Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 274: : Audrey Hepburn found it

The HD Mercenary Company was established, but he still lacks a leader. Lanster is responsible for the overall security of the company. He has a combat command room think tank under him. The intelligence company is in charge of Henry. The mercenary company also needs a person in charge.

   Finally, Lanster recommended John Harris.

  John Harris is a member of the combat command room think tank. He was once a Marine Corps colonel. He is 42 years old this year. He started as an ordinary Marine Corps soldier and served as squad leader, sergeant chief, combat staff, and support group captain.

   was a prominent performer in World War II, and was later promoted to a colonel, participated in the war against Japan, and commanded regiment-level unit operations.

   But in this major disarmament, John Harris was not spared. He was laid off. He has been a soldier for half his life. He has been a little uncomfortable after returning to the society. Applying for a job at the company, but it feels very unpleasant to do it.

At the end of 1946, when HD security expanded its enrollment, it advertised in newspapers, recruiting veterans to join the security company. John Harrison came to be interested and came to apply for the job. Lanster used to be a Marine Corps staff officer and heard of John Harris. His name, he was recruited into the combat command room.

   Hardy's proposal to Lanster feels okay. He has also been in contact with John Harris. He is a person who does things very simply and neatly.

   is also a ruthless person.

   It is said that in the battle against Japan, he saw his comrades die a lot. This guy deliberately pretended not to see it when the enemy raised the flag and surrendered.

   "Let Harris come." Hardy nodded in agreement.

   John Harris was called to the office. He was wearing a combat camouflage uniform. He was about 1.9 meters tall, but he was a little thin and his cheeks were hollowed in, making him look serious all the time.

   You can tell from his upright posture that this is a professional soldier, and the temperament of a soldier has been incorporated into his blood.

   Such people are actually very painful in society.

   What he hopes more is to be on the battlefield all the time, even if he died in battle.

   "Harris, if you are asked to be the head of the'HD Mercenary Company', what will you do first?" Hardy asked.

  John Harris gave a slight pause.

   "The first thing I did was to change the company's name."

   Hardy was taken aback.

   "Change your name, what?"

   "HD Security Defense Company." Harris said.

   "The mercenary company is too harsh, and the security and defense company is much better. You don't need to be wary when you hear it."

   Hardy nodded in agreement.

   "Well, from now on you are the head of the HD Security and Defense Company, and you start to form your team. As for how to develop next, you should be involved in making the plan, right?" Hardy said.

   "Yes, I participated."

"Then follow the step-by-step implementation in the plan. You need to implement combat headquarters, special operations training, special operations training base construction, air force base construction, overseas military base construction, and the formation of maritime defense forces. ?" Hardy said.

   John Harris was excited and felt a torrent of heat rushing through his body. He was very excited, because the next thing to do is his favorite career.

   "No problem, I will do Mr. Hardy." John Harris said loudly.

  HD Security and Defense Company was formally established and began to receive equipment. Hardy, Harris and Colonel Beech came to the logistics department warehouse together.

   "Guns, artillery, vehicles, tanks, and equipment, as long as you are fancy, please feel free to contact Beechcraft here to get them. Our defense company has no restrictions on army equipment."

   "I have ordered the aircraft, there are 10 of various fighters, and they are under maintenance." Several people came to the warehouse, and inside were large wooden boxes.

   Hardy patted the big wooden box and said, "This is an aircraft engine. Two sets of engine accessories are provided for each aircraft."

   "Sea power can only be below the frigate, and those Beeches have also been maintained by people."

   "As for the manpower, you can select from existing HD security personnel, or you can select from the veterans list. I promised Major General Williams to help him digest 1,000 veterans every year."

   Colonel Beech smiled and said, "Mr. Hardy, you can promise a lot more for the veterans you solve."

   Hardy smiled softly, "Don't worry, there will be more in the future. When my logistics company and supermarket chain get up, I can digest tens of thousands of veterans."

   Hardy looked at Harris again, "The people we hired before were mainly Marines. Now that we have air and sea power, we must hire professional staff. You communicate with Colonel Beech and try to recruit the best."

   "I know Mr. Hardy." Harris nodded.

   Colonel Beech also hurriedly said: "You can rest assured Mr. Hardy, I must cooperate with Colonel Harris."

   Things were arranged, and the rest was handed over to Harris. As the boss, he provided funds and weapons, and the rest was handed over to professionals. He believed that Harris should do better than himself in terms of details.

  He is not a master of micromanipulation.

  Professional things are naturally left to professional people.

  ......

   Hardy suddenly received a report from Henry this day.

   "Boss, you let the girl I investigated named'Audrey Hepburn' found."

   Hardy's heart moved slightly.

   "Tell me about the investigation."

"The girl named Audrey Hepburn is 19 years old and was born in Brussels, Belgium. Her father is an Englishman, a banker, and her mother is Dutch. She has the title of baron. Audrey Hepburn studied at an aristocratic boarding house in Kent, England when she was a child. School."

   "Later, her parents divorced, and she returned to the Netherlands with her mother. When she was 10 years old, she entered the Anheng Conservatory of Music in the Netherlands to study ballet. Later, the Netherlands was occupied by Germany and her life became very difficult."

"That is, this year, Audrey Hepburn went to a ballet school called "Mary Lambert" in London, England. During that time, she filmed a Dutch promotional film and participated in stage performances. supporting role."

   "That's the situation." Henry finished speaking and looked at Hardy.

   Hardy nodded.

   The current Hepburn is not the Hepburn of later generations, but one of thousands of young girls.

   Hardy called Edward.

   "Edward, you send someone to the UK to sign this girl named'Audrey Hepburn' to the HD agency. Henry has her information, and their people will help you complete your work." Hardy said.

   Edward took the information that Hardy had handed over. There was a color photo on it. The photo was a girl who looked elegant but very young.

   "Good Mr. Hardy, what about after signing the contract?" Edward asked cautiously.

   Every action of Boss Hardy has deep meaning inside. Edward doesn't believe that the boss called him over just for an ordinary girl.

   "Next?"

   Hardy tapped his finger on the desktop.

   The current Audrey Hepburn is still very immature, and he is not anxious in time, it is better to let her grow up for another year or two.

   "After signing the contract, arrange training for her, and then participate in performances, stage plays or movie supporting roles. You will practice for a period of time. During this time, you will ask the agent team to train her." Hardy said.

   "I understand Mr. Hardy, I will do this myself."

   Edward never dared to slacken his orders to Hardy. He always remembered that he was once a house seller.

   From a small house sales to the president of HD Pictures, he has become more aware that the boss is his own god. One word can make you sit in a high position, and one word can make you have nothing.

   "Edward, what happened to other film companies after the Paramount Act was enacted?" Hardy asked.

   Not long ago, the Supreme Court ruled that several major film companies were suspected of being involved in the ‘antitrust’ law, requiring film production companies not to have both distribution and projection services at the same time.

  Paramount, Universal, MGM and other major film companies are all sanctioned.

"Paramount has agreed to sell the theaters, and is now negotiating with several theaters manufacturers. The others have not moved yet. However, several major film companies have invariably reduced the number of film productions, and even cut them off as planned. NS."

   "I also heard that Paramount is in contact with NBC TV. It seems that they are planning to enter the TV industry."

   Paramount has always been optimistic about the TV industry. When Hardy bought ABC TV, Paramount was one of the competitors. Now that ABC TV is in full swing, Paramount is even more optimistic about this industry.

This time, the Paramount Act has no impact on Hardy’s HD film industry, and even said that it is beneficial. Because theaters become independent and become a free market, film companies without theaters will have their days in the future. The video quality determines the playback volume.

to be honest.

   Regarding the Paramount Act, Hardy had some ideas before, such as letting others form a company and secretly acquiring a group of theater chains.

   But after thinking about it, I lost interest.

   To tell the truth, the investment in theaters has been slow, and he is already a little distracted, but this does not hinder his future layout of the film industry.

   told Edward to leave.

  ......

   Having been busy for so many days in a row, Hardy was also a little tired. He planned to take a break and find a place to spend a vacation. Where would he go?

   Hardy suddenly thought of a place.

Rocky Mount.

   Hardy has 8,000 acres of land under the Rocky Mountains, which is equivalent to 32 square kilometers. The Rocky Mountain Mineral Water Company is located here.

   His new ranch is also here.

Los Angeles is above 0 degrees all the year round, and it will be over after a few rains in winter, but he listened to the report from the ranch, saying that there has been heavy snow on the Rocky Mountain side. Fortunately, the bullpens have been set up. Those little black cows can be in the bullpen. To spend the winter in.

   When he went to inspect the Rocky Mountain Mineral Water Factory, he took a look at the scenery on the side of the mountain and said with emotion that if a wooden house is built at the foot of the mountain, it would be interesting to come here in winter for vacation. The manager Adams is a shrewd old man.

   Only three months after Hardy returned to Los Angeles, he received a call from Adams, saying that a holiday house had been built at the foot of the mountain, and Mr. Hardy could come anytime.

   Houses in the U.S. are mostly built with wood, and the construction speed is very fast. The most indispensable thing on the Rocky Mountain is wood.

   Hardy verbally promised to have time to play in the past, but he forgot things as soon as he got busy. Now he feels a little tired, and remembers that there is a holiday house over there, it is better to take a rest and play for two days.

   Didn't Ava say something about "Kilimanjaro's Snow" to be filmed some time ago, let her feel the smell of falling snow in Kishan first.

   When Hardy talked to Ava, Ava jumped up excitedly.

   Hardy contacted Adams in advance and told him that he would go to the holiday house to rest for two days. Adams readily agreed, and put down the phone and let people prepare.

   Clean the holiday house, put on new bedding, prepare food, etc.

After Ava participated in the latest "Super Idol" recording, she followed Hardy to New Mexico the next day. When their car arrived at the Rocky Mountain Mineral Water Company, they could see the Rocky Mountains in the distance. It’s the white snow~www.readwn.com~ Manager Adams came out to greet him,

   "Mr. Hardy, everything is ready in the holiday house. By the way, do I need to find a butler, chef and waiter for you?"

   Hardy waved his hand.

   "No need, I just want to stay quiet for two days."

   The two did not stay. They changed their clothes and started hiking towards the mountain holiday house. The snow was thick enough to reach the knees. The two stopped to admire the snow from time to time. In the magnificent mountain and river scenery, they only felt physically and mentally happy.

   climbed for more than two hours, and finally came to the holiday house.

   The holiday house is not small, similar to a small villa. The two shook off the snow and opened the door. Hardy and Ava made a fire together. When the firewood was lit in the fireplace, the house quickly became warmer.

   The two make dinner together.

The refrigerator is full of food, and there is no shortage of spices on the shelves. Although Hardy is not a good cook, it is easy to get a grilled steak. Ava comes from an ordinary family, tidy the table, and open a few cans. A good dinner is ready.

   Warm cabin.

   Hot dinner.

   French red wine.

   This is happiness.

   After dinner, there was a heavy snowfall outside the window. The two of them were nestled in the blankets, their bodies close to each other, without any distracting thoughts in their minds, abandoning the hustle and bustle of the city.

   This ethereal feeling of mind and body is fascinating.

  Ava just feels her soul slowly flying and drifting.
