Chapter 30 The Plan to Settle the Tent
Chapter 30 The Plan to Settle the Tent
Zhao Fuquan wasn't in a hurry, and neither was Qin Chuan.
Let him drag it out if he wants; there's still a month left.
The Las Vegas operations were a complete game-changer for the local casinos.
Qin Chuan's concern wasn't whether he could succeed, but rather how to build his reputation.
After all, no matter how good the service is, someone still needs to come.
Seeing that Zhao Fuquan was ignoring everyone and had started writing down accounts on his own,
Qin Chuan didn't want to stay there any longer, so he turned around and went upstairs to the second floor.
The second floor of this gambling den is different from the lobby on the first floor; it is divided into a series of private rooms.
Qin Chuan glanced at it; the furnishings were much more elaborate than those in the main hall.
However, there didn't seem to be many people around.
There are eight private rooms in total. The doors to seven of them are open, and only one room is closed. The faint sounds of dice and conversations can be heard coming from inside, so it is clear that only this one room has guests.
Qin Chuan then entered one of the open private rooms, intending to make some plans on-site.
After a while,
Qin Chuan, however, heard a faint voice coming from the side.
He looked out the door and saw that it was Wu Laosi and Zhao Fuquan who had spoken.
The two seemed to be discussing something in hushed tones.
However, his commotion did not escape the notice of the two people who were discussing the matter.
The two seemed somewhat surprised to see Qin Chuan.
Zhao Fuquan asked, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Chuan walked out of the private room, his face showing no panic or guilt, but rather a calm and composed expression.
He spoke up, "Manager Zhao, I'm looking after the private rooms. Someone has to do what Master Qian ordered. You're busy with the preparations, and I'm just sitting here anyway, so I came up to take a look and get a feel for things."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fuquan replied irritably, "Go downstairs after you're done looking around. Don't wander around on the second floor. This isn't a place you can just come here as you please."
Qin Chuan nodded and walked down the corridor.
Old Wu, standing to the side, was quite surprised by this situation.
Isn't this the little beggar that Zhou Bapi recruited?
How come you can go up to the second floor now after just a few days? You've really made it big!
Moreover, judging from his tone, he seems to know Manager Zhao of the gambling den and they are discussing something.
Watching Qin Chuan's departing figure, Wu Laosi couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked Zhao Fuquan about the situation.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Fuquan also embellished the whole story.
He bluntly stated that this kid had come up with some bizarre ideas from who-knows-where to run the gambling den, and had managed to fool Master Qian.
However, he wasn't so easily fooled. He was just waiting it out for a month. Once he saw that he wasn't making any money over there, he would understand.
After hearing the manager's description, Wu Laosi seemed thoughtful, and then continued to recount what had happened earlier.
"Brother Zhao, could you please approve a little more money? This time, we've found a real cash cow. And he's a complete novice, he can't even roll the dice properly. It would be against all reason not to fleece him!"
Hearing this, Zhao Fuquan frowned and said, "Old Wu, it's not that I don't want to help. Last time, I didn't even help that Zhou guy. You saw the result. I lent out five hundred taels of silver for nothing, and now I can't get it back. It's become a mess. When we settle the accounts at the end of the month, Master Qian won't blame you, but me."
Upon hearing this, Wu Laosi continued, "Hey, Brother Zhao, that incident last time was because that guy surnamed Zhou was careless. He didn't find out clearly that the person actually practiced martial arts and even developed internal strength. Don't worry, we've figured everything out. He's just a rich family's kid, and we don't plan to let him borrow money. We just need to win what he has. We'll win whatever he has in his pocket. No credit, no debts, clean and simple, nothing will go wrong."
After saying that, Zhao Fuquan shook his head again, looking unwilling, but he didn't move his feet an inch.
Wu Laosi has been around for so many years, what kind of situation hasn't he seen?
He saw right through Zhao Fuquan's thoughts; the old man just felt the dividends were too low and wanted to increase them.
But Wu Laosi didn't want to give any more. His group had already invested a lot, and they had also lost a lot in the last incident with Liu Ding.
If we distribute it further, we won't earn much for each person.
"Brother Zhao," Wu Laosi looked around, then pulled Zhao Fuquan into the room and closed the door, "I have a way to settle that messy debt."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fuquan's eyes narrowed instantly, and then he slowly said, "If you can settle that messy debt, I'll agree to what you asked for before."
Wu Laosi licked his lips, then pointed to the surrounding furniture and objects and said:
"That little beggar. Didn't you say he'd won over Master Qian and was going to pull some new trick? Whatever he wanted to buy, you let him buy it. Even if he bought inferior items, when it came time to settle the bill, you'd charge him the best. With a few strokes of the pen, the money would be gone from the account and into the proper place."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fuquan's pupils contracted sharply.
Seeing this, Wu Laosi chuckled and said, "A month from now, once those two elegant rooms are up and running, Master Qian will see that the materials are wrong, the money was spent, and the effect wasn't achieved. Whose responsibility will that be? You can decide. You can completely absolve yourself, saying, 'It was all that kid's doing; I, Old Zhao, am just a moneylender, what can I do?'"
He then made a cleaver gesture and lightly slashed it in the air.
"Then, that little beggar will be gone, we'll have someone to take the blame, the money will be in our pockets, and the messy debts will be settled. It's killing three birds with one stone, don't you think?"
Zhao Fuquan squinted and remained silent.
A moment later,
He walked out of the house, but left behind a single sentence.
"I've approved your money."
......
After leaving the gambling den, Qin Chuan stayed in the hall for a while, gave Xiao Wu a few instructions, and then left the gambling den.
Since Zhao Fuquan is not doing his job, Qin Chuan must make some preparations.
If you want to run a successful Las Vegas resort, the environment and services can be compromised and adjusted gradually.
But there is one point that is of utmost importance.
That's the croupier!
To be more precise, they are beautiful female dealers!
Qin Chuan still vividly remembers the vivid and colorful images that appeared on the screen when he first clicked on that website, leaving a deep impression on his young mind.
Of course, the maids serving the guests could not be of low quality either.
They can't be the maids who serve tea and water; that's the face of the gambling den.
When wealthy people get off their carriages, the first thing they see is them.
This one glance determined their first impression of the gambling den.
If you make a good first impression, everything else will fall into place; if you make a bad first impression, it will be difficult to make up for it later.
As for where to look?
Qin Chuan looked up and saw that on both sides of the long street, pavilions stood side by side, and strings of red lanterns hung densely under the eaves.
Many women dressed in light, colorful clothes were leaning against the railing of the attic, waving handkerchiefs at passersby below, their voices soft and sweet.
"Hey grandpa, come have some fun!"
"Sir, come in and take a look. They're freshly arrived. They're very tender."
"Sir, please come in. The girls around here are the best at serving people."
......
Aren't brothels and singing houses full of women?
And she wasn't an ordinary woman.
She is a carefully trained, attentive, and perceptive woman who knows how to make guests feel comfortable.
Using them as dealers in gambling dens or as hostesses is a perfect match made in heaven.
