Chapter 106 The Real Intention: Police Deployment
Currently, the casinos in Macau are dominated by three major players: New Macau, Galaxy, and Wynn.
Perhaps because Nie Aotian successfully separated from the family, others seemed to have some ideas as well.
In addition, Jiang Tiansheng's sudden joining the group has provoked reactions from some people.
The next day, Jiang Tiansheng arrived at the Xin'ao Group's headquarters in the conference room as agreed.
"Mr. Jiang, let me introduce myself to you."
Inside the meeting room, He Xin introduced the other shareholders to Jiang Tiansheng with a smile: "This is Mr. Li Yuan, the head of the Li family of Haojiang."
"This is Mr. He Cheng from the He family of Haojiang, this is Mr. Wang Zong from the Wang family, and this is Mr. Liu Hui from the Liu family."
"And this one, like you, Mr. Jiang, is from Hong Kong, Guo Yingnan."
After He Xin finished speaking, he introduced Jiang Tiansheng to the others: "This gentleman next to me is Mr. Jiang Tiansheng of Xinghe Group."
Here, He Xin did not mention the Hung Hing Society.
If Chiang Tien-sheng were merely the head of the Hung Hing triad, he wouldn't be qualified to sit here.
"Hello everyone."
Jiang Tiansheng greeted everyone with a smile.
In fact, Guo Yingnan and several other family members did not outwardly show any dissatisfaction.
Not to mention the ridiculous thing of him openly mocking him.
Those who can sit here all consider themselves upper class, and there are some things they would think but wouldn't say out loud, out of respect for their status.
"Last year...evening..."
Next, He Xin chaired the meeting and gave a presentation on the revenue and profits for the entire previous year.
"Last year, the group's total revenue was 685 billion, an increase of 30% compared to the previous year..." It can be said that the casino industry is growing almost every year.
As for how much growth there is, it also depends on the overall economic environment of that year.
"After deducting taxes and other expenses, the total profit is 467 billion."
Why are casinos so profitable?
The reason is here.
Revenue and profit were 467 billion, even after deducting all taxes and other expenses.
That's now.
In the next 20 years or so, half of the casino's revenue will be used to pay taxes.
Of the 467 billion yuan, Jiang Tiansheng ultimately received 70 billion yuan based on his shareholding.
It may not seem like much, but it's already Jiang Tiansheng's most profitable business.
So far.
As for Xinghe Group, Jiang Tiansheng will also hold a meeting in a few days to conduct a year-end summary.
There's even the New World Company.
The headquarters of New World Company is in the United States. Jiang Tiansheng is considering whether to go there himself or send a representative to go there.
After all, the events in Guam forced Jiang Tiansheng to consider whether he was at risk of being exposed.
He felt that he was absolutely fine, but what if he was?
"Since everyone is here today, I'd like to announce something to you all." He then publicly announced the appointment of Guo Yingnan as the general manager of Xin'ao Group.
The appointment was approved almost unanimously.
At the same time, several other appointments were also approved.
'How come this is completely different from what He Xin said?' Jiang Tiansheng glanced at He Xin.
Yesterday he told himself that there might be some unexpected changes at today's meeting.
But so far, nothing has changed.
Even if I weren't here today, He Xin would probably still have passed these resolutions unanimously, right?
Moreover, the meeting was about to end, and no one challenged him.
"Alright, does anyone have anything to say?" He Xin said with a smile, "If no one has anything to add, then this year's meeting is over."
Then, amidst everyone shaking their heads, He Xin announced the meeting was over.
"Mr. Jiang."
The meeting had just ended when the Li, He, Wang, and Liu families arrived together.
"Everyone, what are you doing?"
Jiang Tiansheng's heart skipped a beat: They've come? They've come to make things difficult for me?
"Mr. Jiang, do you have time to find a place to sit?" The group looked at Jiang Tiansheng and asked with a smile.
"Have time."
Jiang Tiansheng nodded.
He also wanted to see what their purpose was in seeking him out.
"You just watched your future son-in-law get close to those guys?" Guo Yingnan, seeing Jiang Tiansheng leave with them, couldn't help but ask the person beside her.
He Xin asked.
Given the relationship between He Xin and Guo Yingnan, He Tian'er and Jiang Tiansheng's affair would naturally not be kept secret.
"It doesn't matter."
He Xin shook his head slightly and said, "They're not looking for Ah Sheng because of the casino."
"Oh? You knew?"
Guo Yingnan looked at He Xin and asked curiously.
"know."
He Xin nodded, then said, "Originally, I also thought that they were looking for Ah Sheng because of the casino."
But later, I subtly inquired, and they told me they were looking for Ah Sheng because of Xinghewan.
"Star River Bay?"
Upon hearing these three words, Guo Yingnan frowned slightly and looked at He Xin.
"What? You're from Hong Kong, haven't you heard of Star River Bay?" He Xin looked at Guo Yingnan and asked with a smile.
"Of course I've heard of it."
As Guo Yingnan spoke, she continued, "The Xinghewan project is quite popular in Hong Kong right now, because this young man said he wanted to turn Xinghewan into the Wall Street of the East."
They know all too well what Wall Street is.
Don't be fooled by their success in Hong Kong and Macau; if you put them on Wall Street...
In the face of true financial tycoons, they are nothing, at least for now.
Therefore, one can imagine how influential Jiang Tiansheng's words would be.
At least now, when people mention Xinghewan, they will think of the phrase "Oriental Wall Street".
The prestige will be elevated first; as for what happens afterward, that depends on the project.
Whether Xinghewan will ultimately become a true Wall Street of the East or a joke depends on how Jiang Tiansheng operates.
"What, you don't think it's a good idea?"
He Xin looked at Guo Yingnan and asked in confusion.
Based on his understanding of Guo Yingnan, when he spoke like that, it meant he was definitely not optimistic about the project.
"I think it's unrealistic."
Guo Yingnan shook her head and then said, "He Xin, you should know that the real financial center of Hong Kong is now on the main island, in Victoria Harbour."
"What is Star River Bay? It used to be called Tsing Yi Island. To true Hong Kongers, that place is no different from the countryside, do you understand?"
According to Guo Yingnan, the true elites of Hong Kong look down on Star River Bay.
It's fair to say that in the eyes of many wealthy people in Hong Kong, anything outside of Hong Kong Island, such as the Kowloon Peninsula or the New Territories, is considered rural.
Outlying islands?
Sorry, but the outlying islands are even more rural.
It's like this: Shanghai's financial center is currently in the Lujiazui area, and then someone announces a project to build a new financial center on Chongming Island, which Shanghainese people find absurd.
Outsiders might think that there is indeed potential for development here.
But to the locals, it's a joke.
"not necessarily."
He Xin shook his head and looked at Guo Yingnan: "If it were anyone else, I also don't think they would succeed, but Jiang Tiansheng is no ordinary person."
He Xin didn't know much about Hong Kong, but he knew Jiang Tiansheng.
This guy is the type who won't act until he sees a clear benefit. Would he do a losing deal?
"Then you just wait and see."
Guo Yingnan shrugged, not bothering to explain; there was no need.
Facts will prove that Guo Yingnan was right; investing so much money in Xinghewan will definitely result in losses.
Of course, if you don't develop it into a financial center, but instead develop it into a residential area, Guo Yingnan might be interested in investing.
Indeed, as Guo Yingnan said, Jiang Tiansheng wasn't very confident at the beginning.
But it is different now.
The Xinghe Hospital alone would be enough to increase the success rate of his Xinghewan project by 50%, or even more.
Jiang Tiansheng had thought it through. Once the hospital opened, his first priority would definitely be to control the number of patients, which is what is known as scarcity marketing.
Of course, his scarcity marketing wasn't to promote the medicine, but to promote Xinghewan.
Jiang Tiansheng's idea was to first launch a scarcity marketing strategy, and then announce to the public that customers of Xinghewan would receive priority.
You should know that rich people are the most afraid of dying.
Even if you're not sick, you can still use him as a favor, which is a very worthwhile thing.
Xinghewan is controlled by Jiang Tiansheng himself, and he has the final say on which companies will be accepted to move in.
At that time, he will not allow any non-internationally renowned large companies to set up shop in Xinghe Plaza, and non-luxury brands will not be allowed to set up shop there.
In short, Jiang Tiansheng has only one goal: in the future, whenever anyone mentions Xinghewan, their first impression will be that it is synonymous with luxury, extravagance, and high-end.
"Mr. Jiang, please come in."
Li Yuan, He Cheng, Wang Zong, and Liu Hui, representing their respective families, invited Jiang Tiansheng to a bar.
They had already booked the entire place, so they wouldn't have to worry about anyone disturbing their business negotiations.
Unlike other bars, this is a casual bar.
People who come to places like this are usually so-called elites.
"Let's not beat around the bush. You all invited me here, so you must have something to say. Let's get straight to the point," Jiang Tiansheng said, looking at them.
"Then we'll tell you."
The four exchanged glances, then looked at Jiang Tiansheng and said, "We want the Xinghewan project."
Ultimately, Li Yuan from the Li family, as their representative, spoke out about their thoughts.
"You want to join the Star River Bay Project?" Jiang Tiansheng's heart stirred, and he looked at the four people and asked.
"Yes."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "We are very optimistic about Mr. Jiang's Xinghewan project, so we want to join in."
They sounded sincere, but no one could be sure they were telling the truth.
"I'm sorry, I need to think about this."
Jiang Tiansheng politely declined the offer from the four people.
Now, Jiang Tiansheng has two paths to choose from.
If we let them join, there will definitely be a large sum of money coming in, and then we can quickly develop the Xinghewan project.
This is an advantage, but it also has disadvantages. The disadvantage is that he will no longer be able to establish a one-man rule in Xinghewan.
The second option is for him to develop it gradually.
Although the timeline has been extended, it ensures that Xinghewan remains in our hands.
