Film and Television: Bao Zong has finance in his left hand and entertainment in his right.

Clearly, Liu Xiaobao was very happy to own his own yacht.

Su Jie was also quite happy; he had been wanting to try driving a yacht for a long time, so he walked even faster than Liu Xiaobao!

Just as the group boarded the yacht and strolled around, He Chaoqiong asked Liu Xiaobao a question.

"All the formalities have been completed. So, honey, do you like this little gift?"

Liu Xiaobao smiled and nodded, but then he realized what he meant: "A little gift? Chaoqiong's wife, isn't this the surprise you were talking about?"

He Chaoqiong smiled mysteriously and replied, "The biggest surprise is yet to come! Honey, wait a little longer, Xiaomin, and then I'll take you to see the big surprise!"

"You also made plans with Xiaomin?"

No sooner had Liu Xiaobao finished speaking than Zhou Huimin appeared at the dock with her bodyguards.

After Zhou Huimin and the others boarded the yacht, Su Jie started the yacht and set sail at sea at He Chaoqiong's command.

Of course, He Chaoqiong had originally arranged for a driver, but Su Jie insisted on driving and took over the driver's seat. However, the original driver did not leave but stayed by Su Jie's side to prevent him from making any mistakes.

Perhaps because the yacht belonged to him, or perhaps because he was surrounded by two beautiful women, Liu Xiaobao felt that the sea breeze smelled better than usual today.

However, Liu Xiaobao was also very curious at this moment. He turned to He Chaoqiong, who was on his left arm, and asked, "Chaoqiong, what exactly is this big surprise you mentioned? Why do we have to go out to sea to find out?"

Before He Chaoqiong could answer, Zhou Huimin, who was on Liu Xiaobao's right arm, spoke up.

Vivian Chow guessed, "A surprise that can only be seen at sea? Pansy, you didn't buy an overseas island, did you?"

Liu Xiaobao agreed with Zhou Huimin's guess, since on the vast ocean, besides passing ships, all that's left are those islands.

However, He Chaoqiong did not give Liu Xiaobao and Zhou Huimin an answer. She just smiled mysteriously again and replied to the two of them: "It's supposed to be a surprise, so it wouldn't be fun if we knew beforehand. Just wait and see!"

Hearing He Chaoqiong say that, Liu Xiaobao and Zhou Huimin stopped asking questions and the three of them enjoyed the sea breeze while eating fruit.

Liu Xiaobao was enjoying himself the most, with He Chaoqiong feeding him a grape on his left and Zhou Huimin feeding him a bite of watermelon on his right.

About forty minutes later, a brand-new luxury cruise ship came into view!

As the yacht drew closer and closer to the luxury cruise ship, but its speed remained unchanged, Liu Xiaobao, who was sitting on the bow deck of the yacht, couldn't help but turn around and shout to the cockpit, "Su Jie, what are you doing? We're going to crash!"

With Liu Xiaobao's shout, the yacht finally slowed down, but it was still heading towards the large cruise ship.

Just as Liu Xiaobao was about to remind Su Jie again, He Chaoqiong spoke up from the side.

"Don't worry, honey, we're going to board this cruise ship. Su Jie is just pulling closer to the ship so we can get on!"

Hearing He Chaoqiong say this, Liu Xiaobao was immediately relieved, but then became puzzled again.

"Boarding the ship? Pansy's wife, the big surprise you were talking about isn't this big cruise ship, is it?"

He Chaoqiong stopped pretending to be mysterious and nodded: "That's right, that's it!"

Upon receiving confirmation from He Chaoqiong, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Chaoqiong, I can understand you buying a yacht, but buying such a large cruise ship is something I can't quite understand. Are you planning to travel around the world?"

He Chaoqiong rolled her eyes at Liu Xiaobao, but she didn't say anything more at this time, because the yacht had already approached the cruise ship. He Chaoqiong first invited everyone to board the ship, and then explained to Liu Xiaobao while introducing the ship.

“Honey, this cruise ship isn’t for us to travel the world, it’s for opening a casino. Our casino license allows for both land-based and sea-based casinos.”

“Our land-based casino in Las Vegas will take at least another ten months to build, but we can’t let the gambling license go to waste, so I booked this cruise ship a long time ago and plan to open the casino at sea first.”

"This cruise ship is a 120,000-ton vessel with a capacity of approximately 8,000 people. It has 15 decks in total: the top four are VIP cabins, the middle three are a casino, and the bottom eight are standard cabins and staff quarters. Besides the casino and cabins, it also has all other entertainment facilities."

After listening to He Chaoqiong's explanation, Liu Xiaobao finally understood the details.

The casino was not yet open to the public, so there were no other gamblers on the cruise ship, but the crew, security personnel, and service staff had already boarded.

What Liu Xiaobao noticed was that there were at least a thousand security personnel on the ship, a discovery that puzzled him.

So he asked He Chaoqiong curiously, "Chaoqiong, I just heard you say that this cruise ship can only hold eight thousand people, right? So you're going to send over a thousand security personnel. Doesn't that take up too much space?"

He Chaoqiong shook her head and explained.

“Honey, although casinos at sea are very mobile and seem free and easy, they are also very dangerous. Everyone knows that casinos are where the most cash is kept, so many pirates have their eyes on them. We don’t have many security personnel, and I have also prepared a lot of weapons on the ship to ensure the safety of the cruise ship. Only when the safety level is high can those gamblers feel at ease to come aboard and gamble.”

After hearing He Chaoqiong's explanation, Liu Xiaobao finally understood why so many security personnel were needed, and thought to himself that every industry has its own rules.

Liu Xiaobao didn't ask any further questions.

He still maintains the same attitude: he doesn't care about the process, he only cares about the result!

2.9 Leave the professional matters to the professionals. They only need to choose the investments and then reap the rewards.

Moreover, Liu Xiaobao was completely at ease entrusting the casino business to He Chaoqiong.

So Liu Xiaobao simply visited the cruise ship out of curiosity and didn't ask any further questions about related professional knowledge.

After touring the cruise ship, Liu Xiaobao was very satisfied with it.

At the very last moment, Liu Xiaobao asked He Chaoqiong curiously, "Chaoqiong, has this cruise ship been named yet?"

He Chaoqiong shook her head and smiled, "Not yet. That's why I brought you here. I'm waiting for you to name this cruise ship!"

Liu Xiaobao smiled, thought for a moment, and then gave a name.

"Treasure Trove! This is a treasure trove, let's call it the Treasure Trove!"

Chapter 197 Hitchhiking and Seeing Guan Meiren Again (Please Subscribe)

Three days after Liu Xiaobao named the ship "Jubaohao", the gambling ship, owned by Tianbao Gambling Company, set sail.

The initial route starts from Las Vegas, passes through Hong Kong to Taiwan, then to the waters off Japan and South Korea, before turning back to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and South Korea, and finally returning to Las Vegas.

There are no international restrictions for gamblers; there are dedicated solicitors in the waters of several countries along the way to get gamblers onto the cruise ship.

Of course, for safety reasons, although the gambling ship will always travel within the waters of these countries, the route will be random each time.

In this way, even if someone with ulterior motives wanted to take over the "Treasure Ship" gambling ship, they wouldn't be able to easily obtain its location.

On the day the "Treasure Trove" set sail, Liu Xiaobao also boarded the gambling ship.

He wasn't on board to experience the casino atmosphere, nor was he there to supervise the casino's operations; he was simply hitchhiking back to Huangpu River.

Having finished dealing with matters in Hong Kong, Liu Xiaobao was heading back to Shanghai. Coincidentally, the "Jubao" ship would be passing through Shanghai on its way to the waters off Japan and South Korea, so he decided to hitch a ride.

This way, you can not only observe the operation of the "Jubao" ship, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery at sea along the way.

Besides Su Jie, He Chaoqiong was also by Liu Xiaobao's side.

As the person in charge, He Chaoqiong naturally had to personally participate in this first launch.

Although Pansy Ho boarded the ship with Liu Xiaobao, she was unable to stay by his side the whole time because she had to manage various affairs of the gambling ship.

Perhaps due to prior promotion, the "Treasure Ship" had about two thousand gamblers boarded when it set sail from the casino, and picked up more than a thousand gamblers when it arrived in Hong Kong.

However, since the purpose of gamblers going to the casino is to gamble, the 'Treasure Trove' did not sail very fast; in fact, it could be described as slow.

It takes a day and a night to sail from Las Vegas to Taiwan alone. If we calculate it that way, it would take at least two days and one night to sail from Taiwan to Huangpu River. Fortunately, Liu Xiaobao was not in a hurry, so he did not urge him.

On the "Treasure Ship", Liu Xiaobao only glanced at the casino when it first set sail, and then never went to the casino's floor again.

He simply enjoyed the ship's amenities, such as enjoying the sea breeze and sunshine in the outdoor pool, relaxing with a massage at the massage parlor, or having a drink, listening to music, and watching a show at the bar.

Not long after the 'Treasure Ship' left the waters off Hong Kong, an unexpected figure appeared in front of Liu Xiaobao.

And this unexpected person is a woman.

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao was lying by the pool sunbathing, and Su Jie was also lying on another deck chair next to him when a beautiful woman walked up to Liu Xiaobao.

"Mr. Bao, what a coincidence! I can't believe I've run into you here!"

Upon hearing the woman's words, Liu Xiaobao opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.

Upon seeing the woman's face clearly, Liu Xiaobao felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

Liu Xiaobao knew the woman beside him and had even had some "deep" conversations with her.

This woman was none other than Guan Zhilin, the beauty who had spent a night with Liu Xiaobao and was subsequently rejected by him.

Upon seeing Guan Zhilin, Liu Xiaobao's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Miss Guan? What a coincidence! I didn't expect to find you on this gambling ship."

Guan Zhilin didn't explain why she boarded the ship, but simply pointed to the empty chair on the other side next to Liu Xiaobao and asked him, "Mr. Bao, may I sit next to you?"

Liu Xiaobao said calmly, "Since this place is empty, Miss Guan, please make yourself at home!"

Guan Zhilin slowly lay down on the deck chair, looked at Liu Xiaobao, and said, "I came on the ship with a friend. I really didn't expect to run into you, Mr. Bao. But Mr. Bao, why didn't you go to the casino when you got on the gambling ship?"

Upon hearing Guan Zhilin's words, Liu Xiaobao subconsciously assumed that she had accompanied a wealthy man onto the ship. As a result, Liu Xiaobao, who already disliked Guan Zhilin, became even more unwilling to talk to her.

Liu Xiaobao closed his eyes and said softly, "My head hurts. I came up here to rest. Miss Guan, please don't talk anymore. I want to take a nap."

"Oh, Mr. Bao, you can go to sleep now, I won't disturb you!"

Guan Zhilin agreed, and then indeed remained silent.

However, Guan Zhilin did not leave. Instead, she remained lying in the chair, quietly watching Liu Xiaobao.

Although Liu Xiaobao had his eyes closed, he could feel Guan Zhilin watching him.

Honestly, Liu Xiaobao felt very uncomfortable being stared at like that by Guan Zhilin. Besides, he wasn't really trying to sleep; he was just pretending, which made the act even more uncomfortable.

So Liu Xiaobao decided to flee the scene of the accident.

After pretending for about three minutes, Liu Xiaobao suddenly sat up, called out to Su Jie, and then ran towards the cabin while clutching his stomach.

Seeing this, Guan Zhilin looked on with a puzzled expression and called out to Liu Xiaobao, "Boss Bao, where are you going?"
