Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Russian Gambling King_1

The exaggeration from Kaja was not far from the truth.

There’s really no limit to gambling...

Imagine a big spender coming over and spending millions of US dollars in a night, it’s completely normal!

Think about how much profit a client like that could bring to the Xiao Ying Hotel!

Just relying on room rentals or playing bowling, a thousand guests might not even be able to bring in a million dollars in revenue...

As long as they get the gambling license, Xiao Ying Hotel can definitely be making a fortune every day!

Yuri’s emotions calmed down slightly and he started considering the practical issues.

He frowned and said, "If we have to renovate our hotel and hire a large number of gaming personnel, it’s not going to be easy. Russia doesn’t have those kinds of talents..."

Wang Ye asked leisurely, "If we were to renovate our hotel, how much would it cost to make it like those Las Vegas casinos?"

He didn’t dare to mention top-tier casinos since the "hardware" of Xiao Ying Hotel wouldn’t support it...

So, they could only look up to standard casinos.

Yuri thought for a moment, replying, "That would not be cheap. Hotel renovation, various props, furniture, etc., would likely need a minimum of 50 million US dollars! These shouldn’t be difficult to solve because once we get the gambling license, there will be many people willing to invest. The key is human resources! Where do we find so many experienced people, and many gambling halls require seasoned croupiers."

million US dollars!

Wang Ye frowned slightly; he didn’t have that kind of money.

Even if he were to wait for the year-end dividend from the New Sun Group, he probably wouldn’t receive that much.

The New Sun Market had just started operating, and there was basically no money to be made in the early stage as they waived rents and management fees...

Did he really need to bring in shareholders?

Of course, he could also go and borrow money from Khodorkovsky, and they could settle with a little interest. Khodorkovsky should easily be able to lend him 50 million US dollars.

As for personnel...

Wang Ye also had a good plan!

...

He nodded to Yuri, "I’ll figure out the money and personnel. You need to start making arrangements as soon as possible. The hotel might need to close for some time to undergo renovations! By the way, all the current staff will receive paid leave during the hotel renovation! After the hotel is renovated, they can come back to work."

You have to admit, Wang Ye was a very conscientious boss!

Yuri left excitedly, leaving only Wang Ye and Kaja in the room.

Kaja brought over a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.

She popped the cork with a "pop" and the crimson wine flowed out.

"Congratulations. What should I call you in the future, the Russian Gambling King?" Kaja said playfully.

Wang Ye raised his glass and clinked with her, while playfully saying, "Is there any Gambling King as pitiful as me in the whole world? Just a small hotel, I may even have to borrow money for renovations."

"This’s just the beginning. As long as you have your gambling license, you won’t worry about money in the future." Kaja wasn’t stupid, she saw things clearly.

Actually, in all of Russia, Wang Ye was the first one who got a full-fledged gambling license.

It was quite different from the previous license of Xiao Ying Hotel!

With this license, Wang Ye would inevitably become rich...

So, calling him the "Russian Gambling King" was appropriate!

Wang Ye took a sip of the red wine and didn’t make anything of the taste...

But it doesn’t matter, as long as it was classy!

After a thought, Wang Ye said, "Owning the Xiao Ying Hotel isn’t enough. We at least need to purchase two more hotels, one in St. Petersburg, and the other... in the Crimea Peninsula! This way, we can form a scale and create a ’golden route’ for tourism, attracting more foreign tourists."

To be honest, only Moscow and St. Petersburg are worth promoting in Russia.

With a plethora of places of interest, these cities each have their own charm, which is quite different from Asian cities, and should be able to satisfy Asian tourists.

For other cities, honestly, it’s not necessary to visit.

Strictly speaking, Crimea is not yet part of Russia, but the scenery there is very beautiful and it is a good place to visit.

If they can acquire two more hotels in St. Petersburg and Crimea and turn them into hotels with integrated accommodation, dining, and "gaming" like the Xiao Ying Hotel,

Then, his tourism business can start being promoted!

China - Moscow - St. Petersburg - Crimea, this is a real ’golden route’ for tourism.

In addition to scenery, places of interest, beautiful women, and culture, those interested can also try their luck at the hotel’s gambling hall.

If not aiming to make big money, maybe the cost of the trip can be earned back!

"Ah? You want to buy two more hotels..." Kaja looked at Wang Ye with surprise. She thought this man’s ambitions were too big!

According to Wang Ye’s requirement, the hotels they acquire cannot be small ones. At the very least, they have to be of a similar scale to Xiao Ying Hotel.

Purchasing a similar size hotel in St. Petersburg would not be cheaper than in Moscow...

Although it would be cheaper to buy one in the Crimea Peninsula, it still would not be a small sum.

With the cost of purchasing hotels and renovations, it’s probably going to cost another one or two hundred million US dollars!

Wang Ye didn’t give Kaja too many explanations. He raised his glass and drained his wine.

He got up and said, "Alright, it’s late. Let’s go take a bath and rest."

The suite has a large massage bathtub that can accommodate two people. Wang Ye had a good experience the last time he bathed with Kaja...

...

The next day, Wang Ye still went to work at the New Sun Market.

Because in the past few days, more and more shops have started to open for business. More merchants are also moving their goods over, preparing to open their shops.

He didn’t go to the management office, but first accompanied several bodyguards for a round through the market.

You could see that shoe and fur business owners were the wealthiest!

Many of them rented two or even four or five shops at once. They looked very financially solid!

As for those selling clothes, bags, and accessories, they usually only rented a single shop. The difference was obvious.

After making a round, he returned to his office in the Little Red Building.

Just seconds after he sat down, Nalan Yaqi rushed in.

"Wang Ye, what’s going on between you and my mom!"

Wang Ye looked up in surprise and asked, "How come you’re here? What’s this about your mom? I have nothing to do with your mom."

"Humph, Angelina brought me here. Where were you partying last night? You didn’t even come home!" Nalan Yaqi answered angrily.

Wang Ye replied with a smile, "What does it matter to you whether I come home or not? Why are you minding my business? If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were my wife!"
