"Xiao Huo? He doesn't gamble much, does he?" Ye Han was a little surprised. It was true that he and Xiao Huo were friends, but Xiao Huo had always been in the shipping industry and had nothing to do with gambling.

"I don't know about that. The list was decided by Las Vegas. I must invite you two to the United States." Situ Hua didn't understand the key here either.

"Let me go with you to find Xiao Huo!" They invited people from Hongmen in the United States to invite them. This honor must be given no matter what, so Ye Han and Situ Hua went to find Xiao Huo and persuaded him to agree.

The two arranged their respective business affairs and followed Szeto Hua to the United States. When they docked at the San Francisco Pier, they were received by representatives of the Hongmen Anliang Hall and Huang Zongzhan, who came all the way from Hollywood.

After some sightseeing in San Francisco, they met the speaker of Anliangtang. The group then changed planes to Las Vegas and arrived outside the Flamingo Hotel. They saw two huge portraits hanging on the outer wall of the hotel.

One is a portrait of the last American gambling king, Johnny Maus, and the other is an advertisement for the new World Gambling King Competition.

This competition will be divided into Texas Hold'em poker, stud and other events. Among them, dice, which Ye Han is good at, is arranged as a performance event. There is no way, after all, dice is not as suitable for competitive competition as poker.

After handing over the invitation letter, the hotel staff took them to the contestants' rooms. The contestants in this competition are divided into two sources. One is specially invited contestants like Ye Han. They have already gained a certain reputation around the world and are participating in the competition.

All expenses are free, and food, accommodation and travel expenses are also borne by Flamingo Hotel.

The vast majority of the remaining contestants have to bear the registration fees themselves, and the prize money for the competition will also be composed of these registration fees and the Flamingo Hotel. This is because the competition has just started and the number of registrations is not enough. Waiting for development

After a few years, the number of applicants increased, and the registration fee alone was enough to cover all expenses.

However, Shen Long will not lose money. The popularity the game brings to the Flamingo Hotel and the income from broadcast rights are enough to make up for these expenses. Hosting this event can not only make money, but also build a reputation.

"Mr. Ye, after you get some rest later, you might as well go down below and try your hand." Situ Hua said with a smile.

"Haha, I've long wanted to experience the difference between casinos in the United States and casinos in Xiangjiang and Macau." Ye Han guessed that he and Xiao Huo had other things to do, so he agreed immediately, rested for a while, and then went downstairs to play.

Situ Hua and Ye Han were also led by Albert Neri to the conference room on the top floor of the hotel and met Shen Long.

Shen Long waved his hand, and Albert turned and left and closed the door for them. Shen Long startled the two of them as soon as he spoke, speaking in pure Chinese, "Gentlemen, please sit down. Let's have a chat while drinking tea."

"

"I didn't expect Mr. Corleone to speak Chinese so well. It's... really unexpected!" It took Situ Hua and Mr. Huo a long time to react.

"I have always been interested in Chinese culture." We are originally Chinese. We have been in the United States for a long time and finally have the opportunity to speak Chinese. Shen Long is very happy.

"Mr. Corleone speaks Mandarin better than us. It's really shameful." Mr. Situ Hua and Mr. Huo sat down respectively and exchanged greetings. "I heard from Brother Zongzhan that Mr. Corleone took good care of him. They are both Chinese.

I appreciate."

After chatting for a while, Situ Hua couldn't help but ask about business, "I wonder if Mr. Corleone invited Mr. Huo and I to come over this time to discuss something?" The two of them don't gamble, and they have nothing to do with the Gambling King Competition. relation.

"For some business matters, Mr. Situ must have investigated my details and knows my identity." Shen Long said with a smile. Situ Hua is the core figure of the Hongmen in the United States, so he naturally knows the business scope of the Corleone family. " My family has some smuggling business in Europe, and now I want to develop this business to Asia, so I hope to get your help."

This year is 1948, and the war will begin in two years. Shen Long cannot stop the US government's decision now, but he can provide some help in terms of supplies and intelligence.

"This..." Situ Hua looked confused. Hongmen has the ability to transport supplies to Xiangjiang, and Mr. Huo controls the shipping channels of Xiangjiang. Logically speaking, their cooperation will definitely open up new smuggling routes, but now Hongmen is in a difficult situation. During the critical decision-making period, he was unwilling to cause trouble rashly.

"Mr. Meitang has been thinking about the future of the mainland civil war recently, right? Mr. Meitang and I have the same view. We both believe that Chang Kaishen will fail." Shen Long knew that Situ Meitang would publicly express his support for our party soon, and I will completely leave the United States next year and return to the mainland to live.

Situ Hua stood up in a flash and looked at Shen Long warily. Not many people in Hongmen knew about this news. Where did he learn about it?

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I'm just a businessman. I don't care about these political things. I only care about how to bring greater benefits to myself." Shen Long reassured, "After Chang Kaishen's failure, the United States will definitely An economic blockade will be launched on China. In this case, smuggling can earn high profits for me, and it is necessary for you to maintain a smooth channel. This is a mutually beneficial thing."

"I will collect the goods you urgently need, and then deliver them to Hongmen, and then transport them to Xiangjiang. The rest is Mr. Huo's business." Shen Long explained his plan, "Except for Europe, I have recently We are also planning a smuggling business in the US-occupied areas of Asia, so as long as we do it properly, no one will know where the goods have gone."

"Medicine, machinery, rubber, electronic products, chemicals, oil... I can provide all of these." These are the supplies that the mainland needs most during the war. "Even the formulas, production processes, and production equipment of some special drugs are not Can't."

"Mr. Corleone, this is a serious matter. Please forgive me for not being able to make a decision rashly. I need to go back and consult my elders." This business is beyond Situ Hua's authority, and he must go back to discuss it.

"No problem, as long as you make a decision, you can come to me at any time." Shen Long certainly knew that such a big matter could not be discussed in a few words.

"Mr. Huo, just have fun in Las Vegas during this time. I'll be back in a few days." Situ Hua stood up and said goodbye.
