Chapter 1253 1253 [Small gambling to please your mood, please your size!]
"This is absolutely impossible!" Governor Johnny also stood up and said, "I don't know who you think you are, but what I can tell you is that I am not the kind of person who is only interested in profit, and I will not think of Hawaii as beautiful as this.
The island will become a paradise for gamblers! Yes, absolutely not!"
The golden-haired man was startled by Governor Johnny's reaction, and everyone else was also stunned.
Logically speaking, as long as it can promote regional economic development, it is a good thing and should be strongly supported. However, the governor's reaction was too drastic.
In fact, few people know that the reason why Governor Johnny is like this is not to gain fame or not to do well in Hawaii's economy, but because he really hates gambling.
Governor Johnny comes from a big family. When he was a child, his father rarely cared about him and his family because he was addicted to gambling. Many times when other children played with their fathers, he only had his mother to accompany him, and his father was not in Las Vegas.
Vegas, on the way to Las Vegas.
Even though their family had rich assets, they could not resist his father's lavish gambling, which made their family the most "poor" among the entire Johnny family.
It is precisely because of this that George Johnny has studied hard since he was a child. He has excelled in every subject. With his diligent study, he has become an outstanding talent in his family. He even ran for governor in recent years and became a well-deserved leader in Hawaii.
The first person.
So for Johnny, he hates gambling and hates gambling. When the golden retriever proposed to build Hawaii into a casino, he was already filled with anger.
Bang bang bang!
Someone applauded, but when I looked again it was Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian stood up gracefully, first took a sip of the wine, then put down the wine glass, picked up the tablecloth and dipped the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Hawaii is a beautiful place, natural, harmonious, and uncontested...
It can be said that this is the last piece of pure land in the United States, with blue sky, blue sea, and natural pollution-free!"
The golden-haired man curled his lips: "I didn't ask you to recite poetry correctly! Do you think you are Shelley, Byron, or Whitman?"
"I haven't finished speaking, please listen to me!" Shi Zhijian didn't mind and said with a smile, "It is the unique geographical environment here that creates Hawaii's unique tourism style. If the bad habit of gambling is brought to Hawaii
If people who come here for leisure and romance enter the casino and become addicted to the bad habit of gambling, will this place be a pure land? People are crazy about profit in the casino, they lose their entire family and their wives and children because of gambling. Is this still a paradise? "
No one here said a word, only the golden-haired man said bravely: "You can't say that, small gambling makes you happy, big gambling makes you rich! We give them opportunities and hope, what's wrong with that?"
Shi Zhijian looked at him and smiled, making the golden-haired man a little creepy.
"Why are you laughing? If you have anything to say, just say it—" the golden-haired man said angrily.
"You said gambling is about hope, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Well, I'll take a bet with you and let's play the game of hope."
"How to bet?" The golden-haired man risked his life and stared at Shi Zhijian.
"Simple -" Shi Zhijian glanced at the dining table, then picked up a bottle cap and held it in his hand: "I punch, guess which hand of mine holds the bottle cap - if you guess it, I lose.
how?"
"No problem! What are you betting on?"
"One hundred thousand dollars!"
"Uh, what?" The golden-haired man was stunned.
Others were also stunned.
This is too big a gamble!
Guess a bottle cap is worth 100,000?!
"Dear Shi, your bet is a bit big, why don't you gamble a little less!"
"Less? I'm willing, but I'm afraid Mr. Brad won't. He's the big boss!" Shi Zhijian looked at the golden-haired man with a smile.
The golden-haired man was originally frightened by one hundred thousand dollars. In this era, one hundred thousand dollars was not a small amount, and it was enough to buy a farm in the west. But now that he was stimulated by Shi Zhijian, he immediately laughed: "Of course! Hundreds of thousands, it's trivial."
La! Let’s take a gamble first!”
Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "Sure enough, Mr. Bullard is so heroic and he is a role model for us!" After saying that, he looked at Governor Johnny and others and said, "I will make a bet with Mr. Bullard, and I would like you all to be witnesses! In case anyone is cheating on you!"
!”
"Who is cheating? Our TOP Real Estate Company is the largest company in the United States. Can't I afford to lose such a small amount of money?"
"Really? Sorry, I take back what I just said - let's start now!" Shi Zhijian said, smiling, he first flashed the bottle cap in his hand, then put his hands behind his back, and then stretched them out together -
"Okay, Mr. Bullard! You can guess either hand."
The golden-haired man frowned, thought for a moment, then pointed at Shi Zhijian's left hand and said, "I guess this hand! Yes, there must be one!"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Then I'm open!" Shi Zhijian stretched out his left hand, it was empty, like a ghost bottle cap!
"Ah?" The golden-haired man immediately sweated on his forehead. He had just seen Shi Zhijian changing the bottle cap to this hand. Why was it gone?
"Sorry, I win! You lose me a hundred thousand!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile.
"Impossible! Let's bet again!" The golden-haired man was anxious. He was dumbfounded that one hundred thousand dollars was gone. Anyone would go crazy!
Shi Zhijian smiled: "I am very willing to meet your request!" After speaking, he looked at Governor Johnny and others, "I hope everyone will continue to serve as witnesses!"
"Okay!" Governor Johnny nodded.
Michelle looked at Shi Zhijian with some worry. After all, gambling relies on luck.
Mina even pulled the golden-haired man with her hand, meaning to ask him to stop gambling.
The golden-haired man snorted coldly: "Let go! I will definitely win this time! I don't believe that God will always be on his side!"
The gambling begins again.
Shi Zhijian once again held the bottle cap behind his hands, then showed them together and pointed at the golden-haired man: "Guess!"
"I guess this! No, no, no, let me think about it, I guess this! Yes, there is this!" The golden-haired man pinched his chin, and finally pointed at Shi Zhijian's right hand and said firmly, "If you hold it so tightly, there must be something evil.
!”
Shi Zhijian smiled and released his right hand, but it was still empty!
"Sorry, you lost again!"
"How is that possible?" The golden-haired man grabbed his hair hard, "I don't believe in evil! Come again!"
"It's already 200,000, Mr. Bullard!" Shi Zhijian said, "If we lose again, it will be 300,000!"
"Yes, stop gambling!" Mina dissuaded.
"Get away you stinky woman!" The golden-haired man tugged on his tie, "It's all you! Ever since you followed me, I've been having bad luck! Yes, God, my luck has been ruined by you.
of!"
Mina was extremely ashamed when she heard this!
The people around him secretly felt that this golden-haired man was not good enough. He obviously wanted to blame it on himself, but he wanted to blame it on others, especially when the other person was a woman and a beauty!
"Let's bet again! Three hundred thousand, I can afford to lose!" The golden-haired man tugged on his tie nervously.
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Then let's start?"
"start!"
Shi Zhijian looked at Governor Johnny. This time Governor Johnny took the initiative and said: "As witnesses, no one is allowed to default on their debts!"
The gambling begins again!
Still the same as before, Shi Zhijian first grabbed the bottle cap and flashed it, then put his hands behind his back, and finally stretched them out together to let the golden-haired man guess which one was there.
"Right hand!"
"Wrong!" Shi Zhijian opened his right hand, and sure enough, there was nothing!
The golden-haired man's eyes widened, and there was cold sweat on his forehead. He put his hands on the dining table in a daze: "How could this happen? Why do you think I am the loser?"
People looked at him pitifully.
"You are so unlucky!"
"Yes, you can't stop bad luck!"
"I told you to stop playing!"
It was Mina who spoke last.
"Shut up!"
The golden-haired man slapped Mina in the face, wanting to slap her.
On the way, someone grabbed my wrist, and when I saw that person, it was Shi Zhijian.
Even this startled Mina. She looked at the golden-haired man in a panic, and then at Shi Zhijian, her eyes full of gratitude.
"I beat my woman, what's the trouble with you?" the golden-haired man said angrily. Three hundred thousand dollars already made him almost crazy.
"Women are here to be hurt, not to be beaten!" Shi Zhijian said calmly.
When Michelle and Mina heard this, they felt different feelings in their hearts.
Governor Johnny and others also had different expressions.
Shi Zhijian and the golden-haired man can judge whether they are gambling products or character.
The golden-haired man became angry and struggled to break away from Shi Zhijian's wrist, saying loudly: "Are you playing with me? How could it be such a coincidence that you win every time? There must be some fraud in this!"
Johnny was not happy anymore and stood up and said seriously: "Admit your bet and admit defeat. Are you doing this because you can't afford to lose?"
"Yes, as a human being, you must have a bottom line! Didn't you say that hundreds of thousands are trivial before?"
Everyone was sarcastic and sarcastic at the golden-haired man, which made the golden-haired man very embarrassed. He pointed at Shi Zhijian and said, "Tell yourself, are you cheating?"
The people around them all shook their heads and laughed, feeling that the question asked by the golden-haired man was so stupid!
Who in this world would ask this? Only a fool would admit it!
But--
"That's right! I'm cheating!" Shi Zhijian said.
With a bang, the scene exploded!
Everyone looked at Shi Zhijian in disbelief.
Governor Johnny was also shocked, "Dear Shi, you--"
Shi Zhijian waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile: "I stretched out both hands, but neither of them actually held the bottle cap, so no matter what Mr. Brad guessed, it was wrong!"
The golden-haired man suddenly realized: "No wonder! Did you hear it? Did you hear it? He is cheating!"
The golden-haired man became excited, as if he had caught something.
Shi Zhijian smiled faintly: "As you said before, small bets make you happy, big bets make you rich - so just now, did you still feel happy? The feeling of panic, nervousness and fear, is it?
Isn’t it great?”
"Huh?" The golden-haired man was asked and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Shi Zhijian continued to be aggressive: "What is gambling? In fact, you know better than me! You also know better than me whether a casino is heaven or hell! Even you almost went to hell, let alone ordinary people! Could it be that in order to satisfy your desire to make money,
Are you going to let a lot of innocent people go to hell?”
The golden-haired man was left speechless by the question.
Shi Zhijian sneered: "Hawaii is a beautiful place! Governor Johnny is right, this is the place closest to paradise, so others are absolutely not allowed to destroy it! Especially someone like you who wants to open a casino!"
The golden-haired man blushed when Shi Zhijian scolded him, but could not refute.
Even his girlfriend Mina next to him felt ashamed. How could he hook up with such a man? It was so low-level!
Others also started pointing fingers at the golden-haired man————
"They're all after money!"
"Yeah, so greedy for money!"
"These real estate developers are all evil spirits!"
The golden-haired man couldn't bear it anymore and shouted to Shi Zhijian: "Yes, I am greedy for money! I want to turn Hawaii into a casino, but what about you? What can you do for Hawaii? This is not the reason for investing here.
To make money?"
Shi Zhijian shrugged: "Yes, as a human being, I am also profit-seeking and aim to make money, but I won't be as ugly as you!"
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he turned to Governor Johnny and said: "What do you think I can do for Hawaii? I can tell you, I can't do anything! Because I don't want to build this place into a steel city like high-rise buildings, let alone
It will pollute the natural scenery here - so I give you a suggestion..."
Shi Zhijian paused and said, "Build Disney here!"
"Huh?" Governor Johnny was stunned, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes!
Because only he knew that he had just received an olive branch from the Disney Company a few days ago, and the other party wanted to build a Disneyland here!
This news is very confidential, no one knows except him!
But now, Shi Zhijian has spoken out! This can't help but shock Governor Johnny.
Compared with Governor Johnny's shocked expression, at this moment, the expressions of others were shocked.
Disney?
Disneyland?
There are now two Disney parks in the United States. One is Disneyland in Los Angeles, California, which was built in 1955. The other is Disneyland in Orlando, Florida, which was built in 1971, which was last year.
Disney’s investment is huge and profits are late, so many places are unwilling to undertake the construction.
Only Shi Zhijian knows clearly - Disney is really making money!
If we can build a Disney-style dream castle here with the help of Hawaii’s tourism scenery, then Hawaii will be a paradise among paradises!
In addition, when Shi Zhijian was studying the book "A Hundred Years of Economic History of the United States" by Daniel Daniel, a famous American economist, in his previous life, he mentioned in the book that in his previous life, the American Disney Company had contacted the state of Hawaii, hoping to
The third Disneyland was built here, mainly with a pirate theme, attracting tourists from all over the world.
It's a pity that such a good suggestion was blocked by Hawaii's environmental organizers, who believed that the construction of the park would destroy Hawaii's natural ecological environment. In the end, the project was shelved!
Daniel analyzed in the book that if Hawaii had been willing to accept Disney's offer and build a Disneyland here, it would have tripled Hawaii's economy, and Disney alone would have made tens of billions a year!
And Hawaii will also become the number one tourist destination in the entire United States! surpassing places like Las Vegas!
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. The state of Hawaii made a wrong decision to exclude Disneyland, and the governor who made such a decision was Johnny!
