Stuffing the large bags and small bags of the harvest into the trunk of the car, holding a cup of drink, Nana, who was still full of energy, asked for the next stop...... But it's not shopping, Shi Hu's legs are soft, Nana is soft-hearted, so she let him go. It wasn't too late, so Shi Hu drove her around.

Los Angeles (the metropolis) seems to be very large, but they are all the same, the normal environment and the scenery are in Santa Monica and Hollywood, and the essence of eating, drinking and playing in Los Angeles is concentrated here. Shi Hu drove west along Santa Monica Avenue and took a ride.

The weather was not cold, Shi Hu simply opened the canopy, a pair of sunglasses per person, and by the way, he also gave Nana a tour guide, introducing some Hollywood or regional culture on both sides, rock bars, nightclubs or famous specialty shops, Nana listened with relish.

Once in Hollywood, make a U-turn from Sunset Boulevard to home, which is also full of unique local characteristics, but it hits the rush traffic, which is a bit of a test of patience and the shortcomings of sports car comfort. What's more comfortable is that the drivers are quite well-behaved.

Shi Hu casually mentioned: "Prompted by the general environment, the overall quality of Americans is quite good. ”

Nana just wanted to nod, then she heard a horn behind her, a Chevrolet SUV saw the stitches, and overtook one after another from the auxiliary road next to it, rumbling music was playing in the car, and several young boys shook their heads with disdain for the world...... Shi Hu Khan: "Of course, there are exceptions. ”

Nana laughed: "It's funny! ”

"The question of quality is still different from person to person, so take care of yourself." Shi Hu did his brother's duty.

After leaving the Hollywood area, traffic resumes smoothly, whether it's Santa Monica Boulevard or Sunset Boulevard, which passes through Beverly Hills, and the unique affluent neighborhood environment is also reflected in the road: spacious, tree-lined and much better, and finally up the hill.

Shi Yuanchao, who had woken up, heard the sound and came out to take a look.

Dad is a person who understands cars, and he knows that it is not simple to listen to the sound of the engine: "Ferrari? It's rare in China! ”

Shi Hu slammed the accelerator, and the roar could be heard even at the foot of the mountain, and he said: "5.7 displacement, the oil tiger with 12 cylinders, driving it in the city is like a fuel tank leaking." The horsepower and torque are more than 500, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is four seconds, are you interested in trying? ”

"He doesn't have a driver's license!" Nana reminded.

Shi Yuanchao smiled: "Your father's memory is not bad to this extent!" ”

Shi Hu got out of the car: "I heard that there is a driver's license notarization in China, but it doesn't matter, go to the next city, and I'll drive you a car with more horsepower." ”

Shi Yuanchao was interested: "What car?" ”

"Lamborghini, it's quite rare in China......" Shi Hu chatted with him and walked, both old and young like cars, and there are a lot of performance data, talking non-stop.

The first night in Los Angeles was spent in a variety of novelties.

The next day to continue the tour, Shi Hu replaced the sports car with a Mercedes-Benz, after all, the sports car can only seat two people, the space is small, the suspension is not comfortable, the SUV is a travel weapon, Shi Hu took them to the fun attractions of Los Angeles, leaving a lot of photos and laughter.

Time is limited, I didn't experience all the projects completely, the two old people still have things to do in China, the purpose of coming here is not only to accompany Nana, but also to see Shi Hu's working environment, they will go back after a few days. As for Nana, of course, she spent the whole winter vacation with her brother.

So after three days of visiting Los Angeles, I flew to Las Vegas.

This drunken city is full of extravagance: casino hotels everywhere, flashing neon lights, sexy advertising girls. Before coming to the casino, Shi Hu specially vaccinated them, explaining that things such as strip performances in the United States are normal.

Casinos operated by Native Americans in Nevada and other concessions are also legal; A brothel with a long history, and it's no surprise in Nevada...... Nana didn't sound like much, she had already learned about the name of the "Sin Capital" from the Internet.

And the two parents firmly believe that US imperialism is the source of all evil and depravity.

Shi Yuanchao also said: "This casino is also suitable for people like you who like to delve into crooked ways." ”

"What do you mean by crooked ways?" Shi Hu rolled his eyes, "I'm in a serious business, and the hotel also donates millions to charitable organizations every year!" ”

Nana looked out the window and read the name of the huge billboard on the Maxim podium: "Red Queen Club, what does the 'strip' in the middle mean, brother?" ”

Nana's diligence and studious made Shi Hu sweat: "Striptease." ”

"Ahh Nana smiled, "Maxim? It's such a tall building, it's what you won? ”

The second elder also looked out the window, although the appearance is not as good as those eye-catching hotels on both sides of the long street, but it is not too bad, the geographical location is not weak, from a distance is a long building, more than ten floors high, golden-white paint, catering to the extravagant style of the casino.

The limousine stopped at the door, the waiter took the luggage, and they walked into the glittering lobby, immediately amazed by the luxury, and when they passed the overcrowded casino, they were once again shocked by the tinkling of countless traffic lights and slot machines, as if they were in a movie.

Shi Hu slowed down and walked with them, he could understand this mentality - it was the same when he first came to Las Vegas, he felt very curious, very provocative, and everything around him was so high-minded...... But after getting acquainted, my eyes are also picky, and luxury is just like that.

Waiting for the elevator and coming to the suite on the top floor, Shi Yuanchao came back to his senses and said, "If this is placed in China, the specifications are already five-star standards, right?" ”

Shi Hu nodded: "Of course, but there are too many peers here, you just saw those top hotels on both sides of the avenue, they are beautiful enough, right?" There are also many that are 4 stars. ”

They only think of one word: crazy.

……

After settling into the hotel, the energetic Nana continued to pester him.

"I'm going to the casino!"

Shi Hu, who loved her very much, shook his head this time: "Under the age of eighteen, you are not allowed to go to the casino, and if you are not under the age of twenty-one, you are not allowed to drink!" Don't blame brother, American rules. ”

Nana snorted and was unhappy, and said, "Then go to the show!" ”

"What show?" Mom asked.

"Nothing!" Shi Hu answered first, glared at her, and said, "Even if it's singing, you won't like it if you roar." ”

They really don't like it, if they know what Nana means to watch the show, which refers to the kind of sky show, restrictive stripping, even Nana can't like it......

Of course, Shi Hu diverted the topic, and Nana was happy.

Later, the second elder went to inspect Shi Hu's working environment, the noisy casino, and people from all walks of life gathered; In the noisy nightclub, my dad just saw the striptease sign at the door, so he twisted my mother's ears and took it away...... However, the hotel's cafeteria, the Chinese restaurant is the most pleasing.

As for Nana, Shi Hu introduced her to Erica.

Nana was finally able to communicate normally with people other than her family, and she usually spoke English quite slipperily, but when she heard it in the United States, she had a lot of accents and slang, and she didn't react after others finished speaking, which seriously hit her confidence...... Erica is finally able to take care of her alien vulnerability.

Shi Hu threw her to Erica: "Brother still has something, you play with this sister first, it's no problem to call Erica and Ali." ”

Nana nodded, "I will." ”

Shi Hu went to deal with his own affairs, and Paul had something to ask him for.

Paul, the second largest shareholder, has not appeared for some time, and the call passed, this guy is in Bellagio. When Shi Hu got there, he was watching a poker match, and there were only two people, a man and a woman, with a lot of chips, and there were 10 million by sight.

After Shi Hu sat down, Paul said: "It's the fifth game, and it is estimated that she will continue to win." ”

"What's her coming from?" Shi Hu didn't know much about the poker player's circle, and he hadn't wanted to deal with professionals since Paul pulled him on a black market gambling boat.

"The little girl who suddenly appeared is said to have a high IQ and can use mathematical models and statistics to defeat any professional master within a certain period of time."

"Winning all the time?" Shi Hu heard him say that it was the fifth game just now.

"That's right." Paul's eyes were fixed on the court, and the male player called the re-bet, and then the final river card reversed the outcome, and he lost half of his chips.

"Daniel planted." Paul shook his head.

Shi Hu has also seen this man on TV, he belongs to the top masters, if it is just by skill, Shi Hu, who has no mind reading skills, meets the other party just to deliver food, but at this time he is controlled by a strange woman who has never heard of it, and he really fell eyeballs.

Paul understood what he was thinking: "Yes, when she challenged, everyone thought it was incredible, it was stupid to rush to challenge the Shark, but she did, and won four in a row, and if Daniel couldn't adjust, he was the fifth master to fall." ”

Although Shi Hu is not involved in the professional poker world, he is also curious.

The woman's appearance is average, perhaps because she doesn't wear much makeup, and the "little girl" is said from Paul's point of view, and she is estimated to be in her thirties. Nor is it a trained poker face, occasionally frowning and yawning - a mind-reading technique shows that she is making quick calculations and deductions, combining the cards in her hand, and then making choices that obey probability again and again according to the opponent's shaped play.

Shi Hu gave up mind reading, the numbers are too messy!

"What do you feel?" Paul knew he had a keen sense.

"It's a little bit ......," Shi Hu pondered the English vocabulary, "It's a bit like a computer working, formulating different strategies according to the changes of the opponent." ”

"Awesome!" Paul admired his acumen and said, "That little girl, Rosenstein is said to have used a computer to count the hands played by top players, and after a lot of simulations, he came up with a complex model, using this model, according to the opponent's style, method, to develop different strategies, and take into account themselves and the probability of the hand type as a reference, there are almost no players who cannot beat." ”

"Then she must be rich." Shi Hu said that the amount of computing to get the model cannot be done by a household microcomputer, unless it is a small computer, and it takes a lot.

Paul nodded: "The Rosenstein family is engaged in the field of electronic information. ”

Shi Hu said: "I'm afraid it's hanging, a lady who is likely to be super intelligent, comparable to the brain of a computer, using complex models to slaughter giant sharks." ”

Paul said, "It doesn't matter if you lose, no one is sure to win." But she told everyone that poker can be beaten using the scientific method, which pretty much denies the industry as a whole. ”

"You want me to play with her?" Shi Hu read it out.
