Chapter 528: Queen Victoria

The Queen Victoria gambling ship was co-founded by Xu Guanwu and the Bamboo Federation, and was specially moored on the high seas to solicit gamblers.

The Queen Victoria itself is a huge cruise ship, carrying more than two thousand passengers. Although it is an old ship that has been in service for more than 15 years, it can continue to operate for a long time after a little modification.

The huge space of the hull is enshrined as four large gambling halls, three small gambling halls, and the large gambling halls are all popular baccarat, roulette, sic bo, blackjack, etc., which are specially designed for gamblers with ordinary wealth to play here. As for the small gambling hall, it is blackjack, Texas Hold'em, roulette and other more elegant gambling, which is exclusively for wealthy high rollers to spend here.

The Queen Victoria was bought by Hui Guanwu for HK$40 million at the beginning of the year, and then refurbished for HK$30 million. After more than half a year of renovation, it is now finally on the high seas near Hong Kong.

Gangs in Hong Kong and Macao were not immediately alert to the cruise ship heading to the high seas of Hong Kong, until advertisements for the cruise ship began to appear in Hong Kong newspapers, with obscure words such as "advanced facilities, first-class environment, a variety of tricks, and a great victory."

Because in addition to horse racing, Mark Six and other government-run projects in Hong Kong, it is strictly forbidden for private individuals to open gambling stalls, etc., and four people are not allowed to get involved in the gambling industry, so gambling advertisements are not allowed in any Hong Kong media.

But even though the ad is flickering, Hong Kong people are smart people, and with the spread of gossip, everyone knows that there is a gambling boat on the high seas of Lang Dao, although I don't know what the background of Lu Dao is, but it has already made people excited.

In the early days, in order to attract tourists, Queen Victoria sent gift certificates to Wu Baiyuan. Each visitor can receive a 500 yuan gift voucher with their ID card. In fact, it is equivalent to Wu Baiyuan's chips.

Late seventies. Wu Baiyuan's gift certificate is equivalent to half a month's salary of ordinary people, which is really a lot of money, so after this advertisement was published, it immediately caused a sensation among Hong Kong citizens. After all, 500 yuan is not a small amount, if you bring the ID cards of the whole family, you can receive thousands of yuan of gift certificates, which is really a considerable wealth.

For a while, the streets of Hong Kong were made by this advertisement. Ordinary citizens borrow ID cards from relatives and friends, ruffians and hooligans rob ID cards on the street, and even black X club bosses also hoard ID cards, just waiting for the day when the gambling boat officially opens, and take their ID cards to the ship to change chips.

As for whether they are worried about the danger to their lives, these people are also very open. The gambling boat is located in Hong Kong, which is closer to Hong Kong than Macau, and even if there is an incident, the marine police will arrive as soon as possible, so what is there to worry about?

The real worries are Hong Kong's local underground casinos, as well as Macau's Hung Ho Sun's Lisboa Group. Then a big gambling ship is parked on the edge of Hong Kong. You can get on the boat in ten minutes by boat, which is much more convenient than taking a boat to Macau.

In addition, gambling ships on the high seas can be completely exempt from paying taxes. Therefore, it is natural to draw a small percentage of the payout to attract money-hungry gamblers to patronize it. But who is not greedy for money, so naturally the gambling boat business is booming, and the money that should have flowed into Hong Kong's underground casinos and the Portuguese group is all sucked up by the gambling boats.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, not only the Black X Society in Hong Kong is dissatisfied, but even the Black X Society in Macau is quite angry. Before the gambling boat officially opened, dozens of speedboats loaded with old boys went to negotiate.

The origin of the Queen Victoria is mysterious, and no one pays attention to what it does until it is advertised. After all, it is common for a cruise ship to appear on the high seas, and Hong Kong people are too busy to finish the things in front of them, so how can they pay attention to the things on the high seas?

Now the black X in Hong Kong and Macao will go to negotiate with people, and only when they really meet do they know that the road is the Bamboo Union on the Taiwan side. At the moment, the black X in Hong Kong and Macau will not be angry.

"You Taiwanese guys didn't say hello, and they actually drove the gambling boat to the door of your home, are you underestimating Hong Kong and no one in Macau?" For a time, Hong Kong and Macao, which had always been suspicious, were enemies and the guns were the same.

However, for the menacing Hong Kong and Macau, the performance of the Bamboo Federation is much calmer. Most of the gang members in Hong Kong and Macao are street gangsters, who bully others, beat passers-by, and collect protection money. really fight with guns, where do they have that ability, otherwise they won't be stopped by the big circle.

However, most of the brothers of the Bamboo Union were born in the army, received formal and strict military training, and their natural combat quality was much stronger than that of the Black X Society in Hong Kong and Macao. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the gambling boat, the Bamboo Federation also specially sent hundreds of elite backbones, equipped with very strong arms, which can fight a small war on the high seas, so even if hundreds of people came from Hong Kong and Macau, they still behaved calmly and did not have the slightest sense of panic.

The people of Hong Kong and Macau asked the guilty, and it was originally a violent, and the gods blocked the killing of the Buddha and the killing of the Buddha, but when they came to the gambling boat, they were all taken aback. I saw that there were also speedboats patrolling in front of the gambling boats, and all of them were loaded with guns, and their serious heavy firepower was more than a step stronger than the machetes and pistols in their hands.

Although the Black X Society in Hong Kong and Macao is arrogant, it is easy not to dare to use firearms. Because once the firearms are used, it will attract a frantic counterattack by the police, and then not only will the interests of the community be damaged, but in serious cases, these heads and brains will be directly deported. In addition, Hong Kong itself has a developed economy and abundant oil and water, so as long as you are willing to make money, you can make money. Black X will be for money, not for a momentary hero, and naturally there is no need to fight for life and death.

Therefore, no matter the hardware equipment or the software is intrinsic, it is impossible for the black X clubs in Hong Kong and Macao to compete with Taiwan's Bamboo Alliance. It's just that they occupy a favorable place and place in Hong Kong, so the Taiwan Gang's power has not been able to penetrate in.

However, now that the gambling ship is placed on the high seas, it is useless to have the right time, place and people. The vast sea, free navigation, no one except the country where the ship is registered, no one has the right to control the ship, not even the Hong Kong police, who are close at hand.

……

Taiwan's Bamboo Federation, Hong Kong, and Macau will negotiate on the high seas. Actually, there is nothing to talk about. The contradictions and differences between the two sides are too great. There is simply no way to bridge in a short period of time.

Hong Kong and Macau means that the gambling boat goes away. It is not allowed to solicit customers at the doorstep. The meaning of the bamboo union is that this deal is done, whether you agree with me or not, I have to do it, and the more I do it, the more angry you will be.

The two sides are not speculative, and they almost have to do it on the spot. Zhulian's side is not afraid, their firepower is so strong, even the RPG bazooka has been obtained, I don't know why they are so hand-eyed.

Hong Kong doesn't have that much firepower, and the most ruthless is just a pistol. It's not as cool as in the movie, it's an AK47 and a submachine gun, and it's headless and brainless.

Having said that, in Hong Kong Black X shootout movies, although there are often street shootouts, and even sharp firearms such as AK47, shotguns, and rocket launchers are used, it seems to be the war-torn Middle East. But in fact, Hong Kong's crime rate is notoriously low in the world, and the movie is too exaggerated.

The two sides could not get along with each other. Fighting and fighting cannot be fought, and a confrontation can only be formed on the high seas.

Hong Kong. The Black X Society in Macau also understands that as long as the ferries in Hong Kong and Macau are controlled, and the speedboats on the gambling boats are not allowed to pick up people ashore, he will not be able to do business at all, and naturally he will not be able to make money at all, and he can only walk away after a long time.

And although they do not have an advantage in beating these Taiwanese Yankees, they can still do it by preventing Hong Kong citizens from boarding the boat and preventing the boats from docking.

Therefore, the black X clubs in Hong Kong and Macau clamored to block the Bamboo Union and prevent a Hong Kong gambler from boarding the ship. In the face of their clamour, Bamboo Union naturally has countermeasures to deal with.

……

Early in the morning, people from Hong Kong and Macao took boats to surround the gambling boats, but they didn't dare to get too close, and only formed a semi-arc in Hong Kong waters, ready to intercept the ships passing by at any time.

But this side is blocked on the high seas, but there is no way to stop it, the firepower of the Bamboo Union is really strong, even if you are killed on the high seas, Hong Kong cannot intervene, and death is only equivalent to a vain death.

Therefore, when the fishing boat carries gamblers from the high seas to the gambling boat, the black X on this side of Hong Kong waters can only be dumbfounded.

These gamblers assemble in advance in the fishing villages of the New Territories and then take boats to the high seas. This kind of practice is similar to smuggling, which is also in the scope of the crackdown in Hong Kong. However, real smuggling can't be cracked down, so if you just go to the high seas to gamble, you naturally can't take care of it.

In fact, according to Xu Guanwu's earliest idea, the Queen Victoria could anchor in Hong Kong to pick up customers, and then carry people out of the high seas and then start casinos and other entertainment facilities, so that a few days back and forth, eating, drinking and having fun, even if you don't gamble, you can take a boat around.

It's just a pity that the government approval process is too slow, and I can't wait, so I was forced to adopt this method, although it is a bit risky, but it can't stop these gamblers from gambling.

To be honest, they gamble in Hong Kong's underground casinos and risk being swept by the police. In fact, there is not much difference between going to the high seas to gamble on a gambling boat, not to mention that this time when you go to sea by boat, the cost is all covered by the gambling boat, and you can also have Wu Baiyuan gift certificates after getting on the boat, so many people obey the arrangement and go to the high seas from the New Territories in batches.

Arrange so many people to go to the high seas to gamble on the boat, Zhulian naturally does not have such a great power, and it is naturally Xu Guanwu who does things behind it. He has a group of people in Hong Kong for a long time, but the structure is loose and he has not made a banner, so he is not known. But in fact, a lot of big things have been done behind the scenes, such as the fall of the Ma brothers, which is inseparable from this group of people.

Seeing nearly 1,000 gamblers successfully boarding the gambling ship from the high seas, this is undoubtedly like a slap in the face for the black X clubs in Hong Kong and Macau, and it is extremely depressing.

Although thousands of gamblers directly took away 3 million chips as soon as they got on the boat, many of them had more than one ID card on them, and because the Queen Victoria advertised that they could receive Wu Baiyuan gift certificates with their ID cards, and did not indicate that they must hold their ID cards, so this time it can be said that it is a big loss. Many people who get a lot of money with multiple ID cards secretly laugh at the fact that the person who opened the casino is an idiot.

But in fact, this was specially arranged by Xu Guanwu, and he had already calculated that even if four million people in Hong Kong came together to receive money, it would only be 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, but after removing half of the children and teenagers, only one billion Hong Kong dollars would remain. In addition, there are other reasons why he will not come to gamble, and he will not even lend his ID card, so he will pay a gift certificate of 100 million Hong Kong dollars at most.

The gift voucher of 100 million Hong Kong dollars cannot be converted into cash, and can only be exchanged for mud code at the casino. The mud chips can only be exchanged for cash chips after they have won, and at least half of the expenses will be deducted, in short, he only needs to pay up to 50 million.

And the huge flow of people attracted in this way can create at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars of wealth for him, which is just a small amount compared to 50 million. (To be continued......)
