The Tyrant Billionaire

Chapter 30: Benjamin Siegel’s Assistant

"Mr. Siegel, what do you need me to do?" Hardy asked.

Siegel smiled.

"Specially help me make money. The income from your future work will not go through the accounts of the Austrian Gang. We will still divide it by 30–70. I will take 30%, and 70% will go to your team."

Strictly speaking, the Austrian Gang does not belong to Siegel, but it is a branch of the Italian Mafia. Most of the money earned by the Austrian gang is handed over to the Mafia organization, and Siegel can only receive part of it.

If the money earned by Hardy is directly handed over to Siegel, just like the share of the last time he robbed the Spanish casino, Siegel will have full rights to handle the money, or it will go directly into his personal pocket.

It's like poaching the mafia's corner, but that didn't really make any difference to Hardy.

"Second, be my film company assistant and help me handle some things. I am investing in Las Vegas. I have purchased thirty acres of land and am preparing to build a multi functional and ultra luxury casino. It will take most of my time to supervise it. I still have a film company in Los Angeles, I won't be able to take care of it while i am in Las Vegas. You can be my assistant and help me with the company affairs."

"Of course, the company has dedicated managers and department heads for normal business. You just need to be responsible for it. It's okay for you to just supervise. It doesn't matter if you don't have professional knowledge about filming. I just don't want anyone to deceive me and do whatever they want while i am not around"

In fact, when Siegel bought a film company, he seldom managed it. He just wanted to have a reasonable position to enter the upper class. Just identity, and the film company owner is a perfect fit.

"Third, the construction of the casino will take about one and a half to two years. After it is completed, there will be a need for manpower to maintain order. At that time, I plan to take you to Las Vegas and bring your team. Form a new gang in Vegas, and you will be the underground boss of Las Vegas!"

This third item is a big cake, a beautiful blueprint, after listening to Siegel's words, countless thoughts flashed through Hardy's mind.

Siegel's proposal does no harm to himself.

Siegel must have taken a fancy to his own talents.

After becoming Siegel's direct subordinate, his status will also be greatly improved.

Al Capone, the underground king of Chicago, also started as an assistant. When Johnny Torrio retired, he became the controller of Chicago.

Hardy just thought for a few seconds, then looked up at Siegel.

"Mr. Siegel, I am willing to work for you."

Hardy said it firmly.

"Hahaha~ Very good; I dare say, Hardy, this is definitely a very correct decision." Siegel was very happy to hear Hardy's answer.

"Tomorrow I will take you to the film company to meet the person in charge there. Now I will take you to meet a few people, all of whom are my friends, in the future, you may need to meet them for matters related to the film company."

Siegel led Hardy and came to the lobby. There was a carnival going on here. People were chatting, laughing, and having fun together. It was completely like a high end nightclub.

Siegel led Hardy to a few middle aged men in suits and ties and said to them, "Let me introduce to you my new assistant, Jon Hardy, a very good young man."

"Well, let me introduce you, this is my old friend Louis Meyer, the boss of MGM," Siegel said.

Hardy was slightly shocked.

He didn't remember the name Louis Meyer, but he was very familiar with MGM. One of the eight major Hollywood film companies, the LOGO is the big roaring lion. "Gone with the Wind" is their masterpiece, as is the 007 series, "Cats" and Mouse," Tom and Jerry.

Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Joan Crawford, Katharine Hepburn, Greta Garbo, and Elizabeth Taylor are all it's contracted actors.

Later, after Las Vegas became the capital, MGM also invested heavily there and built the MGM Casino, which became one of the top ten casinos in Las Vegas.

Louis Meyer is definitely a mover and shaker in Hollywood.

"This is also my good friend, Jack Warner, one of the heads of Warner Bros. Pictures, who is now in charge of film production and distribution." Siegel introduced.

Good guy, It is one of the eight major film companies.

He had vaguely heard of Jack Warner, the fourth son of Warner Brothers, who later became the helmsman of Warner Brothers.

Louis Meyer and Jack Warner are both Jewish, so it's no wonder they became good friends.

Siegel then introduced several people, all of whom were Hollywood movie company bosses, brokerage company presidents, etc.

Hardy shook hands with these big guys respectfully and received a stack of business cards.

"Okay, Jon, have fun tonight and come back to me tomorrow." Siegel said to Hardy:.

Hardy said goodbye and left to find Marissa in the hall.

Marissa was chatting with a group of beautifully dressed men and women. Marissa had been in the Bunny Nightclub for so long and was very familiar with handling such scenes. Her gaffe just now was because she was surprised to see so many celebrities.

Hardy walked over.

"Marissa, I'm back. Have you met any new friends? What else did you talk about?" Hardy asked with a smile.

Although Marissa didn't show it on the surface, she was still nervous in her heart. It was her first time attending such a high end party, when she saw Hardy coming over she took the initiative to hold his arm.

When several men saw Marissa taking Hardy's arm, their eyes were slightly disappointed. One of the handsome men smiled and said to Hardy,

"We were talking about Miss Marissa. She is bright and beautiful, and she is very suitable for playing some broad roles. Miss Marissa said she is a film and television acting student. Are you also studying acting? Have you ever played any roles?

"I have never played a role, and I am not studying acting." Hardy said it with a smile.

After hearing this, several men's eyes flashed with slight pride.

Judging from his young appearance, and he doesn't seems to be well know yet, so he probably won't achieve much in the future either. He might just be a low level actor. His clothes are well decorated, so he might just be a rich second generation who just came to play.

"Then what do you do? I haven't asked for your name yet," the tall man asked.

"Jon Hardy, Mr. Siegel's assistant." Hardy said.

Several people were shocked.

They know Mr. Siegel's energy; he owns a film company and has very good relations with the bosses of the eight major film companies and the heads of famous Hollywood agency companies.

Hardy was Siegel's assistant, and compared to them, who were just small actors, the difference in their status suddenly widened a lot.

These people changed their faces very quickly, immediately put on bright smiles, and one after another reported their names and wanted to get to know Hardy.

After chatting for a while, Hardy said goodbye to these people.

When no one was around, Marissa took Hardy's arm and said cautiously, "Hardy, this is Mr. Siegel's house. Aren't you afraid of being exposed when you lie?"

"Hhh, who told you that I lied? I am indeed now. Mr. Siegel's film company's assistant, let's take you to meet those big stars," Hardy said, pulling Marissa towards the crowd of Clark Gable.

Marissa immediately became nervous. "Do you really want to go there? I'm worried about being rude."

"Don't you want to say a few words to your idols?"

"Of course i do."

"Then come with me with your chest raised and your head up. Actually, it's no big deal."

Throughout the party, Hardy and Marissa met many celebrities. Regardless of whether they knew each other, they all went up to say hello.

In fact, he has never seen those movies at all, and many people have never even heard of them. Before contacting everyone, Marissa introduces him to who the star is, what works he has acted in, and what awards he has won, and then Learn now and sell later.

After the first sentence brings the relationship closer, the second sentence immediately changes.

I'm Mr. Benjamin Siegel's assistant. I'm here to get to know you. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Everyone who came to tonight's party naturally knew Siegel. Hardy immediately gained recognition from these people when he took on the role of assistant. In just one night, Hardy got to know dozens of Hollywood stars.

Regardless of whether it will be useful in the future, let's get familiar with it first.

The party ended, and Hardy took Marissa to leave.

On the way back, Marissa was still very excited. Meeting so many big Hollywood stars fulfilled her countless fantasies.

Hardy Sent Marissa upstairs.

After the door was closed, Marissa hugged Hardy and whispered in his ear with her red lips, "Hardy, be gentle when tearing my clothes."
