Netizens discuss the death of American gambling king. Why can he be called the king of American gambling?

Sheldon. Adelson, USA? Gambling king? Chairman of Las Vegas Sands Group, who can be called America? Gambling king? I think it's because he made a decisive decision and dared to think and do it. The legendary life has never lost on gambling.

Adelson told the media in an interview:? I can see things that others ignore. Why? I have been an enterprise for 60 years and engaged in more than 50 businesses. I've been wondering why others didn't find the opportunity I saw. I don't think I'm much better than an ordinary entrepreneur. I don't understand why they didn't see the opportunity. ? These words are the secret of his success;

Sheldon. Adelson was born in 1933 in a poor Jewish community in Boston, USA. Mr. Edersen's father is an immigrant from Li Taoyuan, who drives a taxi for a living. His mother runs a knitting shop at home to help people mend clothes and subsidize their families. His childhood was extremely difficult. He started selling newspapers to make money when he was very young. However, he was short and very weak, and he was the most vulnerable among all the newsboys in southern Boston at that time. That unforgettable experience left a deep imprint on young Adelson's heart. It was that experience that made him realize that the world is cold and warm, and the world is cold. He had an idea in his heart: if he wants to be respected, he must get ahead.

A poor life breeds his desire for money. Fortunately, the desire for money did not lead him to commit a crime. /kloc-When he was 0/2 years old, Adelson borrowed $200 from his uncle to start a business.

10 years old, the United States was involved in World War II. At that time, people wanted to know the news and current affairs only through newspapers, so the newspaper business at that time was particularly good. One day, Adelson went to the newspaper station early in the morning to queue up to buy a newspaper. After receiving the newspaper, he shouted in the street. Soon all the thick stacks of newspapers were sold out. Seeing that it was still early, he planned to buy more newspapers to sell. As a result, the newspaper station told him that they had left.

At this time, the clever Adelson found that the newsstand business on the corner was much better than the newsboy business, because the newsstand not only had newspaper subsidies, but also could make some advertisements and sell cigarettes and sweets, which was much more profitable than selling newspapers alone. So he borrowed 200 dollars from his uncle to buy the retail rights of The Boston Globe, rented two booths and started his own entrepreneurial career. /kloc-when he was 0/6 years old, he found it a very good idea to put vending machines at gas stations, and then invested all his property and owned his own business: a candy company.

Later, Adelson served in the army and then studied financial management at City University of new york. After leaving school, I worked in some information and real estate companies with good performance and was well received by the industry. By the mid-1960s, Adelson had become a big venture capitalist and successfully invested in 75 companies. 1969, the American stock market crashed and Adelson almost went bankrupt. In another housing exhibition in California, Adelson found that the combination of magazines and exhibitions would have a synergistic effect. Moreover, he found a new trend in the magazine, and the computer age came. So, Adelson decided to start doing it? Magazine+exhibition? So the COMDEX exhibition became a hit, and Adelson also earned nearly 1 100 million.

Sheldon in 2004? Adelson explored the great potential of Asian gambling industry with a keen sense of smell and sharp eyes. Without hesitation, he threw his gambling cards into the casino in the east? Macao, this time, has brought historic glory to Macao's gambling industry. In 2006, his net worth has reached $20.5 billion, ranking the top three in the American rich list.

From rags to riches, in my opinion, Mr. Adelson can be called the king of American gambling, because he has never lost gambling in his life, just as he told reporters interviewed: when I was young, I used vinyl CDs, then cassettes, then CDs, and now MP3. Science and technology or industry must be continuously improved to attract consumers to use it; But gambling is not necessary. I am engaged in the second oldest industry in the world. As long as there are human beings, there is gambling. ?

His success is not accidental. His keen sense of smell and sharp eyes, grasping the opportunity, daring to think and acting decisively made him rich today.
