Chapter 095: Gambling Boat
Zuo Chuchu thought of a way that did not need to go to Macau and could allow Ye Zhengzheng to gamble money - gambling on ships on the high seas.
Back then, the gambling king Ye Han, who was kicked out, was unwilling, but unfortunately there was only one gambling license in Macau, and he couldn't fight with Stanley Ho in Macau.
In 1988, after the gambling king Ye Han was defeated in the "carriage race" in Macau, he returned to Hong Kong to form the "Oriental Princess" to fight against the Macau gambling king Stanley Ho. He drove the gambling boat to the high seas to gamble, hooking away a large number of gamblers who originally wanted to go to Macau, Stanley Ho was angry and helpless.
Most importantly, Ye Han's behavior of forming a gambling boat has caused many Hong Kong people to be stunned. Gambling in Hong Kong is illegal, but you can go to the high seas to gamble on a gambling boat so that you don't violate Hong Kong's laws and regulations.
For a time, large and small gambling ships came out one after another, which had a great impact on the business of Macau casinos, and it grew like a snowball. In the end, Stanley Ho rented the boat to someone else and participated in disguise.
In 1989, the initiator Ye Han had only been in the industry for one year, and suddenly withdrew with a smile, watching others fight with Stanley Ho for him, he seemed very comfortable.
It wasn't until later that a gambling ship caught fire, and gamblers feared for their lives and abandoned the sea to land, and the gambling ship industry fell into a depression.
……
The gambling boat model has been operating until now, with hundreds of large and small gambling boats, using various tricks to attract customers. In the depression, you only need to pay a few hundred yuan for the ferry ticket, and the gambling side not only provides you with accommodation and free food, but also gives you an equal number of "mud codes" to let you have fun.
This is definitely a loss-making business, you spend the same amount here in Hong Kong, at least more than a thousand, and the gambling boat owner relies on this inverted means to attract customers.
But these benefits are slowly being curtailed lately, and this is determined by the market, as the number of gamblers coming to the boat increases, and the demand of the market increases.
In recent years, with the influx of mainlanders to buy real estate in Macau, the price of housing in Macau has risen, which eventually led to the high cost of hotels. It is precisely because of the increase in the cost of accommodation in Macao that the "gambling cost" of gamblers has increased, and mainland tourists and some Hong Kong people have begun to favor gambling boats.
At this point, Macau probably needs to review itself, and Macau's attractiveness seems to be very fragile.
Although Macau's Bo-Cai industry has benefited from the support of mainland high-rollers, it is vaguely ahead of Las Vegas. But Las Vegas is a city that has diversified, with a thriving entertainment and tourism industry in addition to gambling, making it the world's most popular honeymoon destination for newlyweds.
Without the Bo-Cai industry, Macau will decline overnight or even be reduced to ruins. And Las Vegas has lost its game, which is just a loss of vitality, and its government has other sources of income.
"Gambling boats?"
After Ye Zhengzheng heard Zuo Chuchu's method, his brows furrowed slightly.
Although he and his mother have traveled to Hong Kong many times, they have never been on a gambling boat, and neither he nor his mother have any interest in gambling.
However, when it comes to gambling boats, his mind immediately reminds him of "God of Gamblers" starring Zhou Boudoir, and the peak duel was staged on the high seas. and "The Gambler" starring Liu Deye and Zhou Xingxing also went to the high seas.
The reason why it was staged on the high seas may not be regarded as an accident in the plot, which is mixed with certain interests. Hong Kong's film industry needs the support of Hong Kong's wealthy businessmen, and the owners of these gambling boats also need publicity, and the two parties will inevitably reach some kind of agreement.
Or, one of the bosses who invested in the movie was the owner of a gambling boat company.
……
When he arrived at the parking lot, Zuo Chuchu unlocked the car key, Ye Zhengzheng looked at the front and was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look sideways at her. She also looked at Ye Zhengzheng, shrugged her shoulders, and showed a shallow smile on her face, and her whole person seemed to have become different.
I thought that Zuo Chuchu would be more low-key, but I didn't expect her to be in a red Ferrari, which was full of style.
"Your family is rich?" After getting into the car, Ye Zhengzheng asked directly.
"Have you heard of the Zuo family in Hong Kong?" Zuo Chuchu did not hide it.
In the past, it was possible not to disclose the family situation, but everyone has come here, and there is no reason to hide it anymore. She is indeed a rich girl, the daughter of the Zuo family in Hong Kong, although the Zuo family cannot be compared with the four major families in Hong Kong, but it can be regarded as a top family.
The business is not only in Hong Kong, but also throughout Southeast Asia, and recently won a major infrastructure project in Vietnam.
"Rich, isn't it?" Ye Zhengzheng has actually never heard of it.
Zuo Chuchu glanced at him sideways and said with a smile, "Don't get me wrong! My family is rich, but I am poor. Don't think that if you lose all your money on the gambling boat, I can help you! ”
"Sister Chu Chu, I have a lot of gambling money, and I will help Brother Political win a lot of money." The tiger girl took the initiative to ask for help, and her little face was very serious.
"Tiger girl, I'll take you to the gambling boat, you can't go to the gambling hall!" Zuo Chuchu immediately vetoed it.
"Huh? Why? The tiger girl looked surprised and puzzled.
"Because you can't gamble, you can't be like your gambling brother!" Zuo Chuchu explained.
"I don't gamble! I'm just playing cards for Brother Politic! "Tiger girls don't give up.
"I'll take you to play something else, it's definitely better than cards!" Zuo Chuchu coaxed.
……
Zuo Chuchu returned to his true colors and had the style of a young lady.
She took them to a private dining room, where she was rich and expensive, and she was comfortable in it. After enjoying the perfect food, he took the tiger girl to buy clothes, and then according to the tiger girl's request, he went to a playground to sit on the wooden horse.
Tiger Girl's energy is very strong, and she is riding the Ferris wheel again, but what makes people helpless. Before coming down, he said that he was tired and couldn't walk, Zuo Chuchu took the initiative to carry her, but he fell asleep on her back in a few seconds.
"Asleep?"
"Asleep!"
……
The two of them were walking on Xiao Suo's road, and the evening breeze was blowing in front of them, which was the beginning of the conversation.
"What's the matter with her face, fighting with her classmates?" Zuo Chuchu asked a question of concern.
"Yes, but there is no loss!" Ye Zhengzheng looked at the sleeping tiger girl, unscrewed the drink bottle and smiled.
"I was bullied by my classmates on the first day of school?" Zuo Chuchu frowned slightly.
"Don't look at the tiger girl, she has a lot of strength, and if she doesn't suffer a loss in a fight, she is not bullied." Ye Zhengzheng raised his head and drank the rest of the drink, and he was justifying the heroism of the tiger girl.
"Don't suffer a loss? I've been scratched in several places on my face, will you take care of the child?" Zuo Chuchu blamed.
Ye Zhengzheng threw the empty bottle into the garbage bin more than seven meters away, Zuo Chuchu saw it and wanted to say that he was littering, but the empty bottle fell into the garbage bin accurately in her sight, comparable to the NBA's shooting master.
