Chapter 771 Is a Regular Hotel Okay?
Kenny had only wanted to get rid of his role as a strategist and become the boss himself.
So, one nightclub would have been enough.
But now that this new force was going to be led by Kingsley, and since Cassius, a big shot in the underworld, was joining them, they couldn't be so hasty!
Kingsley tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the couch and asked, "Kenny, Cassius, do you have any opinions on the scale and location of our headquarters?"
"I think it's best if it's larger in size and can accommodate more men," Kenny said. "I have my eye on a club in the eastern district of the city. It consists of three buildings, each five stories high. And the owner of that club happens to be planning to go abroad, so all three buildings are up for auction."
He touched his nose and continued, "The only problem is that it's a bit expensive. What do you think, boss?"
"Three buildings..." Kingsley pondered for a moment and said, "No, that's not good. I don't think it's suitable there."
At Kingsley's words, Cassius and Kenny exchanged glances, both showing an expression of expectation.
If they were to buy the entire club, it would cost at least several million.
For a new force, it was indeed too extravagant.
"Alright, boss, I have a rough idea now," Kenny said, not feeling too regretful. He just thought that he had set his goals too high.
"Well... let me see if there are any other places we can—"
Before Kenny could finish speaking, Kingsley interrupted him and said slowly, "Since our force doesn't engage in illegal activities, can we establish our headquarters in a regular hotel?"
"It's possible." Kenny nodded. "It's just not something that is commonly done by underworld forces."
"Kenny is right," Cassius explained. "Underworld forces usually choose their headquarters based on their main business. It's indeed rare to see an underworld force operating a hotel. And the headquarters must have a certain level of privacy or threshold so that not just anyone can come in and take a look. For example, the Black Boxer Gang and the Jeanne Gang. Their main territories are hidden beneath regular businesses. Or with Xanxus Norton's Sunshine Casino, you need to have VIP status to enter the central gambling city."
Kenny added, "Yes, hotels usually have a maximum of five or six floors. Besides regular businesses, there are very few places where our men can gather."
"Five or six floors?" Kingsley smiled faintly. "I want a place that has more than just five or six floors!"
Upon hearing this, Kenny and Cassius had wide eyes.
Kenny exclaimed, "Are you referring to... the Marley Hotel?!"
"It seems that the Marley Hotel in Cleapolis is the only one with more than six floors," Cassius said, smacking his lips, "If you want to take over the Marley Hotel, you need at least eight figures, no, it's more like ten figures!"
"The Marley Hotel?" Kingsley raised an eyebrow, then remembered the previous banquets hosted by the Foxes and the Keans, which were held there.
It was indeed one of the top-notch hotels in Cleapolis.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"The Marley Hotel is indeed good," Kingsley smirked. "But that's not what I'm talking about."
"What is it then?" Kenny and Cassius asked in unison.
Kingsley said calmly, "I'm talking about the Ramada Hotel!"
Kenny and Cassius were speechless.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Cassius even choked and coughed repeatedly.
"Boss, am I hearing things?" Cassius said, "The Ramada Hotel is owned by the Coliree Group! It's not just any ordinary hotel! To purchase it, you would need at least several billion, no, more like tens of billions!"
Kenny also swallowed. "Boss, this is not a joking matter! When our force is established, we will have to host banquets for various forces in the underworld! If we make a mistake, we will suffer humiliation!"
