Chapter 59: Business Conspiracy? You've watched too much TVB!
"The first question is, acquiring a stake in Caesars Palace, was it your idea to suggest this to your company?"
Lorraine nodded.
"Secondly, you took the initiative to make a move, and you're interested in Qian Baiwan's money. Is it because your conflict with his son Qian Hu has escalated, and you want to take the initiative? By the way, doing something for the family business, if luck is good, maybe even Caesar's palace can be taken down?"
Lorraine snapped her fingers: "A Yao Ge, clever!"
The wolf dog suddenly realized, and at the same time felt a little sympathy for Qian Hu, who was known as the "Black Way Young Master": Provoking Lin Ge like this, you're really unlucky. You're still jumping around in school, while others have already started plotting against your father.
But then again, this is quite a challenging project.
"Da Qiang Ge also chimed in at this time: 'Luo Da Shao, I have a question to ask you too, it's quite important.'"
"Big Brother Qiang, you say."
"What you just said, if I didn't mishear, should be considered as business secrets, right? Why choose us? Aren't you afraid that Wolf Dog and I will sell you out? After all, we are older than you, more worldly, and we haven't known each other for long, yet you trust us so easily?"
Lorraine smiled: "I've never misjudged anyone, and if this works out, you and Aye will both benefit."
The two cast their eyes towards Lorraine.
"This benefit is that you will forever become friends of the Luo Group, don't forget, if I didn't die, the future chairman position of the Luo Group should be mine."
Da Qiang Ge and Lang Gou A Yao paused for a moment, then smiled. Lorraine's words conveyed two meanings: first, she trusted them. In this materialistic society, trust was hard to come by. Second, Lorraine said they would forever be friends of the Luo Corporation, which was an honor not anyone could have. If they could start building a good relationship with the Luo family from Lorraine's generation, their descendants would become lifelong friends, which would bring prosperity to their families.
Many times, there is no need to overthink why some friends get together, whether it's due to deep emotions or material basis. This is relative and complementary, because humans are emotional animals, and few people only consider emotions without considering material aspects, nor will everyone prioritize material things while ignoring emotions. One-sided extremes rarely appear in reality, they're just plot twists in movies or TV soap operas. Even spending time with an animal can create feelings, let alone with a human being.
"Alright, I understand what you mean. When are we going?" Daqiang asked after clinking glasses a few times.
Lorraine glanced at her watch: "Now, do you have the right to enter Caesar's underground casino?"
Big Brother Qiang and Wolf Dog A Yao nodded in unison: "As I said, you are a high-ranking VIP, it's okay. You've come to the right place, ordinary people can't get in."
The three of them put down their drinks and Da Qiang Ge casually called out at the Moonlight Bar before they all rushed off to Caesar's Palace.
At the entrance of Caesar's Imperial Palace, Lorraine looked up and couldn't help but secretly admire. It has to be said that this Qian Baiwan is indeed a luxurious master, just the decoration cost of the gate alone is enough to make people gasp in amazement. A golden glow faced him, rich and majestic, dazzling neon lights flashing before his eyes, making them ache. The parking lot outside was filled with BMWs, Audis, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsches, most of which had out-of-town license plates. It's worth noting that this Zhongzhou City is not a particularly developed first- or second-tier city, to be honest, there aren't many locals who can afford to spend money like this.
Luo Lin had now completely taken on the air of a wealthy second-generation heir, swaggering and strutting along at the front, with Da Qiang Ge and Lang Gou A Yao following closely behind him.
Today, Lorraine came here just to put on a show, and Daqiang Ge and Lang Gou are quite cooperative.
"Welcome!" Outside the golden gate, two hostesses in neat and fitted uniforms stood, with a glance, wearing high heels that added at least Lorin's height, estimated to be more than enough to be a model, soft and tender voice, sweet and gentle tone, as if they could squeeze out water with a pinch.
When the three of them went in, Da Qiang and Lang Gou brushed their VIP cards in hand, then beckoned the waiter over, pulled out a whole 10,000 yuan in cash, and shouted: "Get Luo Da Shao a VIP card!"
When Da Qiang's loud voice was heard, a fat man in a suit and tie came up from the other side, but couldn't hide the awkwardness on his body: "Hey? Isn't this Da Qiangzi? Ha, Wolf Dog is also here, rare guest, rare guest! I said you guys haven't come to support us for so long, brother, I was worried. What's the plan for tonight?" He even winked at the two of them ambiguously at the end.
"Take a good look at this guy," Da Qiang said quietly to Lorraine beside him. "This is Fei Ying, the big shot under Qian Baiwan, who has been following Old Qian for over a decade. He's the general manager of the main hall and is in charge of various departments. In Caesar's Palace, he's second only to one person and above everyone else."
Luo Lin nodded, facing the fat eagle in front of him, with a proud attitude, the three words "rich second generation" seemed to be clearly engraved on his face.
"Oh? Who is this?" Fat Eagle initially didn't pay much attention to the slender and tall, refined-looking young man in front of him. Seeing that Da Qiang and Lang Gou were both showing respect towards him, he asked.
Haha laughed loudly: "Feiying, let me introduce you, this is Luo Dashao of the Luo Group, he's here to have some fun with us brothers today."
Lao Da Shao of Luozi Group?
Fatty Eagle's brow furrowed for a moment, then his face returned to its usual smiling expression: "Ah, it's Young Master Luo! I didn't expect you to come. What program do you want to arrange for tonight? Daqiangzi and Lang Gou have a good relationship with me, if there's anything you need, just let me know and I'll try my best to satisfy you!"
Lorraine rubbed her hands together: "I want to gamble a couple of rounds."
The fat eagle's face paused slightly, and he turned to the two big men behind him, waving his hand: "Come on, this is Mr. Luo of the Luo Group, take our Mr. Luo downstairs for some fun! Treat him well, or you'll be the ones who are asked!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The two responded in unison, then respectfully led Lorraine towards the elevator.
The wolf dog and Da Qiang also followed.
"Hey, Da Qiangzi, wait a minute, I've got something to tell you." Fat Eagle called out to Da Qiang, stopping him.
Da Qiang's face revealed a sly smile, but when he turned around, he had an astonished look: "Huh? What about Feiying?" As he spoke, he also waved his hand at the wolf dog, "A Yao, go follow Luo Da Shao, I'll be there in a bit."
Walking up to Fei Ying's face, Da Qiang asked: "Speak, what's going on?"
"Come on, let's go to my office and have a smoke."
Da Qiang Ge and Fei Ying sat in the manager's office, with cigarette smoke swirling around their hands. Da Qiang chuckled and said: "What's wrong with you today? You're being so mysterious?"
"Come on, Daqiangzi, don't pretend you don't know anything. What's the deal with Luo Dashi from the Luo Group and you hanging out with Wolf Dog? Don't tell me you're not aware that Boss Qian is currently in a competitive period with the Luo Group? Or did you really not know that the Luo Group recently acquired shares of Caesar's Palace?"
"Ha! Of course, I know that. It's just a little over 10% of the shares. This young master Luo is a complete spendthrift, always looking for excitement and playing around. Now he's started learning from his dad to buy up shares and play at business. Don't worry, Fat Eagle, I know what you're worried about. But let me tell you, it's all unnecessary. This kid is just a spoiled rich boy playing with stocks. You go back and tell Old Money not to take this kid seriously, what competition period? Are you kidding me? Do you think it's worth getting worked up over some young master who's just playing around with buying up a tiny bit of shares?"
"Playing tickets?" Fat Eagle was taken aback and repeated.
"Is that so? Don't tell me you really think it's the Luo Group competing with Caesar Palace? ... If they were competing, wouldn't they have stopped after acquiring less than 10% of the shares? The Luo Group is our city's leading enterprise, if they want to acquire outside scattered shares, I'm afraid they can easily swallow them in one bite?" Da Qiang Ge's face showed a look of surprise, "Hey, Fei Ying, don't tell me that even Money Brother thinks this is business competition?"
"How could that be! Brother Qian is wise and astute, his eyes are like those of a fire-eye golden eagle, how could he not see through it? This... is just my concern!"
Dà Qiáng smiled and remained noncommittal.
After a slight pause, Fei Ying still had some misgivings and tentatively said: "I'm just worried... this won't be a smoke bomb set off by the Luo Corporation, will it? Is it impossible that his old man taught him to do something like this?"
Haha, Big Strong burst out laughing: "I'm telling you, Fat Eagle, what's with you today? You're acting like a woman! Let me tell you the truth. This Luo Lin Luo is a complete prodigal son. I've known him for two years now, and every time he comes to our bar, he spends at least this much!" He said, holding up one finger.
"Ten thousand?" Fat Eagle asked.
"That's not possible, but let me remind you that was during his freshman year of high school, and at that time, his parents were quite strict. Paused for a moment, Da Qiang continued, "Now he's a senior in high school, about to graduate, and playing even more wildly. He's started to hang out with the wrong crowd, and if you investigate, you'll know that recently, he took down Long Gouzi from the film industry. He's ruthless, but at least he's generous, and his spending is quite lavish. You said his dad taught him this? That's impossible. At his age, which kid isn't rebellious? His parents can't control him, so how could they stop him from hanging out with socialites like me and Lang Gou? And you know as well as I do that his parents have been working on projects in other provinces for a long time now. He's far away from them, and he's spending money freely. Now tell me, is this just playing around or a business conspiracy? Don't be ridiculous, Fei Ying Gege, do you think this is a movie? Have you been watching too many TVB dramas?"
