Hardy Empire 1945

  Chapter 204 This young man is so shameless

   "We won the Second World War. We are the biggest beneficiary country. There is no doubt about this. People like a stable life. In the future, all products for people's livelihood will sell well. We can increase investment in this area."

  "With abundant supplies, people will pursue a higher quality of life, and entertainment is essential. In the future, entertainment will continue to develop rapidly, and there is still a lot of room for money in movies, TV, and records."

"In the future, oil will continue to be one of the most profitable industries. At the same time, all chemical industries derived from petroleum will be used in large quantities for people's livelihood, as well as the automobile industry. The car ownership now only accounts for 5% of the national households. This number will increase greatly in the future. , At least one car per family will do."

"The military industry will definitely be highly valued by the government, because we rely on advanced weapons to achieve victory. The government hopes to always maintain an advantage. Therefore, we will not hesitate to invest in the military industry. There is only one order from the Ministry of National Defense. I don't know how many companies we have to feed. ."

"I think the export industry will be greatly improved. World War II has caused a great blow to many countries, such as our allies, Britain and France. They need to rebuild. There is a huge demand for steel and building materials, which will also drive domestic steel production. Increases, even higher steel prices, and higher steel output will naturally develop mining industries and earn more."

   “There are also Asian countries. After this war, the suppressed country has suffered a huge disaster, and it will become a huge market for development in the future. You can consider in advance to deploy there.”

  Amadi Giannini looked at Hardy, trying to conceal the shock in his eyes, what Hardy just said, many things coincide with the analysis of the Bank of America think tank.

There is no think tank yet, but as a super company, Bank of America has also raised several think tanks. These think tanks are the predecessors of think tanks. They will analyze the future development trend through political, economic, social, military, diplomatic, technological and other information. .

  Gianini has always felt that these think tanks are very helpful to him and rely on them very much. Recently, think tanks have made a deduction that is the future direction of the US economy and future industry development.

  Hadi’s predictions for people’s livelihood, entertainment, steel, building materials, automobiles, military industry and even exports are almost similar to those of think tanks.

The old man is shocked that these predictions are the conclusions drawn by the think tank through a large amount of data and some internal government information provided by himself. He does not believe that Hardy can get so much information because he investigated Hardy and The government hasn't had that deep relationship yet.

  But his analysis is so accurate, which shows that this young man's mind is simply too smart, and his vision is very sharp, so he can see so many situations.

  No matter who it is, as long as he can see the direction of the next few years, even one or two years, and then work hard along this road firmly, I believe that he will make a lot of money. No wonder Hardy has achieved such a great achievement in just two years.

  But what Hardy said is a bit different from what the think tanks analyzed.

   is about the situation in Asia.

  They analyzed that Asia has no development prospects for at least 10 years, and it is not worth considering investment. Now the Bank of America’s focus should be on China, with a small amount in Europe.

  In fact, the current strategy of most American companies is also the same.

When he said here, Hardy smiled and looked at Janini said: "My previous industries were basically in these directions, ABC TV, film companies, airlines, Playboy magazines, TV companies, cosmetics. Companies, etc., these are all people’s livelihood industries. As long as these industries are intensively cultivated, they still have a lot of room for development."

"Also, the gambling industry is also a major player in development. I believe that in the future Las Vegas will become a gambling city in the United States, and even a gambling city in the world. As long as this famous brand is built, it can attract many tourists to come and spend. It is definitely an industry that makes a lot of money, and it will continue to grow."

Giannini nodded, "I have known about your Hardy Hotel. To be honest, your business strategy has many unique features, especially the tricks of TV lottery and proxy investment companies, which cleverly avoided the state's approach to lottery. Restrictions."

   "I heard that the TV lottery event is more profitable than the casino itself, isn't it?" Janini asked.

   "It is true. Now it is basically stable at about 60,000 US dollars per draw, and the annual income exceeds 30 million. If you count the casino, it should be around 40 million." Hardy said.

  Gianini said, my bank of America, dozens of cooperative companies, has an annual profit of only more than 200 million U.S. dollars, and your small casino can achieve annual revenue of 40 million. How can such a profit not make people jealous?

   "Hadi, the new casino is built, will there be this project?" Janini asked.

   "Of course there is, but the use of TV station resources and proxy investment companies requires additional payment. At that time, the management will negotiate with ABC TV and proxy investment companies." Hardy said.

Janine looked at Hardy and said that this young man is really a cunning fox. The management is you, ABC TV and the proxy investment company are also yours. You negotiate with yourself, and finally all the money goes into your own pocket. , The calculation is really shrewd.

  Looking at the time, the old man said to Hardy: "I go for a walk in the yard every afternoon. The sun is very good today. Why don't we go for a walk?"

   "Okay." Hardy said and stood up.

  The two walked out of the house and came to the large garden outside, which was connected to the hills at the back, and the grass was invisible at a glance.

  The old man beckoned to the servant next to him, and the butler soon delivered a box. The old man opened the box and took out two trimmed cigars. One of them was handed to Hardy.

   "Come on one?"

  Hadi took the cigar and said with a smile: "Davidoff, this cigar is famous for Churchill."

   "Yes, I like this taste."

  The two lighted their cigars and walked slowly forward. The people around did not follow, but scattered and defended. They were at least 30 meters away.

   "Hadi, do you know our Bank of America?" Janini asked.

   "Know some, of course, it's just the data you announced to the outside world." Hardy said.

  The old man smiled and said, “Bank of America now has more than 400 bank outlets in every city in the United States. Last year, our users reached 5 million and the bank’s total assets reached $11.6 billion.”

  Total assets are not market value. Bank of America now has a market value of approximately US$2 billion.

"At the same time, Bank of America has also invested in a number of companies, Wells Fargo, Lockheed, Litton Industries, Northrop Grumman, these are military companies, I believe they will have a lot of Good future."

Hardy said that they do have a future. In the future, Lockheed will become the world's largest arms dealer, Northrop Grumman is the world's second largest arms dealer, and Lytton Industries will become the fourth largest in the United States. Arms dealer.

"Bank of America has also invested in other banks, such as the Bank of San Francisco, Los Angeles City Bank, and Wells Fargo. It is also involved in insurance, mining, metal smelting, and agricultural and sideline products. Counting all our partners, our scale has exceeded US$20 billion. "

In fact, the old man played a little trick here. He was talking about scale rather than assets. If the assets are less than 20 billion, according to the information Henry gave him, the total assets of the California consortium are now more than 8 billion. .

  After all, some companies look at their names quite bluffing, but they are not large in scale, and their total assets are only in the tens of millions.

  However, the tens of millions of companies in this era are already very impressive companies.

  After finishing this, the old man seemed to want Hardy to digest it, smoked a cigar, and sprayed it out with his nose.

   "Hadi, are you interested in joining us?" The old man finally asked this sentence.

   Hardy knew that when he called himself out, it was not a walk at all, but he didn't want others to hear the conversation between the two. After all, their conversations might involve major investment projects, and it might be affected if the wind leaks.

  When he came, Hardy had already guessed that the California consortium might woo him, and he had already thought about it.

  The California Consortium is a consortium developed after World War II. It is now far less powerful than later generations. It belongs to the early stage of formation. Joining at this time is considered the original stock.

His industries are all on the West Coast, and the natural camp belongs to the California consortium. He does not join himself. He believes that he can develop with his own decades of experience in later generations, but the process will inevitably be more difficult. The California consortium meets.

  Joining a consortium has many benefits. The biggest purpose of the consortium is to integrate resources. The California consortium almost monopolizes most of the industries in California and the West Coast. If you want to develop in the future, people with the consortium’s help will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort.

  Of course, your industry must also benefit others.

  This is a mutually beneficial thing. It is impossible for you to get all the benefits by yourself.

  A simple example.

  In this Las Vegas casino construction, the investment is hundreds of millions. It requires construction companies and companies that can use consortium partners. A large amount of cement, steel, and wood are needed. These companies are in the consortium, and they need to be decorated. There are also companies in the consortium.

  Use the resources in the consortium to save money than to find someone else. If the funds are insufficient, you can be in arrears for a period of time, and you can also find a bank to resolve the difficulties.

You use a reliable construction company, and your partner has made money. Both are suitable. This is the so-called resource integration. In this group, it is difficult for others to intervene in the enterprise that you already have. This is formed under certain circumstances. monopoly.

certainly,

  If you want to join a consortium, it is not so easy to join. You must reach a certain scale and be useful to the consortium.

  In Hardy’s current situation, there is something that the California consortium is very fond of.

  ABC TV station.

  The emergence of a new force has become the highest-rated TV station in the United States in a short time. The California consortium is very interested in its propaganda role. The development of the consortium is inseparable from propaganda. People who want to influence Washington and support themselves in the future cannot do without propaganda.

  The California consortium wants to make ABC TV its own mouthpiece.

  HD security company, people didn't care too much at the beginning, but now it has become the largest security company in the United States. Bank of America is now their customer.

  The consortium is not fancying his ability to make money, but fancy this power.

  Las Vegas casinos, everyone knows that Las Vegas casinos make money, especially after the opening of Hardy Casino, people are more convinced of this. If you want to enter Las Vegas, you must get Hardy’s consent.

  Before Hardy, Las Vegas had always been under the control of the Mafia. Now, no one can go deep into Las Vegas. Now Hardy is willing to let others in. This is definitely an excellent opportunity to make a fortune.

  The more the consortium, the more eager for money.

  Capitalists are crazy about money.

  There is also a very important point. Hardy controls the underground power of Los Angeles. The two most important cities in California are San Francisco and Los Angeles. A king who controls the underground world, Giannini is very clear about its destructive power.

And it's not just Los Angeles. He knows that Hardy’s newly built casino is to cooperate with 15 mafia families. This also shows that Hardy maintains irresistible relations with half of the Mafia forces. The Mafia family is located in the largest city in the United States. Controlling local underground forces, California consortium partners who want to do business in those places may be able to get their help.

  When you want to enter a new market, you are not afraid of the commercial attacks of your opponents, because they know how to deal with it. It is often the forces of the gang that prevent them from entering the local market smoothly.

  The car exploded today.

  The warehouse will be burned tomorrow.

  The day after tomorrow, a group of people jumped out to ask you for a protection fee. If you don’t give it, you’re making trouble, and your business simply can’t go on.

  In the past, the California consortium were purely commercial companies. When they discovered Hardy, they were immediately attracted by these qualities in Hardy and decided to absorb him.

  Hadi did not answer immediately.

Smoking a cigar and walking forward slowly, the old man was not in a hurry, he was very patient, and walked beside the withered grass~www.readwn.com~Mr. Giannini, I would like to ask you for a few things. ? Hardy finally said.

   "Oh, talk about it."

  Hadi took a breath and said, “I want you to help me buy Wells Fargo, which will be operated by Bank of America, and I don’t want to move other industries because I don’t have enough funds, so I hope you lend me this acquisition fund.”

Bank of America holds 12% of the shares of Wells Fargo Bank and is the second largest shareholder of Wells Fargo Bank. Now Wells Fargo Bank is only a small regional local bank. Distributed in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and other cities.

  The current market value is about 200 million yuan, and the total assets such as savings, loans, and mortgages are about 1 billion yuan.

  Hadi wanted to buy the old man from the bank, not surprised, the old man was surprised by what Hardy said to him.

  Let Bank of America come forward to help with the acquisition.

  Also let the Bank of America contribute funds to him.

  Is this young man planning to get a bank without paying a penny, so shameless? !
