"Henry, I'm sorry, I was delayed by something, I'm late..." An hour later, Qin Feng felt in the club office where Henry Wei was.
"It's okay, I don't have much to do except drink tea here all day!"
Henry Wei smiled and poured a cup of Kung Fu tea for Qin Feng and said: "Drinking tea can nourish Qi and calm the mind, which is very important for us. I learned the Kung Fu of Qi nourishing from the tea ceremony."
"As long as anything can be done to the extreme, it will have this effect."
Qin Feng smiled noncommittally. For those who practice internal martial arts, as long as they meditate for a few minutes, they can immediately calm their minds. There is no need to use these things to cultivate their sentiments.
"Qin Feng, you are leaving tomorrow. Are you ready for things here?"
Henry Wei is from the south. Although he has been in Beijing for several years, he still cannot learn the habit of talking in roundabout ways in the mainland. After Qin Feng sat down, he asked straight to the point.
"The air tickets have been booked, I won't not go, right?"
After hearing what Henry Wei said, Qin Feng shook his head with a smile and said: "Henry, I promised you and Brother Hao that I will definitely do it, but I have some ideas of my own about this gambling king competition...
…”
"Oh? Qin Feng, what do you think? Tell me."
Henry Wei was stunned when he heard this. After what happened on Ao Island, he knew that the young man in front of him was not someone he could control.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and said: "Henry, you are participating in the Gambling King Competition just because you want to return to Australia Island. Am I right in saying this?"
"Yes, you are right."
Henry Wei nodded and said with a wry smile: "Although it's not bad to be in the capital, I am from Ao Island. I have lived there for decades, and I always feel a lot of things I am not used to here..."
In fact, after following Ye Han for so many years, Henry Wei's remaining half of his life, even if he did nothing, would be enough to cover his expenses. Originally, after Ye Han's death, Henry Wei planned to quit the gambling world.
But the fact that Henry Wei, the shadow of the famous tree, has this idea does not mean that others believe it. At least Mr. He, the gambling king, did not believe it. He forced Henry Wei to leave the island through a gambling match.
Now Henry Wei's idea is very simple. After he wins the title of Gambling King through this Gambling King Competition, he can legitimately participate in the competition for gambling cards after the return of Australia Island.
As long as Chen Shihao can get a gambling card, even the gambling king cannot stop Henry Wei's return to Australia.
"Henry, I also have some thoughts about the gambling industry in Australia Island.
Qin Feng organized his words, thought for a while and said: "If I also want to participate in the competition for gambling licenses in Ao Island, I wonder if you are willing to support me?"
"Are you fighting for gambling cards?" Henry Wei, who was pouring tea, suddenly shook his hands and knocked over the tea cup in his hand.
"Qin Feng, are you kidding me? This joke is not funny..."
After taking the towel and wiping his hands, Henry Wei sat back on the chair again, staring at Qin Feng with his eyes. He wanted to see clearly whether Qin Feng was joking or serious.
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Qin Feng slowly picked up the boiling kettle, filled the tea cup with water, and skillfully brewed Kung Fu tea for Henry Wei.
"Are you serious?"
Henry Wei shook his head repeatedly and said: "Qin Feng, I think you don't know very well what this gambling card represents. Do you really think it is a business license for the gambling industry?"
The casino on Ao Island has a history of more than 140 years. In 1 year, the Portuguese government announced the legalization of gambling on Ao Island. Gambling stalls suddenly sprung up and there was chaos.
The authorities then enacted regulations to control gambling, and the administrative authorities issued gambling licenses. The winners of the private auctions were required to sign a contract with the authorities to gamble at designated locations; private gatherings for gambling were illegal and would be prohibited and banned.
The first person to obtain the gaming patent in Macau was a businessman named Lu Jiu. At first, he only operated lotteries such as "White Pigeon Ticket" and "Pearl Lottery". The form was simple and the business was deserted.
In 1930, Lu Jiu joined forces with Fan Jiepeng, He Tu and others to form the "Haoxing Company". With the support of Fok Zhiting, the president of the Bank of Guangdong Province, and Li Shengju, the founder of the Hong Kong Island Connian Bank, the central building on Xinma Road, Ao Island, was
The second and sixth floors of the hotel were opened into casinos, and a stage was set up in the casino, where famous Cantonese opera stars were invited to perform to attract gamblers.
In order to attract more Hong Kong people to come to Macao to gamble, "Hao Xing" also invested in the purchase of a destroyer and converted it into a passenger ship to travel between Hong Kong and Macao. This greatly shortened the sailing time between the two places, causing Hong Kong tourists to flock to Macao, and the exclusive gambling industry on Macao Island also began.
On track.
From the 1930s to the 1960s, the overall development of the gambling industry on Macao Island was stable and orderly. Of course, the extensive management method was an inevitable result of the overall economic climate of East Asia at that time.
In 1937, the Taixing Entertainment Corporation, jointly established by the chaebols Fu Laorong and Gao Kening, undertook investments in the Macao gambling industry and obtained exclusive rights. Their glory lasted until the 1960s.
In 1961, the "Four Heavenly Kings" such as Ye Han, Yip Deli, Stanley Ho, and Fok Ying-tung gathered on Macao Island. The entertainment company they jointly formed won the competition with the Fu and Gao families for 170,000 Hong Kong dollars.
The narrow price difference bid was successful and the gambling license was won.
After some infighting and reshuffling, Stanley Ho successfully pushed Ye Han out of Macao Island and became the new "godfather" of Macao Island's gambling industry. Since then, Macao Island's gambling industry has officially entered the "Lisboa Era".
From the ups and downs of more than half a century above, we can see that the importance of gambling cards in Ao Island is unparalleled by anything. Whoever gets the gambling cards wins the world in Ao Island!
After more than thirty years of gambling license franchise, Stanley Ho has built a huge gambling empire with a market value of more than 100 billion! If the country wants to win the gambling license, it must directly face Stanley Ho.!
Henry Wei really couldn't imagine why Qin Feng had the confidence to dare to say this. If he hadn't spent some time with Qin Feng and knew that he was a relatively stable person, Henry Wei would have scolded Qin Feng for being arrogant.
.
"Actually, to put it bluntly, a gambling license is just a business license."
Qin Feng turned a blind eye to the dissatisfaction on Henry Wei's face and said directly: "If you want to get a gambling license, it is nothing more than a competition for financial resources. Whoever has strong financial resources and can meet the requirements of the Australian island government will have the gambling license then?"
"You said it simply."
Henry Wei rolled his eyes and said: "If you want to fight for a gambling license, you don't have tens of billions of funds. You can't even get through the threshold. Apart from other things, do you have the money?"
Facing Qin Feng, Henry Wei really felt a little bit dumbfounded.
Not to mention that Qin Feng is just a young man in his early twenties, even the powerful Chen Shihao in Haojiang does not have the capital to win a gambling card. If the Fu family in Hong Kong Island had not found him, I am afraid that Chen Shihao would not have dared to play gambling cards.
idea.
Therefore, in Henry Wei's opinion, Qin Feng made a great career at a young age, and then his self-confidence expanded infinitely, so he said such outrageous words.
"Without me, I can only spend a few million at most." Qin Feng said honestly.
"Then you still dare to think about gambling?"
Henry Wei waved his hand and said: "Qin Feng, if you really want to enter the gambling industry on Ao Island, just agree to Brother Hao's conditions, but ten percent is somewhat impossible. Maybe you can get one percent by then.
Two shares..."
It can be said that Henry Guard knew everything about operating a casino. No matter how powerful he was, he only held a dozen percent of the shares in the Lisboa Casino.
Therefore, the 10% that Chen Shihao told Qin Feng before is simply impossible. When it comes to the distribution of interests after obtaining the gambling license, Chen Shihao estimates that he can only get 12% of the shares for Qin Feng at most.
But don't underestimate this one percent share. According to the current development of Aodao Casino, as long as it operates for ten or eight years, even one percent will probably have a market value of more than one billion.
Qin Feng actually saw this clearly. Chen Shihao has promised now, but when it comes to getting the gambling cards, Chen Shihao's right to speak will be very limited.
Those who have invested most of the funds will not agree to this kind of share distribution, because it will not involve the interests of one or two parties, and must balance the relationships of many aspects.
"Henry, what if someone behind me is willing to inject capital?" Qin Feng still has some vague ideas, but he must communicate with Henry before he can talk about other things.
"You also have people investing in it?"
Henry was shocked when he heard this, and his expression finally became serious, because he knew that Qin Feng had contacts with many upper-class people in the capital, so he might not be able to get the funds to develop the casino.
And when the island returns, although in principle the chief executive will be an islander, who dares to say that the central government has no influence on the island? This may also play a decisive role in the ownership of gambling licenses.
"It's not certain yet, it's just a possibility."
Qin Feng shook his head and said: "I just want to know, if I intend to compete for a gambling card, Henry, will you bring Uncle Ming and the others to my place?"
Qin Feng has always been unwilling to be controlled by others when doing things. After hearing from Chen Shihao that several Hong Kong wealthy people were going to participate in the gambling competition, Qin Feng had a vague plan to start a new business.
"Qin Feng, I'm sorry, I can't promise you."
Henry thought for a long time with a gloomy expression, then shook his head and said: "Danny and I have been old friends for decades. I can't do anything to feel sorry for him. Qin Feng, I can't do this...
…”
It was Chen Shihao who gave Henry Wei the hope of returning to Ao Island, so no matter from an emotional or moral perspective, Henry Wei would not abandon Chen Shihao and choose Qin Feng.
Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "What if Brother Hao chooses to cooperate with me?"
From the beginning to the end, Qin Feng never wanted to get rid of Chen Shihao. You must know that if you want to open a casino, funds are important, but Chen Shihao's power in the world is also an important factor in the success of this casino.
"So this is ah?"
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Henry Wei couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his expression suddenly relaxed, and said: "Qin Feng, I only sell Danny's face. As long as you can convince Danny to do it with you, of course I will
Following you..."
Qin Feng nodded and said: "That's good, Henry, don't tell Brother Hao about this yet. I will talk to him when the time is right."
There is still half a year before the return of Macao Island. At the time of the return, I believe that the SAR government will not rush to launch the gambling plan. This matter will not be carried out until at least two years later.
Now Chen Shihao only has such intentions with those wealthy people in Hong Kong and has not had any substantive contact.
Because all these prerequisites require Henry Wei to win the title of Gambling King in this Gambling King Competition, then Chen Shihao will be qualified to negotiate with the super rich in Hong Kong Island.
"I understand, Qin Feng, I really admire you."
Henry Wei obviously also knows that these matters have not yet been discussed, but facing Qin Feng, he now has an indescribable feeling. If Qin Feng can really win the gambling card by then, then he will be at such a high level
, you need to look up to yourself.
Qin Feng checked the time. He had to go to the teacher's house to deliver the blood swallow tonight. He stood up and said, "Okay, Henry, I'll leave first. Let's meet at the airport at noon tomorrow..."
