The executive rushed out of the office. After half a day, there seemed to be fewer people than before.
"Did anyone lose money?" He looked at the people gambling below, puzzled.
"Yes, but the winnings are not enough to compensate for the losses."
The executive took a deep breath and comforted himself. "It's okay. Today is a celebration for a new owner. Many people came to support us. It's good to give them some winnings. We can win them back in the future. There's still a long way to go. If we don't have enough money, we can take it from the vault of another store and use the finance department there to make up for it. "
"I called them. They also lost money. Currently, they have less than 10 million yuan left, and they lost more than 50 million yuan." The person in charge of the insurance company frowned. "And I've never encountered such a big loss in this line of work, unless there are professional gamblers with large amounts of money to challenge. Because a single bet is large, the liquidity is also very high. But today, we checked the surveillance and found that a single bet did not exceed 300 thousand yuan. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a big loss. It's a full 50 million yuan. If we include the money we won, the budget is 60 million yuan."
The executive paced back and forth. "First time?"
The person in charge of the accounts of the vault nodded. "First time."
"Maybe we are overthinking. Today is the first day. Let's not worry about this for now. Let's observe for another two days. Also, try to poach people as soon as possible. I don't trust these old employees, especially those who are in charge of all kinds of gambling."
"Yes!"
When the executive returned to the office, he could only shamelessly call the head office.
"Vice President, I need 100 million yuan as a reserve for the gambling capital."
"Isn't it 50 million yuan? This is the first day. Logically speaking, the people we invited to support should have lost more money. Why did you ask for 100 million? I asked the previous boss about the business model. They said that even if there is an emergency, 50 million dollars is enough to deal with it. What's wrong with you? "
The executive said awkwardly, "Maybe it's because there are too many people gambling on the first day. I saw many familiar faces. Since they came to support us, I can't win too much, right? So, I can't stop. The capital of 50 million yuan can't stop in the morning! "
"What!" The vice president exclaimed. "Are you kidding me? You think I don't know Las Vegas? Even the small casinos there won't be a day when they don't make a profit or even make a loss. It's just a matter of how much profit they make. The two casinos you bought are the biggest casinos in Las Vegas, right? Not only did you not earn money, but you even lost money? Do you have the nerve to say that? Do you even know how to run a casino? If you don't understand, then come back. I'll send someone else over. In the casino business, the more people there are, the more money you make. You're a weirdo, actually making me lose money on the first day. How much did I lose? "
"One … One hundred million USD. The capital of both companies is almost depleted." The executives were embarrassed.
"F * ck!" The vice president on the other end of the phone was furious.
"This might just be the first day. We'll make a profit tomorrow. Besides, it's still early in the morning. The peak times in Las Vegas are the afternoon and evening. We might not make a loss. Don't worry." The executive could only defend himself. "If we don't have the money, I'm afraid we'll have to close today. It's not good for the casino's image."
They had no choice but to ask the finance department to transfer 100 million USD over after a board meeting.
Only then did the executive heave a sigh of relief. He quickly arranged for both casinos to deposit 50 million USD into the vault to calm down.
He did not even have time for lunch. He paced back and forth between the two casinos.
Just a moment ago, his colleagues in the company had sent him congratulatory messages. Today, he was fed dead flies on the first day. It was so f * cking uncomfortable.
He would not allow any accidents to happen.
Therefore, he could not sit still anymore. He looked for the middle-level CIA leader in charge of the entire acquisition for lunch.
The other party said while cutting his steak, "I see that you're not eating. What's the matter?"
"I can't eat anymore. Today is the first day, and the casino already made a loss. The total capital of the two casinos is a hundred million, and we lost 90 million in one morning!"
The middle-level CIA leader frowned. "You should have a list of those expert gamblers, right? Can't you just prevent such people from entering the casino? What's more, your casino also has its own expert gamblers. Your predecessor did a good job, so how did he make a loss? "
"I'm also very curious. I've checked. The highest bet today is 300,000. This amount is not enough to alarm our experts. If it were an expert gambling, each bet of 300,000 wouldn't be able to win 90 million in one morning!" The executive analyzed. "But I'm still worried. I want your help to take a look."
The middle-level CIA leader nodded. "I'll keep an eye on it when I get back. Send me a copy of all the surveillance footage from this morning."
"Okay." After the executive said that, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he went back.
As soon as the car reached the parking lot, the company's finance department ran over and said, "CEO, it's bad. The vault is still being emptied. It's the same for both casinos."
The executive ran straight into the elevator and returned to the casino site.
"How is it?"
The expert gamblers at the scene were at their wits' end. They even worked with the security guards to restrain a few people.
"We found that a few people won consecutively. We wanted to catch them for cheating. In the end, we caught four people, but none of them had any cheating devices. They're making a fool out of us."
"Can't you see through some of their tricks?"
"If they're cheating, we can definitely expose them. The point is, they're not cheating. We've already searched them." The expert gamblers smiled bitterly.
Over at the casino, a few Mexican members were unhappy that they were searched.
"Can't you afford to play? You opened the store to let people in to play, didn't you? If you think that we're cheating when we win, then don't open the store. Are you allowed to win? Can't the customers win? "
"That's right. What kind of logic is that? If you don't want to play, just say so. I'll go somewhere else. Damn, you opened the store to let people in to play, and you're not allowed to win? Is this a scam? It's an insult to Las Vegas' status in the world of gambling. Everyone, stop playing here. They're the ones who bully their customers. "
The executive was anxious.
Once this kind of reputation problem was involved, it would really affect the store's business and future credibility.
"Don't be angry. Gentlemen, don't be angry. We're just doing a routine check. Everyone knows that in our business, many people are jealous. They're all eyeing the casino. It's inevitable that some people will cheat. Everyone, continue playing. I promise there won't be such a thing in the future."
"Then let me ask you, did we cheat? Did you find out? "The Mexican gang members questioned.
The expert gamblers shook their heads. "Not at the moment."
"Then why aren't you apologizing? If you don't apologize, I'll spread the news. "
"Don't." The executive quickly tried to smooth things over. "Everyone is out to play and have fun. Don't let this dampen your spirits. How about this, I'm the boss of this store. I apologize to everyone!"
"Hmph." The Mexican members returned to their seats.
The executive heaved a sigh of relief. Then he asked the person in charge of the vault, "How much did we lose again?"
"Our store's 50 million is about to be gone again. The other store is almost empty too."
"F * ck!"
At this time, the executive received a call from his friend in the CIA. "I think I found a case of an attack on the Las Vegas casino four years ago."
