Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 195 The Venetian Hotel

The patriarchs of the mafia family walked into the Hardy Casino, and there were a lot of tourists in the casino. Although they had seen the introduction of the Hardy Casino on TV, they could experience it for themselves and found that it was more luxurious and lively than on TV.

In front of hundreds of slot machines, many tourists played a game, and the machines spit out coins from time to time.

Dozens of gaming tables were full of gamblers, and from time to time someone won a big one, causing the surrounding gamblers to exclaim.

It is difficult not to make money in such a business.

At this time, music was played in the lobby, and the 2-hour lottery activity began. Many people gathered around the lottery area, including a few people wearing yellow vests, with the company name Lucky Angel Betting Company written on the back.

The amount of this bonus is written on the betting table.

$52,366.

Some gangsters also rushed to bet a few lottery tickets, which made them feel more involved. After betting the lottery tickets, the patriarch of the Marcelo family in New Orleans asked the casino steward beside him, Are there so many bonuses in every lottery?

It used to be less, but now it's more and more. The betting amount of proxy investment companies has exceeded the amount of betting in casinos. Guan Shi said.

Marcelo looks at the men in yellow vests.

I calculated silently in my heart, if each bet has 50,000 US dollars, the casino will take 15%, 10 times a day, it will be more than 27 million a year.

This amount shocked Marcelo.

This is only the income from the lottery game, and the casino itself is still profitable, so the Hardy Casino can't earn 30 to 40 million a year.

No wonder Hardy dared to open his mouth and say to invest 100 million yuan, because this business is too profitable, and it will pay back after a few years, and the rest is profit.

The lottery draw began, and after two rounds of lottery draws, a lucky gambler appeared. This time, the winner was a woman in her thirties.

When the woman knew that she had won the lottery, she screamed excitedly, hugged her husband, and finally received the bonus, the woman was holding dozens of wads of banknotes, almost unable to hold her.

The casino took pictures and the TV station interviewed. This scene was seen by audiences all over the United States.

Marcelo said in his heart that those people in front of the TV saw someone else winning the jackpot every two hours, how could they not be eager to move, of course they also want to play.

The agency investment company will have more and more funds in the future. Among other things, it is just that this fund-raising ability does not know how much profit it will bring to the agency investment company. You must know that this money has no interest, and the agency investment company can do whatever it wants. It can be used as long as the amount of funds continues.

he pondered.

Investing in a new casino with the profitability of Hardy's Hotel,

Earn 30 to 40 million a year, which is equivalent to investing 30 to 40% of the annual income back to the capital, and the investment can be earned back in three years, and the rest is all income, and the shares in hand are also worth a lot money.

The most important thing is that this money is legal income.

Thinking about it now, 100 million is really not much. If this business is announced to the public, I believe that countless investors will come to invest with banknotes.

Marcelo can think of this, and the patriarchs of other mafia families can also see it. After they spent more than two hours in the casino and experienced two lottery draws, some people couldn't sit still and told the people accompanying them that they wanted to talk to Hardy. Sir talk.

The escort smiled and said, Mr. Hardy invites you all to the hotel meeting room.

These family patriarchs flocked to the large conference room of the hotel, and upon entering the door, they saw a huge design drawing hanging on the wall of the hall.

In this picture, there are several tall hotels and various other building facilities. There are corridors and water systems in between. The river runs through it, and each building is marked with its purpose.

Some people say that this is the new casino that Hardy is going to build, right? The scale is huge, there are dozens of buildings, and there are artificial lakes and rivers beside it. This is not a casino, it is like a small casino. city.

At this time, Hardy walked into the door and greeted the mafia masters with a smile, I didn't accompany you, but I want you to experience it personally. How do you feel here?

Hardy's Casino is indeed very good, it is the most luxurious casino I have ever seen, and it is probably the most profitable casino. A patriarch said.

Hardy smiled, It's a pity that he is still too young, and he underestimated our enthusiasm. The rooms here are always full. You can see that the casino is full of people. I think gamblers should have a better experience. enjoy.

So I am tempted to build a bigger casino with better facilities. He pointed to the wall, Everyone, take a look at this design, this is the new casino I designed by the best design company in the United States, and I named it' The Venetian Hotel'.

A patriarch suddenly exclaimed, Ah, I said that the style of the building looks familiar. It turns out to be the Venetian style.

They are all Italians. Whether they have been to Venice, Italy or not, they still have a little nostalgia for their hometown. Hardy made the casino style into a Venetian style, which immediately made these mafia patriarchs like this design.

Hardy stood in front of the big design and introduced it.

The name here is The Venetian Hotel.

The main building is going to be built with 49 floors. Below is the casino hall, which can accommodate 1,000 slot machines and 300 gaming tables for 3,000 people to play at the same time. There is a VIP room upstairs. Those who want to play large sums can enter the VIP room. There is a separate casino, and people with status like you come here and don’t want to play in the public area, so you can play with a few friends.”

There are guest rooms on the top of the building. Gamblers can go upstairs to rest when they are tired. There are more than 700 rooms in the main building. There are not only guest rooms upstairs, but also various performance halls, where various performances and competitions can be held.

I'd bring the river right in, and there'd be a few acres of lake out there, and the open water would make it a pleasant place to be.

There are two separate hotels outside, so the entire casino will have more than 2,000 rooms. There will also be a villa area outside, and more than 100 villas will be built. When you come here to play, the whole family can live in the villa.

There will be a long shopping street here, which will bring together famous brands from all over the world, such as clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, watches, etc., to satisfy people's desire to buy.

There will be many gourmet restaurants here, and there will be all kinds of cuisines from all over the world. There is a river in the middle of the shopping street, and people can take a boat to visit the entire casino, just like visiting the city of Venice.

A conference, exhibition and banquet center will also be built here, which can hold various large-scale events. I designed the Miss World Beauty Pageant and Victoria's Secret Angel Model Competition, which can be held here at that time.

In the future, it will be a large-scale comprehensive resort integrating gambling, food, shopping, accommodation, entertainment and business. I predict that the number of employees may reach 5,000.

You should also have seen the 'lottery game' at the Hardy Hotel. To be honest with you, that activity is very profitable. In the future, I will let the new casino also carry out this activity. You know, the Las Vegas TV station is my Yes. Hardy smiled.

The mafia patriarchs laughed along.

The lottery game is definitely a wonderful idea to make money, but this business is really impossible for others to do.

You need a place where gambling is legal like Las Vegas, you need a TV station that covers the entire United States, you need a large casino, there are countless gamblers who are willing to bet, and you need to have the strength to keep it.

Hardy has all of these, so he made it, and it is very difficult for others to do this business.

In addition, I plan to build a hospital and a University of Las Vegas. The hospital is a public facility and a part of serving tourists. The university mainly studies hotel services and trains service talents for hotels.

At the same time, this is also urban infrastructure construction. The government is very happy to have these facilities. It is necessary for us to build a good relationship with the government.

The family patriarchs couldn't help but nod their heads. They run the Mafia family, so they naturally know the importance of a good relationship with the government.

At this time, the patriarch was anxious and asked, Excuse me, Mr. Hardy, I want to invest in a new casino. How many shares can I buy?

Hardy glanced at these patriarchs, and said with a smile: There are a lot of families here today. I set a standard. Each family can buy up to 5% of the shares, 5 million.

5 million only 5% of the shares.

It's so expensive.

To be honest, Hardy has drawn a bright future for everyone, with unlimited prospects, but when it comes to investment, many small families are still a bit stretched.

Not everyone can come up with 5 million US dollars. At the beginning, Siegel asked the three major families to raise money, but the three major families in New York gave 800,000 and stopped paying. In the end, they fell out with him because of this little money, and even moved. Kill heart.

These gangster families are not Hardy, with such a strong business acumen and means of making money, as well as insight into the decades to come.

five million dollars.

Some big families gritted their teeth and might be able to get it out, while some small families really couldn't get it out.

But these people are very greedy for the profits of Hardy's casino. They can calculate that Hardy can earn tens of millions every year.

Okay everyone, let's discuss it. If anyone is willing to buy shares, please send me a message in the afternoon. I want to make a decision on this matter as soon as possible.

He is short on time and has to go back to Los Angeles recently.

But there is a advance. In order to facilitate management and avoid other problems, anyone who buys shares needs to sign a voting rights binding agreement to determine the manager's control over the casino. I don't want to end up with someone playing tricks and messing up the company Internal instability. Hardy said.

Many people hesitated when they heard Hardy's request, and signed the voting rights binding agreement, which is equivalent to handing over the management rights to Hardy, and they only have the right to pay dividends.

People were full of enthusiasm just now, but now they calm down. Someone asked: If Mr. Hardy doesn't manage well and our shareholders don't have the right to make decisions, won't we just watch the casino lose money?

Hardy spread his hands: I will be the major shareholder. I have invested more money than you. Will I lose money for no reason? As for the management ability, you should look at the Hardy Hotel and you should know how good my management ability is.

I want decision-making power in order to maintain the internal stability of the new casino. Those commercial methods should be seen by everyone. Everyone understands our own identities. If the power struggle in the mall turns into a large-scale armed conflict, it will be meaningless. , so I decided to make an agreement in advance. Hardy said.

The patriarchs of these families are also aware of this point. Business intrigues are a bit more serious than gangsters. If someone wants to seize control of the new casino, even if they use commercial means to succeed, the families will not stop, and conflicts will definitely break out. Dozens or hundreds of people are ordinary.

But in doing so, their rights are weakened.

How to choose?

These patriarchs hesitated for a while.

At this moment, Tom Hagen stood up, Mr. Hardy, the Corleone family is willing to take a stake, buy 5% of the shares, and sign the voting rights binding agreement.
