Chapter 507 Sakura Club and Foundation

Let me put it this way, playing games with your little sister is not as exciting as gambling!

Therefore, gambling addiction is difficult to cure.

So never gamble. Don't think that small gambling is fun while big gambling is harmful to your body. Gambling is gambling. As long as it is gambling, once dopamine is secreted, three phenomena will inevitably occur.

Get high! Once you get high, it will be too late.

The thought that comes to your mind is, it’s just a 10 yuan bill, it doesn’t matter!
Then, it gradually became, isn’t it just a 20-dollar weapon, isn’t it just a 50-dollar weapon, isn’t it just a 100-dollar weapon~!

It's just one day's salary, I will definitely make it back next time. It's just a few dollars, just have fun!

Then you will lose everything, and the bigger the amount, the greater the stimulation, the more dopamine is secreted, and the more addicted you will be.

To give a simple example, if you play Happy Landlord, you will be given 3000 beans a day. You don’t even need to recharge and can play for a long time. But when you are addicted to the game, the happy beans given to you are used up. Is it worth it?
So you recharged a small amount of ten dollars, but then you found that you could only play in the intermediate level arena, and ended up losing it all in just a few games.

Then the person above goes to recharge another 100 yuan, but the happy beans after the recharge exceed the maximum limit of the intermediate field, so you can only go to the advanced field, and then after several consecutive explosions, your happy beans are gone again, so you go to recharge again...!
This is even more true for gambling on stones.

The average price of the final 120 tons of raw stones auctioned by Lin Hao this time reached 20 per ton!
This means that the price per kilogram is as high as 200 yuan!
The raw stone is not light in weight, but Lin Hao believes that this wave is mainly for testing, so the price is still quite cheap.

······
Hong Kong Island is very lively here, and by the same token, the island countries are also quite lively!

Jade is not only loved by Chinese people, but also by people in their daily lives. However, this liking is more due to its "gambling" factor!

Similarly, gambling on stones has also become popular in the island country. This thing is prohibited in the island country, but Lin Hao has the Sakura Club.

Yakuza doesn’t care about these things. There are plenty of underground casinos, and they are even more ferocious than those in Hong Kong Island!
In island countries, the price of jade is higher, and the people there are richer, so they import everything.

But the island country now has a developed industry, people have money in their pockets and more importantly, many new-age women are awakening.

What does this mean?

This means that there are many wealthy people in the island country, and many women in the island country are willing to pay for their daily lives, so more people can afford jade.

Therefore, Lin Hao decisively sent the second batch of raw stones to the island country.

Because Lin Hao has a space ring, transactions do not require ship transportation. Instead, they can take a direct flight to the island country and back, thus saving a huge amount of shipping costs.

However, Lin Hao is already considering finding someone to be responsible for transporting raw stones or other materials in the future. In this way, he can make huge profits from smuggling alone by relying on his own space.

Anyway, as long as we don’t ship some bad things into the country, it doesn’t matter as for foreign countries. I’m not the world police.

It’s true, the space ability is so useful, especially when there is no limit on the number.

By the end of December 78, the “second oil crisis” caused by Ichiro’s Islamic revolution was about to break out.

Lin Hao produced a large number of space equipment and purchased large quantities of physical oil from the Middle East.

On his way back, Lin Hao also visited a large base of the Eagle Sauce family.

Lin Hao sneaked in directly, took away most of the reserves in the entire base, and then set off the remaining explosives for them.

林昊现在的精神力有20点，因此每个空间装备最大是20*20*20，也就是8000个立方的体积。

One cubic meter can hold about 0.88 tons of oil, and 8000 cubic meters is 7070 tons. If it is filled with 7.62 bullets, it can hold million bullets.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

When Lin Hao left, all the evidence turned to ashes in the explosions.

The weapons and equipment transported by Lin Hao were quickly divided up by China and the island country.

After all, they were not used anywhere else. Relying on these weapons, Wu Qiao successfully took over more nearby territories and more mines in two months.

Now that Hong Kong is temporarily under the control of Lin Hao, the bottom-level control over Hong Kong Island is even greater. Relying on the jadeite raw stones, Sakura will develop better in the island country.

Even with the help of jadeite, Matsumoto Takumi once again entered the sight of the top management of Sankoujing.

Takumi Matsumoto went through formal channels, spent a large amount of money to purchase some raw stones at high prices, and then opened the market himself. As a result, he nearly doubled his funds.

At the same time, relying on the Ponzi scheme, the Sankoujing Group made a huge fortune this time, and even used financial means of financial management to come up with a legal financial investment contract.

Even a new bank was set up to deal specifically with this matter.

Takumi Matsumoto is the boss among them, but~.

There are many problems here. First of all, the money is deposited in Mitsukoshi Bank, and the bank that Takumi Matsumoto is in charge of is just a fully functional empty shell.

This makes it difficult for Takumi Matsumoto to transfer the money openly, but since he has to do the accounting, he has to do it well, so there will still be money spent and transferred to Takumi Matsumoto.

This is why Matsumoto Takumi went through formal procedures and bought the jadeite raw stone from Lin Hao. He originally wanted to transfer some money, but ended up making a huge profit.

Then, Takumi Matsumoto used investment, which was actually internal low-interest loans or even interest-free loans, to provide them to other downstream companies under the Sankoui Group.

In fact, it is also an investment, but the problem is that all the money is used on Sankoujing itself, rather than an investment for the whole society.

But for investors, what they see is that after the money is invested, a business gets better and then a large amount of interest is paid back to return the investment.

The Sankoujing Group used the people's money to help a company overcome difficulties, and the money earned was actually Sankoujing's own money.

Use other people's money to save your own life, and in the end you still make the most of the money. This is the operation of the three wells. It cannot be said to be exactly the same as Lin Hao's method, but it can be said to be exactly the same.

Lin Hao has nearly 3000 billion in funds, while Sankoujing's funds have reached more than billion yen in just a few months, which is more than three times that of Lin Hao!
Such a large capital flow naturally attracted the attention of other banks, but Sankoujing Bank's operation was even more ruthless.

On the surface, all investors were promised a profit of only 8% interest, but in reality what was paid was 24%!

This will not appear in the contract, but you can see that as long as I don’t pay, you can get the principal back.

The country will definitely prohibit this kind of fund-raising method, but everyone is eager to do it.

When ordinary people see such a high interest rate, 24% a year, assets can double in four years, which is much better than depositing in a bank. Besides, this is backed by Sankoujing Bank, how could there be any problem?
As a result, more and more people directly converted their bank accounts into investment accounts.

Once a problem arises, more than 300 billion yen will directly affect tens of millions of people.

So if we talk about being ruthless, Xiao Zi is still ruthless enough, and he will never show mercy to his own people.

On the contrary, on Lin Hao's side, the establishment of the Sakura Group, although aggressive, together with the Sakura Society, brutally swallowed up many companies.

But it did not involve a Ponzi scheme. After all, it had just entered the development stage, and word of mouth still needed to be maintained. Besides, Lin Hao was still waiting for them to go bankrupt so that he could take a bite.

Of course, Lin Hao would not wait for the Ponzi scheme of the three wells to collapse before making large-scale acquisitions. Instead, he would look for suitable factories and enterprises to invest in.

For example, ocean-going fishing vessels and cargo ships, because Lin Hao knows that the future will be dominated by cargo transportation.

You have to know that our country is an island country. It is such a tiny place and does not have many resources of its own. A large amount of materials need to be imported.

You cannot import by air because the cost is too high, so sea transportation has the lowest cost. This is a rigid demand and you don’t have to worry about a lack of business.

The Sakura Group has obtained the rights to build a port. Now that the island country is fully open to the West, there will be more and more ports.

In addition, there is a large shipyard, all of which were taken down through a combination of wisdom and force.

The demand for shipbuilding, fishing vessels and cargo ships, will continue to increase in island nations and even around the world.

Moreover, this is also a systematic production chain, so the derived factories will be numerous and complex.

Therefore, Lin Hao is very supportive of this thing.

More and more banks started to engage in Ponzi schemes. This was originally a bad thing, but under the manipulation of Ryuji Abe, it became a good thing!

Ryuji Abe, the official president of the Sakura Group, is a decent man supported by Lin Hao, and his appearance must be great and glorious.

Knowing that the Sankoujing Group is now engaged in a Ponzi scheme on a large scale, Lin Hao decided not to play it.

One reason is that it is unnecessary, as the original capital has already been accumulated and the remaining direct industrial development is actually more profitable than a Ponzi scheme.

After all, the foundation of the Ponzi scheme is the deposits of ordinary people, and other banks have seen clearly the actions of Yikou Jingcai. Rather than exposing it, other banks hope that they can also get a piece of the pie.

Financial groups such as Futu, Sanling, and Zhuyou also joined in, but everyone carried out regional planning tacitly to avoid financial conflicts.

On the contrary, the Sakura Group developed the shipbuilding industry, the fishing industry, and the light industry, and then fed back to the heavy industry of shipbuilding.

The reason why Lin Hao did not allow the Sakura Group to engage in a Ponzi scheme was mainly because Sakura had a better way to accumulate wealth.

Gambling, to be precise, the underground casino of the Sakura Society, do you think it is gambling on stones?
No, that's just low-end gameplay!
In just half a year, it has developed extremely rapidly. It will look for and develop casino members, and then open high-end casinos.

Simply put, you can not only gamble with money, but also with your life!

Just like in many comics about island countries, it is cruel but exciting. However, for island countries, in a social environment of super-fast development, people are inherently crazy.

In other words, many islanders are crazy and perverted, and the emergence of such a place has caused them to cheer even more.

The low-end ones are the simplest casinos, where all kinds of conventional gambling methods are used and the dealer takes a commission. This is a sure win.

In fact, in mainland China, almost all bookmakers are like this, so don’t expect the bookmaker to compensate you. Gambling really will make you a fool. Staying away from gambling is the best choice!

The mid-range ones satisfy the sense of excitement of some wealthy people, such as dog fighting, cockfighting, horse betting and some larger card games, but these people are not eligible to join the high-end membership of the Sakura Club.

Both the low-end and mid-end are used to slaughter pigs. Simply put, the society will not give them any help, but will just be a cold-eyed bystander and ruthlessly take the commission.

What really made the Sakura Club rise was its high-end membership system.

There are some comics and movies in the island country, and I believe many people have seen them, such as Gambling Apocalypse, Kakegurui, The Liar Game, etc.

The squid games in Korea are actually left over from the Japanese.

And the high-end ones are just like this, playing with the lives of the lower-class people!
Find those who have no worries, send them to the gambling table, let the upper class people gamble, and let those at the bottom win the huge bonus.

There are various ways of playing the game. The upper class people enjoy fine wine and beautiful women, while watching the lower class people fighting for their lives like pigs and dogs, just for small money which is a small amount for the rich, but for the huge bonus in their eyes.

Moreover, the biggest profit point on the high-end side does not come from gambling commissions.

So how do you make a profit?

The first is the membership fee, which amounts to hundreds of millions of yen each year.

Second, the agency fee

Third, talent dispatch
After all, those who can enter high-end gambling games are all powerful and influential people, and they are all carefully selected. Simply put, they are all willing to cooperate.

The association takes up to 10% of the cooperation fees, and both parties contribute 5% each.

You can refuse to give it to me, but I can kill you and your company literally.

I gave you a platform so that you can have fun and do business at the same time. If you don’t even pay me the agency fee, then there is no need for it to exist.

The market is there. If you lose it, there will be people who will come out and swallow up your market. If you don't obey, that would be great. You will be the next person to gamble your life.

Of course, it's not just the lower class who risk their lives to gain wealth. The Sakura Society also sets up traps for people in some high-tech jobs to lure them into participating.

If they fail, they will either be sent to China or Africa to mine, or work in a company designated by the Sakura Club to pay back the money.

Money, beauty, bloody killings, all of these mixed together are the real terrifying weapon of the Sakura Society.

A terrifying network of power spread out in this way.

With the development of this network, the Sakura Group's industry began to develop, and sales channels were completely opened up. The simple buying and selling relationship could easily provide the entire group with huge amounts of cash!
