Ye Han spat heavily on the carpet, spattered He Minggao's face, and shouted: "At the beginning of the cooperation, it was agreed that the four people would share the shares equally. Now that you have made money, you know that it is profitable, so you propose this What an unreasonable request!" He Minggao still said unhurriedly: "At the beginning, it was agreed that the four people would share the shares equally, but there is no rule that in the future, in case of special circumstances, the relevant personnel are not allowed to increase their shares!" Ye Han said tit for tat: "If you can come up with a document that allows you to increase shares in special circumstances, I will accept it too!"

He Minggao said: "I can't get it out, and you can't get out the documents that can't add shares!" Huo Yingdong saw the distraught looks of the two, and said, "Let's talk about this later. We've just finished the new year. Everyone should be happy, and there's no need to go to war." The first board meeting broke up like this. After Ye Han left, Huo Yingdong said to He Minggao: "Today is too urgent, he should be given a chance to adapt, next time he will definitely succeed." A month later, the second board meeting was held.This time, He Minggao still did not wait for Ye Han to open his mouth, and said preemptively: "This meeting can be regarded as a continuation of the first meeting. I originally wanted to brew it for a while, but the situation does not allow it to be delayed. At present, the company's operations are optimistic. , Increase investment, accelerate infrastructure construction, such as building hotels, casinos, and buying transportation, all of which are urgent. Without investment, the business has no future. Directors, what do you think should be done?"

After thinking about it for a month, Ye Han knew that it would be difficult to stop him, so he took it lightly this time, and said with a sneer: "Mr. .” He Minggao didn't care about Ye Han, and turned his attention to Huo Yingdong.Huo Yingdong hesitated for a moment and said: "Ming Gao is a legal person and the managing director, so give him 2 million more shares!" Yan Zhili echoed, "I have no objection." Ye Han said: "I'm full of opinions, but what's the use? Be sensible. If you have opinions, you don't have any opinions." Regarding the matter of He Minggao's increase in shares, it was decided in this way, and it was written on the spot and deposited in the lawyer's office. No matter what happens in the future, Ye Han can't do it again and again.

But He Minggao's attack on Ye Han didn't stop there, another month passed, and the third board meeting was held. At the meeting, He Minggao said: "Now, the ship has been purchased and the land for the hotel has been confirmed, but the funds are still far from enough. What should we do? Do we just give up halfway like this?" Ye Han became nervous for a while, realizing that He Minggao had taken him under the knife again, and stared straight at He Minggao with his big eyes. He Minggao didn't care, and continued: "I'm the general manager, and I can increase the shares by 2 million yuan. Since there is a precedent, Mr. Huo is the chairman, so he should increase the shares by 2 million yuan."

Ye Han spat on the marble coffee table, pointed at He Minggao with a blushing face, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, so you guys have colluded a long time ago, before the new company was established, I, Ye Han, charged forward and immediately I have done a lot of hard work, and even Gao Kening came to lure me into the team. I have never had a second heart. Now that the company is profitable, you have changed the way to cheat me! What's a "share increase", it sounds nice, and you simply said that you want to dilute me shares, I feel better! He Minggao, you are wicked, you are not even as good as Fu Laorong!"

Huo Yingdong interjected: "Mr. Ye, don't speak so harshly, we have no other choice. From the perspective of developing the company, all businesses are waiting to flourish and everything needs money. Are you willing to develop slowly like this?" Ye Han turned to Fok Yingdong: "And you. I always regarded you as a good person in the past, but I never thought you were the same as He Minggao. At the critical moment, you would bite me and be his accomplice! Don't stand between me and He Minggao again. What a good person, I don't trust you anymore!" Huo Yingdong had never been scolded like this before, with a face full of shame and annoyance, he said angrily: "Okay, okay, I won't interfere in the future, and you will fight to the death!"

He Minggao said: "Mr. Ye, don't take your anger out on others, just come at me for everything. I haven't finished my words yet, please listen to the following: Huo Yingdong can add 2 million, and you, Ye Han, can also add 2 million, and Yan Zhili can't miss him! Are you satisfied now?" Ye Han was dumbfounded, his face flushed from holding back, and he pointed at He Minggao, and it took him a long time to say: "I'm poor, I have no money, you know I can't afford it, so you dare to force me like this! Why do you think about the company? For personal considerations! It’s really for the company, you can still invest and get interest according to bank rules, why, you can’t afford this loss? I knew you had no good intentions and deliberately entrapped me. I was blind and shouldn’t have let you in. .Well, I only have this one hundred catties, and I still have one million—200,000 have already been eaten by you, so it's up to you to do whatever you want with me!"

Ye Han was yelling and cursing, Huo Yingdong frowned and walked in front of He Minggao and said, "I didn't want to join at the beginning, the unpleasant cooperation is the most troublesome. Now that the company is in operation, I still have a lot of business in Hong Kong, and I have to go back tomorrow. " He Minggao still wanted to stay, but Huo Yingdong spoke firmly.He knew that he could only fight Ye Han by himself in the future. Here, Yan Zhili is persuading Ye Han.He Minggao was brought in by him, and the company had only been in operation for less than two years before a conflict arose.He is He Minggao's brother-in-law, and he also feels that some of his actions have gone too far.In order to comfort Ye Han, he said that he did not plan to take out the 2 million yuan that was his share.

So Ye Han finally had a little balance. In order to control Macau's gambling industry for a longer period of time, on November 5, 1964, He Minggao voluntarily applied to the government to revise the first contract one year in advance. .Since 1965, the tax amount has increased to 5.167 million yuan per year.Among them, 70% will be paid in Hong Kong dollars, the rest will be paid in Macau dollars, and 5% of the tax will be paid as tourism funds and mutual assistance fees for civil servants.During the five years from 1970 to 1974, the annual tax increase was 1 million yuan.From 1980 to the expiration, the annual tax increase is 500,000 yuan.Donate no less than 300,000 yuan to charitable relief every year, and be responsible for the construction of the new port area and sanitation facilities.The specified 17 types of gaming are permitted in casinos, but "slot machines" are not allowed.When the contract expires, the nightclub casino building and accessories will be handed over to the Macau government free of charge.

The contract was revised in advance, which surprised Ye Han. He had already realized this, but he was unwilling to say it out, so that He Minggao would benefit from it. He did not expect that he also had such advanced prediction ability.Extending the franchise period to 25 years, imperceptibly shutting out all competitors, this move is really powerful.Ye Han clearly felt: Although He Minggao doesn't know how to gamble in casinos, he is proficient in life's gambling skills! Everything in the business is being realized one by one according to Ye Han's prediction. In 1965, the number of visitors to Macau reached 156,000 throughout the year, most of whom were Hong Kong people, and most of these Hong Kong people came to Macau casinos.

In order to meet the coming of a more vigorous tourism climax in the future, that year, the four giants of the company decided to build a trans-century luxury hotel on the coast of Nanwan at the southern tip of the Macau Peninsula, which will become the symbol of Macau in the future - Hotel Lisboa. Ye Han has spent his whole life in casinos, and he firmly believes in superstition and Feng Shui.Behind the design of the Lisboa Hotel, there are all hidden "Ye Han Thoughts". The "Lisboa Hotel" cost 60 million yuan, and the first phase was completed in 1966. This is a birdcage-style building with a round body of glass with a height of more than ten floors. The design is unique, and the location, orientation and architectural form Very superstitious Feng Shui, full of Feng Shui mysteries everywhere.Its shape resembles a "bird cage", which means that after a bird flies into it, it will be trapped and it is difficult to jump out of the cage.The design of the entrance of Lisboa Hotel is also unique. Some people call it "Tiger's Mouth". From a distance, it looks like a tiger with its bloody mouth open, and there are still traces of blood on the lower jaw.In fact, in Feng Shui, the pattern of "bat mouse hooking money" is adopted. The bat mouse spreads its wings, and the five characters "Lisboa Hotel" are just on the bat mouse's head. The light pipes on both sides symbolize the bat mouse's claws. , the rat's mouth is open, showing the shape of swallowing.The most unique thing is the roof of the Lisboa Hotel. Concrete Western swords are inserted horizontally and straight into a heart-shaped pearl. This is the "thousand swords piercing the heart" array.The interior of the hotel is also full of mysteries. The roads at the gates are all slightly inward to prevent the money hooked by the bats and mice from being lost.The lobby of the hotel is the belly of the bat mouse, and the ground is composed of more than 100 pieces of marble.When the opponent enters this gossip formation, they will be in chaos, and there is no way they can not lose in gambling.On the round vault of the lobby, there is a mural of strong wind and waves made of tiles, which puts the gamblers in the midst of the storm.There are many cross lifeboats on the sea, implying that they are coming to save people who are about to be drowned.In fact, these ships are the pirate ships of Lisboa.The design of the Grand Hotel is classical European style, and the place where the pillars are located is said to be related to "Feng Shui".The appearance of the Lisboa Hotel is still a scene. Looking from the sides of the Macau-Taipa Bridge or the South Bay, it looks like a big ship. A large column behind the "Bird Cage" is like a chimney on a ship. Guests entering it are like taking a boat, and the fate is in the hands of the captain. In terms of design, whether it is the "bird cage", "bat mouse hook money", "thousand sword piercing the heart formation", and "eight trigrams formation", all of them are slaughtering customers.However, Mr. "Feng Shui" still explained: "Although the shape of the Lisboa Casino looks like a bird cage, it only traps the birds instead of killing them. "Shengmen" left, and will become a "repeat customer" in the future." The Lisboa Casino is also a circular building, partly connected with the hotel. It is divided into upper and lower floors. slot machine) room, the VIP room is dedicated to entertain high-roller gamblers who spend a lot of money. There are slot machines in the small hall, but this kind of gambling tool is just a small overture in the super casino. After the prelude, we will enter the main topic, which is the spacious casino.The big casino is inside the small hall. The roof of the big casino is hemispherical, and you can only see its high and wide roof when you look up.The whole building has a strong sense of space, and it looks like it can accommodate thousands of people, like a giant meeting place.Standing in it, the buzzing and stacking sound flow dangled back and forth, as if restless elves squeezed between the walls, and the noise and irritability were endless. The Lisboa Hotel was in the final stage of renovation, when suddenly the subordinates reported to Ye Han that an acquaintance had come to look for him. When Ye Han was guessing who it would be, Luo Zhiguo quickly walked into the hall and shouted, "Brother Han, how have you been?" Ye Han was overjoyed, and went up to him and punched Luo Zhiguo in the chest: "Paparazzi, let's go to the hotel. I'm so busy these days that I'm dizzy. It's rare for you to come out to see me. Let's talk about it!" Luo Zhiguo was full of words, but seeing Ye Han like this, he had no choice but to follow behind and went to a nearby small hotel.The two sat down and ordered food, Ye Han stared at Luo Zhiguo: "Why are you so bitter?" The paparazzi said: "Mr. Bodeau has retired and returned to Portugal..." No need for paparazzi to say the following, Ye Han already understood what he meant, but deliberately didn't mention it, and said with a smile: "Reluctant?" The paparazzi blushed: "As soon as he left, the newly appointed Finance Minister immediately fired me, and I lost my job..." "There are so many jobs in the world, you can go to work again, why hang yourself on a tree?" "I've got nothing to do but run the casino—" "If you don't speak up yourself, how can you ask me to help you?" "I knew Brother Han would help me. I'm looking for you today because I want to find a job under you. Your new casino is really magnificent. If I can be a croupier here, then I will be satisfied!" "Bah, you worthless thing, a lot of age, but your eyes are only fixed on the position of a croupier! I'm ashamed of you!" "For a person like me, I'm satisfied with a job. I don't dare to expect extravagance." When the waiter brought the food and wine to the table, Ye Han took a sip first, pointed at the paparazzi with his chopsticks and said, "Don't do this to me, Ye Mou knows how many twists and turns your Luo Zhiguo's intestines have, I am Shareholders are in charge of the casino work, and I have the final say on the personnel arrangements. Why don't you be a croupier, isn't that intentional to provoke me? Well, I'll let you be a croupier!" "Brother Han, don't, don't take it seriously. I'm so old, I can't bear the face of being a croupier, I, I... I'd better get a supervisor." "Okay, I'll let you take care of the Lisboa Hotel, but I've said my ugly words first, you can't disappoint me. Lisboa is currently the largest hotel in Haojiang, and it may become a symbol of the entire Macau in the future. This job is not It’s so easy to do, you must do your best.” The paparazzi rubbed their hands together, mouths from ear to ear: "I must do my best to do it well. I'll treat you to this meal." Ye Han stared and cursed: "Fuck your mother, I, Ye Han, can't even afford a meal!" At this time, the paparazzi was so happy that he didn't know what to do, and repeatedly scolded himself as an asshole. After the meal, Ye Han said: "Go back today and get ready. Your appearance must be trimmed. You have an unshaven beard. Are you worthy of being the supervisor of Lisboa? Come to the office to report tomorrow morning." The paparazzi stroked his chin and said, "Mr. Bodo said that a man must have a beard to be attractive. Well, I'll shave it off. See you tomorrow." Ye Han returned to Lisboa. On the Lisboa staff roster, the name of "Luo Zhiguo" was the first to be written. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Ye Han said "Come in", and a tall and thin man with a tricky face appeared in front of him. Ye Han didn't know him, so he asked angrily, "Who are you looking for?" The tall and thin man smiled all over his face, with a humble look: "You are Director Ye, right? My name is Zhu Yongxiao, a relative of General Manager He. President He asked me to come to you and arrange my future work." "Do you have a letter of introduction?" "Yes, yes, I almost forgot, here, here..." Zhu Yongxiao took out a note from his underwear and handed it to Ye Han. Ye Hanzhan looked at it, his face turned pale with shock. He didn't expect that He Minggao wanted Zhu Yongxiao to come to Lisboa to take up the position of supervisor. He tore up the note, pointed at Zhu Yongxiao's nose and cursed: "This rogue-headed mouse-eyed man You look like you still want to be the director of Lisboa, get the hell out of here and let He Minggao come and see me!" Zhu Yongxiao backed away in panic, and when he reached the door, he turned around and ran dexterously like a monkey. The more Ye Han thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he picked up the phone and dialed the board of directors directly, and yelled at He Minggao: "Minggao, who is Zhu Yongxiao? I told him to go back, and I have arranged a paparazzi for the supervisor's position!" Unable to help the other party answer, he hung up the phone with a "snap", picked up a chair and sat down, sulking. The phone rang and he didn't answer.The phone rang non-stop, so I simply tore off the cord, then crossed Erlang's legs, leaned on the backrest, and waited for He Minggao to come to him, and then had a big fight, and let the paparazzi be the supervisor of Lisboa... From morning to afternoon, there was still no sign of He Minggao.Ye Han finally lost his composure, and walked out of the office, only to see a group of workers busy around under Zhu Yongxiao's command. Ye Han frowned, and shouted loudly: "Without my order, who would have made you busy!" The workers stopped their work and looked at Ye Han together. One of the foremen said, "Director Zhu asked us to do it." Ye Han approached, looked Zhu Yongxiao up and down, this time Zhu Yongxiao was no longer as humble as before, and looked at Ye Han with his chest in his arms, challenging him. Ye Han understood that Zhu Yongxiao dared to be so rude at the instigation of He Minggao, and cursed: "The dog is relying on the power of others!" Zhu Yongxiao let go of his hands, and said to the workers in a nonchalant manner: "Work, what are you doing in a daze, be careful, I will fire you!" Ye Han wanted to get angry at first, but then he realized that in his own capacity, he didn't need to argue with a servant, so he suppressed his anger and said, "I'll make you proud, get out tomorrow!" Zhu Yongxiao sneered: "Mr. Ye, three of the four members of the board of directors agree that I will be the director of Lisboa. I'm afraid you won't be able to drive me away!" Ye Han snorted and walked out of the lobby.Thinking that the paparazzi will come to work tomorrow, I can't help feeling anxious, no matter what, this matter must be implemented before tomorrow morning, so I had to bite the bullet and go to He Minggao. There was no sign of He Minggao in the board of directors, and when he asked the staff, he also said that he was missing.Ye Han understood that this was He Minggao's intention to let him go. The next day, at eight o'clock sharp, the paparazzi happily came to work, and when they met, Ye Han led him to the lobby without saying a word, and announced to the workers: "This is your supervisor, Mr. Luo Zhiguo, everyone Be sure to assist him in his work.” At this time, Zhu Yong, who was full of pride, became anxious, and pointed to his nose and asked Ye Han: "He is the supervisor, so what am I?" Ye Han put his right thumb between his index finger and middle finger and made a fist: "You count this!" Zhu Yongxiao jumped up: "You are only a B. Let me tell you, I am a relative of Mr. He, and he personally arranged my position. What are you? You are the last of the four directors!" Ye Han didn't care too much, and just made the workers listen to the paparazzi.The workers have been working under the direct leadership of Ye Han from the foundation of Lisboa until now, and they only know him as the "boss", so they leave Zhu Yongxiao aside. Zhu Yongxiao couldn't be convinced, so he quarreled and quarreled. Seeing that it couldn't end, He Minggao came out from nowhere and stood beside Ye Han. Zhu Yongxiao cried and explained the situation to He Minggao. He Minggao smiled and said to Ye Han: "Mr. Ye, let's talk in the office, it's not convenient here." Ye Han also felt that it would be out of style to argue with others in front of the servants, so he followed He Minggao into the office. "Mr. Ye, after I received your call yesterday, I was looking for you. I didn't want to deal with urgent matters in Hong Kong." He Minggao sat down and said, "I hope you can understand. As for the arrangement, Mr. Huo, Mr. Yan and I have already decided that Mr. Zhu Yongxiao will take up this position, and it is difficult to change it now." Ye Han's anger did not come out in one place: "Don't use Mr. Huo and Mr. Yan to pressure me. When the transfer contract was signed on May 26, 1965, you have already stated your position and will no longer interfere in the internal affairs of the casino. Before I let you do everything, and suffered a lot, this time absolutely not! I have already promised this position to Mr. Luo Zhiguo. When we bid for the gambling cards, he made great contributions to us. In addition, he is also my friend for many years. He has spent half his life in casinos and is proficient in business. No matter from which point of view, this position must be given to him. Who is Zhu Yongxiao? What contribution has he made to the company? Does he understand casino management?!" He Minggao remained unhurried, wiped his hooked nose with a handkerchief habitually, and said: "Lisboa is our biggest casino, and it will be a symbol of the whole Macau in the future. Therefore, the management personnel It must be high-quality, young and flexible. Although Zhu Yongxiao does not understand gambling, this problem is not a big problem. As long as he is smart, he will be able to deal with casinos in a few months. Zhu Yongxiao is young and has studied in the United States. He is also studying business management. As for Mr. Luo Zhiguo, I will arrange a good place for him. The fifth street casino is not small at the beginning of October, so let him manage it?" He Minggao's words were like a soft sponge, stuffed in Ye Han's throat, it couldn't go up or down, and he couldn't vent his anger. "Anyway, I have promised the paparazzi that I am the director, and I will command a large group of subordinates in the future. If my words don't count, who will listen to me? In my opinion, the paparazzi will stay in Lisboa, and Zhu Yongxiao will go to the fifth day of October. street!" "You are a director, I admit it, but I, Mr. Yan and Mr. Huo are also directors. In this situation, we must consider it as a whole. One person loses face and three people lose face. Such a simple arithmetic problem can even be understood by elementary school students." .” "I knew you would say these things. The three of you have teamed up to deal with me from the very beginning. In the past few years, I have been deprived of all my powers. In the end, only casinos are left—you don't know how to gamble. Shot at me. But no, you still haven’t let me go now, settle down in Lisboa with your confidantes, so that you can replace me in the future. I’m not afraid, just use all your tricks!” "Mr. Ye can't say that. We are on the same front. Making money is the goal. There is no such thing as a partnership to deceive you." "That's not cheating on me? So you don't think it's enough! Today I'll just say: Either keep the paparazzi, or I'll leave!" "Let's go, I can just try Zhu Yongxiao's ability. When you figure it out, we still welcome you back." Ye Han spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and wanted to spit on He Minggao's face——finally he gave in, spit on the executive desk, turned and left, and the sound of the door closing when he went out made the ceiling buzz. Ye Han lay at home for a few days this time, tossing and turning, feeling that he still couldn't leave the casino, especially the Lisboa, which was designed by him, was the place he dreamed of. He jumped up from the bed and scolded Said: "I'm not here, I don't know how those guys are messing around again!" Lisboa is about to open, and he has to be there to handle some business. Stepping into the hotel lobby, only to hear Zhu Yongxiao bossing around and lecturing his subordinates, Ye Han became angry. When Zhu Yongxiao found Ye Han, his voice immediately lowered, and he ran over to greet him.As He Minggao said, Zhu Yongxiao is a quick-witted person, knowing that Ye Han will still be his immediate boss in the future, there is a great need to please him.After greeting him, he said, "Mr. Ye, Mr. He has arranged for your friend to be on Fifth Street in October. I went to visit him yesterday. He is very happy." Ye Han ignored it, he didn't like this, he looked around, looked up and saw the ceiling was hanging very high, so he found an excuse and yelled: "Du Na is a bunch of idiots! Is this called a casino? The ceiling is so far from the ground, and the lights can't reach the gaming table, how can the guests gamble?!" The workers all knew that they were not scolding them. They had had enough of Zhu Yongxiao's grievances these days, and they all winked to indicate that this was done according to the supervisor's wishes. Ye Han called Zhu Yongxiao to his side, and pointed to the ceiling: "Remove it for me, remove it all! Remake it." Zhu Yongxiao rubbed his hands, blushed and said, "Mr. He taught us to do this." Mentioning He Minggao made Ye Han even more angry, scolded Zhu Yongxiao, went to the office of the board of directors, and took advantage of the problem to criticize the unreasonable decoration, which should be dismantled and refitted immediately. He Minggao knew that Ye Han was taking the opportunity to vent his anger, and waited for Ye Han to say enough without saying a word, and then used his trump card: "About the decoration of Lisboa, you are absent these days, Mr. Huo, I and Yan The husband has seriously discussed it and thinks that this is the best solution and cannot be demolished!" Ye Han really couldn't resist. He Minggao could represent his brother-in-law and friends, but Ye Han could only represent himself. In this three-on-one situation, he could only stand on the losing side. But this time he did not give in, and returned to Lisboa angrily, and remodeled the lobby and casino according to his own ideas. A few days later, He Minggao came over and had to acquiesce. Seeing that He Minggao didn't speak, Ye Han finally managed to save some face. After walking around the hotel, he returned to the office and proudly said to He Minggao, "Last night I thought about it for a long time, and I think it should be done at the entrance of the casino." Write a few words to make the gamblers feel comfortable. I am not a high-level poet, but I am quite proficient in gambling, so I wrote a poem based on my own experience and experience." With that said, he took out a piece of manuscript paper from the drawer. He Minggao took it, and applauded immediately after watching it.There are four lines in the poem, and the way is: Gambling is invincible, bet lightly to enjoy yourself, use spare money to play, and keep entertaining. The poem created by Ye Han was quickly written by craftsmen and placed in the most eye-catching place at the entrance of the casino. Walking out of Lisboa, Ye Han looked left and right at Lisboa from a macro perspective, and always felt that something was missing. It felt like a dragon had been drawn, but only a pair of eyes was missing.Suddenly, Ye Han had an idea, and said to He Minggao: "Mr. He, what Lisboa lacks is an iconic item. Since it is a casino, how about casting a huge metal gambling roulette and placing it on the top?" He Minggao agreed.The metal gambling roulette has been cast and placed on the top, which really has the finishing touch. It can attract the attention of tourists from a distance and give people a refreshing feeling. In June 1970, Lisboa opened as scheduled. Before the opening, Ye Han still had to make a lot of advertisements, introducing various facilities and gambling methods inside the casino in lengthy newspapers. After the sound of firecrackers exploded, guests flocked here. The Lisboa Casino is open, and anyone can enter as long as they don’t bring a bag. There is no limit to those who are willing to gamble and those who are unwilling to gamble. At the door is Ye Han's poem.The guests will quickly remember it when they see it.After the ribbon cutting, Ye Han was among the guests, walked in through the door, admiring his masterpieces one by one. After entering the door, the first thing you see is a small hall, and there are rows of automatic slot machines—that is, "slot machines"—under the colorful lights.On each row of planes, it is indicated in Chinese and Portuguese whether to vote in Hong Kong dollars or Portuguese dollars; some swallow one yuan, and some swallow five cents. Those who are interested take banknotes to the service desk to exchange coins, jingle them into an aluminum plate, put them in front of a "slot machine" of their choice, and stuff the "tiger's mouth".The guests patiently fed one coin after another into the "Tiger's Mouth". After each feeding, they shook the joystick, only to hear the crisp sound of the coin falling into the bottom of the metal trough, and a bright red indicator light was on: Missed , Miss, or miss.This kind of contest between man and machine is more dramatic.Suddenly, if the light shows: Winning the lottery.Xilihuala, Xilihuala, "Tiger's Mouth" spits out one coin after another, which can fill up the empty plate. Walking through the small hall, it suddenly dawned on me that an extremely large casino appeared in front of me. The gaming tables are all designed by Ye Han himself, big and small, rectangular, square, oval, dark blue or brown velvet table tops are rich and luxurious, there are as many as 75 gaming tables, only this number, at present The whole world is unique.The gambling tables are different, and the gambling methods are also varied. Ye Han ingeniously gathered the wisdom of the world's gambling circles. Ye Han announced in the newspaper that after the opening, the place will be open every day for 365 days a year, and the seasons of nature have nothing to do with it. Gamblers, rich or poor, as long as they have the money to bet, will Can be a guest of Lisboa. The playing cards used in the casino are specially designed by Ye Han. At first glance, they seem to be no different from ordinary playing cards. In fact, there is a different world inside them. There is a layer of special substance in the middle, and the cards cannot be played with any equipment. see through.In addition, the croupier who presides over the card distribution often eliminates some white cards before the card distribution, so as to disturb the vision and memory of professional gamblers.Some other gambling tools are also specially made, making it extremely difficult to cheat. There is a closed-circuit television system for monitoring in the venue, and advanced recording devices are installed at the bottom of each gaming table to record all people's conversations truthfully to prevent countless disputes at the gaming table.These preventive measures are well-known and written, and they did not bring inconvenience and scruples to people. Instead, they became the capital of casinos to attract gamblers with a fair face. People here come from all over the world, with all skin colors, most of them look decent, and no one shouts anything.There are men, women and children sitting on the gaming table, most of them are middle-aged.Husband and wife go to battle together, wives sit on the stage, and there are not a few men standing behind to help out.Probably they believe in a saying: men have bad hands, women are lucky. Beside each gaming table stood waitresses in cinnabar dresses.She is holding a long and thin round wooden stick, which is used to gather together the plastic chips that gamblers place bets on. currency value. The turntable lay quietly on the gaming table, and the orange pointer looked like a devil waiting to be attacked.God only knows who it will be at the last second.If the chips are on the "big" side, and the pointer of the turntable points to "big", you can make money, otherwise you can only lose money.It's a winner or a loser, depending on which side you take the risk on. Dozens of hands placed plastic chips on the edge of the gaming table, crackling and spinning.The hesitation to bet on this side or that side is just grinding.One after another, they finally put the chips on the gaming table one by one, and the bets on the left and right sides of the turntable were paid up a lot.The waitress flicked the slender round stick vigorously, and the turntable spun rapidly, turning beyond recognition... Spin, spin, spin like hell.There is still hope.Spinning is an unknown number. People who bet on the bet stare fixedly at the turntable that turns into a flower, wondering how many times they have silently recited God's blessing, Bodhisattva's blessing or God's blessing in their hearts.Some people are always lucky and some are unlucky. The speed of the turntable slowed down, and the pointer resumed its own shape from the orange arc line, wobbling as if looking for the final foothold, as if it was about to stop at the word "big", and slid, slid to The word "small"... With a flick of the service lady's round wooden stick, a large pile of chips at the end of the "big" character returned to the casino, and the chips at the "small" character end were distributed to all bettors, adding doubled chips, more than before. Double it.You can take it away, you can re-bet it, the next round is about to start... Let’s say that after the opening of the Lisboa Hotel, due to the huge scale and variety of casinos attached to it, and the protection of the government, its reputation spread like wildfire in a short period of time, and it soon became famous in Southeast Asia and many countries and regions in the world. , so that Macau has become a veritable "Oriental Casino". This scene was predicted and described by Ye Han at the beginning.Ye Han's design for the entire Macau Casino has become a reality. Lisboa is earning millions of gold every day, business is in full swing, and gamblers from all over the world come here in droves. Ye Han has naturally become a figure admired by everyone in this oriental casino. However, joy and sorrow are themselves a pair of twin brothers and sisters. When Ye Han was full of glory, He Minggao, who had been hiding behind the scenes, began to step onto the stage. He Minggao also used the tools of public opinion, posing as the first owner of "Lisboa", to conduct all-round publicity for himself and increase his popularity.Macau's "Overseas Chinese News" is his mouthpiece, advocating that he is "good at dealing with affairs, even better at being a gentleman, able to respect the virtuous and corporal, wise but not arrogant, rich but not arrogant, and humble himself."He himself often flaunts the six principles of life in public places: treat people with sincerity, work with diligence, do things by himself, gather talents, plan carefully, and trade fairly. In the second step, He Minggao began to sit in the Lisboa Hotel and take care of casino affairs.After a few months, he knew the business and personnel of the casino well. At the beginning of 1972, He Minggao presided over the first board meeting of the year, and even Huo Yingdong, who had never been involved in the gambling industry in Macau, was invited to attend. The purpose of this meeting is to carry out drastic reforms to casino management.In fact, it was the last time that Ye Han was cornered. At the meeting, He Minggao first said: "Now is the 1970s, and our casino system is still standing still in the 1950s and 1960s. In order to bring Macau's gambling industry to a new level, the first issue is to reform the system. Replace the old system with a modern management method. The modern management method is mainly reflected in the quality of the staff - including age, knowledge structure, clothing, language, etc. must be subject to discipline constraints, for example, no shouting, No foul language, no tongues, no spitting—” Ye Han felt that every one of He Minggao's words was aimed at him. He spit on the ground and said loudly: "Don't spit out the phlegm. Do you want me to swallow it? I have spit all my life. I am getting old. , can't be changed!" "If you can't change it, you have to change it," He Minggao said. "Old age is not a reason. The world belongs to young people. Currently, the business personnel in casinos are generally of poor quality, aging, with a lot of phlegm, and serious feudal habits. They often call themselves brothers and sisters. Therefore, My first thing this year is to replace the older practitioners!" He Minggao's move almost strangled Ye Han's throat.These business personnel are all Ye Han's original team in the early days, and most of them occupy important positions. Ye Han is the "boss" in their minds.Over the years, the reason why Ye Han has been in the country is all because of their support.If they were replaced, Ye Han would be alone... Ye Han's eyes rolled white, facing the three opponents who had already formed an alliance, he finally couldn't swear, he just spit one mouthful after another, and after spitting enough, he said angrily: "You want to change?" They, of course, can't tolerate me. Well, I'm old and have many strange problems. I'll leave, and I won't occupy the latrine anymore..." Yan Zhili persuaded: "Mr. Ye, I want to open some. Minggao's approach is generally for the company's development." Huo Yingdong also echoed: "Yes, if the old ones don't retreat, how will the new ones come up? Without newcomers, how will the company develop?" He Minggao said: "Of course, the old ones are all Mr. Ye's friends. After retiring, they will not be able to make a living. I will make proper arrangements and issue a pension. I have already discussed with Mr. Huo and Mr. Yan, and most of them use Local people, I have already made a list and reported to the government yesterday, the government is very supportive, so this matter is settled..." In the end, Ye Han only saw He Minggao's mouth moving, opening his bloody mouth, spitting out poisonous messages, and rushing towards him... Life is like gambling, and the art of gambling is endless.Ye Han once smashed the "Blinding Eye Technique", "Snake Head Technique", "Listening Dice Technique"... but he couldn't parry He Minggao's gambling skills.He already felt physically and mentally exhausted, at least he couldn't bet on He Minggao in his lifetime.Ye Han said: "Dear shareholders, I, Ye, have surrendered. At this time, there is only one request. Please see that for the sake of cooperation for many years, you must fulfill me." He, Yan, and Huo looked at Ye Han together...
