Chapter 1020 Las Vegas Tycoon!

Las Vegas.

Located on the edge of the desert, it is hot all year round.

Yang Ming had been to Las Vegas many times in his previous life, but it was not because he liked gambling, 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 there is so much dirty money in the United States and even the world that wants to be turned into legal and clean money every day.

Then the only way to launder money is through this method.

And the big boss of MGM-United Artists, Kerkorian, is not only a gambling tycoon in Las Vegas, but also a Hollywood movie giant.

Yang Ming immediately thought of his old business in his previous life. If you say that Kerkorian has nothing to do with these, he really doesn't believe it.

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

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

If you take a car, it will take a few hours. However, by plane, it can arrive in an hour.

Yang Ming still decided to take a car.

Early the next morning.

After Yang Ming had breakfast at the Beverly Hills villa, he took Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxun, Park Jinhui, Alina, and even the housekeeper Lin Dezhong to leave Los Angeles by car, and then went directly to Las Vegas on the edge of the desert.

Yang Ming also thought of someone.

Ye Han from Haojiang.

Ye Han really likes gambling. Historically, Ye Han lost a lot of money in Las Vegas.

However, most of Ye Han’s property is now used in Jiangmendundi, his hometown. Under normal circumstances, Ye Han can’t go to Las Vegas to play.

Now in the Rolls-Royce, in addition to Park Jinhui, there is also Alina.

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

Park Jinhui shook her head.

She hadn't been there.

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

But Las Vegas was really her first time.

In Park Jinhui's opinion, she was also a little curious.

Passing through the small towns near Los Angeles, and passing through many small towns and small cities along the way, Yang Ming found that although there are many highways on these roads, they are still quite comfortable to sit on.

More than 400 kilometers.

Under normal driving conditions, it takes more than four hours to arrive.

Las Vegas is located on the edge of the desert and has high temperatures all year round.

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

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

"Sir, look outside."

Park Jinhui saw large patches of cacti outside.

At this time, this is already the edge of the desert, and this is within the scope of 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 patch of cactus again, he was still a little surprised.

Let Chen Zhenhua stop the car.

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

He Chaoxun, Ah Zhu and others came here for the first time. They were really surprised to see the huge cactus, some of which were still in bloom.

There was no need to think about trees except cacti and some unknown weeds.

In addition, there were large tracts of desert all around.

"Boss, is this Las Vegas?"

"We're almost there."

"Then why build a casino here?" Alina asked curiously.

During the Great Depression in the United States, in order to survive the economic difficulties, the Nevada State Assembly passed a bill to legalize the gambling industry. Las Vegas has since become a gambling city and has risen rapidly.

The main economic pillar of Las Vegas is the gambling industry. Since casinos are a gold rush, tycoons from all over the United States have invested in Las Vegas to build casinos, and even wealthy people from Japan, Arab princes, and famous actors have come to invest.

In 1946, Las Vegas saw the emergence of large casinos.

In the 1950s, it developed into a famous tourist destination featuring the gambling industry, and in the 1960s, a desert sanatorium was opened.

The city's economy mainly relies on tourism. There are many luxurious nightclubs, hotels, restaurants and casinos in the city, including the Charleston Entertainment District and the Canyon National Exposition.

Of course, in Yang Ming's view, this ghost place has always been seriously lacking, and lacks other resources, even transportation advantages. The only place that can only form gambling, even tourism and consumption.

"There are historical reasons, just like Haojiang."

Yang Ming and others rested here for about ten minutes.

It's too sunny outside.

Get on the car and leave here.

Go to Las Vegas.

Half an hour later.

Yang Ming has seen many high-rise buildings in the car.

Of course, Las Vegas at this time is still much worse than it would be thirty or forty years later.

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

When he arrived at the downstairs of the more than 30-story hotel.

Soon, someone came to greet him.

A white man in his seventies wearing a suit.

He was the Las Vegas gambling tycoon Kerkorian.

Kerkorian was born into a gambling tycoon and the largest shareholder of MGM in the United States. 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 owned the West City Casino and MGM Grand. He is known as the "designer" of Las Vegas and built it into a world-class tourist destination.

In addition.

This person is really not simple in history.

Kerkorian first invested in an automobile company in 1990, when Chrysler's stock price fell to $9 per share due to the economic recession in the United States and the company's poor management.

Kerkorian analyzed that the economy of the United States would improve in the future, so he acquired 36 million shares of Chrysler at a price of $10 per share, becoming the largest shareholder of Chrysler. By the beginning of 1994, the value of Kerkorian's holdings had increased fivefold to $60 per share.

In 1995, after a series of studies, Kerkorian still believed that Chrysler's value was seriously underestimated, so he decided to invest $23 billion to buy the entire company, but this move was rejected by Chrysler.

Despite this, Kerkorian continued to buy Chrysler shares. However, Kerkorian's move prompted Daimler-Benz to acquire Chrysler for $36 billion and establish Daimler-Chrysler.

During the process of Daimler-Benz acquiring Chrysler, Kerkorian was also buying Daimler-Benz shares.

When Kerkorian closed the deal, he made a total profit of $2.7 billion, which exceeded the total GDP of all non-oil producing countries in Africa at the time.
