Although when she first heard this shocking news, Delphinium was a little uncomfortable for a while......

The industry of "love hotel" can be regarded as a "protection industry" and a "monopoly industry" on Sogo Island———— you must know that there are eight hotels on one street on Happiness Island.

In places like the Bridge District and the Giant Screen District, there will only be more. Highlight the opening of a bar opposite, the opening of a movie theater downstairs, the opening of a bunny girl shop next door, and the opening of a bathing center upstairs...... An example of this is the Beehive Nightclub, where half of the rooms in the building have beds.

But when she thought about it, it seemed reasonable.

Sogo Island is the one with the lowest fertility rate among the seven islands, and the love hotel industry is indeed protected by the head office. After all, I don't know which pair of lovers will eventually become husband and wife...... Young people are always more likely to be more emotionally motivated than social people. Once you become an old oilman, it is difficult to talk about what will last forever and stay together.

「…… But according to your Sogo customs, wouldn't they lose money by opening a love hotel? 「

Walking side by side with Russell on the road, Delphinium couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Russell put on cool sunglasses for the first time in a long time, and stood on the side of the road with his hands in his pockets. The delphinch's left hand was placed in Russell's right pocket, and he shook his fingers.

This pose is easy to stick together, making it easy for them to whisper.

"It's going to be a loss, of course it's going to be a loss."

Russell replied, "Even if the family had opened their love hotel next to the high school and college school, they would have lost money. As far as I know, their rooms have never been full.

There are also young couples who are in love, but if they can get into university, they still want to study hard. Not everyone wants to hand over their lives to AI...... Especially when I was a student who didn't understand the limits of my talents and had high expectations for my future, everyone was full of motivation."

"In that case......

Delphinium was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't she have been losing money?"

"That's right. The basic rules of Sogo Island are slightly different from those of Happiness Island......

Russell patiently explained to the delphinch.

To put it simply, the vast majority of the underlying industries on Sogo Island have been contracted by artificial intelligence led by the three sages. And there is another problem here, that is, the Three Sages are nominally subordinate to the Sogo Group.

———— that is to say, these industries are monopolized by the Sogo Group.

Of course, this also includes industries such as materials, construction, and property management. And those who want to do a little business, whether they want to rent or buy a storefront, their final arrears will go to Sogo.

Among the Big Seven, only the "Sogo Group" and the "Tianen Group" do not have particularly specific main projects. Because these two giants have infiltrated all walks of life, forming a comprehensive suppression in the field of plural business.

As a "giant", the Sogo Group is the de facto manager of Sogo Island. Other companies can sit idly by, but they are the only ones who are worried about Sogo's birth rate...... Because these people are their future consumers, they are all their property.

「…… Therefore, when the family decided to build a love hotel, they could apply to Sogo Group for reimbursement of part of the renovation costs and rent the engineering team at a cheap price.

So, in the name of "strengthening the attractiveness of the love hotel, the family built a cinema, a cafeteria, an indoor amusement park, and reserved space for a shopping mall." And this site happens to be near the school......

The agglomeration effect of business districts cannot be ignored. Rather than working silently from scratch on a certain street, it is better to directly enter their shopping mall. Even if the rent will be a lot more expensive, after the flow of people increases, the income will only be high.

"Of course, their family has prepared the best love hotel, and all the supporting facilities are top-notch. Of course, it is still not comparable to the Island of Happiness and the Island of Tongshen...... However, in Sogo, this is the top of the line.

"However, their family is not relying on 'couples, returning to their roots

。 Rather, they live by collecting rents from other merchants."

Isn't this a prostitution of the Sogo Group's workforce for nothing?

Delphinium was a little puzzled for a moment: "Isn't this considered a fraud?"

"If it's on Happiness Island, then most of them will be sanctioned. Either they will spit out their equity and management rights, or they will have to be ruthlessly picked up by Tianen Group. In short, it is impossible to prostitute "giants" for nothing. The company will definitely punish them as a warning to others."

Russell shrugged, "But it's not the same on Sogo.

Don't forget, the Three Sages are not really human. They don't care about face, they don't just focus on their original purpose, and they don't care about immediate benefits.

"It's true that the company was prostituted for nothing, but they didn't lose money. Because as long as people are spending, no matter who the money is given to, it ends up flowing within Sogo. Reviving the market is itself an activation of the dead island of Sogo – even if their family can't provide enough for the population, they still revitalize the island's economy from another angle."

…… Can it still be like this?

The delphinium was stunned: "Then no one is following suit?"

"Of course not."

Russell said meaningfully, "Because the next ones to do this business are the Zenbai Doctors. In addition to their storefronts, other types of "squares" on Sogo Island are controlled by the Sogo Group itself. After many plans have been optimized by artificial intelligence, whether it is user experience, intensity, charging standards and even management, they have become more scientific, more reasonable and more advantageous.

"As a pioneer company, their family has fallen into disadvantage in all aspects. Rather, the failure to take back the management rights of this "brand" is a "reward" from the Three Sages and Dr. Zambai for her father's idea.

「…… However, her father is a sensible person and can balance his mentality very well. He knew that he had taken off by speculation at the beginning, and he knew that he had a few pounds and a few taels. So even if the limelight is completely stolen by the Sogo Group, his income is squeezed by the market to one-third of the peak...... But that's enough to keep their home running steady."

"He's a smart man."

That's, after all, he is also an excellent graduate of Sogo Group. He almost became Dr. Zamby."

With that, Russell led the delphinium to a huge golden building with more than eighty floors.

Delphinium just looked up and immediately felt a tingling in her scalp.

She found that she couldn't stand the unique aesthetic of this Sogo Island style -

The edifice looked like a serpent standing up. It's just that every snake scale shimmers with a dark golden glow in the glow of the night... It was a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, and you couldn't see it from the outside. But from the inside you can see the outside.

From a long distance, you can see that it is constantly flashing. It's like a diamond with many facets, and you can see it sparkling from any angle.

On their side alone, there are four entrances, and there is a surge of people.

The buildings inside are almost all pale gold. The floor, ceiling, and walls are all made of a light-looking metal.

And the line of huge golden fluid characters hanging high above it was dragged horizontally for more than forty meters, and the font shimmered with gold, dark gold, and coffee-colored flowing brilliance

【Glow Lover's Hotel】

「…… It's really glorious. 「

Delphinium couldn't help but complain, "I found that all the buildings here are highlighting a foil.

"As long as it can be made to shine, it will shine."

If the night on the island of happiness is neon-colored...... It's purple, pink, burgundy, and has a warm scent.

Then the night of Sogo Island is golden.

In a sense, it's more flashy at night than during the day. She also went out for a walk during the day, and it wasn't so flashy at all———— no matter how you looked at it, it was pure white.

As a result, as soon as I went out at night, good guys———

As far as the eye can see, many buildings are shining brightly. It's not enough to reflect the lights on the street, and there are even built-in lights in those structures.

And many gods, Buddha statues, and holy icons in the streets and alleys also shine with more magnificent brilliance. Some have golden halos behind their heads, some have halos on their heads, some have wings of light behind them, some have colorful glow on their bodies, some have pure golden light all over their bodies, and some have projected raging flames on their bodies......

If you look at the sky above at this time, I am afraid that these buildings will look like one brilliant diamond after another.

Delphinium, who felt some pain in her eyes, finally understood why Russell wore sunglasses when he went out at night.

"No, lend you."

After the delphinium rubbed her eyes for the third time, Russell took off his sunglasses and put them on for her.

Because the ears of the world are not the same as each person, the sunglasses are sucked into the temples or inserted into the hair like hairpins.

"Didn't you notice that I can only walk with my face up while wearing these sunglasses?"

Russell sighed helplessly: "This is for you, I just want to see when you come to me......

"I thought you thought it was cool to walk like that."

"It's pretty cool, indeed. If you hadn't dragged me, I would have hit people twice......
