Xie Sipeng hosted a banquet and also invited three friends to the Lana Del Rey Hotel. They are all Chinese businessmen doing trade and investment in Dracula Mo. They drank and drank, and everyone happily competed in Texas Hold'em poker skills at the dining table - Texas Hold'em in
It is very popular in the upper class of Kanem, and it has almost become a necessary skill if you want to make friends with powerful people in Kanem.
These three people have also visited Jinyuan Casino before, but their words reveal their disdain for the simplicity of the casino.
One guy repeatedly raised his wrist and shook it twice in front of Song Yuqing, fearing that Song Yuqing wouldn't see his gold Rolex watch. Song Yuqing was so angry that she simply sat next to Cao Mo and ignored the man's conversation.
Abacha was present, and the topic occasionally mentioned the situation of Sika and the Felician family cement factory.
Abacha is really a typical boring character.
He has no reservations about people he thinks he is interested in, and is even a little over-enthusiastic. But in front of people who need to be vigilant, he has a gloomy and indifferent look, which is a bit like a local official.
He only vaguely admitted that the cement plant is the most important investment project for him, the Sika family and the Felician family at present, but he never mentioned the details.
Of course, Xie Sipeng and others never mentioned the matter of importing cement from China.
It was almost nine o'clock, and Xie Sipeng said it was still early, so everyone would play two games of Texas Hold'em at the Lana Del Rey Hotel for fun before breaking up.
After hearing Xie Sipeng's suggestion, little Tubman readily agreed. Cao Mo suspected that his previous guesses about Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng were a bit off.
The guess is biased, but it doesn't mean that his intuition is wrong.
Xie Sipeng approached little Tubman and dragged him to the Golden Dollar Casino, which was indeed a deliberate move.
However, what is their motive? Is it to win a lot of money from Tubman Jr. and then force Tubman Jr. to sell the family property at a low price, or is it something else?
Cao Mo can't read minds, and it can't be revealed simply and directly.
Cao Mo now knows that the Tubman family has an investment share in the Lana Del Rey Hotel, and Xie Sipeng has been to the Lana Del Rey Hotel to entertain little Tubman again and again. Combined with the fact that Xie Sipeng, the three friends inadvertently revealed their disdain for the simplicity of the Golden Dollar Casino.
, he couldn’t help but think:
Is it possible that the ultimate goal of Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng is not to cheat Tubman Jr., but to cooperate with Tubman Jr. to move the Golden Dollar Casino to the Lana Del Rey Hotel?
To be honest, Cao Mo had never had the opportunity to enter the VIP rooms on the second and third floors of the Jinyuan Casino, but the lobby on the ground floor was only three to four hundred square meters. It was too narrow and crude, and he felt a little disgusted.
At present, there are more and more Chinese in Draculamore. From a purely business perspective, the demand for casinos is also getting stronger and stronger. However, the generous Chinese businessmen and the management of Chinese-owned enterprises are very knowledgeable in traveling around and playing two games in their spare time.
Well, the requirements for casinos are still quite high; not to mention attracting the local rich in Draculamore.
Jinyuan Casino is too simple and shabby. It can only be said to be Yan Zhicheng's test of the waters. If he wants to achieve greater development, the bottleneck in the hardware must be solved.
Yan Zhicheng and Xie Sipeng want to acquire land near Central Street. The cost is of course very low. Even the yard where the Golden Dollar Casino is currently located is right next to Central Street and covers an area of 5,000 to 6,000 square meters. It is possible to plan and build a building of 20,000 to 30,000 square meters.
luxury building to open casino.
On the one hand, the construction cost in Draculamore is too high. A high-rise building of 20,000 to 30,000 square meters must be decorated with high-end luxury. An investment of 10 to 20 million US dollars cannot be achieved in Draculamore.
Cao Mo estimated that if Xie Sipeng and Yan Zhicheng joined forces, they would have to use up their bottom line to come up with this investment.
On the other hand, there are currently state-owned construction companies in Kanem that undertake the construction of large and medium-sized projects. It is impossible for them to cooperate with Yan Zhicheng, who has an unknown background, let alone undertake the construction of a casino building. This is considered a political mistake in China.
And if Yan Zhicheng, Xie Sipeng and the others cannot find a state-owned construction company to cooperate and find a local infrastructure team from Dracula, the new casino building will not be put into use until the Year of the Donkey?
For them, the best solution is to rent part of the venue from the Lana Del Rey Hotel and move the casino directly there.
This plan, with very limited investment, can significantly increase the size and quality of the casino.
If you think about it this way, it is not difficult to understand why little Tubman did not take his sister Staley's warning to heart. Xie Sipeng should have made this clear to him, but little Tubman needs to convince other investors in the hotel
.
Of course, it cannot be said that his initial guesses about Yan Zhicheng and Xie Sipeng were wrong.
Perhaps Yan Zhicheng and Xie Sipeng initially wanted to set up a trap to make Tubman lose a large amount of money and incur heavy debts, so that it would be easier to force Tubman to commit the crime.
"It would be nice to play two games," Cao Mo had this guess and stretched out. "The scenery here is good, and you can enjoy the supporting services of the hotel. If you can circle a few villas near the sea and build a casino, then
I’m really going to make a fortune…”
"Haha, Brother Cao also thinks this is a good idea?" Xie Sipeng asked with a smile.
Cao Mo suspected that he was really a genius, and he had guessed Xie Sipeng's thoughts. When Yang Deshan's eyelids twitched slightly, he could see that Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng were really in cahoots during this period, and they knew about it.
No matter what Xie Sipeng and the others were planning, Cao Mo would not get involved in this kind of thing.
Of course, he also had some self-reflection and had an intuition that was almost telepathic. Why was there such a big deviation in guessing Xie Sipeng, Yan Zhicheng and their final intentions?
On the one hand, he is young and lacks experience and insight, but the main reason is that his intuition brings him too much vigilance, and at the same time he underestimates the ambition and greed of others.

Little Tubman is not very good, but he loves to play Texas Hold'em poker, and he also enjoys life. Not only does the Tubman family have a mansion in the Aral Lake Island area, he also has a dedicated ocean-view suite at the Lana Del Rey Hotel.
There is a standard Texas Hold'em poker table and chips and other equipment inside.
Everyone walked from the open-air restaurant to the room. Cao Mo stood at the gaming table without taking a seat. When he saw Xie Sipeng inviting him, he fiddled with the chips and said with a smile: "I am qualified to play with Mr.
Mr. Boorman will be bored to death."
"Young man, you have to be dignified. Dongsheng's monthly salary for overseas employees is more than 10,000, right? You look so awkward, but you have lost Mr. Yang's face -" The one who always shows off in front of Song Yuqing
The guy with a gold Rolex watch had already disliked Cao Mo. Now he sat down at the gambling table, pretended to be a big brother and lectured Cao Mo, and even called Guo Jianlai, "Manager Guo, these are the soldiers you led.
Unqualified!"
"Mr. Ma, right? I see you showing off your Rolex at every turn today. It can't be fake. Otherwise, we will play nine blackjacks and bet on your Rolex?" Cao Mo listened today.
This guy named Ma Bin was talking too much, and his rogue eyes were still scanning Song Yuqing's body. He felt annoyed, so he picked up a deck of playing cards, opened them, put them in the middle of the card table, and said politely, "Mr. Ma, you
Be the banker, or should I be the banker?”
Cao Mo thought to himself that he didn't dare to offend the local officials in Kanem, the criminal gangs in Kanem, and Yan Zhicheng, who took both black and white in Kanem. But you came over with a pig-headed face. There was really no need to hold back.
Two slaps.
Ma Bin was stunned for a moment, his face looking a little ugly.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Mr. Ma may have thought that Mr. Cao didn't say much today, so he just thought he was an ordinary employee under Mr. Yang..." Xie Sipeng was tactful after all. Seeing that Cao Mo was about to fall out with Ma Bin, he quickly stood up to smooth things over.
"..."
Cao Mo didn't even use intuition. He didn't believe that Xie Sipeng invited his three friends to come to the dinner. Wouldn't he briefly introduce their identities in advance?
Using normal logic, one can also guess that Xie Sipeng did not mention him in front of Ma Bin, but did not say anything good about him, which is why Ma Bin was so presumptuous and wanted to teach him a lesson by pretending to be pretentious.
Well, Cao Mo felt that he had not given Xie Sipeng face now, so he took out his business card from his pocket, threw it on the table, and said to Ma Bin,
"I haven't formally introduced myself to Mr. Ma yet - I, Cao Mo, although I am currently working under Mr. Yang, I am also the senior personal adviser to Mr. Abacha and the Felician family. If Mr. Ma has
If you have the opportunity to do business in Longta, if you need any consultation, you can contact me."
"Longta?" Ma Bin had a breath stuck in his throat and couldn't spit it out. Maybe he looked down on the poor place in Longta at all, but Abacha was sitting here as the municipal committee member of Longta. If he turned against him and made rude remarks, he would
You have to consider whether offending a local snake will have any unexpected consequences.
"Didi"
At this time, Abacha's cell phone rang twice in his pocket, and news came in.
Seeing Abacha eagerly take out his mobile phone and raising his eyebrows after reading it, Cao Mo knew that Kanaim's cement import ban bill was passed.
Abacha has been restless all afternoon, waiting for this news.
With this good news, Cao Mo suddenly felt calm and felt that there was no need to deal with Ma Bin, a pig-headed man.
To be honest, whether the bill passes or not will not affect Cao Mo's determination to invest in building a cement factory in Yibogu. However, Abacha pledged all his wealth and even hired two personal bodyguards to serve as security deputies at the Yibogu gold mine.
In order to save daily expenses, the supervisor wants to make a lot of money in the short term.
Abacha handed the phone to Cao Mo and read an English text message on it. Not only was the cement import ban bill passed, it was even directly submitted to President Buhari for signature. News from within the Patriotic Construction Front, President Buhari
We will not continue to oppose it, and it is very likely that it will be signed and passed directly tonight.
It can be seen that the forces behind this matter are ruthless enough and do not leave any time window for cement importers.
Cao Mo couldn't predict what kind of turmoil this bill would cause in Kanem. Anyway, they could quietly make a fortune this time, and then quietly watch Xie Sipeng, Yang Deshan and the others' wonderful performances.
"What is it that makes you so happy?" Abacha's face was so obviously happy that Xie Sipeng couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It's nothing. My personal suggestion to Abacha is to make him a small fortune. He is saying that he will increase my consulting fee." Cao Mo said with a smile.
Abacha also pretended to be reserved and put his cell phone back in his pocket.
Song Yuqing was standing next to Cao Mo, but when she saw the content of the text message, she didn't understand the impact of the whole thing for a while.
"Brother Cao, don't be too petty. The five-dollar entertainment bureau will let you get some more money from us," Xie Sipeng shouted when he saw Cao Mo and Abacha pretending to be mysterious and couldn't find out anything.
He started the bet and said, "You can't just let everyone stand idle in the room..."
Although Cao Mo still owed Xie Sipeng a loan of 200,000 US dollars, but Xie Sipeng's seemingly smooth words still favored Ma Bin.
However, Cao Mo was in a very good mood at this time, so he didn't care about them and pulled out his chair and sat down...
