Chapter 1020 Las Vegas Tycoon!
Las Vegas.

Located on the edge of the desert, it is dominated by high temperatures all year round.

Yang Ming had been to Las Vegas many times in his previous life, but not because he liked to gamble, but because it was related to his old business in his previous life.

Money laundering.

Although the casinos in Las Vegas are legal, Yang Ming knows that so much dirty money in country M and even the world wants to turn it into legal and clean money.

Then only through this method of money laundering.

The big boss of MGM-United Artists, Kirk Lean, is not only a Las Vegas gambling tycoon, but also a Hollywood movie tycoon.

Yang Ming immediately thought of his old profession in his previous life. He really didn't believe that Kerkorian had nothing to do with these things.

At this time, Yang Ming was going to Las Vegas to meet the tycoon.

It is more than 400 kilometers from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, which is not very far.

In the case of a car, it will be there in a few hours.However, it can be reached in an hour by plane.

Yang Ming still decided to go by car.

Early the next day.

After Yang Ming had breakfast at the villa in Beverly Hills, he took Azhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaofei, Park Jinhui, Alina, and even the housekeeper Lin Dezhong and others to leave Los Angeles by car, and then went directly to La Vegas past.

Yang Ming also thought of one person.

Ye Han of Haojiang.

Ye Han really likes to gamble. In history, Ye Han even lost a lot of money in Las Vegas.

However, most of Ye Han's property is now being used in his hometown, Jiang Mentun. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Ye Han to come to Las Vegas to play again.

In addition to Park Jin Hye, there is also Alina in the Rolls Royce.

"Park Jinhui, have you been to Las Vegas before?"

Park Jin Hye shook her head.

She has not been there.

When her father was still in power, she actually followed her to New York and even Washington.

However, Las Vegas is really the first time here.

From Park Jin Hye's point of view, she was also a little curious.

After passing through the small towns near Los Angeles, and passing through many small towns and small cities, Yang Ming found that although there were many highways on these roads, it was quite comfortable to sit on.

More than 400 kilometers.

Under normal driving conditions, it can be reached in a little more than four hours.

Because Las Vegas is located on the edge of the desert, it is hot all year round.

Especially in summer, the average temperature is 38 degrees Celsius, and the highest even reaches above 45 degrees Celsius.

At this time, it is already June, and the temperature in Las Vegas is also the highest time of the year, and the temperature outside should be as high as about 40 degrees Celsius.

"Sir, look outside."

Park Jinhui saw a large area of ​​cacti outside.

At this time, this place is already on the edge of the desert, and this place belongs to Las Vegas.

"Not far from downtown Las Vegas."

Yang Ming has been here many times in his previous life.

However, when he saw this large cactus again, he was still a little surprised.

Tell Chen Zhenhua to stop the car.

Yang Ming, Park Jinhui, Alina, and He Chaowei, Lin Xiuzhi, Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui and others got out of the car.

It was the first time for He Chaojue and Azhu to come here. They were really surprised when they saw a large number of cacti, and some were even in bloom.

Except for cacti and some unknown weeds, there is no need to think about trees here.

In addition, the surroundings are all large expanses of desert.

"Boss, is this Las Vegas?"

"Coming."

"Then why is the casino built here?" Alina asked curiously.

In 1931, during the Great Depression in the U.S., in order to overcome the economic difficulties, the Nevada State Legislature passed a bill to legalize the gaming industry. Since then, Las Vegas has become a casino and has risen rapidly.

The main economic pillar of Las Vegas is the gaming industry. Because the casino is a gold rush bowl, tycoons from all over the country M have invested in Las Vegas to build casinos, and even rich people from the East, Arab princes, and famous actors to invest.

Las Vegas In 1946, a large casino appeared in Las Vegas.

In the 50s, it developed into a famous tourist attraction featuring the gaming industry, and in the 60s, a desert recuperation area was opened.

The city's economy is mainly dependent on tourism. There are many luxurious nightclubs, hotels, restaurants and casinos in the city, as well as the Charleston Entertainment District and the Canyons National Expo.

Of course, in Yang Ming's view, this ghostly place has been severely lacking, and lacks other resources, and even transportation advantages. It is the only place that can only form a place for gambling, or even tourism and consumption.

"There are historical reasons, just like Haojiang."

Yang Ming and the others rested here for about 10 minutes.

It's too hot outside.

Get in the car and leave here by car.

Go to Las Vegas.

After half an hour.

Yang Ming saw many tall buildings in the car.

Of course, Las Vegas at this time is still much worse than it will be three or 40 years later.

Yang Ming asked Chen Zhenhua to take a car directly to the five-star hotel in Kerkorian.

When I came to the downstairs of the big hotel with a height of more than 30 floors.

Soon, someone came to greet him.

An old white man in his 70s wearing a suit.

It was Las Vegas gambling tycoon Kerr Corian.

Born in 1917, Kerkorian is a rich man in the gambling industry in country M and the largest shareholder of MGM. He dropped out of school in the eighth grade and became an amateur boxer and a World War II fighter pilot.

He also founded an aircraft leasing company, acquired and sold MGM Films three times, and owns Westside Casino and MGM Grand Hotel.Known as the "designer" of Las Vegas, it will be built into a world-class tourist attraction.

Besides.

This person is really not simple in history.

Kerkorian first invested in a car company in 1990, when Chrysler's stock price fell to $9 per share due to the economic recession in country M and the company's poor management.

Through analysis, Kerkorian believes that the economy of country M will improve in the future, so he bought 10 million shares of Chrysler at a price of US$3600 per share, becoming the largest shareholder of Chrysler.By early 1994, Kercorion's holdings had quintupled in value to $5 a share.

In 1995, after a series of studies, Kerkorian still believed that the value of Chrysler was seriously underestimated, so he decided to invest 230 billion US dollars to buy the entire company, but the move was rejected by Chrysler.

Still, Kerkorian continued to buy Chrysler stock.However, Kerkorian's move prompted Daimler-Benz to acquire Chrysler for $360 billion and form Daimler-Chrysler.

During Daimler-Benz's acquisition of Chrysler, Kerkorian also bought Daimler-Benz stock.

When Kerkorian closed the deal, he made a total of $27 billion in profits, more than the combined gross domestic product of all non-oil producing countries in Africa at the time.
