...

Sheldon Adelson, who made a lot of money in the exhibition economy model, had too much ideas in business. However, when he spent a honeymoon in Venice, which was named "Water Capital", he had a crazy idea of ​​building a luxury hotel in the style of "Water Capital".

The geographical characteristics of Las Vegas are well known - located in Nevada's valley surrounded by desolate deserts and semi-desert areas, with little rainfall.

It is obvious how difficult it is for Sheldon Adelson to realize his business idea. For example, in terms of funds, at least $1.5 billion is required.

It was in this case that when SoftBank made the request to acquire COMDEX at the right time, Sheldon Adelson did not hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity of the market to agree.

Among the more than $800 million transactions, Sheldon Adelson can get more than $500 million, which is self-evident for his launch of the "Venetian Hotel" construction plan.

The media's reaction to this was first of all the surprise - as this year's COMDEX Las Vegas Fall Exhibition is about to open, the commercial achievements of the Internet development that will be displayed in front of the public are very eye-catching, but I didn't expect that the boss will change people all at once.

Then the question is - can the unknown SoftBank host the first grand event of COMDEX, the IT industry?

In order to eliminate this question to the public, the thin Masayoshi Son made a brilliant debut and was naturally successfully "created" and became a business star with a rapid rise in reputation.

Tang Huan was happy to see it happening, and even took a lead to help him grow his momentum.

On the other hand, Sheldon Adelson, who sold out COMDEX, in turn regarded the richest man who continued to be ranked first in the Forbes 400 Rich List this year as a lobbyist target and wanted to bring him into his grand business plan.

Speaking of which, Tang Huan and Sheldon Adelson have known each other for more than ten years. Although their respective careers are developing leaps and bounds, the development level is obviously incomparable. Tang Huan is the richest man in the world, and Sheldon Adelson is still a bit far from the title of King of Gambling Sands.

Sheldon Adelson lobbies the richest man from the hotel. In 1988, he bought the Las Vegas Sands Casino Hotel and had a very unique business perspective.

At present, the guest rooms in various hotels in Las Vegas are often not large, because operators want customers to spend more time in casinos.

In contrast, Sheldon Adelson, who summarized a unique set of experiences from the exhibition economy model, has the opposite strategy, namely, created luxurious rooms equipped with mini bars and large-screen TVs to create more comfortable work and vacation spaces.

On the surface, Tang Huan listened carefully to Sheldon Adelson's endless introduction to the feasibility of this "unorthodox" business strategy, but he was not very interested in it.

It is true that in time and space, at least before the global economic crisis in 2008, Sheldon Adelson's career was developing rapidly and became the name of the King of Gambling in Sands. Following him to invest, he was very busy, but he had more money. For him, wealth was indeed a number of richest man, who was a bit keen on and was not willing to get involved in this field.

However, Sheldon Adelson, a historical connection, should be available in the future, especially the casino economy has extraordinary significance for the development of certain special regions. Even in the original time and space, RB is actively promoting the legalization of casinos, so it is not easy to save the other party's face.

Finally, the richest man replied: "I am really not familiar with this field, and I am about to start a residential project for myself. The cash flow is limited and I can only pay $50 million."

In fact, the $50 million is no longer a small amount of the "Venetian Hotel" construction plan with a budget of $1.5 billion, but it seems to be a little petty because it is made by the richest man.

Sheldon Adelson, who was slightly disappointed, asked curiously: "Do you want to build a new mansion? I don't know what it looks like."

"It mainly reflects some of my technology and environmental protection concepts, so the cost is a little higher, and the preliminary budget should be around 200 million US dollars." Tang Huan replied frankly.

When she heard this answer, Sheldon Adelson was speechless. This was really awesome. She spent $1.5 billion to build a hotel and do business; she would spend $200 million to invest in a luxury house alone.

This matter was quickly investigated by the ubiquitous media and published in the public, hyped into the world's number one high-tech luxury home.

The United States has never shortage of luxury houses. Ordinary people are no longer surprised by the rich people's spending money. However, it is not easy to form a cognitive impression for a luxury house that costs at least $200 million.

To this end, the media gave a vivid description of tax payments that everyone has the most experienced - after this world's first high-tech luxury house is completed, Tang Huan will pay more than US$1 million in taxes on it every year.

The media answered questions so tirelessly, and people finally realized it and took a breath of air conditioning - such luxury houses, aprons, stadiums, collection halls, etc. must be indispensable, right?

The paparazzi who further spyed on the news broke the news in a tone of looking down at the local buns - these are not the key points, this mansion pursues the perfect fusion of art, environmental protection and technology.

First of all, in terms of design plans, it has taken nearly six years to officially start construction, and the budget has also risen along the way, from tens of millions of dollars to 200 million dollars.

This shows how picky the taste of the owner of the luxury house is. In order to achieve the ideal combination of Chinese and Western styles, the designers have worked hard.

Of course, the environmental protection concept that the richest man has been pursuing for a long time must also be reflected. Solar energy, drainage, garbage disposal, greening and other aspects are said to have received a satisfactory evaluation of "harmony between man and nature".

Since it has been hyped by the media as the world's number one high-tech luxury home, high-tech is undoubtedly the biggest feature. Many research and development achievements of Silicon Valley leaders will be applied and equipped as a home of futures that will only be found in science fiction movies.

Judging from the fragmented revelations, the entire mansion will be filled with various sensors, bringing all environmental changes through the network, especially the wireless network, to the control center - the owner only needs a remote control in his hand to do everything in his control.

In addition, if a robot occurs to serve tea and water, cleaning and security services, it will never be surprising.

Although the media reports about this mansion were somewhat unreliable except for the $200 million confirmed, the gossipers were still happy to discuss it, and even created rumors that there were more than 100 bedrooms alone, and the purpose was naturally to accommodate those women who were related to the richest man in Tang.

As we see, the hype of the world's number one high-tech luxury house is about to be led to the direction of the world's number one unpredictable luxury palace.

Fortunately, at this time, someone jumped out and stole the limelight, which made everyone's attention unknowingly divert.

Through its nearly exclusive coverage of the Gulf War, CNN has soared into the sky and quickly became an internationally renowned media with global influence.

As the boss, Ted Turner's glory is not to be said. But he seems not satisfied with this, and then he made a big move, that is, when getting married, his partner is naturally the two-time Oscar winner, Jane Fonda.

Speaking of which, these two people are not the first marriage, they are entering the marriage hall for the third time, but as celebrities, every move they make are eye-catching.

For the marriage of Tom Cruise and others, the richest man can "be polite to others", but Ted Turner's connections must not be so "negligent".

Shortly after the two met, Tang Huan frowned and asked, "Cable News Network made a mistake when it was broadcasting the news about the black Rodney King being beaten by a white policeman?"

Ted Turner replied angrily: "For the sake of ratings, the local TV station KTLA of Los Angeles, cut the videotapes of more than 80 seconds into less than 70 seconds, missing the key image of Rodney King rushing to the police, and then gave it to the cable network, and then spread it to various TV stations across the United States."

The Rodney King they talked about was a black man born in Sacramento, the capital of California, in 1965. He was sentenced to probation in 1987 for domestic violence. But the previous year, he was sentenced to two years in prison for robbing a convenience store with a tire disassembly tool and injured a clerk. However, due to his good performance in prison, he was released on bail on December 27 last year. One of the conditions for serving his sentence offender was that he could not drink alcohol.

Unfortunately, Rodney King broke the precepts. On the evening of March 3, on parole, he watched a baseball game at his friend's house in Los Angeles and drank three bottles of strong gin. After the game, he and two other black friends, three of them, drove west on Highway 210 with two other black friends.

The next scene is conceivable, which is the real version of the popular video game "Need for Speed".

Rodney King and his three-person car drove faster than the highway speed limit, exceeded 177 kilometers per hour, crossed several red lights, and almost caused a traffic accident. It was not until 0:45 at night that it was parked in front of an entertainment venue under the siege of three Los Angeles Police Department police cars and a police helicopter.

At the request of the police to "leave the vehicle and lie on the ground face down as the standard of a serious crime", Rodney King's two friends did so, and were safe and sound, but Rodney King himself slowly left the vehicle, twisting his butt, and making insulting actions against the female police officer Melanie present.

Then the full martial arts that subdued the super strong man was staged - four Los Angeles police officers began to approach Rodney King, one of whom tried to press his back with his knees, but was thrown away; then the police used a stun gun and a metal baton.

I have to say that Rodney King, who is 1.9 meters tall, has a strong ability to resist hits. The police waved a total of 56 batons. After 33 of them, he begged for mercy and was handcuffed and handed to the ambulance to take him to the hospital for emergency treatment.

In this scene, the process from the time Rodney King stood up and rushed to the police officer after being knocked down for the second time to the end of the attack, was captured by nearby resident George Halletti on a camera from his apartment, which lasted about 81 seconds, and then handed over to the TV station.

The problem followed. In order to attract attention, the TV station KTLA, which first received the video tape, conducted editing for sensational purposes and spread it through CNN.

The issue of racial discrimination is world-renowned for its sensitivity in the United States, and CNN's current political influence is extraordinary. Once the news is broadcast, it caused an uproar.

The current result is that during the trial, Rodney King himself did not testify in court for alcoholism, speeding, and refusal to stop. The prosecution of his speeding arrest was abandoned. On March 15 this year, four police officers were prosecuted for excessive violence against Rodney King. Rodney King and his lawyers claimed $56 million in compensation, that is, $1 million in one baton. According to the process, the case will not be judged until next year.

The reason why Tang Huan paid special attention to this matter is because in his impression, this was the inducement of the 1992 Los Angeles riot.

The richest man is a businessman and has many investments in California. Once a mess of smashing, looting and burning starts, the most unlucky one is often a minority like him.

Ted Turner continued: "It was not until three weeks later that the CNN headquarters knew that the video I got was a cut version, and I had asked them to fill in the cut part."

It is obvious that Ted Turner was just annoyed by being fooled, and as for the bad effects of fanning the flames caused by this news incident, he paid very little attention.

Tang Huan stressed depressedly: "But influential media such as ABC, National Broadcasting Corporation, and CBS are still citing abridged version of the video."

"For the sake of ratings, the media industry is now the unspoken rule. Moreover, everyone is happy to watch such explosive news." Ted Turner shrugged, "I have no choice. Cable News Network has made up for this mistake in time and has done its best."

Tang Huan nodded helplessly. It seems that in the final analysis, he has to rely on his own strength to prevent it. Fortunately, the United States can carry a gun.
