Chapter 295: The Black Swan Is Just Your Black Swan

Hearing that Mahathir was looking for him again after more than a month, Ibrahim's heart was very depressed, and he basically expected what would happen.

As the "child of his own family" who stares at "other people's children" every day, he is still very sensitive to what the "parents" are dissatisfied with him.

If you can't hide from it, then face it.

......

On Friday, September 28, in the Chieftain's Suite on the top floor of the Adeles Montgomery Hotel near Dibba Bay Beach, Ibrahim respectfully paid a respectful visit to Mahathir of the Abu Dhabi Consortium.

Originally, the day of the end of the month was supposed to be chosen, but the Middle Eastern aristocracy did not work overtime on weekends, so since the 29th and 30th were in time for Saturday and Sunday, they could only be postponed.

Overtime earns hard-earned money, which is detrimental to the luxurious aristocratic temperament.

The Adlais-Montgomery Hotel is one of the most exclusive hotels in Dibba today, after all, the Burj Al Arab is still in the renovation stage. The location of the Adelese Montgomery Hotel is in one of the most rare and natural oases on the southern outskirts of the city.

The beach in front of the hotel is also the best around, and there are some corals in the offshore water, so the water is clear and blue. In another time and space history, this beach should be reclaimed out of thin air in the future to build an artificial island for real estate development, that is, the famous Palm Jumeirah.

However, now, the concept of building a villa on Palm Island has been robbed by Gu Kun, although Ibrasin can still do it, but the originality is definitely not so high, and the reputation value attached to the project is not so great. And because the response to the previous project was not very good, it is unclear whether the budget of The Palm will be fully funded in the future.

As mentioned earlier, investors will only invest money in building a Burj Al Arab Hotel if you have spent your own funds on the good performance of the tourism project in front of you. Burj Al Arab has a good performance and good reputation, and only if Dibata has a good reputation can there be Palm Island, and each project will cost an order of magnitude more, and it also needs the performance of the previous order of magnitude as an investment endorsement.

If Gu Kun was completely blown up in this life on the Dibata and Lanfonta projects, then Dibata may be the last entrepreneurial project with the largest capital in Iprasin's life, and there will be no Palm Jumeirah in the future. (Dibata needs $2 billion, while Palm needs $14 billion.)

In any case, even if The Palm no longer exists, the fact that the beach in front of the Adlaide Montgomery Hotel could be chosen as the site for The Palm in another time and space is enough to show that the environment is beautiful.

......

In an oasis atmosphere surrounded by blue coral sea and palm coconut, the two carried out a cordial meeting.

As soon as they met, Iprahim flattered with a smile on his face, and his face smiled like a brilliant chrysanthemum: "Oh, dear Mahathir, I've been enjoying the clouds outside lately, I have recently got a new batch of girls here, and I'll give you a good chance when the time comes." There are those who say that there are Koreans, and they are particularly energetic. ”

Mahathir had come to talk about business, but after listening to this casual nonsense, he couldn't help but instinctively get excited for a while.

When he was in Lanfang, he also spent a lot of time enjoying it, but the only thing that made people unhappy was that the waitresses were mostly hackers Lan and Lucia's hairy girls, and at the very least, they were also white girls from Eastern European countries.

The Chinese waitresses in Lan Fang are all too serious to be serious, while the waitresses in Japan and South Korea are completely absent-

Because the salary of waitresses in serious service positions in Lanfang is too low compared to the national income level of Japan and South Korea. Therefore, young girls from Japan and South Korea will not come to Lanfang to work as waitresses. And for the lower positions, the Lanfang entertainment venues are strictly managed, and they don't recruit girls with East Asian faces, so the Japanese and Korean gold diggers can only die.

It's not that Gu Kun loves the house and Wu, because he respects the national feelings of the Chinese, and even respects Japan and South Korea together. He is also better than one more thing, lest the guests look at their faces and not be able to distinguish between China, Japan and South Korea, and hurt the national feelings of the guests, so he simply strictly manages them all.

In this way, Mahathir, who has always liked to be above women in developed countries, will inevitably have a fly in the ointment in his consumption experience in Lanfang.

Even if he finally went out to the jungle by himself and met the girl who was chatting, he was a serious person who came to Lanfang to make movies, and he would not be inferior.

Mahathir forcibly pressed it and politely refused: "This kind of thing will be talked about on the weekend when I have time! I'm here to talk to you about business today! Ibrahim, I've looked at a few tourism projects that I have invested money in before, and some of the latest business data this month, it's too miserable, don't you have any ideas for rectification measures?"

We can't just think about burning money when we do business, and we have to see the results when we burn money. Parents who enroll their children in cram schools, even if they are not afraid to spend money when they hire the most expensive famous teachers, then they also want to see their children's grades improve, do you think this is the truth?"

Seeing that he had failed to eat, drink and play cards, Iprahim immediately changed his attitude and smiled bitterly: "Mahathir, don't you know the current situation? Now is a special black swan period in the industry, and the guests of the Oceania Kingdom have plummeted by 75% in the last two weeks! The number of bookings for the whole month of October has fallen by 84% compared with the expected sales!"

I was able to stabilize the decline of European customers at a temporary rate of only one-third, and then at the end of October it rose to only one-quarter, which is already the best of all the surrounding countries! You are the most far-sighted investor, and you also know that great investors are long-term and cannot be blinded by temporary interests.

We are competing for the world's most tycoon tourist city, and this is not only the cause of our city-state, but also the promotion of the entire country's business card! If you don't support me, will you be willing to watch us forever be said to be selling oil, and people in other countries of the world will know nothing about us except oil?"

Iprasin's words, even with reasoning and complaints, have actually secretly injected a lot of water.

The decline in losses in September he mentioned was a real one, because it was compared with the actual operating data of the previous month. But the losses he mentioned in October and November were all in contrast to the year-on-year plus a percentage increase that he had previously expected.

In other words, Ibrahim had already taken the opportunity to raise the expected growth in October and November, and then emphasized that "I have lost a lot because of this unexpected black swan".

This is the usual trick used by many commercial companies when they encounter black swans, anyway, now that they have been lost, they can't assume that the black swan doesn't exist, so they will brag about the data of "if there is no black swan, how strong I could have been" and blow it a little bigger.

This trick works well in normal times, and it is not the first time that Ibrahim has cooperated with Mahathir in the past few years, and it is not the first time that he has taken the opportunity to throw more weight on the black swan.

It's like a loss-making factory, and there is a fire purely by accident (the accident here is the original literal meaning, that is, the real natural state fire, not the boss set fire to cheat the insurance), then it is also tempting to say that the burned depreciated things are brand new, and exaggerate and emphasize the loss within a reasonable range.

It's a pity that this time he didn't realize that "other people's children" performed brilliantly at this juncture, and even went against the market, completely ignoring the black swan, so Mahathir instantly pierced him.

"You don't talk to me! I think you are too vain and exaggerated, and you haven't practiced your internal skills well and solidly, so you can still disguise your false prosperity in a completely peaceful year, and no rich people will buy your account if you are a little troubled!

The so-called aristocratic atmosphere you have created is too empty, do you see what the Lanfang people do? After the black swan incident, has their tourism market been affected in the slightest?

I couldn't believe it at first, but then I really went back to inspect it in person, and stayed in the Lanfang Burj Al Arab Hotel, I asked my female secretaries to take turns at the door of the hotel every day to secretly take pictures of several heads, and I absolutely dared to make sure that the performance data displayed when Gu Kun chatted with me in private was not the slightest fake!

They really have the royal suite to be full, the occupancy rate of the presidential suite is 90 percent! the occupancy rate of the executive suite and the business suite is about 80 percent! All the data is not lower than 80 percent! This is still the black swan period!"

When Iprahim heard this spitting complaint, he almost wanted to provoke him: "This is impossible! The world's high-end luxury industry and high-end tourism market have been hit by this black swan incident, and I am not the only one who has performed poorly! How can Gu Kun be the only one who has done a good job? This must be a fraud! Brother Mahathir, you must not be deceived by them, the Oriental people are too cunning, not like us to be honest and straightforward." ”

His shock was from the bottom of his heart, because Iprahim had no channels to know the latest operating data of Burj Al Arab and even the supporting high-end tourism industry in Lanfang.

The most time-sensitive data in his hand is the situation in August, and September has not yet ended, how can there be such a quick response.

Mahathir shook his head with some hatred: "You, you still don't recognize other people's strengths! How did Gu Kun do it? He started working in advance to get the local tyrants all over the world to start booking." Look at you, you are slow to do things, you hold the shelf with a tone, but you don't dare to do anything practical.

You can't get down to the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and Fox, and the Playboy executives. Gu Kun is drinking with the editor-in-chief of Playboy, he can drink a small glass when others, and Corporal Lixian doesn't have a frame at all. Even the young ladies of the Hilton family and some other luxury celebrity families, he can work tirelessly, can you?

Gu Kun can have today's prestige, popularity and fashion, because of how many top European and American high-class socialites he has socialized in exchange, do you have him to work so hard?

I'm going to leave it here today, with your attitude, I'll give you $1.5 billion in Dibata's investment, and you won't have to add $1 to the amount of work in the future! I'd rather blow up than play with you guy with an extra budget!"
