Blackstone Code

~: one thousand nine hundred and eighty-two

Lynch circled a very large area in the urban planning center of Slem.

The mayor of Slem City has no objection to this.

He even handed over the planning plan directly to Lynch, and Lynch can play as he pleases.

For them, the few years in Nagalil were just a springboard to find a better place to do it later.

They are not like mayors and governors in some parts of the federal mainland, who intend to sit in that position for the rest of their lives.

They have no intention of working in this ghost place for 20 or 30 years, and they may even spend their entire lives here.

As long as Lynch's investment can be implemented, this will be a political achievement that no one can erase for the mayor. In the future, whether he enters Congress or continues to improve the government, it will be beneficial!

For the construction of this part of the building, Lynch used his own construction team. These guys used to do military fortifications for the Ministry of National Defense, and they would never cut corners.

"I want to build a comprehensive and huge casino here, and this part is the arena."

Lynch pointed to the finished model and introduced his project to businessmen from all over the world.

In his budget, the entire project is complete, including supporting projects, and the cost of the entire project is about 2.5 billion.

He took out 1.5 billion, and then raised 1 billion from the outside world to establish a "Light of the World Entertainment Group", a large and comprehensive group company.

Business content includes hotels, tourism, casinos, performances, etc.

A giant in the entertainment industry!

These investors from all over the world are sitting here honestly, listening to Lynch show the blueprint in his mind.

At this time, someone asked a question, "Mr. Lynch, are the gladiatorial fights in the arena for performances, or..."

Lynch directly raised his hand to interrupt him, "Of course it's a real gladiatorial fight, otherwise I wouldn't have needed to build such a big arena!"

The man asked again, "If it's a real wrestling, will there be any legal problems?"

At this moment, Lynch looked at the professor, who stood up and expressed his identity.

The president of the state senate, the second-in-command to the governor, has said enough.

"For this gentleman's consideration, there is actually no need to worry at all."

"The three new special states we built this time were commissioned by the new federal government of Nagalil for construction and development. We will respect and abide by the local laws of the new federal government of Nagalil."

"In Nagalil, both gladiatorial and duel are protected by law."

"So you don't have to worry..."

After the professor sat down, a small group of people became short of breath.

Lynch knew them, and these people ran some gambling companies.

Gambling is a legal business in the federal government, but there is a prerequisite, that is, there must be a license issued by the federal government.

Casinos, gaming, these are invisible industries.

No one cares about how much tax a casino has to pay for a year. They only care about whether they can leave with more money after entering the casino.

In the past year, federal gambling and gaming tax returns exceeded 1.1 billion. This was due to the war, and the overall consumer population shrank.

In the best years, before the Great Depression, the annual tax returns of the gambling industry were more than three billion!

Of course, gambling, gambling, is a special industry in the Federation, and special taxes are charged, at most 90% of the tax is levied!

But even so, this group of people is still rich!

And now, their eyes are on Lynch's new project.

In fact, some underground casinos also have boxing games, but Lynch obviously played it bigger and more openly!

what does that mean?

This means that they have participated and can accept bets from all over the world!

This **** can make all the money in the world!

So when the professor explained to them that the law of Nagalil allowed Lynch to do so, these people immediately expressed their strong investment intentions!

"Mr. Lynch!"

A middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties stood up, "Let us pay the remaining one billion."

As soon as this guy's words came out, the audience was in an uproar!

Lynch's investment of 1.5 billion was not a one-time investment, but even so, it was enough to shock the world!

There are really not many people who can spend 1.5 billion these days. Even if it is a large consortium, not the top, it is difficult to spend so much.

It is possible for the bank, but will the bank invest so much at once?

More people still think that in the end, multiple shareholders will jointly complete the investment. There are dozens, or even hundreds of them!

Before they have time to figure out how much money they want to invest, someone here wants to cover it all.

This also makes people immediately realize the value that exists in this project.

All of a sudden the whole meeting scene became chaotic, everyone was expressing their views, Lynch didn't answer them, just watched patiently.

After a while, when they also realized that such arguing was meaningless, they all stopped immediately.

Lynch smiled and raised his hand to press, "Everyone sit down."

"I would of course welcome any ladies and gentlemen who would like to invest in the Central Casino."

"But I must tell you the planning direction of the entire city, otherwise this is fraud!"

"First of all, this casino is not the only casino in Slem."

"My plan is to build a more complete, differentiated casino precinct around the Slem Central Casino."

"This place will be built as the center of the world's gambling games, where anyone can find the game methods and happiness they want."

"Secondly, we all know that casinos are a special operation, so here, we still adopt the federal operation method and invest in the form of issuing licenses."

"Those who freely operate the casino business need to obtain a "Casino Business License"..."

He picked up a license, showed it to everyone, and projected it on the screen.

"Individuals or organizations with a license can establish and operate casinos in Slem and designated cities in the state."

"The license is a lifelong system. As long as the holder does not die, the license will always be valid."

"However, in addition to the normal tax payment every year, one thousandth of the total turnover needs to be paid to the state government as a management fee."

"After the holder dies, the license will be renewed in accordance with the will and inheritance laws."

"There are currently nine licenses that will be issued in the state, one of which is already in my possession, and that's what we're going to talk about next."

"Auctions and investments."

"Of course the auction is to buy a license. After all, only with this thing can we legally operate a casino."

"As for how much money can be auctioned, I actually don't know. It may be very cheap, because I know that some people are not optimistic about our plan."

"It could be high, there's always someone who understands what a worldwide casino stands for!"

He paused as he spoke, and the expressions of many people also changed, especially those sitting in the last row and in the middle.

These people in the last row are big names in the federal underground world, and they come from the largest criminal group in the federation.

They themselves have opened a lot of underground casinos, both legal and illegal.

And sitting in the middle, there are quite a few bankers from the Federation and the world. They know more about the operation of capital and wealth than others!

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the casino is a good place to launder money!

At present, the money laundering fee of federal underground banks has exceeded 55%, which means that one million black money passed through these underground banks, and only 450,000 will be left after laundering.

This is still the market price, sometimes less.

Because of the entry of international hot money and the federal government's requirement that the Federal Bank deepen and increase the monitoring of fund flows in anonymous accounts and overseas accounts, the cost of money laundering has become even greater.

In the past, the money might have been circulated from the country to foreign countries, and it would be clean if you just found a reason to pay taxes and then enter the federation in the name of investment or the like.

But now the circulation is monitored, and overseas entry needs to be declared, which will increase a lot of procedures ~lightnovelpub.net~ and also become easier to be discovered.

But if the money flows into Slem and then flows back, the risks and costs will be reduced, and the income of these underground banks will increase during the money laundering process!

There are tens of billions of dollars of money that needs to be laundered every year around the world, and this is big business!

Rather than handing these over to unsafe casino operators to clean them up, it is more appropriate to run a casino to clean them up!

No matter legal or illegal, on the ground or underground, at this moment, my heart is moved.

Lynch glanced at the professor, and the professor's eyes changed. Apart from admiration, she couldn't find any words to describe her emotional change towards Lynch!

Lynch told her and Catherine that, except for this license in her own hand, when the other eight could sell at least two billion, they didn't believe it.

After all, everyone knows that the federal natives in the protected area can apply for a restricted low-tax license for free, and they can help with only tens of thousands of dollars. Why do people spend so much money to invest in Slem?

But at this time, the fanaticism of these people has verified Lynch's inference.

As the voice of discussion gradually disappeared, everyone seemed to have an idea.

Lynch continued, "The remaining investment in my casino will be recruited after the photo auction is over."

"But I hope everyone can understand one thing, the investment ratio is not equal to the share ratio."

He paused as he spoke, he had to give these people some time to think, and then continued to introduce his casino.

Slem is not too far from the coastline, and he plans to build a small port to take guests over.

At the same time, he also told everyone that in Nagalil, recruitment is protected by law.

Some transactions that are prohibited in the Federation are all legal here!
