Chapter 324 Wei Guanghong's High-Stakes Gamble! Kong Zhiyong's Trembling!
Macau Wynn Casino.
Inside the magnificent VIP lounge.
The burly Wei Guanghong was slumped over the gambling table.
His scarlet eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
The veins in his hands, which were twisting the cards with force, bulged as if he wanted to crush the thin cards.
Several gamblers gathered around him, their eyes wide and their expressions extremely tense.
"Blow! Blow! Blow!"
The shouts from the crowd grew louder with each passing moment.
Eager to see the results, Wei Guanghong was too lazy to slowly arrange the cards.
Sudden.
He raised his hand and slammed it hard onto the card table.
"457, sixteen points, the banker has 19 points, the banker wins!"
After announcing the news loudly, the dealer took away a large pile of chips.
Wei Guanghong was furious when he lost all his chips in his last gamble.
Instead of getting angry at the dealer, he turned to look at the gamblers watching the spectacle.
"Oh shit!"
"Blow, blow, blow!"
"Shut up, you motherfucker!"
"Get the hell out of here! Get out!!"
Wei Guanghong, who was blinded by defeat, was filled with murderous intent and fury.
He was a typical burly man from Northeast China, tall and imposing.
When he got angry, he was naturally fierce and menacing, scaring the gamblers into quickly making their escape.
Wei Guanghong plopped down, annoyed and frustrated. He opened his cigarette pack, wanting to smoke a cigarette, only to find that there were none left.
"Grass!!"
Wei Guanghong crumpled the cigarette pack into a ball and threw it hard on the ground.
The waiter, who had been hiding in the distance, mustered his courage and was about to go forward to offer cigarettes.
Zou Jiahua, who had spent a huge sum of money to rent out this VIP room, quickly gestured for the waiter to step back.
Then he took out a cigarette, smiled, and quickly stepped forward.
"Brother Hong!!"
Zou Jiahua, all smiles, bent over and offered a cigarette with both hands.
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face!
Even if Wei Guanghong is very angry.
Of course, it's impossible for him to get angry at Zou Jiahua, whose nickname is 'Dimihua'.
In Macau, junket operators have a very close working relationship with casinos.
They not only contracted the VIP rooms in the casino, but also continuously attracted customers to the casino, and then split the profits according to a percentage.
Since most of the casino's profits come from VIP rooms, the casino will naturally support junket operators unconditionally in any situation.
Junket operators bring wealthy clients to VIP rooms, but they don't earn much from commissions. Their main income comes from lending money to clients and earning interest.
Zou Jiahua's boss was once an underground tycoon in Macau. At his peak, he monopolized the entire Macau casino junket business and was known as the Underground Gambling King.
Three years ago, in order to avoid being severely punished in the crackdown, Zou Jiahua's boss voluntarily went to prison, and Zou Jiahua, as his confidant, inherited his mantle.
So even though the security situation in Haomen is better than before, with less fighting and killing, Zou Jiahua, who is known as the new underground gambling king, is obviously not someone who can be easily offended.
not to mention……
Wei Guanghong, who has had bad luck this month, has already owed Zou Jiahua a lot of money.
"Get those bastards out of here!"
"Damn, this is so noisy!"
Wei Guanghong accepted the cigarette.
Zou Jiahua immediately produced a lighter as if by magic and quickly lit it for Wei Guanghong.
"No problem, I'll have them play at another table right away!"
As he spoke, Zou Jiahua quickly gave the others a meaningful look.
Wei Guanghong, sitting casually in his chair, took a deep drag on his cigarette.
Cigarettes did not improve his irritable and frustrated mood; on the contrary, they made him even more anxious and angry.
Having been in the business for over a decade, Zou Jiahua has naturally developed the ability to read people's expressions and moods.
After pulling up a chair and sitting down, he didn't rush to speak.
After smoking silently for a while, Wei Guanghong finally said with a chuckle:
"My luck's not so good today. How about we go upstairs for a sauna to cool down, have a good meal, get some sleep, and then play again tomorrow?"
Wei Guanghong frowned and asked:
What's the date today?
"Number twelve!"
"What? It's already... the 12th?"
Wei Guanghong was somewhat taken aback.
I played for three days and two nights straight, and I wasn't sleepy at all.
This casino really does seem to have some kind of magical power.
People gamble wildly here, oblivious to day and night, as well as hunger, thirst, and fatigue.
"It's the 12th, Brother Hong. The WTO ministerial meeting the day before yesterday officially passed the resolution for our Dragon Country to join the WTO. Yesterday, the National Games held in Guangdong Province across the way also officially opened!"
Knowing that Wei Guanghong's background was not simple, Zou Jiahua told him the details before he could ask about any major events that had recently occurred at home or abroad.
"What day of the week is it today?"
Wei Guanghong asked urgently.
"It's Monday!"
As he spoke, Zou Jiahua raised his wrist to look at his watch.
"It's 7:30 PM now, are you heading back?"
Wei Guanghong shook his head.
"If it's only Monday, then there's no rush. I've arranged to meet my brother on Wednesday."
"But if you book me a flight back to Yanjing for tomorrow afternoon, and give me another 20 million in chips, I refuse to believe I can't make up for my losses!"
Upon hearing Wei Guanghong's words, Zou Jiahua's smile immediately turned somewhat awkward.
"Brother Hong, booking your plane ticket is no problem, but this bargaining chip... I advise you not to take it!"
"Don't get angry yet, let me finish speaking, okay?"
"It's not that I'm afraid you can't pay me back. Do you think I don't know your capabilities?"
“If I were just trying to make money off you, I would definitely give you the chips without hesitation. Let alone 20 million, I would love for you to get 200 million.”
“But we’ve been doing business together for so many years, you’re no longer just a customer, you’re my brother, Dimihua. Since we’re brothers, I have to give you some advice.”
"You've been playing for almost three days and three nights straight. Even if you were made of iron, you'd be exhausted by now. Besides, you've clearly been having bad luck this time. How can I just stand by and watch you lose more and more?"
“You’re here to have fun and relax, not like those gamblers who hope to get rich through gambling. So you should rest when you need to. We’ll have plenty of time to play in the future, so why push yourself so hard?”
……
Zou Jiahua gave a long and earnest pep talk.
Every word he spoke was spoken with utmost sincerity.
His words seemed to convey the concern of a brother.
It's not that I'm afraid Wei Guanghong can't afford to lose or pay back the money, but I'm worried about his health.
But in fact……
As a junket operator, as a businessman.
Of course, Zou Jiahua also needs to be careful with her money.
He has lent Wei Guanghong more than 100 million yuan in total.
For ordinary people, let alone more than 100 million.
More than a million is already an astronomical figure.
Even if Wei Guanghong has a strong background in mainland China, making money is not difficult for him.
But Zou Jiahua also has to worry that he might refuse to pay back the money!
If he doesn't pay, I'll have to pay the casino debt on his behalf.
While offering words of comfort, Zou Jiahua also made sure to have tea brought over.
The bitter taste of tea can make one feel much more awake as soon as it enters the throat.
Wei Guanghong was initially somewhat unwilling.
He won quite a bit when he first came to Haomen to play.
In a good mood, he even called his good friend Gu Jinyang to inquire about the progress of military reforms.
who knows……
Gu Jinyang later called him back.
Make him return the bank card he's been holding for safekeeping.
Thinking about the dividends that should have been given to Gu Jinyang, he realized that he had already misappropriated them all.
Then I realized that before returning the card to him on Wednesday, I needed to find a way to deposit some money into it.
It seems that ever since then, I've had a run of bad luck, losing more than I've won.
Until that last gamble, they lost everything.
However, he dared not vent his anger on Gu Jinyang.
His father, Gu Maoyuan, is a three-star general in charge of logistics!
"Alright, since I'm having bad luck this time, I'm not playing anymore."
"Quickly arrange two nice foreign girls for me!"
"Damn it, I really need to cool down!"
After saying that, Wei Guanghong threw the cigarette butt into his teacup, picked up his bag, and stood up.
"Don't worry, Brother Hong, I'll arrange two cherry blossom girls for you, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Zou Jiahua had a fawning smile on her face.
They escorted Wei Guanghong out of the VIP room as if he were a VIP.
Neon lights have long since adorned the city of Haomen, making it dazzling and extravagant.
I strode into the sightseeing elevator and went up.
Looking at the enchanting night view, Wei Guanghong couldn't help but exclaim:
"Damn, Haomen is so much fun!"
"I wish I could stay here every single day!"
Zou Jiahua said with a fawning smile, "Brother, since you like Haomen so much, why don't you transfer your household registration here? I have a way to take care of it for you!"
Wei Guanghong chuckled softly.
"I know you have a way to get it done, but if I settle here, how the hell am I supposed to make money over there?"
"But speaking of which, we in mainland China are too conservative. Among prostitution, gambling, and drugs, drugs are too harmful and should be banned, but why do we crack down on prostitution and gambling?"
"Damn it, prostitution and gambling have existed for thousands of years. It's impossible to ban them. Instead of trying to eradicate them, I think it would be better to completely liberalize them. That would actually promote economic development!"
Zou Jiahua smiled but remained silent.
I couldn't help but think to myself, if the mainland opens up, who would still come to Haomen to play?
Especially those wealthy corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen.
The reason they came to Haomen is precisely because it's safe and legal here, isn't it?
Zou Jiahua, who has been in the industry for many years, is well aware of the harm caused by pornography, gambling, and drugs.
Whether it's advocating for liberalization or claiming minimal harm, it doesn't matter.
Anyone who wants to legalize prostitution, gambling, and drugs is either stupid or malicious.
Many people don't realize that capital's greed for profits is insatiable.
Once prostitution, gambling, and drugs are legalized, capital will have countless ways to make people willingly become addicted to them and unable to extricate themselves.
What should I do if I have no money but still can't quit?
Naturally, one can only sell one's dignity and body, and with too many competitors, there is no right to bargain.
Just like in Haomen, there are many heavily indebted gamblers who are already homeless.
They don't even need to be forced; for a little money, they'll commit murder, sell their bodies, get pregnant for others, and sell organs...
To ensure that the people are the masters of their own destiny and that everyone lives with equality and dignity, people cannot be forced to sell their bodies and souls to survive.
of course.
From a personal standpoint, Zou Jiahua would love for China to maintain a normalized policy of strict crackdowns and severe punishments for all kinds of crimes.
Only in this way will more people like Wei Guanghong, who are rich, powerful, and yearn for freedom, come to Haomen to gamble and have a wild time.
The more people come to play and the bigger the bets, the more people will borrow money from him to try and win back their losses, and the more he can earn.
With commissions and interest already paid out, what's a little bit of money when it comes to food, drinks and entertainment?
Anyway, the money comes from the sheep!
