Chapter 371: A ready-made backstabber
Watching the girls leave like this, Locke smiled and made his way to the smaller casino alone.
The largest casino in Argo is on five floors, but it only covers a relatively large area, and the number of bets in a single game is certainly far less than that of the casinos here, not to mention that there are only a dozen tables in total, but they all start in four figures.
"I don't mind adding someone." He swiped his card for 100,000 chips, came to a gaming table, and sat down in front of a table playing Texas Hold'em: "Will it disturb?" ”
As he spoke, he also glanced at the female gambler next to him, although the appearance was completely different, Locke knew that she was Lorraine.
"If you want to send money, you don't mind." The female gambler, played by Lorraine, pointed her finger at the chips on the table in front of her, and it seemed that she had won a lot.
The other three looked at it and didn't object, and as for the dealer, it was even more impossible to push the gambler out, nodded to Locke, and started a new round.
The dealer was dealing cards over there, and it was his turn, and the middle-aged man in a colorful mustache sitting opposite Locke smiled, threw a thousand chips in front of him, and said to Locke, who looked obviously very young: "Young man, don't go to your mother if you lose for a while!" ”
The chubby man next to him didn't speak, and he also lost a thousand chips, followed by a man with a little white beard next to Locke, who followed a thousand.
"Thanks for the reminder, but my pocket money is not so easy to lose."
Locke was originally playing at random, he didn't care about this simple provocation, and threw five thousand chips at random, in his eyes, these three people were fat sheep, and they actually took the initiative to find the door, and they really couldn't let go: "Five thousand." ”
Lorraine glanced at Locke, smiled and folded, since Locke wanted to play, then she didn't need to get involved.
"Oh my God, kid, maybe I can teach you a little rule, it's not like this at the gaming table, you don't even look at the cards, just press like that." The mustache continued to provoke, directly following the five thousand chips.
The other two people also followed, and they saw Locke's behavior in their eyes, and they felt that Locke was the fat sheep who rushed to send money.
Still didn't mean to open the hole cards, Locke picked up a 10,000 chips, rolled on the tips of his fingers, and then casually threw them into the gambling pool: "I saw the stars today, and luck is on my side, so I don't need to look at the cards." ”
“……”
"I'm sorry, but today's astrological signs are on my side." Locke smiled and squinted, put the 20,000 chips he had won back in front of him casually, and looked at the mustache opposite: "Lucky win." ”
"Shet!" His casual attitude made the mustache throw out the last card dealt, and the good hand was a good hand, because the last card was lost, the mustache was in a bad mood, and waved to the waitress next to him: "Beauty, bring me a glass of whiskey." ”
The beautiful waitress came over with a tray, followed by a snap and the exclamation of the waitress being slapped on the buttocks.
The mustache stared at Locke and said in a seemingly casual tone, "It seems that the sea is going to be bloody today." ”
"I don't care how you want to play." Locke smiled, anyway, it was hard to go down, and it was definitely impossible for him to lose and jump into the sea.
……
The time to play cards passed very quickly, although the mustache let out cruel words, but still quite sensible, and when he lost $300,000, he stopped in time, and left the table directly without knowing where to vent his anger.
Then, Locke got up and went to the nearby lounge with Lorraine, and began to chat softly while tasting the drinks provided by the waiter.
"How do you know the whereabouts of Carlo You Ying, and you also choose to do it on a cruise ship." Locke asked.
"The opportunity to take the initiative to find a door-to-door business is rare." Lorraine straightened the shoulder straps of the white dress, leaned against Locke's side, looked around, and said casually: "The owner of this cruise ship, Canton, feels the pressure because of the bank loan, so he wants to cause an accident. ”
When Canton built this cruise ship, which is claimed to be the world's most luxurious, it was naturally impossible to use all of his own money, and most of the funds actually came from bank loans.
Although his fame is not small, but if he calculates carefully, his net worth is only two or three hundred million, which is naturally far from enough to build this cruise ship.
In order to build a cruise ship, he was saddled with a huge loan, although judging from the full capacity of the cruise ship, it is still profitable, and if it continues, it can still pay off the loan, but this also requires a long cycle.
However, two loans were about to expire, and the money he had on hand was not enough to repay them for the time being, and the bank was reluctant to provide new loans, which caused problems in his capital chain.
As the repayment date approached, he did not find a new source of funds, and saw that the newly built cruise ship could be recycled and auctioned by the bank, in which case the money obtained in this case may not even be enough for him to repay the loan, and at the same time, his own investment was also lost, which means that he will soon have nothing.
There are naturally some people behind this, that is, seeing that he is short of funds, he is eyeing his piece of fat, and the other party's background is not small, otherwise Mr. Canton would not be completely unable to find a new source of funds, but he naturally cannot be willing.
So he came up with the idea of having the cruise ship crash, encounter 'robbers' and be sunk so that he could get the ransom and the insurance company compensated.
And when looking for a 'professional', he happened to find the head of the organization established by Lorraine, especially when he found out that Carrot Youying was also on the list of passengers on the maiden flight, Lorraine took over the 'business' without hesitation.
"Tomorrow night, when the cruise ship is deep into the open sea, Mr. Canton is responsible for destroying the cruise ship's control system, and then my men will come to the cruise ship by boat, and kill Carrot You Eagle can do it casually."
"This cruise ship is not small, how many people have you prepared?"
"There are twenty-one people arranged on the cruise ship, who will control the key control room and other places at the first time, and there are eighty-seven people who will come by boat after the cruise ship has problems, and it is enough to control the situation." Lorraine says:
"At that time, the whole system of the cruise ship will be paralyzed and become an island, and I have already got a comprehensive design plan for the cruise ship, and I have a complete plan.
The passengers and waiters in the ordinary class are not my goal, I will lock them in the cabin, the key is the passengers on the luxury class, after this success, the organization will not be short of funds for at least a long time, and many plans can be implemented. ”
"In other words, I will also be the target of your 'kidnapping'?!"
"That's right." Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Does Mr. Locke think he's worth a hundred million dollars?" ”
"Then I've taken a big advantage, but have you thought about how to get out?"
Locke really didn't expect Lorraine to plan to do such a big thing, and sure enough, it was Lorraine, who was actually going to make such a big thing in order to raise funds.
Most of the passengers in the luxury cabin of the cruise ship are either rich or expensive, and if they deduct money from them, they will inevitably face all kinds of severe blows afterwards, which she must understand, but she doesn't know what she is prepared for.
"The C.I.A. isn't going to track down a bunch of 'dead people,' and isn't Mr. Canton a ready-made backbiter?" Lorraine said confidently.
