If you talk about the world's famous casinos, no one is more difficult than the basic conditions of Las Vegas in the western desert of the United States, but no one is more successful than Las Vegas. Since someone can carve out such a commercial miracle in the arid and inhospitable desert, nowhere else in the world is impossible.

When Simon heard the answer given by Andrei Vodemirka, he immediately understood that the two people around him had clearly thought about it.

Rivne State, located in the hinterland of Eastern Europe, has almost no human and natural landscapes that can be drawn. If you want to develop tourism, you can only take a slant. The development of the gaming industry happens to be the easiest path to succeed among the swordsmen.

Because of profiteering.

High gaming profits can bring sufficient funds, and then use these funds to artificially create various entertainment and leisure activities to further attract tourists, and then introduce tourists into casinos to form an ecological cycle.

The most typical case is still Las Vegas.

To this day, although Las Vegas is still a world-renowned gambling city, and the locomotive effect of casinos in the city's economic development has not changed, the proportion of the gaming industry has been decreasing. , performances, etc. are becoming more and more prosperous.

This actually means that the economic structure of this city is getting healthier.

belongs to the long-term way.

However, the casino is definitely not so easy to build.

Few of the cities around the world have been ambitious enough to build a second Las Vegas for more than half a century, and few have succeeded.

The most failed case happens to be in the United States.

Atlantic City.

This city located on the coast of New Jersey, southern New York, decided to vigorously develop the gaming industry in the 1970s, with ambitions to become the Las Vegas on the east coast of the United States.

As a result, except in the 1980s, which took advantage of the US economic recovery for a while, and then it has been tepid. Many of the capital that invested heavily in Atlantic City at the beginning were in deep trouble. After the new century, more than half of Atlantic City’s casinos went bankrupt, and the surrounding industrial ecology like Las Vegas has not developed.

Speaking of which, Simon now controls a number of casinos in Atlantic City, such as the most famous Taj Mahal casino, through the merger and integration of a Golden Retriever company.

Although this is completely a tasteless asset.

The current hot spring resort has the advice of the team from Atlantic City in the planning stage.

Inside the resort's theatre hall.

Simon considered for a moment, and said in anticipation of the two around him: "Andre, I appreciate your idea, but you must know that you want to develop the gaming industry here, and it is not the current petty fight. It involves too many aspects, such as the industrial policy in the general direction of Ukraine, etc. These are not able to achieve results in a short time. In my opinion, to achieve the final goal, it is only the first stage, which will take ten years. .

To develop a casino, the first problem is money.

Lots and lots of money.

Just like Atlantic City, in the development stage in the 1980s, major capitals poured hundreds of millions of dollars into it. Because this can artificially create a series of high-end entertainment venues that are enough to attract gamblers.

Second, and equally important, policy support.

At this stage in Ukraine, large and small gaming halls and small casinos are springing up, but the national level is only turning a blind eye to this. Just like the video halls everywhere in China, there are no special industry regulations.

Therefore, if you want to develop a casino, you first need to solve this problem.

And it's not just that.

Because the gaming industry here is bound to be mainly for overseas tourists, it will also involve visa policies, currency exchange and other aspects.

These are not easy to achieve overnight.

Again, even if the above two core problems are solved, the casino may not be able to develop successfully.

Just like Atlantic City.

There is no shortage of money, and there is no shortage of policies, but it just failed because it also involves actual business operations. In the final analysis, the gaming industry is still a business. Doing business always requires skills. Some people make big profits, and some people lose blood.

Finally, there is the issue of the distribution of benefits and the impact of the future political environment in Ukraine on the industry.

If the country falls into turmoil or even a civil war again after the new century, even if the Rivne state, which is located on the northwest frontier, will not be affected, overseas tourists who are very sensitive to the public security environment will definitely reduce their visits because of their scruples.

All in all, all kinds of hemp.

Andre said seriously: "Boss, Alexander and I have been studying casinos around the world during this time, and we have considered many issues. We didn't expect to be successful in the short term, mainly because we hope to get you, the boss. support."

Simon said: "I can only say that I have no objection for the time being. As for the support and the extent of support, it depends on the results of your work. Just like the expansion of the resort, you can start planning, but I will definitely not make additional investment in the short term. Here you go, I've invested a lot here, and it's not wise to just expand."

When the two heard the words, they were disappointed at first, and then they reacted. Alexander asked: "Boss, you said that you can't invest any more. Does this mean that Andre and I can use the existing income for continuous development here? "

Simon smiled and nodded: "Yeah, but I'm not 100% holding the three projects, so

You need to convince other shareholders first. "

"Boss, during the lobbying process, can we explain your attitude to other shareholders?"

"Okay, so, recently you have drawn up a detailed written plan for me." Simon said, but he did not forget to tap: "Also, remember to communicate with Celia more in the future, I don't want anything unexpected to happen. other things."

Andrei and Alexander quickly agreed.

After chatting like this, the stage was ready without knowing it. A staff member came over to confirm, and after obtaining permission, the performance officially started.

The story of "Swan Lake" tells the love story of a princess who was cursed by the devil and turned into a swan and a prince. It was created by the famous Russian composer Tchaikovsky at the end of the nineteenth century based on a German fairy tale. It has appeared for more than a century. There are many variations, especially the ending of the story, both comedic and tragic.

The third act chosen by Simon is the biggest conflict turning point in the story. The black swan, the daughter of the demon king, tempted the prince to get engaged, causing the prince to abandon the agreement with the white swan.

The lights in the hall dimmed, and when the music played, Simon stopped talking to the two around him.

Even if he is not too interested in his heart, Simon will never deny that this is real art, especially for a world-class ballet team like the Kyiv Ballet. From childhood, the best years of these dancers' lives were tied to ballet.

The story begins at a court ball where the prince chooses his bride.

Various characters appeared, including the Demon King and his daughter, the black swan who looked exactly like the white swan. The most exciting part is the interaction between the prince and the black swan in the second half.

And the most famous '32 laps of the whip'.

When the Principal Ballet on the stage performed this classic movement calmly and skillfully, even if there were only a few Simon in the audience, everyone applauded together.

The performance of about half an hour ended, and the dancers of the troupe who knew the end of the performance tonight took the stage to call the curtain.

Andrei Vodmirka finally got close to Simon again and whispered, "Boss, do you want to go up and say hello to everyone?"

Simon noticed the different meaning in the subordinate's expression when he spoke. Looking at the stage, most of the dancers obviously knew who the audience was tonight. When the curtain call was over, he was obviously hesitant and expectant. He smiled, and actually said: "Okay. what."

So I got up and walked to the stage.

Seeing the legendary Simon Westeros face to face, the dancers on the stage were a little overwhelmed, but fortunately, Andre, who was obviously going to have something to do, gave a little signal, and the dancers quickly responded and raised their tambourines. Raising his palms, Simon patiently shook hands with everyone, not forgetting to compliment them in Russian. He came to the chief dancer who played the black and white swan, then paused a little, and shook hands with a cool and soft weed and said: " You dance well, may I know your name?"

The girl who looked to be twenty-five or six years old looked at Simon and nodded gracefully: "Of course, Mr. Westeros, my name is Kaja."

"Hello, Kaja, thank you for your performance tonight."

Simon said this again, let go of the other party's small hand gracefully, and walked to the next dancer. The girl named Kajia watched Simon walk away, with a smile on her face, but her eyes flickered slightly. When the man was further away, her expression became a little more disappointed, and she couldn't help but think of the scene she saw last year. only mv.

I'm probably not as lucky as some women.

Simon greeted a group of dancers, did not stop any longer, but mentioned to go to the casino of the resort in Andre.

After walking out of the theater, Andre, who followed Simon, seemed to have no intention of saying: "Boss, do you want me to invite Kaja for you and have a drink together later, or maybe the boss is interested in other girls?"

Simon just shook his head.

Andre didn't mention it anymore, just gave a follower a wink.

Everyone came to the casino not far from the theater. This is a three-story semi-Baroque and semi-Roman style building. Simon and his party entered through a side door, and they went directly to the second floor to see the corridor of the hall below.

The open hall with a total of more than 1,000 square meters is divided into several different areas, including slot machines, poker, dice and other games. Of course, it is incomparable with those large casinos that can't be seen at a glance, but it is also bustling at this time. It's lively. Looking around, the second floor is a small box, mainly all kinds of standard gaming tables. According to Andre's introduction, the chips and consumption here are higher than those below.

There are also VIP halls and some suites on the third floor.

However, it has not been developed yet.

Because the main guests of this resort area at this stage are middle-class tourists from Western Europe and North America, and no top gamblers will appear here, so the third floor only entertains some occasional special guests.

Like Simon.

Standing on the corridor and listening to Andre's detailed introduction, the middle-aged man led Simon to the third floor.

First we went to a special hall.

The most notable is the equipment on the side of the hall, which is like a display cabinet in a clothing store.

Simon actually knew what it was.

When the light in the cupboard came on, six fresh and pure 'small water onions' appeared in it, obediently standing in a row, roughly similar to the eight that Simon saw in the hot spring manor in the morning.

Andre first looked at Simon's expression to confirm the admiration in his boss's eyes, and then said: "Boss, this is specially prepared for you by Alexander and I. Since last year, we have been training employees here and have started to choose one after another. But only for her

We have arranged some language training to ensure that they are all very innocent girls. "

After listening to Andre, Simon nodded with a smile: "Yes, I will take it with me when I leave."

Andre hurriedly agreed, and said, "Do you want them to come out first to say hello to you?"

"No," Simon shook his head and said, "Show me this way."

Andre didn't say more, gave an order to the entourage beside him, and invited Simon to leave the hall, and exchanged glances with Alexander during this period.

This flattery is right.

In fact, after quietly researching the preferences of their own boss, the two originally planned to choose some women with more mature charm, um, probably the kind of Celia Miller.

It had already started.

Later gave up.

Mainly because of choosing this type of woman, some things are more difficult to explain. If you encounter a suspicious boss again, you will be self-defeating, you will really want to flatter the horse.

In the end, six young girls were selected completely with reference to the standards of the girls in the Chengnan Villa, all of whom were 14 to 16 years old.

That's fine.

As Andre just said, these are very innocent girls, and their boss can easily prove it.

After seeing the casino, Simon quietly passed other facilities of the resort. During this period, he also met the Kyiv Ballet Principal who had just danced for him in a bar. Simon vaguely guessed that it was a chance meeting that Andrei deliberately arranged. Obviously very enthusiastic, Simon didn't say anything.

When Simon left the resort, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

After Neil Bennett sent back the two Celia girls, he rushed over to continue serving as Simon's driver. However, when he returned, the convoy changed from three cars to five cars, two of which were seated with six small water onions.

Back at the hot spring manor, I found that it was also very lively here.

Simon didn't specifically inform him that he was here, but after getting the information from his father and brother, the three girls from the Chengnan Villa ran over, as well as the other three who were arranged to study in London after being cleaned up by Simon. During the summer vacation, they all went back to Ukraine, because of Simon's attitude, whether the three girls themselves or others, they continued to regard them as Simon's women for granted.

In addition, the tall sisters Eve Besonoskova and Lyudmila Besonoskova also appeared here.

Six first-generation shallots, eight second-generation shallots selected by Grace, plus the six wild shallots that Simon just brought back, a total of twenty girls.

Anyway, the wide-eyed Lyudmila felt that her eyes widened.

Even Celia showed a little helplessness in her expression when she saw that Simon brought back six more girls.

Simon didn't explain anything, such as how he would be worried if he didn't want these six girls.

I just really like collecting scallions.

It's a good thing to call it, and it's affordable anyway.
