Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 388, "388," draws attention.

We arrived in Las Vegas soon.

Even without the weapons exhibition, this place is still quite lively.

After all, it's a well-known gambling city and tourist destination, attracting a large number of visitors.

"It's quite lively!" Xiao Fu remarked.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "It is quite lively. I wish Haojiang would be this lively someday!"

Hearing Lin Yao's remark, the suicide squad members asked curiously, "Is the boss from Macau?"

"No, it's just a casino in Haojiang!" Lin Yao said casually.

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, the members of the suicide squad exchanged bewildered glances.

Although they had never been to Macau, they had heard that it was the Las Vegas of Asia.

Having casinos in Macau is clearly not something an ordinary person can do.

They were even wondering just how big their boss's business had become.

Casino owners are generally quite wealthy.

If the boss has money, he won't let his employees go hungry.

Given Lin Yao's generosity, these people made the right choice by joining Giant God International.

Upon arriving at the Caesars Hotel, Lin Yao saw McDonald and Yuri.

Lin Yao hugged the two men, then introduced them to the members of the suicide squad: "This is McDonald, the president of Giant God International's American branch!"

"McDonald's?" Barney was taken aback.

McDonald smiled and said to Barney, "Barney Ross, I know you from the Bosnian War two years ago!"

Barney nodded, and said with some emotion, "I've heard of you too, Major McDonald!"

"I heard you were kicked out of America, but I didn't expect you to come back now!"

McDonald smiled and said, "I'm no longer a major; I'm now the president of Giant God International's branch! Welcome to the company!"

Both have military backgrounds and have suffered unfair treatment, so they should have a lot in common.

Didn't you see that the Suicide Squad's wariness of this CEO decreased considerably?

"This is Mr. Yuri, my business partner! America's largest arms dealer!" Lin Yao introduced with a smile.

Yuri said calmly, "The biggest arms dealer in America is the President of America!"

"Hahaha, that makes sense!" Lin Yao laughed heartily.

The shock in Barney and the others' eyes intensified.

I originally thought Lin Yao was just a rich tycoon, but I never expected his background to be so deep.

Yuribani had also heard of him. Indeed, as Lin Yao said, he was the largest arms dealer in the United States, a front man for those military-industrial groups in the United States!
His business spans every corner of the world, and a large portion of almost any weapon currently on the market originated from Yuri.

"Alright, everyone, stop standing around here, let's go upstairs and have a chat!" Lin Yao said to Barney and the others, "You can all disperse now, I'll let you know when we're going to the exhibition! Or you can go to the casino and have some fun, I'll have someone get you some chips!"

Knowing that the important figures had something to discuss, Barney and the others decided not to be third wheels.

They haven't really had a proper time in Las Vegas yet, so they're treating this period as a vacation.

Lin Yao and the two arrived at the hotel suite, and then Yuri said directly to Lin Yao, "Many military companies are quite interested in your drone and want to talk to you about it!"

Lin Yao said dismissively, "You're just buying it outright, right?"

Yuri nodded somewhat awkwardly: "Yes."

"Forget about a buyout, I'm never short of money!" Lin Yao shook his head and said.

Yuri sighed and said with a smile, "I knew you wouldn't agree; you have big ambitions!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Of course, I've always had big ambitions!"

"Alright, I've already talked to you!" Yuri said with a smile, "I've taken care of things at the booth for you!"

"By the way, about that mission I told you about before, the CIA guys are at the expo too, they'll probably talk to you about it then!"

Lin Yao nodded: "Great, I just happened to bring Barney and the others with me."

After saying that, Yuri led McDonald and Lin Yao to the convention center.

Although the exhibition had not yet started, Lin Yao could see that many staff members were already busy inside.

For example, the well-known Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, General Motors, Northrop, and so on.

There are also small arms companies such as Benelli and Beretta from Italy, Barrett, Colt, and S&W from the United States, FN from Belgium, Glock from Austria, H&K and Mauser from Germany, and so on. In short, there is a wide variety.

Of course, Lin Yao quickly found his place in Giant God International.

The booth was in a great location, but all that was on the table were a few boxes and some unfinished promotional brochures.

Lin Yao was a little puzzled and was about to ask McDonald.

McDonald said directly, "Boss, this was Mr. Yuri's suggestion!"

Yuri nodded: "These things of yours are not suitable to be revealed now; they must be kept a little mysterious!"

Yuri is a real arms dealer, unlike someone like Lin Yao who's just dabbling in the business, so Lin Yao shrugged and said, "You're the professional, I'll listen to you!" Actually, quite a few companies were already curious about Giant God International's booth.

Renting a booth here is not cheap; almost every company displays all of their products, fearing that no one will inquire.

But this unheard-of Giant God International spent a fortune renting a booth and then covered up all its stuff so thoroughly that it made people wonder if they were crazy.

However, Lin Yao trusted Yuri's words, so he did not make any adjustments.

Anyway, the weapons exhibition starts tomorrow, so a little more time won't make a difference.

After walking around the exhibition hall a few times, Lin Yao had gained some understanding of this weapons exhibition, so he left after a few more visits.

"Damn, that's expensive!" McDonald smacked his lips and said.

Yuri said with a smile, "These are all bought and sold through legitimate channels, so naturally the prices are much higher!"

"Moreover, some things cannot be bought simply by spending money."

Lin Yao said with a smile, "That makes sense!"

After visiting the weapons exhibition, Lin Yao immediately went to meet another important person.

Members of the Sackler family of Purdue Pharma.

Lin Yao was simply told that this family manufactured the opioid painkiller OxyContin, which led to drug addiction among Americans, and then they were sued and went bankrupt.

However, this family is indeed quite influential in the United States, especially in the pharmaceutical industry.

Lin Yao came here with his product to find partners, but large companies like Johnson & Johnson were not very interested in his Viagra.

Only Pudu Pharmaceuticals intends to come and learn more.

Moreover, the person who came was Raymond, one of the three Sackler brothers.

"Hello, Mr. Raymond!" Lin Yao shook hands with the other party.

"Asian?" Raymond was a little surprised, but quickly laughed: "Judging from your appearance, you must be Chinese!"

"Mr. Raymond has a good eye!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

"I heard you have a formula that you'd like to collaborate with our Pudu Pharmaceuticals?" Raymond asked, getting straight to the point.

Lin Yao said calmly, "Indeed, we need a partner to cooperate with!"

“Mr. Raymond, you can take a look at our materials.”

Raymond nodded; he had already reviewed the previous materials.

The version I have now is the detailed version.

The pharmacologist standing nearby explained the Viagra formula in his hand to Raymond.

"Originally, we were developing a drug to treat heart disease, mainly a drug that can dilate blood vessels and change local blood flow, but we unexpectedly discovered that it can also target male erectile dysfunction..." Scientist Er Mao told Raymond directly about the research and development process.

Of course, this was something Lin Yao had prepared beforehand.

Anyway, the formula is in his hands, so he can make up whatever story he wants.

Raymond's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.

He hadn't listened to a word the scientist had said before, but he listened very carefully to the part about male erectile dysfunction.

Raymond asked Lin Yao directly, "Does it really work? Have you done any drug trials?"

"Drug trials have definitely been conducted, but now it has progressed to clinical trials!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "Although our company is not well-known, this Viagra formula should be able to impress Mr. Raymond, right?"

Raymond nodded; after all, he was an old businessman.

He didn't appear too eager, otherwise he would have given Lin Yao the opportunity to make exorbitant demands.

So he said, "I am indeed quite interested in this kind of drug, but I need to go back and discuss it!"

Lin Yao nodded: "Of course, this kind of decision can't be made lightly!"

"I'll be staying in Las Vegas for a while. Mr. Raymond can come see me anytime once he's made up his mind!"

Raymond asked with some curiosity, "Mr. Lin, are you here for sightseeing?"

"No, I'm here for a weapons exhibition!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "I own a weapons company and an international PMC company!"

Raymond was somewhat surprised: "Mr. Lin, that's quite a leap!"

"Mr. Lin must be quite influential in Asia!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Just a little bit of empty fame!"

“Then I’ll go back and discuss it with my two brothers. I’ll be able to give you an answer in the next few years!” Raymond nodded and got up to leave.

He planned to have someone investigate Lin Yao's background after he returned.

Clearly, Lin Yao is quite different from those guys who came here to try their luck.

We definitely can't treat Lin Yao like those small companies do.

After all, Raymond saw enormous commercial potential in this Viagra formula.

It might even surpass OxyContin, which was developed by their family.

If another company takes a liking to this and snatches it away halfway, it will be quite troublesome!
