Crown Casino Manila is not ranked among the regular casinos in the Philippines in terms of scale and interior decoration, but it has a jaw-dropping revenue.

But anyone familiar with the inside story of the Philippine casino knows that the Crown Casino is not what it says it is.

The Crown Casino belongs to an American entertainment group, but in fact it is controlled by Alcante, which started in the Todo district.

The Philippines is not a tourist country, so even if casinos are legalized, there is no way to attract much traffic.

There is a well-known law about casinos, that is, casinos that rely on local people to support will cause a devastating blow to the local security ecology, and sooner or later they will close down.

The world's famous casinos, such as Las Vegas, Macau, Monaco and other places, although they are all engaged in gambling business, but when they actually advertise, they use tourism as an entry point.

And the gambling syndicates in these places are indeed willing to work on tourist facilities, and most importantly, they are willing to work on public security issues and entertainment projects.

The Philippines does not have such conditions, because the economic situation in Southeast Asia is very average, the tourist population is insufficient, and there is a poor law and order situation, so no matter how hard those gambling groups try, they will not be able to make a lot of money like those giants.

Casino bonuses from the tourist population aside, it is well known that one of the most important revenue items for casinos is money laundering......

Money laundering can take many forms, and some people rely on winnings to launder money......

This method is to transfer money to the casino through secret channels and then have a specific person win the money at the casino.

Gambling wins are not an exception, and after paying taxes, it is clean money.

There is also a more fucked up, which is to launder money by losing money......

That is, negotiate with the casino in advance, I will lose the money to you, you take your handling fee, and the rest of the money will go through your funding channel, responsible for helping me transfer the rest of the money to the place I designate.

In the early years, Boss Qiao heard similar legends in his hometown, such as how many billions of dollars Boss lost in a few days, and after he came back, he sold the real estate factory and then declared bankruptcy, and all kinds of debts were relied upon.

At first, everyone thought that this guy was unreliable, but after a few years, they would find that the boss's whole family lived abroad, and his life was not bad at all.

People have completed an earth-shaking transformation in the stage of cooking oil and flowers in the fire, and the people who are cheated will only scold him for being unreliable, but they will not say that he is a liar.

The most exaggerated one is somewhat similar to the cross-border capital market......

A bunch of rich people who don't dare to spend it, or who are more strictly regulated, give money to the casino, or a specific person......

Then no matter how much money they have saved, they can spend it abroad, and even buy a house, a car, a plane, and a yacht.

This kind of business is relatively low because of the grade of customers, and the starting point is a bit similar to a Ponzi scheme, when the economy is good, there is no problem, once the economy is low, it is easy to thunder, and even involves more sensitive issues.

The largest demand for money laundering in Asia is basically concentrated in China, but those people will definitely not let Macau go to the Philippines, because everyone's financial system is not connected.

So the Philippine casinos are actually not having a good time, but the crown casino, which seems to be basically not very profitable, has a unique profit model.

Alcante, as the umbrella of the underground casino crime syndicate in Manila, collects a huge annual franchise protection fee, and also uses the casino's capital flow to launder money for the pirate tycoon Faiz.

There are actually not many customers in the crown casino, and the service is very average, so that it can be convenient for those bastards to instigate the pigs that were finally deceived to transfer to the more exciting underground casino......

But inside the unknown casino, there are machines and tables that operate 24 hours a day, and a large amount of money is transferred to foreign accounts through the casino's account.

Today it's a little bit different......

Alkante got the news that the property of the Lin family's uncle and nephew in Chinatown had been swept away, and a batch of 'protection money' that was supposed to be sent today was robbed.

At the same time, a number of underground casinos were swept away, and the people who acted acted very professionally, and every time the police rushed over, they could only clean up the scene, and no clues were obtained.

Mr. Alcante called the top brass in Manila to inquire about the news, but the person either did not answer the phone or did not speak clearly.

This made the black boss who had experienced strong winds and waves have a little bad guess, and he felt that someone must have bought off the upper echelons of Manila and wanted to steal business with him.

At this time, the best thing to do is to find a low-key place to hide and see the situation, at least to know who the opponent is to facilitate the response.

However, the most important thing for the Black Boss is face, and the Crown Casino cannot afford to lose, which forces Alcante to concentrate his efforts while asking around what is going on......

At this time, the big guy who really knows the inside story won't tell him, and the people below are in the fog.

Alcante couldn't imagine that a big man like Boss Joe would target a 'small business' like an underground casino that only needs the police to come forward to clean up......

What is he trying to do?

"Boss, the situation seems to be a little wrong, the people of the 'Blood Spider' want to evacuate ......"

Alcante, who was sitting in the office, looked at his subordinates who rushed in, he smiled and motioned to his subordinates not to be nervous, and then with some difficulty he stood up with his fat body, and waved his hand to let everyone else in the office sit down......

Then he personally walked to his subordinate's side, put his arm around his shoulders and walked to the bathroom, while saying with a smile: "Don't be nervous, say slowly, why do the people of the 'Blood Spider' want to retreat?" ”

The subordinate wearing a floral shirt and a big gold watch swallowed and said, "They said that they saw some people they couldn't mess with, so they refunded the commission......"

"Someone you can't mess with? Who? ”

The subordinate gasped for breath and said, "I don't know, they won't say ......"

Alkante walked to the door of the bathroom, suddenly reached out and pressed his man's neck, put his head against the door frame of the bathroom, and then grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door hard......

"You don't know anything the fuck, why don't you knock on the door?"

It wasn't until he smashed his men and fainted that Alkante looked back at the silent upper echelons of the office......

"Someone is eyeing us, call the police, contact the mercenary intermediary by the way, I want more people waiting for orders......

The 'Blood Spider' can't happen again! ”

Saying that, Alkante grinned a few gold teeth, and shouted with a hideous expression: "Hurry up, all move......"

When all his men had left the office, leaving only a few bodyguards present, Alkante sat heavily in his chair and pulled a satellite phone out of a drawer......

"Boss, I don't know what's going on, but I seem to be in trouble and someone wants to attack the Crown Casino......"

…………………………

In the San Miguel Embassy District in Manila, Aaron completed today's workout with the help of assistant Mahon......

He was just about to go into the bathroom to take a shower when he received a call from an unknown number.

After listening to it for a few seconds, Aaron said inexplicably: "Mr. Faiz, I have just arrived in Manila for a short time......

I'm certainly well-informed, but I'm not a fucking jack of all trades!

The deal is organized by me, but it's up to you to get involved or not.

This is a bidding deal in itself, and you're not the only buyer, so please be polite. ”

“……………………”

"I'm only responsible for transaction security, but not for other issues, how the fuck do I know what's going on in Manila?

What does a gang have to do with me? ”

“……………………”

"The 'Blood Spiders' are registered mercenaries of international intermediaries, but we are in a cooperative relationship, they are not slaves of international intermediaries, they will naturally pay a price for breach of contract, and there is a clear indemnity clause in the contract.

Mr. Faiz, you called me on purpose, certainly not to complain, to tell me what exactly you want to do?

Our time is precious! ”

“……………………”

Aaron hung up the phone after listening, and then gritted his teeth and dialed Boss Joe's satellite phone......

…………………………

Joga had already led the team to the gate of the Crown Casino at this time......

Four Telos carts, covered with tarpaulins, slowly followed behind them with terrifying weapons.

At this point in the morning, there were basically no customers in the casino, and a few sleepy-eyed hostesses were standing in the lobby dozing.

Joga reached out and patted Dorian on the shoulder, and was about to push the door into the lobby to let the attendants retreat first, when he was surprised to see a group of people waving white flags and slowly walking down the second floor along the atmospheric curved staircase......

Seeing those guys raising their hands and trying to show their harmless appearance, Qiao Jia frowned and said, "FUCK, what's going on?" ”

Dorian in front of him suddenly said in a deep voice: "Boss, it's the 'blood spider', we have met them in Italy and Niger. ”

Joga remembered at this time, and before he could figure out how to deal with the situation, Aaron's phone called......

Looking at the familiar number on the phone, Qiao Jia picked it up and said angrily: "What's the matter?" I'm fucking busy! ”

"Jackal, are you bastard crazy?

Aren't you here to make a deal?

What are you doing with Alcante?

That guy is just a small character, and if you scare Faiz away, you won't be able to catch a big fish! ”

When Qiao Jia heard this, he said unhappily: "Lao Tzu is happy, can you manage it?"

What about Faiz running away?

As long as he exists, my contract with the Philippines will have a basis for existence, and I will be able to fucking drive a big ship around the Sulu Sea......

You're honestly doing your own thing......

I warn you, that 'Mountain Eagle' is a ruthless character, he is assigned through an international agency, and if you don't give him an explanation, you will sleep with one eye open in the future......"

Aaron was stunned for a moment, and said nervously: "No, I've looked at their resumes, and that guy and his two old man companions haven't done anything big......"

Qiao Jia sneered and said, "If you apologize to me for your attitude just now, I will help you say a few words, otherwise, hum ......"
