Chapter 83

Macau.

A luxurious half-mountain villa.

A middle-aged man in a suit with extraordinary bearing listened to his underlings report intelligence.

The man is the Macau boss Gao Laosi (from the movie “Rich and Famous”), known in the underworld as “Fourth Brother”.

Gao Laosi has great power, controls many casinos, and is a top figure in Macau.

“So, can legal casinos be opened in Hong Kong too?”

Gao Laosi listened to his trusted right-hand man report on the Galaxy Casino in Hong Kong.

He then began to ponder.

"Who is behind the casino?" Gao Laosi asked.

"The Ni family of Tsim Sha Tsui."

The confidant said.

Gao Laosi nodded and said: "If I remember correctly, the Ni family is currently headed by Ni Kun's eldest son, Ni Yongyao?"

"That's right, Fourth Brother. It's Ni Yongyao. After that kid took over the Ni family, their influence has grown larger and larger. I didn't expect them to even open a casino now. I really don't know what method he used."

The confidant said.

"The method Ni Yongyao used is not important; what's important is that this is an opportunity."

Gao Laosi tapped his fingers on the table and said.

In Aodao, Gao Laosi was already the sole dominant power, and it was difficult to increase his strength further; after all, Aodao was only so big, and the cake was only so small.

And Hong Kong, not far away, had always been a market Gao Laosi wanted to intervene in.

It was a pity that before this, Hong Kong law strictly prohibited operating casinos, which gave Gao Laosi a headache; he had pulled many strings but failed to clear the way.

Now that the Ni family's Galaxy Casino had opened, Gao Laosi saw an opportunity to enter the Hong Kong market.

"Contact Ni Yongyao immediately; I want to talk to him."

Gao Laosi ordered.

"Yes, Fourth Brother."

The confidant nodded, then picked up the phone and dialed a string of numbers.

……

Ni family manor.

"Gold coins +5!"

"Gold coins +1!"

"Gold coins +1!"

"Gold coins +1!"

Ni Yongyao received four system notifications and knew that Lin Kun's white goods processing plant was finished.

And from this moment on, Ji Shaoqun would also be completely bound to the Ni family.

Even if Ji Shaoqun climbed to a higher position later, he would have no way to turn against the Ni family.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Ni Yongyao's mouth.

"What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?"

Haitang wrapped her arms around Ni Yongyao's neck from behind, rested her delicate chin on Ni Yongyao's shoulder, and leaned her whole body against Ni Yongyao's back.

After spending some time together, Haitang had become completely familiar with Ni Yongyao.

If one didn't know the inside story, they would think the two were a real couple.

"Just a small matter."

Ni Yongyao said, reaching back and pulling Haitang into his arms.

Just as Ni Yongyao intended to fondle Haitang, the ringtone of his mobile phone suddenly beeped.

Ni Yongyao frowned slightly, but still picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"387, who is this?"

Ni Yongyao said.

"Is this Mr. Ni? Hahaha, I am Gao Laosi from Aodao. I am a few years older than you, so you can call me Fourth Brother."

Gao Laosi's voice came through the speaker.

"Gao Laosi? If you have something to say, feel free to speak directly."

Ni Yongyao said indifferently.

"Since Mr. Ni is straightforward, I won't hide anything."

Gao Laosi's tone didn't change in the slightest as he continued: "I heard you opened a casino and even got a legal license. I wonder if that's true?"

"Why, do you want a piece of the action too?"

Ni Yongyao said, knowing full well the purpose of Gao Laosi's call.

"Mr. Ni, you know that there are countless casinos in Aodao; in this regard, I am a professional. Why don't we cooperate to expand the Hong Kong market? Sharing the cake together will be much more than you guarding a single casino right now."

Gao Laosi said.

"Tell me your conditions."

Ni Yongyao did not refuse directly.

Hearing this, Gao Laosi realized there was a chance and hurriedly said: "You only need to handle the casino license; leave the rest to me. I will cover the venue, personnel, operations, and all other aspects."

"According to you, after we cooperate, I can just lie back and count money?"

Ni Yongyao said.

"That's not a problem. In short, cooperation is good for you, good for me, and good for everyone. Let's develop the market and make a lot of money together."

Gao Laosi said.

"I have no objection to cooperation. As for the profits, I think a 30-70 split would be fine."

Ni Yongyao said.

"30-70 split?"

Gao Laosi was very excited. He had been fighting in the underworld for so many years and had never seen anyone as willing to concede profits as Ni Yongyao.

If he weren't in Aodao, Gao Laosi would have wanted to give Ni Yongyao a thumbs up.

Gao Laosi laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Mr. Ni is truly reasonable, but taking only 30% is too little. 35% would be about right..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Ni Yongyao.

"Gao Laosi, who told you I was only taking 30%? 30% is for you."

Ni Yongyao said indifferently.

Once these words were spoken, Gao Laosi fell silent immediately.

Gao Laosi even suspected he had misheard. So he was busy running around, handling everything, and in the end, he could only get 30%? Whether he could even break even was a question!

"Ni Yongyao, don't you think 30% is too much?"

Gao Laosi suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

"30% is very reasonable. Right now, you are the one begging me to cooperate."

Ni Yongyao said, still unhurried.

Ni Yongyao didn't take this cooperation to heart; if it worked out, that was fine, and if it didn't, it didn't matter.

"Ni Yongyao, I don't think you understand my, Gao Laosi's (caad), temper. Let me tell you..."

Gao Laosi could no longer suppress his rage.

But just halfway through this sentence, a busy signal sounded on the phone; it was clearly Ni Yongyao who had hung up.

"Damn you, Ni Yongyao!"

Gao Laosi slammed the receiver onto the landline, venting his anger.

Ever since he became the sole power in Aodao, Gao Laosi hadn't been this angry in a long time.

"Fourth Brother, do you want me to take some men to Hong Kong and teach Ni Yongyao a lesson?"

The confidant asked.

"No need for that."

Gao Laosi waved his hand, calmed down, and said: "Instead of doing it myself, I have a better idea."

Gao Laosi then dialed another number.

"Lei Gong, long time no see. What business have you been busy with lately?"

Gao Laosi said.

On the other end of the phone was Lei Gong, the leader of the Wandao Sanlian Gang.

"Fourth Brother, what made you think of calling me?"

Lei Gong said.

Although Lei Gong was much older than Gao Laosi, Gao Laosi's influence was greater, so he still had to address him as Fourth Brother.

"You've always wanted to get involved in the casino business, right? Now there's an opportunity, and I'm notifying you first."

Gao Laosi said.
