Chapter 698 : Brother Hao is short of money!
Night falls,
Jiang Hao drove his rented car on the neon street of Las Vegas. On the sky at the end of the street, a huge moon happened to hang, making the whole street look like a werewolf on the moonlit night.
The men and women who stayed in the hotel during the day to hide from the sun are now like resurrected vampires, opening the coffin one by one, drilling out, excited, cheerful, and full of impulsive desire for blood. Las Vegas has truly woken up.
The car parked in the parking lot of the "Flamingo" hotel, got off the car and walked into the hotel. There were countless cars parked around, all of which were here to play. Looking at the neon lights of the flamingo, Jiang Hao remembered its history.
The Flamingo Hotel is the first luxury hotel in Las Vegas. Its founder is Benjamin Siegel, a gangster boss. When he stood in a deserted desert, he suddenly had the idea of opening a luxury casino, and then spent $6 million to build the Flamingo.
The flamingos were worth 10 million at that time, and 50 years later, the value of the flamingos hotel reached 100 billion.
When you walk into the casino, the bright lights and luxurious decorations will make you feel energetic. The crowd gathers around the gambling tables, depressed when losing money and cheer when winning money. The atmosphere in the venue is very strong, and you will involuntarily enter it.
A waiter walked past with a tray, filled with wine glasses. Jiang Hao took a glass and walked past the gambling tables. Finally, Jiang Hao stopped in front of the gambling table at 21 o'clock. There were ten tables at 21 o'clock. Jiang Hao chose one with free seats and sat on it.
According to gambling theory, 21 points is the fairest way to play. The banker has only 0.28% greater advantage over the player. For example, dice, the banker has 1.4% more advantage than the player, and on roulette, the banker has 5% greater advantage than the player.
As long as the casino has enough chips and funds and keeps playing with you, the one who wins the money in the end will definitely be the casino.
Moreover, Jiang Hao also knows a "Kelly formula". As long as he calculates the probability, he can improve his winning chance again. He has the ability to remember everything he has, and can be used in this regard, just like the movie "Decisive Blackjack".
Of course, if you use space and magic techniques, Jiang Hao will definitely win more, but he is here to do a serious business and doesn't want to anger the gangsters here. Just play in the casino, just play with it. Small gambling can be fun, and big gambling will be chased.
There are already several gamblers on the gambling table, a woman in her thirties with heavy makeup, a young white man, this man and a woman should look very close, there is also an old man in exquisite clothes and a vulgar guy. Of course, it doesn’t matter to a few people at all, they are all playing with the dealer.
Put the wine glass next to it and throw a $10 chip.
When the dealer deals the cards, Jiang Hao gets an eight-spades. This is not a good card. The second card is a square 7 with only 15 points. The chance of winning is very small, but the chance of a card explosion is very high.
Jiang Hao put the card on the table, "No."
The others looked at each other, and many people showed disdain, especially the man and woman, who were very excited to ask for cards. The young man was already 18 o'clock and gritted his teeth and asked for another one. Jiang Hao shook his head for him in his heart, a typical impulsive gambler.
Then that guy exploded.
After going down one by one, it was the dealer's turn. The dealer was about to 20 o'clock and took all the people on the table.
In this way, the gambling game continued one after another. The gambling table was a small society, and everyone's personality was vividly expressed. Some people said that the gambling table could be seen by people, but what they saw was his judgment when facing gambling.
After Jiang Hao's observation, the old man was the most steady. Although the rough man looked rough, he should be a veteran of playing cards. The couple was a real rookie, rich and impulsive, and he was definitely the favorite gambler in the casino.
"Bin, do you think I want it?" the woman asked, looking at the card at 17 o'clock.
"Yes, of course I want another one." said the young man.
The dealer dealer deals the card, and a 5-digit card is out.
After playing for about two hours, the woman and the man named Bin left the gambling table in frustration. I didn't know before, since Jiang Hao sat down, the two of them lost more than 10,000 US dollars in total. However, the woman signed the check twice to exchange chips, but the man had never paid a penny.
Jiang Hao didn't know that in fact, these two people could come to Las Vegas, which had a lot to do with him. The woman was Monroe's agent's wife. She had a lover for a long time. When her husband was paralyzed, her husband's partner came to her and hoped to buy back the shares. She agreed without hesitation. The two came to Las Vegas, but they didn't expect to bet money with Jiang Hao. The life experience was so wonderful.
The rough man had already lost all his money and left. The only ones who persisted until the end were the white-haired old man and Jiang Hao. The old man won about a thousand.
At first, Jiang Hao lost more than 1,000 yuan, and slowly, Jiang Hao lost more than he won. Two hours later, Jiang Hao had won more than 5,000 US dollars, but he kept using his brain to calculate and he felt a little tired.
After another card, Jiang Hao left Taiwan directly. Just play this kind of game. If you expect to make a fortune in the casino, it would definitely be a daydream.
People invest so much money to build hotels, free wine, food, countless waiters, and let every gambler come here to withdraw money and win money and leave. Do you think about it?
When he arrived at the rest area, he took a glass of dark beer and a plate of cake. Jiang Hao sat on a table to have a midnight snack. As soon as he took a bite, he saw the old man at the same table coming. When the old man saw Jiang Hao well, he nodded and greeted him. After all, he had been playing together for more than two hours, and he was the most familiar stranger here.
Jiang Hao responded politely and lowered his head to continue eating the cake. But unexpectedly, after a few minutes, the old man came over with a cup of hot coffee and a plate of dessert, stood beside Jiang Hao and asked, "Can I sit here and chat together."
"Of course." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
The old man took a sip of coffee and said, "I just watched you play cards, and it's very stable."
"You should have won the money too." Jiang Hao said.
"Yes, my luck is pretty good tonight. Do you know that I give myself a holiday every year and come to Las Vegas for a while. I never play big games. I try to restrain myself from being impulsive. I have seen too many people lose money overnight because of impulsiveness." The old man shook his head and said.
"By the way, what are you doing." The old man took a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I, a writer, write novels and scripts." Jiang Hao said.
The old man said oh, "Then we may really have a common language, because I run a movie equipment prop rental company."
“Where is your company?”
"Hollywood, of course, is Hollywood. There is the most complete film industry system in the world. You can find everything about movies there, equipment, props, directors, big stars, temporary actors, photographers, crew members, etc. As long as you bring money, there is nothing you can't find." The old man gestured and said.
"A small film company, I mean, how much is the company that can make movies independently?" Jiang Hao had this idea and wanted to touch the bottom.
The old man looked at Jiang Hao, "What, do you want to buy a film company? This is not good. There are some small companies in Hollywood, with only a few people, and everything else is rented, so you can still make movies. Those depend on how much money you have."
"But since the Paramount Act, big film companies have not allowed monopoly on theaters. Now film companies are investing more and more in film production. It is normal for a movie to invest millions of dollars. It is becoming increasingly difficult for companies that originally wanted to spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars but want to get rich overnight."
Jiang Hao also considered this issue. For example, take the movie "Seven Years Itch" he traveled through time. This movie is an urban drama, with more than half of the scenes being completed in the room. That's it, and it cost 3 million US dollars.
Of course, the two protagonists here account for a large part of the pay.
But it also shows that making movies is really expensive, especially those big productions. Although it is now in 1955, there are several movies invested in shooting every year.
Jiang Hao now only has more than 600,000 US dollars. It takes 100,000 yuan to get a legal identity. All he can use is 500,000 yuan. Is 500,000 yuan enough?
To set up a film company to recruit employees, to purchase equipment, film, to rent various props, to recruit filming and production teams, at least dozens of people are needed, to find actors, starring actors, supporting actors, extras, etc., all of which require money.
If you want to make a good movie, 500,000 is far from enough.
Short of money,
I also have to find a way to make money.
robbery?
There are many casinos in Las Vegas, with countless cash in it, huh huh.
But this is not a good idea. It would be better to sell the powders in the space. Jiang Hao had already decided to say goodbye to the old man. Jiang Hao returned to the hotel, put on himself in makeup and called the guy named Heim directly.
"I remember you, you were that guy in the afternoon. Have you finished all those noodles? Man, you used it so quickly. I'll go there now." Heim said on the phone.
In the past twenty minutes, Jiang Hao met Jiang Hao in the hotel parking lot. Jiang Hao sat directly in the back seat of the car. Heim turned his head and smiled at Jiang Hao, "You look good, Renard, open the box and let him choose it by himself."
The co-pilot Renard was about to open the box, and Jiang Hao said, "Wait a minute, let's see how mine first."
Heim and Renard were stunned, "Look at yours, what?"
Jiang Hao was also carrying a box. After opening it, there was a slow white plastic bag inside. Heim glanced at Renard, and the two of them exchanged their eyes and looked at Jiang Hao again, "Man, what do you mean? Don't tell me you are here to sell fans."
"You can treat me as a salesman, I want to meet your boss." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
Contacted by phone and explained the situation. An hour later, Heim and his two drove Jiang Hao to a small building. Jiang Hao met Heim and his boss, a middle-aged man with sharp eyes.
"My name is Steve Bussimi, you can call me Steve, what about you." The middle-aged man said calmly.
"Tony Stark." Jiang Hao said calmly.
The two looked at each other a few times. Seeing that Jiang Hao had no sign of fear or timidity, the other party spoke again: "Heim said, do you want to sell it to me?"
Jiang Hao raised the box in his hand, but Steve didn't answer it. A subordinate next to him took the box and placed it on the table next to him. He opened it with a click, revealing the neat five packs of powder inside.
The subordinate glanced at his boss, Steve nodded. The little brother poked the plastic bag with his fingers, licked it in his mouth, hooked it and put it under his nose and sucked it. After a few seconds, he nodded to his boss, "Cocaine, the best product."
The so-called top-quality goods are goods that have not added messy things yet.
You should know that in order to sell more money, those drug dealers will not sell pure fans to drug users. They will add some messy things to it, so that the purity is reduced and the weight and volume increases, which can make 30% more money.
A 30% profit is not a small amount of money. A 5 million yuan worth of goods is equivalent to an extra 1.5 million yuan.
"What are you going to sell?"
"How much do you offer?"
Steve thought for a while, "A dollar per gram."
Jiang Hao immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "I bought $4 per gram before."
Steve looked at Heim next to him, and Heim shrugged innocently.
"Man, it contains my profits." Steve said.
"But my goods are top-notch."
"How much do you want?" Steve asked with a frown.
“2 dollars per gram.”
Steve thought for a while, finally nodded in agreement, looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Yes, I've accepted these, but man, where are you from? Are you planning to open up the market in Las Vegas?"
"Is Las Vegas welcome?" Jiang Hao said.
