Chapter 712 The Real Cause of the Gambling King’s Death
Recalling the past, Zhu Hongwu's eyes revealed a complicated expression.
"During that dark time, the hardships endured by the people of Daxia are unimaginable to your generation!"
"Fortunately, we made it through!"
"The Holy Island is Daxia's territory after all. How can we allow overseas capital to do whatever they want?"
So later, those overseas capitals fled.
Some domestic enterprises and aristocratic families that were suppressed by overseas capital took advantage of the situation and rose up to establish a new order on the Holy Island.
However, overseas capital is not willing to give up this big piece of cake.
They dare not do anything openly, but secretly they control some companies and support some spokespersons.
Using this covert method, he continued to reap wealth from Daxia.
They also said in a high-sounding manner that these were all normal business practices and the Daxia officials could not kill everyone with one blow.
"I, Zhu Hongwu, am quite resolute. I have never considered accepting support from overseas capital, and I am also trying to prevent them from infiltrating Shennong Pharmaceuticals."
"But some companies and families may not have my kind of backbone. They may look glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes they are always working as pawns for overseas tycoons!"
"Among these overseas chaebols, the most powerful is the Stonemasons' Union, also known as the Freemasons!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Hongwu was very disdainful.
He despises those spineless people who serve as dogs for overseas tycoons from the bottom of his heart!
It's ridiculous that those people are proud to join the Freemasons.
Little do they know that once they join the Freemasons, they become a dish on their table and will be devoured sooner or later!
"The Gambling King was one of the spokespeople chosen by overseas capital during that period!"
"He has an amazing talent for gambling and an outstanding business acumen. He really started from nothing and gradually made a name for himself."
"But later, with the support of overseas capital, he was able to rise and swallow up one casino after another!"
"Otherwise, do you think that a poor kid like him, who lived at the bottom of society, could become the gambling king of Holy Island and control over 90% of the casinos in just ten years?"
"Even if he really always wins at gambling, without sufficient background, he would have been dead on the streets long ago!"
From Zhu Hongwu's statement, Zhu Di gained a new understanding of the gambling king.
There is never a shortage of geniuses in this world.
Some people of the same period as the gambling king were better at gambling and had more business acumen than him. What was their final fate?
What really makes them worse than the gambling king is that they don’t have a strong enough background and backing!
"Holy Island is unique in that it's legally allowed to open casinos. This is one of the island's economic pillars! It's known as the island's treasure trove!"
"I wonder how many forces are drooling over this piece of fat meat!"
"It's no exaggeration to say that the gambling king faced hundreds of assassination attempts a year. During that period, he was at the center of public opinion and indeed encountered many dangers."
"But to say that the gambling king was ostracized by the local forces of Holy Island and the major families, and ultimately died at our hands, is complete nonsense!"
"Quite the opposite! The ones who truly wanted him dead, and who actually killed him, were the overseas investors behind him!"
Judy was most confused about this.
"Why is this happening? Grandpa, didn't you say that the gambling king is the spokesperson for overseas capital?"
"With the support of overseas capital, he defeated many forces, sat on the throne of gambling king, and controlled more than 90% of the casinos."
"The local forces on Holy Island must have long regarded him as a thorn in their side, right?"
"Even if you want to get rid of him, it's reasonable!"
"How could overseas investors, who had worked so hard to support him, cut off their own support?"
If the gambling king is really a spokesperson supported by overseas capital.
The vast majority of the profits from all the casinos on the Holy Island flowed into the pockets of overseas capital.
How could they do such a stupid thing as killing the chicken to get the eggs?
Zhu Hongwu sighed, "If the situation on Holy Island can remain the same and the gambling king's ambitions do not grow, they will indeed continue to collude with each other."
"But the problem is, as time went on, Daxia gradually eliminated the impact of the disaster, and its economy took off rapidly. Its overall strength also became increasingly powerful!"
"For example, the Martial Arts Association was unable to compete with the Guan Gong Association when it was first established. But later on, it gradually caught up with the Guan Gong Association, becoming equal to them, and even gradually brought the Guan Gong Association under its wing..."
The gambling king is very ambitious and far-sighted!
It is foreseeable that as Daxia's national strength recovers, even the practice of overseas capital supporting spokespersons will be stopped.
Continuing to follow overseas capital is definitely not a wise choice.
Moreover, the gambling king was unwilling to hand over more than 90% of his wealth to overseas capital.
After thinking for a long time, he came up with a new plan!
That is to use the power of the Martial Arts Association and the Guan Gong Association to completely break away from overseas capital and control all the casinos alone.
If he succeeds, he will become the real gambling king!
By then, he would only need to pay a maximum of 30% of the profits to the Martial Arts Association and the Guan Gong Association.
After making up his mind, the gambling king immediately took action.
Unfortunately, at that time, the Martial Arts Association was not strong enough and its influence on the Holy Island was limited.
Therefore, this matter is still led by the Guan Gong Association.
Because of some mistakes, at the critical moment, the gambling king died under the killing order of Qianji Pavilion!
His painstaking planning failed at the last moment, and the gambling king's family almost fell apart.
