Rebirth

Chapter 248 The Legendary Life of the Gambler

Thinking of the MGM information he had learned before, Li Feng couldn't help thinking about how he could make this big brother feel heartbroken. He was a scorn for a Hollywood filmmaker, and he was a half Hollywood filmmaker.

Well, if the old guy Cork could hear what Li Feng was thinking in his heart, he would probably jump up and replied to Li Feng, what kind of a Hollywood filmmaker are you, you are not just a businessman like me.

Of course, I still admire this old guy Li Feng very much. Such a character is also a legend in his life. Even when compared with the legendary families such as Morgan and Rockefeller founders, he is not inferior, and he is destined to become a celebrity in the future. Historical figures.

As the pioneer of Las Vegas, it can be said that Las Vegas has such a boom, all thanks to the gambling king. This is also the reason why Li Feng said that this old guy can be a person who can stay in history. Groundbreaking characters are always so easy to remember.

As long as Las Vegas always exists, his name will always be remembered by future generations.

Although this super tycoon does not rank very high on the list of rich people every year, anyone who knows the situation will not underestimate this tycoon. He is called the'most mysterious rich man on the rich list. '.

This gambling king has many nicknames, such as'American old king, ace old king, black boxing boss' etc. From these nicknames, it can be seen that this gambling king's background will never be good, or even nothing. Serious people.

...

This tycoon was born in 1917, when his mother fled from Armenia, a country that had just experienced the wave of socialism, to the aspiring American emperor.

But as soon as the old man set foot in the American country, perhaps because he felt the breath of American capitalism, the little guy couldn't wait to jump out of his mother's belly and became the first guy in the Cork family to get American citizenship.

This standard Armenian "American baby" didn't know that the United States speaks English instead of Armenian at home until he entered elementary school. Naturally, Cork, who speaks Armenian English, became the object of ridicule by his classmates.Even now, the old guy's English still has an Armenian atmosphere.

I spent 8 years in school, and naturally I was laughed at by my classmates for 8 years. In the ninth year, the unbearable little guy directly threw out an'exit application' in front of the principal, and then asked for life with his brother who was boxing underground. , Mixed in the underground world of Los Angeles.

I have to say that people are really talented in this aspect. Although they are still young, with 33 wins and 28 games of underground black boxing resumes, there are some immature little guys who are famous in the Los Angeles underground world and won the Los Angeles underground black boxing world. The reputation of'small rifle', naturally, also earned the first pot of gold in life.

...

However, although the future gambling king has no academic qualifications, he still has a clear head. He feels that before he gets concussed or idiots by his opponents, he quickly prepares to withdraw from this one. Career.

Li Feng thought at the time, if the then Kirk Kerklien did not withdraw in time, or was beaten and unable to take care of himself like boxing champion Ali, I wonder if there is another Cork to create Las Vegas. The prosperity.

Later, the Los Angeles underground black boxing champion,'Small Rifle' signed up for pilot training classes.

Unexpectedly, this guy who barely graduated from elementary school with little knowledge is a flying genius. He not only passed the training but also got the pilot's license.

During World War II, he also participated in the Royal Air Force, and he performed well and became a'captain', commanding a small flying team flying over the Strait of Atlanta.

Fortunately, it was not shot down by Japan or Germany in World War II. After the end of World War II, the U.S. military had a large number of wartime weapons and equipment. At this time, the U.S. government was preparing to sell these equipment at a low price. After all, the warehouses were moldy and the annual maintenance was nothing. It is better to cash out if you want money.

Even airplanes are no exception. The US military sold the airplanes to World War II soldiers at a cabbage price ranging from US$10,000 to US$100,000. At that time, Cork took out his family and bought a family full of gunshots and half-filled oil. aircraft.

In this way, driving this old plane that seemed to fall apart at any time, full of gun-eyes, and possibly falling into the sea at any time because of its fuel exhaustion, Cork came to a small airline in California.

...

I have to say that although he was ignorant but eloquent, Cork persuaded the airline owner to buy the plane at a high price and convert it into a luxury plane.

In this way, I started to work as an airplane, but I made some money and even bought the airline directly and became my own boss.

When Li Feng saw this place at the time, he was taken aback, feeling in his heart that he was truly a strong man, and he turned the airline into his own after a meal. He was indeed an idol.

However, the competition among American airlines is too fierce, and Cork's small airlines are rivals of those large airlines.

However, Cork discovered an "exclusive business" that specifically "transported" Hollywood celebrities to get married or divorced in Las Vegas. After all, whether it is divorce or marriage in Las Vegas, the procedures are really famous. Simple and confidential.

For one hundred dollars a trip, business is booming.

It’s a pity that the celebrities and wealthy people who went to Las Vegas carried a lot of money and cash in their pockets. There was no place to spend in that ghost place, full of sand. They suggested Cork to invest in Las Vegas. This builds an entertainment center.

The speaker did not intend, the listener did, but Old Cork listened to this joke. In 1967, he sold the airline and gathered more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and spent 13 million to buy several pieces of Las Vegas. District golden land, start to build luxury hotels.

An ultra-luxury hotel was built that year, and gaming tables and theaters were moved into the hotel. It was called “guest blocking the tide”. In 1969, it cost 60 million US dollars to build the largest and most luxurious entertainment in the world. The venue-the World Hotel, opened its arms to gamblers across the United States, and then naturally made a lot of money.

I acquired MGM in the 1970s and renamed all the hotels under my name to MGM. After all, MGM's reputation is too great, which is conducive to the development of its own hotel industry, and then began to toss MGM.

From then on, Las Vegas began to rise, and the legend of gambling king Kirk Kerklien began.

...

Today's gambling king, with a net worth of billions, is a frequent visitor to the rich list every year. Naturally, Li Feng absolutely does not believe in the wealth of the rich list. After all, the wealth list is just counting the wealth of his hotel and entertainment centers. It's cash.

Moreover, when those prodigal gambling ghosts rise up and lose, they can mortgage everything. For decades, it is estimated that the gambling king himself has not known how much he has. This is also the gambling king. One of the reasons for being called the "most mysterious rich man", after all, there are so many gambling ghosts in the world, who knows what happened.

"Little guy, do you have to compete with me for MGM?"

"Old guy, I don't understand why you hold onto MGM. You have tossed MGM into this way for so many years. Are you not reconciled?"

"Don't you know that my hotel is called MGM? If MGM is acquired by you, wouldn't my hotel be worthy of its name?"

"Come on, old guy, who didn't know that you have been selling back and forth several times. If you really pay attention to the name of the hotel, you won't be so frustrated."

"Little guy, how can you give up competing with me for MGM."

At the same time, facing this scene like a conversation between the old and the little girl cursing on the street, the surrounding crowd was dumbfounded.

This is the case in Europe and the United States. When the benefits are large enough, people can put down the air.As long as Li Feng participates in the battle for MGM, then Bank of Lyon will be able to make a profit and sit back and watch Li Feng fight Cork.

Naturally, both sides are likely to be prepared for heavy bleeding. This is also the reason why the French proposed MGM to Li Feng, and it is also the reason why Cork was willing to talk to Li Feng here.

...

"Old guy, I have a good suggestion. Would you like to listen?"

"Little guy, I see if you have any good suggestions, let's talk."

"Well, let's talk on the terrace."

After speaking, Li Feng got up and walked directly towards the terrace. Naturally, seeing Li Feng's movements, the old guy paused for a while and followed Li Feng to the private terrace.
