Chapter 975: The Battle for Gambling Cards (9)

……

There is no doubt that the gambling industry makes money, otherwise there would not be so many people who are eager to win the three gambling cards in Macao! It is precisely because he understands the huge profits of the gambling industry that Liu Dong will discuss with He Chaoqiong and pull a few more people in to share the risks together! Therefore, Zhou Bin, Li Yuncong, Li Zekai, and Lu Mingyuan will join in!

With them plus Liu Dong and He Chaoqiong, the number of people involved is enough, and the backgrounds of several people can resist the greedy eyes from all directions, and no one wants to dilute their shares anymore, so even if Lu Hongjun is Lu Mingyuan's uncle, it is impossible for everyone to let him interfere again!

Perhaps seeing the strangeness on everyone's faces, in the following conversation, Lu Hongjun did not talk about gambling cards and casino-related things.

After everyone saw off Lu Hongjun, who had just gotten off the plane and needed to rest, Li Yuncong couldn't help but say, "Old Lu, what's the matter? Why does your fourth uncle want to meddle in our casino?"

Looking at everyone's dissatisfied looks, Lu Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "I didn't know that my fourth uncle actually had such an idea! And I only knew that he was coming to Hong Kong after receiving his call!"

Zhou Bin frowned, "Several of us have already signed a cooperation agreement, it is impossible to let outsiders interfere in again! And your fourth uncle ......!"

Zhou Bin was stunned, but Lu Mingyuan knew what he was going to say next, because his fourth uncle's reputation in the business world was indeed not very good, which was almost a well-known thing in the mainland business circle. If it weren't for the power of the Lu family. How many times has Lu Hongjun's real estate company closed down a long time ago!

"Alright. Just like we said before, the shareholders of Emperor Entertainment City will be the eight of us in the future, and no one will let him join in the future!" Zhou Bin said solemnly.

"Of course!"

"No problem!"

Everyone nodded, and no one wanted to share the fruits of victory when they were close to success.

Seeing this, Liu Dong, who was sitting on the side, was also relieved, now he has realized the benefits of pulling Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong in, at least with them, he will not resist those greedy eyes alone. Although I made a lot less money, I also felt a lot less stress.

And he also believes that Lu Hongjun is only the first one who wants to meddle in the profits of the gambling industry, but it will never be the last!

After Lu Hongjun left, the few people chatted for a while, and it was time for dinner, and after dinner, it was almost time to return to Macao.

Not surprisingly, this time the army also joined the ranks!

Because the other party is also an elder, although Zhou Bin, Li Yuncong, including Liu Dong, are somewhat unhappy in their hearts. But nothing was said either.

Coming back to the casino hall of the Hotel Lisboa, the surroundings are much more lively than during the day. The eyes are full of beautiful ladies and women in suits and leather shoes and swaying in costumes!

What's more, tonight's gambling and card finals are obviously extraordinary, and more than half of the billionaires in Hong Kong and Macao have arrived!

Watching Li Zekai go to talk to his father, Liu Dong and the others also found a seat next to him and sat down.

After a while, He Chaoqiong had already walked towards everyone with a middle-aged man in a black suit with some stiff lines on his face.

Seeing this person, Liu Dong and Zhou Bin glanced at each other, and a hint of understanding flashed in their eyes at the same time.

And He Chaoqiong was obviously stunned when she saw Lu Hongjun in the crowd, but she quickly covered it up when she was skillful!

"I don't know who this gentleman is?"

"Sister Qiong, let me introduce you, this is my fourth uncle, who just arrived in Hong Kong this afternoon!" Lu Mingyuan immediately stood up and introduced.

Regardless of whether Lu Hongjun intends to meddle in the Emperor Entertainment City, it is really difficult to say anything about Lu Mingyuan, who is a junior, is caught in the middle. And you have to keep the respect of the juniors outside!

"Oh, hello Mr. Lu, I'm Pansy Ho, welcome to Macau!"

After suddenly understanding Lu Hongjun's identity, He Chaoqiong stepped forward to greet enthusiastically.

In her opinion, befriending these children of wealthy families with deep mainland backgrounds is really beneficial to her career!

"Miss He is polite, I also asked your name in the mainland, and when I saw it today, it was really a woman who didn't let her eyebrows!" Lu Hongjun complimented.

"Hehe, Mr. Lu has won the prize!"

After simply shaking hands with Lu Hongjun, He Chaoqiong pointed to the middle-aged man behind him, and then introduced to everyone: "This is Mr. Xiang Huaqiang, the chairman of Hong Kong China Star Group!"

"Sure enough, it's him!" Liu Dong and Zhou Bin said at the same time in their hearts.

Although they have not seen the true face of this Hong Kong underground tycoon, they have seen many photos of Xiang Huaqiang in newspapers and magazines, so they are not strangers!

"Xiang Huaqiang!" Li Yuncong blurted out in surprise.

He remembered that Liu Dong had told him that the gangsters who almost beat him up this morning were Xin Yi'an, who belonged to Xiang Huaqiang's men.

Obviously, Xiang Huaqiang had done his homework before coming over, so after He Chaoqiong's introduction, he had already stepped forward and said to Li Yuncong apologetically: "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, I'm really sorry! It was my people who offended you this morning because they were ignorant, and now I have punished them severely." I hope that Mr. and Mrs. Li will not remember the villains and spare them! Moreover, I have prepared some things, which should be an apology for Mr. Li and Mrs. Li!"

As he spoke, Xiang Huaqiang took an envelope from the entourage behind him and handed it to Li Yuncong with both hands!

Looking at Xiang Huaqiang, who was apologetic and honestly admitting his mistakes, Li Yuncong, who was angry in his heart, didn't know how to send it!

Generally, people who are big and irritable are shun donkeys, and Li Yuncong is obviously no exception!

"Actually, we didn't suffer anything in the morning, forget it, we forgive those guys!" Li Yuncong waved his hand.

Of course, according to his temperament, he naturally refused to suffer, especially the benefits of this kind of door-to-door delivery, so he took the envelope from Xiang Huaqiang's hand.

However, although Li Yuncong was very curious about what was in it, he couldn't open it in front of everyone, so he had to temporarily suppress the impulse in his heart.

But Liu Dong next to him used the relics to see the contents of the envelope clearly, "This Xiang Huaqiang is really generous, a cash check of 2 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Li for your magnanimity, and in order to show my sincerity, I would like to invite Mr. and Mrs. Li and all of you at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow morning.

After careful investigation, he knows the identities of Li Yuncong and Zhou Bin very well, and knows their energy even more, so he really wants to take this opportunity to get in touch with these red second generations and make a good relationship by the way.

Because it was not only about himself, Li Yuncong did not rashly agree, but looked at Zhou Bin! Among the people, he was the oldest and had the most experience. As for Lu Hongjun, Li Yuncong has never regarded him as a person all the way!

"Mr. Xiang's sincere invitation, we shouldn't have refused, but we have already booked a plane back to the capital early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid we can only dismiss Mr. Xiang's kindness, I'm really sorry!" After a little thought, Zhou Bin said apologetically.

Of course, this sentence is all a pretext, and the core reason is that Zhou Bin, who is in a wealthy family, does not want to have too much to do with the Xiang family, who controls the new Ngee An.

If it's just a small gang, it's okay, but the other party is the behind-the-scenes controller of a 100,000-strong gang, and he is registered in the State Council, Zhou Bin is never willing to interact with this kind of person too much, if there is any handle in the hands of the other party, it is definitely a wrong step and a wrong step!

More importantly, being involved in crime in China is tantamount to a crime, although the problem can be big or small, but it is easy to be attacked by political opponents, although Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong are not in politics, but both are political families.

No matter how much money they make outside, politics will always be the foundation of the Zhou and Li families, so Zhou Bin will never allow anything to damage the family's reputation.

As for the gambling industry, although it has a bad reputation, it is a legal business in Macao! And it will not be listed! Except for a few people, no one will know about the shareholding structure in it, and it is relatively secret! Therefore, Zhou Bin has fewer scruples.

"Okay, then when you come to Hong Kong next time, I'll make an East banquet for you!"

Although Xiang Huaqiang said it simply, several people still found the gloom and embarrassment in his eyes, although it quickly disappeared!

"Definitely!" Zhou Bin said politely.

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Looking at the back of Xiang Huaqiang turning to leave, Li Yuncong couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhou, have we already booked the ticket?"

"Bang!" After knocking her husband's head, Zhuang Wen couldn't help but say, "You elm head, can't you hear that Brother Zhou rejected Xiang Huaqiang's excuse just now?"

After suddenly realizing it, Li Yuncong couldn't help but hold his head and complained to Zhuang Wen: "Wife, don't hit me on the head in the future, it's very painful!

"Hmph, who told you not to use your brain!" Zhuang Wen snorted coldly.

Seeing this, everyone shook their heads, they had seen too much of the quarrel between the happy couple.

"By the way, look at what the guy surnamed Xiang gave!"

As he spoke, Li Yuncong opened the envelope in his hand with curiosity on his face.

Soon a cash check for 2 million from Standard Chartered Bank appeared in Li Yuncong's hand, looking at the series of zeros behind, Li Yuncong was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly said: "Ten million, one hundred thousand, one million, two million?"

"This surname is too generous, it's 2 million as soon as you make a move!" Zhuang Wen also said a little stumbling after seeing the numbers on the check.

Although the two of them account for 5% of the shares of Emperor Entertainment City, worth more than 100 million US dollars, most of this money is a loan from the Hanhua Bank that Liu Dong helped them apply, and Li Yuncong and his family invested less than 40 million Huaxia yuan, which can imagine how much 2 million Hong Kong dollars is in their hearts!

And this is 2002, and the Chinese currency has not depreciated......!
