Chapter 297 Stand by and Watch
He Hongsheng is actually not worried about a certain gambling boat, compared with the giant of SJM, a gambling ship is nothing more than a small sampan, and its impact on SJM can be said to be painless. Don't look at the turnover of Jinfu's first voyage of hundreds of millions, it is because of the stimulation of the limit of one million, and in the future, it will definitely fall. Not to mention, the gambling boat sails twice a week, while SJM is open all year round.
However, the opening of the gambling ship is like opening a Pandora's box, stimulated by this, the gambling ship will definitely go to sea one after another in the future, if it really forms an industry and becomes Las Vegas on the sea, this threat is really big.
"You go out first. He Hongsheng waved his hand to his assistant. When he left the office, He Hongsheng began to weigh it carefully. After thinking about it, I still found that the impact of the gambling boat business on myself was too great, and if this ship was allowed to cast a net on the high seas to make money, there would definitely be other people who couldn't sit still, after all, He Hongsheng was only the gambling king of Macau, not even the king of Macau, and he couldn't cover the sky in Hong Kong and Macao with one hand. And the more boats, the worse the business of their own SJM will be.
picked up the phone: "I'm looking for Zheng Yutong." ”
When it comes to Zheng Yutong, the first thing that many people think of is Kim Dafu. In fact, Jin Dafu is only Zheng Yutong's inheritance of his father-in-law's inheritance, and it is not the core business of Zheng Yutong's property, it is nothing more than Zheng Yutong's private feelings. As one of the four major families in Hong Kong, Zheng Yutong is involved in a considerable number of industries in Hong Kong and Macau, including being one of the three major shareholders of SJM.
And the three major shareholders of Macau Entertainment, Ho Hongsheng, needless to say, are calling for wind and rain in Macau. Cheng Yutong, on the other hand, had deep ties in the colonial government of Hong Kong. As for the other Fok Ying-tung, everyone knows that he is a red-top businessman with his back to the mainland. Originally, the combination of the two was able to settle the official relations everywhere. Since Jing Jian's gambling boat is in Hong Kong, the first thing He Hongsheng thinks of is Zheng Yutong.
"Ah Sheng, what's the matter?" Zheng Yutong quickly picked up the phone.
"Do you know Jinfu's Sea Palace?" After many years of friendship, He Hongsheng put aside his politeness and went straight to the point, "Yesterday they went to sea ......"
"Mmmmmmmm......mmmm It wasn't until He Hongsheng finished saying everything that he thought about it, "It turned out to be Ah Ting's son-in-law?"
At this level, the relationship between Feng Biaoting and Jing Jian can no longer attract gossip between the two, whether Jing Jian is married to Feng Qianling or not, in their eyes, he is not much different from his son-in-law. And He Hongsheng talked about the point: "Ah Ting has already looked for me, and this matter has nothing to do with him." He doesn't care about anything, but he always has to save some face for Ah Ting. ”
"Oooh. Zheng Yutong seemed to be groaning, and after a long while, he said, "Then I'll come forward and ask Ating to come out for a meal?"
He Hongsheng immediately fell silent. Such an answer was not asked, which made He Hongsheng understand that Zheng Yutong was not very willing to be involved in this matter.
"You should go to Adong. Zheng Yutong finally said the last thing He Hongsheng wanted to hear......
Macau's gambling industry, I don't know how much money it makes Hong Kong people every year, has long aroused the eyes of countless people. Even many legislators in Hong Kong have introduced a bill to open up the gaming industry in Hong Kong. It's interesting to note that in the UK itself, gambling is legal, but in the Hong Kong colony, it is illegal. It can be seen from this that He Hongsheng and Zheng Yutong have great energy.
However, now, Zheng Yutong is not willing to make a move at all, and the gambling ship on the high seas has avoided Hong Kong law, and really uses official means?
......
Sighing, He Hongsheng called again: "I'm looking for Huo Yingdong!" I was helpless, how could the former brother of life and death make trouble to the point of cutting off his robe?
During the Korean War, when Hong Kong was short of gold and silver, Cheng Yutong personally escorted the ship from Macao to Hong Kong. And Ho Hongsheng has local connections in Macau. As for Fok Ying-tung, among the hundreds of Hong Kong British and local businessmen who smuggled to the mainland, Fok Ying-tung was almost the only one who sold genuine goods to Red China. The other merchants, whose medicines are mixed with flour and half of the water in gasoline, are already "merchants of conscience". Therefore, when adversity sees the truth, there will be a huge return from the mainland to Fok Yingdong later.
And these two people fought with pirates, fought with the rout of the Guo Party, fought with Hong Kong and Macao associations, and even fought with the patrol boats of the British army at sea, forming a brotherhood of life and death. Until the early 60s, with the majestic posture of crossing the river dragon, he won the Macau gambling license.
However, not long ago, that is, when the gambling license expired in 86, He Hongsheng renewed the contract for 5 years on the basis of a 10-year renewal and on the condition of almost "losing power and humiliating the country". Of course, the Portuguese colonial government died of laughter, and the mainland was furious, and it was necessary to understand that Macau would return to China in '99, and SJM actually renewed its contract until 2001? This is completely an infringement of the power of the future Macao SAR government.
After the incident, Huo Yingdong also immediately turned his face. first refused to attend the general meeting of shareholders of SJM, resigned as chairman of SJM, and completely dissociated himself from He Hongsheng. Then he went directly to the capital, donated money and invested, and did the work of explaining and making up. And never spoke to He Hongsheng on the phone again.
Compared with SJM, Fok Yingdong attaches great importance to his family's century-old foundation. Because he is a red-top businessman, Huo Yingdong has been suppressed by the Hong Kong colonial government for so many years, and he finally survived until he turned over, but he didn't expect to be stabbed in the back by his old brother, how could he not be angry?
"Ah Ting's son-in-law made a gambling boat on the high seas, and the water flowed hundreds of millions of dollars a day. He Hongsheng said into the phone.
Huo Yingdong's tone was calm: "You are mistaken, I only own the shares and no longer participate in the company's affairs, you have found the wrong person." ”
He Hongsheng's face was ugly: "If there are more and more gambling boats, everyone can board the ship directly from Hong Kong, who will cross the sea to Macao in the future? ”
He Hongsheng is not ready to bow his head and admit his mistake because of the renewal of the contract, in his opinion, after the return, the central government will ban the gambling industry does not know. I have created a fait accompli, and at least it is much more likely to continue. Although it is mainly for his own interests, it is also for the good of Huo Yingdong.
"You're looking for the wrong person!" Huo Yingdong repeated, and then hung up the phone directly.
......
Due to the Evil Continent, He Hongsheng didn't dare to mess around at this time, otherwise as soon as he returned, he would really be looking for his own death.
Originally, whether it was Zheng Yutong or Huo Yingdong, as long as one person came forward, they could basically drive Jin Fu away. But today's call was quite unsmooth, and the two major shareholders of SJM chose to stand by and watch.
This made He Hongsheng also quite depressed: "Is there nothing you can do about this ship?"
