Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 571: partnership

In addition, the Huo family is also involved in the gambling industry in Lisboa. Of course, there are other stories.

In 1958, the battle for the patent rights of the gambling industry in Lisboa resumed. Before that, the patent rights were firmly controlled by the veteran spinach Wang Fu family and the duck industry king, and no one dared to compete with them, and the one who challenged the Fu family was the Ye family, who was weak in wealth.

Ye's defeat, so he pulled He's and others together to fight Fu and Gao. He's first fortune was also in Lisboa, but he never touched spinach.

It is a miracle that he can become the spinach king who has dominated Haojiang for decades. All of this naturally had to start from Ye's coveted spinach business in Lisboa.

It is said that after the relationship between Mr. Ye and Mr. Fu, the old master, broke down, he wanted to take over the old Fu's nest and seize the patent of his spinach industry.

Ye Shi deliberately worked hard to get through all kinds of joints, and finally understood it clearly: the management right is for two years, and the bidding is 6 months before the expiration.

For each installment, Fu won an annual rate of A$1.2 million. This is a very strange number, which means that the investment is empty talk, and it is actually a monopoly of Fu!

Now Ye Shi has a purpose and vows to fight with the old Fu. Who knows, Fu Shi suddenly passed away. And Mr. Gao has passed away before Mr. Fu.

In this way, the gaming industry in Lisboa was taken over by the sons of Fu and Gao. Now there is no need to directly confront the "Benefactor" Fu Shi, Ye Shi is even more reckless, and wants to seize his patent, like a treasure in a bag.

Beginning in the spring of 1958, the bidding was in full swing. The Fu family's bid to the Australian government is 1.2 million Australian dollars per year. Mr. Ye had expected it first, and the bid was 1.8 million Australian dollars, which exceeded 600,000 Australian dollars. Steady victory.

The Lisboa House "leaked the wind", and the Fu family quietly added the standard gold to the same amount as the Ye family. The Ye family also had an informant, and with an additional 300,000 Australian dollars, it was one step ahead of the Fu family. The Ye family was too complacent, and the Fu family joined the Ye family. Ye Shi gritted his teeth with hatred, ready to add more chips.

At this time, the deadline for bidding is really inexplicable. A few days later, the bid was announced, and the Fu family won the bid. Ye Shi was stunned: Why didn't the two companies have the same bid price to decide the winner?

Ye went to the Australian government to "question the crime" and was ridiculed by officials. It turns out that the Australian government has regulations, and the bid is equal. The original licensee has priority.

Ye Shi returned with a slap in the face, brooding in his heart.

Two years later, Yip made a comeback from Hong Kong. Fu and Gao went to Australia ahead of him and were ready to fight.

Ye Shi changed his tactics, no longer playing the "golden battle", but exposing the Fu family's old background, discussing the right and wrong. In the report submitted to the Australian government, Mr. Yip said that Mr. Fu paid 1.8 million Australian dollars a year in the gambling business of Lisboa at the beginning, and it increased to 2.1 million Australian dollars a year later, but 24 years later, Instead of raising the spinach rate, it was reduced to 1.2 million.

On the other hand, in the past 24 years, the population of Lisboa has increased, the money has increased, the number of gambling customers has increased, the amount of gambling has increased, and the profit of the gambling market has increased. silver paper.

In this way, the Fu family received a lot of preferential treatment from the government, but showed little filial piety to the government.

The report was included in the tender and submitted to the Australian Government, but it was like dead leaves falling into the water, silently. The management rights are still owned by the Fu Gao family, and Ye Shi was so angry that he smoked.

Soon, the new Portuguese Governor, Sir Majishi arrived. Since the gaming industry is the lifeblood of Lisboa's economy, as soon as he took office, he read the information on the gaming industry and was seeing Ye's report and tender.

Ma Jishi deeply hated the corruption of some officials in Lisboa, and was determined to reform the past, reform the gaming industry, and increase government revenue.

On July 6, 1961, the Australian government promulgated new regulations for gambling in the entertainment and gaming industry. The new regulations abolish the priority of the original licensee and set the base price of the bid at three million Australian dollars. Public bidding will be held, and the bidder will be the highest bidder. At the same time, the new licensee must build new casinos and casinos within three years. First class new hotel.

Ye Shi was defeated twice, and his heart was ashes. The current Portuguese Governor's New Deal for the Spinach Industry has injected a booster for Ye, who is eager to try again. And because of his weak financial position, he wanted to support the boss.

Most of Ye's friends are floating head fish from the spinach farm. He screened the familiar people in his mind, "Yes, it's him!"

Ye immediately went to see Ye Deli. Ye Deli is from Indonesia. He is a racing master, language genius, and investment expert. He is quite influential in Hong Kong and Macau.

After hearing Mr. Ye's statement, Ye Li shook his head like a rattle, "For many years, Mr. Fu has dominated the gambling industry in Lisboa, and even the underworld people have been beaten (leveled), and we can't fight him."

Ye Deli was finally moved, and he was afraid that the two would be weak. When he had an idea, he thought of his uncle He Shi. He has been in Australia for many years, and he has known many people from top to bottom. He is now rich and his wife is Portuguese, so it would be perfect for him to be his partner and licensee.

Ye Deli immediately went to lobby He Shi. Although He's retreated to Hong Kong, he paid close attention to Lisboa's affairs. He has never touched spinach, but he is well versed in the profitability of the gambling industry, and even more aware of the Lisboa government's new policy on the gambling industry.

No need for Ye Deli to spend a lot of time, the He Shi readily agreed to join. With his net worth of 10 million, the bidding is more than enough, but the construction of a casino and a big hotel is not enough.

The He family wanted to find a friend with more money to back them up—this was the Huo family, the fierce man of Xiangjiang Real Estate.

So the Ye family, Ye Derry, the He family, and the Huo family formed an alliance in advance to form a company and apply for a license to the Australian government in the name of the company.

When drafting the bid, He proposed to add content that would attract the Australian government: "It should be specifically stated that once we win the bid, in addition to paying the gaming patent tax, 10% of the income from the gaming industry will be donated to charity, and the remaining 90% will be used in the Lisboa's reinvestment, including building a wharf, dredging the riverbed, and building a hotel."

After the tender document is drawn up, a lawyer shall be entrusted to handle the tender procedure. According to government regulations, lawyers who practice in Lisboa must be hired. Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu took the lead and invested almost all the lawyers in Lisboa.

After breaking through the iron shoes, he found a Portuguese lawyer Lu Bardo in Lisboa. Lubadu is not well-known in the industry, but He and others have no choice.

Sadly, just before the deadline for bidding, Lubado suddenly disappeared. The four were so anxious that their eyebrows were burning, and Ye Li led a few racers to look around. As a result, Ye Deli was "caught" and then "escorted" back to the office building temporarily rented by the four.

Luba Du was crying and begging: "I don't want to do this business anymore. I'm afraid that if I help you, someone will seek revenge in the future, so let me go!"

With his eloquent eloquence, Yedri persuaded Lubadu. So everyone rushed to his law firm and worked all night to draw up documents.

In the afternoon of the same day, Fu and Gao came to the Australian Government to submit their bids. After a long time, He Shi, the representative of the new company, arrived in a hurry. Good risk, the high bid deadline is still five minutes away!

As a result of the opening of the bid, the Fu family bid 3.15 million Australian dollars, and the new company bid 3.167 million Australian dollars, which was only 17,000 more than the other party.

After winning, the price is just right, otherwise the advantage is too large, which means that the price to be paid in the future will also be large.

The four winning bidders were both surprised and delighted: What a **** to help me!

The Fu family was defeated and retreated to the Hong Kong Investment Real Estate Hotel. Fu Houze, the current executive director of Furama Hotel, said in response to a reporter's question: "Fu does not want future generations to inherit his mantle. He believes that the spinach industry is a partial family. Our family did not have a license, so we gave up."

The Fu family really had such a mentality at the time. However, they believe that it is still unknown whether He Shi and others can establish a foothold in Lisboa.

The Lisboa society is quite powerful. Mr. Fu was considered a hero of a generation, and he was also "biased" (kidnapped) by them, trying to extort 9 million before releasing him.

Fu sees death as home, leaving the other party helpless. In the next few years, his son Fu Yinquan was again "standardized". Because it was his own heart, Mr. Fu spent a lot of money, and then he found He Sheng, a prominent figure in Lisboa, to get his son home intact.

Now it was the turn of He Shi and others, of course the Fu family watched the opening of the show.

Sure enough, people from the underworld proposed "eight major rules" to He's family, and others told He's family: first, to kill He's life; second, to stop Hong Kong and Macau flights, and to find a cargo ship for spinach tourists to come to Macau; third, Order Lisboa Hotel not to accept Hong Kong tourists; fourth, send beggars to sit at the entrance of the new gambling market, so that gambling customers are discouraged; fifth, order Lisboa private buildings, not to rent office buildings to the new group; sixth, prohibit the original gambling market The buddies and dealers worked in the new gambling field; seventh, they threw grenades at the gambling field; eighth, they obstructed the performance of the contract between the new group and Lisboa.

The drunkard's intention is not to drink, they just want to sit back and enjoy the benefits. If there is no compliance, the ruthless gangsters, maybe they will do it.

As long as one or two of the eight major rules are "fulfilled", without human life, it will become untenable and go bankrupt.

He's not a vegetarian. During the Japanese occupation, he had been through a hail of bullets in sea trading, and his life was almost dead. He thought: If you want my life, well, I will treat others with the way of others.

He's bid one million, and let out the wind: "If I am beaten to death, whoever kills the culprit within 48 hours, the one million will belong to him, I have made a will, and the money will be paid by my lawyer. Give!"

At that time, there were many underworld sects in Lisboa, and the asking price of the killer was usually tens of thousands. The astonishingly high price of one million, will no one be willing to do it? The He Shi calmly walked around Lisboa, preparing to take over the spinach field.

Since he is not afraid of death, how can the other seven of the eight rules be of help to the He family?

He won the bid in the month, and because another force was interfering with it, it was not until March 30 of the following year that he officially signed a new contract with the Australian government to undertake the gaming industry. The main terms of the contract are: to set up a new company after 60 days, with a capital of at least 3 million Australian dollars; at the end of 1964, other gambling establishments in the urban area will be removed, and the gambling establishments will be concentrated; Wharf project, as soon as possible to purchase hydrofoils into Hong Kong and Macau passenger transport; 10% of the company's net profit is used for charity, 90% is invested in Lisboa's industry and commerce, and the economy of Lisboa is prosperous.

This contract embodies He's strategy of disregarding immediate interests, looking far ahead, and focusing on the future.

Take wealth in Lisboa and invest in Lisboa, the property rights are still yours. This is beneficial to the Lisboa government, people, company and shareholders. This is the fundamental reason why He's been able to dominate the Lisboa gaming industry for decades without defeat.

Two months after the signing, the four-member Lisboa Tourism and Entertainment Co., Ltd. was formally established. Mr. Huo is the chairman of the board, Mr. Ye and Mr. Ye Deli are the executive directors, and Mr. He, as the shareholder representative and the licensee, is the managing director, in charge of corporate affairs, and is the real head of the gaming industry in Lisboa.

Ye Deli is a relative of He's family, and he can rest assured that He's family is in charge of the gaming industry. In addition, he is a complete layman in the gaming industry and rarely gets involved in company affairs.

He owns 10% of the company's equity, and he is very satisfied with dividends every year.

Hong Kong writer Leng Xia wrote in his "A Generation of Spinach King - The Biography of He Shi": "Ye Deli had two major hobbies in his life, sports cars and women. He said: 'Without women, my life would be meaningless, and my internal flow would be empty. Not blood, but a burning current.'

"He once created a team of his own, and Ye Deli has contributed greatly to Lisboa Motorsport's achievements today.

"Yedri once became the protagonist of the world's lace news with one of his 'innovations'. In 1982, on his 70th birthday, he specially made nearly one of his girlfriends, lovers, and their husbands and children whom he met all over the world. Hundreds of people, please go to the Mexican resort of Ajie Pego, and celebrate his birthday with him.

All of them fly first-class to and from, and spend four days in five-star hotels—all at his expense. In addition, Ye Deli also presented precious gifts such as gold watches, diamonds and jewelry to each girlfriend. "

It is true that most of Ye Deli's money for racing and women comes from Lisboa. In addition to the 10% stake in the Lisboa gaming industry, he is also the main shareholder of Xinde Shipping (mainly engaged in Hong Kong and Macau scheduled hydrofoil flights).

Ye Deli's language genius is also unique in Hong Kong and Macau. He was originally from Mei County, Guangdong Province, and his parents immigrated to Indonesia. In the 1940s, Ye Deli returned to Hong Kong to explore the world on his own. In his early twenties, he went to see a foreign firm for a job, which made the boss stunned.

Ye Deli recalled: "The boss I met was Hinis, an Englishman, and he asked me what my talents were? How much salary?

I can speak English, French, German, Dutch, Malay, and Mandarin, Hokkien, Hakka, Chaozhou, Guangzhou, and Shanghai dialects. As for the salary, it is best to be as much as him. After seeing the job, I was full of confidence, and as a result, the next day, I actually received a notification that I could go to work at any time. "

Ye Shila Yedri was not mistaken in joining the team. Ye Li quickly became proficient in Portuguese in a short period of time. His linguistic genius and communicative skills came in handy when it came to bidding and starting a company. The company entered normal business, and he retreated bravely, re-enacting his specialty, driving a racing car to chase women.

Huo's main focus is on his real estate business. After the company is on the right track, he is less concerned with company affairs. Only He and Ye are left in the company. He Shi is the head of the company, and Ye Shi is an expert in the spinach industry. Commonly known as one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, since the establishment of the company, the two have been competing for decades.

Among the four, Ye Deli and the He family are relatives, the Huo family and the He family are "best friends", but the Ye family is a "single gang". But he is the only connoisseur, and if he is a little shrewd, the other three will respect him even more.

Perhaps because of this, he made great contributions to the Fu family, but in the end he failed to get Boss Fu's favor.
