However, the investment in the hotel industry is relatively large. Generally speaking, four- and five-star hotels only need tens of millions of dollars in hardware facilities, including room decoration and land. This is because the Reno hotel industry is fiercely competitive and the hotel scale is not large. The number of rooms in the Reno star hotel is generally 42, purely to deal with the hardware ratings of star hotels, and the source of customers here is a big problem.

In Nevada, guest rooms are never the main business, casinos, bars, nightclubs and restaurants are the main business.

If the hardware facilities are rich, it is never a big problem. In addition to the hardware needs to be excellent, the service software must also be excellent. Fortunately, the service industry in the United States is very enthusiastic under the stimulation of tips - the main income of waiters is tips.

Although buying a hotel in Reno seems not the best choice, the hotel industry in Las Vegas is actually saturated, otherwise there would be no rumors that casinos frequently participate in money laundering - the Middle East Prince Casino's meme that spends a lot of money has been used too much.

After making two calls, Zhang Cheng went back to the bench to sit down with Uncle Daqing. Uncle Daqing had already eaten a can. Seeing Zhang Cheng sit down, Uncle Daqing asked, "How long have you been to Reno?"

Zhang Cheng: "In less than three years."

Uncle Daqing said flatly: "Then you must not be an international student. Reno is not big. All Chinese students who work know that a Chinese named James is addicted to gambling and accomplished nothing. I have been here for nine years, and all the students here know me. I am their negative teaching material. Hehe.

But, I would have died without them. I have been sick twice in the past nine years, and I have survived it by the medicine brought by international students from China. You know, we look down on illness in the United States."

Uncle Daqing really guessed correctly, Zhang Cheng is not an international student.

Uncle Daqing's eyes wandered and asked, "How are your aunts and the others?"

Zhang Cheng really wanted to say that her aunt had remarried with her two daughters. And that man was a real man and a pure man, and the mother and daughter were both.

Unfortunately, this is not true.

Zhang Cheng had to say truthfully: "My aunt is taking care of people. There are people taking care of them in the hospital. You know that nursing is just a little tired. Xiaojing and Xiaoying should be in the college entrance examination this year. I heard that her grades are much better than mine back then, and she is always among the top in the class. Actually, you really want to know. Isn't it better to just call me?"

Uncle Daqing: "A man lives a face, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense. Your Uncle Daqing has no face to call back now. I called nine years ago and told them that when I get rich in the United States, I will take them over with me..."

Zhang Cheng knew that if it weren't for gambling, Uncle Daqing would have locked himself in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant like many Chinese people who came to the United States for a few years, and then went home with tens of thousands of dollars or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But how to say it, Uncle Daqing is also an associate professor and a senior intellectual, and asked him to put his face down and work as a coolie. This is inconsistent with the thoughts of the people of their era. Of course, my aunt was also a person of that era. If you want to change to modern young people, they would have remarried with their daughters long ago. Now, it is very popular to remarry with their daughters, let alone twin daughters.

The two were silent for a while until Zhang Cheng stopped when he saw Zhuoni's Mercedes-Benz in the parking lot in the distance. Zhuoni walked out of the car in a full-time suit and tie as always.

When Zhuoni approached, Zhang Cheng stood up and introduced to the two people: "Zohnny, this is my partner, performance artist James. This is my personal lawyer Zhuoni."

Then Zhang Cheng said to Zhuoni alone: ​​"We have a business negotiation later. Go and clean up my partner James, how to dress up a successful person. Send the bill and attorney fees to my home. Then take James to the slot machine area of ​​the BRICS Resort Hotel to find me, understand?"

Jonny, who entered the working mode, pulled James up: "Brother, we're leaving."

Originally, the age of the Emily sisters was not enough to enter the casino, but how to say it, the regulations were determined by people, and there must be loopholes. Zhang Cheng used Franklin to average the age of the Emily sisters, and the security guard smiled and took the three people into the casino area.

I don’t know how long it took to play. Zhang Cheng’s lawyer, Johnny, arrived here with a brand new successful person, James.

Then Zhuangni took Zhang Cheng and James to the manager's room again. When Zhuangni arrived at the manager's room, he said, "My boss heard that there is an intention to transfer here."

Manager: "My boss, Mr. John, has no intention of running the family's traditional industry, and we were even more disappointed that we were rated as four stars the year before. You should know that our equipment and services are all five stars."

Jonny: "Can you ask why?"

Manager: "The North American Hotel Evaluation Committee will send trial residents to check in various hotels from time to time in secret. The trial residents were quarreled by a drunken guest who passed by and the woman who brought him back to the room. But don't worry, after knowing the reason why our star rating was lowered last year, the hotel's rooms were fully renovated, and the door walls of the guest rooms were all made of the latest green and environmentally friendly sound-absorbing materials. Similar incidents will never happen again."

Jonny: "The last thing is the transfer price of the hotel."

Manager: "My boss will not accept bids below this price, and this hotel is worth this price."

Zhuoni asked several questions about profitability, occupancy rate, employee facilities, etc., and the manager answered them one by one. Then Zhuoni looked at Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng nodded. Zhang Cheng had asked about the hotel price before coming, and the price was within expectations. If it was a hotel of the same size in Las Vegas, it might take three times the price now to be won.

Jonny: "That's fine, when will your boss come to sign?"

Manager: "How about nine o'clock in the morning two days? Then hold a signing ceremony and invite some media to come. The transfer of the hotel itself is also a promotion."

Zhang Cheng was actually a little resistant to attending the signing ceremony, but the manager was right. Transferring a hotel is also a kind of publicity, and it is still a matter of coming for the hotel.

As for James, Zhang Cheng opened a room for Uncle Daqing in the hotel and stayed in temporarily.

Three days later, a news that Chinese people continued to buy the world came to life. In fact, Zhang Cheng is of American nationality, and the only Chinese people who said in the newspaper were Uncle Daqing, who had just obtained a green card.

Zhang Cheng gave Daqing Uncle three percent of the hotel shares and continued to live in the hotel as a hotel director and supervisor - the manager was a talented person. After asking the other party that his salary remained unchanged (annual salary of US$180,000, and a dividend of 2% per quarter), Zhang Cheng left him as the general manager of the hotel.

Also staying behind were 330 employees of the hotel - some special "room service" and "body massage" personnel in the hotel are not employees of the hotel. The hotel does not pay them expenses, and their tips are their own. However, as a comprehensive hotel, they cannot be without them.

The hotel also does not directly spend money on some strippers, magicians, strippers, circuses, strippers, overhead dance troupes, strippers, acrobatic troupes, strippers, etc. who come to the hotel to perform every day all rely on tips from the audience. The hotel only hires a pianist and a violinist to perform at the meal time of the guests.

It can be seen from this that stripping is an American culture in the United States that has not yet applied for intangible cultural heritage.

There are eight bar and restaurants in various styles of the Golden BRICS Resort Hotel, which are not intended to change its name. The largest one is a large restaurant for wedding banquets. In order to take care of so many restaurants and guests, there are 36 chefs in the kitchen. They mainly make Chinese, Japanese and Mexican dishes.

In order to take care of the combination of Americans' tradition of enjoying bars and the trend of the times, there are true love (gile friends) bars, lily bars, and fuji bars - normal bars are strippers performing, while fuji bars are muscle shows. As for how fuji girls think, it is not something that hotels need to consider.

The next day after signing, Zhang Chengkai came out of the magnificent BRICS Resort Hotel, and Zhang Chengkai took James to the entrance of a noble community outside the city, not far from Bruce Farm - Uncle Daqing can't drive, and he is a disabled person in the United States.

Zhang Cheng introduced: "The three-bedroom and three-bathroom building area of ​​the real Reno Gaoshang Community is 216 square meters. Your neighbors are all guys with their own miniature ranch farms. One acre of land around the house can bring out the unique talent of Chinese people's full skilled vegetable cultivation - otherwise you will have to drive dozens of minutes to buy vegetables every day.

You don’t have to worry about breaking into two black people at night when you live here, and you will have to do something strange after the robbery..."

After Cadillac drove in, Uncle Daqing unexpectedly saw a wife and two daughters standing beside a Mercedes-Benz in the yard. Uncle Daqing asked Zhang Cheng excitedly: "I just called them a video call yesterday morning. They should have just asked for leave to apply for a visa. Why did they come here so soon..."

Zhang Cheng: "There is a Catholic country in the United States that is free of visas. I have some acquaintances there and are senior church leaders. I told them that the husbands and fathers of these three people have been praying in the church for ten years. Now they need to apply for passports as soon as possible to go to the United States to meet their husbands and fathers.

After the church confirmed that, Luxembourg sent someone to take a plane from the Embassy in China to apply for the Luxembourg passport for the person's family, and then caught the city's flight to Tokyo, and transferred from Tokyo to Reno this morning. Then I sent a lawyer to pick you up. I went to pick you up.

That's probably what happened, it's really gratifying, gratifying."

Another reason is that Luxembourg is very economically controlled by the Vatican. Public officials stationed abroad sometimes make church clergy serve as church clergy.

Uncle Daqing almost didn't listen to what Zhang Cheng said. After the car stopped, he opened the car door and hugged his wife and children and cried bitterly. Seeing that the Northeast man was crying so sadly, Zhang Cheng began to doubt whether Uncle Daqing was a Northeast man.

It was not interesting to see the family reunion. Zhang Cheng brought a box of California snake fruit, a box of milk and a box of vacuum-packed beef from the trunk of the car into the house. Seeing Zhang Cheng enter the house, lawyer Zhuoni brought a bag of rice, a bag of high-gluten flour, and a bucket of salad oil into the house.

The outside of the second floor small western-style building is painted pure white, and the inside maintains the original color of the red oak boards - the furniture and appliances are complete, and of course, the refrigerator is empty.

Zhang Cheng and Zhuang Ni packed up in the kitchen. The family of four wiped their tears and entered the house. Seeing Zhang Cheng, Uncle Daqing couldn't help but say, "It seems like dreaming these days..."

Zhang Cheng: "Okay, loyalty is mutual, otherwise who is loyal? We Chinese are loyal to Chinese who are loyal... No, this car will be transferred to your name and learn to drive. I won't talk about the importance of driving. Call me if you need anything."

Zhang Cheng left his Cadillac, and Zhuoni sent Zhang Cheng to the door of the garage of Bruce Ranch before leaving. Zhang Cheng drove the Lincoln Navigator SUV from the garage.

Before starting the car, Zhang Cheng made a phone call first: "Baby Katherine..."

Katherine: "Well, the new Nevada billionaire called me!"

Zhang Cheng: "I've been a billionaire for a long time. You don't know. I just don't like to show off. How about it, I'll leave you a luxury suite at the BRICS Resort."

Katherine: "What are the benefits?"

Zhang Cheng: "The plasma cannon tube is enough!"

Catherine: "See you the day after tomorrow."

Catherine is now famous, and Reno also has the title of "City Never Sleep" and "Las Vegas Little". Where is it not a gambling place. Besides, playing Texas Hold'em Casino only makes some taps, and not bets with the casino. What is it not to play?

When Zhang Cheng returned home and read today's local news, he realized that he was famous because after the news of signing to buy a hotel yesterday, everyone began to think about where an invisible Chinese rich man appeared, and then the reporter dug out all of them.

News General Zhang Cheng's industries are valuing one after another, and conservatively estimate that Zhang Cheng is now worth tens of billions of dollars. He has entered the richest one percent of the people in the United States.

It’s just that there has been no listed company, so it seems relatively low-key without having to disclose financial information. Because of the legendary nature of the winery with the highest profit and the highest valuation under its name, it is equivalent to an advertisement for Zhang Cheng - the news said that the Holy Blood Wine Manor is worth at least 9 billion US dollars, which can be said to be one of the most valuable investments in the 21st century.

The second is Zhang Cheng's original shares in the joint venture weight loss drug company. It is said that the price of this weight loss drug has tripled due to some inconvenient reasons. The production capacity has expanded ten times last year, and the market is still in short supply. The dividends at full capacity will be extremely considerable this year, and it is also out of the mentality of repairing the wall. After Zhang Cheng bought the hotel, he gave the gene repair agent to his mentor for research to see what new drugs can be developed.

Zhang Cheng's valuation of 10% of the shares of this weight loss drug company is 500 million US dollars, and the remaining indoor women's teams, farms, ranches, forest farms, etc. are valued at 500 million US dollars. This calculation makes the billionaires freshly released.

Before I finished reading all the news, my dad called: "Why did you think of buying a hotel?"

Zhang Cheng was surprised: "Where did you see it?"

Dad: "It's news."

Zhang Cheng asked tentatively: "CCTV at seven o'clock?"

Dad: "Stop dreaming, online news."

Zhang Cheng: "Oh."

Dad: "We held a board meeting to study it. The American aged whiskey sold to you next month will be on the market. Now it is being distributed. During the off-season of your hotel, can you evenly place a few places to reward dealers with good performance?"

Zhang Cheng: "No problem, how about a weekly star?"

Dad: "That's too fast, it's better to be the star of the month. Is the hotel so empty?"

Zhang Cheng: "The competition is fierce, and small profits survive."

Dad: "Then let's have another wine lottery, three places per month. Nevada Seven Days Resort Hotel?"

Zhang Cheng: "No problem. There is a suite."

Since I drink more than 10,000 yuan per bottle of foreign wine, I am afraid I won’t come to the casino to give money.

What Zhang Cheng didn't expect later was that most people who came to the United States for drinking and winning prizes were mostly ordinary people - because this aged whiskey wine is a luxury product and is not very famous at the beginning, the sales have not been very high, and the winning rate is quite considerable.

Moreover, winners who really like to drink this wine and are not short of the money are not short of the money. They often get the winning tickets for seven-day trips to four-star resorts in the United States. The winning tickets are often given to people - the same thing, having money may not necessarily have time.

With this prize ticket, it is much easier to apply for a visa to travel to the United States, and many people regard it as a ticket to the express train to work in the United States.

In fact, as far as the United States is concerned, it does not care or is happy to see that it uses Chinese and Mexicans to replace domestic African-American workers. Especially the crime rate of Chinese Americans is very low, and the violent crime rate is simply the lowest in the world. Some American economists jokingly claimed in magazines that Greece should introduce one to two million Chinese immigrants to create social wealth, and then Greece's huge debt can be solved.

Of course, due to the Chinese threat theory, although the United States can sit idly by and watch a large number of Chinese come to the United States to work and pretend to be myopic, it does not want to issue so many green cards, otherwise it would not have been the case for mainland Chinese to draw green cards every year.

After calling my dad here, the professor called again: "I analyzed the ingredients of the medicine you sent and successfully prepared it in the laboratory. The new medicine you obtained is somewhat different from the traditional Chinese medicine you provide - it can only repair epidermal damage and protect the skin to a certain extent.

Now an international cosmetics company is willing to pay 200 million US dollars to purchase the patent for this new drug. They are planning to use this drug to make repair creams, foundations, facial cleansers, shower gels, facial masks and other products. What do you think?"

Zhang Cheng's eyes turned: "Instead of letting them make money, we should make money by ourselves. I heard that the cosmetics industry is not difficult and profitable. We only need to ask the headhunting company to dig out three teams of production, management and sales of cosmetics companies. I think 10% of the dividend rights are enough to attract the middle and senior management of the three teams. The rest are ours, each of which is 45%. It will not cost much money to acquire a cosmetics company that is about to go bankrupt."

Professor Nelson: "Good idea, I'll contact the headhunter company now."
