It didn't take long for the formalities at the casino to come down. In the Chinese community of Vladivostok, everyone could not believe that the procedures of the casino were coveted by many Russians. They couldn't do it, but they were done by a Chinese, which is simply a fantasy. From that day on, my brothers and I were in Vladivostok, getting involved in the ancient industry of casinos, and our lives were turned upside down, like a thrilling and exciting movie.
The third grandfather was the first one who didn't want me to engage in this industry from the bottom of his heart. Although I was far away in the Northeast, he immediately dialed my phone and asked me in the first sentence, "My grandson, is it really so difficult to do business?" Is there no other business to do? Do you have to do this business of opening a casino? What do you think about getting involved in the gambling industry?
This is really a soul question, and I was speechless for a while. Actually, where did the third grandfather know, I just talked to Sergei casually, but I didn't expect this old brother to take it seriously. Vladivostok is the only part of the Far Eastern Primorsky that is involved in the gambling industry, and the previous governor implemented a gambling franchise, although Vladivostok is such a large place and is also a military port. Before it was liberalized, tourism was also a big deal. The merchants from Japan and South Korea are all rushing to be able to gamble. There are only three gambling licenses in Vladivostok, so you can imagine how difficult it must be to compete for this license. Obtaining the license is equivalent to obtaining the mining right of the mine.
Fifteen years have passed since the previous one took over the license, and the owner of the monopoly gambling industry in Vladivostok is the owner of the Southeast Asian Golden Jiujin. I suspect that this Jin Jiu is not his real name, but a flower name. This Jin Jiu monopolized a lot of resources in Vladivostok, hotels, song halls, baths, bars and performance halls, I roughly calculated, just these eating, drinking and playing, the annual profit accounted for eighty percent of the entire Vladivostok gambling industry. Such a dominant team, and all of them went into the pockets of Boss Jin's family, especially the new Sergei, can he not think about this matter, and there is nothing Sergei has to do at all.
I don't think I'm the one who knows Sergei best, but if I become the boss of this term, I'll also kill this fattened pig and raise another pig again. Before I took over this, I thought it was a joke, even a joke. It was originally a joke between me and Sergei, so why take it seriously. However, it took me a whole night of sleepless sleep that I understood Sergei's true intentions.
That night, when I figured it all out, I was so excited that I quickly dialed Sergey's phone. I told Sergei that I was a serious businessman, and I despised this kind of off-the-beaten-path business. In my opinion, gambling is nothing more than putting money in one person's pocket into another's pocket, adding a lot of contradictions, and not benefiting all ordinary people at all. If this out-of-the-way business is monopolized by some people at the same time, it will not be beneficial to the state government and local taxes. That boss Jin is the selfish person who lies on the mountain of gold and puts gold in his pocket.
Sergei said, I just didn't see the wrong person, if you don't understand such a height, but just see the money, then I will definitely take back the license as soon as possible. Tell me what else you have in mind.
I know, Sergey and I thought to go together. So, I said, in my heart, I am the last person to take over such a deal, and no one can get out of it. If you can't get it, you'll have to put yourself in it.
Sergey said that only you Easterners will have such thoughts, because greed is the greatest evil.
I said, yes, the more money you make, the more people think about you, and the more wicked people there are. So, I don't want to follow the old path of Boss Kim in the past. My only idea is to change to another model, to invest the profits of the gambling industry in charity and municipal construction, in addition to distributing part of the benefits to shareholders, to use the gambling industry to do good, if so, it is a mountain of swords, I also want to join in this side door.
I could feel Sergei's smile on the other end of the phone, and maybe the advice I said hit him right in the heart. Sergey said, you are really my nobleman, you have solved this difficult problem that has been buried in my heart for a long time. That's right, the gambling industry must create jobs for those locals, create opportunities for survival, and give back to the society, which is our ultimate goal. In other words, you are also good at municipal infrastructure, money, it depends on where you earn it, don't you have a saying, that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.
That's right, with Sergei's support, I was even more determined in my choice. I didn't sleep much that night.
I want to call Zhao Lao Liu, he is from the background of demolition, and there were many demolition factories in Shandong in the early years. Wenzhou Zhuang told me that he could do it without anyone else. I'm right when I think about it, isn't he just doing the demolition with Zhao Lao Liu and becoming an opponent.
When I was fortunate enough to have the third gaming license, I also became Jin Jiuye's biggest rival. That old man even announced the new seven points to me directly, and every intimidation was aimed at me. The first one was to kill me, I don't remember the others, and the other was to throw grenades at my new casino so that customers would never return. Another rule is to close all his own hotels, that is, to leave all the gamblers who come without a place to stay. This Jin Laojiu is really vicious, he is simply going to divide my five horses. This is hating me to the extreme.
It's a whole new place, and if you're not careful, it's really easy to fall apart. This Jin Lao Jiu is clearly provocative to me, because I moved his cheese. The three lame men said, let's talk about peace, can we do it together with a license, wouldn't it be good for everyone to have money to earn together?
I said, three lame people, do you think it is feasible to cooperate with him, people want your life, they want to crush you, you think you can just obey it.
Wenzhou Zhuang said, just do it, nothing else.
The fifth brother also agreed with Wenzhou Zhuang's statement, only the three lame people looked at each other there. Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a cripple, after all, it is not easy to make money. I said, then the fish will die, and I am not frightened, so he didn't discuss.
So, I asked Wenzhou Zhuang to speak in the Chinese circle in Vladivostok, and also asked the fifth brother to speak in the skinhead circle, saying that I would give a million US dollars, and if I was killed, within forty-eight hours, whoever killed the murderer, the million would go directly to the most famous godfather in Vladivostok to take it. After the words were released, I had no distractions to go for a walk, and I should drink when I should drink. I didn't even have a bodyguard around.
The year my entertainment company opened was also the happiest and most relaxed year for me. Money is like a flying piece of paper, it's like a money printing machine. Especially the VIP customers from Southeast Asia are simply spending a lot of money, and I like such customers. I invited the most beautiful little hairy girl in Vladivostok to be a dealer, even if I don't play with money, just looking at it is enough for a pot. After all the money from the casino is distributed to the shareholders, I take out all the remaining profits and give them to the charity run by the Vladivostok government to run a charity or donate it to the city government of Vladivostok so that they can have enough funds to repair the municipal works.
Sergey, of course, is at an all-time high. He didn't forget to give me back the money, the municipal construction company in Wenzhou Zhuang has almost a monopoly on all municipal construction in Vladivostok.
In this matter, I will still thank Sergey. However, there is one thing that I never expect, and there is an invisible hand reaching out to me and these good friends of mine.
