Historically, the real sense of the famous luxury Southeast Asian gambling ship is from Malaysian gambling king Lim Wu Tong, who founded Star Cruises in 1993, this luxuriously decorated, first-class facilities cruise ship is mainly used for sightseeing, to and from the world's tourist routes.

But at the same time, there are still casinos on board——— but gambling is a little less meaningful, and tourists don't just get on board for gambling.

Because gambling boats do not have to pay gambling taxes, do not require government authorization, are not subject to legal restrictions, and are not within the scope of police supervision, they are quite popular.

In the late nineties, gambling on the high seas once robbed traditional casinos of 20% of the market share.

In addition, gambling on the high seas is popular with gamblers at public expense due to its concealment. Because many countries are now very strict about officials' participation in gambling, many people dare not openly appear in some famous casinos in Singapore and the United States, at this time, gambling ships have become the best choice.

"My father's ambition is very big, but it's a pity that he put his mind on the crooked door, according to what I know, the Golden Princess that he is going to cooperate with Boss Lei is still free of board, and I believe it will definitely attract a large number of guests who are willing to take advantage......" Wei Yuyun said what she knew as she walked.

"I'm afraid that some people who have never gambled can take a free ferry to Singapore, or they can go to the United States, and some other countries, and save a lot of money. Normal people who think they won't gamble for money are also put into the pit. People, they all think that they are determined to be determined, but in fact, bullshit is not as good as ......," He Zilong scolded in a low voice.

Wei Yuyun listened, shrugged and said that this was indeed the case.

It's no wonder that He Zilong thinks so, examples of rebirth in later generations abound.

In the 90s, when I went from China or other Asian countries to Western countries, how much was the cost of the optical route, I felt a pain in my flesh when I thought about it. Now there is a gambling boat that says that the road fare, accommodation and food are also free, but a gambling boat, and other joint boats.

Not only are the facilities much better than the general hotel, all kinds of entertainment equipment are available, but you can also go to the casino to go around, which is equivalent to adding another amusement item. If you don't want to go to the casino, it doesn't matter, eating and living on the boat is also very cost-effective. That's a lot of cheapness!

But as long as you take advantage of this, even if there are a small number of people who are really thick-skinned and do not go to the places where the ship gambles. As long as one of the new guests goes up and one out of ten people is willing to gamble, then the free accommodation of the other few people will basically make the steamer earn back.

And if more than two out of ten people go to play a few handfuls, it is pure profit.

No matter how shrewd you are, it is better to be a banker, taking advantage of the weakness of human nature to make money, this method has been played by merchants for thousands of years. Tried and tested, no one can avoid falling into the pit. Human nature is like that!

When the upstairs banquet hall arrived, there were already a lot of guests here. It seems that the shareholders here, as well as some guests, have been at a regular banquet for a long time.

As Wei Yuyun's father, who had met for a long time, but didn't have a deep chat, he was also chatting with Boss Lei at this time.

The party begins!

As if officials were holding a meeting, several people walked up to the podium to speak, and He Zilong understood that this was a shareholders' meeting, the kind that takes place once every six months. At the banquet, at another table, He Zilong even saw Sister Li, Lang Shao and the like, staying next to their parents.

There are also some officials who invite agents such as secretaries to attend, which is obviously inconvenient for them to come forward directly.

At the banquet, Wei Yuyun's father even said that he was going to cooperate with Boss Lei to open a gambling boat, which probably meant that he would pilot first. It is also the first time that a gambling ship has appeared in Singapore, such a large-scale luxury model. It is still of the ocean type, the investment is large, and the prospects are not completely certain.

Someone came out to make an example, and everyone imitated it after there was meat, so the shareholders here, whether they had heard the rumor for a long time, or just knew about it. They all applauded and expressed some congratulations.

When Boss Lei stood up to speak, he even said that he would cooperate with the Wei family and some Singapore cinemas to form an alliance to develop the film industry. didn't say it explicitly, but everyone also knew that he meant to fight against the Shaw Brothers' suppression.

It's normal to cooperate with each other and give each other benefits!

"In the future, in Hong Kong, our cinemas and some celebrities will also launch some movies about casinos to promote the positive image of the gambling industry......," Boss Lei said endlessly.

There are also many competitors in the gambling industry, far away from the legal gambling city in the United States, near the Ommen Casino, and someone is willing to help promote the gambling industry in Singapore, which is naturally a good thing. On the spot, some shareholders proposed that they were willing to invest and cooperate in the field of film. Boss Lei smiled and asked the secretary to go over and negotiate with the deputies of those shareholders in detail!

This picture reminds He Zilong of the various gambling gods and gambling saint movies in the Hong Kong film circle in history.

Not only Fa Ge is also participating, but Xing Ye and Andy are no exception!

"The Saint of Gambling" is a nonsensical movie in the early days of Zhou Xing X, and it is also Zhou Xing X's famous work. At that time, gambling films were all the rage, with low input costs and large returns. There are also some special investors standing in the back, and many stars have acted in similar movies.

In particular, "God of Gamblers", "Gambler", "Gambling Saint", "Gambling Lord", these four parts can be called each of them classics and the memories of many people, this series of movies is really a representative of Hong Kong films of that era, each one is good-looking, and each one is wonderful!

And "God of Gamblers" is the pinnacle of Hong Kong gambling films, and it has also set off a boom in Hong Kong gambling films!

-

"God of Gamblers was launched in 1989, and in the past few years, new gambling movies have been filmed in Hong Kong almost every year, and then distributed to the rest of the world. The general trend is like this, even if Boss Lei doesn't shoot, there will be other people who shoot, and it's nothing to start shooting...... This is indeed a good idea to get closer to Singapore and increase relations!" He Zilong didn't think too much about Boss Lei's thoughts.

In fact, he sometimes thinks about whether to make a God of Gamblers-type movie. It's just not settled yet!

The shareholders' banquet was quite successful, but it was only superficially so. Judging from the fact that the Wei family can be the main host, it is obvious that the Wei family has a great influence in Singapore.

Just when the banquet was over, He Zilong decided to go outside to breathe.

"Hello Mr. He, President Wei has asked you to go to the back room to discuss something, and please appreciate your face......" A man in a suit and leather shoes came to He Zilong's side, saluted him politely, and said.

The so-called President Wei is actually Wei Yuyun's father at the table on the rostrum just now.

He Zilong looked at Wei Yuyun, who frowned, but quickly nodded to He Zilong. After seeing the hint, He Zilong nodded to the man in a suit and leather shoes: "Okay, I'm just free, you lead the way in front......"

Seeing that He Zilong agreed, the man in the suit and leather shoes smiled even more respectfully, and after a gesture of please, he began to lead the way in front.
