Omen is a very special place.

It is a city where Chinese and Western cultures blend, an international transportation hub, and a paradise for gamblers.

Its economy is dominated by manufacturing and service industries, and the service industry is the service industry, which is the first to refer to the service industry.

The gambling industry in this place has a long history, and it has only been about 400 years since the opening of the port of Omen, but the gaming industry has existed for 200 years.

In the late Qing Dynasty, people from all walks of life from the mainland often gathered here to spend a lot of money on the gambling table.

In 1847, the government of the time issued a decree declaring gambling legal. For a time, there were many gambling stalls in this place. At that time, most of the large and small gambling stalls were opened or controlled by the characters of the rivers and lakes, and the internal and external fires and bloodshed of the gambling stalls occurred from time to time, and this chaotic and disorderly pattern lasted until a historical task appeared, which changed slightly.

In October 1961, He Dana, who had just entered the year of confusion, won the gambling franchise at a price of only 17,000 yuan more than his competitors.

Later, with the opening of his first casino, he began a 40-year franchise, and Aomen gradually built a world-famous "Oriental Casino", becoming one of the three major casinos in the world.

This pattern lasted until 2001, when another drastic change took place.

In 2001, the local government decided to carry out a major operation on the gambling industry, which determines the lifeblood of the Austrian economy, that is, to divide the casino franchise, which has lasted for more than 70 years, into three companies, so that they can compete with each other for greater development, and then drive the economic development of the entire city.

On November 5 of the same year, the bidding process for gambling licenses was announced, and by the deadline for accepting bids on December 7, a total of 23 consortiums around the world submitted bids to the local gambling commission. But in the end, it was just three gambling cards.

He has dominated the city's gambling industry for nearly 40 years, and he has won a gambling card, which is not only expected by the industry, but also indisputable.

The second gambling card was won by Lu Yan's grandfather, Mr. Lu, who is known as the new gambling king, who cooperated with Anderson, a native of the United States, and became another giant crocodile legally licensed to operate the gambling industry after He Dana.

The last gambling card was obtained by Stephen, known as the gambling king on the west coast of the United States.

So far, Oriental Casino has been divided into three parts.

However, this pattern did not last long and changed again.

The reason is very simple, although Mr. Lu did not start as a gambling player like Dana Ho and belonged to a layman in the gaming industry, but his years of business experience made him quite assertive in gaming operations and supported innovation and reform, but the guy Adlin wanted to move the Las Vegas set to Aomen, and the two had a disagreement, and finally parted ways within a year.

The two are going to break up, but the gambling cards are jointly owned, so what should they do? It was only possible to apply to the local government to split the gambling license in two, and it was approved. Subsequently, the local government allowed each license holder to split their gambling cards once.

He Dana split his gambling cards to his daughter and a joint venture company, with half of the shares.

In addition, Stephen also spun off a gambling card and sold it to Hotana's son for nearly a billion dollars.

Since then, the three-legged dominance of the Oriental Casino has become a six-legged competition, but He Dana holds three of the six gambling cards, barely accounting for half of the country.

Yes, it is true to use the word reluctantly.

Although He Dana has three gambling cards, Mr. Lu already has the strength to be on an equal footing with him.

Where there are people, there will always be rivers and lakes.

The Oriental Gambling City, where the six heroes compete for hegemony, is prosperous and harmonious on the surface, but secretly it is turbulent and constantly fighting, and among them, the battle between the old and new gambling kings is the most intense.

The dispute between Mr. Lu and He Dana began with the acquisition of a legal gambling license, and has continued over the years, either explicitly or implicitly, and has never stopped, and has recently become more and more intense, the reason is nothing more than two words: interests.

……

In the more than a year that Yan Xiaokai and Lu Yan were separated, one of them was running around for tasks and restoring martial arts, and the other was working hard to continue the family business.

To this day, both of them have their own achievements, but Lu Yan's achievements are obviously greater than Yan Xiaokai's, because Mr. Lu has handed over all the properties of Aomen to Lu Yan to take care of, so she knows better than anyone about the conflict of interests.

When she explained these complicated relationships to Yan Xiaokai, Yan Xiaokai had already finished eating several cages of dim sum in the box of a time-honored restaurant opened by the Lu family.

After stuffing the last bite of the bun into his mouth, Yan Xiaokai asked, "Okay, I know what you said, but what does this have to do with me and that Lai Shao?" ”

Lu Yan paused and asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

Yan Xiaokai shook his head, "No, this is only the first half!" ”

Lu Yan sweated for a moment, "Are you really so hungry?" ”

Yan Xiaokai said: "If you are not hungry, can you bring me to find food?" ”

Lu Yan hurriedly let people serve shrimp dumplings, siu mai, phoenix feet, meatballs and other snacks, and only after finishing did she continue the topic just now, "Pornography, gambling and drugs are always tied together, because there is a secret and inseparable relationship between the three, I just told you about the six heroes to compete for hegemony, and now I will tell you about the local gangs, there are many gangs here, but there are only two with the greatest power, one is the water room, and the other is eighteen K." ”

Yan Xiaokai buried his head in hard work, and replied a little: "Mmmm! ”

Lu Yan continued: "The boss of the water room is called Alai, and his power in Aomen is extremely huge, there are not 10,000 people under his command, but there are thousands of people, it can be said that he is in full swing, irresistible, and almost shares the underground rivers and lakes with the eighteen K. ”

Yan Xiao asked without raising his head: "What about the eighteen K?" ”

Lu Yan said: "The boss of Eighteen K is called Leaky Teeth, he has only been out of prison for a few years, and he has been very low-key in the past few years, and he has put on an attitude of no longer caring about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he and Lai are rivals." ”

Yan Xiaokai finally raised his head and spit out the phoenix claw bones in his mouth, "What else?" ”

Lu Yan said: "There is also the fact that Lai has always maintained a neutral relationship in the conflict of interests between our Lu and He families, but this time you beat Lai Lai and extorted him for such a large sum of money, it is very likely that Lai will be completely pushed to He Dana's side." Let us face the Lu family under tremendous pressure. ”

Yan Xiaokai frowned and looked at her without blinking.

Lu Yan was a little weak by him, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Yan Xiaokai said leisurely: "As soon as Lao Nafa's eyes opened, he knew that your words had water. ”

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "You can see this, okay!" I admit that what I just said is indeed a bit watery, we have received rumors some time ago, Lai has often been in frequent contact with He Dana's daughter recently, although we do not know what exactly they said and did when they met, but I have reason to believe that Lai and the surname He have reached some kind of secret agreement, and Lai is even very likely to completely throw himself into the arms of the surname He. ”

Yan Xiaokai said: "Oh? What's your reason? On your own? ”

Lu Yan shook his head and said: "No, I got the news again, the boss of Eighteen K's Leaky Teeth is low-key on the surface, but in fact, he has been secretly planning to deal with Alai, because he suspects that the matter of being imprisoned back then was done by Alai." Ah Lai was probably also receiving the news, so he hugged the thigh surnamed He in advance. ”

After Yan Xiaokai listened, he sighed and said, "The relationship between your circle is really not ordinarily complicated!" ”

Lu Yan said: "No matter how complicated it is, as long as you leave now, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Yan Xiaokai groaned and said, "Lu Yan, is this what you say in your heart?" ”

Lu Yan nodded without thinking: "Of course!" Although grandpa means that he hopes that you can stay and become a big arm for us. ”

Yan Xiaokai looked at her again and didn't say anything.

Lu Yan asked suspiciously, "Why are you looking at me like this again?" ”

Yan Xiaokai said sharply: "There is still water in this, grandpa may say more than this, right?" ”

Lu Yan subconsciously responded: "Grandpa also said that he wanted to recruit you......"

Halfway through her words, she stopped abruptly, and her face turned red.

Yan Xiaokai asked suspiciously: "What did grandpa say he wanted to recruit me for?" ”

Lu Yan blushed and said, "You don't care about this, anyway, I don't want you to get involved in this matter." ”

Yan Xiaokai said: "For what? ”

Lu Yan said: "Because you are no longer the second dozen who acted as a bodyguard at the beginning, but the leader of the Hongxing Society, if you want to join in, then when the Hongxing Society also intervenes in this matter, everything will become more complicated." ”

Yan Xiaokai thought for a while, nodded and said: "Indeed, I am not the same as before, I am very important, and if I am really involved, I am afraid that it will be another gang dispute." ”

Lu Yan said happily: "Then you agree to leave?" ”

Yan Xiaokai shook his head without thinking about it: "No! ”

Lu Yan's expression froze, "What are you doing?" ”

Yan Xiaokai said: "Because I'm here to have a cave room with you, and I haven't spent the night yet, how can I be willing to leave!" ”

Lu Yan: "......"

Seeing her shy, embarrassed, and resentful expression, Yan Xiaokai couldn't help but laugh.

After a while, Lu Yancai said faintly: "I am willing to lose the bet, I owe you anyway, if you really want to, let's go to the hotel after drinking morning tea, and you will go back when you are done!" ”

Hearing her say this, Yan Xiaokai finally put away his hanging appearance, and said, "Lu Yan, even if we go to the hotel for a while, I won't go back." ”

Lu Yan: "You ......"

Yan Xiaokai said: "Don't worry! You have already shown up and spoken to me, and even if I leave, they will count this account on you. In addition, when Lai Shao left, he asked my name, and I also reported my name, as long as he has the heart, it won't take long to find out my identity. In addition, the cooperation between Hong Xingshe and the Lu family to open a gambling boat is no longer a secret thing, and in the eyes of others, we have long been on the same boat. In addition, I already have such a leg with you, whether it is public or private, I can't leave. ”

Lu Yan sighed faintly, "Why are you so stubborn." ”

Yan Xiao laughed and said: "That's because you don't know me very well, but it doesn't matter, as long as we have an in-depth exchange, you will know the Tao." ”

Lu Yan: "......"
