"Last year's casino revenue was 30 billion U.S. dollars. At 5%, it would be 1.5 billion U.S. dollars." Zihao smiled, "The German government's appetite is really big."
"We have been negotiating with their people for a long time. After all, when we open a casino in their place, we still need to rely on their political connections. If we offend them and come here every day to cause trouble, it will affect our guests." Lawrence frowned,
After all, the amount was too big for him to make the decision privately, and he believed that Zihao would never give out so much money to the government so easily every year.
"What do you think?" Zihao always liked to pose questions to his subordinates and ask them about their intentions first. Lawrence was not only a man with outstanding gambling skills, but also a management genius.
"The German government has been having fierce quarrels with several other federal countries recently, and domestic demand is huge, so it has turned to us." Lawrence snorted, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have taken over the Baden Casino for so long, and then suddenly
Find us."
They are the largest casino in Germany. If they give such a high tax, then other casinos will have to follow suit, and there will be conflicts between them and those people. What's more, 2 billion US dollars per year is absolutely astronomical.
Figures, the price they negotiated before was 2% of the profit, but now the German government has overturned everything and started negotiating again. It is obvious that they have reached the end of the road and want to draw out the bottom line.
"Then you go tell them that our casino does not have to be opened in Germany." Zihao said casually and shrugged, "As long as it is my Qiu Zihao's territory, it will be the same anywhere. I don't mind opening it as close as Germany."
If I go to Italy where there is an economic dispute, after all my base is in Italy, it is normal for me to give money to the Italian government."
Zihao hates being threatened the most. Although threats from others are nothing more than a trivial matter to him, a man with a kingly nature still doesn't like to be disturbed by such petty fights.
Lawrence was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Zihao to solve the problem they had been troubled with so easily. Originally, he had planned to let Zihao meet with people from the German government, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
And he believed that the German government would be defeated immediately, otherwise they would be eating the chicken and losing the rice. No one would be such a fool. Although they did not get 2 billion US dollars, their casino profits were 2%
It is also an extremely impressive figure. Anyone who extrapolates this amount of money is a fool.
"Okay, I understand this matter." Lawrence looked at Zihao with bright eyes, almost treating him as a savior. The young master was the young master, and his big problem was solved in a few words.
"Here, as a reward, show your hands to my Die Ning." Zihao stood up and said jokingly.
Lawrence immediately showed a look of sadness and indignation. After all, he is also an internationally famous gambling god, okay? He actually turned into a clown, performing for the young master's women.
Just when they were about to go to the gambling table, a bodyguard suddenly came in, walked to Lawrence and whispered a few words. Lawrence frowned, glanced at Zihao, then nodded and let him go.
"What's wrong?" Zihao asked while holding Die Ning.
"There is a man who won 20 million in the casino." Lawrence blinked, looking very innocent, "Let's go, let's go meet him."
This is the rule of the casino. Once someone wins too much money in the casino, they will be invited by the casino people to the VIP room upstairs to start gambling. Usually, this is a way to make people spit out the money.
"Let's go and watch Lawrence perform." Zihao said to Die Ning, ignoring Lawrence's depressed expression.
On the other side, an American was invited into the VIP room by the casino's bodyguard, and he seemed very indifferent.
"Hello, I'm Lawrence." Lawrence bowed slightly in a polite manner. He has always been a gentleman with good etiquette.
"Hello, I'm Lou Jones." Jones glanced at him indifferently, as if he had never heard his name before, shook hands with him, and walked into the VIP room.
"Mr. Jones, are you interested in playing?" Lawrence smiled and walked to the gaming table and pointed at the blackjack on the table. This was his favorite way.
"No problem." Jones looked calm, not aware of his situation at all.
Zihao frowned without trace. He seemed to have seen Jones's face somewhere. He and Di Ning sat aside and watched. Although he saw that Jones was not a fuel-efficient lamp, he still was not worried about Lawrence.
After all, he is not a newbie.
Die Ning came closer to Zihao and said softly, "Isn't this man Rooney Jones, the gambling king who is currently in the limelight in North America?"
Speaking of this man, he gambled heavily in Las Vegas, became rich overnight, and became a famous figure in American casinos. After that, he went to casinos everywhere to gamble heavily.
When Die Ning mentioned it, Zihao also remembered it. It seemed that this big gamble would be a lot more interesting. He had never seen Lawrence lose money in so many years, and he missed the way he lost everything back then.
"Aren't you going to tell him?" Die Ning thought Zihao would be worried that Lawrence would underestimate his enemy, but seeing the gloating look on his face, she suddenly realized that she didn't understand.
"Don't worry, this casino is the most valuable, only Lawrence." Zihao shook his head indifferently. If he loses, it would be good for them to evacuate Germany. However, Lawrence seems to have not lost in a long time, and he wants to see him
Losing seems unlikely, even if the opponent is the latest celebrity in the casino.
