Chapter 2047

Those who are capable must 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, do you still want to do the job?
Lynch has enough ability and far-sighted vision, so if he doesn't do this job, who can do it?
Now that the candidate for the chairman has been decided, there is no need for another meeting for the others.

The entire organization is called the "Slem Gambling Industry Committee". After all, gambling is a negative or even criminal act in many countries, so everyone avoided this word as soon as it came up.

The committee has a committee chairman, eight committee members, and thirty committee members.

The candidates for the main members of the committee mainly come from two parts.

In the first part, the chairman of the committee and the members of the committee have a constant number of nine, and the nine licensed casinos elect one person to join the industry committee.

In the second part, the [-] ordinary members consist of [-] members from the committee's subordinate organizations, such as the main person in charge and the main leader of the trade 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 champion of the main event that is expected to be held every year, and the new God of Gamblers every year!
Among them, the chairman of the committee, like the federal president, is elected every four years, but there is no restriction on re-election.

As long as the committee members and directors agree, they can be re-elected forever!
Ordinary committee members are replaced every two years.

Lynch was very meticulous when talking about these things, which also gives people reason to believe that he has actually been preparing for these things for a long time.

There is no need for everyone to object to each item of Lynch's decision, and they will not even object for any reason.

The detailed rules were quickly printed into a book. Although Slem has not yet started to open for business, the rules must be established first.

Although everyone supported Lynch's decision on the surface, Lynch knew very well that these people would be more or less dissatisfied with his decision and the rules he made.

The existence value of industry rules is to restrain unreasonable and disorderly competition, which will inevitably hurt the interests of some people.

This cannot be stopped, and there is no need to stop it.

It was already afternoon after the meeting, and after rejecting some people's plans to invite him to dinner, he sent someone to pick them up at the port.

Among the people who came this time were representatives of the seven major federal banks, as well as representatives of some world-renowned banks.

Slem would be a huge pool of cash, a lure 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 also come over.

Naturally, there is no need to say more about the seven major banks of the Federation, and several international banks also took the initiative to come.

The business and capital pool here are too large, and anyone who sees it is jealous.

As it happens, Lynch also needs the power of these banks to complete his control over the entire city and industry.

After dinner, Lynch sat with these bankers and bank representatives in a slightly shabby hotel.

After the simple pleasantries, Lynch asked everyone to distribute a few "souvenirs" to each of them.

"This is... chips?"

The representative of the Federal Savings Bank knew Lynch and had cooperated in the banking business before, and helped him to facilitate the acquisition of other banks' debts related to Gefra, so they could be regarded as old acquaintances.

At this time, he held a heavy chip in his hand, but its sophistication far surpassed most of the chips currently available in the Federation!
Lynch nodded, picked up one and played with it in his hand.

"Each chip uses a very special technical process, and it costs a lot."

"Currently, the materials used for each chip are mainly some new materials and silver, and some of them are gold."

"We have adopted the latest anti-counterfeiting technology. I dare not say that no one can counterfeit it, but no one can easily manufacture it for at least five years."

The most cancerous existence in the federal gambling industry is those chip counterfeiters.

In the Federation, regardless of whether it is a large casino or a small casino, except for the temporary gambling in the tavern, almost all of them use chips as gambling game props.

The rules of using chips are very mature and have a large audience.

Just like Joanna participated in a private poker game, she used the same chips.

Some people have the idea of ​​playing chips.

Especially those casinos that use ordinary chips as counting props. At first, the counterfeiters directly stole the chips, and then found the chip supplier to buy a batch of chips.

They sneak into the casino, play for a while, and then leave after exchanging the chips they brought in for cash.

Later, the casino also discovered this situation and began to use custom-made chips, which made it impossible for these thieves to buy chips at a cheap price.

But they also have ways, such as sending samples to some manufacturers with poor returns.

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, is there another order yet?

As the two sides battle wits and courage, everyone has been upgrading.

From simple anti-counterfeiting marks to special material processing, the two sides have been fighting around chips to this day, and will continue to fight.

The chips that Lynch showed them were exquisite in workmanship, but the most important thing was that the materials and workmanship it used were very complicated.

In addition, the cost is not cheap. If the counterfeiters want to successfully imitate it, the cost of each piece will be higher than its face value-in small-scale production, there will always be some products whose unit price is ridiculously high!
In this way, even if someone cracks its material and manufacturing process, there is no way to really forge it in the end.

If they can make it and still not owe money, then there is absolutely no need for them to forge chips.

Hearing what Lynch said, everyone couldn't help playing.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be very interested, Lynch also expressed some of his thoughts.

"The development of Slem is dominated by the gambling industry, which means that a large amount of funds will flow frequently in a short period of time."

"There is no law, no reason, and it is very dependent on the bank's business capabilities."

"Domestic, foreign, international, daily settlement..."

So far, the world is still only able to provide basic local access services.

For example, there are risks in remote deposit and withdrawal. If you want to consume across regions, you need to apply in advance. This is the biggest trouble for industries with fast capital flow.

Like a foreign customer, they can't come to Slem to gamble with millions of cash, can they?
If you use the bank to deposit and withdraw in different places, the procedures are troublesome and the process is long, which will definitely become an obstacle that prevents many people from participating in gambling games!

Moreover, since Slem is to be built into the center of the world gambling industry, international customers must be accepted. Cross-regional access in the same country is already troublesome enough, let alone cross-border remote access!

"So, we need to expand our business!"

Lynch put the chips back on the table, "Banks, state governments, casinos, and the three parties will cooperate to promote an ecological economy based on 'regional currency'."

"It's like this chip."

"It can be used not only on the gaming tables here, but also in shops outside. Even if you want to have some fun, those women will accept it!"

"Not only here, but in other places, people can buy chips."

"For example, I am a foreign tourist. I plan to travel to Slem next week. I can exchange 5000 yuan of chips from the bank in advance, and then bring the chips to Hong Kong."

"After disembarking, these chips will become money in this city, and it can be spent anywhere..."

Following what Lynch said, people began to imagine.

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, it is more like some kind of metal currency that has not yet been issued and circulated than it is like a bargaining chip!

Its exquisiteness is not comparable to that of other chips. Even the 25-cent coins and fifty-cent coins currently in circulation in the Federation are far less exquisite than these chips!

The periphery of the unknown metal material presents a faint brass color, and the imprint is very clear, and even fingers can feel the three-dimensional outline of each line!

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 serial number!
Just this number is not something ordinary small factories can do, because it is circular.

A little bit crooked, it will be very obvious.

The innermost circle is golden, which is the pure gold Lynch mentioned.

But this part will definitely not be solid, maybe the gold is only on the surface.

The "5" on the gold is very eye-catching and extraordinarily noble.

This is a five-dollar chip, and the back is the appearance of the central casino, which is outrageously exquisite.

He looked up at Lynch and asked, "Mr. Lynch, is there any intuitive way to quickly identify the authenticity?"

Lynch had someone bring 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 time.

When Lynch took it out of the liquid and burned it with a lighter for about ten seconds, the place licked by the flame returned to its previous color!

"In addition to these, we have some other anti-counterfeiting means, but before signing the cooperation agreement, we will not show other means."

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 a bargaining chip, but a brand new currency!

A brand new currency that can be used in the settlement system of the whole world without vigilance!
