Wei Shijie asked in confusion: "Miss Lu lost contact at the Macau casino, why is she in Zhuhai again?"

Xue Yilan said: "It should be said that Junket Operators did it. They are often cunning and often travel between Macau, Hong Kong and the Mainland. Many people have bought houses and settled down in Zhuhai, so it is difficult to investigate."

Wei Shijie asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What is 'junket operator'?"

Xue Yilan smiled and said: "'Jinjack Operator' is a slang term on the road, which refers to the middleman between the VIP rooms of Macau casinos and gamblers. 'Jumper Operator' is to discover potential mainland gamblers and investigate the customers.

With his financial strength, he arranged to receive guests to come to Macau to gamble, and then received kickbacks from the casino.”

Seeing that Wei Shijie still didn't understand, Xue Yilan continued: "Mainland has strict controls on individuals carrying large amounts of cash out of the country. Therefore, a 'junket operator' is needed to 'wash' the code for the customer, that is, according to the customer's code

Their strength provides them with corresponding chips, so that mainland guests can avoid the restriction of not being able to bring large amounts of money to Macau for gambling. However, these chips cannot be cashed directly and can only be used on the gambling table, and are called 'mud chips'."

In this regard, Wei Shijie is very savvy and can make sense. He said: "Isn't there another advantage of doing this, that is, it is difficult to identify the source of the funds and the identity of the customer?"

"Awesome, Mr. Wei!" Xue Yilan nodded: "If the customer wins, the chips must be converted into cash through the Junket Operator and transferred to the country; if the customer loses, the Junket Operator must find a way to get the gambling debt back.

After they get it back, the casino will give them a commission at a rate of 1% to 1.2%, and this part of the income is called 'code grain'."

Wei Shijie sighed: "Is that understandable? Miss Lu lost a lot in the casino and was put under house arrest by Junket Operator."

Xue Yilan said: "In order to recover gambling debts, illegal detention, intimidation and threats are nothing new. However, it is not yet clear whether this is the case for Miss Lu."

If Lu Xixi owed a small gambling debt, he should have settled it long ago. If he owed a lot, Li Xiang wouldn't be able to settle it, and he might not be able to pay it. If they don't pay, can they let him go? Thinking of this, Wei

Shijie asked worriedly: "Is Miss Lu sure she will deliver it tomorrow morning?"

"It should be no problem." Xue Yilan said: "Boss Zhang personally found the boss of Wheat, so he still has some face."

Wei Shijie originally wanted to ask, can face be used to pay off gambling debts? But thinking about it, he could only swallow it back, pointing and admiring the cruise ships passing by on the water.

At this moment, Zhang Zhilong sent a car to take Chu Tianshu, Leng Xue and others to a garden villa in Kowloon, Hong Kong. This was both his residence and the place where he entertained distinguished guests.

Inside and outside the door, among the shadows, you can see the figure of Ka's bodyguard from time to time.

Zhang Zhilong led everyone into the garden. When everyone took a look, the decoration was indeed magnificent.

According to Zhang Zhilong, all the dilapidated beams and columns when they were purchased were replaced with high-quality wood from Southeast Asia. The garden rockery in the yard was specially shipped from Fujian.

The furniture in the house is all made of Vietnamese mahogany. Especially the set of benches in the living room, which were purchased at a large price from the Ming Dynasty. They are simple and elegant, showing grace and splendor.

In recent years, Wen Jiaqi has given guidance to many wealthy businessmen, and he can be regarded as someone who has seen big scenes. But when he saw the decoration in the courtyard, he couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Zhang, last year I went to Hangzhou to visit Hu Xueyan's

My old residence is not much better than yours."

Zhang Zhilong said: "To be honest, in order to do business to support publicity, I have to pretend to be fat. They are all gold and silver common things, which cannot be judged by the master."

As Chu Tianshu walked, he secretly thought to himself that Zhang Zhilong picked up the group in a special car and invited the group into a private garden and treated them like VIPs. First, it was because of his low profile, and second, he wanted to talk about private topics.

Zhang Zhilong introduced as he walked: "Tonight, I specially invited a chef from Lei Garden to invite everyone to try Cantonese food."

Wen Jiaqi said: "Lei Garden is a well-known high-end Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong. It was founded in 1973 by Mr. Chen Shujie, the youngest son of the Guangdong warlord and Kuomintang military and political leader Chen Jitang, known as the 'Southern King'. It has become popular in Hong Kong, Macao and Singapore.

Lei Garden is best at adding elements of other world cuisines to traditional Cantonese cuisine, as well as the essence of cuisine from the north and south of the Yangtze River, creating endless variations."

After sitting down, Zhang Zhilong asked the Filipino maid to serve the food.

The dishes were served and the tableware was placed in front of everyone one by one.

Yan Yujie couldn't help but sigh that eating a meal was like reading a history book.

Although it was cooked in Zhang Zhilong's own kitchen, the color, flavor and taste were no less than those in restaurants. Everyone ate with gusto, but Zhang Zhilong only tasted the food.

The food is delicious and the wine is plentiful.

Zhang Zhilong's drinking capacity is astonishing. He is smiling and toasting frequently.

Of course, with Chu Tianshu's drinking capacity, he will naturally not have stage fright when drinking.

After drinking a few rounds of wine, Zhang Zhilong put down his glass and said, "Brother Chu, the news that came in this afternoon is that President Wei and Yi Lan have almost finished their affairs in Macau."

"Really? Brother Zhang really has a lot of face!" Chu Tianshu had been concentrating on drinking and tasting food. In fact, he was also very anxious. He just couldn't press the question and was just waiting for Zhang Zhilong to get to the point.

Zhang Zhilong said: "Some of our bosses have worked together in the past. Although we haven't had much contact with each other over the years, we still give them some noodles."

Chu Tianshu understood that Zhang Zhilong said that he had worked with the boss of the gaming company before, which was just a polite way of saying it. In fact, they should have been his subordinates in the early years and had received his favor and care. Otherwise, just a phone call from him would

It is impossible to rush around for him.

Yan Yujie asked: "Mr. Zhang, I would like to take the liberty to ask, what kind of trouble did Miss Lu cause in Macau?"

This is really not because Yan Yujie is young and outspoken, but because he wants to find out how much it will cost to find Lu Xixi, because Wei Shijie has already said in the morning that he will be responsible for the cost of finding people in business negotiations.

bear.

Zhang Zhilong said: "It wasn't really a nuisance at first. I just owed hundreds of thousands of gambling debts and was entangled by the Junket Operator. But later, the Junket Operator figured out Miss Lu's background and wanted to take the opportunity to win more money."

Go ahead and the trouble will get bigger."

Zhang Zhilong said it in an understatement, but Yan Yujie was a little nervous.

Hundreds of thousands of gambling debts, plus seven or seven hundred and eighty-eight expenses, should not be less than one million. If it were left in the past, Century Sunshine would not care about one million.

There are too many places, and once this money is paid, there will not be much liquidity left on the books.

Before I knew it, I was full of wine and food.

Wen Jiaqi and Yan Yujie were a little drunk and had drunk too much. Zhang Zhilong arranged for a car and people to take them back to the Peninsula Hotel, but specially left Chu Tianshu and Leng Xue behind and invited them to walk in the yard together. (Unfinished)
