Chapter 1801 What's Missing (5th Update)
"Come on, come on, Tianmo, put the fat cow in the grassland."
"Ma Yi, give me two pieces of that tender tofu."
"Hua Que, Can Shou, these bones are ripe, can I give you one?"
In the capital, among the water and clouds, the third-floor wing is steaming.
There were five people sitting on a large round table, eating hot pot with chopsticks and spoons, and "Shui Diao Ge Tou" was playing on the TV screen behind them.
The atmosphere is harmonious.
Ye Tianlong ate the soft tofu while blowing the cool air conditioner, his face felt very comfortable.
Ye Tianlong felt much more relaxed without having to report to the Capital Medical College. He slipped out to have a dinner with Tian Mo and Huang Que.
Things in the capital were almost over, so Tianmo and Huangque were a little bored. When they heard Ye Tianlong making hot pot, they naturally responded in unison.
After finishing the food in the bowl, Ye Tianlong put down his chopsticks, picked up a glass of white wine and shouted: "Come, come, it's rare to relax, and you won't go home until you're drunk."
Huang Que and Can Shou raised their glasses with a smile. The five of them touched it and drank it in one gulp. Tian Mo also stuffed an egg into it to suppress the alcohol.
"Brother, are we really going to Macao to open a casino?"
After drinking for three rounds, Canshou looked at Ye Tianlong and asked: "Let's not talk about the risks. One million is not even enough for rent."
"Why!"
Ye Tianlong's face became more depressed: "I have already promised to my eldest brother, so naturally I want to go to Aocheng for a visit."
"One million is indeed a bit short, but there is nothing we can do about it. My eldest brother has recently bought a lot of antiques, which has made the money on hand a bit tight."
Ye Tianlong picked up a spoonful of beef and said, "I can't blame him. After all, I was the one who made him lose his mind by playing with things."
"It's okay. I can take half of the 3 billion paid by Shiraishi Kang."
He picked up the beef and smiled: "It's really not enough. There are so many rich people in Macao, let's just knock down a few."
Huang Que smiled bitterly and took over the topic: "How many knocks?"
"Master Ye, don't forget, we have offended the Bao family and the Xue family in Aocheng, and now we are going to their territory, which is like meat on the chopping board."
He carefully reminded Ye Tianlong: "It would be better if you don't get knocked down..."
Canshou nodded: "Yes, we played them so badly a few days ago. If they know we are going, they will definitely take revenge secretly."
"The most important point is that you cut off the cooperation between the Jin family and the Bao family in planning to build a casino in Heilongjiang Province. This will overwhelm the Feng family's opportunity to take off."
There was also a hint of solemnity on Can Shou's face: "The Bao family absolutely hates us and will definitely prevent us from opening a casino."
When Tian Mo and Huang Que nodded, Ye Tianlong put the beef into his mouth, ate it in big mouthfuls, and then smiled and said:
"I know the Bao family will cause trouble, but our casino is not meant to operate forever."
"My elder brother said, as long as it can last for half a year or a year, it doesn't matter whether it is profitable or not."
Ye Tianlong stated the request: "The important thing is that the casino is legal, operating normally, and the procedures are in place."
When Tian Mo and Mai were slightly stunned, Huang Que frowned and said, "Isn't this the same as a leather bag company?"
"almost."
Ye Tianlong scooped up another spoonful of beef: "Anyway, as long as the casino stays open for half a year, it doesn't matter even if it costs money to stay open."
Hearing Ye Tianlong's explanation, Huang Que and the others breathed a sigh of relief: "If we open a casino like this, things will be much simpler."
There are no requirements for customers or profit, so there is no pressure.
"It's not easy either."
Ye Tianlong exhaled a long breath: "The process still needs to go on, and the venue, equipment, and personnel are also needed."
"The gambling license will be taken care of by Zhan Qinglou. The venue will be rented in Macao. The equipment is also available in the second-hand market. The staff is a bit difficult."
Ye Tianlong glanced at the four people: "Macao gambling industry employees have almost a uniform basic salary plus commission, and commission accounts for 80% of the income."
"In other words, we can hardly recruit anyone with our salary, and even if we can recruit people, they will leave after working for a week."
It is impossible to raise salaries to recruit people because they will be considered disruptive to the market, which will probably cause even more trouble.
Huang Que took over the topic: "This is not difficult. Let's recruit a group of people directly from Longmen. With eight taels of gold, we have a lot of gamblers who can be used."
Ye Tianlong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he gave a thumbs up and praised: "This is a good suggestion, it can support the appearance, and it can also control the situation."
"Tian Mo, you will call Shangguan later and ask her to prepare thirty 'casino' elites for me."
Tian Mo nodded: "Okay."
“It’s easy to solve the problem with manpower, but we need a manager.”
Huang Que looked at Ye Tianlong and said, "Although we have all been in casinos, management is by no means as simple as we thought."
"Equipment management, personnel scheduling, black and white, traveling together..."
Huang Que reminded Ye Tianlong: "We need someone who is proficient in casino rules, and preferably someone who can be trusted."
"What you said makes sense... someone who is well versed in casino rules..."
Ye Tianlong took a bite of beef, then lowered his head and began to think, to see if there were any candidates around him...
At this moment, Canshou hesitated for a moment, then squeezed out a sentence: "Brother, there is someone you can consider..."
Ye Tianlong raised his head: "Who?"
Canshou responded loudly: "My former creditor, the reformer of Zhao Dadao and his wife, Lei Jiuzhi!"
Ye Tianlong's eyes lit up instantly: "Yes, why did I forget Lao Lei, Canshou, you are responsible for contacting him."
"Tell him that I'm going to hire him to be the seventh gambling king in Australia."
"Whatever salary he wants, just ask for it."
Ye Tianlong still has a good impression of Lei Jiuzhi. He has made an indelible contribution to the Zhao Dadiao couple's new life.
Ye Tianlong has always wanted to visit, but he never had the time. Now that there is an opportunity for cooperation, he is naturally willing to be generous.
"Okay, I'll contact him."
Although Canshou felt that he would most likely be beaten if he asked Lei Jiuzhi to be a professional manager of a shell company, he was still willing to give it a try.
While Canshou and Tianmo were calling to arrange things, Ye Tianlong picked up the wine glass and drank a few more glasses with Huang Que and Mai Yi.
"Ding!"
Just as Ye Tianlong picked up the chopsticks and prepared to gnaw on a bone, an encrypted email flooded into his mobile phone. He opened it and saw that it was from Kong Zixiong.
It was the archives of Jiang Canxue's sudden death.
Ye Tianlong entered the password given by Kong Zixiong, opened the information to translate, and gnawed on the bone, wanting to put a final period on the trip to Beijing.
After gnawing a bone, he also flipped through more than a dozen pages of information and looked at dozens of photos, including car fragments, gun photos, and images of corpses...
The police information was detailed, making Ye Tianlong feel like he was back at the scene.
However, the genetic comparison was not detailed enough. It only verified a man and a woman, without further refinement, and did not mark Jiang Canxue's identity.
It was obviously Jiang Taibao's sudden death, which made Kong Zixiong feel that everything was over. In addition, Ye Tianlong killed Jiang Canxue with his own hands, so there was no need to waste time.
Although Ye Tianlong felt a little regretful, he didn't take it to heart.
But when he was about to turn off his phone after reading it, Ye Tianlong frowned again. He always felt that something was missing.
In his memory, there should be an object, but he didn't deliberately remember it at the time, so he couldn't remember it for a while.
This missing made Ye Tianlong feel uncomfortable. He flipped through the photos twice again, but still couldn't remember it.
"What is missing?"
Ye Tianlong drank the white wine in one gulp, pulled open a collar and stood up to pace. Huang Que and Mai Yi wanted to speak, but Ye Tianlong gently waved to stop them.
He circled the room three times, and finally stopped at the TV screen, which was playing a singing program.
Ye Tianlong stopped, not to listen to the song, but to see an old acquaintance, Xie Zuiyi.
She was as cold as ever, just like when she sang in the food stalls, her voice was very nice and intoxicating, and there was always a hint of sadness when listening to it.
Especially the guitar in her hand, playing it, it was like playing a person's heart...
"Guitar? Guitar?"
Ye Tianlong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, slapped his head and shouted: "I know what is missing."
There was no guitar box at the scene!
The guitar box in Jiang Canxue's hand!
