Volume 6 [The tiger is also strong when it goes to sea] NO.227 The gambling king enters Myanmar
no.227 Gambling King Enters Myanmar
In Macau, inside Stanley Ho's grand casino, several directors were frowning at their chairman, Mr. Ho, who would abdicate in a few months.
"Mr. He, what should we do now? Many people have gone to Myanmar, and there is a lot of momentum there. Shen Dadong has now opened the Myanmar Monopoly Casino in Mangshi, Myanmar, which is very impressive."
Wearing a black suit, a white shirt underneath, and a plaid tie uncovered, this elderly director is Stanley Ho's brother. He is almost eighty years old. His hometown is in Guangxi. When he came here from Mohe,
He only knows how to sit at a dozen tables with a machete and act as a thug.
As people get older, they may no longer be useful.
"There are fewer people in Dadong Casino, but Shen Dadong is not in a hurry at all. It seems that he is very confident in Myanmar. He has no share in the big gambling boats. If he wants to get out, without domestic support, who can
Don’t even think about big things. Things on the high seas are just about seeing who will listen or not and whether they recognize the central government. We are not China, let alone a local bully.”
Wearing color-changing glasses, his voice is a little hoarse.
"I heard that there was a young man in Myanmar who had a great background. When we were this old, he was just pulling tables. Look, he is already the boss of thousands of guns. They said that people in the past were dead, so
Fight hard, there are people working hard now."
As he kept talking, he saw the people below wiping sweat more and more.
The income in these two days was at least half less than usual, and in the summer, when the big casinos were the busiest, records were set that exceeded 60 million for three consecutive days. But now, there are only one or two
Just kidding.
"Is it that fast in Myanmar?"
Next to Stanley Ho, there is a woman about sixty years old. This person is not the wife of the big gambling king, but his daughter, known as Miss Thirteen.
"Miss Thirteen, you don't know something. Mangshi is not just about gambling. I don't know what kind of medicine Shen Dadong took. The little warlord let him pocket two pits of stone gambling business. Now, he is the only one."
It was officially recognized by the small warlord. When I came here in May, nothing happened, but it seemed that there was another war. At the end of the month, Shen Dadong's two stone bets, fifteen stones, each exceeded 20 million.
Not to mention the amount of dividends, at least 40% of the people who became rich have been to our place."
The person below has obviously been to Mangshi.
Wiping away the sweat, I became more and more nervous.
"What are you afraid of? They have it, but don't we have it?"
Miss Thirteen frowned and said.
"Miss Thirteen, I'm not afraid of your jokes. On the surface, the sale of meat is prohibited here. The chief executive doesn't dare to let Macau become a smoky mess and anger the central government. We don't even have to drink soup. But, Mang
In the city, as long as a woman obtains a license, she can come out and be classified into different categories, which is officially recognized. The military's methods are ruthless. No one dares to abduct and traffic women in private. Two months ago, someone was
There was a riot in Nanding City, and more than thirty heads were chopped off in front of tens of thousands of people. This... this is killing the chicken to scare the monkeys."
His lips were trembling a little. Normally, he might be able to control the people in Macau, but Myanmar... is still a warlord. What the hell is he doing?
He's reputation is not in vain. Stanley Ho's family education is pretty good. Of course, he is not a bad guy who comes from a knife-fighting background. Although he has done table setting, he has a good mind. Shen Dadong's relationship with him is pretty good. I heard the whole story.
The man at the bottom was talking, so he frowned and asked again: "Myanmar is full of mountains and the roads are not easy to walk. How come there are still people going there?"
"Mr. He, it's... it's really hard to put it into words. The last time we came back, we took a small plane, a dedicated short-distance route. There was a small airport outside Mangshi. The runway was built in two months. The route was approved as soon as it was approved.
Direct flight to Kunming. It is surrounded by large-scale construction projects. I heard that more than 60 billion has been invested in this area, and... the central government has agreed to build the China-Myanmar Railway, and Highway 2 has reached the Longchuan River, past which is the Baldwin Mining Area.
In this area, hundreds of companies are vying to invest, and there are countless people spending money, Mr. He."
Road, railway, airplane?
Stanley Ho's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
In fact, the person who went to investigate had miscalculated. The airport in Mangshi had been constructed as early as years ago. It was originally used to escort workers back and forth. At that time, it was a temporary route, but Zhang Bi made a big fuss.
After Beijing and Taiyuan, at a time when the limelight was overwhelming, Shang Hexin regained power and made more decisions. So through mediation, this route became a fixed route, but unexpectedly, it became a big gambler.
My favorite route...
Dice kings from fifteen provinces gathered in Mangshi, and they came here to cheer.
Others can't understand why the Dice King of these fifteen provinces has a relationship with Zhang Bi? In fact, this still has to start with the struggle for the leader at the foot of Junzhang Mountain. The Dice King originally served under various families.
But when the hero post was posted widely, because the name of the dice king was required to be on the post, these dice kings were originally low-level people, so there was no need to mention them. However, Zhang Bi still wrote "Blessings" on the second page of the gold-plated post.
superior.
This kind of face is not something ordinary people have.
At the time of the Republic of China, this was a score given by a commander-in-chief. Who could say otherwise? No matter how famous the Dice King was, his status in the world was probably not as good as that of a small underworld leader.
Gamblers, thieves, and human traffickers, these are the three famous scumbags in the world. No matter how prosperous you are, you are still scolded by others, and you can only do what you want.
However, why not all the dice kings gathered together is because, except for these fifteen families, the rest of them came from very bad backgrounds. It was a great kindness that Zhang Ben did not kill them.
Because the fifteen dice kings took action, the He family was alerted. In the past, if the He family met high-rollers who gambled on dice, and they were outstanding, they would definitely turn around and invite a few of them to take charge. They had a lot of connections.
To be able to dispatch fifteen... what a momentum it is.
Shen Dadong thought he didn't have the dignity to do so, so he sat in a wheelchair and saw fifteen Dice Kings wearing Tang suits and stepping on thousand-layer bottoms, standing aside with an honest look. He was even more horrified and surprised at the same time.
Zhang Bi's strength, or in other words, the strength hidden behind him, made Shen Dadong determined to settle in Myanmar. In any case, it is definitely possible to become the gambling king of Asia in the future in this piece of land in Myanmar.
This is also the actual situation.
Monopoly has just completed simple renovations. All kinds of gambling equipment have been put in. After monitoring and controlling, gambling will be given out for free for a day. It is said that a racecourse will be built outside Mangshi soon, and negotiations have been completed with ten domestic horse racing clubs. As soon as Huang Silang said something, the three clubs from China Overseas came over to sign the contract without even looking at the contract carefully.
This move also shocked the rich from all walks of life. That was hundreds of horses, not ten or twenty. The price of a good horse is definitely not lower than that of a sports car. Even if it is one million, it is still Hundreds of millions.
There are also feeding issues, and so on.
Because of this, He became increasingly unable to sit still, and Shen Dadong did not hesitate to spend money to publicize this matter.
In just one month, Monopoly and the large and medium-sized casinos that entered Myanmar with Shen Dadong achieved sales of over 50 million in a single day. This was a trivial matter for Macau in the past, but it is worth noting that the casinos in this matter are still It is not perfect, and many gambling equipment and floors have not yet been opened. In other words, Shen Dadong achieved the single-game strength of He's when the casino was one-third the size.
Of course, it is too early to say that this matter is Macau's second or Myanmar's Las Vegas. The most important factor in maintaining and prospering the casino is also something that other organizations in Myanmar cannot do, which is - electricity.
Power plants cannot be built by any country. The only countries in the world that can perfectly utilize electric energy and develop energy are the five permanent members and the ten non-permanent members. Most of the other countries do not have this capability at all. Ability.
So, where does Zhang Bi’s electricity come from?
Lancang River Hydropower Station in Yunnan Province.
This hydropower station was completed the year before last. However, due to earthquake problems, power transmission problems have been repeatedly frustrated. There have been some problems to the north and east. The problem of power waste is somewhat serious. This is also a tangled problem because of the topography of China's land. There is no way.
But what is a surprising coincidence is that in terms of the planning of the China-Myanmar Highway 2 and the China-Myanmar Railway, the location of this power station could not be better, as if it was born to be embedded here.
Originally, Mangshi's electricity relied on a small thermal power station built with China's aid, but now, with strong high-level relationships and intentional domestic support, power transmission and high-voltage lines have actually been started here as early as four months ago. Thousands of steel towers stand among the lofty mountains.
Mangshi is supported by electricity, so any large-scale project is not a problem, and the half-price electricity bill has also made the Lancang Hydropower Station profitable.
A win-win thing.
When Mr. Ho discussed this matter in the casino, Stanley Ho threw the document in his hand at the face of his right-hand man for many years and shouted: "Why do you only know about such a big move and such an important matter now? I heard, A month ago, this little warlord set up a flag in Myanmar, and he will definitely open a court by the end of this year at the latest. This person knows the rules of the old world, tell me, why do I know nothing about this person on such a large scale?" .
As soon as he finished yelling, his daughter next to him handed over a hero post: "Dad, I found this in the company, please take a look."
Stanley Ho's face turned a little red. After opening it, he saw the famous assassination letter on it. He suddenly became furious and shouted: "Tell me who received this and who sent it?"
While he was roaring, a man came in from outside the conference room. This man had a sturdy build and was wiping the sweat from his face. Because he was wearing hard leather shoes, he bowed next to Stanley Ho and whispered in his ear: "He Sheng, there is something wrong.
matter."
That man was Stanley Ho's loyal servant for many years. After finishing speaking, Stanley Ho looked slightly sideways and said, "Is this really true?"
"That's right He Sheng."
After the man finished speaking, he left. When Miss Thirteen saw him go out, an unnatural smile appeared on her face, and she was quite proud.
Stanley Ho pushed the things in his hands forward and shouted: "The meeting is dismissed"
Outside, his third concubine's eyes flickered, but she didn't know what she was hiding. Standing next to her was a middle-aged man with a frivolous image. This man was obviously a wild man when he was young. Now, he has an even more lethargic look.
Awkward playboy vibe.
Stanley Ho didn't even stop. He was leaning on crutches and was helped into a white Rolls-Royce.
The board meeting broke up unhappily and they returned to the mansion.
Stanley Ho said angrily: "Because of your high arrogance, the company has lost more than one billion, and it will continue to lose like this in the future. Now, tell me how to make up for it. I am dead, and how can I trust you to leave the casino business to you?"
?If I die, won’t I even have money to bury it in the soil?”
"What's the big deal? He's just a bad boy from Myanmar, and he doesn't have any business dealings. He's just a mainland boy. What's there to be excited about?"
Snapped
Stanley Ho's crutches have been put on.
"I have a family meeting."
…
Three days later, members of the He family arrived in Mangshi late after receiving the hero invitation. The trip was very lively. They flew to Kunming first, and then transferred to Mangshi. Shen Dadong made introductions along the way. His legs were not working well and he could not sit down.
Being in a wheelchair should have been extremely insignificant, but at this moment, being able to be proud in front of one of the top gambling kings in Asia is really an unprecedented pleasure.
The most important thing is that Shen Dadong doesn't have to worry about He's energy at all, because in Myanmar, Zhang Bi's Nanding Army is the sky, the Nanding Group is the sky, Zhang Bi is the sky, and everything is decided by them.
It was so early. He didn't know why He didn't respond to Nading City, and he didn't need to know. Anyway, the warlord leader would never give He a good look.
What's surprising is that all important members of the He family seem to be going to Mangshi. Some of the people who can't fly take cars and cross the border from China-Myanmar Highway No. 2. When they get off the bus in Mangshi, they almost think they are
We went to a district in Huadu, not some small place in Myanmar.
There are construction sites everywhere, not to mention the dust, but the roads are well built, and the airport can also be seen. There are not many planes taking off and landing, and they are all small planes. However, you can see the piers of the viaduct in the center.
, this is prepared for trains, people who know the goods are shocked, and they have a new assessment of the future development of this place.
It's definitely not some remote area.
When entering the city, you can see heavy trucks carrying tons of rubble out of the country. Originally, these were all going to be handled by the Burmese military government, and the tax was huge. But here, Zhang Bi has the final say, and his tax is not
Heavy, again, because of the problem of strong centripetal force, and Zhang Bi's methods are much more vicious than the military government, and no veteran dares to commit trouble in Zhang Bi's hands.
To put it bluntly, what people in the world are most afraid of encountering is young men like twenty-year-old men. Of course, Zhang Bi is not a young man. This guy is the head of the Huben Festival.
, in the future the Huben Festival will be held, and the head of the family will be home to many heroes.
"It's not a small scale."
Someone sighed in shock.
Stanley Ho looked out of the window of the plane. Before landing, he had already seen the scene in Mangshi, which was completely different from the shabby place he imagined in Myanmar.
There is no need to compare Yangon and Naypyitaw, but they are almost as powerful as many big cities in Southeast Asian countries.
The brands of several large jewelry companies are astonishingly large.
There are several brands that Mr. He often patronizes. Obviously, several families in Hong Kong came here much earlier than he did.
“Is Myanmar going to be filled with gold after all?”.
Stanley Ho thought so in his heart.
Frowning slightly, he couldn't help but look at the complacent Shen Dadong next to him. At the beginning, all the major casinos in Macau were in panic because of the return of Macau. How to develop in the future is a big problem. Fifty years later, if the casinos are banned, what will they rely on?
How about sustaining it?
Stanley Ho thought of big gambling boats and gambling on the high seas. This was originally an excellent method. Singapore's gambling king was the first to use this method. Stanley Ho is rich and powerful, so he is naturally much stronger than them. But now it seems that it is not
That's not the case.
Bao Youxiang and the military government also tried to build a casino, but there are many things that cannot be done if they want to. First, traffic problems, how bad the roads in the central hinterland of Myanmar are, not to mention the anti-government armed forces along the way.
There are as many as dogs. Even the Wa State itself is divided into multiple factions, so it is difficult to achieve it. Second, the power issue. Myanmar wants to build a power station. It is possible. The idea is good, but there is no
That kind of technical strength cannot be achieved without external assistance. However, the conditions for construction assistance from Western countries are also strict. Not only the size of the power station is reduced by 40%, but also the local pricing is determined. This is simply difficult to impose.
Even the electricity China sold to Vietnam was negotiated at the negotiation table. Although the subsequent increase in electricity tariffs was just a matter of official documents, it was not so excessive on the surface. Therefore, the Wa State, the military government and others
Most of the anti-government forces can only make money by plundering local people and growing opium poppies.
Zhang Bi occupies the northeastern part of Myanmar, with China at his back. There are people in the country's top management who are on stage to sing. All he needs to do is to play his Zhao Zilong's million-strong army hiding Adou. As for whether he can force Zhang Fei to break the Dangyang Bridge and Guan Yun to ride alone for thousands of miles.
, that is another situation.
He has guns, people, money and food, a reliable backer, and an endless supply of power. This is why Zhang Ben is more confident than others, and why he dares to be domineering in Myanmar.
Closing his eyes and thinking carefully about Zhang Bi's various deeds, the Macau gambling king became more and more convinced that this place would definitely be a place full of gold and tigers roaring in the future. Who would have thought that at the age of eighty-two,
It is really a bit embarrassing to have to make such a trip in person.
However, what worries Stanley Ho is that the name of the hero post is missing. This is a huge loss of face. This warlord did not come to Macau to trouble him, probably because the name of Macau's gambling king is really big. Another one,
He, He, also has an extremely high status in front of the central government. He is an important target of the United Front Work Department. After all, he has a lot of political leverage.
But now, this place in Myanmar... is really confusing.
After getting off the plane, the car was very casual. It was an ordinary Volkswagen Santana, which made people feel unsafe. However, when I saw those wheeled armored vehicles in the aisle, they were equipped with double rows of 7.62mm machine guns. The soldiers looked serious and had an iron look on their faces.
The posture of the warrior in front of him immediately made people feel at ease.
But it didn't matter if he didn't look at it. He was startled when he saw it. He looked closely and made sure that he saw it correctly. These people were clearly wearing Type 97 combat uniforms. It was the most handsome uniform of the Chinese ** team. It must be Type 9
Seven-style military uniforms, two teams of soldiers patrolling on the road, carrying Bayi bars on their backs and two grenades on their waists, walking on the main road, with an asphalt road under their feet, and a concrete road at the junction. There is a large army in the distance
A large construction team is working on it.
This reminded him of Li's Yangtze River Industrial. Back then, Li Chaoren was starting construction everywhere. The scale was so large that it was very rare.
Of course, Li Chaoren also has a unique political vision. With the team's position clear and the support of the central government, it will not be difficult to grow bigger.
Thinking of this, Stanley Ho admired Li Chaoren very much.
However, whether this Burmese warlord leader on the ground can fly in the sky depends on his own destiny.
However, when his car reached the edge of the street, he was surprised by a billboard.
On the billboard, there is a picture of Yao Ming, a big man, holding a basketball in his hand, wearing a Rockets No. 11 uniform, and above it is the advertisement: China Unicom, cdma...
Three hundred meters past this billboard, small signs were hung on the phone lines along the way, all in simplified Chinese: Do you want to enjoy broadband with a monthly subscription of 32 yuan and 2 megabits? China Telecom adsl...
Three hundred meters further, we arrived at a crossroads, with China Construction Bank in the northeast corner, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in the northwest corner, Bank of China in the southeast corner, and Agricultural Bank of China in the southwest corner.
Especially at the Agricultural Bank of China, a group of local banana and sugarcane farmers in Mangshi are queuing up to receive agricultural subsidies. This was originally a policy of Yunnan Province in China, but here, the Agriculture Department of the Nam Dinh Army Group came forward, and then through China
The Agricultural Bank of China makes expenditures from the fiscal revenue of Nam Dinh region.
A very strange behavior.
Among the members of the Ho family, only a few had unique insights. Like Stanley Ho, they discovered this problem. Obviously, this place does not look like a small county in Myanmar at all. It is clearly a third-tier city that is being revitalized in China, and it is also in the eastern region.
A third-tier city.
The city already has obvious commercial and residential areas, two urban ring roads, and the divided professional streets are even more amazing.
As for the eight-story Monopoly Casino, in front of the main entrance, there is a row of women standing, except for a ribbon covering the faintly visible..., they are almost as if they are not wearing any clothes.
They are giving out admission bonuses to today's richest people, fifty yuan per person, a total of one hundred places...
