800. Resort
The most important thing is that the casino below the resort at the top of the hill, hehe, that's a money-making tool.
In the three East Asian countries, because of the similarity of cultural level and the high similarity with human races, coupled with the influence of thousands of years of Chinese culture on countries such as Korea and Japan.
Chinese people are famous for their good gambling, but the Koreans and Japanese who should not be underestimated, the people of these two countries have the same hobby of gambling, and if they play, the crazy nature does not have to be bad for the Chinese.
At that time, the Japanese could even gamble on the table for the national fortune, which shows the gambling characteristics of this nation.
And making their money, so that Li Yifan will not feel guilty at all, so this business has been knocked on the tourists of these two countries, Li Yifan has long had a plan, but this business is not visible, so he and Billy have to discuss in detail how to run this casino.
In the afternoon, Heidi, who was a little tired, took the lead in falling asleep, and Li Yifan was full of energy, he woke up after a nap for an hour at noon, and after waking up, he called Billy over.
Now the resort hotel at the top of the mountain has been built, and because of the importance attached to this hotel, the ski resort and this hotel are the first to be completed.
Moreover, the two ski resorts and the mountaintop sightseeing hotel are all under the name of the foreign-funded company that Billy is in charge of, and on the surface it seems that it has nothing to do with Li Yifan.
In order to check the safety measures, the two ski resorts and the summit sightseeing hotel have now entered the trial operation stage. It has been in trial operation since the beginning of winter last year.
And Li Yifan really can't wait to hear about his cousin Billy. Debriefing on this hotel and two ski resorts.
"Grass. The Chinese are really rich. ”
This is the first thing Billy said to Li Yifan when Li Yifan asked him face-to-face, this guy is now wearing a Korean-style tight suit, wearing a pair of black sunglasses in the afternoon, long hair with wax, a big back comb, and a beard on the side of his mouth, looking completely dressed as a rogue tycoon.
Slippery hair. Even the flies stood up, and it was estimated that they were going to slip, and the ruddy face, coupled with the slightly bulging lower abdomen, told Li Yifan that during this time, his life was very comfortable.
"Oh? How do you say that? ”
Li Yifan asked Billy with a smile.
"You don't run this hotel, you don't know, it's only been a few months. I was kind of an eye-opener. A small director of the grain bureau can lose two or three million here in one night. There is also a public security chief who doesn't know where he came from, and he comes to play several times a month, and every time he makes a shot, it is hundreds of thousands, and people don't care about winning or losing. There is also a director of the tobacco monopoly of a city in the north, that guy is also now our hotel trial operation is almost six months, he has already lost no less than five million here, but people still don't care, he must arrive every month......"
Since the beginning of winter last year, the mountaintop resort and ski resort have begun to enter the stage of trial operation, but the experience of this small half a year has really opened Billy's eyes.
In the Western shijie where he grew up, most of the propaganda against China is demonized propaganda, or it is specifically looking for some poor and backward places in China to report, so in the impression of many Westerners, Chinese people are poor ghosts, all of them are the kind of goods with yellow teeth, wearing tattered clothes, squatting on the ground and eating noodles.
Billy has been coming to Huaguo for a while, and he has been staring at it during the time of the hotel's construction, so he feels that he has a very deep understanding of Huaguo.
But when the hotel casino was put into operation, he was still shocked by the Chinese people's madness for gambling.
Most of the people who come and go are the kind of people who are full of red faces, and then come in luxury cars, these people are a group of local tyrants who got rich first, and some of them come over with makeup and inconspicuous small broken cars.
But you should also not underestimate these guys, because maybe these guys are the leaders of a real power unit in a certain place.
In particular, the leaders of state-run units, grain bureaus, grain depots, or tobacco monopoly leaders, all of them are richer than the other, and those who are engaged in public security are also more generous than the other.
Losing a million in one night is a trivial matter for these people, and these people spend money like dirt, but it really shocks Billy, who thinks he is a local tyrant.
And Li Yifan listened to the situation of these people introduced by Billy, but he was not surprised at all, in Huaguo, you encounter any incredible things, don't be surprised, because maybe it won't take long for you to find that this point is nothing at all, and what is more exaggerated than this may be in the future.
As a native of China, Li Yifan has long been accustomed to such a situation, this is still a relatively backward economy in the north, you go to the south to see, look at the guys over there playing on the plate, maybe it can scare you to death.
The local tyrant bosses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is no longer interesting to go to Macau, in order to be able to play with peace of mind, those guys have not thought of any way, find a barren mountain, drill the mountain.
Or specially charter the luxury suites of five-star hotels, dozens of large and small bosses gather together, play casually, and the bets on the table will be tens of millions, and after a few years, hundreds of millions are trivial.
The eastern part of Guangdong is even more exaggerated, casually a small village official, go to Macao to play around, lose tens of millions, and don't even blink an eye, such reports are not uncommon on the Internet.
And these are all trivial, and after the development of the Internet era, what is more exaggerated than this is to engage in online gambling, and it is trivial to play cards on the Internet, and people play gambling.
The agent of a foreign gaming company has set up a gambling website in China, and in just a few months, through the flow of funds on the Internet, it can reach hundreds of millions, and the money will come quickly.
So no matter who you underestimate, don't underestimate the spending power of these Chinese officials and those local tyrants, for officials, it's the country's money anyway, and people really don't care if they lose so little.
And for those local tyrants, they all have their own ways, and it is relatively easy to make money, so they will not cherish it too much.
This is also the reason why in later generations, in the surrounding areas of China, almost all the gambling giants in Shijie will build so many casinos to attract Chinese gamblers.
From Vladivosk in Russia in the north, down to Pyongyang in North Korea, and south to Xiangjiang, Macau, there are even gambling companies that go to the mainland to pick up a group of gamblers of all sizes before the weekend holiday.
Counting down this way, you will find that in the periphery of Huaguo, an encirclement of casinos has almost been formed.
This is also the later generations even the top leaders of the dictatorship of the country have found that this gambling is completely impossible to prohibit, it is better to block, than to see this money, a lot of money into the pockets of those foreigners, it is even better for us to do a lot of money in the country, so just ten years later, there was a high-level of the country, proposed to do a so-called ' in Hainan Free Zone', adopting the Macau model, the government issues licenses, and then allows some qualified companies to open casinos, but Zuihou has not been approved because of face problems, but the voice of approval is also not low.
"Haha, how's it going, did it open your eyes? So I tell you, don't underestimate the spending power of our Chinese people. By the way, you've been running this hotel for almost six months, how is it doing? How much has it been profitable, and how many tourists have recently come to Japan and South Korea? ”
Li Yifan asked casually, in fact, the question of Japanese and Korean gamblers is what he is most concerned about, after all, just making money from our Chinese people is not such a thing, and the money of Japanese and Koreans cannot be bad either!
"Hehe, let me tell you, you may not even think that in the past six months alone, the profit of our hotel has exceeded 100 million, and by the end of this month, I estimate that it may exceed 130 million. But I don't know what will happen when we get into spring and summer, because we've just opened. During the trial operation of this ski resort, there were indeed a lot of Koreans and Japanese, and our consumption was cheaper than that of them playing this in China, so we also made a lot of money from this. And I am also in accordance with your instructions, specially selected those who have economic strength to start, from them to develop a lot of members, to our casino to spend money, these six months of hard work, we have really developed a lot of hardcore Korean and Japanese members, South Korea is about more than 300, Japan is about more than 200, these people now almost every month will come to us at least once a month to play, each time the shot is quite generous. Even many local tyrants in Russia and Mongolia have heard of our name, and they have come all the way to play with us, these guys are richer, and it is even worse to win or lose. Some time ago, a Russian tyrant and a Mongolian tyrant got into a fight, and these two people spent more than 30 million yuan on us in one night, haha, we made ...... money that time" (to be continued......
