Chapter 215: Not returning courtesy is not polite

~13 min read 2,576 words

Hong Hing's gambling hall operating rights in Macau will likely not be renewed.

Obviously, this is Macau's retaliatory means.

Wu Feng returned to Hong Kong and came to the main hall for the first time.

The people were not all there, but a group of district spokespersons had already started talking noisily.

"This matter is a bit sudden, wasn't it operating quite well before?"

"We slapped others in the face, others will naturally retaliate, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"Is this wanting to completely turn against Hong Hing? Should we go over again to show our muscles?"

"Is there any room for maneuver? Macau is not easy to provoke!"

"..."

"Feng Zai is here, what do you think about this matter?"

Seeing Wu Feng, Jing Kun, who had arrived early, waved: "This matter is too sudden, and I don't know what Macau is thinking?"

"People are Macau heroes after all, so they naturally won't suffer losses easily!"

Wu Feng sat down and chuckled: "I reckon Hong Hing, people didn't take it to heart!"

"Hehe..."

A wicked smile appeared on Jing Kun's face, and he said softly: "The matter you said before can be started!"

"Look at what Jiang Tiansheng says, I don't care!"

Wu Feng chuckled: "Not returning courtesy is not polite, there is nothing to say!"

Soon, Jiang Tiansheng brought Chen Yao over, exchanged pleasantries, and went straight to the topic: "Everyone knows about the matter, news came from Macau, they want the leadership of the 'Unlimited Fighting Tournament'!"

As soon as this was said, the originally noisy large conference room fell silent.

The eyes of all the district spokespersons present looked at Wu Feng.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Wu Feng said unhappily: "Can this matter be agreed to casually?"

"The 'Unlimited Fighting Tournament' has become the signboard program of Asia Television, involving interests of over 100 million, and it will only be more in the future!"

"Of course, I did take the big head of the money earned by the 'Unlimited Fighting Tournament'!"

"However, the Red Poles of our Hong Hing branches, as well as the fighters with extraordinary strength, can also become famous through the 'Unlimited Fighting Tournament'. They can also earn a good sum!"

"What I'm worried about is, if that side also takes a fancy to the beauty pageant, should we let it out too?"

"After all, selecting beauties can also be manipulated secretly!"

Speaking of this, he chuckled: "Anyway, I won't back down. At worst, we'll see real chapters in our hands!"

"That person is thinking about the good things in my hands, and I can also make his gambling hall unable to open!"

These words seemed to be a joke, but they made the district spokespersons present look stern, carefully pondering Wu Feng's real intention?

"A Feng, rest assured, the society will definitely not let go!"

Jiang Tiansheng comforted: "Does our Hong Hing have no face? If the other side scares us, we will bow our heads and admit defeat?"

"What will other societies think if they know? Will they think Hong Hing is weak and easy to bully?"

"It seems that the society can only abandon the gambling hall in Macau!"

When saying this, there was no heartache on Jiang Tiansheng's face, as if he didn't care about such things.

In fact, he really didn't care much.

Because there was already a countermeasure, just to see the reaction of the district spokespersons.

The result was quite satisfactory!

Jige and a few other district spokespersons might not agree, but they didn't mean to let Wu Feng take the initiative to back down.

Are you kidding, this matter concerns the face of the society.

For this Sai Kung branch master Wu Feng, the district spokespersons present were also quite wary.

Don't look at Wu Feng being quite low-key on the surface, but no one dares to underestimate his strength.

In the entire Hong Hing, the branch that manages the territory best is the Xigang branch, none of them.

Wu Feng's surface industry is quite huge, and he has public opinion mouthpieces like Asia Television in his hands.

The three big bosses under his command, each of them has extraordinary strength.

I heard, just heard, if Wu Feng mobilizes, he can mobilize at least four thousand underlings!

The most exaggerated thing is that at least one-third of them are fighters who dare to fight and fight!

Not to mention, Wu Feng is also a Sai Kung district councilor!

No one can figure out how many white-way resources he can mobilize!

"Mr. Jiang, we don't need to talk nonsense!"

At this time, Jing Kun said impatiently: "Since people have made a move, we must strike back hard!"

"The matter of the gambling ship we talked about before, should be able to start now!"

"I also think it can be started, A Feng, what do you think?"

Jiang Tiansheng nodded slightly and looked at Wu Feng for consultation: "Our Hong Hing is not a vegetarian either!"

This, this, this, what is going on?

The other district spokespersons were confused, but at this time they were full of shock.

Are Jiang Tiansheng and Jing Kun's guts too big?

Once they involve gambling ship affairs, they will completely tear their faces with Macau, and there is no room for maneuver.

Of course, if they can really manage it well, they really don't need to bird Macau!

It's just that with Macau's temper, it obviously won't let it go easily!

"Then start it!"

Wu Feng sneered: "If you are not at ease, then pull more local forces to participate!"

"The Hong Hing brothers present, if you are not afraid of Macau looking for trouble, you can all participate!"

"In addition, I have other means here, which are enough to make the gambling hall in Macau drink a pot. Do you really think it's amazing to have a gambling license in hand!"

After speaking, his eyes met with Jiang Tiansheng, Han Bin, and Jing Kun, all showing smiles that were difficult to understand, but there was no timidity at all.

Their strength and status no longer allow them to bow their heads when facing Macau.

"Then it's settled!"

Jiang Tiansheng made a final decision, and Wu Feng didn't stay in the main hall for long, greeting Jing Kun to leave at the same time.

After they left, the other district spokespersons were full of curiosity and inquired about the situation from Jiang Tiansheng.

After they knew the inside story, everyone's eyes were shining with excitement.

At this time, Jiang Tiansheng naturally wouldn't hide anything.

Hong Hing can completely unite with powerful figures in various parts of Southeast Asia to set up a gambling ship in the waters where their national waters and the high seas intersect.

There are not a few countries with coastlines in Southeast Asia, just choose one with a certain population scale to cooperate.

No matter how much energy Macau has, its arms can't reach the Southeast Asian coastal countries.

Unless, privately possessing powerful security forces, it is possible to overturn all the gambling ships that threaten the Macau gambling industry, and force Hong Hing to bow its head and admit defeat.

But the Hong Hing district spokespersons were full of excitement at this time, where would they care about danger or not?

As long as they can get involved, won't money roll in in the future?

The entire Hong Hing operated quietly.

The matter of the gambling ship can't be done for a while, after all, this thing is not ready-made.

Even if purchasing a passenger ship, it has to go through meticulous internal renovation, otherwise how can it act as a gambling ship?

In addition, one must also guard against Macau getting wind of the news and nipping the danger in the bud ahead of time.

Furthermore, negotiating with the powerful factions in the chosen Southeast Asian countries is not an easy or simple task; it is unlikely to reach an agreement in a short period of time.

But suddenly, quite a few 'slot machines' appeared all over Hong Kong!

Among them were Apple machines, as well as coin-operated machines created based on the story of Journey to the West and various well-known comic characters.

In addition, there were also mahjong machines, three-seven fruit scoring machines, and other arcade games with gambling characteristics that suddenly appeared in the game halls.

No need to doubt it, these were naturally all Wu Feng's handiwork!

Damn it, isn't Macau very arrogant? I will use various gambling methods to divert the customers heading to Macau casinos and see if you are still arrogant then.

Don't look down on these electronic gambling methods just because they are simple; they absolutely attract those amateur gamblers.

Originally, Wu Feng didn't want to bring these things out so early.

After all, gambling is indeed not a proper trade, and he wasn't too willing to get his hands dirty.

But this time, wasn't he messed with by someone?

Still the same saying, it is impolite not to reciprocate!

Once these arcade machines with gambling characteristics were launched, they immediately ignited the markets in both Hong Kong and Macau.

Large-scale gatherings are unlikely; that would be a small-scale arcade casino.

But putting three or five machines in every game hall is definitely no problem.

The key is that this stuff is fine even if placed in a nightclub; there's nothing wrong with casually installing one or two machines.

The shipment volume was absolutely exaggerated to the extreme!

In short, the arcade machine factory over in Pengcheng was running at full capacity with three shifts, while also continuing to expand production and increase the scale of production; it was just that exaggerated.

Then there was Taiwan and Southeast Asia, subsequently spreading to Japan and South Korea, all of which sent massive orders.

Seeing all this, Wu Feng was very speechless!

The arcade games he brought out before had a hard time trying to enter the Japanese and Korean markets.

But who would have thought that these kinds of gambling arcade machines would achieve the goal so easily!

Since he had already started, Wu Feng naturally had no intention of letting go easily.

Not only Asia, but Europe and America cannot be easily let off either, and he must increase the intensity of the delivery.

For this reason, Lin Dashao once again took the field personally, wanting to promote these newly developed gambling-style game machines to the European and American markets; the sales volume definitely wouldn't be bad.

Now, Macau was completely bewildered.

Especially when he learned that his casino business had been significantly affected following the rampant spread of those gambling-style game machines, he was so angry that he directly smashed his wine glass.

"You bastard, what is Hong Hing trying to do?"

At this moment, although he was angry, he wasn't yet completely broken.

"It's likely regarding the renewal of the casino operating rights!"

The assistant spoke with some trepidation: "It's just that I didn't expect electronic game machines to be able to partially replace the role of the casino halls, which is why the casino business has been affected!"

"Hmph, is there any way to completely ban these things?"

He said directly: "Pass a message to Jiang Tiansheng of Hong Hing, tell him to watch himself!"

The assistant nodded in agreement but did not continue to express an opinion.

He felt the matter was very difficult to handle!

With their influence, it might be possible to put an end to these gambling-style electronic game machines in Macau, but it wouldn't be possible in Hong Kong; their influence hadn't reached that level yet.

After receiving the call, Jiang Tiansheng did not directly counterattack forcefully, but just hummed and hawed to brush it off.

There is no turning back once the arrow is shot!

Since he had already decided to do certain things, and they were definitely going to be at odds with Macau in the future, what was there to hesitate about? It was just a matter of strengthening some security measures.

It's just that he also didn't expect Wu Feng to be so ruthless!

He directly brought out gambling-style electronic game machines, which likely already affected the business of Macau's casinos; this method is indeed powerful, one has to admire it.

It's a pity that gambling is banned in Hong Kong, otherwise, using gambling-style electronic game machines, one could really easily set up small-scale arcade casinos!

In fact, while Wu Feng was making a huge profit, he also felt the pressure.

Especially since Chairman Liao of the Yindu Institution called him over immediately to ask about the specific situation.

He didn't hide anything and explained the conflict with Macau clearly and explicitly.

Finally, he said: "I had no choice!"

"Macau actually set its sights on the 'Unlimited Fighting Tournament', wanting to use it as a major source of income for gambling; that is a tournament I spent so much effort to bring to its current level!"

"To be honest, if it follows the current development momentum, it could easily be managed into a fighting tournament with world-class influence in about ten years; how could I easily give it up?"

"Once this tournament has a close connection with Macau, I definitely don't look favorably upon what it could develop into in the future!"

"Now, they actually want to force me to submit through pressure within Hong Hing; it's simply wishful thinking!"

"If I hadn't really encountered trouble, I wouldn't have come up with those gambling-style electronic game machines!"

"Do you want me to ask someone to help mediate?"

Chairman Liao pondered for a long time before saying: "Enemies should be resolved, not knotted!"

"Then many thanks to Old Liao!"

Wu Feng thanked him first, then said: "In fact, I don't look favorably upon it; this is a dispute over interests on the scale of hundreds of millions, and that person won't give up easily!"

Upon hearing this, Chairman Liao didn't know what to say for a moment.

With his close relationship with Wu Feng, he naturally couldn't say anything that would ask Wu Feng to take the initiative to retreat.

If he really said it, he was afraid they wouldn't even be able to be friends in the future.

In fact, after knowing the inside story, he was also quite displeased with Macau's overbearing nature.

Based on his understanding of Wu Feng, he generally wouldn't easily make enemies; he had his own methods and channels for making money and didn't rely on Macau's casino halls to get rich.

If Macau really had ideas, they could have just followed suit and set up a fighting tournament themselves.

With his financial strength, it wouldn't be difficult to achieve that.

Yet they just had to set their sights on the business Wu Feng had created; did they really think Wu Feng was a soft persimmon that was easy to squeeze?

"I will ask someone to help pass the word, telling Macau not to do anything out of line!"

"The same goes for you; don't let direct conflicts occur again. Business competition is business competition; don't let it escalate to the point of a big fight!"

In fact, if they really started fighting, Chairman Liao didn't look favorably upon Macau.

If others didn't know, didn't he know the strength under Wu Feng's command?

Just the retired soldiers alone numbered five or six thousand working under him!
