Chapter 271 A Bold Plan (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

No matter the era or the country, there is no simple way to become a top figure in an industry.

Whether it's intelligence, ability, skill, or luck, they're all top-notch!

The island of Macau is blocked, and Wang is clearly such a figure; otherwise, how could he have stood firm on the island for decades?
Of course, its strength is not as great as described in a certain novel, where it has the resources to secretly maintain a small fleet; that's impossible.

However, its strength and influence, covering the entire Southeast Asia, are beyond doubt.

It's not that he lacks flexible thinking!

Seeing that the three blockade boats set up by the three bigwigs of Hung Hing had completely gained a foothold, it was clear that there was no way to resolve the situation by force.

Then let's change our mindset and turn a bad thing into a good thing!
These three blocking boats perfectly fill the gaps in the blocking area on Macau Island!
In fact, the main customers of casinos in Macau are Chinese!

Unfortunately, while the idea was good, the powerful figures in Hung Hing were not to be trifled with.

By directly bringing in Tung Sing, along with Lian Sheng, Shui Fong, the Number Gang, and other top-tier triads in Hong Kong, and launching a direct blockade, Wang's plan failed.

Now, the Macau gambling market has truly encountered a strong competitor!
To put it bluntly, half or more of the wealth in Southeast Asian countries is controlled by local Chinese. If these people, their families, and their partners stop gambling in Macau, the losses will be enormous.

Thinking of the serious consequences, how could Wang not feel anxious?
However, his current target is no longer the Hung Hing triad in Hong Kong.

……

"Feng, isn't this plan a bit too audacious?"

In Wu Feng's chairman's office, Jiang Tiansheng held a business plan in his hand, his face full of amazement. He hesitated and asked, "Won't this attract interference from government agencies?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Wu Feng sat in a spacious executive chair, spun around on his toes, and said with a leisurely smile, "Could we cooperate with the Yau Tsim Mong District Government?"

"Is this okay?"

Jiang Tiansheng asked in surprise, "The district government will agree?"

"Why don't you agree?"

Wu Feng glanced at Jiang Tiansheng indifferently, knowing that this former leader of Hung Hing had not completely broken free from the mindset of a triad society.

"The district government also benefits a lot!"

Wu Feng pointed to the plan in Jiang Tiansheng's hand and chuckled, "Once the plan is launched, as long as the planning and execution are in place, how much economic benefit can it bring to Mong Kok in a short period of time?"

"Furthermore, can the purchasing rights for certain goods also be allocated to the district government?"

At this point, his expression became even more relaxed, and he said confidently, "As for the fact that there's a bit of gambling involved, we'll donate the profits directly to certain charities in Hong Kong. No problem!"

"If this matter is handled well, not only will many of Hung Hing's brothers and henchmen benefit, but Binney's position as the leader will also be completely secured!"

"Now that you say that, I feel much more at ease!"

Jiang Tiansheng closed the thick stack of plans in his hand, a look of excitement on his face. He exclaimed, "Ah Feng, you're really bold! You actually dared to do something so big!"

"What can't you play?"

Wu Feng chuckled and retorted, "A one-in-five chance of winning is already quite good!"

"At least it's better than going to a mahjong parlor, where there's gambling and the atmosphere is much better. You can always get some useful items!" That's right, the plan that Wu Feng showed Jiang Tiansheng was the same lottery activity that was commonplace in mainland China in later years.

The welfare lottery draw that emerged in mainland China in the 1990s can be considered one of the hallmarks of that era.

Whenever there is a welfare lottery draw in a certain place, as a famous comedian put it, it's a lively affair with drums and gongs, banners waving, and crowds of people.

Wu Feng knew that in the early 2000s, a single lottery draw in any small southern county could generate an astonishing billion yuan.

Damn, that's a billion dollars from two thousand years ago, that's incredibly valuable.

I vividly remember an uncle who was usually very frugal with his spending, but when it came to buying lottery tickets, he would spend five hundred yuan a box without batting an eye.

The reason he remembers it so vividly is that his uncle spent a full two thousand yuan and finally won a range hood.

I was so excited at the time, I even invited my relatives to have a nice meal together.

Although a range hood cost over a thousand yuan back then, it made my uncle very happy.

In fact, lotteries are nothing new; the key is the scale of operation.

This time, Wu Feng is planning to go all out!
Given the size of Hong Kong Island's economy, with proper promotion and profitable operation, it's easy to boost lottery revenue to over two billion.

He had previously read a Hong Kong variety show novel where the protagonist made his first fortune through the lottery, earning a whopping HK$300 million in just seven days.

Of course, since the other party was new to the area and had no roots in Hong Kong, this method of making money could only be used once.

The Hong Kong British government was not stupid; it would not allow unrelated foreign powers to have the opportunity to plunder the wealth of Hong Kong residents, as that wealth would have been theirs for the taking.

Wu Feng is different!
This time, we plan to give Han Bin, the new leader of Hung Hing, a big surprise.
The entire Hung Hing organization will be operational. If executed effectively, this lottery draw can easily cover the entire island, Kowloon Peninsula, and most of the New Territories.

He can also get the Yau Tsim Mong District Government involved, and even the foreign supporters behind the Chiang family, as well as stakeholders in certain government agencies, can all benefit greatly.

Who knows, they might do it a second time after the first time!

This is the huge difference between having a strong foundation and a wide network of connections, and the timing is also quite opportune.

As the handover drew closer, those Hong Kong high-ranking officials became increasingly unscrupulous.

To reiterate, once the entire Hung Hing organization is truly operational, the power it can exert is considerable.

"Should we talk to Benny about this?"

Jiang Tiansheng was still somewhat hesitant, saying, "The prizes alone involve several hundred million Hong Kong dollars. Once it starts operating, it will be difficult to stop!"

"also!"

Wu Feng smiled and nodded, saying leisurely, "Mr. Jiang, if we're going to start working on this, it's best to get it done before the new year, otherwise the final profits might be quite different!"

Although there is no Lunar New Year holiday on Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong people's New Year customs will not change much.

Before the Lunar New Year, people in both mainland China and Hong Kong will prepare a large amount of New Year's goods.

Once the Lunar New Year is over, ordinary Hong Kong Island residents will have very little savings left, so holding a lottery at that time will naturally result in much less income.
