"I think we have all ignored warnings from Chinese allies. Their famous Sun Tzu repeatedly emphasized the observation of the surrounding environment in the Art of War. Chinese saying goes, "The right time, place, and people will be invincible. The Western proverb means that the devil is hidden in the details. We care too much about the game and ignore things outside the game. Now you must have received the news that after the man left Las Vegas, his Starlight Entertainment announced that he had officially acquired 20% of the equity of MGM Pictures, which was controlled by the Las Vegas gambling king Kerkorion family for $500 million."

"And the largest MGM hotel in the casino we stayed in is their family's property. The man claimed on the surface that he went to Las Vegas to discuss cooperation with Sands Group in Asia, but he didn't expect to privately discuss such a big deal with the Kerkorien family. With this relationship, no wonder our every move was noticed by the other party in advance and was led by the nose." Mellon sighed helplessly in the video conference (in order to make it clear, although the timelines of the two are not consistent, they still put them together to explain, author's note).

MGM Pictures is one of the eight most famous old-fashioned film companies born in the golden age of the American film industry after the emergence of Hollywood. Its company's roar image logo is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It has filmed a series of classic business cards such as "The Wizard of the Wizard of the Wolf", "007" series, "Cat and Mouse". But with the changes of the times, the era when film companies control Hollywood has gradually passed. The eight major film companies of that year have now basically become vassals of multinational commercial groups: Columbia belongs to Sony; Warner becomes Time Warner; Murdoch's News Group bought the 20th Century Fox; Paramount was acquired by Viacom; General Electric mastered Universal Pictures... and MGM is the most unlucky film company among the eight. It failed to complete this conversion in time. With the strength of a film company alone, it could not bear the risks brought by the era of blockbusters or blockbusters, and missed opportunities again and again.

Due to years of losses, MGM was bought by American gambling tycoon Kirk Kelcorion in 1970. Kelcorion is the gambling king in Las Vegas. He is passionate about the casino and hotel industry. He valued its fame more because he bought MGM twice and bought it back three times, which caused MGM to suffer hardships and severely hurt his vitality. He opened many hotels in the name of MGM, even Macau, and the most famous is the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. This hotel has 5,000 rooms and has a copy of Emerald Mountain in "The Wizard of Wizards of Wizards". It looks beautiful, but it has nothing to do with MGM Pictures.

Starlight Entertainment has always wanted to enter the mainstream entertainment market in the United States. Acquisition of MGM Films is undoubtedly a very convenient way. In order to take care of Americans' psychological feelings and other factors, the negotiations on this transaction have been secretly announced. Starlight Entertainment promised to be MGM's largest shareholder, mainly paying attention to the copyright of more than 4,000 classic movies. Yang Xing went to Las Vegas to repair a plank road and secretly crossed Chen Cang, and completed the cooperation with the Sands Group, purchasing MGM's equity from the Kercorion family and hosting the World Underground Boxing Competition. It is a typical trick of killing three birds with one stone.

"MGM has been losing money for years, and the Kercorion family has long wanted to sell it. The price I offered was not difficult for MGM Hotel to reveal their whereabouts. At this time, my secret weapon came on stage and control their time and direction first." Yang Xing pulled the red-haired Kajia who was recovering from her side and introduced her unique electronic superpowers.

"The time we wore watches and all the electronic devices around us were tampered with each other, about half a minute, and it looked very unobtrusive, so we didn't pay attention. But in the end we thought the betting deadline was actually one minute ahead of it, so we thought that the hands and feet we did within ten seconds of the betting deadline were completely following the other party's plan. In addition, the result of the game was wrong, and we were equivalent to sending the money into his pocket by ourselves." Mellon said with a heartache.

They just ignored the details. Who would have thought that Yang Xing could secretly dial the time of all of them in the timing device by half a minute. There would be errors in the mechanical watch, but many of them wore electronic watches that could adjust the time according to radio waves or the network, which could also be tampered with. Mellon really couldn't figure it out, and this was Kajia's credit.

After Yang Xing was in the hands of the hands of him, he worked hard on the local area. Since Yang Xing has many high-tech companies, it is impossible not to tamper with the watch with GPS function sent to each contestant by the organizer. Mellon and others secretly investigated it and found out that there were actually two venues on the day of the final, only one kilometer away from each other, and the interior decorations were exactly the same. The scenes of the final they watched were actually coming from another fake venue. The actual function of this fake venue was similar to the movie studio. The first two quarters of the game were broadcasted, and from the third quarter they saw that it was actually just a holographic movie screened.

Speaking of this, Mellon also expressed his admiration for Yang Xing. Scams occur every year, but the ability to combine this high-tech to deceive their eyes and ears does prove Yang Xing's ability. Based on the traces left by Mellon in that studio, the experts found that the holographic projection used by Yang Xing was very advanced, and it was a new technology that only exists in the laboratory and has not yet been fully practical.

Holographic projection technology, also known as virtual imaging technology, is a technology that uses laser interference and diffraction principles to record and reproduce real three-dimensional images of objects. Compared with the so-called stereo movie, holographic images truly present 3D images, allowing people to view different sides of the image at any angle of 360°, and truly use fake to be real. Those experts analyzed that Yang Xing took pictures of the real field in the distance, and quickly solved them through supercomputers and servers, and added the background of the character to display them through holographic projection. Because the image effect is very realistic, it is hidden from all their eyes. In addition, it is stipulated that the audience entering the field will be taken away by cameras, mobile phones and other electronic devices, and the subordinates they sent were unable to convey messages to the rear in time, which made Yang Xing succeed in using this trick to conceal the world.

"You mean we watched movies made on site, but in addition to many other audiences in the real competition, there are also people in ours. It is impossible that he invited extras and there is no chance to pose for a photo. How can this be achieved?" Although he was surprised by Yang Xing's big set-up, Yoshihiro Miyagi and others are not high-tech blind. Many of their Japanese companies are famous for making digital imaging equipment, and they think this really makes no sense.

According to their understanding, it took a full year for the Titanic to use computer post-production to add characters on board to the Titanic. Now the other party can achieve a real effect in just three days, which is really unbelievable.

Ichinosuke Yasuda, who has been studying Yang Xing, took over the topic. "The other party developed a supercomputer with computing power ranked among the top ten in the world at the end of last year, and has a deep understanding of core chips and software operating systems such as computer workstations and servers. I got the news here that in the second half of last year, he acquired a movie special effects production studio in Las Vegas under the name of filming movies. I asked a Hollywood company responsible for post-stage special stunt production to process all of our participation videos. After finding that the organizer asked the organizer to decide to watch the audience list of the next round of the competition from the first game based on the amount of betting. On the surface, it was to take care of richer gamblers and control idle people to enter, but the actual purpose was to continuously screen out the last candidates to participate in the finals and take their faces in advance to facilitate post-production with computer special stunts."

"The method he used was to let many fakes get involved in the audience, then take photos of most of the big players' faces, and use supercomputers and the 'star computing' mode to process them at high speed. In just three days, the extras deliberately yelled the most fiercely in the competition to attract everyone's attention. Most people keep their eyes on the stadium for most of the time when watching the game, and it is difficult to pay attention to the surrounding audience. In fact, if we observe carefully, we can find many flaws in the audience. Unfortunately, we didn't expect that he would hide it from us in the small competition time, location and audience. It was really the right time, place and people. "

Mellon and the others also made up the calculations for this. Yang Xing wanted to lead them into the trap. The investment in this scam was really considerable, which can be seen from a small detail of him in order to deceive them. In order to prevent the location of the fake venue arranged during the final, he actually directly interfered with the GPS signals within a radius of dozens of miles of Las Vegas, causing problems in many facilities that rely on GPS signals, and even alarmed the nearby US military investigations, which made Mellon and the others discover clues.

Because there are many new generation smartphones with AGPS technology that combines telecom signal tower positioning, Yang Xing didn't even miss this, allowing the gangs in Las Vegas to send a large number of people to place jammers on all signal towers within the interference range, leaving all mobile phones in Las Vegas in the last few minutes of the final. This is the main reason why Mellon and others were misled by using their own GPS instruments and they were unable to contact their subordinates at the end of the final. Such a big deal is indeed amazing.

If Yang Xing didn't have the huge material and manpower of Zhongxing Group behind him, he would not be able to achieve such an effect, but he finally got the value for money. Because Mellon and his team finally made a desperate bet, the $6 billion invested and the bet of following the trend, Yang Xing earned at least $8 billion. Even if they had to share a lot of casino gangs and other gambling players who were doing business together, and the cost of this boxing match was cut off, Yang Xing would easily earn about $3 billion. The key is that the blow to the enemy's anger was almost fatal. After this time, they would have much more difficulties...rt!~!
