Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 617

The main function of the "gambling city" of the Kowloon Walled City is to attract funds for Qin Haoran. According to the estimates of Qin Haoran and Shen Jinghong, this "gambling city" can bring them at least 2000 million Hong Kong dollars in income every year.

Although the existence of companies such as "Tianlang International", "Tianma Logistics", "Tianma Container" and "Kirin Club" can create huge wealth for Qin Haoran every year, especially after being refined and processed by "Tianlang Chemical" and sold to the United States The "No. [-] Heroin" that went to Qin Haoran's annual income is unimaginable for those who don't know the inside information.

However, Qin Haoran immediately invested these funds in other projects. In Qin Haoran's view, the biggest waste of funds is to leave them idle.

Capital needs to be continuously circulated in order to continue to create profits. This is the most simple application of economics.

For money, Qin Haoran will not be too much, not to mention that he can use the "City of Las Vegas" to win both black and white in Kowloon by his side.

Shen Jinghong, who was beside him, pressed his tender body closer to Qin Haoran, and said: "Over there in Macau, the Portuguese government distributes gambling cards at a high price. It is said that each one costs several million. Haoran, anyway, we don't have funds of this scale , and opening a casino there is justified, why don't we also bid for a gambling card there?"

Qin Haoran patted Shen Jinghong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Although the territory in Macau is small, the forces occupying it cannot be underestimated. At least at this stage, our side still has no time to get involved there. , Let it go first."

In fact, Shen Jinghong didn't need to mention it, Qin Haoran didn't intend to let go of the business opportunities in Macau.

The rise of Macau's gambling industry is thanks to the Japanese.Because when the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong, a large number of rich people and people with certain economic conditions in Hong Kong avoided Macau.The situation was chaotic at that time, and the business of those rich people was not in Macau, so they had nothing to do for a while, so they had to gamble for fun.

And some people with active minds aimed at this business opportunity and set up casinos, attracting a large number of rich people to patronize.

Gradually, Macau's gambling industry flourished.The Portuguese government even agreed to issue gambling licenses under the advice of those who opened casinos, and the casinos recognized by the government will continue to flourish.

Today's gambling king in Macau is not He Hongsen who will be known to the world in the future, but Fu Derong.

Before He Hongsen won the gaming franchise, Fu Derong dominated the gaming market in Macau for more than [-] years, and he was also the king of gambling in Macau.

However, according to Qin Haoran's knowledge, He Hongsen will compete for the gaming franchise in Macau in the early 60s, and now it has entered the 60s, which means that Fu Derong's gambling king era is coming to an end.

"Even though our 'Casino' can earn a little more money than Macau, don't underestimate the potential of Macau." Qin Haoran said to Shen Jinghong: "Macau With the support of the government, this "justifiable name" cannot be ignored. With the support of the government, Macau's gambling business can cover the whole of Asia, but our "casino city" with an unjust name can only retain customers here in Kowloon , and not for long.”

Shen Jinghong said: "However, the gambling tax in Macau is also very heavy. Almost half of the money earned by those casinos is given to the government."

"It's just a protection fee." Qin Haoran said with a smile.

Shen Jinghong's jade hand touched Qin Haoran's chest, and said: "Haoran, what if we also distribute gambling cards here? In this way, we can justifiably make the 'Casino City' bigger and overwhelm the Over there in Macau."

But Qin Haoran immediately shook his head and said: "This won't work, it's too difficult. Now the British Hong Kong government acquiesces in allowing the various gangs to open gambling stalls. That side will definitely not agree. In addition, Portugal will also put pressure on the British Hong Kong government, because the opening of gaming operations here will inevitably affect Macau’s business and tax revenue.”

Seeing Qin Haoran's reaction, Shen Jinghong knew that this road was indeed impossible, so he had no choice but to give up.

"The current gambling cards are still in the hands of the Fu family. I estimate that the Portuguese government will soon take back the gambling cards and bid again." Qin Haoran said: "I heard that Fu Derong is seriously ill now, and I'm afraid he won't survive this year. .”

For the current "Macau gambling king" Fu Derong, Shen Jinghong naturally knew about it. After hearing Qin Haoran's words, she said in astonishment: "You mean, after Fu Derong's death, no one in the Fu family can take charge of the situation, even the gambling card Can't keep it?"

"I'm afraid so." Qin Haoran nodded.

Qin Haoran is not too clear about the specific situation. After all, in his "previous life", he had only heard about this history, but after Fu Derong passed away, the Portuguese government immediately withdrew the franchise and re-tendered. There must be a connection.

I heard Qin Haoran say again: "Although we don't need to worry about the gambling cards now, we still need to grasp the news about Macau. I will send someone to watch over there tomorrow. If there is any news, I will send it to you." Come here."

"Are you going to be that hands-off shopkeeper again?" Shen Jinghong gave Qin Haoran a blank look.

"No way, who made our family so talented and beautiful, it would be a waste not to use more." Qin Haoran laughed.

Shen Jinghong stretched out his hand and pinched Qin Haoran's chest fiercely, but when he saw Qin Haoran's skin turning blue from his pinching, he rubbed it again in distress.

Today's Shen Jinghong, in addition to managing "Heshengtang" and the Kowloon Walled City that will open soon, also helps Qin Haoran take care of "Tianlang Chemical", but the burden on his shoulders is a bit heavy.

Qin Haoran thought about it, and felt that letting Shen Jinghong deal with the news in Macau would be too much work, so he said: "It seems that I have to find a sister for you to share the burden with you."

Shen Jinghong immediately glared at Qin Haoran: "How dare you!"

Qin Haoran smiled, and didn't say any more, and then saw the pair of jade rabbits on Shen Jinghong's chest that were more alluring because of being squeezed when he was lying on him, and the desire in his heart could not help but flare up again.And Shen Jinghong, who was on a skin-to-skin basis with Qin Haoran, immediately noticed his reaction, and his face immediately changed.

"You, enemy, are you still tossing? No, no, the bottom of the house is swollen, I can't do it anymore"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jinghong's mouth was blocked by Qin Haoran, and he could only make a sound of "wuwuwu", and Qin Haoran's body was also pressed up. Although Shen Jinghong was afraid in his heart, but The body catered to Qin Haoran out of instinct.

Therefore, Shen Jinghong could only murmur "Fateful enemy", and then fell into the ecstasy of Wushan with Qin Haoran again.

Two days later, the "Casino" in the Kowloon Walled City officially opened.

Before this "Casino" opened, the gambling stalls in other nearby small halls had already received rumors that they could no longer gamble here, and those disobedient ones were also banned by "Heshengtang" and "Kirin Club" People are swept away.

In order to accumulate popularity for the "City of Gambling", the gambling stalls in the "Kirin Club" site have also temporarily opened, making those who have serious gambling addiction feel itchy during this period of time. It is very troublesome to go back and forth once.

In this way, all these rotten gamblers are looking forward to the opening of the "Casino".

The reconstructed Kowloon Walled City specially left three relatively large entrances and exits, namely the South Gate, East Gate and West Gate. On this day, in front of these three entrances and exits were dragon and lion dances and firecrackers and fireworks. The end is very lively.

The south gate is the main entrance of the "City of Las Vegas", and there is a huge neon signboard hanging above it, which says "Jiulong Las Vegas" in four flamboyant characters, very imposing.

As the main entrance, the bustle here is the most intense. A group of people from "Heshengtang" beat gongs to encourage dragon and lion dances, and Shen Jinghong, the leader of "Heshengtang", was wearing a black cheongsam , The cheongsam is also embroidered with lifelike dragon patterns with gold thread, which adds a bit of momentum and style to Shen Jinghong.

The person guarding Shen Jinghong's side was naturally her former guard. Now Wang Hu is the second head of "Heshengtang", but Qin Haoran is not there, because he has established friendship with Ge Lianghong now, so he cannot let Ge Lianghong Hong is aware of his relationship with the underworld.

Around the Kowloon Walled City, the neighbors and spectators gathered round after circle, because the opening of the "Kowloon Casino" was indeed very lively. It spread around the neighborhood in a few days, and everyone who came to watch the opening today will receive a red envelope from "Heshengtang".

Sure enough, after the lion and dragon dance, Shen Jinghong asked his subordinates to distribute red envelopes to the people around them.

There is excitement to watch, and there are red envelopes to start with, these neighbors are of course elated.The red envelope Shen Jinghong sent to these people contained one yuan, which was a small amount of money for ordinary citizens.

But after these people opened the red envelope, they found that in addition to the one dollar in cash, there were two round signs with the number "1" written on it, but they were chips used in casinos. This "1" It represents one yuan.

Now in Kowloon, all the gambling stalls of major gangs use cash for gambling. Even the casino opened by Fu Derong in Macau uses mostly cash, and rarely uses chips.

In order to facilitate management and prevent some daring thieves from coming to rob, Qin Haoran asked the "Kowloon Casino" to implement a chip system, centrally manage all the money, and exchange it into chips for gamblers to use.

Putting chips in the red envelope is also Qin Haoran's idea, because for the "Kowloon Casino", it is not afraid that the gamblers win the money, but also that no one will come to gamble. The chips that are given out with cash are just to attract people to patronize gamble.
