IAG SEP 2020年9月 亞博匯 28 COVER STORY 卓：在過去20年中，澳門的博彩業在內地資本流入澳門的推動下 發展蓬勃。但正如您所說，內地對資本外流有著嚴格的法律規定。 由此所產生的主要問題是甚麼？ 周： 我們需要正常的資金渠道。過去流入澳門的大部分資金都是 以不正常渠道進入澳門，支撐著澳門的博彩業發展。雖然資金透 過非法管道來到澳門，但無可否認澳門的合法博彩業務確實受惠 於這些資金，因此這個話題變得相當敏感。 一方面，內地支持澳門回歸後在「一國兩制」之下的經濟發 展，澳門開放賭牌、內地全國開放自由行，在國家的支持下，澳門 博彩業發展一飛沖天。 但另一方面，內地的執法機關打擊澳門的非法資金管道，讓 守法經營博彩業務的機構難以捉摸，我希望澳門的相關機構能夠 建立一個完整及完善、符合兩地法律法規的經營方針和合法的資 金管道。 內地執法機關為了打擊非法資金外流，間接地影響澳門博彩 業生意，實際上令澳門經濟受到沉重打擊。 AWS: As CEO and Director of the number one VIP gaming promoter in Macau, you are obviously seen as a leader in the industry. What’s your view on how this conflict between the goals of mainland China and Macau could be solved? AC: Banks in Mainland China could issue travelers checks to mainlanders that Macau casinos, VIP rooms and banks could cash in. Using this approach, banks could vet the capital quality of the individuals using the checks while banks and the mainland authorities could also supervise the financial status of each gambler. This will also reduce the chances of Macau gaming entities lending huge amounts to gamblers, and reduce the risk of bad debt. There could also be new legislation capping the amount of gambling credit. Maybe the credit could Mainland people should not be allowed to open accounts as business partners. Only gamblers should be able to open accounts – using their real names – and only those who can write travelers checks should be legally allowed to take out gambling loans. 理應不容許內地人開戶成為合作人。只有賭客才可以實名開戶，只有那些能 開旅行支票的人士才可以合法辦理博彩借貸。
