However, the investment in the hotel industry is relatively large, generally speaking, the hardware facilities of four or five-star hotels alone include room decoration, land and various equipment will cost tens of millions of dollars. This is also due to the fierce competition in the Reno hotel industry, and the hotel scale is not large - the number of rooms in Reno star hotels is generally 42, purely to cope with the hardware rating of star hotels, where the source of customers is a big problem.

In Nevada, guest rooms have never been the main business, casinos, bars, nightclubs, and restaurants are.

Hardware facilities are never a big problem if they are rich, a star hotel in addition to the hardware to be excellent, the service of the software is also excellent. Fortunately, the service industry in the United States is very enthusiastic about tipping - the main income of waiters is tipping.

While buying a hotel in Reno may not seem like the best option, Las Vegas is saturated with the hotel industry, otherwise there would be no rumors of casinos being involved in money laundering – the Middle East Prince Casino's slump has been used too much.

After making two phone calls, Zhang Cheng went back to the bench and sat down with Uncle Daqing, Uncle Daqing had already finished eating a can at this time, seeing Zhang Cheng sit down, Uncle Daqing asked, "How long have you been in Reno?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Less than three years. ”

Uncle Daqing said categorically: "Then you must not be an international student." Reno is not a big place, and all Chinese students who work know that there is a Chinese named James who is addicted to gambling and has achieved nothing. I've been here for nine years, and all the international students here know me, and I'm their negative textbook. Hey.

But yes, I would have died without them. In the past nine years, I have been sick twice, and I have survived by relying on the medicine brought by international students from China. You know, in the United States, we look down on sickness. ”

Uncle Daqing really guessed correctly, Zhang Cheng is not an international student.

Uncle Daqing's eyes wandered and asked, "How are your aunts?" ”

Zhang Cheng wanted to say that her aunt had remarried with her two daughters. And the man is a real man and a pure man, and the mother and daughter eat it all.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Zhang Cheng had no choice but to say truthfully: "My aunt takes care of people, and there are people in the hospital to take care of them." Nursing you also know is tired. Xiaojing Xiaoying should be this year's college entrance examination, I heard that my grades are much better than I did back then. Always at the top of the class. Actually, you really want to know, wouldn't it be nice to make a phone call. ”

Uncle Daqing: "People live with a face, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense." How can your Uncle Daqing have the face to call back now. Nine years ago, I made a phone call and told them that when I got a fortune in the U.S., I would take them with me when I got my green card......."

Zhang Cheng knew that if he hadn't been harmed by gambling, Uncle Daqing, like many Chinese who came to the United States, would have locked himself in the back kitchen of a Chinese restaurant for a few years, and then went home with tens of thousands of dollars or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But how to say it. Uncle Daqing, no matter what he said, is also a master of medicine, an associate professor, and a senior intellectual, so let him pull down his face and go to work as a coolie, which is inconsistent with the thinking of people in their time. Of course, the aunt is also a person of that era, and if you want to change the modern young people, they will have to remarry with their daughters a long time ago - now it is very popular to bring their daughters to remarry, let alone twin daughters.

The two of them were silent for a while, until Zhang Cheng looked at Zhuang Ni's Mercedes-Benz in the parking lot in the distance and stopped, and Zhuang Ni walked out of the car in a suit and leather shoes as always.

When Johnny approached, Zhang Cheng got up and introduced the two of them: "Johnny, this is my partner, performance artist James. This is my personal lawyer, Johnny. ”

Then Zhang Cheng said to Zhuang Ni alone: "We have a business negotiation in a while. You go and clean up my partner James, how successful people dress up. The bill was sent to my home along with the lawyer's fees, and James was brought to the slot area of the Golden Brick Resort to find me. Got it? ”

Johnny, who entered work mode, pulled James up: "Dude, we're leaving." ”

Originally, the age of the Emily sisters was not enough to enter the casino, but how to say it, if the rules are implemented by people, there must be loopholes. Zhang Cheng used Franklin to average the age of the Emily sisters, and the security guard led the three into the casino area with a smile on his face.

I don't know how long it took to play before Zhang Cheng's lawyer Johnny arrived here with a new and successful man, James.

Then Johnny took Zhang Cheng and James to the manager's room again, and when he arrived at the manager's room, Johnny came up and said, "My boss heard that there is an intention to transfer here." ”

Manager: "My boss, Mr. John, has no intention of running the family heritage business, and we were even more disappointed that we were given a 4-star rating the year before. You must know that our equipment and services are all five-star. ”

Johnny: "May you ask why?" ”

Manager: "The North American Hotel Rating Board will send test occupants to stay at each hotel from time to time in privacy. The year before last, at three o'clock in the morning, the trial occupant was disturbed by a drunken guest passing by and the woman he took back to the room, which affected his rest. But don't worry. After learning the reason for our downgrade last year, the hotel rooms were completely renovated. The doors and walls of the guest rooms are made of the latest green and environmentally friendly sound-absorbing materials. Anything like this will never happen again. ”

Johnny: "One last thing, the transfer price of the hotel. ”

Manager: "Five and a half million dollars." Bids below this price will not be accepted by my boss, and this hotel is worth the price. ”

Johnny asked a few more questions about profitability, occupancy, staff facilities, etc., and the manager answered them one by one, and then Johnny looked at Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng nodded, Zhang Cheng had already asked about the hotel price before coming, and this price was expected. If it were a hotel of the same size, it might have to cost three times the price in Las Vegas.

Johnny: "That's no problem, when will your boss come and sign it." ”

Manager: "How about nine o'clock in the morning in two days, when there is a signing ceremony and invite some media." A hotel transfer is also a form of publicity in itself. ”

Zhang Cheng actually resisted attending the signing ceremony, but what the manager said was right, the transfer of the hotel is also a kind of publicity, for the sake of the hotel, he still has to come.

As for James, Zhang Cheng opened a room for Uncle Daqing in the hotel to stay temporarily.

Three days later, a piece of news that Chinese continue to buy the world came to light. In fact, Zhang Cheng is an American citizen, and the only Chinese mentioned in the newspaper are Uncle Daqing, who has just received a green card.

Zhang Cheng gave Uncle Daqing 3 percent of the hotel shares, and continued to live in the hotel as the hotel director and supervisor -- the manager was a talent, and after asking the other party about his intention to continue working in the hotel with the same salary (annual salary of 180,000 US dollars, 2 percent dividends per quarter), Zhang Cheng kept him in the position of general manager of the hotel.

At the same time, there are 330 employees of the hotel - some of the hotel's special 'room service' and 'body massage' personnel are not hotel employees. The hotel also doesn't pay for them, and their tips are also their own and not shared with the hotel staff. But as a comprehensive hotel, they can't do without them.

There are also some strippers, magicians, strippers, circuses, strippers, sky show dance troupes, strippers, acrobatic troupes, strippers, etc., who come to the hotel every day to perform every day, and live on the tips of the audience. Only one pianist and violinist are hired to perform at the guests' meals.

Thus. Striptease is an American culture in the United States that has not yet been declared an intangible cultural heritage.

The Golden Brick Resort Hotel, which does not plan to change its name, has only eight bars and restaurants of various styles, the largest of which is a large restaurant for wedding receptions. To take care of so many restaurants as well as guests. There are 36 chefs in the back kitchen, mainly Chinese, Japanese and Mexican.

In order to take care of the combination of the tradition of Americans who like to go to bars and the trend of the times, there are true love (friends) bar, lily bar, and rotten girl bar - the normal bar is a stripper show, and the rotten girl bar is a macho muscle show show, as for how the rotten girls make up for their brains is not something the hotel has to consider.

The day after signing, Zhang Cheng drove a Cadillac out of the splendid Golden Brick Resort Hotel and drove James to the door of a noble community not far from Bruce Farm outside the city - Uncle Daqing can't drive yet, and he belongs to the disabled sequence in the United States.

Zhang Cheng said: "The real Linuo noble community has a construction area of 216 square meters with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Your neighbors are guys with their own miniature ranch farms. One acre of land around the house can give full play to the unique talent of Chinese people to grow vegetables – otherwise you would have to drive dozens of minutes a day to buy groceries.

You don't have to worry about breaking into two black men at night and making you do such and such strange things after the robbery......"

After the Cadillac drove in, Uncle Daqing unexpectedly saw his wife and two daughters standing by a Mercedes-Benz car parked in the yard, Uncle Daqing asked Zhang Cheng excitedly: "I just made a video call to them yesterday morning, they should have just asked for leave to apply for a visa, why did they come here so soon......"

Zhang Cheng: "Luxembourg, a Catholic country, happens to be among the countries that are exempt from visas in the United States, and I have some acquaintances there, who are high-level church officials. I told the husbands and fathers of all three of them that they had been praying in church for ten years, and now they needed to get their passports as soon as possible to go to the United States to see their husbands and fathers.

After the church over there confirmed it, the Luxembourg side sent someone from the embassy in China to take a plane to the door to apply for a Luxembourg passport for this person's family, and then what about it. Caught a flight from the city to Tokyo again, and transferred from Tokyo to Reno this morning. Then I sent a lawyer to pick you up, and I went to pick you up.

That's about it. It's really gratifying, it's gratifying. ”

Another reason is that Luxembourg is very strong, very strong, financially controlled by the Vatican. Public officials stationed abroad are sometimes filled with clergy of the Church.

Uncle Daqing barely listened to what Zhang Cheng said, and after the car stopped, he opened the car door and hugged his wife and children, hugged him and cried. Seeing that a Northeast man was crying so sadly, Zhang Cheng began to wonder if Uncle Daqing was a Northeast man.

It wasn't interesting to watch the family reunite, Zhang Cheng moved a box of California snake fruit and a box of milk and a box of vacuum-packed beef from the trunk of the car into the house. Seeing Zhang Cheng enter the house, lawyer Johnny took out a bag of rice, a bag of high-gluten flour, and a bucket of salad oil from the trunk and followed him into the house.

The small western-style building on the second floor is painted pure white on the outside, and the original color of red oak planks is maintained on the inside - the furniture and appliances are complete, of course. The fridge was empty.

Zhang Cheng and Zhuang Ni cleaned up in the kitchen, and the family of four wiped their tears and entered the house. Seeing Zhang Cheng, Uncle Daqing couldn't help but say, "It's like a dream these days......"

Zhang Cheng: "Okay. Righteousness is mutual, otherwise who would talk about righteousness? We Chinese are righteous to the Chinese who are angry...... Don't talk about it, this car will be transferred to your name, learn to drive, I won't talk about the importance of driving. Call me if anything is needed. ”

Zhang Cheng left his Cadillac, and Johnny sent Zhang Cheng to the door of the Bruce Ranch garage before leaving, and Zhang Cheng drove the Lincoln Navigator SUV from the garage.

Before starting the car. Zhang Cheng made a phone call first: "Catherine baby ......"

Katherine: "Uh, Nevada's new billionaire called me!" ”

Zhang Cheng: "I've been a billionaire for a long time, and you don't know it." I just don't like to be in the limelight. How about I'll leave you a luxury suite at the Golden Brick Resort Hotel. ”

Catherine: "What's in it for you?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "The plasma cannon tube is enough!" ”

Catherine: "See you the day after tomorrow." ”

Catherine is now famous. Besides, Reno is also known as "Little Las Vegas", which is not a gamble. Besides, playing Texas Hold'em casino only earns some rake, and it is not betting against the casino, which is not playing.

Zhang Cheng went home and watched today's local news, only to know that he was famous, because after the news of signing to buy a hotel came out yesterday, everyone began to wonder where an invisible Chinese rich man appeared. Then the reporter dug it all out.

It is conservatively estimated that Zhang Cheng is now worth 10 billion US dollars, and has entered the richest 10 percent of the people in the United States.

It's just that because there has been no listed company, it is relatively low-key not to disclose financial information. Because of the legend of the winery with the highest profit and the highest valuation under his name, it is equivalent to an advertisement for Zhang Cheng - the news says that the Holy Blood Wine Estate is worth at least $9 billion, which can be said to be one of the most valuable investments in the 21st century.

The second is Zhang Cheng's original stake in the joint venture weight loss drug company, which is said to have tripled in price due to some inconvenient reasons to disclose, and the production capacity expanded tenfold last year, and the market is still in short supply. This year, the dividends under full production will be extremely considerable, and it is also out of the mentality of mending the wall. After buying the hotel, Zhang Cheng took the gene repair agent to his mentor for research to see what new drugs could be developed.

Zhang Cheng is valued at $500 million on the news that 10 percent of the weight loss drug company's shares are in the news. The remaining indoor women's teams, farms, ranches, and forestry farms are valued at $500 million or 600 million. This counts billionaires freshly baked.

Before I finished reading all the news, my father's call came: "Why did you remember to buy a hotel?" ”

Zhang Cheng was surprised: "Where did you see it?" ”

Dad: "News." ”

Zhang Cheng asked tentatively: "CCTV at seven o'clock?" ”

Dad: "Stop dreaming, online news." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Oh. ”

Dad: "We held a board meeting to study it, and the American aged whiskey that will be sold to you next month will be on the market, and it is now being distributed." When your hotel is off-season, can you allocate a few places to reward dealers with good performance? ”

Zhang Cheng: "No problem, how about a weekly star?" ”

Dad: "That's too fast, it's still the star of the month." Is the hotel so empty? ”

Zhang Cheng: "The competition is fierce, and the small profit survives. ”

Dad: "Then let's have another raffle to buy wine." Three seats per month at the Seven Days Nevada Resort? ”

Zhang Cheng: "No problem. A suite. ”

Since I drank more than 10,000 bottles of foreign wine. I'm afraid I won't come to the casino to give money.

What Zhang Cheng didn't expect later was that most of the people who came to the United States after winning the lottery were ordinary people - because the foreign liquor of this aged whisky was a luxury product, and it was not famous at first, and the sales were not very high. The winning rate is quite impressive.

And if you really like to drink this wine, the winner of the lottery is not bad for the money, nor is the money for a seven-day trip to a four-star resort hotel in the United States, and the winning ticket is often given away - again, there may not be time if you have money.

With this voucher, it is much easier to get a visa to travel to the United States, and many people see it as a ticket to work in the United States.

In fact, as far as the United States is concerned, it does not care about or is happy to see the replacement of African-American workers in China with Chinese and Mexicans, especially the crime rate of Chinese Americans is very low, and the violent crime rate is simply the lowest in the world. An American economist joked in a magazine that Greece should bring in 1 million to 2 million Chinese immigrants to create social wealth, and then Greece's huge debt could be solved.

Of course, because of the China threat theory, although the United States can sit back and watch a large number of Chinese come to the United States to work and pretend to be short-sighted, it does not want to issue so many green cards, otherwise it will not draw green cards every year and there will be no share of mainland Chinese.

After the phone call with my father, the professor called again: "I have analyzed the ingredients of the medicine you sent, and I have successfully prepared it with the real yàn room, and the effect of the new medicine obtained is somewhat different from the Chinese patent medicine you provided - it can only repair epidermal damage and protect the skin in a certain process.

Now an international cosmetics company is willing to pay $200 million for the patent for this new drug, and they are going to use it to make repair creams, foundations, facial cleansers, shower gels, facial masks and other products. What are your thoughts? ”

Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes: "Instead of letting them earn, it is better for us to earn it ourselves, I heard that the cosmetics industry is not difficult and profitable, we only need to ask the headhunter to dig the production management and sales of the cosmetics company, I think ten percent of the dividend right is enough to pull the middle and senior management of the three teams, and the rest are ours, forty-five percent each." It doesn't cost a lot of money to buy a cosmetics company that is going bankrupt. ”

Professor Nelson: "Good idea, I'm going to contact headhunters." ”

Zhang Cheng wanted to start his own cosmetics company because he saw that the shares of the weight loss pill company were less, and it was a company worth five billion dollars. And the truth of cosmetics and diet pills is very similar, as long as the effect (word of mouth) is good, there will never be a shortage of customers and markets, and the market of billions of people will make a lot of money when you think about it.
