Reborn Dubai As A Prince

007. Universal Gambling

John Singer's words were actually spoken on behalf of the gambling king. Without the chairman's instruction, a manager of him would not dare to comment on the group's economic difficulties. It also proves that Adelson intends to deepen the alliance with his partners.

Singer was in charge of sending the message: "Mr. Adelson said that if His Royal Highness is free, he very much hopes to meet with you to discuss more cooperation issues in the future.

Sahil was full of thoughts on how to take advantage, and said cheerfully: "It's just around here, you can contact my assistant, he will arrange the itinerary.

"I'll take care of it for you." Singer's task has been completed, and the party in the back has become a flashy place for luxury and money, and the financial crisis has not let the rich lose their enjoyment.

It's just that the crisis has clearly killed many rich people. On the global billionaire list next year, the overall wealth will definitely shrink. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett

The Walton family will lose tens of billions.

But looking at the whole of North America, it is not them who have suffered the most serious losses, but Sahil's partner, the gambling king Adelson. Up to now, the shares of Adelson's Sands Group have been falling, and the country has paid hundreds of dollars. One hundred million U.S. dollars.

The cold winter of crisis has enveloped the entire United States. The tourism industry in Las Vegas has encountered unprecedented challenges. At the critical moment, the Sands Corporation is still building a new casino. It is conceivable that the business can only be bleak in this environment.

The media of later generations used to describe Las Vegas in 2008 as "reduced to an empty city". The Sands Group and its chairman, Adelson, will face a 90% decline in wealth, with a loss of more than 25 billion US dollars.

Adelson spent 40 years of accumulated wealth, but fell from the peak to the bottom in just one year. You can imagine the pressure he is facing now: banks do not lend, investors do not favor, and funds are stretched.

He urgently needs external assistance now, but nowadays everyone is too busy to take care of themselves. Even if they have money, they will not invest in the gaming and tourism industry that has been rated as "ultra-high risk".

The outside world thinks that it will be difficult for Sands Group to survive this hurdle, and if it falls further, it will face bankruptcy. However, in later generations, Adelson survived the trough period, and returned to the peak in just two years.

A few years later, he surpassed his own record and was worth nearly $30 billion—just like the industry he was in, this guy literally took his own life in his pocket.

So others dare not bet, but Sahil definitely dares to partner with the gambling king.

Just as the so-called wealth insurance seeks, gambling, the oldest pleasure of mankind, is deeply buried in the blood. The financial crisis is only suppressed temporarily, and it will erupt one day sooner or later.

Cody Braga, gaming and entertainment manager of Dubai Holding, arrived first.

He is a senior manager appointed by the prince to manage the global gaming for himself. In the future, he will be in charge of projects in West Asia, Southeast Asia, and Las Vegas, helping Sahil become a low-key gambling king.

Because of his Arab identity, the influence of the prince's reputation as a gambling king is not good. Braga's role is to play down it and take care of all gambling-related businesses for him.

Now he brought the latest news: "Mr. Adelson's plane is ready to arrive, and he has specially arranged a meeting place for you."

Sahil listened to what he said mysteriously, curious: "Where is it?"

The meeting place was ingenious, not at the Sands Hotel, but a luxury cruise ship berthed in Singapore. It is 300 meters long, 50 meters high, and drains 80,000 tons, which is extremely spectacular.

Braga introduced: "The gambling ship project was an in-depth cooperation between you and Gambling King. You invested a total of 1.12 billion US dollars. In other words, you are also one of the shareholders and the major shareholder of this luxury cruise ship."

"The gambling boat I invested in?" Sahil became more interested in knowing.

Because no matter how good someone else's stuff is, it's still someone else's, so I can only salivate and envy it, but if it's my own, it's different. The more successful it is, the more psychological satisfaction it will have.

"Mr. Adelson cleverly chose to cooperate with an international cruise company to contract VIP gaming services, so he didn't waste all his funds on investing in cruise ships, and let our funds be used to the maximum."

Sahil knew that a luxury cruise ship would cost five to six billion yuan at every turn, and the cost was too high to bear, so they shared it for cooperation, allowing them to own a total of 15 cooperative gambling ships around the world.

Braga also said: "This initiative allows us to avoid the restrictions of foreign investment, but also allows high-end gaming operations to spread all over the world, with casinos operating every hour of the day and cash flowing."

"Makes me want to see what it looks like on top."

"You will not be disappointed."

After the Bentley carrying the prince and his girlfriend stopped, Braga led them through the VIP passage, avoiding people and cumbersome checks, and took the elevator directly to the middle deck of the cruise ship

The moment your feet set foot on the deck [the sense of luxury hits you head-on.

The captain led a row of crew members to wait, and men and women performed different court etiquettes on him. There were also crew members who were proficient in Arabic and English, and were responsible for his butler work.

Wearing a tuxedo, the butler, whom ordinary people can only see on TV, said respectfully, "Your Highness, would you like to go back to the guest room or visit the public area first?"

"Let's take a look first." Sahil is interested in luxury cruise ships, and the decoration of the public areas is completely different from the crowded cruise ships in his impression, quite a bit of the elegance of a yacht.

The furniture and carpets in the public areas are carefully selected and customized by well-known brands. Crystal lights are used in all areas. The library is full of artistic atmosphere. There are famous paintings on the walls, including authentic works of Picasso.

Relying on the huge space of the cruise ship, the designer also moved up a commercial street, with direct sunlight above the head, brick floors under the feet, green trees and pools around, and shops on the 71st floor of the hotel on both sides.

On the top deck of the cruise ship, there are more than three swimming pools, a unique surfing area, and even a miniature golf course.

Braga said: "This is a five-star luxury cruise ship. Unlike ordinary cruise ships, it does not accommodate as many guests as possible. It does the opposite, focusing on high-end tourism, and the quality of every experience is very high."

Sahil also gave a good evaluation: "It feels a bit like a private yacht, but it shouldn't be the most popular route in Asia, right?"

Braga is a subordinate of the prince, so of course he doesn't care about the privacy of the ship's business: "There are still tourists from Asia, but they are not as good as the Caribbean and the Mediterranean Sea. The main income is high-end gaming."

"I know." Sahil has already guessed seven or eight points correctly. After all, Asia still has a lot of developing countries, and there is no consumption atmosphere like the Mediterranean.

However, its powerful and boundless gaming income has miraculously made up for the mediocre tourism industry... It has to be said that it is painful and happy.

After the visit, he returned to his presidential suite, which has an exclusive space of more than 400 square meters, exclusive sauna, spa room, a garden facing the sea, and even a separate massage pool. Be picky!

After admiring the scenery, the butler arrived: "Mr. Adelson has already boarded the ship. He asked you to meet at the VIP casino. What do you think, Your Highness?"

The prosperous gaming industry made him look forward to meeting: "Tell him I will be on time.".
