Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Receiving Le Huizhen's gaze, Lu Yongqiang pretended to be embarrassed and said, "That's fine. When Aunt Ma comes, let her take care of your good friend. You can go out with me to meet Luo Sen."

After Aunt Ma, who cooked, came, Lu Yongqiang and Le Huizhen left. As for Tong Keren, she took her medicine and went to sleep.

After Lu Yongqiang and the other man went out, they went straight to a nearby hotel. As for meeting Rosen, that was complete bullshit. Lu Yongqiang didn't even call Rosen.

In the afternoon, Lu Yongqiang left the hotel refreshed. He first sent Le Huizhen, who had been tortured by him, home, and then drove to meet Rosen.

In a private room in a teahouse, Lu Yongqiang asked, "Mr. Lei, you said you wanted to discuss something with me. So tell me, what is it?"

Luo Sen didn't expect Lu Yongqiang to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Mr. Lu, have you heard about the Supreme Gambling King Competition to be held in Macau Island next month?"

Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "It was Jiang Shanhe, Tiger Eye of the Four Seas Gang, who organized the Supreme Gambling King Competition. I've heard about it before, but it shouldn't have much to do with me, right?"

Rosen said, "Several gangs on Taiwan Island have bought a lot of shares in casinos in the United States. Tiger Eye Jiang Shanhe is trying to make a name for himself in the gambling world, which is why the Supreme Gambling King Competition on Australia Island was launched."

Hearing Rosen say this, Lu Yongqiang couldn't help but chuckle.

Hearing Lu Yongqiang's laughter, Rosen asked, "Why are you laughing, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yongqiang chuckled and said, "I remember there was a world gambling competition a few years ago, and a world gambling god was decided at that time.

What? You don't dare fight for the title of World Gambling God, but now you're ready to fight to the death for the title of Gambling King? And the Supreme Gambling King? Isn't that funny?"

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Rosen's face looked a little ugly. He was a little annoyed. In the United States, he was known as the supreme Chinese gambler. According to Lu Yongqiang, he, the supreme Chinese gambler, was nothing but shit and was degraded to worthless.

Rosen really wanted to walk away, but this time he needed Lu Yongqiang's help, so he could only suppress his anger.

"Mr. Lu does have a point. This is indeed ridiculous. But there are not many people in this world who are not trapped by fame and fortune. We are all ordinary people, and we have to work hard for fame and fortune all our lives."

Rosen tried to save his face by saying a few words and then immediately got down to business.

"These gangs on Taiwan Island have united, and they're not just eyeing the United States. The fact that this gambling tournament is being held on Australia Island is clearly a sign of something. Perhaps once the gambling tournament is over, Tiger Eye Jiang Shanhe will start causing trouble on Australia Island. Then Mr. Lu's business on Australia Island will probably be affected."

Lu Yongqiang said, "Rosen, don't beat around the bush. Tell me what you want from me."

Rosen said, “Mr. Lu, I want you to send Crab to participate in this Supreme Gambling King Competition.

My boss doesn't want Tiger Eye Jiang Shanhe to win, but I'm not sure I can beat Jiang Shanhe by myself. If I can cooperate with Crab, then we'll be infallible."

After Rosen finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang fell into deep thought. After a moment's consideration, he said, "Rosen, I've heard about your reputation in the United States. You're the supreme Chinese gambling master, Lei Li. Since you've built such a great reputation, you shouldn't be afraid of a Tiger Eye Jiang Shanhe. There must be something else going on here, right? If you don't explain clearly, I'm afraid I won't send any crabs to compete."

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Rosen's face changed, and then he said with a wry smile: "Mr. Lu, you are really a genius, it seems that nothing can be hidden from you.

My boss received news that Tiger Eye Jiang Shanhe is backed not only by several gangs in Taiwan, but also by forces from Thailand and Xiaozizi. These forces have united and intend to get a piece of the pie in the casinos in the United States and Australia.

This time, the Supreme Gambling King Competition has representatives from both Thailand and Xiao Rizi. I'm not afraid of Tiger Eye Jiang Shanhe alone, but if we add representatives from both Thailand and Xiao Rizi, I'm afraid I have no chance of winning."

After Luo Sen finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang shook his head and said, "Luo Sen, so many forces are involved this time, why should I get involved in this mess?

Don't talk about doing it for the business in Macau. The several casinos in Macau are the business of the entire Hung Hing Society. They have nothing to do with me. I am only responsible for their management for one year.

Those casinos only make a few bucks a year, so it's not worth it for me to get involved in such a mess. It's not worth it for me."

Seeing Lu Yongqiang's attitude, Luo Sen felt a little anxious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Lu, if you are willing to help, my boss is willing to give you a large sum of money as a reward. And if Mr. Lu is interested in developing in the United States one day, my boss should be able to help you!"

After hearing this, Lu Yongqiang tapped his fingers lightly on the table. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Your boss's sincerity sounds good, but the risk is still too great. The gangs on Taiwan Island are difficult enough to deal with, and with the influence of Thailand and Xiao Rizi added to the mix, the risks involved are..."

Rosen quickly added, "Mr. Lu, we understand you're concerned about the risks. But as long as Crab participates, we'll arrange comprehensive security measures."

Luo Sen's words made Lu Yongqiang laugh. He shook his head and said, "The risk I'm talking about isn't the safety of Crab during the gambling game. Tiger Eye Jiang Shanhe needs to win at the poker table to gain fame. If a contestant gets into trouble during the gambling game, then even if he wins, the value of this gambling game will be greatly reduced. Therefore, during the gambling game, Jiang Shanhe is more concerned about the safety of you contestants than anyone else.

The risks I'm talking about are the risks I need to take after the betting match. So many forces are cooperating, and I ruined their plans. You don't think that after the betting match, this matter is over, right?"

After listening to Lu Yongqiang's words, Rosen was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Mr. Lu, don't worry about this. We have already contacted multiple forces to check and balance them. Once you help us, the forces behind us will also surface to jointly deal with subsequent risks."

Lu Yongqiang raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Tell me, which forces are they?"

Rosen took a deep breath. "Several of the major European families and some underground forces in Southeast Asia have long been dissatisfied with the expansion of Thai and Japanese forces and have long been looking for an opportunity to suppress them."

Lu Yongqiang crossed his arms, a flicker of thought in his eyes. After a long moment, he slowly spoke, "Even with this help, there are still too many variables. Besides, the benefits I gain far outweigh the risks I have to bear."

Rosen quickly interjected, "Mr. Lu, this is a rare opportunity. Not only can you earn a generous reward, but you can also make friends with more powerful forces and expand your network. You should understand the benefits better than I do, Mr. Lu."

Lu Yongqiang raised his lips, then shook his head and said, "Rosen, you are not a good lobbyist, and you know in your heart how much water there is in everything you just said, so I won't expose you.

If your boss really wants to cooperate with me, then ask him to send someone important over. You are a little lacking in your ability.

Rosen, that's all for today! I have other things to do, so I'll leave now."

After leaving the teahouse, Lu Yongqiang showed a sneer on his face. It seemed that during his time in the United States, Rosen's brain had not improved at all, and he even had the problem of talking nonsense.

Rosen thought that Lu Yongqiang knew nothing about his background, so he could just say some empty words to fool Lu Yongqiang.

But what he didn't know was that in just one night, Lu Yongqiang had already known everything about him.

After leaving Hong Kong City, Rosen did quite well. When he was a technical consultant at a San Francisco casino, he was appreciated by the casino's behind-the-scenes boss and was later sent to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas as a technical consultant.

Although they are both casino technical consultants, the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas is not comparable to the casino in San Francisco, so the identities and status of these casino consultants vary greatly.

Some politicians, financial groups, etc. in Taiwan need casinos to launder money for them. The funds involved are as high as tens of billions every year. If the casino is too small, it cannot launder so much black money.

These forces in Taiwan initially set their sights on Macau Island, but Mr. He in Macau Island did not want these people to cause trouble in Macau Island, and they failed to obtain the operating rights of the casino from Mr. He.

So at that time, Lei Gong of the Triple Gang set his sights on Hongxing, wanting to take over the casinos in Hongxing's hands and then make a breakthrough on the Australian island.

However, the appearance of Ding Yao not only caused Lei Gong's plan to fail, but also cost him his life. In the final conflict with Hongxing, the Triple Gang suffered heavy losses.

Having hit a snag on Macau Island, the forces on Taiwan Island didn't abandon their original plan. They simply switched the executioners from the Triple Alliance Gang to the Four Seas Gang. Their target also shifted from Macau Island to Las Vegas. After all, both sides had casinos large enough for money laundering there...

These forces in Taiwan have acquired shares in many casinos in Las Vegas, and Jiang Shanhe is just the manager who was pushed forward in public.

This Supreme Gambling King Competition actually had little to do with the behind-the-scenes forces in Taiwan. It was simply Jiang Shanhe's own aggrandizement, his desire for greater fame and greater benefits. Since Rosen was already a big name in Las Vegas, Jiang Shanhe approached him, hoping to use him to gain power.

The forces behind the scenes in Taiwan were happy to see Jiang Shanhe's actions, so they did not stop him, but they also did not support him openly. After all, the mafia over there was not easy to deal with, so they just gave Jiang Shanhe some help in secret.

Since these behind-the-scenes forces in Taiwan have not come forward, the people behind Rosen will naturally not come forward either. They can only give Rosen some help secretly.

In reality, this was just a clash between Luo Sen and Jiang Shanhe. As for the people on both the Thai and Xiao Rizi sides, they were merely Jiang Shanhe's friends, people Jiang Shanhe had bribed to help them with benefits. Even if certain forces were involved, they were hiding behind the scenes and would not stand in the spotlight.
