Chapter 300 Chapter 25 The Idea of Gambling
Liu Bing was praying at the door of the imperial study, when he suddenly heard a "squeak", he looked up and saw that the door of the imperial study was opened, and Gao Ming walked out of it with a smile on his face.
Seeing this scene, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you alright?"
"Nonsense!"
As soon as Liu Bing's words fell, Gao Ming gave him an angry look.
"Do you think I'm looking like something's wrong? Go, let people prepare wine and good food, and I will have two cups with my old man later. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted and immediately nodded happily.
"Okay, good, the old slave will go, the old slave will go to ......"
Liu Bing said as he trotted out of the yard.
At this time, Li Shimin also walked out of the house, looking at Liu Bing's back trotting away, he immediately smiled and shook his head.
"Liu Bing, this guy, has been saying good things about you in front of me recently, and I don't know if I have received any benefits from you."
Hearing Li Shimin's joking words, Gao Ming immediately shrugged his shoulders.
"It's not good, it's not that you don't know, what I've always paid attention to is to convince people with virtue."
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"
“……”
If it was usual, Li Shimin would usually feel helpless about Gao Ming's calves, but at this time he was in a good mood, so even if he knew that Gao Ming was pulling calves, the smile on his face still did not fade.
Soon, Liu Bing came with a group of palace maids to serve the dishes, and after the dishes were ready, Li Shimin and Gao Ming began to drink wine and eat meat, and feasted.
Li Shimin smiled at Gao Ming while eating.
"Gao Ming, this time you gave me the royal clubhouse, are you distressed?"
"A little!"
Gao Ming raised his glass and took a sip, then smacked his lips.
"But now that we have the income from rugby games, it's not much to lose the income from the Royal Clubhouse."
"Oh?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's face suddenly appeared a trace of surprise.
"I know your football league still makes money, but does it make more than the Royal Clubhouse?"
In Li Shimin's view, the royal club concentrates nobles, officials and wealthy businessmen, and it can be said that it includes the richest group of people in Datang, so there is no place in Datang that can make more money than the royal club.
But now listening to Gao Ming's meaning, what rugby league is more profitable than the Royal Clubhouse, how is this possible?
However, Li Shimin also knows that Gao Ming has always been a person who does not suffer losses, since he can give the royal club to himself, then he must already have a more profitable way, thinking of this, he immediately cast a puzzled look at Gao Ming.
Looking at Li Shimin's expression, Gao Ming laughed again.
"The Royal Clubhouse is on the elite route, while the rugby league is on the mass route."
Speaking of this, Gao Ming waved his finger and counted it for Li Shimin.
"Old man, you see, although the guests of this royal club spend dozens of dollars in the club every day, there are few of them, only two or three thousand yuan a day, and although the people who come to watch the rugby game only spend a few pennies per person, there are many of them!"
Hearing Gao Ming's explanation, Li Shimin frowned again.
"Gao Ming, I already know the tickets for your competition, the first floor is five Wen, the second floor is thirty Wen, and the third floor is one hundred Wen, I found that the largest number of people is still on the first and second floors, and the third floor has the fewest people, according to this, it is already good to earn a thousand yuan a day, right?"
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming nodded with a smile.
"Yes, and if there are not many people who go, you can't earn 1,000 yuan, there are a lot of people who go to this game this morning, but the ticket price is only about 600 yuan, and I hold two games a day, which is also 1,200 yuan a day."
"Then you still give me the royal clubhouse?"
In Li Shimin's view, Gao Ming should give him the benefits of the rugby game even if he gives, instead of giving him the royal club, a hen that lays golden eggs.
Looking at Li Shimin's puzzled look, Gao Ming immediately shook his head.
"Old man, the place where rugby makes money is not only tickets, but also other places, such as influence, which are intangible assets, but these are things in the future, and now the gambling industry is in front of you!"
Hearing a new term pop out of Gao Ming's mouth, Li Shimin's eyes lit up again.
"The gambling industry? What is that? ”
"To put it bluntly, it's the gambling industry!"
Speaking of this, Gao Ming's face had a smile again.
"I sent someone to investigate, we have a total of hundreds of gambling houses in Chang'an City and Jingzhao Mansion, and the daily income of each gambling house is between tens and hundreds, that is to say, all these gambling houses add up, and the daily income is enough to tens of thousands!"
"Hiss......"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately gasped.
"Are there so many?"
"Absolutely!"
When he said this, Gao Ming's face was already serious.
"And I also found out that behind the Chang'an City Gambling House and Qinghe Lou is the Zhaojun Li Clan, and behind the Jingzhao Mansion is the Xingyang Zhen Clan, and the gambling house can be said to support these two big clans, so I plan to suppress them on this."
Li Shimin has been looking for an opportunity to suppress the family gatekeeper, and now when he heard that Gao Ming planned to suppress them in the gambling industry, he also showed a serious face.
"What are you going to do? Do I need to do anything? ”
Li Shimin's implication is that he intends to cooperate with Gao Ming.
Of course, Gao Ming also heard what Li Shimin meant, but he shook his head with a smile.
"No, I've already handed this matter over to the Royal Business Alliance, and it's very simple, it's nothing more than setting up a few handicaps, so that the people can bet on which team wins, and then there should be many people who choose to gamble and give up going to the gambling house, so that they will naturally make less money."
After listening to Gao Ming's explanation, Li Shimin nodded.
"I see, even if you can get one percent of the income from it, it will be more than the royal club, but if you do this, there will be many more people who impeach you than in the court, have you thought about what to do?"
"No, and no!"
As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Gao Ming shook his head decisively.
"A lot of people have impeached me, and then it's useless, it's a big deal that I'll let out the news another day, if anyone dares to impeach me, I'll let people pour feces on his door when I turn around!"
"Uh......"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's outstretched chopsticks suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately reacted that they were eating, so he immediately arched his hand towards Li Shimin with some embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, old man, I forgot that we were still eating, I shouldn't have said this, pee, or something, but it's okay, I'm full, you continue, you eat, you eat......"
