Chapter 923 Gambling on

He Yi, old man, you, you're not kidding, are you?"

Since Zhuang Rui just knew that the cost of this ship was more than 3 billion yuan, he gave up the idea of salvage such a whole ship, which was too expensive.

By the way, if someone has a family of three or four billion yuan and then runs to the sea to get things, isn't he full? That is, Zhuang Rui could see the treasure at the bottom of the sea, and then came up with the idea of making a salvage ship to search at sea.

"Oh, you see that my old man seems to be joking with you?" The old gambling king looked at Zhuang Rui, stretched out his hand to pick up a grape, chewed it in his mouth, and came over for a long time." Then he said, "This boat has been idle for many years, and it's useless for me to keep it. What

When Zhuang Rui heard this, he couldn't help curling his lips. You have built this ship for at least ten years, and you haven't seen it for others to play. These days, he has nothing to do. He must be a traitor or a thief. "Zhuang Rui raised his vigilance in his heart" but he did not answer the

"What? Don't want it?" The gambling king asked strangely when he saw Zhuang Rui sitting there silently.

"If you want it, you can't afford it..." Zhuang Rui is telling the truth. There will be tens of millions of maintenance and employee salary expenses this month. He really can't afford it. I'm afraid that there are not many people who can afford such a luxury ferry except for hundreds of billions of people like the gambling king.

Zhuang Rui is even a little skeptical now. Does the old man feel that the ship is left with him like a chicken rib?

After all, it's useless every month, and you have to spend tens of millions of yuan, that is, no matter how rich you have money, you won't feel comfortable, right?

Zhuang Rui has a private plane, and the monthly expenditure is only hundreds of thousands of yuan, which reminds him of a little pain. If there is such a gold-absorbing boat, I'm afraid Zhuang Rui will not sleep well at night.

"That's true. There are a lot of idle people on this ship "..."

The old gambling king was deeply convinced of Zhuang Rui's words. Since the ship was withdrawn from the high seas and ended the business of the gambling ship, he only stayed in the port and occasionally entertained guests. However, the old gambling king was more affectionate, and all the crews who were hired with high salaries were raised.

The cost of hundreds of millions of yuan a year is experienced by the old gambling king. When Zhuang Rui said this, he frowned.

"Actually, it's enough to keep 100 people on this ship, young man, if you want to "I'll leave the captain and crew to you" I'll arrange the rest of the others. What do you think?" Although the ship is quite large, but the automation is very high, it only takes dozens of people to drive this ship. The In fact, it also includes some chefs and cleaners, which is essential, otherwise the ship will grow hair in a month or two.

"Sir, you..., what do you have for the younger generation? Just say it directly, this ship... I really can't stand it..." Zhuang Rui is a little dizzy by this old man." He has also seen many strange-tempered people, but he has never seen people with billions in his arms. Isn't he afraid that Ran Ji will turn around and sell the ship?

The monthly expenditure of 100 people should not exceed 3 million yuan. "This Zhuang Rui can afford it, but he dares not take such a big favor. Who knows that he will take this boat. What conditions will the old gambling king issue?

To say that there is a free lunch in the world, Zhuang Rui believes that "because you can have a free buffet in the casino", you only need to exchange a few chips, even if you don't gamble" you can have a free meal.

But if the pie falls from the sky, Zhuang Rui doesn't believe it. "Even if it can fall, it can kill or hurt people.

The old gambling king seemed to be a little embarrassed and touched his distinctive nose and said, "I said little guy." I'll give you a gift. You don't want it, and I can't say this condition. "Sir, if you have any instructions, just mention it. I will do my best..."

Zhuang Rui is also a little curious. This old man is rich in the world. What can he do for his own help? However, Zhuang Rui didn't say that he would die. If he could do it, he would help. If he couldn't do it, he would be sorry for you.

After the old gambling king heard Zhuang Rui's words, his eyelids drooped slightly and he seemed to fall asleep. Just when Zhuang Rui was a little impatient, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Zhuang Rui and said, "I want you to help me bet on a game in the name of Aobo!" "What...what?!"

Zhuang Rui suspected that there was something wrong with his ear at this moment. He sat in Macao for nearly half a century and actually let himself help him gamble? Is it possible that all his men are raised is rubbish?

Although Stevenson, the former gambling king of the old world, was disabled by himself. "The current gambling king, Jervis, also abandoned Macao with a disgrace, but Zhuang Rui doesn't believe that "the gambling king's men don't have the gambling masters he trained?

"Sir, are you kidding me? I don't know what gambling skills. It's all about luck to win twice. I can't help you with this..." Zhuang Rui refused without thinking about it, which can make the old man who is more than 90 years old and ask for words. Presumably this gambling game is extremely important. Although Zhuang Rui is sure to win, he doesn't want to show off

In the consciousness of the Chinese people's PS, gambling must be involved in gangs, and people like the King of Gambling are probably involved in the international underworld. If he really helps him win money, I'm afraid he won't have the life to enjoy this luxury ferry.

"Young man" Do you know the origin of your visit to Macao this time? After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the old man was not angry, but asked leisurely.

"My friend was cheated. I'll get back what I should get back," Zhuang Rui replied.

"That's right, this kind of behavior" If it was before 2002, it would never have happened in a Macao casino. I dare not say that there is no reason in Macao, but no one dares to be so blatant!"

The old man spoke in a hurry. After that, he coughed repeatedly. Zhuang Rui quickly poured a glass of warm water from the table and handed it over.

"Why are those people so indulgent after 2002?"

Zhuang Rui is really a little strange. For a casino, the long flow of water is the most important thing, and the casino that united with Liu Minghui to "trap" the fourth brother is obviously killing chickens to get eggs, which is extremely unwise.

"The gambling cards are all because of the gambling cards..."

The old gambling king's eyes were originally a little cloudy. After mentioning the word "gambling card", he became sharp in an instant, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable light.

"Gambling? Is it possible to gamble when you have a gambling card in Macao?

Zhuang Rui doesn't know much about this, but as the name implies, it should be the same type of thing as the company's business license, right?

The old gambling king nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. Gambling is a gambling license. With this, you can open a casino in Macao..."

"Then this thing should be issued by the Macao SAR government, right? What does it have to do with gambling?

Zhuang Rui is still a little puzzled. There are dozens of casinos in Macao, large and small, owned by the one in front of him. With his status in Macao, isn't it easy to make a few more gambling cards?

"Of course it matters. I'm tired. Let Amin tell you these things." The old gambling king said a lot today and was a little tired. He waved to the old dealer standing in the distance. After he came over, he said, "Tell Xiaozhuang about the history of the development of Macao's gambling cards...", "Yes...

The old dealer bent down respectfully and said to Zhuang Rui, "Mr. Zhuang, the first gambling card in Macao was awarded in October 1961. At that time, Mr. He and Mr. Huo and others on Hong Kong Island..."

A story about the development of gambling in Macao came out of the mouth of the old dealer.

It turned out that in the 1960s, the old gambling king teamed up with a group of Hong Kong tycoons, narrowly defeated the competitor at a price of 17,000 yuan, and won the Macao casino franchise in one fell swoop. Yang opened the first casino in 1963.

Since then, Macao's gambling industry has been in the hands of Mr. He, making Macao's gambling industry a world-famous oriental casino, together with Las Vegas in the United States and Monte Carlo in Morocco, and the world's three major gambling cities.

From the late 1990s to the present, the old gambling king has paid as much as 6 billion in the gambling industry every year. It can be said that he alone has supported the entire gambling industry in Macao.

But in 2002, the situation suddenly changed, and the Macao government decided to change the gambling industry and issued three gambling rights business licenses that year. This also broke the history of the old gambling king's monopoly of Macao's gambling industry for nearly half a century.

At that time, the competition was extremely fierce. A total of 21 companies said that they were bound to win the gambling card. In addition to the local forces represented by the gambling king in Macao, there were also many companies from the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, the Philippines and other places.

World-class casino hotel consortia, including world-renowned MGM, Las Vegas, Sun City and Genting Malaysia, all attach great importance to the issuance of gambling cards. The average amount of investment in the Australian gambling industry is about 2 billion US dollars, with the least investment of more than 1 billion US dollars and 40 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, the gambling king was extremely dissatisfied with the government's decision. In an interview with the local media, he said, "With his 40 years of management experience, he did not need to cooperate with other companies. The old gambling king insisted on "playing by himself".

is just the general trend. In the end, the gambling industry in Macao was created by the gambling king. In the current three-point world, the gambling cards are obtained by the three companies of the king of gambling, Aobo, Wynn and Galaxy respectively.

Unlike the gambling king's Aobo, the other two companies have the shadow of a foreign gambling consortium.

It is like Galaxy Casino Co., Ltd., although it is a gambling company composed of Hong Kong businessman Lu Zhihe's family and the Venetian Group.

But behind it is the American gambling celebrity, Shorten Edson of the Nevada Venetian Group, and holds at least 30% of the shares of Galaxy.
