Chapter 230 Negotiating Conditions, Bodyguards
At that time, before Lu Yongqiang had a chance to speak, Fatty Li and Wuliang, in order to curry favor with Jiang Tiansheng, spoke out in agreement. When someone took the lead, naturally a large group of people followed suit, and Lu Yongqiang naturally would not object later.
Although the Macau Island branch has not been established yet, it is almost certain that it will be established sooner or later.
The Australian island is indeed a piece of fat meat, but with the rotation of dealers, it only comes once in more than ten years, so this piece of fat meat is a bit useless.
Speaking of which, the one who suffered the most was Lu Yongqiang. After all, next year the Tuen Mun branch would be responsible for the business in Macau Island.
A large hotel's gambling halls, plus the previous casinos and a bar, conservatively estimated, will generate profits of no less than 300 million next year.
The society has set a payment ratio of 30% to 70%. Of the 300 million, 70% will be handed over to the society, and I can still get 80 to 90 million. After deducting the operating costs for this year, I can get at least 40 to 50 million.
With just one word from Jiang Tiansheng, Lu Yongqiang will earn 400 to 500 million less next year. Who would be happy about this?
Lu Yongqiang was naturally unhappy. Fatty Li and Wuliang had taken the lead in agreeing to this at the beginning, and now Wuliang dared to bring it up. Naturally, Lu Yongqiang's tone was not good.
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Fatty Li and Wuliang both smiled awkwardly. What they did was indeed not fair. The year before last, it was Fatty Li who was in charge of the business on the Australian Island, and the year before that, it was Wuliang. In other words, it would take at least ten years for them to be in charge of the Australian Island.
So these two bastards didn't even think about it at first, and immediately agreed after Jiang Tiansheng finished speaking.
At this time, Ma Wangjian said, "Qiangzi, it's true that Fatty Li and Wuliang did something dishonest, but it's over, so let it go. Besides, Qiangzi, your family is wealthy and you don't really get involved in the casino business, so don't bother with Fatty Li and Wuliang."
"Qiangzi, Mr. Jiang is planning to cooperate with a film and television company in Taiwan to produce movies and TV series. You should have heard about this, right?
Qiangzi, you are young, educated, and smart. Is starting a film and television company really as promising as Mr. Jiang said?
After Ma Wangjian finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang finally understood why these old foxes were holding him back and wouldn't let him go. They wanted to get a piece of the pie from Jiang Tiansheng.
After Liang Kun was finished, his Qiankun Film and Television Company was taken over by Jiang Tiansheng.
Jiang Tiansheng's woman Fang Ting was originally from the entertainment industry and was considered a medium-sized star in Hong Kong. Although she had not filmed a movie for some years after following Jiang Tiansheng, she was still considered an insider and knew a lot about the entertainment industry.
After acquiring Qiankun Company, Jiang Tiansheng did not take it seriously at first. After all, this film and television company had never produced any regular movies or TV series, but only pornographic films.
Jiang Tiansheng was too proud to continue running the film and television company. He initially planned to sell the company to Fat Lao Li. After all, Fat Lao Li himself published pornographic magazines, and running another film and television company that produced pornographic films could complement each other's careers, which was not a bad thing.
But Fang Ting was unwilling to do so. She had been a canary for too long and was tired of being lonely. Recently, she had been thinking about returning to filming. However, she had been out of the spotlight for so many years and her fame was no longer as great as before. Now no one was willing to hire her even if she wanted to film a movie.
Now that we have Qiankun Film and Television Company, the situation is completely different. Although Qiankun Film and Television has never produced regular movies or TV series, it still has some foundation. For example, the equipment used for filming is very complete, and it also has various filming qualifications.
Fang Ting was thinking about using her own company to promote herself, so she whispered a lot to Jiang Tiansheng. In addition, the film and television industry in Hong Kong has been very hot in recent years, and many bigwigs in social groups have tried every means to get a piece of the pie. Now that there is a ready-made company, Jiang Tiansheng really changed his mind.
Although Jiang Tiansheng changed his mind and felt that the film and television industry was profitable, he really didn't understand this industry and naturally would not enter it blindly. He thought about cooperating with those mature film and television companies, so that he could learn from their experience and reduce investment costs.
It was in this situation that Shan Ji acted as a matchmaker for Jiang Tiansheng and introduced him to a partner on Taiwan Island.
According to Shan Ji, the film and television company on Taiwan Island is a subsidiary of the Sanlian Gang. He has a good relationship with the person in charge of the company, and the two parties can first cooperate to shoot a TV series.
Last week, Jiang Tiansheng took Chen Yao to Taiwan, apparently to finalize the cooperation.
After Ma Wangjian finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang pondered for a moment, then said, "Film and television company? This might be a good idea, but I advise you not to think about it.
Firstly, we don’t understand this industry at all. If we enter the market blindly, we may be cheated and lose all our money.
Secondly, any investment will never guarantee a profit, especially in the film and television industry. Hundreds of films are made every year, but I'm afraid less than 30% of them can actually make money.
If you want to sleep with a female star like Mr. Jiang did, you can find a film and television company and invest a million or eight hundred thousand just for fun. Whether you make money or not depends on your luck."
Lu Yongqiang was not lying. He had initially considered the film and television industry and wanted to make some money in it, but after a little understanding, Lu Yongqiang gave up. The entertainment industry was too complicated. If he jumped in blindly, he would probably lose everything.
After chatting with Fatty Li and a few others for a while, Lu Yongqiang found an excuse to leave. These people were all old foxes, and it was difficult to take advantage of them.
After leaving the booth where Fatty Li and his friends were sitting, Lu Yongqiang was about to talk to Xiyan. Unexpectedly, before he could find Xiyan, he was stopped by Chen Yao.
"Qiangzi, I was looking for you everywhere. Where did you go just now? Why didn't I see you?"
Lu Yongqiang pointed at the fat guy Li and his group in the corner and said, "I was chatting with them just now."
"Brother Yao, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Chen Yao pulled Lu Yongqiang and they found a quieter corner.
Chen Yao said, "Qiangzi, the leader of the Sanlian Gang, Lei Gong, will be coming to Hong Kong City in a couple of days. He will discuss something with Mr. Jiang then."
"Mr. Jiang wants you to go with him to see the God of Thunder."
After Chen Yao finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Brother Yao, tell me the truth, is this really just a simple meeting? Is there something else going on?"
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Chen Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Qiangzi, even if you don't ask, I still have to explain it to you."
"We received news that Lei Gong recently visited Mr. He on the Ao Island several times. You can probably guess the purpose: it's for the casino on the Ao Island.
Although the situation in Australia Island is not as chaotic as in our Hong Kong City, with dozens of large and small communities, there are nearly ten forces of varying sizes, including the local forces in Australia Island and our foreign forces. This is already very chaotic.
Mr. He felt that the island was already in chaos, so he refused Lei Gong and did not want the Triple Gang to come to the island to make a living.
"This time, Lei Gong came to Hong Kong City and asked Shan Ji to meet Mr. Jiang. I'm afraid he has ulterior motives. He is most likely planning to target the casinos in the new hotel."
"Thanks to Shan Ji's help, Mr. Jiang has just started collaborating with the Sanlian Gang in the film and television industry. The two sides are now in a cooperative relationship. Mr. Jiang would be in a bad mood if he didn't go to see Lei Gong, otherwise it would be impolite."
"Qiangzi, your martial arts skills are unrivaled in the entire city of Hong Kong, and you have many powerful generals under your command. So this time, I'd like to trouble you to be Mr. Jiang's bodyguard and go with him to meet the Thunder God."
After Chen Yao finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang was stunned for a moment, then said: "No!"
"Not going?" Chen Yao glared at Lu Yongqiang and said dissatisfiedly, "Qiangzi, you are the leader of Hongxing, why don't you go?"
Lu Yongqiang sneered, "Next year, my Tuen Mun branch was supposed to be in charge of the business on Ao Island. Mr. Jiang's words have caused me to lose tens of millions of dollars. Since they are setting up an Ao Island branch, then let the people from the Ao Island branch protect Mr. Jiang. Why should I go? If the casino on Ao Island is lost, it's none of my business!"
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Chen Yao said, "Qiangzi, Mr. Jiang only proposed last time whether to set up a branch church in Macau. This matter still needs to be discussed, and no final decision has been made.
Even if we want to set up a branch church in Macau, that will be a matter for the future. There is no branch church in Macau yet, so who will protect Mr. Jiang?"
Lu Yongqiang said, "If there is no branch in Macau, then let Mr. Jiang bring more bodyguards, or let the prince accompany Mr. Jiang. The prince is our Hongxing God of War, and I believe he can protect Mr. Jiang."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Chen Yao was silent for a long time, then he said, "Qiangzi, if you are willing to accompany Mr. Jiang to meet the Thunder God, then you will still be responsible for the business on the Ao Island next year. That should be no problem, right?"
Lu Yongqiang glanced at Chen Yao and said with a smile, "Brother Yao, you can't talk about this kind of thing casually. Why don't you ask Mr. Jiang for instructions first? If things go wrong in the end, I will ask you to compensate for the losses. Don't blame me for being disloyal when the time comes."
Chen Yao glared at Lu Yongqiang and said, "Since I dare to say this, there will definitely be no problems. Don't worry, I will tell you that you will be in charge of the business in Ao Island next year. It will definitely be you who will be in charge."
Seeing Chen Yao's firm words, Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "Since Brother Yao is so sure, I will accept this matter. I will definitely protect Mr. Jiang when the time comes."
Seeing that Lu Yongqiang agreed, Chen Yao stood up and left, looking a little angry.
Looking at Chen Yao's back, Lu Yongqiang curled his lips. He was now the boss, one of the decision-makers of Hongxing, and a key figure in the poker table. He actually wanted to get something for free. It was simply a daydream...
Just as Lu Yongqiang was complaining to himself, Dafei came over.
"Aqiang, what were you talking about with Brother Yao just now? Why does Brother Yao look a little unhappy?"
Lu Yongqiang snorted coldly and said, "He wants me to work for free. Since I didn't agree to it, he must be unhappy."
As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dafei gave him a thumbs up and said, "Brother Qiang, you are awesome. Brother Yao is the second marshal of our club, and you dare not give him face?"
Lu Yongqiang curled his lips and said, "Second Marshal is bullshit? He is just a dog beside Jiang Tiansheng."
Back in San Francisco, Lu Yongqiang thought that Chen Yao had second thoughts about Jiang Tiansheng, but now think about it, second thoughts are bullshit. Chen Yao was probably plotting against him. He was complacent at the time and thought he could win over Chen Yao. Now, he sees that he is like a fool being played by someone.
