Chapter 874: The Enemy Meets
Next to arrive were Jimmy, the white gambling king of the Eagle Country, and Jack Sue, the Chinese gambling king of the Kangaroo Country.
Both of these people are professional gamblers, and neither power nor wealth is comparable to Abdul and others. They reached the finals with their superb gambling skills, among them, Jimmy was the champion of the World Gambling Championship the year before, and Jack Sue was the champion of the World Gambling Championship last year.
Both men are not very old, Jimmy is 35 years old this year, and Jack Sue is only 28 years old.
These two men are not only young, but also very handsome, and they are two of the most handsome of the ten VIPs who participated in the finals today.
The style of their appearance is far less big than the distinguished guests in front of them, they all came alone, and they didn't even bring an assistant or bodyguard.
After Qian Weihao politely sent the two into the casino, he returned to the door of the casino again, waiting to welcome the last distinguished guests.
He raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and saw that it was already 8:50.
"There are still ten minutes left, and the final will officially begin, why haven't Leonardo and Ye Hao arrived yet?"
Qian Weihao frowned.
The Leonardo that Qian Weihao is talking about is a white casino tycoon from Las Vegas, USA.
Leonardo has a strong presence in North America, controlling most of the casinos in North America, and also has a stake in many other large casinos around the world. In addition to being a world-class casino tycoon, he has also invested in many high-tech enterprises in the United States and is a shareholder of many well-known high-tech listed companies.
Leonardo earns more money every year than the GDP of a small country!
Not only that, but he also maintains close ties with political leaders, military, and gangsters in many countries around the world, and has great influence in the international community.
It can be said that among the distinguished guests present today, Leonardo is the most powerful one in terms of wealth and power.
Even if Abdul saw him, he had to concede three points.
The time is about to reach 9 o'clock, but Leonardo and Ye Hao, the two most special VIPs, still haven't shown up for a long time, which makes Qian Weihao feel very irritable and uneasy.
"Qian Dong, do you want me to urge them?"
Tian Wanjin said on the side.
"This ......"
Qian Weihao hesitated slightly.
At this time, Mark next to him suddenly pointed ahead and said,
"Qian Dong, look, Leonardo is here!"
Qian Weihao looked up, and sure enough, he saw a large group of people walking towards this side.
The one at the head is none other than Leonardo!
Leonardo was a tall white man, about sixty years old. He had two thick, dense sword eyebrows, and his brows were tightly pressed together, as if he had been thinking about some serious question. He has a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon, not angry but mighty, full of unruly momentum.
Don't look at his age, but because he is well maintained and regularly exercises, he looks more robust and energetic than ordinary young people. At the same time, because of his frequent sunbathing, his skin takes on a shiny bronz. These factors make him look much younger than his actual age. When many people first met Leonardo, they thought he was only in his forties.
As soon as Qian Weihao saw Leonardo, he said angrily,
"Leonardo, you're really stuck in time! There are five minutes left, and the game is about to start!"
Although Leonardo was the most powerful of the VIPs participating in the finals, Qian Weihao's attitude towards him was the coldest.
This is because Qian Weihao has a grudge against Leonardo.
More than 10 years ago, when Qian Weihao was just starting out, he once opened a casino in Las Vegas. In those days, Leonardo's power was much greater than that of Qian Weihao. Casinos in Las Vegas, large and small, are almost all under the direct or indirect control of Leonardo.
At that time, Qian Weihao was in the prime of life, arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't take anyone seriously.
When he opened the casino, he neither had Leonardo's permission nor given Leonardo 30% of the shares in accordance with the rules. Leonardo was furious because of this, and on the opening day of Qian Weihao's casino, he sent a large group of people to find trouble, threatening to smash Qian Weihao's casino, and even publicly threatened to kill him.
At that time, Qian Weihao was just a newcomer to the casino industry, and he was unable to compete with giants like Leonardo on his own. After a few clashes, his casino was on the verge of closure and was about to close its doors. He himself was constantly being chased and killed by Leonardo's men, and he hid in Tibet every day, and he couldn't live in fear.
Qian Weihao was helpless, so he had to ask for help again from the benefactor who helped him make his fortune.
His benefactor is powerful and powerful. Through the pressure of the benefactor, Leonardo was forced to let Qian Weihao go and allow Qian Weihao's casino to continue operating in Las Vegas.
However, the grievances between Leonardo and Qian Weihao not only did not subside because of this, but with a series of conflicts that occurred later, they became deeper and deeper.
It was from that time on, in order to protect himself, Qian Weihao officially worshiped under the door of the benefactor and became the loyal lackey of the benefactor.
Qian Weihao's benefactor is the ninth-generation heir of the famous Morgan family in the United States, George Morgan.
The Morgan family is rich enough to rival the country, and the wealth is too much to count. In the United States, and even in the world, the Morgan family is the premier super chaebol family. The influence of the Morgan family has penetrated into all walks of life, covering five continents and four oceans, and is powerful enough to influence the direction of the world pattern.
Although George Morgan has deliberately faded from the public eye in recent decades and has been deeply hidden behind the scenes, his identity as the heir to the Morgan family still attracts the attention of the world.
However, almost no one knows that Morgan has another secret identity that is even more powerful than the heir of the Morgan family, that is, the newest high priest of the Freemasons.
The world only knows that the Morgan family is very powerful, but no one knows that the mysterious Tongmasonry is actually a behemoth many times more terrifying than the Morgan family.
Morgan, a high priest of the Freemasons, was not a philanthropist.
On the contrary, Morgan is brutal and ruthless by nature, and is an out-and-out bloodthirsty profit-seeker.
The reason why Morgan was willing to help Qian Weihao was not because he sympathized with Qian Weihao's suffering, but because he took a fancy to Qian Weihao's personal ability and development potential. He wants to use Qian Weihao's minion to gradually encroach on the Las Vegas gambling industry under the control of Leonardo.
Since joining the Tongmasons Society, Qian Weihao has indeed lived up to Morgan's expectations of him.
With the covert support of Morgan, Qian Weihao soon became prosperous in Las Vegas and occupied a large market share.
In recent years, Qian Weihao has used his identity as a Chinese-American mixed-race child to expand the casino business to Ao Island in China. His gambling business on Ao Island is getting bigger and bigger, even outpacing his business in Las Vegas. Even He Housheng, the old gambling king on Ao Island, is difficult to restrain him.
However, despite the rapid development of Qian Weihao's casino business, Leonardo still occupies the largest market share in the global gambling industry from the perspective of the global pattern.
