Chapter 384 The richest man being questioned
In the Crown surveillance room.
This is Chen Xi’s first time visiting a place like this in Casino.
I have only seen it in movies before. Compared with the scenes in those Hong Kong movies, this place looks very different.
Well, the employees responsible for monitoring here are not ghosts, but all Asians, who look more like Filipino soldiers.
There are several screens in front of everyone, all with various pictures on them. Basically every corner of the Crown is within their surveillance range.
The eyes of these people were like scanners, constantly passing over the screen. Chen Xi doubted whether these guys could see what was on it clearly.
Ma Yueling told him that these people were all professionally trained, and the entire Crown surveillance was blind spot. Ma Yueling called a few employees and talked to them a lot. On a large display screen, it was quickly divided into several screens, and Li Yuqing, Shi Tao and others appeared on it.
When he saw Li Yuqing, Chen Xi was shocked.
Because the chips in front of her had piled up like a mountain, Li Yuqing's face was flushed at this time. She was not as submissive as before, but was extremely excited.
She and the gamblers next to her started shouting loudly. If there weren't so many people, Chen Xi suspected that she would jump directly onto the table.
The chips in front of Li Yuqing are almost millions.
Although Shi Tao's side is a little worse, it still has a lot of numbers.
About half an hour later, Li Yuqing's good luck seemed to have run out, and she began to lose money continuously. The chips originally accumulated in Switzerland gradually began to dwindle.
Her mood also began to become irritable, and she cursed with a red face, no different from other gamblers who had lost.
The worst thing is Shi Tao. He didn't win as much as Li Yuqing. Now he has returned to the starting point and continues to lose money.
Ma Yueling kept directing the surrounding employees, and the picture began to change.
Several Chinese people were immediately targeted. It was the men who brought Li Yuqing into Casino before.
These men were very calm. Seeing that Li Yuqing and others lost money, they did not panic at all, but smiled on their faces.
After seeing the expressions of these people, Ma Yueling narrowed her eyes.
She took the laptop handed to her by the assistant next to her and started typing on it.
AUSTRAC.
Crown Chairman Parker is sitting in a conference room. Opposite him, five or six staff members in crisp suits are holding several documents and are interrogating him in detail.
"According to the documents provided by Crown, you cannot prove that you have nothing to do with these cases, and we already have sufficient evidence to confirm that the Crown Group is suspected of rice laundering..." A man wearing glasses looked at Parker spoke word by word.
"According to statistics, in the past few months, the amount of rice washing at Crown Casino has reached hundreds of millions of Australian dollars..." A woman next to her lowered her head and looked at the document, and kept listing specific details. amount.
"The amount in the past was even more astonishing. This amount is more than enough to build several aircraft carriers..." Another man said with a smile.
"All our accounts are clear, the exchange of chips and the payment of money are all recorded, and we have provided those people's bank card information to you." Parker's expression was ugly, and the other party He was talking about things, some were clear and some were unclear.
As for washing rice, which casino has not done this?
After so many years, these guys in front of me suddenly opened up old scores, obviously with ulterior motives.
It would be simply impossible for Casino to maintain its business solely by relying on serious pumping business.
Anyone who works in this industry will deal with people of different identities, and there are many issues involved.
Just like what the man just said, Parker not only knew about some of the rice washing incidents in the past, but also authorized him, but he had no idea about this incident at all.
He has found the suspects and told the officials all the information. Instead of arresting them, these guys called him here for interrogation, with only one purpose, and that was to force him to have an abortion.
"What do you want?" Parker looked at the people opposite with a cold face.
“Crown’s development to its current scale is inseparable from official support. The gaming industry can promote regional tourism consumption...”
“In recent years, the Crown Group has paid less and less taxes to the Victoria state government... It has gone from hundreds of billions to tens of billions, and now it has increased to several billions. Do you think we are all fools? Finally, What’s ridiculous is that you actually went to court this month to restore tax deductions. "Excuse me, do you think the ATO (Tu and Australia Tax) are all blind?"
"What, are you trying to find an excuse to arrest me?" Parker sneered. , he bet that Victoria officials would not do such a stupid thing.
If he is kicked off, Crown will be in chaos, and billions of taxes will be gone.
"This matter is actually easy to solve. Just find someone to take the blame. As for the distribution of other benefits, we can re-divide..."
"Look for someone to take the blame? Who?" Many high-level figures began to appear in Parker's mind, and he didn't know which one to choose to take the blame.
"Arlene, that woman from Australia, we discussed it and she is the best candidate to take the blame. She is not from Australia. What do you think?" The man looked at Parker with a smile.
"No, she can't move..." Parker shook his head without thinking. Not only did the Ma family have shares in Crown, he also had business in Australia.
If Ma Yueling is sold, doesn’t he cut off his arm?
"Arlene has a lot of shares in Crown. If we get rid of her, we can all share it..." The man continued to seduce Parker.
To be honest, this idea is very good. Someone will take the blame and you can get nearly 20% of the shares. It is indeed the best choice.
"I think you should just run the business in Tu'ao honestly. Your status is not that easy to use abroad."
"In fact, if your ambitions are not so big, the official will fully support you in Xicun To open a new Casino, it’s a pity that you have to go to other countries to develop.”
As Parker listened to the words of these people, dissatisfaction gradually accumulated in his heart. As the richest man in Tu'ao, he has a distinguished status. However, at this moment, he seems to be a clown in front of these people. Their words have no respect and are full of ridicule and contempt.
What to do?
Give up on Ma Yueling?
The Ma family will definitely take revenge on him. Let alone Australia, it will probably be difficult to do so in the beautiful country.
The Ma family is very powerful. Not only does it have deep-rooted relationships in the beautiful country, but even the current speaker is related to them.
These people proposed to let Ma Yueling take the blame when they came up. They didn't even ask if there were other candidates. It was obvious that they had planned it long ago.
The purpose should be to make it difficult for him to survive abroad, and then vigorously develop the gaming industry in Tu'ao, so that it can become an official cash machine.
Because casinos are opened abroad, the local and Australian officials cannot make a dime at all.
Parker frowned, crossed his hands together, and fell into deep thought.
The person opposite did not urge him, but looked at each other with a smile on his lips, as if waiting for his reaction.
The words of these people made Parker feel angry and funny.
If he doesn’t go abroad to develop, the official will support him to open a casino in Xicun.
It's just fart!
He has always wanted to open a casino in Xicun, but Tuao, like the beautiful country, is divided into several states.
There is already a casino in Xi Village. In order to avoid competition, local officials have refused to let Parker enter. Then he went to Australia to do business with the beautiful country.
Now he is saying some funny things here, completely making him look like a fool.
In short, people in Victoria just want money. Crown’s tax payments have decreased in recent years, and they are beginning to become dissatisfied and want to get rid of him.
Crown control room.
Chen Xi looked at Li Yuqing on the screen and saw her scratching her head and ears, looking restless.
The previous indomitable momentum has long gone, replaced by full of annoyance and irritability.
Looking at her like this, Chen Xi couldn’t help but feel a little funny.
This was the first time he saw Li Yuqing gambling at Casino. She seemed to have never even touched playing cards before. The only time he saw her gambling was at the mahjong table in Jiangcheng. And I played with friends.
What on earth is Ma Yueling doing?
Why don’t you arrest people?
Looking at the woman over there who was still busy in front of the computer, Chen Xi was a little confused as to what she was doing.
At this moment, several men on the screen began to make moves.
They seemed to have received some kind of signal at the same time, and they all took out their mobile phones from their pockets, and their fingers jumped quickly on the keyboard, obviously sending text messages non-stop.
Ma Yueling stared at the screen, then waved to the person next to her.
It didn’t take long for Crown’s accounting office to welcome a new group of staff.
They took over the original employees in an orderly manner, and the original employees were summoned to a conference room.
At this time, Parker was holding his mobile phone and looking at the screen with an indifferent expression.
The group of people opposite. They stared at him with some displeasure, but they did not urge him.
As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This made the richest man in Tu'ao angry. If he did something impulsive in anger, it would be bad.
After half an hour, Shi Tao was the first to lose all.
He stood up and cast his eyes unconsciously towards Li Yuqing, feeling an impulse in his heart to walk over and understand the situation.
However, at this moment, a light cough broke the silence.
He turned around and saw a man next to him winking at him, signaling him to leave quickly.
Shi Tao gritted his teeth. Although he was filled with reluctance, he could only turn around and leave helplessly.
He walked out of the VIP room, immediately took out his mobile phone and started sending text messages to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi kept staring at the screen and had already noticed Shi Tao's unusual behavior.
When the phone in his pocket vibrated, he quickly took it out to check.
A message from Shi Tao was displayed on the screen, asking him what to do next.
Chen Xi turned to look at Ma Yueling, with a trace of confusion on his face.
He didn't know how to deal with it now, so he could only let Shi Tao stay where he was for the time being and wait for further news.
