14. Talk directly according to the rules
But what to make money on?
Therefore, from 1846, the Governor of Macau, Jose Gregorio Pegado, simply issued a governor's decree allowing the opening of Fantan gambling halls.
This is tantamount to forcing Liangshan.
Later, after Joao Ferreirado Amaral took over as governor in 1847, he directly legalized gambling methods such as "fan tan", "ι» surname", and "white pigeon ticket".
In addition, the Portuguese government also introduced the so-called "franchise system", that is, the government gave the winning bidder the right to monopolize the operation through public bidding, which was initially limited to daily commodities such as pork and beef, and by 1850 it was applied to gambling, and since then, the gaming industry has grown in Macau.
In other words, the Portuguese are not really worried about gambling these days.
Because that's what they do.
All they worry about is a little.
After Mani, who was in the same pants as Han Huaiyi, entered Macau, they had to drink the northwest wind.
That's why they resist.
The problem is, boycott, just drink the northwest wind first, and talk about it if you don't boycott.
Or maybe Portugal sent troops to defeat Wakanda, but it didn't have the probability of dreaming of it?
So in March 49, Governor Kevina had to send a signal hoping to have a direct interview with Han Huaiyi.
That's right, he was also anxious, obviously you were messing with me, why did I pretend to talk to that big scoundrel from Mani?
As a result, Han Huaiyi said: "Okay, I'll go over tomorrow." β
He didn't have anything to hide, and the British couldn't stand it, but Keviner was happy, because everyone knew that as long as the two dogs were willing to talk, there would still be a chance, and if he refused to negotiate, then he really wanted to get you, so let's run away.
The straight-line distance between Macau and Hong Kong is only 62 kilometers.
Han Huaiyi's armed fishery administration boat departed in the morning and arrived in Macao in two hours.
Before he arrived, the security of the Wa Concession had been deployed in Macao in advance, and the children of the Green Gang under Du Yuesheng had also controlled the entire corner of Macao.
Although Ke Weiner would never target Han Huaiyi, he was also very worried about what someone would do to Han Huaiyi.
So he not only acquiesced in this behavior, but even sent police officers to cooperate with the other party.
For a time, the whole island cannot be splashed with water, unless you bomb it with missiles and planes, which is obviously impossible to happen.
At 57 years old, Mr. Corvina is half a Macanese because he grew up in Macau as a teenager.
At that time, the mentality of the Portuguese towards the Chinese had changed somewhat, but there was still a kind of discrimination against the Chinese in their bones.
Then today, when the yellow-skinned Han Huaiyi arrived, they had to show a modest posture.
In the final analysis, all discrimination stems from the overlook of strength.
Or the self-righteous kind of looking down.
But these confidence naturally do not exist in front of Han Huaiyi, and it is okay for Han Huaiyi not to look down on them.
The gray-haired Kevina watched the moment when Han Huaiyi stepped on the territory of Macao like his master, and he thought to himself that this was a historic moment.
Then he walked up and stretched out his hand: "Your Excellency, Charlie, I have long admired your prestige, and welcome you to Macau." β
"The weather was really nice today, and I came to the sea with a hunch that everything would go well, and then I saw the sincere smile of His Excellency the Governor, and it was a wonderful moment." Han Huaiyi's mouth was full of flowers.
Unconsciously, Ergouzi is already 66 years old, and he inevitably shows some old state.
For example, the loose skin on his neck, such as the color of his hair, but his eyes are still sharp, and his steps are still firm.
Many doubt that he will live to be at least 90 years old.
In this way, the world will be suffocated for almost thirty years under his influence, which is really frustrating news for many people.
Kevina looked at his mental state with a little envy.
Then he heard Han Huaiyi say, "Let's talk about things first, and then ask Mr. Governor to take me on a tour of Macao, or how about I go back by myself?" β
This... All right.
Corvina looked around and pointed to a warehouse by the docks: "Where to sit?" β
"As long as you have a wooden box, you can do it." Han Huaiyi said that he did not wear a suit today, jeans, big boots, flight jacket and sunglasses, which is a classic outfit in the new Rome film Top Gun, very casual and chic in the Wakanda style.
Corvina was well-dressed, but he had no choice but to follow him.
The attachΓ©s hurried to open the warehouse and clean up the place.
Then he cleverly brought food and coffee from the boat.
Then the two sat opposite each other, and the others sat on the sidelines, sunlight pouring in through the doors and windows of the warehouse, and through the gaps in the huge ventilation fan blades on the walls.
The cut columns of smoke take on a strange shape, and when mixed with the cigar smoke in their mouths, they look strange.
"This is very similar to the gangster meeting scene in our movie, speaking of which, this is robbed by the Portuguese, and I am also a Taoist character, and now we are talking about a side business, so let's follow the rules of the rivers and lakes."
Han Huaiyi took a sip of coffee after speaking, and asked: "Your Excellency obviously agrees with our intention to enter Macau, but he is worried that we have other ideas, after all, we have snatched a large piece of meat from the British, but I guarantee here with my credibility that I have no such thoughts about Macau, I just want to make friends with you." β
After taking a superficial stance, he said: "The lion's sweet words are only for the lioness, in fact, he has no credibility for other existences, unless he can show true sincerity." β
"So." Han Huaiyi said: "We want to develop Macau's gambling industry, and at the same time prosper Macau, all of which is inseparable from your management and cooperation, in order to show sincerity, we will determine with you the amount of investment and the distribution of benefits, and recommend that the two sides jointly form a supervision team to participate in the specific review, after these agreements, we will first pay a considerable amount of security deposit to your government, and then operate." β
"It's your turn. Excellency. Han Huaiyi snuffed out his cigar and looked at each other quietly.
Kevina thought for a moment and said, "It is necessary to increase investment in Macao's infrastructure and public welfare construction. β
"This is included in the distribution of benefits. It can be discussed. β
"We need to link tourism to the gambling industry."
"That's the proper thing, but there's some overlap in the functional formulation." Han Huaiyi was a little embarrassed, but he continued stubbornly: "The annual income must be set a benchmark, and if it can't be done, it must be guaranteed. β
"Obviously, Your Excellency has done a lot of work, and I like people like you, except for the last one we have agreed upon."
"Yes, but, Lord Charlie, forgive my disrespect, I must ensure our interests as Governor, so I must have a baseline."
"Actually, it's the same as guarantee, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"In this way, the $5 million margin is stored in the account, and the baseline is $500,000, below which we will post, and from 5 million miles, higher than this is our own."
"That is, every ten years?" The other party asked slyly.
