Chapter 168: Mike's New Life
Shen Long, Situ Hua, and Mr. Huo were busy discussing smuggling channels, while Ye Han participated in the competition in the casino. In terms of poker games, his level was considered top-notch. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and was eliminated without entering the money circle. Yes, but in the dice exhibition game, he was in the limelight.
The dice cups in Las Vegas have not yet been modified, and an experienced gambler like Ye Han can hear a lot of useful information from the sound of the dice. The first place in the dice competition, thus awarded the title of "World Dice King", and a gold medal.
With this medal, he made a big splash in Las Vegas and became the idol of many gamblers. Many people wanted to learn the technique of listening to dice from him. Unfortunately, Ye Han turned around and suggested that Shen Long modify the dice cup, which greatly Weaken the sound of the dice in the dice cup, and let these gamblers lose their dream of getting rich by listening to the dice.
The rest of the games also came to an end, and Johnny Mousse won the championship again, and Dantrous also entered the money circle with the sponsorship of Shen Long, and gained a lot, which saved him from the fate of quitting high-stakes games like in history , he is now soaking in the Flamingo Club all day, honing his skills, hoping to win the championship in the next competition.
At the end of the game, the reputation of the Flamingo Club has been raised to a higher level. Not only has it become a holy place for gamblers all over the United States, but even many foreign tourists who come to the United States have listed Las Vegas and the Flamingo Club among themselves. on the schedule.
"If this continues, the number of tourists in Las Vegas will soon be able to support the second and third luxury casinos. We must speed up the construction progress." Tom Hagen said enthusiastically, Shen Long's This series of operations made him admire. The Flamingo Club has long since gotten rid of losses and brought huge profits to the family.
"I'll leave these things to you to keep an eye on. The drawings of the design office will be finalized soon, and the workers will soon have work to do." The construction workers' union is also controlled by gangsters. It costs money, but no construction worker union in the United States dares to ask them for money, and many union leaders also regard this as a good opportunity to improve their relationship with the Corleone family, not afraid that they will not work hard.
"Are you leaving Las Vegas? Where are you going? Is it Europe or somewhere else?" Tom asked curiously, shouldn't he be in Las Vegas at this time?
"You can take care of these routine tasks. I'm going to see Mike; let someone inform Zhang Ni-Mousse and Dantraus, and they will go with me." Shen Long gave the order.
This order made Tom confused again, why did he bring two gamblers to visit Mike? Not only he was puzzled, but so were Moose and Dantraus, but when they arrived at Columbia University, the answer was soon revealed.
"Hi Mike,
These two are Johnny Mousse and Nicholas Dantrauss. "In the hotel outside Columbia University, Shen Long introduced the two of them to Mike.
"I know that many students in school now regard them as their idols." Mike shrugged. College students regard gamblers as idols, which is a bit hard to say.
"In addition to seeing you this time, I have another thing I want to cooperate with your school." Shen Long said his intention of coming, "The mathematics department of your school seems to be pretty good, I want to find a professor, and the two of them We will work together to publish a monograph on poker games, and study the probability of winning in poker games from a scientific and practical point of view.”
Although the mathematics department of Columbia University is not as good as that of Princeton and Harvard, it is not difficult at all to deal with this small problem.
In the future, there will be many monographs on poker games, such as Doyle Bronson's "Super System" on Texas Hold'em, Ben-Mozrich's "Decisive Blackjack", Edward Thorpe's "Beat the Dealer" and so on.
After studying these books carefully, many gamblers will think that they have found the true meaning of winning at the poker table, rush to Las Vegas with money, and then lose all... Making these books in advance can attract More people come to Las Vegas to gamble, which is good for their business.
Moreover, you can make a lot of money just by selling books. Now that Johnny Mousse and Dantraus are the most famous, publishing a book under their names will definitely become a bestseller.
"This is an interesting research. I think some professors will be willing. I will go to the mathematics department to ask in a while." Mike readily agreed, and soon found a suitable candidate for him and Zhang Ni-Rock Si and Dantraus went to the next room to study poker games, while Mike stayed here and talked about his recent life with Shen Long.
"Mr. Eisenhower still retains the title of presidential advisor, so he needs to go to Washington frequently to discuss state affairs, and it is difficult for professors to see him; but he can draw a lot of donations to the school by virtue of his reputation, so it is difficult for professors to say anything; He also often took me to watch the students' sports games and talked with them cordially. The students all liked him and said, "The principals in the past were too sanctimonious and not as friendly as Ike." "Ike was Eisenhower's Nick name.
"Being close to the people is an essential quality for a politician, and he is worth learning in this regard." Shen Long reminded.
"Yes, how should I put it, he is the kind of person who is easy to win the favor of others. I am also working hard on this. As long as I am not too busy, I will go back to the stadium to play a few games with the students and listen to their opinions. The school’s suggestions, and then sorted out several new regulations based on these suggestions, and submitted them to Ike, and the response was very good.” Mike made rapid progress, and he has gradually adapted to the status of a political figure.
"Now the United States and some Western European countries are preparing to establish a military cooperation organization against the Red Empire. After it is established, Eisenhower is likely to go to Europe to take an important position in this organization." After more than a year, Eisenhower will go to France to serve as the NATO Europe Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, "You can use this time to increase your contacts with those big consortia, and leave a deep enough impression in front of them to pave the way for your future."
Mike used to be a soldier. If he had his previous temperament, he would definitely be more willing to go to Europe with Eisenhower, but after seeing the truth about American politics, he was more interested in political games, so he agreed without hesitation. Long's prophecy was extremely trustworthy.
