Chapter Ninety-Seven: Gambling = Opening of the Casino
On New Year's Day in 1962, the gambling = game of Macau Galaxy Entertainment Company in Aidu Hotel opened as scheduled, and Li Huahu, as the chairman and general manager of the company, personally presided over a grand ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Li Hualong knew that investing in Macau's gambling industry would definitely make money if it was operated well, but he didn't attach much importance to this investment project and didn't even want to participate in the management.
Li Huahu repeatedly invited Li Hualong to participate in the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony of the gambling = game, but Li Hualong refused.
Li Hualong and Li Huahu said that he would not participate in the board of directors of Galaxy Entertainment Company without special circumstances, and that his voting rights would be given to Li Huahu and that Li Huahu would have full authority to represent his interests in the company.
Li Huahu vaguely guessed that Li Hualong didn't want to tarnish his reputation because of investment in gambling = field, he didn't make this matter clear, and he didn't think that Li Hualong was not interesting enough, he thought about it carefully, and felt that this was also very good, if Li Hualong participated in the operation of Galaxy Entertainment Company, it would not be a good thing for him, and he didn't want to be subject to too many constraints when operating gambling = game.
At the beginning of the opening of the first gambling = game of Galaxy Entertainment Company, Galaxy Entertainment was committed to innovation and change, determined to operate, in addition to introducing foreign advanced management experience, but also changing the tricks in the way of playing, so that Macau's ** industry became more and more diversified.
Li Huahu has a lot of ideas for operating gambling = the game, he is in line with the idea that small wealth does not come out, big money does not come in, with his three-inch incorruptible color, the shareholders of Galaxy Entertainment Company have agreed to his proposal, that is, the first gambling = the first ten days of the opening of the game, take out 5,000 patacas of chips every day, and give them to gamblers for free.
If gamblers want to get free chips, they need to bet once first, no capital is required, and if they win, they can get chips, up to 200 patacas of chips, and the least can only get 1 patacas.
In the gambling = casinos operated by Galaxy Entertainment, the minimum chip denomination is MOP.
Gambling = free chips are given away from the field, which attracts many people to enter the gambling = field for free.
On the first day of opening, the gambling = field began to make a profit, which is an exciting good news for Li Huahu, who is operating the gambling = market for the first time.
On the morning of the opening of the gambling = market, Li Hualong had just eaten breakfast when he received a call from Li Huahu.
"Big brother, I have good news for you, yesterday, gambling = making money. Guess what, how much money you make? ”
"There's nothing to guess about, hiring employees, renting space, and other expenses, and the cost of a day is not easy to calculate." Li Hualong smiled, "Don't be too excited, if you want to run a good gambling = game, you have to have the mentality of fighting a protracted war." ”
"You can pour cold water on me." Li Huahu said with a bright smile.
"It's good that someone is willing to throw cold water on you." Li Hualong is colorful.
"Got it, you're doing it for my good." Li Huahu smiled, "I know you don't want to care about the gambling = game, so I won't talk about it, you just wait for the dividends." ”
"What time did you sleep last night? I woke up so early today. Li Hualong asked casually.
"I didn't go to bed until 12 p.m., probably too excited." Li Huahu smiled and said, "Are your parents okay?" ”
"Okay."
"Oh...... I have something here, so I'll stop talking about it for now, and I'll call you when I'm free. ”
"Bye-bye!"
For more than a week, Li Huahu stayed in Macau, busy with his career.
On the evening of January 12, after Li Huawen got off work, he came to Li Hualong's house for dinner.
Seeing Li Huahu, who had not been seen for many days, Li Huawen teased: "Fourth brother, you have a good complexion, your face is radiant, and becoming a gambling tycoon is different!" He and Li Huahu came to Li Hualong's house for dinner.
Li Huahu smiled bitterly: "Big brother, don't be sarcastic about me, just now, Abba gave me a criticism meeting!" ”
"Criticism?" Li Huawen smiled, "Do you also know that the criticism will be held?" ”
"I don't know, it's not like I don't read the newspaper. You used to engage in politics = governance, and this set is very familiar. ”
"I have never been engaged in politics = governance, and when I joined the army, I always regarded myself as a pure soldier." Li Huawen restrained his smile and sighed lightly.
"Big brother, what are you sighing for?" Li Huahu smiled, "It's been a few years, there's no need to think about those bad things anymore." ”
"That's right, it's all some bad things, don't think about it." Li Huawen smiled bitterly, paused, and changed the topic, "By the way, I heard your third brother say, gambling = the game is running well, you are becoming more and more capable!" ”
"What kind of skill is what I do, compared to you, it's far behind." Li Huahu said modestly.
"Don't compare ...... with me," Li Huawen said, looking at Li Hualong, "Our family is still your third brother, and he has the ability." ”
"You guys said it well, why did you get the topic on me?!" Li Hualong smiled brightly, "I don't think anyone will make money, who has the greatest ability." ”
"I didn't say anything about making money." Li Huawen smiled, "You can write novels, you can write scripts, and you can also write songs...... Isn't that a big deal? ”
"It's a big job." Li Yisong interjected with a smile.
"Don't talk about that." Li Hualong changed the topic and said, "Big brother, you live here tonight, and a few of us have a few more drinks tonight." ”
"Okay. Drinking Moutai tonight, I found that you are very right, Moutai that has been put for a few years, tastes really better. ”
"Usually drink less alcohol, drunk hurts your body." Li Yisong reminded.
"Abba, don't worry, usually when I eat at home, I don't drink alcohol when there are no guests, so when I get together, I drink a few glasses, and I rarely get drunk." Li Huawen smiled heartily, "Tonight, can I get drunk?" ”
"It's better not to get drunk, just drink to your heart's content." Li Yisong smiled and said, "I'm going to have a good time tonight." ”
That night, Li Yisong and his three sons had a good time, and the family helped them into the bedroom.
When he woke up, Li Hualong found himself sleeping in Chen Sisi's bedroom.
"I'm awake." Chen Sisi walked out of the bathroom and happened to see Li Hualong climb out of bed.
"I'm sorry I was arguing with you last night." Li Hualong said apologetically.
"No, your wine is good, and you fell asleep when you went to bed." Chen Sisi smiled.
Li Hualong got out of bed, opened his arms, hugged Chen Sisi in his arms, and stared at each other with a smile.
"What's the matter, you still want to eat me?" Chen Sisi said angrily, "I can carry your child in my belly." ”
"If I don't eat you, let's kiss it." Li Hualong smiled and kissed Chen Sisi on the forehead, "Guess what I dreamed about last night?" ”
"It's definitely not good." Chen Sisi pursed her lips and smiled.
"I really dreamed of good things, I dreamed that our son Sheng Ke had grown up and married a virtuous wife, and I also dreamed that Sheng Ke had added a pair of twin grandsons to our old Li family. The appearance of our little grandson is very good-looking. ”
"Really?" Chen Sisi nodded when he saw Li Hualong, and said with a smile, "Do you remember what your future daughter-in-law looks like?" ”
"Nope."
"Why didn't you remember?" Chen Sisi joked, "If you remember it, then draw it down, and find someone according to ......the picture in the future."
"Huh!" Li Hualong laughed, "Sheng Ke is only a few years old, you are thinking about finding a daughter-in-law for him?" ”
"You were the one who stirred up the topic." Chen Sisi said and pushed Li Hualong away, "You go wash up, go downstairs early for breakfast." ”
"Okay, you wait for me a moment." Li Hualong walked quickly to the bathroom.
