At a five-star hotel not far from the Chen Dong Villa, Dong Han, along with Hung Hing's Chan Ho-nam, He Lian Sheng's Li A-ji, and Hung Tai's Hung Nam, gathered together.
Upon hearing that Dong Han wanted to recruit them to join him in the gambling ship business, the three immediately showed great interest.
Li Aji asked, "Mr. Dong, joining Oriental Entertainment Company is not impossible, but the question is how many shares we can get? If it's too little, we have no reason to offend Mr. He over this matter."
Chan Ho-nam chimed in, "Brother Kee is right. The gambling ship business sounds good, but nobody dares to say exactly how much money it can make."
Dong Han smiled slightly and said, "There is no such thing as a sure-fire business in the world. If you only want to make money and don't want to take risks, there is no such thing as a free lunch. I am already seventy-five years old this year. If I were an ordinary person, I would have been enjoying my retirement ten years ago. Why would I be worrying about this? To tell you the truth, making money is secondary for me in running this Oriental Entertainment Company. The most important thing is to be able to beat He Hongsheng once."
Hong Nan frowned and said, "Mr. Dong, to put it bluntly, we are not interested in your petty squabbles. Just tell us directly, how many shares will you leave us?"
Dong Han said, “I spent 400 million to buy two super luxury cruise ships, and 100 million as operating capital for the company. If the three of you can each contribute 500 million, then you can acquire 25% of the shares of Oriental Entertainment Company. However, control and operation rights must remain with me. I want to rely on Oriental Entertainment Company to completely defeat Ho Hung-sheng. After Oriental Entertainment Company acquires 50% of the Macau gaming industry, I will sell the shares to you, withdraw from the company, and live my retirement life. This is my overall plan, which can be written into the agreement we sign. What do you three think?”
Chen Haonan, Li Aji, and Hong Nan all fell silent.
It wasn't because Dong Han's conditions were too harsh; on the contrary, the conditions he offered were too good, so good that the three of them couldn't help but suspect that the old man was swindling them out of their money.
Chan Ho-nam coughed and said, "Mr. Tung, what exactly is your purpose in doing this?"
A bitter expression appeared on Dong Han's face as he said, "I have more money than I could spend in ten lifetimes, but I have no children to inherit it. What use is all the money I earn after I die? Heh, I'm known as the Gambling Saint. I've won my whole life, but I only lost to Ho Hung-shing, so defeating him has become my only obsession. You three are still young. In a few decades, if you're in the same situation as me, you'll understand what I'm doing."
A hero grows old!
The word appeared in the minds of Chen Haonan and the other two almost simultaneously.
Li Aji said, "Mr. Dong, we and Lian Sheng have agreed to invest HK$500 million to join Oriental Entertainment Company."
Chan Ho-nam and Hung Nam exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We agree too."
Dong Han laughed heartily, "That's great. With this 1.5 billion, we can buy six more large luxury cruise ships. Eight cruise ships plus top-notch service will be enough to attract the attention of those wealthy people."
Hong Nan said, "Besides gambling licenses, we can also organize some activities on the ship, such as boxing matches, ball games, and so on."
Dong Han's eyes lit up, and he said, "Great idea! It seems that you young people are the most resourceful."
Li Aji raised his glass and said, "Then let's raise a glass together and wish for a pleasant and successful cooperation. Cheers!"
"cheers."
The collaboration between the legendary gambling master and the three major triads of Hong Kong Island was thus achieved, foreshadowing a new era of turmoil in the Macau gambling industry.
After agreeing to sign the contract the next day, Dong Han returned home, citing exhaustion as the reason.
Chen Haonan, Li Aji, and Hong Nan personally saw him off to the car, and then stood in the parking lot and chatted.
Hong Nan said, "The Loyalty Trust is completely finished, and its territory has become a piece of fat meat in the eyes of various gangs. In order to avoid fighting, I think it is necessary for our three gangs to discuss the division of territory."
Chan Ho-nam hummed in agreement and said, "Of course, it would be best if we could talk."
Li Aji nodded as well.
The three of them went back into the hotel private room to discuss the division of Zhongyixin's territory.
After a heated debate, the three major gangs reached an agreement on most of their territories.
Ownership of some territories was decided through a tournament.
As for other organizations, the three organizations will unite to drive them all away.
That's how the martial arts world works: whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.
The news that Dong Han had dinner with the heads of the three major triads quickly reached He Hongsheng's ears.
He Hongsheng immediately realized that Dong Han was trying to win them over and oppose him.
"Hey, Ah-Ji, got a moment? I'm in Hong Kong Island, wanted to buy you a drink?"
He Hongsheng never chose to sit idly by and wait for his doom.
He immediately called Li Aji.
Li Aji naturally guessed He Hongsheng's purpose and smiled, "Mr. He, I've just had quite a bit to drink, so it would be very impolite to meet you now. How about I treat you to a late breakfast tomorrow morning?"
He Hongsheng asked, "Aji, where have you been drinking?"
Li Aji did not hide anything and said, "Tonight, Mr. Dong Han treated us to dinner to discuss joining Oriental Entertainment Company."
He Hongsheng's eyes flashed, and he said, "You agreed?"
Li Aji said, "Of course. The conditions offered by Mr. Dong were a bit too good to be true. Chen Haonan, Hong Nan, and I agreed without even thinking about it."
Ho Hung-shing frowned and said, "Would you mind telling me?"
Li Aji laughed and said, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. Mr. Dong has divided 75% of the shares of Oriental Entertainment Company equally among us."
He Hongsheng's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Has he gone mad?"
