Chapter 441 Fighting Tigers
Chapter 441 Fighting Tigers
After Lao Zhong and his men left, Siyanlong's quiet room suddenly became busy. Xiang Bo shouted, "Hurry up and take Director Li and Lao Liu to the hospital."
"Fourth Master, Director Li doesn't have a passport."
"Send him to a private hospital, idiot!" Xiang Bo vented his anger and cursed loudly. Liu Yujie walked up to Siyan Long and lowered his head and said, "Young Master, are you going to do anything?"
Four-Eyed Dragon waved his hands in anger and said, "They even dared to fight Director Li. It's obvious that they are fearless. How can we fight them?"
Xin Ji has the capital to compete with Lao Zhong, but when it comes to the top four, the winner is no longer in the underworld, but in the government. Lin Jiang finally spoke up and agreed: "If there is no chance of winning, it's useless to fight. Director Li is right. Xin Ji and Lao Zhong are planning to have an internal conflict."
"The two societies can fight anyone, but they must not fight each other."
Liu Yujie sighed and said weakly: "When can I hold my head high and feel proud, young master?"
Lin Jiang reminded quietly: "Ah Yan, Shenxiantang has been talking about money laundering all the time. It has never discussed the word 'power', nor has it bargained with Director Li. It just directly copied things and started."
Four-eyed Dragon came to his senses and said, "You mean, Shenxiantang just really has too much money and wants to launder the money. It doesn't mean to use money laundering as an excuse to steal the limelight from Xinji?"
Lin Jiang sighed, "He dares to fight people. He looks down on the 'no capital gamblers' coming from the mainland, and he looks down on what Xinji is doing."
The four-eyed dragon could not help but say angrily: "It's just that his surname Yin is so noble!"
This inevitably leads to speculation about what Yin Zhaotang's trump card is, as he doesn't even touch upon the rare ways in which the Triads can create value for the mainland.
Just relying on electronics factories, garment factories and land in Central?
Although they are in a position to understand the value of manufacturing, people who come from triads can engage in logistics, land speculation, and contract construction projects.
The only exception is the electronics manufacturing industry, which is completely nonsensical. Due to inferiority complex, people can't help but look down on it, or just don't believe it, dare not face it, and even have a secret fear deep in their hearts.
As for Yin Zhaotang's true confidence, it was beyond their expectations and they could never guess it. They could only guess it through Yin Sheng's behavior.
Lin Jiang was curious and walked to Yin Zhaotang's previous gambling position. He flipped over his cards one by one and said, "When Director Li returns, he will make a move. Let's see what happens next. Lao Zhong will always show his cards."
Three cards are shown, which are a red ten, a black ten, and a red ace.
Neat blackjack!
The four-eyed dragon who came forward to look at the cards was speechless and muttered, "Shit luck."
Yin Zhaotang was still on his way to the parking lot when he was stopped by a lobby manager of Lisboa: "Mr. Yin, our boss Mr. He wants to see you. May I ask if you have time?"
"If Mr. He invites me, I must give him some face. Please lead the way."
Although He Sheng is often looked down upon in the wealthy business circle because he works in the gambling industry, as a member of the "red-top businessmen" circle, the contributions he has made are significant.
The gambling industry is often criticized for its damage to people's livelihood and hidden corruption. The Ho family news is often used by gossip tabloids to make fun of it, which is related to this.
However, the opening of gambling in Haojiang was a regulation set during the Portuguese-Macau era. Under the SAR policy, it is a good thing to have a trustworthy person take over.
Among all the families in Hong Kong and Macau, the Ho family is considered to be responsible. At least when Hong Kong Island was in turmoil many times, Mr. Ho came forward to express his views and urged the Macau authorities to refuse entry to Hong Kong Island rioters for asylum, and publicly declared that cockroaches were "shit stirrers".
The last two times when things happened in Haojiang, Mr. He had helpers. It is beneficial to communicate more often. Along the way, Dan Tart was still chattering, and said regretfully: "It's a piece of land in Wuyuan Bay. Boss, you said you don't want it, and you beat me up."
"If you hit one, you will definitely offend the whole group. Don't even think about going to Ludao to find water in the future!"
Ah Le said jokingly, "If you still want to make money, remember to take a plane when you pass through Lu Island, otherwise you will be detained and put in jail."
Dan Tart crossed his arms over his chest, pretending to be frightened: "I'm so scared!"
Yin Zhaotang walked out of the elevator and came to the owner's floor of the Lisboa Hotel. He smiled and said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth." "He is just a playboy. It's embarrassing to look at him any more."
Each hotel has an owner's floor, which is an office floor that can only be accessed through a dedicated elevator or a special passage. The hotel management department is located here and identity verification is required.
Mr. He has a special gambling room on the owner's floor, which is known as the "Gambling King's Hall" in the underworld. Only those who are invited by the Gambling King are qualified to enter.
It is called a gambling hall, but in fact it is more like a high-end reception room, with a cigar cabinet, a lounge, a billiard room, slot machines and a gambling table.
Yin Zhaotang shook hands with Mr. Ho and greeted him, then took the cigar and sat on the sofa to chat about everything. Ho Hung Shing and Fok Kwun Tai were of the same generation, both in their early sixties, but he looked younger than Mr. Ho.
Huo Sheng was already seriously ill, having spent his early years fighting on the sea and overdrawn his account. He Sheng had a wealthy family since childhood, and although his father had gone through bankruptcy, his character had not changed. He was a disciple of one of the four major comprador families in Hong Kong and Macau, and was of Eurasian descent, with a good-looking face. At the age of 65, he was still energetic, as if he were middle-aged.
When they were talking happily, He Sheng leaned on his hands and smiled gently, "Ah Tang, I have to do my best to be a good host. I heard from the people down below about what happened in the gambling hall. Do you need help to fix it?"
Yin Zhaotang shook his head slowly: "Don't bother me, you should solve your own problems. The market is full of rotten fish and shrimp, and the corners are full of insects and cockroaches."
He Sheng nodded slightly, no longer insisting, and stood up and pointed to the gambling hall: "Mr. Yin has never played in Lisboa before, why not try your luck?"
Yin Zhaotang couldn't help but grin when he thought of the Feng Shui formation at the entrance of the Lisboa Hotel.
As a big boss, entering the Lisboa Hotel means entering the feng shui formation of "a hundred birds returning to their nests and entering bird cages". Believers are very taboo and will not even step into it.
Yin Zhaotang worships Guan Gong every day, he must be the most feudal and superstitious among the reborn. Previously, people went to the Lisboa Hotel for money, how dare they play cards in the gambling room?
Seeing his embarrassment, Ho Hung Shing smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of the rumors from outside."
"This is the hotel's money hole, it blows money and hides wealth, it's good to have some fun here."
Yin Zhaotang recalled the tabloid rumors that the Lisboa Hotel had toilets and guest rooms under renovation every day of the year, because “decoration” in Cantonese is pronounced as “zhuang shou” (zhuang shou) in Chinese.
On second thought, He Shengdu said it was a wealth cave, so it was okay to give it a try. No matter how strong the Feng Shui is, it is not as good as good luck. His eyes fell on a slot machine under the shrine of the God of Wealth, Wu Erye, in the corner, and he simply agreed: "I'll press it!"
"Please!" Ho Hung Shing and two assistants followed him forward. Ah Lok and Dan Tart both stood up to join in the fun. The boss came to the slot machine, picked up a chip from the frame, put one in, and then pulled his waist. The lights began to flash and music sounded. After one round of running, a "7" appeared. After three rounds of running, "777" was lit.
The slot machine lights flash and the music is exciting.
Ah Le's eyes widened: "Won the prize?"
The assistant bowed with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Yin, you hit the tiger and won three million Hong Kong dollars."
In Lisboa, a tiger is worth three million. There is also a "big tiger" that relies on the accumulated jackpot. The amount of Hong Kong dollars is determined by the accumulated jackpot since the last time the big tiger was hit.
Generally, someone hits the big slot machine once every two years or so, and the prize is usually in the tens of millions. At that time, all the slot machines will flash lights, and the scene is very exciting and makes people's blood boil.
No matter how rich Mr. He is, he can never play with the reputation of a casino. The chance of hitting a “big tiger” in the gambling king’s hall is zero, but the slot machines in the gambling king’s hall are 100% sure to hit the three million small tigers.
Although he knew it was a black box operation, Yin Zhaotang couldn't help but feel much happier after winning the prize. He laughed loudly: "Thank you Mr. He, my trip to Haojiang today was not in vain."
"Insects must be stepped on, cockroaches must be killed, and tigers must be beaten!"
He Hongsheng had a kind face and said in a loud voice, "We are all family. If you want to gamble, just talk to me."
