Chapter 267 Alas, dear brother, I’m having a hard time with you.
On the boundless sea, a yacht is cutting through the waves. The sea breeze is gentle and the sun shines on the sea, reflecting a dazzling light.
On the deck of the yacht, Zheng Jirong stood in front of the fence and looked at the Ao Island Outer Harbor Pier not far away.
It is worth mentioning that Hong Kong Island is really close to Macao Island. Ordinary people can get there in two hours by taking a ferry from the Kowloon Pier, but taking a yacht like him will only be faster.
In recent years, Hong Kong Island has opened more than one ferry route to and from Macao Island. One of the favorite pastimes of many Hong Kong Island residents who have some spare money is to take a boat to Macao Island after work to gamble a bit, have dinner by the way, and then Then take the ferry home at night.
It can be said that nearly half of the revenue of Macau Island casinos in this era came from the pockets of Hong Kong Island guests.
Therefore, there are many ambitious people in the business and community circles of Hong Kong Island who want to cross the sea and come to this land to get a share of the pie, but none of them can really establish themselves on Macao Island.
All this is because of the man known as the casino tycoon - He Xin.
Qiu Jie braved the cold wind on the deck and walked to the fence. He looked at the port in front and preached to Zheng Jirong:
"More than twenty years ago, in order to change the monopoly of gambling rights, the Portuguese and Macao government reshuffled the cards and opened up bidding for gambling rights. He Xin teamed up with the Huo family to win three of the gambling cards at once. And now, after so many years, those who once were He also forcibly purchased a lot of shares in casinos that did not belong to He Xin, and almost everyone in the casino industry wants to see his face!"
"The most powerful person in the underground world of Australia Island right now is a man named Bengyaju. This man has raised thousands of horses on the small island of Australia. He even dared to blow up the Superintendent of Police's car, but just Such an arrogant and domineering person is actually just a watchdog raised by He Xin."
"He Xin's reputation in Ao Island can be said to be overwhelming. He is not easy to mess with."
Hearing this, Zheng Jirong smiled calmly and said: "Who said I want to provoke him? I went to him to discuss business this time. If he knows the truth, we can make money together, but if he dares to do it again and again Don’t give me face”
He looked at the rough sea and sneered: "I think he is not so stupid."
port.
As soon as the yacht docked, several rows of bodyguards wearing dark suits and sunglasses stood in an orderly manner on both sides of the ship's ladder.
As the bodyguards of the escort company sent by Zheng Jirong in advance, they cleared all the tourists and dock employees within 50 meters around the yacht ten minutes ago. Even Ding Yao, who came to greet Zheng Jirong, could only lead the Sanlian Gang's men to stay honest Stay a hundred meters away.
When Zheng Jirong walked down the ship's ladder with a cigar in his mouth, Li Xiangdong, who had led the team, walked up to him and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Zheng Jirong nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then told him: "Wait for news from me at any time. If you are not sure, just contact the company and send someone over."
"The boss is looking up to them. The twenty or so of us are definitely enough!"
"Hahaha, what I admire most is your arrogance Xiangdong."
Zheng Jirong patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, then took Qiu Jie, Wu Liushou and Wen Tailai and walked toward Ding Yao with a smile.
As for the temple
I heard Xiaozhuan call and say that his husband accidentally twisted his waist while taking a shower last night and almost broke his arm. He is currently "recuperating" at home. It seems that the injury will not be healed for ten and a half months.
Alas, dear brother, I’m really giving you a hard time.
Although it is spring now, the weather has not turned warm yet, but Ding Yao, a woman, seems not to be afraid of the cold at all. She wore a tight black dress against the cold wind on the pier, which can be said to be beautiful and freezing.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Fortunately, I've only arrived ten minutes ago."
After holding Ding Yao's outstretched hand and feeling the coldness of her skin, Zheng Jirong took off his coat and covered her body like a gentleman.
"Thank you," Ding Yao lowered her head and smiled happily.
She pointed at the dozens of bodyguards following Zheng Jirong and asked curiously: "Why do you have such a big show when you go out this time?"
Zheng Jirong said calmly: "After all, this is not my territory. The conflict between He Xin and I is not small. What if I get shot to death by dozens of gunmen sent by this old guy as soon as I get off the boat?"
Hearing this, Ding Yao shook her head and smiled: "Although He Xin is domineering, he is still very disciplined. He cannot do such a dishonorable thing."
"It's good to follow the rules. I'm here to set the rules for him today!"
After hearing what he said, Ding Yao nodded seriously and said, "Get in the car first. The heads of the other casinos have all arrived and are waiting for us."
In the car, Ding Yao told Zheng Jirong in detail what happened in the casino in the past few days.
Today, there are a total of six large-scale casino hotels in operation on the island. Except for the three belonging to the He Xin family, two of the remaining three are jointly owned by foreign capital. He Xin also holds a lot of shares in them. But apart from these five, , and there is a Hexin family that has never had a chance to get involved.
Originally, this hotel was already on the verge of losing money and going bankrupt. He Xin was sharpening his sword and preparing to attack it. However, suddenly the richest man from Wandao teamed up with the Sanlian Gang to take it down and rename it [Shake] Light Casino Hotel】.
With the injection of a large amount of capital, the casino quickly regained its vitality and attracted a large number of guests from the Bay Island. A few months ago, the town of Guanxi on Hong Kong Island purchased 30% of its shares at a high price.
There are many wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong Island who, because of their reputation as the town of Guanxi, choose their casino as their first choice after coming to Macao Island.
During this period, their casino made the most money in Ao Island, but He Xin took action after a few months of happiness.
The methods used by this old guy were very simple and crude. First, through his connections in the Portuguese and Macao government, he sent a large number of people from the police department to the casino every day to force the guests to the police station for questioning, in the name of cooperating with the investigation. .
Then he mobilized his own underground forces and asked Bengyaju to send his men to ambush in front of the casino every night. As long as someone wins money, he will send people to snatch it! That's all. He also bribed the newspaper to claim that the people who stole the money were subordinates of the Yaoguang Casino because they were jealous of the guests winning money.
Although the method was very shameless, the effect was unexpectedly good. In just one week, the number of customers in their casino was reduced by more than half, and it was almost impossible to hold on.
"Don't worry about the Police Department for now, but if Bengyaju dares to keep doing this, don't you have any way to deal with it?"
"I have contacted him to negotiate with him, but this guy only listened to He Xin's words and did not see me." Ding Yao explained.
"Negotiation?" Zheng Jirong said with a strange look on his face: "Why didn't I realize that you are so easy to talk to? You don't even have the guts to fight back after being bullied?"
Ding Yao was silent for a while and then explained: "Although Bengyaju's power is not as powerful as that of the Sanlian Gang, his place is not a Bay Island after all. If I mobilize a large number of people to come and fight with him, I don't need He Xin to do anything. Portugal and Macao are in the right place. The government will kick me out directly and take care of the casino by itself. He Xin is eager to see us fight with Bengyaju."
"hehe."
Zheng Jirong shook his head when he heard this and looked out the window calmly.
"So I asked you to come here?" Ding Yao bent over his lap and said, "You are my man, so of course you have to step forward to solve this kind of thing."
"."
After one hour.
Ritz-Carlton Hotel, meeting room on the top floor.
At this time, there were many people sitting on the long table in the room. They were all the people in charge of various casinos on the island. They were gathered here to deal with the problem of Yaoguang Casino.
Under normal circumstances, Ding Yao would definitely not have the ability to bring so many casino tycoons together, so in order to invite them over, Ding Yao lied.
She wants to sell her casino shares.
After hearing the news, the heads of other casinos swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, but they were just here for a formality. If they wanted to fight, none of them could compete with the man sitting at the head of the table. That man.
Old God He Xinzheng is sitting there. Although he is nearly seventy years old, he still looks full of energy. Except for some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, it is difficult to associate him with a seventy-year-old man.
Contrary to what others expected, he actually has no interest in Yaoguang Casino's shares now.
When Ding Yao and the Bay Island tycoon acquired the casino, his friends in the Portuguese and Macao government did not give him any warning, which meant that he did not receive any news in advance. It was precisely because of this that Ding Yao and the others were able to successfully acquire the Yaoguang Casino. .
This made him wonder if this was a beating from Mr. He.
When the Yaoguang Casino first opened, he had not thought about using means to suppress and exclude them, but the addition of Zhen Guanxi made him change his mind.
This guy's gambling boat stole nearly half of his customers in Asia. Before he could settle the score with him, Zhen Guanxi actually took a step ahead of him and started a casino business on Ao Island.
This was obviously a slap in He Xin's face, so in order to retaliate against this guy, He Xin used some unscrupulous methods against Yaoguang Casino, but now it seems that the effect is very good, Ding Yao is already preparing to sell his shares and exit.
However, he was not prepared to take this share. Mr. Xiao He obviously did not want to see him monopolizing the casino business in Australia Island. He felt that he had better be wiser.
Just when he was thinking about who should distribute the shares of Yaoguang Casino, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
But besides their old acquaintance Ding Yao, there was also a slightly unfamiliar man who came in.
Zheng Jirong glanced coldly at the people around the tablecloth. When he saw the old man at the head of the table who was also sizing him up, Zheng Jirong put on a smile and said, "This is Mr. He Xinhe. I have admired him for a long time. I am Zheng Jirong."
"It turns out to be Mr. Zheng."
Although He Xin was confused, he still stretched out his hand and smiled as usual: "Mr. Zheng's reputation in our island is very great. I have wanted to meet you for a long time."
