Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 376: Grand Opening_1

Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Grand Opening_1

Those bosses who received the invitation, when asked about it, were all beaming.

Obviously, this meant their prestige was considerable!

It was equivalent to receiving an "official" certification stating they were a known figures in the big market...

Otherwise, why would so many people not receive an invitation while they did!

And those small bosses who did not receive an invitation were full of envy and jealousy.

A $5,000 cash voucher may not mean much to the big bosses who received invitations. It’s the invitation itself that gave them cause for pride.

But for small bosses, a $5,000 cash voucher was very tempting!

Unfortunately, they were not powerful enough to make the invite list...

......

Apart from sending out invitations and cash vouchers as a marketing strategy, publicity was also essential.

In the past few days, the first few pages of popular market tabloids were basically "occupied" by ads for the Xiao Ying Entertainment Center!

Various pictorial introductions gave everyone an insight into what the soon-to-open Xiao Ying Entertainment Center was all about.

It is a large gambling center, but importantly, it is also the only legal casino in Russia...

Although it’s unknown how the boss behind the scenes managed to secure the casino license, it further proved the profound and influential background of the center!

Apart from gambling, it also offers a variety of cuisines, accommodation, entertainment facilities, etc.

In other words, as long as your wallet is thick enough, it is "heaven"!

For the big market bosses who lack entertainment, this is definitely a great place to relax and have fun...

Usually, when people want to play cards, they have to hide in their stalls or in cramped apartments.

But now, with one-stop food, drink, and entertainment, live card dealing by beautiful croupiers, full professional facilities, delicious food, bowling, and even beds to rest on when tired, they have it all.

To put it mildly, many bosses have been eagerly looking forward to such a venue.

Otherwise, what’s the use of working so hard every day to earn so much money...

Of course, this does not apply to all bosses.

After all, some bosses earn money just for their business, and the work itself is a pleasure for them.

The money they earn, they will save as much as possible and use it for business expansion.

However, these people are obviously not the target customers of Xiao Ying Entertainment Center...

Aside from introducing Xiao Ying Entertainment Center, many people were surprised to see a special note in the advertisement.

After the opening, there will be free shuttle buses between the big market and Xiao Ying Entertainment Center!

No need to spend a dime, luxury bus pick-up and drop-off for free. Just twenty minutes or so, and you can go directly from the big market to Xiao Ying Entertainment Center.

Plus, there are many bus routes, the first batch is twenty buses, circulating back and forth from noon to night.

Depending on the situation, more will be added later...

In other words, as long as you want to play, the entertainment center will definitely provide you with all the conveniences!

......

At noon on December 18, amid widespread anticipation, Xiao Ying Entertainment Center officially opened!

The music fountain in front of the square had been activated, but it was a pity that it was still daytime and there was no light, so it lacked some atmosphere.

One luxury car after another drove in, stopping in front of the steps to allow rear-seat passengers to get off easily.

Because of the "nature of the business", Wang Ye didn’t invite any governmental officials, only invited business tycoons like Khodorkovsky and A Bu, as well as many celebrities.

Kodorkovsky and A Bu arrived together, Wang Ye had been waiting at the steps.

Upon seeing them alight from the car, Wang Ye greeted them with a smile.

"Uncle, Uncle A Bu, I did not expect you two to come together."

Looking at Wang Ye, Khodorkovsky also showed a smile on his face, although the two weren’t actually "uncle and nephew," he was still proud of Wang Ye!

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Mikhail was his nephew, Khodorkovsky.

In recent months, Mikhail’s name has been widely circulated in Moscow’s high circles.

At first, people discussed the young man as "Khodorkovsky’s nephew".

But now, when Khodorkovsky’s name comes up, people specifically mention, "This is Mikhail’s uncle"...

Khodorkovsky even wondered if in a year or two, when people introduce him in public, they’ll straight out ignore his position as the "President of the Yukos Group" and just use "Mikhail’s uncle" instead!

Of course, even if that happens, he wouldn’t mind...

"Haha, to attend the opening ceremony of your Xiao Ying Entertainment Center, I returned to Moscow yesterday. I hadn’t chatted with your uncle for a long time, so I went to his company this morning for a cup of coffee and then came here together." A Bu explained with a laugh.

Speaking, he turned to look at the surroundings and looked up at the newly decorated building.

He praised, "Great renovation! It has a bit of a Las Vegas feel, haha."

Wang Ye was quick to be modest, "The infrastructure here is not good enough, and there wasn’t much time, so it’s just a simple setup. After it has been developed, it will be rebuilt."

After some casual chit-chat, Wang Ye led the two into the grand lobby.

............

There’s not much to say about the grand opening.

Ms. He, Wang Ye, Khodorkovsky, and A Bu all cut the ribbon together. Accompanied by the applause of the guests, the Xiao Ying Gambling Entertainment Center was officially open.

Of course, performances by various stars were also indispensable, with Wang Ye even inviting the Russian National Ballet.

Making the "vulgar" bosses of the big market experience high art and culture!

After that, Wang Ye took Khodorkovsky and A Bu to rest in the large office on the top floor.

Given this renovation opportunity, Wang Ye locked down the entire top floor, no longer open to the public.

The area of this floor is nearly 3,000 square meters!

Apart from leaving 500 square meters for his private residence, the rest of the area is specially reserved for senior group personnel and VIPs.

They have two presidential suites, a small bar, a big restaurant, a gym, a private cinema, a large meeting room...

They have everything you could want!

As for Wang Ye’s private residence, it’s extremely extravagant.

From now on, when he’s in Moscow, he plans to live there, not going back to the apartment.

After all, his current position and status make living in that small apartment rather unsuitable.

Moreover, there are considerable security loopholes there.

But living here, he doesn’t have to worry about security at all, as there is an entire team of armed security personnel downstairs...
