Chapter 510: A Bunch of Robbers
Walking into the Bird cage Hotel, what catches your eye is an embroidery that is more than three meters high and 28 meters wide.
The embroidery name is "Goldfish", embroidered on 35 goldfish of different sizes, the largest goldfish, the head is the size of a small round table, known as "the largest embroidered fish since ancient times".
The Grand Hotel is the main symbol of Macau as the Monte Carlo of the East.
This is a complete tourism, entertainment and gambling complex, which can provide tourists with transportation, sightseeing, guest rooms, shopping, banking and other consumer services and various types of entertainment projects, just like a small but complete social entity.
In terms of tourism services, there are dozens of shopping malls of all sizes inside, with a complete range of goods, a dazzling array of goods, and a thriving business of tea houses and restaurants. In terms of entertainment, there are mainly game consoles, fitness balls, etc.
At the entrance of the hall, there is a small awakening card, which reads: gambling is not guaranteed to win, light gambling can be pleasant, spare money to play endurance, and keep entertaining.
On the third floor of the hotel is a restaurant that gathers international cuisines, where you can enjoy the delicacies of any cuisine you want to eat, carefully prepared by top chefs.
When Li Yi and the others arrived, He Zhenhua and the others had already held eight banquets, waiting for Li Yi to arrive.
In the usually full hotel restaurant, except for these eight seats, there is no one to eat.
The gambling king chartered the venue and invited distinguished guests! It's an honor!
He Zhenhua is sixty years old, and he looks kind and kind, which is completely different from what Li Yi and others imagined.
Rao Ruoxi obviously didn't expect the gambling king to be such an amiable person, so she couldn't help but put her mind at ease.
He Zhenhua didn't have any shelves, he was wearing a decent navy blue suit, he was very gentlemanly, and he looked more like a university professor.
"Hello, Dr. Ho." Rao Ruoxi knew about this gambling king before he came, and knew that he didn't like others to call him the gambling king, but he liked people to call him a doctor.
He Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Miss Rao is very young!" ”
Next, the two sides introduced each other's friends, and what was surprising was that He Zhenhua actually had four wives, and they were all legal husband and wife, and they all attended today.
Li Yi thought to himself, looking at this frame, it doesn't look like a Hongmen banquet! Could it be that the current gambling king has adopted his heart? Temper for the better? Or do you know too little about these people?
After sitting down, Rao Ruoxi said: "Dr. He, you are a senior, I am a junior, I came to open a casino to do business, I don't know the rules, I didn't go to the meeting, but I was very grateful to you for a banquet, but I am also very afraid." ”
He Zhenhua said with a smile: "The business on this shijie can't be done, and the casino business is even more difficult to eat alone!" As long as you have the ability, you can come here to make money. Miss Rao is so capable at a young age, it can be seen that she is not an ordinary person! I am a landlord, and entertaining distinguished guests from afar is also a friendship! ”
Rao Ruoxi said: "If you haven't learned yet, please take care of Dr. He." ”
He Zhenhua said: "Miss Rao has been in the local area for a while, can you know the rules of the road?" ”
Li Yi's eyelids jumped, thinking that this sounded a bit like a river and lake.
Rao Ruoxi said: "Rules? The gaming license has been completed, and the procedures that should be done have been completed. Just wait for the gambling boat to come back and complete the transformation, and then you can choose a day to open. ”
He Zhenhua smiled: "It's a good formalities!" Those procedures of yours are all on the surface, they are on Yangguan Road, right? ”
Rao Ruoxi said: "It's all official." Listening to Dr. Ho, what other formalities have I not completed? ”
He Zhenhua said: "Miss Rao, think about it, how many people come to Macao every day to participate in gambling? How much does it earn each year? With such a large amount of money, if we only rely on the people on the official face to cover it, do you think we can still get mixed up? ”
A flat-headed middle-aged man sitting next to him said: "That's ah, the casino land, dragons and snakes are mixed, what kind of people don't have it?" What can you do with relying on the gang of people in the judicial police? Even if someone on the street was hacked to death outside, they would shrink into the bed and dare not come out. ”
“haha!” A burst of unscrupulous daxiao erupted in the restaurant.
He Zhenhua said: "It's not as exaggerated as Ah Liang said, but friends on the rivers and lakes also have to beg for food!" With so many brothers in the rivers and lakes maintaining the normal operation of these business venues, we businessmen naturally have to give them some benefits to support their families! ”
The Ah Liang loosened the buttons of his clothes, revealing a thumb-thick gold necklace around his neck, and a long scar. The scar hung like a snake around his neck, reaching deep into his chest, and it was shocking, and the colorful tattoos were faintly visible on his chest.
Ah Liang cocked the thumb of his right hand, skimmed it behind his head, and said, "It's not me who scares you, Miss Rao, you are young and have never seen a big scene." More than ten years ago, which piece of land on these streets was not stained with the blood of my brothers? In order to fight for turf and collect protection money, one day not him. How many people are hacked to death? ”
He Zhenhua said: "Ah Liang, it's been ninety-nine years now, don't mention the affairs of the old generations." ”
Ah Liang sneered: "The heroes don't mention the courage of the year, but the draft can't forget the well diggers!" Now Macau can have the current situation, it is all brothers who worked hard and exchanged their lives for it, how many gangs were there at that time? At least twenty or thirty, right? It's a fight all day long, and the blood is so loud that the sea water is dyed red! ”
Rao Ruoxi was terrified when she heard this, thinking that this is the true face of these people, right?
Li Yi also heard the taste, there is no good banquet, today's banquet, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get out!
There are four people from Li Yi's side, except for Li Yi and Rao Ruoxi, they are Qian Duo and Xiao Lotus. Xiaohe and Shangguan Jin accompanied Lin Xin at home. Li Yi knew that today's banquet would not be simple, so he didn't let Lin Xin follow.
He Zhenhua said: "Miss Rao, don't be scared by Ah Liang, that's all in the past, now Macau's security is very good, you can rest assured that you can do business here." ”
Rao Ruoxi nodded slightly, it's hard to say anything.
The wine and food did not come up, and the table was bare, only a few pairs of cups and chopsticks were conspicuous abruptly.
And the waiters were far away, and they didn't dare to approach these tables without greeting.
Li Yi looked carefully with the afterglow of his eyes, and saw more and more that today's banquet was unusual, it seemed that the meal was fake, and the negotiation was real.
It can be seen from the conversation just now that the protagonist of tonight is not He Zhenhua, but the Jianghu man named Ah Liang.
He Zhenhua is probably also a bigwig invited by Ah Liang.
Li Yi said in a deep voice: "One-third of the people in Macau directly or indirectly benefit from Dr. Ho's business. The fact that the people of Macao refer to Dr. Ho as the uncrowned governor of Macao and the owner of the rice dish shows the praise people have for Dr. Ho. Dr. Ho invited us here today just to reminisce about Macao's past in front of these dishes and chopsticks, right? ”
He Zhenhua daxiao said: "Ah Liang, look at you, take care of what you say, serve the food quickly!" ”
Ah Liang snapped his fingers, and there was a row of waiters standing there, and when he heard the signal, he immediately turned around and went out, and after a while, he rushed in and brought a plate of delicious food.
He Zhenhua smiled: "Miss Rao, I'm sorry, I just cared about chatting, but I forgot about business." Hehe, come on, come on, please go. ”
After three rounds of drinking, Ah Liang brought up the old words again and said: "Boss Rao wants to do business, and our brother is naturally welcome, and we can also ensure that Boss Rao will have smooth sailing in Macau." ”
He Zhenhua said: "Miss Rao, Ah Liang is the eldest brother on the road, and in the whole of Macau, there is nothing he can't do." My He family's business is also thanks to Ah Liang's care. In the future, there will be Ah Liang covering you, so rest assured. ”
Rao Ruoxi said: "Then thank you Liangye." ”
This sound of the good master called Ah Liang very comfortable, and he hahadaxiao said: "Boss Rao, if you are so good, I will be able to speak." The rules on the road, for each casino, we take a two-percent rake! You have to pay a deposit of 20 million in advance every year, for the sake of your boss's face, I will give you a discount and only charge you 10 million in advance! ”
Rao Ruoxi was stunned, looked at He Zhenhua, and said, "Dr. He, what does this mean?" What does 10 million mean per year? What does it mean to have a 20% rake? ”
Ah Liang sat with a golden knife, picking his teeth with a toothpick, and sneered slightly.
He Zhenhua smiled: "Miss Rao, don't panic. You have just heard Ah Liang say that this place is covered by Ah Liang and his brothers, and even my He family's business, thanks to Ah Liang and his brothers, has not had any accidents for so many years. But Ah Liang and his brothers also have to eat and drink, and they also have to feed their families? You say don't you? They work for us, shouldn't we pay them a little too? ”
Rao Ruoxi said: "Could it be that the good man is running a security company?" In the future, all the security of our casino will be in charge of Liangye? ”
Ah Liang sneered: "Boss Rao, it must not be easy for you to get to today's status, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be with me?" What security? Casino security guards are your own people in the casino, and you pay your own salary. This 10 million is the hard work of our brothers. ”
Rao Ruoxi said: "Dr. He, you invited us here today just to collect our protection money?" ”
He Zhenhua smiled: "Miss Rao, don't be excited! According to Ah Liang's rules, I want to give you a dismount first, and then talk to you about the conditions, but I know that Miss Rao is a beauty, so I dissuade Ah Liang, don't be abrupt of the beauty, or set a table of wine, please Miss Rao come over and talk, everyone is friendly and wealthy! ”
Li Yi sneered: "So, you took our money, and we have to thank you?" You are a gambling king, you don't have to rely on such a small protection fee to make money, right? ”
He Zhenhua's expression was still indifferent, and he said: "With my net worth, I can earn this amount in minutes, is it necessary for me to waste such time with you here?" If it weren't for Miss Rao's face today, I wouldn't have bothered to come! ”
Li Yi sneered: "A group of robbers! ”
