At around 7:30 the next evening, four luxury business cars stopped in front of the Bana Royal Casino. Jiangzhou, Su Tianyu, Dabai, Hou Guoyu, Gu Baishun and others, dressed in well-fitting suits, walked out of the cars.
Everyone was walking on the soft red carpet. Su Tianyu turned his head and looked around. He saw a lot of burly security personnel around, mostly black men. There were also many luxury cars in front of the casino, and all kinds of well-dressed socialites and bosses were walking back and forth.
Tonight, Jiangzhou brought Su Tianyu and others to attend a charity gambling party. It is said that all the income of this royal casino tonight will be donated to the Panamanian government's children's charity foundation.
About 50% of Bana City's fiscal revenue comes from canal checkpoints and trade taxes, while the rest comes from the tourism industry, the spinach industry, the gambling industry, and various "nightclub" industries.
In other words, any gambling venue that is open and open in Bana City is legal. It is said that tonight's charity gambling game is also jointly organized by the municipal government and several casinos.
"Let's go!"
Jiangzhou called out to Su Tianyu and the others, then strode towards the main entrance of the casino.
Dabai turned his head and looked around, exclaiming in amazement: "This is really a paradise. Everything I like is not illegal here...!"
"It's an island city with a small population and can't expand outward. If we don't do these things, do we have to do heavy industry?" Gu Baishun replied softly: "Economic development is the most important thing."
"That's good." Dabai nodded slowly: "When I have money, I will buy a small island here and invest in the gambling industry. Maybe in two years, I can become the Chinese gambling king."
"What the hell are you betting on?" Su Tianyu curled his lips and said, "Who can do this kind of business here? Isn't he a royal relative? You can't do it just by having money...!"
"Alas, my dad has never done anything serious in his life." Dabai couldn't help but sneer: "He didn't save much family property, and his last name is not Bernardo. How much effort do you think I have to put in to become a superior person?"
"No, when you see someone from the Bernardo family again, you should kneel down and call him daddy. I will recognize you as your godfather!!"
"Haha! I think it'll work!" Big White grinned.
While chatting, everyone followed Jiangzhou into the casino.
As the bright light came on, everyone looked up and scanned the indoor environment, and they were deeply shocked.
The casino hall is about twelve meters high and covers an area of several thousand square meters. The chandeliers hanging from the dome look like the size of a small swimming pool when put together.
In the center of the hall, there is a towering independent statue, which gives people a strong sense of oppression. It is said that this is the totem of the Bana people, symbolizing freedom and love.
Bright, luxurious, and wealthy, this is the impression that Casino Royale leaves on everyone.
Inside the hall, a party with hundreds of people gathered had already begun, and many people were holding chips and playing casually at the charity gambling table.
“Want to do two? I feel like I’m very lucky today…!” Dabai said, rubbing his hands.
"Xu Chen, take Da Bai for a walk and use our invitation card to get some chips for him to play with." Jiang Zhou instructed the assistant, then turned to look at Su Tianyu and said, "Let's find a place to sit for a while."
"good."
After a brief conversation, Jiangzhou took Su Tianyu to the VIP booth nearby, while Dabai and Hou Guoyu followed their assistants and began to wander around the room.
In the VIP booth area, Su Tianyu bent over and sat on the comfortable sofa, interrupted Jiangzhou and asked: "What kind of conditions do we want to set? Do we have to pay a certain amount of funds to the other party first?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Jiangzhou replied softly: "The reason why Bana City was not affected by the war is related to their political strategy! If you want to go to the southern sea shipping, you can't bypass this place, so they adhere to the principles of fairness and openness... As long as you pay them the normal customs clearance fees, anyone's goods can pass through here. To put it bluntly, they have no political stance on the surface, a bit like the previous Ruishi Finance."
Su Tianyu sneered at the words: "But in the end, Ruishi Finance still chose a political stance. Once the relationship becomes tense, it is unrealistic to continue to remain neutral."
"We're talking about the present, not the future, so we do have a chance." Jiangzhou replied with a smile.
"Have you tried to find out the situation here before?" Su Tianyu asked.
"Yes, shipping goods plus investment." Jiangzhou replied slowly: "Including maritime trade, our cargo throughput is not small, and this is also a business with considerable expenses for them."
"Yeah." Su Tianyu nodded.
While several people were chatting, next to the spiral staircase on the third floor, a lame man was looking at Su Tianyu and others with his hands in his pockets.
"What's the name of the person next to Su Tianyu?" the lame man asked with a frown.
"We are still investigating. It is said that he is a school officer under the King of Pingxi." The attendant behind him whispered, "We will be able to find out his identity in an hour."
The lame man glanced at Jiangzhou, turned around and said, "Let's go and play a few rounds!"
After saying that, the group turned and left.
…
About half an hour passed.
Dabai, who was in great luck, placed three bets in a row, and lost all three bets. He returned to the VIP booth dejectedly, pouting and muttering, "Damn it, I really came here to do charity, not only did I lose all the donated chips, but I also lost more than 100,000 yuan myself."
"Isn't this good? You quit gambling right from the start!" Gu Baishun replied with a smile.
While the two were chatting, seven or eight people came down from upstairs. Leading them was a South American girl with an extremely charming figure and beautiful looks. She was wearing an evening gown and a jeweled crown on her head. She walked in with a dignified posture.
Jiangzhou looked up and saw this person. He immediately stood up and greeted him, "Here you are!"
"Hello, Jiang...!"
When the South American girl saw Jiangzhou, she opened her arms, hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
Beside him, Su Tianyu stared at the woman in front of him in a daze. His second brother, who had not reacted for a long time, actually moved.
Diagonally opposite, Dabai stared at the girl blankly and swallowed his saliva unconsciously!
Oh no, this is a heart-pounding feeling!
At the front of the crowd, Jiangzhou hugged the other person and said with a smile: "Long time no see!"
“The last time I saw you... you...!” the girl was a little speechless.
"Cousin, it's cousin!" Jiangzhou reminded.
"Oh, I met your cousin Qin Zimo, maybe five or six years ago...!" The girl smiled and replied, "Welcome to Bana City!"
"Thank you for your hospitality." Jiangzhou turned around and introduced: "Tianyu, this is Miss Bruna Bernardo...!"
