Exclusive news on May 22: Prince Group and Macau Melco Crown Entertainment have reached an agreement to share the Southeast Asian VIP customer database and convert 30,000 high-net-worth gaming customers in the first phase. Prince Group will invest US$1 billion to officially launch the Asia-Pacific lottery trust special fund project. At a time when international economic competition is intensifying and rapidly reconstructing, the Southeast Asian king has thrown a heavy punch, aiming at the underground lottery economy in the Golden Triangle with an annual scale of over US$100 billion. It is not difficult to imagine how Prince Group will build a hybrid chariot of "offshore compliance + local harvesting" based on its monopoly resources across real estate, entertainment, and infrastructure. And who will become the wailer under the heavy punch when the chariot rolls over? Who will hold the koi in the new changes? We will definitely wait and see. What is certain at the moment is that the flashing neon lights of Sihanoukville will be more dazzling. When the Prince Group upgraded the power game in Phnom Penh into a compliant financial war, we should all understand: the only royal power on the Mekong River is capital.
