Chapter 7 If there are better conditions, what are you waiting for?

When he took over as the owner of the island, Lin Zhicheng had already obtained a sufficiently detailed report.

The information contains two parts, of which the details of Lin Zhicheng's personal assets account for only one-tenth of the page, and the other 90 percent are detailed descriptions of the current situation of the Nalan Islands.

Either it has not been carefully investigated, or because the relationship with the federal government is not very good, and there is not enough technical support, resulting in poor detection methods, so that nothing is found. In short, in the report card that Lin Zhicheng obtained, there was no part about mineral resources.

There are no minerals to develop, and this result directly cuts off a way to get money the fastest.

Well, even if there are minerals that can be developed on the island or in the nearby seas, at this stage, Lin Zhicheng may not be willing to take this path.

You know, the natural environment of the Naran Islands is no worse than those famous resort islands, because of the geographical location, there are even more winter scenes that are not found on those tropical islands, no matter how you look at it, it is the most ideal plan to take advantage of this location to develop tourism.

Although a large amount of money can be obtained in a short period of time through the development of mineral resources, the large amount of pollution generated by the process of mineral development will inevitably have a great negative impact on the environment on the island and even in the sea.

Although he is an otaku who does not have much knowledge, Lin Zhicheng still knows a little bit about the importance of 'sustainable development' under the indoctrination day after day.

It is precisely because of this idea that Lin Zhicheng did not think of using the exploration function in his 'auxiliary system' - the system must be a high-quality product, and if you use this system, you may really be able to find out some mineral resources that have never been discovered before.

It's better to focus on the development of tourism resources, in fact, Lin Zhicheng also thought so early on, just because he didn't have enough knowledge and couldn't find a clue.

And now, the island's casinos have given him the best reminder.

How to attract people to the situation of nothing, and then develop a tourist city? The easiest way is undoubtedly the casino development plan. Morocco, Las Vegas, Macau, these are all existing examples.

Take the most famous Las Vegas, for example.

Back in the day, Las Vegas was a small village, with only a few Mormons living there.

Later, with the discovery of gold and silver mines in Nevada, Las Vegas was first developed on a large scale from a small village to a municipal district with a large population.

However, mineral resources are ultimately non-renewable, and as the gold rush subsides, so do the miners who settled in Las Vegas. When the population entered a negative rhythm, and the magnitude was getting larger year by year, the Las Vegas city government began to use its brains.

All kinds of methods have been used, and the effect is not obvious. Even if the nearby Hoover Dam was built, bringing more hydropower resources to Las Vegas, the city's development still did not get enough help to change the previous decline.

Then, in an effort to overcome the economic crisis brought on by the Great Depression, the Nevada state government finally went off the rails and passed a bill to legalize gambling.

The first to benefit from this bill was Las Vegas.

As early as ten or twenty years ago, when there were still many miners living here, in order to meet the needs of the miners, many casinos and technical institutes were established in the city. Although it was closed for a while, because of the original foundation, Las Vegas still caught up with the first wave and became the first city in the whole of Nevada to carry out large-scale development on the Bo Lottery industry.

No matter how big or small, as long as it is a casino, it can be regarded as a gold bowl.

After the beginning of the development of the gambling industry, Las Vegas immediately became a sweet spot in the eyes of countless people, not only the capital tycoons in the United States have invested in the construction of casinos here, and even attracted the rich of RB, Arab princes and those big stars who have a lot of money in their hands, so that they have also paid money to invest in the industry here.

By 1946, just after the end of World War II, the United States was not only the victorious power, but also the country that benefited the most. The vast number of American people are still in an unfinished mood, perhaps trying to take advantage of this mood to guide people to stuff money into their pockets, or maybe the tycoons themselves are still interested in playing big, in short, Las Vegas finally has its first large casino.

From this point on, the shotgun was replaced.

More large casinos were built, then desert resorts were developed, and then, as the foot traffic increased, so did nightclubs, hotels, restaurants, and other ancillary facilities.

Eventually, Las Vegas developed into a huge entertainment city, and it deservedly took the top spot not only in the United States, but also in the whole world.

Compared to Las Vegas a few decades ago, the conditions in the Narain Islands are not a little better.

The first is the environment. In fact, in terms of the surrounding natural environment, none of the four existing casinos in the world is the opponent of the Nalan Islands.

Not to mention Las Vegas, located in Nevada, surrounded by abandoned mines except for the extremely inhospitable Gobi Desert.

Atlantic City, Macau, and Morocco are much better than Las Vegas, but they are only coastal cities located on the mainland, and they are still not comparable to the Naran Islands, which are really in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

The industry can bring the first batch of funds for the development of the city, but what really provides sustainable power is the tourism industry that relies on the development of the industry.

Needless to say, the development of tourism depends on the natural environment, and it is clear that the Nalan Islands, which have better natural conditions than the four major casinos, will definitely develop better than them if they develop tourism centered on the gambling industry.

Then there is the policy convenience.

In the final analysis, the industry is a risky industry, whether it can maintain health in the process of development, is also a very important point.

Compared with the four major casinos, the Naran Islands also have an advantage in this regard. After all, it belongs to Lin Zhicheng's 'private property', and when formulating new policies, you only need to refer to Lin Zhicheng himself and the opinions of the self-government on the island, unlike Las Vegas, which has to refer to the laws formulated by the Nevada state government in addition to its own factors before making a decision.

……………………………………….

"So, that's it, do you have any other opinions?"

Just because you have an idea doesn't mean you can settle things down. Although Lin Zhicheng could pose, as the owner of the island, forcibly passed the proposal, firstly, he was not such a strong character, and secondly, in order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the new guys under his command who had only been in contact with him for a short time, he still found a time to put forward the 'casino plan' at a more formal meeting.

This is a big plan that will affect the future development of the Naran Islands, and it cannot be decided in one or two meetings.

After five plenary meetings and countless small discussions between the leaders, Lin Zhicheng went to the island for a month, and the final detailed plan was finally voted on and won the approval of various departments on the island.

"Not for the time being. ”

"I don't have a problem here. ”

Under the leadership of Finance Commissioner Carter, Police Chief Alexander, Civil Affairs Commissioner Lawrence, and several other commissioners in charge of transportation, medical and other industries also nodded their heads and said that they had no objections.

"In that case, let's start talking about the next step. Lin Zhicheng nodded.

The Nalan Islands' own financial resources alone are obviously not enough to complete the entire construction plan, and even if Lin Zhicheng's private treasury is all invested in it, it will not be able to fill that hole. Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, it is also a matter of course to set up a team to attract investment.

There is no objection to the formation of a negotiation team for investment promotion. But there were some disagreements about how to form the team and how to act after the team was formed.

"I'm not going to participate....... As soon as he came up, Lin Zhicheng gave everyone a big surprise.

As the owner of the entire Nalan Islands, you want to stay out of the matter? Although all of us have the name of the director, in the final analysis, we are just small soldiers under you, and we have no final decision.

From this point of view, the big guys couldn't quite understand Lin Zhicheng's thoughts, and Carter took the lead, and everyone expressed their opposition to his idea of wanting to be the shopkeeper.

"Don't be so excited, everyone, listen to me first, OK?" In the face of everyone's protest, Lin Zhicheng could only smile bitterly and raised his hands to make a gesture of 'please be restless'. When the scene calmed down, he continued to explain: "First of all, I have no experience. As you know, not long ago, I was just an ordinary person living at the bottom, let alone negotiating with those big conglomerates, and I didn't even have a few formal conversations with my neighbors, so it was obviously irrational for me to let an inexperienced person lead the negotiations. ”

"Besides, I'm a boss anyway, right? Think about it, when you negotiate with the other party, will the other party let the boss come forward at the beginning? I must talk to the people below for a while, and after I have a basic cooperation proposal, and then use it to go to the principal to make a decision, right? So, even if it is to keep us from losing the initiative in the negotiation, I can't show up from the beginning. ”
