Chapter 156: A Year Later

(Ask for a ticket!) Ask for a ticket! )

Alcatel, a Brooklyn native from Chicago, became famous in a fight, first killing the Irish boss Colin Downer with a trick, and then snatching the Pacific Hotel, a sure-fire business, and became famous for a while.

Many young people who want to get ahead come to the door and want to eat with this new boss.

Al is a person who does not refuse, there is one to ask for one, and he does not pick at all.

At the same time, the news that the Chicagoans defeated the Irish and became the new king of Atlantic City also spread like wildfire into the hearts of the ugly people.

They knew that the pattern of the Ugly Country's underground world was about to change drastically.

Among them, Li Yaoyang's shadow was diluted, which was also the result of his deliberate actions.

Pushing Alcatel to the front to avoid overexposing himself was also something he had planned for a long time.

Anyway, there are a lot of benefits that should be obtained, and reputation is such a thing, so don't do it.

Of all the hotels in Atlantic City, the Pacific Hotel is undoubtedly one of the largest.

And now, the ownership of the hotel has fallen into the hands of Li Yaoyang, and he has become a hotel tycoon.

As for the most profitable casino, he didn't pay that much attention to it, after all, there was a lot of profit from selling alcohol.

This matter has not been hidden from those who really know the inside story, they know very well that the Chinese have really risen in the underground world, led by Li Yaoyang and his Dongxing.

But they didn't dare to act rashly, his relationship with Chicago was unclear, but his relationship with Ricardo was well known.

The devil knows how good their relationship is, if it is really good enough to stick a knife in both sides, no one wants to provoke the big enemy of the Hey-Hand Party for themselves.

Of course, Li Yaoyang's ability and strength in the emerging stage also made them look sideways.

If you can, it's better not to go head-to-head with him.

The most important thing is that the alcohol market in Atlantic City is a piece of fat, as long as Li Yaoyang doesn't play monopoly and everyone can make money, they are not willing to start a war rashly.

He has a very clear mind, he knows what he can and can't do, and now he is playing monopoly, not to mention that the enemy does not agree, the Chicagoans do not agree, he does not want to make himself to the extent of being attacked by the enemy.

In this way, in an eerie atmosphere, the Chinese finally have a foothold outside Chinatown.

And far away from the power center of New York, Li Yaoyang has every chance to develop obscenely, and if he is given a period of time, he can really be undefeated!

——————————

In the winter of 1922, the temperature plummeted, and Atlantic City, located in the northeast of the Ugly Country, also ushered in the season of snow.

There were only sporadic pedestrians on the road, walking timidly, and cars were rare, even though it was noon.

Heavy snow has closed the roads, making Atlantic City, which used to be bustling with activity, look a little deserted, but that doesn't mean everyone is hibernating at home.

On the contrary, the major entertainment venues are still full of people.

The Pacific Hotel bore the brunt of the event, having experienced a brief period of depression after changing owners a year ago, after all, the bloodshed that occurred in the hotel was still vivid, and guests were reluctant to come over and get dirty.

However, after the operation of Li Yaoyang, a series of discount activities were launched, and it was soon restored to its former glory.

Compared with Colin Donner, Li Yaoyang, who has a modern mindset, knows how to grasp the psychology of guests.

In this era, people who can go to the hotel to consume are either rich or expensive, what do the rich like?

Of course, everything new and rare, and of course, the service they value the most.

The more cumbersome the details, the less troublesome they are, the more they feel stylish, and they take the initiative to lean on the elegant side.

The more novel the thing, the more interesting it is, and if they know that what they consume is a luxury that ordinary people can't afford to consume for a few years or even more than a decade, the more the money will be spent.

How did Li Yaoyang do it?

First of all, he hired a down-and-out aristocratic butler from England and hired him as the chief ceremonial advisor of the Pacific Hotel, and of course his assistant butler.

Taking advantage of the time when the hotel's business was in a recession, he trained the waiter system of the entire hotel, all in accordance with the royal family's process.

Immediately afterwards, he spent a lot of money to change the waiters into new uniforms, and each of them looked like the male servants living in the manor of the British aristocracy.

The people are still the same people, but after changing their clothes, they are like aristocratic servants from England, and they can even speak a London accent with a tone of voice, which can make the local rich people curious.

They also have servants in the house, but they are by no means so polite, but they are all sloppy and do not want to behave.

The nouveau riche envy the heritage of the aristocracy, they can't feel it at home, they feel it in the hotel, do you think they can come?

Even if you spend a little more money for this, you will be happy to enjoy aristocratic service, learn more, and go back so that the servants of the house can do the same.

With a higher standard of service, there is naturally no shortage of wealthy guests.

When they arrive, they will find that the drinks sold at the hotel are different, such as one of the whiskies called 'Ace of Spades', the bottle is golden and can brighten the eyes of a blind dog under the light.

On the front of the bottle, the glass embossed Ace of Spades, with the production information on the back, is a limited edition whisky from a private winery of the Scottish aristocracy.

Not to mention the process or anything, how cumbersome it is, this also leads to a very low production, only 500 bottles per year, and the quota allocated to Atlantic City is only 100 bottles.

Even the bottle is gilded, and the stopper is inlaid with natural crystals, like a crown.

And all this is not enough to prove its precious attributes?

It's not too much to sell 1,000 US dollars for 1 bottle, right?

Not excessively, of course!

But what is too much is that 1000 US dollars is only the base price.

As soon as customers knew that the Pacific Hotel had such a cherished, limited-edition, and unavailable wine, they immediately regarded it as a status symbol.

Whoever eats at the Pacific Hotel and doesn't have a bottle of Ace of Spades on their table is embarrassed to say they're rich.

On the 1st of each month, the regular superstar Ace of Spades auction, 8 bottles per month, the highest price wins, after the auction, the hotel is responsible for storage, and when you need it, there will be a waiter who takes care of the wine cellar for you to enjoy.

And every bottle of Ace of Spades will be equipped with an exclusive barware.

The glass is artificially crafted from natural crystal, and the glass is engraved with dark lines by top craftsmen, so that it is not visible from the empty glass, nor can it be seen from the poured water, and only when the whisky is poured will it emerge.

This glass is only eligible for VIP who has photographed the Ace of Spades, and no one else can use it for money, and there is nowhere to buy it!

You say it's infuriating?

Many guests who have money but can't shoot the Ace of Spades champagne have lost their temper for this, but it's useless to lose their temper, the hotel just doesn't provide it.

The more this is the case, the more they can whet their appetite, so the rich are also quite 'cheap'.
