Although Mr. Zhao was talking about broad terms such as "stability and unity", Zhou Hao knew that in the domestic political circles, at least the Zhao faction had already defined the He family.
Yes, the He family is the real first family in Macau, controlling almost the entire economy of Macau. But that was the situation before Macau's return. Macau was a colony of Portugal, and since Macau itself is on mainland China, other
The vast majority of the population is also Chinese, so Portugal cannot settle too many Portuguese people in Macau. Therefore, to govern Macau, it must use the method of "governing China with China".
The He family is the best tool used by Portugal to manage Macau. He Hongsen's fortune also depends on the support of the Portuguese government. However, after the return of Macau, the central government will never allow this situation to continue, regardless of whether it is for
In any place, what the central government is most afraid of is that local forces will become stronger, causing the country's policies to fail to be effective.
Zhou Hao already knew at this time why the He family could not get the approval of the central government despite all their efforts. This was because the He family’s roots in Macau were too deep and had a considerable impact on the central government’s governance of Macau. Therefore, the He family is now in the central government
It is already an obstacle in the eyes. This situation arises because Macau is too small. Although Hong Kong also has local forces, because Hong Kong is much larger than Macau, there are far more local forces than one, resulting in a kind of
The relatively balanced situation has allowed Hong Kong to maintain stability.
"Macau is now one of the three major gambling cities in the world, and it is also the largest and most famous gambling destination in Asia." Mr. Zhao's voice came again: "Since the late 1980s and early 1990s, there have been many gambling companies in our country.
People are attracted to Macau. The whole world knows that Chinese people love gambling, and this bad habit has also caused a lot of problems."
Zhou Hao was quite surprised, but did not interrupt Mr. Zhao. He only listened to Mr. Zhao continue: "Especially after Hong Kong and Taiwanese businessmen came to invest in the mainland in large numbers, in order to more smoothly develop the mainland market, those businessmen took local officials to Macau.
Gambling, using gambling to corrupt those local officials and eventually lead them to the road of no return."
It can be heard that although Mr. Zhao's tone is as calm as water, there is a lot of anger in it: "At that time, we once approached He Hongsen and negotiated with him to see if we could cooperate with us to find those black sheep and
To a certain extent, transfer back the money that originally belonged to the people of our country."
At this time, Mr. Zhao said this, and Zhou Hao knew that He Hongsen had such a twists and turns with the central government. Zhou Hao could have guessed without Mr. Zhao saying it. At that time, He Hongsen must not be willing to let go of those "domestic" people.
"Big customers" and the huge profits it brought to the casino rejected the central government's request.
Sure enough, Mr. Zhao sighed: "If a businessman only knows how to seek profit, cannot distinguish between right and wrong, and even unscrupulously extracts the interests of the people, it will be difficult for him to achieve good results in the end."
Zhou Hao was a little surprised. With these words of Mr. Zhao, the outcome of the He family was almost doomed. Zhou Hao finally knew why in his previous life, after Macau returned to China, the SAR government immediately opened up gambling rights. In addition to breaking the
In addition to the He family's monopoly position, they also clearly have the intention to suppress the He family.
After thinking about this, Zhou Hao followed the trend and said to Mr. Zhao: "Godfather, I think the reason why the He family is so domineering is because the He family has the sole gambling rights in Macau and has formed a monopoly.
I think, if the Macau government were to let the Macau government open gambling houses..."
Before Zhou Hao finished speaking, Mr. Zhao interrupted him with a smile: "Hehehe, it's a little early to talk about these things now. Nian, you should take care of your own business first. Also, don't jump too high.
It's always bad to draw too much attention."
Zhou Hao immediately realized that it was actually very sensitive for him to talk to Mr. Zhao about opening up gambling rights, especially now that Macau has not really returned. Even if the central government has really decided on ways to open up gambling rights and break the monopoly, it is absolutely confidential.
, can’t leak even a little bit. And
I believe some people in the central government have noticed Zhou Hao's concern about the He family this time. Mr. Zhao used to beat Asia Television to remind Zhou Hao to restrain himself and not to be too aggressive. Who would have thought that Zhou Hao would do this again now?
One thing, if you don't want to be in the limelight, it won't work.
However, Zhou Hao could also hear that Mr. Zhao didn't mean to blame himself too much in his words, so he felt relieved a little.
After chatting with the old man for a while, Zhou Hao ended the call. He Xueyun, who was sitting next to him, also asked nervously: "Yes, is it Mr. Zhao?"
Zhou Hao nodded, and He Xueyun said uneasily: "He knows about me and you? Did he, did he blame you?"
"No, my godfather still loves me very much." Zhou Hao hugged He Xueyun on his lap, put his hands on her waist, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of what your godfather will think of you, listen.
My eldest brother said that my godfather was quite romantic when he was young, so he still wouldn’t blame me for this kind of thing.”
Having said that, Zhou Hao is actually a little worried. Admittedly, the old man has no objection to his philandering. After all, this is a common problem among men. The only difference is whether they have strength or not. But this is because the old man doesn't know about Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin.
In the case of a relationship, if the old man knew that his beloved daughter was also Zhou Hao's pillow, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so indulgent towards Zhou Hao.
Naturally, Zhou Hao would not tell He Xueyun these concerns to prevent her from thinking wildly.
Sure enough, He Xueyun breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing Zhou Hao say that the old man didn't care about this. He moved over to rub Zhou Hao's ears and temples affectionately, and gently rubbed his face. The tenderness and sweetness in his eyes were enough to make any iron-clad person
All the men with good hearts turn into soft fingers.
"Um...Hao...stop making trouble, it's still...it's still daytime..." He Xueyun twisted and said after noticing that Zhou Hao's hand had penetrated through the hem of his clothes to take out the softness on his chest.
.
"By the way, Xueyun, what are your plans for the future? You can't really be that kind of yellow-faced woman who stays at home, cooks and does laundry every day."
He Xueyun leaned her head on Zhou Hao's chest and said softly: "Don't you like it when I am your yellow-faced woman?"
"I like it, but I don't want to bury your talent like this." Zhou Hao hugged the beauty in his arms and said, "I know your talent is no worse than any man. If I really trap you at home and become a yellow-faced woman,
, I’m afraid I’ll be punished by God.”
He Xueyun was moved by Zhou Hao's words, because most men, especially those who are successful, don't like their women to appear in public. For them, women should stay at home, cook and take care of their children.
Even if their wives are more capable than themselves, those men will become jealous and force their wives to stay at home.
He Xueyun smiled at Zhou Hao and asked: "Then what do you want me to do? Tell me, I will do whatever you want me to do."
"I remember you studied financial analysis and statistics in London," Zhou Hao said.
"Yeah." He Xueyun nodded: "Mainly econometrics and capital markets, and some other economic subjects. What? Do you want me to help you with financial accounting?"
Zhou Hao smiled and shook his head: "Isn't it unfair to ask you to be a financial accountant? I want to give full play to your talent."
Then, Zhou Hao took He Xueyun to the headquarters of "Galaxy Investment Company" located in the Landmark Plaza in Central.
He Xueyun often comes to Landmark for shopping, but he never knew that there would be such an investment company in Landmark. At the same time, he was shocked because the office of "Galaxy" occupies an entire floor, and Landmark's office rents are notoriously high.
It is expensive, reaching hundreds of millions every year. It is impossible for an investment company of this size to remain unknown in Hong Kong.
He Xueyun was even more surprised when she went inside and saw the analysts and operators of different nationalities and races. She knew how much money was needed to recruit so many foreign employees, and connections in the government were also essential.
Moreover, as a professional in finance, she discovered after a brief observation that these operators and analysts are the best in the industry, and any employee here is a highly sophisticated talent competing for the top spot in investment companies.
Behind one of the female operators, seeing the data displayed on the computer screen in front of her, He Xueyun couldn't help but exclaimed: "One person can operate a transaction volume worth more than 600 million US dollars?"
After turning around for a few more times, He Xueyun saw that the transaction volume controlled by each operator here was in the hundreds of millions. He Xueyun had only done simulation models to control financial transactions of this scale.
Only now did she know that the scale of "Galaxy Investment Company" was much larger than it appeared.
"Hao, here...here is..." He Xueyun was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear and looked at Zhou Hao blankly.
Zhou Hao smiled and said: "This is one of my companies, and it is also my largest source of funds."
"What?" He Xueyun was even more surprised. Originally, she only thought that Zhou Hao was at most one of the shareholders of this investment company.
"Most of the investments made by my company, Galaxy, are financial, including stock markets, futures, oil, gold, crops and other futures, and they are not limited to a certain region." Zhou Hao smiled at He Xueyun: "
But I have a lot of things to deal with, and I can't manage this 'Galaxy' all the time. My sister used to take care of it for me, but now she has to help me look after the domestic 'Tianhe Beverage Group' and it's hard to be distracted, so I
