Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 207 Takeover
In this way, Xia Feng became one of Rich's generals in the simplest and rudest way.

As the saying goes, you have to eat a meal one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step on the road. If you are impatient, you can't eat hot tofu.

But Xia Feng obviously doesn't have the spare time to grind tofu, he understands the reason, but in his eyes, Rich is not a top-notch dish, at most it is an appetizer.

The next morning, Xia Feng appeared on the fifth floor of the casino.

According to the agreement, Reddy, Rich's right-hand man, will take him to familiarize himself with the casino business today.

Reddy's race is Li Boli, that is, a googu beast like Hemo and the second uncle. It can be seen that although Reddy's external identity is only an assistant, in fact he is basically Richie's stand-in.

He is responsible for all the industries of the Freedo Chamber of Commerce in Harpi City, including the cooperation with the Liye family's light manganese mine.

At the dinner table yesterday, Rich mentioned that there has been a change in the light manganese mine cooperation with the Liye family recently. Xia Feng guessed that this should be related to the chemical plant that he bombed Tangde. The third plant has not yet been built, which is less One, the output of finished light manganese ore must be greatly reduced.

The smuggling of light manganese ore is like a big river. In order to gain benefits from the river, all the forces expend manpower and energy to maintain the river bed. When preparing to harvest, everyone is waiting for the fish to be hooked by the river with fishing rods. At this time, the water is suddenly blocked. Broken, what do you say?
From transportation to storage and finally to export, the entire chain is now in a standby state because the source is cut off, and people can’t do it. At this time, there will be a lot of things to change, such as when the water flow will resume, and whether personnel need to be adjusted. , whether to increase the price to reduce losses and so on.

Of course, the business about light manganese ore has nothing to do with Xia Feng at present, although the current situation is all thanks to him.

In an independent office on the fifth floor of the casino, Reddy explained to him the operation mode of the casino in detail.

This is very simple, and it is similar to what Xia Feng expected before. A casino of this scale does not rely on tricks such as cheating. , Once discovered, it will basically disappear from the world.

Paying attention to rules and reputation is the basis for a casino to make money. From slot machines that cost a few cents to tens of millions of players participating in a game, as a banker’s casino, it will always only make money but not lose money. Xia Feng doesn't really understand the specific rules, but he knows that it involves a problem of probability.

Just like flipping a coin, the probability of heads and tails is 50% each. If you toss 10 times in a row, there will be many possibilities for the result, such as 5 heads and 5 tails, 6 heads and 4 tails, 7 heads and 8 heads, or even 10 tails or 10 heads. It's all possible, but as you roll infinitely, the number of heads and tails will become more and more balanced, eventually reaching a perfect 50%.

In the eyes of gamblers, they see variables, but from the standpoint of casinos, what they need to create is the definite number in the variables.

The smaller the probability of winning, the greater the profit, and vice versa, but the casino will never let this probability exceed 50%.

For example, a person wins 200 yuan in a casino with 20 chips. This is possible, but the casino will not close down because of the 20 loss. In other words, as long as there are people who continue to play, the probability will return to the casino's default as the number of times increases infinitely.

It sounds ironic, but casinos who are bookmakers do not choose to gamble. As long as someone plays, they will always only make money but not lose money.

After listening to Reddy's explanation, Xia Feng almost fell asleep. His mother taught him not to gamble since he was a child, so he was not interested in these things at all.

A separate department is responsible for the calculation of probability and the introduction of new gameplay, while dealers, props, chips, drinks, waiters and waiters are all handled by the general department of the casino, in addition to finance and security.

These things sound complicated, but they are also very simple when you think about it, just like opening a barbecue restaurant.

As long as the staff is sufficient and the division of labor is clear, after all arrangements are made, you only need to lie down and collect the money. Some people are obviously not the boss, but they worry more than the boss, and some people are the boss, but the work is more tiring than the employees. This is wrong.

Xia Feng felt that no matter whether he was the boss or not, since Rich said that the casino was responsible for him, he would be the most relaxed boss.

After Reddy basically introduced the operation of the casino, it was almost noon. Before lunch, Xia Feng still had one last thing to know, which was also what he was most concerned about.

How much money can the casino make, or in other words, how much benefit can he get from it.

To be honest, although the casino in Harpi City is the largest casino in the city, its scale is not very shocking, but the interior decoration is relatively luxurious. As we all know, casinos rely on traffic and local economy, such as some tourist cities or special economic zones. A medium-sized city like Harpi City, how should I put it, is just so-so.

After reading the accounts for the past few months, Xia Feng felt that it was similar to what he had guessed.

The monthly gross income of the casino is basically around 400-800 million. Of course, this is just the money entered into the account, except for some special gambling games, and this income must be subtracted from the wages of the casino employees and the share of each supervisor, because it belongs to Foley For the industries of many chambers of commerce, the headquarters in Notting City will also take 20%, and the rest will go to Rich.

Now the casino is fully in charge of Xia Feng, and the treatment that Rich gives is 3% of the net income after deducting all expenses. That is to say, if the casino can bring Rich a net income of 1000 million a year, then Xia Feng will have The 300 million share, of course, is without any mistakes.

To be honest, Xia Feng doesn't understand these things very well, but regarding the sharing of Rich, he must follow the rules. Xia Feng doesn't need to doubt this. What he cares about now is that this is a bit different from the plan he envisioned, and it has nothing to do with money. .

At noon, Reddy took Xia Feng to have a meal with a group of guys in suits and leather shoes with potbellies.

After introduction, these people are all local officials of Harpi City, and they have some relationship with the casino business.

Xia Feng obviously had no interest in these guys, except for the chief of the security bureau and the mayor's secretary, he didn't remember the names of others.

Back in the casino office in the afternoon, Reddy gave him two things.

An envelope, a car key.

"This is the red envelope given to you by Boss Rich. There are 20 in it, and this car is temporarily open for you."

Seeing Qian Xiafeng was immediately happy.

"Hey, get the money before you do the work, Boss Rich is so kind."

Reddy patted Xia Feng on the shoulder.

"Work hard, there will be more opportunities to make money in the future."
