Chapter 2554

The person who came to visit Lynch early in the morning was someone from the Federal Gaming Group.

Gambling groups essentially refer to interest groups in the federation whose main business is in various gambling industries. They are not a complete group company in name.

It is a relatively loose alliance composed of multiple companies or groups.

There are many restrictions on the gambling industry in the federal territory. For example, basically all states do not allow casinos to be opened. Even if some places allow casinos to be opened, there are outrageous restrictions.

When operating a casino on federal territory, it can basically be said that 90% of the revenue will be paid into the federal treasury as taxes.

There was once a rumor that Congress planned to raise the starting tax rate for the gambling industry to 92%, with a maximum of 96%!

With such a high tax rate, excluding various expenses, it is basically impossible to make any money by opening a casino legally in the federal government.

The only way to make some money is to operate a casino in an Aboriginal reserve.

In order to appease the indigenous peoples, the federal government gave them many preferential policies.

For example, the tax rate for opening their own casinos is not high and increases step by step, so small casinos are rampant in Aboriginal reserves.

Large casinos have high taxes, but they don’t make as much money as small casinos, and their maintenance costs are also low.

In addition, Aboriginal reserves also have many preferential policies provided by the federal government.

For example, escort services, which are only allowed in very few federal areas, can be opened tax-free in Aboriginal reserves—

There are even some trends encouraging Aboriginal girls to engage in this industry. Because it is tax-free and legal, many women from Aboriginal families are making money through this business.

The man in the family runs a small casino, and the wife and daughter are engaged in the flesh business, which is common on Aboriginal reserves.

There are also some younger girls who are also doing this business.

It’s not that they don’t want to do other businesses, it’s that they have no other jobs to do!

In order to ensure the "original ecology" of Aboriginal reserves, the federal government has not provided basic medical and educational services, especially educational services, to Aboriginal reserves.

They keep the indigenous protected areas "primitive" and force them to hunt for a living!

Let modern people live in a wild environment, and sometimes it is difficult to tell whether it is protecting them or harming them.

For a long time, Aboriginal people learned knowledge from parents who taught their children what little knowledge they had in the family.

Without any education certificate recognized by the federal government, even if they are willing to go out to work, they cannot find a job!

Just like everyone wanted them to take this path, they themselves had resisted, but they all failed in the end.

Gambling groups operate some casinos in various Aboriginal reserves, but these casinos are not very large.

After so many years of domestication, the indigenous people are no longer like their ancestors. Even if they know that they are not the opponent of the devil, they can still launch a death charge without fear of death.

They are like giant maggots now, greedy, stupid, and difficult to deal with.

They will continue to ask for more, ask for more shares, and let more tribesmen take a share of the salary.

In some larger casinos in Aboriginal reserves, almost all employees are Aboriginal employees from top to bottom!

Waiters, waiters, call girls, doormen...

In addition to large-scale gambling groups, there are already many companies or individuals in the Federation that have opened casinos in partnership with Aboriginal people, and they have been completely eaten!

Before the emergence of Slem, the main business of the Federal Gaming Group was actually various lottery businesses, and it was not limited to ordinary lottery businesses, but also horse racing and other businesses that did not look like gambling.

Although they can make a lot of money, compared to those large consortiums, they are still relatively few.

It wasn't until the emergence of Slem that all their talents had room to play. Several major federal lottery companies, horse racing clubs, etc., completed the integration of resources in a short period of time, which is now the gaming group.

It is composed of a number of group companies, and its performance is among the best in Slem.

Their "technology" and "ability" in the entire gambling industry are second only to Lynch, so they became the vice-chairmen of the Slem Industry Committee during their first election.

The vice chairman is in his early fifties and is a very elegant gentleman.

It is said that his ancestor was once an exiled prisoner from Gefra and a grand knight of the Knights.

The reason for being exiled was that he had an affair with the noble lady of the family, after he pledged his allegiance!

From the perspective of the knights, once they declare their allegiance to a family, they cannot have relations with the women of this family, especially the hostess.

Regardless of whether they had an affair before, but once this oath of allegiance is established, they should immediately correct their positions.

He didn't do that, and was caught in the act. He was eventually sent on an expedition ship to this deserted land, becoming one of the first outsiders in this land.

"Mr. Lynch, I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

"I really can't wait to see you, maybe I came a little early..."

The vice chairman is a very gentle person, and his voice is also very gentle. He doesn't speak too fast, and his enunciation is clear, which makes him feel comfortable.

Lynch invited him to sit down and had him brought coffee and pastries.

"If you don't come to me, I will come to you. The executive chairman of the industry committee is about to be elected, right?"

The executive chairman, also known as the vice chairman, is mainly responsible for presiding over daily work, so he is also called the executive chairman.

If Lynch has been ignoring things, then the person with the highest status and power in the entire industry committee is the vice chairman.

It is true that Lynch will not be here all the time. The committee's work is usually left to the vice chairman.

So to a certain extent, he is indeed the person in this city who is second only to Lynch in terms of status and power!

But this position has a disadvantage, that is, it is elected once every two years and cannot be re-elected more than once.

In other words, he has calculated everything and everyone supports him. He can only work for four years, rest for two years, and then work for another four years.

But this is also impossible.

The vice chairman nodded. He sat on Lynch's right side with his legs together, looking very reserved.

"The round selection will be held in February next year, so I would like to report to you some summaries during my work, so as to leave me with a more perfect ending."

It sounds nice, but actually I still hope to get Lynch’s approval.

Without Lynch's intervention, this is a draft, focusing on the word "selection".

But once Lynch interferes, it's not a draft, it's a designation.

With Lynch's nod, the vice chairman gave a very detailed and concise report on Slem's development over the past year.

Lin Qi listened attentively and felt his serious attitude, "Very detailed data. Although I have not seen more specific documents, I can already have a specific outline just through your oral expression."

"You did a great job, which is why I can trust you to take charge of the work."

"Slem has developed faster and reached greater heights under your management than I could have hoped for."

After giving the vice chairman recognition for his work, Lynch said, "You definitely don't just want to talk to me here. Our time is quite tight, so tell me what you want to know."

The vice chairman seemed to be embarrassed that his thoughts had been seen through, and he embarrassedly used some small actions to cover up the embarrassment, but Lynch knew that all this was his performance.

"Mr. Lynch, I wonder if you have anyone in mind to take over my job?"

"If there is, I can hand over work to him in advance."

"The Slem Industry Council is now much larger than when it was first established, and more industry representatives have been incorporated into it. It may take a long time for it to be fully handed over."

"In addition... we would like to know who will take over Ms. Catherine's job after she leaves?"

After speaking these two core questions, he closed his mouth.

It is not surprising to ask such a question. The governor and the next deputy chairman with actual dominance can be said to be the real "masters" of Rislem in the next two years.

Although Lynch is the emperor here, he cannot always pay attention to this place, so the final decision-making power still falls on the governor and vice chairman.

Lynch smiled and pointed at him, "This is the purpose of your visit today."

The latter smiled and bowed, "I still didn't hide it from you!"

He always used honorifics to a young man who was more than ten years younger than him, almost twenty years old, but he didn't feel ashamed or humiliated.

Those who are powerful should be respected. This knowledge has been instilled in his bones since he was born.

“The governor is appointed by voting by the Slem Industry Council and the local councils to select not more than seven candidates, who are then submitted to the Presidential Palace.”

"The president will ultimately decide who is the governor based on the resumes and recent performance of these candidates."

"As for the candidate for vice chairman, to be honest, I am not as familiar with everyone's specific work attitudes and situations as you are."

"So I will not interfere in the election work during the election. You just need to choose the results and tell me the results!"

"Including the issue of the governor's candidacy, I will not interfere. I respect your choice. This is your right."

"I also hope that you can make good use of your rights and choose someone you all think is suitable!"

Hearing the vice chairman's heart beat loudly, "Mr. Lynch, I mean hypothetically..."

"Suppose I nominate a gentleman whom I know well as a candidate for governor..."
