Hadi's Empire 1945 Novel() Find the latest chapter!
The convoy was on the road to Las Vegas with Richard in the co-pilot and Hardy and Ava in the back.
There are four security company elites in a car behind.
Today is December 23rd.
The Flamingo Casino is scheduled to open tomorrow, Christmas Eve, and Siegel's idea is to use Christmas Eve to throw a big party to celebrate the opening of the casino, and then people gamble.
With Hardy and Siegel's relationship, Hardy decided to come to Las Vegas a day early.
The car drove into Las Vegas, came to the Flamingo Hotel, and saw a tall neon sign in the distance, next to a ten-story building.
The convoy drove into the parking lot and was greeted by a staff member. Where is Mr. Siegel? Hardy asked.
Mr. Siegel is in the lobby, receiving guests. The waiter replied.
Leaving the others waiting here, Hardy took Ava and Richard into the lobby, which was so spacious and luxuriously decorated, no wonder Siegel spent so much money.
There are already many people in the hall at the moment. Hardy has a very good memory, and he glanced over to find a few familiar faces.
The people from the five major families that I met at the old godfather's house, they have investments in Flamingo Casino, and they are shareholders here, so naturally they will come early.
Among them was a young man in his twenties, also sitting in the main seat. The young man glanced at Hardy, then fixed his gaze on Ava, and kept scanning the woman's face, very unscrupulous.
Siegel saw Hardy, stood up with a smile, came over and gave Hardy a hug, then looked at Ava.
Miss Ava is so beautiful, especially your singing voice is like the sound of nature. I like your Scarborough Fair very much. I don't know when a new song will be released.
The company is already recording an album for me, and it won't take long to interview. Ava smiled.
That's great, and then you must listen carefully.
Speaking and leading the two to the crowd, Siegel looked at several family bosses and said with a smile, Hadi, let me introduce you, this is the head of the Strache family, Colobo, this It's Tommy Galliano, the second owner of the Bassini family.
Then he pointed to the young man, This is Buno, the son of Philip, the patriarch of the Tatakilia family.
Then Siegel looked at these people, Don't you always ask who the other shareholder is, I'll officially introduce it to you now, it's him, Jon Hardy, Hardy now owns 18% of the shares of Flamingo Casino.
Several people's eyes changed when they looked at Hadi. Hadi looked only in his twenties, very young. He didn't expect to be so rich. They each paid 800,000 yuan and only accounted for 13% of the shares. How many people came out.
And dare to participate in the gambling business, doesn't he know that this is the sphere of influence of the gang.
Tommy Galliano, the second boss of the Basini family, suddenly remembered something and asked, Mr. Hardy, is HD security your property?
Hardy looked at the middle-aged man with his chin shrunk, and replied with a smile: Yes, HD Security Company was founded by me.
HD Security has developed rapidly. Now there are more than 1,000 people, and its business has radiated to San Francisco. Now it is the largest security company on the West Coast.
If you have a gun, you have the right. The other party owns a security company. Naturally, he is not afraid of gangsters. Several people now dare not despise Hardy.
Buno's look at Hardy suddenly turned a little unkind, and he asked Hardy, Mr. Hardy, do you still have an HD film company?
Hardy looked at Buno, the young man looked a little frivolous, and his eyes were provocative at the moment.
Yes, HD Pictures is mine.
Buno sneered twice, Hehe, MGM was shooting a movie in New York and injured my people. Later, the Corleone family came to me. I always thought that MGM's Mayer was not that great, and later I found out about the cooperation. The company also has an HD film business, and the owner of the HD film business is cooperating with Mike Corleone to do business and open a TV factory. It should be Mr. Hardy who found the Corleone family?
A phone call made it impossible for him to continue extorting, and he lost tens of thousands of dollars. Buno was naturally upset with Hardy in his heart.
Especially with such a beautiful woman as Ava.
The Red Dead Redemption movie just ended, and Ava became a big Hollywood star with a song. Looking at the current state of Ava and Hardy, Ava must be this woman named Hardy.
The same young man, his career is more successful than himself, the woman is more beautiful than his own, Buno is even more unhappy with Hardy.
Hardy looked at Bu Nuo seriously, and said lightly: So you are the boss of that film company. It is indeed Mr. Vito that I was looking for. I would also like to thank you for your high hand.
Buno heard the irony in Hardy's words, and he already hated Hardy in his heart.
The other clan bosses didn't focus on the trivial matter of Buno. Tommy Galliano, the second boss of the Basini family, rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
Mr. Hardy, I heard that the TV factory is expanding and investing tens of millions to become a super enterprise with an annual output of 400,000 TV sets. I wonder if we can invest in it. If we can, we hope to buy some TV sets. machine company shares.”
The main purpose of gangsters is to make money, this has never changed, gangsters will reach into any field where money can be made.
It was the first time Siegel knew the news. Hardy and Mike invested tens of millions to build the factory, which surprised him.
At the beginning, I was really optimistic about this young man, but I didn't expect him to develop so fast and create such a big industry in a short period of time.
The bank loan is enough. We will not accept investment for the time being. Of course, when the TV is produced, Mr. Tommy can buy one and go back to support our business. Hardy said with a smile.
Tommy's face darkened.
He was a little unhappy at being rejected so plainly.
Hardy looked at Tommy with a chuckle on his face. The gangster wanted to meddle in his own business. If it was someone else, he might have some scruples in his heart, but he was a gangster himself, and his partner was Mike from the Corleone family. How could he possibly piss them off? .
In terms of whiteness, Lao Tzu is innocent.
In terms of blackness, Laozi is blacker than you.
Hardy was not interested in chatting with these mafia who were pregnant with ghosts. He said hello to Siegel, and took Ava to go around. After all, he was also one of the major shareholders, and he wanted to know about his industry.
The casino is ready, it can be described as splendid. Hundreds of slot machines are very shocking. There are dozens of gaming tables, and there are various ways to play. Now the staff is still cleaning, ready to welcome tomorrow's guests.
The lounge, bar and restaurant have also been completed, and they can already receive people. The two came to the hotel. The decoration of the hotel is also very luxurious, which is definitely up to the standard of a star-rated hotel.
But aside from these most basic facilities, almost all of the other entertainment projects Siegel had envisioned were not completed.
That is to say, when people come, they can only gamble.
Hardy can only sigh, it is still too hasty, those gangster families are all short-sighted guys, if they are willing to support Siegel, Siegel will definitely succeed.
the next day.
The sky in Las Vegas was a little gloomy.
The temperature dropped to only about five or six degrees.
Siegel looked at the sky a little worried, and said to Virginia, the woman who was with him: I arranged a plane to pick up people from Los Angeles, I hope the weather will not cause problems.
noon.
Guests came one after another, and most of them drove by themselves. After all, it is only 4 hours away from Los Angeles.
These people include lawyers, accountants, and many celebrities. Hardy knows many of them. MGM boss Mayer and Warner's boss also came, and Hardy went over to greet them and chat.
Now Hardy's identity is comparable to that of Mayer and Warner Brothers. Although HD Pictures is not as good as the eight major film companies, Hardy's comprehensive strength is not inferior to them.
Mayer and Hardy stood under a tree with wine glasses and chatted about the movie.
I'm going to let George Frosscher come as a director from all over the world. Four years ago, he directed The House of Loyalty and won the Oscar for Best Picture. The style of the world is more suitable for him.
The director of Song in the Rain, I'm going to bring Stanley Dornan. He has directed musicals before and has experience with musicals. Hardy, do you have any opinions on these two? Mayer asked.
Hardy was a little stunned.
Stanley Dornan, if he remembers correctly, is like Singing in the Rain from Another World, also directed by Dornan.
I have no problem, I really believe in the strength of MGM. Hardy said with a smile.
Mayer smiled and said, I bought a copy of Playboy, Hardy. I have to say that your vision is very unique. This magazine will definitely become popular, and this is definitely a good business to make money.
These are small businesses, Hardy said with a smile.
Small business, now Playboy's stock price has risen to $6, you own all the shares of the magazine, and you can earn more than 5 million from this one.
Mayer spoke with envy in his tone. His MGM is so big, and he can't make so much money in a year of hard work.
Then the two talked about Red Dead Redemption again. The box office of Red Dead Redemption was fixed at 7.86 million, which has already been locked in this year's box office champion. However, if you want to get this money, it will take until the middle of next year to get a share. It is only the first one. It will take a year or two to get all the money.
Hardy also has another income, which is the documentary Los Angeles Bank Robbery, which also exceeded 2 million at the box office.
Mr. Mayer, how are the Golden Globes and Oscars this year? Hardy asked.
Mayer smiled, There are a lot of good films this year, but I think Red Dead Redemption still has a certain advantage in the competition for Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Song at the Golden Globe Awards.
What about Oscar? Hardy asked.
Haven't you heard that the Golden Globes are a barometer of the Oscars.
By the afternoon, three or four hundred guests had come, and most of them were well-heeled people.
However, this is far from Siegel's expectations.
He was still waiting for a flight, and Siegel had hired a few planes to bring his guests, including the bigwigs he had invited, California lawmakers and officials, who would be his opening guests.
have to say,
Siegel is indeed well connected and knows so many great people.
But God does not make beauty,
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it suddenly rained heavily in Las Vegas. You must know that Las Vegas is an arid desert area with very little rainfall and very few torrential rains.
But just today, the day when Flamingo opened, it ushered in a heavy rainstorm that is rare in ten years.
Dark clouds filled the sky, and lightning flashed from time to time.
Siegel's face became extremely ugly as he stood at the window.
