Siegel showed Hardy his casino, but now it was just a big construction site and nothing could be seen.
"Haha, let's take a look at my plan."
As he spoke, he pulled out a plan from under the table. When he opened it, it was half a square meter in size. It was painted in colors, and it was similar to the renderings of later generations.
There is a name on the drawing.
"Flamingo Casino."
Hadi thought that the name was exactly the same as in later generations.
Siegel pointed to the blueprint and introduced it to Hardy enthusiastically. There were not many people coming here, and Siegel had many wonderful ideas during the construction, so he took Hardy as the person to talk to.
"We will build a huge neon light column here, about 30 meters high. I want everyone to see the flamingo sign when they come to Las Vegas, and attract them here."
"There is a wide corridor at the entrance with palm trees planted on both sides. I want those tall palm trees. I have already reserved 300 trees from a green plant company at a high price. When people come here in the future, they will not only feel hot and dry, but also feel the refreshing feeling of an oasis."
"The most exquisite part of the building is the Flamingo Casino. I told the construction company to use the best materials and the most luxurious decoration to make it look magnificent. Everyone who comes here should feel like they are walking into a palace."
"I will also build a small lake next to it for people to relax and cool off. There will be a swimming pool next to the lake for tourists to play. In order to supply water, I will dig a small river to bring water over to supply all the water for the casino."
"There is a large area at the back where we plan to build a hotel and restaurant. My requirement is that it can accommodate more than 500 people at the same time."
Siegel introduced other facilities to Hardy, including parking lots, shopping malls, tennis courts, sunbathing centers, cinemas and other facilities.
Almost everything you can think of is here.
Even if Hardy came from the future, he would still admire Siegel's idea. If it were completed according to his idea, this place would become a leisure sanctuary integrating gambling and entertainment.
"Mr. Siegel, how much do you estimate it will cost if it is built entirely according to your design?" Hardy asked.
"I don't know. I have raised 4 million now, but I'm afraid it's not enough."
Then Siegel smiled lightly and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, once the construction is completed and the investors see the results, I believe they will make additional investments."
Hadi thought,
You are preparing money for kidnapping.
He remembered that in the movie, Siegel failed in the end. He spent too much money but failed to get off to a good start. The casino closed down and he was finally killed.
You know, the partners that Siegel found were all gang bosses.
But Hardy was also a little confused. Even if Siegel's investment failed, the casino was still there, so there was still a chance. Why did those people want to kill Siegel? You know, Siegel was one of the veterans of the Mafia.
Maybe,
There may be other unknown reasons.
Hardy looked at the blueprints and wanted to advise Siegel to keep things simple and open the casino as soon as possible to avoid the trouble that would occur later.
But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
Whether in the movie or in his current interactions with Siegel, he knew that Siegel was a very conceited person. It was extremely difficult for him to change his mind about things he believed in, and he was also a perfectionist. Now he was very passionate about the Flamingo Casino, and his persuasion would have no effect at all.
Besides, his current identity is just Siegel's subordinate, which is not enough for him to give suggestions to the boss.
After talking about the construction of the casino, Siegel was in a very happy mood, just like a child who showed off his favorite toy to others and felt satisfied.
"Hardy, what do you want to see me about this time?" Sieger asked.
Hardy did not tell Siegel his purpose on the phone, mainly because he was afraid of leaking information. He only said that he had something important to discuss with him.
Hardy placed the suitcase on the table and gently opened the buckle to reveal the banknotes inside.
"Mr. Siegel, this is $90,000. I made a sale a few days ago. This is the surrender portion."
Sigel made some calculations in his mind.
They agreed on a 70% to 30% split, and handing over 90,000 meant that Hardy got 300,000, which was definitely a big deal.
"Oh, tell me what the transaction is about?" Siegel became interested.
There was no need for Hardy to hide anything from Siegel, so he told him the whole story.
His men got the news that Spain was preparing to expand the drug trade, and were attacked by the Spanish gang at their base. They counterattacked and obtained accurate information, accurately arranged an ambush and raided a few nights, and stole the 300,000 in cash.
As for the 500 kilograms of drugs, Hardy did not say anything.
Siegel looked at Hardy with admiration in his eyes and patted Hardy on the shoulder. "Very well done, Hardy. You have done more than I expected."
Hardy was silent for a moment, and then, as if summoning up his courage, he said to Siegel, "Mr. Siegel, I have an idea. Robbery is not a long-term solution. If you want to make money, it would be best to have a business that makes stable money."
"What do you think?" Siegel asked.
"I think if we take over the Spanish territory and do business there, we can probably earn 1 million or more every year."
Siegel looked at Hardy seriously and suddenly laughed, "Hardy, I like young people who have ideas and energy."
"Do you know why I chose you? Because I saw a fighting spirit in you, which Fred doesn't have."
"I conquered the land and handed it over to him. He managed it for seven or eight years, but the land remained the same without any development. The Irish and Spanish still did business in their land."
If Siegel had not been obsessed with the glamorous life in Hollywood and was the boss of a Jewish gang, he would have killed all the Irish and Spanish people and completely unified the Los Angeles underworld.
"Hadi, I support you!"
"If you can take down the Spanish gang, I'll let you form your own gang, and you'll be the boss, on equal footing with Fred."
The main purpose of Hardy's visit to Las Vegas this time was for this matter. He had originally prepared a lot of speeches, but he didn't expect that Siegel agreed after he just mentioned it, and also agreed to let him form a gang.
This result has far exceeded Hardy's expectations.
Siegel leaned forward and said in a low voice:
"After you form a gang, all income will not be included in the Jewish gang's account. I want 40% of the total income. Give it directly to me."
Although Siegel controlled the entire Jewish gang, the income he received from the Jewish gang each year only accounted for about 10% of the total income of the Jewish gang.
When building Las Vegas, Siegel could only come up with $1 million.
If Hardy really controls the Spanish Gang's territory and earns more than a million dollars a year, then Siegel's share will far exceed the Jewish Gang's income.
"Okay, Mr. Siegel." Hardy responded straightforwardly.
Hahaha~~!
Siegel smiled and stood up.
He is in a very happy mood now. If he trains a good subordinate today, he may reap a rich harvest tomorrow.
"This is your first time in Las Vegas. Spend two days here and enjoy the scenery and beauty of Las Vegas. I believe you will fall in love with this place," said Siegel with a smile.
night,
Siegel took Hardy to a restaurant for dinner and met Virginia Hill, the woman who made Siegel fall in love with.
This woman is dazzlingly beautiful, with an evening dress that reveals her perfect figure, and there is always a hint of arrogance on her face.
Perhaps it was this unique quality of the woman that attracted the mafia boss Siegel.
After dinner,
Siegel took Hardy to a casino again.
"What do you like to play?" Siegel asked.
"I've never been to a casino, except for that time with the Spanish gang," said Hardy.
Siegel smiled and shook his head. "That won't do. Young people need to be exposed to more things. You will also run a casino in the future. How can you not know the rules of the casino?"
"Let's have some fun tonight."
After that, he exchanged five thousand chips and left with Virginia. After they walked a distance, Virginia looked back at Hardy and asked in a low voice, "Who is this guy? It seems you like him very much?"
"He is just one of my subordinates, but I think highly of him and I think his future is limitless," said Siegel.
Virginia glanced again at Hardy, who was exchanging chips.
She knew that Siegel was a very proud man and rarely praised his subordinates.
I don’t know what’s so special about this young man that Siegel is so fond of him.
