Early the next morning, Liu Wei and the others took the tour bus arranged by Capua and set off with the tour guide. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zhenye had other things to do, and he didn't have the cheekiness to follow Liu Wei's ass.

Kapuya is a careful person, not only arranged a bus for Liu Wei and them that can carry 49 people, but also hired an Asian tour guide. Unfortunately, although this completely beautified tour guide lady has an oriental face, she does not speak Chinese, nor can she speak Yue and Korean.

Fortunately, except for Hua Ruyu's little girls, everyone else can speak English, and they don't speak too badly.

Because Mobei Wolf had promised a long time ago, this "tour group" of all women, except for four men, did not go to those world-famous tourist resorts and spent their time shopping.

Mobei Wolf is indeed generous, and he gave each chick 100,000 US dollars before leaving.

When those chicks ran out of money, he subsidized more than a million dollars. At the end of the day, he had almost lost all the money he had won against three unlucky people in Southeast Asia.

If you have money to spend, you don't have to pay out of your own pocket, so everyone is naturally happy.

Liu Wei also received several gifts, Rina Tanaka bought him a set of expensive dresses, Ogura Lai bought him a diamond bracelet from Katia, the Jin sisters bought him a set of casual clothes, Cui Zhenzhi bought him an expensive watch, Yumi Hashimoto bought him a cow cub hat, and Kotone Takeuchi and others bought him several very rare guns in a store specializing in antique firearms.

Several girls are very generous, but Liu Wei is also disrespectful.

As for how to repay, Liu Wei hasn't thought about it yet, after all, he doesn't know what women like.

After spending all the money of the Mobei Wolves, the crowd tasted the city in the next two days, and drove to the Hoover Dam the next afternoon to experience the magnificent dam that had been the first in the world until the completion of the Aswan Dam, and was known as "one of the seven major civil engineering projects in the United States today".

The Hoover Dam is the "Mother of Las Vegas", and without this dam, there would be no Las Vegas today.

Unlike the Three Gorges Dam, which has surpassed the Aswan Dam and is the world's largest dam, the Hoover Dam is a stress dam, not a gravity dam. If you look down, you can see that the dam is bow-shaped and the back of the bow is pointing towards Lake Mead. The dam is made of 3.36 million cubic meters of concrete, which is 221 meters high, forming Lake Mid with a length of 177 kilometers and a maximum storage capacity of 19.6 billion cubic meters.

In front of this dam, no one seems so small.

You know, the Hoover Dam was built in the thirties of the twentieth century with a construction period of only five years. For completing the project two years ahead of schedule, Chief Engineer Frank Gower received a huge bonus.

Many of the technologies used to build the Hoover Dam are still widely used in the engineering field.

If the militarists of the little devils had seen the dam and learned about the construction of the dam, they probably would not have had the courage to attack Pearl Harbor.

Back in Las Vegas, Liu Wei learned that Li Zhenye had left.

In the evening, after changing planes a few times, Dian Bin came to Las Vegas.

Because there were still some things that he needed to deal with in mainland China and Hong Kong, especially the money for Liu Wei's activities in the United States, which needed to go through multiple bank transfers, and the procedures were very cumbersome, he did not follow Liu Wei to Las Vegas, but entered the country alone in the name of business travel.

"I checked, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with this person." Dian Bin has already become the "logistics commander", and all the things that Liu Wei doesn't want to do or can't do are thrown to him. "Just participating in the 'Tournament' will definitely have an impact on the operation, but it is also an effective channel for gathering intelligence."

"What do you mean?"

"The Capua family has a very close relationship with American politics, and maybe they can get to know some politicians through him."

Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully, this was also what he was considering.

"Just be careful, after all, the United States is not the foundation, and American politicians, especially those with powerful powers, are not easy to deal with."

"What did Lao Li say?"

Dian Bin smiled and didn't say anything more. What he said was what Li Tingxuan meant.

"In that case, we'll accept Capua's request." Liu Wei didn't think much about it and said, "How are other things arranged?" ”

"The money is ready, not very much, just over 10 million dollars."

"So little?"

"We all have it." Dian Bin smiled and said, "Who told you to spend money lavishly." Before I came over, Yuan Changqing called me, and in addition to asking you to find Professor Beard as soon as possible, he also reminded you that the funds for follow-up research have been spent, and there are still several pieces of equipment that have not been found. ”

"How much is the difference?"

"I didn't ask, I didn't have any money in my hand, and it was useless to ask, it shouldn't be a small amount."

"In that case, we have to participate in the 'Tournament' even more." Mobei Wolf was a little proud, "That guy is not short of money, let him be satisfied, maybe he can make a lot of money." ”

Liu Wei smiled and turned his gaze to Dian Bin.

"Capua really wants to make a big deal because it's his nemesis, Atlantic City's number one gambling tycoon, Duplin, who is hosting the 'Tournament' this year."

"What is the origin of this man?"

"He didn't have any background, but he was one of the founders of Atlantic City. The Duplin family owns the largest 'Taj Mahal' hotel in Atlantic City, which is also the largest casino in Atlantic City, no smaller than the 'Pyramid Palace'. Atlantic City has grown rapidly in recent years, with more than 40 casinos, and has a tendency to surpass Las Vegas to become the largest capital city in North America. ”

"In this case, this is not a contradiction between Capua and Duplin."

"It's fair to say that Las Vegas and Atlantic City are both gambling cities, and the market in North America is so big that everyone wants to break down their rivals. It's a pity that Las Vegas has a longer history, although the memorial is thicker, but the major families have long been deeply rooted, and no one family has the absolute advantage of dominating the whole city, and basically fights on their own. Atlantic City is the opposite, the Duplin family is the absolute hegemon, and the other casinos are not very influential. If you really want to do it, these antique families in Las Vegas can't take much advantage. ”

Liu Wei smiled and shook his head, Kapuya was not as powerful as it looked.

"Of course, every trade has its own rules. After the North American gambling industry was founded, the rivalry between casinos was controlled. In addition, the federal political axe and the state political axe in the United States have been cracking down on gambling-related criminal activities, especially in Nevada, because of the rapid development of tourism, logistics and other industries, the gaming industry is no longer the main source of tax revenue, and the state political axe has long wanted to ban the gambling industry, so the Capua family and the Duplin family know the serious consequences of the fire. Capua invited you to the 'Tournament' just to come out on top in Atlantic City, to defeat the Dupalins, raise the status of Las Vegas, and attract gamblers. ”

"It's that simple?" Mobei Wolf frowned.

"Now it seems that this is the case, and I can't say for sure whether it is or not."

"If we make it to the finals and come out on top, how much can we win?" Liu Wei is more concerned about income.

"Capua can only give you wild cards, so you have to play in the preliminaries. Depending on the number of applicants, there are two to three rounds of preliminaries, and the winner can earn about $200 million to $300 million. The eight winners of the preliminary round will play a semi-final against the eight seeds, with four knockout matches, with the winners of each game competing in the finals. If all the participants in the rematch bring all their gambling capital, they will win at least $2 billion in the end. ”

"So much!?" Mobei Wolf almost jumped up.

"There are definitely not so many of them that I have them." Dian Bin smiled and said, "According to the rules, the event organizer will take 15% of the service fee, and 45% of the industry development funds, and the rest must pay federal and local taxes, and it will be levied at the highest rate." After all the deductions, it would be a miracle to get 200 million dollars. In previous editions, the final winners only received more than $100 million, and the least one was less than $110 million. ”

"Damn, that's too perverted, isn't it?"

"What's the solution, this is the United States, and gambling is a profiteering industry."

"That's a lot." Liu Wei smiled and said, "Let's talk about this matter in the future, has the contact person arranged by Lao Li come?" ”

"No, I heard that you accepted Capua's invitation, Lao Li adjusted the arrangement, saying that it was to let you make money with peace of mind, and then talk about anything else after handling this matter."

"What do you mean? I'm just saying yes now. ”

"What do you think, Lao Li doesn't know yet?"

Liu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "That's fine, it's just that according to the original plan, we should hurry up and go to those places where there may be secret research bases." ”

"I'll do this, you guys can go to Atlantic City in peace and discuss it when you come back."

Liu Wei nodded, and it could only be like this.

"There's something, you're sure to have thought of it, but I'll have to warn you." Dian Bin hesitated for a moment and said, "Since Capua promised to give you more benefits, don't let go of this opportunity." Now it seems that he does not have much faith in you, so you can open your mouth, and he will probably not refuse. ”

"Old Dian, do you think we didn't even think of this little thing?" Zhou Yulong laughed and said, "Liu Wei has already thought of it, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately fished for Capua's appetite." ”

"It's better to say it sooner." Dian Bin added, and then turned his gaze to Liu Wei.

"It's okay, we know what to do." Liu Wei glanced at his watch, "It's late, you changed planes a few times, go and rest early." ”

Dian Bin was indeed tired, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

The next day, Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf found Capua and made an extra request, that is, how many additional benefits they could get after winning the "Tournament".

As judged by Dian Bin, Capua did not think that the two had a chance to win, so he responded to his request.

Mobei Wolf also took this opportunity to open his mouth and offered a sky-high price of 200 million US dollars. Capua did not refuse, but made an additional request, that after winning, they had to return to Las Vegas to serve the Capua family for two years under the title of "Honorary Gambling King of Pyramid Palace". During this time, you will be paid a lot of money, but you will not need to be involved in management work or do anything else.

To put it simply, it is the golden sign of the "Pyramid Palace".

With such a simple request, Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf immediately agreed.
