Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Miss He_1

However, the exclusive right to import customs clearance hasn’t been obtained yet, and the thoughts of the Chinese business owners coming to do business haven’t changed.

They just want to make quick money and dare not ship too much each time.

After all, it’s through the gray customs clearance. If any problems arise, it would mean losing everything!

Wang Ye felt helpless too. If Gavriil didn’t relent, he had no other options but to wait and see.

As for why Gavriil didn’t want to expedite this matter for him, Wang Ye also had a guess — perhaps he was not worth the trouble yet.

Alas, in the end, it’s because he’s not strong enough; others just don’t take him seriously...

While sitting in the office pondering, Big Head Kong rushed in excitedly.

"President, good news, my old friend from Macao just called me. He said he has contacted the He family in Macao! The He family is very interested in collaboration and willing to send someone over to talk with you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye was also happy. If he could work with the He family to establish a "gambling entertainment center," Xiao Ying Group should face no issues.

With sufficient funds, a strong background, plus the He family’s "technology" support, it’ll be hard not to make big money!

"Oh? That’s good. Did your friend mention when the representative from the He family will be over?" asked Wang Ye.

"That’s not decided yet. The He family requested for your phone number to discuss matters over the phone first. I haven’t given them your number yet, I thought I should ask your opinion first" answered Big Head Kong with a wide smile.

"Give it to them, there’s no reason to keep my number a secret." Wang Ye gestured nonchalantly.

Big Head Kong instantly nodded his head, "Alright, I’ll call my friend back later and pass your number to the He family so they can contact you."

...

After Big Head Kong went out, Wang Ye began to contemplate.

He was familiar with the He family of Macao, but he didn’t know much about them. In his "past life", he never even went to Macao to play.

Frankly, besides the gambling business, there wasn’t much else that was attractive about that place.

Unfortunately, Wang Ye didn’t like gambling...

Despite that, he had seen bits and pieces about the He family, especially the gambling king, He, his fourth wife, and their numerous children from the news.

Especially when the He family heats up the news with the fight over the property among the multiple wives and children, it was hard even to try to ignore it.

As for other people’s family matters, Wang Ye didn’t wish to comment. He just knew that the man himself, He the Gambling King, was truly impressive, perhaps the uncrowned king of Macao.

After all, in a small place in Macao, it’s said that about 70-80% of the people are working, either directly or indirectly, for the He family.

Even over half of Macao’s annual financial revenue comes from the taxes paid by the He family’s gambling industry...

So, Wang Ye held a certain level of respect for such a legendary figure.

While deep in thought, his mobile phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID. It was an international long-distance call. It was probably someone from the He family calling.

He reached out to answer the call and spoke in Chinese, "Hello."

"Hello, may I speak to Mr. Mikhail?" A middle-aged woman on the other end hesitated before asking in Chinese.

"It’s me," Wang Ye answered concisely.

"Ah? Didn’t expect Mr. Mikhail to speak such good Chinese. I even specifically brought a Russian translator. It looks like we won’t be needing one." The woman on the other side evidently didn’t expect Wang Ye’s Chinese to be this good and spoke with surprise.

"My father is Chinese, so I’ve been studying Chinese since I was young. May I ask who you are?" Wang Ye answered tersely.

More than just his father being Chinese, Wang Ye’s mother, grandparents, aunts, and uncle were all Chinese...

However, he was now negotiating with the He family under the identity of "Mikhail," that had a background as "Khodorkovsky’s nephew," "Xiao Ying Group’s boss," and a "China-Russian mix".

"Hehe, then we are almost like kinsfolk. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mikhail. My name is He Chaoying. I’m currently in charge of Obo Group’s operations. I’ll be coordinating with you on this collaboration."

He Chaoying?

Wang Ye knew who this woman was!

She is the eldest daughter of the second family of the He family, and also the biggest winner in the power struggle among the siblings of the He family after their father retired!

Upon the end, the controlling stakes of the two main gambling businesses under the He family all fell into He Chaoying’s hands!

As for the first, third, and fourth families, the assets they received were all invested by the father in other industries, like real estate, oil shipping, finance, etc.

But, those industries obviously can’t compare to the gambling industry!

Not a simple woman...

Wang Ye also perked up and smiled, "So, how should I address you, Mr. He or Miss He?"

"Since we’re kinsfolk and I’ve heard that you’re not old either, it’d be too formal to call me Mr. He or Miss He, you can just call me ’He Sister’." He Chaoying was unexpectedly enthusiastic.

Wang Ye smiled lightly in response, "Okay, He Sister, and you can stop calling me Mr. Mikhail, just call me Misha. That’s how my friends call me."

After moments of an ice-breaking conversation, both of them finally got to the main topic. He Chaoying immediately asked, "I heard Misha, you got a gambling permit. Is it the only one in Russia?"

"Yes, I have it now. It should be the same as the one you have in Macao, able to operate all kinds of gambling industries. But there’s one limitation to my permit, which is not to serve Russian customers." Wang Ye confessed openly.

He Chaoying hesitated for a bit before laughing, "That’s not a big problem. We can serve foreign customers. We don’t rely on local people in Macao either. By the way, what’s the tax rate for your gambling permit?"

Wang Ye paused to think before answering, "It’s seven percent. It’s the same as the hotel industry; the tax rate is relatively low here in Russia."

"Seven percent?! Are you sure... Oh, sorry, I’m just a bit surprised. Our tax rate here in Macao is much higher." He Chaoying exclaimed.

The gambling industry is a lucrative business, so countries that allow it to exist would typically levy heavy taxes!

For example, He Chaoying’s Obo Group needs to pay as high as thirty-two percent in taxes!

So when she heard that Wang Ye only needed to pay seven percent tax, she was naturally astonished.

"Hehe, I am sure it’s seven percent. Well, He Sister, let me give you a brief introduction to my situation..."

Wang Ye briefly explained his situation to He Chaoying, then sincerely said, "But right now, we are only short of experienced workers and management personnel here. If you’re interested, He Sister, you can come and take a look."
