I carefully looked at the man in front of me, Yang Wei's uncle, the head of the Yang family, and the head of the "Shamrock" family.

His age, I remember when I came to check the information, he should be forty-six years old, but he looks much younger than he really is. His skin was very fair, even a little delicate, and his voice was very calm and tepid. His appearance should be considered handsome, and a little bit of Yang Wei's silhouette can be faintly seen, after all, he and Yang Wei are close relatives. But obviously, his appearance is not too sè, only average.

But what makes people feel strange is that he just sat on the sofa, his body was even a little lazy, but there was an indescribable, heavy, soft momentum all over his body! And this momentum is so calm and natural, but there is no half aggression.

Well...... That's right, the sea!

He is like when the sea is calm, it seems soft and calm, and that is because his momentum is as wide as the sea, and it is bottomless!

He's smiling at me. When he laughs, it will make people feel like a chūn wind, and it seems that he does not have the majestic temperament of a big family at the helm, and even makes people feel very close. But if you look for yourself, you will find that his eyes are very special! Because although his face was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes.

No, not just when he laughed, just now. In the banquet outside, when he gave his speech, when he spoke on the stage, he had to admit that he was indeed very personable. But whether it's when he smiles, sighs, or when he stirs people up with those jīng words full of divine words...... He always struck me with a strange smell of all these emotions......

Well, now that I'm getting closer to him, I'm realizing what the hell is wrong with my feelings.

His eyes!

Whether he was laughing, sighing, or excited...... His eyes, the eyes in them, were always calm. No mood swings!

I've seen many, many powerful people. The earliest and Brother Huan...... When Ye Huan was together, he gave me the impression that he was like an amiable elder. A father and brother who appreciates you and is kind to you, Ye Huan's eyes are also so peaceful, but they will also show a little fierceness from time to time. And the eighth master. The eighth master's eyes are like ancient wells, very deep and deep, so deep that it is difficult for you to guess his thoughts. A lot of the time. You've tried your best to figure it out, but in the end, you'll find that in fact, the intention of the eighth master is far deeper than you think.

As for Sorin, he is a standard Western leader, full of power and majesty, but not lacking in cunning, sophisticated, and a bit of hypocrisy. At the same time, it also has a bit of the stereotype of Western gentleman.

And this Mr. Yang, his eyes ...... I can only describe it as "the sea".

It's not that you can't guess him, but ...... You don't even have to guess. Because he will show you his emotions...... It's just that under this superficial emotion, only he knows what is hidden.

In the face of such a person, in the face of such a helmsman who controls a big family that is well-known in the United States, in the face of such a person who controls hundreds of millions of assets and countless invisible and intangible powers...... Frankly, I suddenly had a feeling of strangeness for the first time since my debut!

In front of such a person, I actually feel that I am ...... It's small!

This feeling undoubtedly made me very depressed, and at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Sit down, young man." He looked at me, casually, and pointed up to the couch in front of him.

I took a deep breath and walked over to him, nodding to him before sitting down.

"Do you like this place?" He didn't seem to be in a hurry to talk to me about business, but spoke in a casual, chatty tone...... This kind of conversation technique is actually not very clever, but in the past, when I met people talking to me in this way, they would always feel that the other party was pretending, and I would feel that the other party was actually going around a bend with me, and I would sneer in my heart, because I knew that the other party would definitely be forced to cut to the chase sooner or later.

But in the face of this Mr. Yang, he gave me an illusion...... It was as if we were really just smoking cigars and chatting in a small lounge.

"Hmm...... The place is nice. I replied cautiously.

"Take it easy, young man." Yang Wei's uncle casually flicked the cigarette ash on the cigar: "This is my private lounge, and every piece of furniture in this room is hand-selected...... Well, I have this habit that in each of my hotels, I will leave a private lounge of my own, and everything in it, I have to choose it by hand, without going through other people's hands at all. It's actually very beneficial, you know? ”

"Understood." I thought about it sideways and replied.

"Do you really understand?" He smiled, but still, there was no smile in his eyes, even though he smiled so easily and naturally.

"Really understood." I nodded and added, "Nothing here is hand-picked and arranged by yourself." Then you know every detail of this room, as if you are completely in your own territory and territory. In such a place where you are extremely familiar, when you invite guests in for negotiation, you are in a place that you are completely familiar with, and naturally, you will be completely relaxed and completely occupy the 'location'. More and more free...... Although this advantage is not obvious, in some important negotiations, even the slightest and invisible advantage can play an unexpected role. ”

I finished in one breath as I carefully watched his eyes, trying to see his mood swings in his eyes. Because I'm confident, I guessed right!

However, I was disappointed, and there was still no fluctuation in his eyes. At the same time, he smiled: "Well, that's a good point. You're very jīng ming. But then, he shook his head: "Although it is good, it does not say what is in my mind." ”

Didn't say right?

I was stunned, I was confident that I should have said it right!

Yang Wei's uncle sighed softly: "Actually, I arrange every room, just because I hope I can be as comfortable as possible. Since it is your own place, you must always arrange it by yourself, so that it will make people more comfortable. You see, my reason is actually very simple, just to make myself comfortable, but in your ...... Well, there are still many outsiders who think too much. He took a slow puff on his cigar: "This is the case with many things in the world, often the people in the authorities are actually very simple, but others are always used to thinking about a very simple thing and becoming more and more complicated." ”

Seeing that I was a little cramped, he smiled: "Oh, I'm sorry, maybe I'm talking too much." But I now at least understand why I admire you so much. You and she are the same kind of people, you are both smart and young...... But you and young people like Weiwei have the same problem, that is, they think too much in their heads. ”

I took a deep breath, smiled, and said sincerely, "Mr. Yang, what you said is very right. ”

Yang Wei's uncle shrugged his shoulders, and then suddenly said, "Oh, look at me, I almost forgot, this is simply unreasonable." He laughed and said, "You see, I already know that your name is Chen Yang, you are twenty-five years old, and now you control a medium-sized company called 'Huaxing', and you have actually controlled the entire underground power in Vancouver. I know you a lot, but I forgot to introduce myself...... Well, I am Yang Wei's uncle, Yang Wei is my brother's daughter, but unfortunately her father has been dead for many years. You are a friend of Weiwei, from this point of view, you may be able to be like her, call me uncel, of course, I think you should not call me that, because your current status does not only represent you personally, I don't think I have that status, I can make the number one person in the North American circle call me uncel, so, you can call me Mr. Yang Er, remember, not Mr. Yang, because I am in the second line at home, for friends who are also Chinese with me, they usually call me Mr. Yang Er. ”

"Yes, Mr. Yang Er." I shouted politely.

"All right, young man, you're too nervous and too cramped." He waved his hand slightly, then gestured with his chin to a wooden box on the table with stored cigars: "Got one?" ”

"Hmm...... No need. "I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart: in front of this person, if it is not necessary, it is better not to pretend, say anything, try to be as honest as possible, maybe the best effect will be achieved. So I turned down his invitation: "I don't like cigars, I prefer regular cigarettes to the average, and I only smoke domestic flue-cured cigarettes." ”

I took out my own cigarette: "Is that okay?" ”

He made a gesture of pity.

As soon as I lit a cigarette, Mr. Yang Er opened his mouth with a sentence that almost made me unable to sit still: "Oh, let me ask, the young lady who came to the banquet with you tonight, she is your good friend?" ”

My face immediately became a little ugly, and I quickly said, "Hmm...... I know some of her actions just now are a little ......."

"No, no, no, no......" Mr. Yang Er shook his head and interrupted me with a smile: "No, no, I didn't ask that, and I won't pursue that kiss." I'm a very strange father, and I try not to interfere with everything about my children. What's more, this is America, this is Las Vegas. Not to mention two girls kissing, even if it is a bear and an owl kissing, no one will be surprised. I just want to know, is that beautiful young girl your best friend? ”

"Yes." I let go of my worries, but I was even more surprised: "Is there a problem?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, she's supposed to be Mr. Qiao's daughter of China, right?" Mr. Yang Er smiled: "I remember that I seem to have seen her once, but she shouldn't remember me." ”

I was stunned for a moment, then relieved. Since Qiaoqiao's father knows Li Wenjing's parents, it is not surprising that he knows Mr. Yang Er, considering Qiaoqiao's father's status and wealth.

We chatted casually for a while, and he asked me how Yang Wei and I met, and he smiled and invited me to try my luck at the newly opened casino, and even talked to me about some hobbies of tobacco and tea. But there wasn't a word about our business.

What strikes me even more weird is ...... I could clearly feel that he wasn't going around the bush...... He is so natural, too calm, he is simply natural, and there is not the slightest trace of performance on his body!

"Mr. Yang Er." Finally. I couldn't help but speak first: "I think you must know, I came to Las Vegas this time for a business, and I don't know if I can have some opportunities to cooperate with your family." ”

"Oh. You're talking about your money that needs to be circulated in my casino. Mr. Yang Er smiled: "So, Chen Yang, tell me, how much money do you need to circulate every year?" ”

"Now it looks like it's about $100 million a year." I thought for a moment: "Of course, this number may increase gradually. ”

"$100 million." Mr. Yang Er smiled, he casually put the cigar in his hand on the ashtray, then sat up and picked up the red wine on the table. He poured himself a little and looked at me again: "Drink a little?" ”

"Okay." I nodded.

He finished pouring his wine and took his glass. took a sip first, and then smiled: "I don't want to hide it from you, you make me very embarrassed." That's why I didn't meet you at the banquet right away after thinking about it today. ”

I didn't speak, just waiting for his next step.

"Money laundering is a business. And it's no secret. Mr. Yang Er seemed to be pondering: "But there are some potential risks in this kind of business...... The biggest key to this kind of business is two words: trust. He seemed to smile: "Traditionally, I wouldn't let a sum of money into my casino from a source I can't trust." This is to ensure safety and avoid risks. ”

"I understand." I sighed. Holding a wine glass, he took a big sip.

"At the same time, the commission I take is not cheap." He said lightly: "I believe that it is not easy for you to get the money. Then, if your funds are only circulated in my casino, the commission I will take may make you feel very distressed. But I'm not going to lower my prices. Although you are Yang Wei's friend, personal friendship and business are completely different things. ”

Look at my frowning slightly. Mr. Yang Er smiled again: "However, after talking to you for a while today, I like you very much, you are a good young man, I think if we have more contact in the future, maybe we can become friends...... But I also want to tell you that even my friends are not going to do business with them, and everything is very clear in my mind. I like simple things...... The simpler the better, but if you confuse the two things, the simple things will also become complicated...... I don't like that. ”

"So, you're refusing, aren't you?" I said slowly, already thinking of giving up, and I was even ready to get up and say goodbye.

"No, that's not what I meant." Mr. Yang Er smiled again: "Look, I just want to tell you that I will not treat you favorably because of personal friendship, so when we talk about business, it is best to only talk within the scope of business." Got it? He looked at me, "If I had turned you down, I wouldn't have invited you here today, I think your time and mine are equally valuable, aren't they?" ”

"So what do you mean?" I leaned back on the couch.

"It's very simple, it's the terms of exchange." Mr. Yang Er smiled: "For me, I don't care about the commission I can earn for helping you launder this money...... I'm sorry, my words may not sound good, but with a $100 million a year business and such a low reporting rate, I don't need to waste too many resources on it, do I? Feel free, I mean, unless I can get some other benefit from this business...... Well, some other. ”

He seemed to take a casual sip of his wine: "I heard that you own a small stake in Mr. Sorin's group?" ”

My heart moved...... Could it be that he is also interested in this?

But I immediately shook my head: "I'm sorry, if you are interested in this, I can only regret to tell you that I can't give up this equity!" ”

If I give up my stake, I will lose Thorin as an ally. Without Thorin as an ally, I would not be able to fully control the underworld in Vancouver. Unable to control the underworld in Vancouver, I was disqualified from bargaining with those smugglers...... I'm still a fart!

I refused bluntly, Mr. Yang Er didn't have a surprised expression, just an "oh", and then he thought about it and said, "Okay, then I put forward another condition, this is my lowest price, if I can't accept this offer, then our cooperation can only be canceled." ”

"Please."

"Your Huaxing Company." He smiled: "Do you see this new casino below me?" I'll give you one percent of the shares in exchange for fifteen percent of your Huaxing company. If we can make a deal, then your money flow problem is not a problem. Your funds can be transferred from the casino, and ...... It is also possible to save a commission on money laundering. ”

Looking at his smiling face, I suddenly had a bit of an unfathomable feeling in my heart!

Black! Absolutely black!

My Huaxing company's net profit now a year is 100 million US dollars! He's going to take 15 percent of the shares, which means I'm going to give him 15 million dollars a year!

To be honest, if he just laundered money for me, the commission I would pay him would be about 15 million, because of the rules of the road, the commission for money laundering is about 1/2%.

In this way, although he said that he did not want to launder the commission...... But you can still get fifteen million a year! It's just that this money has nominally changed from a commission to a share dividend!

At the same time, it is equivalent to taking 15% of the shares of our company!!

In the end, not only did he not take a penny, but he also dug up part of the ownership of my company!

Of course, the current Huaxing Company is not worth much, the entire Huaxing Company is just an empty shell, there is not much market value, and the 15% of the shares he took away do not seem to be worth much...... But......

I have long regarded Huaxing as the beginning of my career! Although it is not worth much money now, I am confident that with my development, it will become a very profitable and very profitable company!

Isn't it? If I own the whole of Vancouver, I have the largest port on the west coast of Canada! It is equivalent to controlling most of the smuggling business on the west coast of Canada!! Huaxing Company is still only making money by "collecting protection fees", but in the near future, it will develop and grow!

Fifteen percent may seem like nothing now, but in the future, ...... But it's hard to say!

A company that secretly controls the smuggling business across the West Coast of Canada...... Will it be worthless in the future?? I'm afraid idiots understand this question!

Mr. Yang Er must have taken a fancy to this, so he will propose an exchange on this condition!

I sighed: "Your appetite is too great...... I shook my head again and again, looked at him, and said sincerely: "This company is not exactly mine, I only own seventy percent!" The remaining 30 percent is in Vancouver...... Well, shareholders. If I were to give up 15 percent at a time, that number would be unacceptable to me. ”

Mr. Yang Er interrupted me: "Don't forget, young man, you can get one percent of the shares in one of my casinos!" And this one percent is completely yours. He smiled happily: "Although this casino downstairs has just opened, you know, this casino will form a certain scale in a short period of time, and it will ...... It will be very profitable, although you only have one percent of the shares, but the annual profit dividend is not a small number, this number is enough to make up for the loss of your shares. ”

There is some truth to it. Casinos in Las Vegas, of course, are profitable! Moreover, I don't know how many rich people have thought of how many ways to enter this market, and I am now entering this market at once...... Although it only owns one percent of the shares of one casino...... It seems pitiful, but it's not an opportunity.
