Chapter 945 (1/2)

If we say that there is no world-famous gambling city with worse basic conditions than Las Vegas, which is located in the desert of the western United States, there is no more successful gambling city than Las Vegas.

Now that someone has been able to carve out such a commercial miracle in the arid desert, there's nothing impossible about any other part of the world.

Simon heard Andre ward Milka's answer and immediately realized that the two people around him were obviously thoughtful.

Rovno, located in the hinterland of Eastern Europe, has few natural and cultural landscapes. If we want to develop tourism, we can only take the lead.

Gambling industry is just the easiest way to succeed.

Because of huge profits.

High gambling profits can bring sufficient funds, and then use these funds to artificially create all kinds of entertainment and leisure activities, further attract tourists, and then bring tourists into the casino, forming an ecological cycle.

The most typical case is still Las Vegas.

Today, although Las Vegas is still a world-famous gambling city, and the locomotive effect of casinos in the city's economic development has not changed at all, the proportion of gambling industry has been decreasing, but the catering, shopping, performance and other aspects are becoming more and more prosperous.

In fact, it also means that the economic structure of this city is becoming more and more healthy and stable.

It belongs to the long-term way.

However, gambling city is definitely not so easy to build.

Few cities around the world have been successful in decades of ambitious attempts to build a second Las Vegas.

The most unsuccessful case happened to be in the United States.

Atlantic City.

This city, located on the coast of New Jersey in the south of New York, decided to vigorously develop the gambling industry in the 1970s, and aspired to become Las Vegas on the east coast of the United States.

As a result, except in the 1980s, when the U.S. economic recovery was booming for a while, it was still tepid.

Many of the capital that invested heavily in Atlantic City is in deep trouble. After the new century, more than half of the casinos in Atlantic City have gone bankrupt, and the surrounding industrial ecology like Las Vegas has not developed.

Simon now controls a number of casinos in Atlantic City, such as the most famous Taj Mahal.

Although this is a chicken bone asset.

The planning stage of this hot spring resort now has the advice of the team in Atlantic City.

In the Theater Hall of the resort.

Simon thought for a moment, and finally said: ”Andre, I appreciate your idea. However, you should know that if you want to develop the gambling industry here, and it's not a small fight now, it involves too many aspects, such as the industrial policy in the general direction of Ukraine, which can not be effective in a short time. In my opinion, to achieve the ultimate goal is only the first stage, it will take ten years.

To develop a gambling city, the first problem we need to face is money.

A lot of money.

Just like Atlantic City, in the development stage of the 1980s, all major capitals spent hundreds of millions of dollars on it, because only in this way can we artificially create a series of high-end entertainment places that can attract gamblers.

Secondly, it is also very important to provide policy support.

At present, gambling halls and small casinos are springing up in Ukraine, but at the national level, they just turn a blind eye to it, just like video halls everywhere in China, and there is no special industry regulation.

Therefore, if we want to develop a gambling city, the policy level is absolutely an unavoidable problem.

And it's not just that.

If Ukraine develops gambling industry, it will be mainly for overseas tourists, which inevitably involves visa policy, foreign exchange and other aspects.

None of these can be achieved overnight.

Thirdly, even if the above two core problems are solved, the gambling city may not be able to develop successfully.

It's like Atlantic City.

There is no shortage of money and policies, but it has not been successful, because it also involves the actual operation.

In the final analysis, the gambling industry is still a business. It needs skills to do business. Some people make money, others lose money.

Finally, there is the distribution of interests, and the impact of Ukraine's future political environment on the industry.

If the country falls into turbulence or even civil war again after the new century, even the state of Rovno, which is located in the northwest frontier, will not be affected, and the overseas tourists who are very sensitive to the public security environment will certainly be reduced due to their scruples.

In short, all kinds of hemp.

Andre listened to Simon's words and said seriously: ”boss, Alexander and I have been studying the development plans of gambling cities all over the world, considering many problems. We didn't expect to succeed in the short term, mainly because we hope to get your support from the boss. ”

Simon said: ”for the time being, I can only say that I have no objection. As for the support and the degree of support, it still depends on the results of your work. Just like the expansion of the resort, you can start planning, but in the short term, I will definitely not make additional investment to you. I have invested a lot here, so it is not wise to blindly expand. ”When they heard that they were disappointed at first, they responded immediately. Alexandre Avenue asked, ”boss, you said we can't make additional investment. Does that mean that Andre and I can use our existing income for sustainable development?”

Simon nodded with a smile: ”yes, but I don't hold 100% of the three projects, so you need to convince other shareholders first.”

”Boss, in the process of lobbying, can we explain your attitude to other shareholders?”

”Yes, in this way, recently you will draw up a detailed written plan for me.” Simon said, but did not forget to knock: ”and, in the future, remember to communicate more with Celia, I do not want to happen beyond my expectations.”

Andre and Alexander agreed.

So chatting, the stage is ready, a staff came to confirm, get permission, the performance officially began.

The story of Swan Lake tells the love story between a princess who has been cursed by the devil and a prince. It was written by the famous Russian composer Tchaikovsky according to German fairy tales. There have been many variant versions in the past century, especially the ending of the story. There are comedies and tragedies.

The third act selected by Simon is the biggest conflict turning point in the story. The devil's daughter, the black swan, tempts the prince to get engaged, which makes the prince abandon the agreement with the white swan.

The lights in the hall were dim, and when the music sounded, Simon no longer talked to the two people around him.

Even though he is not very interested in it, Simon never denies that it is a real art. In particular, Kiev ballet is a world-class ballet team. Every member of the team is selected by thousands. Basically, from childhood, the best years of these dancers' life are bound together with ballet.

The story begins at the palace ball where the prince chooses the bride.

as like as two peas, the black swans are the same as the white swans. The most exciting part is the interaction between the prince and the black swan in the second half.

And the most famous ”32 circle whiplash”.
