When Liu Wei returned to Las Vegas, the flight taken by the grayback jackal had already taken off. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because there were some things related to the casino that Liu Wei needed to deal with, he didn't return to Reno, but just asked Zhou Yulong to return to Reno with Tony, Isaac and the hacker named Yankesky, and asked Dian Bin to arrange a hiding place for them, and not to come out for activities in the near future.
The so-called casino matter, that is, the purchase of the casinos under the names of eleven gambling tycoons after they were killed.
This matter has always been done by Zhou Fen, and Mobei Wolf only does some miscellaneous things.
"Agreements have been reached with eight families to buy 51 percent of the shares at a very low price, which will be fully run by us."
"And what about the other three families?"
"We're talking, but it's coming soon." Zhou Fen smiled and said, "The old wolf is very hard-working, it just takes some time, after all, no one can refuse the price we offered." ā
"That couldn't be better, is things taken care of on Scott's side?" Liu Wei picked up the cigar.
"Just sent the money yesterday and donated a million dollars in the name of little Capua, as you requested. He asked me to bring you a message to visit Lake Walker Manor. ā
"What is that place?"
"One of the Republican meeting places, the celebrities of the Republican Party often come by, and they also hold regular banquets every month to strengthen intra-party exchanges."
"You want to pull me into the Republican Party?"
"You don't have that until you get your green card."
Liu Wei smiled, he didn't have much interest in political things.
"But you do have to go, and it would be good to get to know some political leaders, and it would be nice to get to know a couple of Republican senators over there."
"We'll talk about that later."
Zhou Fen frowned, not knowing what Liu Wei was thinking.
"You can't let me go empty-handed, can you?" Liu Wei took two puffs of his cigar and said, "After the matter is dealt with here, you go to Reno." ā
"Who's going to run the casino?"
"Do you have the right person?"
Zhou Fen shook his head, if there was a suitable person, he would have gone to Reno to take charge of the preparation of the nightclub a long time ago.
"Let the old wolf keep an eye on it, I'll discuss it with Long Minjiang and see if there are any suitable managers on his side."
"Okay, I'll be there in two days." Zhou Fen was about to get up, only then did he remember one more thing. Liu Qing called back, and Yumi passed the entrance exam, which is still the third place this year. School is going to start next week, and when I heard that the Queen of England was going to attend, she asked if you wanted to go. ā
"The Queen of England?"
"Rodin Girls' School is very famous in the UK, and every year the opening ceremony is attended by members of the royal family, either the queen or the prince or the prince."
"So powerful?"
Zhou Fen smiled and said, "If there are royal family members from other countries enrolled, it will be even more lively." ā
"In that case, it's really necessary to go over and join in the fun." Liu Wei took two puffs of his cigar, "What kind of title is that, is there a fall?" ā
"I'm still inquiring, but a lot of things won't be said until you pass, and I can't tell you now."
"Lao Zhou, if you get us a knighthood or something, the Yankees should be more polite, right?"
"Of course, Britain and the United States are hardcore allies, and the knighthood issued by the British royal family is not only a business card for entering the upper class, but also a protective umbrella, otherwise your eldest sister Bao would not be enthusiastic about this matter."
"How much would it cost to get one for each of us?"
"That's a lot, and I can't afford it. Besides, there's no need for that. We'll do things with you, as long as you have a title. ā
"In that case, how much will it cost?"
"It won't go anywhere, but in addition to money, you have to have other preparations."
"What do you mean?"
"The British political axe has decided to cut the royal family's expenses, the British royal family is indeed short of money, and it does intend to sell the title, but there are definitely many competitors. This matter has already spread, there are more than a dozen rich people in the United States who plan to add a knighthood in front of their names, and there are also many rich people in Britain and Europe who are excited, counting the members of the British Commonwealth, I am afraid that hundreds of people are willing to spend money to buy knighthoods, and the first batch of knighthoods sold will not exceed five. ā
"So intense?"
"You know Soros, right?"
Liu Wei nodded, who hasn't heard of the financial predators?
"After this guy washed his hands of gold, he planned to find something to do, and I heard that in order to obtain the title of the British royal family, he not only offered a sky-high price of one billion dollars, but also went around through Jewish organizations, and basically made a decision. In addition to him, in recent years, he has frequently appeared in my country, and Rogers, who is as famous as him in the field of financial investment, Tata, an Indian car king, and Kelson, a British real estate king, are all ready to buy knighthoods. ā
"They're settled, too?"
"Pretty much, these four guys are not short of money, and they are very well-known in the UK and internationally. The British royal family is auctioning the title publicly for the first time, so it is natural to find some weighty customers. ā
"Then there's only one spot left."
"This place is not safe, if another rich man is killed......"
Liu Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Compared with those rich people, we are not only poor, but also not very famous, and the odds of winning are definitely not big." ā
"So we'll have to figure out something else."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you seen the movie a few years ago about George VI, who is now the father of the Queen of England?"
Liu Wei shook his head, he had no interest in the movie at all.
"George VI had a severe stutter, and he came to the throne during World War II, in order to boost the morale of the military and civilians, he had to give frequent public speeches, and the Australian who accompanied him and cured his stuttering disease was finally knighted by the British royal family."
"In other words, as long as you make a significant contribution to the royal family, you can also get a knighthood."
Zhou Fen nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
"The problem is, there is no world war now, so we can't start a war because of this. Besides, neither the Queen of England nor the Prince of Wales has a stutter. ā
"There's always something else."
"For example......"
"More than 20 years ago, an American named Wren was traveling in England when he happened to encounter the Prince's vehicle being attacked by the Irish Republican Army, saving the Prince's family, and thus receiving a knighthood. This guy still lives in the UK and works for the CIA. ā
"The IRA has long since been disbanded."
"There will always be other threats."
"It's too risky." Liu Wei shook his head and said, "Besides, if the old trick is repeated, it will be too contrived, and it will be self-defeating if it is not good." ā
"There are still some times in this matter, you might as well go to the UK to find Liu Qing and discuss with her."
Liu Wei looked at Zhou Fen, he didn't plan to leave the United States immediately.
"After Rickell's murder, the C.I.A. and the F.B.I. will definitely put the United States on full swing and focus on spying on foreigners. Although the old jackal is gone, we need to keep a low profile, and it's better not to be in the limelight. It's not a bad thing that you go to England for a while and get out of the limelight. ā
"I'm going to England, can you see the old wolf?"
"Him?" Zhou Fen laughed and said, "After a disaster, he is much more honest." Besides, there are a lot of things going on in the casino, and he still has to consolidate the ground he has just won. Wait for Dianbin to settle Isaac and set up the processing plant, and let him do more. ā
"But you have to go to Reno."
"Don't worry, he's only thinking about it now, and he won't care about anything else. By the time he's scraped together a billion dollars, you'll almost be back from England. ā
"Okay, you can arrange it for me."
"When are you going to leave?"
"The next time Komatsu Kawano comes back, we'll go to England. Let Batavia go over and stare at Hebberline. If that guy is not honest, just get rid of him. ā
Zhou Fen nodded, didn't say anything more, got up and said goodbye and left.
Liu Wei finished smoking his cigar before opening the account book brought by Zhou Fen.
The casino is doing well, with more than $1 million coming in every day, a 50 percent increase from when Capua was in business. It's not all the credit of Zhou Fen, many gamblers are coming for the "gold medal gambling king". It's a pity that no gambler has passed Zhou Fen's level so far.
After taking over the casinos of the other 12 gambling tycoons, the scale of operation will be even larger, and the income will also increase dramatically.
It's a pity that in addition to Betola's casino, the other eleven casinos are not doing well, and they are all a bit bleak due to the murder of the gambling tycoon.
That's fine, at least the heirs of the gambling tycoons won't take the risk.
Compared with casinos, Mobei Wolf's business is bigger.
After monopolizing the drug market in Las Vegas, daily shipments nearly tripled, and prices rose from $400 to $600. In order to consolidate his monopoly position, Mobei Wolf also eliminated drug dealers in several small surrounding towns, so that Las Vegas addicts could only get drugs from him.
It's just that the money made now is not very much, because part of it has to be handed over to Harris.
In addition, it costs a lot to develop markets and set up new sales points, and Mobei Wolf also has to pay salaries to more than 100 mercenaries.
The important surnames of Isaac and Hebling are reflected.
As long as processing plants are open, methamphetamine-mixed cocaine flows into the market, and addicts get used to new flavors, Harris's goods will not be attractive.
Liu Wei roughly calculated, if it is really going to be rolled out, Mobei Wolf's daily income here will not be less than 10 million US dollars.
If you include Reno, as well as other cities in Nevada, it's about $20 million.
In less than two months, Mobei Wolf will be able to scrape together the billion dollars needed to rebuild.
It's just that this speed of making money still makes Liu Wei feel unsatisfied, because there are too many places to spend money. Reno's nightclubs and casino complexes, the highway from Las Vegas to Reno, the amusement park at Lake Pilamed, and more all require a lot of money.
If you continue to develop step by step, you will definitely not make enough money.
After flipping through the account book, Liu Wei called Zhou Yulong and asked him to come over as soon as possible.
The best way to make money is still drugs, and if you continue to expand the market, you have to kill Harris. Although Liu Wei doesn't know much about Harris's relationship with the CIA, as long as he serves the CIA, he is Rickel's subordinate. Rickel is finished, and there's no need to keep this guy in the way.
