Chapter 182 Las Vegas Phase I Project Completed
At the southernmost point of Dietmarchen, on the Elbe, at the northern sea exit of the Kiel Canal, about the place of Brunsbüttel, a construction team was stationed in these two months. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This construction team is naturally the construction team sent by Marin to build Las Vegas. After making a plan to "build a casino Las Vegas to captivate those waste aristocrats", Marin quickly mobilized people and rushed here to build the city.
It's just that if you really want to build a city, you can't do it every few years. Therefore, Marin developed a plan for the construction in batches. In the first phase, in order to pursue speed, Marin first built a compound made of bricks, but on the outside of the compound, cement was plastered...... Of course, in order to cover up the cement, the cement was plastered with lime again......
The bricks and cement make the first phase of the project construction very fast. Two months later, a large courtyard containing a casino, a tavern, and an inn appeared at the mouth of the Elbe.
In fact, in addition to the casino, tavern and inn, there is also a women's branch in this compound. It's just that because the slave trade in Crimea has not yet been opened, the slave girls have not been brought back. Therefore, there are no girls in this built women's branch. Even if it is built, it is useless, and it can only be left empty first.
After the cement dried, the first phase of the Las Vegas City project was completed, and it took less than two months to build.
Then, it's a matter of opening......
Needless to say, the tavern uses a brewer hired by Marin, and a mature dark beer made from rye that is not wanted in East Friesland. The point of cooked stout is that it has a long shelf life, so it is very suitable for selling in pubs. This cooked dark beer with hops is a drink that is not too high-end, but it is also not resistible. Even if the nobles drink, there is no shame.
In addition, a lot of wine was imported into the tavern to meet the needs of some aristocratic drinking ladies. Because, some aristocrats and many ladies, are not like and beer. There were also aristocrats who believed that beer was drunk by inferior people, and in order to show their superiority, they had to drink wine......
For this kind of request, Marlin will naturally meet it. Therefore, in the tavern in Las Vegas, there are one and two floors. The hall on the first floor is naturally open to everyone. The second floor is a VIP floor dedicated to the reception of nobles and wealthy people......
As for the inns, they adopted the standards of later generations of small inns, and duvet covers and bed sheets were widely introduced. According to the requirements, every time a guest leaves, the waiter has to change the duvet cover and bed linen and take them out to wash.
This kind of request, in later generations, is simply not worth mentioning. Because, small hotels will do the same. But in this era, when hotels were generally filthy and smelly, this was definitely ahead of its time.
In addition, there are public baths for men and women, and hot water is boiled every day, and guests are advised to take a bath. All guests who stay at the hotel can take a bath for free with the name plate of the room. The bathroom is also a cement pool. However, the old-fashioned bathroom method of separating the hot water area from the warm water area is used. The staff added fuel to the furnace under the hot water area to increase the temperature of the water instead of the steam heating that was popular in later generations.
As for the casino, because it has just been built, there are not many projects, only a few simplest ways to play, such as strut bet size, stud and fraudulent gold flower. Moreover, there are not many professional dealers and dice-shaking masters in casinos now, so you can only use a few simple items to top one first. As for the more complex oaks, the plan is to wait until the early stage is going well, and then slowly add new projects.
However, at present, there is a very inconvenient place to engage in gambling in Germany, and even in Europe as a whole, that is, the value of the currency is too large, which is not conducive to gambling......
Today, the smallest unit of currency in Germany is a finney. However, ordinary people only earn 2 Fennig a day, so they can't gamble with 2 Fennig, right? Bet twice and lose it and it's gone, and you haven't had fun yet.
Therefore, Marlin designed two types of chips for the casino......
The first type of chip was a coin similar to the later game machine coins, but Marin intended to use copper, pure copper coins......
At present, silver coins are widely practiced in Western Europe. Although many shameless countries (such as France) have almost made silver coins into copper coins. However, to date, there are no legal tender copper coins.
Of course, in Eastern Europe, there have always been copper coins. Because, the ancient Roman Empire had a legal tender copper coin. The Eastern Roman Empire inherited the culture of the Roman Empire, and naturally there were also copper coins. In addition, Spain seems to have begun experimenting with copper coins, a currency called the Malawidi. When Columbus discovered America, Queen Isabella I financed him with 1.4 million Malawi.
However, in Germany, there are no legal tender copper coins. Marin intends to promote the circulation of copper coins through the issuance of public copper coin chips......
So, Marlin planned to let the mint use copper and mint a batch of 1.5-gram copper chips for exchange. Of course, because the silver content of finney varies from country to country, the exchange ratio is also different.
For example, the reputable Imperial Finney, because the silver content is about 50%, 0.75 grams of silver can be exchanged for 7 copper coins according to the 1 to 15 silver and copper ratio, plus the other half is copper. Therefore, Imperial Finney, can be exchanged for 8 Chips Copper Coins.
Similarly, coins with a high silver content, such as Bohemian Finney, which is similar to the Imperial Copper Coins, can also be exchanged for 8 Chip Copper Coins. And some low-quality copper coins with low silver content, the amount of chips that can be exchanged for copper coins should be reduced accordingly. For example, Trelfinil, which weighs less than 1 gram and contains only 25% silver, can only be exchanged for 4.5 copper chips......
This is aimed at mid-to-high-end customers, and for low-end customers, there is also a kind of chip - stamped paper chips......
This kind of chip is cheaper, an imperial finney, which can be exchanged for 20 paper chips, which can make the poor gamble to the fullest. After all, the 2 Fennig earned by ordinary people every day can be exchanged for 40 chips, and some bet.
Of course, in order to prevent counterfeiting, Marin intends to use all paper chips in expensive high-quality products, plus stamps. Oil paper is very expensive, ordinary people do not master modern papermaking technology like Marin, the cost of ordinary paper is so high, plus the oil used to soak oil paper is also very expensive. Therefore, if the average person wants to forge chips, they have to see whether it is cost-effective or not......
The casino is also divided into two floors, the lower floor, where the common people use cheap paper chips. The upper class, on the other hand, is the upper-middle class who use copper chips and coins. Moreover, in order to promote copper coins, these chips copper coins, the casino allows gamblers to bring back. Because, the casino has already set a reasonable exchange rate, and it is not cost-effective for others to imitate it with copper coins......
It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning. When casinos, pubs and inns opened, there were very few customers. After all, it's not a major thoroughfare.
So, Griffin, the head of Las Vegas, decided to send someone to Hamburg according to Marin's instructions...... Distribute flyers......
"Russ, Hansen, Grava, the three of you, with a few beautiful waiters, holding signs, went to the city of Hamburg to march and promote. Remember, bring a drummer and beat the drums as you go, and it will attract the eyes of the Hamburgers! ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Ike, Matthew, you two, with 10 clever men, go to the city of Hamburg and hand out leaflets everywhere. Remember to hand out flyers to people who dress decently and look cultured. Don't give out leaflets to those illiterate! Griffin yelled at the other two.
In this era, handing out flyers is also a technical job. In this era of extremely high illiteracy, it is useless for you to hand out leaflets to illiterate people. Therefore, it is a test of vision to distribute leaflets to those who look like people of culture, or people from noble families. In this way, it makes sense for the flyer to be sent out. Otherwise, it's thrown into the water. After all, if you hand out leaflets to those illiterate, you might be used as toilet paper. The contents of the leaflets, which the illiterate could not understand, wasted paper in vain......
In this way, under the arrangement of the person in charge, Griffin, some employees and men of Las Vegas, divided into two groups, went to Hamburg City to promote Las Vegas......
However, Griffin also knows that the effect of this publicity may not be very good, and it can only be regarded as solving the embarrassment of not having guests. After all, the big killer of Las Vegas City, Mao Mei, is not in place yet......
When the beautiful hairy girl arrives, the women's branch will really start operating, and it will definitely be able to attract a lot of perverts......
Pornography, gambling and drugs have always been inseparable, of course, Las Vegas will not be involved in drugs, and Marin is also very opposed to drugs. But Huang and gambling can be bundled. In this way, you can also attract more customers. When those waste aristocrats move in, they can quickly corrode them and squeeze their bodies dry with fierce hairy girls......
Moreover, as an otaku in later generations, although Marin has no specific experience, he has read countless films and knows how to increase excitement. For example, uniform temptation or something, leather whip candle oil or something......
The temptation of uniforms, in this era, it is completely possible to get some female knights' uniforms, so that female ticket takers can feel the excitement of conquering female knights; You can also get some princess dresses and let Mao Mei play the role of a foreign princess; You can also let Mao Mei play the role of a foreign queen, and let the customer with the crown what; You can also get some maid outfits; Nurse outfit...... Uh, no, the nurse hasn't shown up yet...... As for the nun costumes, it is a bit blasphemous to the church...... However, if the guests bring their own nun clothes, they can also let the hairy girls try it themselves......
