Chapter 164: Kidnapping
"This year's preparation was too hasty, and the reputation was not outstanding, so only two were invited, Sonny Mauss and Nicolas Dantraus, and when we wait for next year, we welcome gamblers from all over the world to come to the Flamingo Club and sign up for the competition, which will be bigger next year, with more prize money and more perfect rules." Tom Hagen spoke eloquently in front of reporters, describing the bright future of the World Championship of Gamblers.
In the future, the world's three major poker tournaments will attract countless enthusiasts every year, often with prize money as high as tens of millions of dollars, and each final table will attract multiple TV stations to bid for it, becoming a huge cash cow, and Shen Long certainly refuses to let go of this opportunity to take this cash cow into his own.
"This tournament is not only good for us, but also for the whole of Las Vegas, and our goal is to make Las Vegas the number one casino in the world and a mecca for gamblers around the world." In order to alleviate the hostility of other casinos in Las Vegas, Tom also made a special explanation.
If only the Flamingo Club is the only one in Las Vegas, it is not a good thing, and the future of Las Vegas will be brighter only if more large-scale high-end casinos are established.
During the time when Chaptere Mauss and Nicholas Dantrauss gambled of the century, not only was the Flamingo Club full every day, but the business of other casinos was also much better, and I believe they could see this.
This game has brought a huge boost to the local economy of Las Vegas, and the local officials are also very supportive of it, Shen Long got a few gambling cards from them by the way, and then he is ready to build a new large casino, but this time he has to find a suitable person in charge of engineering, and when he thinks of this, he actually misses Mo Green a little.
But it doesn't matter, when he was in Macau, he visited the Lisboa Hotel, Sands International Hotel and other large casinos in detail, and checked some of the world's famous casinos before coming, as long as he found the right design and construction company, he could realize those world-renowned super casinos in the future.
Shen Long took out the concept plan of the Venetian Casino and Caesars Palace Casino in the future, and handed it over to the design company, so that they were responsible for the realization of their own plans, the style of these two casinos is completely different from the Flamingo Club, but they are the same high-end atmosphere and grade, integrating many architectural psychology elements, so that gamblers will fall into the environment of paper fans as soon as they come in, and devote themselves to gambling and enjoyment.
"Dear Don Corleone, I didn't expect you to have such a talent for publicity, and it seems that we will need your opinion in the course of the future presidential campaign." George Tormond rushed to Las Vegas and said to Shen Long, this sensational gamble of the century made him discover a shining point in Shen Long.
"It's my pleasure." The closer you can get to these people, the greater the chance of the Corleone family to launder their money, and opening a casino is nothing to them, *** ran a casino in Atlantic City in his early years, and didn't he become president in the future? Of course, these people are also dangerous and greedy, and you have to deal with them more carefully than you do with them.
"Mike did a great job, he was a smart lad, and Mr. Eisenhower liked him so much that he decided to wait until he got to Columbia and let him be his assistant." George also reciprocated.
"yes, I think he'll be a senator sooner or later." Shen Long has high expectations for Mike's future, Mike has lived in a gangster family since he was a child, and he is no stranger to intrigue at all, he is definitely a good candidate for politics, and the political arena and the gangster struggle have a lot in common, and he is familiar with the brothel life with Wei Xiaobao and can mix like a fish in water in the palace.
"He's on the right path now!" George nodded in response, how many people can enter the presidential campaign at the beginning of their political careers, Mike has a good start, but it is difficult to say how far he can go in the future.
Then the two chatted for a while about the film company and smuggling channels, and the Rockefeller consortium also had a lot of channels to interfere in Europe on the surface, but it was always good to have more channels, and World War II brought those old European giants ...... Such as Rothschild and other families...... Completely crushed, it is time for the emerging American family to occupy Europe.
One is the spokesperson of the top American consortium, and the other is the overlord of the American underworld, and the two of them can now be said to be talking happily and happily.
But it wasn't long before the joy was interrupted, and Tom hurried to knock on the door and enter, and George took his leave, leaving the two of them alone in the room.
"Fredo, just received news that Lady Chapter-Mauss has been kidnapped by a gang of gangsters! They were so jealous of Mr. Maosi's huge prize that they demanded a ransom of one million! "Tom Hagen is a little anxious, and it is a huge blow to Las Vegas and the Flamingo Hotel to make such a fuss when they have just started to improve.
If this problem is not solved as soon as possible, those gamblers will be worried about their safety in Las Vegas, which can be fatal to the gambling industry, and who wants to gamble in Las Vegas if they win but have no chance to enjoy?
"Damn, someone from that family did it? How dare they make trouble in Las Vegas? Shen Long felt a little incredible, at the gangster conference in New York, Las Vegas was designated as an open city, and no one from any family could make trouble here, otherwise it would usher in a joint attack from other families.
Even after he left Las Vegas, Shen Long really couldn't guess that the family would have such courage.
"No, it's not from a certain family, according to the intelligence, it should be a group of gamblers who have lost red-eyed to make a temporary move." Tom was quite helpless, not every gambler is as generous as Dantraus, and people who lose red-eyed can do anything, "They want to make a fortune through kidnapping, what should we do now?" Mr. Mauss was in a hurry. ”
"Why don't we let Mr. Mauss give them a ransom first, and then deal with them when the people get them back!" Tom suggested that it would not be a problem for them to clean up a few thugs, and that the only thing to worry about was Mrs. Maus's safety.
"No, don't give them a penny, if you give money for the first time, things like this will keep happening in the future." Shen Long stood up, "Now, immediately gather the representatives of all the families in Las Vegas, I have something to say." ”
