Located at the new port of Macau, the Sands has aroused strong interest from gamblers from the very beginning of its construction. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info This comes from the fact that almost all casinos in Macau have the surname Ho, and everyone is looking forward to a new casino to break the deadlock.

In order to complete it as soon as possible, the first phase of the construction of the Sands mainly completed the casino part, with a total of 22,000 square meters of business area, and the casino area accounted for nearly 20,000 square meters.

Since the opening of gambling in 2000, Sands has been almost the fastest, and when other casinos were still in the preparatory stage, Sands' casino became the first to open.

This is mainly because Sands is not short of money, the first phase of investment of 260 million US dollars is only a few days of turnover for Sands, and the second is the full support of two major antiques.

Temasek has always had a very broad social presence in Southeast Asia, whether it is in the Mainland, Macau or Hong Kong, and we will get a lot of help if we want to do something.

And although Zhou You is a newcomer who has sprung up, he has suppressed countless local snakes because of his huge assets and ruthless style. Even the He family did not create all kinds of resistance to the opening of Jinsha, let alone others.

A hundred strong bodyguards, even in Hong Kong, a place where there are many clubs, is a big force, not to mention that there are hundreds of strong teams behind Zhou You who can be pulled out at any time.

This also caused Jinsha to encounter no difficulties at all from preparation to construction, and was built smoothly.

There are only 51 rooms in the entire casino, and all of them are luxury suites, and there are no ordinary rooms. However, there are 438 Chinese and Western gaming tables and 921 slot machines. In addition to the midfield on the first floor, there is also a VIP area Paiza Club and a non-smoking area.

When he opened the ceremony, most of the bigwigs from Hong Kong and Macau came, and the chief executive of Macau also came in person, and the whole celebration was very lively.

In order to attract tourists and gamblers, the casino has expanded the return ratio for the first three days, and the casino will not charge any profits and return all the profits to the tourists. The proportions of the various gambling methods were advertised in the newspapers of Macau and Hong Kong for nearly a month, and as a result, on this day, the entire casino was overcrowded, and all the gambling tables were crowded, and at the end of the day, the casino's turnover exceeded one billion patacas.

In his previous life, Sands Macao opened in 2004 and earned back all his investment in half a year, making Adelson make a lot of money.

In this life, the casino opened a year early, and the windfall period will also be extended by one year.

At the celebration that day, Adelson was full of ambition and became the most high-profile person in the audience. On the contrary, Zhou You has been relatively low-key, except for showing up at the celebration, and then hiding in the hotel suite to meet with the founder team of Baidu who came from the mainland.

Opening a casino has always been a sensitive project in the mainland, and traveling in Spain has already won the reputation of a casino tycoon, and he is no longer associating his identity with a Macau casino tycoon.

Mr. Li and his entourage arrived in Macao in order to accommodate the time of travel. Meeting with them, Zhou You gave him a complete introduction to the topics they had talked about with Larry Page.

Although there are many contents that Mr. Li is more interested in, due to the different national conditions, the development focus of the two sides is still slightly different.

At present, the three companies of BAT, except for Tengxun, do not have the hegemony of later generations, because Xinlang and Wangyi have been listed in the United States and have become truly "large" companies, while Baidu and Ali are still in the development stage.

Tencent is currently the hottest network company in China, the development of QQ is expanding virally, the current registered users have exceeded 100 million, becoming the most widely used instant messaging software, except for some pretending to use MSN that is not easy to use, there are almost no opponents.

The expansion of registered users has also led to the boom of the game platform, and Tengxun, which is still a joint-stock company, has become the most profitable company in China for three consecutive years, and its profitability has also squeezed into the top ten in the world.

Also because of the influence of Tencent, as soon as the network was listed in the United States, it fell below the issue price, although their founder became the richest man in the mainland, but the richest man is no less troubled than others.

In order to correctly guide their development, Zhou You even sorted out some confidential contents of his meeting in the United States and gave it to Mr. Li, hoping to inspire him, which is the only thing he can do at present.

They were very interested in cross-shareholding with Google, but they simply didn't have the funds to complete the exchange.

The current total valuation of Baidu is not more than US$2 billion, and this is due to the strong support of Zhou You and Temasek, which has greatly appreciated their assets, and if we follow the development of the previous life, their total market value is now less than US$200 million.

Google's valuation has already reached $20 billion, and Microsoft's $18 billion acquisition was directly rejected. Therefore, the equity value of the two companies is completely asymmetrical, and if Baidu wants to hold shares, he needs to come up with at least $900 million to make up for the difference in price.

They can go to the bank to settle some of the money, because even the bank knows that Google's stake is a cash cow. However, relying solely on the support of banks will bring serious financial pressure to the company.

If you rely on the support of shareholders, this is also difficult to operate, because Baidu is like a snake swallowing an elephant at this time, and shareholders take out funds completely to make money, and how many shares does Baidu have to distribute to shareholders?

So, that five percent stake looks delicious, but Baidu simply can't afford to eat it right now.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mr. Li still said with some regret: "Mr. Zhou, I really can't eat all the five percent of the shares in your hand!" ”

Zhou You didn't care, and said with a smile: "In this way, you find the bank to solve a part, and our major shareholders support a part according to the proportion, or you can give me a little more shares, I will sell you as much as I can eat, and I can reserve these five percent of the shares for you until Google goes public." ”

This condition is very generous, and Zhou You is willing to subscribe to them at the current price, which is a preferential condition that no one else will give.

I also talked with the people of Baidu for two days, and both sides had a frank exchange of views on the development of the company and the competition with Google. Obviously, this meeting was of great help to Baidu, and when Mr. Li and the others left Macau, they all had smiles on their faces.

This matter also has the benefits of traveling, and the smooth development of whiteness and Google will naturally bring him rich returns.

After sending off the whiteness people, Sanchez, who returned, hesitated and asked, "Boss, can I also buy a little whiteness stock from you?" ”

For the people around him, Sanchez can certainly get many investment opportunities from the business negotiations around him. He knew that Sanchez had invested almost all of his money in the stock market, and that the stocks he had invested in were companies like Apple. But this is the first time to buy stocks directly from Zhou You's hands. He laughed: "Why do you suddenly want whiteness stocks, in terms of potential, whiteness should not be as good as Google, right?" ”

Sanchez laughed: "Although I also make a lot of money by the boss's side, Google's stock is still a bit too expensive for me, my money can't buy too many shares, and I don't want to ruin the boss's plan." ”

Zhou You thought for a while and said: "Let's give you Google shares, the U.S. Business Management Council requires me to reduce my stake to five percent before going public, and it is obviously impossible for Baidu to eat all the shares I transferred, I can allocate a part to you." Can you get two million dollars? ”

Since following Zhou You, Sanchez's annual salary is only one million, but it is about to exceed the annual salary, so two million is not a large amount for Sanchez.

"I can take up to four million."

Zhou You said with a smile: "Yes, then four million, I will reward you with one million worth of stocks, and when you trade with Baidu, I will also handle it for you." ”

"Thank you, boss, then I'll arrange a plane for the night." Sanchez was pleased with the result, and he understood the significance of giving him an extra million dollars in stock at the end of the tour, which was a loyalty bonus for not acting privately.

For Zhou You, he doesn't care about money, what he cares about is Sanchez's loyalty. With Zhou You, although Sanchez sacrificed a lot of personal time, but in exchange for a lot of income and the improvement of the entire social level.

The $5 million stock, which, as long as there are no major surprises, will multiply in a few years, will be richer than most people in this world, and Sanchez is paying for his loyalty.

He knows very well that his own ability is far from being particularly outstanding, and he can be trusted by Zhou You, on the one hand, because of his meticulous work, considerate service, and more importantly, because of his absolute loyalty to Zhou You.

Sánchez often wondered what he would do if an organization had arrested him, tortured him, and wanted to know the secrets of his travels.

But after thinking about it, he didn't dare to really betray Zhou You completely. First of all, he has been tested for endurance to pain, and when ordinary torture is useless to him, and when he feels unbearable, his body has been completely damaged.

And his family and relatives will be ashamed of him, no longer have the pride of being a Basque, and will suffer strong revenge from his travels. He has never really been afraid of anyone, but he is afraid of Zhou You from the bottom of his bones.

This is not only because of the cruelty of Zhou You, but also because of Zhou You's seemingly omniscient brain and the ability to control everything. The more things he experienced behind Zhou You, the more he was afraid of Zhou You, and he couldn't imagine what made this young man a few years younger than himself become such a mature hero.

Ignorance represents fear.

But the known fear really goes deep into the bone marrow. (To be continued.) )
