"Fuck, the tycoons in the Middle East are the tycoons in the Middle East. I saw someone talking about them on the Internet before. I didn't believe it. I thought they were bragging. But seeing them today has refreshed my understanding." Chen Fu whispered to Chen Chen Ran said.
“Look at how you look like you have never seen the world.” Chen Ran glared at him, telling him not to make a fool of himself in front of others.
"It sounds like you have seen him before. I guess you were so frightened by his money that you almost peed." Chen Fu rolled his eyes.
"It's okay." Chen Ran said lightly.
His family has an official career, and he has seen all kinds of leaders and outstanding businessmen. Chen Ran, who has seen big scenes since he was a child, will naturally not make as much fuss as Chen Fu.
"Sorry, sorry, I just came back from out of town."
"Ha, Hu, we meet again. I chatted with you so much on the phone that I couldn't help but come and see it in person."
At this moment, Hu Jian hurriedly ran in from outside. When Ali saw the other person, he enthusiastically went up and gave him a hug.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is relatively familiar. Hu Jian used to be in charge of Huade's business in the Middle East, and he also had many big customers, so that was why Chen Yifeng wanted to keep him.
“I visited several research institutes this time to check out materials, so I came late.” Hu Jian said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"How is it?" Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.
“It’s not ideal, but it’s not hopeless either.” Hu Jian smiled.
"Having hope is a good thing. I can wait because I believe in people who are honest." Ali did not show disappointment on his face, but looked more optimistic.
You can’t get the goods now anyway, so why bother?
“Didi.”
"I'm going to answer the phone."
At this moment, Chen Xi's cell phone suddenly rang. Seeing that the call was from Ma Yueling, he still walked to a deserted place and pressed the answer button. .
"Hey, Sister Ling."
"Bring your things and come to Macao."
"Huh? Okay."
"By the way, bring Shazhi with you. I haven't seen her for a long time." Ma Yueling seemed a little excited when she mentioned Shazhi.
"Okay." Chen Xi, who didn't know anything, subconsciously agreed.
"Keep your whereabouts secret, just say you are going to HK." Ma Yueling thought for a while and added.
“Understood, by the way, Sister Ling, I bought some things at the auction, and several people were competing for them. It was related to the sugar king...”
“Well, Let's bring the things back." Ma Yueling's words were always so clear and crisp, so Chen Xi had no choice but to nod.
Chen Xi is relatively familiar with the Macao region.
In his previous life, he visited all major casinos around the world. He had been to this place known as the Oriental Casino more than once.
"Chen Yifeng, Chairman of Huade Group, and Xu Jiaqiang of Hengxiao Group have joined forces to draw a new blueprint for the Tomorrow Square project.
The top executives of the two major groups announced a major cooperation yesterday. Both parties will work together to jointly develop the project. Reimagining the iconic Tomorrow Square project
He even included Qin Feilong and Wu Wanrong. It must be Qin Feilong, an old yin, who was afraid that I would not cooperate and would force me to be roasted. "Chen Yifeng held a newspaper with trembling hands.
Now he is about to be furious. He just thought of a way to crack it last night, and he hasn't asked Father Zhang Xuan to release the news today. Here He was already rear-ended.
“Damn it, damn it. Whose side is Qin Feilong on? I'm going to file a complaint with the leader... No, if I bother the superiors with such a trivial matter, they will definitely have thoughts about me..." Chen Yifeng thought about it and finally gave up the complaint. Plan.
After all, Qin Feilong and the one above are really one of his own, and he is just a dispensable businessman. He can still distinguish between them.
"It seems that this project must be done. If you don't cooperate. Qin Feilong's words will definitely have some ideas. But this is a loss-making business... No, I can't lose money alone, I want to spread the risk..." Chen Yifeng really couldn't think of any good way, so he could only decide to drag everyone around him into the water.
What the Xu family thought was absolutely correct. According to Chen Yifeng's personality of being a loyal Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist, he would definitely make this move.
Business is not going well, and my son is angry with me, which really makes me worried at all. I must find an opportunity to stop this kid from coming back.
Chen Yifeng gets angry when he thinks about what happened at the wedding that day. He has had a problem in the past.
That is, if something goes wrong in business, he will go home and scold Chen Xi.
Anyway, he can find various reasons to vent his anger. Sometimes when Chen Xi sits reading a book, he can find some inexplicable reason to educate his son.
Chen Caiyue often quarreled with Chen Yifeng over this matter. As a result, Chen Yifeng would always avoid the topic by saying: A loving mother often loses her son.
It’s better to deal with the matter of Tomorrow Square first. Anyway, the company that gave him the money will probably come to me in a few days and say that he doesn’t want it anymore, and then find an excuse to scold him, huh huh .
Chen Yifeng was confident in dealing with his son, but it was not so easy to deal with the Xu family.
Hilton Hotel.
"Hahaha, I guess Chen Yifeng has already seen the newspaper, and his lungs should be exploded. Let's give him a little more intensity." Yang Dingtian held a newspaper in his hand, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.
"Yeah." The Xu family didn't say anything and nodded lightly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xu Yun led a few middle-aged men in.
"Come on, Mr. Xu, let me introduce you. These are Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Ma... They have all been tricked by Chen Yifeng before..." Yang Dingtian rubbed his hands excitedly when he saw the visitor. Rub hands together.
On the second day, at the Macao Airport, a plane from Xinlu landed slowly.
The Macau Airport is located on the new island, which is currently under development. The surrounding area is desolate, which is somewhat incompatible with the prosperous old island casino in the movie.
Speaking of Ao District, its area is almost the size of a county town, but its economy is not bad. Of course, this money was also contributed by mainlanders.
Most movies about Macao are usually shot in the old island, where many famous attractions are also located. It is an old town where locals in Macao like to live. As for the new island, development has actually started a long time ago, but the progress is quite slow. When did it start to speed up? That was eleven years ago, after the return.
At that time, the Macao district government began to reclaim land from the sea, intending to solve the current situation of small area and difficulty in development, so the new district was created.
"Shazhi, why did you sneak to Chen Xin's house and not say hello to me?" In the car, Ma Yueling grabbed Shazhi's little hand and said with a smile on her face.
"Um...Sister Ling, it happened suddenly and I didn't have time..." Saori trembled and explained quickly.
"Don't do this again next time, otherwise I will worry." Ma Yueling pinched the girl's cheek.
"You guys have such a good relationship, just like real sisters." Chen Xi looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little happy.
Looking at the casinos outside the car, Chen Xi remembered that the casino opened by Parker and the He family here was also called Crown.
Later, they jointly formed the Boye Ao District, obtained the secondary card of the gambling license, and finally changed their name to the famous Melco, becoming one of several major departments in the Ao District.
The casinos in Ao District are completely different from those in Tu'ao. In terms of area, no casino in the entire Macao District, whether new or old, is as big as Tu'ao Crown. However, the decoration is still remarkable. Because Asians like to buy those luxurious things and put them on the facade, there are often some expensive works of art and wooden furniture that are priceless.
“This place is still under development and there are not many people. Basically, the people who come to the new area are high-quality customers. They care more about the environment and the hotel where they stay. The casinos in the old area are filled with older guests. Come on, the decoration of the hotel there is too old, and many people are not used to it..." Ma Yueling introduced the situation here to the four of them.
Compared to the old district, the casinos in the new district have a higher starting point.
In the old areas, there are many places where the minimum bet is ten yuan or twenty yuan. But in the new area, the threshold is very high. When these casinos first opened, they started with a starting price of 1,000 yuan.
However, as the threshold was high, there were naturally fewer customers. In the end, the casino had to modify the rules and opened a few small tables starting at 500 yuan.
After arriving, it will be a big change in technology. The emergence of live broadcast machines has brought a lot of income to the casino.
For example, Galaxy Casino is making money crazily by relying on live broadcast machines. The owner's net worth has also skyrocketed, and he will be called the new gambling king in the future.
"Sister Ling, the income in Macao doesn't seem to be very good, the competition is too fierce." Chen Xi remembered the casinos in Macao, where there were dozens of large and small, private Not counting the ones at the bottom, they are simply countless.
With so many venues opened in a county-sized area, no matter how many customers there are, it won’t be enough to split the money.
"Haha, the competition is indeed fierce, so it is impossible to operate with the income of the venue, so everyone has other businesses privately, and that is the profitable business..." Ma Yueling is rare She smiled, maybe because she was very happy to see Saori.
Judging from the surface income of casinos in Australia, even if half of the large casinos in Australia are combined, their income is not as much as that of Crown in Tu'ao.
Of course, this income is definitely not what it seems. After all, you still have to pay taxes.
As a result, other businesses were started with great enthusiasm by the casino owners.
What kind of business are you talking about?
There are many, such as money exchange, insurance, local employment, real estate investment, overseas asset allocation, business visa application, etc. Anyway, as long as you have money, everything can be done for you.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with these businesses. In fact, they are all huge profit-making projects. During this period, the income of some businesses may be higher than that of the casino.
Take money exchange as an example. If a customer wins money in a casino, he or she needs to take it back to the mainland. Or if a customer wants to exchange local money to play in the casino, he or she needs to find a place to process it.
In the early days of Australia, you would go to a pawn shop to exchange money. The exchange rate there was definitely much higher than that of a bank, and you could make a lot of money from it.
You will know who the bosses behind these pawn shops are.
Later, with the emergence of online payment, old men from Gan Province discovered business opportunities, and they formed a team and went to Australia to start a new profession, called the money exchange party.
It is to directly connect with customers instead of pawnshops and earn profits from handling fees through online transfer operations.
But this kind of profitable business is definitely attractive, and there is no operation skill. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, squat or walk a few more steps every day, you can make money.
Chinese people are all like this. As long as they see other people's profitable projects, they will rush to them. Since the emergence of the Gan Province Gang, then the Three Provinces Gang, and then the Guangdong Province Gang.
Of course, this gang or society is a name used by others for these people from different provinces.
When you go to the casino, nine out of ten lose money. So what should you do if you lose all your money and have no money?
Many warriors who lost their battles eventually became money-changers as a last resort.
This money exchange party also has a hierarchical and complete industrial chain, and provides goods, that is, the dealer of banknotes. There are also middlemen who go to purchase goods and are responsible for exchange and sales, and then there are shops responsible for collecting money at docks and other places, that is, foreign exchange shops.
The next step is real estate investment and overseas asset allocation. People who win a lot of money often find it easy to get money, so they buy a house here under the instigation of the casino. Or just get the money elsewhere through overseas asset allocation.
This thing is similar to a foreign exchange shop. It gives you a high-profile name outside, but privately it can also be called an underground bank.
There are also many weird businesses, which are similar to HK. As long as you have money, he can do anything you want.
"Hey, the limitations of history, no one thought it would develop like this at the time." Chen Xi said after listening to Ma Yueling's words.
"Gee, how long have you been back and you are still talking to me in Mandarin and the limitations of history." Ma Yueling was amused. Chen Xi's old-fashioned look matched that young face. , there is always the appearance of pretending to be X.
“There are more and more casinos around the world, and competition is becoming more and more fierce. The casinos with good performance here are still invested by the Grand Beautiful Sands. After all, they are owned by Global Casino. Boss, your management experience and technological updates are top-notch. I see that soon, the casinos run by old people in Australia will be gradually eliminated..." Ma Yueling held her chin in her hands and began to analyze the future of the gaming industry. trend.
It has to be said that the bosses behind the world's large casinos are all from the Big Beauty. Although this is Australia and the situation is extremely complicated, without their support, this Oriental Casino will also It ceases to exist.
The factors here are very complicated and cannot be explained in a few sentences.
"Sister Ling, there seems to be no one with the surname Ma in the casinos in this area. Why do you know so much about the gaming industry and have a position at Tu'ao Crown?" Chen Xi asked knowingly.
“You’re already here, and you still want to find out what I’m like? We’re here, let’s get off the car.” Ma Yueling chuckled lightly and pointed out the window.
Outside the car is a luxurious villa. The exterior wall is made of off-white stone, and the huge arched doorway is carved with complex and fine patterns, which not only demonstrates the noble status of the owner, but also maintains the artistic atmosphere.
The roof is covered with dark blue glazed tiles, which sparkle in the sun.
I have to say that the rich people in this area are different. They live and use extremely luxurious things. (End of chapter)
