Chapter 1102 Dispute over membership fees

Subsequently, Okamoto announced some regulations from the World Gambling Federation, mainly targeting the professional ethics of these large casinos.

For example, retaliation against large customers is not allowed - although this kind of thing exists in many places to varying degrees. Some casinos without moral integrity have even assassinated customers. The reason is that gamblers have won too much money in the casino and exceeded the psychological bottom line of the casino.

There are also some regulations, such as the full-time registered experts in casinos, who are like He Jingxin, and they cannot go to other casinos to play at will to avoid chaos within the gambling world; for example, to maintain the image of the entire gambling industry, and not anger the bottom line of the government and government authorities in the country and region, causing the government authorities to suppress or even eliminate the local gambling industry... and so on.

After all, these rules have positive significance and are also beneficial to the development of the casino itself. Although it is common for some casinos to secretly violate some regulations, on the surface, everyone abides by the corresponding regulations.

Therefore, the existence of the World Gambling Federation has its practical significance and has played a good role in coordinating and standardizing the development of the entire gambling industry. In this regard, Gao Longzang also expressed unconditional acceptance and was willing to sign and recognize it on the spot.

However, the last point Okamoto said made Gao Ryuzo unacceptable.

Okamoto sneered and said, "In addition, every large casino is a member unit of the Gambling Federation, so this 'member fee' is essential and is also the basic fee for maintaining the operation of the Federation. For each venue, your gambling ship and Lisboa Casino, each venue has to pay a membership fee of 5 million US dollars to the Federation every year."

Five million, US dollars!

Gambling boats and casinos add up to 10 million US dollars a year!

Although the casino industry is a big money-making business, ten million US dollars is not a small amount, which is equivalent to sixty million Chinese coins.

You should know that this is the annual "annual membership fee". Casinos are long-term businesses, so how can they close after a year or two? Even if Gao Longzang has been operating for ten years, will he have to pay 600 million Chinese coins?

This is too cruel!

Gao Longzang immediately expressed objection to this number. Because Gao Longzang still knew about the membership fee requirements.

At that time, everyone from the Oda family on the Longzang was indeed gone, but many of the managers of the Lisboa Casino stayed. Those senior executives, such as the financial director, still knew the standards for paying membership fees.

According to the World Gambling Federation, the membership fees paid by these large casinos range from one million US dollars to five million US dollars each year, mainly targeting the annual income status of the casinos and the size of the main operating areas.

Gao Longzang does not resist paying membership fees. After all, the Federation will also provide a lot of convenience for each venue, maintaining the normal operation of each casino, and helping you coordinate when something big happens... These are of course convenient conditions that membership should enjoy. Since you enjoy the convenience conditions, you have to pay some money, which is normal.

However, the price proposed by Okamoto is too high!

According to regulations, the Longzang gambling ship fully meets the standards of the "new casino", so it can only charge a standard of one million US dollars in the first three years;

As for the Lisboa Casino, although it has reached the strength of 4 million US dollars in annual fees, it may have been properly operated before, so it only pays 2 million US dollars a year.

The two venues combined should have only a membership fee of US$3 million. However, Okamoto asked Gao Ryuzo to pay 10 million US dollars!

Obviously, this is Okamoto using his authority to take revenge on his own.

"Sorry, this number is unacceptable. Especially the Longzang gambling ship, which has just been opened to my hands and has just been transferred to the new area of ​​Port City, which is considered a brand new gambling ship. As far as I know, the Federation stipulates that such venues will be paid according to the minimum standards in the past few years in order to support the development of the new venues."

Okamoto sneered proudly and said, "The Lisboa Casino and the Ryuzo casino are both operated in Asia, so I naturally have the right to make decisions. Do you think the Ryuzo is a new gambling ship? Sorry, it was Fujita and has been operating for many years, so I will not include it in the ranks of the new casino."

As he said that, Okamoto stared at Gao Longzang with a provocative look. The meaning was too obvious - I just want to play with you, what to do!

If you don’t pay the membership fee? OK, I’m so happy! At that time, you will not be a member of the World Gambling Federation and will not be protected by the rules of the Gambling Federation.

Gao Longzang really wanted to use his soles to measure how long Okamoto's face was. However, he finally held it back and dialed Song Jiannan's phone number outdoors.

"Uncle Song, Lisboa Casino can be called the world's top casino, but it only pays a membership fee of 2 million US dollars a year, and it seems that it is quite worthwhile."

On the other side of the phone, Song Jiannan laughed and said, "You boy! Why, can you be the representative of the World Gambling Federation? Is it a matter of blackmailing you to pay more membership fees?"

Oh, the old fox is smart enough, he guessed it all at once.

Gao Longzang did not hide it, but admitted it with a smile.

Song Jiannan smiled and said, "Who is the person coming? Is Okamoto a bastard? Don't worry about him, the Lisboa Casino will give them two million a year according to the old rules; as for your Longzang being a new market, one million a year is reasonable. Talking to him, if you can't reach an agreement, you won't be over him. Uncle, I'll ask you."

Gao Longzang was immediately very happy. Hearing this tone, it seemed that Song Jiannan was quite proud of his face.

Moreover, Gao Longzang knew that people like Song Jiannan would not brag. He dared to agree so easily, which means he had confidence.

So Gao Longzang returned indoors and said, "Sorry, Lisboa Casino has two million, and the Longzang has one million, that's all!"

Okamoto said angrily: "No! Each company has 5 million US dollars, no one dollar is missing! Unless you choose not to join the World Gambling Federation, you will not become a member of the Federation!"

This bastard is really in conflict with Gao Longzang. Since he has the power in his hands, this guy always wants to use it.

However, Gao Longzang refused to give in. He didn't even speak, just smoked without saying a word, his face full of disdain and indifference. This made Okamoto very angry.

But at this moment, a phone call came over, and Okamoto looked at the number and immediately answered it.

On the other side of the phone, it turned out to be the chairman of the World Gambling Federation and the top leader of the entire world gambling industry!

"Okamoto, the membership fee of the Lisboa Casino follows the old regulations, and the new gambling ship of the Longzang is one million US dollars a year, that's it."

Uh... Okamoto was stunned: "No, Lisboa Casino and Longzang are within my Asia, and I have the right to decide their membership payment standards!"
Chapter completed!
