"Good. This is a kill - two - birds - with - one - stone approach." Jason couldn't believe that this beautiful woman, who had initially seemed to be just a pretty face, had such brilliant ideas and could solve numerous problems simultaneously. "Lin, then you go and talk to your deputy director comrade. Also, see if you can use your connections to bring in the leaders from the health department, the industrial and commercial bureau, and the tax bureau into our shareholding and dividend group." Jason couldn't help but look at this woman. Maybe she would be a great asset in his business in the future.
Lily Zhang also noticed that Jason was looking at her. She felt uncomfortable as his gaze seemed to linger on her for a bit too long.
"Pervert. What a repulsive man. If my cousin hadn't asked me to come and assist, I wouldn't have come. Just you wait and see how I'll handle you." Lily Zhang gave Jason a fierce glare, her eyes seeming to convey her anger as if she wanted to make him pay for his rude behavior.
"However, I must make it clear in advance. There isn't a single cent in the hotel's accounts at present. For such a large hotel, you need to inject at least three million as start - up capital." Lily Zhang didn't show any kindness to Jason. Anyway, she just found him extremely annoying.
"Okay. No problem. I'll provide you with three million within three days." Jason shrugged.
"Are you truly going to be a hands - off employer? Then I'll be in charge of the hotel's personnel in the future. I'll only need to report to you regarding the hiring decisions." Lily Zhang didn't believe there was such a boss in the world.
"Really. As long as you make money, that's all. I don't care about other hotel management issues." Jason promised Lily Zhang. For a talented person, one should be bold enough to use them. Why bother with so many details as long as the business makes money? Besides, he didn't know much about hotel management. Let Lin and his cousin handle it.
"Okay, boss. I'll start working then." Lily Zhang was a doer. She immediately ran to the front desk.
Jason watched Lily Zhang's beautiful figure as she bustled about, and he was captivated. She was a headstrong girl with a strong personality. However, it was precisely this type of person who possessed the drive and courage to make progress in their undertakings. Jason knew he had made the right choice. Lin and Lily Zhang would surely be great assets to him in the future.
"Boss." Lin saw that Jason was staring at his cousin's figure and knew that things were going well.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Jason turned around and asked.
"All of you, go and help. Remember what I said just now." Lin said to the brothers beside him. Then he walked closer to Jason and said, "Boss, you're so rich. You're taking out another three million."
"I only have tens of thousands of dollars with me at present. I don't have three million." Jason said truthfully. It seemed that he had to find another way to get money, maybe through some not - so - legitimate means.
"Absolutely not! You must be joking." Lin exclaimed upon hearing that Jason had no money. This was no joke. How could he open a hotel without money?
"But I'll have money tomorrow." Jason said with a smile.
"Tomorrow?" Lin felt a bit strange when he heard that.
"Yes. Do you remember what I was doing when you first met me?" Jason recalled the events of that night.
"Lin remembered that Jason had been gambling that night. Although he didn't see Jason gambling that night, he heard from other brothers that Jason won over a million dollars not long after entering the casino.
"Don't tell me... you're planning to win three million in the casino?" Lin asked in a low voice. This kind of thing couldn't be publicized.
"Yes. I'm going tomorrow night." Jason seemed to see the money already coming towards him.
"Then which casino are you planning to go to? Is it Big Bull's casino? Won't he recognize you if you go there?" Although it was hard to recognize Jason on the street, if he went to Big Bull's casino to gamble, the people in the casino would sense something after just a few bets. This was what Lin was worried about.
Seeing Lin's worried look, Jason smiled and said, "I'm not that stupid. I'm planning to go to a casino in the city. Lin, do you know where the biggest casino in the city is?" Jason patted Lin on the shoulder.
"Boss, let's go upstairs to the manager's office to talk. It's not very convenient to talk here." Lin looked around and then led Jason upstairs.
"Boss, this will be your office in the future." Lin led Jason into the manager's office. This manager's office was too big. It should be divided into a smaller room, and the extra space could be used for other purposes. Jason sat on the soft armchair. He felt like this was a dream. If it were a week ago, he wouldn't have believed it even if he was beaten to death. But since his uncle showed up, his life had completely changed.
"I must become stronger, make myself powerful, and not be bullied by others." Jason thought to himself.
"Boss, there is a biggest casino in the city called the Ever - Happy Casino. It's said to be one of the largest casinos in our province. Businessmen often go there with large sums of money to gamble. Its daily turnover can reach tens of millions. The gambling methods inside are modeled after those in Macau casinos, thus it's known as 'Little Macau' on the street." Lin had been to the Ever - Happy Casino as a bodyguard for a boss before. The decoration inside was nice, and it was a bit public.
"Do you think if I win eight million, it will draw too much attention? " Jason had learned his lesson from last time and became more cautious. It's not good to offend people on the street. They're all desperadoes who would do anything for money.
"If it's a few million, it shouldn't draw too much attention. At most, they'll just keep you under surveillance." Lin thought for a while, touching his chin.
"Okay. Eight million then." Jason said readily. You can't go to the same casino twice after winning once. If you do, you'll definitely attract attention. Jason was clear about this. So he had already thought about the limit of winning money at the Ever - Happy Casino.
"Boss, are you certain that you can win?" Lin was a bit skeptical. When they gambled, it usually depended on luck. It seemed that Jason was so certain that he could win eight million tomorrow, as if the money was already his and they were just discussing how much to take. Crazy!
"I'm certain that I can win." Jason was highly confident in this respect. "Lin, bring a few intelligent brothers along and accompany me tomorrow."
"No problem. I'll bring Xiao Hao and a few others. And we'll take weapons with us." Lin saw that Jason was so confident, so he didn't object anymore. Anyway, Jason was different from others. That's why he regarded Jason as his boss. He hoped he hadn't misjudged. In the underworld, following the wrong boss could mean you'd never be able to turn things around for the rest of your life.
"Do you know how to drive?" Jason saw Lin nod and continued, "Then borrow a van tomorrow. If you can't borrow one, rent one. It'll be more convenient if we drive there ourselves. I'll use the remaining tens of thousands of dollars to bet for eight million tomorrow." Jason stood up and looked at the scenery outside, saying with great ambition.
"Yes. We'll win eight million." Lin was also inspired by Jason's ambition and involuntarily stood up, clenching his fists with excitement.
