Chapter 25 Sheldon; Anderson
Sorry! I'm upset because I've never written any more because I've been troubled before. Now I'm taking time to re-code my words. I'm sorry!
Li Wen introduced Phil and Shu Mei and others to each other. Shu Mei was surprised when she heard that Phil was surnamed Rockefeller. Afterwards, she secretly asked Li Wen whether he, Rockefeller, was the legendary Rockefeller. When she got Li Wen nodded, she looked at Li Wen very seriously.
After a while of greeting, everyone went to the restaurant downstairs. Phil had asked him to inform the restaurant downstairs, and he prepared Italian cuisine.
Although I ate Italian cuisine, the Chinese were hosted and guests, and it was not a standard banquet. There was no etiquette to pay attention to, so I naturally had to exchange greetings on the dining table.
At the table, Phil intentionally or unintentionally said Shu Mei to be Li Wen's girlfriend many times, and Shu Mei did not refute intentionally or unintentionally. Li Wen wanted to refute it, but considering the occasion, he did not say anything in the end, and just kept begging Li Zhiying for forgiveness in his heart.
For a beauty like Shu Mei, a normal man has indecent ideas. Li Wen is of course no exception. But now he is more focused on Li Zhiying, and Li Wen also knows himself that he doesn't seem to be a turtle, and he can make a beautiful woman in the beautiful country who has only met twice. In short, except for Li Wen, everyone here is having fun.
...
"Who is that Anderson?" After sending Shu Mei and the others back to their room, Li Wen and Phil sat in the living room.
"The Chairman of the Sands Group is the spokesperson of our family in Las Vegas." Earlier, Li Wen asked Phil to ask the hotel for a set of kung fu tea sets. Seeing Li Wen brewing tea, he soon fell in love with it. Under Li Wen's guidance, he was putting tea into the purple sand pot, which was Li Wen's favorite Tieguanyin.
"Put it a little more, there is too little tea... Your family still has industries in Las Vegas? Aren't you just in the oil field?"
"There is a historical inside story. If you want to say it completely, it is as long as the Pig. Simply put, for some reason, several major families in the United States cooperated to build Las Vegas, so several major families have industries here, and Sands Group belongs to our family."
"No wonder this barren land can build such a super metropolis. I wonder who was so bold back then! It turned out that it was your big families who supported you. With your big families behind the scenes, you can even pick the moon off, let alone just build a city in a barren land. So, does this Xize Palace Hotel belong to the Jinsha Group?" Li Wen suddenly realized.
"Well, the main assets under the name of Sands Group are the Xize Palace Hotel and the Venetian Resort that has been opened shortly. Although it is not the core industry of the family, Sands Group's assets are as high as more than 20 billion US dollars. Although the family does not occupy all the shares, it also accounts for the vast majority. I estimate that about 80% of the shares of Sands Group belong to our family."
"16 billion US dollars, not to mention a family, it is not a small amount for any country... It seems that it is not your whim when you come here, right?" Li Wen swallowed Phil's hot tea turned upside down and said lightly.
Phil paused to the purple sand teapot where he was pouring tea, looked up at Li Wen slightly, and saw that Li Wen was closing his eyes, enjoying the fragrance after the hot tea, thinking for a while, then slowly said: "Well, I plan to come here after dealing with San Francisco. I have told you that my grandfather does not allow me to interfere in family affairs, so I can only start with my father's people."
"This Anderson is your father's man?"
"Yes, although the old man is manipulating many things in the family, my father is still the head of the family after all, and there are still a group of forces loyal to him. Of course, these are also the old man's promise. Anderson is one of them, one of the most successful people my father has supported."
"If you can manage the $20 billion industry with great success, Anderson is really a top figure... Then what are your plans now?" Li Wen looked at Phil and said. Although he knew his own affairs, he was not as Phil had imagined. There was a big family behind him, and the so-called cooperation with him also had little impact on his current self. The cooperation with Phil was more about using him as a shield, but if Phil could really control the Rockefeller family in the future, it would be harmless to him.
Li Wen also knew that he was not a talented person, and he could not even be considered a talent. He probably couldn't make any constructive suggestions about Phil who was in charge of the $20 billion industry. The only thing that might be helpful is to use some memories of his previous life. Although he didn't pay much attention to the entertainment and gambling industry in the past life, he could still find some useful things from the news.
"I am planning to have a secret contact with Anderson these two days to see if I can get his support. I didn't expect that this incident happened today. In the afternoon, I guess he has found out my identity. Although everyone has never met each other, I still know each other. I will go over and visit him tomorrow. Everything is just starting, and these guys are very smart and will never have any agreement with me now. The only thing I can do now is to show my face and let him know that there is someone like me here, and to express my importance to him. But you, I guess many people know your existence now."
"Will the afternoon thing have any impact on you?" Li Wen was silent for a while and said softly. In the afternoon, Phil even cursed him in front of so many people. As for the fact that many people knew about his existence, Li Wen didn't care. Let some people know their existence, which was one of the purposes for following Phil over to Las Vegas. As for his identity, they just guess it.
"The impact is not enough. If such a person can be reversed by scolding a few words, I don't care. In fact, I am not determined to win this Anderson. He is too old and is 68 this year. If my father hadn't been supporting him, he would have been replaced by the people in the family. Especially when he first invested in the Venetian Resort, the family members had a great opinion. If the Venetian Resort management did not meet the expected goals in the past two years, he would probably have to step down, and even my father would be affected. Even if he could achieve the original goal, the people in the family would find ways to drive him away."
For this Venetian Resort, which has a total investment of more than $5 billion and is known as the highest resort in Las Vegas, a few days ago, I learned that this was a life-threatening bet between Anderson and Phil's father. If it succeeds, it is considered to be Anderson's repayment for Phil's father as a keen eye for Phil's father. If it fails, it is probably not something Li Wen can imagine.
Li Wen was not clear about the business situation of the Venetian Resort in the next ten years. The only thing he remembered was that Anderson only took two years to defeat the Macau gambling king who dominated the Macau gambling industry for 40 years in 2005, the CEO of Macau Tourism and Entertainment Co., Ltd., the largest gambling company in Macau, and the supporter of the He family of Macau gambling king He Hong, became a sensational news at the time.
This defeat does not mean that Anderson won He Hong at the gambling table, but that Anderson controlled the company's revenue and profits in Macau exceeded He Hong's? The Macau Tourism and Entertainment Co., Ltd. in charge.
According to this, the Venetian Resort project must be successful. Recalling these, Li Wen felt confident and said to Phil in a deep voice: "Since your father lets you contact the first person you are in contact with, your father must have his reasons to be valued so much by your father. This Anderson is definitely not a simple person. You should put him on the list of your aspirations and strive for it with all your efforts."
"Hmm?... You're right, I'm short-sighted. My father dares to bet on him so much. How could such a person fall out of favor because of his age?" They are all smart people. After hearing Li Wen's words, Phil only thought for a while before he understood the key points. He took a deep breath and looked at Li Wen, "Thank you, Mr. Wen!"
Li Wen nodded slightly and understood what Phil said. At this moment, Phil's housekeeper bodyguard, Case, walked towards them: "Master, Mr. Anderson, Chairman of the Sands Group, is asking to see you outside the door."
Phil and Li Wen looked at each other and saw an accident in each other's eyes. They didn't understand why a person like Anderson came here at this time. It was almost late at night. With his current status, there was no need to come here now.
If he came to apologize for his daughter's nonsense, it was impossible. If Phil was to pursue the insult, it would probably be impossible. In short, as Anderson's identity, it seems irrelevant to come here now.
Phil thought for a while, then stood up and said to Li Wen: "Mr. Wen, I have lost my companion, please play slowly."
Li Wen clicked lightly to express his understanding. Phil tidi tidied up his clothes and followed Case to the door. This suite was for Li Wen, and Phil and his suite were next door.
"The struggle for fame and fortune in the big family is not just cruel. Is it right or wrong to get involved in it?...How should I go?" Li Wen took the teacup and whispered softly, his eyes that were clearly distinguished from his black and white exuded a rigor and depth that was asymmetry with his face.
Li Wen just leaned on the sofa quietly, holding his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking, time passed by in silence...
