Chapter 975 Battle for Gambling Cards (9)
…
There is no doubt that the gambling industry makes money, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people flocking to Macau’s three gambling cards! It was precisely because he understood the huge profits of the gambling industry that Liu Dong discussed with He Chaoqiong to bring in a few more people to share the profits.
Risk! Therefore, Zhou Bin, Li Yuncong, Li Zekai and Lu Mingyuan will join later!
With them plus Liu Dong and He Chaoqiong, the number of people participating is enough, and their backgrounds can withstand the greedy eyes from all sides, and no one wants to dilute their shares, so even if Lu Hongjun is Lu Mingyuan's uncle,
It’s impossible for anyone to let him get involved again!
Perhaps because he saw the strange look on everyone's faces, Lu Hongjun did not discuss anything related to gambling cards and casinos in the following conversation.
After everyone saw off Lu Hongjun, who had just gotten off the plane and was tired from the journey and needed a rest, Li Yuncong couldn't help but said: "Old Lu, what's going on? Why does your fourth uncle want to interfere in our casino?"
Seeing everyone's dissatisfied looks, Lu Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't know that my fourth uncle actually had such an idea! And I only found out that he was coming to Hong Kong after I received his call!"
Zhou Bin frowned, "We have already signed a cooperation agreement, and it is impossible for outsiders to get involved! And your fourth uncle...!"
Zhou Bin paused for a moment, but Lu Mingyuan knew what he was going to say next, because his fourth uncle's reputation in the business world was indeed not very good. This was almost a well-known thing in the mainland business circles. If it were not for the power of the Lu family,
Lu Hongjun’s real estate company has gone bankrupt many times!
"Okay, as we agreed before, the shareholders of Emperor Entertainment City will be the eight of us from now on. No one can let him join in the future!" Zhou Bin said solemnly.
"certainly!"
"no problem!"
Everyone nodded, no one wanted to give away the fruits of victory when they were close to success.
Seeing this, Liu Dong, who was sitting on the side, also breathed a sigh of relief. Now he has realized the benefits of bringing Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong in. At least with them here, he will not be able to resist those greedy eyes alone, although he will make less money.
A lot of money. But the pressure is also much less.
And he also believes that Lu Hongjun is just the first one who wants to get involved in the gambling industry, but he will never be the last one!
After Lu Hongjun left, they chatted for a while, and it was time for dinner. After dinner, it was almost time to return to Macau.
Not surprisingly, Lu Hongjun also joined the ranks this time!
Because the other party was considered an elder, although Zhou Bin, Li Yuncong, and Liu Dong felt a little unhappy inside, they didn't say anything.
When we came to the casino hall of the Lisboa Hotel again, the surrounding area was much livelier than during the day, and everything we could see was beauties and beauties in suits and swaying dresses!
What's more important is that tonight's gambling card competition final is obviously extraordinary. Almost more than half of the named rich people from Hong Kong and Macao are here!
Watching Li Zekai go to talk to his father, Liu Dong and others also found a seat nearby and sat down.
After a while, He Chaoqiong had already walked towards everyone with a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a somewhat stiff face.
Seeing this person, Liu Dong and Zhou Bin looked at each other, and a hint of understanding flashed through their eyes.
When He Chaoqiong saw Lu Hongjun coming out of the crowd, she was obviously stunned for a moment, but with her skillful skills, she quickly covered it up!
"I wonder who this gentleman is?"
"Sister Qiong, let me introduce you. This is my fourth uncle. He just arrived in Hong Kong this afternoon!" Lu Mingyuan immediately stood up and introduced.
Regardless of whether Lu Hongjun intends to interfere in the Emperor Entertainment City, as a junior, Lu Mingyuan is caught in the middle and it is hard to say anything. Moreover, he must maintain the respect of a junior outside!
"Oh? Hello Mr. Lu, I am He Chaoqiong. Welcome to Macau!"
After suddenly understanding Lu Hongjun's identity, He Chaoqiong stepped forward to greet him warmly.
In her opinion, making friends with these wealthy children from mainland China is really beneficial to her career!
"You're welcome, Miss He. I just asked your name in the Mainland. When I saw you today, you turned out to be a woman like no other!" Lu Hongjun complimented.
"Haha. Mr. Lu deserves the award!"
After briefly shaking hands with Lu Hongjun, He Chaoqiong pointed to the middle-aged man behind him, and then introduced to everyone: "This is Mr. Xiang Huaqiang, the chairman of China Star Group in Hong Kong!"
"Sure enough, it's him!" Liu Dong and Zhou Bin said at the same time.
Although they have never seen the true face of this Hong Kong underground gangster, they have seen Xiang Huaqiang's photos many times in newspapers and magazines, so they are not unfamiliar!
"Xiang Huaqiang!" Li Yuncong blurted out in surprise.
He remembered that Liu Dong told him that the gangsters who almost got him beaten up this morning were from Xin Ngee Ann who were subordinate to Xiang Huaqiang.
Obviously, Xiang Huaqiang had done enough homework before coming over, so after He Chaoqiong's introduction, he took a step forward and said apologetically to Li Yuncong: "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, I'm so sorry! Isn't it my person this morning?
I have offended you, and now I have severely punished them. I hope Mr. Li and Mrs. Li can forgive them and spare them! Moreover, I have also prepared something, which should be given to Mr. Li and Mrs. Li.
Madam’s apology!”
With that said, Xiang Huaqiang took an envelope from the attendant behind him and handed it to Li Yuncong with both hands!
Looking at Xiang Huaqiang who looked apologetic and honestly admitted his mistakes, Li Yuncong felt angry and didn't know how to express his anger!
Generally, people who are careless and irritable are obedient, and Li Yuncong is obviously no exception!
"Actually, we didn't suffer much from what happened in the morning. Forget it, we forgive those guys!" Li Yuncong waved his hand.
Of course, according to his temperament, he was not willing to suffer, especially the benefit of being delivered to his door, so he took the envelope from Xiang Huaqiang's hand.
However, even though Li Yuncong was very curious about what was inside, he couldn't open it in front of everyone, so he had to temporarily suppress his impulse.
But Liu Dong next to him used the relic Yuanguang to see clearly what was in the envelope, "This is really a generous offer to Huaqiang, a cash check of 2 million Hong Kong dollars!"
"Thank you Mr. Li and Mrs. Li for your magnanimity. To show my sincerity, I would like to host Mr. Li, Mrs. Li and everyone here at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow morning. I wonder if you would appreciate it?" Xiang Huaqiang said again.
After careful investigation, he knew very well the identities of Li Yuncong and Zhou Bin, and even more clearly knew their energy, so he really wanted to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with these second-generation celebrities and form a good relationship.
Because it involved more than just himself, Li Yuncong did not agree rashly, but looked at Zhou Bin! Among them, he was the oldest and had the most experience. As for Lu Hongjun, Li Yuncong never regarded him as a fellow!
"Mr. Xiang sincerely invites you. We shouldn't refuse, but we have already booked a flight back to the capital tomorrow morning. I'm afraid we can only decline Mr. Xiang's kindness. I'm really sorry!" After thinking for a while, Zhou Bin said apologetically.
Of course, these words are all excuses. The core reason is that Zhou Bin, who belongs to a wealthy family, does not want to have too much involvement with the Xiang family who controls Xin Ngee Ann.
It would be fine if it was just a small gang, but the other party was the mastermind behind a large gang of 100,000 people, and was registered with the State Council. Zhou Bin would never want to interact too much with such a person.
Once something is left in the opponent's hands, it's definitely a matter of wrong step and wrong step!
More importantly, being involved in gangs is equivalent to a crime in China. Although the problem can be big or small, it is easy to be attacked by political opponents. Although Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong are not in politics, they are both from political families.
No matter how much money they make outside, politics will always be the foundation of the Zhou and Li families, so Zhou Bin will never allow anything that damages the family's reputation to happen.
As for the gambling industry, although it has a bad reputation, it is a legal operation in Macau! And it will not be listed on the market! Except for a few people, no one will know the ownership structure, which is relatively secretive! So Zhou Bin has less scruples.
"Okay, then when you come to Hong Kong next time, I will host a banquet for you!"
Although Xiang Huaqiang said it simply, several people still noticed the gloom and embarrassment in his eyes, although it disappeared quickly!
"Definitely!" Zhou Bin said politely.
"Then I'll take my leave first!"
Looking at Xiang Huaqiang's back as he turned to leave, Li Yuncong couldn't help but said: "Brother Zhou, have we already booked the flight tickets? Why didn't I know?"
"Bang!" After knocking her husband's forehead hard, Zhuang Wen couldn't help but said, "With your stupid head, couldn't you tell that Brother Zhou just rejected Xiang Huaqiang's excuse?"
After suddenly realizing it, Li Yuncong couldn't help holding his head and complained to Zhuang Wen: "Honey, please don't hit me on the head in the future. It hurts! And can't you save me some face in front of others?"
"Humph, who told you not to use your brain!" Zhuang Wen snorted coldly.
Seeing this, everyone shook their heads. They had seen too many quarrels between these happy enemies.
"By the way, let's see what the man named Xiang gave us!"
With that said, Li Yuncong opened the envelope in his hand with curiosity on his face.
Soon a 2 million cash check from Standard Chartered Bank appeared in Li Yuncong's hand. Looking at the series of zeros behind it, Li Yuncong was stunned for a moment. After realizing it, he quickly said: "One hundred million, one hundred thousand, one million, two million."
?”
"This person named Xiang is too generous. The price is 2 million!" Zhuang Wen was a little surprised after seeing the number on the check clearly.
Although the two of them accounted for 5% of the shares of Emperor Entertainment City, worth more than 100 million US dollars, most of the money was from Hanhua Bank loans that Liu Dong helped them apply for, and Li Yuncong and his wife invested less than
To 40 million Chinese dollars, you can imagine what a huge sum of money 2 million Hong Kong dollars is in their minds!
And this was 2002, and the Chinese currency had not depreciated! (To be continued.)
