Hardy Empire 1945

Hardy took the money and prepared to go out. Henry and Matthew were watching TV in the living room downstairs. The cartoon cat and mouse was playing on the TV. These two guys watched with great interest.

Now is 1945, the TV penetration rate is not high, only about 67% in the United States, and there are only a dozen TV stations.

The TV is the kind of 112-inch black and white TV, but it is very attractive to people who rarely touch TV programs.

It wasn't until the 1950s that television became a common consumer product.

Boss, you want to go out, do you want me to drive for you? Henry stood up immediately after seeing Hardy get down.

Need not.

Hardy was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something.

Henry, is the guy you tied up still in the cellar? Hardy asked.

Yes, it has been closed for three days. Henry said.

Find a reason to let him go, but don't let him know anything about us, and don't think about the robbery of the clubhouse. Hardy ordered.

Also, tell Nick and them to go out and ask about the reaction of the Spanish gang to see if they have any movement.

Good boss!

Hardy drove away, Henry scratched his head and looked at Matthew, Matthew, what do we do with that guy?

The easiest way is to kill it. Once it's over, it's definitely not that much trouble. Matthew said.

The boss asked us to find a reason to let him go, not to kill him. Henry said.

At this moment, the TV program has changed from cat and mouse to a TV series. The plot is that a woman is caught by the boss and takes a fruit photo and threatens her to be her lover.

Henry's eyes lit up.

Matthew, I have an idea.

Kevin Madine has been locked in the cellar for three days, and he has been in fear every moment of these three days.

The robbers should contact their family members for ransom, right?

How much?

He also heard that many people who paid ransoms would also have their votes torn apart.

Will the robbers kill themselves!

These questions lingered in his mind all the time, which also made him feel afraid all the time.

Boom~!

The iron cellar door opened.

Two men with masks walked in, one of them was holding a gun, Kevin was shivering, wouldn't he want to kill himself.

Please don't kill me, I'm willing to agree to all the conditions, I'll take the money, please don't kill me. Kevin pleaded bitterly.

Don't talk nonsense, everything is done according to our requirements now. Henry said coldly.

Okay, I'll be obedient.

Take off your clothes, take off everything!

Mmm~!

Kevin was stunned.

what is this for,

Are they?

But now there is no other choice, Kevin quickly took off his clothes, revealing a not very strong body.

Matthew held up the camera.

Hit Kevin hard.

Don't cover it, let go.

Put a pose, yes, be coquettish.

Have a smile on your face, you know, don't look so hard.

Kevin said in his heart that it is strange that his expression is not hard when he is photographed in this situation.

Finally, all the photos were completed, and Matthew completed the work smoothly. Henry ordered Kevin to get dressed, tie his hands, put on a hood, and pull it out.

After driving in Kevin's Lincoln car, it stopped for half an hour, Henry untied the rope on Kevin's hand and said sharply: We let you go now, you go home and prepare $5,000, and we will contact you at any time.

Remember, if you dare to call the police, we will have countless ways to retaliate against you, and your fruit photos will also appear in the mailboxes of major newspapers.

I will never call the police. Kevin responded with a trembling voice.

Count to 100 to open the hood,

Now start counting. ' Matthew said.

Okay, 1, 2, 3, 4...

Henry and Matthew looked at each other and smiled, and the two got out of the car. Kevin counted to 100 in the car, stopped and waited for a while before asking, Mr. Robber, can I open the hood?

No echo.

Kevin carefully opened a small opening.

No one else was in the car.

Woooooo~!

Kevin burst into tears.

Finally alive.

After crying for a while, he sat tremblingly in the driver's seat, drove back to his house, opened the door and found his wife at home, the woman saw Kevin care and asked, What have you been doing these days, why can't you find it anywhere? When it gets to you, I'll call the police.

Seeing that his wife cared so much about him, Kevin stepped forward and hugged his wife, Wife, I don't want to be separated from you again.

......

After Fred learned that Hardy was responsible for the robbery, he hung up the phone and immediately called his boss, Siegel.

Ring Ring Ring ~!

The call is connected.

Mr. Siegel, it's me Fred, the Spaniard Casino has been investigated and it was done by one of our gang leaders, Jon Hardy.

Jon Hardy, tell me about him, Siegel said.

Jon Hardy used to be a Marine, and he was discharged after being injured. It was recommended by one of my leaders, Bill. As for the people under him, they were all veterans he recruited. Fred said.

He just called me, ready to hand in the share, and is coming to me.

How much? Siegel asked.

63,000. Before, in order to encourage the people below to make money, I increased the profit. He robbed a total of 210,000, and the gang received 63,000. Fred explained.

63,000?

Hearing this number, Siegel's heart moved.

During this time he was short of money.

Hardy's money is not recorded, he can take it directly.

Some time ago, the Mafia Committee held a meeting and asked Los Angeles to increase its income. It happened that a friend, William Wixon, a mob boss, proposed to build a luxury casino in Las Vegas.

After researching, Siegel was very interested in this project. The two planned to raise funds for construction. Their plan was very huge. Las Vegas is still just a desert. How can they attract gamblers to go there.

Siegel envisioned a sprawling casino plan with a palace-style casino, luxury hotels, nightclubs, bar lounges, restaurants, cafes, indoor shops, health clubs, and more.

There are also private villas, swimming pools, and even a lake, arena, shooting range and horse farm.

In short, we want to make this casino into a leisure holy place integrating gambling and entertainment.

Their plan is to host about 3,000 people at the same time, so the initial investment reached 6 million US dollars.

$6 million in 1945 is definitely a huge sum, equivalent to $600 million in 2020.

Although Siegel is the boss of the Jewish gang in Los Angeles, the Jewish gang exists in the form of a company and belongs to the branch of the Mafia. A large part of the money earned needs to be turned over. million.

This is still a secret misappropriation of part of the company's funds.

It would also be a lot of trouble for Siegel to let the headquarters know.

William. Wixon can only come up with one million.

With the remaining funds, Siegel is going to lobby other gangsters to collect 4 million to complete his huge plan.

Fred, come to me with that little guy named Hardy, remember to bring that money. Siegel said.

Fred realized something.

Good boss.

......

Driving Bill's old Ford, touching the old guy, Hardy thought it was time for a better car.

Guns are a man's favorite.

But many times,

The car has to be in front.

A beloved car is definitely more kissable than a wife.

It didn't take long to come to the gate of Fred's Villa. This is a high-end community surrounded by independent villas, each of which covers an area of ​​several acres.

The car stopped at the door, and Hardy got out with a suitcase.

Before reaching the door, the door opened automatically, and Fred stood at the door and said to Hadi, Hadi, come with me to meet someone?

See who?

Hardy was slightly surprised.

Seeing people is more anxious than receiving money, who is that person?

Fred looked at Hardy and said:

My boss, the true master of the Los Angeles underground world!
