"Don't think about the casino on the ground for now. There are too many people participating, and it gives me a headache. Although your Donghu Gang is not weak, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They are fighting with those local snakes in Haojiang.

Even if you have me as your backer, you will still suffer a big loss."

Lei Weidong doesn't like gambling and doesn't want to get involved, but this business is too huge and the profits are too high, at least billions, tens of billions or even tens of billions of profits a year.

Even people like Lei Weidong who are not short of money are jealous. If they can get a share of the pie and don't spend the money themselves but use it to support the construction of the mainland, they will be considered worthy of their status as a Chinese.

So I thought that if anyone around me could make a fortune, they would also support me.

It's just that casinos are a side business and not something that ordinary people can do.

Let’s not talk about the Xiangjiang underground casino. It is illegal and the target of severe crackdowns. Lei Weidong will not touch it, nor will he let people around him touch it. As for the Haojiang side, although it is a legal business, you can make money openly and openly.

It's a lot of money, but it's very difficult to get it in.

It would be better to change the approach, instead of going to land, open the casino on the sea, that is, go to the high seas to gamble, which can save a lot of trouble.

Because the sea surface, especially the high seas area, cannot be controlled by the laws of either the Haojiang River or the Xiangjiang River, it is a three-no-no zone.

Of course, gambling on the high seas is also dangerous. Not to mention pirates or desperadoes who appear and rob, but also those casinos. Their business has been pried, and it is strange that they don't think of ways to cause harm. Lei Weidong never thinks highly of human nature.

This requires that ships must have strong security measures. The key is to be able to fight pirates or mercenaries, or even defeat them.

In this regard, the Donghu Gang is very suitable.

Don't look at the people sent by Qiu Xiaotian who were beaten by Gao Jin, Long Wu and Zhou Xingxing, but you should look down on the Donghu Gang and think that they can't be beaten.

It is true that Zhou Xingxing and others do not respect martial ethics.

Not only did they use heavy weapons to deal with light weapons, they also planted a large number of explosives around the house, which directly blew Qiu Xiaotian's people to pieces.

In addition to heavy weapons, Zhou Xingxing and others have the aura of protagonists. Qiu Xiaotian's people can only consider themselves unlucky when they encounter them. In fact, both the Donghu Gang and the Sanlian Gang are stronger than Hongxing, Dongxing and even Haojiang.

The side is strong.

Because Wanwan implements a national military service system, young people of appropriate age must serve in the military no matter how famous they are. The Little Tigers are the best example.

This system also means that whether they are members of the Donghu Gang or brothers from the Sanlian Gang, they have received months or even years of training and are retired soldiers.

Compared with the gangsters in Haojiang and Xiangjiang who started their careers by fighting on the streets, the fighting capabilities of both sides are not on the same level.

The only reason why we can't get in is because it's hard for a strong dragon to defeat a local snake. Hongxing and Haojiang's associations have an advantageous location. Not only can they advance, attack, retreat, or defend, but they can also get official figures to intervene if they are pressed.

Just like in Young and Dangerous 2, Ding Yao, who replaced Lei Gong as the boss of the Sanlian Gang, spent a huge amount of money to open his casino in Haojiang, but on the first day it opened.

Not only did some people send wreaths to the door, they caused traffic accidents outside, making it difficult for the guests who had made appointments, they also beat people in casinos, threw snakes and cockroaches, in short, there were too many ways to cause trouble, and more importantly, the official

He even tried to sidestep the situation, leaving Ding Yao unable to express his suffering.

In contrast, it is different at sea.

There will be no pressure from official figures, and there will be no harassment from gangsters.

On the high seas!

Although the East Lake Gang is far away from its own territory, it cannot exert its full strength.

The same goes for the societies in Haojiang and Xiangjiang. The sea is not their territory. If they want to deal with the gambling boats, they have to go on a cross-sea expedition. Everyone on the sea can only rely on their true skills to make a living.

Who wins and who loses depends on the quality and firepower of the personnel on both sides.

Needless to say, the quality of the personnel. Even if Wanwan's army is a tofu army, the retired soldiers are better than the gangsters in Xiangjiang and Haojiang. The two are not on the same level.

No matter how bad a soldier is, he is still a soldier.

Not to mention the firepower.

Because of Xiangjiang’s severe crackdown on guns.

Although clubs like Hongxing and Dongxing have weapons such as pistols and AKs, they cannot be used. They are used to guard the bottom of the warehouse at critical moments. In normal fights, machetes and other cold weapons are used.

It's different here with the Donghu Gang.

Pistols are standard, not to mention heavy weapons, you can get as many as you want.

Just like that time when Zhou Xingxing, Gao Jin and Qiu Xiaotian had a fierce battle.

In order to deal with Qiu Xiaotian, Haitang took out explosives, AKs, heavy machine guns and other weapons without blinking an eye, trapping Qiu Xiaotian's men to death.

I still don't want to be too bold in Wanwan, for fear that the police and the army will cause trouble.

On the sea, there is no need to pay attention to it. What is the use?

AK47, rifles, heavy machine guns, grenades and even rocket launchers are all standard equipment. You can even get them from helicopters with rockets attached, which is enough to fight a small war.

If someone comes looking for trouble.

The people from the Donghu Gang will let them know the difference between cold weapons and hot weapons, and the gangsters in Xiangjiang and Haojiang can be said to be bullies.

In this way, the firepower can be removed from the bottom of the pot, allowing the Donghu gang to enter the gaming industry without any bloodshed.

As for the future.

In order to protect their own interests, Hong Xing and other forces had to squeeze their necks and recruit the Donghu Gang to join the gang and share the interests of Haojiang.

"Brother-in-law, tell me what I should do." At this time, Haitang didn't have the aura of a boss at all. She was clinging to Lei Weidong like a little girl, feeling like a little bird clinging to someone.

"Do you know Crab and Rosen?" Lei Weidong asked.

"I've heard of it!"

Haitang nodded and said: "I heard that they are deceiving people in the Xiangjiang and Haojiang areas in the name of the gambling god's apprentice, and are planning to hold some kind of charity gambling competition.

Charter a boat to bring a group of wealthy people from the Xiangjiang and Haojiang areas to gamble on the high seas, preparing to make a fortune.

If it weren't for the fact that I'm familiar with the God of Gamblers, that his apprentice Chen Xiaodao is in Alaska, and that Zhou Xingxing also got involved, I might have been deceived by the two of them."

"We'll talk about money fraud later. What do you think of the two of them's idea of ​​holding a charity gambling competition at sea?" Lei Weidong asked.

"The idea is very good."

Haitang nodded and said in a positive tone,

"People in Xiangjiang are fond of gambling. From the people who come from Xiangjiang to Haojiang every day, as well as the popular horse racing and messy words, lottery, horse racing, dog fighting, cockfighting, mahjong, or going to the casino to bet on stud and dice.

Bao waits and then you will know the character of Xiangjiang people.

It can be said that Haojiang is supported by the generosity of Xiangjiang people and is the treasury of Haojiang people. Without Xiangjiang, Haojiang would not be as prosperous as it is today.

However, gambling is prohibited in Xiangjiang, so other than going to Haojiang, everyone can only join in the fun in underground casinos.

Charity gambling competitions can be very novel and give everyone more choices, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people participating.

In addition, gambling on the high seas is not like gambling on the shore, there are no taxes and no taps, it can be said to be a profitable business."

"Since you think Crab and Rosen's idea is good, have you ever thought about making this activity long-term, building your own ships, and bringing gamblers to gamble on the sea?

At that time, not only the gambling boats in Xiangjiang can be picked up, but also the gamblers from Wanwan. Just let the boat travel back and forth between Xiangjiang and Wanwan."

"It's a good idea to attract those gamblers to go gambling on the sea, but this ship is a bit troublesome. Renting it is definitely not possible. You have to buy a ship, which will definitely cost a lot."

Lei Weidong's words made Haitang's eyes light up, and she began to think about whether to do this business, how much profit it would make, and what benefits it would bring to herself and the Donghu Gang.

"If you want to make a lot of money, you can't be stingy with your investment, especially since the size of a cruise ship is linked to safety."

Lei Weidong reminded: "Sea is different from land. The bigger the ship, the higher the safety factor. So the ship must be big, and the larger it is, the better it is a giant ship of 20,000 to 30,000 tons."

"A giant ship of 20,000 to 30,000 tons will cost a lot, at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars." Hearing Lei Weidong say that he wanted a giant ship of 10,000 tons, Haitang mentally estimated the investment.

"Tens of millions is just the base. Including subsequent decoration costs and necessary publicity costs, 100 million Hong Kong dollars is a small amount. Even if the ship is bigger, it may cost 200 million or even 300 million." Lei Weidong counted on his fingers.

.

"One hundred million Hong Kong dollars is the minimum." Lei Weidong's words made Haitang unable to sit still. Although the Donghu Gang had money, it was still difficult to come up with two to three hundred million Hong Kong dollars.

It's not that it can't be taken out.

If you spend so much money, it will definitely affect the normal operation of the Donghu Gang.

If you make money, it doesn't matter, everyone is happy, but if you lose money, it will be troublesome.

After all, the sea is different from the land.

On land, we are most worried about fires and earthquakes, which have not happened in ten years.

It won't work on the sea.

Let alone fire, if there is a fire on the sea, it will be difficult to escape.

Even more terrifying is the typhoon.

Xiangjiang and Haojiang are in the tropical typhoon-prone season and cannot operate for at least three months a year. This is all about money. The casinos in Haojiang are all on land, so there is no need to worry about these.

"What, are you scared?" Lei Weidong asked with a smile, seeing Haitang's face looking a little ugly and thinking of shrinking back.

"Yes!" Haitang nodded, leaning on Lei Weidong's shoulder and said coquettishly, "Although the East Lake Gang is rich and powerful, it is far behind you, brother-in-law, and after the battle of Qiu Xiaotian.

It can be said that the Donghu Gang suffered heavy losses, otherwise I wouldn't have worried about the two to three billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to a huge amount of more than one billion Taiwan dollars.

Although it is not impossible for the Donghu Gang to come up with this money, they need to drain their working capital and sell some properties in order to raise such a large amount of money.

If I make a profit, it's okay, but if I lose, my position as the leader of the East Lake Clan will no longer be secure.

Unless, brother-in-law, you are willing to help me and get a sum of money for me. You are a billionaire, and one or two billion is equivalent to a hair on your leg. You can't be so stingy."
