Silently listening to the somewhat bald manager in front of him, talking about the daily operation of the nightclub, as well as the various unspoken rules in the dark, Lu Li quickly figured out how WELL made a lot of profits through drinks and erotic performances. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Especially in the private room on the second floor, a bottle of champagne can be sold for two hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars, and the price of red wine is almost the same, and the price of spirits is even more than five hundred dollars, which is no different from robbery.

It can be said that alcohol alone accounts for more than 65% of the profit.

In addition to alcohol, there are also food, tobacco, entrance fees, venue rental fees for holding events, etc., basically the annual profit can be stable between 700 and 7.5 million US dollars, and if you catch up with the explosion of tourists in any year, it is not impossible to make a profit of tens of millions.

But correspondingly, there are many troubles......

You must know that Miami is one of the most active cities in North America for drug dealers, and things like big (hemp) and (sleep) ketone can only be regarded as children's play, and the real scary ones are cocaine and (ice) drugs.

According to Jonathan, almost all nightclubs in Miami are more or less infested with drug dealers, the only difference is that the drug trade is very rampant in some places, and nightclubs like well, which are located in tourist areas and downtown areas, most drug dealers will choose to hide their identities and act in a low-key manner.

For their existence, the principle of most nightclubs is that as long as it is not too excessive, it is basically not seen.

After all, many drug addicts have good financial ability and can stimulate consumption to a certain extent, as long as they do not break the law, nightclub owners do not care whether customers will spend money on drugs.

Not to mention the nightclub owners, many patrol officers will not necessarily arrest people who are drug traffickers and drug users, because the entire United States has more than 70 million drug addicts, and if they are all arrested, the government will have to build at least a few hundred more large prisons to be enough.

In short, when Jonathan finished all the appalling content, Lu Li didn't know whether he was right or wrong to choose to buy this nightclub.

However, it was obviously too late to think about it, so after a few minutes of dwelling on it, he pretended to be nonchalant and sighed: "Well, I think I already understand how nightclubs work. Now tell me, is there a legal problem with these practices, for example, how much joint and several liability do I have to bear as a boss?"

"As far as I know, no.

My former boss, Mr. Kamal, had already followed the advice of his lawyer and summed up a set of coping methods.

If the police find a drug dealer or a minor in the store and are unwilling to accept the cash offered, you just need to put the blame on the security guard and tell the judge that it is because the security guard did not strictly enforce the company's rules, not that you deliberately condone these criminal acts, and finally fire the employee who made the mistake and make sure that nothing like this will happen.

Of course, in private, you still need to give some benefits to the security guards, and then wait for a few months to pass the rumors, and then hire them back, and all that remains is to pay a few nominal fines.

Believe me, it's nothing compared to the money earned. ”

Jonathan combed his few hairs as he talked about his experience dealing with police officers and judges.

He seemed to have dealt with many similar situations, so there was no nervousness at all, as if he was not talking about a crime, but some very ordinary work.

It was only at this moment that Lu Li finally realized how correct Marx's classic exposition of capital was.

Perhaps the US ruling class does not care at all how many people are using drugs, let alone the horrific consequences of these things, they only care whether they can profit from them. If they can, then they turn a blind eye, and if they can't, then they will send in police and special forces to fight drug lords who steal large sums of money from their own pockets.

In fact, the ongoing legalization of large (hemp) in the US states is the best example of this.

The reason why it can be put forward in a big way is that the root cause is nothing more than hard drugs, such as heroin and ice, etc., which make a lot of money from the United States, but have not even paid a penny of taxes.

The U.S. government can't stand hundreds of billions of dollars being quietly stolen from its own pockets every year, so it has launched the so-called legalization of marijuana, which will reduce people's dependence on hard drugs and allow the government to get enough tax revenue from it.

As for the health of the people......

What's that?

They don't care how much of an impact the addicts everywhere may have on the social order after the flood of hemp, and they only care about how much benefit they can get from it.

"Should I say that it is really a capitalist country where interests are paramount......

The corners of Lu Li's mouth curled slightly, a hint of sarcastic smile appeared, and then he raised his head and continued to ask: "Regarding the legal aspect, I know almost everything, and there is only one last question left, I heard that Miami is rampant with gangsters, and many places have experienced being charged protection money, do we have trouble in this regard?"

"Protection money? Hahahaha! No, my dear boss, that was more than twenty years ago. Now that the city center and tourist areas are safe, absolutely no gang dares to come here to collect protection money, only those remote black neighborhoods and Latino neighborhoods, there will be unpopular gangs to collect protection money. Jonathan laughed as he explained.

Lu Li nodded thoughtfully: "There is no best, I personally hate dealing with gangsters." ”

"Boss, with all due respect, any entertainment venue in Miami has something to do with gangsters. Since Kamal's money laundering was exposed, there has been a group of Russians who have been coming to our store for a lot of money, and they have tested me several times, as if they want to cooperate with us. ”

"Russians, what do they want to do?" Lu Li subconsciously frowned.

Jonathan shrugged his shoulders innocently: "I don't know the specifics, according to my investigation, eighty percent are related to women." There was once a guy named Vasily who once hinted that he wanted me to reduce or even dissolve my cooperation with the agency and let them take care of the nightclub shows. You know, we're a high-end shopping place, our customers are very wealthy, and a group of young and beautiful girls can meet the special needs of our guests. ”

Lu Li seemed to understand something, gently touched the stubble on his chin, and after a while he asked: "You mean, they want to promote sex in the store - that's right! Russian gangsters are simple and rude, they are mainly engaged in controlling (prostitutes), drug trafficking, producing or selling counterfeit money, smuggling arms, and so on.

Obviously, in downtown Miami, the latter few items will definitely not work, so only the first one remains.

I looked around the area and found that at least four nightclubs had contracts with an agency called Black Beauty, and their dancers had changed from white and Latino to Russian and Ukrainian girls.

Considering that Miami is a city full of naked desires, and a lot of rich people like to enjoy some special services, I think we can also try it.

Of course, it's yours who make the final decision, because you're the boss. ”

With that, Jonathan stood still, silently waiting for an answer. He looked a little nervous, his eyes flickering...... (To be continued.) )
