Hardy Empire 1945

Lanster, these photos are very valuable. You are responsible for investigating the identities of these people in the photos, as well as their resumes, family status, etc. I think they will be used in the future. Hardy ordered.

Lanster naturally understood what Hardy meant and put away the photo with a smile.

Rest assured, I will investigate the situation of these people clearly.

At this moment, Bill walked in and glanced at the money on the table. He didn't care at all. He walked up to Hardy and said excitedly, Boss, do you have time to inspect your property?

During this period of time to subdue the Spanish gang, Hardy asked Bill to take the lead. He was the second boss, and he should have done these things.

I didn't expect this guy Bill to grow up very fast, and he did a good job. All kinds of things were sorted out with ease, so Hardy didn't have to worry about it at all.

Go and have a look.

They first drove to Jiyuan, a three-story red brick building. They didn't go in, but parked their cars on the side of the road.

This small building has 46 rooms. The first and second floors entertain ordinary guests, and the third floor is a VIP room. Bars, dance halls, and playrooms are all available. Now there are more than 100 girls here, and the business is the best in this area. .

Simon said it can give the gang a net profit of about 100,000 a year.

Bill looked at Hardy. Would you like to go in and sit?

Forget it, go to the next place. Hardy shook his head.

The driver drove them to the underground boxing ring, which only opened at night. Now it is empty and the facilities are very simple. There is a boxing ring in the middle, and you can see the dark brown marks on it.

Originally a factory, it was later transformed into an underground boxing ring. There are three to five games every night. Simon said that the underground boxing ring can earn 100,000 to 150,000 net profits for the gang every year. Bill explained.

Underground black boxing has always been popular in the United States, and even in the 21st century, there is still a large market for black boxing.

The underground black fist has two characteristics:

No rules, high bonuses.

Black Fist is truly unrestricted fighting, except that no weapons can be used, and the contestants can strike their opponents in any way.

Injuries are normal, but killing people is also common.

It is precisely because of the cruelty and excitement of this kind of game that adrenaline surges, so people are willing to pay to watch the game and bet on it.

Most boxers fight black boxing for money, and some people to practice their skills.

The two most famous people who have ever played black boxing, one Tyson and the other Pacquiao, Tyson fought in the underground boxing ring at the age of 14, and Pacquiao participated in the underground boxing ring at the age of 12.

Out of the underground boxing ring, drove to the Spanish Gang casino.

Hardy is all too familiar here.

Their first big sale was here. The last time they came, the lights were bright and the parking lot was full of luxury cars, but now it's deserted.

However, the surrounding vegetation is neatly trimmed, and the fountain is still cheerful. It seems that there are often people taking care of it.

A few people walked in, walked around the lobby and the bar, and then walked through the corridor to the underground. There used to be two tall wooden doors, which were blown up by Neil during the robbery. Now they have been redecorated and replaced with two golden doors. The metal gate is much stronger than before.

The door has been changed, and the interior has been renovated. As long as the time is right, it can be opened at any time. Bill introduced.

The two walked into the casino.

The casino is very spacious. The entire hall is five or six hundred square meters, with dozens of gaming tables, and rows of slot machines in the open space on both sides.

It is similar to the casinos in Las Vegas in later generations.

There is also a change, that is, the hut where the chips were exchanged, used to be in the casino, but now a hole is opened in the wall, the money and chips are all placed at the back, and there is a metal baffle that can fall down at any time, even if Someone can't even rob a casino by storming into it.

It seems that because of the last robbery,

Dani was wise and wise, and it was specially designed to be arranged in this way.

Bill smiled and said: Simon told me that in the past, casinos could make more than 200,000 US dollars in pure profit every year, which is the most profitable business in Spain except for drugs.

Boss, when are you going to open? Bill asked.

Don't worry, wait a few more days. Hardy said.

Now the situation has not stabilized, especially the official things in Los Angeles have not been straightened out, and the casino is not in a hurry to open for the time being.

Bill looked at Hardy and hesitated.

What's wrong?

Hardy knew the guy too well to know he had something to say.

Boss, I want to tell you about Simon, can you keep Simon?

During this period of time, he has been working very hard, especially the loan shark company. He took care of it very well. The loan shark company has more than $200,000 in arrears outside and needs to pay the bill to calculate the interest. No one can do it better than him. If you kill him, it will be very difficult to find a suitable helper like him again.

Simon is not Dani's die-hard. From the beginning, he joined the Spanish gang. He just wanted to find a job, and then he has been doing economic management. The gang's accounts are well managed. I think he is a rare talent.

Hardy looked at Bill seriously.

Bill, to use a person, the first is whether you can see him clearly, and the second is whether you can accept his betrayal.

If you think Simon is available, and at the same time can withstand his possible betrayal one day, then stay. Employment is a big question. What some people are suitable for and what some are not suitable for, you have to distinguish yourself.

Bill felt Hardy's words were profound.

I don't understand in some places,

But he could hear whether Simon should go or leave him to decide.

Bill took a breath.

Boss, I want to keep Simon. If he really betrays him in the future, I'm willing to bear such a result.

Hardy smiled,

Then stay.

After leaving the casino, the car drove up the avenue, and Bill pointed to the outside and said:

The entire Spanish gang's territory has a total of 3 nightclubs and 32 bars. The drinks in these nightclubs and bars were previously supplied by the Spanish gang.

The previous model of the Spanish gang was to buy goods on the market, and then sell them to bars and nightclubs at a higher price. It was a disguised protection fee. Unlike the Jewish gang, the drinks of the Jewish gang were smuggled by themselves, so the drinks can be sold to bars at a fair price.

Simon says the profit is about $100,000 a year.

In the past two weeks, I have switched to buying from the Jewish gang moonshine warehouse at a low price and sold them to the Spanish gang at the price. The profit has more than doubled at once, but I plan to discuss with you and gradually reduce the price. Same price as the Jewish gang.

Although the unit price is lower, I think the business will definitely be better than before. Our income may not be less, and we can better win over these bars and nightclubs.

Hardy found Bill's thinking very clear.

It's a good idea, just do what you want. Hardy agreed with Bill's proposal.

Boss, Simon also told me that the Spanish Gang still has an income, and the bottom gangsters will find those restaurants, barbershops, grocery stores, and small shops to collect protection fees. Most of this money is collected by the gangsters. The gangs take very little money every year, maybe $10,000 to $20,000.”

I think it's better for us to stop the protection fee completely. The income is very small, and it is very disgusting to the people.

Hardy thought for a while and suddenly thought of something.

Bill, I have an idea. The protection fee can be waived, but these shops are useful, and they can be used to make another money.

What money? Bill asked curiously.

They put two slot machines or pinball machines in their store, and many people go to their store every day. These people can't easily walk into the casino, but they are willing to play a game or two in these places. After a long time, this is also true. A decent income.

Let's go out of slot machines and pinball machines. We only need to put the machines in their store, not only to exempt the protection fee, but also to share the profits, and give them 20% of the profits as maintenance fees.

Bill was stunned.

Can this business make money?
