Chapter 127: Gambling Tycoon
It should be noted that before Mo Green, the casinos in Las Vegas were all small venues, and no one had tried to build such a large hotel casino. The famous Caesars Palace and MGM Hotel did not appear in the future.
Since it is the first time to build such a large hotel in Las Vegas, it will naturally encounter many problems. Mo-Green personally revised the drawings, participated in the design of every detail, used the best building materials, and used his favorite lover's Nicknamed "Flamingo" to name the hotel, but after he spent a lot of money, he suddenly discovered a fatal flaw. There was a problem with the design of the air conditioner, and there was no way to adjust the temperature in such a large space.
This is really terrible. No gambler is willing to gamble in such a hot environment. Even the croupiers and waiters hired by the hotel will faint from the heat after staying in it for a while. How can such a hotel operate?
Mo-Green re-modified the design plan, but he found that in order to achieve the level he expected, at least an additional six million funds would be needed, and his past expenditure was only one million! You know, this was six million in 1945, and not many people could afford such a sum.
He frantically sold his house, his stocks, everything, and bet everything on the flamingo, but he only raised one million dollars, and there was still a gap of five million dollars , So, the Corleone family's opportunity has come.
When thinking of the name of the Flamingo Hotel, Shen Long couldn't help laughing. The name Flamingo comes from the shape of Mo-Green's lover. She has slender legs and likes to wear a red fur coat. She looks like a A tall and thin flamingo; this dress reminds Shen Long of Doflamingo in "One Piece", isn't he dressed like this?
There is also the Capone family in "One Piece". The Corleone family had conflicts with Al Capone before this. This is not the first time Shen Long encountered elements related to "One Piece" in this world. Think about Sha Las Vegas can be seen in the "Rain Banquet" of the crocodile in Alabasta's casino city, and in Taizog's Golden City in the theatrical version. Maybe Eiichiro Oda is also a fan of American gangsters.
After getting off the plane, I came to stay at the hotel I had booked. It didn’t take long for Mo-Green to find out that he was looking for him. He looked handsome, but his temper was very irritable. He was a bit like Santino. Hit.
In the early years, Mo Green worked as a thug in Brooklyn, New York, and his men killed a few people. Later, he came to Las Vegas to look for opportunities and built several small casinos, which brought him a lot of money. However, This didn't satisfy him, and that's why he had Flamingo. Although he was a boss now, he still had the habit of killing people in a fit of anger, and everyone around him was afraid of him.
"Fredo, welcome to Las Vegas, go sit down with me." Mo-Green spoke loudly. Although he needs the help of the Corleone family now, his words still have a taste of domineering, It can be seen that this is a very strong and paranoid person, if not for this, he would not be so obsessed with the flamingo.
"No problem, I like this place!" Shen Long agreed with a smile. What he likes is the money it can bring him. Think about it, once the super luxurious Flamingo is built, how many people are willing to go to those places? How about playing in a small and crowded casino?
Entering Mo-Green's casino, oh no, this place doesn't belong to him anymore. For the sake of the flamingo, it was sold to someone else long ago, but Mo-Green still has a considerable degree of influence on this place.
"Give this guy some chips and let him gamble." Mo-Green pointed to Willy-Qiqi and said, he wanted to push this guy away so that he could talk to Shen Long in detail. Mo-Green thought he might be just a mouthpiece. Bring the news back to New York and leave it to the old godfather to decide.
"Give me some too! I want to play too." Shen Long threw a check, he didn't take the chip from Mo Green, he didn't want to start negotiations so early,
Going to let Mo-Green dry first.
"Fredo, Las Vegas is not the same as New York! Be careful not to lose it all!" Mo Green said with a pun, referring to these chips on the one hand, and implying that he might accept Corleone The family's funds, but absolutely unwilling to lose control of the Flamingo, he felt that without him, the Corleone family would not be able to do well in Las Vegas.
"Give it a try!" Shen Long shrugged. With A Xing's special function, it might not be easy to lose in gambling. Shen Long took the chips from the waiter and came to the gambling table with the highest bet.
This is a blackjack gaming table. The dealer issues two cards to each gambler. If the total points of the two cards he gets for the first time is 21, he can win double the bet. If the points are less than 21, You can ask the dealer to deal more cards; more than blackjack counts as a loss, and those whose points are less than or equal to the dealer are considered to be the dealer's winner.
The rules are very simple. Shen Long, who has the ability to see through, can be said to be invincible in this kind of game. He can see clearly what the dealer's hole cards are, and he can also see clearly what cards are going to be dealt to himself next. With the right choice, in a short while, the chips in front of him doubled and doubled.
"-Jack, I won again!" Shen Long revealed his hole cards. It was a combination of K and A. It happened to be blackjack, and the dealer had to pay double.
"It seems that I am lucky today, this is for you." Shen Long threw a large chip to the dealer, and asked with concern, "Is the air conditioning system here not so good? I see that your sweat has stained your clothes. Are you all soaked? Why don't you go down and rest first?"
Mo-Green, who was not far away, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this. Now he gets angry when he hears the air conditioner.
"Forget it, blackjack is not interesting, let's change the game!" Shen Long asked Willi-Qiqi to help him carry the chips to the dice table.
He walked from one end of the casino to the other, played all the items in the casino, from Stud to Texas Hold'em, from roulette to slot machines, no matter what game he played, he played all kinds of games. They stopped playing, and followed him to bet one after another, so that the casino manager had to come out to stop Shen Long.
"Sir, the game here is too small. If you want to play a bigger game, please go to the VIP room inside." This is a euphemistic way of saying that Shen Long is no longer welcome to continue playing in the casino.
"Forget it, I'm tired of playing today, Mr. Mo-Green is still waiting for me over there!" Shen Long finished the game and came to Mo-Green's side, "Mo, we can talk now!"
