"In civilian farms where there is no entry threshold, for every 100 yuan of gambling money we have, the casino only takes three to five yuan from it."

"As for the VIP rooms of our gambling boats, most of them are contracted by intermediaries on Hong Kong Island and Bay Island, who are responsible for introducing gamblers to the casino and taking intermediary fees from them."

"The transcoding rate here fluctuates between 20% ~ 50%, and this is also our characteristic here, the international practice of VIP casino revenue accounts for four to fifty percent of the total casino revenue, but we can do eighty percent of the gambling boat!"

On the fence on the second floor, Zhan Yongfei waved his arms and pointed to the gambling hall below to compare with Zheng Jirong and others.

Just a few dozen minutes ago, when Zheng Jirong got on the boat, he originally wanted to teach this kid a lesson, vent his anger for Qiu Zhuo, and help him make a gamble by the way.

As a result, I didn't expect this Zhan Yongfei to put his posture very low as soon as he saw him, not only sincerely apologized to Qiu Jie for his crimes, but also promised to compensate Qiu Jie for all the losses of his master and apprentice.

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, he is so knowledgeable that Zheng Jirong can't bear to do it.

"Since Mr. Zheng, your [Asia Star] was born, the passenger flow of Ao Island has been reduced by half, and now the land-based casinos are withering, and only gambling boats are the way out for the spinach industry!" Zhan Yongfei patted the railing and sighed at them.

"Mr. Zhan does have some ability", Zheng Jirong swept around the full VIP room, nodded secretly: "It stands to reason that the business of [Asia Star] should be hit the hardest by your small gambling boat, but I didn't expect your business to be so prosperous." ”

Zhan Yongfei smiled and explained: "Hahaha, Mr. Zheng doesn't know, when your gambling boat just opened, I still have some individual customers left in the ordinary hall here, as for the VIP room, which has been empty for more than a month, my hair is almost gone, but as I said before, I contracted a few VIP halls to intermediaries from all over the world at a high price, and these people have complex social relations, and they can give me a full number of guests almost every night." ”

After listening to his words, Zheng Jirong nodded thoughtfully, this kind of outsourcing gambling halls is not uncommon in later generations, the [Oriental Princess] in the original time and space, there are several gambling halls on it that are contracted by the Xin Yi'an Xiang brothers.

However, they don't only earn those intermediary fees, relying on the large amount of money in the casino is their ultimate goal, and in the process they can also make extra money by gambling on the bottom of the table, borrowing, and pumping money.

Using these simple means to directly turn other people's gambling boats into their own money-making tools, these brothers are indeed very smart.

However, such a commercial method is not suitable for [Asia Star], unlike Zhan Yongfei's gambling boat, under normal circumstances, the revenue of the [Asia Star] VIP room only accounts for 30% of the total revenue, and the remaining 70% of the income comes from the civilian hall and various services on board.

This is the healthiest casino revenue model, if you do it like Zhan Yongfei, as long as there is a problem in the VIP room one day, the gambling ship will fall directly into the point where it can't make ends meet, and the fault tolerance rate is too low.

And

Zheng Jirong bit his cigar and asked indifferently: "As the so-called big bullying shop, these guys who contract gambling halls have a large number of high rollers, and they directly grasp the economic lifeline of the gambling ship in their hands, in case you break up with them one day."

Zhan Yongfei's face stiffened when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhen Guanxi to see the drawbacks of this contracting system so quickly.

In fact, the fact is just as he said, the Hong Kong Island gangs who contracted his gambling hall are now not satisfied with hundreds of thousands of intermediary fees, and not long ago they came to Ao Island to renegotiate the contract with him.

And he can't refuse directly, during the negotiation, these guys revealed that if they didn't give it, they would take the guests to other casinos, which made him very passive now.

If he were an ordinary businessman, he could still send gunmen and thugs to intimidate and threaten, but the guy who contracted his casino had thousands of younger brothers, and he couldn't afford to provoke them at all.

Just when he was in trouble, Zhen Guanxi suddenly came.

"Mr. Zheng is high-minded," Zhan Yongfei sighed and said: "Just like you said, although the person in charge of the casino is me now, the person in charge has become the intermediary who holds the high rollers. ”

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "I hope Mr. Zheng can help me." ”

Zheng Jirong shook his head with a smile when he heard this, this guy is really good at beating snakes and sticks, and he is obviously here to trouble him this time.

He turned his head and looked at Zhan Yongfei who was bowing his head in front of him expressionlessly, "My brother was ruined by your family and has been in prison for ten years, and now you want me to help you Ajie, what do you think?" ”

Qiu Jie glared at Zhan Yongfei hatefully, and after being silent for a while, he spoke: "I listen to Brother Rong." ”

Zheng Jirong suddenly laughed dumbly, he patted Qiu Jie's shoulder helplessly, and said indifferently: "The [World Charity Poker King Tournament] will start in less than a month, do you know this?" ”

Zhan Yongfei wiped the sweat on his face, nodded hurriedly, and said, "I know!" I heard that even Gao Jin will participate in the competition this time. ”

"This time, the host is on Hong Kong Island, and the finals will be held on my gambling boat, and Applejack has already signed up"

Although Zheng Jirong's words were only half said, Zhan Yongfei instantly understood what he meant, and after a little thought, he said seriously: "Okay! I'm also participating this time! If I win Qiu Jie, I hope Mr. Zheng can help me drive away the villain. ”

"Small problem", Zheng Jirong bowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose: "If you lose, I want your ship. And your life. ”

"What?!" Zhan Yongfei hurriedly refused: "This is not fair! I'm not betting anymore! I don't need your help! ”

Zheng Jirong, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "Repentance? You want to trick me? ”

"No, no! It's just that your gambling chips are like." Zhan Yongfei wanted to speak and stopped.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, if you don't participate, I'll kill you tonight, and then I'll spend some money, and your ship is still mine."

After speaking, Zheng Jirong didn't wait for him to reply, and left the gambling hall directly with Qiu Jie and others.

Looking at their arrogant backs, Zhan Yongfei clenched the railing in his hand with a gloomy face, and Brother Pao, who had been standing silently beside him before, shouted unhappily at this time: "What the hell is the grass!" If it doesn't work, we'll fight with them in the west of the town! I'm going to take someone Biang with him now! ”

Syllable!

Zhan Yongfei slapped him violently, he glared at Brother Pao and said fiercely: "Shut up!" Put together? How to spell it? What to fight?! ”

He then pointed to a few of his subordinates around him and scolded angrily: "When Zhen Guanxi was here just now, why didn't any of you dare to stand up?!" ”

"Look at you, from top to bottom, is there anyone who isn't taking drugs? Fight for the fart! How do you spell it?! ”

"People are fighting with you with their lives, not with you!"

Brother Pao touched his swollen cheeks and defended: "Drugs are drugs, but we are still fighting as fiercely." ”

"You !!"

Zhan Yongfei took a deep breath and forcibly calmed down: "This matter is over here, no one will mention it in the future, and"

He snorted coldly: "I know exactly how much Qiu Jie has ability, if he really competes in gambling, this guy will never be able to win against me!" I'm going to win him once this time, so that Zhen Guanxi has nothing to say! ”

"And you too! Use your brains to do things in the future! Don't shout biang at every turn! If you want to biang, you can biang yourself! ”

“.”

Just when Zhan Yongfei was reprimanding his younger brother, the dock outside the gambling boat was also very unpeaceful.

As soon as Zheng Jirong got into the car, more than a dozen police cars rushed out of the dark corner on the side of the road and surrounded them tightly.

"Don't worry, let's see what tricks these ghosts want to play."

Dozens of seconds later, a large group of Ah SIR with the shield and police badge of the Portuguese and Macao Zhengfu tightly surrounded them, and each of them had opened their gun buckles, staring at Zheng Jirong and others in the center like a great enemy.

At this time, a ghost guy in white clothes walked to the car and said in a deep voice: "I am Superintendent Santos of the Police Division, and we now suspect that Mr. Zheng is related to a kidnapping and murder case, this is an arrest warrant, please get out of the car now!" ”

Zheng Jirong calmly glanced at the crooked foreign text on the arrest warrant, shook his head and sneered: "What kind of bullshit is written, Lao Tzu is illiterate." ”

"Mr. Zheng", Santos frowned, and said seriously: "There was a small-scale shootout in a villa in the new city this morning, and more than a dozen corpses and a headless male corpse were found at the scene. ”

He raised his hand and pointed to Li Xiangdong in the driver's seat, and said in a deep voice: "And the surveillance also took a photo of you smoking a cigar in the car and waiting for them, do you want to arrest?!" ”

After speaking, all the police officers around him pulled out their pistols and pointed their guns at Zheng Jirong and others.

"Whoa"

Zheng Jirong raised his hands, bit his cigar and smiled calmly: "Mr. Santos must have recognized the wrong person, why don't you call again?" ”

He looked at the crowd outside the window, then looked at Santos and said, "You must not have reported to the leader this time, I advise you to make a phone call first, otherwise"

"I'm getting off the car, and you're getting off the post."

Santos's face turned black when he heard this, and he was about to open the car door to violently arrest him, when there was a sudden commotion outside the crowd.

A man in a suit and leather shoes led a group of ghosts in, and he pointed at Santos and shouted, "Stop! You've caught the wrong person! ”

He walked to the front of the car, first smiled at Zheng Jirong, and then stared at Santos with a frosty face and shouted, "Who gave you the right to bring someone to arrest Mr. Zheng?" ”

Santos was about to retort when the man scolded again: "I have violated the superintendent's rules and abused my authority, I can remove you from your post now!" ”

Then the ghost guy behind him directly stepped forward and pulled away the ashen Santos, and also withdrew the surrounding police officers, leaving only a large group of citizens who were watching and eating melons.

"I'm sorry Mr. Zheng, this Santos him."

"Hey, it's all a misunderstanding, I can understand it, I haven't asked for advice yet?" Zheng Jirong stretched out his hand.

"In Xia Ho'an, he is currently the deputy director of the police department."

Zheng Jirong glanced at him in surprise, this He An looked about the same age as him, but he didn't expect his status to be so high.

After the two exchanged a few words, He An took people to leave directly, and when he left, he also thanked Zheng Jirong twice, thanking him for his contribution to the security of Ao Island

Obviously, He Xin, a bastard, has long angered the He family by supporting the society in private, and it seems that he is preparing to find an opportunity to clean him up, but these have nothing to do with Zheng Jirong.

When he was about to tell Li Xiangdong to drive away, Zheng Jirong looked at the citizens of Ao Island on the three floors outside the window, his heart moved, he threw away his cigar, put on gold-wire glasses, and directly pulled the car door and walked down.

Under the maintenance of his subordinates, he walked up to the citizens with a smile on his face and smiled gently:

"Citizens and friends, I'm sorry, the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish."

"Zheng Jirong on Lower Hong Kong Island, because we happened to be at the scene when the Broken Tooth Pony died, so we were mistaken by the police for the murderer."

"Speaking of which, I apologize to you here because I delayed a lot of time."

The onlookers suddenly boiled after hearing his words, on the one hand, they were surprised that the evil Broken Tooth Pony had finally died, and on the other hand, they were surprised that the man in front of them turned out to be the famous Hong Kong Island tycoon.

"Mr. Zheng, did you solve the problem of Broken Tooth Pony?"

"Yes, Mr. Zheng, you have done so many good things on Hong Kong Island, did you come to Ao Island this time specifically to get rid of Broken Tooth Pony!"

“……”

Faced with everyone's doubts, Zheng Jirong did not answer, he shook his head and smiled, then waved his hand and returned to the car.
