Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 676 This is not America
"Yes, it's Ollie Phillips. It's time for her to take the next step and become a member of the House of Representatives. Let's give her our full support!"

In the morning, at Villa Belair, Aaron was leaning against the bed talking on the phone.

California, the most populous state in the United States, has 53 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, making it the undisputed largest state.

There are a total of 435 members of Congress, with California accounting for more than 12%. Of California's 53 seats, Democrats currently hold a majority of 33 and Republicans hold 20.
Ollie Phillips, formerly a California state assemblywoman representing the Democratic Party and one of the representatives funded by Aaron, is now running for Congress.

After hanging up the phone, Aaron let out a long sigh. A moment later, Charlize Theron crawled out of bed and snuggled into Aaron's arms, licking her lips. "Time to get up, it's getting late?"

"Well, it's getting late, let's go take a shower together!"

Aaron patted the sexy diamond in his arms; it really was a sexy stunner…

Macau, Lisboa Hotel.

Aaron and Sheldon Adelson sat on the sofa in the suite's living room. "So you were planning to collaborate with Hong Kong's K. Wah Group?"

Sheldon Adelson nodded. "King Wah Group, as a major conglomerate in Hong Kong's building materials and real estate industry, owns several hotels."

"They will also be participating in the bidding this time, and Stephen Wynn, whom I've been worried about, just sold Dream Resorts and has plenty of cash flow."

"If you're not interested, I'll definitely choose a partner!"

K. Wah Group was founded by Lui Che-woo and mainly develops businesses in building materials, real estate and hotels.

Aaron smiled. "Don't worry, Macau's market shouldn't be underestimated; it's a super market backed by 13 billion people."

"No matter who it is, I believe that no one can stop us in this bidding process."

Aaron now has hundreds of billions of dollars in cash flow at his disposal; he's incredibly wealthy!

“Yes, Macau currently only has 9000 rooms and attracts just 660 million tourists annually. It completely lacks the potential to revitalize Macau,” Sheldon Adelson said, standing up.
"SJM Holdings has monopolized Macau's gaming industry for 40 years, operating 10 casinos including the Lisboa, New Palace, and Golden Palace."

"Without competition, it definitely won't work; their service industry can't compete!"

Aaron glanced at the other person. "Macau, are they really only going to issue three gaming licenses this time?"

Sheldon Adelson paused for a moment. "That's the information we've received so far. We'll have to wait for the results of the bidding to see the specifics."

Aaron nodded without speaking, because there would be six cards in the future, and three of the cards would be split into one side card.
One ticket each from the Sands, Wynn, and MGM in Las Vegas; two tickets from the He family; and one ticket from the Lu family!
"By the way, I'm planning to meet with the person in charge of SJM Holdings. Do you want to come?"

Sheldon Adelson looked at Aaron.

Aaron shook his head. "I don't have time to be directly involved in the operation and management of the gambling industry. You should handle this."

"You know I have a lot of business right now. Let's talk about it when we officially enter Macau!"

Aaron already has a very high-profile business empire in the United States; in the gambling industry, it's better to keep a low profile.

Sheldon Adelson chuckled, “Ha, that’s good too. If the bid is successful, the investment in Macau will definitely be substantial.” “You travel between the two places frequently, so you’ll need to pay more attention to the business here. As for Las Vegas, I have no problem with that.”

"Don't worry," Aaron said, of course he had no objection. Macau didn't matter to him, since it was far from the United States anyway.

Sheldon Adelson thought for a moment, then spoke up, reminding him, "Aaron, I know you young people are decisive and energetic;"

"This isn't America, after all. We're far apart, so we can't act as recklessly as we do in America."

"You should know that Macau has now returned to China."

Aaron Anderson owned Angel International Security, which he knew was affiliated with mercenaries and other desperados.
Moreover, Aaron Anderson's rise to prominence has been largely smooth sailing, with a powerful network of connections in Hollywood, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Washington, D.C.

In the United States, Aaron Anderson can act with impunity because no one dares to mess with him. But it's different in Macau; everyone here is after money!
Aaron just smiled and looked at Sheldon Adelson. Did this guy know that he had taken action against the senior members of the Hong Kong triad organization, Lian Gong Le, a few years ago?
"Mr. Adelson, what are you saying? I've always been a legitimate businessman."

"We pay taxes on time, operate in accordance with the law, and have always cared about our employees!"

Sheldon Adelson nodded and patted Aaron's hand. "You know Macau has huge potential. If we can get in, we're guaranteed to make a fortune."

"It can also take your career to the next level."

All of America knows that Aaron Anderson is a son kissed by God, and his achievements are beyond description!
Sheldon Adelson certainly had nothing to say about such a person, let alone any talk of training or cultivating him;
Even though the other party only owns 10% of Sands' shares in the gambling industry, he will not underestimate them during the cooperation process.

In the evening, Aaron picked up Li Zhi, who had come from Hong Kong, and they had dinner together!
"How's your business in Hong Kong going?"

Aaron asked with a smile.

Li Zhi nodded. "With Media Asia backing me, my career is much better than others' now, and I'm even planning to go back to acting in television dramas."

"We're not famous enough yet, but once we gain more recognition, we'll expand into the mainland market!"

After all, Media Asia's sights are now set on the huge mainland market, and Hong Kong is just a place to play it safe.

Unlike Yang Gongru, who debuted with the title of Miss Asia and immediately collaborated with big names, Li Zhi starred in a series of hit leading roles.

Now, Yang Gongru has already entered the mainland market, and her advertising and commercial performances are endless.

Aaron shook his head. "This isn't just your problem; it's determined by the market. The overall market in Hong Kong is currently extremely sluggish."

"There are still obstacles to entering the mainland market, but it will be soon. Once China joins the WTO, I believe the restrictions on Hong Kong films entering the mainland market will be greatly eased!"

Li Zhi took a sip of champagne. "I'm not worried at all. Media Asia doesn't have many signed artists, and the company has enough projects internally."

"However, it's a bit difficult to take it a step further."

Aaron also picked up his champagne and took a sip. "Ha, what's there to be afraid of? There will be plenty of opportunities. Media Asia is building a new headquarters building in mainland China and investing in TV dramas and such. They're making quite a splash..."
