Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 820 Technical Director of Great Wall Hotel
The brothers He Zanyuan and He Zanxian soon mistakenly believed that Chu Xiangqian really had mines overseas based on the iron ore.

Since they can own mines overseas, it doesn't seem surprising that they can also own copper mines or even gold mines.

He Zanxian suddenly thought of something and whispered to his brother He Zanyuan,
“A few years ago, I heard from some friends that a huge copper mining area was discovered in Mindanao.

Unfortunately, those in power in Luzon have never been able to reach an agreement with the forces in Mindanao.

As a result, the copper mining area has remained idle.

Two years ago, I flew to Luzon with a few overseas friends to talk about it.

But the authorities there are only willing to sell the copper mining rights, and they don't care about how the mining is done.

I knew at first glance that this was a sinkhole, so I gave up.

Now that I think about it, last year I heard from my friends in Luzon that for a period of time, the white rice fish seemed to fly to Luzon frequently.

Given his relationship with Chu Xiangqian, it would be strange if there were no problems here."

He Zanyuan was stunned after hearing this, and then he started to imagine.

Since Chu Xiangqian has the ability to cooperate with others to mine iron ore overseas, it seems not surprising that he has taken over the copper mining area in Mindanao.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian was known for his ruthlessness. He could easily kill Bo Hao, Jin Yabing and dozens of their trusted subordinates, as well as the entire Qin family who were engaged in the pirate business in Kuala Lumpur.

It is normal to think about dealing with the indigenous forces in Mindanao.

Moreover, while using force, Chu Xiangqian would definitely bribe people.

Now they have directly taken out 42.5 tons of gold and deposited it in Standard Chartered. The He brothers immediately felt that the possibility of compromise of the natives who could not even buy mining equipment was very high.

He Zanyuan immediately whispered to He Zanxian, "Brother, the Great Wall Hotel will open in a few days. Then we will give Chu Sheng a try. In the future, should we continue with the 2 tons of gold per year?"

He Zanxian immediately understood what He Zanyuan meant. If Chu Xiangqian didn't buy it, then he would really have a copper mine in his hands.

Just thinking about it, He Zanxian quickly shook his head, "It's just 2 tons per year, Chu Sheng will not break the contract."

He Zanyuan was stunned, then nodded after thinking about it. 360 million US dollars or 1602 million Hong Kong dollars were indeed nothing to Chu Xiangqian.

He Zanxian saw that He Zanyuan understood, so he continued, “Besides, he has so much business now, and the Great Wall Hotel is about to open.

Every year, there must be a lot of cash on hand that cannot be taken out directly for use.

Buying gold from us not only helps you avoid taxes, but you can also convert part of your cash into gold, launder it, and deposit it in Standard Chartered to use at will.

Maybe if we tell him that the amount of gold he provides each year will increase, he will agree right away."

He Zanyuan immediately sighed, thinking to himself that no wonder his family business became more prosperous after his eldest brother took over, far surpassing the family business left by his father.

As he was expressing his emotion, he suddenly felt his elder brother pulling his arm. He Zanyuan came to his senses and followed his elder brother's gaze.

Soon they saw the Chu family's main house. After being dragged by the Chu family's eldest daughter to see the giant diamond, He Chaosheng actually took the old fox Nie Wanlong to see Chu Xiangqian.

He Zanyuan didn't bother to say anything more to his elder brother and quickly walked towards Chu Xiangqian and Zheng Yutong.

Zheng Yutong knew that Chu Xiangqian never liked making friends with strangers, and had not even paid attention to many prominent families in Hong Kong Island.

More than once, at a banquet, I did not recognize those officials and gentry who had enjoyed a good reputation and fame in Hong Kong Island for many years.

I know even less about the celebrities in Macau.

He whispered beside Chu Xiangqian, "Nie Wanlong became famous in Malaysia a few years ago and is recognized as the gambling king in Southeast Asia."

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he immediately became interested.

But don’t be fooled by the fact that the gambling king and gambling god look majestic, but if things go wrong, the whole family may end up reuniting.

So what He Chaosheng said decades later, "Not gambling is the way to win," is not only the truth, but also the result of his decades of experience.

However, since the Great Wall Hotel has been opened, even if they are the bankers, they can make a lot of money every year by taking a cut. But since it involves gambling, it really won’t work without a master.

He Chaosheng smiled and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Chu Xiangqian from several meters away.

Then he flattered, "Mr. Chu, after all, you are the boss of the Great Wall Hotel, you can't be partial to one and only help this guy Atong, and forget that the hotel also needs your support.

Otherwise, my colleagues and societies in Macau will want to eat me up.”

This is true. Although He Chaosheng only owns 15% of the shares in the Great Wall Hotel, Chu Xiangqian supports him to become the head of operations of the Great Wall Hotel.

As for other shareholders, Chu Xiangqian's 60% has not changed, and Zheng Yutong holds 6%, which was also agreed upon from the beginning.

As for He Zanyuan, after he started construction of the hotel, it was unknown what kind of transaction he had with He Chaosheng. His own shares dropped to 5%, allowing He Chaosheng to hold 15% of the shares and become the second largest shareholder.

For the last Bridge, Chu Xiangqian was only willing to give him 5%. Even if he wanted to get more shares at a price higher than the market price, there was nothing he could do if Chu Xiangqian did not agree.

Of the remaining 9% of shares, after discussions among several shareholders including Chu Xiangqian, 5% was given to the Portuguese foreigners as a regulatory fee.

If the foreigner causes trouble to the hotel for no reason in the future, don't blame Chu Xiangqian for attacking him.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian would not kill people right away, but he had many ways to disgust people and drive the foreigners back to Portugal.

There are many predecessors in Hong Kong and Macau who have conflicts with foreigners. Chu Xiangqian has heard a lot from Zheng Yutong about the methods his father-in-law used to deal with a few British people in the past, and he immediately felt that he had learned a lot.

The last 4% of the shares are specifically used to hire gambling masters to work in the hotel.

Although he could offer a high salary, Chu Xiangqian knew that offering a salary would definitely not be as effective as offering shares to buy people off. But this 4% share was not given directly to the other party.

The dividend of 4% shares is reasonable, but if you want to keep this share, you have to work for the hotel for 10 years.

During this period, if someone comes to compete in gambling skills, everything will be easy if you win.

If you lose, your shares will be taken back.

As for accountability, that depends on the actual situation.

If the skills are simply not as good as those of outsiders, the hotel will not really pursue the responsibility, otherwise there will be geniuses applying for the position of technical director in the future.

But if you are disloyal or engage in other unfaithful behavior, the end result will certainly be seeing God.

And it’s a complete family reunion.

However, according to Chu Xiangqian's idea, he actually didn't want to run the hotel's gambling business himself.

The Future Lisboa Hotel has also proved that the disadvantages of personally participating in the gambling business are clearly greater than the advantages.

The best approach is to follow the path that will be taken more than 20 years later, which is to subcontract the hotel's gambling business.

Each hall and even each gambling table can be rented to a community or a business.

It is equivalent to the hotel being the landlord, taking a commission from every hall and every gambling table.

In this way, you can ensure a stable income regardless of drought or flood.

Even if someone comes to challenge, it is the person who rents the hall who will deal with it. Winning or losing has nothing to do with the hotel.

Unfortunately, not only He Chaosheng thought it was unreliable, but He Zanyuan, Zheng Yutong and Bridge also felt that Chu Xiangqian was too conservative and would cause everyone to earn much less.

This time, Chu Xiangqian did not use his right to absolute controlling stake to forcibly implement his ideas.

Anyway, judging from the development trajectory of Macau's gambling industry, it is indeed profitable for hotels to operate the gambling business themselves at this time.

However, this puts very high demands on the technical director.

And since He Chaosheng is in the open, if someone wants to go against the hotel, he will of course be the first one to be dealt with.
