The style of the hotel is an important issue.

Investing in such a huge industry originated from Shi Hu's original dream of becoming a gambling god, and now that it is coming, his ideas have also become finer. He naturally hopes that the hotel can be liked by people, and the surplus of customers is the greatest affirmation for him. Billions of dollars are thrown, and no one wants to be wasted.

Although Shi Hu is not a designer, he has an imagination, and he can depict the main elements that make designers scratch their heads...... In recent days, he has been flying planes, flying freely in the sky, stimulating more imagination for himself.

Recently, he has been busy with a series of things, but he has neglected flight training, and the matter of instrument certification has not been completed, so he can only continue to fly. Although he considered himself to be very good at his skills, he often flew high into the air, weaving between the clouds without the need for visual sight.

The sky has been going back and forth for a few days, and the pressure accumulated over the past few days has been released, and the mind is much more open-minded. After a circle, he turned around and returned to the sky above the city, circling back and forth around the city center, looking at the long street lined with high-rise buildings below, and looking at his own piece of dream land.

Novelty is a major feature of the architecture of the casino. All kinds of exaggerations and eye-catching abound: pyramids, Venice, the Eiffel Tower...... His future plans also have to have outstanding features, and if they are built in a modern style, they may not be suitable for Las Vegas.

The modern style can be placed in the center of Manhattan and Los Angeles, but it is not suitable for the casino, and the architecture of the casino must be unique and bizarre. When he came back in a circle, he had gone out of the modern style, and he had to go postmodern, which is called more futuristic elements.

What are the distinguishing features of the future?

With the depletion of oil, we will enter the era of clean energy - environmental protection. Right! Environmental protection is a gimmick, although brightly lit casinos have little to do with energy savings. As a result, reclaimed water, self-generating facilities, and air recycling systems ...... It's all necessary.

The future has to be cool. Watching those sci-fi movies, those that belong to the future are concise and have obvious color contrasts, which make people immediately distinguish from other hotels in the casino at a glance and have a deep memory; The second is the sense of science and technology, using more light and shadow effects, touch, sensing and other equipment.

In fact, these two points alone can lead to a whole lot of concepts.

Shi Hu turned around and left after being asked by the controller why he repeatedly wandered in the air of the casino. I guess I misunderstood that I had another purpose, and I wanted the plane to hit the building or something. After leaving, he had a flash of inspiration: combining the above ideas, and being able to accommodate it, isn't the spaceship just right?

Far from being a monstrous fighter jet-based spaceship, it has to have a geometric aesthetic, like a flying saucer like a disc? The central symmetry, which is itself a sci-fi element, could not be more appropriate. But the disc ship is slightly occluded, and it is better to hollow out the middle and turn it into a doughnut?

Because it is a flying saucer, it is too low, and the surrounding buildings are dozens of stories high, and it is easy to ignore in the traffic of the avenue. From the perspective of residence, the flying saucer only has one side facing the sun, which is not suitable. Swap to a donut spaceship, it has two sunny faces and can stack very high.

Shi Hu had a little idea.

……

When the plane landed, Shi Hu found that there were a lot of people in the club, and when he came down, he found Fred: "What activity?" ”

"Aerobatic plane!" Fred pointed to several onlookers in front of him: "Extra-EA300 and Su-26, new aircraft for the club." ”

Shi Hu looked ahead, EA300 he knew very little, but the name of the Su-26 had been heard, although the name was very close to the Su-27, but it was not a fighter, just a single-engine propeller fixed-wing aircraft, which was completely different from the "Soviet-style fighter" with a terrifying fighting atmosphere.

However, if we take the Su-27 and Su-26, which are known for their maneuverability, stunts, the Su-27 can only be an apprentice on the sidelines -- the overload of the aerobatic aircraft can often reach 10 g, and it can also make many difficult maneuvers that fighters cannot do, just like the difference between an athlete and an armed soldier.

To be able to get a former Soviet aircraft like the Su-26, which has been discontinued, the Flamingo Club is quite capable. Shi Hu is also a stunt enthusiast, and has used his own plane to perform actions such as plundering and rolling, but he does not dare to compare with aerobatic planes, they specialize in this.

A group of flying friends watched the artifact, but unfortunately there was no performance plan today, but the pilot flew for about ten minutes, performing several difficult actions and town scenes. It is said that Fred, who is very strong, did not take it, but talked about the theory: aerobatics can pave the way for piloting fighter planes.

"Are you really going to be supersonic?" Shi Hu smiled.

Fred was serious: "Why not? Challenging the limit is my pleasure, I have played parachuting, gliding, deep diving, jet fighters have also tried, F104, F15 are quite good, but the United States does not allow supersonic, I am now almost using modern fighters supersonic. ”

"Crazy!" Shi Hu admired him.

Fred smiled and said, "I haven't been training lately, are you busy?" ”

"There's a lot of stuff going on, family, investments, and so on." Shi Hu watched while talking, witnessing the ultra-low-altitude flying aerobatic plane, estimated to be more than two meters from the ground, and the speed was very fast.

"Oh, I remember!" Fred looked at him and said in a positive tone, "You're the guy who bought the original Broadway casino and the surrounding area, right?" ”

"It's me." Shi Hu wondered that he would know.

"I'll just say it!" Fred smiled knowingly, "Take food from MGM's mouth, and let it play for those old guys in Las Vegas, the company is really out of talent!" ”

Shi Hu listened to his tone and guessed: "It has something to do with you?" ”

"You don't know?" Fred looked at him, "My family's company owns a stake in MGM Hotels & Resorts, and it's interested in your new rival. ”

"Hahaha." Shi Hu could only laugh, what else could he say besides the fact that the casino was really small?

But MGM is very big, half of the hotels on Long Street belong to it, and the number of shareholders is naturally large, Shi Hu only remembered when he heard him mention it, the Hortman Fund seems to hold a lot of shares, it is the top three shareholders, and they also have a lot of shares in casino hotels.

Shi Hu's fist is probably beaten to his friend.

Fred doesn't care, MGM is not his family alone, the tycoon who constantly tosses MGM Hotel Group and MGM Pictures, so that they are devastated by their vitality: Cork Kirklian has the main say, and perhaps this change can make him more sober.

Fred kindly said: "MGM is keen to invest in the hotel industry, and if you don't plan to run it wholly owned, I'm sure you'll need a stake in this kind of large group, whether it's business experience, connections from all walks of life, or dealing with politics." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, and I hope we can work together." Shi Hu has long known this, just to apply for a gambling license, there are many detours, a foreigner, want to do this in Las Vegas? If there is no local relationship, it is estimated that it will be very suspenseful.

……

Shi Hu brought the idea of the "Spaceship Hotel" to Erica.

He took a few pieces of paper, drew a doughnut on it, and then gave her his idea with relish, looking down: "The sketch may be a little unvivid, but environmental protection and coolness are its main features, and it has an extremely futuristic feeling, which is clearly distinguishable from its opponents." ”

Erica thought for a moment, then nodded: "Great idea, this kind of futuristic style is something that has never been seen in a casino, and the market will demand it." ”

"So the problem now is finding a designer who can satisfy me, and it's quite complicated." Shi Hu put the drawings ...... The straw paper was handed to her.

Erica accepted it, and Shi Hu said: "The plan for the new hotel will definitely consume a lot of manpower, and you will definitely not be enough to have an assistant." Your talents have to be used in important areas, so I'm planning to have Stone International set up an office in Las Vegas in the near future and recruit more people. ”

Erica said, "I agree. Both Onyx and the hotel need administrative, financial and legal staff, which can be relocated to other businesses in the future. ”

"One last point. Our old rivals...... It's not really, I guess people don't regard us as opponents at all, it's MGM, maybe there will be cooperation in the future, let your subordinates pay attention, the hostility has been lifted, and we have to use a welcome smile for our partners. ”

Shi Hu squeezed out a smile, and Erica shook her head: "It's fake." ”

"That's pretty much it—is it really fake?" Shi Hu picked up the mirror and bared his teeth to take a look, but Erica couldn't help but laugh.
