Chapter 105: Preemptive Planning
Madeleine Rosenstein struggled to accept the fact that Shi Hu had done the work that a computer could only crack with a human brain β she knew better than anyone how much work it would take to simplify a model, but she thought it would take supercomputing to get it out of her style in just three days.
Only a supercomputer can analyze every trace of the model she uses from thousands of clues, so as to reorganize it in reverse, master her methods, and then confuse her in turn and turn the tide of battle...... If so, Madeleine is facing a "humanoid supercomputer".
It's a pity it's not...... Shi Hu is not so godly, his head is indeed running at high load for three consecutive days, but it is still far from supercalculation, but his mind reading technique has captured the clues in Madeleine's heart to a certain extent, and then used his super high IQ to push back, and finally succeeded.
After this reversal, the hand changed dramatically: Shi Hu already understood Madeleine's calculations and could guess her hole cards - but Madeline was unable to grasp Shi Hu's weaknesses and could no longer judge Shi Hu's hole cards. Half an hour of poker is more exciting than three days.
Madeleine won the money in three days, and in just half an hour, Shi Hu was taken back, and after another half an hour, she could no longer withstand Shi Hu's devastating attack, and was forced to go all, and the small probability event did not happen, and in the end it was Shi Hu who won.
The final win was peaceful, there were no fierce duels, and the audience had predicted the outcome half an hour earlier. Madeleine's style of play is completely messed up, Shi Hu controls the overall situation, and it is only a matter of time before she is emptied. When you're done, everyone stands as a sign of respect for your players.
Madeleine glanced at the playing cards on the table and said to herself, "There is no way to win absolutely, but I didn't expect it to be cracked so quickly." β
"If you're not bold enough to challenge all the masters, it's a set of tricks that will guarantee a winning rate." Shi Hu said to her, the implication is that you are too arrogant, I know how to read minds, such a powerful trick, has not been made public, the truth of the long stream!
Madeleine laughed, "But poker is not my main business, and my model test is over, and you gave me an answer that is not too tactful." β
"Hopefully it won't bother you." Shi Hu treats friendly people, and he is also friendly: "This method is terrifying in dealing with most masters. β
"It's a pity that there are very few people in the world who can use it." Madeleine was still confident, and got up and left her seat: "You are very ...... Magical and hopefully we'll have a chance to see you again. β
"Good luck." Shi Hu told her that it would be okay to give him a few hundred million next time.
But it's unlikely, Madeleine is a scientist and not a poker player, and this time she lost 150 million, and her own part is at least 60 million, although the family is wealthy, but it is not like this...... Of course, what the ending is, Shi Hu doesn't care about her affairs at this time.
Shi Hu watched Madeleine leave, turned to face the audience, and everyone applauded him.
"You've written a legend again, kid!" Paul complimented, throwing out an invitation: "Are you really not going to be in the poker hall of fame?" β
"I don't play professionally." Shi Hu refused with a smile and looked at the people around him, "I'm afraid that from now on, I will have to reject the battle letters of many poker masters." β
"Respect your choice." Paul didn't interfere with his choice, and being a professional poker player was naturally far less ambitious than being a dealer.
"I'm losing again." Erica tells him that the loser is smiling and funny.
"Thank you for your support these days." Shi Hu said to her, grateful for her support: "That's it...... Treat, am I honored to do so? β
"Okay." She willing.
There is also Nana, the girl is not under the age of eighteen to go to the gambling, but these days she has been asking for blessings for him, Erica came home and asked her how the process was, and her concern was overflowing...... After returning victoriously, they first went shopping for half a day and chose the right clothes before going to the meeting.
Erica rarely overused herself on the street, she had to consider the jewelry and perfume for Nana, Nana is a character who can't be idle, and she also dragged her to eat, drink, and take a group photo in the middle of shopping, which inevitably took a little more time. Of course, it was successfully completed in the end, which made her feel comfortable.
Shi Hu took advantage of the privilege of platinum users to book a seat in a Michelin three-star restaurant, three-star is the highest level in the Michelin red book, the number is extremely rare, there are only about 20 three-star restaurants in the United States, and there are no in Chinese mainland, the rarity can be imagined.
You can't go to a top restaurant casually, although you don't ask for a dress, but whether it's the environment or the customers, you are very conscious to show your most elegant side. The restaurant also has a dedicated vehicle to pick up and drop off the restaurant, which is located inside the MGM Grand Hotel, and you can feel its luxury right from the door.
Shi Hu's dream is to invest in this kind of top-notch hotel, with a huge podium that concentrates the world's luxury brands, restaurants, entertainment venues, etc., just like the scale of a small city, tourists only need to stay in it, and have everything they need, without having to think about other hotels.
Erica seemed to feel his mood and smiled, "You can do it." β
Shi Hu nodded, and Nana was curious: "What?" β
"Invite two beautiful women, one big and one small, to dinner, I want to fulfill my wish." Shi Hu said with a smile, leaning sideways to give way: "Ladies, please!" β
The interior of the restaurant is superb in terms of atmosphere and color, worthy of being designed by top designers, tasting the best food in the best environment, and having beautiful people by his side, it is indeed a "must-have experience in life", allowing him to focus on the present.
The three of them sat down, Nana and Erica were on Shi Hu's left and right hands, and the ladies were all selected small dresses, beautiful jewelry and elaborate fiddling looks. The style is also completely different, on one side is youthful enthusiasm, on the other side is elegant and quiet. It's not romantic, but it's also pleasing to the eye.
"Ladies!" Shi Hu raised his glass, "I wish us a good time together." β
Nana also took a small sip of aperitif, she lied about her age, and she wore some makeup on her face, which was harmless...... But out of responsibility, Shi Hu didn't let her continue. They ordered a selection of set menus recommended by the chef, and they enjoyed the sights and tastes, and there were as many as 30 kinds of desserts to choose from after the meal, which was enough to make Nana forget the beauty of red wine, and the girl's favorite chocolates and cakes, which are too many to count......
More than three hours of wonderful feasts, exquisite meals, eating not only the food, but also the environment, is definitely an unforgettable night for the ladies. It is also a kind of satisfaction for Shi Hu, and he is willing to leave good memories for his relatives and friends.
β¦β¦
After the glitz, business continues.
The result of Shihu vs. Madeleine has spread in the poker world, and although many people want to see the battle, there is no video recording of the whole process, and it can only be imagined through the description from the mouth of the giant shark; There were also many people who wanted to play with him, but they were directly rejected by the assistant.
Erica no longer does this kind of time-wasting small thing of refusal, with the growth of Shihu's industry, he now has three assistants, and the other two handle trivial matters, Erica is more like his military advisor, and can replace him to be responsible for everything if necessary, including the operation of overseas funds now.
Erica brought the report: "With $150 million in the account, after deducting the $15 million in the agreement, you can use $235 million in funds, which are deposited in the offshore accounts of Stone International and GLX, and if you use it personally, you are a citizen of the Bahamas, and you have no personal income tax trouble." β
"Good returns, what's your plan?" Shi Hu asked.
"Here's the information." Erica sent the information forward, and it was a map with many notes next to it: "This is the latest printed satellite map of the casino." β
"The best location I selected was the complex on the left side of the long street, between Bellagio and Monte Carlo, with three businesses of different owners, and several open-air parking lots behind it, which, if available, would be one of the best in the casino."
Shi Hu looked at the map, the geographical advantage is indeed top-notch, just in the middle of the long street, next to Bellagio, above the MGM Hotel, the vehicles visiting the long street, you can see it halfway through, whether it is the location or the flow of passengers, there is no doubt.
"What's the problem?" Shi Hu knew very well that someone would definitely want to start with such a good position.
"Quote." Erica's answer was unsurprising: "The prices of these hotels are overpriced, the least is $200 million, which is already too much more than the cost, so they face an embarrassing situation: small and medium-sized investors do not have enough money, and large investors have no time to take care of it." β
"How?" Shi Hu was not very clear about the investment plan of the casino.
"The large groups of the casino are nothing more than Sands, Wynn and MGM, and the casinos on both sides of the long street are almost all the industries of the three of them, but at present, these three giants have overseas investment, such as investing in new resorts in Macau, and their capital chain is very tight and cannot be loosened for the time being."
"This is an opportunity!" Shi Hu's eyes lit up, and he had to take advantage of the time when the giants had no time to take care of it, and quickly solve the problems in the backyard of the house, otherwise when they eased up, Shi Hu thought that he would not be able to fight with the giants for financial resources, and now it is undoubtedly a time and place to go.
Erica certainly agrees: "So my idea was to invest in this hotel on the side of the long street, the parking lot in the middle, the small bar in the back and the parking lot. β
"Slash?" Shi Hu was curious about the way she was rowing diagonally, shouldn't she just finish the faΓ§ade next to the highway first?
"We don't have enough money to do it all at once." Erica points to other big hotels, "Refer to the Venetian, Caesars or MGM, which tend to be 500 to 600 meters long, 300 to 500 meters wide, about 60 acres in size, and are of five-star standard. β
Shi Hu suddenly understood: "You are so ...... Clever! Ali! β
If there is no such large scale of land occupation, a five-star hotel will naturally not be possible, Erica's diagonal line just now, it is impossible to cut off the possibility, she divided the land that was originally enough to build a five-star in two, even if the rest is bought, the scale is not large.
Erica also has a follow-up move: "In this way, we can make the giants dispel the idea of building extravagantly, and at the same time make the surrounding land prices correspondingly cold." β
Shi Hu was satisfied with her plan: "It's a good plan, and now I have enough funds, so hurry up and prepare for it, and strive to get a good start." β
His dream of being a casino tycoon is approaching, and he buys land in a prime location first, and when more money is raised, he will blast and start construction to build his dream.
