Sands Group could not deny it, and the mayor of Las Vegas, as well as other casinos, did not dare to be biased, and the ownership of the Venetian Hotel was destined to change this night.

The court temporarily seized the assets to be satisfied, and the accounting proceeded immediately. The assets of a casino hotel are easy to account. Land prices, various properties and intangible assets, these are accounted for every year. It's easy for them to account for the hotel's latest assets.

Actually, Link didn't think about asking for the Venetian Hotel. But he asked for debts, and Sands Group had no way to repay them, so he could only accept this way of repaying debts.

It took the court three hours to calculate the actual assets of the Venetian Hotel. They took the final accounting report and let the people of the Adelson family see if they had any opinions.

Of course, Link also has one.

The court calculated that the figure was $4.4 billion. Link felt that number was a bit high. But he didn't want to argue about it anymore.

He thinks it's high, but Gilette thinks it's low: "The Venetian Hotel is one of the most exclusive hotels in Las Vegas, it's world-famous and attracts so many tourists every year. The perennial occupancy rate of hotel rooms is more than 90%. I think it's worth at least three billion dollars, not $1.5 billion. ”

When Link heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If the Venetian had given me an exchange yesterday, its brand value could even exceed 10 billion dollars." But now, I think a billion dollars are debatable. ”

The person in charge of the court took one look at Kremer Mondeon, saw that he did not say anything, and said: "This is calculated by our most professional team." He said, looking at Gillett. "Mr. Adelson, the Venetian Hotel is not as famous as you think. It's famous in Las Vegas!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to Link and said, "Mr. Hans, although the Venice Hotel has lost some of its reputation in this exchange turmoil. But it is still one of the world's most famous casino hotels. ”

Kremer Mondeon also said at this time: "If you have any doubts about the results of this accounting. We can put the casino into the auction process. ”

"I don't have an opinion anymore. Gillett groaned for a moment and said in a deep voice. With that, he picked up the pen and signed it. If it were to be auctioned, the price of the Venetian Hotel would certainly be lower than the total price of this accounting table. He knew exactly what the Venetian Hotel was worth.

If it is auctioned, Sands will need to pay more extra money to Link. That was a lot of pressure for him.

Link thought about it for a longer time.

He has no plans to run a casino.

Running a casino may make him more famous, but it can also have a negative impact on his reputation. And he didn't want to be on the opposite side of other Las Vegas casinos at this time.

It's just that whether he accepts the casino or lets it be auctioned, he will become mortal enemies with the Adelson family. If he refuses, the Adelson family may be annoyed and eventually join the others to buy the hotel again. Then the Adelson family's power in Las Vegas will also be restored. That's not what he wants to see.

He finally nodded and said, "I don't have an opinion either." ”

After more than two hours of formalities, the ownership of the Venetian Hotel and Casino was transferred to Link's name. And the difference of more than $900 million, because of this process, Sands can get a week to raise funds for payment. And this amount, of course, is also guaranteed.

Gilette wanted to pledge a considerable share of the Sands shares, but Link disagreed, and the two parties agreed to use the Sands property, the complex of buildings belonging to the Sands Group near the Venice Hotel, including the Sands headquarters, which is connected to the Venetian Hotel just behind the Venetian Hotel.

If Sands fails to pay less than $1 billion within a week, the properties will also go to Link.

When the Venetian Hotel became Link's property.

The Adelsons' family left with a gloomy face. Link sent off the witnesses one by one, shaking hands and saying goodbye.

The people in the Fight Association became enthusiastic about him, but the executives of the other casinos had different expressions.

Cockein finally said goodbye to Link.

He was a little complicated and said, "Anyway! I'm going to congratulate you, Link!"

Link knew what he was thinking, and smiled and said, "I think we can still be friends!"

"Haha, that's what I'm hoping for. ”

Coklein knew very well that Link was not like them, not even old Adelson, who was as rich as Link.

Link's focus is not on the casino. No matter how rich Old Adelson is, he only makes money from the entertainment and gambling industries, and the old Adelson's assets are mainly stocks and hotels.

Link is different. His industry comes faster than the old Adelson, and his existing assets are almost all cash, which means that he is more powerful than the old Adelson. The impact he can have on the rest of his Las Vegas counterparts will far surpass that of the elder Adelson.

Cockeline worries that Link's ambitions in other industries are also in the gambling industry. And Link had already established his own presence in Las Vegas before that, and he had enough foundation to carry out that kind of ambition. Maybe they can join forces to stop Link. But Las Vegas is likely to be hurt in that kind of struggle that no one wants to see.

What Link had just said, he couldn't tell if it was co-opting or perfunctory. But it's always better than Link's aggressive posture.

After everyone had left, Link sat in the conference room and waited.

The Venetian Hotel has become de facto his. But all the positions that belong to the Adelson family need to leave, and they need time to pack up their personal belongings. So, he still needs to wait.

Perhaps other casinos are also like Kleline, worried about the impact that Link's arrival at the Venetian Hotel will have on the gambling industry in Las Vegas.

Link, on the other hand, was troubled.

He was wondering who he should find to manage the casino hotel.

He thought of Martha first. Martha previously worked as a casino clerk at a casino. Familiar with casinos. And in recent years, Masha has made a good impression on him: studious, and his talent is quite outstanding.

Asking her to manage such a hotel may not be completely suitable in the short term, but he believes that she can turn herself into a qualified casino hotel manager in the shortest possible time.

But the problem is that he still has too many industries for her to manage. He can't do without her for the time being.

He thought about it for a long time. Until Ari walked in and reported, "Boss, the Adelson family has all left. ”

Today, the casino is temporarily closed due to the liquidation of assets. When to reopen is up to Link to decide. However, the hotel cannot be closed. Because there are still too many guests living in it. The hotel can't drive people away.

But fortunately, the people of the Adelson family, even if they work in the hotel, are only high-level. And the foundation of the hotel is those low-level employees. As long as these employees are not messy, there will be no major problems with the hotel.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let the managers on duty come to the meeting." ”

Eri becomes Link's temporary assistant. He was busy getting the hotel and casino managers to be called to the conference room.

Link sat in the conference room, waiting for Ari to call everyone in. Then he said to the people below, "You may have heard about it. Yes, from tonight onwards, the Venetian Hotel, is already mine. ”

"I know you may be confused. Or worry about what will change. ”

"I can promise here. There will be no big changes. At least not much will change in the short term. The only big change has already happened this evening. I will hire a new manager to manage the hotel. Until then, everything has followed. ”

He paused for a moment and continued, "I think you are also aware that some of the hotel's top brass have left. Until then, let those of you who are in high positions have the courage to take responsibility. It's okay to make mistakes, as long as you do it on purpose. I will not hold you accountable for making mistakes during this time. If you show good talent, those higher positions are waiting for you. ”

He waited for the managers to digest his words, and then said, "The casino will reopen tomorrow at eight o'clock." So people in casinos should be more cautious. Don't panic because of a change in the company's top management. The hotel should ensure that the residents are as satisfied as ever. Any comments and questions can be raised now!"

If he wants to run the hotel well, he must get the casino back up and running as soon as possible. Something like this happened today to get those residents to accept that the casino was closed. But if it's closed for too long, those guests may run to other hotels.

He waited for a while, but no one commented.

He nodded and said, "Looks like you guys know what to do." Let's all go to work. ”

and others dispersed. He went to the president's office, which had been vacated. This office belonged to Chelsea Adelson just a few hours ago. Although personal belongings have been taken away, the interior is still decorated with a feminine appearance.

Link didn't care about any of that stuff either. He sat in his office and thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind.

He dialed a call: "Douglas, sorry to wake you up. But I need you to come to the Venetian right away. I'll be waiting for you in their president's office. ”

Now that he has taken over the hotel, he wants to run it well.

In fact, it was the change in the expressions of the executives of other casinos after he got the Venetian Casino that made him wake up. He probably needs to have a big casino like this to be one of the real masters of the city.

He didn't need to rule the city. But he needs to maintain a special place in the city.

Running the Venetian Hotel well will be of great help to him in this goal.

Douglas has no business experience, but for a casino hotel, his ability to at least ensure that the casino doesn't go wrong. And his people can also be directly converted into casino security managers. Letting him manage the hotel is equivalent to finding a management team.

And Douglas also showed an ability to make good use of people. He thinks Douglas might be able to promote some people from the hotel's middle management so that the hotel can go through the change of ownership relatively smoothly.

As for the managers of the hotel. Casino hotel, the important thing is the casino! He can ask Martha to find a general manager through headhunting.
