Chapter 475: Temptation
"Henry, I'm sorry, I'm delayed, I'm late......" An hour later, Qin Feng felt in the office of the club where Henry Wei was.
"It's okay, I don't have much to do here all day except for tea!"
Henry Wei poured Qin Feng a cup of kung fu tea with a smile and said, "Drinking tea can nourish qi and calm the mind, which is very important to us, and my kung fu of nourishing qi is learned from the tea ceremony." ”
"As long as anything can be done to the extreme, it will have this effect."
Qin Feng smiled noncommittally, for a person who practiced Neijia Kung Fu, as long as he meditated for a few minutes, he would immediately be able to calm his mind, but he didn't need to use these things to cultivate his sentiments.
"Qin Feng, Ming'er is leaving, are you ready for things here?"
Henry Wei is a southerner, although he has been in Beijing for a few years, he still can't learn the habit of talking around the corner in the mainland, and after Qin Feng sat down, he asked straight to the point.
"I've booked my tickets, so I'm not going to go, right?"
After hearing Henry Wei's words, Qin Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "Henry, what I promised you and Brother Hao will definitely be done, but I have some thoughts of my own for this gambling king competition......
"Oh? Qin Feng, what do you think? Let's hear it. ”
Henry Wei was stunned when he heard this, after what happened on Ao Island, he knew that the young man in front of him was not someone he could control.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Henry, you participate in the King of Gamblers Competition, just to return to Ao Island, am I right?" ”
"Yes, you're right."
Henry Wei nodded and said with a wry smile: "Although it is not bad in the capital. But I'm from Aoji, and I've lived there for decades, and I always feel like I'm not used to a lot of places here......"
In fact, after following Ye Han for so many years, even if Henry Wei didn't do anything for the rest of his life, it was enough for him to spend, originally after Ye Han died. Henry Wei was going to quit the gambling world.
But the shadow of the famous tree, Henry Wei has this idea, it does not mean that others believe it, at least the gambling king Mr. He does not believe it, and he forced Henry Wei out of Ao Island through a gambling game.
Now Henry Wei's idea is very simple, after he gets the title of gambling king through this gambling king competition, he can justifiably participate in the gambling card competition after the return of the island.
As long as Chen Shihao can get a gambling card, he Henry Wei's return to Ao Island. Even the gambling king can't stop it.
"Henry, I also have some ideas about the gambling industry on Ao Island."
Qin Feng organized his language, thought for a while and said, "If I also want to participate in the competition for the gambling license of Aodao, I don't know if you are willing to support me?" ”
"You? Competing for a gambling card? Henry Wei, who was pouring tea, trembled violently with his hands and knocked over the tea cup in his hand.
"Qin Feng, you're not joking with me, are you? It's not funny......
After taking the towel and wiping his hands. Henry Wei sat back in his chair, his eyes fixed on Qin Feng. He wanted to see clearly whether Qin Feng was joking or true.
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Qin Feng slowly picked up the boiling kettle, filled the teacup with water, and skillfully brewed kung fu tea for Henry Wei.
"Are you serious?"
Henry Wei shook his head again and again and said, "Qin Feng." I don't think you know very well what this gambling license represents, do you really think it's a business license to operate a gambling business? ”
Casino Ao Island has a history of more than 140 years, and in 1847, the Portuguese government legalized gambling on Ao Island. For a while, the gambling stalls were swarming, and there was chaos.
The authorities then enacted regulations to control them, whereby the administrative authorities issued gambling licenses, and the winners of private bidding had to sign a contract with the authorities to gamble at designated places. Private gambling is illegal and will be banned and banned.
The first to obtain the patent right of Macau gaming was a businessman named Lu Jiu, at first, he only operated "white pigeon ticket", "lottery lottery" and other lottery tickets, the form is single, the business is deserted.
In 1930, Lu Jiu, together with Fan Jiepeng, He Tu and others, formed the "Haoxing Company", and with the support of Huo Zhiting, the president of the Bank of Guangdong Province, and Li Shengju, the founder of Hong Kong Island Kangnian Bank, the second and sixth floors of the Central Hotel on Avenida da Xindao, Ao Island, were opened into casinos, and a stage was set up in the casino, and famous Cantonese opera singers were invited to perform to attract gamblers.
In order to attract more Hong Kong people to gamble in Macao, "Hao Hing" also spent money on the purchase of a destroyer, which was converted into a passenger ship to travel between Hong Kong and Macao, greatly shortening the sailing time between the two places, causing Hong Kong tourists to flock to Macao, and the exclusive gambling industry on Macao Island has since been on the right track.
From the 30s to the 60s of the last century, the overall development of the gambling industry in Australia was stable and orderly, of course, the extensive operation mode was the inevitable result of the overall economic climate in East Asia at that time.
In 1937, Taixing Entertainment Corporation, jointly established by the chaebol Fu Laorong and Gao Kening, undertook the gambling industry in Australia and obtained the franchise rights, and their glory lasted until the 60s of the 20th century.
In 1961, Ye Han, Ye Deli, Ho Hongshen, Fok Yingdong and other "Four Heavenly Kings" gathered on Ao Island, and the entertainment company they jointly formed won the gambling license with a slight difference of 17,000 Hong Kong dollars in the competition with the Fu and Gao families.
After some infighting and reshuffle, He Hongshen successfully squeezed Ye Han out of Aodao and became the new "godfather" of Aodao gambling.
From the above more than half a century of ups and downs can be seen, the importance of gambling cards in the island, there is nothing to compare, the gambler, the island of the world!
With more than 30 years of gambling franchise, He Hongshen has built a huge gambling empire with a market value of more than 100 billion.
Henry Wei really couldn't imagine why Qin Feng had the confidence to dare to say this, if he hadn't been with Qin Feng for a while and knew that he was more stable, I'm afraid Henry Wei would have reprimanded Qin Feng for being arrogant.
"In fact, to put it bluntly, a gambling license is also a business license."
Qin Feng turned a blind eye to the dissatisfaction on Henry Wei's face, and said to himself: "I want to take off the gambling card." It is nothing more than a competition for financial resources, who has strong financial resources and can meet the requirements of the Australian Island government, and then the gambling card is not anyone's? ”
"It's simple."
Henry Wei rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to compete for gambling cards, you don't have tens of billions of funds." I can't even get in the threshold at all, not to mention anything else, do you have this money? ”
Facing Qin Feng, Henry Wei really felt a little crying and laughing.
Not to mention that Qin Feng is just a young man in his early twenties, even Chen Shihao, who dominates the Haojiang River, and has no capital to take off the gambling card, if the Fu family on Hong Kong Island found him, I'm afraid Chen Shihao wouldn't dare to bet on the idea of playing cards.
So in Henry Wei's opinion, Qin Feng made a career at a young age. Then the self-confidence will be infinitely inflated, and it will be able to say such an out-of-tune thing.
"No, I can only take out a few million at most now." Qin Feng said honestly.
"Then you dare to think about gambling cards?"
Henry Wei waved his hand and said: "Qin Feng, if you really want to enter the gambling industry on Aodao, just agree to Brother Hao's conditions, but ten percent is a bit impossible, maybe you can get one or two percent of the shares at that time......"
For operating a casino. Henry Guard can be said to know everything about how strong he is. It is only a dozen percent of the shares in the Lisboa Casino.
Therefore, Chen Shihao said to Qin Feng before that ten percent is simply impossible, and when it comes to the distribution of benefits after winning the gambling license, Chen Shihao estimates that he can only win one or two percent of Qin Feng's shares at most.
But don't underestimate this one percent of the shares, according to the current development of the island casino, as long as it has been in operation for ten years or eight years. Even if it is one percent, I am afraid that the market value will be more than one billion.
Qin Feng actually saw this clearly, Chen Shihao promised now, but when the gambling cards arrived, Chen Shihao's right to speak would be very limited.
Those who gave up the vast majority of the funds. This kind of share distribution will not be agreed, because it will not involve the interests of one or two parties, and many aspects of the relationship must be balanced.
"Henry, what if there is someone behind me who is willing to inject money?" Qin Feng only had some vague ideas now, but he had to communicate with Henry before he could talk about other things.
"You've got someone else to capitalize on?"
Henry was shocked when he heard this, and his face finally became serious, because he knew that Qin Feng had dealings with many upper-class people in the capital, and he might not be able to raise funds for the development of casinos.
And when the time comes, although the chief executive will be a native of the island in principle, who would dare to say that the central government has no influence on the island? This may also play a decisive role in the ownership of gambling cards.
"It's not certain yet, it's just a possibility."
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I just want to know, if I intend to compete for a gambling card, will you bring Uncle Ming and them to my side when the time comes?" ”
Qin Feng has always been reluctant to be controlled by others, and after hearing from Chen Shihao that several Hong Kong Island tycoons were going to participate in the gambling competition, Qin Feng faintly had a plan to start anew.
"Qin Feng, I'm sorry, I can't promise you."
Henry thought for a while with a gloomy face, then shook his head and said, "Danny and I have been old friends for decades, I can't do anything to be sorry for him, Qin Feng, I can't do this......"
It was Chen Shihao who made Henry Wei see the hope of returning to Ao Island, so whether emotionally or morally, Henry Wei would not abandon Chen Shihao and choose Qin Feng.
Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "What if Brother Hao chooses to cooperate with me?" ”
From beginning to end, Qin Feng didn't think about getting rid of Chen Shihao, you must know that if you want to open a casino, capital is important, but Chen Shihao's Shili is also an important factor in the continuation of this casino.
"I see?"
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Henry Wei couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, his expression suddenly relaxed, and said: "Qin Feng, I only sell Danny's face, as long as you can convince Danny to do it with you, of course I will follow you......"
Qin Feng nodded and said, "That's good, Henry, don't talk to Brother Hao about this matter first, when the time comes, I will talk to him." ”
There is still half a year before the return of the island, and at the time of the return, it is believed that the SAR government will not rush to start the gambling jihua, which will not be carried out at least two years later.
Now Chen Shihao only has such an intention with those Hong Kong Island tycoons, and has not had substantive contact.
Because of the premise of all this, Henry Wai needs to win the title of gambling king in this gambling king competition, and Chen Shihao was only qualified to negotiate with those super-rich people on Hong Kong Island at that time.
"I know, Qin Feng, I'm really convinced of you."
Henry Wei obviously knew that these things had not yet been discussed, but in the face of Qin Feng, he now had an indescribable feeling, if Qin Feng could really win the gambling card by then, then he would need to look up to the height he was at.
Qin Feng looked at the time, he still had to go to the teacher's house tonight to send Xueyan over, he stood up at the moment and said, "Okay, Henry, then I'll go first, and we'll see you at the airport at noon tomorrow ......" (to be continued......
