Hardy Empire 1945

Public opinion can guide emotions.

Newspaper reports, radio broadcasts, and what they say are well-founded. Naturally, many people will believe that people in Las Vegas are starting to realize that this is indeed the case.

Does Las Vegas have a future?

Is there still investment value here?

The price of land is like a stock, and it is also expected to be sold. If a place has no future development, the land there is naturally worthless.

When Walsh Mining bought that land in New Mexico, it was 8,000 acres worth only $200,000, equivalent to only $25 an acre.

Some of the desert land in Nevada and Colorado is listed for sale by the government there. The lowest price is only a few dollars per acre, but no one buys it at all.

Because of the legalization of gambling in Las Vegas, the price of land is now around US$500 or US$600, and the most expensive one in the city center is more than 4000 US dollars.

If the gambling industry here does not make money, or even if there is no gambling industry, the land here may drop to a few dollars.

You know, this is the barren Nevada Gobi.

The buyers who originally bought the land and bet on it and waited for the appreciation of the value of the land became a little panicked when they heard the news, and they asked people to inquire about the situation.

Some people even listed the land and started selling it, but they were not willing to sell it at a low price, and they all added tens or even hundreds of dollars to the original price.

Then they found,

No one buys it at all.

The real controllers of Las Vegas are the gangsters, or the major families of the Mafia. Now the five families are in civil war, and the other families are watching, and no one cares about the investment.

Moreover, these families generally have one or two plots of land in their hands. They are not real estate companies. One or two plots of land are enough, and more are useless. You must know that the land has to pay taxes.

The land in Las Vegas is sold in the form of commercial land, and commercial land is subject to a tax of 1% to 3% of the land value every year. That is to say, if the value does not appreciate, investors will lose money every year.

Now no one buys land in gang civil strife, let alone ordinary people.

In addition, the Flamingo Casino is a foreshadowing, with an investment of 8 million and a loss of more than 1 million in three months of opening. This is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.

The gangster family set up the casino here mainly for money laundering. Few really count on the gamblers to make money. The newspapers are right. Those who count on the tourists will definitely lose money.

Therefore, no one cares about the land that hangs out.

This has further confirmed the rumor that there is no room for appreciation in Las Vegas land. Some people began to cut prices secretly, but they found that the more the price fell, the less people would buy it, because no one wanted to be a pick-up man, and they were all in the wait-and-see stage.

In just a few articles, Hardy smashed the price of land in Las Vegas down a lot.

Boss, do you want a large-scale acquisition now? Andy asked.

Hardy shook his head, Don't worry, the best time is yet to come.

Andy paused and asked, Boss, aren't you afraid of really smashing Las Vegas to death? If there is a sell-off, you might not be able to look up.

Hardy smiled and shook his head, Don't worry, as long as Nevada is the only state legalizing gambling, it won't decline here, and the panic is only temporary.

Hardy is not in a hurry about the land. Business cannot be done in a day or two. He has more important things.

He received a report from Henry.

Someone might have to do something with Fredo.

Fredo is the second son of the old godfather and Mike's second brother.

Those families killed Sonny, the successor of the Corleone family, assassinated Mike, and now they want to kill the second son of the old godfather, which shows how fierce the battle between the five families is now.

Hardy called the Corleone family, and the old godfather answered the phone.

After the greeting, Hardy said, Mr. Vito, I'm in Las Vegas now, and my people have received news that other families may want to do something to Fredo.

The old godfather was shocked when he heard it.

He had already died of one son, and he could not bear the death of the second.

The old godfather said in a hoarse voice: I originally sent Fredo to Las Vegas,

I just want him to live in peace, but I didn't expect those bastards to pay attention to him again, Hardy, can you help me get Fredo back?

No problem, Mr. Vito, Hardy responded.

The old godfather was silent for a while, and said, Hadi, can you do me a favor?

You said. Hardy said.

Help me take away the casinos of the other four major families! The old godfather said decisively.

I know that this will make you stand on the opposite side of the four major families, but I can promise to fully support your career on the West Coast in the future, including using all my connections. The old godfather said.

Hardy could feel it.

Under the siege of the four major families, the Corleone family has been in crisis.

The old godfather is asking for his help. Of course, the other party also gave him a reward, and the reward is the connections of the Corleone family.

In fact, with the relationship between Hardy and Mike, the interests of the two families have already been tied together, and it is impossible for Hardy to choose to invest in the other four families.

In fact, even if the old godfather didn't have this request, Hardy would have started to deal with other gangster families and occupy Las Vegas. He had already made a plan.

Send hd security to stay in Las Vegas.

Acquisition of newspapers and radio stations.

All are prepared for this goal.

Looks like now is the time to get started.

Okay, I promise you. Hardy replied.

......

Night falls.

Hot Las Vegas has gotten a lot cooler.

The originally silent casino seems to have come to life, with neon lights flashing on the streets, and singing from the bar and dance hall.

Fredo, holding a glass of wine, looked at several gaming tables, and finally came to the bar and put his arm around a waitress's shoulder.

Life is often so boring, repeating the same thing every day, Gina, why don't I take you for a ride. Fredo smiled.

The waitress cast a glance at the boss, I'm sorry boss, I already have a boyfriend?

Fredo shook his head sadly, Then do you mind changing it?

Mind, I'm going to work.

After Gina finished speaking, she took the tray to deliver the wine.

Fredo raised his eyebrows at the woman's buttocks.

Came here for a few months, Fredo actually liked the life here, guarding a casino, there are not so many disputes and messes, and occasionally molesting the waiter, Fredo thinks this is very good.

At this moment, two men in suits walked in from the casino. They saw Fredo sitting at the bar at a glance, and the two walked straight over.

Mr. Fredo, we are Mr. Hardy's escort. Mr. Hardy is outside now. He asked you to go out. One of the guards said.

Fredo was taken aback.

Hardy?

Has Hardy come to Las Vegas? Fredo asked in surprise.

Hardy has been in Las Vegas for half a month, but apart from meeting the mayor once, he hasn't shown up at all. Everything is handled by his subordinates, so Fredo doesn't know that Hardy is here. .

Hardy's car was parked on the opposite side of the road. Fredo crossed the road and came to him. The door opened. Hardy smiled and said to Fredo, Get in the car, I have something to tell you.

Hardy went to Corleone's house several times, especially after helping Corleone's family through the assassination crisis of the old godfather, Fredo and Hardy also got acquainted.

Fredo gets in the car.

Hadi, why did you come to Las Vegas? By the way, why are you talking in the car? Let's go to my casino and have a seat. You can still play two games. Fredo said with a smile.

Hardy shook his head, and his expression became a lot more serious.

Fredo, I received news that the people of the four major families are going to deal with you. Hady said.

The original smile on Fredo's face disappeared in an instant, and he turned pale with fright, and felt a little helpless.

Yes, is it true, they want, want to deal with me?

Fredo stuttered a little.

Fredo was timid and fearful, but he was so frightened when he heard the news, Hardy shook his head when he thought of his performance in Godfather II.

I called Mr. Vito and told him the situation here. He said let me send you back to New York. At least in the family, there can be more power to protect you.

Hardy Road.

Fredo nodded quickly, Okay, I'll pack up now.

Said to get out of the car.

But at this moment, several cars whizzed over and quickly stopped at the entrance of Corleone's casino. Dozens of strong men rushed out of the cars, each with a machine gun in his hand.

Da da da da da da~!

When these guys got out of the car, they opened fire at the security guard at the entrance of the casino, killing two members of the Corleone family immediately.

The men then stormed the casino.

There were continuous gunshots in the casino, and it was clear that the exchange of fire was very intense.

The screams of women and the screams of men were also heard from time to time.

You can imagine how horrific it was in the casino.

Fredo was terrified, his body trembled violently, and he squeezed himself tightly into the carriage, not daring to show his face.

Hardy frowned deeply.

At first, he thought that the four major families would use the method of assassination, but he did not expect to send so many people to directly charge and kill this time.

Perhaps their purpose is not only to kill Fredo, but more to destroy the Corleone family's industry and power, and to attack the Corleone family's prestige.

Hardy took another look at the casino, where the gunfire was still fierce, and said to the driver, Go, go back to the manor.

Just after their car drove out a few hundred meters, a police siren was heard in the distance, and a patrol car was quickly heading towards the Corleone Family Casino.

When he arrived at the manor, Hardy asked someone to arrange a room for Fredo, and before leaving, he said to him, It's very safe here, you sleep for one night, and I'll ask someone to book you tomorrow's flight, and you will fly back to New York tomorrow.

Fredo is now terrified of what Hardy is saying.

Okay, I'll listen to your Hardy.

When he came to the command room, Lanster, Henry, Matthew, Neil and others were all there. Seeing Hardy coming in, Henry immediately reported:

Boss, the four major families attacked the Corleone family casino. After our patrol car rushed over, there was an exchange of fire with them. Because of their large number, they finally ran away. Two of our team members were injured.

What do you think?
