Chapter 791 Capital Hunting on Jeju Island

Chapter 791 Capital Hunting on Jeju Island

Chen Xi sat on the sofa watching the news and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: After this rebirth, how come Malaysia Airlines is still missing?
This matter had caused a lot of controversy in China, and it would be mentioned again on the Internet every once in a while. Either the country had started searching again, or the wreckage was found somewhere.

Opening his phone and looking at a photo sent via QQ, Chen Xi sneered.

The photo was sent by Zhang Xuan. It was a photo of Chen Yifeng holding a child. You could see how happy he was smiling at the moment.

There was also a message attached under the photo, which read: Chen Xi, you have a new sister!

Zhang Xuan's words were full of pride.

Chen Xi also sent a message back: Did you take the wrong child? I suggest you check the paternity test. In the Chen family tree, eight generations ago, even female mosquitoes only gave birth to males. Hospital management is not very strict nowadays, and nurses often take the wrong child. Oh, right. I remember that in TV dramas, there are often plots where poor people swap their own children with rich people's children. This trick seems to be called... a cat for a prince! Remember to record it and study it repeatedly!

Zhang Xuan on the other side of the screen was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Her eyes were fierce as she typed a bunch of curse words on her phone. She was so excited that she even broke her freshly done manicure.

Looking at the dirty words on the phone, Chen Xi only replied with a grimace emoticon. This time, he was afraid that he would break the other party's defense.

Exit QQ and open the web page. All websites are full of movie promotional ads. The White-Haired Witch and The Treasure Notes have already started pre-promotion. As this year's popular movies, there is a private bet, and both sides have put out their own resources to start the competition.

Of course, both movies feature big-name stars, so naturally fans split into camps and began to attack each other online.

The side profile of Shui Ye was photoshopped to look like the surface of the moon, with the caption "Is this a filming with an investment of hundreds of millions?". The top comment below had a cartoon head of Peng Yuyan: "I suggest that this drama be renamed "White Hair and Hyaluronic Acid Legend"

Shui Ye's global fan club immediately counterattacked: Peng Yuyan's muscles have been trained to the point of brain stem? Our Shui Ye beats your male god in women's clothing without makeup, and the picture is a photo of Peng Yuyan at an event with a pink lace filter.

A marketing account took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: late at night, it released photos from the set of "Legend of the Condor Heroes", a screenshot of Peng Yuyan's double's side profile, and captioned "Real or fake Monkey King? And @Hu Ge's Weibo, your brother is a professional double!.

Hu Ge’s fans would quickly control the comments: Better than some people’s fake faces, fake breasts and fake butts, and then repost the original un-Photoshopped photo of Shui Ye walking on the red carpet.

My god, the forum exploded with dozens of posts in an instant: #Zhao Zhuozhuo acted like a big shot on the set and injured the martial arts director##Huang Daming had a night out with a mysterious girl#. An insider revealed that Shui Ye drinks human milk every day for maintenance, and was immediately exposed as the vice president of Peng Yuyan's fan club. Before the ratings were released, a full one-star negative review was given. A user used a magnifying glass to find out that the prop sword of "The White-Haired Witch" was the same model as on Taobao: Can a plastic sword that costs 9.9 yuan and free shipping be called a martial arts sword? Did some people embezzle all the money of the crew?
The Weibo battlefield is even more exciting. Someone replaced the close-up of Chen Guandong in the trailer of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" with the main character of some XX website. Others pointed out that Huang Daming's acting skills are too bad. Apart from the popularity of "New Magic Beach", he has no other TV series to show for it. Now he relies on variety shows to maintain his popularity.

At this time, a small star suddenly posted on Weibo: Shui Ye asked me to be a nude substitute, and the picture was a selfie in the hotel bathroom. For a while, many netizens posted thumbs-up emojis below.

However, this Weibo post was immediately deleted by the website.

"Oh my god, the movie hasn't even been released yet and there's already such a fuss. Who knows what kind of scene will turn out when the time comes!" Chen Xi kept shaking his head while holding his phone.

Some people launched a verbal battle against the Tianya Forum, and it was obvious that they were hired by Shuiye. The content of the post said that "Treasure Notes" was a Chinese version of a tomb-raiding movie imitating "Indiana Jones". Such outdated content like an old lady's foot binding cloth was actually made into a movie. Just like the games released by the Tianya Forum, there was no automatic combat. How can people play this?
Chen Xi sneered at the post and immediately commented on it with his own account: "It's so funny. Apart from those domestic web games and mobile games that are just for money, how many serious games in the world have automatic combat?" Do you know why? Because the players in the domestic servers are not here to play games, but to enjoy the pleasure of hanging up with one button. This is the same as the domestic movies and TV shows. Fast forward three minutes to watch a two-hour movie, and watch a 40-episode TV series at 12 times the speed.

Automatic battle? Oh, just like the fast-food literature nowadays, it is nothing more than catering to those impatient readers who can't even concentrate for five minutes. In the final analysis, it is just cultivating a group of impatient leeks. When they are used to the routine of one-click clearance, three chapters of climax, and five chapters of face-slapping, they will find that they can't even read a description of more than 500 words.

He thought for a moment, and added a murderous irony: With this level of aesthetics, are you qualified to comment on "The Treasure Notes"? I suggest you save yourself from the "three-minute movie" video first.

"Ding Dong!" At this time, the doorbell of the room suddenly rang.

He stood up and opened the door. Standing outside was a middle-aged man with ordinary looks and a short haircut, followed by two bodyguards.

"You are..." Chen Xi frowned as he looked at the stranger in front of him.

At this time, he was in Jeju Island in the country of Kimchi. Suddenly, three people he had never seen before came to visit him, which made him a little alert.

"I'm Yi Zhihui, and we're from the same hometown!" The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Xi.

Hearing this, Chen Xi immediately searched for this person's information in his memory.

Yi Zhihui, from Jianghuai, is Zheng Wanlong's elder brother and the richest man in Xinlu. This man lost tens of billions of yuan in the Australian area many years ago. He was the person who lost the most money in the Australian area at that time. There is basically no information about him on the Internet, as if it was deliberately erased. Boss Yi is very rich. He was ranked among the top in the country at that time. His strength is amazing. Although he has experienced a big trough now, he is alive again, and his partners are all celebrities.

Now he cannot return to China. He has upgraded from a player to a banker, and he is involved in the entertainment project in Jeju Island.

Chen Xi came this time as Parker's representative, and one of the people he met was Yi Zhihui.

"Hello, Mr. Yi. I heard your story in Xinlu!" Chen Xi made a gesture to invite him in. The man walked into the room, sat on the sofa with a smile and said, "Haha, that's all in the past. Let's not talk about it!"

Yi Zhihui is now a legend in Xinlu. When people talk about him, they will say: Awesome!

“I heard that Xinlu is developing very well now, but it’s a pity that I can’t go back. I guess there’s no hope of returning to China in this lifetime…” Yi Zhihui sighed after lighting a cigarette.

"Not bad. In fact, life abroad is pretty good too. There aren't so many restrictions. You can do whatever you want!" Chen Xi smiled.

"Ha, that's right. Prostitution and gambling are legal in foreign countries. You can do whatever you want. You are right!" Yi Zhihui nodded, looked at Chen Xi and said, "Parker asked you to come here for inspection. You have been here for two days. What do you think?"

"I visited all the casinos on Jeju Island these past two days, and also visited some tourist attractions."

"Tourist attractions? Where are the tourist attractions here? If there are any, it's just the sea view. In winter, the most you can do is enjoy the snow scenery."

Yi Zhihui frowned, not knowing what the young man in front of him was thinking. He wondered if Parker had found a fool.

"Yes, there are no tourist attractions here, so we need to develop it!"

"What do you mean? This is just a small island. It's extremely small and there are no famous places of interest here. Jeju Island was built for the purpose of opening an entertainment venue. Why are you thinking of developing a tourist attraction here? Isn't that going against the grain?" "Let me ask you a question." Seeing that he didn't understand yet, Chen Xi sighed softly.

"You said."

"There are casinos in Kimchi Country and in Jeju Island. Kimchi Country's casinos prohibit its citizens from entering, so where do they go to play?"

"Of course, we're going to the Australian area!" Yi Zhihui answered immediately without even thinking.

There are many Korean players in the Australian area, and they can stay there for a long time with their foreign identity. They can't enter the casinos in the Korean country, so they can only go to the Australian area, Australia, the United States and other places to play. However, the Australian area is the closest to them, so it has become their first choice.

"Well, let me ask you, where do Chinese people usually go to play in the casinos?"

“Of course it’s Australia and Southeast Asia.”

"So how is business on Jeju Island now?"

“Not so good!”

"why?"

“Because there are so few customers.”

"The purpose of establishing the Jeju Island Casino is to attract Chinese people to play there, but there must be a reason for the guests to travel, right? They go there every month, 365 days a year. How should they answer when the border inspection asks why they go there so many times?"

"Oh, I understand!" Yi Zhihui showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Now it's my turn to ask you something." Chen Xi took a sip of tea.

"You ask!" What Chen Xi just said has made Yi Zhihui change his original opinion of him. Now Chen Xi is very extraordinary in the eyes of Boss Yi.

"I think no matter how Jeju Island develops, it can't compare with Australia. Simply put, it can't make a lot of money. Why do you want to continue to expand here?"

"Hey, didn't Parker tell you?"

Yi Zhihui looked at Chen Xi with a smile, and the latter did not say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

"Online gambling has been around for many years, you should have heard of it. In the past, due to technical problems, online games did not develop very well, but in recent years, this thing has become bigger and bigger, and has impacted casinos around the world. This thing was first popular in Southeast Asia, but now there are more players in Europe and the United States. Why do players choose online? That's because it's convenient. If you want to bring customers back to the casino, you can only increase construction and add points everywhere to make it convenient for customers to come. There is a time limit for mainlanders to go to Macau, and guests cannot stay there for a long time, unless they bypass customs or fly to a third country to stay indefinitely, but doing so is too risky and costly. Casinos in Jeju Island, Singapore, Malaysia and other places are opened for people who cannot go to Macau. I believe that it won't take many years for this place to develop..."

Listening to Yi Zhihui's description, Chen Xi shook his head slightly.

"What, you don't believe it?" Yi Zhihui frowned.

"There are other reasons why Jeju Island has few people. It is because there are rumors that this place is a 'pig-killing scam' that specifically defrauds Chinese people. Now is the Internet age, some news will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and everyone will know. I suggest that you choose the islanders, Southeast Asians, and Russians as your customers..."

"Ha, those are all fallacies of gamblers after they lose money. When they win money, they won't say it's fake. It's ridiculous. Then again, your suggestion just now is not very practical. As far as I know, except for Chinese and Koreans, players from other places don't like Jiajiale, and this game is the most profitable project in the casino. The Japanese are now addicted to their pinball room and won't come here to play at all. As for other Southeast Asians...they have their own casinos locally, and those who have money won't come here to play, and those who don't have money will definitely not come..."

"You can offer air tickets, hotels, food and lodging services to attract middle and lower-level players!"

"Casinos are not doing charity. Chinese people are our big customers who can make money!" Yi Zhihui shook his head. He observed Chen Xi's expression and added: "Do you think my idea is problematic? All I think about is how to harvest my compatriots?"

Chen Xi said nothing when he heard this.

Yi Zhihui nodded: "You need to change your mindset. Look at the casinos in Macau. Aren't they also making money from mainlanders? Jeju Island is different. Let me analyze the situation with you. There are several casinos here, but the owners and shareholders are not all Koreans. We can say that we are all competitors. Instead of letting foreigners make money from Chinese people, why not let us make it ourselves? When the time comes, we can donate some money or something, and the funds will actually be repatriated."

"..."

Chen Xi was defeated by Yi Zhihui's words. Isn't this idea similar to Tomas's? Instead of letting Crown make money from international students, it would be better for him to make money himself.

However, what Yi Zhihui said was correct. The casino on Jeju Island is quite complicated. Yi Zhihui's casino is the only one on the island that is owned by a Hong Kong company. The others are owned by Korean chaebols, island chaebols, Americans, etc.

"Do you know who the shareholders of our casino are?" Yi Zhihui asked as he lit a cigarette.

"The chaebol of Korea?" Chen Xi, who was relatively familiar with the place, replied.

"That's right, and they are the first and second chaebols in Korea, Samsung! And Modern Group, but they have bigger appetites and want to gain dominance. How can we agree to this?"

“What about other venues?”

"This place can be said to be a gathering place for the chaebols of Korea. Other places include Paradise Group, Lotte, and SK Group..."

"Oh? SK Group?"

When Chen Xi heard about SK Group, his expression changed subtly. Isn't this the company that Jin Nana is going to marry?

After saying so much, Chen Xi didn't react at all. Yi Zhihui asked curiously: "Why, is there any problem?" (End of this chapter)
