The hotel owner was also a little confused when he heard the manager's words: "What? Someone wants to buy our hotel? Did you hear that correctly?"
"Absolutely! Those people are standing in the lobby right now!" the manager replied.
"Where did these people come from? What are their identities?"
"They just wanted to see you, so we didn't dare ask too many questions," the hotel manager replied. "But they look pretty tough, so they might be gangsters."
In the Inglewood area, the Black Rabbit Gang is the only dominant gang left.
The hotel owner thought, since he paid enough protection fees every day, the Black Rabbit Gang wouldn't come to cause trouble! Could it be that the Black Rabbit Gang really wanted to buy the hotel?
No matter what, when doing business in the Inglewood district, you should never mess with the Black Rabbit Gang.
The hotel owner immediately said into the phone, "Okay! Hold them steady first, I'll be there soon!"
About twenty minutes later, the hotel owner came into the lobby wearing a plaid suit and smiling.
He immediately went to shake hands with the leading butcher and said, "Hello, sir. What can I do for you?"
Seeing the boss's good attitude, the butcher didn't make things difficult for him. He said calmly, "It's nothing serious. I just like your hotel. How much is it? Name your price!"
The hotel owner asked cautiously, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I'm the butcher from the Black Rabbit Gang. You've heard of me, right?" the butcher said. "We're planning to open a casino, and we've taken a liking to your place. We're planning to buy it and renovate it."
The Black Rabbit Gang Butcher is also well-known in the Inglewood area.
The boss also knew that he would definitely not be able to keep his hotel, and now he could only hope to sell it for a good price.
He started to speak tentatively, "I spent $3 million on renovating this hotel. Now I can earn at least a hundred or two hundred thousand dollars a month..."
"Alright! Just tell me how much it is! It's not like our Black Rabbit Gang can't afford it!"
"Then... then 5 million dollars?" the hotel owner asked uncertainly, "Is that okay?"
Ahem! The butcher coughed dryly twice, then put his arm around the hotel owner's shoulder and said, "How about this! I see your hotel is doing well. When we open a casino in the future, we'll definitely need supporting hotel services. Are you interested in working with us to make money together?"
Being able to join the Black Rabbit Gang is like getting a talisman in the Inglewood area, so the boss is naturally willing.
He immediately agreed: "Okay! No problem, of course I'm willing to cooperate!"
"Okay, great!"
The butcher patted the boss on the shoulder and said, "Then we'll be partners from now on! We have to give partners a discount! How about a 50% discount, $2.5 million?"
This sentence was cut in half, and the boss was naturally unwilling to do so. He stammered back, "This... this is not good..."
"Oh, what's wrong with that? It's settled!" the butcher said. "Don't worry, boss. I won't treat you unfairly. When I open a casino in the future, I'll definitely let you be the manager!"
The hotel owner also knew that he had no right to refuse.
Having 2.5 million dollars now is already pretty good. If you anger this lame butcher, not only will you not get the money, you will also lose your life.
After the location was determined, a few days later, a wall was erected around the hotel and renovation work began.
Reeves also spent millions of dollars to deal with the Illinois Gaming Commission. Add to that the casino renovation costs, and the Black Rabbit Gang's entire month's income was basically gone.
But there are benefits to spending money, and everything is going smoothly.
A month later, the renovation of the Black Rabbit Casino was completed and the business license was obtained.
The decoration of the casino must be luxurious. Only by being in a magnificent environment full of money can gamblers temporarily forget the value of the money in their hands. Thus, they will spend lavishly and exchange their hard-earned money for small plastic cards and throw them into the casino.
Therefore, the decoration style of the Black Rabbit Casino can be summed up in three words: gold!
At the door, the four golden characters "Black Rabbit Casino" shine brightly.
In the nearly 2,000-square-meter casino hall, a golden tree more than ten meters high stands in the center.
There are slot machines, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Texas Hold'em and other gambling tables around.
There are dozens of VIP rooms surrounding the hall, which are specially used to serve big bosses.
There is a hotel upstairs from the casino. When you are tired of playing, you can go upstairs and sleep directly. It provides all the necessary one-stop services.
On the opening day, the Black Rabbit Casino lobby was packed with people, including Branch Chief Duke, and almost all the key figures in the Inglewood district came to show their support.
Ribbs also arrived with his two sisters, Keshia and Gina.
Ribs was wearing a handsome tuxedo, and the two sisters were wearing exquisite long dresses. The three of them were no longer dressed in street style, but looked like wealthy ladies.
Ribbs walked to the center stage and said into the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen!"
The bustling crowd suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on Ribs.
"First of all, on behalf of Black Rabbit Casino, I'd like to welcome everyone to our Black Rabbit Casino! We, Black Rabbit Casino, will provide you with a unique entertainment experience with professional capabilities and thoughtful service! At the same time, as the first casino in Inglewood, we will also shoulder our social responsibility and contribute to Inglewood!"
"Good! Good!" Cheers and applause were heard in the hall.
"Today is our first day of opening, and all guests who come can get $1,000 in chips for free! I hope everyone has fun and has a blast!"
“Woooo!!”
The crowd in the audience suddenly cheered excitedly, and soon most people sat down at the gambling table and started playing.
In the hall, girls serving drinks and food were walking back and forth, creating a prosperous scene.
Reeves was greeting the guests with champagne when he heard Blair's voice: "Hey! Reeves, come here! I want to introduce someone to you!"
When Reeves walked over, he saw a short middle-aged man standing next to Blair.
Blair extended his hand and introduced, "This is Mr. Theodore! He's the director of the Illinois Gaming Commission. The approval of our casino this time depends entirely on him!"
Ribbs immediately raised his glass and stepped forward, saying enthusiastically, "Oh! Nice to meet you, Mr. Theodore!"
Theodore nudged Reeves with a contemptuous expression and said, "Your casino is quite large! It looks like you'll be making a lot of money in the future!"
"Hey! This is all thanks to you! Without your approval, how could I make money!" Reeves said modestly.
"Well, you're quite sensible!" Theodore asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "So how many shares are you going to give me?"
After hearing this, Ribs was stunned.
Before, he had never agreed to give shares to the gaming manager.
Reeves has spent millions of dollars to approve the casino permit.
Now I have to give you shares?
Isn’t that bullying honest people?
