Chapter 374: Chapter 374: The Buildup before Opening_1

Indeed, the opening must be a lively affair.

However, Xiao Ying Entertainment Center is special. Based on the card game restrictions, we can’t accept local Russians!

If we only cater to "foreigners", where are we going to find so many customers? This is indeed a major concern...

Miss He furrowed her brow and asked, "I remember you mentioned last time that there are many Chinese businessmen here as well as businessmen from Vietnam, Black, Turkey, and Korea. They are all our potential customers, aren’t they?"

This reminded Wang Ye of something.

He slapped his forehead, chuckling, "Really, I’ve been too busy recently, a bit dizzy, even forgot such an important task. Wait a moment; I’ll call someone over."

After saying that, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, President Kong, it’s Mikhail. Are you at the company now... Great, could you come over to Xiao Ying Entertainment Center... Yes, it’s the former Xiao Ying Hotel. Yes, we need to have a meeting. We are about to open soon..."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Miss He, "This President Kong is the richest Chinese in Russia and has extensive contacts in Chinese business circles. I promised him before that I would give him the business of chip exchange. As a condition for the exchange, President Kong will help us solve the customer source problem!"

Miss He’s eyes lit up, she quickly responded, "He can solve the customer problem? That’s great! Our target customers have always been those foreign businessmen."

Indeed, there isn’t an overwhelming number of foreigners in Moscow nowadays.

But the situation in the big market might be different as most foreigners in Moscow are likely concentrated there.

If we count the Chinese businessmen, Koreans, Turks, and Black in our plan, there might be two or three hundred thousand foreigners making a living there.

Of course, those who can be considered bosses should be around thirty or forty thousand. These people are the target customers of Xiao Ying Entertainment Center!

When Wang Ye initially promised to let Big Head Kong lend out money in the field, he also took into consideration the fact that Big Head Kong had been mixed up in the big market for many years and was familiar with all the circles there.

Additionally, he doesn’t want to handle the "dirty business" of loan sharking himself.

...

Everyone chatted and waited for Big Head Kong’s arrival.

They didn’t have to wait long. About half an hour later, the door to the meeting room was pushed open, and Big Head Kong rushed in, led by a staff member.

He first greeted Wang Ye and carefully surveyed the meeting room. Upon seeing Miss He sitting opposite Wang Ye, his eyes lit up.

It wasn’t because he found Miss He attractive, but because he already had a guess of who she was!

Wang Ye cheerfully asked Big Head Kong to sit down and introduced him, "Kong, let me introduce you. This is Miss He, no need for me to say anything more, right?"

Big Head Kong quickly stood up, smiling widely, "It’s an honor to meet you! Hello, Mr. He."

Miss He also smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

After the introduction, Wang Ye cut to the chase and asked, "Mr. Kong, this place will open in a few days, on the 18th. I’ll invite the opening guests, but do you have any ideas for the customers on the first day? I only have one requirement: the scene must be lively. Also, don’t bring in some disorderly people to fill up the place; that will downplay its class!"

Hearing Wang Ye’s question, Big Head Kong patted his chest and said, "There will be no issue in this area! I have thought about it and have been waiting for the opening! Since it’s opening on the 18th, there are two or three days to prepare. I plan to do it this way..."

As he spoke, he explained his plan to Wang Ye and Miss He.

Surprisingly, both Wang Ye and Miss He nodded along, feeling that he had quite a few good ideas.

In the end, Wang Ye approved his plan, "Okay! We’ll do as Mr. Kong suggests. It’s all in your hands now."

Big Head Kong assured them with a ’No Problem’ repeatedly!

...

On December 16th, in the morning.

The New Sun Market was as bustling as usual.

The shoe section, where the big bosses are concentrated due to the best location.

All shoe bosses prided themselves on having a stall in this section.

If you claim to do big business but when asked about your shop’s location, you reveal it’s not in Section One, people will doubt your true capacity...

Russian salesmen and translators, as well as laborers, were busy, while the real bosses casually gathered to drink tea, read the newspapers, and chatted about recent news in the market.

In Boss Liu’s stall, he hadn’t been at the stall for long when several close bosses walked in.

"My brothers, are you here to play cards again? Ha ha, sorry about yesterday, I was on a roll and won a lot of money from you all. Once the market closes today, I’m treating, we will go to the Turandot Restaurant!" Boss Liu said brightly.

The group enjoyed playing cards, and they often gambled large amounts.

They often gathered at Boss Liu’s place to play cards, and if there were no problems with the stall, they would play for an entire morning or afternoon.

Boss Liu was indeed lucky yesterday, winning a grand total of nearly 30,000 US dollars in one afternoon!

This amount of money, while not astronomical to common people, was still a huge sum.

However, for these more capable bosses, it wasn’t a large amount. Besides, it wasn’t lost by just one person. On average, each person only lost a few thousand dollars.

"Boss Liu, have you heard? A legal casino is about to open in Moscow!" one of the bosses said mysteriously.

Upon hearing this, Liu’s eyes lit up.

He did a substantial amount of business and spent seven to eight months in Moscow every year. However, other than business, he felt there was nothing else worthy here.

There were barely any places for entertainment – the pubs and bowling alleys that the Russians enjoyed were not his cup of tea, and he was also concerned about security issues.

Now, hearing about a "legal casino", he became instantly invigorated.

As long as it is legal, safety should not be a problem.

It was certainly of a high class with all sorts of entertainment projects. It was undoubtedly an excellent leisure place for powerful bosses like him...

"Where is it? Has it opened yet? Why haven’t I heard of it?" Boss Liu asked eagerly.

Before his friend could answer, a voice came from outside the stall.

"Is Boss Liu in the stall?"

Boss Liu turned his head and immediately put on a smile, striding out to greet the newcomer.

He also called out, "Ah, Mr. Kong. What a rare visitor!"
