Chapter 234: Ye Han
"Foreign-related clubs recruit female staff, including food, accommodation and clothing, and are well paid, limited to women between the ages of 18 and 25", is it familiar to see such an advertisement, and it feels a bit like returning to the first chapter of this book? However, this advertisement is completely different from the original 1945 RAA, and it is not an absurd reason to deceive, oppress or sacrifice the interests of some girls to maintain the Yamato ethnic lineage.
This is the result of Downing's hard work in Guam for more than two years and countless investments, Downing's original intention was to build Guam into a leisure and tourism resort similar to Hawaii, but after discussing with everyone, it was found that this goal was difficult to achieve, because the world economy at this time, especially the Asian economy, was far less developed than in later generations, so the return on tourism would not be particularly fast, so Downing changed his mind in time under Jimmy's reminder, and planned to build Guam into a second Las Vegas and replace the status of Macau.
Because of the successful model of Las Vegas in front, coupled with Downing's connections over the years, and Guam, after all, far away from the mainland of the United States, it can have the advantage of being far away, so Downing's application for legalization in Guam was quickly approved.
Originally a small town in the Nevada desert, Las Vegas began to prosper with the influx of gold prospectors following the discovery of gold in Nevago in 1905, but like the mining towns in the West, it was abandoned once the mines were exhausted. In 1931, during the Great Depression in the United States, in order to survive the economic difficulties, the Nevada legislature passed the bill to legalize Bejabber, and Las Vegas became a Bezzer's City, which has risen rapidly since then. The main economic pillar of Las Vegas is the gambling industry, and because the Shellfish Farm is a gold rush, tycoons from all over the United States have invested in Las Vegas to build the Shellfish Casino. Even Japanese tycoons, Arab princes, and famous actors have come to invest.
Today, Las Vegas has 250 shellfish farms and more than 60,000 "slot tigers", opening day and night, and its grandeur can be compared to Monte Carlo, the world's shellfish city in Monaco, Europe. It is home to nine of the world's 10 largest holiday inns and is one of the world's most famous holiday destinations.
In addition to Las Vegas and Monte Carlo, the other city of Shellfish is Macau. However, at this time, Macau has not been fully developed, and later the world-famous Lisboa Palace opened, which was also in 1962, at this time it was Fu Laorong and Gao Kexing's Taixing company to underwrite Macau's gaming industry (Macau's gaming industry has been implemented in the shell king system, that is, there is only one head office on the island, and the rest are all branches, there is no second, as if it was changed in eight years. So Downing's plan was to replace Macau with a modern Guam. Before, he told Yan Zhen that he needed hundreds of security guards to prepare for the shellfish farm here.
In fact, Okinawa is more suitable than Guam, because Downing has deeper roots in Okinawa, but because of selfishness, Downing has always regarded Okinawa as his base camp to build, so he doesn't want so many tourists to appear here all day long, who knows what they are here for, so he built Okinawa into an industrial base, and the headquarters of all its large factories are here.
I want to open a shellfish field. In addition to huge investments, modern equipment and ample manpower, there is another category of people who are indispensable. That is the master of the shell who is responsible for the operation of the shell field, that is, we commonly call the shell king, although in reality there is no such thing as the shell king, the shell saint, the shell hero or something, but the master of the master does exist, and the master invited by Tang Ning this time is Ye Han, who is famous in Macau.
The personal development history of Ye Han is almost a living history of the Macao Bei Zhe. Ye Han was born in a small merchant family in Guangdong, since he was a child, he was a shellfish lover, and when he was a teenager, he went to Macau's "Cheng Cheng Shellfish Field" as a dealer, and after the opening of Haoxing in 1930, he passed Haoxing. Soon became the top dealer of Haoxing, but unfortunately his skills are good, but not the attention of the boss Lu Jiu, so he did not work for two years, he defected to Fu Laorong's banner, and so on in 1937 Fu Laorong and Hong Kong and Macao Mortgage King Gao Kening bid to Macau Bei Zhe card, the establishment of Taixing company, Ye Han did Taixing Sic Bo director (there are also directors who play dice, I don't know if there is mahjong and poker).
However, his stinky temper hurt him again, and after breaking the "Listening to the Dice Party", this guy was fluttering, and he spoke wildly everywhere, claiming that if he didn't have him, Taixing would have to go bankrupt, Fu Laorong and Gao Kening would have to jump off the building, and Fu Ye turned against him, Fu Laorong drove Ye Han out of Macau, and Ye Han wandered the rivers and lakes again. (I have the impression that there is a very old Hong Kong TV series that plays the story between the two, but I really can't remember the name, a friend who knows told me in the book review, and gossip, Ouyang's chubby daughter-in-law is Fu Laorong's granddaughter.) )
However, Ye Han's shellfish games in Shanghai and Vietnam failed, so Tang Ning took advantage of the situation a year ago, and invited him over with a high salary and the treatment of the general manager of the shellfish field, in fact, Tang Ning definitely took advantage of the situation, because after Fu Laorong died of illness in 1960, Ye Han united with Stanley Ho and Ye Deli (this is a super playboy that I personally envy) to bid for the shell card and established Lisboa Entertainment Company, of course, he had a conflict with Stanley Ho in the later period and was driven away
Although Tang Ning doesn't like this kind of arrogant guy, but his skills have absolutely nothing to say, so he has to find such a person to sit in the early stage, but Tang Ning didn't put all his hopes on him, he also hired a shell field monitoring team with a high salary in Las Vegas, using the power of high technology to make up for the lack of Ye Hanchun's personal skills.
At first, Ye Han was very unconvinced by this, but after he saw the scientific and technological strength of the monitoring team, he was immediately impressed by this technology and agreed to share the management power of the shellfish hall, and the monitoring team was also shocked that there were really masters in the world who were so strong in hearing and mental arithmetic.
In addition, Downing's new business philosophy is also a major factor in convincing Ye Han, at this time, whether it was the former Haoxing or the current Taixing, no matter how the scale expanded, it was the path of the traditional shellfish file, until the later period of Lisboa to keep up with the trend of the times, imitating Las Vegas to embark on the development direction of entertainment companies, and Downing this time simply copied Las Vegas's "hotel + shellfish field, Las Vegas model with high investment and high return".
