Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 838: Investing in Casinos

Celebrities seem to be very dazzling. They are often followed by the media and the public, and are admired by people. Their incomes are also extremely high. One endorsement advertisement can earn them millions or tens of millions. It can be said that they are in great glory. But they are just celebrities after all, packaged by ordinary people. Apart from their acting skills and drinking skills, they have nothing else. They cannot be compared with people like Lu Shaohua who have worked hard to earn a fortune of trillions of dollars.

With Lu Shaohua's ability, if a star offended Lu Shaohua, well, since it was a world-class star who offended him, I'm afraid that Lu Shaohua only needed to say a word, and the star would be ruined and fall from the altar in an instant. This is the difference.

So when Lu Shaohua greeted them, everyone was surprised and some were unable to react, as if they had heard the most important thing in the world. The reason was simple, because in their opinion, there was no need for Lu Shaohua to greet them. They and Lu Shaohua were not on the same level at all.

Therefore, several big stars were suddenly in a panic. Fortunately, people were in a good mood and recovered to normal after the panic. They shook hands with Lu Shaohua one by one and shouted "Hello, Mr. Lu" as a response to Lu Shaohua.

Lu Shaohua was not proud, he just smiled and didn't say much. But then again, Lu Shaohua didn't look down on these stars, for no other reason, Lu Shaohua believed that they were also creating their own careers with their skills.

Of course, Lu Shaohua would not make close friends with them. The reason was simple: the entertainment industry was too dark and full of scandals. If Chiyoko Ando had not entered the entertainment industry, Lu Shaohua might never have appeared on the set in his life.

However, the situation is different now. Chiyoko Andeng must enter the entertainment industry, and Lu Shaohua is now facing a person who will be very famous in the future. Giving them a little face may pave the way for Chiyoko Andeng, which will do more good than harm.

"Stephen Chow, right? Are you the director this time?" Lu Shaohua asked Stephen Chow.

It has to be said that Stephen Chow left a deep influence on Lu Shaohua, especially in his previous life, Lu Shaohua had watched many of Stephen Chow's movies, and learned many classic lines from the movies, as well as Stephen Chow's talent for comedy.

"Yes." Stephen Chow was very serious. He nodded and responded seriously.

Stephen Chow is not only one of the screenwriters of "The King of Comedy", he is also the director of the film and an actor. It can be said that these three identities are gathered together. However, since he is facing Lu Shaohua, he naturally will not put on airs.

Just kidding, how dare Stephen Chow put on airs? Don't forget, Stephen Chow's boss is standing next to him. No, not only the boss, but also his boss. Heung Wah Keung, the leader of Sun Yee On, and Stephen Chow is actually a member of Sun Yee On.

Xiang Huaqiang and Lu Shaohua have a very close relationship. If Stephen Chow dares to put on airs towards Lu Shaohua, he might be fired by Xiang Huaqiang tomorrow. If he goes too far, it is possible that Xiang Huaqiang will send someone to hack him to death and leave his body on the street.

Lu Shaohua smiled gently. He knew the hidden story very well and was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he looked at An Teng Chiyo who was walking over, then pointed at An Teng Chiyo and said, "An Teng Chiyo, a rising star trained by Phoenix Entertainment. If you can take care of her, please take care of her more."

On the surface, Lu Shaohua's words sounded very gentle, but anyone could tell that Lu Shaohua's words were soft yet firm, and had a tone that did not allow for rejection.

Zhou Xingchi is a smart man, otherwise he wouldn't have come this far, nor would he have achieved what he has in the future. Naturally, he understood what Lu Shaohua meant, nodded heavily, and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Lu."

"Yes." Lu Shaohua nodded, and his eyes swept over the others one by one. Seeing that everyone nodded, Lu Shaohua smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you all."

You can be tough, but you can't be tough all the time. Since Lu Shaohua has a high status, he can't be tough all the time. Being polite occasionally can leave a good impression on people.

"You're welcome……"

"You're welcome……"

"You're welcome……"

……

Whether it was Stephen Chow, Karen Mok, Ng Meng-tat, Cecilia Cheung and Cheng Cheng, they all responded quickly.

Lu Shaohua was even more satisfied, and nodded with a smile, and then said to An Teng Chiyo, "If you don't understand anything, please ask the seniors for advice. Don't forget that you are a newcomer."

Lu Shaohua's words were a bit of a lesson, and it was also for the sake of An Teng Chiyo. After all, An Teng Chiyo's personality was too eccentric, and with Lu Shaohua as a backer, she might become too proud. If she wasn't given a warning, something unpleasant might happen.

It's not over yet. After knocking on Chiyo Anten, Lu Shaohua didn't wait for her to respond, but patted Zhou Xingchi on the shoulder and said, "If there are any good movies in the future that the boss is unwilling to invest in, bring them to Phoenix Entertainment, and I will invest, haha..."

This is a complete joke, but isn't it the seed planted by Lu Shaohua? If Stephen Chow really has a good movie in the future and Xiang Huaqiang is unwilling to invest, it is not a bad idea to ask Lu Shaohua for investment.

"Xiao Hua, you are poaching in blatant form. I've never seen anyone like you." Xiang Huaqiang was discouraged and cursed with a smile.

"Ha ha……"

Lu Shaohua laughed loudly, and did not respond to Xiang Huaqiang. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Uncle Xiang, let's go. I always ask you to treat me. Today I will treat you."

"Even the iron tree has its time to bloom. Hey...it looks like we'll have to eat a lot today." Xiang Huaqiang was also cheerful, and then waved his hand and said, "You guys go and get busy."

They left, Lu Shaohua and Xiang Huaqiang left, left the set. From beginning to end, Chiyoko Anten didn't say a word, and Lu Shaohua had no intention of talking to her. After leaving, Lu Shaohua just nodded at her and signaled with his eyes.

……

In the top box of the only five-star hotel in Kowloon, Lu Shaohua and Xiang Huaqiang sat next to each other, along with He Qiang, Li Wusheng, and two bodyguards beside Xiang Huaqiang. The six of them sat at a table and ordered food very impolitely.

After ordering the dishes, the next thing was to wait for the meal. Of course, during this time, they couldn't sit around doing nothing and be in a daze. Lu Shaohua took the initiative to bring up the topic and asked, "Uncle Xiang, are you preparing it?"

Lu Shaohua's question was a bit confusing, but Xiang Huaqiang understood that Lu Shaohua was asking about mobilizing funds and summoning traders.

"We are making every effort to prepare." Xiang Huaqiang nodded seriously and said solemnly.

"That's good." Lu Shaohua also nodded and said this.

After he finished speaking, Lu Shaohua did not continue the topic, but took the initiative to change the subject and talk about some gossip instead of business.

But Xiang Huaqiang didn't let Lu Shaohua get what he wanted, and suddenly asked, "Do you know Mr. He from Macau?"

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua frowned, thought for a while, and then asked back. "Is it the gambling king He family?"

There may be many people with the surname He in Macau, but there is only one famous one that Xiang Huaqiang can mention, and that is the gambling king's He family, which is also the most powerful family in Macau.

"It's the gambling king He family." Xiang Huaqiang nodded, and then continued, "Some time ago, the He family opened a new financial institution and was looking for someone to cooperate with. Then they found me. Well, I want to invest 10%. Are you interested? If you are interested, please join in. I will talk to you and try to get 10% as well."

Xiang Huaqiang thought that with the influence of the He family in Macau, opening a casino would be 100% profitable. Also, if Lu Shaohua also came in, it would be a way to make money. Therefore, Xiang Huaqiang also wanted to act as a pimp and ask Lu Shaohua what he thought.

Lu Shaohua smiled lightly. He didn't think it was a big deal. He said, "It's a good thing. It's okay to participate. Just 10%. I'll just play around."

Lu Shaohua had never thought about investing in a casino before, but Phoenix Group has a Phoenix Entertainment Company under it. Investing in a casino is also a way to expand business. What's more, Lu Shaohua has been well-known in the He family for a long time, so it would be nice to get to know him.

"Okay, I'll talk to them tomorrow." Xiang Huaqiang nodded and said.

Xiang Huaqiang's words were a bit euphemistic, but Lu Shaohua could hear it. Xiang Huaqiang was full of confidence, as if he was telling Lu Shaohua that once he said it, it was 100% certain and there would be no surprises.

Come to think of it, who is Xiang Huaqiang? He is a bully in Hong Kong, and the He family is a bully in Macau. Both sides are dominant in their own areas. How can there be no connection between them?

"I also heard that Old Li and Old Huo, father and son, have also joined in this time. If you come in too, it will be lively. Our Chinese Chamber of Commerce has several shareholders. Haha, when the time comes, if we gather all the shareholders together, Old He's family may have fewer shareholders than us." Xiang Huaqiang said happily.

It's a joke, just a joke. Xiang Huaqiang is just making fun of the He family.

Are you kidding? The casino is opened by the He family. Given how smart the He family is, how could they take less than 51% of the shares? That would be asking for trouble. If someone really joins forces, the casino will really change hands.

Lu Shaohua also knew that Xiang Huaqiang was joking, so he smiled and said, "Let's go to the casino someday when we have time. To be honest, I have never been to a casino in my life!"

"..." Xiang Huaqiang was speechless for a while, and then said, "If you enter the casino, who would dare to gamble with you? Forget about other things, just take your financial strength, you can crush everyone, even the gambling king can't beat you."

What Xiang Huaqiang said is true. With Lu Shaohua's financial resources, even if he has no cards in his hand, he can raise the bet desperately to make others fold automatically. There is almost no possibility of winning when betting with Lu Shaohua.

"Ha ha….."

Lu Shaohua laughed out loud. It's true. That's exactly what Xiang Huaqiang said. He is worth trillions. If he bets on cards with no limit, there will be few people in the world who dare to bid with him.

Is not it?
