Koto Province was quiet in the middle of the night.

The bustling city is like a sleeping dragon, and some wide roads are sparsely trafficked and slightly depressed.

On the shore of a lake in the provincial capital, there is a row of magnificent villa buildings, which are brightly lit, giving Jiangdong a different taste in the middle of the night.

As a native of Jiangdong, you must know the ownership of this lakeside villa, which is called Changjia Lakeside, as the name suggests, it is the base of Changjia, the head snake in Jiangdong Province.

"Chang Baishan, what are you going to do when you gather everyone together at night?"

More than a dozen people gathered in a villa, all of them were bigwigs with a high status in the Chang family, and if they pulled one out and threw it on the street, it would cause a sensation in the provincial capital.

Chang Baishan looked around, and said with a smug smile on his face: "Brothers, brothers and sisters, I'm really embarrassed to shout at night, I have something important to announce, which will play a vital role in the next development of our Chang family." ”

Chang Baishan said mysteriously, those men and women showed impatient looks on their faces, and a man in a white Tang costume asked: "Baishan, you have something to say, it's not too early, everyone has to go back to rest after that." ”

The man who interrogated was named Chang Zhihui, the eldest brother in the room, and the eldest son of Chang He, the legendary old man of the Chang family.

"Big brother, don't worry! The next thing I want to talk about is very important, and I also invited my father to come over, and I will talk about it when his old man arrives." Chang Baishan smiled.

The expressions of more than a dozen people in the room changed greatly, they were all brothers and sisters of the same generation, and they didn't have too much restraint in speaking, but if the old man was invited over, then tonight's family meeting would change its nature.

"Fourth brother! It's one o'clock in the morning, can't you wait for tomorrow to talk about it? Dad is getting older, and his body has become more and more sick in the past few years, fourth brother, aren't you tossing him to be an old man? A young man in a straight suit said, this is the tenth elder of the Chang family, often thunderstorms.

"Tenth brother, what you said is not right, I didn't toss our father, the main thing is that this happened too suddenly, I rushed back as soon as I got the news, and I haven't even eaten dinner until now, I'm also worried about the family." Chang Baishan said seriously.

More than a dozen people in the room discussed, and it was extremely noisy, if this scene was seen by the people of Jiangdong Province, it would definitely be shocking, because everyone present was a very important person in Jiangdong, and he controlled the real power in different fields.

This is the huge Jiangdong Chang family, the legendary old man Chang He has three wives and four concubines by his side, and has eight sons and five daughters, and now these thirteen brothers and sisters are gathered together, each with a ghost in his heart.

After arguing for more than ten minutes, a little old man in a black practice uniform walked into the room, and everyone immediately stopped talking, and the originally noisy living room suddenly became silent.

This little old man is not the protagonist, and there is an old man in a red Tang costume behind him, the old man is on crutches and walks very slowly, but everyone in Changbai Mountain has already stood in two rows inside the door to greet him, and he did not show irritability and dissatisfaction at all because of the old man's slow movements.

"Dad, do you need to help you?"

"Dad, it's forty-nine days, you have to wear more clothes when you go out at night

Order some clothes. ”

"Dad, I'll make you a cup of big red robes, and you can warm up. ”

More than a dozen people rushed forward to ask for warmth, which shows that although this old man of the Chang family is old, his status is unshakable.

Chang He did not give a warm reaction to these positive children, he walked into the living room step by step unhurriedly, and finally sat down on the south seat of the sofa, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be busy, if you are really filial, you won't call me over at night." ”

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and stood straight on the side of the sofa in two rows.

The eldest Chang Zhihui opened his mouth and said: "Dad, tonight is the fourth brother who has summoned everyone here, and just now we persuaded him to hold a family meeting tomorrow morning, but the fourth brother did not listen to the persuasion." ”

This was clearly adding fuel to the fire, and the other men and women all cast gloating glances at Chang Baishan.

Chang Baishan seemed calm and calm, and said to the old man with a smile: "Dad! The big night has disturbed your sweet dreams, the child is not filial, and I ask Dad to calm his anger." ”

Chang Hezai glanced at Chang Baishan lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, now that everyone is here, say anything quickly." ”

Chang Baishan nodded, then cleared his throat and pretended to say: "Dad, brothers and sisters, I have talked about a big business tonight, which will have a huge effect on the consolidation and development of our Chang family's business empire in the future. ”

Everyone had different expressions, but Chang He maintained that cold demeanor.

"Fourth brother, our Chang family has been developing for a hundred years, and we haven't done any big business, don't fool people here, hurry up and talk about the specific situation. "The boss is often getting a little impatient.

The cold glow in Chang Baishan's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile on his face: "Tonight, a Kuo Shao of the Feng family in the capital came to me and proposed to me to build a Jiangdong Casino project, and the Kuo Shao surnamed Feng will spend one billion yuan in the early stage to build the infrastructure of the Casino, according to his meaning, it is to build a small Las Vegas in Jiangdong." ”

"When the foundation project is over, Kuo Shao, surnamed Feng, will bring a large number of rich gamblers from the capital and abroad, and our Chang family only needs to send some people to watch the field and maintain law and order, and then we will be able to extract a large amount of commissions. ”

"I have already thought about it, in the early stage, I will cooperate with Kuo Shao surnamed Feng, and after two or three years of the smooth operation of the big casino, we will grasp the source of customers in the capital and abroad into our own hands, and at that time, we will kick the Feng family away and control the operation of the big casino by ourselves. ”

Changbai Mountain is really not a good stubble, and everything has already been planned.

The eyes of everyone in the house flashed with essence, and they were all disciples of the Chang family, and they knew very well the huge profits of the gambling house, and it was really a good project to build a small Las Vegas in Jiangdong Province.

"What is the name of the Feng family master you are talking about? Have you checked your identity?" Chang He opened his mouth, and it could be seen from his performance of taking the initiative to ask that he was somewhat interested in the project of Jiangdong Grand Casino.

Chang Baishan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said unhurriedly: "Dad, you can rest assured that I will do things, I have already checked the Da Shao surnamed Feng, his identity is reliable, and he has also caught his handle, if he dares to play yin, I will definitely not spare him." ”

Chang He nodded, then looked at the crowd on both sides: "What do you think?"

A dozen people, you look at me, I'll take a look

When the atmosphere was quiet for more than ten seconds, the boss Chang Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, and took the lead in standing up and saying: "Dad, there are many casinos in Jiangdong, all of which are in the hands of our Chang family, and although the annual profits are high, they are still more than ten times worse than those of other important industries......

"And now there has been a rumor in the capital, a wave of cleaning operations has begun, and even the old man of the Gong Ming family, Gong Ming Changsheng, has been arrested, if he vigorously builds a casino city on the cusp of this storm, I am afraid that some red-eyed people will take our Chang family next." ”

There is some truth in Chang Zhihui's words, and many people nod their heads in agreement.

A cold color flashed in Chang Baishan's eyes, but in the next second, he returned to his smile and said: "Big brother's concerns are also right, but there is a reason, big brother is afraid to forget, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to take risks, this is a society that starves to death and supports the cowardly, if everyone is as timid as the big brother, how can the Chang family develop and continue?"

"Hmph! Chang Baishan, don't distort my meaning, I'm not timid, but take into account the overall situation, otherwise if I am not careful, the huge family business that our ancestors have worked hard for generations will be destroyed in the hands of our generation. ”

"Fourth brother, what the eldest brother said makes sense, now that our family has a big business, we pay more attention to steady progress than the spirit of adventure. "Lao Shichang Thunderstorm stood on the side of the eldest brother.

Chang Zhihui added: "Besides, if you want to build Jiangdong into a small Las Vegas, this is a huge project, with that human and financial resources, it is better to spend on the layout of several other important industries, and gradually whitewash to the world is the next way for Changjia to develop." ”

I have to say that Chang Zhihui's vision is still very high, even if the Chang family can still be the king and hegemon in Jiangdong now, but the current situation in China is changing, if the Chang family does not wash a little white, maybe it will change in three or five years.

"I still think that the big casino project can be tried, now is an era of only looking at money, what officials can't buy if they have money? Who can't assassinate anyone? As long as our Chang family makes enough money, we can use money to settle everything when the time comes. ”

Chang Baishan seemed to have gotten into the eyes of money, but everyone present knew that he was eager to show himself in order to prepare for the election of the new head of the hall in a year.

It turns out that the Chang family will hold an election every ten years, and this speaker represents the highest power of the Chang family, which is simply the same as the status of the head of the family in the capital.

The current Chang family talker is still Chang He, but he is old, and he declared in advance that he is not willing to continue the position of the speaker, so a year later, the speaker election fell to Chang Baishan's group of descendants, in order to be elected as the new Chang family speaker, these brothers and sisters have been prepared a few years ago, desperately working for the Chang family to express themselves.

"Since everyone disagrees, then vote according to the rules handed down by the ancestors of the Chang family. Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, Chang He opened his mouth lightly.

Chang Baishan and Chang Zhihui glanced at each other, and there was some unhappiness written on their faces, which shows that the variables of voting and election are very large, and neither of them is sure in their hearts.

"Except for Chang Baishan himself, there are twelve of your peers in this house, each of whom can only vote once, and can abstain. ”

"Now, agree to build a raised hand in Jiangdong Casino. Chang He said.
