America 1919

Although going to Macau means greater freedom and power, he still feels a bit worried.

After all, the current state of Macau cannot possibly compare to the development in Atlantic City!

"Boss, may I think it over?"

Feng Zhangping wanted to discuss it with his family.

Donnie shook his head and said, "No, you need to give me your answer now; if you don't want to go, I'll have to find someone else!"

The reason for choosing Feng Zhangping actually has another aspect; it's his background with the Hongmen organization. Donnie believes that if Feng Zhangping returns to Macau and grows with his support, in the future, Feng Zhangping will also assist the East in some form due to Hongmen's influence.

Feng Zhangping's assistance is essentially Donnie's assistance!

As always, in this era, even though he has significant power, Donnie is still willing to make some contributions to the East!

Feng Zhangping pondered for a moment and finally agreed to Donnie's request.

"Alright, Boss, I'm willing to go to Macau!"

With the answer he wanted, Donnie smiled.

"After you go to Macau, there are two businesses you need to manage. First is the gambling industry; soon I will arrange for Portugal to bring the gambling practices of Atlantic City to Macau, issuing casino licenses, and we will secure the first license!"

The gambling business in Macau began back in 1847.

But back then, the gambling scene in Macau, to put it kindly, was diverse; to put it bluntly, it was a chaos!

The Portuguese government paid no mind to this; all they cared about was the revenue from each casino's "gaming tax"!

This situation lasted until 1930, when Macau issued its first casino license, but the winning Haoxing Company operated conservatively and didn't capitalize on the opportunity.

It wasn't until 1937 when Macau's Taixing Entertainment Company implemented an exclusive policy, officially starting the licensing era.

Now that Donnie has secured management rights in Macau through Antonio Carmona, certain policies definitely need to be advanced!

"Second, establish our own bank!"

The bank and gambling industry are mutually reinforcing sectors; just look at the reactions from Morgan and other companies when Atlantic City first secured its casino license.

Therefore, banking in Macau is definitely a necessity!

"Boss, since you are sending me to Macau, there are things I should tell you!" Feng Zhangping said earnestly after hearing Donnie's plans.

Donnie hopes to receive constructive opinions from Feng Zhangping.

"Go ahead!"

"I've had dealings before with people from Hong Kong and Macau. They mentioned the situation there to me; if I go alone, I'm worried I won't be able to meet your expectations, and unexpected things might happen!"

Donnie understood Feng Zhangping's concerns and said with a smile, "Don't worry about that. I will have Kritch send a team to Macau; they will be under your command. With them alongside you, there's no need to worry about unforeseen circumstances. Also, when you go, I'll prepare 1 million US Dollars as your startup capital!"

1 million US Dollars now doesn't mean much to Donnie.

But for Feng Zhangping going to Macau, that amount is a huge sum; with manpower and funds, Feng Zhangping felt even more confident about the tasks given by Donnie!

"Boss, there's one last question!" Feng Zhangping asked seriously: "There sure are many Portuguese doing business in Macau right now. We're like newcomers; what if those Portuguese bully us?"

With a relaxed smile, Donnie replied, "Rest assured, if any Portuguese try to leverage their status against you, feel free to deal with them using whatever means you deem fit. I will ensure the governor Portugal sends cooperates with you!"

It was then that Feng Zhangping recalled what Donnie had previously said about securing casino licenses from the Portuguese government.

This meant that Donnie had essentially already resolved issues with the Portuguese government!

Upon understanding this, Feng Zhangping couldn't help but marvel at the unfathomable nature of his boss!

"If that's the case, I don't have much to worry about!"

Donnie stated, "I've arranged everything for you. If you can't take control of the business in Macau, then it would be a failure of my judgment!"

Feng Zhangping, with a determined expression, quickly said, "Boss, your judgment is flawless!"

After hearing this, Donnie nodded with satisfaction and then arranged some more details before allowing Feng Zhangping to leave!

Feng Zhangping left Donnie's office and began preparing for the journey to Macau, meanwhile informing Hong Xianyi about it.

Donnie was aware of this matter.

Hong Xianyi was quite surprised upon hearing that Feng Zhangping would go to Macau, but after the surprise, he felt delighted, knowing Donnie's influence.

If Feng Zhangping went to Macau with Donnie's backing, he would surely become part of the largest company there; at that time, Macau could also be one of the bridges connecting them to the East!

"Mr. Block told me he's not against what we're doing, and he even mentioned that if we encounter any unsolvable issues, we can go to him for help!"
