Chapter 190 The Las Vegas Channel is Live
The “Global Times” newspaper was officially established, but Hardy did not act as a man. He brought Andy and Mark Keane to Las Vegas.
In the Hardy Hotel room, Hardy called Irina to meet alone.
"Boss, things are going very smoothly on the TV station. That Collin Firth is not bad. He speaks humorously and is very suitable to be the host of this open-style show. He is now leading people to record the show."
Irina Hui reports.
"Yes, I will see the effect of the film later, I have something else to look for you this time." Hardy said and handed the two documents to Irina.
"Share Agreement".
"Corporate Agreement".
Irina was surprised after reading it. Hardy wanted to get a newspaper. The share agreement stated that she owns 2% of the Global Times.
Then let yourself be the legal person of the Global Times.
"Boss, why did you let me be a man?" Irina asked in surprise.
Hardy spread out and said helplessly: “U.S. law stipulates that one person cannot be the owner of newspapers and TV stations at the same time. To avoid future troubles, Andy suggested that I find another legal person. Of course, legal persons do not need to hold shares."
"Then why do you want to give me shares again?"
Hardy just said that the "Global Times" is going to become a major newspaper like the "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times". The market value of each of those major newspapers is over 10 million. Although they only give themselves 2% of the shares, they are also worth two. Three hundred thousand.
This is not a small amount of money. Irina’s current salary is $500 per month plus bonuses, which is already a very high salary, but even so, it will take 30 years to earn two or three hundred thousand.
In the later generations, it is equivalent to the boss giving you twenty to thirty million dollars in shares for nothing, and you are unhappy.
Hardy reached out and touched Irina’s face, and said softly: "I remember your birthday a few days later. This is a birthday present for you."
Irina fainted again.
Brought Irina to the office. Irina met Andy and Mark Keane. The French girl signed the agreement and became a shareholder and legal person of the Global Times.
As for the remaining shares of the Global Times, Andy will hide it through the cross-holding of multiple companies.
Immediately afterwards,
Hardy took Mark Keane to meet Donald Sutherland, the editor-in-chief of the Las Vegas News. The Las Vegas News, as the first newspaper to be acquired, will be incorporated into the Global Times from today.
Hadi ignores the rest, leaving it to Mark Keane to take care of himself.
What is the purpose of spending money to hire people is to let them kill themselves. If they do everything by themselves, no matter how much energy they have, they will be exhausted.
Hadi brought Irina and Andy to the Las Vegas TV station. The staff was busy setting up the equipment, and the editing team edited the things that were shot a few days ago. It was a busy scene.
It is estimated that it will take ten days to set up the radio station. This period of time is used to produce programs. Irina estimates that 100 hours of programs can be produced, but a lot of content can be played repeatedly, and new programs will be produced at the same time, so it’s no problem to satisfy the broadcast. .
"Boss, how should you make the betting you said?" Irina asked.
Hadi said before that the TV station broadcasts the casino lottery and can accept people from other places to call bets. This activity requires a lot of preparation.
Hardy explained:
"I have already set up a company alone. This company specializes in betting business. The legal person is Bill's manager and does not own the company's shares. The company's interests are returned to the Los Angeles company. Now they are already working and employ two hundred operators. ."
"If you want to bet, you must first transfer the money to the account of the betting company. The account is set up at Wells Fargo Bank. Money can be transferred across the country, and it can also be transferred through other banks, so this is very convenient."
"Every player has an account, and the betting company charges a 5% labor fee. When you want to place a bet, call the betting company and ask them to help with the betting and cross out the money in the account."
"There is no additional charge for gambling, only the casino rake and the various income taxes stipulated by the law are paid, but you must personally come to Las Vegas to collect it. Of course, you can also ask the betting company to help collect it, but as long as the funds enter the betting company The account is automatically charged a 5% labor service fee."
"U.S. law does not allow the sale of lottery tickets. This can be said that the betting company is helping to place bets in the casino, not counting the purchase of lottery tickets."
"Even if this betting company is finally traced, it has nothing to do with the Hardy Hotel. We are only responsible for the casino lottery. As for who bet, we are not responsible for verifying. It is a big deal that they will catch that legal person."
Irina was a little dumbfounded.
It turns out that you can still play like this.
Almost all the details have been thought of, perfectly avoiding the legal investigation clause.
Even if it is really held accountable, the Hardy Hotel does not have any responsibility. The gangsters are allowed to carry this gangster, and if they are thrown out to jail alone, the matter can be settled.
Hadi continued:
"The betting company stipulates that the minimum deposit bet amount is 100 US dollars. Our TV station is nationwide. If 10,000 people participate in the game, the betting company can receive 1 million funds."
"The handling fee for one million funds is 50,000 U.S. dollars. If there are 100,000 people participating, it is 10 million and the handling fee is 500,000."
"Will there be so many people?" Irina asked.
Hadi smiled slightly, "Don't talk about the United States, do you know how many people in Los Angeles participate in underground gambling every year? There are more than 100,000 people. Do you know how many people in New York participate in underground gambling? This number is even higher."
Los Angeles underground gambling is controlled by Hardy. The Corleone family is the big dealer of underground gambling in New York, so Hardy is very clear about these data.
Put it across the country, and the number will be even greater.
"The most important thing is not the handling fee. The lottery games are open to the whole country, which will play a great role in promoting the Hardy Hotel. More and more tourists will come here to play in the future."
"And there are more people betting, the amount of bet will increase a lot, the larger the amount, the stronger the stimulation to people, and the more people want to play."
"If an average of 20,000 US dollars per game, 10 games per day is 200,000, and the casino rake is 15% before tax after winning, then we can earn 30,000 US dollars, and this income alone can reach tens of millions of US dollars every year."
Irina slapped her tongue.
Tens of millions of dollars in revenue.
I really don’t know how the boss grows his head. He always thinks of some wonderful ways to make money, and all of them are huge profits.
night,
Hadi came to the manor with Irina and Andy. Bill also came during dinner. Andy and Bill were very familiar with each other, and they greeted with a smile.
Irina had heard of Bill, but it was the first time I saw Bill. Hardy introduced Bill to Irina.
Irina looked at Bill and said to her heart that this is the biggest gangster in Los Angeles right now, but in front of her boss, although Bill was joking and joking, there was a sense of awe in her bones.
After dinner, a few people chatted in the living room. Hardy asked Bill:
"How is the arrangement of the betting company?"
"I have been here for the past few days to focus on this matter. I am next to the casino. I bought a hotel and transformed it into a company. Now I have recruited 200 wiring girls who are undergoing training. They will work in two shifts. , Work 10 hours per shift."
"There are more than a dozen specialized statisticians and accounting bookkeepers. They accept bets one and a half hours before each draw, and then make statistics for the next half an hour, and then send them to the casino to bet and wait for the draw."
Hardy told:
"This is a formal company. The accounts must be clear. The tax should not be low, and the tax bureau cannot find loopholes. As for other things, if they are investigated for other reasons, they can find a lawyer to defend in court."
Bill nodded.
"I know that tax will not be less, and I have already found someone to take charge of this matter."
night.
Hadi lives in Irina’s room.
Yes,
is Irina’s room.
The last time the casino opened, the women came to Las Vegas, they all lived here, and each selected a room.
And these rooms, no one else will live in the future, as long as they come, here is their exclusive room, and even the furniture decoration can be recreated.
If the women put any furnishings here, such as favorite dolls, favorite pillows and mattresses, the housekeeper will keep them and no one will move them.
Irina has been living in her own room in the manor in the past few days when she came to Las Vegas. This feeling is very strange, making her feel like one of Hardy’s wives.
One of the wives? !
Irina felt that she had fallen.
The next day Andy returned to Los Angeles. There was a lot of work to establish the "Hadi Group". Andy is now busier than anyone else.
Hadi stayed and guided the establishment of a TV station. Whether it was a shortage of people or materials, a phone call was transferred from Los Angeles.
finally,
Twenty days later, the establishment of Las Vegas TV station was completed. A day of trial operation was carried out before. Today is the day of official operation. Connected to the national TV signal network, Hardy personally pressed the power button.
Las Vegas TV broadcasted the logo for the first time, followed by a landscape photo of Las Vegas and the gorgeous night view of the casino.
The lights are brilliant and neon flashing, and there are casino plaques everywhere.
The camera enters the Hardy Hotel, the magnificent gambling hall, the lively and noisy scene, the scene of people smiling after winning money.
The over-the-picture sound played: "Las Vegas, here is a city of entertainment, a city that never sleeps, welcome to Las Vegas."
Then the host Colin appeared and smiled and said to the camera, "From now on, I will take everyone to understand Las Vegas in depth. What shall we watch at the first stop?"
Colin smiled.
"How about taking you to see a striptease show? If you are interested, come with me." He laughed and led the way, and the camera followed.
This is the first time this program format appeared on TV. The audience felt very special, as if they were traveling together.
Crossed the pink corridor and came to a hall. At this moment, dozens of spectators were sitting on both sides of the stage. With the sound of the music, a beautifully dressed and exposed dancer walked onto the stage to show off her perfect female body.
certainly,
This woman is wearing clothes, but it is a little bit exposed, but it is definitely within the range allowed by the TV station.
Colin took a color-printed promotional color from the shelf next to him, and said with a grin: "Have you seen this brochure? There are photos of all the dancers, three-dimensional heights and weights, and their names. They are now on the stage marked with this Bit, known as Las Vegas'Night Flower Jenny'."
Speaking, the camera turned to the stage again.
Looking at some ****, Colin looked at the time, and suddenly said anxiously, “Ah, the draw time is about to come, I have to hurry up and make a bet, if I win, I’ll be rich.”
The camera followed Colin hurriedly to the casino lobby. There is a betting spot here. You can exchange for a lucky draw ticket by spending two dollars or using a chip representing two dollars.
Colin stuffed the lottery ticket in his hand into the large transparent glass box.
Then introduce to the camera.
"Are you curious about what this is playing? I will use this period of time before the draw to popularize it."
Then Colin began to introduce the casino lottery rules to the audience, buy numbers to bet, and the prize was opened every two hours, and the winner took all the bonuses of this period.
About ten minutes later, the lottery began. The lottery tickets were tumbling in the large glass box. Finally, some of them were sucked up. The lottery entered the next round, and finally one was selected. At this moment, hundreds of people gathered around the lottery table. Waiting for the draw.
The host looked at the number and shouted into the microphone: "Congratulations to this lucky customer. He won the prize and got 9880 US dollars. The number is...".
Suddenly the sound of a snare drum sounded suddenly.
It's a **** good atmosphere.
"The prize winner is No. 579~!"
At this time, a middle-aged man in the crowd suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly: "Ahhhh~~ I won the prize, I won the prize for Gada!"
screamed while running onto the stage.
"Are you number 579?"
"It's me, it's me." He said it was lower than the lottery ticket held in his hand.
After verifying that the host is correct, he smiled and congratulated: "Mr. Congratulations on your winning the grand prize. He said that he would give a few wads of money to the middle-aged man."
"The bonus here is the bonus after taxes and fees have been completed for you. Now the money is at your disposal." The host smiled.
Holding the money in his hand, the middle-aged man suddenly burst into tears.
"I lost my original job. I didn’t find a new job after looking for two months. I don’t have a wife and no home. I only have twenty dollars left. Where the miracle was created, I got on the bus that came here."
"I originally thought that I lost all my money, so I found a place to commit suicide, but I didn't expect it"
Speaking of here, he looked at the stacks of banknotes in his hand, and sobbed: "The Goddess of Luck finally took care of me once, and I want to thank it for giving me a chance to be born again."
The people around were very moved. The host took the microphone and asked, "What are you going to do after winning the money?"
"My dream is to be a farmer. I plan to use the money to buy a small farm, grow food, grow vegetables, and raise cattle and sheep. That is the life I long for."
The host smiled and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, “Congratulations, the money in your hand is enough to buy a 200-acre farm.”
Hadi looked at the picture in the player, and looked at Irina and said, "Is the acting a bit too much, it seems a bit exaggerated?"
Irina chuckled, "Boss, this is not an actor, but a real customer, and we have saved his name and contact information. We are going to make a return visit in a few days. When he buys the farm, we will come to his Take a look at the farm, the effect should be very good."
Hardy didn't expect it to be true, and he was also surprised.
But Irina said that during a return visit, Hardy thought the idea was very good ~ www.novelhall.com~ to change destiny and realize dreams is an excellent publicity for the casino.
Hadi looked at Irina with admiration.
The draw is over,
Colin continued to introduce the camera, "This is the lottery game activity of the Hardy Hotel. Is it interesting? Welcome everyone to play at the Hardy Hotel. You can also be the lucky person."
"Go, take you to other places to play, there are many fun places here."
The show continues.
Hardy nodded and thought it was pretty good. This Colin Firth is indeed a talent, very suitable for this kind of relaxed TV show.
"These are the programs recorded a few days ago, boss, when we record the program in the next issue, we can join the content of the betting company." Irina said.
Hadi waved his hand,
"No, don’t introduce it on TV. If our TV station introduces it directly, it will become our industry. This is the evidence. I have instructed Bill to let them advertise in the tabloid. Even if there is a problem, the casino will not be involved. ."
Irina looked at Hardy and found that the boss was so cunning.
