In addition to Shi Hu's research projects, there are other important projects at Onix, such as David Hu. Freeman's bio-artificial intelligence research, and Madeleine. Rosenstein Investments' Brain Domain Program. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The latter is a joint of the three of them, but there are too many unknowns and the progress is slow.

But at present, the two of them are still concentrating on the "Freeman-Stone" model, Shi Hu is not very interested in this, he is more interested in artificial intelligence, the problem of the integration of man and machine, the three of them can't get together for the time being, they will deal with their own projects first, and put other things later.

So Shi Hu returned to Las Vegas and continued to be busy.

Recently, there have been a lot of activities in the flying club, and Shi Hu goes to participate in it every day, and he is still a quasi-master, and his talent is like this. While discussing stunts at the club, a black Mercedes drives up to the door, the rear door opens, and Erica, dressed in professional attire, gets out of the car.

Shi Hu knew that she would not come to him for nothing, so he put down the work in his hand: "What's the matter?" ”

"I'll take you back." Glancing at her watch, she said, "You're going to have a networking meeting tonight, and I'm suggesting you get acquainted with the design elements of the new hotel." ”

"In a hurry?" Shi Hu got into the car with her.

Erica carried the documents with her and opened the information to introduce: "The day before yesterday, I helped you promise to attend the exchange meeting between the heads of the major hotels in the casino, focusing on the opinions on 'online gambling'. I'm guessing there will be people interested in your hotel plans in the evening as well. ”

"Who is involved?" Shi Hu asked.

Erica said: "Pretty much all the people in the casino will attend, Sheldon. Adelson, Steve. Tycoons like Wayne. They are interested in new operators. Your opinion on whether online gambling is legal. It's what they want to know. ”

"Another thing. Lauren. Woods' design for the hotel is almost complete, and you still have three and a half hours between now and the evening meeting. If you're hoping to get the cooperation of other tycoons in the casino, or pick out a better partner than MGM, chances are tonight. ”

"It was sudden." Shi Hu felt that important things were rushing to him.

"I informed you, but you were all there the other day...... Engage in interest. Erica found a more polite way of saying "not doing business".

"Blame me." Shi Hu smiled and said, "Female companion, is that you?" ”

"No problem." She nodded. "I'm interested in the exchange."

"Of course I do." Shi Hu knows very well that Erica, who is cool on the surface, yearns for it in her heart, and the American gambling king is her idol of struggle.

……

Although Shi Hu forgot about it, he still caught up.

With a brilliant memory, Woods' latest design plan is set at $3 billion, which will set a new record for a Las Vegas hotel investment – a reasonable estimate that the total cost should be around $3.5 billion after the construction period is over.

Such a large scale is also the reason why the tycoons will pay attention to him.

Las Vegas has new peers every year, but it can do Shi Hu's in the short term. He was the only one. Even the original Adelson was crawling step by step, and he only made a fortune after middle age. If Shi Hu can invest in building a five-star casino hotel. This means that he will be the tycoon of the future.

Throughout Las Vegas, all five-star hotels (including casinos) are in the hands of tycoons, MGM Hotel Group, Sands Group, Wynn, Caesars Entertainment...... These groups all have five-star hotels under their hands, and if Shi Hu's hotel is built, he will join the ranks.

Although he is at the bottom of the line, he is also a tycoon after all.

Coupled with his recent actions, he played MGM a hand, bought two hotels on the side of Long Street, and later reconciled with MGM and reached a cooperation. Lightning-fast performance, less than 30 years old, more than a billion net worth...... It's really noteworthy.

After some preparations, Shi Hu, who was in a suit and dress, took Erica to the meeting.

The location of the newly built Wynn Resort belongs to the father of the casino - Steve. Wayne's Industries. Shi Hu revisited his deeds, personality, and attitude towards online gambling in the car...... Be prepared. The journey is short, 10 minutes to the Wynn Hotel.

As soon as Shi Hu got out of the car, someone stepped forward, mentioned the names of the two of them, and after getting a nod, he led them to the area where the exchange meeting was held, obviously putting a lot of effort.

The banquet hall was already full of people, people gathered in twos and threes, and the conversation was not loud.

Erica glanced down at her outfit a few times, and tonight she had put a lot of thought into it, wearing a necklace and earrings in addition to an elegant and proper dress, and spraying perfume that she didn't usually use. Shi Hu knew that her expectations for this exchange meeting were even higher than her own.

Shi Hu turned to her and said, "I need your help." ”

"I will." She nodded slightly. The two get along tacitly, and Shi Hu knows that the way to give her confidence is not to comfort her, but to let her play a role.

She took him by the arm and stepped on the carpet to join the crowd.

Shi Hu greets his acquaintances. Anyway, I have been mixed for more than a year, and I have a relationship with Paul in front of him, and he maintains this friendship with many of his peers, and he still has some connections. A little stranger is politicians, Shi Hu doesn't deal much with politicians, which is also one of his shortcomings.

During the warm-up time, everyone can have a cocktail and chat casually.

Shi Hu chatted with his old friends in groups, but "easy" was not very talkative, this time for a very controversial topic: online gambling.

Erica has introduced that the casino tycoons are divided into two factions: for and against.

The opposing side is Sheldon. Led by Adelson and particularly emotionally intense, he established a lobbying coalition to "stop online gambling", with former governors, senators, mayors and other politicians as the leaders of his organization; On the other hand, Steve Brown. Wayne and MGM Hotels & Resorts are the main ones.

Both gangs are the bosses of the casino, and this exchange is difficult to keep peaceful.

As for the other casino owners, large and small, they are responsible for watching the show. Regardless of which side the camp is, it has little impact on the outcome. Everyone is curious about Shi Hu's attitude, after all, he is the most powerful young man, the future tycoon, and his attitude also has some influence.

Shi Hu didn't talk much about it, and didn't show his attitude for the time being.

Online gambling is both good and bad for tycoons, the advantage is that they can use the funds to expand the casino operation, and the disadvantage is also because of this, there may be more competitors. Although Bo-Cai is not the only revenue of the casino, it still accounts for 30%, which is a large piece of profit.

"Tiger. Mr. Stone. ”

Shi Hu turned around when he heard the sound, and several gentlemen came with female companions.

The first one is Henry. Hotman, the director of MGM Hotel Group, Shi Hu's last cooperation with MGM was facilitated by him, and the long-faced old man with a smile next to him? After Shi Hu shook hands with Hortman, the other party introduced: "Steve. Mr. Wayne. ”

"Hello young man!" Wayne smiled and shook his hand.

Shi Hu also smiled: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wayne." Wynn Resort is the most comprehensive and sophisticated entertainment complex I've ever seen. ”

Shi Hu's words were temporarily popularized by Erica in the car, so after shaking hands, he specially introduced Erica: "This is Erica. Miss Li, my most effective assistant. ”

Erica was surprised that Shi Hu would solemnly introduce her, in this case, she should have shaken hands with the tycoons opposite...... But she reacted quickly, and as a woman, she took the initiative to reach out and shake Mr. Wayne's hand: "Your resort model is also the goal of our learning." ”

Wayne said, "I knew Miss Lee was the support behind Mr. Stone, the same two young men. I see a lot of courage in you. ”

To be able to praise the father of the casino in this way, although there may be polite elements, but it is indeed a pride for her who devotes herself to and loves this industry.

Despite the abundance of inner activity, the conversation on both sides was smooth. Henry. Hotman is Shi Hu's partner, Hotman and Wayne seem to have a good relationship, there are acquaintances to match, the topic is not so dry, and Wayne likes to study Chinese culture.

Wayne's Wynn Macau, which opened last year, has a huge Chinese market that accounts for half of the group's profits, and it's not uncommon to focus on China and its culture. Shi Hu has an innate advantage, even if he talks nonsense, Wayne will believe it...... So the exchange was pleasant. (To be continued.) )
