At the Jewish gang headquarters, Hardy brought Bill to meet Fred. Fred shook hands with the two and felt very emotional.

In the past, Bill was his subordinate, a small leader who was not ranked high. Hardy even joined the Jewish gang temporarily. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, his status rose rapidly, and he seized the Spanish gang's territory. Now he is on equal footing with himself.

"Hardy, Bill, I didn't expect you to develop so quickly. You quietly seized the Spanish gang's territory and business and established your own gang."

"We are all Mr. Siegel's men. We are a family." Hardy said with a smile.

Fred smiled and said, "Yes, we are indeed a family. We will help each other and deal with the provocations from the Irish and Mexicans together."

"He called me before and said he had something to discuss with me. What was it?" Fred asked.

The three of them sat down.

Hardy said:

"In our territory, there are three nightclubs and 38 bars. Now all the drinks are purchased from the Jewish Gang warehouse. We should be considered a super large customer. I hope Boss Fred will give us a preferential price."

Supplying alcohol is not a small business. If Bill and his friends purchase their goods from the Jewish Gang in the future, the Jewish Gang’s alcohol business will double its sales.

It's definitely a good thing for the Jewish community.

Fred thought about it.

"I can give you a 10% discount. This price is already very favorable."

"Deal." Hardy agreed immediately.

A 10% reduction is acceptable to Hadi, as the Jewish gang can also make money. Besides, Hadi came here today to discuss alcohol only as a side topic, as he has bigger business to discuss.

"Boss Fred, you should know the original casino of the Spanish Gang, right?" Hardy asked.

"You mean the Mackenzie 5 Club?" Fred asked.

"Yes, that casino was originally run very well by Dani. It has not been open since we robbed it. It was actually undergoing renovation. Now it has been completely completed and is more luxurious than before. I would like to ask Boss Fred if he is willing to take over this business." Hardy said.

Fred was surprised.

"You want to transfer the casino business to me, don't you plan to do it yourself?!"

Fred knew that the casino run by Dani at that time was very prosperous. Located in Hollywood, it attracted many wealthy celebrities to play there. It was considered a high-end place in Los Angeles and could earn two or three hundred thousand dollars a year.

He didn't know why Hardy didn't open the business himself but instead transferred it to himself.

Moreover, allowing Jewish gangs to operate casinos in their territory is equivalent to allowing the Jewish gangs to extend their hands deep into their own territory, and few gangs can tolerate this.

Hardy waved his hands helplessly.

"I don't have the right people to run a casino."

To open a casino, you need not only money, but also subordinates who can support the casino and experts who are proficient in gambling. It is definitely not easy to start from scratch.

The Jewish gang is different. They now run several underground casinos and have sufficient manpower.

"How do you plan to transfer this business?" Fred asked.

Hardy already had a plan in mind.

"The lease of Mackenzie Club No. 5 still has three years left. The renovation cost more than $150,000. If Fred takes over the whole thing, please give me $200,000 for this part."

Fred felt that the price of 200,000 was not cheap, but it was acceptable.

"There is also a business license fee. The Jewish gang entered our territory to do business, so it is reasonable for them to pay a part of the business license fee. However, I don't know how much this should be calculated."

Hardy looked up and thought.

He was not surprised at the operation of Freedom. When the Spanish gang sold cocoa powder on the Jewish gang's territory, they also had to pay operating fees, and the fees were not low, accounting for about one-third of the income.

That casino earns 200,000 or 300,000 yuan a year. Should I give him 100,000 yuan a year?

Hardy seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked at Fred in a daze, "Boss Fred, Bill and his team have recently started a small business, which is to put slot machines and pinball machines in bars and convenience stores."

"How about we exchange the management rights? I won't charge the casino management fee. At the same time, the Jewish Gang will open up the land to the Bill Gang, and we can put slot machines and pinball machines on the Jewish Gang's land. Do you think this is feasible?"

Fred had no idea about the slot machine and pinball machine business. In his mind, slot machines and pinball machines were small businesses.

How much money can you earn for each penny you bet?

The only thing that worried him was that Hadi's power would enter the territory of the Jewish gang, but he was relieved immediately.

Hadn't he also extended his influence deep into the Bill Gang's territory?

Moreover, both gangs are owned by Boss Sigel.

The Jewish gang's alcohol is sold throughout the Bill gang's territory, and the two gangs have actually merged together.

"Okay, I agree to exchange management rights." Fred agreed immediately.

Agreement reached.

The Jewish gang operates a casino on the Bill gang's land, and the Bill gang operates slot machines and pinball machines on the Jewish gang's land, and neither side pays the other's land fees.

That afternoon,

Fred brought a few of his men, accompanied by Bill, to visit the McKinsey Club No. 5. Fred was very satisfied with the decoration here. It was much more luxurious than the three underground casinos he operated and would definitely attract high-end customers.

When Bill left, he had a suitcase containing $200,000 in cash.

Of course,

The $200,000 belongs to Boss Hardy and has nothing to do with Bill.

However, he also reaped huge rewards, obtaining the operating rights of the Jewish gang's slot machine and pinball machine. In Bill's view, this business makes much more money than the casino.

Looking at the cash box on the table, Hardy counted the assets in his hands.

The cash check for $300,000 was in his hand, but he did not cash it because it was legal money. The advantage of legal money is that it does not need to be laundered and can be used in legal transactions.

Now that he had an additional $200,000 in cash, he planned to give $100,000 to the security company as operating capital, and another $100,000 to Henry Matthew as a bonus from the previous business.

He still had the 100,000 yuan he had earned earlier.

This means he has $400,000 in cash available.

He also owns a security company, a film company and an agency.

Thinking about the film company and the agency, he suddenly remembered that Dani seemed to have left him a legacy.

Dani also owns a Chengren Film Company and three brokerage companies.

I took out the documents from the drawer and looked at them. The legal persons listed on them were all Dani. How could I get these assets into my hands?

Hardy thought of Simon.

He was Dani's military advisor and a financial accountant, so he must know about these things. He shouted to the outside of the door and one of his men came in.

"Go to the loan shark company and call Simon. Say I have something to ask him."

"Yes, the boss." The subordinate immediately went out to pick him up.

Hardy looked at the documents in his hand and thought to himself that he must find a suitable financial accountant as soon as possible. As his business grew in the future, he would need someone to help him keep an eye on things.

There are so many gang leaders, but few are sentenced for criminal cases. Instead, many are imprisoned for tax evasion.

But finding a qualified and trustworthy financial manager is very difficult because your economist knows almost all your secrets.

Simon received a notice that Mr. Hardy was looking for him. He was extremely nervous and his body was slightly hunched when he stood in front of Hardy.

"Hello, Mr. Hardy."

Hardy pushed the film company and agency documents in front of Simon and said, "Simon, Dani had a large stake in these companies. Now that Dani is dead, is there any way to get these assets out?"

Simon looked at the documents.

Very familiar.

Because he did all these for Dani back then.

"Mr. Hardy, it's not easy to get shares. It involves legal regulations and economic treaties, but it's not difficult to get assets." Simon said.

Hadi thought to himself, what I want is assets.

"Oh, how did you get those assets?"

"For example, these brokerage companies rent their premises, which are not worth much. The most valuable things are the actors who have signed contracts with them. We can sell these actor contracts to our own company at a low price."

“As for the price, it could be $100 or $1.”

"There is also a film company. Dani is the major shareholder of this film company. The person in charge there is a small shareholder who holds 12% of the shares. I know that person. He was originally just a small director and set up a film studio. Later, the film he made was favored by Dani, so he established the film company."

"We can package and sell the film company's assets to another company. The price is negotiable. I think as long as the minority shareholders get back their share, he won't dare to stop us."

"Then these companies are just empty shells and can be thrown aside and ignored."

Hardy thought Simon's proposal was a good one.

In this way,

Others may not be able to do it, but they are gangs, and with some threats, those people will naturally surrender.

Hardy threw the two agreements to Simon and said, "You are responsible for handling this matter and helping Bill get his uncle's assets back."

Simon quickly took it.

"Okay, Mr. Hardy, I will take care of this matter."

Not long after Simon left, the head of the security company, Lanster, came to Hardy's office and said with a bit of helplessness on his face:

"Today I met with two bank executives again, but both times I failed. Our security company has just been established and has no reputation. They are not willing to cooperate at all."

The security company broke away from the gang and returned to normal operation. Hardy asked Lanster to carry out daily business. These days, Lanster took his men to talk to banks door to door, hoping to find customers.

Banks are the best clients for security companies.

According to statistics, there are more than 14,000 financial institutions in the United States. Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, with more than 160 banks and countless branches and offices. HD Security only needs to find a few large banks to cooperate with.

However, these banks have either signed contracts with other companies or have their own security forces. In addition, HD Security was just established and was unknown. Lanster has already contacted dozens of banks, but none of them is willing to cooperate.

Hadi smiled indifferently.

"We can find customers slowly, and there will always be customers. We are small, and we can survive as long as we find two partners, and then we can develop slowly."

Hardy plans to vigorously develop legitimate business in the future. He has a complete vision for the future. HD Security occupies a very important position in his economic empire. Even if it does not make money, he will support it.

"Lanster, I'm going out tomorrow." Hardy said.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to New Mexico and see Ava."
