Chapter 1253 Chapter 1253 】
“It’s 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’m not a mercenary person, and I don’t think Hawaii is as beautiful as this. The island of , has become a paradise for gamblers! Yes, absolutely not!”
The Golden Retriever was taken aback by Governor Johnny’s reaction, and everyone else was stunned.
Logically speaking, as long as it can promote regional economic development, it is a good thing, and it should be strongly supported, but the Governor’s reaction was too intense.
In fact, few people know that the reason why Governor Johnny is doing this is not to make a name for himself, nor does he want to improve the Hawaiian economy, but that he really hates gambling.
Governor Johnny comes from a large family, and when he was a child, his father paid little attention to him and his family because of his addiction to gambling. A lot of times he has only his mother for company when other kids play with their father, who is either in Las Vegas or on the way to Las Vegas.
Even though their family was rich in assets, his father couldn’t help making such a big gamble that his family was the most “poor” in the entire Johnny family.
It is precisely because of this that George Johnny has been studying hard since he was a child, and he is excellent in every subject. With continuous study, he has become an outstanding talent in his family. In recent years, he has run for governor and has become a well-deserved member of Hawaii. first person.
So for Johnny, who hates gambling, hates gambling, and when Golden Retriever proposes building Hawaii into a casino, he’s already full of anger.
clap clap clap!
Someone applauded, but at another glance it was Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian stood up gracefully, first took a sip from the wine glass, 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 indifferent to the world… It can be said that this is the last piece of pure land in the United States, the sky is blue, the sea is blue, and it is natural and pollution-free!”
The golden-haired man curled his lips: “I didn’t ask you to sing poetry! Do you think you are Shelley, Byron, 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 has created Hawaii’s unique tourism style. If you bring the bad habit of gambling to Hawaii , Let people who come here for leisure and vacation, enjoy romance, and enter the casino to be infected with gambling bad habits, then will this place be a pure land? People are crazy in the casino, and they go bankrupt because of gambling, and their wives and children are separated. Is this still paradise?
No one in the audience said a word, only the golden-haired man said bravely: “You can’t say it like this, small bets on happiness, big bets to get rich! We give them opportunities and give them hope, what’s wrong?”
Shi Zhijian looked at him and smiled, making the golden retriever a little horrified.
“What are you laughing at? What are you talking about—” the golden retriever said indignantly.
“You say gambling is hope, don’t you?”
“Yes what’s the matter?”
“Well, I’ll take a bet with you, let’s also play a game of hope.”
“How to gamble?” The golden retriever went out of his way, staring 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, you guess which hand I hold the bottle cap – if you guess right, I will 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 gamble is too big!
Guess the cap is 100,000? !
“Dear Shi, you gamble a bit too much, you might as well be a little less!”
“Less? I want to, but I’m afraid Mr. Brad won’t. He is the big boss!” Shi Zhijian looked at the golden retriever man with a smile.
The Golden Retriever was originally scared of 100,000 dollars. In this era, 100,000 US dollars is not a small amount, enough to buy a farm in the west. But now being so stimulated by Shi Zhijian, he immediately laughed: “Of course! Hundreds of thousands, what a trifle! Let’s take a gamble!”
Shi Zhijian smiled, “Sure enough, Mr. Brad is full of pride and is a role model for me!” After speaking, he looked at Governor Johnny and the others and said, “I will bet with Mr. Brad, and please be a witness! !”
“Who is rude? Our TOP real estate company is the largest company in the United States. Can’t I afford to lose that little money?”
“Is that so? I’m sorry, I take back what I just said–now let’s start!” Shi Zhijian said, smilingly lit the bottle cap he was holding, then put his hands behind his back, and then stretched out together–
“Okay, Mr. Brad! You can guess either hand.”
The golden-haired man frowned, thought for a while, then pointed at Shi Zhijian’s left hand and said, “I guess this hand! Yes, there must be!”
“you sure?”
“Sure!”
“Then I’m lit!” Shi Zhijian stretched out his left hand, empty, a ghost’s bottle cap!
“Ah?” The golden retriever immediately sweated on his forehead. He just saw Shi Zhijian change the bottle cap to this hand, why is it gone?
“I’m sorry, I won! You lose 100,000!” Shi Zhijian laughed.
“Impossible! Let’s bet again!” The Golden Retriever man was anxious, he was dumbfounded and the $100,000 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 you will continue to be witnesses!”
“Okay!” Governor Johnny nodded.
Michelle looked at Shi Zhijian a little worriedly, after all, things like gambling depend on luck.
Mina even pulled the golden retriever with her hands, meaning to tell him not to gamble.
The golden retriever snorted coldly: “Let go! I will definitely win this time! I don’t believe that God will always be on his side!”
The game begins again.
Shi Zhijian held the bottle cap behind his hands again, then flashed them out together, aiming at the golden retriever man: “Guess!”
“I guess this! No, no, let me think about it, I guess this! Yes, this is!” The golden retriever pinched his chin, and finally pointed at Shi Zhijian’s right hand and said firmly, “If you hold it so tightly, there must be a ghost. !”
Shi Zhijian smiled and let go of his right hand, but it was still empty!
“Sorry, you lost again!”
“How is that possible?” The golden-haired man grabbed his hair vigorously, “I don’t believe in evil! Come again!”
“It’s already 200,000, Mr. Brad!” Shi Zhijian said, “If you lose again, it will be 300,000!”
“Yeah, stop betting!” Mina discouraged.
“Go away, you stinky woman!” The golden retriever tugged at his tie, “It’s all you! I’ve been having bad luck since you followed me! Yes, God, you ruined my luck. of!”
When Mina heard this, she was ashamed!
The people next to him secretly felt that the golden retriever man was not good enough. He clearly pointed his back, but he had to push it on someone else, especially if the other person was a woman and a beautiful woman!
“Let’s bet again! 300,000 yuan, I can lose!” The golden retriever pulled on his tie nervously.
Shi Zhijian smiled: “So let’s start?”
“start!”
Shi Zhijian looked at Governor Johnny, and this time Governor Johnny took the initiative to say: “As witnesses, no one is allowed to default!”
The gamble begins again!
Still the same, Shi Zhijian first grabbed the bottle cap to brighten it, then put his hands behind his back, and finally stretched out together to let the golden retriever guess, which one there is.
“Right hand!”
“Wrong!” Shi Zhijian opened his right hand, and sure enough, there was nothing!
The golden-haired man stared wide-eyed, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he put his hands on the dining table with some dizziness: “How could this be? How can I guess that I lost?”
People looked at him pitifully.
“You’re so lucky!”
“Yeah, bad luck can’t stop it!”
“I told you not to play!”
It was Mina who spoke last.
“To shut up!”
The golden-haired man slapped over, wanting to slap Mina.
He was grabbed by the wrist halfway through, and when he looked at it again, it was Shi Zhijian.
Even so, Mina was startled, she looked at the golden retriever in a panic, and then at Shi Zhijian, her eyes full of gratitude.
“I beat my woman, what’s the matter with you?” the golden-haired man said angrily, 300,000 yuan had already made him go crazy.
“Women are here for pain, not for beating!” Shi Zhijian said calmly.
When Michelle and Mina heard the words, different tastes suddenly appeared in their hearts.
Governor Johnny and others also had different expressions.
Shi Zhijian and the Golden Retriever are judged against each other in terms of gambling products and character.
The golden-haired man became angry, struggling to get rid of Shi Zhi’s firm wrist, and said loudly: “You are playing with me?
Johnny was unhappy, stood up and said solemnly: “Admit the bet and admit defeat. Do you feel that you can’t afford to lose by doing this?”
“Yes, as a human being, there must be a bottom line! Didn’t you say hundreds of thousands of petty things before?”
Everyone sneered at the golden retriever man, making the golden retriever man very embarrassed.
The people around them all shook their heads and sneered, feeling that the question asked by the golden retriever was too stupid!
Who in the world would ask such a question? 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 also lost his eyes, “Dear Stone, you——”
Shi Zhijian waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile, “I stretched out two hands, but I didn’t actually hold the bottle cap, so no matter what Mr. Brad guessed, it was wrong!”
The golden retriever suddenly realized: “No wonder! Did you hear it, did you hear it? He was cheating!”
The golden retriever was excited, as if he had caught the handle.
Shi Zhijian smiled lightly: “As you said before, small bets on happiness, big bets to make a fortune – so just now, did you feel happy? Feeling flustered, nervous, scared, yes Isn’t it cool?”
“Huh?” The golden retriever was stopped, and he 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! Whether a casino is heaven or hell, you know better than me! 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 send a lot of innocent people to hell?”
The golden retriever was speechless when asked.
Shi Zhijian sneered: “Hawaii is a beautiful place! Governor Johnny is right, this is the closest place to heaven, so no one is allowed to destroy it! Especially someone like you who wants to open a casino!”
The golden-haired man was red-faced by Shi Zhijian’s rebuke, but he couldn’t refute it.
Even Mina, his girlfriend next to him, felt ashamed, how could he hook up with such a man? Too low class!
Others also started pointing fingers at the golden retriever–
“It’s all about money!”
“Yeah, too greedy for money!”
“These real estate developers are all black-hearted ghosts!”
The golden retriever couldn’t bear it any longer, and shouted at Shi Zhijian, “Yes, I’m greedy for money! I want to turn Hawaii into a casino, so what about you? What can you do for Hawaii? It’s not for investing here. To make money?”
Shi Zhijian shrugged: “That’s right, as a human being, I also seek profit, for the purpose of making money, but I won’t be as ugly as you!”
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he turned to look at 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 it into a high-rise steel city, much less Contaminate the natural beauty here–so I have a suggestion for you…”
Shi Zhijian paused and said, “Build Disney here!”
“Huh?” Governor Johnny was stunned, his eyes flashing with a hint of surprise!
Because only he knew that he only received an olive branch from Disney 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 not help but let Governor Johnny pale.
Compared to Governor Johnny’s shock, at this moment, the expressions of others were surprised.
Disney?
Disneyland?
There are now two Disney parks in the United States, one in Los Angeles, California, which was built in 1955. The other is Disneyland in Orlando, Florida, which was completed in 1971, last year.
Disney has a huge investment and a late profit, so many places are reluctant to undertake construction.
Only Shi Zhijian clearly knows that Disney ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is really making money!
If you can build a Disney-style fantasy castle here with the help of Hawaii’s tourism scenery, then Hawaii will be a paradise in paradise!
In addition, when Shi Zhijian studied the book “A Hundred Years of Economic History of the United States” by Daniel Daniel, a famous American economist, it was mentioned in the book that the Disney Company of the United States had contacted the state of Hawaii in the last life, hoping to be able to The third Disneyland is under construction here, with a pirate theme as the main theme, attracting tourists from all over the world.
It is a pity that such a good proposal was blocked by environmental organizers in Hawaii, who believed that the construction of the park would damage the natural ecological environment of Hawaii, and finally the project was stranded!
Danielle analyzes in the book that if Hawaii was willing to accept the olive branch thrown by Disney and build Disneyland here, it would triple Hawaii’s economy, and Disney alone could make tens of billions of dollars a year! And Hawaii will also become the number one tourist destination in the entire United States! More than places like Las Vegas!
It is a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world. The state of Hawaii made a wrong decision to shut out Disneyland, and the governor who made such a decision was Johnny!
