Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 260: : Gaming business

The Federal Supreme Court opens.

The New York prosecutor’s case against the ‘Hadi Hotel’ for allegedly opening a lottery will be heard again.

In court,

The two sides held another presentation and debate.

It is clear,

The New York State Attorney's Office did not produce any more favorable evidence, and the content of the statement was pale and weak.

On the other hand, the lawyer team of Hardy Group has a strong team, and the barristers gave generously, enumerating a lot of terms and evidence to prove that the lottery is not a lottery, but just normal casino gambling.

After a day of trial, the judge finally made a judgment and did not consider Hardy Casino’s “lottery event” as a lottery event.

But the Justice also said: “If the TV industry becomes more developed in the future, and the same lottery activities will increase, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the country. The Federal Court will recommend the government to introduce relevant policies and make relevant regulations on the'TV lottery' activities. limit."

The New York State prosecutor did not file an appeal.

This ending is the result of multiple operations. The old godfather found a relationship, President Johnson put pressure on it, and Dewey's backing financial consortium used the relationship to deal with it so quickly.

From now on,

Hardy Casino’s ‘lottery event’ is no longer a side-kick, but a legal business, which is another victory for Hardy.

The Federal Court will do what it says, and make recommendations to the government, suggesting that the government enact relevant regulations and restrictions on activities such as'television lottery draws'.

After President Johnson saw the proposal, he immediately gave instructions, and within a few days the government came up with relevant regulations.

To engage in'TV lottery lottery' activities in the future, you must get permission from the government. The government will issue access permits as appropriate. At the same time, the government has the right to supervise the legality and fairness of lottery activities to limit the proliferation of lottery activities.

And on the second day,

The Hardy Group obtained the first ‘TV lottery’ activity license in the United States. Since then, the Hardy Group has the right to carry out this activity legally.

"New York Times": "The Federal Supreme Court ruled that Hardy Casino won. Hardy Group won the first ‘TV lottery’ license issued by the government and obtained the legal right to operate. Hardy Group won the game.”

"Los Angeles Times": "The'TV lottery' was not recognized as a cash-out lottery activity. This is another failure of Dewey."

"Global Times": "The Hardy Group is preparing to organize more diverse TV lottery activities. At the same time, Hardy said that it will ask Nevada to open its lottery business."

Anyone who knows a little bit of the inside story will complain.

This operation is simply too straightforward, and fools can see that this ‘TV lottery’ license is tailor-made for the Hardy Group.

Hardy has a casino and a TV station. It is very difficult for others to intervene in this business.

Good now,

One more access license is issued.

So what is the restriction, it is simply protection.

Protect Hardy's business from being robbed.

Naked monopoly protection.

People who know the inside story better know that the success of this event has nothing to do with Hardy's investment in Johnson.

Hardy spent so much support for Johnson, and Johnson made some rules in the scope of his rights that were beneficial to the sponsors, which was originally part of the U.S. power game.

In the previous TV lottery event, Hardy was able to earn 20 to 30 million US dollars in profits every year. Now that he has obtained legal status, Hardy is ready to carry out vigorously. I believe that with Hardy’s business ability, it is not a problem to reach 50 million in annual profits.

For this.

The gangster family that worked with Hardy and the California consortium are even more happy to see, because Hardy previously agreed that when the new casino is completed, they will also carry out TV lottery activities, and they will earn more.

......

Hardy received a call from Bill.

"Boss, the number of customers of the agency investment company has soared by more than 100,000 in the past two days. Now the total number of customers exceeds 500,000, and the total amount of funds has reached 100 million US dollars." Bill excitedly said.

This lawsuit is well-known in the United States. The repeated reports in major newspapers have had a great advertising effect in themselves. Now the federal court has issued a ruling and the TV lottery is legal, which has relieved many people who were worried.

Since it is legal, it can be played. Many people have contacted proxy investment companies to prepare to play.

The casino reported to Hardy that the bonuses of the recent lottery activities have also skyrocketed. Generally, it can reach 70,000 or 80,000, and the highest is more than 100,000. If calculated according to this value, the casino can earn more than one item each year. 50 million dollars.

"Bill, divide the agency investment company into three." Hardy said.

"Ah, why?" Bill was surprised.

"In the future, the amount of funds will increase and the number of callers will increase. Don't let customers feel that we have a monopoly. Let them have the right to choose freely." Hardy said.

"Isn't it still a boss's company?" Bill asked in a puzzled way.

"Hehe, it's different. As long as they are not a boss, people will feel that they have the right to choose freely, and the customer's feelings are very important." Hardy said.

"Well, I'll let someone get a new company when I turn around." Bill quickly responded.

......

hang up the phone,

Hardy thought it was time to advance the development of the following lottery business. He had planned before, but the time was not ripe.

Now the Federal Court has ruled that the "lottery event" won the case, which is equivalent to opening a hole in the lottery industry.

It is much easier to operate.

The US lottery industry started from the colonial period until the War of Independence. The lottery industry has been developing steadily, and even raised a lot of funds for the War of Independence. By the 1890s, lottery activities were declared illegal.

It was not until 1964 that later generations reopened the lottery industry.

The lottery industry in the United States is state by state, and it is useless to find Johnson. This time Hardy is planning to find the Nevada government.

Hardy picked up the phone and called Nevada Congressman Anthony, who was a friend of the Mayor of Las Vegas, the Congressman Hardy had received.

After that incident last time, Hardy and Anthony have become friends.

"Congressman Anthony, I hope you will help me propose a bill to the State Assembly to open up the lottery industry in Nevada. Since Nevada has opened up the gambling industry and the yellow industry, why not open up the lottery industry? I believe the lottery industry will bring more to the state. Employment, more economic income, can also attract people to increase the population, there will be a series of benefits."

"I asked people to sort out a set of cooperation models, including lottery ticket sales, government supervision, capital use, profit sharing and other aspects." Hardy said.

"Mr. Hardy, I'm going to see you in Las Vegas." Anthony said.

the next day.

Anthony took his assistant to Las Vegas by plane and saw him in Hardy's office, and Hardy handed him a copy of the material.

Anthony took the information and looked.

Hardy's material refers to the more mature mechanism of later generations. The state government established the State Lottery Commission. The State Lottery Commission is an independent regulatory agency independent of the government's administrative system. The objects of supervision are lottery companies and lottery sellers.

Lottery dealers are private companies. They must be designated by the State Lottery Commission, issue licenses, and choose the most powerful and reputable company to operate. The dealers are responsible for the dealers.

The focus is on how the profit is distributed.

50% of the lottery sales revenue will be used as bonus funds, 25% will be used as public welfare funds, 12% will be used as lottery tax, 8% will be used as lottery operation and advertising fees, and 5% will be used as retailer profits.

The 25% of the public welfare fund is actually handed over to the government, which can be used for public education, medical care, and public facilities.

This is not a small amount of money.

For example, if a lottery is drawn once a week and 1 million lottery tickets are sold each time, the annual amount is 52 million US dollars, which is 13 million dollars every year. This money is completely controlled by the state government, and the state government also has a tax.

Originally, the state government was very short of money. No government is not short of money. With this income, it can definitely play a huge supplementary role. The governor can do many things that could not be done in the past.

"What do you think of this proposal, and what needs to be improved." Hardy asked.

"Mr. Hardy, this proposal is very mature and can be submitted directly." Anthony said in his heart. With so many capable people under Hardy, it is not easy to get a proposal.

Hardy handed Anthony a cigar, and the two of them were smoking cigars and chatting about the details of a lottery proposal. Anthony became more and more aware of Hardy's thoughts in his heart.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hardy, I will submit it to the parliament after I go back. I also have a few friends. I will mobilize them to do their best to pass the proposal." Anthony said.

Hardy looked at Anthony with a smile, and said, "Congressman Anthony, are you interested in participating in the Senate election next year? I can help if necessary."

Anthony became excited instantly.

Why did he come here? Isn't he just to find a big benefactor? He is just an ordinary state legislator, and he has no foundation. Without the support of big forces, it would be extremely difficult to go further.

And who is Hardy in front of me,

Nevada’s largest company is now called the Hardy Group. The largest casino in Las Vegas is owned by him, and there are two other larger casinos under construction, with hundreds of millions of investment, which accounted for more than half of Nevada’s total investment last year. .

He supported President Johnson's re-election, and forced Johnson, who had a support rate of only over 30%, to a support rate of over 40%. His competitor, Dewey, was almost killed by him.

Don't say Dewey made a mistake.

Without Hardy, the big benefactor, how could Dewey's affairs be exposed.

Arnold's thing,

Many people would rather believe that Hardy planned it.

Hardy is not only rich ~ www.readwn.com ~ is also powerful.

Now that the big benefactor throws an olive branch to him, how could Anthony not be excited, and immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. Hardy, if I become a senator and enter Congress, I will definitely help you fight for greater benefits."

Anthony is not humbling to say so, because almost every senator has a funder behind it, no, there should be a funder for all of them.

Hardy smiled and stretched out his hand, "We are happy to cooperate."

"Happy cooperation." Anthony shook hands with Hardy quickly.

In terms of politics, Hardy is only just getting started. He made it clear that he supports only two lawmakers, one is Nicholas from New York State, the other is Anthony from Nevada, and of course, there is another largest investment is Johnson.

Compared with other big consortia, he is still very thin.
