Chapter 554 Even eating and taking
When Ho Hongsheng arrived at the hotel, Yin Zhaotang and several people on his left hand were sitting in the VIP room drinking tea and chatting. When they saw Mr. He, they stood up and greeted him, "Mr. He."

"Uncle Sheng."

Ho Hung-shing walked at a brisk pace, wearing a well-tailored suit and designer clothes, opened his arms, and laughed out loud, "Hahaha, Ah Tang, you came to play in Haojiang without saying hello?"

Yin Zhaotang smiled bitterly and said, "I just came here to play a few games with my brothers. I was planning to have fun and then invite Mr. He to dinner. I didn't expect to alarm Uncle Sheng."

Ho Hongsheng patted his shoulder, sat down beside him, smiled, and waved his hand familiarly: "We can have tea and a meal, and it won't affect our card game. The Lisboa Hotel is a one-stop resort hotel, not just a casino. How was your game just now? Do you want to play two more rounds of cards together?"

Yin Zhaotang pretended to check his watch, then smiled and said, "It's almost time. Let's have two cups of tea and catch up. It's time for lunch."

Earlier, Ah Le felt that he had not had enough fun, so he played two rounds in the private room and won both times. He lost 300,000 yuan in the hall, and immediately got back 200,000 yuan. If he continued playing, he would probably win.

Everyone immediately stopped playing again and sat there waiting for He Sheng. If they took He Sheng to the gambling table, even the King of Thousands would not be able to tell how much they won and how they won.

Don’t owe a “foreign debt” before you finish your favor.

Ho Hung-sheng saw that Ah-Tang had given up on using money to buy favors, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's stay at the hotel and eat later."

Yin Zhaotang nodded. The best restaurant in Haojiang is probably the owner’s box in Lisboa Casino.

"Today I brought my brothers to Haojiang, in addition to playing cards, I actually have something to discuss with Uncle Sheng. Zhongyitang has no place in Haojiang, and we often encounter problems and need to find people in Haojiang. It is a bit unreasonable to ask Uncle Sheng for help every day. The gambling table that Uncle Sheng mentioned last time still has some left, so we might as well give it to Lao Zhong." Yin Zhaotang also figured it out. Asking He Hongsheng for help means paying the bill, and money alone is just a number.

For the "King of Macau", expanding the family business is more important than short-term profits. Outsourcing the gambling tables is the new strategy of the Ho family, so Ho Hung Shing hopes that he can join the game to help.

If you want to maintain your relationship with the He family, you have to make the necessary arrangements. If you keep shirking your responsibilities, it will give people the impression that you are callous.

Although we are all in the same circle, we still have to take personal interests into consideration. If someone helps you out of political stance, you have to give back with business.

Friendship lasts only when there is give and take.

Of course, the casinos will be operated normally, and there is no intention to use shady means to increase profits. Because, in 1985, the main business was the casino tables in Macau, which was a small business with high risks and was not a good project.

First, the Lisboa gambling license will expire in 02, when the country will re-tender and impose restrictions on casino operations.

Second, supervision was strengthened, and three main cards and three secondary cards were issued, causing Aoyu to lose its monopoly position.

Galaxy and Wynn in China, MGM Alaska, and Sands will all build new hotels to join the competition.

Second, the rise of illegal online gambling sites will gradually affect Macau casinos in 20 years, and then develop into industries such as electronic fraud and Internet fraud.

The first to develop the northern Myanmar industrial park and manage local connections was actually the Haojiang Society. It mainly engaged in gambling. At its peak, it could eat up more than half of the profits of the Haojiang gambling industry. The online fraud was all the younger generation.
You can start gambling anytime and anywhere, and withdraw cash with just a few taps of your fingers. Online gambling with higher interest rates is much more fun than gambling in a compliant casino where you have to buy plane tickets and the gambling tables have a cap on bets.

Even though it was a black box operation and the outcome was adjustable, it was still very enjoyable and there were many fools. It once caused the tax revenue of the Macao government to decline, and the iron fist struck!
Therefore, it is not certain that you can earn much money by continuously expanding the gambling table contracting business. It is also easy to be associated with money laundering, bribery, online gambling, and fraud.

Unless you win a gambling license yourself, it is not worth spending too much energy. But since Ho Hung Shing has offered to help run a few tables, it is not a bad idea. Not to mention inviting Wu Xiang and others to play, if you meet people from Shenzhen who come to Haojiang to play, you can invite them to the table of "our own people" and take care of them more, at least they will not lose everything.

But Ho Hung Shing was no ordinary man. Since he knew that Yin Zhaotang was unwilling, how could he force him? He smiled and said, "It's no trouble to find me if you need anything. You can use the people from STDM at will. There are no gambling tables for the time being. I will leave them to my younger brothers. It's easy to raise younger brothers in Macau."

"The security business of Macau Entertainment can be handed over to Zhongyi Group." Yin Zhaotang looked surprised and asked in astonishment: "Uncle Sheng plans to outsource the security business?"

Ho Hung-shing nodded slightly: "STDM is undergoing transformation. In the future, all the gaming tables will be contracted out with fixed annual rents. We intend to cut the security budget."

"From what I know, Mr. Yin's security company is probably the most professional and powerful in Hong Kong. It's even more powerful than HSBC, Jardine Matheson and other foreign companies."

Leasing gambling tables guarantees a minimum annual income and also lowers the upper limit of income. After all, the majority of the excess will be taken by the contractor.

Although the Hotel Lisboa is still adding new buildings and constructing new wings, it appears to be booming. In fact, its business style has changed from aggressive to conservative.

It is almost inevitable to reduce costs in operations and increase assessments on personnel.

Yin Zhaotang understood and smiled, "We can talk about it. Ask the people below to draft the details. We can talk about it next time you visit us."

He Hongsheng stood up with a smile on his face and said, "The kitchen is almost done, Mr. Yin, shall we move to the dining room?"

"Uncle Sheng, please." Yin Zhaotang raised his hand and politely invited him out. Zuoshou, Ah Lok, and Dan Tart slowed down and followed behind him, all with smiles on their faces.

They were flattered by the boss all the way to the casino, and they had negotiated a deal, so everyone was obviously in a good mood. If they held Yin Zhaotang's head and booked the gambling table, even if the gambling table could make money, Yin Zhaotang would no longer owe He Hongsheng anything.

But if they change the business to a security company, they can win Yin Zhaotang's favor again. I just received new news a few days ago that Yin Zhaotang has a port in Iran with a 50-year lease. Although it needs to be rebuilt, what the He family lacks is not account funds, but opportunities, opportunities to jump out of the Macao River!

From Yin Zhaotang's path to success and business style, we can easily infer that in addition to his courage to fight and fight, his greatest strength lies in his ability to always seize opportunities.

Therefore, Ho Hung-sheng's attitude towards him is not to take care of a junior, but to buy a blue chip stock. Newly bought good stocks cannot be sold easily, and they have to bet heavily again.

After the meal, Stanley Ho saw his four brothers off from Lisboa Casino with great ceremony. When they passed by the first floor, they saw a slot machine, which for some unknown reason, kept ringing at their feet.

Several people in work clothes stood nearby, holding tools, apparently ready to repair the machine, but they did not go forward to work.

Ah Le bit the cigarette, put one hand in his pocket, and pulled the joystick unnecessarily, as if he was annoyed by the noise.

Many gamblers can’t stand the sound of slot machines. When they hear the noise, they get itchy and can’t help but go up and tap or pull the lever.

The next moment, the number "888" appeared on the slot machine screen. All the slot machines flashed colored lights, and the one he played even started playing music, attracting the attention of all the gamblers.

Several waiters immediately stepped forward, congratulating the boss on hitting the tiger and claiming there was a three million bonus.

Ah Le stared at the boss blankly, his face full of shame.

"Tang, Brother Tang, I didn't even throw in the coins."

Can this win?
