Chapter 589: Changes

From Lan Si's perspective, the operating style of Jincheng Casino was still a bit too conservative.

Of course, this couldn't be blamed on Bandi for not having the ability. Now some states still recognize gambling as an illegal act, so they might be slightly conservative in propaganda.

For someone who wants to wash white, he doesn't necessarily have to do it very excellently, but he definitely cannot offend too many people.

But from Lan Si's perspective as a modern person, these operating strategies appear too conservative, and at the same time, they haven't made good use of the conflict of the Federation's local laws.

To put it simply, how to better attract those gamblers in areas where gambling is illegal to Jincheng is the key.

If they are just allowed to come here to gamble, they might not be willing to do so. The reason is very simple.

Since they are gamblers, they must have small groups in the local area who can participate in gambling games with them. They can gamble in the local area, and they don't need to go to Jincheng to gamble.

Simple gambling lacks attraction to them, so more content needs to be added, things that are more attractive.

For example, treating coming here to play as a "compensation behavior for family affection," bringing family members here to travel, and playing a few hands by the way.

"A few hands" is not a noun, nor does it represent any actual thing.

This can give the gambler a feeling... although they gambled, they also did a good thing for the family.

This kind of operating strategy seems to have no use, but in fact, it is because those who think it has no use are not real gamblers.

Real gamblers actually have guilt toward their family and family members in their hearts. This is an opportunity that can both make up for their guilt toward the family and enjoy more trendy ways to play.

Lan Si simply talked about his plans for the subsequent changes, including considering building a large water park, and rebuilding the "Palace Casino," a super-luxury integrated casino with more Lan Si characteristics and style.

The Governor listened very carefully. This not only represents his interests but also represents political achievements.

If Congressman Williams and Lan Si develop well in Jincheng, then they can provide more tax revenue, allowing the state government to have independent decision-making power on more decisions.

Instead of relying on federal financial appropriations and looking at Congress's face, if they have money themselves, they can decide for themselves.

He thinks Lan Si's ideas are very good.

"And, Governor..."

"You can call me Dylan."

Dylan is the Governor's name. It is said that his ancestors also appeared in that photo!

Saying this is a manifestation of closeness. Lan Si's performance won his recognition, which made their relationship closer.

Sometimes Americans are indeed very formulaic, which also mistakenly makes many foreigners think that they have always been mutually respectful and not closer in official business.

In fact, that is just because people who think so haven't gotten familiar with Americans. If they get familiar, they will find that it is actually no different from their country, and even worse.

"Mr. Dylan!" Lan Si corrected the address. At this time, there is no need for excessive humility. Addressing him as he said is essentially a recognition of each other's relationship.

Of course, he added a general honorific, at least making him look not really on an equal footing with the Governor.

"The development of Jincheng can promote the development of tourism in the surrounding areas. The film industry in Creek City is developing very well now."

"People who come to Jincheng will also be willing to go to Creek City to turn around, if there is enough propaganda."

"Will they want to try hunting, will they want to try some performances, even if their shots won't appear in the cinema?"

"They have seen the beautiful Creek City and Jincheng. Will they be more interested in surrounding cities, thereby embarking on a new journey?"

"I think this is very possible, and very likely!"

"Americans are full of the spirit of adventure and curiosity. They will leave more consumption here before leaving."

The Governor looked at Lan Si with some surprise. He didn't expect Lan Si to be able to say such words and have such insights.

At this moment, Lan Si is more like a politician, not a gang leader.

And those ideas he said are indeed very likely to be realized.

"Your ideas are great. I believe Mr. Williams can cooperate with you."

Congressman Williams also looked at Lan Si with some surprise, then nodded, "Indeed very good, these ideas are full of agile creativity!"

The purpose of Lan Si saying so much is actually to want that large piece of land to build his "Palace," and it is placed behind the beach area. There is still a large area of open space there, and it connects to the beach area and the long beach in the Bay Area.

Whether it is building a water park or building a new casino next to it, there are infinite possibilities, and it can continue to expand outward.

This is a big project, but it will definitely not have a long construction period.

"Federal speed" is shocking the world. The world-class buildings in New Gold City only took an average of more than a year. The difficulty of the new casino project won't be greater than those buildings, only lower.

In the situation where Jincheng is not short of labor, it will be completed at a fast speed, including water parks and the like.

Only by persuading the Governor will Congressman Williams' approval of this plan be faster.

Several people came to the hitting point. The first to hit was Congressman Williams. He is old, so he can't use too much force to hit the ball, and naturally, it is impossible to hit it very far.

When he was hitting the ball, Lan Si and the Governor were still chatting on the side about some problems and things in Jincheng.

As the hitting ended, the three continued to walk forward.

While walking, the Governor said, "Some of Lan Si's words just now gave me some inspiration. I will support your work!"

He paused while saying this, then took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lan Si, "The list is on this. If you have any objections, you can contact me at any time."

"Now, let's finish this game!" He came to his landing point, took a golf club from James, spread his legs, looked at the green in the distance, and swung the club fiercely!

After handling the Governor, the remaining people were very easy to handle. That evening, Lan Si made an appointment with Attorney General Terry to meet.

Compared to the previous two people, Attorney General Terry's attitude was more enthusiastic. After all, his purpose was not just to divide that money, but also the congressional circle behind these two people.

He didn't give Lan Si or Congressman Williams any test, and simply handed the list to them, "If you need to tick off anyone, tell me first."

"I'll make arrangements again." He slightly increased his tone. If he didn't emphasize this matter, it is possible that they would tick off and that would be it. In this way, he could have inserted one more person to get benefits from it, but lost this benefit, which is not cost-effective.

Lan Si took the list and scanned it simply, then didn't put it in his pocket, but placed it on the table.

This action was a bit special. Does it mean he seems to have some dissatisfaction with this list?

"What's wrong?" Attorney General Terry asked.

He realized that Lan Si might have some extra "transactions" with him, so he asked.

However, he couldn't ask too directly, so he could only frown and pretend to be stupid, "Is someone not suitable?"

It seems he didn't shake his head or nod, just placed the list on the table, "A friend of mine met me at the hotel yesterday."

"He is a businessman, and he talked to me about some problems he encountered in Manton. His legitimate business was made difficult."

Who Lan Si met yesterday is not a secret. From the moment they arrived in Manton, countless eyes have been staring at them.

Yesterday he met the leader of a local gang, an Imperial immigrant.

Some people at the bottom of society firmly believe that Lan Si is an illegal immigrant who changed his identity, but for those at the top, they firmly believe that Lan Si is an American!

He must just be friends with these people!

After Attorney General Terry gave himself a statement, he thought about it and gave Lan Si a number, "You can call him and let him help you solve this matter."

Lan Si nodded, and put the list into his pocket. Attorney General Terry's face revealed some smiles.

The slightly tense atmosphere just now suddenly became relaxed. "You did a beautiful job this time, Lan Si. Even though I am in Manton, I know that you have done everything without making any mistakes."

"I hope the people I arranged helped you!" He was hinting, hinting that he also had credit in Lan Si handling the Bandi family.

Congressman Williams had been sitting quietly on the side. He didn't speak.

The Governor and Deputy Governor were all contacted by him directly or indirectly, so he had to occupy a relatively main position.

But here at Attorney General Terry, it was contacted by Lan Si himself, so he wasn't very suitable to become the one leading the topic here.

Lan Si could naturally taste Attorney General Terry's meaning. He nodded, "You are not the first person to praise me like this."

"At the end of the year, I will go to New Gold City. If that side doesn't mind me bringing someone over..."

Attorney General Terry revealed more smiles on his face. He moved his butt and leaned closer to Lan Si, "You are too polite, Lan Si. Actually, I didn't mean that..."

He looked at Lan Si's teasing eyes, and then couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, then should I thank you?"

"You are welcome!" Lan Si directly exempted his process of thanking, which also made Attorney General Terry not feel any discomfort.

【Author's note: Content is being checked!】

For a third-ranking official in the state government to say "thank you" to a gang leader from a city below him—even if he could bring himself to say it, he would certainly feel a bit awkward or uncomfortable inside.

But now Lan Si directly exempted this process, so not only did he not have any dissatisfaction with Lan Si, but he liked him even more.

After separating from Attorney General Terry, Congressman Williams reminded Lan Si, "The matter of New Gold City you mentioned, does it refer to the gathering on the Senator's side?"

Congressman Williams will soon become mayor, and he also has the qualifications to participate in such gatherings, but he is also a marginal role.

Lan Si didn't deny it and nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"

He said cautiously, "Will this be too rash?"

"Bringing someone who doesn't belong to that circle over?"

He was considering for Lan Si. He was afraid that Lan Si would be too reckless to bring Attorney General Terry over like this.

Just like a small character in his own family who isn't very eye-catching, bringing a stranger over during the New Year and saying he wants to join his circle, he would also feel annoyed and dislike it.

Considering more for Lan Si is actually considering for himself. He has to partner with Lan Si for a considerable period of time, so Lan Si's stability is also his stability.

If Senator Cleveland produces an annoying emotion toward him because he brought people to New Gold City randomly, then Congressman Williams will also be affected.

Lan Si said thank you with a smile, "I know what you mean, but you don't have to worry too much. Before going, I will figure it out first."

"And I think this matter is not reckless."

"Whether it can be accepted doesn't depend on what impact the appearance of me or Terry will have on the Senator."

"But it depends on how much money I can provide them in the second half of the year!"

Congressman Williams pondered Lan Si's words and nodded, no longer discussing.

He was right. Lan Si is even more important than him, the future mayor, at this stage!

Just a mayor. In that political circle of the Senator, how many mayors want to lean over?

Adding one mayor or losing one mayor won't change the changes in Senator Cleveland's circle.

But Lan Si is different. Although he cannot provide any specific political help, he can provide a large amount of money.

And these monies, through their magical means, can quickly and well turn into political help!

When Congressman Williams is not enough in weight, money is obviously more important!

Congressman Williams, who figured this out, no longer discussed whether Lan Si doing this was appropriate. As long as he pays extra money, everything he does is appropriate.

If he cannot complete the interest transfer plan, then no matter how careful and cautious he is, he will annoy the Senator for any reason.

Thinking of this, he ended the topic.

The conversation with Attorney General Terry was also successfully completed, and then it was the Secretary of State, and more people!

These people don't need to choose a separate day, meet them in a high-end private occasion.

Of course, if they have already booked it, there is no problem.

Lan Si and Congressman Williams met and talked one after another.

Quite a few people got promises from them, and everything will be according to the past regulations and list.

But some people were rejected. They were abandoned in the old era the moment the new era set sail.

They didn't make trouble, because when there was no wave from the Governor's side, they knew that the Governor also supported them.

During this period, Lan Si also met the local police chief, who didn't show any... unruly appearance as Luo De said.

It was clearly very easy to get along with, and there was no one with airs, just like Charlie, the Bay Area hound, seeing his masters in the Bay Area.

If it was a week ago, maybe not many people in Manton had heard of Lan Si.

Then now, almost everyone in Manton has heard of Lan Si, and officials of his level, who are relatively slightly higher, also know what happened recently.

He is just a police chief. In the eyes of those at the bottom of society, he might be a great person.

But when he is raised to a higher height, the eyes of the big figures looking at him are no different from his eyes looking at those mud-legged people!

So when someone called and said that Mr. Lan Si invited him to meet, he ran over happily, and then saw a familiar person beside Lan Si, Luo De.

At this moment, as the police chief who deals with the upper and lower levels the most, how could he not know what happened?

If he were really stupid enough to not realize anything, then he couldn't have sat in such a position.

Soon, under Lan Si's matchmaking, he and Luo De became good friends, and indicated that as long as he was still the police chief, no one would discriminate against Luo De and his company.

At the same time, he also hoped that Luo De could contribute a share of Luo De's power for the city's public security and stability together with him!

What noble sentiment this is, even after work, they are still discussing work matters.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why the Federation is more advanced than other countries. They always humbly and virtuously complete every task seriously, even after work!

After this matter ended, Lan Si believed that Luo De and his gang would soon be able to develop rapidly.

The original plan was to stay in Manton for a week, but it eventually exceeded the plan.

Too many people wanted to meet Lan Si and Congressman Williams. After all, this is related to their interest problems in the next four to eight years.

Those who were kicked off the list were also desperately trying to find ways to return to the list—losing their position on the list not only meant they couldn't get money, but also meant they had been abandoned by the Likalai State political group.

During this period, there was no stupid move like "angrily scolding Lan Si for not knowing what's good for him" and then "one day will make Lan Si pay for it." When those people knew they couldn't return to the list, they could only leave dejectedly in the end.

They stayed for nearly two weeks before returning to Jincheng from Manton.

This trip was very important, reconstructing the blood transfusion situation of one of the interest arteries of Likalai State.

For the next period of time, it was a calm and peaceful time. Although the Hazardous Materials Administration was still a bit annoying, overall, it was very calm.

Almost all areas of the entire city canceled various regulatory fees and turned them into management fees for Lan Si's company. Even that stubborn old man Anderson honestly handed over the money.

At the end of June, the Republic of Dantela raised a serious protest to the Federation, protesting their stationing of troops in Jincheng, believing that this was a sign that the Federation intended to interfere in the Tanfeite Continent war through force.

And indicated to the Federation that if they insisted on stationing the naval fleet in Jincheng, they would not rule out unilaterally identifying the Federation's behavior as declaring war on them.

For a time, some news that happened in Jincheng was suppressed by this international news again. Everyone was discussing it!
