0403 alms
Richard left in embarrassment with his little finger, but Lynch had no intention of getting up immediately.
In fact, he has almost figured out the information about this group of people. They are a fraud group.
This kind of fraud gang is different from the traditional fraud gang. Their fraud methods are more subtle. Even if they are discovered, it is difficult to deal with them.
The four gamblers in the room are all local "entrepreneurs", entrepreneurs in name only. They gain social recognition by acquiring some small and micro businesses that are on the verge of bankruptcy, allowing people to realize that they are indeed real businesses.
business owner.
They are very active in local society and often attend various dinner parties, which gives people a feeling that they are very capable.
If some entrepreneurs and wealthy people who have just arrived in the local area want to quickly develop their business and enter the local business circle, they will definitely need some enthusiastic people to help them.
And these people will show enthusiasm for new friends.
They are willing to chat with new friends and talk about some rules and things in the local business community, but the content of the chat is limited to the surface.
Those new friends think that they may have some concerns, or that they are not familiar enough with each other, so the other party is not willing to communicate with each other, so the new friends will want to become good friends with these people as soon as possible.
Playing cards is obviously the fastest way to establish friendship. From the first time, people's attention will go beyond their own demands and shift to this gambling game, becoming deeply addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
There is always something that naturally attracts people's attention and makes them irresistible.
This kind of gameplay is simple, fresh, exciting, and fast-paced. Everything about it impacts people's sensitive nerves and makes them crazy!
It is true that some people can break free, and this gang will not force them to stay, but there are more people who are dragged into the water by them.
Just like Richard, he gradually forgot the purpose of his initial friendship with these people, which was to get some career help so that he could get rid of the constraints of the company and find a way to establish his own company.
As a result..., he was deeply involved.
Someone once sued them, but to no avail.
First of all, they don't force people to gamble with them, and they must lose money to them. All this is people's spontaneous behavior. You can't sue because you lose money playing cards, and ask yourself to lose.
Even if the money is returned, the judge will not support this request.
Secondly, most of the victims are outsiders who have just arrived in the local area. They have not established enough power and connections in the local area to fight against these fraud gangs. If the law cannot support them to recover their losses, then some private methods are also very effective.
Hard to recover.
So the fraud committed by these people is not the same thing as fraud in the strict sense. As for their dealer cheating, have you caught him cheating?
This group of people lived a very good life here relying on this method. Even today, they still live in a villa, carry high-quality Croft in their mouths, wear exquisite clothes and go to various drinking parties, and sleep with all kinds of girls.
Not just here, but also in other places, including Bupen.
Everyone's methods may be different, but their routines and methods have not changed much. In the final analysis, they still take advantage of some people's eagerness to quickly open up the situation and let them actively jump into the trap.
But this good thing also ended here, because they met Lynch.
"My ignorant friend has left, but the game is not over yet..." He picked up the cards on the table and shuffled them, then quickly divided them into several piles and looked sideways at the four people in another room.
Gentlemen with pale faces.
The bartenders and waiters in the room had already been subdued. In fact, when Lynch took out his Security Committee ID, these people knew that there was no point in resisting.
They were sitting at the table, looking as ugly as their dead father. With a vague smile on his face, Lynch stretched out his hand and said, "You can place your bets, gentlemen!"
The chips were thrown on the table one by one willingly or unwillingly. Lynch didn't even look at their cards, "Sorry, I won..."
The chips were taken away by him, and the poker game started again. In the "Sorry, I won" whispered by the devil again and again, these people lost completely.
"Mr. Lynch, we have no money anymore...", it may be the leader of the gang who spoke first, "Look, we have lost all the money in our pockets. I can't continue playing. How about waiting?"
Shall we organize the card game again in two days?"
In two days?
In less than two days, as soon as Lynch left, they would immediately pack up and move to another place. Anyway, the real estate would not be disposed of as ownerless property just because they left for a short time, and the money in the bank would not escape.
But his idea didn't go as expected. Lynch paused briefly in dealing the cards, then started dealing the cards again, "Did you just see Richard cut off his own finger?"
Several people looked at each other, and some fear suddenly appeared in their pupils. They nodded reluctantly and said, "Yes, sir."
After Lynch dealt out the cards in his hand, he looked at these people, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. One finger counts you ten thousand yuan, one arm counts you one hundred thousand dollars..." He chuckled, "Come on, place your bets."
, gentlemen!”
…
Before dinner, Lynch squeezed all the cash from these people and the bank. It didn't matter whether they hid some more. The total amount was close to three hundred thousand.
In fact, this money is not all the property of these people. Lynch is very clear about this. Including the house, the luxury cars outside the house, the real estate and investment products they may own in other places, they are all money.
.
Lynch was not a gang member who would knock people's bones and suck their marrow. He just wanted to teach these people a lesson, so he let them go.

In the evening, he had a casual dinner at the hotel where he was staying. Just after eight o'clock, the front desk called his room.
About seven or eight minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Lynch opened the door. Adelaide, the governor's chief of staff and his relative, came in.
"Mr. Lynch, we meet again!" Adelaide wore a blue striped short-sleeved shirt and a pair of casual pants. After the two shook hands, Lynch invited him into the room.
Adelaide's face is always filled with a smile. In fact, it is difficult for everyone not to show a flattering smile when facing Lynch at this time.
He has grown too fast, to an astonishing degree. Now he is not just rich, but has entered the president's circle through some means and has become a new upstart in a certain sense!
And all of this comes from Adelaide himself!
The mayor of Sabine City wrote a report to the governor's office. Most of the time, the governor does not have time to read these reports. He has more important things to do, so after reading these reports and summarizing the contents of the report, the governor
What the staff does.
Adelaide summarized some incisive sentences and gave them to the governor, and quoted some of them, which attracted the attention of the President. Lynch was invited to attend the celebration of the President.
In this entire line, Adelaide plays a role that may not be obvious, but it is definitely not unimportant. He conveys this idea, and then the idea is accepted by people.
But no one would have thought that just by attending Mr. President’s celebration, Lynch would seize the opportunity. Sometimes fate really likes to joke with people!
"After the governor learned that you were here, he wanted to talk to you. Do you have time tomorrow?"
Lynch nodded, "I have time in the afternoon."
"That's great, we can set the time a little later, and you can have dinner with the governor!" Adelaide breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became more sincere, "That's right.
, there may be reporters taking photos for you at that time.”
"Can I know in advance what the governor wants to talk to me about?" Lynch asked a question. He didn't think he and the governor had much in common, and Adelaide also talked about taking photos.
"You know, I rarely come here, and my career is not here, so..."
"It doesn't matter!" Adelaide said enthusiastically, "Actually, these have nothing to do with your industry or anything like that, because it's the end of the year, and next year is an election year."
Adelaide's words made Lynch suddenly understand. He was in a daze for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses, "I think I understand!"
Some things are "final". The federal gubernatorial election will be scheduled in the first half of the election year. Generally, the gubernatorial election will start in October of this month. By February next year, each state will elect a new term.
The candidate for governor within the House of Representatives, followed immediately by the presidential campaign.
The governor of the Byler Federation has great power and can almost be said to be the king of a small kingdom. To a certain extent, the president is not as popular as the governor.
Because the president can only be re-elected for a maximum of two terms, while governors, except for four states with special districts, 13 of the 17 states can be re-elected without limit.
As long as they are not tyrannical and can make the people trust and support them, they will be able to sit in the governor's position until they can no longer take care of themselves - this is not a negative and malicious description, this is what all governors yearn for most.
.
But not all governors can be re-elected continuously. Most governors only serve for four or eight years, because this time is enough for the people in the state to see whether the governor they elected can make people happy.
If he can't, why should he continue as governor?
In previous years, most governors would not be worried, but this time it is different. The federation has just experienced an unprecedented economic recession. Every state is full of people who have no jobs and have to face life. People are resentful.
It's already boiling over, and if you're not careful, all the governors in the federation may have to be fired and replaced.
So at this time, the governors began to think of solutions.
