Chapter 851 Grassland in the Desert
Brushed Vegas, which means a green grassland located in the center of the desert.
It is the largest city in Nevada and the most prosperous gold grotto, a jewel in Nevada's barren land, a magical city.
After World War II, the Bald Eagle reached its peak in power, and people entered the era of crazy carnivals.
It was at this time that Nevada legislated the legality of the gaming industry due to the lack of resources.
The Chicago Luancino family, the Jewish gangsters Siegel and Rankis, these three people saw a huge opportunity here, built the most luxurious building and the largest casino in the United States at that time, searched for the most beautiful girls from the United States to perform goddess nude dances, and opened the world's largest casino.
At that time, the gangsters would not sit in the office, they would be in the hallway, in the kitchen, and when they met guests, they would smile and ask, "Have you eaten?" Do you want to see a show? How can I help you?
The gangsters became the enforcers of the city, they established the rules and strictly followed them.
With the rapid prosperity of Rose Vegas, it attracted more and more people who came here to settle, work, and find a dream of making a fortune. There are also many people who come here to see the gangs, to see a city built and managed by the gangs.
In the seventies, it reached its peak and became a mecca for gangsters, money bags, and at the same time attracted the attention of the tax department. In Bald Eagle, the most terrible thing is not the FBI, nor the CIA, nor the military, but the tax office.
When Jimmy Hoffa used the Teamsters' Association funds to build Caesar's Palace, the tax department finally found an excuse to intervene, and although Hoffa was immediately killed by Anthony and his body was cemented in the foundations of the Fuxing Building at GM's headquarters, it was too late.
Bald Eagle has consumed the most people in history, and the longest-lasting tax crime liquidation work has begun, and the tax bureau and FBI have entered the city in large numbers, so the city firmly controlled by the gangsters has been torn open.
The billionaire Howade Hughes took the opportunity to enter here.
The world's greatest womanizer, the prototype of Iron Man, Hepburn's live-in boyfriend, once had 164 girls in the Los Angeles shirt. His bed was Gingill Rogers, Betty Davis, Jane Simmons, Susan Hayward, Jean Tierney, Rita Hayworth, Marianne Marsh, Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, and Jane Peters. It is said that only Joan Fontaine and Elizabeth Taylor did not take the bait.
He used a variety of tactics to buy most of the casino buildings and became the new winner of Las Vegas.
However, because of Hughes's entry, it caused dissatisfaction among the gangsters. At that time, in order to conceal their identities, the gangsters only controlled the actual operation of casinos and casinos, and the real estate and management rights were generally arranged for the scarecrows, and it was these scarecrows who realized Hughes's dream of controlling the place. Thus, assassinations, robberies, extortion, theft came to the city again.
A scarecrow is a person who has a clean background, a clean resume, and has nothing to do with the gang on the surface.
In order to achieve the goal of controlling the management rights, the gang led by Brother Zhi once again showed its fangs and sent out the brutal Tony, whose task is to take care of all the cash in the casino and make a profit.
This guy has an honest look, but he has brought bloody rain to Lace Vegas.
He organized assassination companies, organized legions of thieves, organized robberies, instructed to kill those who disobeyed.
He controlled Rose Vegas for fourteen years, and the gangsters once again became the masters of the city, and even Hughes had to sell the property here.
However, after achieving his goal of regaining control, Tony did not stop and went even further, even arranging a theft team at the hotel he controlled and starting to sell drugs.
During the period between Hughes and Tony, the city became more prosperous, the city area expanded several times, and a large number of people poured into this drunken gold rush city in search of opportunities to make a fortune, and large and small businesses were established. These people have become Tony's targets, stealing if they can, robbing if they can't, even if they build a well-defended vault.
Tony was completely inflated, and the FBI and the tax office arranged for a large number of people to investigate him, monitor him and the behavior of those around him, plot against his subordinates, and arrange a trial against him. This touched the nerves of the big guy behind Tony, who buried him alive before he appeared in court.
But the F.B.I. and the IRS have also had a wealth of evidence that forced the gang to go underground and lose most of its profits.
The entire history of Lash Vegas is a history of the ups and downs of the Western gangsters.
"Now the government is the biggest, the Gaming Authority controls everything, they're going to put the casinos in the hands of people they trust, and the gangsters don't have a license to operate. Therefore, the people who are now benefiting here regard this place as very important, and do not touch him easily. We East Coast companies are not strong here, the West Coast people control everything, Blank and Tony. ”
Joseph was more like a dying old man at this moment, nagging to Shami, which could also be said to be a kind of guidance.
Shami asked, "Is it okay if I buy the casino? I mean, can I buy a few casinos and avoid a head-to-head deal with them." ”
Joseph smiled and said, "Your ideal is not ordinary, son, Brushed Vegas is not the same as it used to be, it used to be said that gold mines were found here, which attracted a lot of cowboys." Now, it's a gold mine in its own right, and believe me, the dollars we need to pay are not something we can afford. ”
Shami said, "Or, I can think of a way. ”
Joseph said, "Shami, don't be in a hurry, what you have to do now is to negotiate a result with the families on the east coast, you can first enter the house or other realms, pick up the things in front of you and put them in your pockets before thinking about those distant things." I'm bullish on this collaboration, so it's nice to see you go about it. ”
Shami nodded and said, "Yes, I will, and I will consider and negotiate from the perspective of the two families of Gambino and Poiano, and in the end I will definitely not disappoint you Joseph." ”
Joseph shook his head and said, "I have left Boiano, I can only decide what I have in my hands, I can't decide anything on the other side, you have to talk about it yourself, what you can talk about is also your effort, I will not object, and I will not want to influence him." ”
"If anyone is against cooperation or does anything that affects this cooperation, I will kill him, Joseph, I just need you to know that I don't have any conspiracy against Poiano, I am just trying to complete the plan, a plan that will make us prosperous," Shami said. ”
Joseph lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Go do it, child, I have never returned to that sad city since I was kidnapped by my dear nephew and handed over the power of the family." ”
