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

Chapter 257 "257" Elder Ye, let's take another gamble?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chaoxian immediately became interested.

You should know that Zhou Chaoxian has been currying favor with a minister in the Yizhou government for years, and recently he has been making a fortune.

When you have too much money and nowhere to spend it, you start thinking about investing.

Lin Yao's invitation hit him right where it hurt.

He was certainly quite interested.

So I started chatting with Lin Yaoxiang.

He quickly figured out the logic behind this business and, after some thought, realized it was indeed feasible.

After all, Zhou Chaoxian knows quite a few wealthy people, so this business is definitely worth doing.

So he readily agreed: "I am naturally very interested in Mr. Lin's proposal to cooperate. In Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, who doesn't know how capable you are of making money, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Yao is practically a legend in the gang now.

They excelled in every industry they entered, and they made a lot of money in each one.

No one idolizes him anymore; they treat him as a legend.

Lin Yao chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you flatter me. How about we set up a tourism company in Haojiang and split the shares 50/50?"

Zhou Chaoxian smiled and said, "Of course, no problem!"

He originally came to discuss a video game business, but unexpectedly, he also gained business with a travel company, which made Zhou Chaoxian quite happy.

After finishing their work discussion, Zhou Chaoxian checked into the Twins Hotel, planning to have a proper talk with Lin Yao about the travel company the next day.

After a busy day, Lin Yao noticed that Le Huizhen and Fang Siwei returned looking unhappy.

Lin Yao asked with some curiosity, "What's wrong with you two?"

"I never expected that Long Wei would be this kind of person!" Le Huizhen said irritably.

Fang Siwei chimed in, "That's right, that's right!"

Lin Yao said with amusement, "What did you two see?"

"Didn't you go to some event with Longwei?"

Le Huizhen and Fang Siwei then told Lin Yao what they had seen.

It turns out that while attending a party, this kung fu superstar on the big screen was actually beaten up by a drunk ordinary person, and he kept begging for mercy.

I initially thought his persona was fake, but it turns out his kung fu was fake too.

This immediately disappointed many people with Longwei.

However, Longwei's agency is very capable; they immediately took action to manage the numerous reporters present.

The matter was quickly quelled.

Lin Yao asked with amusement, "Did you get paid?"

Fang Siwei was a little embarrassed: "I couldn't resist, I accepted it!"

"Why shouldn't we accept it? It's a lot of money!" Yue Huizhen chimed in.

"Besides, we're only keeping him out of the public eye out of respect for the organizers. Who knows what might happen in the future!"

"Two money-grubbers!" Lin Yao chuckled and flicked their noses, saying with a grin, "Since you've already taken the money, what are you complaining about!"

"Whatever makes you happy!" Lin Yao's eyes darted around, and he said to the two women, "Ladies, it's late, why don't we go and rest for a while?"

"No way!" Fang Siwei rolled her eyes.

Le Huizhen even gave Lin Yao the middle finger and said, "You still want to sleep with me? Keep dreaming!"

Then, Yue Huizhen grabbed Fang Siwei and ran away.

"I'll make you call me daddy sooner or later!" Lin Yao said harshly before heading to the rest area.

……

The next day, after Lin Yao and Zhou Chaoxian signed the contract, a tourism company was immediately put up for business.

This travel company specializes in catering to clients from Yizhou.

As long as Zhou Chaoxian introduces someone, the people here will handle the communication.

After the two parties finalized the cooperation model, Zhou Chaoxian placed another order with Lin Yao for a batch of fruit machines and some gambling machines before returning to Yizhou satisfied.

Just as Lin Yao had completed two big deals, Xu Youcai also received news.

They have already found out Ye Han's whereabouts.

Lin Yao didn't waste any time and immediately prepared to go and pay a visit.

This old man was badly screwed over by He Xin; he probably wouldn't even bother with most people.

After all, he had conflicts with He Xin for many years and was eventually kicked out of the Portuguese Group.

Later, he spent a billion to build the Haojiang Racecourse and made a high-stakes gamble with He Xin.

Then, losing everything, he sold the horse farm to people from Yizhou at a bargain price.

The series of setbacks almost drove the old man to depression.    
When Lin Yao finally found Ye Han, the old man, he discovered that the nearly ninety-year-old was still full of energy.

"So you're the 'Immortal Yao' from Hong Kong?" Ye Han looked Lin Yao up and down and said with a smile, "Young man, you do look quite spirited!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Elder Ye!" Lin Yao said with a smile as he sat down.

Ye Han, however, had a short temper and said directly to Lin Yao, "We don't have any relationship, so why did you come looking for me?"

Since Ye Han wasn't keeping him in suspense, Lin Yao immediately said, "Let's see if Elder Ye is interested in taking another gamble!"

"Hmm?" Ye Han frowned and asked, "What are we betting on?"

"It doesn't matter what you bet on, the most important thing is who you bet on!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

Ye Han immediately understood Lin Yao's meaning and asked with a hint of amusement, "What did that He Xin do to you? That he actually made a young talent like you want to join forces with an old man like me!"

"You used my stuff, so you want to kick me out!" Lin Yao said to Ye Han with a smile. "Aren't we alike, Old Ye!"

Although Ye Han is old, he is not completely ignorant.

He is quite familiar with the tourism companies that have recently emerged in Macau.

He then laughed and said, "So these travel companies are your idea! Young people are indeed quick-witted; after all these years of running a junket business, you've managed to make it a success!"

Lin Yao nodded: "Back then, in order to gain a foothold in Macau, I opened up this business to everyone through Broken Tooth Giant's introduction. Who knew that he didn't want to include me at all!"

Ye Han scoffed and said, "Isn't that obvious? To them, you're an outsider, so of course they'll kick you out first! I would have done the same!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "But I'm not reconciled. Are you reconciled, Elder Ye?"

Ye Han was naturally unwilling, but he also didn't trust Lin Yao.

So he said rather cautiously, "I've lost twice already, I definitely don't want to lose a third time!"

Lin Yao immediately laughed: "My idea won't lose, and even if we do lose, He Xin won't have an easy time!"

Seeing Lin Yao's confidence, Ye Han said with some surprise, "You're really that confident?"

"If I weren't confident, why would I dare to challenge He Xin?" Lin Yao said with a smile. "Now it all depends on whether you're interested, Elder Ye!"

Ye Han remained silent for a long time.

Just as Lin Yao said, he was indeed unwilling and couldn't swallow this insult.

So after a moment, he said to Lin Yao, "Tell me your thoughts!"

Seeing that Ye Han had agreed, Lin Yao immediately laughed: "Old Ye, you've been to quite a few casinos over the years, haven't you?"

Speaking of this, Ye Han said with considerable pride, "Of course, I'm always a VIP at any casino I go to!"

Ye Han wasn't bragging. When he was young, he relied on his self-taught skills to make a living in Macau. He caught the eye of Fu Laorong and earned the nickname "Ghost King Ye".

He was a top-notch gambler in his youth. After establishing the Portuguese Group with He Xin, he continued to visit casinos around the world to learn and leave his reputation everywhere.

This old guy certainly has reason to be proud.

Lin Yao nodded: "Then you must have seen quite a few people playing cards to pass the time on cruise ships, right?"

"Hmm?" Ye Han's eyes lit up immediately: "You mean..."

Lin Yao said with a smile, "That's exactly what I mean. Since casinos in Macau are subject to regulation, why don't we build a cruise ship and operate casinos there?"

"Anyway, it's international waters, and Macau can't do anything to us! Besides, a luxury cruise ship also has a lot of functions. If we do this, He Xin will probably be in a lot of trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Han burst into laughter: "Great, that's a good idea!"

"This young man is capable of starting from scratch; he's definitely not a simple person. He's got a sharp mind!"

Lin Yao's expression was a bit strange. Hearing the person who created the first gambling ship praise him like this, he didn't know why... but he actually felt a little good!

However, Lin Yao humbly said, "I can't compare to Elder Ye. Even without my reminder, Elder Ye would have realized this very quickly!"

"Then we'll sail the cruise ship to where those gamblers need it, pick them up, let them gamble wildly on the high seas for a few days, and then send them back. I think the gambling ship business shouldn't be too bad!"

Ye Han was so happy he almost jumped for joy, and his words became even more unrestrained: "It's not just not too bad, it's practically digging up He Xin's ancestral grave!"

"But do you have any targets in the cruise ship sector? That's no small sum!"

Ye Han had just lost some money, so he was naturally quite cautious.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "We already have a target. I think the Hailongxing ship from a company in Hong Kong is quite good and can help us achieve our goal. I plan to inquire about the price after I return to Hong Kong!"

"Then let's go ask about the price!" Ye Han wasn't in a hurry; this wasn't something that could be resolved in a short time.

Even after buying the cruise ship, it still needs to be decorated and renovated.

As for the issue of profit sharing, Ye Han did not mention it, saying that they would discuss it after the cruise ship was purchased.

Lin Yao meant the same thing: "I'll let you know when there's progress!"

Ye Han chuckled wickedly: "I bet the thing He Xin will regret most in the future is offending you, kid!"

Lin Yao spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. I just need him to feel the pain! Otherwise, everyone will think that I, Lin Yao, am someone who can be manipulated at will!"
