Chapter 157: Unable to Open the Door

"With 3,500 rooms, Flamingo is not only the first luxury hotel in Las Vegas, but also the most luxurious hotel in the world. It will soon become the focus of Las Vegas!" Mo Green Standing in front of the hotel, he introduced the situation of the hotel to Shen Long with pride.

Above the hotel, there is a pink flamingo sculpture, which contrasts with Mogreen's lover Virginia Hill in a pink coat; beside the hotel entrance, there is a garden with many flamingos , pink flamingos take a leisurely walk in the garden.

In the pool at the back of the hotel, there is actually a group of koi. According to Mo Gelin, this was arranged by a Feng Shui master from Chinatown, who said it could bring a steady stream of financial resources to the hotel.

Entering the inside, there are not only luxuriously decorated hotel rooms, restaurants with international flavors where top chefs sit, and of course the indispensable casino in Las Vegas.

The slot machines are lined up vertically, with no end in sight at a glance; the huge roulette whirrs, and the ivory balls hit the grille to make a crisp sound; the croupiers shake the dice; On the tablecloth, poker cards are distributed from the dealer to the gamblers, and the waitresses in cool clothes are walking around in the crowd. From time to time, lucky gamblers stuff chips into their suspenders or In the ditch; the burly security guards are keenly watching everything that happens in the field from an unobtrusive corner.

"The damn air-conditioning problem is finally solved. You won't feel the heat of Las Vegas here. This is a paradise for gamblers all over the world!" Mogreen said with his arms open. Seeing his posture and tone, Shen Long always felt that what he said was, look, this is my country!

All this looks so beautiful, regardless of the size of the casino, the level of decoration, and the level of service, it is far better than all the casinos in Las Vegas and even the world, but if there are not so few gamblers who come to play It's even better.

Compared with the size of the casino, the number of gaming tables, croupiers, waiters and security guards, it seems that there are too few gamblers who come to gamble, and they don't have many chips in their hands.

"Mo, you are indeed a genius in casino construction." Shen Long shrugged, "But can you tell me why there are only so few people in the casino now?"

"Well, it's just a trial operation now, and it hasn't officially opened yet! It will be fine after the official opening. Flamingo is so good, those who love to gamble will definitely come here." Mo Gelin still seemed full of confidence.

"That's good, otherwise, if you go on like this, you won't be able to fulfill the profit we agreed on at the beginning!" Shen Long said lightly, he knew clearly that the Flamingo Hotel had been losing money for a few months after it opened. Losing hundreds of thousands of dollars every month, they had to temporarily close their business, and it didn't become popular until they reopened two years later.

In the new century, the Flamingo Hotel has become one of the destinations that tourists and gamblers from all over the world will definitely choose when they come to Las Vegas. The value of this hotel has also soared from the current US$6 million to US$100 billion .

Shen Long's words put a lot of pressure on Mo Gelin. In the movie, he dared to speak ill of Mike. Firstly, he had this temperament; secondly, the Flamingo Hotel had already achieved profitability. His cheapness; the third most important point is that after Santino's death, the Corleone family has been on the defensive, and its status in the American underworld has continued to decline.

And now, Shen Long has decisively killed the patriarchs and core forces of the four major families in New York, and completely wiped out the once invincible Basini family, Strazzi family, Cuneo family and Tattaglia family. Under Shen Long's leadership, he had more prestige than when the old godfather was in power. Mo Gelin naturally had to be a little more reserved when talking to such a big boss.

He has a rough personality and is not a fool, so he will not and dare not easily offend the man standing at the top of the American underground world, but he is full of confidence in this hotel that carries all his passions and dreams, "Frey Don’t worry, the hotel will definitely be profitable within three months at most!”

"That's good, Mo, I don't want to use the special terms in the contract." Shen Long reminded that there is still a gambling agreement between them. If the profit does not meet the requirements, Mo Gelin Shen Long's shares will be acquired by Shen Long, "This hotel has taken up too much funds from the Corleone family. At this time, it is not an easy task to allocate funds to acquire your shares."

Shen Long also showed some reluctance. In fact, it is the same for anyone. Seeing that this hotel is constantly losing money, how many people are willing to spend money to buy Mogreen's shares?

But in fact, Shen Long knew the prospects of this hotel, and he was confident that he would make this hotel better and better under his own control. He had already thought about the hype and promotion routine, and arranged the funds for the acquisition of Mogreen's shares , but these have to wait until the Flamingo Hotel is completely owned by itself.

Mo Gelin also felt the pressure. You must know that the funds he raised were not entirely his own, and a considerable part was embezzled from the public funds of his gang. It didn't happen until it was built. If Mogreen couldn't bring them enough profits, they would definitely find trouble with Mogreen.

In the next few days, after a large-scale publicity, the Flamingo Hotel officially opened to the public, but the situation did not seem to be as good as Mo Greene expected. The high-end decoration and consumption of the Flamingo Hotel discouraged many gamblers. There were not many people, and the hotel's air conditioner had to be turned on all the time, and so did the security guards and waiters.

Water, electricity, labor and other expenses weighed heavily on Mo Gelin, and after the first month was over, the Flamingo Hotel not only failed to make money, but also lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Shen Long pretended to be angry, while Mo Gelin's accomplices were really angry, but they all decided to give Mo Gelin some more time.

Three months have passed, and the hotel still hasn't made a profit. The total loss in the three months has reached more than one million US dollars. Now Mogreen's accomplices can no longer support it.

They sent a representative to find Shen Long, "Dear Don Corleone, do you still plan to acquire the shares held by Mo Green?"

Here's your chance to take full ownership of the most luxurious and biggest casino in Las Vegas. ...
