Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

In the thoughtful gaze of Philip Abramo and Stephen Wayne, Tan Zhenhua continued waving his arms and delivering a passionate speech: "Stephen, can you tell me that last year, your operating income accounted for the gaming industry? What's the proportion?"

"About 83%, um, maybe a little more." Stephen Wayne clearly remembers his business situation last year.

Tan Zhenhua said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "83%, that is to say, your non-gaming income is only 17% of the mere 17% of your non-gaming industry income. A customer who lives in the luxury suites of this hotel, I also have to remind you that although your hotel has a 4-star sign, both the environment and the service are terrible... Oh, Stephen, maybe you would say, Las Vegas hotels are almost like this, because the guests staying here rarely pay attention to these. Many of them open rooms for luggage, but what if we think about it from another angle?"

"such as?"

"For example, you like gambling, and now you have a vacation, you want to take advantage of this time to have fun, but you have a family, your wife, your children want to enjoy a trip, you will choose Las Vegas S? No, you certainly won’t, because there’s nothing but casinos here, oh, maybe there are some activities that are not so suitable for all members of the family." He winked at the people present, and these people also In seconds, he replied with a subtle expression that a man could understand.

"Then, you have lost a potential customer, because you didn't offer any other products to other members except the person in the family who loves gambling, then they will definitely vote against it, and here," he stomped Said: "Here, Las Vegas, they were crossed out from the list of tourist destinations."

"So your suggestion is that here we should not only have luxurious casinos, but also leisure and entertainment venues suitable for other family members and ages, right?"

"Yeah, Stephen, you have to find a place for minors like me to get my vote for the gambler's suggestion at home, right?" Tan Zhenhua winked at Stephen Wayne.

Everyone in the room laughed, and Philip still smiled and said: "Eric, I now know why you can tell those big people to become your allies. You are indeed an interesting person and a smart businessman, you That’s right, we should not only buy people your age, but also find ways to buy all family members. For example, for housewives or women in family members, we can give them luxurious shopping malls, which are filled with a lot of Brand-name clothing, shoes and hats, various luxury goods and jewelry..."

"For teenagers, we can give them Hollywood stars, ring-screen movies, horse racing, rock climbing, or whatever excitement they like..." Stephen Wayne immediately took it.

"Or we can build a zoo to cater to those young children." Tan Zhenhua continued, "Maybe I can get you some Chinese giant pandas... and the result of this will be that you buy all the members of the family. The income of your casino will rise, while the income of other businesses will rise faster. I think that someday in the future, this ratio may reach a 5:5 balance. Compared to your current income situation, this is likely to be Doubled growth."

...

"The most important thing is that it is impossible for us to build so many projects in a hotel. We are the first movers. Therefore, we only need to select some of the most investment-worthy projects to implement, and other hotels have seen our success. They will copy immediately, and will also strive to create their own characteristics to buy everyone, so that the entire city, here, Las Vegas will become a real vacation city, everyone can be here Find your favorite activities, competition and complementarity between hotels will exist at the same time, so as to avoid some of the worst situations from happening."

Philip Abramo made a final summary and pointed out the core issue-how to promote this idea in Las Vegas where the interests of the community are entangled without taking the risk of encountering unpredictable conditions.

He said: "It seems that I will vote for this matter."

Philip Abramo voted for it, and Stephen Wayne certainly voted for it. As for Li Yanan, that's not to mention.

"It seems that everyone has no opinions on the project itself. So, do you have any opinions on the 20% equity that my brother asked for? I just said that in addition to the investment necessary to subscribe for the equity, he will also undertake Xiangjiang It is the market development responsibility of the entire Chinese-speaking region from now on. I think this is totally worth this part of the equity."

The project is definitely a good project, and the profit prospects look good, but when it comes time to divide the cake, there must be some talk, and Tan Zhenhua is also ready for this.

Sure enough, after both Stephen and Philip whispered, Philip said: "I exchanged views with Stephen just now. We think that these two items alone are not enough to support 20% of the equity, because for this plan, Hong Kong is restricted by the population base, and the profits that can be brought are limited. In the so-called "Chinese-speaking area", the largest future market in the Huaxia Mainland area is difficult to contribute enough tourists and income within a predictable time period. ...But considering that this plan was initiated by you, Eric, we can accept the 20% clause, but there is a condition attached."

Tan Zhenhua made a "please" gesture.

But it was Stephen who spoke.

He said: "The condition is that Eric and Mr. Li Yanan, you must expand our business to East Asia when conditions permit, specifically, Omen."

Although this condition is somewhat unexpected, it is reasonable to enter the long-term gaming industry, but Stephen Wayne's dream and heart knot.

Tan Zhenhua thought for a while, frowning and replied: "Now both of Omen's gambling cards are in He Hongsen's hands. Although I can speak in front of him, I want him to release one. This kind of thing is successful. The probability is too low, it is not worth trying, and even if you barely get it, you will face a lot of difficulties if you want to actually operate it. The environment in Omen is not much simpler than Las Vegas."

Stephen nodded and said: "We all know these, so we didn't ask for an accurate timetable, but just hope that when the opportunity arises, you two can do your best. After all, that is our common interest."

Tan Zhenhua looked at Li Yanan, and saw that he was nodding slightly at himself, and he replied, "Okay, I agree to this condition."

"So, even if we reach a consensus today, I will communicate with all shareholders and tell them that this is an attempt we are making for the further development of Las Vegas. If the attempt is successful, they can Casino hotels copy at will." Philip said with a smile: "Given the extensive investment of these shareholders, I think we will get enough support."

When he said this, Stephen was obviously relieved, because it meant that he could do it safely and boldly without worrying about the consequences.

"Then, let us replace wine with tea, and wish our cooperation a success!"

"When" the four tea cups touched together, it means that Las Vegas has since embarked on another development path. What everyone in the house does not know is that in another time and space, Tan Zhenhua’s past life, Stephen Wayne This "West Coast Gambling King" will take the same steps after many years of brewing and achieve great success, and for this he won the "most noble" honor-he is honored as the "Father of Las Vegas" ", he became a legend when he was still alive.

Well, by the way, this "Father of Las Vegas" Mr. Stephen Legend has a good friend who is a real estate developer, and even the current Golden Nugget Hotel was contracted by him, but at this moment his A good friend was facing the threat of bankruptcy and had to often appear in some small roles in Hollywood or participate in talk shows to make ends meet. Later, his good friend turned over and became the president of the United States...

"Eric, I owe you a favor."

This was when Stephen Wayne quietly grabbed Tan Zhenhua's words before going out.

"You will have a chance to pay it back." Tan Zhenhua replied with a smile.
