MTL - Treasure Hunt America-Chapter 1229 Meranda's ambition

Indians build casinos on their own plots, which is allowed by the US government, and it is also a way to make up for the sins they did to the Indians back then, and such casinos only need to pay part of the tax every year, and the others Something like a license application, very simple.

So almost everyone knows how a good deal it is to build a casino in an Indian-owned land, which is why at that banquet before, those second-generations were so interested in taking a stake in that ethereal Indian casino.

Because as long as you can take a stake in such a casino, there are definitely many benefits, and Jin Muchen and Jesse never thought that they would have the opportunity to participate in such a stake. After all, the casino they mentioned at that banquet was just a A fictional story.

And now this Melanda actually said that there is really a casino to be built here, and if they take a stake, she is willing to provide them with this opportunity, and the two of them are really stunned, which is a good thing.

However, where exactly this solo was built, and how big is the scale, it still needs to be discussed and discussed carefully.

"What exactly is going on? Melanda, can you tell us about it properly?"

Jesse looked at Melanda seriously and asked, and Melanda sat up straight this time, looked at Jesse and Jin Muchen very seriously and said, "It's probably like this..."

It turns out that Melanda was born in the Cheyenne tribe, the second largest Indian tribe in North America. Their ancestors originated in what is now New York State. Although it is not a good place like Manhattan, the birthplace of their tribe is actually far away. New York is not far away now, in a mountain range about 100 kilometers south of New York.

Later, the white people invaded, and the relationship between their tribe and the white people was good and bad, but later, after the white people from Europe became the masters of the American continent, their tribe had to be threatened by the white people's muskets. , and southern migration.

Later, those white people who came to colonize from Europe established a country and an army on the North American continent. They continued to go west and south to occupy land, and the Cheyenne people were constantly forced to migrate.

In the end, their tribes were torn apart and scattered in various parts of the American continent. Most of them were forced to relocate to what is now Colorado, some were scattered in Nevada and Los Angeles, and the other part chose to go north. It has branches in Minnesota, Montana, and Canada.

It was not until the 1970s, when the American Civil Rights Movement broke out, that these Indians banded together again and began to seek welfare for themselves.

Later, the United States established the Indian Affairs Administration in Washington. Because of the large number of their Cheyenne people, they, together with another large population group, the Arawas, became the head of this administration.

Melanda said that their Cheyenne people now have hundreds of thousands of people, but they are scattered all over the United States. Because of their large number of people, they have some weight in the Indian Affairs Administration.

Basically, the Indians scattered all over the country have passed Congress and got a piece of territory that belongs to them, but these territories are relatively scattered, basically scattered in the states of the United States, where they now live together.

Some of these places are relatively good, suitable for farming or grazing, and some places are more suitable for tourism industry or casinos, but most of them are very poor and not suitable for creating economic value.

In this way, the profits created by the casinos opened by the Cheyennes in the wealthy areas will be distributed to some of the Cheyennes in the poor areas. After all, everyone is a whole and belongs to a group, so you earn Once you get the money, of course you have to share it with everyone. After all, the land was returned in the name of the entire Xia An clan.

If you dare to take it for yourself, then other Cheyenne people will come to trouble you. This is the genius of the American government. They allow you Indians to make money, but once you make money, you will not You may put it in your pocket alone and distribute it to those lazy people. No matter how hard or tired you are, no matter how much money you make, it will belong to everyone.

Without money, what can you Indians do if you can make a fuss?

So even though the Cheyenne people of the tribe led by Melanda got a plot of land near New York State, and also established a casino, and the operation was very good.

But every year, 60% of their net profit must be taken out and handed over to the headquarters of the Xia An family for distribution, and the remaining 40% will be distributed to the people of their own tribe.

Their small branch is now also the most populous, with a registered population of 50,000 to 60,000 people. In this way, no matter how much this casino makes every year, after the distribution is completed, the rest will be in the hands of Melanda. Just a few hundred thousand dollars.

This made Melanda feel very unbalanced. After working so hard, it can be said that the daily operation of the casino, and the daily management of various relationships, all need to come forward by herself.

But at the end of the year, the casino has made a profit of tens of millions, sometimes even hundreds of millions, but a large part of the tax has to be paid. The headquarters of the Xia An family has to go there for more than half, and then give those lazy people in their tribe one point. , I only have so much left, and everyone will feel uncomfortable if I change it.

So she started thinking of starting a new business. Some time ago, he started from his own bloodline and began to look for his maternal bloodline.

After all, their Indians have survived until now, and there are basically not many pure-blooded Indians. Many Indians themselves are mixed with the blood of several other Indian races.

When she searched for it, she really asked her to find such a one. It is the bloodline of the Avaho tribe where they belonged today. According to the tracking of the DNA tree of life, her grandmother was a member of this tribe.

And this Awa fire tribe, with a small number of people, less than 10,000 people now, has long been recognized by the Indian Affairs Administration, and has taken back its own territory in California.

And their private plot is the place where Melanda brought Jin Muchen and Jesse to the place. The name of this place is Butterfly Valley. Every spring and summer, it is famous for a large number of butterflies breeding here.

This is the area of ​​California, a small and famous tourist destination. There are not many people who come here every year. Therefore, the people of the Avajo tribe live a good life. The middle-aged and elderly people in the tribe generally stay in their private plots. Do a little travel business.

Young people, on the other hand, mostly choose to go to big cities, mainly Los Angeles, where they live in the film and television industry. It is said that there was a star or something in the past two years.

Now, Melanda has been recognized by the current patriarch, has been registered, and is considered a member of this clan, and she has also taken a fancy to the good place here, and plans to build a resort hotel and casino here.

But if you want to build these things, you need a lot of money to support, after all, she is still exceptional in the eyes of many people of this clan, so this needs to be dredge.

So she is very short of money now. When she said this, Jin Muchen and the others basically understood.

"So, are you very optimistic about the business here?"

Jesse didn't speak, but Jin Muchen asked with a beer. In terms of casino management, he really said that Melanda was an expert, and he was not very good at it. He wanted to hear some convincing words from Melanda. Something will do.

"Of course, you know, the number of tourists who came here last year was more than 3 million, and it's such a big place, and there's no advertising, it's just word of mouth from tourists. There are so many people coming? That's an impressive achievement."

Jin Muchen nodded, this really makes sense. Laomei has a vast area and sparsely populated places, and there are many places to play, so their scenic spots, no matter how famous they are, are unlikely to be overcrowded on holidays like our scenic spots in China. I can't walk without walking, not to see the scenery~www.novelbuddy.com~ It's all about seeing people.

For many tourist attractions in China, three million trips may be achieved in one day, but in Laomei, with so many people visiting in a year, it is already a very good tourist destination.

Therefore, this data of Meranda is very convincing.

"In addition, you may not have looked at the map. We are very close to San Francisco, not far from San Jose, and only 30 kilometers away from Oakland. Concord, Stockton, and Modesto are also close to us. It's an hour's drive away, and Sacramento is only two hours' drive away. Once we build a casino here, then people in California, especially in northern California, will no longer have to go to Nevada to gamble, directly Just come to us."

I have to say that Melanda has indeed done a very solid homework. When she said this, Jin Muchen and Jessie looked at each other and felt that the place she was talking about was really reliable.

But now is not the time to draw conclusions too early. They still need to verify it carefully. Then they have to wait until tomorrow morning to take a good look at the topography here. After all, this is a basin in the mountains. Not quite sure what's going on here.

And some things, you can't just listen to Melanda's side words, you still need to find some people to do a detailed investigation before you can come to a conclusion, it is more reassuring to leave this to Jesse. (To be continued.)
