Hardy has little interest in gambling.
Every gambler thinks he or she is the lucky one, but in fact, the casino is destined to be the winner in the end.
Gamblers believe in luck, while casinos believe in mathematics.
Casinos don't need to cheat, they can just use mathematical formulas to drain gamblers' money.
The only rule to win at gambling is not to gamble!
Or you have the ability to be the banker.
In his previous life, Hardy traveled to Las Vegas. Many of his friends couldn't resist their curiosity and wanted to try the waters. He controlled his desire and didn't go to the gambling table. He just pulled a few slot machines for entertainment.
After exchanging chips for $2,000, Hardy sat down next to Siegel.
twenty one.
The gameplay is very simple.
Hardy only had to look at a few hands to get familiar with the rules.
Siegel and Virginia played excitedly and enjoyed the process very much, but after a dozen rounds of playing, they both lost more than a thousand dollars, while Hardy, the novice, won a lot.
Two hours later, Hardy actually won more than three thousand dollars.
Siegel looked at Hardy and said with a smile, "It seems that you are lucky. I have always believed that some people are really lucky, and it seems that you are one of them."
Then the three of them switched to Texas Hold'em.
Hardy was lucky again. After playing for two hours, he won several big games and his chips became more than $10,000, while Siegel and Virginia lost all their chips.
Hardy pushed all the chips in front of the two people and said, "Mr. Siegel, Miss Virginia, these are for you."
"Oh, you don't want to play anymore?"
"No, I'm going to go back and rest, and fly back to Los Angeles tomorrow morning," said Hardy.
"Why not spend a few more days in Las Vegas?" Siegel asked.
Hardy smiled and said, "I have already experienced the beauty of Las Vegas."
"Well, then you go back and rest."
After Hardy left, Virginia said to Siegel, "He is very good at controlling his desires. He won so much money and was able to walk away so cleanly."
Siegel turned the chips in his hand, "Only people like this can achieve success. I saw the shadow of Vito Corrion in him. Vito was a very self-disciplined person. I remember he once said, 'Excellent people are not necessarily self-disciplined, but self-disciplined people are usually better.'"
"You are also a very good person, but I don't see self-discipline in you." Virginia said to Siegel with a smile.
Siegel laughed and said, "Excellent people are not necessarily self-disciplined, but I am a genius."
Siegel is one of the founders of the Mafia and the boss of a killer group. He loves art and philosophy and has strong management skills. In these respects, he is indeed a genius.
But these genius attributes also made him arrogant and conceited.
The next day,
Hardy flew back to Los Angeles.
It was the same plane and the same pilot. This guy was a great pilot. Hardy guessed that he was a fighter pilot.
Back at the hotel, Hardy gathered his brothers together.
People didn't know what was going on and looked at Hardy curiously.
Hadi smiled.
"Brothers, there is an opportunity for development in front of us. Do you know who I met in Las Vegas this time?"
"Benjamin Siegel."
"Bies Siegel?" Sean asked in surprise.
Bis means stinkbug, which is not a good name. Siegel has always disliked this nickname, and no one dares to call him a stinkbug in front of him.
Henry, Matthew and others were all soldiers before and didn't know much about gang affairs, but Sean had been in this circle for several years and naturally had heard of Siegel's name.
"Sean, do you know this Siegal?" someone asked.
Sean immediately explained:
"I have heard of the legend about Siegel. The Jewish Gang was founded by Mr. Siegel. After he came to Los Angeles and established his own territory, he made Boss Fred the boss. Strictly speaking, Siegel is the real boss of the Jewish Gang. I didn't expect that the boss actually met Mr. Siegel."
Neil looked at Hardy and said, "Boss, what development opportunities are you talking about?"
"Mr. Siegel admires us very much. He promised that as long as we can grow stronger, he will support us in forming our own power, or even forming a gang." Hardy said.
Henry Matthew and others became excited when they heard this.
If they can form their own gang, they will make more money in the future and even become gang leaders with a certain amount of power.
Hardy continued: "But if we want to grow and develop, we need to have our own territory."
"Yes, we must have a site. We can't always stay in the hotel." Someone said.
Someone suggested: "The boss has taken in Big Ivan, right? We can also seize some of the territories of smaller gangs, such as the Polish and French neighborhoods, and connect them together. That way, we will have our own territory, and then we can slowly develop it."
"Boss, what do you think?" Henry looked at Hardy and asked.
Hadi looked at the crowd.
"Brothers, I think since we are going to do it, we might as well do something big. I plan to seize the Spanish territory. What do you think?"
Henry and others were shocked.
I thought the boss had a big appetite and went straight to the third largest gang in Los Angeles.
But it seems.
They have done this before.
"The Spanish territory is mainly in Hollywood. Although it is smaller than the old city and the main city, there are a large number of film companies and wealthy people here. It is indeed a good place." Leo said.
"We have investigated a lot of information about the Spaniards during this period. In fact, they are not as strong as they look. We have killed quite a few of them before. It is estimated that there are only more than a hundred of them." Henry said.
Matthew was more straightforward and said casually, "I think it's better to do a decapitation operation. Didn't we kill their military division a few days ago? Let Richard take action and kill Dani directly. The Spanish gang will definitely be in chaos, and we can take over the territory."
As soon as Hadi made the first move, the militants began to analyze it fiercely.
Everyone was very excited.
No one had any concerns or fear about going to war with the third largest gang in Los Angeles.
These guys are elites who survived the battlefield, developed a will of steel, and are not afraid of fighting at all.
"Boss, what are you going to do?" Leo asked.
On the plane back, Hardy had come up with a preliminary plan.
"We are not in a hurry to fight the Spaniards. After we destroy the Spanish gang, we will occupy and manage there. We need more manpower. Brothers, I have a mission for you. Contact your former comrades. We need more help."
Hardy didn't want to find people in society. It was very troublesome to cultivate fighting power among some useless gangsters. He wanted those who had fought on the battlefield so that they could form fighting power as soon as they came in.
The next day,
Henry and Matthew were busy contacting their former comrades.
Hardy was not idle.
Came to the government department and prepared to register a company.
"Sir, you want to register a security company, right?" the young staff member asked after taking the registration documents.
"Yes, HD Commercial Security Company. Our main business is to provide security personnel for high-end properties, high-end stores and banks. We also provide celebrity bodyguards, cash and jewelry escorts and other services."
On the plane back, he thought that he would have to recruit a lot of men in the future and he had to arrange a place for them. Hardy felt that the gang structure was still too loose, so he thought of a security company.
This problem can be solved well by assigning personnel to security companies.
If someone asks about their identities in the future, they can just tell their family and friends that they work for a security company.
These people's salaries can also be paid by the security company, so that the source of their money becomes legal.
Although he is now on the path of the underworld, Hardy knows that the underworld has a ceiling. When it develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably attract the attention of relevant departments and even control. Therefore, he has decided to go through legal procedures as much as possible when setting up a business in the future to make it easier to cleanse himself in the future.
in the United States.
As long as your company and finances are legal, no one can touch it.
