Chapter five hundred and forty-fifth strong alliance
"Henry, I haven't congratulated you on winning the title of Gambling King yet..."!
Qin Feng sat down in confusion. He saw that Chen Shihao on the side seemed to have a look of envy on his face. As for Henry Wei, his expression was very normal, and he could not even see the excitement of winning the title of Gambling King.
"It's all thanks to you, otherwise it would be difficult for me to get through the first round, and in the finals, I was lucky enough to get tenth place..."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Henry Wei smiled bitterly. It was a fluke that he won the title of Gambling King this time. If Sigmund hadn't fainted due to exhaustion, the last spot might not have been his.
Moreover, in the first round of the main event, Qin Feng helped him eliminate Washburn, who was ranked twelfth in the world, which paved the way for him to win the title of gambling king.
Although Henry Wei is usually low-key, he is very energetic. This gambling king competition has given him a new knowledge. It turns out that the gambling skills of Europe and the United States have surpassed the gambling circles of Australia and Island.
"Henry, sometimes luck is also a kind of strength!" Qin Feng smiled and asked: "Who is the champion of this gambling king competition?"
To be honest, Qin Feng still felt a little regretful about not being able to participate in the finals.
He recently wanted to do some real estate development business in the capital, but after calculation, the little money he had was simply not enough. This time he came to Las Vegas just to try to win some funds and go back.
"It's Gatehouse!"
Mentioning the winner of this Gambling King Competition, Henry Wei's face became solemn and said: "Gedhaus is the champion of four consecutive Gambling King Competitions. He is only thirty-two years old now. In the next ten years,
, maybe it is still his world..."
When mentioning Gatehouse, Henry Wei put down his pride and was convinced of him, because Gatehouse almost won the championship with a sweep, and the total prize money he earned was as high as 93 million.
Dollar.
"More than ninety million dollars?"
After hearing Henry Wei's words, Qin Feng smacked his lips. At the end of the century, the exchange rate between US dollars and RMB would be about 1:8.6, which is more than 90 million US dollars, almost 800 million RMB.
"This is not a lot of money. Last year, Gedhaus won 120 million US dollars in the Gambling King Competition!" Seeing Qin Feng's appearance, Chen Shihao said with a smile.
"One hundred and twenty million?! He has so much money, why does he still need to work for others?" Qin Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.
"Gatehouse has a stake in MGM."
Chen Shihao shook his head and said: "Although no one knows how much Gedhouse's shares are, last year Stanley Ho offered 3% of the shares in the Lisboa Casino to poach Gedhouse, but he refused.
…”
"Three percent of Lisboa?" Qin Feng took a breath after hearing this and said: "The gambling king is so bold, the price is not low..."
After staying in Macau for a while, Qin Feng knew that although Lisboa was controlled by Stanley Ho, the shares he owned should not exceed 20%. Taking out 3% at one time was definitely a big deal.
Another point is that the gambling industry in Australia Island is governed by a gambling franchise system.
Even though there are not as many casinos in Ao Island as in Las Vegas, the profit far exceeds the sum of all the casinos in Las Vegas. Calculated in this way, this three percent share is an astronomical figure.
Of course, there should be many restrictions on the three percent given by Stanley Ho. At least within ten years, Gatehouse cannot buy or sell these shares and can only receive dividends every year.
"The king of gambling can be regarded as buying horse bones for thousands of dollars, right?" Chen Shihao said with a smile: "But who knew that Gedhaus didn't give him this face? I heard that Stanley Ho was very angry at the time."
After winning the title of Gambling King, Chen Shihao can be said to be on the opposite side of Stanley Ho, so his words are not as polite as before.
"Danny, I guess Gatehouse may not want to go." Henry Wei shook his head and said, "Maybe he also signed some agreement with MGM."
"Well, what you said makes some sense, but even then, MGM will not lose Gatehouse's shares." Chen Shihao nodded in agreement.
"I would like to see Gedhaus's gambling skills."
Before hearing Ye Han's name, Qin Feng had never thought that a person could become a world-class tycoon by relying on gambling, but now there is another Gadhouse.
"You want to bet with Gedhaus? Then you can participate in the Gambling King Competition next year?" Chen Shihao said: "As long as you participate, you will definitely not be able to escape the title of Gambling King..."
Before participating in the competition, Chen Shihao still had doubts about Qin Feng's ability, but after the qualifiers, these doubts had long since disappeared. Chen Shihao could see that Qin Feng's gambling skills were definitely superior to Henry Wei's.
"I won't come here again next year. The matters in your circle are not something that I can interfere with right now."
Qin Feng smiled bitterly and waved his hand. He originally wanted to get involved in the gambling industry on Ao Island, but the more he learned, the more he gave up hope.
You know, although Qin Feng is a good gambler, he does not have the same prestige in the gambling world as Ye Han and Gedhaus now. Even Chen Shihao now never mentions the 10% thing.
"Brother Qin, do you really want to take a gamble with Gedhaus?"
When Qin Feng, Henry Wei and others were talking about things in the gambling world, Bai Zhentian remained silent. However, after hearing Gedhouse's name, his expression suddenly became very weird.!
"You always have to see it if you have the chance."
Qin Feng nodded. As the saying goes, there is no one better than martial arts. Qin Feng now has the ability to see through the cards. He doesn't believe there is anyone in this world who can win against him.
"Yes, you will have a chance soon." Bai Zhentian patted Qin Feng on the shoulder.
"How do you say this?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Bai Zhentian smiled and said: "The rubber king in Brazil has something to do and can't come here at the moment. He entrusted Gedhaus to help him participate in Abdul's gambling game, so doesn't your opportunity come?"
"Is this okay? Does everyone else agree?"
Qin Feng's eyes widened. In this kind of gambling game among the top rich, the world's number one gambling master actually got involved. Would that Arab prince named Abdul be willing?
"Since I can ask you to help me bet, of course others can too?"
Bai Zhentian curled his lips and said: "As for Abdul, that man is just a prodigal. He paid hundreds of millions of dollars for Gedhaus to accompany him in gambling, and he couldn't ask for more."
"Damn, are you just playing with hundreds of millions of dollars?" Qin Feng was completely speechless this time.
I originally thought that the hot spring manor that Bai Zhentian took him to was already very high-end, but it seems that in this world, every mountain is higher than the next, and Abdul's play is even more heart-pounding.
"The underground oil in Arabia can bring them huge wealth every year. No matter how much they squander, they can't spend it all." Bai Zhentian shook his head and said, "Brother, are you sure you can win Gatehouse?"
In this gambling game, the minimum entry capital is two hundred million U.S. dollars. Although Bai Zhentian has received a promise from Hongmen that if he loses the money, it will be regarded as a personal expense, but he is not willing to let others win it in vain.
"If you bet, you won't win or lose. If you don't bet, no one will know."
Qin Feng said: "I now have more than 17 million in hand, and I will invest it in this gambling game. Brother Bai, the money I win is all my own."
Upon hearing the minimum entry capital of 200 million, Qin Feng's blood boiled all of a sudden, as if he saw countless Franklins waving to him.
"Okay, let's do as we said before!" Bai Zhentian gave Qin Feng a strange look and said, "Brother Qin, I will take you over this time. I have other things to tell you."
"Something else? Did my sister find it?" Qin Feng suddenly raised his head, and the dollars in his mind disappeared instantly.
"Brother, I am incompetent and still haven't found it."
Hearing Qin Feng's question, Bai Zhentian suddenly had a wry smile on his face. Although he used a lot of force, he did not find a girl similar to Qin Jia in the United States.
"What's that?" Qin Feng's body was like a deflated rubber ball, and he lay back on the sofa, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"About gambling in Australia."
Bai Zhentian looked at Chen Shihao and said: "Ahao and I have reached a preliminary agreement. Two years later, we will work together to win a gambling license on the island and enter the gambling scene on the island...
"Huh? Brother Hao, have you made your decision?"
Qin Feng also looked at Chen Shihao after hearing this. He knew that Chen Shihao had been wavering between Hong Kong Tycoon and Hongmen before and had not made a final decision.
"I have decided to cooperate with Boss Bai's Hongmen."
Chen Shihao nodded and said: "Boss Bai promised that although most of the funds will be provided by them, the operation and management authority of the casino belongs to me, and Hongmen shall not interfere in any specific affairs of the casino..."
For Chen Shihao, who was unwilling to cooperate with Hongmen before, what he fears most is that after cooperating with him, he will eventually be marginalized or even kicked out.
But the promise given by Hongmen can be said to be sincere, and Hongmen will invest one billion U.S. dollars in the first phase of the casino's infrastructure, and will inject another billion dollars later for various software and hardware facilities.
upgrade.
When Bai Zhentian revealed Hongmen's plan, he immediately suppressed Chen Shihao.
Two billion US dollars is equivalent to nearly 18 billion Hong Kong dollars. He can imagine that the casino built with so much money will undoubtedly become the most luxurious casino in the world.
In charge of the operation and management of such a casino, Chen Shihao would be willing to cooperate with Hongmen even if he was given less shares, not to mention that Hongmen gave him enough shares.
With Hongmen's financial resources and influence in the Chinese world, coupled with Chen Shihao, a local snake born and raised in Macau Island, and Henry Wei's title of gambling king, this combination can definitely be regarded as a strong alliance.
The previous plutocrats in Hong Kong, especially the Fu family, originally started out in the gambling industry. If they cooperate with them, I am afraid that Chen Shihao will be restricted in many places.
"Brother Hao, congratulations. Come on, I'll give you a cup of tea instead of wine, Brother Hao!"
Qin Feng picked up the tea cup in front of him and said: "In another three to five years, I'm afraid that when the name of gambling king is mentioned in Ao Island, Ho Hong-shen will not be mentioned alone!"
Chen Shihao smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Brother, don't be too busy congratulating me, you have a share of this!"
"What's the matter with me?" Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the people in front of him with some suspicion. He had already given up on getting involved in the gambling industry on Ao Island.
