"Master Zhuang."

"A toast."

"Thank you for your support to the villagers."

Inside the Lu ancestral hall.

The Lions boss held a wine glass in both hands, and the eight Lions stood in a row, standing behind him, all smiling with a wine glass.

The boss of the Lions team bent down to toast and lowered the rim of the glass, while Zhuang Sir sat at the main table with a chuckle, raised his glass and clinked glasses with him.

"Huh." The boss of the lion team hurriedly drank the wine glass in one gulp, and the rest of the lion team members also raised their glasses to drink, and Zhuang Sir took a shallow sip of wine, put down the wine glass and threw a look at Ami.

"You can take these." Ami opened the white leather bag and took out a stack of 10,000 yuan red envelopes that had been prepared for a long time.

"Thank you, ma'am." The boss of the lion team didn't dare to look at Ami at all, so he put away the red envelope and thanked him, and then the members of the lion team standing behind him also thanked him: "Thank you, madam, thank you Zhuangye." ”

Zhuang Shikai nodded, and immediately continued to pick up chopsticks to eat, chatting with Lu Hantao. Ami smiled and waved at them, saying that she didn't need to thank them, and didn't say anything more to them.

There was only one space for them to stand at the main table, and a group of people could only line up in a row. If Zhuang Shikai hadn't started to appreciate them today, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to be close to the main table.

The lion dance is so good that it can be close to the nobles!

But there are no other opportunities, and it doesn't stop there.

After the lion dance, the Lu ancestral hall opened a flowing water seat. The people who can sit close to the ancestral hall are people with some status, or close relatives, and the people who can sit at the main table are Lu Hantao and others, and there are village chiefs in various villages in the New Territories.

They were holding Zhuang sir in the stars, and the others didn't even have a chance to come forward to toast, and the lion dance team was already envied by everyone for being able to talk to Zhuang sir.

The lion dance boss understands the rules of the world very well, and after getting the red envelope, he didn't say a word superfluous, and left the main table with his brothers. Go back to their place and sit down, and then divide the red envelopes among the brothers.

There is a kind of intelligence in the world called self-knowledge.

The villagers don't necessarily understand the law, but they tend to understand the rules very well.

Know not to do unrealistic delusions.

"Brother Quan, Brother Fu, Yongyu, let's also go to the village sir for a drink, right?" At this time, at a table in the corner of the ancestral hall, seven or eight fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys were sitting on chairs, and one of them, a simple-looking child, raised his wine glass and shouted loudly.

These children are all descendants of the Lu family, including Lu Hantao's daughter, and the children of Lu Hantao's brothers, called Lu Yongyu, Lu Yongfu, Lu Yongquan, etc...

They are all cousins, and they are also the little sons of the next generation of the Lu family.

These little boys have a good background, and their natural status is higher than that of many Lu villagers, so they don't need to go outside the door to eat a banquet, and they can sit directly in the ancestral hall.

They have invisibly formed a small circle.

Several boys were instigated by Lu Jianbo, and they all shouted with wine glasses: "Okay, okay!" ”

"Let's go and have a drink to Zhuang Ye."

"I heard that Zhuang Ye was super powerful when he was young, and he knocked over eight streets in Causeway Bay with a baton! Known as the Causeway Bay handle! It's much more powerful than the current handle-carrying Liangzai Nan! ”

"Let's go and ask him how he does it! Say hello and go back to school and blow water with your classmates! ”

The boys talked more and more vigorously, and stood up with their wine glasses and shouting.

And their thinking is very out-of-the-box, the main purpose is not to have a relationship with Zhuang Sir, but to collect water blowing materials among classmates.

At this time, Lu Jinqiang, who was the big man, sat in his position, immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Jianbo's wrist, frowned and shouted to several younger brothers: "Don't go!" ”

Lu Jianbo and the others looked back at the big guy.

Lu Jinqiang said solemnly: "Don't hinder Uncle and Zhuang Ye from chatting!" And you will not see who is sitting at the Lord's table. ”

"Be careful of being beaten by Uncle!"

Lu Jinqiang is the oldest and the most sensible. He is the big guy among the juniors, and he reached out to grab a few little boys, but the little boys didn't dare to refuse at all. What's more, when they heard the word "uncle", they were instantly afraid.

So they all sat down to eat obediently, Zhuang Si didn't notice them at all, but they often peeked in the direction of Zhuang sir, and their eyes were full of yearning.

One of the offspring who is not qualified to enter the ancestral hall is the most yearning.

However, he knew how to lie on the door of the ancestral hall and shout "Yongyu" to catch dragonflies.

That's a great trick!

After Zhuang Shikai finished the banquet, he didn't wait for the banquet to end, and left the Lu family with Ami early.

During the New Year, he also went not only to Lu's countryside, but also to Kowloon and outlying islands. However, he only went to the countryside until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, he crossed the sea by boat and went to the treasure island to live temporarily.

In addition to accompanying "Rose" Wen Cun, he also went to pay New Year's greetings to Brother Luo, the two got drunk in the Taipei villa, and they were each helped back to the room by the woman It was another big battle.

Zhuang Sir cared about the matter of "TSMC" and learned that there was no problem with TSMC and that it had been put into R&D and production, so he didn't care too much.

The rest of the time is basically tired of being with roses.

No way, since "Rose" knew that Ami was pregnant, her mind was budding, and her two long legs wrapped around Zhuang Sir's waist every day, lying on Zhuang Sir's ear and licking it softly and saying, "To...".

She is clearly unwilling to be left behind, and she also wants to carry out the man-making movement!

The next day.

Morning.

Rose walked out of the kitchen with a breakfast and put it in the dining room of Kenting Villa.

Zhuang Shikai had just washed up and walked downstairs in his nightgown.

When he sat down at the table and picked up the fork, he immediately showed surprise: "Do you want to be so exaggerated?" ”

"Give me oysters early in the morning?"

Rose stood next to her with a glass of milk, and said with a smile: "Can you make up for your body......"

Zhuang Shikai picked up a few oysters and threw them into his mouth and laughed: "What do you mean? ”

"Seeing that you screamed so badly last night, I deliberately retracted my strength! But you roasted oysters for me? You don't want to live at night, do you? ”

"That's not what I meant......"

"I don't care what you mean! Go get me some more raw eggs! ”

Zhuang Shikai waved his big hand, Rose pursed his lips, turned around and went to get a few eggs, and helped Zhuang Sir knock a straight cup.

"No! Here you go! Rose handed the cup to Zhuang Shikai, Zhuang Shikai took the cup, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, and then put the cup on the table.

Breakfast had already been eaten by him.

He said with some resentment: "Why are you stronger than me lately? ”

"Do people miss you......" At this moment, the "first sister of the community" who dominated the two places gently shook his arm and coquettishly, Zhuang Sir trembled, and hurriedly took the milk next to him to hide his face and drink it.

This woman is really old and "like a wolf and a tiger"! If Zhuang Shikai hadn't had a little bit of physical fitness, he really wouldn't have been able to stand it like this!

However, roses are really getting better at playing.

The charm is also more and more attractive.

At this time, Zhuang Shikai put down the milk cup, and Rose suddenly remembered what was serious, and asked in a serious tone: "Shikai, I heard that the Macau government will release another gambling card recently..."

"You want to take that card?" Zhuang Shikai raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Gambling license" is the license for Macau to legally open a casino, because the Macau government issued a tender, the bidding requirements and the amount are extremely huge, which involves a lot of connections, the struggle of all parties.

After all, "gambling" is the biggest piece of cake in Macau, as long as you get a "gambling license", you can get a bite of the cake, and how big is Hong Kong Island in "gambling"? How big is Macau's potential?

Zhuang Sir is also a little interested in this.

Rose nodded and said, "Yes! ”

"My business in Treasure Island is not very large, and my annual income is only tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars."

But betting is different... Macau's gambling industry is also a serious business, and if I get this gambling license, I will become a wealthy woman in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan... It's just that it's a bit difficult. ”

"It's a rare opportunity, and I'm going to give it a try."

Zhuang Shikai fell into thought, and said with a slight bow: "Yes!" I have some connections in Macau! Let's say hello to Mr. Ho! ”

"Whether he wants it or not, he always has to give me face!"

"If you have any more trouble, come to me, and I'll help you solve it!"

Macau opened up gambling in 1847 and declared gambling legal, but it was called "gambling industry" in order to harvest the East Asian economy.

Of course, during this period, there was a mutual benefit between the government and the Australian people, and many welfare policies were given to the Australian people.

However, at the beginning of the gambling industry, the management was chaotic, there was a lack of supervision of various large and small gambling stalls, and there were also problems with taxation, in short, "there are no rules".

Therefore, in the 90th century and 50s, Macao began to implement a monopoly system for the gambling industry.

The government issues licences to businessmen through tenders, and only companies that are licensed by the government can operate on behalf of the government.

This license is called a "gambling license".

In 1962, Macau's "Mr. Ho" won the first degree card, and once monopolized the Macau gambling industry, and the Jianghu people called the "gambling king".

At this time, Macau has also become a "gambling port"! All kinds of gambling stalls and casinos in Macau are essentially subsidiaries of "Lisboa"! Because there is only one gambling card in Macau!

Then in the 70s, another license was issued, and there are currently two gambling licenses in Macau, and in the 80s, Macau is finally going to issue a third gambling license!

Since this gambling card "Rose" wants to do, Sir Zhuang will have to mix a hand, no matter whether Mr. He and Mr. Ye want to give face or not! This piece of face must be given!

This small island called "Macau" has another name - Hao River!

A name that exists only in the mouth of the coastal Chinese.

"Thank you, husband." Rose smiled sweetly on the side, stepped forward and kissed Zhuang Sir on the cheek, and the whole thing was attached to Zhuang Sir's body. Sir Zhuang wiped off his lipstick with some grievances, looked at her and asked, "Come again?" Just woke up! ”

"Waking up is the same as going to bed! Didn't you just eat enough? Rose winked and laughed.

……

The fifteenth day of the first month.

The Force has ended its leave.

The smell of the New Year is gradually dissipating.

People are going to get down to business.

Some people have to work hard for life, some people have to weigh the pros and cons for politics, and some people have to come out of the sheath and prepare to do great things.

Zhuang Shikai returned to Hong Kong Island, put on a suit and drove to work.

When he approached the Wan Chai Police Station, the police officers greeted him one after another.

"Zhuang sir early!"

"Morning!"

“good morning，sir。”

Zhuang Shikai smiled and nodded all the way, and took the elevator back to the office to sit down.

"Huh! It's a new year on! He opened his arms and looked out the window at the sun, a smile in his eyes.

At the same time, in the General Administration building, Lu Minghua, Yang Jinrong, Zeng Xiangrong and others also returned to their offices, pulled out chairs, and put their briefcases.

Lu Minghua just sat down and didn't even sit on his buttocks, so he picked up the phone and called Yang Jinrong and said, "Ah Rong, get ready to do something." ”

“yes，sir！” Yang Jinrong put down the phone, raised his hand to put up his glasses, and his eyes burst with determination!
