Chapter 644: Gambling King Ye

The addition of three new comics to the "Kirin Weekly" on September 6th is a top priority in the minds of comic fans, but in the entire Hong Kong and Macau region, the protagonist of this day is someone else.

The protagonist of this day is the Ommen Jockey Club in Ommen.

The Omen Horse Racing Club is located on Taipa Island, where Omen is reclaimed from the sea. It covers an area of ​​more than 200,000 square meters. It is definitely a super-large scale in the tiny land of Omen.

The so-called horse racing event is completely different from horse racing. As the name suggests, it is a two-wheeled cart dragged by a driver driving a horse. It is not very popular in Asia, but it has a long history abroad.

Omen is originally the capital of gambling, so in addition to chess and card slot machines and so on, there are various gambling methods.

The Jockey Club was established by Yip Han, the founder and managing director of the former Australian Entertainment Group. After obtaining the franchise for 20 years, he started to build this venue in 1978. It took two years and a construction of 150 million Hong Kong dollars. Cost, finally got it built.

Speaking of the Ommon Jockey Club, it is undeniable that Ye Han was inspired by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, but the reason is that Ye Han failed to compete for power with Ho Hung-shen back then and sadly quit the Macau Entertainment Group.

Ye Han was not reconciled to such a failure, so he held his breath and wanted to show the brilliance of horse racing in Omen, and stand on a par with Xiangjiang Jockey Club.

The way he operates is similar to Xiangjiang horse racing, single win, first place, double win, three treasures, three consecutive rings, quadruple lottery...etc. There are many tricks, but for the people of Xiangjiang and Omen , that is all too familiar.

Since the horse racing event is a very novel thing, and Ye Han's reputation is also very large, and the Omen government endorses, the gambling is guaranteed, so on the day of the opening, more than 100,000 gamblers went to the game. The entire horse racing meeting was jam-packed, and the entrance fees alone cost hundreds of thousands!

Now after such a week, the gross profit of Ye Han's horse racing club is said to be as high as more than 30 million, which is really scary!

If he keeps making money at this rate, Ye Han will earn more than 1.5 billion a year!

But everyone also knows that during the opening period, everyone feels novelty and earns the most money. After everyone gets used to it, it should be a little more dull.

Even so, Ye Han is full of confidence in the future. He declares that he will increase investment in the next few years, invite more overseas tourists to participate in this interesting game, and actively increase the number of horse racing games. Its entertainment makes it truly become another pillar of the Omen gaming industry.

According to the gossip, seeing Ye Han's success, gambling king Ho Hung-shen was very unhappy, and he scolded the management of the Australian Entertainment Group all over the past few days.

Just when everyone was guessing whether it would take five or ten years for Ye Han to catch up with the Xiangjiang Jockey Club, Yin Jun was not interested in such news at all.

Ye Han is indeed a gambling genius. From childhood to adulthood, even after he retired to Las Vegas in the 1990s, he made a lot of money at the gambling table.

But he is far behind He Hongshen in terms of running the company.

Horse racing is simply an incomprehensible way of gambling. It is cumbersome, cumbersome, and not exciting. It does not conform to the gambling concept of the Orientals. It is better to directly establish an Omen Jockey Club.

After one or two years of initial prosperity, the Jockey Club gradually fell into trouble. In 1988, it suffered a huge loss of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in 8 years, which made Ye Han I famous.

Tell me, what interest can Yin Jun have in such a thing that is doomed to fail?

So even if Zheng Yutong invited Yin Jun to attend the opening ceremony, Yin Jun did not go.

Speaking of which, Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen are old friends for many years, and they have a good relationship with Ye Han, otherwise, after two years, he would not be able to get the 13% shares of Aoyu Group held by Ye Han.

Whether Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen plotted against Ye Han for the shares of the Australian Entertainment Group, Yin Jun didn't know.

But the young man also knew that eight years later, when Ye Han had no choice but to sell the Olympian Carriage Club, He Gambler was so excited that he held a banquet for a few days, but he was too happy too early.

After Ye Han sold the equity property of the Jockey Club to a treasure island businessman for 440 million Hong Kong dollars, he directly bought a high seas gambling boat, which caused a sharp setback to the Australian Entertainment Group. Ye Han, a generation of genius gambling king, finally gave him A good friend slapped me in the face.

A year later, Ye Han sold his glorious gambling boat and officially retired.

At a time when making money was as easy as drinking water, he resolutely sold the gambling boat, which showed that Ye Han did not want to make money at all, but purely for retaliation for He Hongshen's suppression of him.

Yin Jun also admires Ye Han's vengeful and free-spirited character.

This God of Gamblers is different from He Hongshen. He Hongshen is a hypocrite, but Ye Han is a real villain.

If there is a deal, Yin Jun would rather deal with Ye Han than He Hongshen. ——It goes without saying that he is cruel to his business partners, but he can oppress, exploit, threaten, and steal from his own sister, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It just so happened.

That day, Mr. Huo invited Yin Jun over for dinner, and the young man saw Ye Han, who is now so beautiful, at the table.

Ye Han, 76 years old, is a little skinny, but full of energy, with piercing eyes, loud voice, and bright eyebrows. Several guests are surrounded by him.

Huo Yingdong also smiled and listened to him talking about the grand occasion of the horse race, but he was not as enthusiastic as those few.

Seeing Yin Jun approaching, Huo Yingdong raised his hand and interrupted Ye Han, "Brother Han, let me introduce you to a young talent."

"Oh, no need." Ye Han stood up and said with a smile, "This is the rare genius in Xiangjiang—Yin Jun, Young Master Jun, right?"

"Ye Dong is too polite, you can just call me Ah Jun." Yin Jun shook hands with him.

Recently, Xiangjiang's TV stations have often broadcast Ye Han's interviews, and it is difficult not to know him.

"Hehe, then you are welcome, Jun, just call me Hanbo." Ye Han shrugged, "Of course, at my age, I am more than enough to be your grandfather. Only when I see you, I feel that I am real old!"

"Han Bo, you are always strong and strong, and it will not be a problem to fight for more than ten years." Yin Jun praised him before finding a seat to sit down.

Ye Han was very interested in Yin Jun, so he ignored a few acquaintances next to him, sat beside Yin Jun and chatted with him about TV dramas.

Although Ye Han has never invested in the TV and film industry, Yin Jun has written two TV dramas about gambling, "The King of Thousand Kings" and "The Winner Is King".

The depiction of gambling in the two TV dramas is very vivid, even exaggerated. Even Ye Han watched it with great interest, so he felt that Yin Jun should be very interested in gambling, and the two should have something in common. hobby.

That's it, during the meal, Ye Han was discussing the types and schools of gambling, as well as some techniques, which was completely overwhelming and stole Mr. Huo's limelight.

But Huo Yingdong didn't care.

It should be said that for a person of his age and experience, Chengfu is not so shallow.

What's more, Huo Yingdong and Ye Han are old friends. When the Australian Entertainment Group was founded, he, He Hongshen and Ye Han founded it together. If there is no friendship, how could Ye Han participate in the Australian Entertainment Group invested by Huo Yingdong? go inside?

In fact, Yin Jun also knew that over the years, Huo Yingdong had been very displeased with Ho Hongshen's affairs in the Australian Entertainment Group, and had some sympathy for Ye Han who was pushed out.

In 1988, Ye Han was forced to sell his shares in the Omen Jockey Club. Why did he take the gambling boat out on the high seas so quickly?

There is no support from people with great background and ability, can He Hongshen let him go?

The guests present, except for Yin Jun, according to Huo Yingdong's introduction, were all subordinates of his Huo Xingyetang, so only Yin Jun and Ye Han belonged to outsiders.

And after eating, Huo Yingdong asked them to go back first, and invited Yin Jun and Ye Han to sit in his study alone, Yin Jun was a little bit more aware, I am afraid that today's dinner is not that simple.

Entering the study, a servant brought over the tea.

Huo Yingdong's study room is very big, and the sofa is also very comfortable, sitting on it is a very good way to rest.

After a few gossips, Huo Yingdong brought the topic to the main topic.

"Ah Jun, I invited you over today. I actually want to trouble you with something. I want to hear your opinion." Huo Yingdong pointed at Ye Han and said, "Brother Han's newly opened Olympian Horse Racing Club is making a lot of money every day. , the flow of people is like weaving, what do you think of this emerging industry?"

"Me?" Yin Jun was stunned for a while, "How did I know about horse racing? If Hanbo hadn't started this industry, I wouldn't even know there is such a gambling project."

Ye Han opened his mouth and wanted to speak, Huo Yingdong raised his hand to stop him, looked straight at Yin Jun and said, "A Jun, of course I know you don't understand the gaming industry, but I think you are a genius and a very thoughtful person .Now I just want to hear your opinions on the Jockey Club, maybe you will find something new if you look at it from another angle?"

After a pause, he continued, "You don't have to have any scruples. No matter what you say, Brother Han will only be grateful and won't blame you."

Hearing Huo Yingdong's words, Ye Han's mouth was closed, and he looked at Yin Jun with great interest.

It seems that if you don't come up with some dry goods, you don't even think about passing the test today.

Yin Jun nodded, "I don't know anything about specific gaming operations, but I have some doubts about this horse racing meeting.... Is it too far from downtown Omen?"

The urban area of ​​Omen is actually just a street, with a radius of only a few square kilometers, which is very narrow.

But there are more than 400,000 people living here, which can be described as the most fertile place in Omen.

The Lisboa Casino is at the beginning of this street. Five or six minutes' drive away, it is at the junction with Zhuhai.

But Taipa Island is different. It belongs to the newly reclaimed land area. It takes 30 minutes to drive to downtown Omen, and it is not near the airport and port!

In this way, even Omen people feel that it is far away, let alone tourists from Xiangjiang and Baodao.

Ye Han was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "We have shuttle buses at the port, airport and customs. As long as it is on the race day, it is free to go to and from the horse race."

"I think the distance of 30 minutes may not seem far to you, but in many people's minds, it is actually a bit boring and long." Yin Jun said, "For example, Lisboa is next to the bustling city of Omen. In the center, you can watch movies, eat, stay in a hotel, and go to the Ruins of St. Paul's. Everyone is tired from gambling, and they can relax everywhere. There are good facilities.

But what about the horse racing meeting? Apart from this simple horse racing, there should be no other commercial and entertainment facilities, right? For example, we Xiangjiang people have worked so hard to take a one- or two-hour boat ride from Xiangjiang to Omen, and then take another half hour to go to the horse racing meeting. Is everyone's enthusiasm still that high?

Our Hong Kong horse races are not like this. Around the Happy Valley Racecourse, there are bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and high-end shopping malls everywhere. These are enough for foreign tourists to try their luck and come out to relax. What a great place! Even if the tourists didn't intend to go to the racecourse originally, their willingness to come here and drop by is very strong. "

Hearing Yin Jun's analysis, Ye Han's face turned serious, and even Huo Yingdong frowned.

"Ah Jun, how do you think we should improve? How can we attract them for a long time? Keep them?" Ye Han pondered for a while and asked solemnly.

"If we can build a super large resort that combines hotels, entertainment, shopping, and casinos next to it, it should be able to complement each other and reflect each other." Yin Jun said lightly, "However, this seems impossible, right? The casino license is only Aoyu Group has one."

Ye Han nodded and then shook his head again, "Although the Australian Entertainment Group is the holder of the gambling license, they are not limited to building only one casino, and they can still build several. Otherwise, how could there be only one casino in a place as big as Omen ? The Omen government won’t agree either!”

"Pity."

Huo Yingdong sighed at this time, "The method Ah Jun said is equivalent to building an all-round gold sales cave. If it is really done, it will definitely bring a lot of gamblers to the horse racing club, and the resort itself The attraction is enough!"

Including Yin Jun, all three of them knew that He Hongshen would never allow Ye Han to start anew and open a casino.

Even if Ye Han owns 13% of the shares, Huo Yingdong also owns about 28% of the shares, which is more than him together, but Ho Hongshen's influence in the Aomen government is not comparable to that of the two of them combined. Even if you have shares, it doesn’t work.

"Without a casino, just opening a resort is not enough charm." Ye Han also echoed, "Ah Dong, you really have a better vision than me, knowing that Ah Jun will have a good opinion, it really awakens the dream with one word Middleman!"

Although Yin Jun's method didn't come in handy, Ye Han looked at Yin Jun again.

If Yin Jun hadn't pointed out this problem, Ye Han really wouldn't have noticed it, at least not when he was so prosperous now.

Now that Ye Han has been reminded, then he will make some targeted changes to the horse racing club, instead of waiting until the recession to make up for it.

Putting this question aside for the time being, Ye Han said hopefully again: "Apart from this, do you have any other options?"

"There are still some ideas, but it's a bit unrefined." Yin Jun nodded, "It's just a horse racing betting method, it's still a little thin. If Hanbo, you can train a group of female knights and let them wear x Is it a gimmick to play in sexy costumes? Another example is that at the end of each game, a few or a dozen lucky people will be drawn according to the ticket number, and they will be rewarded with watches and cameras , Hands...brand-name leather bags, etc., will this increase everyone's enthusiasm for coming?"

Ye Han nodded again and again, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Faced with these ideas that are easy to come up with in the Internet age, Ye Han, who knew nothing about it 40 years ago, has lagged behind several times in his ideas and knowledge.

"All in all, all the means are for tourists to come to the Jockey Club to spend and gamble better." Yin Jun said, "My own ideas are very limited. After returning, Hanbo, you will brainstorm a lot, and I believe you will be able to get it." There are many good ways!"

"No, no, your thoughts alone are equivalent to the wisdom of a hundred people!" Ye Han gave Yin Jun a thumbs up and said excitedly, "At first, your words made me feel that there was a lot of crisis, but now After listening to your suggestion, I think that the horse racing club will definitely get better! As long as we make it more interesting and indispensable than ordinary gambling, it will be enough!"

Seeing Ye Han's opening, Yin Jun also nodded.

Ye Han, a gambler at such an age, can still listen to a young man's advice. This kind of heart and thinking is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Speaking of which, Ah Jun's advice and suggestions should be worth a thousand dollars, right?" Huo Yingdong said jokingly at this time, "Brother Han, you will do well in the future, but you must thank Ah Jun well."

"That is!"

Ye Han nodded heavily, and said to Yin Jun: "Don't worry, Ah Jun, even if you don't succeed, Han Bo, I will remember your favor!"

"Han Bo is being polite, it's just talking, it's not worth mentioning." Yin Jun smiled and said modestly, "Actually, you should thank Mr. Huo, if he hadn't facilitated our dinner, then I wouldn't be able to help you."

"Hahaha……"

Ye Han laughed heartily. He admired Yin Jun's modest character without taking credit for himself.

If it weren't for Yin Jun's net worth being richer than him, he would have wanted to poach Yin Jun to help him.
