I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

“Fuck, the Middle Eastern rich are the Middle Eastern rich. I saw people talking about them online before, but I didn’t quite believe it and thought they were bragging. But seeing it today has refreshed my understanding.” Chen Fu whispered to Chen Ran.

"Look at you, you look so ignorant." Chen Ran glared at him, telling him not to make a fool of himself in front of others.

"You sound like you've seen him before. I guess you're almost peeing your pants because of his money." Chen Fu rolled his eyes.

"It's okay." Chen Ran said lightly.

His family is in the government, and he has seen all kinds of leaders and powerful businessmen. Chen Ran, who has seen big scenes since childhood, naturally would not make a fuss like Chen Fu.

"Sorry, sorry, I just came back from out of town."

"Ha, Hu, we meet again. I talked to you so much on the phone that I couldn't help but come and see you in person."

At this moment, Hu Jian rushed in from outside. Ali saw him and gave him a warm hug.

It can be seen that the two are quite familiar with each other. Hu Jian used to be in charge of Huade's business in the Middle East and had many big clients, which was why Chen Yifeng wanted to keep him.

"This time I visited several local research institutes to look into matters related to materials, so I arrived late." Hu Jian said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"How is it?" Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.

"It's not ideal, but it's not hopeless." Hu Jian smiled.

"Having hope is a good thing. I can wait because I believe in people who keep their integrity." Ali did not show disappointment on his face, but seemed more optimistic.

You can't get the goods anyway, so why worry about it?
"Drip."

"I'm going to take a call."

At this moment, Chen Xi's cell phone suddenly rang. It seemed that the call was from Ma Yueling. He walked to a deserted place and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Sister Ling."

"Pack your things and come to the Australian area."

"Huh? Okay."

“By the way, bring Saori with you. I haven’t seen her for a long time.” Ma Yueling seemed a little excited when she mentioned Saori.

"Okay." Chen Xi, who knew nothing, agreed subconsciously.

"Keep your whereabouts secret and say you're going to HK." Ma Yueling thought for a moment and added.

"I see. By the way, Sister Ling, I bought some things at the auction. Several people were fighting for them. They were related to the sugar tycoon..."

"Okay, bring the things here first." Ma Yueling's words were always so clear and sharp, so Chen Xi had no choice but to nod and let it go.

Chen Xi is quite familiar with the Australian region.

In his previous life, he had played in all the major casinos around the world. He had been to this place known as the Oriental Casino more than once.

“Huade Group Chairman Chen Yifeng and Hengxiao Group’s Xu family have joined forces to draw a new blueprint for the Tomorrow Square project.

Senior executives from the two groups yesterday announced a major collaboration to jointly reshape the iconic Tomorrow Square project.

This news not only marks the in-depth cooperation between the two groups in the field of commercial real estate, but also indicates that Tomorrow Square will usher in unprecedented renewal and upgrading... Fuck you, when did I announce the cooperation? It just ended yesterday, and there was not even a press conference, and it was put in the newspaper?
They even wrote Qin Feilong and Wu Wanrong into the story. It must be that Qin Feilong is a cunning old man. He was afraid that I would not cooperate and would force me to be roasted on the fire." Chen Yifeng held a newspaper with trembling hands.

He was about to explode with rage. He had just thought of a way to crack the problem last night, but before he could let Zhang Xuan's father release the news today, he was rear-ended by someone.

"Damn it, damn it. Whose side is Qin Feilong on? I'm going to complain to my boss... No, if I bother him for such a small matter, they will definitely have some ideas about me..." Chen Yifeng thought about it and finally gave up the idea of ​​complaining.

After all, Qin Feilong and the people above are really their own people, and he is just an insignificant businessman. He can still clearly distinguish the importance of this.

"It seems that this project has to be done. If I don't cooperate with Qin Feilong, the higher-ups will definitely have some ideas. But this is a losing business... No, I can't be the only one to lose money, I have to spread the risk..." Chen Yifeng really couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only decide to drag everyone around him into it.

The Xu family was absolutely right. Given Chen Yifeng's personality, which was that he would rather die than let his fellow Taoist die, he would definitely take this step.

My business is not going well and my son is making me angry. It really makes me worried. I must find a chance to prevent this guy from coming back.

Chen Yifeng got angry whenever he thought about what happened at the wedding that day. He has had this problem since ancient times.

That is, whenever he encounters something unpleasant in business, he will go home and scold Chen Xi.

Anyway, he could find all kinds of reasons to vent his anger. Sometimes when Chen Xi was sitting there reading, he could find an inexplicable reason to educate his son.

Chen Caiyue often quarreled with Chen Yifeng about this, and Chen Yifeng would always avoid the topic by saying: A loving mother often has a spoiled child.

It is better to deal with the Tomorrow Square matter first. Anyway, this guy will come to me in a few days and say that he doesn’t want the company he gave it to. Then I will find an excuse to scold him. Hmm.

Chen Yifeng was very confident in dealing with his son, but dealing with the Xu family was not so easy.

Hilton Hotel.

"Hahaha, I guess Chen Yifeng has already seen the newspaper. He must be furious. Let's increase the intensity a little more." Yang Dingtian was holding a newspaper in his hand, laughing so hard that tears were about to come out.

"Yeah." Xu Jia didn't say anything and nodded lightly.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Xu Yun walked in with a few middle-aged men.

"Come, Mr. Xu, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Ma... They were all cheated by Chen Yifeng in the past..." Yang Dingtian rubbed his hands excitedly when he saw the people coming.

On the second day, at Aoqu Airport, a plane from Xinlu slowly landed.

The location of the Macau Airport is on the New Island, which is currently under development. The surrounding area is desolate, which is somewhat inconsistent with the prosperous scene of the Old Island entertainment venue in the movie.

The area of ​​Macao is about the size of a county town, but its economy is not bad. Of course, the money is contributed by mainlanders.

Most movies about Macau are usually shot in the old island, where many famous attractions are also located. It is an old town where locals like to live. As for the new island, it has actually been developed a long time ago, but the progress is quite slow. When did it start to speed up? It was eleven years ago, after the handover.

At that time, the Australian government began to reclaim land in an attempt to solve the problem of the region's small area and difficulty in development, so the new district was created.

"Saori, why did you secretly go to Chen Xi's place without saying hello to me?" In the car, Ma Yueling grabbed Saori's little hand and said with a smile on her face.

"Um...Sister Ling, it happened suddenly and we didn't have time..." Saori trembled and quickly explained.

"Don't do this again next time, otherwise I will be worried." Ma Yueling pinched the girl's face.

"You two have a really good relationship, just like real sisters." Chen Xi was amused as she watched the scene in front of her.

Looking at the entertainment venues outside the car, Chen Xi remembered that the casino opened by Parker and the He family here was also called Crown.

Later, they joined together to form the Boye Macau area, obtained a sub-license of the gambling license, and finally changed their name to the famous Melco, becoming one of the major systems in the Macau area.

The casinos in the Macao area are completely different from those in Australia. In terms of area, there is no casino in the entire Macao area, whether on the new island or the old island, as big as the Crown in Australia. However, the decoration is still remarkable because Asians like to put luxurious things on the facade, and there are often some precious works of art and wooden furniture that are priceless.

"This place is still under development, so there aren't many people. Most of the people who come to the new area are high-quality customers, and they care more about the environment and the hotels they stay in. The casinos in the old area are occupied by older guests, and the hotels there are too old, so many people are not used to living there..." Ma Yueling introduced the situation here to the four people.

Compared with the old area, the starting point of entertainment venues in the new area is a bit higher.

In the old district, the minimum bet is often 10 or 20 yuan. But in the new district, the threshold is very high. When these casinos first opened, they all started with 1,000 yuan.

However, with a high threshold, there were naturally fewer customers, and finally the casino had to change the rules and opened a few small tables with a starting price of 500 yuan.

Later on, there was a major technological revolution, and the emergence of live broadcast machines brought considerable income to casinos.

For example, Galaxy Entertainment Casino has made a lot of money by using live streaming machines. The boss’s net worth has also skyrocketed, and he will be called the new gambling king in the future.

"Sister Ling, the revenue in the Macau area doesn't seem to be that good. The competition is too fierce." In Chen Xi's memory, there were dozens of casinos in the Macau area, large and small, not to mention the private ones. The number was simply countless.

With so many venues opened in a county town, even if there are many customers, there is not enough money to share.

"Haha, the competition is indeed fierce, so it is impossible to continue operating relying solely on the income from the venue. That's why everyone has other businesses privately, and that's the profitable business..." Ma Yueling rarely smiled. Maybe it was because she saw Saori, she was still very happy.

Judging from the surface income of casinos in Australia, even if you add up the income of half of the big casinos in Australia, it is still not as much as that of Crown in Australia.

Of course, this income is definitely not what it seems on the surface, after all, you still have to pay taxes.

As a result, other businesses were taken up in a hurry by casino owners.

So what business should we talk about?

There are many things here, such as money exchange, insurance, local employment, real estate investment, overseas asset allocation, business visa processing, etc. Anyway, as long as you have money, everything can be done for you.

At first glance, there is nothing wrong with these businesses, but in fact they are all highly profitable projects. During this period, the income of some businesses may be higher than that of casinos.

Take money exchange for example. If a customer wins money in a casino, he or she has to take it back to the mainland. Or if a customer wants to exchange it for local money to play in the casino, he or she needs to find a place to handle it.

In the early days of Australia, people exchanged money at pawn shops. The exchange rate there was definitely much higher than that at banks, so they could make a lot of money from it.

Just think about it and you will know who the bosses behind these pawnshops are.

Later, with the emergence of online payment, the people from Jiangxi Province discovered business opportunities, so they formed a team and went to the Australian area to start a new profession called money changers.

It means directly connecting with customers on behalf of the pawnshop and earning profits through online transfer operations.

But this kind of money-making business is definitely attractive, and there is no special operating skills required. As long as you are willing to work hard, stay there every day or take a few more steps, you can make money.

Chinese people are like this. As long as they see others have profitable projects, they will flock to them. After the emergence of the Jiangxi Province Gang, the Three Provinces Gang followed, and then the Guangdong Province Gang.

Of course, this gang or society that cannot be specifically named is a name given to these people from different provinces.

When you go to a casino to play, nine out of ten people will lose money. What do you do if you have no money left after losing everything?

Many fighters who lost all their battles had no choice but to become these money-exchangers.

The money exchange industry also has a complete industry chain, with suppliers of goods, i.e. the upstream suppliers of banknotes, middlemen who purchase goods and exchange and sell them, and then shops at docks and other places that are responsible for collecting money, i.e. foreign exchange shops.

Next is real estate investment and overseas asset allocation. People who win a lot of money often think that it is easy to make money, so they buy houses here under the instigation of the casino. Or they move the money to other places through overseas asset allocation.

This thing is similar to a foreign exchange shop. It gives you a high-sounding name outside, but it can also be called an underground money house in private.

There are also many strange and peculiar businesses. Anyway, it is almost the same as HK. As long as you have money, they can do whatever you want.

"Alas, due to the limitations of history, no one at the time expected it to develop like this." Chen Xi said after hearing what Ma Yueling said.

"Hehe, how long have you been back and you're already speaking Mandarin to me and talking about the limitations of history." Ma Yueling was amused. Chen Xi's old-fashioned look coupled with his young face made him look pretentious.

“There are more and more casinos around the world, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. The casinos with good performance here are still invested by the Sands Group. After all, they are the world's largest casino, with first-class management experience and technological updates. I think that in the near future, the casinos run by those old people in Australia will gradually be eliminated..." Ma Yueling supported her chin with her hand and began to analyze the future trends of the gaming industry.

It has to be said that the bosses behind the world's large casinos are all from Da Piaoliang. Although this is the Australian region and the situation is extremely complicated, without their support, this oriental gambling city will no longer exist.

The factors involved are very complex and cannot be explained in just a few words.

"Sister Ling, there doesn't seem to be anyone with the surname Ma in the casinos in Australia. Why do you know so much about the gaming industry, and even have a position in Crown Australia?" Chen Xi asked knowingly.

"We're already here, and you still want to test my background? We've arrived, get off the car." Ma Yueling chuckled and pointed outside the car window.

Outside the car is a luxurious villa with an outer wall made of off-white stone. The huge arched porch is carved with intricate and delicate patterns, which not only highlights the owner's noble status but also has an artistic atmosphere.

The roof is covered with dark blue glazed tiles, which sparkle in the sun.

I have to say that the rich people in this area of ​​Australia are different. They use and live in extremely luxurious places. (End of this chapter)
