Chapter 7 Making money, earning ten thousand dollars
After learning English, Luo Ming came to the area where various mathematical knowledge was stored.
He's doing it for a reason, of course.
After learning almost everything, Luo Ming started reading other books.
Financial history, various related knowledge about New York, and other books, pictures, etc., he briefly browsed through anything he thought was necessary.
By the time he left the library, it was already six o'clock.
It’s not that I don’t want to continue reading, but it’s time for the library to close.
After spending almost four hours in the library, he had already learned English, simple French, and some other random knowledge.
After looking at the sky, Luo Ming bought a fast food burger and then called a taxi.
The place he is going this time is the casino!
In the original book, Eddie can go to the casino, and he can find out where it is by asking the taxi drivers.
After a while, Luo Ming came to a small casino.
Walking into the casino, there are many people inside.
Luo Ming walked among them, collecting information inside.
He has a super brain, and if he doesn't get his first capital from the casino, a place where huge profits are made, it will be a waste of money!
He would do that, there was once a legend.
Relying on mathematics and algorithms, he made tens of millions of dollars in major casinos, forcing all casinos to join forces to ban him.
(It’s a true story. That person is still alive and well. If you are interested, you can search it.)
Luo Ming is just recreating this character's life.
There are common games in the casino, such as slot machines, blackjack, baccarat, etc.
When he came to the place where the chips were exchanged, Luo Ming took out a thousand dollars and exchanged some chips of different sizes.
The funding he received from Fein was only about $2,000.
After spending a lot of money, plus the thousand dollars he just took out, he only had about two hundred dollars left.
In this place where it is difficult to move around without money, he can only come here to make some money, and it is not illegal anyway.
After changing the chips, Luo Ming didn't make a move blindly.
While observing, silently calculating how to win money.
The casino is basically under 360-degree surveillance, and there are also casino personnel mixed in, which is the so-called trustee.
The vast majority of people who win money in casinos are trustees.
It is a dream for ordinary people to win money in a casino, and losing everything is the only result.
So, the best way is not to gamble.
More than two hours later, Luo Ming came out of the casino.
His net worth also changed from one thousand to ten thousand.
It's not that I don't want to continue to win, but it's not necessary.
When he won 10,000, he realized that he was being targeted.
In order to avoid attracting attention, he always chooses to win or lose.
But his behavior of winning more than losing was still noticed by the casino.
The casino, which regards all gamblers' money as its own wealth, of course discovered Luo Ming, a yellow man who was making money in their casino!
When Luo Ming wins money in the casino, he cuts his flesh on them!
It would be strange not to keep an eye on Luo Ming!
For safety reasons, Luo Ming decisively chose to stop.
Now he is an ordinary person, and he is also a gangster. There is really no need to continue and increase his own danger.
Moreover, he doesn't have a credit card or anything like that, and carrying 10,000 in cash is already a lot.
As soon as he walked out of the casino, Luo Ming found that many people were looking at him.
Surprise, greed, cruelty, teasing, etc. are all present.
Obviously, these outsiders have accomplices inside the casino.
They can know immediately who has made money.
They will choose the right target to rob.
Luo Ming, on the other hand, is thin and yellow, so he is just a big fat sheep in their eyes.
In Chou Country, it is well known that Easterners are rich and easy to bully.
Although he knew that he might be targeted, Luo Ming did not panic at all.
After a quick glance, through his eyes, behavior, clothes, etc., Luo Ming called a reliable taxi.
It is very dangerous for ordinary people to travel at night in Chou Country.
Even a seemingly honest taxi driver may turn into a robber at any time!
Therefore, it is important to choose a reliable taxi driver.
Soon, Luo Ming disappeared from the sight of the greedy people in a taxi.
These people could only curse a few words angrily, and then turn to the next target.
After letting the driver wander around the street for a while to make sure no one was following him, Luo Ming chose a suitable place to get off the car and then walked back to the hotel.
He can't guarantee whether the driver will reveal his address, so some necessary precautions must be taken.
After making sure no one was following him, Luo Ming quickly returned to the hotel.
It is now around nine o'clock in the evening.
It's about an hour before the medicine ends.
Luo Ming felt that his mind was still very clear.
He didn't waste the time.
First, perfect your plan.
Now, he has about 10,000 U.S. dollars, plus about 300 NZT-48 pills.
What he has to do now is to rely on this NZT to start a business, and then find ways to get more NZT.
Without nzt, he can't enter the overclocking state.
And after stopping taking it, he may die from the side effects of nzt.
nzt is addictive. It is not obvious now that you start taking it, but the more you take it, the more serious the side effects will be.
Therefore, after he solved the problem of the quantity of nzt, he wanted to find a way to solve the side effects of nzt.
And to do all this requires money!
Therefore, he just wants to use nzt to make a lot of money quickly.
However, in modern society, there are not many ways to make money quickly and legally.
The first way is to use your super brain to make money in major casinos around the world.
But this method can make tens of millions at most, and then all the casinos will jointly target it!
Those casinos say they are not afraid of you winning money with them, but if you really want to make money with them and use them as cash machines, do you think they will do it to you?
The second way to make money is to engage in finance.
Like the original protagonist Eddie, you have the opportunity to earn $40 million in two months.
But those Wall Street giants are not fools. They created things like the financial stock market just to cut leeks. How could they let their leeks be cut by others?
Although there is no limit on the rise and fall of Western stock markets, they are forced to panic. The entire Wall Street will stop stock market transactions even if there is a power outage!
If he takes the path of stock trading, he will inevitably come into contact with many people and expose himself.
He is a shady person, and no one pays much attention to him. But after he becomes a man who makes waves in the stock market, those powerful people must not investigate him to the fullest!
Once no real information is found in Chou Country, he can be arrested on a groundless espionage charge.
This world is not an extraordinary world. No matter how powerful an individual is, it is difficult to fight against big forces!
So, he may have to take the third path.
That is to be a hacker!
