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

Chapter 326 "326" God of Gamblers Competition

Lin Yao has repeatedly proven the value of his "idea king" title with his own abilities.

After all, he was the one who came up with the tourism company project, and he was also the one who came up with the gambling ship project.

If Lin Yao hadn't been so ambitious, He Xin would have already taken him as his son-in-law.

After all, although Lin Yao's current net worth is not as high as some established tycoons, his influence has long surpassed that of many others.

They excel in security, real estate, and finance.

Even if He Xin were willing, Lin Yao might not be.

He Xin knew better than anyone just how proud a self-made millionaire like him could be.

So cooperation is possible, but deeper cooperation is definitely not an option.

Lin Yao said calmly, "What you care about is that the gambling ship has lowered our revenue in the Macau casino. In that case, why don't we do something big to attract everyone's attention back?"

He Xin said irritably, "Easier said than done, you go and plan it!"

"No problem, but you have to cooperate with me!" Lin Yao agreed immediately.

He Xin picked at his ear and said, "Huh? You agreed?"

"Why not agree?" Lin Yao spread his hands and said, "I also have casinos in Macau!"

He Xin quickly asked, "Tell me, what are you planning to do?"

Lin Yao said directly, "I'm planning to hold a God of Gamblers competition in Macau!"

"God of Gamblers...the Grand Tournament?" He Xin said with some surprise.

Lin Yao said directly to He Xin, "You must have connections with people from the International Casino Alliance, right?"

“Yes, I joined the International Casino Alliance a long time ago!” He Xin nodded.

Lin Yao lit a cigar and said, "We'll talk to the International Casino Federation about organizing an International Gambling God Competition and inviting all the top gamblers in the world to participate. Do you think that's a big enough gimmick?"

"I've already acquired a 67% stake in ATV, so I have absolute control. With some promotion through ATV, I'm sure no one will pay attention to the event."

Hearing Lin Yao's plan, He Xin pondered it for a moment.

It seems like, it really is worth a try!

If it could really be done, it could indeed gain huge exposure in a short period of time.

Then we can bring back all the customers who were lured away by the gambling ship.

He Xin looked at Lin Yao with increasing admiration in his eyes.

He has many people around him who offer him advice, such as Yu Lancan in the past and Qiu Xiaochi now.

But none of them are as quick-witted as Lin Yao.

One ingenious plan after another; no wonder he can build such a great career at such a young age.

It's true what they say: comparisons are odious!

He Xin naturally fully supported this: "No problem, I'll leave this to you! However, the venue for the competition is our Lisboa Casino."

Lin Yao looked at He Xin with disdain and didn't say anything.

He Xin coughed twice, somewhat awkwardly: "Tell me your conditions!"

Lin Yao said directly, "The final can be held at the Lisboa Casino, but the qualifying rounds and semi-finals must be held at the Twin Casinos."

“That works!” He Xin thought for a moment and nodded.

After all, this idea came from Lin Yao, and its execution requires Lin Yao's cooperation.

Therefore, the condition proposed by Lin Yao is not excessive.

Moreover, he had already experienced Lin Yao's methods once.

He didn't want to ruin the hard-won relationship again.

Lin Yao needs He Xin to use his connections to persuade the people in the casino alliance, so there's no way to secure a place for the finals.

However, Lin Yao would not back down an inch in other matches.

“In that case, I’d like to trouble you to contact the casino alliance!” Lin Yao said directly. “Once you’re ready, I’ll promote it on ATV channels.”

"Then it's settled!" He Xin nodded happily.

Although no concrete results have been seen, this approach could very well curb the impact of gambling ships.

Every time He Xin thought about this, he would get a headache.

I should never have listened to those two guys, Yu Lancan and Bengya Ju, and snatched those tourism company projects from Lin Yao. Otherwise, none of this would have happened.

He Xin rarely regrets his decisions, but he did regret this one.

……

A week later, He Xin reached an agreement with the International Casino Alliance.

They are preparing to hold an international gambling competition in Macau and have sent invitations to all the world's top gambling experts.

Even that old guy Ye Han was included.

However, Ye Han had no interest in being a contestant; instead, he participated in the competition as one of the six jurors.

Lin Yao personally delivered the invitation. "You little rascal, you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve!" Ye Han said with a smile, "You've come up with another gambling god competition! I bet those gambling masters will be fighting tooth and nail for this title!"

"It was just a publicity stunt!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "The most important thing is to attract customers to our casino! You don't mind, do you?"

Ye Han said with a smile, "Anyway, I've made He Xin bow down to me, so I have no regrets. What's past is past! I've received the invitation, and I'll attend on time!"

"However, your casino does indeed need a technical director. You can take your time to choose one this time! But remember to find someone with reliable character!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Don't worry, I already have someone in mind!"

"Oh? Who is it?" Ye Han asked with some curiosity.

"That young man who bet against you last time!" Lin Yao said with a smile, "Gao Jin."

Ye Han suddenly remembered the young man who had gambled against him on the gambling ship last time and had even slightly won.

Ye Han nodded and said, "That kid is indeed good, but he seems to be the disciple of the big swindler Jin Neng. Can you control him?"

"Don't worry, I have a way to make him wholeheartedly follow me!" Lin Yao said confidently.

Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, America, at the Roman Holiday Hotel.

Gao Jin was gambling with several foreigners in the casino's VIP room.

And they were playing Texas Hold'em.

For guys like them who excel at psychological warfare, playing Texas Hold'em is definitely a perfect fit.

The foreigners were beaten so badly by Gao Jin that they were ashen-faced, and their chips were almost gone.

"ALL IN!" Gao Jin pushed all his chips out again.

Just then, his phone rang. He frowned and answered it immediately: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Lin Yao. Remember to participate in the God of Gamblers competition next month!" Lin Yao said this and then hung up the phone.

Gao Jin's face immediately lit up with anticipation.

"Hey, you yellow-skinned monkey, are you here to gamble or to make a phone call?" The foreigner with the bulbous nose sneered and said, "Others may be afraid of you, but I'm not. ALL IN, show your cards and I'll have three nines."

"Sorry, Full House!" Gao Jin revealed his hand, then, without even glancing at the gambling experts before him, simply said to the dealer, "Exchange this for cash!"

Just as Gao Jin received the check from the casino, his phone rang again.

But this time it was his master, Jin Neng, who called: "Jin, how's it going in Las Vegas?"

“Master, I’ve seen a few experts, and I reckon it won’t be long before I’m on the blacklist too!” Gao Jin said directly.

“Great! Come back to Hong Kong with me next month. I have some amazing news for you!” Jin Neng said directly.

Gao Jin asked with a strange expression, "Master, what's the matter?"

"The casinos in Macau have joined forces with casinos around the world to organize an international gambling competition!" Jin Neng said with a smile. "I think this is a great platform, and I support you guys going to show your faces there."

"I understand, Master. I will come back right away!" Gao Jin nodded and said directly.

……

While He Xin and Lin Yao were sending out invitations everywhere, ATV also received advertising fees from He Xin's side.

They specially invited people from the advertising department to come and help advertise the God of Gamblers competition in Macau.

After hearing this, Yang Siwen knew that it was all because of her boss.

With such an amazing boss, things are so easy to do.

However, this senior executive in the advertising department seems to have some ideas of his own.

“Mr. Yang, I think there might be some risks involved in this advertisement in Haojiang!” The executive’s name was Liu Jiajia, a native of Hong Kong.

In the power struggle among senior executives, this woman was at the forefront.

Although Yang Siwen behaved herself for a while after taking office, it seems she's about to relapse.

Yang Siwen had tolerated these executives for a long time, but instead of restraining themselves, they seemed to be pushing their luck.

Yang Siwen coldly retorted, "What risks are there?"

Anyone familiar with Yang Siwen would know that she was furious beyond measure.

Liu Jiajia said directly, "The gambling industry is explicitly prohibited by the Hong Kong government. If we accept their advertising fees and help them advertise, I'm afraid some people in the government will have objections!"

"Who would object? I need to specify a particular person!" Yang Siwen stared at Liu Jia's house and said, word by word.

Liu Jiajia was visibly taken aback for a moment, then said with an awkward laugh, "I'm just helping the company avoid legal risks, Mr. Yang!"

“There are legal departments to help you avoid legal risks. Now I’m asking you, who would have a problem with that?” Yang Siwen pressed.

"I..." Liu Jiajia was speechless for a long time.

The reason she vehemently rejected the advertising proposal was simply because this business was not one she had secured.

The advertising department won't get any of the benefits then.

Yang Siwen sneered and said, "You're the one who has a problem with it, aren't you? You brought in this advertisement, so you can't manipulate the project?"

Faced with Yang Siwen's questioning, Liu Jiajia immediately lost his temper: "President Yang, there's no point in talking like that! When have I ever rigged the project? You need to provide evidence..."

But before Liu Jiajia could finish speaking, Yang Siwen took a document out of the drawer and slammed it onto the desk.
