MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 457 gambler

   "Let's put things away for now, and we'll talk about them later. The charity gala is the most urgent thing to implement right now. You understand our plan, so do you have any objections?" Verak went straight to the point.

   "It should be...no problem..."

   "What should be?" Verak didn't want to act based on such vague words, he wanted to be infinitely close to 100% sure.

Carranza became less tense as he chatted with Verak and the others, calmed down and said: "The plan you mentioned is too general, it sounds like it should be fine, but I want to make sure that every link Feasibility requires careful planning.”

  Verak immediately said: "Of course, the detailed planning can only be discussed when we face to face. So, do you have other arrangements now?"

   "No, no." Carranza shook his head again and again.

   "Then let's start." Verac didn't procrastinate at all, and with Murphy's translation, he and Carranza quickly finalized the detailed part of the plan.

   The overall discussion went smoothly, and it took an hour and a half to plan everything clearly. It just left behind the problem that Verak had thought of early on, that is, Carranza's status as a gambler and the huge debt he owed had to be transferred to the newspaper, and it was not easy to attract the powerful to participate in the charity dinner.

   After all, how many people would be willing to believe that gamblers do charity?

   How many people are willing to believe that Carranza, who even the newspaper is planning to sell, has the ability to do charity and help them earn a good reputation?

"...Now it seems that there is no shortcut to solve these two points. The most direct way is to stop the transfer of the newspaper, re-establish your image, and make the dignitaries willing to trust you." After studying for a long time, Verac still suggested fundamental to solve the problem.

  "But many people know that I lost a lot of money in gambling, and I have been reduced to the point of transferring the newspaper. If I organize a charity dinner, the dignitaries I invite will eventually hear about it." Carranza has no idea.

   "The first thing to do is to stop the transfer of the newspaper."

"It's easy to do, but I owe a lot of money, and the creditors are pressing for the debt. In the eyes of the rich and powerful, I am still in a difficult situation. They still won't believe me. The key now is that I am the last At least I don’t owe money, so that the dignitaries can trust me, and they won’t suspect that I want to collect money in the name of charity, and won’t worry that I don’t have the ability to praise their benevolence.” Carranza hesitated for a few seconds and suggested, “Or In this way, can you pay me to help me solve this matter first, and then I will do my best to help you organize a charity dinner, and all the money from the charity dinner will belong to you!"

   is also a personal spirit.

   While chatting, I wanted to use the International Equality Alliance to solve my troubles first. When I was debt-free, the risks would naturally be passed on to the International Equality Alliance. At that time, whether the charity dinner will be successful or not, and how much money will be received, only the International Equality Alliance will be anxious, which will not affect the restart of his life in the slightest.

  Verak certainly would not agree to this request.

   This is not only because they have no money to help Carranza pay off his debts, but also to force Carranza to always be in the same boat as them. Only when the charity dinner raises enough money, and this money is closely related to whether Carranza can pay off his debts in the end, will he go all out in organizing the charity dinner.

   "Who do you owe money? How much do you owe?" After thinking for a long time, Verak decided to find Carranza's creditors to resolve the matter.

  "The owner of the casino, Gonzalez." When reporting the number, Carranza lowered his head, not daring to look at Verac, "I owe... 150,000 gold coupons..."

   "How much?!" Verak raised his voice and asked again.

   "10, 150,000...gold vouchers..." Carranza rubbed her hands with an aggrieved expression, "I...I didn't..."

"Your newspaper is not worth 50,000 gold certificates, is it?! How could you owe so much?!" Verac did not expect that the amount owed by Carranza was not small, which undoubtedly increased the pressure on him to negotiate with creditors and raise money. Financial pressure.

   At that time, Carranza alone will have to give 150,000 gold coupons, so they have to raise at least 300,000 in the charity dinner!

Carranza was extremely regretful. If time could come back, he would definitely never step into the casino again: "I really only wanted to bet 10,000 to 20,000 at the time, as long as I could win 10,000 to 20,000, the newspaper's crisis It can be lifted... But I didn't expect that I won the first round... I used to play dozens of games, and I have never played such a big one. The moment I won, my legs couldn't move. Can't walk out of the casino... Can you imagine? In a few minutes, I made money that the newspaper company might not be able to make back in two years... There is no faster way to make money in this world, I, I just..."

   "So you bet more money and wanted to make more. In the end, not only did you not make any money, but you also lost your own newspaper company." Verac said.

"No... more than that... When the newspaper was gone, the casino owner Gonzales found me and said he was willing to give me a chance to turn around in one fell swoop, so I borrowed a hundred thousand gold coupons from him... When I left the casino, I became penniless, and I was still burdened with a foreign debt of 150,000 gold coupons..." Carranza covered her face with her hands, "Actually...I didn't sell the newspaper to repay the money at all. I can't afford the 150,000 gold coupons at all. The newspaper office cashed out as soon as possible, took the money and fled the city of Montrego...but before I sold it, you came and brought me a glimmer of hope..."

   "Since you have played in the casino for so long, is it possible that you don't know the tricks of the casino? They are obviously trying to trick you, but you really want to get in?!" Verak couldn't help but feel fluctuating.

   "I know! But I have no choice...I just want to fight, as long as I can win, as long as I can win..." As he spoke, Carranza became a little crazy again.

   "Shut up!" Verak saw Carranza clearly.

   Gamblers are untrustworthy and capable of anything.

  Based on Carranza's performance, he has already begun to consider whether to terminate the cooperation and talk to the next candidate.

"Villac." Murphy looked at Verac, who was frowning and disgusted with Carranza, "150,000 gold vouchers are a lot of money. Even if the charity dinner can be organized smoothly, we don't know if we can raise it." This number, or..."

"...Wait a little longer." Verak couldn't understand Carranza's depravity, and was enslaved by desire, but it was precisely because Carranza was so vulnerable that they could control it easily. Must be able to hold it firmly in the hand, "I want to see Gonzalez."

   "What did you see him for?"

   "Negotiate to achieve a win-win situation." Virak said.

   "Do you still want to cooperate with him? He is not a qualified collaborator. If we continue to cooperate, I am afraid it will become a burden for us." Murphy reminded.

  Villac had many things on his mind: "The casino owner made me very disappointed in Carranza, and at the same time, I had more confidence to make it happen."

   "What are you... talking about?" Carranza, who had recovered from her madness, vaguely noticed that Verac and Murphy were dissatisfied with themselves.

   "I'm worried that the casino owner will interfere and things will become more complicated and uncontrollable." Murphy ignored Carranza and raised his concerns to Verak.

   "Plop."

Before Verac could reply to Murphy, Carranza knelt down first: "I, I know that I owe a lot of money, but please believe me, as long as you can help me solve the trouble, I will definitely get it for you More money! 300,000 gold coupons! 500,000 gold coupons! You can name any number, and I will do it!"

  Verak was taken aback: "What did he say?"

   Murphy repeated the general idea.

   "How can you guarantee that you can raise so much money?" Verak asked.

"I know a lot of dignitaries! Montrego City Daily is still the newspaper with the largest circulation in Montrego City! As long as the debt problem can be resolved and the newspaper can get back on track, they won't look down on me! Even if I'm a gambler gangsters, it doesn’t matter, my gambling will not affect their good reputation through charity dinners! As long as the newspaper is still there!” Carranza was very afraid that Verack thought he was in too much debt and was unwilling to cooperate with him.

  He can't guarantee that he can sell the newspaper in time, avoid the surveillance of casino thugs and escape from Montrego City.

  If he didn't escape, and he couldn't afford to pay back so much money, he could only be killed by Gonzalez!

"I know you are begging to cooperate with us because you are afraid of death, but the fate of lying to us will be worse than death." Verak looked at Carranza who was crying bitterly in fright, and said word by word, "I don't need You exaggerate and say that you can raise half a million gold certificates and more. This clumsy lie. I will give you another chance and tell the truth about the amount you estimate to be able to get."

   "I..." Carranza, who was kneeling on the ground in a panic, gasped and gritted his teeth for a while, "350,000! At least 300,000! If you can't raise this amount, you will kill me!"

  Verak raised his eyebrows.

  The goal that Carranza set with his life still surprised him.

  He thought that the dignitaries that Kalansala had recruited would be able to raise 200,000 gold coupons. The 200,000 gold vouchers were given to Carranza and 150,000 to repay the debt, which was really a loss.

   But if you can get more than 300,000 yuan, then the 150,000 yuan is not impossible.

  Saving Carranza and his newspaper office and firmly controlling the newspaper office will be of great benefit to the establishment and development of sub-stations.

   "Okay, this is what you said, 300,000, just a little more." Verak felt that Carranza was more pleasing to the eye again, "If it is lower than this amount, needless to say, you also know the consequences."

   "Clear! Clear..." Carranza responded.

   Rage the International Equality League?

  He dare not even think about it!

   "Do you really think he has this ability? I think he just wants to survive for a while. If we believe him and fail to make it in the end, we will waste too much time." Murphy said.

"Well, you can't believe what a gambler says, and no one can guarantee that he didn't say such a thing out of a gambling mentality." Verak deeply agrees, "But you can't completely disbelieve it, the best way is to play both hands Prepare to pick someone else besides him."

   "Then we go to the next person?"

   "I can't find it now, or the two ends will collide." Verak looked at the time on his watch, "You can go to see the owner of the casino first, and try to determine the win-win situation for the three parties."

  Murphy can't figure this out: "How can we win with the casino owner?"

"Do you think the casino owner doesn't know that Carranza's newspaper is not worth 150,000 gold coupons at all? If he knows, doesn't that mean that Carranza will never pay back his money in his life? If we can let him finally successfully collect At this 150,000, doesn't it mean a win-win situation?" Viraktuo expressed his own thoughts.

  They make a lot of money, solve the children's food and housing problems, and solve the problem of their lack of funds.

  Carranza made a small profit, paid off his gambling debts, and secured the newspaper office.

  The owner of the casino successfully recovered the money from the 150,000 gold coupons.

   All earned.

   "Four wins." After listening, Murphy was not so worried, "The rich and powerful have also earned a good reputation."

   "Yeah, this business is good for everyone, so why don't you do it?" Verak smiled.

   "What are you... talking about again?" Carranza couldn't understand Bresci, and was worried, for fear that Verak would slap his **** and leave, and no longer pay attention to him, a loser who was about to be spurned by everyone.

   "Stop kneeling, sit and talk." Murphy didn't step forward to help this time, "As long as you can let you out, we can promise to pay off your debt."

   "Really..." Carranza breathed a sigh of relief.

  Objectively speaking, it is a very challenging thing to get enough dignitaries to participate in the charity dinner and make them willing to spend such a large sum of money.

   But after all, it is more feasible than escaping Montrego City by yourself.

   "Ask him, where is Gonzalez, we are going to meet." Verac watched Connie stand for a while, and beckoned her to sit down and rest, "Connie, sit down."

   "I'm fine." Connie didn't move.

  Murphy asked Carranza according to Verak's intention.

   After finally sitting back on the sofa, Carranza looked at the clock in the office, and his heart tightened: "They are coming soon..."

"them?"

"Gonzalez...he came here on time at eleven o'clock every day these days and asked for money, driving me crazy..." This is why Carranza and his subordinates are so haggard, how can they stand the casino? The ruthless Tiantian disturbed, "Uh, I have something to say, I don't know if it would be inappropriate to ask..."

   "Say." Murphy waited for Carranza to finish speaking and translated it to Verak.

"It's just...you don't seem to have a lot of money...do you want to prepare the money first while there is still some time, and hand it over to them when Gonzalez arrives?" Carranza also fantasized that Verac could help He paid off his debts.

   "You will know this when the time comes." Murphy didn't bother to explain to Carranza, and translated these sentences to Verak.

   "It's 10:30, that is, Gonzales will come over in another half an hour, so we won't have to go find him." Verac wished for more, sat down with more peace of mind, and waited for the casino owner to arrive.
