Chapter 811 Step Down

Chapter 811 Step Down

"Since Brother Hua became the chairman of the Sun Group, the performance has been rising steadily. Our VIP room has the highest revenue in Macau and the best service. As long as the guests have money, we can provide anything."

"Yes, the best thing is free deposits. Our business is now almost the same as that of a bank, and the deposit figures have reached hundreds of billions! And this number is still increasing."

After Yang Dan finished speaking, the shareholders began to shift the topic to another person. Listening to everyone's praise, the man with the slicked back hair smiled and said, "Of course not! I will give them several times the interest that the bank can give. Only a fool would not want to deposit money with us. Anyway, they deposit money here and then go to gamble, and the money will eventually flow back to us."

"Now that we have money, we must quickly expand our territory and acquire all the satellite terminals that are not doing well in business." The man with the slicked-back hair said again.

Satellite halls are small casinos under large casinos. They are a product of the old times and have a limited business period. Most satellite halls do not have much income and may even lose money. No one understands what the big-slicked-back-haired man is thinking.

"Everyone knows that Macau is divided into several major forces, and they own many casinos. Although some casinos are money-losing businesses, the group's reputation will increase as the scale becomes bigger. Opening a casino in Macau relies on gambling licenses. As long as we get enough gambling licenses, we will be invincible. Now there are still a few years before the next gambling license expires. When we run for re-election, we must go all out to replace those old families!" After the man with the slicked-back hair finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

Gambling licenses are selected every 20 years. In the past, there were three main licenses and three secondary licenses. The main license is directly signed with the Macao government, has the highest level of operating rights, and can operate independently or split cooperation. The secondary license is attached to the main license, that is, it obtains partial operating rights.

But it is said that the next time the secondary cards will be cancelled and replaced with six main cards, which makes all parties happy and sad.

This also means that many of the main cards in the old gambling king's hands will flow out, and new forces will rise.

The guy with the slicked-back hair saw this opportunity and wanted to get a gambling card to change his fate.

After finishing the serious business, the shareholders started chatting.

The man with the slicked-back hair looked at Yang Dan beside him and asked in a low voice: "You seem to be very interested in the gambling industry recently. Have you tasted the sweetness of it?"

"Haha, I will definitely not miss the opportunity to make money, but this is not the key."

"What's that for?"

"Of course, I'm going to deal with my mortal enemy."

"Who?"

"I met a guy I really disliked in the casino last time. According to my research, he is responsible for purchasing all the live broadcast screens in the casino..."

When Yang Dan thought of Chen Xi, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Live streaming machine? Who would play that stupid thing? It's better to have our sexy dealers dealing cards online!"

"You're right, this thing is not as exciting as what we do. Look at the casinos, the people dealing cards are all middle-aged women, haha!"

"Haha."

The two looked at each other and laughed, not taking the live broadcast machine seriously at all.

While they were chatting and laughing, senior executives from several other casinos in the Macau region were also holding meetings, but the atmosphere was not so relaxed.

Sands Group.

"Recently, there are fewer and fewer customers in our casino. Most of the high rollers have gone to the Sun City. Some of the services they offer are indeed attractive, and we need to improve them to win back all the customers."

"According to my investigation, those high rollers not only like to go to their VIP rooms, but also like to play online games on their official website. Even if we improve our offline services, can we win back our customers?"

"Most of the casino's revenue comes from high-rollers. The introduction of a new points system originally helped to improve the casino's revenue. I didn't expect that Zou Mihua would use the same tricks he used to lend money to high-rollers. He lends money to customers without charging any extra interest, but instead takes a 10-15% commission on their winnings, so customers are happy to borrow from him. In addition to this, he also offers unsecured loans to high-quality customers. With just a verbal promise, they can get a credit line of tens of millions. The interest is calculated on a daily basis, and the annualized interest rate exceeds 120%..."

In the conference room, the top management of the casino were having a meeting to discuss how to improve the business.

Xinhao Group.

"Recently, the revenue from the live broadcast machines has begun to decline. According to my investigation, some customers feel that there is suspicion of fraud. We traced the source and found that there were rumors circulating online that the casino's new card box was cheating. They said that our card box can change the cards, and some said that the playing cards are temperature-controlled and the points of the playing cards are changed through the sensors on the table..." Lawrence said with a straight face.

The low-end customers in Macau casinos are different from those in foreign countries. They generally have a lower level of education, and after losing money, they find all kinds of reasons to think that the venue is cheating.

The playing cards used in casinos around the world are all customized from designated poker factories in the Sakura Country and the United States, and are equipped with sensors that read the new card boxes to prevent cheating.

The purchase price of a deck of poker is not low, about US$10. The casino invests countless amounts of money every year on the cost of playing cards.

Now, this poker card that is supposed to prevent cheating has been said to be a tool for cheating, which makes people in the casino very angry.

"Online gaming is very popular right now, and these rumors are probably spread by our competitors in an attempt to squeeze us out. The biggest suspect is the Big Sun Group, which appears to be a high-end VIP lounge, but actually operates online gaming. In a few years, they will issue gambling licenses again, and I think they are very ambitious!"

"Zou Mihua used to be just a stacker, but now he has become the chairman of the group. This person must have some ability."

"This guy is really amazing. I logged into their website and it really opened my eyes. Guess what I saw? There is a global betting business. They cooperate with some offline casinos or groups to help customers play on the gambling tables around the world. They use the money recharged on their platform, and there is also real-time video..."

"The casino doesn't allow taking photos or videos, so isn't this violating the rules?"

"You're right, but that's how they make their money."

Xinhao’s top executives were also discussing what the Big Sun Group had been doing recently.

At the same time, all the major gaming groups in the Macao region focused their meetings on Big Sun.

"Mr. Chen, look at the book I published!" In the office, Xu Jia happily handed a book to the other party.

Chen Yifeng took the things and couldn't help wondering: "You can also write books? Heng Xiao-Xu Family... Suffering is my precious wealth... Hehe..."

Looking at the words in the book, Chen Yifeng almost laughed to death.

"I have two more books here." Xu Jia handed over two more books, the titles of which were "Heng's Small Empire" and "Entrepreneurship: Taking the Xu Family as an Example".

After flipping through a few pages, Chen Yifeng threw it aside: "This is not written by you."

"Of course it wasn't written by me. It was written by a research institute, but of course I paid for it." Xu Jia had a smug smile on his face.

"Mr. Xu, instead of spending your free time doing these things, you might as well read a few more books." Chen Yifeng said half-jokingly.

"This is called creating a celebrity effect. If a company wants to continue to operate, the boss is the golden signboard. I package myself and write about the difficult process of starting a business, and then I can gain countless fans. My fans will become my customers and buy houses, cars, water, oil, etc. from Hengxiao..." Xu Jia explained happily while smoking a cigar.

"Who did you learn this from? Wait, why are you building a car again?"

"Ha, I learned all this from President Le Shi. We're also planning to cooperate with him in building cars. It was your son who recommended it to us. Sometimes you should listen more to young people's opinions. No wonder your relationship with him is so bad. Oh, I've thought about it. If Chen Xi marries Yunyun in the future, I'll have someone to take over my business..." The Xu family made fun of Chen Yifeng.

"Haha, looking for someone to take over? Don't you have two sons? My boy brought back a woman from an island country last time. Marry your daughter? Hahaha, then your daughter will probably be wiping tears at home every day. No, your daughter seems to be more open-minded than my son!"

"Mr. Chen, look at what you said. My baby daughter is a good girl, and those rumors outside are not to be believed. I forgot that Mr. Chen has two more children, so naturally he won't pay attention to the previous one. It doesn't matter, just leave him to me. Hehe~"

Two men started arguing in the office.

About half an hour later, the Xu family changed the topic to business again: "Mr. Chen, our Hengxiao has had a lot of expenses recently. Can you support the construction funds of Xinlu Building? Of course, it's not that our Hengxiao has no money, but that each project has invested too much, and at one time..."

"That's because we don't have the money. You build the building and I pay for it? That's a good plan. Why don't you borrow from the bank?" Chen Yifeng took a sip of tea.

"It takes time to find a bank. Can you help me find a few institutions to help me? I will have enough collateral and the interest rate will be higher than the bank."

"Oh? If there's such a good thing, why don't you find someone else yourself?"

"We are building a building in Xinlu. If we want to hire someone from another place, we need to go there to investigate..."

What the Xu family said was so logical and reasonable that Chen Yifeng couldn't find any fault with it.

A few days later, at the Tokyo headquarters of the Island Agricultural Cooperatives.

"President, the food has not been delivered yet. The Internet has been in an uproar. Not only are the merchants panicking, but even the people of the island nation are the same."

"Yes, the supermarkets have been emptied out. It's like the end of the world."

"I suggest that we accept ABCD's shipment as soon as possible so that everyone's problems can be solved."

Kosuke Saeki was bombarded by a group of agricultural cooperative members and his face turned red with anger.

He slammed the table and shouted, "Why are you in such a hurry? You're starving to death. News has come from Xinjin Port that the restoration and construction work is progressing at full speed. Food will be delivered to the island country in a few days!"

"Stop pretending. These people are representatives of ABCD. They come to cooperate with us today with sincerity. Why don't you listen to what they say first..." Saeki Kamji did not give him face, but clapped his hands.

The door of the conference room was suddenly opened, and four white men walked in arrogance. Everyone's eyes were fixed on them.

"Hello, President Saeki, we are representatives of ABCD. We are here to discuss the supply of agricultural products to the island country. I think no one can refuse the conditions we offer this time..." A blond, blue-eyed, burly man spoke first.

Outside the Agricultural Cooperative headquarters, a large group of people appeared out of nowhere, holding signs and demanding that the president of the Agricultural Cooperative maintain the supply of goods.

Not long after, a large group of reporters followed. They set up cameras and the female reporter took the microphone to start the interview.

"Please tell me how you feel at this moment."

"I have run an izakaya for twenty years, but now I can't even get an onion! I don't want my restaurant to go bankrupt. I heard that representatives from American ABCD came today to discuss cooperation. I don't know why the agricultural cooperatives didn't agree to cooperate several times before. Is it possible that Kousuke Saeki and his son-in-law are secretly..." a man wearing glasses shouted at the camera.

"All the food in the supermarket has been taken out, and the Farmers' Cooperative has not taken any action. Do they want to starve us to death? My son's lunch box hasn't been full for three days!" An old lady put her hands on her waist, very emotional.

"Kosuke Saeki, step down!"

"Stand down!"

“Step down!!”

I don't know who shouted, but everyone followed suit.

At the same time, the Japanese watched the images on TV and their emotions were instantly ignited! (End of this chapter)
