Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 577 Has Little Say
Aaron brought Sophie Marceau from New York to attend the opening ceremony of the Venetian Macao resort in Las Vegas.

The Venetian Resort Hotel, located on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, covers 12 square feet. The main building is 144.8 meters high and features an elegant design with a Y-shaped floor plan. The architectural design uses modern techniques to express the 16th-century Venetian Renaissance style.

The resort area is filled with Venetian-style arched bridges, canals, and cobblestone streets, where guests can take a ride on a traditional Venetian gondola to enjoy the scenery along the banks.

The Venetian Resort Hotel and the Bellagio Resort Hotel, which opened last year, are arguably the most spectacular hotels in the world right now!
“Indeed, the casino is a money pit,” Aaron exclaimed as he and Sheldon Adelson entered the casino’s office.

The Venetian resort opened today, attracting a large number of tourists.

Sheldon Adelson smiled and poured Aaron a glass of champagne. "I didn't expect such a busy man like you to take the time to come. Dawn's acquisition of CBS Television is known throughout the country!"

Aaron waved his hand. "Sigh, there are still a lot of problems to solve. I just came here to relax."

Aaron did not intend to directly target CBS; instead, he would start with content, including drama series production, variety shows, and talk shows.
The first episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" will also be scheduled to air on CBS this year, to get off to a great start!

"Really? That's great, perfect opportunity to experience the Venetian's service. You're a Hollywood mogul, after all."

"When it comes to entertainment, no one can beat you. If you're satisfied, I don't think anyone else will have any objections."

Sheldon Adelson now truly admires Aaron Anderson, who has unknowingly taken control of CBS, the nation’s most powerful broadcasting network.

Aaron shook his head. "How would I know anything about enjoyment? Don't you know my background?"

"This kind of place is best suited to attract wealthy, nouveau riche and those who indulge in debauchery."

"As for the rest, I'll see if I can make a movie about casino hotels!"

Sheldon Adelson's eyes lit up. "That would be perfect! When it comes to making movies, no one can beat the renowned Aaron Anderson!"

"When the time comes, if you bring more Hollywood stars to the Venetian Hotel for filming, it will definitely be the best publicity."

“Alright,” Aaron took a sip of his drink and looked at Sheldon Adelson in front of him. “With the economy developing so rapidly, I think the Sands Group can expand its operations. One Venetian casino hotel is definitely not enough!”

"Oh, it seems you're also quite interested in the casino business, Aaron?"

Aaron stood up, shrugged, and said, "I'm interested in any business that can make money."

"In Nevada right now, the most powerful person in running casinos and hotels is none other than Kirk Koccorian, the chairman of the MGM Grand Hotel."

"Don't you want to surpass him? Kirk Koccrian has been making waves in the investment world these past few years, starting his investments in the automotive industry several years ago, although his acquisition of Chrysler failed."

"But last year, when Chrysler Automobiles merged with Germany's Daimler-Benz AG to form DaimlerChrysler, Kirk Koccrian made $27 billion from stock."

"Now, Kirk Kocorian has set his sights on Nevada's casino and hotel industry, and MGM Grand is likely to expand soon!"

Kirk Koccorian has held the title of Nevada's richest man for many years, truly a gambling king in the United States;
Sheldon Adelson is certainly no match for Kirk Kocorian now, after all, the Sands Group's development has only just begun.

Sheldon Adelson nodded. Casinos have always been linked to shady businesses, and Hollywood is no exception; the cooperation between the two has always existed.
Las Vegas and Los Angeles are not far apart, and this interdependent relationship has lasted for more than half a century!
At night, in a suite on a high floor of the hotel, Aaron and Sophie Marceau soaked in a huge bathtub, admiring the dazzling night view of Las Vegas outside the window.

"Dawn just announced its acquisition of CBS. Don't you need to handle business in Los Angeles?" The sexy, beautiful, and incredibly alluring Sophie Marceau stirred a ripple in her eyes as she snuggled into Aaron's arms, nuzzling him affectionately.

Aaron shook his head, pulled Sophie Marceau close and kissed her. "This matter needs to be handled slowly. Integrating resources from both sides will take at least half a month."

Of course, there will definitely be a wave of layoffs, plus changes at the senior management level!

“Besides, this place is nice too, we can rest for a few days,” Aaron said, then caressed the woman’s softness and kissed her.

“Mmm,” Sophie Marceau responded passionately, wrapping her arms around Aaron’s neck…

Just two days after Aaron arrived in Las Vegas, another major international event occurred: on the battlefield between NATO and Yugoslavia, a US B-2 bomber dropped five missiles on the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia, four of which exploded and one failed to detonate.

The US bombing of the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia resulted in the deaths of three Chinese journalists, injuries to more than 20 diplomatic personnel, and the destruction of the embassy building.

This incident sparked strong protests from the Chinese government and large-scale public demonstrations, while the United States simply claimed it was an "accidental bombing"!
"Are you trying to drag China into the war?"

In his room at the Venetian Hotel, Aaron leaned back on the sofa, stroking Sophie Marceau's long hair and enjoying the lady's services, while talking on the phone with White House Chief of Staff John Posta.

“It was just an accidental bombing; they won’t take any drastic action,” John Posta said on the phone, showing no concern for what China might do, and instead bringing up something else.

"Aaron, as the war continues, military spending is increasing rapidly, and casualties are occurring. Anti-war sentiment is rising in the country."

"Mr. President, we hope you will come to Washington!"

Dawn had just acquired CBS, and Clinton needed some publicity support.

"Don't worry, I will come. However, the rise of anti-war sentiment is inevitable!"

CBS can offer support, but CBS is a commercial television station after all, and ratings are more important. Without competition, how can there be ratings?

With that, Aaron hung up the phone. After Dawn acquired CBS, Aaron was bound to go to Washington, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

As for China, Aaron sighed. In fact, China doesn't have much say in the international arena right now!
After a while, Aaron let out a long breath and relaxed.

Sophie Marceau stood up from the carpet, tidied her messy long hair, and said, "Well, shall we leave now?"

Aaron took the woman's hand. "Yes, are you going back to New York or Los Angeles?"

Sophie Marceau shook her head, sat directly on Aaron's lap, and laughed, "Let's go back to Paris first, and then go to the Cannes International Film Festival."

“I almost forgot,” Aaron chuckled, reaching out to stroke the woman’s thigh, “Indeed, the Cannes Film Festival is about to begin;”

"After that, you're going to work with Mel Gibson on the movie 'What Women Want,' and you're planning to stay in Las Vegas for a few more days?"

Sophie Marceau's eyes widened. "That's enough. From New York to Las Vegas, I can't take it..."
