“……”
I can’t quite get the words out.
How do I get it here?
“It’s okay if it’s a small thing, so tell me.”
“No.”
“If it was a dinner party, we would have talked a lot.”
“The main characters invited were Chris and Madduck. Most of it was about horses.”
“Hmm, because of that person’s personality, you must have known who you are in advance, but didn’t you really say anything?”
“Because it is.”
“It’s strange. I’m not that kind of person. Or…”
Henry tapped the table and pondered his thoughts before continuing.
“Gary may have left a message.”
“……?”
“The day before he died, he called all his friends. Robert Bardock must have been among them, too. If someone came to visit, he might have asked to hand over the chips without condition.”
That might be it.
The future Gary saw was the moment I opened the letter.
But the letter was written as if I was going to get Robert Bardock’s chip of course.
Rather than leaving such a message in a letter, it would be understandable if he just left those words before he died.
“I don’t think so.”
This is another excuse for me to get out.
“By the way, the Royal Crown’s stake.”
“yes.”
“It seems that someone other than us is buying the stake. A while ago, the major shareholder I was aiming for sold the stake to someone else.”
“Isn’t that 3% stake?”
“That’s right. How did you know that?”
“Haha, that’s President Stanley.”
I explained what I had heard from Stanley Wu.
“He seems to be very terrified of Gary. There’s no need to do that.”
“It’s your brother-in-law.”
“I don’t understand that brother-in-law the most. Friends are friends, what do you call older brother or younger brother?”
“That’s what gives each other the meaning of being special.”
Henry shook his head in disapproval.
He said that the inside is more important than the appearance.
“But Henry, President Stanley did.”
“……?”
“The remaining major shareholders of the Royal Crown are Henry’s hostile forces, in a word, the opposition. Is that true?”
“It’s not wrong. At that time, there were some people who turned their backs on me thinking that I abandoned the Royal Crown and only cared for P&B groups.”
“Then how do we secure the remaining 10%? You can’t expect too much from circulating stocks.”
“It’s not impossible, because we just need to find a minority shareholder. Currently, we have secured about 2% of the distribution stock.”
Wow, you went looking for minority shareholders?
“Still, 8% is not enough.”
“I think that’s the extent of it, I think it’ll roll out on its own.”
“What do you mean?”
“Did you know that Jayden was close to Andy Forescue?”
Oh, I’ve heard of it.
She had informed me when I was invited to Lena Dainhart’s house.
He also said that he should be careful as he has a cash mobilization ability, but he said not to worry too much because he is known for his negative hand.
“I’ve heard from Lina. Maybe it’s because of what happened at the Melbourne Cup.”
“Yeah, it must have been timely.”
“But what’s going on between them?”
“You know what you worked on. Seongsam C&T exposed the lobby of Forescu Metal, and Bao Sanz Metal stepped in and completely cut off the deal with them.”
“I did. Why?”
“Andy Forescue is handing a sinking ship to Jaden.”
“Eh?”
Henry says Andy Forescue is selling his stock to Jaden Parker little by little.
On the surface, if the lobbying problem is dealt with well, it will be normalized, so why not buy it in advance when the value of the stock falls?
Stupid Jayden would bite it.
“But when Baosantz Metal, the main customer, cut off the deal, Andy Forescue said that he persuaded Jayden to take over Forescu Metal.”
“Did you accept that too?”
“It is in progress. There is a loss of the amount already invested, and it has passed on to the reputation of being a global fourth place.”
“No, even if it’s a loss, if you lose Baosantz Metal, you’re in a situation where the name tag of the quarterfinals is also taken off, so why take over it?”
“The data must have been hidden or manipulated, in such a way that the proportion of other customers was high.”
Huh, no matter how different the industry is, can’t you recognize it?
not.
The nickname isn’t a negative hand for nothing.
“Then, when Chinese customers start leaving, a bomb goes off.”
“Yeah, and in that situation, no matter how much shareholders want to support Jayden, they won’t be able to. The amount of money invested in the acquisition of Forrescu Metal is said to be $5 billion so far.”
Wow, wouldn’t that be more expensive than an atomic bomb?
“I’ll call Hong Kong and tell them to hurry up to stop losing Chinese customers.”
“Is it all right? I don’t think it’s possible to cover it all with Louis Hill’s production yet.”
“I’m going to leave the shortage to DHP Billion for a while. I helped a lot with the Rao Tinto Gun this time. I have to repay you.”
“Think well. Business is a give-and-take, so you should repay the help you get.”
Henry looked at me with a happy expression.
Seeing his face like that reminded me of Robert Bardock’s words again.
– As much as you regard Henry as a friend, I want Henry to regard you as a friend.
In that moment, without realizing it, my heart flew out.
“Henry, we… are we friends?”
***
‘Ugh, why are you asking such a question?’
I washed my face and wiped my face dry.
I looked out the window and saw that the rain was pouring down.
“Where are you going, sir?”
At the words of the article, I brought up The Stars Casino.
When you’re upset, it’s best to spend time gamble without thinking.
‘Now it has become like a hobby.’
Except under special circumstances, the ability is no longer used in the casino.
It was because he had a property that he had pure gamble skills, but did not care much if he lost it.
just for fun
If we had to compare it to the past, it was similar to going to a PC room to kill time.
Money and purpose.
– Tuduk, Tutuk.
The raindrops are getting stronger and the sound of rain is starting to be heard.
Hearing the soothing white noise reminded me of the Henry I showed you earlier.
‘Why didn’t you say anything?’
When asked if they were friends, Henry looked at him for a moment and then smiled softly.
And the silence was broken when a phone call came from someone at an amazing time.
‘Is that something to think about for a moment?’
If I had just told you that we were friends, I would have dumped everything.
It was as if he had made the situation awkward by asking a random question.
‘It’s raining and I’m in a good mood, but let’s go with a concept that doesn’t know defeat today.’
When I saw The Stars Casino, I felt like I was changed without realizing it.
Isn’t this an early symptom of gambling addiction?
***
“Welcome, Mr. Jean.”
As soon as I entered the second floor, Laura, the manager of the second floor, approached me.
Since I am a VVIP, I have come to the protocol.
“How are you?”
“Thanks. But you haven’t been here for the past few days, haven’t you been to another casino? Hoho.”
They seem to take care of customers because they’ve lost some money lately.
“Ah, I went on a business trip to the US.”
“Maybe Las Vegas?”
“Haha, do you want to go that far to gamble? It was something else.”
“Didn’t Sir Henry come with you?”
“Yes, I was busy today, so I came alone. How about some water today?”
When asked if there were any good pro gamblers, Laura shook her head.
“There is no player Mr. Jin can match. Today’s customers are mostly Chinese tourists, but they are all ordinary people.”
Hearing her words, I glanced around the inside of the casino.
The overall atmosphere is subdued.
However, there was only one place, the baccarat side, that had a little bit of heat.
“How are you over there?”
“Ah, that’s just a talent, but he’s a rich guy.”
“Chinese?”
“No. Andy Foresque is a mining tycoon.”
huh? Andy Foresque?
Is that person here?
“Is the CEO of Foresque Metal here?”
“Yeah, I’ve been playing for an hour, and I noticed that I was waiting for someone.”
“Hmm, okay. Stop and go to work. I’ll play some baccarat and then go up.”
Laura said hello with a business smile and went back to her seat.
I gambled at a baccarat table from afar and looked at Andy Foresque.
While playing, swipingly looking at the phone or watch is definitely waiting for someone.
I kept watching him out of curiosity.
‘If you’re using a casino, you’re conscious of other people’s eyes…’
Unlike hotels and other places, casinos can lessen suspicion even if they are caught even once.
It’s because we met by chance while going to gamble, so we can just look around.
‘yes? Where are you going?’
Andy Forescue headed to the elevator.
It was going up to the VIP or VVIP room.
“Laura, what floor did he just go to?”
She contacted The Stars manager, George, to confirm where Andy Foresque had climbed.
“It’s called Force Floor Room 5. It’s been reserved.”
“Who’s making the reservation?”
“Wait.”
This is information that is usually not provided.
But I was able to confirm it thanks to being close to Henry, the major shareholder of The Stars.
“My name is Lionel Thompson.”
Ahh, Lionel.
Come to think of it, I mentioned that it was Rao Tinto who moved the old Foresque Metal behind the scenes.
It is not unusual for the two to meet.
‘Hmm, Lionel hasn’t come yet.’
Andy Forescue had just entered the room confirmed by his abilities.
It was sure to arrive soon.
‘The VVIP room can’t even be tapped, and I can’t read English.
What we need now is a natural and accidental encounter.
I immediately took the elevator and went up to the third floor.
And looked at the entrance to the second floor with power.
Has it been 10 minutes?
he appeared
“come.”
I immediately pressed the elevator button to go upstairs.
-Thing.
As the elevator door opened, I naturally ran into Lionel, who was riding inside.
“Huh? Mr. Thompson?”
“Huh? Edward?”
The forehead narrows with surprise.
At that time, it seems that he was still stuck with the Argyle thing.
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to gamble, what are you here for?”
sharply curled.
I need to heal you again.
“Then can I do a wind catcher next to you?”
“Windman? What is that?”
“In a word, it’s a helper. There are a lot of people who made money here thanks to me.”
“Hmm, did you have such a talent?”
“I’m really sorry about Argyle before. If you give me a chance to make up for it, I’ll work hard to catch the wind.”
“Can you really do it?”
“Take a guess and trust me. And it was going up anyway, so how good is it to join in and get a score from Mr. Thompson if possible.”
“Hey, aren’t you talking too much about getting points?”
Mouth ripped, ripped.
Even if it floats a little, it’s a hell of a bug.
Aren’t you addicted to Abu?
“Today, I’ll take responsibility and win over three million dollars.”
“Hmm, I have one other guest besides me.”
“Oh my gosh, then I’ll have to win six million dollars for you.”
“Is it really possible?”
“I’m going to raise the mood today. Let’s go!”
As the elevator door opened, he pointed to the hallway with both hands.
“Kurham, hmm.”
Chuimsae also looks like an idiot.
