672 Meeting an old acquaintance again (monthly pass)
The girls all listened briefly to the conversation between Feilun and Jin Feng. They vaguely knew that Feilun flew to the casino just to participate in the gambling competition. They were all quite surprised. Is there really such a thing as gambling in this world?
At least as close as Miliya, she had almost never seen Faerun perform gambling skills. She only saw it a little bit when Jin Feng and Faerun had a big showdown during the last show. However, all the girls were there at the time, which made her Be careful to feel a little bit resentful.
On the contrary, Beth, who is a CIA agent, knows that it is not unusual for the third place in the 1998 Las Vegas World Gambling Championship to be good at gambling, but how good is Ferran's gambling skills? She, a beautiful agent who didn't do much research, didn't know much about it, so she could take this opportunity to take a closer look.
Just when Feilun and his party, led by Jin Feng, went deep into the Golden Palace Hotel and Casino, the second flight taken by Amena, Genke and Phoebe had already landed in McCarran.
At the same time, the border patrol police had found a suspected gap in the iron fence where the Greyhound bus penetrated into the desert. However, facing the endless sand, no ruts could be found, and the border patrol police had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh: What can I do! After receiving the news, the Los Angeles General Administration and the FBI were immediately overwhelmed and had to immediately contact Edwards Air Force Base near Palmdale and request them to send helicopters to search the desert near the gap in the iron fence.
But a Yankee is a Yankee. Don’t say that you didn’t sign a confidentiality agreement with him. Even if you signed it, the other party might not leak the information. So, after the helicopter took off and left the base, several knowledgeable guys on the ground called each other. I contacted familiar newspapers and magazines and prepared to break the news.
From the perspective of these guys, the confidentiality agreement they signed was for the military anyway, and the missing bus case was under the jurisdiction of the police. It was nothing to make some extra money by revealing it.
Ahem, I have to say that this can be regarded as a manifestation of the concept of "money first"!
Subsequently, the mainstream media in Los Angeles or the entire California were in chaos. Because the morning newspapers had already started to be sold, the media that only had print channels had to add more prints and even resell the news, while the TV broadcasters Media outlets waiting for channels quickly broke in with urgent news.
Now, the Luocheng General Bureau was having a lot of fun! The number of people calling the police station to inquire about relevant cases suddenly increased dramatically, and even the local Jiuyaoyao main station was busted.
Some media even declared on TV: "There was a big incident in the past where the California gang godfather and dozens of his men were wiped out, and now there is a weird incident where a bus and dozens of passengers disappeared. The security of Los Angeles, California's Public security, what’s wrong with this?”
As soon as this news came out, it was almost like forcing the current Los Angeles Police Chief to step down!
After receiving the report, the Los Angeles police chief was so angry that he vomited blood. He couldn't relax the work at hand, otherwise he would just stand in the pit without shit, and more words and quarrels would fly towards him!
At this time, Feilun, who was related to both major cases, came to the lobby of the Golden Palace Casino under the guidance of Jin Feng. As for the luggage of Miliya and the girls, they were also sent upstairs under Jin Feng's arrangement. The presidential suite.
I saw that the place where three roulette tables were originally placed in the middle of the hall had long been cleared away, and now there was a machine as tall as a person. Feilun was a little surprised and said: "What is that?"
"The card dealer is an instrument used for preliminary selection!" Jin Feng introduced, "The rules are very simple. Anyone who has paid the registration fee for this competition can try it. Blackjack is the biggest, who is dealing the cards?
The more cards you draw within the seconds of the machine dealing cards, the bigger your points will be, and the shorter your reaction time will be, the higher you will be ranked, but only the top 512 will be taken!"
Feilun frowned when he heard this: "Isn't this exposing your strength in advance?"
Jin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Who says it's not the case!"
It is precisely for this reason that there were many onlookers in the splendid hall, but no one came up to try it out.
Beth, who knew a little bit about gambling, looked a little eager to give it a try, and asked Jin Feng: "Hey, I want to give it a try, how much is the registration fee?"
Jin Feng thought Bess was Fei Lun's lover and casually replied: "Not much, one million US dollars!"
scare!
Beth was shocked by the price. You must know that she and her sister Regina have worked hard over the years and used many crooked tricks to accumulate less than 20 million U.S. dollars. This will cost them both
The sisters only have so much jewelry of all kinds, but this is such a crappy gambling contest. The registration fee alone will cost them a tenth of their property. It’s really a murder without blood!
Fearon knew what Beth was thinking, and when he saw her hesitating, he immediately teased her: "If you win the gambling championship, you can get 250 million US dollars!"
In fact, the 250 million is the sum of the fees paid by the finalists, minus any fractions, rounded up. This year, only 512 people were shortlisted, so the total prize is 500 million, with the first place getting half. Even though it’s a lot of money
, in fact, the wool comes from the sheep. On the contrary, the host casino gets the big head, because according to past trends, the number of finalists and the number of applicants are basically half and half. In other words, the casino can receive 1 billion
Registration fee in US dollars.
"Two hundred and fifty million!?" Beth was startled again, and suddenly felt like "she and her sister Regina have worked in vain all these years."
Miliya saw the matter very clearly, folded her arms and said: "If the champion is only worth 250 million, then the total prize money for the following rankings will not exceed this amount, and the total prize amount is only about 500 million. It seems that the event will be held
This casino will make a lot of money from a betting game!"
"Of course!" Fearon said with a smile, "According to my estimation, the direct income of the Golden Palace Casino this time will not be less than 600 million U.S. dollars, and as for the indirect income, it can easily exceed 1 billion!"
Hearing this, Christina and Yu Sha, who had been silent for a long time, looked at each other and couldn't help but feel numb from the shock. Yu Sha was even more worried and said: "Alan, you'd better not spend that money.
Have you signed up?"
Feilun laughed loudly when he heard this, and Jin Feng beside him said: "Miss Yu, Master Jiu has entrusted my father to pay the registration fee for Mr. Fei!"
When the girls heard this answer, they were a little stunned. After all, Jin Feng's tone was too relaxed, as if the registration fee was one hundred yuan instead of one million!
Beth felt even more resentful. If she had known that gambling masters were so popular, why would she and her sister have been working so hard all these years? Wouldn't it be great to just practice their gambling skills and compete in the competition, and win one or two first places?
Just when the women were thinking about their thoughts, a man in a suit with rimless glasses and a slim build came over with two bodyguards as strong as bears.
This man is in his late thirties. His angular white appearance makes it obvious at a glance that he is of Germanic descent, and his sinister eyes add to his fierce aura.
After arriving in front of Feilun, a smile suddenly appeared on this guy's stern face: "Haha, Allen, I didn't expect you to come this year!" After saying that, without waiting for Feilun to reply, he came over with a bear hug.
Feilun hugged him and said with a smile: "You, the most noble person in the world, are here. How could I not come and see you?"
The man with rimless glasses waved his hand, looked at Feilun with complex eyes and said, "If you hadn't wanted it back then, it would never have been my turn to be number one in the world!"
"Louis, please don't come here. I don't know you yet. When you were in the final with Joel, you didn't give your best!" Fearon pointed at the opponent mercilessly.
The man with rimless glasses, Louis Robinson, who finally won the gambling competition in 1998, smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "I've been guessing that you can see through me, and it's true!"
Just as Fearon was about to wave his hand and say something modestly, Robinson continued: "Don't let me do it this time, because it would be a boring bet."
"It's boring to gamble, but it's better than losing your life!" Fei Lunruo said with profound meaning.
Robinson understood what Fearon meant, but shook his head and said: "Actually, I am no different from an alcoholic. If I can't gamble to my heart's content, then there is no fun in this life. I might as well die!"
Fearon was startled when he heard what he said and did not comment on what he said. Unexpectedly, Robinson pointed to the card machine in the middle of the field and said, "How is it? Have you signed up?" Seeing Fearon nod, "Are you interested in following me?
Take a gamble?"
"How to bet?" Fearon raised his eyebrows.
"It's very simple, gambling luck!" Robinson said, "I also inquired about this card machine. Each card dealing lasts three to five seconds and is divided into left and right channels. The cards in the machine are all used in the casino.
The discarded cards were disrupted in advance, and now there is no card on the ground, which means that no one has tried this card machine... If we have a bet, then we will bet on the machine dealing cards for the second and third times.
How about adding up the points of the fifth card from the left and right sides from the beginning?"
Hearing this, Fearon muttered: "Louis, this machine may also cheat when shuffling cards."
"You..." Louis Robinson was very angry when he heard this, "I have just arrived, how could I possibly mess with this?"
"That's impossible to say!" Feilun said with a smile: "Since you want to gamble on luck, you might as well..."
"What better?" Robinson asked anxiously, "If you have something to say, just say it. If it's appropriate, it's not impossible to use your method!"
"It's very simple. You just came in from the outside, and people keep coming in this hall. I'm going to suffer a bit. How about we ask any two people who come in from the outside to draw cards and guess the points?"
As soon as Feilun said this, everyone else present felt incredible. Such a bet was simply too unexpected.
"Okay, let's do it like this!" Robinson said, "But this is the first time for the number of people who have come in, do you or should I say it?"
"I said, I'll suffer a little loss, just tell me!" Feilun said seemingly generously.
"Then I'll choose third and..."
"Seventh!" Feilun said, "Two of us, one for you and one for me, it's fair!"
Robinson rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "Then you still say that you will suffer some losses?"
"You came in from outside after me. Aren't I at a disadvantage?"
Hearing this, Robinson was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Wow, you are so mean-spirited, what about me? I..."
