Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

This surprised Lin Hao a little. He didn't expect that she would also be there. He Chaoqiong is the eldest daughter of the gambling king and his second wife, Lan Qiongying. She is known as the queen of Macau gambling. In 2011, she became the richest woman in Hong Kong with a net worth of 5 billion US dollars. It can be said that she is also a strong woman.

However, she is not the queen of Macau gambling yet. What makes the public know her is her relationship with Danny Chan and Xu Jinheng.

In 1981, the 19-year-old He Chaoqiong was in her prime and had just entered the artist training class of Hong Kong TVB to learn acting. Due to her excellent conditions and hard work, she soon passed the audition and got a small role - a guest appearance in the TV series "Breakthrough" starring Danny Chan. This cooperation made her meet Danny Chan and they have been inseparable since then.

In 1985, Danny Chan invited He Chaoqiong to be the heroine of the MV of his song "Deeply in Love with You". After this work, Danny Chan confessed to the public without any reservation that He Chaoqiong was his confidante. This news caused a sensation in Hong Kong.

September 7, 1988 was the birthday party for Danny Chan when he was 30 years old. At the party, He Chaoqiong sat beside him, as if she was a hostess. Such a move undoubtedly deepened the outside world's speculation about the relationship between the two.

In the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s, Danny Chan achieved remarkable achievements in the film and television industry and the music industry, becoming a popular and popular young actor; and He Chaoqiong also came from a wealthy family and had a noble temperament.

However, this relationship was strongly opposed by He Chaoqiong's father, Stanley Ho. In that era, marriage often needed to take into account many factors such as family interests. Despite this, He Chaoqiong still firmly stated: "I know my identity and the responsibilities I should bear."

On January 8, 1991, Pansy Ho, the daughter of gambling king Stanley Ho, and Xu Jinheng, the son of shipping tycoon Xu Shixun, held a grand and eye-catching wedding. This wedding was hailed as the "Wedding of the Century" and cost up to HK$20 million, which shocked the entire Hong Kong and Macau region.

At the wedding, the two dresses worn by Pansy Ho were amazing. One of the dresses was designed by Fere, the chief designer of Christian Dior, and its luxury is self-evident; the other was a Chinese-style gold-thread embroidered gown. This gorgeous dress took eight months to sew carefully, showing endless dignity and splendor.

However, the marriage lasted only a few years. On August 30, 2000, Pansy Ho announced to the media that she and Xu Jinheng had decided to end their marriage. But surprisingly, the divorce procedure was delayed for a full seven years.

Until 2006, Pansy Ho claimed that she had not actually signed a divorce agreement with Xu Jinheng; and in June 2007, when Pansy Ho was interviewed by the media, she once again confirmed that she and Xu Jinheng had not officially divorced. At the same time, it was rumored that Xu Jinheng and Michelle Reis secretly married in the United States.

In her short marriage with Xu Jinheng, Pansy Ho once said: "He likes to play happily with friends, does not fight for power, does not compare, and does not like socializing. But my work has become a pressure between the two of us. Especially when I joined the company, my heart changed dramatically, and I didn't know how to control the situation. At that time, my husband and I began to drift apart." This relationship gradually broke down under the influence of family interests.

There are various rumors about the reasons for their divorce. One is that Pansy Ho can't forget Danny Chan, and the other is that Xu Jinheng is too fickle. After getting married, he still spends money outside and often has various scandals.

Of course, these are all rumors, and Lin Hao is not clear, and it has nothing to do with Lin Hao.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I have heard of your name for some time, and I finally met you today." He Chaoqiong smiled and shook hands with Linhao.

"Haha, it's all false reputation." Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, please sit down, let's eat and talk." Pansy Ho pointed to the dining table and said.

Lin Hao nodded. After the three of them sat down, the table was already filled with all kinds of delicacies, including high-end dishes such as lobster, abalone, shark fin, and some red wine and white wine.

Pansy Ho signaled the waiter, and the red wine on the table was immediately uncapped and poured a glass for each of the three people.

"Mr. Lin, try this bottle of red wine, it tastes very good." Pansy Ho raised her glass and said to Lin Hao with a smile.

Lin Hao picked up the glass, smelled it, and then took a sip, praising it: "Well, it has a mellow taste and rich aroma. It's really good."

Pansy Ho smiledHe smiled and continued, "Mr. Lin, it was actually my idea to invite you out this time. In addition to my aunt's Hedong Garden, I also want to do business with you."

Lin Hao put down his glass, first looked at He Mianjun, then looked at He Chaoqiong seriously, and asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"

He Chaoqiong was silent for a while, as if she was sorting out her thoughts, and then slowly said, "I believe you also know that in 2002, in order to introduce a competitive mechanism, the Macau government decided to distribute and dilute the gambling franchise, which means that it will no longer be dominated by one company, but will be jointly operated by multiple companies. As a result, new companies such as Galaxy Entertainment and Wynn Resorts have emerged one after another. Gambling companies join.

As a result, the pattern of Macau's gaming industry has undergone major changes, from the original monopoly to the current three-way split. My father, Mr. Stanley Ho, owns Shun Tak Group and SJM Holdings, and their market share is facing a crisis of decline. Because of the emergence of competitors, the gaming business that originally belonged to the Ho family has been challenged unprecedentedly. "

Lin Hao frowned slightly. Lin Hao still knew about this matter, but why did he find me? I couldn't help at all. I didn't have any casinos under my name, but Trump Group, the king of understanding, had a lot of casino businesses under its name.

"Ms. Ho, you should know that although I have a lot of business, I don't involve gaming. I shouldn't be able to help with the Ho family's gaming business?" Lin Hao said.

"Mr. Lin may have misunderstood. I don't want Mr. Lin to help the He family's gambling business, but I want to do business with Mr. Lin myself."

He Chaoqiong's words surprised Lin Hao even more. Lin Hao understood what she said. It was she who came to Lin Hao, not the He family. This was interesting. What she said just now made Lin Hao think that she wanted to help the He family.

"I don't know if Mr. Lin knows about Macau's casino operating license, or gambling license. After it was liberalized in 2002, there are three main and three secondary licenses. The three main licenses belong to: SJM Holdings founded by my father, Galaxy Entertainment of Lui Che Woo, and Wynn Group of the United States.

These three gambling licenses have been determined and cannot be changed at present. There are still three secondary licenses to compete for. I just want to win one of them with Mr. Lin. I wonder if Mr. Lin is interested?

Macau is the place with the most gamblers and the largest gambling money among the three largest gambling cities in the world. The annual turnover is over one trillion and the profit is over one hundred billion. There are nearly 30 casinos in this tiny place, which exceeds the other two gambling cities, Las Vegas and Monte Carlo in Monaco.

As long as you win one of the gambling licenses, it will definitely bring huge profits."

He Chaoqiong looked at Lin Hao, wanting to see the change in Lin Hao's expression, but Lin Hao had no expression and no change on his face, which made her a little disappointed. In her opinion, anyone would be uneasy when facing a gambling license, but Lin Hao really made her a little confused and didn't know what Lin Hao was thinking.

In 1989, she started her own business and established a public relations company named "Tianji". From a small company, it has become the number one public relations company in Hong Kong today. In 1995, she officially entered the family business and served as a director of her father's Hong Kong Shun Tak Group.

After so many years, she has been living under the protection of her father, which is not what she wants. It happened that Macau opened gambling licenses in 2002, and Galaxy Entertainment and Wynn Group were established in recent years.

She was a little eager to set up her own gaming company, but it is not so easy to set up a gaming company. In addition to having strong funds, you also need mature experience in operating casinos.

Although she has worked in SJM for a long time, the process is very familiar, and the experience is also considered to be sufficient, but it still lacks a very strong foreign aid. It happened that Lin Hao Lin Hao made a big fuss in Hong Kong during this period and came into her sight.

After reading Lin Hao's information in detail, she felt that Lin Hao was the powerful foreign aid she was looking for. Not only was he financially strong, but he also had connections in the mainland. She also found out that Lin Hao's girlfriend Ivanka's family also ran a casino in the United States. Although it was not large in scale, it was very famous.

She had previously sought cooperation with MGM, but the other party's conditions were too harsh and she could not accept it at all.

"Where did the gambling license come from?" Lin Hao thought for a while and asked. Lin Hao actually didn't have much interest in casinos, but since others said so, he had to ask.

"My father has a secondary card in his hand. He already has a main card. There is no point in keeping this secondary card. If Mr. Lin is willing to cooperate with me, I can convince my father to sell this secondary card to us."

Hearing this, Lin Hao couldn't help but look at He Chaoqiong again. Is this going to set up a new business and compete with his father?It's a competition. Lin Hao remembered that in the original history, He Chaoqiong cooperated with MGM to establish MGM Grand, and He Chaoqiong served as chairman and executive director.

Now, because of his own history, it has changed again. If he agrees, will there be no MGM?

Should he agree? But it's not good to be associated with the casino. After thinking about it, he said to He Chaoqiong.

"This matter is a bit sudden. I need to think about it. Can I give you a reply in a few days?"

He Chaoqiong, who was expecting Lin Hao to agree, was a little disappointed after hearing Lin Hao's words, but it was reasonable. Such a big thing naturally needs to be considered.

"This is what I should do. I am too abrupt. I look forward to cooperating with Mr. Lin." He Chaoqiong raised his glass and said with a smile.

Lin Hao picked up the glass and clinked it together. Then the atmosphere in the box changed immediately. No longer talking about the casino, He Mianjun, who had been silent, took the initiative to take over the topic.

"Mr. Lin wants to buy Ho Tung Gardens. Can I ask what it is for?"

"I have a lot of business in Hong Kong. I may come here often in the future. I don't have a residence in Hong Kong yet, so I want to buy it and live there myself." Lin Hao replied.

Hearing Lin Hao's words, He Mianjun smiled and said: "Ho Tung Gardens has been passed down from my grandfather to me for nearly a hundred years. After the baptism of war and several generations of changes, this garden has changed from a mansion to a precious historical building. I hope that Ho Tung Gardens can be passed down in the hands of Mr. Lin in the future. Of course, this is just my suggestion. Mr. Lin can decide how to deal with it."

Hearing this, Lin Hao was happy. This means that he agreed to sell it to him. He came here tonight just for this matter. Although the rhythm was disrupted by He Chaoqiong's casino, fortunately the result was good.

"Ms. Ho, don't worry. I will renovate Ho Tung Gardens after buying it, and let this garden that witnessed history be passed down."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Neither of them talked about the price. Someone will naturally deal with it later. It has been reported before, 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, which sounds very high, but compared with the 5.1 billion in the future, it is still very cost-effective. Moreover, if Ho Tung Gardens is demolished and rebuilt into a high-rise building, at least 7 billion Hong Kong dollars can be earned.

Although she has promised Ho Mianjun to preserve it well, once the contract is signed, Ho Tung Gardens will be hers. If it is really demolished and rebuilt, she can't do anything.

The atmosphere of the dinner is still very pleasant. The three of them talked a lot. After the dinner, Lin Hao returned to the arranged room and stayed at the Lisboa Hotel tonight.

.....

In the room, four secretaries have been waiting for Lin Hao. Seeing Lin Hao come back, they immediately surrounded him happily.

"Boss, you're back."

"Well, have you had dinner?" Lin Hao had eaten, but the four secretaries didn't know.

"I've already eaten, it's a bit boring, how about we go to the casino?" Li Yinxin said, the four of them had been waiting for Lin Hao, it was really boring, she had originally proposed to go to the casino, but the other three said they wanted to wait for Lin Hao, 3:1 she could only wait.

Seeing Lin Hao coming back, she immediately said that after hearing what Li Yinxin said, Lin Hao also wanted to play a few games. In his previous life, Lin Hao had been to Macau several times, but he only played a few games, and he had no interest in this. Fortunately, he had no interest, otherwise the Lin family would have lost faster in his previous life, and they would not have finished worshipping the family until Lin Hao started his business.

"Okay, let's go and have a look, it just so happens that I also want to play a few games." Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Great." Li Yinxin was so happy that she couldn't stay in the room for a whole night.
