Broken Tooth Koi smiled and said, "Yes, we'll get rich together with our brothers. From now on, we'll work for Mr. Ni. We have a long road ahead of us."

……

The mansion is so spacious that it's large enough to grow trees indoors.

Upon entering, one is greeted by pristine white and elegant columns, which not only showcase the grandeur of the mansion but also highlight the noble status of its owner, making one feel as if entering a palace.

This is the private villa that the gambling king He Xin loved most. He owns countless properties, but he prefers this one, which blends modern and Portuguese architectural styles.

He Xin's black hair is mostly gray, but instead of making him look old, he looks energetic.

In front of him was a photograph, and upon closer inspection, it was Ni Yongyao.

In front of He Xin was a man dressed in a suit, but whose manners were far from elegant; instead, he was boisterous and acted like a thug. This man was his good brother, Anan.

Looking at the photo, He Xin shook his head and said, "This Ni Yongyao has caused quite a stir as soon as he arrived in Haojiang. His methods are extraordinary."

“Anan, what do you think the Ni family’s purpose is? They’ve also acquired nearly 50 percent of the shares in the Lisboa Hotel. I think it’s necessary to meet with them.”

Guo Yingnan pondered for a moment, and upon hearing the name Ni Yongyao, he dropped his playful expression and said solemnly, "Ah Xin, if you want to provoke the Ni family, I advise you to give up that idea."

"As you know, I have a group of desperados under my command, some of whom came from Hong Kong Island. But these desperados are terrified of the name '460' when they hear Ni Yongyao's name. Do you understand what I mean?"

Guo Yingnan took a deep breath, knowing how powerful the Ni family was in Hong Kong, with influence in both the legal and illegal worlds: "And no matter whether we play the open or the covert game, we can never be a match for the Ni family."

“Those who oppose Ni Yongyao all suffer terrible consequences, so I think since the Ni family has appeared in Macau, we should befriend them.”

He Xin hadn't expected that even his old friend was so wary of the Ni family's power; it seemed that this young man, Ni Yongyao, was truly extraordinary.

"I see a reflection of my younger self in him."

He Xin joked, "Besides, I have no grudge against him, so why would I provoke him? Even if I am the gambling king of Macau, I only own half of the casinos."

"As for the remaining half, it's in the hands of the foreigners. Ni Yongyao wants to expand the casino, and I can cooperate with him, but these foreigners may not be willing."

He Xin's gaze was indifferent. Even if the sky fell, there would be someone above to hold it up. Besides, this territory of Haojiang was not under his control, but rather ruled by foreign devils.

He had served more than ten governors in total, so he had a decent reputation. However, the new governor was not very friendly.

Guo Yingnan sneered: "I get angry just thinking about these foreigners. This newly appointed governor, Amarius, is probably a reincarnation of a starving ghost."

“He now controls 70% of the business of casinos in Macau. Not only that, he wants to eat all the profits of casinos in four of the seven districts. He also has real estate business and even gets involved in bridge and road construction. His behavior is too ugly.”

He Xinwen said dismissively: "This Amazon is probably the last governor of Macau. Macau is about to return to the mainland. How can he be willing to do so without making some money?"

"However, his appetite is indeed bigger than that of the previous governors, and his methods are more radical."

He Xin knew that this governor was so greedy that he wanted to pocket all the money from the casinos, which made it difficult for them to make money internally.

Guo Yingnan's words carried a hint of sarcasm: "As expected, they're trying to make one last quick buck and run away. Anyway, we can't do anything to these foreigners, since Macau is still under lease."

"However, seeing these foreigners making money, although I can't say I'm particularly patriotic, I still understand the principles of being a decent human being."

"Ah Xin, do you have any ideas on how to deal with these foreigners?"

Guo Yingnan is well aware that most of the tax revenue in Haojiang comes from casinos. If they don't make money from gamblers, whose money will they make? The local industries are casinos, tourism, and hotels.

However, this governor was too greedy, and it was impossible to assassinate him, as that would cause international problems, and this period was still quite sensitive.

Let's see if He Xin can win the rights.

Upon hearing this, He Xin shook his head: "I'm already overwhelmed with problems myself. Although I'm the president of the He Group, these veterans are all taking advantage of their status and don't respect me."

"Including Nie Aotian, who has already come up with a lot of crooked ideas and is probably planning to sideline me as the president."

He Xin shrugged. His group was also having problems. He was relatively tolerant of Nie Aotian's actions. After all, when he was penniless, it was Nie Aotian who took a liking to him and helped him build the empire.

However, people from two different eras ultimately have different views. Nie Aotian still believes that seniority is more important than ability. No matter how capable you are, you still have to be respectful to these old directors.

Upon hearing this, Anan frowned: "Doesn't Nie Aotian know when to back down at his age? He's earned enough money to support himself in his old age, yet he's still eyeing your position as president?"

"Should I kill him?"

He Xin sighed, "I owe my current position to his promotion. I will remember this kindness and will not repay it with enmity. He did not use any underhanded means; he was just trying to embarrass me."

"But I will never give away He Xin's things. If he goes too far, I will ask him to leave the group."

He Xin didn't want to go to such extremes, but if Nie Aotian continued to pressure him, he wouldn't be so soft-hearted.

Although he wore a suit and tie, he had been involved in quite a few fights and killings.

The God of Gamblers may lose, the Saint of Gamblers may lose, but the King of Gamblers will never lose. Once he sits at the gambling table, no one can beat him.

However, He Xin looked at Ni Yongyao's photo again and sighed:

“I have to deal with the Ni family’s matter. Although Gao Laosi is not one of my men, he works for the foreigners, and the governor has already taken notice of the Ni family.”

“Even if I don’t show up, the foreigners will still contact Ni Yongyao. I plan to take advantage of this family dinner to invite Ni Yongyao over.”

He Xin had been looking for an opportunity to meet Ni Yongyao, and the acquisition of the shares of the Lisboa Hotel presented a good chance. He arranged a family dinner to invite Ni Yongyao over, where they could also discuss cooperation.

Guo Yingnan smiled and said, "I think it would be better to use someone else to do the dirty work. Let the Ni family and the foreigners have a conflict, and you can fan the flames from the sidelines. You won't lose out, will you?"

"The premise is that the Ni family doesn't find out, otherwise we'll end up pleasing neither side."

He Xinwen said that he resolutely rejected the proposal: "No matter how powerful the Ni family is, I can still make a living in Haojiang. Why take this risk?"

"Moreover, with Macau's return to the mainland in the future, there will definitely be major changes within Macau. There are too many things we need to prepare for. Gaming licenses may even need to be redistributed. That's what we need to consider."

He Xin is a smart man. He doesn't want to provoke either side right now, and even if he uses someone else to do his dirty work, it won't do him much good.

Guo Yingnan laughed heartily: "There's no need to worry about that. I've already traveled back and forth to the mainland as a patriotic businessman and will soon establish the first White Swan five-star hotel. The mainland welcomes us to do business here."

"However, I won't be attending the family dinner afterwards. I happen to be away on a business trip during that time. Why don't you invest some money to support the mainland?"

He Xin squinted his eyes: "Don't worry, I've been working on these things for a while now, and I'll soon have the support of the mainland."

After saying that, He Xin lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. He was in a difficult situation. Inside, Nie Aotian was being aggressive, and outside, the foreigners were constantly putting pressure on him and squeezing out the casino's profits.

Caught in the middle, I need someone to break the deadlock, and Ni Yongyao's appearance might be an opportunity; he has a keen eye for people.

Just then, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out:

"Uncle Nan, Father, why are you discussing this for so long?"

At this moment, a woman in a formal dress walked over with a pout, her every move full of coquettishness. Upon closer inspection...

She has a small, square face, round eyes with droopy corners, and large, bright black pupils, giving her an innocent look.

Her long, thin eyelashes made her eyes appear large and bright. Her features combined to create a youthful and innocent look, a natural charm and a pure, innocent appearance. Just standing there, she was already endearing.

He Xin stubbed out his cigarette and said indulgently, "Didn't I tell you that your Uncle Nan and I are talking and you shouldn't come in?"

Although He Xin said this, his words were full of affection.

She was He Xin's daughter, He Tian'er, but this daughter was not his biological child. Even He Xin didn't know this; only Anan knew.

Whether he was biologically his son or not was irrelevant now, Guo Yingnan laughed heartily:

"Tian'er, you're getting more and more beautiful. You're the most beautiful woman in Haojiang. Plus, with your father's status, I remember there were quite a few men pursuing you."

He Tian'er ran up to Guo Yingnan and rubbed his shoulders: "Uncle Nan, please stop teasing me. I don't think much of those people. None of them are outstanding."

"They're either eyeing my assets, Dr. He, or they're leering at me. I have absolutely no interest in them."

In fact, He Tian didn't like the title of "King of Gambling" and preferred to be called Dr. He, because he did indeed have three doctoral degrees, proving that he was a highly educated intellectual.

He Xin sighed, "You're too picky. The people I introduced to you are all industry elites, rare young talents in Haojiang, and you still don't like them. I really can't help you."

He Tian'er said aggrievedly, "Dad, those people you mentioned are rich, but they're not good-looking. And the good-looking ones have ulterior motives towards our family. How am I supposed to think about that?"

Just as she finished speaking, He Tian'er noticed the photo on the table, her eyes lighting up instantly. She picked up the photo and looked at it...

Ni Yongyao, dressed in a suit, exuded a sense of mystery from beginning to end. His temperament was very similar to his father's, not the kind of forced maturity.

He Tian'er was immediately captivated after just one glance: "Dad, is this the blind date you introduced me to? He's really cool!"

"When can we meet? I'm very interested."

Looking at the photo, He Tian'er felt a surge of affection and attraction. She was indeed not young anymore and had studied abroad for a period of time, but had not yet found the right person.

Upon hearing this, Guo Yingnan burst into laughter:

“Tian’er, if you can catch up with him, your dad will probably throw a big banquet for all the high society in Macau, and it will last for three days and three nights.”

"Even Hong Kong's richest man, Wai Ka-shing, will personally come to give you a gift."

Guo Yingnan couldn't help but laugh and make a joke, saying that He Tian'er had a very good eye.

He Xin was both amused and exasperated. It was true that his daughter had a discerning eye, but she was also ruthless. He never expected her to fall for Ni Yongyao.

Ni Yongyao's status is no less than his, and may even be more powerful.

Because Ni Yongyao calls the shots on the entire Hong Kong Island, but the Pearl River Delta is not his personal fiefdom.

He Tian'er also caught Guo Yingnan's teasing, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief:

"Uncle Nan, is this young man really that powerful?"

Guo Yingnan nodded and said, "He's not only powerful, but he also started from scratch. He's more famous than your father and me. He calls the shots in the whole of Hong Kong."

"No matter how capable your father is, he can't possibly treat him like a junior. But it all depends on whether you have the ability to help your father win back this son-in-law."

He Xin shook his head and said, "Ah Tian, ​​don't be silly. Although he's about the same age as that girl, in his eyes you're just a little girl."

"Most people are indeed not good enough for you given your status, but there are some people we can't afford to mess with."

He Xin didn't want his daughter to get into any trouble, especially romantic entanglements. With Ni Yongyao's status and position, he would never lack beautiful women around him.
