it suddenly became clear......
The next day, Link did not leave immediately, in order to avoid taxes, he turned most of his funds into his own investments in the financial market through various means, leaving only two million dollars in cash on hand.
When he was in a small fight before, Link was able to barely bear to pay taxes, but as the amount increased, the tax rate also increased linearly, and Link didn't want to pay taxes on most of the money he had just received, so he simply adopted various legal tax avoidance methods.
With his research on tax law and sensitivity to numbers, Link can reasonably compress the amount of tax to be paid to an acceptable figure, and even be sure that he will get a partial refund.
After completing this, Link did not forget Charlize, and when he passed by the jewelry store, he also gave her a set of Cartier jewelry as a bonus for her to accompany him.
After this trip, Link began to enter a normal life, more of a daily routine of various exercises, and various courses in the school library.
About ten days before the start of school, Linda returned to Pasadena with Peggy, intending to pack up some of the bits and pieces left in the rented apartment, and Link drove them to Professor Adler's house.
The three of them had a meal with Professor Adler and her mother, Evelyn, before Link put Peggy's mother on a plane back to Texas.
Watching the plane leave, Peggy said to Link: "I'm busy moving, I haven't visited your new home yet, so while it's still early, let me go and see it." ”
"Of course there is no problem." Link nodded, although the backyard is still being renovated, the main house is not in the renovation project, but there will be some noise during the day, and Link usually goes home to rest at night.
started the car and left the airport, but halfway down the road, he found that Link suddenly stopped the car, Peggy said with some doubts: "Link, is there a problem with the car?" ”
She turned her head, only to find that Link looked serious, and without waiting for her to continue to ask, she unbuckled her seat belt and said, "You stay in the car for a while, and don't get out of the car and leave no matter what happens." ”
Peggy then sees Link get out of the car, and she instinctively wants to follow, only to find that the door is locked by Link, and Link is heading towards the back.
At this time, Peggy noticed that an inconspicuous black sedan behind her also stopped, which gave her some bad premonitions.
