Chapter 873 Situation
Omen is a very special place.
It is a city where Chinese and Western cultures blend together, an international transportation hub, and a paradise for gamblers.
Its economy is dominated by manufacturing and service industries, and the service industry occupies an absolute dominant position, and the gaming industry is the first in the service industry.
The gaming industry in this place has a long history. Omen has only been open for about 400 years, but the gaming industry has existed for 0 years.
In the late Qing Dynasty, people from all walks of life from the mainland often gathered here to spend a lot of money on the gambling table.
In 1847, the then government issued a decree to legalize gambling.For a time, there were many local gambling stalls in this place.At that time, large and small gambling stalls were mostly set up or controlled by people from the Jianghu, and there were frequent fires and bloodshed inside and outside the gambling stalls. This chaotic and disorderly pattern continued until a historical mission came out, and then it changed slightly.
This person is Dana Ho, who is still known as the king of gambling today. In October 1961, Dana Ho, who had just entered his forties, narrowly won the gaming franchise at a price that was only 10 yuan more than his competitors.
After that, with the opening of his first casino, he began to franchise for 40 years, and gradually built a world-famous "Oriental Casino", becoming one of the three major casinos in the world.
This pattern continued until 01, when another earth-shaking change took place.
In 01, the local government decided to undergo a major operation on the gaming industry, which determines the lifeline of Omen’s economy, that is, to divide the casino franchise that has lasted for more than 70 years into three, and let them compete with each other for better operation. Great development, and then drive the economic development of the whole city.
On November 11 of the same year, the bidding process for gambling licenses was announced. By the deadline for accepting bids on December 5, a total of 12 consortiums around the world had submitted bids to the local gaming commission.But in the end, only three gambling cards were awarded.
The one who won the first gambling card is of course the king of gambling, He Dana. He has dominated the city's gambling industry for nearly 40 years, and it is not only expected by the industry insiders, but also unprecedented. Arguable.
The one who won the second gambling card was Lu Yan's grandfather, Mr. Lu, who is known as the new gambling king. He cooperated with American Aderson and became another legally licensed gambling business after Ho Dana. giant crocodile.
The last gambling card was won by Stephen, who is known as the gambling king on the West Coast of the United States.
So far, the Oriental Casino has been divided into three parts.
However, this pattern did not last long and changed again.
The reason is very simple. Although Mr. Lu did not start with gambling like Ho Dana, he is a layman in the gaming industry, but his years of practical business experience have made him quite assertive in gaming operations, and he supports innovation and reform. Lin, this guy wanted to move the Las Vegas set to Omen, and the two had disagreements, and finally parted ways within a year.
The two want to break up, but the gambling cards are jointly owned, so what should they do?You can only apply to the local government to split the gambling license in two, and it has been approved.Subsequently, the local government allowed each gambling card holder to split his gambling card once.
He Dana split his gambling license to his daughter and a joint venture company, with each holding half of the shares.
In addition, Stephen also spun off a gambling card and sold it to Ho Dana's son for nearly one billion US dollars.
Since then, the three-legged rivalry in the Oriental Casino has become a six-horse rivalry, but Ho Dana holds three of the six gambling cards, barely occupying half of the country.
Yes, it is indeed necessary to use the word reluctantly to describe it.
Although He Dana has three gambling cards, Mr. Lu already has the same strength as him.
Where there are people, there will always be rivers and lakes.
The oriental gambling city where the six heroes are fighting for hegemony looks prosperous and harmonious on the surface, but in the dark it is turbulent, with constant battles, and among them, the battle between the old and the new gambling kings is the most intense.
The dispute between Mr. Lu and Dana Ho began with the acquisition of legal gambling cards. It has been going on over the years, openly or secretly, and has never stopped. Recently, it has become more and more intense. The reason is nothing more than two words :Benefit.
……
In the more than a year since Yan Xiaokai and Lu Yan separated, one was running around for missions and recovering martial arts, while the other was working hard to continue the family business.
Today, both of them have achieved their own achievements, but Lu Yan's achievement is obviously greater than that of Yan Xiaokai, because Mr. Lu has already handed over all the properties of Aomen to Lu Yan to take care of, so she has great respect for her. The conflict of interests is also clearer than anyone else.
When she explained these complicated relationships to Yan Xiaokai, Yan Xiaokai had already finished eating several baskets of dim sum in a private room of a time-honored restaurant opened by Lu's family.
After stuffing the last bite of steamed stuffed bun into his mouth, Yan Xiaokai asked: "Okay, I understand what you said, but what does this have to do with me and that Young Master Lai?"
Lu Yan paused and asked, "Are you full?"
Yan Xiaokai shook his head, "No, this is only the first half!"
Lu Yan sweated a little, "Are you really so hungry?"
Yan Xiaokai said: "If you're not hungry, can you bring me here to find something to eat?"
Lu Yan hurriedly ordered shrimp dumplings, siu mai, chicken feet, meatballs and other snacks, and then continued the topic just now, "Pornography, gambling and drugs are always talked about together, because the relationship between the three There is an inseparable relationship. Just now I told you about the six heroes fighting for hegemony. Now I will tell you about the local gangsters. There are many gangsters here, but there are only two most powerful ones, one is Shuifang and the other is Eighteen K. "
Yan Xiaokai buried his head in eating hard, and responded with a little bit: "Yeah!"
Lu Yan continued: "The boss of Shuifang is called A Lai, and his influence in Omen is extremely huge. There are not 1 people under him, but there are several thousand people. It can be said that he is at the top of the sky, irresistible, almost sharing the underground rivers and lakes with [-]K. "
Yan Xiao asked without raising his eyebrows at the beginning: "What about the Eighteen K?"
Lu Yandao: "The [-]k boss is called Louya. He has only been out of prison for a few years. In the past few years, he has been very low-key, assuming that he will no longer meddle in Jianghu affairs, but he and Alai are deadly enemies."
Yan Xiaokai finally raised his head and spit out the chicken claw bones in his mouth, "What else?"
Lu Yan said: "The other thing is that A Lai has always maintained a neutral relationship with the interests of our Lu He family, but this time you beat A Lai's son and extorted such a large sum of money from him. A Lai completely pushed it to He Dana's side. Let our Lu family face tremendous pressure."
Yan Xiaokai frowned and looked at her without blinking.
Lu Yan felt a little guilty after being watched by him, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Yan Xiaokai said leisurely: "As soon as Lao Nafa opened his eyes, he knew that your words had water."
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You have seen it all, okay! I admit that what I just said is indeed a bit watery. We have received rumors a while ago that Ah Lai has often talked with He Da Na's daughter has been in frequent contact. Although we don't know exactly what they said and did during the meeting, I have reason to believe that A Lai and the surnamed He have reached some kind of secret agreement, and A Lai may even completely invest in In the embrace of the surname He."
Yan Xiaokai said: "Oh? What reason do you have? Just based on your own guesswork?"
Lu Yan shook her head and said: "No, I got news again that the boss of the [-]th K. is low-key on the surface, but he has been secretly planning to deal with Ah Lai, because he suspects that he was imprisoned back then because of Ah Lai. Ah Lai I'm afraid I got wind of it, so I hugged He's thigh in advance."
After Yan Xiaokai finished listening, he sighed and said, "The relationship in your circle is really not that complicated!"
Lu Yan said: "No matter how complicated it is, as long as you leave now, it has nothing to do with you."
Yan Xiaokai pondered for a while and said: "Lu Yan, is this what you mean?"
Lu Yan nodded without thinking: "Of course! Although Grandpa means that he hopes you can stay and become our great strength."
Yan Xiaokai looked at her again and said nothing.
Lu Yan asked suspiciously: "Why are you looking at me like that again?"
Yan Xiaokai said sharply: "This is still watery, maybe Grandpa is talking about more than that?"
Lu Yan responded subconsciously: "Grandpa still said he wanted to recruit you..."
In the middle of speaking, she stopped abruptly, and her face turned red.
Yan Xiaokai asked suspiciously: "What else did Grandpa say he wanted to recruit me for?"
Lu Yan blushed and said: "Don't worry about it, anyway, I don't want you to get involved in this matter."
Yan Xiaokai said: "Why?"
Lu Yan said: "Because you are no longer the Er Dalu who acted as the bodyguard back then, but the leader of the Hongxing Society, if you want to join in, then everything will change when the Hongxing Society also intervenes in this matter. It's more complicated."
Yan Xiaokai thought for a while, nodded and said: "Indeed, I am not what I used to be, a senior official, and I am very important. If I really get involved, I am afraid it will be another gang dispute."
Lu Yan said happily: "Then you agree to leave?"
Yan Xiaokai shook his head without thinking, "No!"
Lu Yan's expression froze, "Why?"
Yan Xiaokai said: "Because I came to bridal with you, and I haven't spent the night yet, how can I be willing to leave!"
Lu Yan: "..."
Seeing her expression of shame, embarrassment, and resentment, Yan Xiaokai couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After a while, Lu Yan said quietly: "I would like to admit defeat, I owe you anyway, if you really think about it, let's go to the hotel after drinking morning tea, and you can go back when it's over!"
Hearing what she said, Yan Xiaokai finally put away his sloppy look, and said seriously: "Lu Yan, even if we go to the hotel to finish things later, I won't go back."
Lu Yan: "You..."
Yan Xiaokai said: "Don't worry! What happened just now, you have already shown up and talked to me, even if I leave, they will also pay you the debt. In addition, that Shao Lai left At that time, he asked my name, and I also reported my name. As long as he is willing, he will be able to find out my identity in a short time. In addition, it is no secret that the Hongxing Club and the Lu family cooperate to open a gambling boat. In other people's eyes, we have already been on the same boat. In addition, I have already had such an affair with you, no matter whether it is public or private, I can't leave. "
Lu Yan sighed faintly, "Why are you so stubborn."
Yan Xiao laughed and said: "That's because you don't know me very well, but it doesn't matter, as long as we have an in-depth exchange and discussion, you will know."
Lu Yan: "..."
