The Red Rose Casino Hotel has officially reopened. Firecrackers were set off all day long, and at night, it turned into a fireworks feast. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the VIP room, bright colorful flowers bloomed from time to time in the night sky.
Lu Ming, Hovers, Asaba Nagamasa, and James were in this private room.
The business reopened today, and Asaba Nagamasa and James came in person to congratulate.
Now of course the four of them were just playing a few small games, but their main focus was on discussing matters.
They were still playing with three cards, with Becky dealing the cards. Because the matter they were discussing was rather private, and there were only five of them in the room, if they needed tea or something like that, Becky would press the red service bell, and a row of waiters would already be standing outside the suite.
Becky is wearing a bunny girl croupier costume, with a cool and delicate face, and a tall and sexy figure, which makes every man drool.
Lu Ming felt helpless and chauvinistic. He thought that these things should be read by himself and put away at home.
However, Becky likes this job very much, and there are enough women hidden in her home. If one or two of them come out to work, it will give her a different sense of freshness.
Hmm? Lu Ming looked at the leopard head in his hand, and saw Becky winking at him secretly. Her big blue eyes were highlighted with shiny brown eyelashes, and her long eyelashes were blinking gently, which was very charming and attractive. He couldn't help but smile.
Becky doesn't have any special abilities, she just relies on shuffling the cards to determine the order, which is very impressive.
Of course, today's game wasn't a real gamble, she was just playing some tricks to win my favor.
"One hundred, no meeting." Lu Ming smiled and threw in a chip, and then said, "World Entertainment Company, I don't think it will work!"
It was Hovers, Asaba Nagamasa and James who were planning to set up a "World Entertainment Company" together. However, in reality, the Ginza Club was just going to leverage on the reputation of the Red Rose. Hovers would still manage his own Red Rose, while Asaba Nagamasa and James would manage Ginza. However, 10% of Ginza's annual profits would be transferred to Hovers.
It is a bit similar to the brand franchise fee in the previous life. To outsiders, Red Rose and Ginza are one and the same.
So, if you like Western-style casinos, go to Red Rose, and if you like Eastern-style casinos, go to Ginza.
The scandal that occurred in Ginza a few days ago will soon be over.
But Hovers will definitely suffer a loss. As a time-honored brand with more than ten years of history and the number one casino hotel in Shengjing and even in the Northern Region, it is about to be borrowed by an up-and-coming company and a competitor for no reason.
Asaba Nagamasa and James would actually feel aggrieved and would only resort to temporary measures. Once things calm down, they might cause some unexpected trouble.
There is no need to think about it. If after half a year or a year, I still haven't become one with them, I'm afraid all kinds of gunmen and killers will come and kill me as soon as possible, so that I can vent my anger.
Especially James, who was afraid that he had paid the bulk of the 30 million and his family assets were all gone. I heard that he sold all the bonds and many real estates in his hands.
It must have cost a great price to have sought refuge with the Japanese in order to live in peace. Now with this disturbance, I am afraid that all the accumulation of many years will be destroyed in an instant.
Would he be willing to continue like this and become a collaborator in his own circle
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "This is definitely not an option. Mr. Qianyu, Representative James, I think your casinos should just compete normally. Shengjing can still accommodate two top casinos. I originally proposed a joint venture, but I didn't want you to make do with it. Partners and partners, if you make do with it temporarily for some reason, you will definitely become enemies in the end. Don't be offended by my frankness."
Hovers, Asaba Nagamasa and James said nothing, but they all knew that what Lu Ming said made sense.
Lu Ming sipped his tea and continued, "I'm not afraid of offending anyone when I say this. I deserve the 30 million. Whether Ginza lives or dies has nothing to do with me and Hovers. However, I received a call from Bailou, so I also gave in. There are interest-free installments, and the municipal construction of Rizhao New District uses your Japanese construction team and raw materials. I used them to discount the last 5 million. But don't we have construction teams and raw materials in Montenegro? I think I have done my best!"
Asaba Nagamasa and James remained silent, their faces looking a little grim.
Hovers was secretly sweating.
Lu Ming said, "So, I think the whole thing should stop here. You are the VIPs of the Lao Huo Hotel's reopening. Lao Huo and I are grateful to you two. As for the cooperation between Red Rose and Ginza, if it is this model, forget it. The joint venture I mentioned at the beginning is that you Ginza will make a price, and Red Rose will make a price. Find an accountant to calculate it carefully, including intangible assets such as brand. In the end, you decide who has the right share. My rough feeling is that Ginza can get about 15% of the company's shares."
Hovers was just about to drink his coffee when he choked and started coughing loudly.
Asaba Nagamasa smiled and said, "Red Rose is well-known in Shengjing and even in the north. It is indeed, as Commissioner Zhang said, a very valuable intangible asset."
He kept his composure, but James snorted coldly, "Ginza's newcomers, in time, who knows who will be able to gain a foothold in Shengjing!"
Lu Ming smiled: "So, if you think like this, you don't have any basis for cooperation at all. According to your model, it couldn't be easier to separate in the future. It's like Lao Huo is helping you through the difficulties and sharing the customers with you. When Ginza is fully grown, you can beat him up! There is no such cooperation in business. This is called bullying! People who don't know would think that I owe you money and Lao Huo is helping me repay the favor!"
"I'm leaving!" James stood up suddenly and walked out.
Asaba Nagamasa smiled and said, "I'll go and persuade him, Hovers, business is booming!"
The spy chief is really ruthless.
Hovers hurriedly stood up to see them off. After a moment he turned back and gave Lu Ming a wry smile.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "We are not the same kind of people, why do we have to squeeze together? At first, I was afraid that the 30 million would cause too many twists and turns, such as going to court. Now that I have basically got it, it is best to draw a clear line with them, so that they will not take advantage of you." He paused, "However, within this year, you cannot cripple Asaba Nagamasa or James. They both owe me 5 million, and I have a year to pay it back. Alas, this is a bit wrong."
Hovers finally nodded: "This is good, it's clean and I feel at ease!"
After all, he is a local tycoon, but his hands are tied now. If he were really an ordinary person, how could he become the entertainment king of Shengjing or even the Northern Territory
Lu Ming smiled and said, "That's right, why should you be afraid of them? I have your backing! I have two thousand special agents, and anyone who doesn't behave will be shot down!" He patted Hovers on the shoulder.
Although Lu Ming was joking, Hovers understood that what he said was indeed the truth. In Shengjing, the first person who should not be provoked right now is probably Commissioner Zhang, because the forces in his hands are all directly commanded by him and act according to his orders. He can really mobilize two thousand fully armed assaulters to shoot people.
If others, such as the Japanese gendarmerie, want to launch a large-scale military operation, it is not up to the Japanese commander in Shengjing to decide. They must obtain a secret order from the military in Kyoto.
There's no way, after all, this Commissioner Zhang is General Lu's confidant. Not only is he the head of the Black Mountain secrecy system, but it is said that he has the power to mobilize the entire Shengjing and nearby Black Mountain military forces. No one among the various forces in Shengjing has his power.
