Chapter 1478
After exchanging a few polite words, they sat down one after another.
Wan Sicheng and Huang Lidong didn't care about Su Jianxin's identity, probably because they regarded him as Ye Xiao's secretary.
At this time, Ye Xiao took the lead in bringing up the topic, "Mr. Wan, I heard that your family intends to transfer the gambling license. Is that true?"
Wan Sicheng nodded, "It's true!"
"I'm curious. When the government launched the gambling license, the major families in Australia City fought fiercely for it. Why did your family give it up?"
Ye Xiao didn't intend to negotiate with Wan Sicheng directly on whether to transfer the gambling license to him, but wanted to learn more about it.
What if there is a hidden trap here?
After all, no matter who thinks it, the Wan family is transferring a goose that lays golden eggs. The Wan family is not at the end of its rope now, so why is it like this?
Wan Sicheng sighed, "To be honest with you, Mr. Ye, my mother is a devout believer of the Holy Church. In the teachings of the Holy Church, gambling is an evil act that leads to greed and deception, so my mother has always opposed my family opening a casino."
"Not long ago, my mother became depressed because of this, so my father planned to transfer the gambling license to let my mother feel at ease."
Hearing Wan Sicheng's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised. This reason was a bit outrageous to him.
You know, the Wan family is a real big capitalist. Shouldn't capitalists believe in money?
And the Holy Church is also the state religion of many Western capitalist countries, but shouldn't they kill people and open casinos?
Although Ye Xiao was a little skeptical, he still had an expression of deep agreement on his face, "Your father and mother are really affectionate and loyal!"
After saying that, he changed the subject and said, "Mr. Wan, how do you plan to transfer your family's gambling license?"
When it came to business, Wan Sicheng resumed his appearance as a shrewd businessman, "My father wants to find a buyer who is capable of taking over and making good use of the gambling license, and then sell the license."
"General Ye, please forgive me for being frank. Lidong has also told me about your intentions. As the saying goes, different trades are like different mountains. I don't think you can do the casino business."
Wan Sicheng said neither servile nor arrogant. He did not try to please Ye Xiao just because he was a general of the War Department and a martial arts master, but expressed his true thoughts.
After hearing what Wan Sicheng said, Huang Lidong's expression stagnated slightly, because before this, Wan Sicheng had not told him that he was not optimistic about Ye Xiao, which caught him off guard for a while.
Ye Xiao was also stunned at this time. Obviously, he did not expect Wan Sicheng to be so direct.
But he regained his calmness in an instant, "Then who do you think is more suitable to be the next buyer, Mr. Wan?"
Although Ye Xiao said this calmly, it made the atmosphere in the whole private room a little solidified.
Although Wan Sicheng also felt some pressure, he still said with a professional smile: "General Ye, my father and I both think that the He family and the Mi family can make better use of the gambling license."
"First, they already have a casino in their hands, which makes them more handy in running the gambling business. Second, they are all families in Aocheng, and we know them inside and out."
The Mi family mentioned by Wan Sicheng is also one of the owners of the six casinos in Aocheng. Although its family strength is not top-notch, it is only below the three major families in Aocheng.
In fact, there is another point that Wan Sicheng did not say, because after saying it, he believed that he would offend Ye Xiao more.
To open a casino in Aocheng, you need to have the support of a big local force. He Yunwei has the Wuji Association behind him, He Yunlei has the Mo family, and the Mi family also has close contacts with many sects, but what does Ye Xiao have in Aocheng?
You can't just rely on Ye Xiao's reputation! Maybe someone will buy it in the short term, but over time, someone will always come to make trouble.
After hearing what Wan Sicheng said, Ye Xiao and Su Jianxin frowned.
Originally, they thought that the Huang family was playing a role, and the Wan family would not directly hand over the gambling license, but would be more inclined to hand it over to their own hands.
Unexpectedly, the Wan family had no intention of transferring it to them.
But what Wan Sicheng said, if it does not include human relations, is reasonable from a business perspective. Besides, people are not optimistic about it, but they can be invited to meet, which is also a face given to Ye Xiao, so Ye Xiao can't blame it.
"Sicheng, I think what you said is not a problem."
"Although General Ye has no experience in opening a casino, it is still easy to find a professional manager, and General Ye is my Huang"He is a friend of the family. My Huang family can guarantee him." Huang Lidong looked straight at Wan Sicheng and said. Hearing this, Wan Sicheng's brows twisted slightly. He noticed that Huang Lidong did not come in his own name, but brought the Huang family with him. This is very meaningful. The Huang family is now the number one family in Australia City. Although they do not have gang power, they hold the police force of the entire Australia City in their hands. This deterrent power is naturally greater than that of other families. If it were not for the competition for gambling licenses two years ago, the Huang family did not participate in order to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, the Huang family would definitely be able to win one or two.
Now that the Huang family supports Ye Xiao so much, does it mean that they want to enter the gambling industry indirectly through Ye Xiao?
Or have the two sides reached some kind of alliance?
Huang Lidong's words also made Ye Xiao somewhat intriguing. He had only contacted Huang Lidong, and had not yet met the real decision-maker of the Huang family.
Why did Huang Lidong dare to represent the entire Huang family?
Could it be that the Huang family had learned some rumors from the Longguo government?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wan Sicheng laughed, "Lidong, since you said so, I will withdraw my doubts just now."
At this point, he turned his head to Ye Xiao, "General Ye, I will tell my father about our conversation today. If you really decide to enter the gambling industry, my Wan family welcomes you. "
Wan Sicheng had to take Huang Lidong's words seriously. The combination of Ye Xiao and the Huang family was unmatched by other families in Australia City in terms of both funds and power.
But Wan Sicheng did not say anything final. Whether to transfer the gambling license to Ye Xiao or not, let Ye Xiao compete with other families!
Ye Xiao naturally heard the implication of Wan Sicheng, "Mr. Wan, can you find a time for me to meet your father?"
Although Ye Xiao could not figure out why Huang Lidong took such a big step, since the other party had pushed him, he would just climb up.
As for the conditions of the Huang family, he could talk to Huang Lidong privately when he came down.
"I have to ask my father's opinion on this first." Wan Sicheng also did not give a positive answer.
"Sicheng, General Ye, why don't you let someone serve the food! We can talk while eating. "Seeing that the conversation between the two sides could not make any progress, Huang Lidong said at the right time.
For the next half an hour, the three of them were toasting each other with their own thoughts, and no one mentioned the gambling license again.
After the banquet, Wan Sicheng left first on the pretext that the company had something to do, while Ye Xiao and Huang Lidong stayed.
Not only Ye Xiao wanted to test Huang Lidong's attitude, but Huang Lidong also wanted to make further explanations to Ye Xiao.
After he talked about this with his father last night, his father asked him to reveal to Ye Xiao a little about the real intentions of the Huang family. Otherwise, if one day Ye Xiao found out that the Huang family was using him, he would inevitably turn against them.
If a person who once caused a lot of trouble in Hong Kong City becomes an enemy, his Huang family may not be able to deal with it.
"General Ye, actually my father wanted to meet you, but unfortunately, he has an important meeting today. "
Huang Lidong said with a faint smile.
The reason why he brought up his father, the mayor of Aocheng, was undoubtedly to show that he was here to talk to Ye Xiao on behalf of the entire Huang family.
"Mayor Huang is thoughtful. I will visit him in person some other day."
Ye Xiao also responded with a smile.
It seems that he still underestimated Huang Lidong! Although this person gave him a feeling that he was not as stable as Wan Sicheng, his position in the decision-making level of his family should be higher than Wan Sicheng.
