Chapter Eight Hundred and Sixty Third It Doesn't Matter

Smart people remember in one second

Caesars Palace is actually a luxury entertainment center integrating hotels, casinos, theaters, nightclubs and other entertainment and accommodation facilities. It covers an area of ​​30 hectares and consists of four hotel buildings and a large number of ancillary entertainment buildings. The Palace Tower, which opened soon, has more than 2,000 guest rooms throughout the hotel. W.WW.FAF`AXS·NE.T|Fafa=Fiction\Net

Due to the fact that it is aimed at all tourists who come to the casino to have fun, the prices of suites at Caesars Palace are naturally divided into multiple levels, ranging from ordinary rooms for a few hundred dollars a night to luxurious suites for tens of thousands of dollars a night.

Eric didn't specifically instruct him, and the assistant naturally reserved the best suite for him, or, to be more precise, it can no longer be called a suite, but a villa-style apartment.

The entire apartment is located in the center of the top floor of the Royal Palace Tower. It is the largest of the five top-level apartments in this building. The apartment is not only equipped with a private elevator and a 24-hour butler service, but also has an ancient Roman palace-style interior. The decoration and the abundance of exquisite and expensive artwork make it even more luxurious.

Rich Black introduced the various facilities in the apartment to Eric in person, and asked Eric and the needs of the two girls intimately before leaving a business card and leaving respectfully.

It was getting late, Eric didn't mean to go to the restaurant anymore, he just ordered the private housekeeper of the apartment to bring dinner over, and let the other party leave the room.

After all the outsiders disappeared, Miranda, who had been pretending to be a lady but didn't look like a woman because of the cropped t-shirt and frayed denim shorts, finally relaxed, and jumped to the classic sofa with cheers, feeling the edge of the sofa. The retro table lamp on the low table shook a few times, and the girl quickly bounced up, reached out carefully to help it, and made a face at Eric.

Eric also walked to the sofa, sat down with his legs crossed, and opened the hotel's entertainment brochure. Seeing that Miranda was fed up like a kitten, Eric patted the girl's small waist and looked at Christina again. Said: "You guys go take a shower first, they will bring the clothes over after a while, and we will go to the magic show after dinner."

Miranda put her arms around Eric's arm, shook it, and said coquettishly, "Jewelry, and jewelry, should I at least wear a necklace?"

Eric was too lazy to toss, and said, "Little girl, how refreshing and beautiful, what jewelry do you want."

Miranda wanted to hold back for a while, but when she saw Christina walking towards the bathroom with a smile, she jumped up: "I'm going to use the largest room, I won't wash with you."

Christina ignored it, walked into the largest bathroom in the apartment, closed the door with her backhand, and didn't forget to fight back: "I don't want to wash with you either."

Miranda stared angrily at the closed bathroom door for a while, then rushed towards Eric sitting on the sofa: "Eric, look at her, she is so annoying."

Eric ignored the cat fight, and continued flipping through the booklet in his hand without raising his head, and said, "The rule is not to scratch the face, I don't care about the rest."

"Hmph, you're also a badass," Miranda patted Eric lightly on the body, and Miranda teased Eric to take a bath with him in a blink of an eye. Naturally, he was rejected, as long as he walked to the other bathroom in a dull manner. .

The Plaza shopping area attached to the Caesars Palace Hotel covers almost all the luxury brands that can be named in the world. When the dinner is delivered, the private butler of the apartment brings a few waiters and pushes the whole rack of clothes and shoes away. Came in for two girls to choose from, and even a few boxes of jewelry for girls.

Watching Miranda carefully pick up a ruby ​​necklace and swipe it around her neck, and then look at him expectantly, Eric knew that the girl remembered what he just said, he just didn't bother to toss, since others thoughtfully sent it over , Of course Eric doesn't mind making his little vase more beautiful, he nodded and smiled: "Choose it, hurry up."

Miranda gave a small cheer,

Excitedly, he put the necklace around his neck.

After all, I couldn't catch up with the opening of the magic show. After dinner, Miranda and Christina arrived at the Magic Empire Theater at Caesars Palace in two dresses. Wonderful to stay behind, but did not miss too much.

The Magic Empire Theater is located next to the square tower in the four buildings of Caesars Palace. It is an ancient Roman theater-style performance venue. In Eric's memory, it should be Celine Dion, Elton John and other superstars Las Vegas. The Arena Theater where Gass sang was located, but it should have been after 2000. Caesars Palace completely renovated the original Magic Empire Theater and other buildings for Celine Dion's resident singing. Now, although various superstars come to perform in the casino all the year round, the long-term resident singing form has not yet appeared.

As a contemporary magician who has become famous since the 1970s, David Copperfield has created many magical miracles such as making Boeing planes disappear out of thin air, hiding the Statue of Liberty, crossing the Great Wall, and escaping from prisons. I've only ever seen a video of David Copperfield's magic show, but this is the first time I've been there.

Christina completely forgot that she was still holding a glass of juice in her hand, watching David Copperfield's head-shifting magic, opened her mouth slightly, and said in surprise at the end: "Eric, how did you do this? what?"

Eric put his arms around the girl's waist lightly and said with a smile, "Why are you so curious, this kind of thing, once you figure it out, it doesn't make any sense at all."

Miranda also looked at Christina with disdain, and mocked: "If you can see it, can Copperfield still perform on stage?"

Christina squinted Miranda and said with a smile, "I'm expecting Copperfield to perform magic that makes people disappear out of thin air, Eric, will Miranda be a guest?"

Eric smiled without saying a word.

Miranda snorted softly and countered: "It's more suitable for you to go up. If it's so small, if it changes, you may never be able to find it again."

"Someone has no brains. Don't you know that black skirts are more suitable for pearl necklaces, so you know how to choose expensive ones."

Miranda raised her chin: "Who said that a black dress should be matched with pearls. I also saw a black dress with rubies in "vogue" last month."

Eric heard that the two girls started to go straight to the 'professional' field, and quickly interrupted: "Stop, don't make any more noise tonight, or I'll drive both of you out on the street."

The two girls stopped arguing immediately, and Miranda rubbed over coquettishly and said, "Eric, I, don't you need to return the necklace tomorrow?"

Eric pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "It depends on my mood."

Miranda immediately understood that she didn't need to return the jewelry on her body, and kissed Eric on the cheek in a pleasing manner. Although she still retains the black card, after that incident, Eric limited her monthly expenses to only 5,000 US dollars. Such living expenses are definitely very rich for girls of the same age as her. She boarding The daughter of the middle-level management family of the Firefly Group is the same age as her, but her monthly allowance is only two or three hundred dollars. But for Miranda, who has already tried the magic of money, $5,000 a month is simply not enough to spend, let alone buy these expensive clothes and jewelry.

After the magic show was over, Eric was about to leave with the two girls when the hotel waiter brought an invitation letter written by David Copperfield, which turned out to be an after-party hosted by the other party.

Most of the entertainment activities in the casino, including the casino, are banned, at least on the surface, Miranda and Christina are not allowed to participate at all. Although these rules are equivalent to falsehoods for guests of Eric's level, he does not want to break the rules too casually. The current dance party is a good choice, and the two girls are also very interested, so they rushed over.

The party was held in the banquet hall of the Plaza Tower, and many well-known celebrities came to join in the fun.

Eric exchanged a few words with David Copperfield, who came to greet him in person, before being pulled into the dance floor by Miranda and Christina.

After dancing heartily for a while, Eric had just left the dance floor with the two girls, and a full-fledged male voice came from his ear: "Hey, Eric, I just heard that you came to Las Vegas. Gas, I didn't expect it to be true, haha."

Eric turned his head and saw that Larry Ellison, who seemed to be always unshaven, came over with a tall vase girl. Although the other party also had a lot of real estate in Malibu, the two sides could only be reluctant. Familiar, the last time we met was at the irelyer press conference in early April, and I couldn't chat a few words at that time.

However, since the other party looked familiar, Eric also greeted him with a smile, reached out and shook hands with the other party, and said, "Larry, what a coincidence."

"Of course, but Eric, you really need to come to Las Vegas a few times, this is the real paradise," Larry Ellison said, and casually introduced the female companion beside him: "This is It's Anouk."

The girl concealed the eagerness in her eyes when she looked at Eric, but still couldn't help reaching out: "Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm Anuk Leper."

"Hello," Eric shook his hand gently, feeling that Le Perle was a bit like a French surname, but he didn't ask any more questions, and didn't mean to introduce Miranda and Christina, but turned to Larry Erie again. Sen: "What about you, Larry, what have you been doing lately?"

Hearing this question, Larry Ellison suddenly became a lot excited when he saw Eric's expression, and blurted out: "Eric, are you interested in Apple?"

"Uh," Eric paused and said, "I don't like to eat this, it's too troublesome to peel."

Although the three girls beside the two didn't quite understand what the two were talking about, they clearly felt the meaning of Eric's serious nonsense, and they all giggled.

"Hey, you guy," Larry Ellison waved wildly, then said to his girlfriend, "Baby, can you get us a few drinks?"

Anouk Leper knew that Larry Ellison was distracting himself, but he nodded knowingly and walked away, although he was reluctant.

Eric also smiled and said to Miranda and Christina beside him: "Okay, go play by yourself, let me and Larry chat alone for a while."

The two girls walked away with a smile. Eric and Larry Ellison came to the bar in the banquet hall and ordered two more drinks. Eric joked again and said, "Larry, do you think I should Interested in Apple?"

What they said at this time was, of course, Apple Computer.

However, since the release of Microsoft indos95, Apple has gone downhill. In 1995, Apple could maintain an annual profit of $300 million and a market value of more than $4 billion. But now, in the first quarter of 1997 alone, Apple's losses are as high as $200 million, and its market value has plummeted to the edge of $2 billion.

Larry Ellison said: "Eric, I know that Apple's situation is indeed a bit bad, but it is still a high-tech company with a deep foundation, and it is still very worthwhile to invest."

Eric shrugged unmoved and said, "Larry, why don't you talk about your plan."

"Well, it's like this," Larry Ellison said. "I'm raising money recently to buy Apple 100%, and then hand it over to Steve to take care of it, Steve Jobs, you You must remember that he was one of the original founders of Apple. If Steve hadn't been pushed out of Apple, the company would never be like this."

Eric knew that Larry Ellison and Jobs had always been very good friends. Speaking of which, it was really interesting that these two guys who had little in common in personality and personality could become friends.

"Of course I remember," Eric nodded without showing other emotions, and continued to ask: "So, how much money have you raised now?"

"This, cough," Larry Ellison coughed dryly and said: "Now, not much, but Eric, if you are willing to invest part of it, I think there will definitely be more investors willing to Following up, everyone now admires your investment vision in the high-tech industry."

With the explosion of technology stocks in recent years, Larry Ellison, who owns a large number of Oracle shares, is also worth tens of billions of dollars. However, his personal assets are basically stocks, and Oracle's funds are also personal. Impossible to spend at will, far from having a large amount of cash at his disposal like Eric.

For Apple, Eric is now also an indifferent attitude.

Because of the loss of Pixar's aura, Jobs is still barely running the computer company he was working on. Moreover, due to the increasingly sluggish performance in recent years, Jobs has even given up the hardware business and only relies on authorized computer system software to maintain the company's operations. Therefore, although Apple is on the verge of bankruptcy, it has not extended an olive branch to him again. (To be continued.)
