Chapter 548: A Dose of Fierce Medicine
Lan Ying was waiting for Shi Haodong outside, only to hear the sound of the door, and saw Shi Haodong in good spirits, and walked out in good spirits.
Shi Haodong walked out of the room and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”
Lan Ying snorted and followed Shi Haodong out.
The two got into the car and rushed to the Lu Mansion in the depths of the maple forest, Shi Haodong solved his thoughts, and his mood was very different, looking at these magnificent maple trees along the way, he felt more pleasing to the eye.
Approaching the Lu Mansion, Shi Haodong's gaze became sunken, and then the real counteroffensive began, whether it was the casino, Chen Ziqing, or the Qingshan Gang.
"This is a very memorable day, because the history of Huaxing City will be rewritten from today."
Shi Haodong put one hand on the car door, looked out the window, and gradually became a little sharper, as if it was the gaze of the vulture feeding the prey.
Lan Ying drove the car, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Shi Haodong's gaze, and his heart was dark, is he going to make a move again?
When she followed Zhuang Anjun at the beginning, she was already a little conflicted with Shi Haodong, but now she has become a partner because of Lin Shixuan's relationship, and she hopes that Shi Haodong can overcome all the obstacles and win the final victory.
The tall courtyard wall of the Lu Mansion was far away, and Shi Haodong's gaze softened, as if it was harmless to humans and animals, full of kind eyes.
Shi Haodong got out of the car, looked at the guard at the door, followed by a suit jacket, walked proudly, and said, "I'm Shi Haodong, I made an appointment with Chairman Lu." ”
The guards had already been instructed by Chairman Lu, and immediately led Shi Haodong and Lan Ying to walk inside.
It's still that courtyard, it's still that pavilion, Chairman Lu is still playing chess, but this time it's a lot better to play chess.
When Shi Haodong approached, he saw that one of his right hands was raised frequently and fell frequently, as if he was confident and very decisive.
When Shi Haodong walked to the pavilion, Chairman Lu had already put down the chess pieces, stood up, looked at Shi Haodong, and said, "I heard that you have already thought of how to meet my request?" ”
Shi Haodong smiled slightly, walked towards Chairman Lu, and said, "That's right, I have indeed thought of a way. ”
Chairman Lu looked at Shi Haodong in surprise, and he didn't expect him to think of a way to crack it in such a short time. Said: "Oh! Let's hear it. ”
Shi Haodong had already walked up to Chairman Lu as he spoke, looked at Chairman Lu, and said with a smile: "Chairman Lu has always been worried that passing such a decree will bring shame to you and the Liberal Party, and my method will be of great help to you and the reputation of the Liberal Party." ”
Chairman Lu nodded and smiled: "Sounds good, I hope you don't let me down." ”
Shi Haodong said confidently: "Definitely not, I dare to guarantee that after Chairman Lu heard about it, he would definitely raise his hands in approval." ”
Chairman Lu saw that he was reluctant to speak, as if he was going to sell Guanzi, and smiled but did not say anything.
Shi Haodong saw that the other party's appetite might be disgusted, and said: "Actually, this method is very simple, I plan to sacrifice 50% of the casino's profits for Huaxing City's infrastructure, education, health, medical and other undertakings." "In fact, there is still one point that is not said, so that the interests of the casino are closely related to public utilities, which is equivalent to being tied to the government, and if the government wants to suppress the casino, it has to consider the reaction of the people.
Chairman Lu smiled: "Although your method sounds good, it is flashy, who knows how much revenue your casino can bring?" Hundreds of millions, that's not worth the risk we take for you. ”
Shi Haodong smiled and said, "I believe that the prospect of this casino does not need to be said, Chairman Lu should also be clear." I will focus on the casino, now the Donghua Group is under my full control, and the funds I can use are 2.5 billion, and I plan to invest all the 2.5 billion in the construction of the casino. ”
Chairman Lu nodded and agreed: "Yes, you are indeed very courageous, dare to make a desperate bet, and continue to speak." Looking at Shi Haodong, his eyes have changed a little.
Shi Haodong said: "When the casino is established, it needs to recruit employees to operate, which can solve a lot of employment problems. ”
Chairman Lu said: "What you said, Ding Huaiwen can also do it." ”
Shi Haodong smiled slightly and said: "Ding Huaiwen may not be willing to invest such funds, and he is inclined to the Social Democratic Party, which is not beneficial to your Liberal Party at all." ”
Chairman Lu said: "This makes sense. ”
Shi Haodong said: "Then I am willing to pay 50% of the income to return to the society." At the beginning, when the casino was healthy, it was not possible to see the benefits, but in the long run, with the return of this sum of money to the infrastructure, the cityscape of Huaxing City is bound to change with each passing day, so it attracts more and more customers, and even with the supporting hotels, tourism and other industries will also make great progress, Huaxing City has developed into a metropolis that has attracted worldwide attention, and it is only a matter of time. ”
Chairman Lu groaned, what Shi Haodong saw coincided with what he predicted, and it was only a matter of time before Huaxing City took off, otherwise he would not make an exception to meet Shi Haodong. And Shi Haodong's character dares to fight and rush, and he dares to make a desperate bet, so his investment of 2.5 billion can also be believed.
Shi Haodong saw him groaning, knowing that he was already tempted, and continued: "As Huaxing City becomes more famous, there will only be more and more customers who come to the casino to gamble, which in turn will increase the business of the casino. This situation is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and eventually developing into a behemoth, and I can even boldly predict that within 20 years, more than half of the people in Huaxing City will rely on casinos for a living. ”
Chairman Lu said: "Then what does this have to do with us? ”
Shi Haodong said: "This involves this casino bidding, if your party helps me win the casino, I announced at the press conference that I made this decision, Chairman Lu, you and the Liberal Party, the people are still not grateful to you?" If that's not enough, I can also erect a stone monument at the gate of the casino to record this incident, so that the names of Chairman Lu and the Liberal Party will forever remain in the hearts of the people who eat at the casino. ”
Chairman Lu's heart was moved, he mixed to this point, money is no longer enough to impress him, only to leave a name for a hundred generations, recorded in the history of the party is the most exciting place for him, even far more than the election for president, after all, a hundred years later, the president's name is likely to fade into the minds of the people, and when the people of Huaxing City go to the casino, talking about the history of the construction of the casino, it is bound to mention him, talking about how he was back then, discerning, overwhelming the opposition of all parties, and trying to promote Shi Haodong to take charge of the casino, what a beautiful thing it will be?
Shi Haodong watched Chairman Lu's expression and knew that he had almost agreed, and only one dose of fierce medicine was needed to facilitate this matter, and he said endlessly: "This is not all, the real magic is behind." ”
Chairman Lu was shocked in his heart, he used to think that this young man's resourcefulness was not as good as Xiang Ba, but now it seems that he is only afraid of losing his eyes. Pretending to be calm, he said, "Oh, what's the benefit?" ”
Shi Haodong smiled faintly and said: "There is also the benefit of doing good deeds, I will give back half of the income of the casino to Huaxing City, and the people of Huaxing City rely on me to eat." If I stand up and support you when you run for the election, what do you think will happen? ”
Chairman Lu muttered: "Huaxing City accounts for one-third of the population of the entire DT Federation, and if the people of Huaxing City support me, I will already win half of the election before I run. Speaking of this, he was shocked, looked at Shi Haodong suddenly, and said, "The next president must be me?" ”
Shi Haodong smiled: "That's right. As he spoke, he picked up a white chess piece in the chess box next to the chessboard, put it in the heart of the black on the chessboard, and continued: "Just like this chess piece, it goes straight to the heart of the SPD, and it is expected that even if they have the ability to reach the sky, they will not be able to return to heaven!" ”
Such a move is very bold, he doesn't know Go, and he doesn't know the consequences of such a move, if in normal times, it will definitely make Chairman Lu unhappy, and it is even possible to be expelled, but at this time, the problem that Chairman Lu has been planning is solved between talking and laughing with Shi Haodong, and he does not feel that Shi Haodong's behavior is rude, but appreciates his courage.
didn't look at the chess game on the chessboard, and laughed: "Chen Ziqing's suppression of you may be the biggest mistake in his life." You've helped me solve my biggest problem, so I'll have to stay here for a light meal later. ”
Shi Haodong said that it was false if he didn't realize it at this time, when he came before, Chairman Lu looked condescending, not to mention eating together, even if they met, they had to communicate with other people before they could meet, but now he enthusiastically kept himself to eat, which was enough to see that his status in his mind was higher.
He was also inspired by "taxation" before, but now there are many contradictions in the country, and the officials are reaching out too much, which has increased the already high taxes several times, and those who do small businesses will naturally not be able to do it, and will instead work for others, resulting in a more and more serious job shortage and a higher and higher unemployment rate.
The government has tried to solve this contradiction many times, but to no avail, and the fact that it has sacrificed the interests of casinos to create jobs for the unemployed is bound to arouse the interest of Chairman Lu.
Of course, Shi Haodong will not sacrifice the interests of the casino for no reason, which seems to be a loss-making move, but in fact, it is very profitable. First, the casino gives back to the society, which will inevitably drive the prosperity of the entire Huaxing City, and in turn drive the business of the casino. Second, the casino is linked to the government, and even if someone wants to kill fat, they have to weigh it to ensure the stability of the casino. Third, if you gain enough popularity and grasp the votes of the citizens of Huaxing City, you can stay behind the scenes and control the situation, and the election of the mayor and even the president in the future is also in your own hands.
This third article is Shi Haodong's real purpose.
