Chapter 1277 A Single Move Affects the Entire Body

Manila Crown Casino is not ranked among the regular casinos in the Philippines in terms of scale or interior decoration, but it has a staggering revenue.

However, those who are familiar with the inside story of Philippine casinos know that Crown Casino is not what it seems.

Crown Casino belongs to an American entertainment group, but the actual controller is Alcant, who started in the Tondo District.

The Philippines is not a tourist country, so even if the casino is legalized, it cannot attract too much traffic.

There is a well-known law about casinos, that is, casinos that rely on local support will cause a devastating blow to the local security ecology and will close down sooner or later.

Famous casinos around the world, such as Las Vegas, Macau, Monaco, etc., are all engaged in gambling business, but when they actually promote, they use tourism as the entry point.

And the gambling groups in these places are indeed willing to work hard on tourist facilities, and the most important thing is that they are willing to work hard on security issues and entertainment projects.

The Philippines does not have such conditions, because the economic situation in Southeast Asia is very general, the tourist population is insufficient, and the public security situation is poor, so no matter how hard those gambling groups try, they can't make big money like those giants.

Putting aside the casino bonuses brought by the tourist population, it is well known that one of the important revenue items of casinos is money laundering...

Money laundering has many forms, and some people rely on winning money to launder money...

This method is to transfer money to the casino through secret channels, and then let specific people win the money in the casino.

Gambling winnings are not an exception, and it is clean money after paying taxes.

There is another more fucked up way, which is to launder money by losing money...

That is to negotiate with the casino in advance, I lose money to you, you take your handling fee, and the rest of the money you have to transfer the rest of the money to the place I specify through your funding channels.

In the early years, Boss Qiao heard similar legends in his hometown, such as a certain boss lost hundreds of millions in a few days, and after returning, he sold the real estate and factory and declared bankruptcy, and all kinds of debts were denied.

At first, everyone thought this guy was unreliable, but after a few years, they found that the boss and his family had moved abroad and lived a good life.

When he was in a prosperous stage, he completed a radical transformation. The people who were cheated would only scold him for being unreliable, but would not call him a liar.

The most exaggerated one is a bit like a cross-border fund pool...

A group of rich people who dare not spend money or are strictly regulated give their money to casinos or a specific person...

Then no matter how much money they save, they can spend it abroad, even buying houses, cars, planes and yachts.

This kind of business has a relatively low handling fee because of the level of the customers, and the starting point is a bit like a Ponzi scheme. There is no problem when the economy is good, but once the economy goes down, it is easy to burst thunder, and even involves more sensitive issues.

The largest money laundering demand in Asia is basically concentrated in China, but those people will never leave Macau and run to the Philippines, because everyone's financial system is not connected.

So the life of casinos in the Philippines is not easy. Only the Crown Casino, which seems to be basically unprofitable, has a unique profit model.

As the umbrella of the underground casino criminal group in Manila, Alcante collects huge franchise protection fees every year, and uses the casino's capital flow to launder money for the pirate tycoon Faiz.

There are not many customers in the Crown Casino, and the service is very ordinary, so that it is convenient for those bastards to instigate the pigs that have been cheated with great difficulty to move to more exciting underground casinos...

However, inside the unknown casinos, some machines and gambling tables are running 24 hours a day, and a large amount of funds are transferred to foreign accounts through the casino's accounts.

Today's situation is slightly different...

Alcante got the news that the industry of the uncle and nephew of the Lin family in Chinatown was swept away, and a batch of "protection fees" that should have been delivered today were robbed.

At the same time, multiple underground casinos were swept away by people, and the people who acted were very professional. Every time the police rushed over, they could only clean up the scene and got no clues.

Alcante called the high-level officials in Manila to inquire about the news, but the other party either didn't answer the phone or didn't answer the phone clearly.

This made the gangster boss who had experienced many ups and downs have some bad guesses. He felt that someone must have bribed the upper level of Manila and wanted to steal his business.

The best way at this time is to hide somewhere low-key and see the situation. At least you need to know who the opponent is to deal with it conveniently.

However, the most important thing for the gangster is face, and the Crown Casino cannot afford to lose. This forced Alcante to concentrate his strength while asking around what happened...

At this time, the big boss who really knew the inside story would not tell him, and the people below were confused and didn't know what was going on.

Even if Alcante racked his brains, he couldn't imagine that a big man like Boss Joe would target the underground casino, a "small business" that only needs the police to come forward to clear it...

What is he after?

"Boss, the situation seems to be a little wrong. The people of "Blood Spider" want to evacuate..."

Alcant, who was sitting in the office, looked at his subordinates who rushed in. He smiled and signaled to his subordinates not to be nervous, then with some difficulty he supported his fat body and stood up, waving for everyone else in the office to sit down...

Then he walked up to his men in person, put his arm around his shoulders and walked to the bathroom, while smiling and saying: "Don't be nervous, tell me slowly, why do the people of the 'Blood Spider' want to retreat?"

The man wearing a floral shirt and a big gold watch swallowed his saliva and said, "They said they saw some people they couldn't afford to offend, so they refunded the commission..."

"Someone you can't afford to offend? Who?"

The men took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, they won't tell..."

Alcante walked to the door of the bathroom, suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed his man's neck, put his head against the door frame of the bathroom, then grabbed the door handle and pushed the door hard...

“You don’t know a damn thing, why aren’t you knocking on the door?”

It wasn't until he knocked his subordinates unconscious that Alcant turned around and looked at the silent senior executives in the office...

"Someone is targeting us. Call the police and contact the mercenary agency. I need more manpower and wait for orders...

A situation like the 'Blood Spider' cannot happen again! "

As he spoke, Alcante grinned a few gold teeth and shouted with a ferocious expression: "Hurry up, everyone move..."

After all his subordinates left the office, leaving only a few personal bodyguards present, Alcant sat heavily on the chair, took out a satellite phone from the drawer and dialed...

"Boss, I don't know what happened, but I seem to be in trouble. Someone wants to attack Crown Casino..."

……………………

In the Embassy District of San Miguel in Manila, Aaron completed today's exercise with the help of his assistant Ma Hong...

Just when he was about to walk into the bathroom and take a shower, he received a call from an unknown number.

After listening for a few seconds, Aaron said inexplicably: "Mr. Faiz, I just arrived in Manila not long ago...

I'm certainly well-informed, but I don't fucking know it all!

I organize the transaction, but it's up to you to participate or not.

This is an auction in itself, and you are not the only buyer, so please be polite. "

"……………………"

“I am only responsible for transaction security, but not for other issues. How the hell do I know what happened in Manila?

If a gangster is attacked, what does it have to do with me? "

"……………………"

"The 'Blood Spider' is a registered mercenary of an international agency, but we have a cooperative relationship. They are not slaves of the international agency. If they breach the contract, they will naturally pay a price. There is a clear compensation clause in the contract.

Mr. Faiz, you are definitely not calling me specifically to complain. Tell me what exactly you want to do?

Our time is very precious! "

"……………………"

After hearing this, Aaron hung up the phone, and then gritted his teeth and dialed Boss Qiao's satellite phone...

……………………

At this time, Qiao Jia has led the team to the gate of Crown Casino...

Four Tyros cars were covered with tarpaulins and slowly followed behind them, dragging terrifying weapons.

At this point in the morning, there were basically no customers in the casino, and a few sleepy reception ladies were standing in the lobby taking a nap.

Qiao Jia reached out and patted Dorian on the shoulder. Just when he was about to open the door and enter the lobby to let the service staff retreat first, he was surprised to see a group of people waving white flags, walking along the majestic curved stairs from the second floor. The building slowly walked down...

Seeing those guys raising their hands and trying to show that they were harmless, Qiao Jia frowned and said, "FUCK, what is going on?"

Dorian in front suddenly said in a deep voice: "Boss, they are the Blood Spiders. We have encountered them in Italy and Niger."

Qiao Jia remembered it at this time. Before he could figure out how to deal with this situation, Aaron called...

Looking at the familiar number on the phone, Qiao Jia picked up the phone and said angrily: "What's the matter? I'm so fucking busy!"

"Jackal, are you crazy, you bastard?

Aren't you here to do business?

Why did you hit Alcante?

That guy is just a small character. If you scare Faiz away, you won't be able to catch the big fish! "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia said unhappily: "I am happy with it, but can you take care of it?

So what if Faiz runs away?

As long as he exists, the contract I gave to the Philippines will have a basis for existence, and I will be able to drive a big fucking ship and kill around the Sulu Sea...

Just do your own thing honestly...

Let me warn you, that ‘Mountain Eagle’ is a ruthless character. He accepted the assignment through an international agency. If you don’t give him an explanation, you will have to sleep with one eye open in the future..."

Aaron was stunned for a moment and said nervously: "No way, I've seen their resumes. That guy and his two old companions haven't done anything big..."

Qiao Jia sneered and said: "If you apologize to me for your attitude just now, I will say a few words for you, otherwise, hum..."
