Chapter 396 The 395 trial operation was a great success, let’s start next
Chapter 396 395. The trial operation was a great success, and then I started to change my job as a slave trader - [Monthly ticket plus 210 more]
With material assistance from the Batasin Chamber of Commerce, the construction and decoration work of the Booty Bay Casino went very smoothly in the next few days. Lao Huo mobilized the entire village at the expense of providing two meals a day.
In exchange, the villagers actively participated in the clean-up operation.
Although they can't do any delicate work, they can certainly be left with tasks like cleaning and tidying up that they can do with their hands.
On the night before the trial opening, the pink cat and rabbit of the "Pride of the Lion" village personally escorted several large trucks and delivered the machines brought back from the Under Armor Hills to the still busy Booty Bay.
.
At this moment, the whole village has not rested. Lao Huo worked overtime tonight and gave the villagers a midnight snack and added meat. Several large pots were set up next to the construction site to cook on site, making the atmosphere of collective labor very lively.
.
The skillful women, led by Shen Yu, Luo Yan and several civil servants, were doing the final decoration and cleaning in the casino, while the men dismantled the scaffolding and carefully painted the three-story building with gray paint.
on the exterior wall.
These paints are special items bought from Mrs. Tracey's alchemy hut. They can be completely dried after being applied overnight and can effectively ensure a smooth appearance without cracking. They are also highly waterproof.
Cuisi also added some fragrance to the paints according to Lao Huo's request so that they would not emit an unpleasant smell.
If you get close enough, you can even smell the fragrance of roses, which is enough to surprise those pretentious rich people.
Of course, the money spent on such a magical paint is also very "beautiful", and its expensiveness is probably its only drawback. More than half of the forty gold bars supported by Little Rich Brother were spent on purchasing this paint.
But Lao Huo thinks it’s worth it!
"Yes, the appearance is a bit old-fashioned, but considering our current situation, it is quite good to be able to do this. Not only is it in sharp contrast to the landscape of the surrounding villages, it can even be regarded as second to none in the entire Transia."
luxurious'.
Although such luxury is still a bit shabby, our business has just started and we cannot pursue so many details."
The pink cat Rabbit was wearing a Greene-style dress, leaning on a cane and wearing a tall hat, standing next to Old Huo. He looked at the "Booty Bay Casino" that was being finalized in front of him with a critical look.
He said softly:
"Tomorrow afternoon, the Earl of Baishan will entertain the Yankee businessmen here. Then it will be the final moment to make his debut. Whether it works or not will be decided at that time. Boss Huo, are you confident?"
"I would be lying if I said I didn't have confidence, but if I answered that it would definitely work, I probably wouldn't even believe it myself."
Life was good and he shook his head and said to the village chief beside him:
"So I can only use the most vulgar answer to prevaricate you. I will say, I will try my best."
"Yeah, great answer."
The pink cat and rabbit nodded, not expressing whether they liked or disliked it.
This guy has actually been in the game for a long time.
He is among the first batch of guys to participate in the administrative profession, but he is really very low-key, and not many people even among administrative players know him.
But this guy is very "famous" among NPCs.
In the eyes of Archon Miriam, his ability in government affairs is the kind of role that can be "entrusted with important tasks". When the administrative players participated in the assessment and allocation, Miriam specifically asked him if he wanted to stay in the administrative office.
an assistant secretary.
Anyone who has worked in administration knows that this is a shortcut for promotion, but the pink cat and rabbit refused decisively. On the surface, he said that he did not want to be special, but in fact, he was already tired of office politics.
Rather than continuing to work in an office in the game, he would rather be transferred out and flex his muscles as a village chief.
The development direction he has set for his "Pride of the Lion" village is the logistics and transportation industries, and he has made a professional plan that would make the four sisters Chen Yu Luo Yan and Shui Yue Sha Hua feel ashamed.
From this point of view, this guy's identity and experience in reality can also be imagined.
At least in Lao Huo's opinion, Maomaotu's real job title should be quite high, at least it cannot be just the clerk or the uncle who looks after the gate as he modestly calls himself.
This guy has a smooth but calm temperament which proves this, but Lao Huo has a tacit understanding and never asks about these practical matters, so the cooperation between the two in Transia seems to be very pleasant so far.
"After the cooperation with you is completed, I will go to Novice Village to have a chat with Chief Taipal."
Maomaotu took out a pocket watch and checked the time. He said to Lao Huo:
"The Novice Village is backed by the Torrent Knights, and their stronghold is expected to be officially established in the near future. There is an entire area that provides them with materials and development opportunities, making the Novice Village's potential the largest among the five collective farms.
This is something that even Booty Bay, which is a "sword-minded" one, can't keep up with.
Therefore, I think that if our five farms want to maintain unity and development, they must take Novice Village as the core, at least at this stage.
I'd like to ask for your opinion.
If you have no objection, I can propose cooperation intention to Taipal on behalf of our two farms. In addition to Farm No. 5, which has been positioned as the headquarters of the Masons Brotherhood, the combination of the four farms is enough to make us work together!
There is no harm in this for everyone.
The only pity is that Farm No. 4’s ‘Missing Island’ is a bit far away from us, and it’s a mountainous area with difficult transportation.”
"So you already have plans for the future development of Barony Lim?"
Xingzheng was very happy and asked curiously:
"Where do you think the future development path of our farm will end?"
"It's hard to say."
Cat, Cat and Rabbit played with the cane. He thought for a moment and replied:
"The positions of the five farms are very delicate. When Old Chen was planning, he obviously wanted to rely on the union of settlements to create a 'production core' in the Barony of Lim. According to my estimation, if the farms can continue to maintain unity,
If there are no differences, the final result will be that we come together to form a city.
Judging from the terrain, Novice Village is the most suitable for building a city, and the remaining four farms can be used as satellite towns of the city. I guess this is also Lord Murphy's plan."
"In other words, in the future, Transia's first player city leader will be selected from our five village chiefs? No wonder you left the assistant secretary of the administrative office to become the village chief instead. The plan is very big.
you."
Lao Huo narrowed his eyes.
He knew why Maomaotu took the initiative to chat with him about this matter. Lao Huo rolled his eyes and whispered to Maomaotu:
"I can fully support you, but I want to ensure the interests of my 'Booty Bay', do you understand what I mean?"
"It's too early to talk about this now, Boss Huo."
Maomaotu, a steady but cunning middle-aged man, waved his hands and said with a smile:
"Let's get through the black disaster first, and then talk about the future development. But I am sure that if I become the administrative governor of Baron Lim, I will not be stupid enough to give up the profits that the commercial center of the territory can bring.
.
In addition, I ran out to become a village chief not just to become a city lord. To use the second point of the term, my ambition is not so humble."
The pink cat and rabbit stretched out his hand to push his tall hat and said softly:
"With the expansion of Transia's power, Ms. Miriam will not always be a consul. She will also be promoted. You see, we helped Master Murphy conquer this land. This is our responsibility in this continent.
Hometown, so why can’t we enjoy control and management rights over it?
The area of Transia is equivalent to one and a half of the Central Province.
Senior official.
That’s something you can’t get in reality no matter what, so having fun in the game is just about satisfying your own little expectations.”
"Hahahahaha."
Old Huo laughed and bent down, saluting the pink cat and rabbit, and said:
"Then, as the village chief, let me pay tribute to the future Second Consul! But I have a little question, you don't have to answer it."
"You said that I always have the obligation to answer the concerns of my partners."
"Brother, your momentum, your ambition, your steady and bold style of doing things are really admirable, but why did you give yourself such a name? It doesn't match at all!"
"Well, when you have a baby girl and a black-hearted little cotton-padded jacket, you will know why."
——
"Click"
The highly textured mechanical lever was pulled down, and with the movement of gears and levers, the three rows of wheels on the top of the desktop machine began to rotate rapidly. The patterns representing various local beasts in Transia began to fly at a dizzying speed, and again in
This unique machine slowly decelerates under the control of a certain "pseudo-random program" in the calculation orb inside.
Several young men and women who were dressed in gorgeous Yankee style around the machine held their wine glasses and held their breath.
Especially the drunken young man sitting in front of the machine was staring intently at the wheel in front of him, muttering:
"Flying lion! Flying lion! You can also have a Griffin!"
"Snapped"
The first pattern was fixed as a golden flying lion, which made the young man clenched his fists.
The second pattern then stopped, and the flying lion appeared again in the three-frame screen. At this time, the young men and women next to the machine had begun to cheer, until the third roller stopped, and when the third flying lion appeared in front of everyone, the faint smile
The drunken young man stood up and roared, waving his fists.
It seemed that all the anger and unwillingness of losing thirteen times in a row were transformed into the sweetest joy and victory at this moment. This time, he won back all the chips he had lost before and made a third of it.
"Hahaha."
This young man who was as strong as a bear laughed and hugged the waist of the coquettish lover beside him. The latter gave a passionate kiss to the luckiest person tonight with a wink.
And as the machine's buckle opens, the jingling sound of chips falling into the box is so pleasant, as if the temptation of gold coins makes those guys next to you who are eager to try it all eager to try.
There are a total of six such mechanical gambling equipment, which are placed beside the lobby of Booty Bay. The place is already surrounded by descendants of wealthy Yankee businessmen.
Young people always like this kind of novelty.
Especially when its gameplay is simple enough but exciting enough or even cool enough, it can always quickly become a new favorite in entertainment.
But older people don't like this kind of explicit gambling on luck. They think it has no technical content at all. They prefer to win through their own operations and taste the real sweetness.
For example, at the four smooth stone tables carved with black stone next to the mechanical gambling equipment, three businessmen with all backgrounds are sitting on luxurious velvet chairs, holding three Transian playing cards in their hands, talking to each other
Observe expressions and micro-movements to guess the opponent's trump card.
The three of them had large and small chips on hand, while Chen Yu, who served as the temporary dealer, had a professional smile on his face but was thinking about the profits from tonight's trial operation.
Well, it's much better than expected.
And she and Lao Huo seemed to have overlooked one point. For people who long for relaxation and leisure, fun itself is much more important than the environment in which to have fun.
When faced with the dazzling variety of entertainment methods introduced by "Booty Bay" that had never appeared before, as well as the musical accompaniment and exotic food from other worlds, even the big businessmen of the Yankees were somewhat agitated.
Can't hold it.
What's more, the distinguished Earl of Baishan was currently playing bridge with some of the most prestigious businessmen in the VIP box on the second floor.
As long as the queen's younger brother did not leave, the businessmen present had to pretend to be interested even if they had no interest in this form of entertainment.
They have learned from their respective channels that this casino contains part of the Earl of White Mountain's shares.
Don't care how the news got out!
The important point is that this news is true. Just knowing this is enough for savvy businessmen to understand the significance of the existence of this casino. Although the Earl has been clarifying that he is not involved in domestic politics, his identity and status have been
Determined that his friendship is very expensive and precious.
So, who would give up this good opportunity in front of them?
Lao Huo's face was flushed at this time, and he looked down from the railing at the edge of the second floor.
In order to increase his popularity tonight, he specially invited all the idle young players over. From here, you can clearly see Brother Bang and Brother Mingmiao playing mahjong with two Yankee businessmen at a table.
There are a few brothers who are good at this and are giving pointers.
Farther away, Professor Chen was smiling and guiding several ladies to play bridge.
Tsk, as expected, the scholarly temperament of the old professor is still popular with women, and those ladies are almost attached to old Chentou.
The young student party members "occupied" a machine and yelled about betting on luck. They even hooked up with some younger Yankees to discuss some topics that were only interesting to them at this age.
.
Because the training of the service staff was completely substandard, Lao Huo had to invite members of the girl group to temporarily serve as dealers. Then he discovered, as expected, that there were especially many guests at Mrs. Shui's table.
Alas, the world is getting worse!
"How is everyone's acceptance?"
Lao Huo happily picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, then asked the shy flower who was following him.
Shameful Flower lowered her head and said angrily:
"There are no bad reviews, at least there are no bad reviews so far, but the more complicated gameplays are not well accepted, and the lottery tickets placed at the door by the Blood Rat Gang are selling very well.
The merchants bought it casually, but their servants were very keen on this opportunity to "get rich overnight". Another phenomenon I noticed.
The servants of the merchants will not follow them into the casino hall. This may be due to the difference in status due to the hierarchical system, but they will wait outside the door until the merchants finish playing.
This is manpower that can be utilized!
I suggest that when the second phase of the project is started, an entertainment venue should be built specifically for them. The name can be lower-key, but the interior decoration should be the same as here, so as to satisfy the vanity of the businessmen's entourage.
This was an oversight on our part, and the localization was still not good enough."
"Well, write it down and change it later."
He was doing well and nodded, then he glanced at the shy flower with his head down in a strange way, and said:
"Chen Yu didn't beat you, did he?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Hearing this, Xihua was so uncomfortable that she cried. She begged:
"She has been cold and violent to me in the past two days, and she also told the other two bad guys not to talk to me. I feel so uncomfortable. Marry her as soon as possible and ask her to move away as soon as possible."
"This is not something I can decide."
Boss Huo sighed, his face full of depression.
But soon someone came to the door. A Yankee businessman took the initiative to find Lao Huo and wanted to invest in the casino. From the expression in his eyes, it could be seen that this guy did not want to hook up with the Earl of White Mountain.
He only spent the money because of his relationship. He really saw the talent of "Booty Cove".
Lao Huo never refuses investment.
He assured Lord Murphy that the casino could absorb foreign funds for local construction. Don’t you think this is a lot of gold coins coming to the door?
The two had a pleasant discussion and quickly agreed on the amount, but when it came to the payment method, Lao Huo refused gold coins or supplies.
"I heard there are a lot of serfs in Nordtov?"
It's quite funny. Yingying said to the businessman in front of her:
“You can pay with serfs!
You see, Transia is in dire straits right now and we need a lot of manpower. If you can send us honest and reliable serfs to work for us, not only will we be very grateful, but the local governor will even reward you."
"serf?"
The Yankee businessman hesitated and said:
"All serfs have masters, and those stubborn landowners will not give up their slaves so easily, but if you only want people, I can think of a way.
All the good farms in the Kafhoka Great Plains have been carved up, and a large number of farmers have lost their land and become homeless. The Winter Wolf Legion will not care about their life and death, and letting them wander around is a hidden danger.
My brother happens to be a manager of the Kafhoka area. He is currently having a headache due to the homeless people in the territory. Once winter comes, it will be difficult for these guys to survive.
I just don’t know, how many landless farmers can you accept here? Do you want more vulnerable women and children? If you accept taking care of your family, then the recruitment work will be much smoother."
