The convoy was driving on the highway to Las Vegas, with Richard sitting in the co-pilot, Hardy and Ava sitting in the back.

There are four security company elites in the back car.

Today is December 23rd.

The Flamingo Casino is scheduled to open tomorrow, which is Christmas Eve. Siegel's idea is to use Christmas Eve to hold a grand party to celebrate the opening of the casino, and then people gamble.

With the relationship between Hardy and Siegel, Hardy decided to arrive in Las Vegas one day earlier.

The car drove into Las Vegas and came to the Flamingo Hotel. From a distance, I saw a tall neon sign next to a building with more than ten stories moving.

The convoy drove into the parking lot, and a staff member came to greet him, "Where is Mr. Seagal?" Hardy asked.

"Mr. Siegel is in the lobby, receiving guests." The waiter replied.

Let the others wait here, Hardy took Ava and Richard into the lobby, which was extremely spacious and luxuriously decorated. No wonder Siegel spent so much money.

There were already quite a few people in the hall at this moment, and Hardy had a very good memory. He glanced over and found a few familiar faces.

People from the five major families that I met in the old godfather's house, who have invested in the Flamingo Casino, are shareholders here, and naturally they will come here early.

Among them was a young man in his twenties who was also sitting in the main seat. The young man glanced at Hardy, then fixed his gaze on Ava, scanning the woman's face, unscrupulously.

Seeing Hardy, Siegel stood up with a smile, came over and gave Hardy a hug, then looked at Ava.

"Miss Ava is so beautiful, especially your singing is like a natural sound. I like your Scarborough Fair very much. I don't know when a new song will be released."

"The company is already recording an album for me, and it won't take long before I can interview." Ava smiled.

"That's great, you have to listen carefully then."

Speaking of leading the two to the crowd, Siegel looked at the family bosses and said with a smile, "Hadi, let me introduce to you. This is Kolob, the head of the Stalach family. It's Tommy Galliano, the second boss of the Basini family."

Then he pointed to the young man, "This is Bruno, the son of Philip, the head of the Tatakilia family."

Then Siegel looked at these people, "Don't you always ask who the other shareholder is? I will officially introduce you to him, Jon Hardy. Hardy now owns 18% of the Flamingo Casino."

The eyes of several people looking at Hardy changed. Hardy looked like he was in his twenties, very young, but he did not expect to be so rich. Each of them contributed 800,000, and only accounted for 13% of the shares, so this young How many people are out.

And dare to participate in the gambling business, doesn't he know that this is the gang's sphere of influence.

Tommy Galliano, the second boss of the Basini family, suddenly remembered something and asked: "Mr. Hardy, is HD Security your property."

Hardy looked at the middle-aged man with his chin shrunk and replied with a smile: "Yes, I founded the HD Security Company."

HD Security has developed rapidly. Now there are more than a thousand people, and its business radiates to San Francisco. It is now the largest security company on the West Coast.

You have the right to have a gun. The other party owns a security company, so you are naturally not afraid of gangsters. Now several people don't dare to despise Hardy.

Buno looked at Hardy's eyes but suddenly became a little unkind, and asked Hardy: "Mr. Hardy, do you still have a HD film business."

Hardy looked at Buno, the young man looked a little frivolous, and his eyes looked provocative at this moment.

"Yes, HD Pictures is mine."

Buno sneered, "Hehe, MGM was shooting a movie in New York, and hurt my people. Later, the Corleone family came to find me. I always felt that MGM’s Meyer was not so capable. Later I found out about the cooperation. The company also has a HD film industry, and the owner of the HD film industry is cooperating with Mike Corleone to do business and opened a TV factory. It should be Mr. Hardy who found the Corleone family?"

One phone call prevented him from continuing to blackmail, and he lost tens of thousands of dollars. Buno was naturally unhappy with Hardy in his heart.

Especially when he brought a beautiful woman like Ava.

The Red Dead Redemption movie just ended, and Ava became a big Hollywood star with a song. Looking at the status of Ava and Hardy, Ava must be the woman named Hardy.

He is also a young man, his career is more successful than his own, and the woman is more beautiful than his own. Buno is even more unhappy with Hardy.

Hardy looked at Bunno seriously, and said lightly: "So you are the boss of that film company. It is indeed Mr. Vito I was looking for. Thank you for raising your hand."

Buno heard the irony in Hardy's words, and hated Hardy in his heart.

Other family elders did not focus on the small matter of Bunno. Tommy Galliano, the second boss of the Basini family, turned his eyes and smiled:

"Mr. Hardy, I heard that the TV factory is expanding, with an investment of tens of millions, and plans to become a huge enterprise with an annual output of 400,000 TVs. I wonder if we can invest. If we can, we hope to buy some TV Machine company shares."

The main purpose of the gang is to make money. This has never changed. The gang will reach out into any area where it can make money.

It was the first time Siegel knew the news. Hardy and Mike invested tens of millions to build a factory, which surprised him.

At the beginning, I was really optimistic about this young man, but I didn't expect him to develop so fast and create such a big industry in a short time.

"The bank loan is enough. We don't accept investment for the time being. Of course, when the TV is produced, Mr. Tommy can buy one back, which is considered to support our business." Hardy smiled.

Tommy's face darkened.

Being so categorically rejected made him feel a little unhappy.

Hardy looked at Tommy, with a chuckle on his face. The gang wanted to get involved in his own business. If he was someone else, he might still have some scruples in his heart, but he himself is a gang, and his partner is Mike of the Corleone family. How could he pee them? .

On the white, Laozi is innocent.

When it comes to black, Lao Tzu is blacker than you.

Hardy was not interested in chatting with these ghostly mafia, said hello to Siegel, took Ava around, how to say he is also one of the major shareholders, and wants to understand his own industry.

The casino is set up, it can be described as magnificent. Hundreds of slot machines are very shocking. The gaming tables stretch for dozens of different ways. Now the staff is still cleaning, ready to welcome tomorrow's guests.

The lounge, bar and restaurant are also ready, and they can already receive people. The two came to the hotel. The decoration of the hotel is also very luxurious, which is definitely up to the standard of a star hotel.

But apart from these most basic facilities, all other entertainment projects that Siegel previously envisioned were almost incomplete.

In other words, people can only gamble when they come.

Hardy could only sigh, but it was too hasty. Those gangster families are all short-sighted guys. If they are willing to support Siegel, Siegel will definitely succeed.

The next day.

The sky in Las Vegas is a bit gloomy.

The temperature dropped to only about five or six degrees.

Siegel looked at the sky with some worry, and said to Virginia, the woman with her, "I arranged a plane to pick up people from Los Angeles, and I hope the weather won't be a problem."

At noon.

Guests came over one after another, most of them came by car. After all, it is only 4 hours away from Los Angeles.

These people include lawyers, accountants, and many celebrities. Hardy knew many of them. MGM boss Meyer and Warner’s boss also came. Hardy went to greet them and chat with them.

Now Hardy’s identity is comparable to Meyer and Warner Bros. Although HD Pictures is not as good as the eight major film companies, Hardy’s overall strength does not lose to them.

Meyer and Hardy stood under a tree with wine glasses, and the two chatted about the movie.

"The director of the world, I am going to let George Frostcher come. Four years ago, the "House of Loyalty" he directed won the Oscar for Best Picture. The style of the world is more suitable for him."

"The director of Song in the Rain, I intend to let Stanley Donan come. He has directed musicals before and has experience in musicals. Hardy, do you have any opinion on these two people?" Meyer asked.

Hardy was a little dazed.

Stanley Donan, if he remembers correctly, it seems that Song in the Rain from another world was also filmed by director Donan.

"I have no objection, I very much believe in the strength of MGM." Hardy said with a smile.

Meyer smiled and said, "I bought a Playboy, Hardy, I have to say that you have a very unique vision. This magazine will definitely catch on. This is definitely a good business to make money."

"These are small businesses." Hardy smiled.

"Small business, now the stock price of Playboy has risen to $6, and you own all the shares in the magazine, but you are estimated to be able to make more than 5 million."

Meyer was full of envy when he spoke. His MGM is so big that he can't make so much money in a year of hard work.

Then the two talked about "Red Dead Redemption". The box office of Red Dead has been fixed at 7.86 million, which has been locked in this year's box office championship. However, this money will be divided into the middle of next year. It is only the first one. I'm afraid it will take one or two years to get all the money.

Hardy also has another income, which is the documentary "Los Angeles Bank Robbery". The box office of this documentary also exceeded 2 million.

"Mr. Meyer, how about this year's Golden Globes and Oscars?" Hardy asked.

Meyer smiled, "There are a lot of good movies this year, but I think Red Dead Redemption has a certain advantage in the competition for the best actor, best screenwriter, and best song in the Golden Globe Awards."

"What about Oscar?" Hardy asked.

"Have you never heard that the Golden Globes are a barometer of Oscars."

By the end of the afternoon, three or four hundred guests had already arrived, and most of them were people with good looks.

But this and Siegel's expectations are still a bit big.

He is still waiting for the flight Siegel hired a few planes specially to let them send guests. Among them are the big people he invited, California lawmakers and officials. These people will serve as his Opening guests.

have to say,

Siegel's contacts are indeed very wide, and he knows so many big people.

But God is not beautiful,

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sudden heavy rain in Las Vegas. You must know that Las Vegas is an arid desert area with very little rainfall and very few heavy rains.

But today, the day when the Flamingo opened, ushered in a heavy rain that was rare in ten years.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and lightning flashed from time to time.

Siegel's face became extremely ugly standing at the window.
