Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 256 "256" Turns Against He Xin
After arriving in Macau, Lin Yao had no time to spend with his two women.

After all, as a big boss, he has many people who eat with him.

As soon as Lin Yao disembarked, Xu Youcai sent a car to pick him up and take him directly to the Twins Hotel.

There were quite a few customers in the casino, and Lin Yao even spotted several gamblers who frequented the basement of the Robinson Hotel.

However, the number of people was not as many as Lin Yao had expected.

Xu Youcai explained from the side, "Two weeks ago, our casino was packed!"

"The VIP lounge is almost always full of guests every day!"

"There are even people who come here specifically to set up private poker games, and they play for huge stakes! We take a lot of the payout!"

"But ever since several travel companies opened, our business has started to decline! Apart from our old customers who were used to our services, everyone else has gone to the new companies because they have lower commission rates!"

Lin Yao's expression was somewhat grim: "Have you investigated the backgrounds of these companies?"

Xu Youcai shook his head and said, "This isn't our place after all, so finding these things won't be easy!"

"And as you know, the entire Macau is actually controlled by the four major families, and they operate it like an iron barrel. We have absolutely no chance to do anything here!"

"Damn it!" Lin Yao said, quite annoyed. "They're sure we won't dare to turn against them!"

Xu Youcai gave a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid that's how it is!"

"Where's the Broken Tooth Giant? Isn't he going to handle this?" Lin Yao asked directly.

Xu Youcai shook his head: "I did manage it before, but then he got involved with these travel companies, so... it just fizzled out!"

"I suspect that these travel companies are a joint operation between Yu Lancan and Bengya Ju! They used our methods to try and kick us out of the game!"

"Recently, there have even been quite a few people harassing our customers around the casino. Chen Luojun has gotten into several fights with them!"

Lin Yao then remembered that he had thrown Chen Luojun into Haojiang.

I never expected that this kid would make a name for himself in Macau.

Now he's become the top enforcer in his own territory, and Lin Yao's men all like this kid quite a bit.

"Ha, you're crossing the river and then burning the bridge!" Lin Yao sneered. "Help me arrange a meeting with Mr. He. I want to see him in person!"

Xu Youcai nodded, but cautiously said to Lin Yao, "Ah Yao, I'm afraid Mr. He tacitly approved of this!"

Lin Yao said with a sneer, "I just want him to give me an answer!"

……

He Xin quickly agreed to the meeting and invited Lin Yao to his family's old house.

This was the first time Lin Yao had seen He Xin's ancestral home. It wasn't particularly grand, but it had a somewhat exotic feel.

But thinking about it, it's understandable, since He Xin himself is of mixed race, so this scene isn't surprising.

A butler came out and respectfully led the way for Lin Yao.

They led Lin Yao directly into the garden.

This was the first time Lin Yao had met He Xin.

"You must be A-Yao? Come and sit down!" He Xin greeted Lin Yao with a smile.

Lin Yao didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly in front of He Xin.

He Xin said with a smile, "I should have met with you when you came to Haojiang last time, but the timing wasn't right, I had something to do at the time."

“It’s not too late to meet now!” Lin Yao said with a smile. “I grew up listening to Mr. He’s legendary stories.”

He Xin laughed and said, "What kind of legendary story is that? It's not worth mentioning!"

Anyone who is flattered will be happy, even He Xin.

He Xin also flattered him directly, saying, "Ah Yao, your rise to wealth is something many people say they can't understand! If we're really talking about legends, you're the real legend!"

"I wouldn't dare compare myself to Mr. He!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, He Xin poured Lin Yao a cup of tea and said, "I know why you came here today, to interrogate me, right?"

"However, this matter is also difficult for me. After all, I rarely get involved in company affairs anymore. And the travel company incident was caused by Yu Lancan and his subordinates!"

"If I were to intervene and force them to stop, it would hurt a lot of people!"

Lin Yao's tone became less polite: "So you chose to hurt me?"

He Xin did not answer, but instead brought up another matter: "Macau has been quite turbulent in the past two years. As the time for the handover draws closer, many people are starting to get restless."

"As you know, the most important thing in our business is stability, otherwise no one will have anything to eat. What do you think?"

He Xin's words were a blatant threat.

Lin Yao's face immediately darkened: "Is Mr. He warning me?"    
"Oh, what warning!" He Xin waved his hand and said, "It's just a friendly reminder!"

Lin Yao finished his tea in one gulp, then stood up and said, "Although I, Lin Yao, am a novice, I have never been a pushover!"

"Since Mr. He has made his decision, then it's best we meet again someday! No one has ever been able to take advantage of me and get away unscathed!"

After saying that, Lin Yao left He Xin's garden without saying another word.

He Xin looked at Lin Yao's back and his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

……

After leaving the old house, Xu Youcai approached Lin Yao and asked, "Yao, what did Mr. He say?"

Lin Yao gritted his teeth and said, "You all think you've got me figured out! Don't forget, I'm the one who orchestrated this whole travel agency mess! Trying to pull this on me? You'll regret it!"

Lin Yao got into the car and said to Xu Youcai, "Help me find someone. This person should be easy to find!"

Xu Youcai asked, somewhat puzzled, "Who is it?"

Lin Yao sneered and said, "Ghost King 'Ye Han'!"

Xu Youcai was taken aback: "You mean Ye Han, the one Mr. He kicked out of the Portuguese Group? Mr. He probably wouldn't be satisfied with cooperating with him, right? Besides, Ye Han has long lost his ambition, so he probably won't cooperate with us!"

"Heh!" Lin Yao said with a sneer, "I just want to show him that I, Lin Yao, am not someone to be trifled with!"

"Just help me contact him, and I'll find a way to persuade him!"

Since He Xin has chosen to abandon his allies after using them, then don't blame Lin Yao for being ruthless and bringing out a powerful weapon ahead of time.

This powerful weapon was originally created by Ye Han; Lin Yao just created it a few years earlier.

This move caused He Xin immense pain.

Xu Youcai didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only inquire about Ye Han's whereabouts.

Back at the casino, Lin Yao, still furious, encountered an unexpected guy.

The other party blocked Lin Yao's way and began to introduce himself: "Mr. Lin, it's really not easy to see you. Let me introduce myself. I am Zhou Chaoxian, the leader of the Songlin Gang in Yizhou!"

“Mr. Zhou, I remember now!” Lin Yao immediately suppressed his anger and shook hands with Zhou Chaoxian: “I’m so sorry, I’ve been too busy lately. I had just caught my breath when I was brought to Macau again!”

Zhou Chaoxian said with a smile, "Mr. Lin's business is so big, I can understand!"

"However, I spoke with your sworn brother Jimmy before, and he said the order amount is too large and needs your personal confirmation, so I came to see you in person! I apologize for the abruptness!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Please come in. Xiao Fu, please prepare some whiskey and Havana cigars for me!"

After inviting Zhou Chaoxian to the casino's office, Lin Yao ordered his men to stand guard outside and not allow anyone else to enter.

The two drank some wine and smoked a cigar before starting to discuss business.

"Mr. Zhou, is the video game business in Yizhou really that good?" Lin Yao asked with some surprise.

Zhou Chaoxian said with a smile, "This thing is different from Hong Kong. It's not common in Yizhou, and there's no legislation about it there yet. I think we can do it!"

Lin Yao nodded: "The machine is fine, and I can supply the batch you requested. However, I might not have enough technical personnel on my side!"

Zhou Chao nodded and said directly to Lin Yao, "Mr. Lin, I can send someone over to provide training; only some basic repairs will be needed!"

“Since Mr. Zhou can provide manpower, that would be perfect!” Lin Yao then changed the subject and said to Zhou Chaoxian, “Mr. Zhou, what do you think of my casino?”

Zhou Chaoxian's expression was somewhat strange, not understanding why Lin Yao suddenly brought this up.

But he still honestly shared his feelings: "To be honest, Mr. Lin, the service at your casino is quite good, but the rake is a bit expensive!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "That's not a problem. The problem is whether Mr. Zhou is interested in getting involved?"

"Huh?" Zhou Chaoxian was somewhat surprised: "Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this!"

Generally speaking, casinos are the kind of business that absolutely hates anyone getting involved.

Because this is a sure-fire way to make money, why would I share my profits with others?

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, you misunderstand. It's not a casino, but a service business! I only have the operating rights to the casino, I can't share them with anyone else!"

"Service?" Zhou Chaoxian was a little confused. "Isn't it related to the casino?"

Lin Yao nodded and said, "To put it simply, I own a travel company!"

Lin Yao explained the operation of his travel company to Zhou Chaoxian.

Anyway, those two bastards, Yu Lancan and Bengya Ju, have already gotten things started, and the way this business operates will soon be known.

The term "dealer" actually appeared quite early, but it was Lin Yao who first proposed such a professional term.

The goal is to seize as much market share as possible.

Lin Yao approached Zhou Chaoxian because he saw the potential in the market of Yizhou!

There are quite a few wealthy people in Yizhou!
