Chapter 18 Chapter Seventeen

Fu Laorong would never allow his career to fall into the hands of others, so he was very worried about Ye Han, and when he found out that Ye Han was staying at the International Hotel, he ordered Gao Kening's confidant, Xie Dian, to monitor Ye Han. Report in time and take corresponding countermeasures when necessary. Xie Dian is an expert in Macao and is good at stalking and inquiring.After some disguise, he booked a suite next to Ye Han's room in the International Hotel under a pseudonym. In the beginning, he could only watch Ye Han come in and out from the window, without much gain.He thought that if he could install an "ear" in Ye Han's house, it would have an unexpected effect.

Although Xie Dian can't become big, he has a well-developed "cerebellum". Inspired by seeing a doctor, he got a "stethoscope" and extended the tube. The other end of the phone was connected to Ye Han's room. This method really worked. As long as Ye Han talked with Yan Zhili, Zhou Ping, paparazzi and others in the room, he could hear every word. In this way, Ye Han's actions were completely controlled by Fu Laorong. When Ye Han publicly asked the Australian government for investment materials, Fu Laorong was a little anxious, thinking that as long as he got the materials, even if he did not beat him, at least the gambling tax would return to the previous 2.1 million yuan.

Fu Laorong informed Bai Lijue of this matter, Bai Lijue was terrified when he heard the news, and hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Fu Laorong. It turned out that Bai Lijue and Fu Laorong signed an agreement in private. On the basis of 2.1 million yuan in casino profits and taxes, the government will deduct 10,000 yuan for every 10,000 yuan deducted.Over the years, Bai Lijue has been dragged into the water by Fu Laorong step by step in this kind of temptation, getting deeper and deeper. Bai Lijue knew that once the matter was revealed, he would be ruined. Just when the two were undecided, Xie Dian inquired about a crucial piece of information—Ye Han would sneak into the reference room and secretly take photos of all the copies, then publish them on the "Macau Daily", and then go directly to Portugal...

Bai Lijue and Fu Laorong turned pale with shock, as if the end was coming. With this surprise, Fu Laorong's aging body couldn't bear it anymore, and he coughed and panted non-stop on the bed. Because it is a chronic disease, medicine is ineffective, and the only way is to choose an authentic virgin yellow flower from a brothel to accompany him. Fu Laorong temporarily relieves this pain in a kind of passion and excitement... He told Bai Lijue that the only way now is to Send someone to arrest Ye Han on the spot and convict him of stealing government secrets. Bai Lijue followed his plan and sent his secretary Gao Si to follow Ye Han when he sneaked into the reference room. Because Ye Han was so overwhelmed that no one behind him noticed, every volume was taken away until finally all the evidence fell into Gao Si's hands.

In addition, Ye Han was caught by Gao Si, thinking that he would be sent to the police station, but he didn't want to be taken to the office of the Governor of Australia.Bai Lijue was already waiting there, and politely got up to greet him. Bai Lijue heard from Fu Laorong that Ye Han eats soft but not hard.After sitting down, he walked away from Gauss, put the pipe lightly on the marble coffee table, and asked in not-so-fluent Cantonese: "Mr. Ye must bid for the gambling cards this time?" Ye Han nodded. Bai Lijue pondered for a long time, raised his face and asked in a discussing tone: "Can I cooperate with Mr. Fu and Mr. Gao?"

Ye Han looked at Bai Lijue and said nothing. "They will listen to the advice. I can reduce the profit and tax on the basis of 1.2 million yuan." "Then Governor Bai reported to the Portuguese government that there was no bid for Macau in 1958, and the original licensee requested a reduction in profits and taxes. Is that true?" Ye Han sneered. "Mr. Ye is really smart!" Bai Lijue stretched out his thumb and boasted, "No wonder Mr. Fu is so afraid of you. How about it, can I consider my conditions?" Ye Han gritted his teeth and said, "No, I'm enough alone. I don't need a partner, let alone a tax cut from the government. On the contrary, in order to increase government revenue, I will automatically increase the tax to more than 2.1 million yuan!"

Seeing that Ye Han had no room for flexibility, Bai Li said with a low face, "Mr. Ye, don't forget that it is against the law to secretly record government secrets with a camera!" Ye Han raised his head and said: "You don't need to be reminded by Governor Bai. Ye himself has checked the relevant laws. Stealing secrets will be sentenced to 1 to 5 years in prison depending on the severity of the circumstances." "Aren't you afraid of going to jail?" "I've already made preparations for this. After five years, Ye can still come out to bid for gambling cards." Speaking of this, Ye Han stared at Bai Lijue and said coldly: "At that time, Governor Bai will not be the Governor. Yes, hey!"

"What's the meaning?" "It's not interesting." Ye Han said, crossing his chest and looking at the ceiling, "Reporters from all newspapers are paying attention to my actions. I am a celebrity in the gambling industry and have been a hot topic in Macau news several times. If I go to jail, the reason is of course Announcement, when the time comes, the behind-the-scenes transaction between you and Fu Laorong—” "You have no evidence!" Bai Li felt almost hysterical, "I will destroy the negatives you took! I will also destroy the original copies!"

"But you can't destroy the declaration materials you have submitted to the Portuguese government—these are also fatal evidence! As long as the inside story of my imprisonment is published by the newspapers, the secrets that you and Fu Laorong have been hiding for many years will also be exposed. At that time, Fu Laorong's old enemies Lu Jiu, Fan Jiepeng, Ye Han and others testified—Governor Bai, what do you think will happen?" Bai Li felt beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, took out his handkerchief, and wiped it tremblingly.In the office, only the pendulum clock on the wall hit the crisp and pleasant metal sound...

The two sides were silent for a long time, and Bai Lijue finally said, "Since you don't want to cooperate with Fu Laorong, can you let him go and let him host the card game for another two years?" "Why should I let him go?" "Although Mr. Fu's appearance has been good all these years, it's just an appearance. He is really bad-his body may not last for two years... During his lifetime, his biggest wish is not to see the foundation he built for many years being destroyed. Humans. For the sake of a dying old man, can you..." Ye Han had also heard about Fu Laorong's physical condition, but he never realized that it would be bad.In a short period of time, he did have sympathy and compassion, but when he thought of the lifelong grievances and entanglements with Fu Laorong, he shook his head and said, "No, I went back to Macau to bid for gambling just to compete with Lao Fu. During his lifetime, I must Drive him off the throne of gambling king, otherwise, what's the point of my fighting with him? Governor Bai, please rest assured that Ye is not that unscrupulous gambler. Life is like gambling. The essence of gambling lies in 'fair competition'. The significance of this is to achieve balance. As long as Governor Bai upholds justice, does not favor anyone, and can compete with Fu Laorong on an equal footing, I will not feel unbalanced. Governor Bai, tell me, is my request too much?"

"Not too much." Bai Lijue said, "But about the stabbing in the press..." Ye Han laughed loudly and said: "When Ye Mou feels balanced in his heart, such problems will no longer exist." Bai Lijue also laughed out loud. When Ye Han went to the reference room to secretly take a copy, Fu Laorong was waiting for news from Bai Lijue on the sickbed. Fu Laorong's illness was caused by excessive deficiency of essence, especially when he was old, he had to be restrained, but he couldn't do it. The more he got to this time, the more he felt that he had to hurry up and enjoy. After the passion and excitement, he is now very weak. I hope that Bai Lijue will bring him good news, and then lift his spirits. The cloudy weather will turn sunny... Fu Laorong was in his seaside villa and waited until evening before Bai Lijue's limousine appeared outside the gate of his villa. At this time, the sun had already set, leaving only a ray of afterglow hanging on the window sill at the west end of Fu Laorong. When Bai Lijue entered the room, Fu Laorong tried his best to support himself and asked, "Governor, is Ye Han in jail?" "No." Bai Lijue shook his head, and sat down next to Fu Laorong. "Why? Did he escape?" "No. Mr. Fu, the future bidding may be made public. Ye Han is very powerful, and he is more difficult to deal with than we imagined." Bai Lijue roughly explained the process of talking with Ye Han. Fu Laorong listened, his breath was stuck in his throat, his eyes rolled white, and his mouth was foaming... His hands were in a mess, and it was useless to beat his back and pinch the acupuncture points. save me... Fu Laorong woke up, was fed ginseng soup, slowly regained his vitality, looked at Qiu Laoliu and said, "I have been blind in many things in my life, especially the wrong people...Only you, I have finally lived up to you." I……" Qiu Laoliu was flattered and moved to tears. Fu Laorong turned to Bai Lijue again: "Thank you for taking care of me these years, so that I can sit firmly on the throne of Macau's gambling king in my lifetime and never waver..." Bai Lijue shook his head: "Stop talking, you and I owe each other nothing, the word 'thank you', I deserve it..." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head. Fu Laorong also felt worthy of Bai Lijue, so he thought back to Ye Han: "Ye Han, no matter how sorry I am to you, I will bring you out! If you have no personal ambition, how could I drive you out of Macau. Now I am dying , you still can't forget revenge, you..." "Mr. Fu, don't get excited." Bai Lijue persuaded, "Although Ye Han threatened to drive you out in your lifetime, it doesn't mean that he can succeed. The power difference between the two of you is more than a hundred times, why can't he compete with you." Fu Laorong shook his head and said: "He is my horse boy, I can't swallow this tone! If he pokes me like this, my gambling tax will increase several times for no reason in the future. This tone... ah-ah-" Fu Laorong rolled his eyes again and foamed at the mouth.His subordinates were in a mess again, shaking in front of his eyes... During the shaking, a familiar figure appeared, Fu Laorong turned over and got up, and shouted: "Boss Huo, why did you come here?" The familiar figure ignored, Fu Laorong He thought he had misunderstood the person, so he insisted on finding out what happened, walked out of the house, chased the buildings, and crossed a bridge, the person in front turned around—it was Huo Zhiting!Fu Laorong was puzzled and asked: "Boss Huo, haven't you been dead for many years? You are..." Huo Zhiting nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to pick you up - look back and see what it is?" Fu Laorong turned his head, and there were three large characters on a sign: "Naihe Bridge"... Fu Laorong was taken aback, and asked loudly: "Huo Zhiting, why did you ignore me when I called you in the room? Ignore me?" "That's the Yang Realm. I can't promise you, but I can only show you a back view to lead you across this 'Naihe Bridge'...Old Fu, life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky, there is nothing that cannot be left behind. I have kept this thing a secret, and now I can tell you - when I was dreaming at the Central Hotel, you were also one of the kings of gambling in Macau, your world is over, and the next one is Big Ear Yehan..." "I don't want to abdicate!" Fu Laorong yelled loudly... the bull head and the horse face blocked his mouth, and twisted him to the underworld... "Boss Fu, Boss Fu, wake up!" "Boss Fu, Boss Fu..." This time, Fu Laorong never woke up again, the sunset glow at the west window had long since disappeared, replaced by a window full of stars, and the lights of thousands of families under the stars... The Taixing company was busy for a while, and everyone in the company wore black gauze. The Central Hotel, Fuyuan New Street, the three major casinos on the Fifth Street in early October, Macau Tak Kee Shipping Trading Company, Diners Shipping, and Macau Pier 16 were all closed for funerals. Fu Laorong's mourning hall is located in the lobby of the Central Hotel. A generation of gambling kings is enshrined in a high-quality mahogany coffin, and wreaths from all walks of life are placed on both sides.In order to show mourning, the mourning hall is arranged as darkly as possible, without electric lights, so that the incense and candlelight can set off a gloomy and mysterious atmosphere. Taixing Company sent invitations to Ye Han in the name of the company and Fu Jiye respectively. Hearing this news, Ye Han was stunned, he could hardly believe that fate would play tricks on him so ruthlessly... For more than 20 years, Ye Han wandered around and endured all kinds of hardships, in order to compete with Fu Laorong one day, At this last moment, the opponent actually walked away, as if he didn't bother to fight with him... Ye Han was deeply saddened, and with mixed feelings, he attended Fu Laorong's funeral. After the sound of mourning and music, the mourning hall returned to a mysterious silence. Ye Han knelt in front of the coffin of the deceased and kowtowed. At that time, Fu Laorong dismissed it and went home by crane. Ye Han put three sticks of incense in front of the coffin, lit a vegetable oil lamp, and knelt down to watch the smoke from the lamp. Who can enter this empty gambling king's palace? Death is like a lamp being extinguished. After Fu Laorong's death, Gao Kening became the natural successor of Taixing Company. For many years, Gao Kening has not directly intervened in the internal affairs of the casino, and only participated in the dividends at the end of the year. This is not because Gao Kening is incompetent, it is just his brilliance.He understands Fu Laorong's competitive character. If he also squeezes into the front of the stage, two tigers cannot be accommodated in one mountain, and conflicts and frictions will continue to occur. As a result, the interests of the company will be damaged, which will give people opportunities.It's better to let him take care of it with one hand, so that he can relax and cultivate his mind and nature.Over the years, Fu Laorong's health has been deteriorating, but Gao Kening is full of energy, with a rosy complexion, as if rejuvenated. When Fu Laorong was alive, he asked Gao Kening many times to keep half of the shares for Fu Jiye after a hundred years.Gao Kening naturally understood what he meant, and told him that he had not made any contribution to the company for more than 20 years, and was enjoying the benefits. If the boss went west, it was reasonable for him to help Fu Jiye and prevent the gambling cards from falling into the hands of others.At that time, Ye Han was still in Vietnam, and Fu Laorong had a premonition that one day he would come back, so he specially reminded Gao Kening to beware of Ye Han. Fu Laorong's funeral was held in a very grand manner. The funeral procession was one kilometer long, and the citizens were all empty. Every newspaper in Macau reported the grand occasion of the funeral on the front page. After the funeral, Gao Kening called Fu Jiye, Qiu Laoliu, Xie Dian and other key leaders for a meeting, and specially invited Bai Lijue to participate. Gao Kening said at the meeting: "Boss Fu has repeatedly reminded Ye Han that he is our number one opponent when he was alive, and now he has indeed appeared, and his attack is quite fierce. From now on, the company's top priority is to mobilize all forces to deal with Ye Han. " Gao Kening said this, and turned to look at Bai Lijue: "Although Governor Bai is not a member of our company, he has always been our backer. Without you, the company would not be what it is today. Now, Ye Han is biting us like a mad dog, and he still hopes The Governor can protect us as always." Bai Lijue sighed: "Mr. Gao, you don't have to be too polite. Our interests are interlinked. I will try my best to fight for whatever step I can. However, Ye Han has already grasped our weakness. It can no longer be the same as before…” Gao Kening nodded: "As long as the right to hold the gambling license can be kept, the company will do whatever it takes. Governor, please rest assured that no matter how much Ye Han raises the gambling tax, the remuneration will still be a lot. The key issue now is Ye Han We already know our details, and the public bidding is a foregone conclusion. I don’t know how much he will add to the gambling tax. If you can’t grasp this point, you will inevitably suffer losses.” Bai Li thought for a while and said: "I can formulate new regulations, requiring both parties to quote the reserve price before bidding. In this way, Ye Han is in my hands. I will inform you of his reserve price, and you can buy it in his bid." Adding a little bit on top of the basics will ensure your success, and at the same time, you can avoid adding too much, which will cause your company to suffer unnecessary losses.” Gao Kening said: "It is undoubtedly a great thing for us if you do this. But I would like to ask for advice: Is the reserve price quoted by both parties known only to the governor and his confidential secretary?" "No." Bai Lijue shook his head, "According to the country's system, such secrets will be handed over to the Department of Finance for safekeeping after I have reviewed them—that is to say, Mr. Bodo will be in charge." Gao Kening was taken aback and said: "The relationship between Boduo and the paparazzi is extraordinary. The paparazzi is Ye Han's diehard. The last time Ye Han went to the reference room to secretly take a copy, it was the convenience provided by Boduo!" "I asked Boduo, and he said he didn't know Ye Han, and Ye Han got in by taking advantage of troubled waters." Bai Lijue said, "And Ye Han also admitted that he didn't know Boduo." Gao Kening said anxiously: "Of course they will deny it with a unified voice. Governor, you must find a way to prevent Bo Duo from revealing the news to Ye Han, otherwise, even if we don't lose, we will suffer even greater losses." Bai Lijue frowned and said, "I can tell you the news. Of course Boduo will also tell Ye Han the news. How can I stop him?" There was only half a month left in the bidding time, and Gao Kening was so anxious that he stood up and walked back and forth in the conference room like ants on a hot pot.Suddenly stopped in front of Bai Lijue, and begged for mercy: "Governor, you have to help this time no matter what. Boss Fu's body is still alive. If Ye Han snatches the gambling cards, I will not only feel sorry for the deceased, but also have no face in the world!" Besides, not many days after Ye Han sent Fu Laorong to the funeral, he studied the details of bidding for gambling cards with the paparazzi at the Central Hotel. Ye Han said: "Although Fu Laorong is dead, and Fu Jiye has no interest in the gambling industry, it does not mean that everything is fine and can be sure to win. Gao Kening is not an idle character. Compared with Fu Laorong, he is even worse. Fu Laorong Showing his sharpness, Gao Kening is good at trickery and scheming." The paparazzi said: "I'm a straight-forward rough man, and I'm not good at this kind of things where you plot against me and I plot against you. But I'm committed to you, Brother Han, just order me to do what you want!" "Of course you don't have to worry about what you plan to do." Ye Han said, "This time I am competing with Gao Kening, the most important thing is intelligence work. Mr.'s relationship controls Gao Kening's dynamics." "Gao Kening is at the Central Hotel, and Mr. Boduo is at the Finance Department," the paparazzi scratched his scalp and said, "It's hard to understand Gao Kening." "The Australian government stipulates that when bidding for gambling cards, first the bidders will voluntarily quote the reserve price, and after the publicity, the method of survival of the few and the elimination of the few will be adopted. Mr. Boduo is the Minister of Finance and is in charge of this aspect. How much reserve price Gao Kening quotes depends on him. Must know." The paparazzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I can go to Bodo's every day." Due to time constraints, Ye Han was worried that Bai Li would feel repeated, so he first revealed to Zhou Ping the news that Governor Bai would adopt an open bidding for gambling cards.The article first puts a high hat on Bai Lijue, saying that he also believes that the practice of holding a license by a single company for many years is inappropriate and hinders the development of Macau's gambling industry. Once Zhou Ping's article was published, people from all walks of life responded very strongly, and they all agreed that if Bai Lijue kept his promise, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for Macau. Ye Han took advantage of the situation to publish an article, claiming to wait and see, hoping that the governor would live up to the hearts of the people and use his extra income to invest in public welfare undertakings in Macau. Bai Lijue was forced into the game and had no choice but to publish articles in various Chinese and English newspapers in Macau 5 days before the bidding date, publicly promising. Bai Lijue's article was drafted by Secretary Gao Si, and then published after being reviewed by himself.The article stated that the Macau government has always been very poor. It wanted to strengthen industrial investment, renovate houses, improve traffic conditions, etc., but could not afford the money. In order to increase government revenue, it decided to bid for the franchise of the gambling industry.In this bidding, in line with the principle of survival of the many and the elimination of the few, the bidders voluntarily quoted the reserve price, drafted it into a document with legal effect, and handed it over to the relevant government departments for secret storage, and made it public on the date of the official bidding.Government agencies will be based on the principle of impartiality and will not favor anyone. Most of Bai Lijue's articles repeated what was mentioned in the newspaper, and Ye Han could tell at a glance that he was trying to deal with it. When the bidding time for the Macau gambling license was approaching, Ye Han invited a lawyer to write a bidding report according to the relevant terms. The bid was 1.8 million yuan, which was an increase of 600,000 yuan on the basis of Taixing Company's 1.2 million yuan.Ye Han is confident that Gao Kening will not bid this reserve price, so he can be sure of winning. Soon after the report was submitted, the paparazzi called from the Bodeau Minister's mansion, saying that Gao Kening's bid was 1.81 million yuan. Ye Han was shocked, so he hired a lawyer to change the base price of 1.8 million yuan to 1.9 million yuan in the rented suite of the International Hotel.Unexpectedly, just after returning from the Governor's Mansion, the paparazzi called again in a hurry, reporting that Gao Kening had also raised the reserve price to 1.91 million yuan... Ye Han was dumbfounded, and told his lawyer that Bai Lijue must have tipped off Gao Kening, and he decided to disclose the matter to the press to expose Bai Lijue's so-called "not favoring anyone" lie. Ye Han's attorney Deng Chenggao Ask him: "Do you have proof?" Ye Han roared: "I quoted 1.8 million, and he immediately quoted 1.81 million; now I quoted 1.9 million, and he immediately added it to 1.91 million. If Bai Lijue hadn't revealed it to him, how could it be so accurate? Isn't this evidence? " Deng Chenggao asked back: "Then let me ask you, it hasn't been announced yet, why does Mr. Ye know the reserve price quoted by Taixing Company?" Ye Han was dumbfounded. Deng Chenggao said with a smile: "The law is all about logical reasoning. If you expose others, you will not blame yourself." Ye Han gritted his teeth and said, "If I fail this time, I have to pull Bai Lijue down!" "It's useless for you to pull Bai Lijue off the horse. Hei Lijue will come after he's gone." Deng Chenggao said, "I always feel that things are a bit strange. Logically, Bai Lijue, as the governor, knows that you have a relationship with Mr. Boduo." , it is impossible for him to blatantly disclose the information to Gao Kening in a short period of time—not to mention that you still have his fatal evidence, Mr. Ye, what do you think?" Ye Han suddenly came to his senses, and said in surprise: "Could it be that there are spies inside me? That's right, when I went to the governor's reference room to secretly take pictures, Bai Li felt that it was impossible for him to know my plan and time of action. Why did Gauss catch me at that time? But , No one in me will betray me!" Ye Han was wondering, when he suddenly felt someone walking back and forth outside, opened the door, and blurted out, "Old—" The other party quickly gestured to Zhou not to scream, Ye Han swallowed the following words, and invited him into the room. The person who came was Qiu Lao Liu.After he came in, he didn't speak, and handed Ye Han a note: Someone is bugging this room, please talk outside. Ye Han was shocked, pulled the sixth child and went outside, and opened a small box in the restaurant on the fourth floor. "Mr. Ye, why are you so careless that someone installed a 'bug' in your room?" "What's a 'bug'?" Qiu Laoliu gestured: "It's the kind of doctor who listens to internal organs when he sees a doctor. Gao Kening's confidant Xie Dian booked a room next to yours, and uses this thing to directly connect to your room." Ye Han suddenly realized, he was also stupefied, and sighed: "So it's like this..." "Mr. Ye," Qiu Lao Liu swallowed his saliva and said, "You asked me about the situation before, but Lao Liu really didn't know about it. Now that Fu Laorong is dead, Gao Kening is better and allows me to participate in his affairs. However, Taixing Company There is no future, and the Macau gambling scene will definitely be your world in the future. The ancients said that a good bird chooses a tree to live in. Fortunately, you have always been my superior in the past, and I will follow you in the future!" "Don't worry, Ye will not break his promise. As long as you follow me, he will never treat you badly in the future. By the way, how did you know about Xie Dian?" "Actually, even Gao Kening didn't know about it. Fu Laorong did it alone. After Fu Laorong's funeral, Xie Dian reported the matter to Gao Kening. I just happened to hear it outside the door." "Then why are you telling me now?" "Where do I have a chance? Xie Dian eavesdropped in the room all day long. I came to your door several times, and I was afraid that he would find out. Until today, seeing that the bidding was at the last minute, I took the risk to meet you. Fortunately, I was not caught. He found out. Mr. Ye, you must not see through him, or it will arouse suspicion and be detrimental to us." "I will have a way to deal with him. Sixth, I will reward you for your great service this time. Go back and report to me in time if you have any information." After sending Qiu Lao Liu away, Ye Han returned to the room, gestured to Deng Chenggao to keep silent, then searched carefully on the ceiling, and found the "stethoscope" hidden in the dark, and then wrote the words "just plan" for Deng Chenggao to read. Deng Chenggao understood, coughed dryly and asked, "Mr. Ye, who was looking for you just now?" Ye Han said loudly: "My friend paparazzi." "What is he looking for you for?" "He told me that Bai Lijue had disclosed our two quotations to Gao Kening. The paparazzi was going to tell me in the room that it would be inconvenient to see you here." Deng Chenggao pretended to be surprised and said: "Bai Lijue colluded with Gao Kening, Mr. Ye, you can't compete with him, you might as well give up." Ye Han pretended to be angry and scolded: "Bai Lijue, dog day, he dares to do this, I will call him immediately to warn him!" After scolding, he really hung up the phone to the Governor's Mansion, and hung up the phone before the other party could speak.Then he said confidently: "This time he doesn't dare anymore, Lawyer Deng, please change the bidding report again, I will offer a reserve price of 2.09 million yuan!" Deng Chenggao looked at Ye Han, but did not start writing. Ye Han picked up the pen from the desk and wrote on the bidding report: The reserve price is 2.1 million yuan. The two looked at each other and smiled. At this time, Xie Dian next door immediately called and reported to Gao Kening the amount of Ye Han's change in the reserve price. On that day, Ye Han came out of the Governor's Mansion to submit the report, and did not go back to the International Hotel, but went directly to the villa of Director Boduo.As soon as the paparazzi saw him, they immediately asked, "Brother Han, so you are here, no wonder no one answered my phone." Ye Han said: "Don't call my room from now on, Xie Dian is listening next door." "I see. No wonder Mr. Boduo called me just now and told me that Gao Kening also recovered the betting price to 2.1 million yuan!" "Don't change it now. Both of them are 2.1 million. The same number has a sequence. We reported a few hours earlier than Gao Kening." "Fortunately, the sixth child helped us." "Luo Zhiguo, the results will be announced tomorrow, you stay here for another night, and if there is any situation, come to the International Hotel and tell me in person." The paparazzi nodded. When Ye Han returned to his room at the International Hotel, the phone rang immediately. It was Gao Kening calling, saying that he was invited to the Central Hotel to discuss something important. Ye Han didn't want to go at first, but he was afraid that Gao Kening might become suspicious, so he finally decided to take a walk. In a VIP room on the tenth floor of the Central Hotel, Gao Kening personally received Ye Han. At this time, it was 9 o'clock in the evening, Gao Kening asked the kitchen to bring a table full of delicacies from mountains and seas, and then Gao Kening, Fu Jiye, Qiu Laoliu and others took turns to toast him. Ye Han didn't know what the other party's intention was, and it was inconvenient to ask directly, so he just gave Qiu Lao Liu a wink from time to time.Qiu Lao Liu also winked at him, which meant that there were many people present and it was inconvenient to talk. Ye Han had no choice but to stay until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night before Gao Kening ordered the cook to clean up the leftovers.Ye Han thought that the paparazzi would come to him if something happened, so he bid farewell to Gao Kening. Gao Kening stayed with each other bitterly, saying that there were still important matters that he did not discuss in the end. Ye Han finally found an opportunity. He followed Qiu Lao Liu when he was in a hurry at one o'clock in the morning, and asked in a low voice: "Lao Liu, why is Gao Kening looking for me?" Qiu Lao Liu looked around and saw that no one was eavesdropping, so he whispered into Ye Han's ear, "You will find out later, Gao Kening compromised with you." When Ye Han came out, Gao Kening was looking for him, sent his subordinates away, and led Ye Han into the small living room to drink tea and discuss business. The hanging clock on the wall made a clear and pleasant sound, and the two were silent for a while. Gao Kening raised his head to look at the clock, and said, "Mr. Ye, have you been delayed?" Ye Han shook his head politely. Gao Kening looked at Ye Han, looked away again, and said in a serious tone: "Old Fu used to go too far in many places, and even hurt you. You know, at that time, I didn't care too much .Now that Old Fu is dead, the old grievances and grievances should be settled, so there is no need to worry about it...Mr. Ye, can we start again?" "What restart?" "It's like this. Taixing company wants to make some changes in the way of operation, rent out individual casinos and let people other than the company operate them." "Which casino are you going to rent out?" "October Fifth Street, Fuyuan New Street, Central Hotel are all fine, but it depends on who is renting." "Thank you Mr. Gao for your kindness. It seems that Mr. Gao is indeed better than Fu Laorong. If you stabilize Ye, no one will bet with you, right? Unfortunately, it is too late. Why didn't you do it a few years ago? ?” "Why bother? If you continue to make trouble like this, apart from causing us to pay a large sum of gambling wages every year, it is the Macau government that benefits the fisherman. What can you get?" "From now on, let's be clear about everything. I don't hate you, and you don't hate me. If you say you have strength, you should make full use of it; I think I have ability, and I will use it all. Survival of the fittest, ancient and modern, so Only then will it be beneficial to the economic development of Macau, and you and I will be able to show our true colors!" Seeing that Ye Han didn't listen to him, Gao Kening said with a downcast face, "Well, I'd like to see what you can do, but as far as I know, you just rely on a friend to sell your luster." ..." "No matter what method I use, as long as I can beat you!" "Win me? Didn't you just change the reserve price to 2.1 million yuan?" Ye Han was taken aback, he never expected that after he saw through Xie Dian's bug, Gao Kening would still know his details.Thinking about it again, Gao Kening also bid 2.1 million yuan. According to the "first come, first served" rule, he can be sure of winning.He snorted through his nostrils, got up and left. Back at the International Hotel, as soon as I got off the elevator, the paparazzi greeted me and shouted: "Brother Han, why did you come back? It's too late now. After midnight, the quotation cannot be changed. Not long after you left, Mr. Bodo told me that the government has a document stipulating that if the reserve price is the same, the original licensee will be given priority instead of the order of precedence!” Ye Han's head buzzed, as if struck by lightning.
