1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 520 You are not on the same level at all!
Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Hong Kong Island.

In the quiet coffee shop, Li Changhe and He Wanqi sat opposite each other, each with a cup of mellow and rich coffee in front of them.

The most authentic cat poop coffee from Indonesia. To be honest, apart from the name, the coffee is really good.

"Ms. He, it seems that you came here today for more than just a visit to Shunming?"

In order to win over He Wanqi, Li Changhe has become quite familiar with Mai Shunming these days.

Although from a business perspective, this guy is useless and has no business acumen, but from a friend's perspective, Mai Shunming is actually a good person.

Although he is a little arrogant and vain, he is generous, spends money like water and is not fussy about details. It is very comfortable to have such a person as a friend.

The most important thing is that this guy has a simple mind and doesn't have that many schemes. Li Changhe feels that sometimes he doesn't need to be too wary of him.

"I guess you must have been anxious these days. Are you curious about what my ninth brother is doing?"

He Wanqi put down the coffee in her hand at this moment and asked Li Changhe elegantly and calmly.

Li Changhe smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am indeed curious about Dr. He's current movements."

"Either fight to the death with us, or negotiate with each other. There must be some feedback."

"It's a bit boring to keep silent like this!"

He was not in a hurry to compete with Dr. He, but it was mainly because it was near the end of the year and Li Changhe wanted to go home.

But now he was being dragged down by the other party because of this matter, and he felt helpless.

"First of all, I can tell you a piece of good news. Based on my observations so far, my ninth brother doesn't want to fight you to the death."

He Wanqi said to Li Changhe with a smile at this moment.

Li Changhe nodded: "I guessed it."

"To be frank, Dr. He doesn't have the capital to fight to the death right now!"

Combining the knowledge in his mind, Li Changhe calculated almost everything that Dr. He could calculate. Apart from the shares held by Dr. He himself, almost all other shareholders were instigated by Li Changhe.

He also brought in the official power of Australia Island.

Not to mention the underground forces, Feizaijun has already established an alliance with Shuifang, and the two sides are planning to go to war with Zimudui next.

According to Li Jian's plan, Feizaijun would join forces with the Water Room to wage war against Zimu Dui, while taking the opportunity to clean out some of the Water Room's backbones, complete the infiltration of the Water Room, and even merge it.

So Li Changhe actually couldn't think of any chance that Dr. He could turn the situation around.

"You are too confident. From the perspective of equity, my ninth brother really has no chance of turning the tables, but that doesn't mean he has no other options."

"I can tell you that he has actually been studying your plan to contract the gambling hall recently."

"And he found a way to fight back from it."

"Just today, people from the four major social groups in Hong Kong Island all went to Macau Island. My ninth brother invited them."

"Well, are you surprised?"

He Wanqi looked at Li Changhe proudly at this moment. She felt that Li Changhe would definitely be shocked by this news.

After all, this should be Li Changhe’s next step, to take out the casino in Macau Island and lure it to the major forces in Hong Kong Island.

Unexpectedly, there was no emotion on Li Changhe's face.

"So according to what you said, Dr. He wants to unite these forces and unite them in the gambling hall auction?"

"It's a good move to remove the firewood from under the cauldron. He no longer cares about the shares of STDM, but directly takes over the casino. From this point of view, he is still the uncrowned king of STDM."

Li Changhe said calmly at this time.

He Wanqi looked at Li Changhe's posture and was a little surprised: "Aren't you surprised?"

"If they unite to put pressure on you, then no one will dare to attack the casino. In that case, won't the casino be forced to lower its price? Or, the actual operating rights of the casino will still be contracted by them."

"Don't you think about that?"

To put it bluntly, although the auction of the casino is a seller's market, Dr. He's current method is to form another force and then collectively take over the casino, thereby forcing Li Changhe to make concessions.

This move not only disrupted Li Changhe's own connection with Hong Kong community groups, but also allowed him to use the power of these communities to deter other competitors.

By then, Dr. Ho will have apparently lost the controlling stake in STDM, but he will still be able to control the operating rights of the casino, so it may not be a loss in the end.

Hearing what He Wanqi said, Li Changhe chuckled and shook his head: "To be honest, as long as those forces can compete according to my rules, I don't mind even if they take everything."

"If Dr. He can take charge of this matter for me, I don't mind him taking control of the management."

"I said, my purpose of taking STDM is not for money, and I don't have much interest in running STDM, otherwise I wouldn't have made the decision to book a hall."

"So his case actually has no impact on me."

"You can even go back and pass on a message for me. As long as Dr. He agrees to my stay, I will still give him the authority to operate Macau Entertainment."

"He can be fully responsible for the affairs of the private hall."

Li Changhe said to He Wanqi nonchalantly at this moment.

When He Wanqi heard what Li Changhe said, her face was full of shock.

In fact, her visit this time also intended to test the waters for Dr. He.

After all, the two are siblings. Even though He Wanqi betrayed Dr. Ho over equity, Dr. Ho, who has already realized the current situation, still did not turn against his sister, and even continued to win her over as before.

This also made He Wanqi feel a little guilty.

Now she is a double agent, helping both Li Changhe and Dr. He.

"You really don't mind letting him continue to run STDM? Let him be responsible for the operation of the casino?"

At this time, He Wanqi continued to confirm in disbelief.

Li Changhe smiled and nodded: "Of course, you can tell Dr. He what I said. There is no need for me to lie to him about this matter."

"Of course, this is subject to a prerequisite. The auction rules must follow my rules."

"If Dr. He thinks that just by piling up new letters on these societies, he can intimidate all the participants, then I can only say that he is wrong."

"These people may have a deterrent effect on some wealthy people in Hong Kong Island, but I can attract many consortiums from the United States, Japan, and Europe to bid in a matter of minutes."

"In front of them, Xinji and Ji are not even worth mentioning, so I don't care about their alliance at all."

"But overall, I still want the Chinese to dominate Macau Entertainment, so as long as they follow my rules, I don't mind how they unite."

Li Changhe said to He Wanqi confidently.

He really doesn't care about the operating rights of STDM. After all, he himself doesn't want to be too involved in this matter.

So if Dr. He is willing to continue to manage it, as long as it is according to his needs, he doesn't mind at all.

Whoever wants the title of gambling king can do so, he has no interest in it anyway.

He Wanqi looked at Li Changhe deeply, then nodded: "Okay, I understand, I'll help you pass this message back."

Watching He Wanqi leave, Li Changhe showed a smile.

The other party had no idea how thorough his transformation of STDM would be. In other words, it was not a transformation of STDM, but a transformation of the entire island of Macau.

Therefore, Dr. He's skills are of no importance to Li Changhe.

He probably didn't even know how many casinos STDM would have by then. But the priority now was to become a major shareholder of STDM first, and then he could make plans for the future.

Soon, on Australia Island, at Dr. He’s home.

When He Wanqi came back and told Dr. He what Li Changhe had said, Dr. He sat there in silence.

"Wanqi, what do you think Bao Zeyang wants to do?"

Dr. He said helplessly at this moment.

He was originally very satisfied with his plan. It felt like he had found a way out of a desperate situation, a way to cut off the opponent's firepower.

Of course, his ultimate goal was to use this way of survival to negotiate with the other party.

But he didn't expect that the other party would just wave his hand and let him go.

This made the original complacency in his heart disappear in an instant.

According to He Wanqi, not only did the other party look down on his operation, even STDM didn't seem to think much of it.

In fact, He Wanqi was thinking about this matter all the way back.

She also felt that her ninth brother's move was actually quite powerful. He directly cut off the source of the problem and united several social groups to fight against "Bao Zeyang".

After all, if those associations want to make more money after contracting the casinos, they must have a say in front of STDM and be able to protect their own interests.

Therefore, there is no harm for them to join forces with Dr. Ho.

He Wanqi originally thought that Xiao Baosheng was considering dividing these forces so that they would not completely unite with Jiu Ge. After all, once he moved into STDM, this Xiao Baosheng would have more initiative.

But the other party's behavior made her confused.

"Brother Jiu, judging from his reaction, he doesn't care about your methods at all. He doesn't care about the operation of Macau Entertainment either. He only cares about the company Macau Entertainment."

"Or rather, I feel like he wants to use STDM to do something."

"But I can't guess what he is thinking."

"But I feel like what you're pursuing doesn't seem to be consistent with what he's pursuing."

At this time, He Wanqi spoke tactfully to Dr. He.

What the Ninth Brother pursues is the interests of STDM and the dominance of STDM.

But the other party doesn't seem to care about these.

Dr. He fell into silence.

He now began to understand why He Xian and the others stood on the other side.

Maybe it's not just the morality that he understands, there are some deeper things that he can't see, or the other party has not shown it to him.

"Wanqi, give him a call and arrange a time. Tell him that I want him to come to Ao Island to discuss the matter."

Dr. He finally made up his mind and said to He Wanqi.

When He Wanqi heard this, a strange look appeared on her face.

"Brother Jiu, are you sure you want him to come to Ao Island?"

"You're not planning to hold a Hongmen Banquet, are you?"

Although she feels guilty towards Brother Jiu and is now a double agent, this does not mean that she is completely on Dr. He's side.

There was nothing wrong with Li Changhe coming to Ao Island by himself, but if she came here at her invitation and her ninth brother did something to him, He Wanqi would definitely not tolerate it.

This kind of thing, even if the probability is one in ten thousand, is a dead end for He Wanqi.

She won't be able to explain herself even if she has a mouth.

Dr. He looked at his sister and sighed in his heart.

"Don't worry, his identity is there, what can I do to him?"

"Besides, he is a junior after all. Do I have to lower my head and go to Hong Kong Island to meet him?"

"He can take the initiative to visit Ye Han and go to the He family, so what's wrong with coming to Ao Island to see me?"

"I'd also like to take this opportunity to see how brave he is, and what kind of person this little guy you all think is so powerful is."

Dr. He said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, He Wanqi looked at her ninth brother with a serious expression.

"Okay, Brother Jiu, I'll talk to him for you, but I still say that we can't move this person. His power is much greater than we imagined."

"I think it would be better to hold the meeting in a hotel rather than at home."

"Okay, you take care of the arrangements, okay!"

Dr. Ho said with a smile towards Ho Wan-ki.

He Wanqi nodded, then stood up and left.

After returning home, she picked up the phone and dialed.

A moment later, He Houzhao's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"Mr. He, it's me, He Wanqi."

"I want to tell you that my ninth brother has an appointment with Bao Zeyang in two days. I will arrange the location."

"When the time comes, I hope you will all be present. It would be best to ensure the safety of the meeting."

Although Dr. Ho assured her, Ho Wan-ki was still not completely reassured, so it was the right thing to do to involve the Ho and Cui families in this matter.

On the one hand, they are significant enough and both families are powerful enough to ensure that there will be no problems.

Secondly, it can serve as a witness for her. If anything goes wrong, at least her suspicion can be cleared.

On the other end of the phone, He Houzhao seemed to have guessed He Wanqi's intention, and said with a chuckle, "I understand."

"The location is easy to say. Let's choose the Lido Hotel. It's a hotel owned by our family. I will arrange everything when the time comes."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. He."

The two of them decided on a meeting place in an instant.

After hanging up the phone, He Wanqi breathed a sigh of relief. With the participation of the fourth son of the He family, the matter was at least half secure.

Then, He Wanqi picked up the phone again and called Li Changhe's office.

However, it was the secretary who answered the call, who only said that he would report to Li Changhe.

Not long after, another number called back.

Li Changhe called back using the car phone.

In the car, after hearing what He Wanqi said, Li Changhe smiled and said, "I see. You guys set a time and I'll be there."

After hanging up the phone, Li Changhe then said to Ah Hu: "Turn around, let's go back to the office!"
