Half an hour later, Bai Zhentian and others were already sitting in a Chinese restaurant! Except for people from Hongmen and Chen Shihao, there were no other customers in the restaurant.
On the main table, two people were sitting, Bai Zhentian and Chen Shihao, and the rest of the people were on the table next to them.
Qin Feng originally wanted to slip away halfway, but he never found the opportunity. At this moment, he deliberately sat at a table far away from Liu Zimo. He knew that although his face shape had changed, his body shape had not changed, and he might be spotted by Liu Zimo.
Get some clues.
"Ah Hao, you came here this time to win the title of gambling king, right?"
Bai Zhentian is not very tall, only about 1.75 meters tall, with a medium build, and his appearance is not ferocious. On the contrary, he is somewhat elegant, but sitting there with a big horse and a golden sword, he has a sense of power.
"Boss Bai, that's right!"
When Bai Zhentian led a large group of people to travel across Hong Kong and Macao, Chen Shihao was just a small figure. Hearing Bai Zhentian's words, he did not hide anything and said directly: "Australia is about to return. I heard the news. Mr. He is holding the
The gambling licenses are likely to be withdrawn and then reissued, and there will be more than one..."
Chen Shihao knew that these things that happened on Ao Island obviously could not be hidden from Bai Zhentian and others. Instead of being secretive, it would be better to speak out openly and gain others' favor.
"I know this."
Bai Zhentian nodded and suddenly said: "Ah Hao, our Hongmen also want to compete for a gambling license on Ao Island. Are you interested in cooperating?"
At Bai Zhentian's status, he no longer needs to mince words when speaking, he can get straight to the point and say what he means.
You should know that although Hongmen is powerful, due to political reasons, it has always been entrenched in countries such as Europe and the United States, and even rarely sets foot in Southeast Asia.
Therefore, if they want to open a casino in Macau, they must win over a local force, and Chen Shihao, who is also a member of the martial arts community, is naturally their first choice for cooperation.
"Boss Bai, you...you also want to open a casino on Ao Island?"
Although Chen Shihao was somewhat mentally prepared after hearing the conversation between Bai Zhentian and Alejandro earlier, he never expected that Hongmen, which had never developed its influence in Asia, would actually turn its attention to Australia this time.
"Ah Hao, your industry is still small and you don't understand the importance of a casino to an organization like ours..."
Bai Zhentian nodded. Nowadays, American society is cracking down on organized crime with increasing intensity, and various countries have also introduced anti-money laundering laws. Now a lot of black income within organizations cannot flow normally to the capital market.
At this point, Hongmen has lagged behind the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Mafia. As early as more than ten years ago, the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Mafia had penetrated into Las Vegas casinos through various means.
Although these two organizations have not been able to achieve absolute control of the casino, they can launder a large amount of black income from the casino every year and transfer it to investment in some legitimate industries.
In European and American countries, there are also many abnormal forms. They not only respect the law, but also attach great importance to capital.
Although these countries clearly know that some industries and funds belong to corporate organizations, legally speaking, there is no problem with the money. Therefore, these organizations can also obtain the political status they need through investment.
Therefore, after learning about the changes that were going to happen on Ao Island, the top management within Hongmen unanimously agreed to do everything possible to win a gambling license on Ao Island.
Making money by opening a casino is secondary to Hongmen. They mainly want to clean up the huge black income earned within the organization every year, and then re-enter the capital market after wandering around the island.
"Boss Bai, you are really making things difficult for me."
After hearing Bai Zhentian's words, Chen Shihao couldn't help but smile bitterly. Compared with Hongmen's structure, he would be satisfied if he could own a stake in a casino on Ao Island.
So when the Fu family in Hong Kong found him, the two parties had already reached a verbal agreement. Of course, the most important point was that he, Chen Shihao, would dominate the future operation of the casino.
Hongmen's behavior is comparable to that of Chen Shihao, and his power is countless times greater than his. The advantages that Chen Shihao has on Ao Island are nothing in front of Hongmen.
Chen Shihao believes that with the strength of Hongmen, this priority will definitely be reversed. I am afraid that at most he is just a shareholder with some shares and receiving dividends every year.
"Ah Hao, don't rush this matter, you can think about it carefully.
Bai Zhentian waved his hand, looked at Qin Feng and others, and said, "I heard that you brought Uncle Han's men here? Why didn't you see Henry Wei?"
Ye Han and Hongmen also have some connections. When Ye Han gambled heavily in Las Vegas, Bai Zhentian came over from San Francisco and stayed with Ye Han for several days, so he was also acquainted with Henry Wei and others.
If Hongmen wanted to get involved in the gambling industry, it was indispensable to open casino employees. Originally, Hongmen wanted to recruit these people under its command after Ye Han's death.
But unexpectedly, once Ye Han died, his people immediately fell apart. Only people like Chen Shihao and Henry Wei who were closely related could bring Ye Han's old people together.
"Henry will participate in the knockout round the day after tomorrow and is resting in the hotel now.
Hearing Bai Zhentian mention Henry Wei, Chen Shihao was even more entangled in his heart. He heard what the other party meant, that is, even without him, Chen Shihao, Hongmen could still bring together a group of people to compete for gambling cards on Ao Island.
Bai Zhentian saw Chen Shihao's thoughts, smiled, changed the subject, and said, "Ah Hao, don't worry, Hongmen follows rules when doing things."
"That's right, Ah Hao knows what Boss Bai is like." Chen Shihao nodded repeatedly when he heard this, but in his heart he didn't believe it at all. How could someone who could blackmail the mafia still talk to him about the rules?
"Come, let's eat..."
Seeing the stalemate in the scene, Bai Zhentian couldn't help but smile and said: "Ah Hao, this Chinese restaurant is run by an authentic Cantonese. How do you like the steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce?"
“It tastes really good…”
Chen Shihao was not in the mood to taste delicious food at this time. He was afraid that Bai Zhentian would force him to answer now, so he said immediately: "Boss Bai, that Alessandro is not an easy person. This little brother should be careful..."
When he was in Ao Island, Chen Shihao had seen Alejandro's methods and knew that what Alejandro had learned were killing techniques, which were far beyond what ordinary black boxers could compare with.
"I'll be there then." Bai Zhentian couldn't help but glared at Liu Zimo after hearing this, and said, "Young man is very angry, which makes you laugh, Hao."
"No, Uncle Bai, we can't let that Italian guy laugh at the fact that there is no one in Hongmen!"
Liu Zimo, who was sitting at the table next to Bai Zhentian, immediately shouted after hearing Bai Zhentian's words: "Uncle Bai, although you are getting stronger with age, these fighting things should be left to us juniors!"
"Nonsense, Alejandro came from a Siberian training camp. I guess I can only be on par with him now. If you go up there, you are courting death!"
Although Bai Zhentian severely injured Alejandro five years ago, Bai Zhentian was not yet fifty at that time and was at the peak of his physical strength and blood in his life.
Now in the past five years, Bai Zhentian's health has begun to decline, and Alejandro is just in his early thirties. Under the circumstances, Bai Zhentian really dare not say that he can definitely win against Alejandro.
"Uncle Bai, don't worry, I haven't lived enough and I won't seek death." Liu Zimo smiled confidently, but did not continue, obviously because the restaurant was crowded with people talking.
"I'll take care of you later..."
Bai Zhentian was an old man, so he naturally heard something in Liu Zimo's words, and without asking any more questions, he picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay, let's have a drink. You have treated all the brothers from China."
"Boss Bai, I should be the one who respects you!"
Seeing Bai Zhentian coming over with a wine bowl and toasting, Chen Shihao smiled bitterly in his heart. He was born and raised in Hong Kong and Macao. He usually drank red wine or foreign wine, and rarely had the opportunity to drink white wine.
"You are a guest from afar, and I am the landlord here. I would like to pay tribute to you first!" Bai Zhentian raised his neck and drank three ounces of Erguotou in the bowl without even frowning.
"Okay, Brother Bai, please be happy!"
Chen Shihao knew that he was probably going to get drunk today, so he imitated Bai Zhentian and drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp. However, after drinking, his eyebrows also wrinkled into the Chinese character "Sichuan".
Boss Bai promised to entertain the guests well. The few people brought by Chen Shihao were immediately besieged by a group of people from Hongmen. They poured bowls of wine into the stomachs of A Kun and others in various ways.
"Come on, brother, I'll give you a bowl!"
Liu Zimo came to Qin Feng with a wine bowl. He found that among the group of people, Qin Feng seemed to be the better drinker. He drank almost a kilogram of wine, and this guy was not drunk yet.
"Grandma, if you don't think about it, how can you duel with others? How can you have a drink with me?" Qin Feng was on the verge of tears at this moment. If he had known that he would meet Liu Zimo, he would not have followed Chen Shihao to watch the excitement.
"Hey, why are your eyes so familiar?"
Looking at Qin Feng's sad and angry eyes, Liu Zimo couldn't help but froze for a moment, looked at Qin Feng's face carefully, and said: "Your eyes are very similar to one of my brothers, that is my dead brother, come on, this
You must drink the bowl of wine..."
After hearing Liu Zimo's words, Qin Feng felt hot in his heart. Thinking about it carefully, there was really no need to hide his identity from Liu Zimo. As Liu Zimo said, if he didn't even believe his dead brother, who else could Qin Feng believe?
"Grandma, haven't you and I drank enough?"
Having made up his mind, Qin Feng whispered into Liu Zimo's ear while clinking glasses with him. The hoarse voice he originally pretended to have returned to its original tone.
