Chapter 304: Dubai Tour 3
Some people are tempted by Huafu Auction, Guo Yu can understand, who is not willing to make money, but Guo Yu will not give up his holding of Huafu Auction, as for some scattered shares, selling to some big forces, can also strengthen the strength of Huafu Auction, it is not impossible.
All enterprises in the world, to attract the strength of teammates is to strengthen their own on the road must do, Huafu auction to today, if you want to develop steadily, continue to expand the business, must also take this step, to win over the strength of people or enterprises, the formation of partnerships.
Since Prince Isha of Dubai has proposed it today, it is also an opportunity, and Prince Isha's mention today may not be the mention of the royal family, because as a member of the royal family, many times, he must be considered for the family.
"Is there an opportunity to invest in the head office of Huafu Auction?" Isha asked persistently.
Guo Yu thought about it for a while and said, "Yes, but it won't be more than 5%, and the price will definitely not be less, of course, you can also invest in the Dubai branch, you can think about it yourself." ”。
Isha thought about it for a moment, "I'll let the accountant do the accounting, let's not talk about this topic today, let's watch the horse race." After speaking, he took Guo Yu and the others out of the box directly, and after a while, the group came to a very high-tech place built with great scientific and technological content, the stable.
Prince Isha took a few people to visit his horses, including Arabian horses, hot-blooded horses, and Dutch warmbloods, which are not known recently.
Raising horses is a hobby for rich people, an excellent horse, the price itself is between hundreds of thousands of dollars and tens of millions of dollars, raising and training a racing horse every year, the cost will not be less than hundreds of thousands, and they don't just raise a horse, this stable is Isha's own private stable, which has more than a dozen famous horses. Definitely priceless value.
There were no formal events in the morning, so after visiting Isha's private horses, I joined my family and entered a restaurant that was only accessible to royals for lunch.
In the afternoon, Guo Yu took his family to visit the art center and off-site performances, and the organizers made the event very lively. In the afternoon, many spectators came in one after another, making the place more popular.
This is just a small event, and it can be regarded as a warm-up for the big horse race to be held in March, and with so many people here, it shows that the Dubai government spent $3 billion to build such a world-class racecourse, which is really rewarding.
And when the idea of Dubai is to promote Dubai, not to make money, so to say. To be rich is to be capricious, and this is especially true in Dubai.
Marseille is finally open, but the biggest difference between Dubai and Hong Kong or other racecourses is that there is no horse betting here in Dubai, because this is an Arab country, and Muslim religion prohibits gambling.
The prohibition of alcohol and gambling is a doctrinal requirement, but for some big people, it is a private matter. It's not something that anyone else can manage, gambling in private. In this country where there are too many rich people, it cannot be forbidden, and the amount is definitely not small, it belongs to the kind of gambling that spends a lot of money.
However, everyone here is a friend, so there is no big amount of gambling. A few people just to increase the atmosphere, each invested 1 million yuan, bought the horses they liked, and whoever won in the end belonged to whom.
It's a bit simpler and crude, as long as the horse you buy can outperform the other people's horses. Even if you win, it doesn't matter if your horse gets first, even if it's third or fourth, as long as you outperform everyone else's horse, then the bet will be yours.
The people here are absolutely rich, so naturally they don't value the mere $1 million, it's just to be happy.
Guo Yu was lucky, and in the end, he guessed the victory of four games, which was the biggest winner of the day. Riyadh laughed and said that Guo Yu could go to the casino in the Burj Khalifa and maybe win a lot of money.
The Burj Khalifa was only opened in 2010 and is now the tallest building in the world, with a height of 828 meters and a total of 162 floors, where there are residences, shopping malls, office buildings, and many high-end places for external operations, such as beauty, shopping, swimming pools, and of course, casinos.
However, Riyadh said that the casino is run by foreigners, but it has shares in the Dubai royal family, and the casino does not allow Arabs to gamble, only foreigners are allowed to gamble there, which can be regarded as blocking the road of Arab gambling.
"Yes, even if you don't gamble, it's good to see the scenery from the world's tallest tower." Guo Yu has long wanted to experience the feeling of the casino, he used to have no money, but he didn't have time after he had money, even if it was Macau, which was close at hand, Guo Yu had never been there, and this time he just had time, so he went to Dubai to see it.
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow, and I haven't been there for some time." Riyadh said.
It seems that the rule that the Arabs do not allow gambling is just an empty phrase in front of these people, and it is also said that if you make so much money, if you don't let it be spent and enjoyed, then what is the money for, they are not ascetics.
Guo Yu is now relaxed and doesn't think about other things, just thinking about spending time with his family and lover, and at the same time letting himself take a break.
In the time and space of the Republic of China, even Guo Yu has spent a lot of energy on the war and the politics of various countries, saying that the nerves are a little too tense, but it is inevitable that there will be pressure, after all, one of his decisions will affect the direction of a country with millions of people, and even life and death.
The next night, Guo Yu took his fiancée Huang Wenjing and his eldest brother Huang Jiaqiang to the casino on the 66th floor of the Burj Khalifa with Riyadh.
"Mr. Riyadh, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the casino." A casino reception manager greeted him. If you want to have a guest like Riyadh, the casino has guest information, and memorizing the information of these guests is one of the jobs of these casino reception managers.
"I'll bring my friends over to play, I'm familiar with this place, I don't need you to entertain me, I'll explain to them tonight." As he spoke, he handed out a hundred-dollar bill, and the reception manager happily accepted it and sent a few people into the casino.
The corridor feels very artistic, and there are rest areas and dining areas on both sides, which also seem very quiet and warm, giving Guo Yu the first feeling that this is not a casino, but a leisure bar.
"This is the rest area, we haven't really entered the casino yet, come on, friends, the place where we fight is ahead." Riyadh said as he led the crowd to a golden hall.
Absolutely luxuriously decorated, revealing the atmosphere of local tyrants everywhere, this is the casino, not crowded, but there are definitely a lot of people, the atmosphere is very warm, people throw passion on the gambling table to enjoy the heartbeat.
"Big brother, are we separated or together?" Guo Yu asked Huang Jiaqiang.
"I think we will each find our favorite ones to play for a while, and then gather, what do you see?" Huang Jiaqiang is not a casino junior brother like Guo Yu, although he is not good at gambling, but he is no stranger to casinos.
"OK, let's split up and call each other."
After Guo Yu agreed, Huang Jiaqiang took his wife's hand and left, Guo Yu looked at his fiancée, and also stretched out his hand and said, "Honey, let's go too, have a good time tonight." ”
Huang Wenjing put his hand in Guo Yu's palm and said, "Let's not play too much." ”
Guo Yu smiled, "Let's just feel the atmosphere of the casino, let's go." As he spoke, he took Huang Wenjing's hand and approached the casino.
Looking at the two who showed affection, Riyadh pursed his lips and followed.
In the casino, Guo Yu is definitely a new hand, he has seen a lot of films about gambling, like what is the God of Gambling Saint, but after he asked Riyadh, Riyadh said: "Casinos are not allowed to cheat, one is related to reputation, if someone finds that the casino cheats, there will be no guests in the future, and then there is the World Gambling Association will also conduct unannounced inspections of the registered casinos from time to time, if any cheating is found in the casino, the industry notice will be issued, and the local government will be notified to cancel the casino's gambling license, such a punishment." , which the casino cannot afford. ”
"Then there is no such thing as a master of gambling, like in the movies?" Guo Yu asked curiously.
"Of course, the master is mainly used to prohibit the master from cheating in the casino, which is a means of prevention." Riyadh said.
"But I always thought the casino wouldn't be so clean." Guo Yu still doesn't believe that casinos don't cheat.
"The main way to make money in the casino is not by cheating, but by probability, you must know that all kinds of gambling methods have probability, and the gambling method has determined that the probability of winning the casino is greater than that of gamblers, which is allowed by the rules."
"The gambler's money will not be more than the casino, as long as the gambler does not stop in time, the final result will eventually be won back by the casino, unless you are a very sensible gambler."
"Alright then, let's try our luck." After Guo Yu finished speaking, he called a waiter and signed a check for $2 million, asking the waiter to exchange for chips.
Riyadh has also changed 2 million, they are all very sensible adults, knowing that this kind of gambling is okay, and they will definitely not lose their minds.
21 points, Texas Hold'em, stud, dice, roulette, and even slot machines, Guo Yu went up to try everything, there were losses and wins, but overall it was still more losses and fewer wins.
Guo Yu and Huang Wenjing kept going on stage, like two friends who were playing crazy, which made Riyadh speechless, and finally he said goodbye and went to play with what he liked, and accompanying these two new hands was definitely a kind of torture.
Playing until more than ten o'clock in the evening, Guo Yu and Huang Jiaqiang bumped into each other, and the two sides counted and lost, Huang Jiaqiang exchanged $1 million in chips, and now there are more than 300,000 left, but it is better than Guo Yu's.
Guo Yu's 2 million, now there are only more than 500,000 left, which is definitely more than the Huang family. But a few people don't care about this money, just have fun.
Somewhat tired, a few people came to a quiet rest area, drank a cup of coffee, ate some cake to replenish their bodies, and decided to move on to the next round. (To be continued......)
