Hardy Empire 1945

  Chapter 217 "Super Idol" audition show

  After Bill left, the butler came to Hardy with a tray in his hand and a letter in the tray.

   "Mr. Hardy, just sent a letter."

  Hadi was surprised at who would write to himself.

   picked it up and looked at it, and found that Victor had mailed it from Hong Kong.

  The letter was very thick, with dozens of pages. He looked at it and said it was a letter, rather than Victor’s recent work report.

  Although they can send messages by telegram, many confidential information cannot be known to outsiders. Victor thought of using this most primitive and safest way.

  In the letter, Victor gave a detailed account of his work in the past two months.

  After arriving in Hong Kong, Victor first rented a facade house in the most prosperous district in Hong Kong. His explanation was that the face of the Hardy Group must be established. Hardy is very supportive of this, and sometimes face is very important.

  Then I asked the consulate of the consulate for help, and invited the big figures of Hong Kong politics and business to participate in the reception, and the situation opened up smoothly.

   Seeing this, Hardy nodded. Victor, a person who has seen the world, has the most flexible mind. This is the main reason why he was sent in the past.

  People who can go to prison are often talented people.

At the beginning, the antiques were collected. The situation was normal, with a few dozen pieces a day. Later, when the penicillin arrived, Victor first sold some to the Hong Kong hospital. He used this method to tell others that he had penicillin in his hand and the quantity was large. .

as predicted.

  Attracted two big customers.

   Victor gave a detailed description of the situation of the transaction with the two customers, and Hardy had a mind after reading it.

The first middle-aged person should be a regular person who can bring out gold and antiques. The second Mr. Xu should be from the north. The letter said that the Citibank promissory note came from San Francisco. Hardy guessed that it might be brought to court. There are relationships.

  After half a month, the middle-aged man came again.

  This time Victor finally let him introduce himself, knowing the middle-aged man's surname is Kong, this time he brought more antiques, two full trucks.

  Victor said in the letter that for the first time he deliberately asked the appraiser to estimate the high price for Mr. Kong’s things, this time the normal estimate was even lower, but that Mr. Kong still sold it. He only wanted a U.S. bank check.

  And Mr. Kong said that he has more antiques, as long as Victor can eat them, he can ship them in large quantities.

  Although Hardy is not present, he can still guess something. Some people resell cultural relics during the national crisis and continue to make a fortune.

  According to the history, the surname Chang has been dumping cultural relics on a large scale during this period, and the things in the Forbidden City have been completely emptied by him, and there are also a lot of gold jewelry.

  It is not surprising that some people reselling antiques for personal gain during this period are not surprising, and they may even be the big ones. After all, there are not many people who can sell such large quantities.

  Hadi was a little bit angry.

  At the beginning, he bought Chinese cultural relics.

  Because I don’t want them to be left out, buy it and save it. The money that foreigners will use to cheat the people in the future is also regarded as an investment.

  Later, I met Han Yezhen. This casual thing became bigger and bigger, and it became one of his hobbies.

  The more Chinese antique works of art are acquired, the more he feels the loss of cultural relics, and he wants to do his best to preserve these treasures of the Chinese nation.

  Led Victor and asked him whether he would accept these antiques.

receive,

  Let the moths profit.

  Not accepted,

  These babies don’t know what their fate is.

  Have someone bring paper and pen, and Hardy wrote a few words on it.

  "All received, the price is lowered by more than 30%, and they will be issued a Wells Fargo check, which can only be collected after they arrive in the United States. Each transaction check number is issued by the bank to retain information."

  After finishing writing, hand it to the bodyguard next to it.

  "Take it to the Telegraph Office and send it to Victor."

  The bodyguard took it out.

  Hadi thought for a while, then called Global Times President Mark Keane, “Has the newspaper established a branch in Hong Kong?”

   "There is no boss for the time being, Dongfang only established a branch in Japan." Mark Keane said.

   "Establish a branch in Hong Kong as soon as possible. The Hardy Group has a company in Hong Kong, the Hardy Auction Company. Go there and ask Victor for help. It will be much easier for the newspaper."

   "After the establishment of the Hong Kong Oriental Branch, reporters will be sent to China, the Korean Peninsula, Southeast Asia and other countries to cover the situation there."

  Although Mark Keane did not know why the boss specifically ordered the establishment of a branch in Hong Kong as soon as possible, he still agreed immediately.

  Hadi put down the phone and thought about it, and then called Wells Fargo President John Ston, "John, the Hardy Group has begun to expand business in Hong Kong and Japan. I think it is necessary for Wells Fargo Bank to open branches in Hong Kong and Japan."

  "Hong Kong and Japan, boss, do you like the East?" Johnston asked.

   "Yes, although the current conditions are not as good as those in Europe, they may not be in the future, and there are fewer competitors over there. Unlike European countries, each country has hundreds of banks."

  "I understand the boss, I will arrange to open branches in Hong Kong and Japan." Johnston responded.

  In a blink of an eye, it was evening.

  The butler answered a call and came over to report to Hardy's: "Mr. Hardy, Miss Heidi Ramah is calling, want to invite you to dinner together?"

"OK."

  The dinner for the two was eaten at Heidi Ram’s house. She still lives in her studio. She likes the relaxed environment here and doesn’t have to be as formal as the villa.

  Heidi Ramah will cook, which surprised Hardy.

  You must know that Heidi Lama is a real nobleman, and his father is a banker.

  Heidi Ramah smiled, “I went to a noble girls’ school to learn how to be a noble mistress. Although the mistress does not need to cook by herself, she must know how to cook.”

   "The box office officially exceeds 10 million, what do you think?" Hardy asked with a smile.

   "I am very excited, I have fulfilled my highest dream." Heidi Lama said.

Hardy shook his head, "It may not be the highest dream. The film company has applied for the Golden Globes and Oscars for awards. Taylor's "This Killer Is Not So Cold" and your "Human and Ghosts Are Coming" may be shortlisted for awards. ."

"Really?"

   "Of course, I am looking for someone to operate."

  Meyer is the chairman of the Oscar jury, and Hardy is the chairman of the actors' union. The two work together, and it is not difficult to get a few awards.

  Heidi Ramah threw on Hardy excitedly and kissed the man all over his body.

  After a long time,

  The two came out of the bathroom and lay on the bed. Heidi remembered something, and ran over to turn on the TV.

  After adjusting the stage, he quickly ran back and got into the bed, nestled in Hardy's arms.

  Heidi Ramah is a native of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Her skin is very delicate and feels very good in her hands.

  "The TV series is about to begin. This TV series is called "Vampires and Werewolves". It is very horrible. I am scared to watch it alone at night, but I can't help but want to watch it." Heidi Lama said.

  Vampires and werewolves?

   Hardy knows that ABC TV does not have this TV series. At this time, the icon of the TV station appeared, which turned out to be a program of Columbia TV.

  Under the pressure of ABC TV, NBC and Columbia TV have increased their investment and increased the length of the program. Now the broadcast time is almost the same as that of ABC TV, and it is also after 8 am to 11 pm.

  They have also produced a lot of shows, but some of them are obviously imitating the ABC TV station, compared to the current night shows, sports shows, TV songs and so on.

Even TV shopping began to imitate, but they did not have a direct phone shopping link, because if they dare to do that, ABC will directly sue them. Their TV shopping is more like an advertisement. Stop the introduction, the benefits of various functions and so on.

  Then tell customers where they can buy these products.

During this period of time, due to the efforts of the two major TV stations, a lot of viewership ratings were obviously recovered. In the most recent questionnaire survey, the viewership ratings of ABC TV have dropped significantly. Although the top TV programs are still ABC, the viewers are more interested in others. Television programs are gradually becoming interested.

  Currently, ABC’s total ratings are only about 67%, and the remaining 30% of the market is divided up by the other two major TV stations.

  It may be that the original program is tired of watching, and people are looking for freshness.

   Hardy thinks,

  It’s time to start a new wave of shows.

  For example, he planned the "Super Draft" program very early. The draft program planner had already told ABC President William Fox, but the ratings were very good before, and Hardy felt that it was not needed for the time being.

   Just when Hardy was thinking about something, he suddenly felt tight under his body, and there was a sensation of pain, and then Heidi Lama let out a scream and plunged his head into his arms.

  At this moment on TV, the werewolf is transforming, from a man to a ferocious and ugly werewolf, showing sharp fangs, which is really scary.

But,

  You can't catch there either.

  Hadi hurried to open Heidi's hand. It was a little easier. Heidi Rama noticed something was wrong, and looked at Hardy with guilt in her eyes, "Sorry, I forgot when I was nervous."

   "Does it hurt?"

   "It hurts a bit."

   "Should I take medicine for you?"

   "No, just blow it."

  The next day.

Hardy came to the ABC TV station and asked about the recent TV stations. William Fox reported to Hardy. "NBC and Disney Pictures have cooperated and introduced their "Disneyland" and "Mickey Mouse Club", which are very popular with children. like."

  "Columbia and Universal Studios cooperated. The TV series "Vampires and Werewolves" they filmed recently has a very high ratings. Except for "A Fairy Wife", it has surpassed other shows."

  "The two TV stations have also launched programs such as baseball games, football games, fashion shows, shopping for you, and host talk shows~www.readwn.com~ are very popular."

   Hardy nodded, “It seems that it’s time to come up with a trump card, William, to start the super draft program, this year will focus on launching this show, so that the United States enters the carnival era.”

  Irina became excited when she heard that she had seen the super draft program, and she was happy to say: "I dare to say that as long as we start the super draft program, the programs of other TV stations will be eclipsed."

   Hardy Road:

"This time I am going to launch the "Super Idol" audition, which mainly focuses on singing. I select idols who sing nicely. There is no limit to men and women. They are between 12 and 28 years old. There is no restriction on nationality. Anyone can come to Los Angeles. Participate in the audition."

Talent shows like the    Talent Show are very lively, but they are not very helpful for digging up talents in the later stage and expanding the talent pool. If you are a singer, you can sign a record company with a record company if you are a singer, and you can continue to make money for the company in the future.

  Hadi told the two about the competition system. Many rules are copied from later generations of "American Idol". American Idol will not appear until decades later. Now Hardy's super idol is original.

   "I will find a few suitable people to be judges. I already have arrangements in mind for the candidates." Hardy said.
