For casino hotels, every boxing fight, being able to become a venue provider will gain huge benefits.
First of all, in boxing fights, tickets are sold extremely expensive. Of course, those who can afford such expensive tickets will not be ordinary people, usually the wealthy with a lot of financial power, or the middle class with a lot of wealth.
These people's spending power, naturally not bad, to the casino hotel often drive the hotel to make a profit from consumption, not to mention that the casino hotel often has all the entertainment facilities, everything, these people often do not hesitate to spend money to enjoy. While watching the game, they also place bets in the casino hotel to bet on winning or losing.
MGM Resorts has already started booking rooms around October 20. A total of 5,034 rooms were all increased by 50% on the days of the competition. By the time bookings began, more than 4,500 rooms had already been sold.
This is especially true of the most luxurious suites, which cost an average of more than $15,000 a night and are all sold out.
MGM's manager also specially left a few hundred rooms, otherwise, I am afraid that in less than half a day, there will be no one left in these rooms.
These rooms are reserved for customers in Asia. MGM's manager believes that Lin Ye's battle will definitely attract some wealthy people from China. These wealthy people can become new customers of the casino and bring new profit points to MGM.
To this end, MGM's manager specially recruited a Chinese student to serve as a temporary customer service staff.
In the MGM Hotel customer service work room.
Xu Yun was sitting at a desk. In front of him, there was a computer, an international phone, and a notebook.
Xu Yun himself is a northerner. After coming to the United States to study, the expenses were very large, so Xu Yun had to work hard to do some odd jobs in his spare time. In the past, Xu Yun worked in McDonald's, KFC and other fast food restaurants, and his salary was only about eight dollars an hour. If you go to a restaurant to brush dishes, you will earn more, but Xu Yun, who has never worked much since he was a child, can't afford to do heavy physical work such as brushing dishes, so he can only choose to work in a relatively easy fast food restaurant.
On this day, Xu Yun occasionally learned about a job posting on the Internet, the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas was hiring a Chinese national to work as a Chinese-speaking customer service for a short period of five days. Work eight hours a day and pay $50 per hour.
This is full of temptation for Xu Yun, and he will have $2,500 for five days. When I went to apply, there were more than a dozen people, and the competition was fierce. But in the end, Xu Yun showed his Mandarin first-class certificate, successfully defeated other opponents, and successfully applied for the job.
Xu Yun, who was successful in the application, came to Las Vegas and provided free accommodation and working meals at the MGM Hotel for five days of work. This made Xu Yun very satisfied, and he could also take a stroll around the casino in his spare time.
Xu Yun's job is to act as a customer service for international calls, serving customers from China.
Sitting at his desk, Xu Yun looked at the computer. According to his thoughts, there should not be many people who will make this call, after all, this is an international call, and there should be few people in China who can know MGM's customer service number.
At first, the phone in front of Xu Yun had not moved. Xu Yun sat there quietly, thinking wildly, the battle between Lin Ye and Valero was held here, and the people who came here to watch it were all rich people. I don't know when I can have the strength to come here to watch Lin Ye's game.
Just as he was thinking, the phone in front of him rang.
Xu Yun picked it up immediately, and he suddenly felt a little nervous. Xu Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva slightly, and said in a standard Mandarin voice: "Hello sir, this is the MGM Grand Hotel." ”
"Oh, I'm looking for MGM. I heard that in your place, on October 20th, Lin Ye will hold a competition with that person called Shingle or something? ”
"Yes, on October 20th, Lin Yehui will have a lightweight match with Valero." Xu Yundao.
"Then I'll book two rooms, between October 18th and October 21st."
"Yes sir, what price do you want? We now have more than 500 left, the cheapest of which is $270 a day and the most expensive is $5,000 a day. ”
"It's $5,000 for two." Directly from the other side.
"Okay, please sir leave your name, phone number. Also, sir, if you have booked our hotel, then we can also help you book your tickets for the day of the game. ”
"Then book 5 tickets."
After answering this call, Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Entering the reservation information into the hotel system is still very easy, Xu Yun thought.
Three minutes later, another call came to mind.
"Hey, hello sir, this is the MGM Grand Hotel."
"We must be in a hurry."
"Uh, Mr. Apology, I didn't understand, could you please repeat it?" Xu Yun frowned.
"The meeting said that the meeting should be done in a panic."
"Sir, can you use Mandarin for that trouble, I don't understand." Xu Yun said.
"This is Cantonese, do you listen to Cantonese?" The voice on the other end of the phone changed.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand your dialect. Can trouble be expressed in Mandarin? Xu Yun said.
"I don't know how to speak Mandarin."
"You said you could speak Mandarin? Can you please express it in Mandarin? Xu Yundao.
"Tired of the waist!"
"You say you have a headache?" Xu Yundao, and then hung up the phone when he heard a "snap" on the other side.
Xu Yun heard the "beep" sound on the phone, quickly turned his head to look around, and when he saw that there was no one, he put down the phone again.
"Really, I can't understand a word of what that person said just now." Xu Yun said depressedly.
Just as the phone was put down, the phone rang again.
"Hey, this is the MGM Grand Hotel, how can I help you?"
"Happy ・・・・・・・"
