Chapter 460 Sin City (7K big chapter, ask for a monthly ticket~~)

  Although Chu Huan didn't know what happened in Los Angeles, the reactions of the major Hollywood studios had already been expected by Chu Huan.

  Hollywood is a place where interests come first.

  As long as you can bring me benefits, then this group of people will immediately enshrine you as a god.

  When your value is drained, they will throw it away like garbage, and leave without looking back. There will be no gloating or pity, because you have nothing to do with them.

Now the movie "Jaws 2" is a movie with 95% chance of making money, so no matter what kind of relationship they had with Chu Huan before, now they will find a way to find Kelly or Chu Huan and share the profits .

   But that will be a matter of the future. Now Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang, Bao Tianming and others have disembarked at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport.

   Before the conveyor belt brought the luggage to the front, in the airport hall, colorful slot machines were already staring at Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang, Bao Tianming and others.

   In fact, in Las Vegas, these things are everywhere.

   When the group walked out of the airport hall, people from the Las Vegas branch of Wolf Smoke Games were already waiting for them here.

   "Chairman, Madam, Mr. Bao, which hotel shall we go to?"

  When the three of Chu Huan got into the first extended Lincoln car in front of them, the staff of Wolf Smoke Games Las Vegas asked Chu Huan.

   Unlike Haojiang, there are much more casinos in Las Vegas.

   "Caesars Palace!"

  Chu Huan spat out a name, and the driver drove.

   "Whatever you say this time, you have to relax!"

  Bao Tianming took out a bottle of whiskey from the car refrigerator and poured himself a glass, then leaned against the seat with the wine glass, and preached comfortably.

   "You say that like I was squeezing you before!"

  Chu Huan first poured a glass for Cao Yunshang, and then poured himself a glass of whiskey. After taking a sip, he smiled and preached to Bao Tianming.

Bao Tianming rolled his eyes at Chu Huan, and said: "Europe, North America, Japan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, during this time I was either on the plane or on the way to the plane. Now I understand why Kui Zai only wants to It’s really easy to be a director!”

   "Brother Tianming, Wolf Smoke Games has just started. After two years, when the company is on the right track and these branches can take the lead on their own, you will be relieved!"

  Cao Yunshang explained for Chu Huan.

   Naturally, Bao Tianming wasn't really complaining. After Cao Yunshang finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I was just joking with Brother Huan."

  Chu Huan said to Cao Yunshang: "Have you forgotten what I told you before?"

   "What?" Cao Yunshang looked at Chu Huan curiously.

   Even Bao Tianming looked curious.

  Chu Huan said seriously: "Bitch is hypocritical."

  Cao Yunshang covered her mouth and chuckled, Bao Tianming glared at Chu Huan angrily.

   After a while, Bao Tianming said to Chu Huan with some emotion: "Brother Huan, you said that a few years ago, when did we ever think that there would be such a day!"

  Chu Huan did not answer Bao Tianming's words, but instead asked: "You must be really old, why are you starting to feel emotional?"

   "Fart!" Bao Tianming said immediately: "I'm not yet 30, a good spirited guy!"

  Cao Yunshang sat next to Chu Huan, and asked Bao Tianming gossipingly: "Brother Tianming, you are stable now, why don't you find a girlfriend?"

  In Cao Yunshang’s view, Bao Tianming used to be a member of the club, poorer by the third and richer by the fifth, with one foot in the mission hall and the other in the medical hall.

  But now Bao Tianming is a proper rich man in the city. Last year's dividends alone amounted to three to five million US dollars, which is more than the annual profit of ordinary listed companies.

  By this year, it is estimated that Bao Tianming's dividend can exceed 10 million US dollars.

  With such conditions, what kind of girlfriend can’t be found?

  A complex expression flashed in Bao Tianming's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "What's the rush to find a girlfriend? I haven't had enough fun yet. Let's talk about it when I have enough fun!"

  Cao Yunshang keenly caught the change in Bao Tianming's eyes, and looked at Chu Huan gossipingly.

  Chu Huan didn't look at Cao Yunshang, but looked at Bao Tianming and asked, "You haven't forgotten that woman, have you?"

   "How is it possible!" Bao Tianming looked flustered, and then denied: "Who am I, a prodigal son in love, how could I still remember that woman Xia Sijia."

  Chu Huan laughed directly after listening, and said, "I didn't even mention my name, so you know I'm talking about Xia Sijia?"

  The conversation between Chu Huan and Bao Tianming directly ignited the fire of gossip in Cao Yunshang's heart. He grabbed Chu Huan's arm and asked curiously.

   "Tell me quickly, what is Xia Sijia, what's going on?"

   Bao Tianming leaned against the seat again holding the wine glass, while Chu Huan satisfied Cao Yunshang's inner gossip.

   "Do you know how Brother Tianming and I met?"

  Chu Huan didn't need to talk about it this time, Bao Tianming told Cao Yunshang himself.

"Actually, my grandma used to be a servant of Brother Huan's family. My parents passed away early. I grew up with my grandma, so I have known Brother Huan since I was a child. Although Brother Huan's temper was a bit dull at that time, he was human. It was nice once I saw him."

Once Bao Tianming's grandma accidentally broke a vintage porcelain vase at home because of her age. This incident was seen by Chu Huan. Chu Huan, who was a child at the time, took the initiative to admit this without knowing what to think. Mistakes are self-made.

   Avoided the embarrassment that Grandma Bao Tianming might have.

   And Bao Tianming accidentally saw this incident.

   It was precisely because of this incident that Bao Tianming has always regarded Chu Huan as his younger brother since then.

   "At that time, Grandma Chu was also very kind to us servant children, and everyone respected Grandma Chu.

  At that time, there was a flower farmer in the Chu family, and he had a daughter named Xia Sijia, who was about my age."

  The story of Bao Tianming and Xia Sijia is actually the story of a pair of childhood sweethearts growing up.

It's just that the girl Xia Sijia is a little greedy for vanity, and she is even more dissatisfied with her father's status as a servant. When she was less than 15 years old, she started to rebel, hanging out with a group of flying girls every day, Bao Tianming In order to protect her safety, join the club!

   Later, the two finally got together, and even talked about getting married, but it turned out that Bao Tianming went in instead of his boss.

  When Bao Tianming was in Stanley, he heard that Xia Sijia's family had emigrated, and they hadn't seen each other since Bao Tianming came out.

  After listening to Bao Tianming's story, Cao Yunshang also had some feelings, and comforted Bao Tianming, saying: "Brother Tianming, don't think too much, maybe that girl has some unavoidable difficulties!"

   After Bao Tianming told his story, he felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile, "Is there any difficulty, sister-in-law, let me ask you, what would you do if brother Huan went in now?"

  Cao Yunshang said without hesitation: "Naturally, the last lawyer in Xiangjiang and even the whole of England is invited to file a lawsuit against Brother Huan!"

   "." Bao Tianming said helplessly: "I mean, if Brother Huan has already entered!"

  Cao Yunshang said: "Then spend money, even if you hire the best mercenaries in the world, you must rescue Brother Huan!"

   "." Bao Tianming held his forehead, feeling a bit reluctant to speak.

  The heart is too tired, mainly because the dog food is not good!

Chu Huan rubbed Cao Yunshang's head, and said with a smile: "Brother Tianming means that we are just ordinary people without our current background, or we can be replaced by Brother Tianming and Xia Sijia at that time. If you are Xia Sijia, you What will you do?"

  Cao Yunshang said: "Of course I will wait for you to come out."

   After talking about Xia Sijia's situation, Cao Yunshang said: "Even if I have a last resort to leave Xiangjiang, I will definitely go to Stanley first and tell Brother Huan about it."

"That's right." Bao Tianming suddenly smiled carefreely, and said: "But I was the **** first, and people left after me. Now, at most, I don't delay or owe, don't say anything about anyone, everyone settles down." That's all right!"

   Speaking of the topic, Chu Huan and his party have arrived at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas!

   It is the Caesars Palace in "The Gambler vs. Las Vegas".

  This is not just an ordinary hotel with a casino, but a large resort hotel.

  The entire Caesars Palace is an ancient Roman-style building. It was built in 1866 and is one of the earliest casino hotels in Las Vegas. It has even been said that Caesars Palace is actually the beginning of the capital city of Las Vegas.

  The entire Caesars Palace Resort Hotel consists of six buildings, named Augustus, Centurion, Rome, Royal Palace, Octavian Peace Square, and there are also venues dedicated to performances. Inside the square is the famous TheForumShops, an indoor shopping street covering an area of ​​nearly 60,000 square meters. It was the first to build artificial sky and antique building facades in the indoor shopping street to simulate the environment of walking on the ancient street in the evening.

  Caesars Palace is also one of several major hotel groups on the Las Vegas Strip.

  When Chu Huan and the others entered the hall, Xu Yi and Wu Shuhan, who followed Chu Huan, had already gone through the entry procedures.

   After a while, the two returned and said that the entry procedures had been completed.

  Led by the hotel staff, several people came to the presidential suite of Caesars Palace, which will be changed into Nobu Villa in later generations.

  Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang lived here, while Bao Tianming and the others occupied the entire first floor downstairs.

It was already afternoon at this time, Chu Huan said with a smile to the people gathered in his room: "It doesn't matter if you take a break first, or go to play two games, we will have dinner here at night, and then we will go to the casino. As for those who want to participate in other projects, you can, but remember not to act alone, and ask Qin Peng to protect you!"

  Las Vegas has another alias 'Sin City'!

  So before coming here, Chu Huan specially asked Lin Feng to deploy 15 people from the security department to fly over from Xiangjiang to protect them.

  With Chu Huan's arrangement, everyone returned to their rooms.

  Xu Yi and Wu Shuhan live in the same suite.

  The two returned to their rooms and went to take a shower.

   Not long after, Wu Shuhan came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, and saw that Xu Yi had changed into a dress that was more like a formal dress.

   "Manager Xu, do you have an appointment?"

  Xu Yi smiled happily: "Didn't I tell you? Now we are not working, but taking the boss's money for vacation. Don't call me Manager Xu, just call me Sister Xu!"

   After finishing speaking, Xu Yi put up a beautiful poss in front of Wu Shuhan, and then asked triumphantly, "How is it pretty?"

  Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "Pretty!"

Xu Yi walked up to Wu Shuhan, looked at Wu Shuhan's towering hills, and then looked at his steamed buns, and said enviously: "Oh, staying with you makes me lose my confidence now !"

  Although Wu Shuhan was used to Xu Yi's way of speaking, he still blushed a little at this time when the bold Xu Yi said it.

   "Let me tell you, you can't just blush all the time. You are so pretty, and our boss has that kind of temper. If you have such a personality again, the boss will eat you up sooner or later!"

  Xu Yi preached jokingly.

  Wu Shuhan thought of the advice that his eldest sister Wu Shuqing told him when he just decided to work with Chu Huan, and couldn't help but preach.

   "I feel that our boss is not what you said?"

  Xu Yi chuckled, and expressed his inner thoughts vividly and said: "How long have you been with our boss, let me tell you, he just has too many things during this time, otherwise."

   After speaking, Xu Yi looked Wu Shuhan up and down, and then said: "I'm afraid you will not escape his clutches."

  Wu Shuhan was slowly getting used to Xu Yi's words, and then said: "What about you, sister Xu? How can you escape the clutches of the boss?"

  Xu Yi first said arrogantly: "That's naturally because I have the means."

  But after Tsundere, he also said helplessly: "The most important thing is that my level is not yet at the level that makes the boss tempted, but you are different!"

   "How come, sister Xu, you are also very beautiful?" Wu Shuhan hurriedly said.

   "Your name hurts me a little!" Wu Shuhan said quietly.

  Wu Shuhan blushed, not knowing what to say.

   "Okay, let's not talk about the boss, you change your clothes quickly, let's go to the casino to relax, finally have the boss's free time, but don't waste it!"

   While talking, Xu Yi took Wu Shuhan to change clothes.

   "The boss pays the bill?" Wu Shuhan looked at Xu Yi puzzled.

Xu Yi had already pushed Wu Shuhan to Wu Shuhan's room at this time, "Yes, I just called Qin Peng and said that the two of us wanted to go to the casino to try our luck. Qin Peng said that the boss prepared us $500,000 each. Chips, play whatever you want!"

   After finishing speaking, Xu Yi clasped his hands on his chest, and said happily: "Our boss is perfect in other places except for his fickleness, but it's a pity that it's not my style!"

  500,000 USD!

  Wu Shuhan has been Chu Huan's secretary for more than half a year, and the funds he has seen are also astronomical, but they are all Chu Huan's. Now I hear that I suddenly have 500,000 US dollars.

   "Sister Xu, can I not play, I want to save this money."

  Xu Yi: "."

   "It seems that Xu Yi has been exhausted enough following you for the past few years."

   At this time, Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang had also finished their showers and were chatting on the sofa. What they were talking about was exactly what Qin Peng called to say that Xu Yi and the others were going to play two games.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "This girl used to be a love brain. I thought she wouldn't last long, but I didn't expect to be able to persist until now, and her personal ability is getting stronger and stronger, but sometimes her brain still intermittently. short circuit!"

  Cao Yunshang heard Chu Huan complaining about her secretary, and said with a smile: "Be careful if she hears it, she should blame you again!"

   "She dares, and she doesn't want to see who pays her wages!" Chu Huan said.

  From the bottom of his heart, Chu Huan still trusts Xu Yi very much. It can even be said that Xu Yi is the person Chu Huan trusts the most besides these few people around him.

  At the beginning, Chu Huan wanted to take Xu Yi with her for a while, and then transfer her to a certain company or a certain region as the general manager.

  In the middle, Chu Huan discovered that Xu Yi still had occasional brain short-circuits, so he planned to train him for a while, but now, with more and more business around Chu Huan.

  In fact, Chu Huan could not do without Xu Yi, the full-time secretary.

  So in the future, Xu Yi will definitely be Chu Huan's secretary all the time!

   While the two were chatting, the door was knocked, Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang got up on the sofa, Cao Yunshang walked into the bedroom, and Chu Huan went to open the door.

  The door of the room opened, and there was a white male in his forties or fifties wearing an evening dress.

"Hello, Mr. Chu, I am Jay Sarno from Caesars Palace, and I welcome you to our hotel. I didn't know you very well before, so I charged you. I'm very sorry. This is your request just now." The check used by the secretary, and this is our hotel VIP card, which has a credit line of 10 million US dollars!"

Although the other party's attitude is very humble, Chu Huan still knows this person well. The casino tycoon in Las Vegas in the 1960s and 1970s, although his status in Las Vegas is not very good, Hongshen's gambling in Haojiang Ye has such a strong dominant position, but he is also the most powerful person in the city.

   As for the other party being able to recognize him, Chu Huan was not surprised at all.

  Running a casino is the world's top, and the other party will definitely collect all the rich people who can be found by the world's top rich people.

   As for Chu Huan, who appeared on Fortune and is known as the richest Chinese man with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, it would be strange if the other party didn’t know about him!

   After Jay Sarno was invited into the room, the waiter who followed Jay Sarno put the tray with the check and VIP card on the table and left.

   Neither Chu Huan nor Jay Sarno looked at the card.

   "I heard that Mr. Chu and Ms. Cao just got married some time ago, are they coming to Las Vegas for vacation now?"

   Jay Sarno chatted with Chu Huan with a smile.

   Jay Sarno was working in his office just now, and then the lobby manager of the hotel went to his office.

  Although the lobby manager of Caesars Palace didn’t know who Chu Huan was, he naturally wanted to tell his boss about the fact that a super rich man had taken over the top two floors of Caesars Palace.

   After Jay Sarno learned that the client was Chu Huan, he immediately ordered the hotel staff to customize this VIP card for Chu Huan.

"Mr. Chu, we will have a wonderful boxing match at Caesars Palace tomorrow night. The two sides of the match are boxing champion Ali and another boxing champion Norton. I believe it will be a very beautiful boxing match. I wonder if Mr. Chu is interested in watching the fight. ?”

  A top-notch casino not only has a variety of slot machines, gaming tables, and VIP halls, but also hosts some boxing matches.

  Jordan received an annual salary of 33 million in the last year of his first comeback, while Tyson and Lewis earned more than 28 million pounds for a boxing match.

   From this, we can see how deep the water is in the boxing match.

Chu Huan immediately became interested. Chu Huan had heard the name of boxing champion Ali before, but at that time, the boxing champion Ali Chu Huan saw was the boxing champion Ali who had already suffered from Parkinson's disease, not the boxing champion Ali at his peak. .

   "Thank you Mr. Sarno for the invitation, I will definitely go to watch the battle then!"

   "Okay, I will reserve a seat for Mr. Chu on the other side of the boxing ring."

After Chu Huan nodded, he picked up the check on the table, tore it up and threw it into the trash can next to him, then took out his checkbook and rewrote a Morgan Bank check for $500,000, and handed it to Jie Isarno, then laughed.

   "This money, even if I put it on the body of boxing champion Ali."

  Although being able to fight against boxing champion Ali shows that this Norton must not be a simple character, but Chu Huan is not familiar with it, so Chu Huan is still more willing to trust boxing champion Ali.

   In fact, this boxing champion Norton is not a simple character. In 1973, he fought with Ali and broke Ali's jaw.

   Jay Sarno didn't care about Chu Huan's $500,000 bet, but he was very happy with Chu Huan's bet.

   Only with more super rich customers can the company have more income.

   "We have a reception at our hotel tonight to welcome Ali and Norton. I wonder if Mr. Chu is interested in bringing your wife with him?"

   Jay Sarno sent a second invitation to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan rejected Jay Sarno this time, and said with a smile: "There is no need, we are here for vacation and rest, and we have already made an appointment with our friends, and we will go to the casino to try our luck at night!"

   "If that's the case, then I won't disturb Mr. Chu's rest. If you need anything, just ask your housekeeper!"

   This presidential suite has an exclusive butler.

   After Sarno left the room, Cao Yunshang came out of the bedroom.

  Los Angeles, Twentieth Century Fox Headquarters.

   "Boss, how is your chat with Kelly?"

   Ladd asked Hirschfeld.

  Hirshfeld said angrily: "Kelly is too cunning. Although she didn't directly refuse, the price she proposed is not acceptable to us at all!"

Hirschfield invited Kelly to dinner last night and asked about co-investing in "Jaws 2". Although Kelly agreed to Hirschfield's invitation, the price that Kelly offered at the dinner was not at all what Heshfield offered. Hifeld can accept it.

  This is especially the case for both parties’ income in the field of videotapes of the film "Jaws 2". Kelly is only willing to sell the box office share of "Jaws 2", but does not include the income from videotapes and other peripherals.

  In the past, Hirschfeld would not have cared about these, after all, the box office was the bulk of the income of film studios in this period.

  However, after the popularity of the "Jaws" peripherals and video tape market, it can be said that it directly changed Hollywood's profit model.

   It was only at this time that everyone discovered that the video tape market was actually making so much money!

   But what Kelly said is not wrong. In the past, everyone bought enough investment shares, and the income they got was actually just a share of the box office.

   Now everything has changed.

   "Boss, do you know what is included in the 50% investment share that Vertex Pictures bought for black and white images?"

   Ladd asked aloud.

   "I asked Kelly. Although the other party didn't say it clearly, I can feel that Chu Huan bought half of the investment share of all the proceeds of "Jaws 2"!" Hirschfield said enviously.

   "I don't know what the relationship between Chu Huan and Kelly is. Kelly is so generous!"

Ladd didn't care about Hirschfeld's complaints, but said: "Boss, since we can't accept this offer, I don't think the other studios will agree to it either. Why don't we all unite to put pressure on Kelly? How about it?"

   Hirschfeld waved his hand and said: "I don't want this to happen until the last moment. It is not our goal to kill the fish and destroy the net. The most important thing is to cooperate with Vertex Pictures and get the benefits we deserve."

  The two pondered for a moment, and Hirschfeld asked Ladd, "By the way, do you know where Chu Huan is now?"

   Ladd shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, if you want to know, you may have to ask!"

   Hirschfeld said: "Find someone to check, if possible, we might be able to buy some investment shares from Chu Huan!"

   Ladd nodded.

  Warner Headquarters.

   "Chu Huan went to Las Vegas?" Ted Ashley learned of Chu Huan's whereabouts from Zou Wenhuai.

Like Hirschfeld, he got the same answer from Kelly. Similarly, Ted Ashley set his sights on Chu Huan's "Jaws Shark" after Kelly failed to get the result he wanted. 2" that 50% investment share!

  So Ted Ashley found Zou Wenhuai, and asked Zou Wenhuai to find out where Chu Huan was.

  Zou Wenhuai found Li Xiaolong, and learned from Li Xiaolong that Chu Huan is now in Las Vegas.

   "That's right, Aaron told me that Chu Huan will spend a week in Las Vegas, and then travel to Europe!"

  Zou Wenhuai replied.

   Ted Ashley muttered: "So we only have a week left?"

   The monthly pass is less than a hundred and it will reach 1000. Readers, if you have any, you can vote for Huangshan~~ I really want it~~
