Shen Long, Situ Hua and Mr. Huo were busy discussing smuggling channels, while Ye Han participated in a competition in the casino. In the poker game, his level was considered first-rate. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and was eliminated before entering the money circle. , but in the dice exhibition game, he stole the show.

The dice cups in Las Vegas have not yet been modified. An experienced gambler like Ye Han can hear a lot of useful information based on the sound of the dice. This information allowed him to win consecutive victories in the game and win the championship. He won the first place in the dice competition and was awarded the title of "World Dice King" and a gold medal.

With this medal, he became famous in Las Vegas and became the idol of many gamblers. Many people wanted to learn the technique of listening to dice from him. Unfortunately, Ye Han turned around and suggested that Shen Long modify the dice cup. It weakens the sound of the dice in the dice cup, making these gamblers' dreams of getting rich by listening to the dice come to nothing.

The rest of the competitions have also ended. Jonny Maus won the championship again, and Dantraus also entered the money circle with Shen Long's sponsorship, and gained a lot, which saved him from the fate of quitting high-stakes gambling games like in history. , he now spends all day in the Flamingo Club, honing his skills, hoping to win the championship in the next competition.

After the game, the reputation of the Flamingo Club has reached a higher level. Not only has it become a holy place in the hearts of gamblers across the United States, but many foreign tourists who come to the United States also list Las Vegas and the Flamingo Club on their list. on the schedule.

"If this continues, the number of tourists in Las Vegas will soon be able to support the second and third luxury casinos. We must speed up the construction progress." Tom Hagen said enthusiastically, with a heavy voice. He was impressed by this series of operating methods. The Flamingo Club had long since escaped losses and brought huge profits to the family.

"I'll leave these things to you. The design office's drawings will be finalized soon, and the workers will have work to do soon." The construction workers' union is also controlled by gangs, and ordinary people must pay extra if they want to carry out construction. Spend money, but no construction workers union in the United States dares to ask them for money, and many union leaders also regard this as a good opportunity to enhance relations with the Corleone family, and are not afraid that they will not work hard.

"Are you leaving Las Vegas? Where are you going? Europe or other places?" Tom asked curiously, shouldn't he stay in Las Vegas at this time?

"You can be responsible for these administrative tasks. I'm going to see Mike. I'll let someone tell Jonny Maus and Dantraus that they want to go with me." Shen Long gave the order.

This order made Tom confused again. Why did he bring two gamblers with him when he went to visit Mike? Not only he was confused, but so were Maurice and Dantraus. However, when they arrived at Columbia University, the mystery was soon revealed.

"Hi, Mike, these two are Johnny Maus and Nicholas Dantraus." Shen Long introduced them to Mike at the hotel outside Columbia University.

"I know that many students in school now regard them as their idols." Mike shrugged. College students regard gamblers as their idols. This is a bit hard to say.

"In addition to seeing you this time, I have another thing that I want to cooperate with your school." Shen Long said the reason for his visit, "The mathematics department of your school seems to be pretty good. I want to find a professor, and the two of them Work together to publish a monograph on the game of poker, studying the probability of winning in the game of poker from a scientific and practical perspective."

Although the mathematics department of Columbia University is not as good as the mathematics departments of Princeton and Harvard, it is not difficult at all to deal with this small problem.

In the future, there will be many monographs on poker games, such as Doyle Bronson's "Super System" about Texas Hold'em, Ben Mozrich's "Blackjack", Edward Thorpe's "Beat the Dealer", etc.

After carefully studying these books, many gamblers will think that they have found the true meaning of winning at the card table, rush to Las Vegas with money, and then lose everything... Publishing these books in advance can attract people More people come to Las Vegas to gamble, which is good for your business.

Moreover, you can make a lot of money just by selling books. Now that Jonny Maus and Dantraus are at their most famous, a book published in their name will definitely become a bestseller.

"This is an interesting research. I think there will be a professor who is willing to do it. I will go to the mathematics department to ask soon." Mike readily agreed, and soon found a suitable candidate for him and Zhang Ni to take the risk. Si, Dantraus went to the next room to study the poker game, while Mike stayed here and talked to Shen Long about his recent life.

"Mr. Eisenhower still retains the title of presidential adviser, so he often needs to go to Washington to discuss state affairs, and it is difficult for professors to see him; however, he can use his reputation to attract a lot of donations to the school, so it is difficult for professors to say anything; He often took me to watch students' sports games and talked cordially with them. The students all liked him and said, 'The past principals were too sanctimonious and not as kind as Ike.'" Ike was Eisenhower's student. Nick name.

"Being close to the people is an essential quality for politicians, and he is worth learning from in this aspect." Shen Long reminded.

"Yes, how should I put it? He is the kind of person who can easily win the favor of others. I am also working hard to learn this. As long as I am not too busy, I will go back to the stadium to play a few games with the students and listen to their opinions. The school made suggestions, and then compiled several new regulations based on these suggestions and submitted them to Ike, and the response afterwards was very good." Mike has made rapid progress, and he has gradually adapted to his identity as a political figure.

"Now the United States and some Western European countries are preparing to establish a military cooperation organization against the Red Empire. After it is established, Eisenhower is likely to go to Europe to hold an important position in this organization." More than a year later, Eisenhower will go to France to serve as the head of NATO Europe. The Allied Commander said, "You can use this period of time to increase your contacts with those large financial groups, leave a deep enough impression in front of them, and pave the way for your future."
