Chapter 65： : Sorting out business

"Lanster, these photos are very valuable. You are responsible for investigating the identities of these people on 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 smiled and put away the photo.

"Don't worry, I will investigate the situation of these people clearly."

At this moment, Bill walked in, glanced at the money on the table, didn't care at all, walked 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 let Bill take the lead. He is the second boss. He should have done these things.

I didn't expect that this guy Bill grew up very fast, did a good job, sorted out all kinds of things handily, and didn't have to worry about Hardy at all.

"Let's go and have a look."

They first drove to Jiyuan, which was a three-story red brick building. They didn't go in, just parked the car on the side of the road.

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

"Simon said that here can give the gang a net profit of about 100,000 yuan per 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 arena. It is only open at night. Now it is empty and the facilities are very simple. There is a boxing ring in the middle, and you can see patches of black and brown on it.

"It was originally a factory, but 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 each year." Bill explained.

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

Underground Black Boxing has two characteristics:

No rules, high bonuses.

Black Boxing is a real "unrestricted fighting". In addition to being unable to use weapons, contestants can hit their opponents in any way.

Injury is normal, but it is common to kill people.

It is precisely because of the cruelty and excitement of this kind of game that people's adrenaline soars, that people are willing to spend money to watch the game and place bets on gambling.

Boxers fight black punches mostly for money, and some people do to exercise their skills.

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

went out of the underground boxing ring and drove to the Spanish Gang Casino.

Hardy is too familiar here.

Their first big deal was here. When they came last time, it was brightly lit and the parking lot was full of luxury cars, but now it is 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 bar, then walked through the corridor to the underground. Before, there were two tall wooden doors, which were blown up by Neil during the robbery. Now they are renovated and replaced with two golden ones. The metal gate is much stronger than before.

"The gate has been changed, and the interior has been renovated. It can be open at any time as long as the time is right," Bill introduced.

The two walked into the casino.

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

is similar to the casino in Las Vegas.

Another place has changed. The original hut where chips were exchanged was previously in the casino, but now it’s replaced by a hole in the wall. Money and chips are all placed at the back. There is a metal baffle that can be dropped at any time. Someone rushed into the casino and could not rob.

It seems that because of the last robbery, Dani has been able to grow his wits, and he specially arranged the design like this.

Bill smiled and said: "Simon told me that in the past, casinos could make more than $200,000 in net profits each year, which is considered the most profitable business in Spain except for drugs."

"Boss, when do you plan to open?" Bill asked.

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

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

Bill looked at Hardy, hesitant to speak.

"what's happenin?"

Hardy knows this guy too well, knows he has something to say.

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

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

"Simon is not a diehard Dani. 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 account management is very good. I think he is a rare talent."

Hardy looked at Bill very seriously.

"Bill, to use a person, first depends on whether you can see him clearly, and second, whether you can accept his betrayal."

"If you think Simon is available and able to withstand his possible betrayal one day, then stay. Hiring is a university question. Some people are suitable for what, and some are not suitable for what, you have to distinguish yourself."

Bill felt that Hardy's words were very profound.

I don’t understand some places,

But he could tell whether Simon should go or keep him and let him decide.

Bill took a breath.

"Boss, I want to keep Simon. If he really betrays in the future, I am willing to bear the result."

Hardy smiled,

"Then stay."

Out of the casino, the car drove up the boulevard, Bill pointed outside and said:

"The entire Spanish gang has 3 nightclubs and 32 bars in total. The drinks in these nightclub bars were previously supplied by the Spanish gang."

“In the past, the Spanish gang’s model was to buy goods on the market and then sell them to bars and nightclubs at an increased price. This is a disguised form of collecting protection fees. Unlike the Jewish gang, the drinks of the Jewish gang are smuggled by themselves, so the drinks can be sold to the bar at a fair price. "

"Simon said that the annual profit is about 100,000 U.S. dollarsIn the past half month, I changed to buy goods from the Jewish house wine warehouse at low prices, and sold them at the price of the Spanish gang. The profit increased suddenly. More than doubled, but I plan to discuss with you and gradually lower the price to the same level as that of 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 that Bill's thoughts were very clear.

"Good idea, just do what you want." Hardy approved Bill's proposal.

"Boss, Simon also told me that the Spanish gang still has some income. The low-level gangsters will find the restaurants, barbershops, grocery stores, and small shops to collect protection fees. Most of this money is collected by the gangsters. The money collected by the gang every year is very small, only about ten to twenty thousand dollars."

"I think we might as well stop the protection fee completely. The original income is very small, and it is very disgusting to the public."

Hardy thought for a while, but suddenly thought of something.

"Bill, I have an idea that the protection fee can be waived, but these shops are useful. You can use them to make another money."

"What's the money?" Bill asked curiously.

"There are two slot machines or pinball machines in their store. Many people go to their store every day. These people cannot easily walk into the casino, but they are willing to play one or two in these places. This is also the case for a long time. A substantial income."

"Let’s sell slot machines and pinball machines. We only need to put the machines in their stores. Not only are they exempted from protection fees, but there is also a profit sharing, and they will be given 20% of the profits as maintenance fees."

Bill was taken aback.

"Can this business make money?"
