Chapter 1034 Las Vegas
Zhuang Rui’s plane had just come to a stop when a Mercedes Benz bus sped up and stopped in front of the airplane’s cabin door, four pugnacious men with sunglasses came down from the car and stood guard at the door looking around vigilantly.
“Hey, buddy I’m just here to hit the sauce, as for such a big row?”
Zhuang Rui stretched out his head and looked, he didn’t expect Mr. He would have this kind of arrangement, the bodyguards even hired four for him, can’t it be possible that this gambling game would really be in some kind of danger?
But with the last woman coming down from the Mercedes Benz bus, Zhuang Rui realized that he dared to make a fool of himself, he guessed that the bodyguards were all this woman’s.
“Fourth Mrs.? What brings you here?”
Zhuang Rui greeted the woman who got off at the end, this woman in her fifties is Mr. He’s fourth aunt, now in charge of many things in SJM, considered as Mr. He’s right hand man, although Zhuang Rui is not very familiar with her, but there are also a few faces.
“Mr. Zhuang made a move for the sake of SJM this time, Mr. He is not feeling well, so of course I have to come and entertain for a while.”
The fourth wife smiled like a flower, although already over fifty years old, but the appearance does not reduce the same year, a smile and knit posture, dignified but not lose charm.
In Zhuang Rui’s eyes, the heart straight to the demon, so old and still so charming, no wonder when the old King of Gamblers was sixty or seventy years old, he still fights the horse, and plowed out a daughter to it!
“Zhuang Rui, this time I’m here on vacation! This clothing, food, housing and transportation, you, the boss, must reimburse me!”
Huangfu Yun is no stranger to Las Vegas, he used to be considered an upper class person in the United States, and occasionally he would still play a few games here when he has time, of course, the kind where the winnings and losses are not very big.
“Mr. Huangfu, all of your expenses in Las Vegas this time will be paid by our SJM, in addition this card can be used to withdraw one million dollars in chips from any casino in Las Vegas, I wish you a good time.”
Before Zhuang Rui could reply, the fourth wife sitting in the front row had an extra golden card in her hand and handed it to Huangfu Yun.
“This, it’s better to forget about it! I play very small.”
Huangfu Yun was just joking with Zhuang Rui, he didn’t want to be favored for nothing.
The fourth wife seemed to know Huangfu Yun’s scruples, and immediately smiled and said, “Oh, Mr. Peng also has one of these, this is a little bit of SJM’s heart, you can feel free to accept it.”
The gambling industry is actually also a service industry, basically all the big casinos, have a special system, which records the guests who have ever made a big bet in their casinos, and the next time this guest, no matter whether he goes to any of their casinos, he will be treated like a VIP.
SJM seems to have practiced VIP treatment for Zhuang Rui as well, and has mapped out the situation of the people around him very clearly.
Although Peng Fei is Zhuang Rui’s bodyguard, but also is Zhuang Rui’s godbrother, so not only as Zhuang Rui’s right-hand man Huangfu Yun has casino gold card, even Peng Fei they also prepared.
To say that SJM is not cheap, a card is a million dollars, which in the mainland is enough for a family to live a lifetime of well-off life.
However, Peng Fei did not reach out to receive the card, but will look to Zhuang Rui, to be honest, follow Zhuang Rui really not much need to use the money, Zhuang Rui gave him tens of millions of dollars, were handed over to his daughter-in-law for safekeeping.
Zhuang Rui glanced at the fourth wife and said: “Take it! This is the fourth wife’s intention, brother Huangfu, relax properly these days.”
This time, SJM’s five hundred million dollars of winners and losers are pinched in Zhuang Rui’s hands, for this small amount of money, surely won’t be in the eyes of the people, if Zhuang Rui can help them to win the gambling license, then in the next few years, SJM’s profits, will be calculated in tens of billions of dollars.
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Huangfu Yun and Peng Fei received the gold card of the fourth wife, Peng Fei is indifferent, but Huangfu Yun for Zhuang Rui’s energy, in his heart there is a new position.
The bus drove on the spacious highway, the car gradually quieted down, Zhuang Rui’s eyes were attracted by the scenery on both sides of the road. Not that the landscape outside the window is so beautiful, on the contrary, on both sides of the highway, all are barren desert.
Las Vegas has the most typical desert landscape, with very little rain, hot summers, and cold, sandy winters, so it is reasonable to say that such a place is generally barren.
However, Las Vegas is the only oasis with springs in the surrounding barren desert, and semi-desert areas, and because of the springs, it gradually became a stagecoach stop for the incoming and outgoing highways, and a transit point for the railroads.
Las Vegas opened in 1905, and after the discovery of gold and silver in Nevada, an influx of gold prospectors began to prosper, but like the mining towns of the West, they were abandoned once the mines were exhausted.
On January 1, 1910, depressed Las Vegas closed all casinos and brothels, and in 1931 during the Great Depression in the U.S., in order to tide over the economic difficulties, the Nevada State Legislature passed a bill to legalize gambling, and Las Vegas became a gambling town, which has been rising rapidly ever since.
As we all know, the main economic pillar of Las Vegas, is the gaming industry, due to the casino is a gold rush bowl, the United States around the moguls have to Las Vegas to invest in building casinos, and even Japanese tycoons, Arabian princes, and famous actors have come to invest.
In 1990, Chinatown also settled in Las Vegas, which soon became a gathering place for Asian-Americans, making Las Vegas the fastest growing city in the United States.
Nowadays, Las Vegas has the world’s top resort hotels, world-class large-scale performances and high-tech entertainment facilities, and its tentacles have developed from the gaming industry to the tourism industry as well as the pornographic industry.
In Las Vegas, if you have the money, it can fulfill any desire you have.
Of course, there are a lot of people who have experienced the process of going from being rich in money to being penniless, so Las Vegas is also known as the “capital of suicide”, and the reason for suicide is naturally because of too much gambling losses in Las Vegas.
In this world, a few desperate people, those who originally held the hope and fantasy to Las Vegas for the last fight, but the iron face of the Las Vegas can not tolerate these failures, they finally had to take the despair to see God.
Las Vegas is also known as the “Marriage Capital of the World”. There is a marriage registry in Las Vegas that never closes, with an average of nearly 120,000 couples registering for marriage here every year.
At the marriage registry, you can see pairs of young, middle-aged and old people filling out marriage forms, some with huge age gaps, some carrying sleeping babies in baskets.
Without the need to show supporting documents, by paying a $55 registration fee for the procedure, the marriage registry completely believes any lies people make up, and you can get a marriage certificate in 15 minutes and then find a priest to perform the wedding in a nearby church.
Many movie stars and celebrities like to go to Las Vegas to get married and eventually get divorced in the city.
Zhuang Rui just read a news some time ago, when once in the Shanghai Tang TV series red-hot Lui Liang Wei and Zhou Hai Mei, once held a wedding here.
To say that this old American thinking is open, not convinced not, the country just appeared and was fired hot flash marriage, for Las Vegas, has been carried out for decades.
In Zhuang Rui thinking about the information of this magical city, the car has been driven into the city of Las Vegas, and the outside of the barren compared to give a person a kind of directly from hell into the feeling of heaven.
Into the place, everywhere is full of greenery, the buildings on both sides of the road is even more strange, but decorated with gold and blue, in the introduction of Huangfu Yun Zhuang Rui only know, dare to say that this is the casino in Las Vegas.
Zhuang Rui and others took the car directly into the MGM Grand Hotel, which is one of the world’s ten largest resort hotels, hotels have a variety of restaurants, amusement parks, shows, casinos and other leisure facilities, the most important thing is that the hotels have their own characteristics, is simply a theme park.
As long as you stay in the hotel, almost all your requirements can be satisfied, whether you want to eat, play or gamble, you can find them all.
The fourth lady sent Zhuang Rui to the hotel and left, but left a Chinese bodyguard in charge of Zhuang Rui in Las Vegas trip, gambling will take place in the morning of the day after tomorrow, Zhuang Rui still have a whole day with an afternoon of fun time.
Zhuang Rui has little interest in gambling, but for Las Vegas world-renowned show is very interested in, after a short rest, hastily ate something, then dragged Peng Fei and others to see the show.
Canadian circus water theater, stage props alone a variety of equipment, spent ninety-two million U.S. dollars, the grandeur of the scene, the novelty of the idea, let Zhuang Rui shocked.
And the casino’s signature program that had been performed for twenty years, the Airborne Show, made Huangfu Yun exclaim, because all the cabaret dancers in it were naked in the upper half of their bodies when they performed.
Although similar programs could be seen in certain obscure places in China, it was not at all in the same level compared to the show here which was openly and honestly performed by hundreds of people.
Zhuang Rui can only understand this as one person dancing striptease that is dirty, a hundred people dancing is art.
When Zhuang Rui returned to the hotel, the bodyguard who had been following behind him stepped forward and said, “Mr. Zhuang, the Fourth Mistress would like to see you for a while, to talk to you about the gambling related matters.”
This was also what the Fourth Mistress had specifically explained, asking the bodyguard not to disturb Zhuang Rui’s amusement, and to make an appointment with him if he didn’t call a call girl or something like that arranged at night.
“Alright! Go over now!”
Zhuang Rui looked at the time, it was just nine o’clock in the evening, for Las Vegas, the nightlife was but just beginning.
Since he had promised Mr. He and had received so many benefits, with Zhuang Rui’s principles of being a human being, he would naturally give his all to this gambling game.
