Chapter 1570: Ceding Interests

"You're quite the gentleman." Yang Ming saw Jotans's attitude was still not bad and pressed his hand down lightly in the air, "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Jotans nodded and sat down.

"Klass is dead. I'm not going to ask nor am I interested in who instructed him or who sent him." Yang Ming glanced at Jotans, "We are now talking about the Nancheng Family!"

Jotans was relieved after hearing Yang Ming's words. He was afraid Yang Ming would want to get to the bottom of this matter by asking for Klass's details and the identity of the person who introduced him to the Nancheng Family. If this happened, Jotans would be in a dilemma. Miss Alice's affairs could not be spoken of casually. If Yang Ming were to ask, he could only keep it to himself and stay silent.

But Yang Ming did not want to investigate this matter, so naturally, Jotans didn't mention it.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Jotans had said this previously in a careful and respectful manner due to Yang Ming's pressure. However, this time, it was said sincerely! Yang Ming is definitely someone who is broad-minded and not petty!

"Okay." Yang Ming waved his hand, and said lightly, "Don't think this matter can be resolved so easily."

"Yes... I know. I definitely know it," Jotans nodded and said quickly.

"I'm not going to continue looking into Klass's matters, but the Nancheng Family's matter is not over yet," said Yang Ming. "You can see that the Douglas family is getting along quite well with me now, but do you know at what cost?

"I'm all ears." Jotans was dumbfounded and immediately understood the answer to his confusion before! No wonder the Douglas Family and Yang Ming seem to have a very harmonious relationship. They paid a certain price!

Yang Ming and the Lancer Family was caused by the Douglas Family. Yang Ming destroyed the Lancer Family but was now close to the Douglas family. It was inevitable that Jotan was confused.

But the Douglas Family was quite smart. They knew they had to make a prompt decision and it could be said that they were lucky that they survived.

"They handed to me all the Douglas Vast Hotels inChina." Yang Ming smiled, "This is not a secret so I believe you must have heard of it..."

"Oh? It was said to be an overall acquisition... So... It turned out to be like this! No wonder!" Jotans realized, "So that's why the Douglas family suddenly sold all their hotels in China! I was puzzled. The hotel industry is obviously profitable and the Douglas Family were developing plans to expand into the Asian hotel industry but suddenly abandoned it halfway. So this was why!"

Previously, there were many people like Jotans who were extremely puzzled about this matter. Some who were familiar with the Douglas Family asked them secretly about what happened but the members of the Douglas Family were surprisingly on the same page and said that this was the family's plan!

However, no one could detail the specifics of the plan. Although these signs made people doubtful, no one understood the truth and they could only trust the Douglas Family's explanation.

Now, Jotans finally understood the truth behind the sale of the Douglas Family's hotel industry in China. It was an interest ceded for compensation and it was not a huge deal.

"I can also give up our family business in China," Jotans said subconsciously after knowing the truth.

"Oh?" Yang Ming snorted indifferently. "As far as I know, aside from the Macau casino, what other business does the Nancheng Family have in China?"

"This..." Jotans suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He was not trying to play any tricks when he said this. He just meant that since Yang Ming said that the Douglas Family gave away some benefits, their Nancheng Family could also do the same and let out some of their benefits!

He said this to reassure Yang Ming, but it backfired and made Yang Ming think that he was playing some petty tricks. It was both handing over their business in China but the Douglas Family handed over property rights of more than ten hotels and he could only hand out a casino in Macau. The difference was huge.

"Mr. Yang, you know that's not what I meant! I just wanted to indicate that whatever the Douglas Family did, we, the Nancheng Family, can do it too, and we are able to do it even better!" Jotans explained immediately as he was afraid Yang Ming would misunderstand.

"I know. Even if you want to give me a casino, I will not accept it so easily," said Yang Ming, expressionless.

"Mr. Yang, I was just making my stand! I mean, our Nancheng Family can also give out more benefits than the Douglas Family," said Jotans. "We have businesses in the entertainment industry in many countries worldwide. I can give out some as part of my compensation to you."

"Many countries worldwide? Do you think I have the energy to go around the world to take over your entertainment industry?" Yang Ming shrugged. "Let's start talking practically here. I want the casinos located in Macau and Las Vegas. Of course, I won't stop you from opening a second one. If you have the money, you can reinvest. I won't restrict it."

Originally, Jotans's heart tightened when he heard Yang Ming wanted the casinos in both places. These two places are called 'World Casinos', and they are the most profitable ones. If they are taken by Yang Ming, the Nancheng Family will not have a good future. After hearing that Yang Ming did not restrict them from opening other casinos in these two places, Jotans was relieved and secretly grateful. It seems that Yang Ming is similar to how I imagined him to be. He is not the kind of person who is completely unforgiving.

If this is the case, Yang Ming's condition is not too much and it is reasonable... But this is too little, right? It's just two casinos. It is far lesser than the benefits given by the Douglas Family.

Jotans was not stupid, and guessed that Yang Ming had not finished his sentence yet. He said, "Okay, Mr. Yang, please continue."

Yang Ming nodded his head and was very satisfied with Jotans's attitude, "Also, I want the businesses in Singapore."

"No problem, Mr. Yang. Please continue." Jotans nodded. There were only a few hotels and nightclubs in Singapore. With the two previous casinos added up, it was still not equivalent to the hotels of the Douglas family, so Jotans knew that Yang Ming was not finished yet.

"Add on one billion dollars," Yang Ming said. "Other than that, there's nothing else."
