Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 291 The Tournament Begins, Experts Gather
This is because their industries are already established and the market has been fully developed. It is not easy to move up the value chain. The market is only so big, and the monthly profits are limited and basically already allocated.

There's no way they'd have that much money to make. This isn't a matter of these powerful families' abilities, but rather an inevitable consequence of market development and a market law.

They also experienced a period of growth, during which their monthly net profit surged, though not as much as that of Jiayuan Group.

After the upward trend ends, the market stabilizes, entering a period of stability, during which revenue and profits will inevitably decline significantly.

Even the Jiayuan Group could not avoid it.

Li Jiayuan himself is aware of this. Based on the current market potential of Jiayuan Group, the group has not yet truly reached its peak.

Logistics, healthcare, media, and real estate are all at their peak, with monthly profits exceeding one billion yuan.

Logistics goes without saying; it's estimated to peak today, and we're still only in the early stages of growth.

Healthcare is Jiayuan Media's most profitable and unique business. Now, they have also introduced targeted drug technology. Once the research and development is successful, Jiayuan Healthcare will become a world-class healthcare group.

It has already gained a great reputation in the medical field. After all, HomeHealth has launched a new medical technology that can fight HIV, something that many companies have been researching but have not been able to achieve.

One home-based medical facility already allows Li Jiayuan to stand on the shoulders of Hong Kong Island and look down, not to mention there are two more such technologies.

Media can make money, but Li Jiayuan's purpose in doing this is not to make money, but to expand his influence and public support.

Imagine if, in the future, a large number of outstanding artists and famous stars in Hong Kong, a group of people who can strongly influence public opinion, were all his people.

Does that mean Jiayuan Group, or Li Jiayuan, has the ability to manipulate public opinion? If an individual or group can control public opinion and guide its direction, then that's a valid question.

It is extremely, extremely, extremely dangerous to be in a place like Hong Kong Island.

Moreover, Li Jiayuan himself has so many supporters; anyone who knew his true motives would probably be shocked.

As for real estate, it's really just a side project. He's already involved in so many other things, so what's a little more? As long as it expands the group's influence, that's fine.

He used to work hard so that his background wouldn't be erased in the future.

But after he became a member of parliament, he no longer had this concern. At that time, he was actually confused and didn't know what to do. But after the incident at the welfare department, his thinking changed a little.

He wanted to do something, to do something for Hong Kong Island, or perhaps that was the true meaning of his existence.

"556"

"Wow, they really went all out!"

Lin Xin lost, slapped her thigh in regret, and didn't continue betting.

Looking at Li Jiayuan jokingly.

"So, you've lost all your money?"

Li Jiayuan's eyes lit up. "If you talk about this, I'm not sleepy at all!"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just won a few million."

He took out the chips from his pocket: three of a million dollars, and the rest were scattered around.

Lin Xin: "."

"What did you say!"

"No. You"

"You really won three million dollars?"

"uh-huh."

Li Jiayuan held his three gold chips, each worth one million, and weighed them in his hand for a few moments.

Lin Xin's suspicious gaze grew increasingly clear, as if she had already seen through him.

"You just went to exchange these, right?" How long has it been since Li Jiayuan left until he returned with three million chips?
Even if you were David Goldberg, you couldn't conjure up that much money, could you?

Knowing that Lin Xin didn't believe Li Jiayuan didn't matter, he glanced at the dealer shaking the dice at the gambling table and smiled slightly.

"I'll bet 500,000 next time, do you dare to follow?"

Lin Xin looked at the few chips she had left and said:
"I won't go."

Are you going to join or not?

"I'll follow."

Li Jiayuan looked at Zheng Youling, who nodded vigorously. He had already witnessed Li Jiayuan's skills at the gambling table, so he naturally believed him.

Li Jiayuan listened intently to the dice rolls, his brow furrowed. He could clearly sense that the dealer's rhythm for shaking the dice was chaotic this time, even worse than before.

He knew that the dealer must know he could read the dice, so he increased the difficulty.

This is normal. The organizers aren't stupid; the people they hire are all skilled. Besides, the casino has a monitoring room where they can see who the experts are on the CCTV.

Li Jiayuan guessed that he had been targeted when he was playing dice at those tables. These people knew he was an expert and had already informed the casino.

but
Three minutes later, Li Jiayuan and Zheng Youren brought back 80 yuan. Lin Xin's eyes widened, and she grabbed Li Jiayuan's hand.

"Teach me, how do you know what to buy?"

"Technical skills require practice from a young age to be recognized, hmph."

"."

After that, Li Jiayuan stopped hanging around here and went to find Xiao Zhuang.

This guy had those hundreds of thousands of yuan, and he actually won nearly 300,000 yuan. Moreover, he said that the first 100,000 yuan was won by playing slot machines, which completely baffled Li Jiayuan.

Xiao Zhuang truly became rich overnight. Holding that pile of chips, he paid back 50, and kept grinning foolishly with his 30.

In this day and age, 30 US dollars is equivalent to several million Hong Kong dollars.

Xiao Zhuang, a hitman, only earns a few hundred thousand yuan for killing someone, despite his hard work. He doesn't even have millions to pay for his girlfriend's medical treatment.

Now that things have suddenly taken off and I've made millions, it would be a lie to say I'm not happy.

Moreover, they don't usually have any work; they mainly act as bodyguards, only returning to their original profession in special circumstances.

When Li Jiayuan returned to his room that evening, Huang Lei called.

It's a pity we don't have smartphones now, otherwise Li Jiayuan would definitely video chat with them at some point.

Everything is fine on Hong Kong Island. Judging from her voice when I called, Huang Lei is probably sleeping with Ruan Mei.

This made Li Jiayuan feel that his empty bed was so desolate and uncomfortable.

The next day, when Li Jiayuan got up, the waiter had already delivered breakfast. It was all freshly transported from the land, and there was everything he wanted to eat.

After finishing their meal, Li Jiayuan went downstairs to continue. On the way, he ran into Li Jun and Jiang Yun. This time, Jiang Yun was accompanied by Huang Kui.

There were more unfamiliar young people around, probably her lackeys. To avoid trouble, Li Jiayuan simply took a detour and didn't meet them.

"Master, is there anything special about this charity gala that has attracted so many experts?"

"That guy over there, Taiwan just won the New Century Texas Hold'em Championship, and someone actually invited him to this kind of gambling game."

Second floor corner
The three people, one old and two young, were pacing and observing on the second floor. The two young men next to the middle-aged man were quite distinctive; one was young and handsome, and his white suit made him look radiant.

A man with long, melancholic hair, dressed in a cool and handsome black suit.
