Chapter 479 Killer
"This is America, the cradle of capitalism!"

Looking at the tall buildings standing outside the car window, Qin Feng actually felt like a country bumpkin entering the city. He has never been to Hong Kong Island, so he doesn't know what it is like there, but comparing it with Australia Island, it is obviously not as good as Las Vegas more prosperous.

The weather in May is approaching summer, and the noon sun is a bit hot, but the streets of Las Vegas are still full of people, as if tourists from all over the world gather here.

"Brother Hao, why is it so lively here?"

Qin Feng felt a little puzzled in his heart. Even in the tiny island of Australia, he had never seen so many tourists. Apart from gambling, Las Vegas must have other attractions to attract tourists.

"Brother Wu, Las Vegas is not only a gambling city, but also a world-famous wedding capital."

Chen Shihao smiled and pointed to a place across the street, where there was a long queue, including young and old, and even couples holding babies.

"Are those people here to get married?" Qin Feng was dumbfounded, because he did see many people wearing wedding dresses with happy smiles on their faces.

Chen Shihao nodded and said, "That's right, getting married in Las Vegas is very easy..."

The place Chen Shihao pointed out is a marriage registry office in Las Vegas that never closes. On average, nearly 12 couples of men and women come here to register for marriage every year, of which foreigners and foreigners account for 65%-75%.

At the marriage registration office, you only need to show the supporting documents, the driver's license is fine, and then pay the registration fee of 60 US dollars, you can get the marriage license within 15 minutes, and then find a priest in a nearby church to hold the wedding ceremony, and the marriage can be completed .

If men and women who come to Las Vegas alone to get married have no relatives, friends or acquaintances to witness the marriage, they can just pull a stranger on the street to be a witness, provided that they tip the other party dozens of dollars.

For the thrill of it all, people can hold a helicopter or balloon wedding in the sky, accompanied by a priest, and such weddings can cost several thousand dollars.Some people vividly say that getting married in Las Vegas is as convenient as eating fast food.

Marriage is easy, and divorce is naturally easy.

According to Nevada law, as long as one of the parties has lived in Las Vegas for 3 months, people can get a divorce certificate. Many movie stars and celebrities like to get married in Las Vegas and eventually get divorced in this city.

"I also came to this place 30 years ago, and I saw Bruce Lee here." Seeing the bustling crowd lined up in a long line, Chen Shihao showed a gloomy look on his face.

Thirty years ago, Chen Shihao was still a lousy boy who wandered around the streets, but he met a good girl. With the savings he earned from work, the girl broke through family barriers and married Chen Shihao in Las Vegas. .

After getting married, Chen Shihao entered Ye Han's gambling kingdom, but he didn't have the talent like Henry Wei.

As the saying goes, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Although Chen Shihao pays attention to his family and never lets his wife show his face in front of others, but once when he was shopping with his wife, he met his enemy head-on.

In a melee, Chen Shihao's wife was stabbed three times in order to protect her husband, and died after being sent to the hospital. This made Chen Shihao extremely sad. It doesn't help.

The two have not been married for a long time, and they have not left any children, but Chen Shihao's wife has died for more than 20 years. Although there have been women, they have never married again.

At this moment, seeing the place where they made love back then, even Chen Shihao, a big boss in Australia, couldn't help but feel a little sad. Before his eyes, he seemed to see the smiling little girl in a checkered skirt back then.

"Brother Hao, we're here!" Ah Kun's voice interrupted Chen Shihao's thoughts.

Looking up, the car had already parked in the underground parking lot of the MGM Grand Hotel. More than a dozen people got off from the cars that came in earlier, and surrounded Chen Shihao and his car in the middle.

"Danny, don't you need such a big ostentation? I have been to Las Vegas, and the security here is not that bad..."

Henry Wei felt that Chen Shihao was making a big deal out of a fuss. He had accompanied Ye Han to gamble several times in Las Vegas, but as Ye Han, he didn't make any fuss about Chen Shihao.

"Now it's different from the past. Some people can do anything, so they have to guard against..."

Chen Shihao shook his head, and said: "During the Gambling King Competition last year, a local gambling king in Las Vegas was shot dead in the parking lot, and the Yamaguchi-gumi and the mafia were in trouble because of this... "

Gambling has always been on the fringes of the law. Even in cities like Las Vegas and Australia Island where gambling is allowed by law, most of this industry is controlled by well-established associations.

Just like the MGM Casino, there is the shadow of the American Mafia behind it, and the Caesars Palace Hotel not far from the MGM Hotel is said to be the industry of the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi.

In addition, like Rolling Stone Casino, Venetian Casino, Monte Carlo Casino, etc., among these casinos, in order to compete for resources, I am afraid that different secret battles are staged every day.

Behind the prosperity is the bloodshed. Although there is a tacit understanding among the various casinos, that is, assassinations are not allowed, but when huge interests are involved, such things still happen from time to time.

Especially during the Gambling King Contest, which represented the imminent redistribution of power, interests and territory, assassinations appeared one after another. Otherwise, Chen Shihao would not have specially sent a group of his men to smuggle to the United States.

Of course, these subordinates may not necessarily all be used to protect themselves. At some point, they can also act as killers, pulling out some nails that hinder their progress.

"No rules are the best rules." After hearing Chen Shihao's explanation, Qin Feng's eyes showed a gleam.

Qin Feng originally thought that he would go to Washington or New York to find members of the killer organization, but now it seems that they should have a stronghold in Las Vegas.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine once you enter the hotel."

Chen Shihao said: "All assassinations are confined outside the hotel, as long as we enter the hotel, no force will touch us again."

As a world-renowned tourist city, the melee between gangs must be hidden in the darkness that ordinary people cannot find, and the appearance is still very bright, otherwise the US government may be involved.

When taking the elevator to the ground lobby to go through the formalities, Chen Shihao pointed to the guests and said, "This year's Gambler Contest is held at MGM, and more than half of the tourists here are here for the Gambler Contest..."

In order to attract gamblers, the Gambling King Contest needs to rank the world rankings for the new year within the gambling world, but for tourists, it is a grand carnival.

During the gambling king contest, all tourists can get fifty dollars in chips for free, and then sign up to participate in the outer knockout round of the gambling king contest. All the money they win will belong to themselves.

Moreover, the tourist with the highest ranking among them will also receive a grand prize of 100 million US dollars from the organizer, so during the Gambling King Competition in May, people from all over the world will always be attracted.

"It's a very good marketing strategy. I'm afraid that by holding a gambling king contest, these casinos will be able to make a lot of money."

After a little calculation in his mind, Qin Feng figured out the way to go. The threshold for participating in the knockout round of the Gambling King Competition is very low, only [-] US dollars is required to register, and this fee will also be distributed to tourists as chips.

But trying to compete with fifty dollars is simply a fantasy.

Because the minimum bet for each game in the Gambling King Contest is [-] US dollars, that is to say, after these tourists sign up, if they lose the first game and are unwilling to pay again, they will lose their qualifications for the game.

People who can come to Las Vegas still have some family background, so many people will spend thousands of dollars to try their luck.

It is not a lot for a person to spend thousands of dollars, but if this number is multiplied by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, it will be terrifying.

Someone once estimated that during the Gambling King Competition, the profit earned from the tourists who joined in the fun was as high as billions of dollars, and the duration of the Gambling King Competition was only a short two weeks.

So in Las Vegas, the three casinos that dominate the gambling king contest take turns to sit on the bank, and they come up with many tricks every year to attract tourists. In the hotel lobby of MGM, there are all kinds of publicity about the gambling king contest list and registration point.

After checking in, Chen Shihao handed Qin Feng a hotel room card and said, "Brother Wu, you and Henry live in the presidential suite, and we live on the lower floor. If you need anything, just call me. "

As early as the end of last year's gambling king competition, Chen Shihao booked a hotel in the name of participating in the gambling king competition, but even so, he still only booked a presidential suite, which shows how popular the gambling king competition is.

"Brother Hao, you should live in the presidential suite with Henry."

Qin Feng shook his head, handed the room card to Henry Wei, and said, "I'll just live in the common room below. It's hard for me to go abroad. I can go out when I have nothing to do."

Qin Feng knows that although the MGM Hotel has more than 5000 rooms, there are only 1 presidential suites and even rarer villa rooms. Even if the daily cost is as high as more than [-] US dollars, the supply is still in short supply during the Gambling King Competition .

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Although Qin Feng has changed his appearance, he doesn't want to live in a ostentatious place like the presidential suite. He heard from Chen Shihao just now that most of the people who usually live there are at the level of Arab crown princes.

"Well, anyway, you won't make a shot in the knockout round, so I'll let you be a dark one."

Chen Shihao thought for a while and agreed. For him, Qin Feng is the trump card for Henry to win the title of gambling king. It is indeed not appropriate to attract the attention of others too early.
