Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 212: A Lesson for Wang Ye_1

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: A Lesson for Wang Ye_1

Yuri had just returned from Petersburg today and came to work at the hotel without resting.

Now, he had already led the hotel’s management team to greet them.

After introducing each other, led by Yuri, He Chaoying took another tour around Xiao Ying Hotel.

The current slot machine hall naturally did not catch her eye.

There were less than a hundred slot machines in total, which seemed like just a game. In the large casinos she controlled, any one of them had thousands, or even two to three thousand slot machines!

As for other projects, they were abundantly available in Macao, while Xiao Ying Hotel had none at present.

But she understood that this was the reason why Mikhail wanted to work with her. If this place had everything, there would be no need for him to invite her over...

......

After the visit, they returned to Wang Ye’s office on the top floor.

Only a few core members were in the room: Wang Ye, Kaja, Yuri, as well as He Chaoying and her two assistants.

They were prepared to start formal negotiations in threes.

As for other idle personnel, they went about their own business.

"Misha, how do you plan to cooperate?"

He Chaoying’s posture was very bold, leaning back on the sofa and crossing her legs like a man.

Of course, this was also because she was wearing trousers. If she was wearing a skirt, she probably wouldn’t dare to do so...

Wang Ye said: "I provide the gambling license, the venue, and the necessary capital. The introduced partner only needs to provide us with some skilled workers, as well as the corresponding employee training and management experience. Of course, the gambling tools required by the hotel may also need to be provided by you."

He Chaoying frowned. If it was as Wang Ye said, then she certainly wouldn’t get much of the shares.

After all, all the important things were already prepared by Wang Ye’s side.

Just by providing some staff and training, her share would be pitifully small...

This was not the result she wanted!

"Mr. Mikhail, apart from this hotel, have you prepared your other venues, and can you provide some data for me to see. Also, if all the venues need to be renovated, how much money have you prepared?" He Chaoying asked critically.

Wang Ye replied: "The other two venues have been chosen and are being prepared for purchase. One is a department store in St. Petersburg and the other is Livadia Palace in Crimea Peninsula Yalta! Yuri, show Miss He the information about the department store."

Yuri, who was sitting next to him, quickly took out several pages of information and a few large photos from a folder and handed them to He Chaoying.

As for Livadia Palace, Wang Ye does not need to introduce it. He Chaoying whispered to her assistant, who took a laptop out of the briefcase and started to look it up.

Looking at the department store Yuri chose, He Chaoying frowned for a long time before saying: "This place... the location is good, and there are no major problems with the building as a whole. However, there should be no place to stay, we must purchase a hotel specifically for accommodation nearby."

She took the laptop and looked at the data her assistant found about Livadia Palace. This time she nodded in satisfaction and commented: "This place is very good! The location is good, the scenery is beautiful, and it’s close to the beach, very suitable for a gambling entertainment center."

Wang Ye said helplessly: "After all, St. Petersburg and Moscow are the economic and political centers of Russia. It will be difficult to find particularly satisfying places in a short period of time. My suggestion is to start with these three first, and if necessary, we can buy and build again later."

He Chaoying nodded understandingly.

This was very normal. Once one got the gambling license, it was definitely must to start the business quickly. This thing was a money-making tree, and delaying time was equivalent to losing money!

Moreover, these three places were considered good, not top-level, but passable.

"So have you got all the money?" He Chaoying asked further.

Wang Ye smiled, "Two hundred million US dollars is already in the Group Account. The estimated cost of acquiring these two locations will not exceed twenty million US dollars. This means that we have 180 million dollars left for reconstruction and promotion."

He thought that with so much money, it should be stable. He Chaoying probably didn’t have much more to say.

However, who knew, He Chaoying actually shook her head repeatedly. "Not enough! It’s very inadequate!"

Wang Ye was surprised and asked incredulously:" 180 million US dollars is not enough? We don’t have to make the decoration too luxurious, after all, the tourists are not coming for the luxury of the hotel. They are here to gamble."

He Chaoying smiled and explained: "Mr. Mikhail probably hasn’t understood the gambling industry before. You should know, whether it’s in Macao or Las Vegas, our casinos are beautifully built and immensely luxurious! Do you know why that is?"

Wang Ye didn’t really know...

After all, he hadn’t visited these places in his "past life". He just saw related reports on the news occasionally.

"That’s because we want to create that atmosphere for visitors! The atmosphere of not treating money as money! Make them feel that they are entering the most luxurious place, they will feel embarrassed if they spend less money! Anyone who wants to set up a gambling center, needs to create that atmosphere. Only then will the visitors throw around huge sums of money recklessly, this is also our decades of experience..."

He Chaoying gave Wang Ye a lesson, but what she said made sense.

What people say is true - things are always different from the other side of the mountain. Wang Ye is just getting involved in the gambling industry and naturally does not understand many of the ins and outs.

Luckily he found He Chaoying, this "expert", otherwise this gambling license was estimated to not be that effective...

Wang Ye has a good point, that is, he is humble and believes in letting professionals handle professional matters.

So, after listening to He Chaoying’s explanation, Wang Ye sincerely asked: "Then, Miss He, how much capital do you think we need to start this project?"

After thinking for a moment, He Chaoying flatly said: "Aside from the money to buy venues, we need at least three hundred million US dollars. Because you’re starting three venues at once, it indeed requires a lot of capital."

Wang Ye was startled. Three hundred million dollars...

He asked doubtfully: "Is this three hundred million dollars used for venue renovation? Do we need so much money?"

He Chaoying smiled slightly and patiently said: "The renovation of the casino is originally a bottomless pit with no upper limit! No matter how much money you prepare, it will always run out! If you want, you can use gold bricks to decorate the entire casino hall..."

Wang Ye shook his head helplessly: "Let’s save some. This is all the money I can use now."

He Chaoying was waiting for this sentence!

So she immediately replied: "It’s okay, I can pay for the shortfall!"
