Chapter 168: Mike's New Life
Shen Long, Situ Hua and Mr. Huo were busy discussing the smuggling channel, while Ye Han participated in the tournament in the casino, and in the poker game, his level was also first-class, but unfortunately he was unlucky and was eliminated before entering the money circle, but in the exhibition match of the dice, he was in the limelight.
Now that the dice cup in Las Vegas has not been transformed, an experienced gambler like Ye Han can listen to a lot of useful information based on the sound of the dice, which allowed him to win consecutive games and win the first place in the dice competition, thus winning the title of "World Dice King" and a gold medal.
With this medal, he made a big splash in Las Vegas and became the idol of many gamblers, many people wanted to learn the technique of listening to dice with him, but unfortunately Ye Han turned his head and suggested that Shen Long transform the dice cup, which greatly weakened the sound of the dice in the dice cup, so that these gamblers' dream of making a fortune by listening to dice was in vain.
The rest of the tournament was over, with Chapter-Mauss winning the championship again, and Dantrauss also made it to the money circle with Shen Long's sponsorship, which saved him from quitting the high-stakes gambling game as in history, and he now spends his days in the Flamingo Club, honing his skills in hopes of winning the next tournament.
By the end of the tournament, the Flamingo Club's reputation had grown to the next level, and it had not only become a mecca for gamblers across the United States, but also for many foreign tourists who came to the United States to put Las Vegas and the Flamingo Club on their agendas.
"If this continues, Las Vegas will soon be able to support a second or third luxury casino, and we have to speed up the pace." Tom Hagen said with great interest, Shen Long's series of operations made him admire, the Flamingo Club had already gotten rid of losses and brought huge profits to the family.
"I'll leave these things to you to watch, the drawings of the design office will be finalized soon, and the workers will soon have work to do." The construction workers' union is also controlled by the gangs, and the average person has to spend extra money to start construction, but no construction workers' union in the United States dares to ask them for money, and many union leaders see it as a good opportunity to strengthen their relationship with the Corleone family, and they are not afraid that they will not work hard.
"Are you leaving Las Vegas? Where are you going? Is it Europe or somewhere else? Tom asked curiously, shouldn't he be in Las Vegas at this time?
"You'll be in charge of all the transactional work, I'm going to see Mike; Tell the next Chapter-Mauss and Dantraus, that they are going with me. Shen Long gave the order.
This order left Tom confused again, why did he bring two gamblers with him to visit Mike? Not only was he puzzled, but so were Mauss and Dantraus, but by the time they arrived at Columbia, the mystery was soon revealed.
"Hi Mike, these two are Honny Mauss and Nicolas Dantraus." In the hotel outside Columbia University, Shen Long introduced the two of them to Mike.
"I know that a lot of students in the school now see them as their idols." Mike shrugged, college students idolize gamblers, which is a bit of a clue what to say.
"In addition to seeing you this time, I have another thing I want to cooperate with your school." Shen Long said what he meant, "Your school's mathematics department seems to be pretty good, I want to find a professor, and the two of them will work together to publish a monograph on poker, which studies the probability of winning in poker from a scientific perspective and practicality." ”
Although the mathematics department of Columbia University is not as good as the mathematics department of Princeton and Harvard, it is not difficult to deal with this small problem at all.
Since then, there have been many monographs on poker games, such as Doyle Bronson's "Super System" on Texas Hold'em, Ben Mozridge's "Winning 21", Edward Thorpe's "Beat the Banker", and so on.
Many gamblers, after poring over these books, think they've found the true meaning of winning at the poker table, rush to Las Vegas with their money, and lose it all...... Producing these books in advance can attract more people to gamble in Las Vegas, which is good for your business.
Moreover, it is possible to make a lot of money just by selling books, and now that Chapter-Mauss and Dantrauss are at their most famous, publishing books under their names is sure to become bestsellers.
"It's an interesting study, and I think there will be professors who are willing, and I'll go to the mathematics department and ask in a while." Mike readily agreed, and soon found a suitable person, and let him go to the next room with Chapter-Maoss and Dantrauss to study the game of poker, while Mike stayed here and talked to Shen Long about his recent life.
"Mr. Eisenhower, who still retains the title of presidential adviser, needs to go to Washington frequently to discuss state affairs, and it is difficult for professors to see him; However, he can use his fame to bring a lot of donations to the school, so the professors have no choice but to say anything; He also used to take me with me to watch the students' sports games and talk to them cordially, and the students liked him, saying, 'The headmasters in the past were too sanctimonious to be as kind as Ike.' Ike was Eisenhower's nickname.
"Being close to the people is an essential quality for a politician, and he is worth learning from in this regard." Shen Long reminded.
"Yes, how to put it, he's the kind of person who can easily gain the favor of others, and I'm working this, so as long as I'm not too busy, I go back to the stadium and play a few games with the students, listen to their suggestions for the school, and then sort out a few new rules based on those suggestions, and submit them to Ike, and the response is very good." Mike has progressed very quickly, and he has gradually adapted to being a politician.
"Now that the United States and some Western European countries are preparing to establish a military cooperation organization against the Red Empire, Eisenhower is likely to go to Europe to occupy important positions in this organization." A little more than a year later, Eisenhower will leave France to take up NATO's position as Allied Commander in Europe, "and you can use this time to increase your contacts with the big businessmen and make a strong enough impression in front of them to pave the way for your future." ”
Mike used to be a soldier, if he was in the past, he would definitely prefer to follow Eisenhower to Europe, but after seeing the truth of American politics, he was more interested in political games, so he agreed without hesitation, and he now has great trust in Shen Long's prediction.
