Hardy Empire 1945

Federal Supreme Court hearing.

The New York prosecutor's lawsuit against the Grand Hotel Hardy for allegedly opening a lottery is being tried again.

in court,

The two sides held a debate.

It is clear,

The New York State Attorney's Office did not produce any more favorable evidence, and the content of the statement was weak.

On the other hand, the lawyers of the Hardy Group have a strong team, and the barristers made generous statements, citing a lot of terms and evidence to prove that the lottery activity is not a lottery, but a normal casino gambling behavior.

After a day of trial, the justices finally ruled that Hardy Casino's lottery event was not a lottery event.

But the justice also said: If the TV industry is more developed in the future, and the same lottery activities will become more and more, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the country. The Federal Court will recommend the government to issue relevant policies and make relevant regulations for the 'television lottery' activities. limit.

New York State prosecutors did not appeal.

This ending is the result of multiple operations. The old godfather found a relationship, President Johnson put pressure on it, and the financial consortium behind Dewey used the relationship to deal with it so quickly.

From now on,

Hardy's casino's lottery is no longer a sideline, but a legitimate business, another victory for Hardy.

The Federal Court did what it said and made recommendations to the government, recommending that the government formulate relevant regulations and restrictions on activities such as television lottery.

After President Johnson saw the proposal, he immediately gave instructions, and within a few days the government came up with the relevant regulations.

In the future, engaging in 'television lottery' activities must be permitted by the government, and the government will issue an access permit according to the situation.

And on the second day,

The Hardy Group obtained the first license for the TV lottery activity in the United States, and since then Hardy Group has the right to legally carry out this activity.

New York Times: The Federal Supreme Court ruled that Hardy Casino won, and Hardy Group obtained the first 'television lottery' license issued by the government and obtained the legal right to operate.

The Hardy Group wins overall.

Los Angeles Times: Another Dewey failure for 'television lottery' not recognized as a cash-out lottery event.

Global Times: The Hardy Group is preparing to organize more diverse forms of TV lottery activities. At the same time, Hardy said that it will ask Nevada to open the lottery business.

People who know a little bit of the inside story will complain in their hearts.

This operation is so straightforward that even a fool can see that this 'television lottery' license is tailor-made for the Hardy Group.

Hardy has a casino and a TV station. It is very difficult for others to get involved in this business.

Well now,

One more license plate.

What kind of restriction is that, it's simply protection.

Protect Hardy's business from being robbed.

Naked monopoly protection.

Those with a better understanding of the inside story know that the success of this matter is not unrelated to Hardy's investment in Johnson.

Hardy went so far to support Johnson, and Johnson's ability to set some rules in favor of the beneficiary within the scope of his rights is part of the American game of power.

Before this TV lottery event, Hardy could earn 20 to 30 million US dollars in profits every year. Now that he has obtained legal status, Hardy is ready to carry out vigorously. I believe that with Hardy's operating ability, it is not a problem to reach 50 million in annual profits.

for this.

The gangster family who cooperated with Hardy and everyone in the California consortium are even more happy to see it, because Hardy promised before that when the new casino is completed, there will also be a TV lottery event, and they will earn more.

......

Hardy gets a call from Bill.

Boss, the number of clients of the agency investment company has increased by more than 100,000 in the past two days. Now the total number of clients exceeds 500,000, and the total amount of funds has reached 100 million US dollars. Bill said excitedly.

This lawsuit is well known in the United States. The repeated reports of major newspapers have had a great advertising effect. Now the federal court has issued a ruling that the TV lottery is legal, which has relieved many people who were originally worried.

Since it is legal, it can be played, and many people have contacted the agency investment company to prepare to play.

The casino reported to Hardy that the bonuses of the recent lottery activities have also increased dramatically. Generally, it can reach 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and the highest is more than 100,000 yuan. If this value is calculated, then the casino can earn more than $50 million.

Bill, divide the agency investment company into three. Hardy said.

Ah, why? Bill was surprised.

In the future, the amount of funds will become larger and larger, and there will be more and more people calling. Don't let customers feel that we are monopolized, and let them have the right to choose freely. Hardy said.

Isn't it still a boss' company? Bill asked in confusion.

Oh, it's different. As long as you are not a boss on the surface, people will feel that they have the right to choose freely, and the feelings of customers are very important. Hardy said.

Okay, I'll let someone find a new company when I turn around. Bill responded quickly.

......

hang up the phone,

Hardy wondered that it was time to move forward with the following lottery business. He had plans before, but the time was not ripe.

Now the federal court has ruled that the lottery event won the case, which is equivalent to opening a hole for the lottery business.

It is also much easier to operate.

The lottery industry in the United States has grown steadily from the colonial period until the Revolutionary War, and even raised a lot of money for the Revolutionary War. By the 1890s, lottery activities were outlawed.

Later generations did not reopen the lottery until 1964.

The lottery industry in the United States is state by state, and it is useless to ask Johnson. This time, Hardy is going to ask the Nevada government.

Hardy picked up the phone and called Nevada congressman Anthony, who was a friend of the Las Vegas mayor and the congressman Hardy had received.

After that last time, Hardy and Anthony have become friends.

Congressman Anthony, I want you to help me put forward a motion to the state legislature to open up the lottery industry in Nevada, since Nevada has already opened up the gambling industry and the yellow industry, why not open the lottery industry, I believe the lottery industry will bring more to the state. Employment, more economic income, and the ability to attract people to increase the population will have a range of benefits.

I asked people to sort out a set of cooperation models, including lottery sales, government supervision, capital use, profit sharing and other aspects. Hadi said.

Mr. Hardy, I'll go to Las Vegas to see you. Anthony said.

the next day.

Anthony flew to Las Vegas with his assistant and met him in Hardy's office. Hardy handed him a document.

Anthony took the information and looked.

Hardy's material refers to the more mature mechanism in later generations. The state government established the state lottery committee. The state lottery committee is an independent regulatory agency independent of the government administrative system. The objects of supervision are lottery companies and lottery sellers.

Lottery dealers are private companies, and must be designated by the State Lottery Commission, issue licenses, and choose the most powerful and reputable companies to operate. The dealers are responsible for the dealers.

The point is how the profits are distributed.

50% of the lottery sales revenue is used as reward funds, 25% is used as public welfare funds, 12% is used as lottery tax, 8% is used as lottery operation and advertising fees, and 5% is used as retailer profits.

The 25% of the public welfare fund is actually handed over to the government, and the government can use it in various aspects such as the construction of public education, medical care, and public facilities.

This is no small sum of money.

For example, if the lottery is drawn once a week and sells 1 million lottery tickets each time, that's $52 million a year, that's $13 million a year, and that money is entirely at the state's disposal, and the state has a tax.

Originally, the state government was very short of money, and no government is not short of money. With this income, it can definitely play a great supplementary role, and the governor can do many things that could not be done before.

Look at this proposal, and what needs to be improved, Hardy asked.

Mr. Hardy, this proposal is very mature and can be submitted directly. Anthony said in his heart that with so many talented people under Hardy, it is not easy to get a proposal.

Hardy handed Anthony a cigar. The two smoked a cigar and chatted about the details of a lottery proposal. Anthony became more and more aware of Hardy's thoughts.

Don't worry, Mr. Hardy. I will submit it to the parliament when I go back. I also have a few friends. I will mobilize them to do my best to pass the proposal. Anthony said.

Hardy looked at Anthony with a smile and said, Miss Anthony, are you interested in participating in the Senate election next year? I can help if you need it.

Anthony was instantly excited.

What did he come here for, isn't it just to find a big sponsor? He's just an ordinary state legislator, and he has no foundation. Without the support of major forces, it would be extremely difficult to go further.

And who is Hardy in front of him?

The largest enterprise in Nevada is now called 'Hardy Group'. He owns the largest casino in Las Vegas, and there are two other larger casinos under construction, with an investment of several hundred million, accounting for more than half of Nevada's total investment last year. .

He supported President Johnson's re-election, and abruptly took Johnson, who had only 30% approval rating, to 40% approval rate now, and his competitor Dewey was almost killed by this guy.

Don't say Dewey was at fault.

How could Dewey's incident have been exposed without the help of Hardy, the big moneymaker.

Arnold thing,

Many people would rather believe that Hardy planned it.

Hardy is not only rich, but also powerful.

Now that the big money lord threw him an olive branch, how could Anthony not be excited, and immediately said: Thank you, Mr. Hardy, if I become a senator and enter the Congress, I will definitely help you fight for greater interests.

Anthony is not grovelling when he says this, because almost every senator has a funder behind it, no, there should be a funder behind all of them.

Hardy smiled and stretched out his hand, We are happy to work together.

Happy cooperation. Anthony quickly shook hands with Hardy.

In terms of politics, Hardy is only just getting started. He has only two congressmen who have clearly expressed his support, one is Nicholson of New York, the other is Anthony of Nevada, and, of course, the biggest investment is Johnson.

Compared with other big financial groups, he is still very thin.
