Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1692 The Other Side of Luoshen

Buddha asked with a smile: "Duplicity, right?"

I quickly shook my head and said, "Really not!"

Buddha explained: "Then I will tell you why I control the casinos in the entire country! Why do they call me the king of gambling! In fact, I am a gambler with poor gambling quality. I am born to like gambling. , It’s just that the gambling luck is good! When I was 20 years old, I already had 10 of the 8 underground casinos. However, because I and you are young, my casinos were swallowed up by the underground forces and gave me I kicked it out. Only then did I realize that no matter how lucky you are, fists are not as effective as fists, so I joined the gang, started fighting fiercely, and became a swordsman!
At the age of 25, I killed my enemy and took back my own casino. I thought I could rely on my casino to live comfortably, but who knew that the profits were huge and the money was fast, so I was soon stared at. On it, the government came forward and let us get a license, and we have to pay half of the income every month!This is the generation of gambling cards!The gambling cards we had at that time were not like they are now. They could still compete fairly. There were only a few of them. Whoever got them first would be eligible to open a casino. The police in that area charge more black money and let you continue to drive. If you are unlucky, you will be smashed directly!
I don't know how many people die for this gambling card every year! "

I sighed and said, "Do you rely on playing cards to gamble?"

Master Buddha hummed and said: "It's very simple, it depends on whoever has the most, whoever can fight, find a place to start a war, win or lose depends on fate, whoever can persevere to the end will get the few gambling cards! "

I asked in puzzlement, "Does the government not care?"

Buddha snorted and said: "Take care! It's because they take care of it that there are so many bloody cases! They don't care, and we are all in peace. Once they take care of it, everyone will have a competitive relationship. Killing and killing is inevitable! I don’t think it can go on like this. The business of our casino is getting worse and worse, but their appetite is getting bigger and bigger. They want to squeeze us dry! So, I boldly found the most popular casino in the underground at that time. The gangs of the forces sat down and negotiated, and finally agreed that they will not pay any fucking management fees together, and don’t care about their gambling cards. They don’t need their approval! If they want to catch them, we will resist, as long as everyone is united , there is nothing that can’t be done! It’s better than that, we kill each other every day, and we still don’t earn a few coppers!”

I asked curiously, "They all agreed?"

Buddha hummed and said: "All agreed! There is only one family. They also agreed on the surface at the time, but they betrayed us secretly! They became the minions of the government! Reported the results of our negotiation, which exposed our plan. , arrested some of our leaders, and because of that arrest, I can no longer use my right hand!"

I looked at his right hand, which was in the shape of a clenched fist, probably unable to open it.

The Buddha continued to say angrily: "But none of us gave in. In the end, the government had to sign an agreement with us, let us establish a gambling agreement, and pay them a certain amount of profits every year. They have no right to intervene in the rest. The government is responsible for the issuance of gambling cards, and we review it ourselves, whoever gets the gambling cards! We have been operating in this way for these years, and it can be regarded as peace in the world!"

I hummed and asked: "You said that the family of the person who betrayed you is Luoshen?"

Buddha nodded and said: "It's them, otherwise, why do you think he can be the throne of the underground emperor? It's not because the government is backing him! Others buy his account, but I won't buy it!"

I groaned and said: "I understand now why he has been afraid that the underground gangs will lose control. He has always said that once they lose the support of the government, many underground gangs will settle accounts with him. This is why Ah? It's not surprising, why did he treat me as a life-saving straw when I came here! What do you mean, I won't help him this time?"

Buddha hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't mean anything, I just talk to you about my business, as for how you decide, that is your business, and it will not affect the opening of your casino, I said gambling cards It's yours if it's yours!"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "If you are willing to tell me this, you must have your purpose. You might as well just say it!"

Lord Buddha looked at me curiously and asked: "It stands to reason that you and Luoshen met first, and he is talking about a partnership with you now, and you have a good relationship with his daughter, right? But why do you believe my words? ?”

I froze for a moment, and then replied: "Who knows? Intuition! Could it be that what you just told me is false?"

Buddha shook his head and said: "Of course not! I just remind you to be careful with this family. When you are useful, they will praise you to the sky. When you are useless in their eyes, they will mercilessly treat you Throw it out like trash!"

I hummed and said: "Master Liu should be the best example! In fact, it's not surprising. Most people in this world are the same, but they don't show it so obviously! They are often rational. More than emotion! I know why they treat me so well. As soon as I came, they found me immediately and wanted to cooperate with me. I knew this a long time ago! I just didn’t expect that they would take advantage of me When it was worth it, you have already chosen to betray me!"

Buddha waved his hand and said: "They are not that stupid yet. I guess Luoshen may not know all the things Master Liu did! Doing so will not do them any good! It's like stealing 500 million from a casino. I know this It must have nothing to do with Luoshen, and it has nothing to do with you at all! Master Liu is an idiot, thinking that this kind of thing can be done seamlessly, but in fact it is full of loopholes. And the attack on you is probably also done by him! Obviously, He is the only one who has a conflict of interest with you here! You have handled the relationship here very well, and even Kaha, who has a competitive relationship with you, said that you are a smart person and can cooperate!"

I asked curiously: "Then what is the relationship between you and Kaha? Is it just a business partner? He is so rich, why would he come to this muddy water? The money here is not as big as he imagined." Good money!"

Buddha laughed and said: "Do you think he is some kind of serious businessman? If he is, he won't touch the casino! This guy has been providing funds and weapons to some illegal militants in the Middle East. Specifically, which faction does he support? I don’t know, as long as it’s not a terrorist!”

I asked again: "With your current strength, are you still not capable of competing with Luoshen?"

Buddha smiled and said nothing.

I continued: "Otherwise, shouldn't it be time for you to take revenge? Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. I think it's almost time?"

The Buddha curled his lips and said: "I'm old, I don't have any complaints anymore, I only care about making money now! Can you give me some shares in your casino?"

I asked puzzledly: "Don't every casino give you dividends? Why do you still want the shares of my casino? Besides, I can't decide this matter! You should know this!"

The Buddha cut it and said: "I know this, so I told you! I predict that your casino, maybe the hottest one among all casinos, is because everyone wants to get a piece of the action! The ones you gave me Dividends are not for me alone, but for the entire Gambling Industry Association, and the dividends are not worth mentioning in my hands. I want to buy some private shares from you!"

I also asked bluntly: "Then what can I get?"

Buddha thought for a while and said: "You can get all the information you can't get! I have people with me in every casino and every gang, and the level is not low. No one has any information I want to know. I will not get it! As long as I want to know, I can know, I have a huge intelligence network, which is unmatched by anyone!"

I snorted and asked: "Then why don't you tell me, where did Master Liu's boss go? Who ordered the person who attacked me? And where did the 500 million yuan from the casino go?"

Buddha smiled and said: "Isn't the big head already in your hands? Didn't you find the Vietnamese gang to kill those who attacked you? Who is the instigator? If you ask the big head, don't you know? As for the 500 million, It's back in the casino account now! Are you testing me?"

I groaned and said, "The old crutch's son?"

The Buddha became serious and said: "At any time, you can't have the kindness of a woman! You should be aware of this, otherwise, how could you accomplish great things!"

I sighed and said, "I originally promised Lao Guai that I would not pursue him and his son, as long as he can hand over the money! What a ghost! Isn't it just this little money?"

The Buddha sneered and said, "This little money? Many people will never see this little money in their lifetime! People like you who were born with a golden key in your mouth will not understand the suffering in the world! I originally hated and You deal with people like this, I don't think you are like a rich man, how can you say such a thing?"

I glanced at him and said, "I mean, he could have made more than that amount of money! I just can't think about it for a while!"

Buddha snorted coldly and said: "There are too many people who can't think about it in this world, especially in casinos. If you win money, you can take it away for nothing. Money that you can't earn in this life, just don't leave, you have to wait until I have lost all my belongings, and I am on the point of no return! Who can blame this? Do you think you can reason with them? If you can reason, my casino will be ruined long ago! Gambling is human nature, greed is Human nature! The casino is a place with a curse. Once you enter, if you want to get out again, you have to overcome your own demons, which is the most difficult thing!"

I smiled and said, "So, you believe in Buddhism, right?"

The Buddha said disdainfully: "I believe in a goddamn Buddha! How many gods and Buddhas can believe in the sky? How many can really do things for you! You have to believe in yourself in everything!"

I laughed and said, "You don't even believe in gods and Buddhas? Then who else can you trust? Then what's the point of you talking so much to me? Don't you don't believe me anymore?"

Master Buddha shook his head and said, "It is only because I trust you that I will tell you so much!"

I asked inexplicably, "Why do you trust me?"

Buddha explained: "Because after contacting you a few times, I found that you are a pragmatist, not hypocritical, and not greedy! But what belongs to you, you fight for every cent, and what doesn't belong to you, you don't want a cent." Moreover, you are less ruthless as a businessman and more immature in the workplace, which makes you more human! This is rare! You hold the power of life and death, but you did not abuse it. Proper, this is what I appreciate about you!"

I was a little surprised and asked: "How do you know? We seem to have only met a few times, don't you know how to meet each other?"

Buddha laughed loudly and said: "How can I have that ability? As I said, I have a huge intelligence network, and your every move is under my control!"

I felt a little naked, being stood on the street and being looked at naked, so I said with some dissatisfaction: "You have been monitoring me?"

Buddha said with a smile: "I have to be responsible for my gambling cards! Don't talk about it, I'm tired, can you consider my proposal? I don't want a lot, just 1% of the shares!"

I hummed and said, "I'll think about it!"

When I came out of Buddha, I realized what I wanted to do, and I went back and said that it seemed too deliberate, but I already knew what Buddha thought, he didn't want or like to cooperate with Luoshen, otherwise for so many years , They have been working together for a long time, which inevitably makes me hesitate, should I trust the Luoshen family?
According to Buddha, this Luoshen is the one who demolishes the bridge after crossing the river. Such a person might betray me at a difficult moment, but he has already reached this point, so he will give up for no reason and not cooperate with him. It's not realistic either!
After I went back, I probably talked to Eddie about Buddha's thoughts.

Eddie didn't seem surprised at all, but said plainly: "This is why I don't like Luo Sisi. From the first time I saw her, I felt that she was too unnatural and deliberate. I came here to talk about cooperation, but she wanted to threaten me with the casino, I don’t like it! And her father also has a problem. He said so many reasons, but he wanted to take away our business here! We Originally, we could have traded directly to buyers without his hands, but now we are asking us to pay them more in disguise, which is equivalent to paying them protection fees! Our business does not need their protection, we are fully capable of protecting it ourselves Do your own business!"

I asked inexplicably, "Then what do you mean now, you won't cooperate with them?"

Eddie shook his head and said, "Didn't you already agree to them, if you don't agree now, you will lose your credit!"
