Thinking of the MGM information he had learned before, Li Feng couldn't help thinking about how to make the big man feel heartache. He can be regarded as a breath for Hollywood filmmakers. He can also be regarded as half a Hollywood filmmaker.
Well, if cork could hear what Li Feng was thinking, he would probably jump up and say to Li Feng, what kind of Hollywood filmmaker are you? Are you a businessman like me.
Of course, Li Feng actually admires this old guy very much. Such a person is also a legend all his life. Even compared with those legendary families such as the founders of Morgan and Rockefeller, he is not inferior. In the future, he is destined to become a person and object of celebrity history.
As the founder of Las Vegas, it can be said that Las Vegas has such prosperity thanks to the gambling king. This is also the reason why Li Feng said that this old guy can be famous in history. As a pioneering figure, it is always so easy to be remembered.
As long as Las Vegas exists forever, his name will always be remembered by future generations.
Although the super tycoon does not rank high on the rich list every year, anyone who knows the situation will not underestimate the tycoon. He is known as "the most mysterious tycoon on the rich list".
The gambling king has many nicknames, such as "American old K, ACE old K, black fist boss". From these nicknames, we can see that the gambling king's origin is never good, or even serious.
……
The tycoon was born in 1917, when his mother fled from Armenia, a country that had just experienced the wave of socialism, to the United States.
But as soon as the old man set foot in the United States, perhaps he felt the smell of American capitalism, the little guy couldn't wait to jump out of his mother's stomach and became the first guy in the cork family to get American nationality.
The standard Armenian "American baby" didn't know that the United States spoke English rather than Armenian at home until he entered primary school. Naturally, Kok, who spoke Armenian English, became the object of ridicule by his classmates. Even now, the old man's English is still Armenian.
After staying in school for eight years, he was naturally ridiculed by his classmates for eight years. In the ninth year, the unbearable little guy threw out a "drop out application" directly in front of the headmaster. Later, he made a living with his underground boxing brother and wandered in the underground world of Los Angeles.
I have to say that people do have a little talent in this regard. Although they are still young, with 33 wins and 28 underground black boxing resumes, some young guys are famous in the underground world of Los Angeles, won the reputation of "small rifle" in the underground black boxing industry of Los Angeles, and naturally earned the first pot of gold in life.
……
However, although the future gambling king has no education, he still has a clear mind. He feels that he is ready to withdraw from this lucrative career before his brain has been concussed and idiot by his black fist opponents.
Li Feng thought at that time that if Kirk Kerry didn't withdraw in time, or if he was beaten too hard to take care of himself like Ali, I don't know if there was another Kirk to create the prosperity of Las Vegas.
Then the then Los Angeles underground boxer and the "small rifle" signed up for the pilot training class.
Unexpectedly, the guy who barely graduated from primary school and didn't have much knowledge was a flying genius. He not only passed the training, but also got a flying license.
During World War II, he also participated in the Royal Air Force and performed well. He became a 'Captain' and commanded a small flying formation over the Atlanta Strait.
Fortunately, it was not shot down by little Japan or Germany in World War II. After World War II, the U.S. military has a large number of wartime weapons and equipment. At this time, the U.S. government is ready to sell these equipment at a low price. After all, it's moldy in the warehouse, and it costs money for annual maintenance. It's better to cash it out.
Even planes are no exception. The U.S. military sold planes to World War II soldiers at a low price of $10000-100000. At that time, cork took out all his family and bought a plane full of gun holes and half full of oil.
In this way, with this master plane that looks like falling apart at any time, full of gun holes and may fall into the sea at any time due to fuel consumption, cork came to a small airline in California.
……
It has to be said that although he had no knowledge, he had good eloquence. Cork persuaded the airline boss to buy the plane at a high price and refit it into a luxury plane.
In this way, he began to be a plane "loser", but he made some money, and even directly bought the airline and became his own boss.
At that time, Li Feng was stunned when he saw here. He felt that he was a real strong man. After a toss, he turned the airline into his own. He was really an idol.
However, the competition between Meidi's airlines is too fierce, and cork's small airlines are competitors of those large airlines.
However, Kirk has found an "exclusive business" to "transport" Hollywood celebrities to Las Vegas for marriage or divorce. After all, Las Vegas is notoriously simple and confidential.
Business is booming at $100 a trip.
Unfortunately, those celebrities and rich people who went to Las Vegas had a lot of money and cash in their pockets. There was no place to spend in that damn place, full of sand. In a joke, they suggested that cork invest in Las Vegas and build it into an entertainment center.
The speaker had no intention and the listener had intention, but old cork listened to this joke. In 1967, he sold the airline, gathered more than $100 million, spent $13 million to buy several golden land in Las Vegas and began to build luxury hotels.
In that year, the super luxury hotel was built, and the gambling table and theater were moved into the hotel, which was nicknamed "guest blocking the tide". Later, in 69, it spent US $60 million to build the world hotel, the largest and most luxurious entertainment place in the world at that time. It opened its arms to gamblers in the United States, and then naturally made a lot of money.
He bought MGM in 70 years and renamed all the hotels under his name MGM. After all, MGM is so famous that it is conducive to the development of his hotel industry, and then he began to toss MGM.
Since then, Las Vegas began to rise, and the legend of bookmaker cork colklein began.
……
Today's gambling king, with a fortune of billions, is a frequent visitor on the annual rich list. Naturally, Li Feng absolutely does not believe in the wealth on the rich list. After all, the wealth list only counts the wealth of his hotel entertainment center. You know, gambling is all cash.
Moreover, when those losers gamblers lose, everything can be mortgaged. For decades, it is estimated that the gambler himself can't figure out how many there are. This is one of the reasons why the gambler is called the "most mysterious rich". After all, there are so many gamblers all over the world. Who knows what's going on.
"Little guy, do you have to compete with me for MGM?"
"Old man, I don't understand why you're holding on to MGM. Aren't you willing to be tossed like this by you for so many years?"
"Don't you know that my hotel is called MGM. If you buy MGM, won't my hotel live up to its name?"
"Come on, old man, who doesn't know you've sold back and forth several times. If you really pay so much attention to the hotel name, you won't be so troubled."
"Little guy, how can you give up competing with me for MGM?"
At the same time, in the face of such a scene, the people around were stunned.
This is the case in Europe and America. When the interests are large enough, people can put down their airs. As long as Li Feng participates in the competition for MGM, Bank of Lyon will be able to make a profit and sit and watch Li Feng fight with cork.
Naturally, both sides may be ready for massive bleeding, which is also the reason why the French proposed MGM to Li Feng and why cork was willing to talk nonsense with Li Feng here.
……
"Old man, I have a good suggestion. Would you like to hear it?"
"Little guy, I think you have some good suggestions. Go ahead."
"Well, let's talk on the terrace."
Then Li Feng got up and walked directly towards the terrace. Naturally, seeing Li Feng's action, the old guy paused a little and followed Li Feng to the private terrace.
