Chapter 192 Eye-catching benefits
Some people won big prizes, which deeply stimulated many gamblers. The phone numbers of proxy investment companies were blown up. Some people opened accounts and people made bets. One hundred phones kept ringing.
Only three days, more than 10,000 new accounts were added, and the amount of funds of the agency investment company reached 2 million, and the agency investment company only charged 100,000.
There is another point. The money is placed in the account of the agency investment company, and there is no interest. The agency can lend the money to the bank and make a profit.
As for the money to buy lottery tickets, hehe, the most indispensable thing in Los Angeles is cash. After the funds are run, this money is equivalent to becoming legal funds. Is there anything more than money laundering.
at the same time,
Because of the opening of the proxy investment business, the prize money of the casino lottery is getting higher and higher. In only a few days, it reached 30,000 US dollars. The external proxy investment has exceeded the betting amount of the gamblers in the casino.
The expansion of the fund pool will stimulate the enthusiasm of gamblers and bettors, and more people will bet.
After half a month.
Bill reported to Hardy that the account funds of the "Luck Goddess Agency Investment Company" reached 10 million, and the casino's lottery amount was stable at more than 40,000 US dollars each time.
In fact, agency investment companies are still small.
is mainly to greatly enhance the casino business.
Hardy calculated an account.
Each draw amounts to 40,000, 10 times a day, and the casino draws 15%. If this status is maintained throughout the year, this income can reach 22 million.
This is definitely a crazy income.
Las Vegas Hardy Manor.
Hadi invited Las Vegas Mayor Goodman as a guest. Goodman liked red wine, and Hardy brought Mr. Mayor to his underground wine cellar.
The wine cellar is built relatively deep, and the wall is very thick, so it is naturally kept at a constant temperature all year round, and the temperature is about 17 to 8 degrees.
The entire wine cellar is more than 200 square meters, the walls and the middle are filled with wooden shelves, and a bottle of red wine is inserted in the wooden shelf.
Goodman drew out a bottle casually, "Latour in 1908, a good year. It is said that 2008 was the best year in those 10 years. The price of this bottle is estimated to be US$500."
Hadi smiled, “500 is the price of the previous two years. Recently, the price of high-vintage wine has skyrocketed. Now it should be around US$800 and retail sales should be around US$1,000.”
Goodman took it in his hand and looked at it carefully twice, and finally put it back into the wine rack reluctantly, took two steps and picked up a bottle again, Raphael 1928.
Margaux, Baima, Gudai, Mouton, Patus, look at the wine in the cellar, the value of the red wine here is estimated to be no less than four or five million.
Hardy drew a bottle of wine from the wooden shelf, smiled and handed it to Mayor Goodman, "How about we drink this bottle today?"
Romane Conti in 1914, Mayor Goodman said that it is a good wine. Because of the low output, the price of Romani Conti has been extremely high. This bottle is estimated to be more expensive than that bottle of Latour, and it is possible to sell it until 2000.
The two returned to the living room, handed the wine to the butler, and asked him to sober up. Hardy and Mayor Goodman sat down and chatted.
"The Hardy Hotel opened, business is very good, gamblers are constantly flowing every day, and buses keep sending people from Los Angeles, Las Vegas is becoming more and more prosperous." Mayor Goodman said with a smile.
"The government can receive more taxes only when the market is prosperous, right?" Hardy said with a smile.
"Oh, of course, Las Vegas citizens hope that this place will get better and better. Next year, the government is going to invest more money in the construction of infrastructure, such as drainage systems, road traffic systems, communication systems, environmental sanitation systems, and so on." The mayor said .
"If the government needs, Hardy Hotel is willing to contribute to municipal construction. There will be more and more tourists in the future, but Las Vegas has only one small hospital, some of which cannot meet the current needs. I plan to invest in the construction of a large-scale comprehensive hospital. , What do you think of Mayor Goodman." Hardy said.
Currently, Las Vegas has only tens of thousands of permanent residents, and it is not ranked among American cities at all, but he knows that the population of Las Vegas will explode in the future, and the construction of a hospital will definitely not lose money.
And in the future, I will be able to serve my own people.
Mayor Goodman immediately became happy when he heard that, building a hospital is also one of the urban infrastructure, and for him it is also a political achievement.
"Also, there are elementary schools and middle schools in Las Vegas, but there is no university of its own. I think Las Vegas should also have its own university. What do you think I build a University of Las Vegas? How?" Hardy asked.
Mayor Goodman looked at Hardy in shock. If he could really add a university to the city during his tenure, it would definitely be a great achievement and would even be re-entered into the history of urban construction.
"Of course it is good, but our population is sparse and the industrial structure is simple. Comprehensive universities are definitely not suitable. Those universities are often developed for more than a hundred years. What kind of university do you think Las Vegas can open?" Goode Mayor Man asked.
Hardy knew what Mayor Goodman meant.
There are only casinos in Las Vegas, and nothing else. Is it possible to open a gambling university?
That is too ridiculous.
Hardy knows that Las Vegas will indeed have its own university in the future, which will not be established until more than ten years later.
He came to Las Vegas in his previous life. Tour guides and tourists have introduced that the University of Las Vegas offers courses in art, environmental science, hotel management, etc. The hotel management major ranks first among all universities in the United States.
"In the future, Las Vegas will develop very quickly. More and more people will come to travel. The hotel service industry will be short of people. We can open a hotel management discipline. When it develops in the future, we will slowly add other disciplines." Hardy said.
It is said that it is a university, but it is actually a technical school, hotel management school and so on.
Mayor Goodman felt that Hardy’s proposal was very practical, and it was not very high-end, so he opened his mouth and said that he should get the world's first-class university.
The butler has sobered the wine and took it to the living room to pour it on the two of them. Goodman picked up the glass and looked at the emerald red liquor. He said that this is the top red wine Romani Conti.
Drink a sip,
Swallow gently.
This small bite is a few dollars.
The taste of gold is full of mouth.
Goodman said to Hardy, "An old friend called me two days ago. He said he saw me on Las Vegas TV. He said he was happy to see the changes in Las Vegas. He said that he would come to Las Vegas to play with me when he had time. By the way, my friend is a state legislator from Nevada."
A few days ago, Hardy asked the TV station to interview the Mayor Goodman. Mr. Mayor stood in the courtyard of the Hardy Hotel, with tourists passing by, talking about the government’s plans and visions for the future of Las Vegas.
is a show.
Hardy took a sip of wine and smiled and said: "Mr. State Assemblyman is coming to Las Vegas. This is not for fun but for business investigation. Mr. Mayor can tell your friends that Hardy Hotel is willing to provide free hotel entry. Get a better understanding of the current situation in Las Vegas."
"By the way, if he has a family with him, he can open a few more rooms."
Goodman raised his glass to thank Hardy.
"In two days, I will have a groundbreaking ceremony to build a racetrack and a dog racing track."
"The dog racing field is a civilian entertainment project. People love to hear about this project. If you have nothing to do, you can relax and play, and then the TV station will also broadcast the game."
“I’m going to make a more advanced racecourse. The venue covers an area of about 40 acres. In addition to the racecourse, there are also various horse-raising facilities. It can be used for horse races at ordinary times, and it can also host national horse races and horse races from all over the country. Gathering here is also a great publicity for Las Vegas." Hardy said.
"Mayor Goodman, please cut the ribbon together."
Goodman was naturally willing to urban construction, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Mayor Goodman, did anyone complain to you that the Hardy Hotel had affected their business? Some people even reported to the government that the Hardy Hotel lottery was a disguised lottery business and violated federal laws. ?" Hardy asked with a smile.
Mayor Goodman shrugged, "Someone really asked me to say something bad about Hardy Hotel. I know that someone jealous of Hardy’s business is too good. As for selling lottery tickets, I don’t think it’s selling. For lottery tickets, proxy investment companies only help with betting and have nothing to do with lottery tickets."
Hadi smiled and raised his glass.
Mayor Goodman and Hardy touched, and the two took a sip together, and the exchange of opinions was smooth.
When Mayor Goodman left Hardy Manor, there were two more boxes of red wine in the trunk of the car. There were two bottles of top vintage high-quality red wine each, for a total of 12 bottles. The value of these red wines alone was more than US$8,000.
This is not bribery, it's just an exchange between drinkers.
A few days later.
Hold the groundbreaking ceremony of the dog racing track and racetrack.
Hadi invited the mayor and officials of Las Vegas, and also sent invitations to other casino leaders, and most of them attended by appointment.
The investment in the dog racing field is small, covering an area of 2 acres, and the facilities are not complicated. The total investment is only US$100,000.
The scale of the racecourse is relatively much larger, and there are more various facilities. Large-scale events will be held in the future, so the investment reaches 1 million US dollars.
Hadi cut the ribbon with the mayor on the stage, and the person in charge of the casino in the audience was whispering.
" During this time, Hardy Casino was all the rage, and gamblers were all attracted by them. Now there are fewer and fewer gamblers in our casino, and there are not many people in a day." A casino supervisor complained.
"The same is true for us, almost no business." Another main channel.
A supervisor looked at Hardy and said, "The facilities at Hardy Hotel are really attractive. They are delicious and fun, and guests can enjoy it. Our casino is not competitive at all. This is just the beginning. Now, our life will become more and more difficult in the future."
"Do you have any ideas?" Someone asked.
"Any way, do you have a way, or do you think you have the strength to challenge Jon Hardy?" Someone sneered.
Hadi Casino not only sucked all the guests, but also set up a telephone proxy investment service. With this live-streamed lottery event, people can calculate that Hardy must have made a lot of money.
Many people are very jealous.
At the end of the opening ceremony, Hardy sent away Mayor Goodman and officials, looked at the casino supervisors, and walked over with a smile.
"Thank you all for coming to the groundbreaking ceremony of the racetrack and the dog racing track. There will be two more places to play in Las Vegas in the future, and there will definitely be more and more tourists." Hardy said.
Some supervisors nodded slightly, while others secretly pouted their lips.
You have more customers. Anyway, people who come to Las Vegas to play, almost all of them go to your casino.
The Stalach family casino manager of the five major families in New York, with a hard temper, said directly: "Mr. Hardy's casino business is indeed getting better and better, but for us, not only did we not get the spotlight, but the business was not as good as before."
Hadi looked at this guy.
At the beginning, he asked people to blow up these casinos, how could they not know, and naturally hate Hardy in their hearts.
However, because of the agreement reached by several companies and Hardy’s power on the west coast, they dare not provoke it.
Several casinos have been renovated and finally reopened, but there are no customers, how can they be angry.
Hadi smiled coldly.
"Business can't do others, do you blame others for being too strong? Why don't you want to improve yourself?"
"The Hardy Hotel was not optimistic before. Why can it be managed well now? Because this is the future trend. Only when customers are satisfied will they travel thousands of miles to the desert of Las Vegas to play. Gaming tables can't attract people."
"There is no way to make money in Las Vegas. What we should do is to make the cake bigger, not to get angry at the sight of other people's business, and even some people want to destroy it."
Hearing this sentence, a few of the casino managers' faces became unsightly.
Hardy ignored these people, looked at others and said, "There are a lot of business in Las Vegas. Even if there are ten Hardy hotels, everyone will make money. Go back and bring a message to your boss. , Just say that Jon Hardy is going to build a more luxurious casino, and ask them if anyone is willing to cooperate."
All the managers were stunned.
The atmosphere of the same hatred just now dissipated, and everyone made a small calculation.
"Mr. Hardy is going to build a more luxurious hotel than Hardy Grand Hotel, is this true?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it is true I might as well tell you one thing. In fact, the reception capacity of the Hardy Hotel has reached saturation. Our hotel has been scheduled for two months. In fact, many people are willing to come over. Play, your casino business is not working, not because there are no gamblers, but because gamblers look down on it."
This sentence is very Versailles, but also very annoying.
But no one here refutes, because this is indeed the case. Their casino business is not good, but the business in the surrounding hotels is much better than before.
It's not that there are no guests.
You can’t attract customers.
"The new casino will be even bigger. It is expected to occupy an area of 100 acres, the casino will be more luxurious, the hotel rooms will be more, at least more than a thousand suites, and there will be supporting facilities around, including shopping plazas and various amusement facilities."
"The initial budget for this casino."
Hadi stretched out a finger.
"One hundred million!"
Many people can't help but breathe in surprise.
What a big handwriting, one hundred million!
