即便是在情况最好的时候,境外开设赌场也是高风险的投资,因为中国政府经常会打击出境的赌徒。缅甸军政府就尝过这样的苦果,随着中国边境吃紧,那里的赌场就在丛林里荒废了。磨丁的生意人说,现在的打击行动可能会使赌场转移到老挝或者缅甸的其他地方。一个总部在澳门的公司刚刚在老挝泰国和缅甸交界处建成了一座规模宏大的河景赌场金三角。
But Golden City was supposed to represent more than just a fast buck. The developerspersuaded Laos of the benefits of allowing a Chinese-run enclave. Its residents, they said,would form a huge community and a modern society, in the words of their brochure. Thezone also took on some of the trappings of the Chinese state, including uniformed securityguards, development slogans and even the Chinese currency. This gave the false impressionthat it enjoyed official backing. Instead, it became an irritant that Beijing had to put in its place.
但是黄金城并非只做一些投机的生意,开发商还向老挝政府许诺了许多建设一块中国人管理的飞地的好处,在他们的宣传册上,他们扬言要把当地建成一个庞大的社区和现代化的社会。他们还在开发区里应用了很多中国元素,例如保安的服装、开发的口号甚至使用中国货币。这些都给人们一种假象,他们背后有中国官方背景。这些也刺激了北京尽快平息这里的混乱。
