Chapter 2114: Chapter 1359: King of Halls? Gambling King!

"Take a look."

"At what?"

"The information on Moon City."

Such a concise Q&A.

Fang Qing was slightly taken aback, looking at Jiang Chen.

Boss Jiang acted as if nothing was happening, sitting down on the sofa.

"Sit."

Fang Qing resumed her normal expression, sat down, and took the information, "So fast?"

Boss Jiang smiled dismissively and picked up his glass of water.

Fang Qing looked down and flipped through the information.

"Zhong Xiaoye?"

"You know him?"

"Yeah, I’ve heard of him. Nicknamed Nine-headed Bird, he’s the investor in many movies. A female celebrity willingly became his lover and had two sons for him, one son for a hundred million."

"You actually pay attention to gossip news, huh."

Jiang Chen acted like he had discovered a new continent.

Fang Qing turned over the cover photo, "He’s the boss behind Moon City?"

"Yeah."

Jiang Chen had spent half an hour going through the entire document just now, and even he was quite moved.

No wonder he was able to quickly replace his elder brother Yu Guangrong after he was imprisoned and gain the favor of the He Family. This Nine-headed Bird is indeed a rare talent.

Bai Haoran’s information was very detailed, far beyond what media reports would suggest. Like many prominent figures, the rising star in Haojiang that caught Boss Jiang’s attention had a very poor childhood. He simply quit school and went to work as a croupier at a casino.

A croupier is someone who brings clients to the casino. Later, because of his cleverness, he was noticed by Yu Guangrong and became his little brother, taking on what many in Haojiang at the time considered the ideal job—Stacking code.

Stacking code isn’t just an intermediary between casinos and gamblers. The main way to make a profit is to lend money to gamblers when they run out of cash to continue playing, taking a 20% cut. In other words, if a gambler borrows 10,000, they actually get 8,000, known in slang as "head-chopping interest." But this Zhong Xiaoye was different; he didn’t take the head-chopping interest. If a gambler borrowed 10,000, they got 10,000, but when the gambler placed a bet, he would take 20%.

There’s no essential difference between the two methods, but the experience feels entirely different to the customers, especially when a gambler is desperate. Receiving 10,000 instead of 8,000 makes a huge impact, which is why Zhong Xiaoye stood out among Yu Guangrong’s many followers. With his ingenious flexibility, Zhong Xiaoye grasped a vast amount of client networks, and his approach was actually quite in line with the tone Boss Jiang set when he staked his claim in Haojiang.

Of course.

Back then, Yu Guangrong was still around, and Boss Jiang hadn’t even heard of Zhong Xiaoye’s name. It can only be said that smart people often think alike.

Fang Qing also read very carefully, but due to her professional skills, her reading speed was somewhat more efficient than Boss Jiang’s, skimming at least three lines in one glance.

"Five hundred billion annual turnover? Is this data accurate?"

"Maybe not so precise, but it shouldn’t be off by much."

Jiang Chen was also quite amazed when he saw it; with the entire Haojiang’s annual revenue being what it was, even though turnover doesn’t equal revenue, this number is quite staggering.

What does five hundred billion mean?

Here’s an analogy.

It’s more than the total annual income of Shen Zhou’s lottery.

No matter how clever this Nine-headed Bird is, he can’t change his humble grassroots origin. Running a casino in Haojiang requires a gambling license, which he certainly doesn’t have. Just like his brother, collaborating with casinos to rent VIP rooms in casinos wouldn’t result in such terrifying turnover. Unable to open his own casino in Haojiang, he carved out a new path by seizing online opportunities early on, acquiring online gambling licenses in several Southeast Asian countries, and building a full-fledged online gambling platform, focusing on online operations.

At his level, if the big shots in Haojiang also recognized the online opportunity, he would be left with nothing, just as Hippo was the first to venture into e-commerce back in the day.

The casino hotels in Haojiang are always bustling and glittering. The elite in Haojiang never paid attention to online gambling, thinking no one would gamble online.

Gambling thrives on atmosphere, what excitement can there be in online gambling?

But those top echelons in Haojiang, stuck in their habitual thinking, overlooked one point: although online gambling lacks atmosphere, it’s convenient and can be played anytime, anywhere.

So, with a lack of competition, Zhong Xiaoye advanced triumphantly in the online gambling path, thriving like a fish in water. Within two years, the number of users grew rapidly, and the online gambling platform he managed was officially renamed—Moon City.

"How did you get hold of this information?"

Fang Qing looked up.

There’s no exaggeration in saying that this file is so detailed that even the police might not have it.

"I have some connections with the He Family."

Jiang Chen spoke ambiguously.

"Does Moon City also have shares from the He Family?"

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, "It probably doesn’t. It’s written that this Zhong Xiaoye only has a partnership with the He Family. His Moon City has obtained a massive amount of customer data, knowing exactly who has money, who the real big clients are, who’s borrowing money to play. It’s crystal clear to him. So he has many ways to draw users from online to offline and make money together with the He Family, but with one condition, which is for the He Family to lease the VIP rooms in their casinos to him."

Knowing Fang Qing hasn’t been to Macau and likely hasn’t stepped into a casino, Jiang Chen further explained: "Casinos in Haojiang are divided into two types, one being the main floor and the other being the VIP rooms. The purpose of the main floor is not to make money, but to create an atmosphere, serving gamblers with good food and drinks, just like free players in online games, providing emotional value. The real profit for casinos comes from the VIP rooms. Ordinary people can’t get in, and most of the clients are top high rollers, including wealthy businessmen, the second generation of rich, and others who are playing with money that isn’t theirs."
