2051
People who are capable should take on more responsibilities.
Just like a strong worker in a factory, he has to do more heavy work.
If you don’t do it and he doesn’t do it, then do you still need to do the job?
Lynch has enough ability and far-sighted vision, so if he doesn't do this job, who can?
Now that the candidate for the chairman has been decided, there is no need to hold another meeting for other matters.
The entire organization is called the "Slem Gambling Industry Council". After all, gambling is a negative or even criminal behavior in many countries, so everyone avoided this word from the beginning.
The committee has a total of one committee chairman, eight committee directors, and thirty committee members.
The selection of key personnel of the committee mainly comes from two parts.
In the first part, the committee chairman and committee directors are always nine, and the nine casinos holding licenses elect one person to the industry committee.

In the second part, 30 ordinary members are composed of 20 members from affiliated organizations of the committee, such as the main person in charge and main leaders of the labor union.
The other ten are "gifts" from the committee. This honor will be awarded to public figures who have made outstanding contributions to urban development or are relatively well-known.
For example, the champions of the major events expected to be held every year, as well as the new gambling gods every year!
The chairman of the committee, like the federal president, is elected every four years, but there are no restrictions on re-election.
As long as the committee members and directors agree, you can be re-elected!
Ordinary committee members are replaced every two years.
Lynch was very detailed when talking about these contents, which also gave people reason to believe that he had actually been preparing for these things for a long time.
There is no need to object to any of Lynch's decisions, and they will not even object for any reason.
The detailed rules were quickly printed into a book. Although Slem had not yet begun to open business to the outside world, the rules had to be established first.
Although everyone supported Lynch's decision on the surface, Lynch knew very well that in their hearts, these people would be somewhat dissatisfied with his decision and the rules he set.
The existence value of industry rules is to restrain unreasonable and disorderly competition, which will inevitably harm the interests of some people.
This cannot be stopped, and there is no need to stop it.
It was already afternoon after the meeting. After rejecting some people's plans to invite him to dinner, he asked someone to pick them up at the port.
Among the people who came this time were representatives from the seven major federal banks, as well as representatives from some world-renowned banks.
Slem will become a huge pool of cash, which is full of temptation for any banker.
You don't even need to think about it, you know that there will be a lot of business here in the future.
Now that part of the construction has been completed, these bankers and major banks will naturally come over.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the seven major banks in the federation, and several international banks have also taken the initiative to come.
The business and capital pool here are so big that everyone who sees it will be jealous.
As it happens, Lynch also needs to use the power of these banks to complete his control of the entire city and industry.
After dinner, Lynch sat with the bankers and bank representatives in a slightly shabby hotel.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Lynch asked everyone to distribute a few "souvenirs" to everyone.
"Is this...a bargaining chip?"
The representative of the Federal Reserve Bank knew Lynch, had cooperated with him in banking business before, and had helped him facilitate the acquisition of other banks' debts related to Gefra, so he was considered an old acquaintance.
At this time, he was holding a heavy chip in his hand, but its sophistication far exceeded most of the chips currently available on the market in the Federation!
Lin Qi nodded, picked up one casually, and played with it in his hand.
"Each chip uses a very special technical process, and it costs a lot."
"Currently, the materials used in each chip are mainly some new materials and silver, and some are gold."
"We have adopted the latest anti-counterfeiting technology. I dare not say that no one can imitate it, but for at least five years, no one will be able to simply manufacture it."
The most dangerous thing in the federal gambling industry is the chip counterfeiters.
In the Federation, regardless of whether it is a large casino or a small casino, except for temporary gambling games in taverns, almost all use chips as gambling game props.
The rules for using chips are very mature and have a large audience.
Just like Joanna participated in a private card game, she also used chips.
Some people have the idea of chips.
Especially for those casinos that use ordinary chips as counting props, the counterfeiters directly steal the chips at first, and then find the supplier of the chips to buy a batch of chips.
They sneaked into the casino, played for a while, exchanged the chips they brought in for cash, and left.
Later, the casino also discovered this situation and began to use customized types of chips, which made it impossible for these thieves to buy chips at cheap prices.
But they still have ways, such as sending samples to some manufacturers that are not profitable.
For capitalists, they don’t care where the chips they produce go. They only care about whether they can make enough profits from this order.
And, do you have any next order?
As the two sides battled wits and courage, everyone kept leveling up.
From simple anti-counterfeiting marks to the processing of special materials, the two sides have been fighting around the chips to this day, and will continue to fight.
The chips Lynch showed them were beautifully crafted, and the most important thing was the complex materials and craftsmanship they used.
Coupled with the cost, which is not cheap, if the counterfeiter wants to successfully imitate it, the cost of each piece will be higher than its face value - when producing on a small scale, the unit price of some products will always be ridiculously high!
In this way, even if someone cracks its material and production process, there is no way to actually forge it in the end.
If they can make it without losing money, then there is no need for them to forge chips.
After hearing what Lynch said, everyone couldn't help but start playing.
Seeing that everyone seemed very interested, Lynch also expressed some of his thoughts.
"The development of Slem is dominated by the gambling industry, which means that large amounts of money will move frequently in a short period of time."
"There are no rules and no reasons. This is very dependent on the bank's business capabilities."
"Domestic, foreign, international, daily settlement..."
So far, the world can only provide basic local access services.
For example, there are risks in depositing and withdrawing money from other places. If you want to spend money across regions, you need to apply in advance. This is the biggest trouble for industries with fast capital flows.
Like a foreign customer, they can't bring millions of cash to Slem to gamble, right?
If you use a bank to deposit and withdraw money in another location, the procedures are cumbersome and the process is long. This will definitely become an obstacle to many people participating in gambling games!
Moreover, since Slem is to be built into the center of the world's gambling industry, it must accept international customers. Cross-regional deposits and withdrawals in the same country are troublesome enough, let alone cross-border deposits and withdrawals!
“So, we need to expand our business!”
Lynch put the chips in his hand back on the table, "Banks, state governments, and casinos are working together to promote an ecological economy based on 'regional currency.'"
"It's like this chip."
"It can be used not only at the gambling table here, but also for shopping in the stores outside. Even if you want to have some fun, the women will accept it!"
"Not just here, but in other places, people can buy chips."
"For example, I am a foreign tourist and I plan to travel to Slem next week. I can exchange 5,000 yuan in chips from the bank in advance and then arrive in Hong Kong with the chips."
"After getting off the ship, these chips will turn into money in this city, and they can be spent anywhere..."
People began to think about what Lynch said.
The representative of the Federal Reserve Bank was the first to react. He grabbed the chips on the table and watched them carefully.
In fact, rather than saying it is like a bargaining chip, it is more like some kind of metallic currency that has not yet been issued and circulated!
Its exquisiteness is not comparable to other chips. Even the twenty-five-cent coins and fifty-cent coins currently in circulation in the Federation are far less beautiful than these chips!
The outer surface of the unknown metal material shows a dull brass color, and the imprint is very clear. You can even feel the three-dimensional outline of each line with your fingers!
The middle circle is silver-white, made of sterling silver, with the words "Blackstone Bank", "Blackstone Casino" and other words printed on it, as well as the number!
Just this number is not something that ordinary small factories can do because it is circular.
If it is slightly crooked, it will be very obvious.
The innermost circle is golden, which is the pure gold that Lynch mentioned.
But this part will definitely not be solid, and the gold may only be on the surface.
The "5" on the gold is very eye-catching and looks particularly noble.
This is a five-dollar chip, and on the back is the appearance of the central casino, which is unbelievably beautiful.
He looked up at Lynch and asked, "Mr. Lynch, is there any intuitive way to quickly identify whether it is true or false?"
Lynch had a glass filled with some kind of liquid.
It put the chips in, and the outermost brass-colored outer ring quickly turned blue in a short period of time.
When Lynch took it out of the liquid and burned it with a lighter for about ten seconds, the area licked by the flame returned to its previous color!
"In addition to these, we also have some other anti-counterfeiting methods, but we will not show other methods before signing a cooperation agreement."
The representative of the Federal Reserve Bank showed a satisfied smile on his face, because he suddenly realized that what Lynch wanted to issue was not actually chips, but a brand new currency!
A brand new currency that can be used in settlement systems around the world without warning!
