Shattering~~~!

The downpour obscured the sky.

The casino phone rang, Siegel went to answer it, and Los Angeles called. Due to heavy rain, none of the planes he hired could take off.

Siegel was very frustrated that the invited important person could not come, and hundreds of guests were also blocked on the road by the heavy rain.

But now the time has been set, there are already three to four hundred guests here, and things must continue.

At six o'clock in the evening, the casino officially opened.

There was originally a firework show, because the heavy rain can only be cancelled, everyone can only hold an opening ceremony in the casino.

No big shots, Siegel invited Meyer and other well-known big shots to help cut the ribbon.

Under such hasty conditions, the casino officially opened.

The guests sat on the gaming table and started playing, and the casino hall gradually became lively, which made Siegel a little relieved.

When it was more than 10 o'clock in the game, a huge lightning flashed outside, and the casino hall suddenly went black amidst the rolling thunder.

power cut.

"Ah~~!"

A woman screamed in the casino hall.

I don't know what happened.

The staff hurriedly got the flashlight, there was a glimmer of light in the hall for a while, and people looked a little impatient at this moment.

Siegel was anxious and shouted: "Send someone to check immediately to see what went wrong, hurry up."

The staff ran out to check in the rain and found that there was a problem with the transformer. Siegel hurriedly had him repaired, and at the same time let him light candles in the casino.

There was no way to play only with candles. Someone impatiently left the casino and went back to the hotel room. It is winter, the temperature is only about four or five degrees, and there is heavy rain.

After more than three hours of hard work, the electricity was finally available, but the people in the hall were already gone.

The opening of the first day ended in a hurry.

Lounge,

Siegel was sitting there drinking alone, everything was not going well today, it was terrible.

Heavy rain that has been rare in decades.

The big man who pleased did not come.

The guests are only half there.

The carnival party could not be held, and the firework party was cancelled.

After a hastily cut the ribbon, there was a power outage on the way, and finally all the guests were gone.

There is nothing worse than this.

Siegel's woman Virginia walked to the man and stroked the man's shoulder with her hand, "It will be okay, don't worry too much."

Siegel breathed out softly and said firmly: "Yes, it will be better. When the weather is better tomorrow, the guests will come to the door one after another, the business will be better, and everything will be on track."

Who is he.

He is Benjamin Segal.

The underground king of the West Coast, how could this difficulty hold him up.

the next day.

Today is Christmas, the guests get up and prepare with a happy mood for the carnival that was not full of joy yesterday.

The weather in Las Vegas today is good, with blue sky and white clouds.

At noon, guests came over one after another, the casino became a little lively again, and Hardy took Ava to play for a while.

Hardy has little interest in gambling.

He has read a report and some scholars have studied that people will secrete a large amount of dopamine when gambling. This substance will make people feel happy, but this happiness will become negative emotions after gambling, and people will go back to be happy again. Gambling, this is called addiction.

But when Hardy was playing, he didn't feel that way at all. It was far less joyful than doing a business or being with a woman.

But at this moment.

The casino has reappeared.

People gradually felt that the temperature in the hall became very cold.

At this time, the casino staff discovered that the central air conditioning of the casino was broken.

It is cold winter now, the highest temperature is about 10 degrees, and the lowest temperature is only about 1 degree. Without air conditioning, the lobby becomes very cold and gamblers feel very uncomfortable.

When Siegel received the report, he became a little mad, "Asshole, haven't you all debugged it before? Why is there such a problem? Find someone to fix it."

After more than ten hours of emergency repairs, the air conditioner in the casino was finally restored, but the gamblers had already left a lot, and many people felt very disappointed in this Christmas gambling trip in Las Vegas.

It is not enjoyment, it is simply suffering.

People like Meyer and Warner Bros. who came to join in, could not always stay here, and left one after another the next day.

The third day.

There are only a hundred gamblers in the entire casino, and there are not even many service staff. The huge casino seems empty.

Originally designed by Siegel, the hotel had more than 300 rooms, and the casino could receive more than 1,000 gamblers every day, but now there are not even a fraction.

Moreover, there is only one entertainment item for gambling, and there are no other entertainment items at all. Except for those who are obsessed with gambling, people will withdraw after playing for a day or two. It is difficult to retain residents.

Hardy saw the casino's problem and found Siegel.

"Mr. Siegel, it's better to advertise in the newspaper, I believe that will attract some tourists." Hardy said.

"It has already been advertised, and that can only attract a small number of gamblers. The biggest problem now is that the other facilities here are not perfect. Flamingo is no different from other casinos, and there are no residents at all." Annoyed.

His original idea was to turn this place into a tourist attraction, attracting a large number of guests, so that there are relatively many gamblers, but now there is no attractive place. Only relying on gambling is not much different from other casinos, and can only attract real people. Of gamblers.

The number of real gamblers is limited.

Yesterday, he asked the club to calculate the accounts and found that not only did they make no money in the past few days, they also lost a lot of money, and considering that there are only more than 100 customers every day, the casino will continue to lose money every day.

Operation is costly.

The casino's service staff, security guards, croupiers, and management staff all add up to more than one hundred people, and wages are not a small expense.

Hardy had nothing to do with the current situation of the Flamingo. To this day, it can be said that Siegel's stubbornness is caused, or it can be said that it is caused by other families' persecution, and it is also caused by good luck.

God won't let him be happy, and accidents happen frequently. How can such a company make money?

"Mr. Siegel, there are still many things in Los Angeles. I will leave today." Hardy also said goodbye.

Siegel nodded.

"Let's go, I will think of a way here. After a period of operation, it will close, and Tommy and the guys will give up. When this place is completely built according to my plan, I believe it will definitely attract a large number of guests." Siegel still I'm very insistent on my own ideas.

The convoy returned to Los Angeles and sent Ava home. Hardy said, "I'm going to New York, and I'll be back in a few days."

"Go ahead."

Ava knows that men have many careers and have many businesses in New York.

Hardy had ordered a ticket before, and took the plane directly to New York, and landed at the New York airport ten hours later.

......

When Elizabeth Taylor finished filming that day, she returned to her room and found a few large boxes on the bed.

She opened the box and found a delicate doll inside.

Wearing beautiful clothes.

Taylor saw at a glance that this was the Barbie doll advertised by Mr. Hardy, and her first thought was that Mr. Hardy was here.

Put down the doll and find it in the room, but there is no one in the room.

She ran out of the house to look for an assistant, and the assistant smiled and told her that Mr. Hardy had not come, and the courier had brought those things.

Tyler went back to the room and saw a card inside.

Hardy told Taylor that he couldn't come to attend the opening event, and Taylor became very disappointed.

Lie on the bed all of a sudden.

Although she likes Barbie dolls, she wants to see Mr. Hardy even more. Now knowing that Mr. Hardy cannot come, Taylor feels very sad.

Yesterday she received a call from her parents saying that she could not come to spend Christmas with her and she was not so sad.

Sometimes she would read some emotional magazines, such as Reader's Digest, and it said that in her situation, she might feel in love with each other.

Did you fall in love with Mr. Hardy?

In the next two days of filming, Taylor was always a little distracted, but during this time it happened to be a scene where Matilda was very lost. Taylor’s state was very suitable. Sometimes a scene can be passed through once, which makes Hitchc. Director Kirk was very satisfied and kept complimenting Taylor that he is more and more able to grasp the emotions of the role, and he is a natural good actor.

Only Taylor knew that she was actually thinking of Mr. Hardy.

Christmas Eve is here.

The crew simply celebrated.

The next Christmas, the crew was off for one day, Taylor was unwilling to go out to play, and stayed in the hotel room idly. A few Barbies became her playmates.

At the end of Christmas, the crew started again, and Taylor was again engaged in intense filming. Two days later, when Taylor ended a scene and returned to the rest area, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Hardy is chatting with Hitchcock at the moment. Four-fifths of the film has been filmed. It will be completed in about twenty days. At that time, he will return to Los Angeles for post-production. The crew’s progress is slightly slower than before, but These big directors seem to have this problem.

"Ah~~Mr. Hardy." Taylor yelled happily and ran towards Hardy.

Ruyan throws herself into her arms.

Tyler plunged into Hardy's arms.

Hardy picked up the girl and turned around twice and looked at Hitchcock and said, "Mr. Director, can you give Taylor a day off. I originally promised to accompany her on Christmas, but it was delayed because of some things."

Hitchcock shrugged, "You are the boss, you will be responsible for the loss of filming anyway."

There is nothing wrong with this.

Hardy took Tyler and left. There is nothing else to do today, just play, go to the amusement park, eat food, and go shopping.

In fact, Taylor is very happy as long as he can be with Hardy.

The two came to the Fifth Avenue Department Store, which has a strong festive flavor. After all, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days.

The shopping mall has a dazzling array of goods, almost not much different from later generations. Hardy and the two came to the Barbie counter and found that many parents took their children to choose it.

have to say,

Barbie dolls are indeed very attractive, especially for little girls, it is difficult to resist Barbie dolls.

Most of the people who can walk into the Fifth Avenue Department Store are wealthy families, so the Barbie dolls here are very good. Many children leave with a box of their favorite dolls and accessories.

"Mr. Hardy, I know that Princess Ava is Miss Ava, but who is the Chinese princess?" Taylor had long been curious about this question, and finally asked Hardy when he saw it today.

Hardy smiled, "A friend of mine, a Chinese girl, is also the general manager of my auction company."

"She must be very beautiful," Taylor asked, looking at the Chinese princess doll.

"Haha, didn't you see it, it's almost like a doll." Hardy didn't hide it.

Taylor glanced at Princess Ava and Princess of China again. She thought these two would be her rivals in the future.

The two left the Barbie doll shop and went to the cosmetics area in front. Although Taylor was young, he already had all the hobbies of women and walked into the cosmetics area.

A woman in her thirties and a few waiters were selling their products to customers. Seeing Taylor walk in, the woman smiled and greeted her.

"Hello girl, you are so beautiful. Are you interested in trying our Estée Lauder products? I can help you with makeup~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The woman asked Taylor with a smile.

"Okay." Taylor readily agreed.

Sitting on the chair, the woman helped Taylor make-up while introducing their products, such as cleansing oils, creams, lotions, and full-effect moisturizing essences. The woman said these were all researched by her. She is a chemist and skin expert.

Hardy sat beside and heard something, and looked at the woman, who turned out to be Mrs. Estee Lauder.

He has seen the introduction of Estee Lauder Company. It seems that Estee Lauder was founded in 1946. Mrs. Estee Lauder and her husband created the brand Estee Lauder Company named after her for $50,000 to promote cosmetics.

Decades later, Estee Lauder has grown into one of the world's most well-known makeup brands, with a market value of over 100 billion US dollars.
