As Brian expected, after the biggest gamble ended, the VVIPs who had achieved their goals dispersed one after another, using the local airport in Malta to go their separate ways. Shi Hu also planned to retreat, and when the boat picked up his luggage in the evening, the super VIP area was empty, and the small casino was closed.

On the way out, they ran into Betyeva in the elevator.

Mrs. was dressed in a suit similar to a morning dress, very temperamental, wearing a pair of sunglasses, and only one female bodyguard by her side, so she didn't see the rigorous formation in the past. Out of politeness, Shi Hu nodded at her. Although they had only met three times and didn't talk much, they had a good impression of her, which was very inexplicable.

Brian greeted him as well, then fell silent as the elevator stopped and walked briskly ahead.

"Good luck, ma'am." After Shi Hu finished speaking, he left with them.

"You too, lad." She said behind her back.

Shi Hu followed the previous friends, Brian's tense expression eased, and Paul wondered, "Why do you seem to be nervous?" ”

Brian looked back, and Paul guessed, "Is it because of that lady?" ”

Brian said, "Do you know who she is? ”

"I don't know, but judging by your reaction, it should be very identity, right?" Although Paul has distanced himself from the black world, he still has eyesight.

Brian nodded: "Very promising." All I can tell you is that Ulyana Beteyeva can be said to be the employer of my employer. ”

Shi Hu understood: "I was afraid of the boss, and it existed in any industry." ”

Paul laughed too, agreeing.

Brian smiled bitterly: "In other industries, if you anger the boss, at most you will fire the squid, in this industry, if you do something wrong, you may disappear." ”

Everyone could feel the heaviness when they listened, and Shi Hu changed the topic: "No matter what, anyway, tomorrow I will be a happy casino owner in the sunny world!" ”

Paul smiled, "Good attitude." ”

Brian said to Shi Hu again: "Remember the contact information I left, and contact you in half a month." If it changes, I will notify you by other means. ”

Shi Hu nodded: "I understand." ”

……

After several consecutive transfers and several rushes, I returned to the casino.

The tired crowd went to rest first, and the jet lag was reversed.

Eva also parted ways with Shi Hu, although they got along well, they were not all the way after all.

After the work and rest were normal, Shi Hu and Paul agreed on a time to negotiate on the issue of the hotel changing hands. Although it is generally confirmed, some details have to be pondered together. There is a renovation budget in the cooperation fund, and Shi Hu has some ideas about the use of the budget.

Shi Hu called his follower and drove to the Maxim Hotel.

Because it is about to become its own industry, Shihu Road looks very carefully. To sum up, Maxim is only a street away from the Long Street. The street where the hotel is located is one of the main roads leading to Long Street after coming out of McCarran Airport, and the traffic flow is okay on weekdays.

It is close to Belle, Paris, Bellagio and other well-known casino hotels, if it is the weekend rush, it will be benign radiation. The location is not bad, it can't be compared with the giants on both sides of the long street, but compared to the casinos in the city center, it still has a future.

Michael arrived in a car and looked through the window: "Cool! This is the territory of the gangs in the future? ”

"Gangs? I've taken you out to see the world for nothing! Shi Hu got out of the car.

Michael scratched his head, followed with a grin, and then turned to the silent Mars and said, "Hear me clearly, right?" We are not gangs, we are businessmen. ”

Mars rolled his eyes: "You said it yourself." ”

Michael wanted to pinch him...... But it's not high enough, and jumping may be possible.

……

Wait for Paul to show up and start walking floor by floor to learn more about it.

Like the mega hotels, Maxim has a huge three-storey podium, just like a Walmart supermarket, with a huge interior with casinos, restaurants, shops and bars. The main casino area is about 3,000 square meters.

The size of the casino is not comparable to that of the big hotels on Long Street, which has about 500 slot machines, hundreds of tables, mainly blackjack and baccarat, and a dedicated poker room, which may be the reason why Paul can play poker. In addition, there is a dedicated VIP lounge.

After visiting the mall-like podium, Shi Hu had an idea: he wanted to keep the size of the casino, completely renovate the bar in the west, and transform it into a luxury strip club with the "Red Queen" brand - since he couldn't stand out from the casino, he took the special route.

If you want to attract customers, the most taboo is mediocre, and the casino is limited by the scale and cannot be bigger, so make the strip club bigger, and then hang eye-catching neon signs on the exterior wall, and find a few spicy models to use as advertising covers...... When Paul was told the idea, he agreed, and it was surprisingly successful.

Other self-operated shops and restaurants will continue to be retained...... It may be good to add a Chinese restaurant, and if you eat Western food all day, you will definitely get tired of it. I just don't know where to find someone who can cook authentic Chinese food? Further up, the third floor is lined with entertainment and fitness venues, as well as an outdoor swimming pool.

The use of resources in the podium is very reasonable, and there is only one place to start construction: the strip club.

After the podium tour, the main building built on the podium is up. The main building is a typical casino style, with a long strip, more than 100 meters long, 12 floors high, and 15 floors high with the podium. The main building is mostly used for lodging, with a dining area on the middle floor and suites on the top floor.

According to Paul, as a four-star hotel, it has 800 guest rooms, including more than 70 suites, and the occupancy rate of rooms in the tourist season can reach 90%, but it usually declines, hovering around 65%. If the average year, it can maintain about 75%, and the average room price is 90 US dollars.

Shi Hu has also done surveys before, most of them are compared with domestic ones, after all, they are familiar and live more. First of all, let's talk about the star level, it is not a problem to put it in China, and it is no problem to be five-star. Because the competition in Las Vegas is too fierce, those that can go to the five-star are actually super five-star.

In terms of room occupancy, the average of four-star hotels in China is about 55%, which is much higher here, but after all, it is a tourist city, and the value is normal. Paul revealed that when there are major boxing events in the casino and the National Day holiday, the five-star hotels will soar to more than 95%.

Five-star hotels, their rooms are calculated in "thousands", in the case of MGM Grand, it has more than 5,000 rooms...... It really can't be compared with the giants, it's too shocking. Even the four-star hotels on both sides of the long street are thousands, otherwise I would be sorry to burn money to invest.

is also a four-star, Shi Hu is embarrassed.

"High investment, high return - the Las Vegas model. If you know that Caesars Palace has a revenue of more than 400 million a year, a net profit of hundreds of millions, and an investment that can recover the cost in a few years, you will also sharpen your head, squeeze to both sides of the long street, and smash down two or three billion yuan to build a five-star hotel. ”

"Are there any seats on either side of the long street?" Shi Hu went crazy.

Paul slapped his hand away and smiled, "Empty seats can be created, you just blow up those little hotels." But billions of funds, where to find? ”

"Sooner or later." Shi Hu is ambitious.

"It's still young people who are motivated." Paul admires that he has no more energy.

Shi Hu really thought about buying Maxim, just to accumulate experience, and its location and pattern are destined to only be in the middle of the stream. If you can buy sixty or seventy acres of land next to the long street and build a super-massive casino hotel with thousands of rooms......

"Master." Michael felt like he was wandering.

Shi Hu came back to his senses, looked at this luxury suite, and was quite satisfied: "The overall is still good, but the electronic equipment needs to be updated." ”

Michael said: "The exterior should also be decorated, and the face should not be lost." ”

"You do." Shi Hu smiled, left the room, and continued to visit.

He spends the whole day visiting. The hotel doesn't look big on the outside, but if you have to walk through it carefully, it's not enough time in a day. In the evening, when they had dinner at their self-operated restaurant, Shi Hu had already made up his mind, and the big change was the strip club, and other aspects were small.

It's like updating equipment, replacing aging circuits and plumbing, replacing flat-screen TVs, equipping them with better computers, and maintaining a four-star rating. Then re-beautify the exterior of the hotel, clean the windows, and hang a big sign that can be seen from a kilometer away......

Last year, the hotel underwent a small renovation, and Shi Hu's task was to improve the hotel as much as possible from the budget of 10 million US dollars, after deducting the cost of the strip club. He couldn't find a way to make a fortune, so he could only use this casino hotel as a base to practice and wait for the opportunity.

Keep your eyes down, he'll learn to be a casino owner first.
