Lin Dong gave each temporary worker 500 thousand dollars in chips, for a total of 12.5 million dollars.
Besides Lin Dong, everyone was from the M Nation, born and raised. Even if they were caught cheating, it would be near impossible for the staff to find out that they were actually a team. After all, you could target one person, but you can’t target over 20 people at once. If you do that, then the reputation of your casino would take a huge hit and become known as a sore loser that couldn’t stand guests winning.
In order to prevent these 25 people from running away with the money, Lin Dong didn’t let them know how many of them there were and who was in this operation together. Under this kind of situation and not knowing Lin Dong’s background, these students usually wouldn’t have the courage to run. After all, it was just one hour, and these guys would rather stay until the end to get their fair share of the pay.
This was Xu Cheng’s plan of gathering random people to help him dupe the casino’s money.
Xu Cheng sipped on his glass of champagne as he looked at the model girls coming on and off the supercars that were stopping at the casino. He suddenly said, “Table five, big.”
Lin Dong nodded and walked towards Table 5. Under his lead, those temporary workers all casually went to Table 5 and put their money on whatever Lin Dong put on.
Then, all 12.5 million dollars in chips were gathered in that area. As the staff revealed the dice, the temporary workers and Lin Dong all got a million.
The total was 25 million.
Generally speaking, when a table loses a certain amount of money in one round, its backend system would issue an alert.
“Table 5 instantly lost 12.5 million! What’s going on? Are there pros coming here to farm money? Get me the surveillance footage.”
“Yes, Sir.” A staff member pulled up the footage and said to the manager, “Sir, the maximum bet was 500 thousand. It wasn’t by one person, probably just luck.”
The manager nodded and relaxed a bit.
If it was just one person placing down the bet, it would attract the casino’s attention and then they would start investigating the background of that person. If they determine the subject to be a pro, the house would then take corresponding measures to counter-snipe.
At this time, Xu Cheng said to Lin Dong, “Give them the commission and rotate onto the next batch of 25 people. If these guys taste the sweetness of this job and want to do it again, you can get their contact information.”
Lin Dong followed the orders and gave them 1%, which was 10 thousand dollars. Those 25 people never thought that they would get paid for so much for so little work. And they were also a bit surprised that their job was over already.
A few of them that left thought about it and turned around and said to Lin Dong, “Bro, if you guys have this kind of work next time, call me up, please. Here’s my number.”
“And me too, here’s mine.”
“This is mine, I’m free this whole winter break.”
“Alright, if we are doing it again, I will contact you guys.” Lin Dong smiled.
Then, another 25 workers were switched on to do the same thing.
When another table lost another 2.5 million, the manager’s face became really ugly.
“What happened again? Table 7 lost 2.5 million in just one round?”
The Staff: “Sir, it’s from the whole table rather than a single person.”
The manager pulled on his tie, feeling a bit irritated.
When he checked the surveillance himself, he finally gave up on investigating. There were over 20 people on that table, and they each didn’t bet very big.
“Wait, aren’t they a bit too coordinated to bet on the same side? Let me check the surveillance again, are they the same batch as last time?”
The technician nodded and pulled up the previous footage at Table 5.
“Sir, it’s not the same batch. Those people seemed to have already left after winning.”
The manager finally nodded. “Maybe I’m overthinking then.”
When the team was dismissed and Lin Dong walked back to Xu Cheng, his hands were shivering a bit as he held the card. He said with a shaking voice, “Teacher… There are 50 million dollars on this card! I’ve never won this much money in my life! Can you hit me? I want to see if I’m dreaming or not.”
Pa!
Xu Cheng really hurled over a slap. “This little amount of money already made your legs soft? Does it hurt?”
Lin Dong covered his face. “Yeah.”
He obediently handed the card to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng took the card and said, “We can’t pull the same trick anymore. You won 25 million today, so at least if you were to go again next time, they will notice you.”
Lin Dong: “Then how are we going to keep on making money in the future?”
Xu Cheng smiled. “Don’t worry, those college students that got a taste of the sweetness will naturally cooperate with us.”
Lin Dong: “Teacher, I don’t get why you specifically recruited students for this? And you specifically asked for students from prestigious universities.”
Xu Cheng: “First of all, college students of prestigious schools are relatively more afraid of getting into trouble as it might jeopardize their education, and their minds are relatively simpler. They haven’t gotten into contact with crimes much, so they are less likely to commit crimes and break other people’s trusts. Besides, what we are giving them is a crapload of money, and they wouldn’t even know how to clear it or spend it. So, under that kind of mentality, they most likely won’t think about running away with the money, since they just want an easy part-time job. Besides, the students from prestigious schools usually care more about their reputation and we know their real identities. But, if you were to find some random adult who had been scavenging for jobs to live cheque to cheque, they would probably run right away the moment hits their hand.”
Lin Dong was still confused. “But with what you said, Teacher, 10 thousand dollars is enough for them to spend over a winter break. Would they still want to do this job with us?”
“This is why I look for students. They have this crazy gene in their heart, it’s not enough to get them to commit crimes, but it would make them feel really excited to be able to make this much money this fast, to the point of addiction. Okay, today’s job is done. I’m going to take you out to eat something fancy.”
Just as Xu Cheng predicted, when those students confirmed that it wasn’t a scam and they really got the cold hard cash in their hands, they were all hooked. When Lin Dong called them, they all immediately came over to meet again.
Lin Dong said, “Here’s an agreement, you guys can sign it. From now on, take this card, go in and gamble once and get out. Have your phone constantly logged in onto Facebook. We will be connected by call, and I will tell you which table to go to and put your money on what. After you win, change the chips back to cash into this card and come out to hand it to me. I will pay you according to the agreement.”
As Xu Cheng said, the first time Lin Dong would lead them, and for the second time and so on, these guys would be restrained by contracts, and Lin Dong can’t show his face anymore. After all, on the first day, he already showed up twice and took out 25 million in chips. Every day, if he just goes in and only wins, it would catch too much attention.
Every gamble would be of a small amount and they would use quantity to boost profit. Everyone would only go and gamble once every day. Every day, Xu Cheng could gamble 50 or even 100 times, and that profit amount would be terrifying.
This was Xu Cheng’s strategy, but of course, the students that they hired didn’t know to keep their mouths shut.
In the next few days, the casino seemed to have noticed something and banned university students from going in to gamble. Xu Cheng had to change strategy. But, just with these few days of work, he was able to plunder 200 million dollars!
Lin Dong was also thrown under the bus since the students didn’t have a tight mouth and exposed him to the police. The police took him away, but they couldn’t get anything out of him so they just let him out after the normal routine.
Lin Dong was cursing at the college students that sold him out.
Xu Cheng laughed and asked, “How does it feel?”
Lin Dong: “Since we earned 200 million dollars, I will take it. Just a couple of days in detention, haha.”
“If that’s the case, then let’s drink more of their blood.”
Xu Cheng took Lin Dong and directly went to the M Nation and Mexico border – the black market!
He was going to thoroughly snipe the funds in those casinos.
