Overturned Tower

Although when delphinium first heard the shocking news, she was not able to adapt for a while...

The "love hotel" industry can be regarded as a "protection industry" and "monopoly industry" in Sogo Island—you know, in Happy Island, you can't wait for eight hotels in one street.

And in places like the bridge area and the giant screen area, the number will only be more. Open one across from a prominent bar, one downstairs from the movie theater, one next to the bunny shop, one upstairs from the bathing center... The Hive Nightclub is an example, half of the rooms in that building have beds.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.

Sogo Island is the sky island with the lowest birth rate among the seven sky islands, and the love hotel industry is indeed protected by the head office. After all, there is no telling which pair of lovers will eventually become husband and wife...Young people are always more likely to fall in love than social people. Once you become a veteran, it is difficult to talk about forever and the two sides stay together.

"...But according to the customs of your Sogo Island, won't it be a loss for them to open a love hotel?"

Walking side by side with Russell on the road, Delphinium couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Russell put on cool sunglasses after a long absence, and stood on the outer side of the road with his hands in his pockets. Delphinium's left hand was also put into Russell's right pocket, and he clasped his fingers.

This pose is easy to stick together, and it is very convenient for them to have some whispers.

"It will be a loss, of course it will be a loss."

Russell replied, "Even if their family opened a love hotel next to high schools and colleges, they would definitely lose money. As far as I know, their rooms have never been fully occupied.

"Although there are young couples who are in love, but if they can be admitted to university, everyone still hopes to study hard. Not everyone wants to hand over their lives to artificial intelligence... Especially in the student days when they didn't understand the limits of their talents and had high expectations for their future, everyone was full of enthusiasm. "

"In that case..."

Delphinium was a little puzzled: "Shouldn't she be losing money all the time?"

"That's right. Sogo Island and Happy Island have slightly different basic rules..."

Russell patiently explained for Delphinium.

To put it simply, most of the underlying industries in Chongguang Island have been contracted by artificial intelligence headed by the Three Sages. And there is another problem here, that is, the three sages are nominally subordinate to the Sogo Group.

— That is to say, these industries are monopolized by Sogo Group.

Of course, it also includes industries such as materials, construction, and property management. And those who want to do some small business, whether they want to rent or buy the store, their final arrears will flow to Sogo Group.

Among the seven giants, only "Sogo Group" and "Tianen Group" do not have particularly specific main projects. Because the two giants have penetrated into all walks of life, forming a comprehensive suppression in multiple business fields.

As a "giant", Sogo Group is the actual manager of Sogo Island. Other companies can sit back and watch, but they are the only ones who have to worry about the birth rate of Sogo Island... because these populations are their future consumers and their property.

"...So, when their family decided to build a love hotel, they could apply for reimbursement from the Sogo Group for part of the reconstruction costs, as well as renting an engineering team at a cheap price.

"So, in the name of "strengthening the attractiveness of the love hotel," their family built a movie theater, cafeteria, and indoor amusement park in the hotel, and reserved space for a shopping mall. And this site happened to be near the school...

"The agglomeration effect of business circles cannot be ignored. Rather than working silently on a certain street from scratch, it is better to directly enter their shopping mall. Even if the rent will be much more expensive, but after the flow of people increases, the income will only be high or not low.

"Of course, their family has prepared the best love hotel, and all the supporting facilities are top-notch. Of course, it is still incomparable with Happy Island and Tongshen Island...but in Sogo Island, this is the top supporting facilities.

"However, their family didn't rely on 'couples, pay back their money'.

. Instead, they live by collecting rent from those other businesses. "

Isn't this prostitution of Sogo Group's labor force?

Delphinium felt a little incomprehensible for a moment: "Won't this be considered a fraud?"

"If they were on Happy Island, they would most likely be sanctioned. Either they would spit out their equity and management rights, or they would have to be skinned by Tianen Group. In short, it is impossible to prostitute a "giant" for free. Yes. The company will definitely punish them as a warning to others.”

Russell shrugged, "But it's different on Sogo Island.

"Don't forget, the three sages are not real human beings. They don't care about face, they don't only focus on their original purpose, and they don't care about immediate interests.

"It is true that the company has been prostituted for nothing, but they are not losing money. Because as long as people are consuming, no matter who the money is for, it will eventually flow within Sogo Island. Enabling the market itself is lifeless. An activation of Sogo Island—even if their family cannot provide enough population, they still revitalize the economy of Sogo Island from another perspective.”

...is it still possible?

Delphinium was stunned: "Then no one followed suit?"

"of course not."

Russell said meaningfully, "Because the next thing to do this business is to praise the doctors. Except for their storefronts, other "squares" of this type on Sogo Island are controlled by Sogo Group itself. After many plans are optimized by artificial intelligence, whether it is user experience, density, charging standards or even management, it becomes more scientific, more reasonable, and more advantageous.

"As a pioneering enterprise, their family fell into a disadvantage in all aspects. Rather, they did not take back the management rights of this "brand". It was the three sages and Dr. Zan Bai who proposed this idea to her father." rewarded.

"...However, her father is a sensible person and can balance his mentality. He knows that he took off by speculation at the beginning, and understands how much he has. So even if the limelight is completely taken away by the SOGO Group, My own income has been squeezed by the market to one-third of the peak period...but it is enough for their family to operate stably."

"He's a smart guy."

"That is, after all, he is also an outstanding graduate of the Sogo Group." He almost became Dr. Zanbai. "

As he said that, Russell led the delphinium to the front of a huge building with more than eighty floors and resplendent in gold.

Delphinium just looked up, and suddenly felt scalp tingling.

She found that she couldn't bear the unique aesthetic of this Sogo Island style—

The building looks like a snake standing upright. It's just that each snake scale is shining with a dark golden light under the light of night... Those are huge floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside at all. But you can see the outside from the inside.

It can be seen flickering from afar. Like a diamond with many facets, it can be seen to sparkle from any angle.

Just on their side, there are four entrances, and the flow of people is surging.

The buildings inside are almost all pale gold. Whether it is the ground, the ceiling or the walls, they are all made of a kind of metal that looks very light.

On the other hand, a line of huge golden fluid characters hanging above it dragged for more than 40 meters horizontally, and the characters shone with golden, dark golden, and brown flowing brilliance:

【Glow Love Hotel】

"...It's really bright."

Delphinium couldn't help complaining, "I found all the buildings here, and only one flash stands out.

"As long as it can be made to shine, it will definitely shine."

If we say that the night of Happy Island is neon...purple, pink, and wine red, exuding a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.

Then the night of Sogo Island is golden.

In a sense, there is more light here at night than during the day. She also went out for a stroll during the day, and it wasn't that shiny at all—no matter how you looked at it, it was pure white.

As a result, when I went out at night, the good guy—

If you look around, you can see many buildings shining brightly. It's no longer enough to just reflect street lights, those structures even have lights built into them.

And many **** statues, Buddha statues, and holy elephants in the streets and alleys also shone with more intense brilliance. Some have golden halos behind their heads, some have halos above their heads, some have wings of light behind them, some have colorful glows all over their bodies, some have pure golden light all over their bodies, and some project raging flames on their bodies...

If you look at ~www.wuxiahere.com~ from the sky above at this time, I am afraid that these buildings will look like brilliant diamonds one after another.

Delphinium, who felt some pain in his eyes, finally understood why Russell still wore sunglasses when he went out at night.

"No, I will lend you."

After Delphinium rubbed her eyes for the third time, Russell took off his sunglasses and put them on for her.

Because the positions of the ears in this world are different, the sunglasses are all sucked to the temple with the short handle, or inserted in the hair like a hairpin.

"Didn't you notice that I can only walk with my face up while wearing these sunglasses?"

Russell sighed helplessly: "This is for you, I just want to see when you ask me for it..."

"I thought you thought it was cool to walk like this."

"It's really cool. If you didn't drag me, I would have hit someone twice..."
