Chapter Summary
I wonder if you would be interested in joining our casino?" Seeing that Liu Ning was about to go to sleep, Zheng Hua hadn't finished speaking yet. "Is your casino going to hire me to work there?" Liu Ning said with some confusion, not understanding why Zheng Hua would say such a thing out of the blue. Liu gets these shares, he can become the fifth largest shareholder outside of the four major families.” Zheng Hua didn't know what was inside, but he knew how much an 8% stake in the casino was.
"Mr. Liu, please don't rest yet. I have a favor to ask. I wonder if you would be interested in joining our casino?"
Seeing that Liu Ning was about to go to sleep, Zheng Hua hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Is your casino going to hire me to work there?"
Liu Ning said with some confusion, not understanding why Zheng Hua would say such a thing out of the blue. Even if you were to hire him, I'm afraid you don't have the financial strength. Liu Ning is extraordinary now, and his strength in all aspects is developing rapidly.
"Mr. Liu, you misunderstand. We certainly don't have that ability. Mr. Liu is a great hero this time, and there will soon be a huge amount of publicity on the internet. What I mean is to invite Mr. Liu to join the casino and become one of our shareholders. I wonder if Mr. Liu has this idea? If so, I can exchange this money for shares for Mr. Liu. Of course, this is only applicable to casinos in this city. It is not possible to do so in other regions."
After this guy finished explaining, Liu Ning, who was standing next to him, was also a little surprised. How could this be? Aren't the shareholders of this casino the four major families? Even if it's shares in an entire city, it's not something that ordinary people can get. Back then, the powerful and wealthy people in this city went to great lengths to only get a small share. The majority of the shares were still in the hands of the four major families and the eight major groups. Now, they actually took the initiative to invite people to join.
"Are you sure you're not out of your mind? If I remember correctly, Miss Bai once told me that her family owns 5% of this casino, with annual dividends of around 40 billion yuan. This is a goose that lays golden eggs, and you're just giving it to me like this?"
Liu Ning said with some surprise, "When I first went in to play, Miss Bai explained to me that apart from the city's top elites, no one else could become a shareholder, even if they had money. After all, the casino doesn't lack money, so why would it need so many shareholders? Just for arguing during meetings? They don't have any masochistic tendencies."
"Mr. Liu has misunderstood again. We did not invite you to join us. Your joining is part of our established strategy. First of all, Mr. Liu is a gambling expert, and his technical skills alone can help us a lot. In addition, Mr. Liu's reputation will continue to grow, and having Mr. Liu on the shareholder list will also be very beneficial to our entire casino. Although a portion of the profits will go to Mr. Liu, overall, it is a win-win situation for us."
The guy chuckled and said that casinos never do business at a loss. On the surface, Liu Ning will receive huge profits every year, but in reality, Liu Ning also needs to make sacrifices. It's not like you can just sit there and collect money. Once someone disrupts the casino, Liu Ning has to show up and teach these people what gambling skills are.
"You're quite honest. If I used the compensation you gave us this time as shares, how much do you think I would get?"
Liu Ning asked a substantive question. To be honest, Liu Ning originally only thought about taking the money and leaving, and did not want to have any involvement with the casino. But now this is a huge pie, with hundreds of billions of yuan in dividends every year, and it is very stable. This is no small matter. No matter how big a supermarket is, its ability to make money is probably not very good. But if it is a casino, it is a different story. It is a real money-printing machine.
“I knew Mr. Liu would be interested. Our headquarters has already given us a figure. If Mr. Liu agrees, we can give him 8% of the shares. This 8% is half of the total. If Mr. Liu gets these shares, he can become the fifth largest shareholder outside of the four major families.”
Zheng Hua didn't know what was inside, but he knew how much an 8% stake in the casino was. Therefore, Zheng Hua believed that Liu Ning would never refuse. If he really got an 8% stake, even if he didn't sell it, the annual dividend would be nearly 80 billion yuan. This was an average of several decades' worth of dividends, so it was a sure thing.
"make a deal."
Liu Ning uttered those two words, and Zheng Hua breathed a sigh of relief. If Liu Ning hadn't agreed, everything inside would have had to be taken out and verified one by one, which would have exposed a lot of things. Since the casino's business was conducted under the cover of darkness, it wouldn't have been beneficial for the casino if these things were exposed. So this was a win-win situation.
Moreover, Zheng Hua knew Liu Ning's personality. Even if Liu Ning became the fifth largest shareholder, he would basically not interfere with the operation of the casino. He would just wait for the year-end dividend. This kind of shareholder was the most popular among the managers.
Liu Ning once received a tip from Wang Jun that the casino's shares were exceptionally valuable; the transfer of just 1% of the shares had already reached 150 billion yuan, not to mention the 8% stake.
The reason why the shares are so expensive is related to the amazing returns. 1% of the shares can generate 9 to 10 billion yuan annually. If you spend 150 billion yuan to buy them, you can recoup the investment in about 10 years.
For large investments, such a rate of return is already quite astonishing, but there is also the possibility of losing money. For example, the windmill city next door was directly occupied by ferocious beasts, and the investors there lost everything. If the investment period is relatively long, it is very likely that the investment will be recovered, and the remaining loss is the profit. If the investment period is relatively short, then it is really a huge loss.
“8% of the shares is not a small amount. Let me tell you, if I go there in the future, you’d better hand over your shares obediently. And I don’t even have to pay anything; my master gets plenty of dividends.”
Just then, Zhao Lele came in from outside. This girl had been eavesdropping at the door the whole time. Others might not have had the opportunity to do so, but Zhao Lele did.
Zheng Hua smiled and nodded. "Anyway, it's just exchanging chips for you. It's not like you're paying for it yourself. Your master has shares here. If you're willing to lose money, you can complain to your heart's content later. Your master's shares are enough for you to play for a long time. The only problem is that you might not want to play anymore. Besides, the casino maintains fairness and impartiality. If you lose money and don't admit it, your master will ask you for the money. Liu Ning is a shareholder now."
