The www.biquge.info traveled from North America to Europe, and in the future, the ship will sail in Asia...... His goal has been to become more than just a casino tycoon, it has expanded to the world.
When the world's tycoons are still very difficult, Shi Hu's current wish is to be able to successfully complete the Las Vegas project, which is currently ready to go out of business, and the next step is to convene the construction team, which is expected to blast the construction in September and launch the "Future Center" plan.
In order to raise sufficient funds, Shi Hu is now focusing on the research work of Onix, and the activation of the immune system by self-healing factors is enough to subvert modern medical cognition. He has a personal instinct that he is not far from success, and with a little effort, he may be able to achieve it.
The days were repeated like this, and Shi Hu devoted himself to research and pursued money; Nana also continued her language training, watching the TV news every day and insisting on talking to friends; Erica served as her teacher, allowing her to integrate into the American environment, and the progress was palpable.
At the end of the month, Nana, who had been in the United States for two months, set off for home.
This time, there was no reluctance to say goodbye, Shi Hu accompanied her back was originally scheduled, and Erica also accompanied her on the road - at Nana's invitation and curiosity about China, she and Shi Hu went to get a visa and embarked on the journey to this mysterious oriental country together.
Although Erica has been to China, it was when she was a child, and now she has stepped into this land again, and her feelings are no different from that of foreigners. She was dressed in casual clothes, sneakers, a bag, and a camera to shoot around. Although I can speak some Chinese, there are also many novelties.
At least she doesn't know much about the square words that are extremely similar in the eyes of foreigners.
walked and played all the way, and only returned to Shi Hu's house two days later.
The parents at home have been preparing for a long time, this is not that I heard that Shi Hu is going to bring a girl back, and the thoughts of being parents are complicated, Shi Hu repeatedly explained that it was just a friend's words, which was completely regarded as a deaf ear. When they got home, the enthusiasm, the invitation and greeting, the girl had not yet sat down. What do you like to eat, where are you and how long are you going to stay...... Shi Hu Khan: "Can you two slow down?" ”
Erica explains: "I can only understand slow Chinese and simple. ”
Mom didn't mind: "It's okay, it's great to be able to speak, we thought we were going to learn a word or two of trendy English." ”
"You're cute." Erica said.
"Ouch. We're all fifty or sixty old guys, and we're cute, this girl! Mom smiled and said to Dad, who also felt very fresh.
"East-West differences." Shi Hu explained, "Also, can you not rectify this kind of situation of the aunt of the neighborhood committee checking the household registration?" It's going to make her nervous. ”
Mom smiled: "Don't say it, you're hungry after a long journey, right?" I prepared some dishes for you. ”
Nana went to the table and took a look, surprised: "Wow, such a hearty one!" Dislike. You haven't treated your daughters so well......"
"The girl is a foreign guest, a distinguished guest." Shi Yuanchao said.
"Maybe it's something to do with your brother." Mom also squeezed over and said.
Nana's mouth kept talking: "Then you have to treat me well, I have the best relationship with Ali, just my brother's wood, without my help, can they have a show?" ”
Shi Hu was speechless on the side and looked at Erica: "Chinese habits, just ignore them appropriately." ”
"It's okay, it's a warm family." Erica didn't mind and said to him in English: "It feels like your family cares about your relationship problems. ”
"Since I graduated. I say it every time I get home. Shi Hu was helpless, the parents of this era were like this, looking forward to their children starting a family.
"Stressful, isn't it?" Erica felt fun.
"Headache." Shi Hu nodded, "Why don't you help me?" ”
"How can I help?" Erica smiled. He's helped with this before.
……
Sightseeing, enjoying the scenery, Shi Hu, who was too lazy to be said by his family, took Erica to walk around.
There is a lake near Shihu's hometown, and a park has been built in front of it, with green grass and blue sky, and the lake reflects the mountains and forests. It is very characteristic of China.
The two of them were lying on the lawn, their heads resting in a daze.
"I really want to have a house in this kind of place, and quietly take it all in." Erica looked at the view, and her whole body relaxed.
"Your dream?" Shi Hu asked.
"Sort of, sooner or later it will be quiet one day, with family and friends." "But I can't stop at the moment, there's a lot going on." ”
"You don't have to bear my pressure." Shi Hu said.
"No, I think it's my dream." She smiled and turned to look at him, "I want to make it happen and see it grow as much as you do." ”
Shi Hu looked into her eyes, had something to say but couldn't say, and finally said, "Thank you." ”
"It feels good." She smiled.
……
After returning to the casino, September arrived.
Erica began to get busy, taking graduate courses and presiding over the overall situation of the company; And Shi Hu continued to research, he wanted to earn tens of billions of dollars once and for all, establish the future center, and then use the remaining money (as well as loans) to buy MGM, Sands, Wynn......
Well, maybe not enough money, because it's pretty much buying the entire casino.
But people have to have dreams to fight.
During his dream, Shi Hu received a strange call.
"Hello?"
"Tiger, it's me." A woman's voice came from the phone, "Natalia. ”
"Oh...... Long time no see, how's it going? ”
Natalia's voice was a little hurried: "I found something for you recently." ”
"What?" Shi Hu didn't understand.
"Your mother's clue." Natalia said that the sound of a car came from the receiver, and she seemed to be talking on the phone while driving, "I noticed something abnormal." ”
"Exactly?" Shi Hu couldn't help but be curious.
"Ulyana Beteyeva is dead." Natalia said again.
"What!" Shi Hu stood up in surprise, "When?" ”
Natalia was calm: "It's not the Betyeva you know, I mean in the photo, she died before the collapse of the Soviet Union." ”
Shi Hu couldn't understand: "Then this now?" ”
"She's a fake!" Natalia brings the truth. "Recently I found out that she appeared in Russia, I followed her, and then got into trouble, and one of my accomplices had an accident."
"Oh my God!" Shi Hu really admired her, "You don't have to fight so hard, I don't care about my life experience." Protect yourself first! ”
"I know." Natalia said, her voice pausing for a few seconds and adding, "Looks like someone is following me, oops!" ”
Shi Hu had a headache: "Can I help you?" ”
"No, you don't." Natalia said. "Finally, the current Beteyeva is a stand-in for a large plastic surgery, and I want to go to her plastic surgeon."
"No wonder." Shi Hu also felt that her expression and facial features were a little stiff.
"There is one more guess. She is so familiar with Betyeva's origins, temperament. It must be someone close to him, but the circle of KGB agents is very small, and there are not many who can trust each other, I guess they are from the same operation group, and two of the three people in the last photo are dead. Of course, it is not excluded that there are other situations, she has other friends and so on. That's all I know so far - see you next time! ”
She hung up the phone, leaving Shi Hu with a strange face.
He opened the drawer and pulled out a photograph of three women in a couple of books: the real Beteyeva, the deceased accomplice, Grinskaya.
His mixed feelings...... Indescribable. I watched it for a few minutes. Finally tore the photo apart...... It has nothing to do with him, he just wants to leave what he hopes to achieve in his limited life, which can bring joy to relatives and friends, and no longer touch sadness.
……
The heat of mid-September subsided a bit, and the project began in full swing.
Shi Hu also specially selected the day to visit the blasting ceremony from a distance. The site that Shi Hu had bought had ceased operations as early as last week, emptied the last of its valuable trades, moved in with the construction company moving in, and is carrying out blasting operations today. Officially started.
It was surrounded on all sides, some police officers were also on duty in the surrounding area, Shi Hu and a group of important people were all present, and the hotel, which is expected to cost more than $3 billion. The first phase of funding has been prepared. The original plan remained unchanged, with Shihu holding 60% of the shares, MGM 25%, Jinsha 10%, 35% of the remaining shareholders, and the remaining 15% belonging to the original minority shareholders of the hotel and land. They didn't sell all their shares.
With the sound of rumbling explosions, the hotel buildings collapsed one after another, and a total of four buildings were all removed, and the scene was filled with dust in less than three minutes, but the previous environmental protection work was properly prepared, and the dust did not permeate the entire casino. Soon, the pollution was gone.
After the completion of this ceremony, the construction of the Future Center is scheduled to officially begin.
Everyone evacuated the scene, and Erica also presided over a meeting on the latest design plan, which was also a form of publicity for the public, and the media were present. She was preparing in the background, reading the speech several times, and when Shi Hu came, she was taking a deep breath.
"Keep your mind straight and you'll play well." Shi Hu leaned against the door and said.
"I will." She looked at herself in the mirror.
"It's not a big deal, you'll get used to it in the future." Shi Hu stepped forward and naturally helped her sort out her clothes.
Erica looked at him, and Shi Hu said, "What's the matter, I'm not used to being so caring?" ”
"It feels good." She enjoyed.
"You represent my attitude, Madam Principal Assistant." Shi Hu said seriously that he was gradually pushing her to the forefront, letting her be on her own.
"I won't let you down." She looked at him.
"I know." Shi Hu looked at her for a few seconds, he staggered his gaze and held her shoulder: "Let yourself relax, and talk about other things later." ”
"Hmm." She closed her eyes.
Five minutes later, the press conference took place.
Erica appeared in professional attire, with a light blue slim blazer, knee-length skirt and moderately tall shoes, adding a bit of managerial charm to her. With her introduction and the projected pictures, the concrete ideas of the future center project were shown to the audience.
"The hotel will adopt a post-modern style, a circular building with a large number of futuristic elements, and the rules are aimed at the highest five-star, with a total of 22 floors and 6,055 rooms, which will be the hotel with the largest number of rooms in Las Vegas, and it will have 620,000 square meters of commercial area ......"
Shi Hu listened quietly in the audience, this will be another crazy hotel plan in Las Vegas, the investment is expected to be between 3 billion and 4 billion US dollars, setting a record for the highest investment in a casino hotel, the first hotel to show the future style, and at the same time will generate tens of thousands of jobs.
Behind this series is burning money and gambling, people's eyes can't help but focus on the new Chinese billionaire in the casino, betting on Las Vegas, whether it can succeed There are too many debates, but MGM invests vigorously, Sands is optimistic, enough to show its extraordinary potential.
For success or failure, Shi Hu has nothing to answer, and the projected renderings are his self-confidence. Surrounded by greenery, a ring-shaped building that looks like a futuristic spaceship, a future Las Vegas tycoon, and the new favorite of Las Vegas customers...... Dreams have given wings.
