Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Sheldon Adelson, who has made a lot of money in the economic model of exhibitions, is too creative in business. Only after spending a honeymoon in Venice, which has the title of "Water Capital" in Italy, he created a "water city". The crazy idea of ​​a "Capital" style luxury hotel.

The geographical features of Las Vegas are well known-it is located in a valley area surrounded by desolate deserts and semi-deserts in Nevada, with very little rainfall.

From this it is obvious how difficult it is for Sheldon Adelson to realize his business vision. For example, in terms of funding, at least US$1.5 billion needs to be spent.

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

In this transaction of more than 800 million US dollars, Sheldon Adelson can get a share of more than 500 million US dollars, which is self-evident for his launch of the "Venetian Hotel" construction plan.

The media’s response to this is first and foremost an accident. Seeing that this year’s Comdex Las Vegas Fall Fair is about to open, the commercial results on Internet development that will be displayed to the public are very eye-catching. Unexpectedly, the club suddenly changed.

Then the question is coming-can the little-known SoftBank successfully host the first event of comdex, the IT industry?

In order to eliminate this question from the public, Sun Zhengyi, a small figure, made his debut, and was naturally successfully "made a star", becoming a commercial star with a rapid rise in prestige.

Tang Huan was pleased to see his success, and even set aside a hand to help him gain momentum.

On the other hand, Sheldon Adelson, who sold out comdex, in turn regarded the richest man who continued to be the number one in this year’s "Forbes US 400 Rich List" as a lobbying object, and wanted to pull 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 businesses are developing by leaps and bounds, the height of their development is obviously not the same-Tang Huangui is the richest man in the world. And Sheldon Adelson is still some distance away from the title of Sands Gambling King.

Sheldon Adelson came to lobby the richest man from the perspective of hotel management. When he bought the Las Vegas Sands Casino Hotel in 1988, his business perspective was very different.

At this stage, the rooms in Las Vegas hotels are often small in size, and Gein operators want customers to spend more time in casinos to spend.

In contrast, Sheldon Adelson, who has summarized a set of unique experience from the economic model of the exhibition, has his strategy to do the opposite, namely to create luxurious rooms equipped with mini bars and large-screen TVs. Create a more comfortable working and holiday space.

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

It is true that in the original time and space, at least before the global economic crisis in 2008, Sheldon Adelson’s career was flourishing, and he became famous as the King of Sands. It can be said that following him investment can be described as worry-free and effortless, but The richest man, who has more ways to come to money and whose wealth is indeed a number, is a bit cherish the feathers and is reluctant to get involved in this field.

It’s just that Sheldon Adelson’s historical network should still 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, therefore, it is not easy to sweep the opponent's face.

Finally, the richest man replied: "I am really unfamiliar with this field, and I am about to start a residential project for myself, the cash flow is limited, only 50 million US dollars."

In fact, US$50 million is no small amount for the construction plan of the "Venetian Hotel" with a budget of US$1.5 billion. It is just that it is made by the richest man, that it seems a bit petty.

Sheldon Adelson, who was a little disappointed, asked curiously: "Is Tang going to build a new mansion? I don't know what it looks like."

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

Upon hearing this answer, Sheldon Adelson was speechless. This is really a human being. He spent 1.5 billion US dollars to build a hotel to do business; if he is just a comfortable home, he would have to spend 200 million US dollars in it.

The matter was quickly discovered by the pervasive media and was announced to the public, making it the world's number one high-tech mansion.

The United States has always had no shortage of luxury homes, and ordinary people have been surprised by the money-burning tricks of the rich. The luxury homes that can cost at least 200 million US dollars are not easy to form a cognitive impression for a while.

For this reason, the media gave a vivid description through everyone's most experienced tax payment-after the completion of this world's first high-tech mansion, Tang Huan will pay more than $1 million in taxes for it every year.

The media was so tireless to answer questions and questions, people finally realized it, and then took a breath of air-conditioning like this kind of mansion, apron, stadium, collection hall, etc., must be indispensable, right?

The paparazzi who further spied on the news broke the news with the tone of looking down on the dumplings-these are not the key points. This mansion pursues the perfect fusion of art, environmental protection and technology.

First of all, in terms of the design plan, it has taken nearly six years until the construction is officially started, and the budget has also risen all the way, from tens of millions of US dollars to 200 million US dollars.

This shows how critical the taste of the owner of the luxury house is. In order to achieve the ideal combination of Chinese and Western, the designers can be described as painstakingly.

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, etc. are said to have been satisfactorily evaluated as "Heaven and Man are one".

Since it has been hyped by the media as the world's number one high-tech mansion, high-tech is undoubtedly the biggest feature. Many of the research and development achievements of Silicon Valley leaders will be applied, and they will be equipped into the future home of science fiction movies.

Judging from the fragmented news, the entire mansion will be covered with various sensors, and all environmental changes will be collected through the network, especially the wireless network, to the control center-the owner only needs one in his hand. The remote control can do everything under control.

In addition, it would not be surprising if there were robots offering services such as serving tea and water, cleaning and security.

Although the media reports about this mansion, apart from the confirmation of the cost of 200 million US dollars, are somewhat unreliable in other aspects, gossips are still enthusiastic about it, and even produced more than 100 bedrooms alone. Rumor has it that the purpose is naturally to relocate those women who have a wealthy relationship with the head of Tang.

Seeing, the hype of the world's number one high-tech mansion is about to be skewed and headed straight for the world's number one desolate and innocent luxury palace.

Fortunately, at this moment, a person jumped out to steal the limelight, and then everyone's attention was shifted away unknowingly.

Through nearly exclusive reports on 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 beauty, needless to say. But he didn't seem to be satisfied with this, and then made a big move, that is, getting married, the target is naturally the two-time Oscar queen-Jane Fonda.

Speaking of which, these two are not part of the first marriage, they are both entering the marriage hall for the third time, but celebrities, every move attracts people's attention.

For the wedding of Tom Cruise and others, the richest man can be "really courteous", but Ted Turner's level of connections must not be so "nebulous".

Soon after the two met, Tang Huan frowned slightly and asked: "When CNN broadcast the news about the black Rodney King being assaulted by the white police, did it make a mistake?"

Ted Turner replied angrily: "The **** of the local Los Angeles TV station, for the sake of ratings, cut the 80-second video tape into a fragment of less than 70 seconds, and missed Rodney. ·Kim pounced on the key footage of the police, then gave it to CNN, and then spread the news programs to various TV stations across the United States."

The Rodney King they were talking about was a black man born in Sacramento, California, in 1965. He was sentenced to probation in 1987 for domestic violence; the year before, he robbed a convenience store with a tire removal tool. 200 He was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for robbery, and was sentenced to two years in prison for robbery. However, he was released on bail on December 27 last year due to his good performance in prison. One of the conditions for serving his sentence outside of prison was that he could not drink alcohol.

It’s a pity that Rodney King broke the ring. On the evening of March 3 this year, he was on parole. He watched a baseball game at a friend’s house in Los Angeles and drank three bottles of strong duo. Cinnamon; After the game, with two other black friends, a total of three people, drove westward on Highway 210 in the same car.

The next scene, one can imagine, is the realistic version of the popular video game "Need for Speed".

The Rodney King’s car drove beyond the speed limit of the highway, exceeded 177 kilometers per hour, ran through several red lights, and almost caused a traffic accident; it was not until 0:45 in the night. After being chased by three Los Angeles Police Department police cars and a police helicopter, they stopped in front of an entertainment venue.

At the request of the police to “leave the vehicle and lie face down on the ground according to the standards of a serious offender”, Rodney King’s two friends did so and were safe, but Rodney King himself slowly left the vehicle , Twisting his butt, made insulting actions to the female police officer Melanie present.

Then the martial arts to subdue the super strong man was staged-four Los Angeles police officers approached Rodney King, one of them tried to press his knees on his back, but was thrown away; then the police used stun guns And metal batons.

It has to be said that Rodney King, who is 1.9 meters tall, is very capable of fighting. The police waved a total of 56 batons. He begged for mercy after 33 hits. He was handcuffed and handed to an ambulance. Sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

In this scene, from the time Rodney King got up and threw himself at the police officer after he was electrocuted for the second time, to the end of the attack, he was caught by a nearby resident, George Halliday, from his apartment. It was taken with a camera, which lasted about 81 seconds, and then passed to the TV station.

The problem ensues. In order to attract attention, the TV station that first got the video tape edited it for sensational purposes and spread it through CNN.

The sensitivity of racial discrimination in the United States is world-renowned, and the current political influence of CNN ~www.readwn.com~ is not trivial. Once the news was broadcast, it caused an uproar.

The result of the current settlement is: Rodney King himself did not testify under oath in court on issues such as drunk, speeding, refusal to stop, etc.; the original prosecution against him for speeding arrest and other charges was abandoned; and on March 15 this year , Four police officers were prosecuted for excessive violence against Rodney King; Rodney King and his lawyers seek compensation of US$56 million, which is US$1 million for a baton.

According to the process, this case will not have a trial result until next year.

The reason why Tang Huan pays special attention to this matter is because in his memory, this was the inducement of the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

The richest man is a businessman, and he has many investments in California. Once there is a chaos of smashing, looting, looting and burning, the most unlucky ones are often minorities like him.

Ted Turner went on to say: "It wasn't until three weeks later that the CNN headquarters knew that the video they got was a cut version. I have asked them to add the cut."

Obviously, Ted Turner was only annoyed because he was fooled. As for the bad influence caused by this news event, he paid very little attention.

Tang Huan emphasized gloomily: "But influential media such as ABC, National Broadcasting Corporation, and CBS are still citing the cut-down version of the video."

"For the audience rating, the media industry is now the unspoken rule. Moreover, everyone is happy to watch such hot news." Ted Turner shrugged, "I have no way. CNN can make up for this mistake in time. Benevolence and justice are exhausted."

Tang Huan nodded helplessly-it seemed that, in the final analysis, he had to rely on his own strength for prevention. Fortunately, the United States can hold guns.
