Indulge in Life in America

?"When I came, it was a dream to see the endless stream of du passengers stepping off the bus and entering du field?"

　　 Yang Cheng’s surprise was not surprising. When he came, he did see a crowded ‘Fortune Bus’. The entrance of the Taj Casino was full of people, a bustling scene, and there was no sign of bankruptcy.

The half of Ivan’s calf exposed outside the skirt suddenly curled up. He sat cross-legged and rubbed the tousled blond hair. “All you see is the back light of Atlantic City. I came to Atlantic City a few days ago. I have specially allocated US$2 million for publicity subsidies, and try to attract du customers with cash as much as possible. When this wave of heat passes, I will start negotiations with the employee union and the insurance company."

　　 "So serious?" Yang Cheng still couldn't believe it.

Although he had long heard of Atlantic City, one of the four major du cities in the United States, it actually came to an end as early as 2006. In addition, in recent years, many blogging industries have emerged around Atlantic City such as New York and Pennsylvania. The "competitors" of the United States have made Atlantic City, which is dominated by the gaming industry as its main economic pillar, collapsed, and lost its infinite and treacherous image in past Japanese and American dramas or movies.

　　 But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. There are always people who don’t want to be in the city where they live. Besides, Atlantic City has pension services and the support of Congress. How can you not go bankrupt if you have no money?

　　 Ivan’s words gave him a reasonable explanation, “As you don’t know, in December last year, Bogotá du Field asked for a $62 billion rebate in Atlantic City’s ZF tax. This request was also supported by the local tax court.

　　 But after the deadline passed, the mayor said that ZF will not take and cannot take the money. If du field insists, Atlantic City can only choose the fate of bankruptcy. "

After listening, Yang Cheng sighed. Atlantic City is not the first city that intends to file for bankruptcy protection, nor is it the first American city to go bankrupt. As early as 2013, Detroit, a major American automobile town, declared bankruptcy, becoming the largest in the United States. The city bankruptcy case was a sensation, and earlier in 2012, the three cities of Stockton, San Bernardino and Mammoth Lakes in California also declared bankruptcy due to debt problems.

　　 The reason why Atlantic City ZF officials considered applying for bankruptcy protection, according to Ivan’s words, the "relentlessness" of New Jersey Governor Christie became the last straw that crushed their hope that ZF would help.

　　 "In fact, just a few days before you came, Christie officially rejected the aid package aimed at making up Atlantic City's $33.5 million budget.

The plan requires casinos in Atlantic City to replace 15-year taxes with fixed payments, and use the investment tax and promotion costs of the casinos to repay the city’s debt. If this plan can be passed smoothly, it will greatly ease Atlantic City’s stretched cash flow. Otherwise, in just a few months, Atlantic City's cash flow will dry up.

Originally, this plan was proposed as early as last year, and it has been recognized by relevant people in the demonstration stage. The state ZF has given a very inclination to make the Atlantic City officials mistakenly believe that the plan will be recognized. , Has been preparing to implement.

However, Governor Christie has waited until now to give a clear answer. It is only a clear refusal. This has caused the efforts of many officials in the city to fail. Many officials even pointed the finger at Christie, thinking that his inaction caused the Atlantic Ocean. The city eventually went bankrupt, and he should pay full responsibility. "

　　 Yang Cheng couldn't help but guess, "Is this Christie deliberate?"

Ivan put his hands on his knees, his chin resting on his thighs, and the little woman pouted like a little woman, "I don’t know, but I heard my father say that Christie is busy with the elections within the party and intends to compete for the next throne of Xuan. I guess Christie His mind was not put on handling government affairs at all.

In this regard, he also gave an explanation. In Christie’s words, he has given Atlantic City five years and two ZF sessions to deal with structural budget issues and growing expenditures. However, he did not see one. Very satisfied with the results, so he will not ask taxpayers to continue to support this waste of money and energy. "

Yang Cheng really felt that Atlantic City’s decline was a pity, and mocked, “One of the solutions to avoid Atlantic City’s bankruptcy is for Atlantic City to hand over some important rights, such as the sale of land or assets in the city, to ZF, New Jersey. The latter is in charge of Atlantic City's financial situation, and this practice of asking for money from the superior ZF at every turn is really unpleasant.

However, I guess that the officials in the city may be extremely disgusted with the fate of being taken over. This group of people is not strong, but they emphasize the autonomy rights granted by the U.S. Constitution all the time. It feels ridiculous to think about it, and the blood is almost drained and is still considering today. It's not pretty. "

　　 Ivan was amused by Yang Cheng's complaints, slapped him, and then propped his chin again, "In my opinion, the decline of Atlantic City is a microcosm of the disappearance of most American cities in recent years.

In the past 2006 to 2014, the revenue of du field in Atlantic City fell from a peak of US$5.2 billion to US$2.5 billion. In less than 10 years, the decline was more than half, and the revenue was no longer. This directly caused Atlantic City and the gaming industry. Nearly 8,000 related jobs have disappeared. Many people who rely on the du field for their livelihoods feel betrayed. You must know that at the beginning of the du field, they promised to provide stable, high-paying jobs.

But in 2014 alone, 4 of the 12 casinos in Atlantic City have been closed, and the profit of the gaming industry has also fallen by 8%. Among them, the most exaggerated is Taj’s opponent, who spent up to 2.4 billion US dollars to build Le Due to a record of two years of construction and zero profit, Weidu Field was forced to close in September of that year. This was also the biggest failure of the United States Du Field.

Not only Atlantic City, this experience is unique. Nevada, which started with the blog industry, has also encountered the same bleak scene. Since 2008, Nevada's blog industry has suffered losses year after year. In 2009, it lost US$6.8 billion. At its peak, last year, the state’s Bocai industry still lost $662 million.

However, Nevada has developed in an all-round way with Bocai as the mainstay. The contribution of its tourism industry has allowed various du stores to find ways to make up for losses and even generate additional profits. The total revenue of more than 270 casinos across the state reached 246 last year. Billion U.S. dollars, a significant improvement from the 2010 revenue of 21 billion U.S. dollars. "

　　 Yang Cheng understands Ivan’s words, “du games have increased revenue, but the blog industry has been losing money year after year. I think the root cause is that tourists are generous in restaurants, pubs and watching performances, but they spend less money on real blogs.

Especially with the arrival of a large number of Asian tourists, many people are not willing to spend money on gambling. They just want to be fresh and see the style of du city. Therefore, the business loss of Bocai itself is unavoidable, but if it combines real estate, tourism, and pension Many themes such as vacation, vacation, etc., actually still have room for redemption.

　　 To be honest, if I have sufficient funds, it might be possible to come forward and rebuild the entire Atlantic City to rebuild a paradise in the eastern United States. "

　　 Ivan’s eyes lit up. If Yang Cheng is willing to take over, she is willing to continue to lose money without declaring bankruptcy, because Yang Cheng has the ability to turn fantasy into reality.

Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and turned his head, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not crazy yet. To transform a city, even Atlantic City, a small city with an area of ​​less than 45 square kilometers, requires a lot of money. The sky-high price, not to mention the fact that Yuanshan has reached the stage of saturation after successive acquisitions of Delta Airlines and the construction of the world’s tallest building, and there is no spare money to help Atlantic City."

　　 Ivan was a little disappointed, but he immediately returned to an elegant smile. This was a reasonable answer. The expectation he had for Yang Cheng just now was nothing but a hope.

　　 sighed, "It doesn't matter, Taj du Stadium has gone through more than 20 years of wind and rain, and it's time to say goodbye."

　　 Yang Cheng was silent for a while, not knowing how to answer the conversation, so she had to say, "Sorry, I couldn't help you."

　　 Ivan shook his head with a smile, "Don't say that, then now, I will ask Pent to return the person to you, I hope he has not done anything radical."

　　 Yang Cheng smiled and shrugged, "If it weren't for the woman I brought with me, I wouldn't care about it at all. It doesn't matter whether I live or die."

The two talked and got up, Ivan went to call, and Yang Cheng came to the window and looked down on Atlantic City’s prosperous oceanfront boulevard, as if seeing the once giant had to sit in a wheelchair because of his injuries. Lonely.

As Ivan said, besides the use of means to attract a group of Taj guests, there are several nearby shops in front of the door of the nearby beaches~www.wuxiaspot.com~ No wonder there were not a few cars on the road when I came here. The car.

　　 Looking far away, the blue water envelops a golden beach. The beach is empty and very lonely. The sporadic head and sea staff are handling the garbage on the beach, and they can't tell that they are working at a slow pace.

After Ivan finished the call, she had put on high heels again. She was a few centimeters taller than Yang Cheng. She stood in front of the window with her shoulders. "Speaking of which, the Taj du Stadium is just one of the three du venues my father built. First, it was originally used for financing, but it was retained by a joke I made when I was a child, and now I have no ability to continue it."

　　 Yang Cheng did not turn his head, still staring at the still moving seaside scenery outside the window, but the topic jumped directly from the du field to his father's election, "Christie is a very powerful opponent of your father."

Ivan was taken aback, understood the deep meaning of Yang Cheng’s words, and smiled, "Indeed, maybe the bankruptcy of Atlantic City will become a huge weakness for Christie, by the way, thank you for making a fortune for me. If possible, I hope that the principal and profit can be transferred out."

She was referring to the 200 million U.S. dollars invested in 4D space at the end of last year, which was raging in Switzerland along with a large amount of funds. The net profit of 4D space was eliminated, and the net profit was 40 million U.S. dollars. Now to raise it, Yang Cheng hesitated and nodded. Agree, he knows, this is also Ivan who is drawing a line with himself, and the big xuan is about to begin. Anything that can become a handle for other people's attacks must be eliminated in advance.
