money trouble

Chapter 575 A new round of shuffling?
Wu Qian thought that Zhang Yizhe was helping a friend as a lobbyist, and Jiang Boda also thought that Zhang Yizhe was trying to help him out, but both of them were wrong, they only saw the superficial phenomenon.

That was just Zhang Yizhe's high-sounding excuse when he contacted Wu Qian. He didn't have the spare time to help Jiang Boda get ahead. It's okay to pretend, but it's impossible to say that it's real.

"That's what you said..." Zhang Yizhe put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "It seems that I regard Mr. Wu as a friend, but Mr. Wu does not regard me as a friend."

Wu Qian didn't expect the other party's words to be so sharp, he waved his hand and said, "When you meet new friends, don't forget old friends."

Zhang Yizhe smiled and said: "A person will go through many levels in his life, and at each level, he will meet a group of friends. When his own level rises, but the friends at that level did not keep up with the steps to rise to a new level , I can’t take old friends with me.”

"I really hope to meet new friends like Mr. Wu who are powerful and create wealth together. Isn't Mr. Wu interested?"

The friends Zhang Yizhe refers to are business partners.

Wu Qian knew little about Zhang Yizhe, he didn't know what kind of medicine the other party sold in his gourd, and was about to reject the other party's "kindness", but Zhang Yizhe bullied him into his ear and said solemnly.

"Austria's gaming industry has been reshuffled. Are you interested in getting a gaming license together?"

This is Zhang Yizhe's ultimate goal in finding Wu Qian. He wants to find someone to cooperate with, get a gaming license together, and then make a big splash in Okushima!
The gaming industry in Oshima has a long history. It can be traced back to 1847. After more than 100 years of development, it has become one of the largest casinos in the world.

The well-developed gaming industry has created massive wealth for the city. In the latest global per capita GDP ranking of cities, Okushima ranks second, second only to Luxembourg, with excellent medical, education, pension and other welfare benefits.

Last year, the total GDP of Austria Island was more than 3000 billion yuan, of which the gaming industry accounted for 50.00%, which is very impressive.

Not only that, but a large part of the credit for the prosperity of the hotel and tourism industries is also attributed to the gaming industry.

Let me ask, who wouldn't want a piece of the cake in such a big market?
It's a pity that the gaming industry in Otto Island is very stable, extremely stable. In the past few decades, there have been only a few changes in the situation, from the beginning of a monopoly, to the subsequent three-legged rivalry, and then six contending for supremacy.

Today, the gaming industry in Austria Island is about to usher in the fourth change. The news Zhang Yizhe told Wu Qian is not so-called gossip. Anyone who has followed the gaming industry in Austria Island will know it.

Zhang Yizhe really wants to seize this opportunity, take advantage of the momentum, open casinos, hotels, resorts and other projects, and realize one-stop gaming and tourism.

If you want to open a legal casino on Ou Island, you need a license issued by the government, and the price of such a license was as high as one billion US dollars more than ten years ago!
It is hard to imagine what kind of price it will reach today, there is no doubt that it is absolutely a sky-high price.

Owning a license is just a permit, and you need money to open a hotel, open a casino, hire people, etc., before you can start operating.

Making money is definitely making money, but the threshold is very high, the initial investment is extremely huge, and you need to have very strong personal connections.

Of course Wu Qian knew that the gaming industry was very profitable. The Italian Lapo Elkann made tens of millions of euros through a wave of black-box operations, not counting the profits of the gaming companies.

But he is not very interested in this industry, or in other words, he is not very interested in working with Zhang Yizhe.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm not interested in the cooperation you mentioned, sorry."

Wu Qian bluntly rejected Zhang Yizhe's proposal.

The huge 4D screen flashed, indicating that the next piece of music was about to start. Zhang Yizhe glanced at Wu Qian with a slightly surprised expression. He didn't expect to be rejected so thoroughly.

Can massive wealth not be seen?I'm afraid Wu Qian doesn't understand what a casino license means...

He has some connections, but funds are his shortcoming. Zhang Yizhe is rich, but obviously not rich enough. Now he desperately needs a strong partner to enter this golden pit together!

Zhang Yizhe roughly estimated that if he wanted to take a place in the new round of reshuffle in Okushima, he would need at least 20 billion US dollars to compete for a gaming license. This is the most conservative estimate.

With a gaming license, you can proceed to the next steps. At that time, you can find a bank loan or a trust agency, but the premise is to be able to get a gaming license!
The conversation was not speculative, the music played, and there was no way to continue chatting any more. Zhang Yizhe put down a business card with a smile, shook hands with Wu Qian, and opened his mouth, probably saying, let's chat next time.

Then, Zhang Yizhe left booth 001.

Wu Qian watched Zhang Yizhe leave, watched him wave his hand and distributed the wine on the deck to the people dancing around, and watched Jiang Boda follow Zhang Yizhe out of the bar with a confused expression.

Wu Qian had a very strange feeling. Although he rejected Zhang Yizhe, he didn't know why, but he was really thinking about the "Okushima shuffle" in his mind.

"Could it be that I encountered the plot in "Inception"? Did Zhang Yizhe plant a seed of thought in my mind?"

Wu Qian thought about it, and found that he was not as resistant to the gaming industry as he was in Europe, and more because he didn't want to cooperate with Zhang Yizhe...

"Have a good time, something will happen after a while, something will happen after a while, and it won't stop!"

Wu Qian shook his head with a smile, let go of his thoughts, turned his head to look at the friends in the booth, changed his mood, and participated in the game.

At 02:30 in the morning, Wu Qian lay down on the couch of Aman Yangyun. He was the only one, and he didn't enjoy the loli feast that Zou Tianyang prepared for him. The dishes were too hard to eat.

While Wu Qian was sleeping, members of the special investigation team from several countries had secretly infiltrated Suo, and launched an investigation into the assassination incident in front of the Louvre.

The next day, Wu Qian slept until noon before waking up.

"Disco dancing is really tiring, this kind of activity is not suitable for me..."

Wu Qian drank a cup of coffee, ate some simple breakfast, and said to Rosalind, "Rosalind, Ou Island has recently reshuffled the gaming industry, and it seems that it will re-issue gaming licenses." , help me understand the news in this regard."

After waking up, Wu Qian decided to pay attention to the situation of the gaming industry in Otto Island.

Although he is not interested in operating casinos, it does not prevent him from investing in a gaming license. Supporting local economic development is an unavoidable duty for us.
