Chapter 0168
Hearing Xiang Tianze's criticism, Zhou Dapeng felt that it was indeed reasonable, but he was still very helpless, and said: "I can't help it... You know, the situation in our country is different. In foreign countries... even if the gambling industry is illegal , but as long as some similar casinos can pay high profits and taxes normally, most of the people in power will turn a blind eye or close one eye. But it’s different here... If my casino doesn’t open in such a secret place, It must have been dropped by Lianwo Duan long ago, and I’m afraid it won’t last even a day.”
Knowing that what Zhou Dapeng said was indeed true, Xiang Tianze hesitated for a moment before saying, "Anyway, no matter what... the way you operated the casino before must be completely changed, or you can just shut down the casino." .I really think...you can develop in another direction first. For example...to build a high-end club, or a private club. I think...with Boss Zhou's contacts in Haicheng, if you really build a A high-end club, there should be no shortage of people to support it, right?"
"As for your casino...it can become a subsidiary industry of this clubhouse. Don't make it too big at the beginning, such as opening a few VIP event rooms in the clubhouse, providing a venue and high-quality services, so that those who have The bigwigs with money and status can have fun here and have a good time.”
"When more and more people are used to playing in the clubhouse, you can add a few VIP event rooms and it will not be enough...you can build a real casino! But... this casino must not be opened in the sea. City, but can only be built on the sea!"
"Gambling boat?" Zhou Dapeng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately felt that Xiang Tianze's suggestion seemed quite reasonable.
"good……"
Xiang Tianze nodded and said: "Domestic policies will definitely not allow casinos to be opened upright. In this case, the casino can only be opened on a luxury cruise ship. At that time, the cruise ship can only be on the high seas Wandering among them, Haicheng can use the name of some sea sightseeing to bring some gamblers who are going to board the boat for fun."
"Although this process is a bit troublesome, as long as your private club is well-run in the early stage and has enough potential customers, then you don't have to worry about missing customers on the gambling boat. And as long as your gambling boat's reputation is established, You can definitely extend your tentacles to Han Country and Italy Country, which are not too far away... There are quite a lot of rich people in these two countries! Instead of making money from our own people, you might as well clean up these foreign devils Woolen cloth!"
Zhou Dapeng was so excited when he heard it, he felt that Xiang Tianze's idea was not only very reliable, but once he did it well...not only could he earn a huge amount of wealth, even the contacts generated by those clubs would be a potential huge fortune ah! But the problem is...
Zhou Dapeng said with a bitter face: "Mr. Xiang, although your idea is good, I have to have the ability to do it! A cruise ship... Even if it is the initial construction cost, it is estimated to be at least 200 million U.S. dollars? Plus The money for remodeling and decoration... I'm afraid I can't get it without 300 million US dollars! Plus some small yachts and passenger ships used to carry gamblers to and fro... The total investment is less than 2 billion RMB. Impossible! I... Where can I get so much money!"
"Uh... two billion!"
Xiang Tianze just said that casually just now, but he didn't think about it carefully at all, so he didn't realize that running a gambling boat required such a large investment. Two billion... If I have two billion, why would I open a casino! Just counting money at home can exhaust people to death!
However, in order to maintain his own image, Xiang Tianze naturally couldn't say that he didn't think well, so he snorted coldly pretending to be profound, and said: "I said you are stupid, I am right! Even if a gambling boat needs investment Two billion, I didn’t tell you to take it all at once! Didn’t I just say that... If you’re in the early stage, you still need to open a private club first. Can you still get this investment?”
Zhou Dapeng nodded blankly, and said: "It's no problem... Even if the clubhouse is built more luxuriously, I should be able to afford it. But... Even if this private clubhouse is for profit, it is impossible to build it in a short period of time. How much money can you earn! Let alone two billion... even if it is two hundred million, you won't be able to earn it in ten or eight years, right?"
Xiang Tianze curled his lips and said, "Why don't you say that you are short-sighted? I asked you to open a private club first. Do you think you want you to use this to earn money for a gambling boat? This club is really like this If you want to make money, how about opening a stupid gambling boat? Isn’t it much better for you to run the clubhouse directly than to build a gambling boat in fear!”
"For you to run this kind of private club first, in addition to cultivating a large number of potential customers for you, the most important thing... is to broaden your network. And some important people in these networks may become your future bettors. The partner of the ship! Otherwise... Do you think that you, an underground black boss, can really run such a gambling ship across the three countries by yourself? If there are no other big shots to participate in the shares, you Even if you have the money to build a gambling boat, it probably won’t last long before it will be destroyed. Even if your gambling boat has been parked on the high seas, will others really have no control over you?"
"So... to really accomplish this, it is very necessary to find some partners with strong backgrounds. At that time, you don't have to be the shareholder with the most shares on this gambling boat, but you must Owning the right to operate a gambling boat, in this way... isn't this still your business?"
"I see! Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for pointing out the maze!"
After listening to Xiang Tianze's explanation, Zhou Dapeng finally came to his senses... Yeah, what era is this? Who has to pay all their own money to do business? Even sometimes, even if you clearly have sufficient funds to invest independently, you still have to find a way to distribute part of the equity and attract some partners to invest.
Because as long as you have one more partner in your business, it is equivalent to an extra help. Even if the partner doesn't participate in the business and just pays dividends... But if something really happened during the business operation, how could these partners just sit idly by?
And no matter how many people will participate in the gambling boat in the future, as long as Zhou Dapeng guarantees one thing and holds the management rights firmly in his own hands, he will definitely become the future king of gambling in East Asia!
