Chapter 533 - What an Expensive Card

After a long intercontinental flight, the chartered flight taken by Atletico and others finally arrived at LAS Airport, and after leaving the customs, everyone got into the car driven by the advance team and entered the city all the way.

Although it is daytime, you can't see the world-famous night view of Vegas, but the unique buildings on both sides of the road still attract the attention of many people.

In fact, if the architecture is novel and dazzling, the skyscrapers that have sprung up like mushrooms in China's first-tier cities in recent years are also many highlights, after all, most of them are also the works of European and American big-name designers, and they still have a strong European and American blood. Due to various cost problems and safety concerns caused by 911, few new skyscrapers have joined the race to touch the sky in recent years.

One World Trade Center, a post-911 reconstruction, was officially opened just two months ago, and its roof height is only 41e rental house coupons.

In fact, in the final analysis, Atletico Madrid is completely buying people's hearts with red fruits, but ordinary employees still recognize this, this benefit greatly improves the enthusiasm of the little partners, and at the same time, the smile when they meet and shout the boss is also a lot sincere.

Originally built in 1993, the hotel is owned by MGM Hotels, whose owner, Kirk Corkrian, once owned MGM Pictures, and is home to the giant golden lion sculpture and MGM logo in front of the hotel.

Because of the decline in attendance due to the popularity of television, Hollywood studios in the 6th and 7th years had a worse and worse life, either going bankrupt or being bought.

Together with Columbia Pictures, which was once reduced to the "Coca-Cola advertising agency", MGM, which was also one of the eight major studios, became even more miserable and became a strange flower in the acquisition industry.

It was sold to a Canadian businessman in 1967 and fell to Corklian two years later, who auctioned off the film company's costumes and props, outsourced the distribution business, and demolished the film city to build the hotel, thus creating the MGM Hotel Group today.

In 6 years, Corkrian sold MGM's film division for $1.45 billion, and later bought it back.

In '9, he sold MGM again, and the Italian consortium bought it for $1.3 billion, and then Cokrian bought it back at the original price in '96.

After entering the new century, because of Lao Wu's "Wind Whisperer" box office hit, MGM Pictures was sold again in 25 years, this time the receiver is Sony, the price of 400 million US dollars is the same as the price of Sony's entrenchment purchase of Brother Films 16 years ago, not that MGM has increased in value, but the dollar has depreciated.

In 21, MGM reported the news of bankruptcy and reorganization, but unfortunately Corklian was 93 years old at that time, and he had no energy or interest in buying it back, and he failed to leave everyone with a legend of "four buys MGM".

Of course, the deeds of this blockage tycoon who bought three times and sold MGM three times, and made a lot of money again and again without losing any money, is legendary enough.

Maybe MGM fans will hate his repeated tossing and turning misery, but for foreign tourists like Atletico Madrid, it is the billionaire himself who is more topical and attractive. It's a pity that this old gentleman has already retired and settled in Los Angeles, and is making every effort to impact the legendary achievement of "Old Man of the Century", and everyone naturally has no chance to see it.

With Atletico's thick pockets, there is actually a chance. However, Atletico Madrid did not do this, and he is not a celebrity fan for interest or a biographer for money, so naturally he does not have the time to come to the door.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of things to do and see in this luxury hotel, in addition to the luxurious theater and ballroom, there is also a large spinach facility.

Although according to the official statement, among the nearly 40 million tourists who go to Vegas every year, most of them come here for shopping and tourism, and only a few people really come here to make germanium money, but just like a bad man who doesn't go to the Great Wall, since he has arrived in Las Vegas, he has not gone to see the drastic change of wealth numbers with his own eyes, and he has not listened to the tempting sound of chip collision, how can he be embarrassed to say that he has been to germanium city?

As the saying goes, it is difficult to disobey the will, so after waiting for everyone to put their luggage in their rooms and take a simple rest, Atletico took everyone to the spinach planting area in the hotel. Of course, in line with the principle of small blockade and pleasure, Boss Ma just exchanged $5 for chips, and one person gave some and let them go to play, while he spun around the hall at will.

As for his bodyguards, except for the people who stayed in the room to watch the luggage, everyone else was quietly following Atletico at the moment, and they didn't mean to spread out to play by themselves.

Although the U.S. imperialism has a greater demand for meat shield bodyguards than in China because they can legally hold guns, there is no place for them to be used in this kind of strict security place, as long as they enter this door, Atletico Madrid will not have a problem even if they do not bring a bodyguard. Because if something happens to him, not only will the MGM brand fall, but even the image of Las Vegas tourism will suffer greatly.

After taking two steps, Atletico Madrid looked back at the bodyguards and couldn't help but smile: "You guys!

After saying that, he ignored the crowd and walked forward on his own, although it was the first time for Atletico to be here, but his pace was not strange at all, if he happened to be free when passing by various entertainment equipment, he would throw a chip or two into it at will, and then a bodyguard would walk up behind him and wait for the result.

As people close to Atletico Madrid, they naturally know some things that outsiders don't know, such as Ma Dong's miraculous winning rate. Sure enough, Atletico Madrid walked all the way, and all kinds of pleasant winning music kept playing behind them.

As a result, by the time the chips in his hand ran out, the chips in the pockets of the bodyguards had already multiplied several times, and seeing that everyone still wanted to play, Atletico Madrid shook his hand: "Forget it, forget it, don't play." MGM has just gone bankrupt and reorganized, so let's not bother them. ”

Although MGM Hotel Group suffered huge losses in the subprime mortgage crisis, it was only a broken bone, and it has been relieved after selling part of its shares to introduce new investors, and the cooperative hotels led by Golden Lion and MGM are still open one by one in Asia, and there is still a long way to go from bankruptcy and reorganization, right?

However, he is a big boss, although everyone is very puzzled whether Atletico Madrid is mistaken, but in this kind of inconsequential trivial matter, naturally no one is willing to ask, "Boss, did you take the wrong medicine and remember the mistake?"

So, everyone had to forget this sentence and continue to follow Atletico Madrid, silently doing their own work.

What Atletico Madrid didn't say was that he still had some connections with MGM Hotels, but it was not the "head office" here, but a joint venture branch of the Makou Special Economic Zone.

Although the spinach industry is a service industry that comes from the willing, the essence of its zero-sum game is a fact that cannot be changed. In fact, although individual customers occasionally "beat the banker" by virtue of temporary luck, but on the whole, the banker only makes money and does not lose, and the difference is only a big profit or a small profit. So, the spinach industry, like the securities industry, is a big employer of mathematicians, and has been trying to use more sophisticated mathematical models to increase their profit margins.

The only way to defeat a mathematician is another mathematician or a better group of mathematicians.

There is no shortage of such figures in history, such as Edward Thorpe, a mathematics professor at MIT, who used his mathematical knowledge and computer software to make tens of thousands of dollars on the 21-point game in the 7s. Although he was later targeted by the security guards and became an unwelcome guest, he still reached the peak of his life by publishing books and starting an investment fund.

If inflation is not taken into account, the performance of this mysterious professor in the 7 years is really a little small, not enough. In contrast, the fact that another group of mystery students used card counting skills in the 9s to make 10 million dollars on 21 is even more famous, and this true event was later adapted into the movie "Winning 21".

Interestingly, the realistic prototype of the protagonist of the movie is also a Chinese surnamed Ma, but the man Kevin Ma (Jeffma) relies on a genius brain like an Intel chip, while Atletico Madrid relies on the chip in his body.

With the help of e7u, what can be recited, never forget, dog nose, super mental arithmetic, etc., is no longer a problem, and these abilities have also made a great contribution to Atletico Madrid's accumulation of the first pot of gold. With these abilities, whether it is mahjong, playing cards, or even roulette, he can "see" the clues, which greatly increases the winning rate.

As for the slot-machine, it is even simpler, and now the common use of the electronic type with an adjustable online winning rate is very convenient for him. Atletico Madrid, who has transformed into a cyborg, has long acquired the ability to send and receive radio waves on his skin, and although the transmission power is too small to only have Bluetooth level, it is no problem to invade the machine and interfere with the operation of the program when in close contact.

Although electronic products usually have the design of electromagnetic shielding, for cost considerations, the civilian-level shielding measures are very simple, which can prevent ordinary electronic jammers, but it cannot prevent Atletico Madrid, which has its own super decoder.

It's just that Atletico didn't expect it, he just had a little itchy hand, and was about to lead the team to flash people, when he saw a white man in a decent suit appear in front of him, looking at the manager here.

"Oh, it's a big loss, this card is worth tens of millions!"

There has been a lot of speculation about the details of the miraculous rise of Bee Group, especially Atletico Madrid's entrepreneurial experience of not relying on family property and venture capital, which is a hot spot for the media.

In fact, this secret is just hidden from the public, and the relevant departments and people close to the relevant departments, such as Fang Zhanping, who has a wide network in the Ludao banking system, all know that before the bees really made a profit on a large scale, Atletico Madrid's source of funds was the Makou Special Zone.

After all, Boss Ma is not Edward Thorpe, who later became the father of quantitative hedge funds, let alone a crooked nut, the domestic situation makes him unable to say more about this history, coupled with the deliberate cover-up of the relevant departments, outsiders do not know the origin of this money. However, MGM Hotel Group knows because they have a branch in Makou. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
