Chapter 148 of Volume 7: The Golden Horse and the Iron Horse: The Sands Group declined.
Qin Feng's answer proved Ling Jie's conjecture.
Qin Feng said, "A year ago, when I was preparing to start a large-scale operation, for some reason, the Sands Group suddenly divided into two factions, the left and the right, and they started fighting fiercely with each other. At the beginning, it was just a fight for funds and finance.
Within a week, it turned into a massive shopping spree. At that time, scenes of internal fighting within the Sands Group could be seen in every corner of Las Vegas. It was also the most chaotic time in Las Vegas. The government finally
The army was dispatched to directly intervene, and the situation improved. After the matter calmed down, the left and right factions of the Sands Group did not completely separate, but reluctantly merged together, seemingly in harmony with each other. At the same time, MGM launched a devastating campaign against the Sands Group.
The general attack, whether it was a financial war or a bloody war, was staged in every corner of the city. Faced with the crazy attack of MGM, which was united, the Sands Group quickly declined and was surpassed by MGM in one fell swoop. Now Las Vegas
The gambling market in China is dominated by MGM, and MGM has become the undisputed big brother in the casino, basically monopolizing the gambling market in Las Vegas."
After Qin Feng finished saying this, Ling Jie was a little surprised, "I really didn't expect that such a big thing happened in the year I left. The two major forces, MGM and Sands, finally came to grips with each other, but I didn't expect that the Sands Group
It will be defeated so quickly, and it will completely collapse in less than a year. If the people are not unified, even if the armaments are sufficient, it will be in vain. It seems that the right time, place and people mentioned in Sun Tzu's Art of War, if you want to win a war,
All three are indispensable."
Murong Qing and Er Chen were even more surprised when they heard it. Lu Ze stood behind him and said nothing. It was obvious that he was accustomed to the news.
"What is the current situation of the Sands Group?" Ling Jie thought about the decline of the Sands Group and couldn't help but worry about Feng Chulai. Although this person is his mortal enemy, things are often like this. His biggest enemy is often his best.
A confidant. Because the biggest enemy will spend a lot of energy studying his own strengths and weaknesses, he is often the person who knows him best. Isn’t the person who knows himself best his best confidant?
Qin Feng said, "Now the Sands Group has been reduced to a third-rate gang. It only retains the Sky Park building, but the business inside is no longer good. It is barely making ends meet. The number of brothers under it has increased from tens of thousands to the original.
It has been reduced to the current one or two thousand people."
Ling Jie nodded and said, "It seems that MGM no longer regards the Sands Group as a threat, otherwise the current power of the Sands Group would not be able to gain a foothold in Las Vegas."
Qin Feng said, "Yes, the current Sands Group is far from the original Sands. A gang with only more than 2,000 people is really insignificant in the financial metropolis of Las Vegas."
Ling Jie said, "I don't think so. There is an old saying in China - a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. I really want to know how our power has changed in the past year."
Qin Feng said, "In the victory between the two giants, MGM and Sands, our small faction was naturally not immune and was also involved in the war."
"What, we are also involved in the war?" Ling Jie couldn't help but be shocked. The word war is not a casual word. War often represents huge investment and danger.
Qin Feng stared at Ling Jie and said in a deep voice, "Yes. When the situation in Las Vegas changed dramatically, a small force like us couldn't survive without a backer. And at that time, MGM Group
We were invited to use force to engage in a shopping spree with the people of Jinsha. We are young and had no choice but to agree for the sake of our brothers’ survival.”
Ling Jie was like a deflated rubber ball, "Keep talking, the more clearly you can, the better."
Qin Feng said, "We carried out three large-scale shopping campaigns against the people of the Sands Group. Each time, thousands of people were dispatched. There were countless small shopping campaigns. Afterwards, after the decline of the Sands Group, we won a piece of land for survival.
.Otherwise MGM will definitely take action against us, and we are far from MGM’s opponent.”
Ling Jie's spirit seemed to have been greatly frightened. He took a few steps back weakly and fell down on the chair, as if he had lost his soul.
"Brother Ninth. I failed your expectations." Qin Feng bent down deeply and whispered, "But I finally saved the lives of my brothers. Just to wait for Brother Ninth to come back."
Ling Jie sighed and stood up slowly, "At that time, the Sands Group was in internal strife and faced a crazy attack from MGM. MGM invited you to join forces to deal with Sands. Although he was threatening, you seemed to be unable to refuse for the sake of the overall situation.
As soon as you refuse, he will turn around and eliminate you. This is just one aspect, there is another side to the matter."
After a pause, Ling Jie said, "On the other hand, that was also the time when MGM consumed the most manpower and material resources. At that time, it tried its best to deal with the Sands Group and couldn't focus on dealing with us. You should help the weak at that time.
The Sands will work together to repel MGM’s attack and prevent it from becoming a dominant player. Maintain the Sands and MGM
We have to deal with the two giants, GM, between these two tigers. This is our way of survival. Now that Sands has declined, MGM is the dominant one. Sooner or later, they will come back to deal with us. It’s just time.
It's just a problem. If you don't attack and reject MGM at that time, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to turn around in the future."
Ling Jie's simple analysis made Qin Feng and others feel very ashamed, and at the same time they admired Ling Jie's thoughts even more. Ninth Brother is Ninth Brother, and his perspective on the problem is different.
Murong Qing nodded, "Qin Feng, you did make a wrong decision back then. Although Sands was the weakest at that time, it was also the weakest time for MGM. If you want to overthrow MGM in the future,
I’m afraid it won’t be easy on this big mountain like Mei.”
Ling Jie consoled him, "However, Qin Feng still did a great job. He preserved our strength. As long as our strength is still there, we will still have a chance to turn around. In this regard, Qin Feng has made a very outstanding contribution.
"
Ling Jie knew that now was not the time to criticize and discuss who was right and who was wrong, but how to determine the right path for the future.
Ling Jie stretched out his hand and patted Qin Feng on the shoulder, "Not bad. You go and sort out all the brothers' information and give it to me, and then sort out all our assets and give them to me. Give them to me tomorrow morning. In addition, I will come back
Don’t tell anyone the news, except for the five of you, I don’t want a sixth person to know that I’m back.”
Ling Jie waved his hand, telling everyone to go back and rest, but he was thinking about countermeasures in his heart. Now he had a general understanding of the situation in the casino.
