A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 114 What?! You want to open a casino?!
The scenic area is becoming increasingly popular.

Qi Yue strolled around the ancient-style food street. Under the warm sunshine, the ancient street appeared particularly lively and vibrant.

The cobblestone road is polished smooth, and the antique buildings on both sides of the street are arranged in a pleasing manner, with tourists coming and going, making it a lively and bustling place.

Craftsmen can be seen from time to time along the roadside, making clay figurines, painting portraits, and selling traditional snacks such as sugar figurines and candied hawthorns.

The construction here is truly excellent.

Li Qingshan is a talented person.

As he walked, Qi Yue suddenly saw two familiar dog shadows.

When I went over, I saw it was Xiao Huang and Xiao Tie.

The two guys were leisurely lying on the stone path by the wall, resting with their eyes half-closed.

"No wonder I don't see you two sometimes. When I feed you at night, you only eat a little less."

"They've come all the way here."

Seeing this, Qi Yue couldn't help but laugh and scold him.

Upon hearing Qi Yue's voice, the two dogs instantly sprang to their feet, turned to look at him with ingratiating smiles, and wagged their tails as they ran over.

The shaking motion was quite large; even the buttocks were shaking.

That was especially interesting.

"It's okay, just have fun."

"go Go."

Qi Yue waved his hand and walked forward.

The two country dogs followed for a while before running off freely.

Qi Yue came here to check out the food street and grab a bite to eat.

Overall, this place is very nice.

His income mainly comes from rent, and he also owns two brand stores.

With no shortage of business, you earn more.

When Li Qingshan saw him coming, he immediately went to greet him.

"Boss, business is booming in the food street. Every day, many merchants are asking me if there are any vacant shops."

“Some people are even willing to pay higher rents to move here.”

“Some merchants who were previously hesitant are now eager to sign contracts.”

"I'll do as you said, conduct the inspection first, then report back, and then let them move in."

"Any store that can open here must have guaranteed quality."

Li Qingshan reported with a smile.

Qi Yue's food street has corresponding management to regulate the behavior of merchants.

Just like Pang Donglai Supermarket has its own testing agency to ensure the quality of its products.

Only proper management can produce good results.

"It's pretty good; I've verified all the stores."

"The artisans you found have very good ideas."

"The food street suddenly came alive."

“I’ve also been thinking that there are fewer NPCs in the sect scenic area right now, so I’d like to find some performers to play sect roles there.”

"They are also permanent employees of the scenic area."

Qi Yue asked Li Qingshan.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan thought for a moment and then said:
"I do know some people. My classmate works as a group leader at a film studio, which means he's in charge of the extras."

“Many film crews ask them directly when they are looking for extras.”

"Although the job of a group leader takes a cut from the extras, it can also bring business to the extras."

"This person knows a lot about extras."

"They have all the types of people who are suitable for which roles."

"I'll ask him first."

Having a subordinate with extensive connections definitely makes a difference.

Qi Yue once asked Li Qingshan why he couldn't make it work at the children's amusement park before.

In fact, Li Qingshan was also helpless. The owner of the children's amusement park was very stingy and refused to invest any more money. Moreover, his wife managed all the accounts.

It's already quite an achievement that he can maintain a stable revenue.

Now, at Qingfeng Mountain, he can truly unleash his full potential.

Then, Qi Yue told Li Qingshan about the role he envisioned.

The Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion needs a master swordsmith, preferably a rugged, muscular man.

We also need a swordsman, someone with a cool look.

The Taiji Hall needs one elderly man, let's bring two, so they can take turns.

In addition, Qi Yue plans to open another casino at the foot of the sect's mountain.

So you need a few dealers, who are the ones who deal the cards and roll the dice.

"Open a casino?"

Upon hearing Qi Yue's words, Li Qingshan was slightly taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise.

Boss, you can't do this kind of business!
Qi Yue nodded and smiled:

"We're preparing to open a casino and hold an event."

"The tickets used are banknotes issued by the scenic area; no real money is involved."

"it does not matter."

“I also know a group of college students and I’m quite familiar with them. When I organize events, I call them over to work as temporary staff and also as dealers.”

"The holiday is almost over, so we need to have an event to liven up the scenic area again."

Upon hearing Qi Yue's words, Li Qingshan's eyes lit up.

"This event is really great!" Li Qingshan knew that Qi Yue had organized many events and admired Qi Yue very much.

Qi Yue gives people the impression of being unpredictable, but he always has a good grasp of things.

Although he was young, his employees held him in awe.

Therefore, everyone is full of confidence in the future of the scenic area.

"no problem."

"Once this event is launched, the scenic area will be packed with visitors."

"We must prepare more gambling tables."

Li Qingshan nodded.

"I plan to do it in several areas at the same time, so that tourists can go to different areas."

"It can also disperse the flow of customers."

"In the end, the prize is redeemed based on the number of silver notes you have."

"For example, each person starts with 1000 taels, and can only redeem the prize after earning 5000 taels."

"Then we'll set the reward tiers at higher levels."

Qi Yue continued.

Qi Yue had already considered organizing this event, and he was looking for Li Qingshan to discuss the details.

"We have to prevent tourists from robbing each other."

"There are many ways to obtain silver notes at Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City, so the number of tourists has surged. Basically, every time I go there, there are tourists fighting."

Li Qingshan said.

"The sect scenic area is not yet perfect. We can't find enough NPCs to hold as many events as we can."

"Moreover, when we organize an event, we should focus on just one."

The two discussed the details of organizing the event.

It is precisely because of these continuous events that Qingfeng Mountain has become increasingly popular.

Thus, the prototype of the new activity has been formed.

Event Name:

"Qingfeng Gambling House, King of Gamblers Tournament"

Activity details: Each person can participate in a maximum of 10 rounds of dice rolling. If they lose all their dice, they must leave the game early.

Finally, based on the number of silver notes in hand, rewards were redeemed.

The top 10 people in terms of assets will be eligible for an additional gambling king competition.

The winner will receive the scenic area's ultimate mystery grand prize.

There is also a note about the event: In accordance with policies and regulations, this event does not involve any real monetary rewards; all rewards from the scenic area are prizes.

This time, even if Qi Yue wanted to give money, it wouldn't work.

Any activity involving real money is considered gambling.

Gathering tens of thousands of people to gamble—I don't even want to think about that crime.

At best, they'll spend their lives in jail; at worst, they'll be executed.

Of course, you need to hire a few suitable employees before you can hold an event.

So, Li Qingshan contacted his classmate who was in charge of group chats, and they started looking for actors at the film and television city.

To be fair, this is a great opportunity for some extras.

Take Qiao Chong, for example. After graduating from film school, he worked his way up in the film and television city for 10 years. Now he's over 30 and has accomplished almost nothing.

Film studios are not lacking in good actors, hard-working people, or people with dreams.

There are plenty of people like that.

There are so many people who want to be stars. Everyone wants to achieve success, be glamorous, and be surrounded by admirers.

But it's too difficult, too difficult.

At 22, Qiao Chong still had dreams, drive, and courage.

Now that he's 32, he just wants to end this turbulent period and settle down.

So when the group leader asked him about this news, Qiao Chong immediately agreed and even treated the group leader to a meal as a thank you.

The group leader said to him:

"Among these extras, you are the most reliable and suitable for working in a scenic area."

"If you have formal training, people in the scenic area will look at you with more respect."

"Unlike here, those without formal education often look down on people like you who graduated from film school."

"So, this is an opportunity, seize it if you can."

"It's much better than being exposed to the wind and sun here."

Upon hearing the group leader's words, Qiao Chong expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

But whether you can seize the opportunity when it's there depends on yourself.

Another day passed, and the owner of the scenic area came in person for an interview.

Qiao Chong plays the person who rolls the dice at the gambling den.

He had done a lot of period dramas and was quite outgoing, so he only did a short audition before passing Qi Yue's test.

The probation period is three months.

The workplace is located within the sect within the scenic area.

Qiao Chong thus changed to a new work environment.

He was deeply attracted to the scenic area on his first day there.

Taiji Hall, Wanjian Pavilion, Ancient Village, Hanging Temple.

These landscapes are better than those in film studios.

This is the true ancient style sect.
