Hardy Empire 1945

After Japan surrendered, the United States exercised various controls on Japan, including food. Japan has a small land and a large population. It has been short of food since ancient times. Later, it launched a war and plundered a large amount of food from China and Southeast Asian countries, which made Japan more than a dozen years old. Good day of the year.

In those years, the Japanese government vigorously encouraged childbirth. In just ten years, the population increased by more than 10 million, accounting for 14% of the total population of Japan. This is a very terrifying number.

However, after the defeat of Japan, Japan was unable to obtain food from other places, and the food production in Japan was very limited. Coupled with the rapid increase in population, there was a serious food panic.

Countless people died of starvation.

Although the United States has implemented food aid to Japan, it has also implemented a restriction order, which cannot fully meet Japan's requirements.

Hardy heard what Shigeru Yoshida meant. He was thinking of the idea of ​​the 570 million aid fund he brought, but how could Hardy be as he wanted? That money was not used to buy food for the Japanese. Now You can be content with the minimum configuration.

"Prime Minister Yoshida, I have always believed that solving problems should not only focus on the surface, but must work hard from the root to completely solve the problem. What do you think?" Hardy said.

"Ah~ indeed."

Shigeru Yoshida didn't know what Hardy meant, but there was nothing wrong with this sentence alone, and he followed it.

"Japan's problems are ultimately caused by economic stagnation. As long as companies restart and workers have jobs, social information will naturally flow into the hands of the people. Blindly relief is not a good way, but will only breed laziness."

"What I am doing now is to fundamentally solve Japan's economic problems. When companies resume work, produce products and ship them to the United States, they can naturally ship back large quantities of food, what do you think!"

"Well, it is true." Shigeru Yoshida smiled.

Hadi's money,

It will not be easily given to the Japanese.

Only the weapon in your hand is called a weapon, and it will always have a deterrent effect.

The boring cocktail party ended successfully.

The delegation returned to the Imperial Hotel and rested early. Tomorrow they have important work to officially start the acquisition of Japanese companies.

The next day.

Start in the morning.

There are many entrepreneurs who have successively visited the people of the seven consortiums at the Imperial Hotel and handed over reports on their business conditions.

Most of these people are looking for their own counterpart companies.

Many textile companies have found the Texas consortium. Texas is the largest cotton producing state in the United States. The Texas cotton production area accounts for more than half of the cotton planted area in the United States and more than 45% of the total cotton production in the United States.

Cotton is also the state's largest export agricultural product.

Because of the abundance of cotton, the textile industry is naturally developed. The Dezhou consortium is very powerful in the textile, clothing, and light textile industries.

There are several established steel companies in Japan who have found the Morgan, Rockefeller or Mellon consortium, because the steel industry in the United States is mainly concentrated in the hands of these three consortia.

Petrochemical companies naturally found Rockefeller, and the whole world knows that Rockefeller is the global oil hegemon.

Of course, some people find Hardy Group. Toshiba, Hitachi, Panasonic, and Sharp are the first to come to the door, hoping to cooperate with Hardy Group in electrical appliances.

The Hardy Group has the largest TV factory in the United States, as well as some other electrical appliances companies, while Toshiba, Hitachi, Panasonic, and Sharp, the main products are TV sets, electric fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, sockets, bicycles , Radio, motor, etc.

Hardy did not come forward.

The Vice President of Hardy Group is solely responsible.

Today these companies are in very bad condition. Hardy gave them the order that everyone should buy the shares of these companies together. Together, they must account for the majority of shares, leaving no more than 40% of the shares to Japanese companies.

What if I disagree?

It's ok,

Then support your opponents. There are so many companies of the same type. It is not necessary for you. Although these companies are famous in the future, if they are strangled in the cradle now, Matsushita Electric may become Aoi Electric.

Toshiba may become Hatano.

Before coming to Japan,

The seven major consortia have reached an alliance agreement.

In addition to the 300 military companies acquired, all other companies acquired in Japan also adopt the cross-shareholding model, unless you take the initiative to abandon the acquisition of a certain company.

Each of these consortia has registered hundreds of companies in the Cayman Islands, and all acquisitions of Japanese companies will be in the name of Cayman Islands companies.

Behind these companies are intricate cross-shareholdings. Except for the people of a few large companies, outsiders have no idea who the actual controllers of these companies are and what their share ratios are.

So this acquisition activity, to put it bluntly, is that the seven consortiums face all Japanese companies together. The seven consortiums have reached a joint. It is absolutely impossible for these Japanese companies to have talks with family A, and then go to family B to talk, so as to increase their value. Possible.

Those so-called bargaining skills are not useful here at all.

What kind of business is the most terrible, that is monopoly, and now the seven major consortia intend to monopolize Japan's economy and enterprises.

certainly,

On the bright side, the Japanese will not be able to see it.

Hardy did not participate in the acquisition, but was invited by the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs to go out and play together.

The convoy parked at the entrance of a quaint house. The Minister of Foreign Affairs asked Hardy to get off the car and walked into the courtyard. Inside was a courtyard with a strong Japanese style, and behind it was a Japanese building.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs introduced: "This is a house built in 1884, with both Chinese and Western styles. General MacArthur now lives in such a house."

Hardy said,

He not only lives in a Japanese house, but also sleeps with Japanese women.

In the past two days, Duncan collected a lot of MacArthur's information, of course, most of them are on the surface, but this information is also very helpful for Hardy to understand the current MacArthur.

After MacArthur came to Japan, the Japanese tried their best to curry favor, first giving away a Japanese-style mansion and then another woman.

The woman's name was Hara Setsuko, and she was the most famous film actress in Japan at the time. She had filmed Kurosawa movies, traveled to Europe, met Hitler, and was fluent in English and German. She was a bestie with Li Xianglan.

After MacArthur occupied Japan, Shigeru Yoshida, yes, the current Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida arranged for Hara Setsuko to meet MacArthur. Soon Hara Setsuko entered MacArthur’s life. The 28-year-old Harako became the 70-year-old MacArthur’s. lover.

The fact that Setsuko Hara became MacArthur's lover is an open secret in Tokyo. Many people know it, but everyone thinks it doesn't matter.

The Japanese dispatched Hara Setsuko to serve MacArthur, naturally, with a purpose, using the beauty of beauty to fight for the benefits of Japan.

Later, the original Setsuko did indeed play a significant role.

Go through the front yard and come to the room, which is a typical Japanese decoration, with wooden houses, tatami mats, wooden fence partitions, and low coffee tables.

At this moment, Hardy was in a trance, as if it overlapped with the scenes in some videos of later generations.

"Mr. Hardy, there is a larger garden in the back with beautiful scenery. If you live here in the future, you can take a walk in the garden." The Minister of Foreign Affairs introduced with a smile.

The two came to the back garden.

It is really big here, and there is even a small lake. There is a wooden pavilion on the lake. When a few people walked forward, a large field of hydrangeas appeared in front of them, blooming splendidly, and a girl in a kimono walked out behind the flowers.

About 20 meters away from Hardy and the others, they stopped and looked over here.

This girl is exquisite and beautiful, with matte skin and big bright eyes. She looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old. She is wearing a pink kimono, standing in a sea of ​​purple flowers, as if she has become a sea of ​​flowers. center of.

Hardy's heart moved.

Isn't this another pillow-style strategy arranged by Shigeru Yoshida? !

The Minister of Foreign Affairs introduced with a smile: "Mr. Hardy, this is Miss Sasaki Fumiko. She is a student of the Japan Film Academy. She is 17 years old this year. She is proficient in English. His father is a diplomat. He can be your assistant and interpreter. ."

After the girl heard what the Minister of Foreign Affairs said, she walked two steps forward, stood seven or eight meters away from Hardy, and bowed to Hardy ninety degrees.

"I have seen Master Hardy." The girl said softly in English.

Gave the house and the woman again.

It seems that they want to bribe themselves. Of course, they do this to get more from themselves. The Japanese are very good at playing this game.

Hardy glanced at the girl, then turned to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and said indifferently: "I don’t have to send the house. I’m still used to living in a Western-style house. The Hardy Group originally had a business in Japan. They have already bought a Western-style house for me. The villa occupies a lot of space than here. It’s just that it has a lot of work when I first arrived, and it’s convenient to live with the delegation, so I didn’t move it. The Minister of Foreign Affairs was kind enough to welcome it.”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs was taken aback for a moment, "Ah, Miss Sasaki, you can be your life assistant and interpreter."

Hardy glanced at the pretty little girl again. She looked a bit similar to a female star of the same surname in the later island country. She was of that sweet and very cute type.

only,

Although Hardy likes women, he has his own principles.

It is too troublesome to accept such a woman.

Not afraid.

But I don't want to be influenced by a woman's decision.

Some people say that a man should control his lower body. The meaning of this sentence is not that you can't play with a woman, but you need to know how to play, and you can't be controlled by the small head.

"No, I have my own translation."

After speaking, Hardy turned and walked back, "I visited the Japanese-style house today, and I feel very unique. Let's end today's program. I have a lot of work when I go back."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs was a little flustered by Hardy's actions.

According to the script they set, Hardy would accept the house, and then see the girl they carefully selected and become interested in the girl. Many people will keep the girl even if it is just because of desire.

Then set up a table of Japanese wine and dishes in this yard, and let Sasaki accompany Hardy to drink and chat. When Hardy drinks a lot, the girl will take care of him, and something will happen naturally between the two.

This plan is perfect.

That's how MacArthur was taken.

But when it came to Hardy, it didn't work at all. They thought that Hardy was a young man and must be even better. They never expected Hardy to refuse so simply.

When Hardy left, Fumiko Sasaki's eyes turned dim, and it was obvious that Mr. Hardy didn't like him.

When he knew he was going to serve Mr. Hardy, Sasaki looked at Hardy's information and felt that the more he looked at it, the more he admired him. In just a few years, he changed from an ordinary person to a billionaire, even now a very influential American in the United States. people.

And also so young and handsome.

She feels that she is more fortunate to serve him than Harajiko serves MacArthur. She has been looking at Hardy's photos these days and, as the teacher taught, hypnotizes herself to like Hardy, so that when she serves each other, Will be extremely hard.

Men are actually very sensitive and can perceive girls' thoughts, their every move, and even the degree of vocal involvement, will affect the mood and feelings of the other person.

She made a lot of preparations.

But the other party turned around and left, which made Sasaki very sad, and even felt like a broken relationship.

......

Hardy returned to the hotel.

It didn't take long for Duncan to come over and enter Hardy's room.

"Boss, I have found something to report to you." Duncan said.

"Say."

"Japan is short of food and food, and there are many black markets. Only in the downtown area of ​​Tokyo, there are several large-scale markets. Now Japan’s food rations are very small and single, but the black market is very rich. ."

"Rice, wheat, corn, cheese, candy, coffee, canned lunch, canned beef are all."

"The prices of these items are often 10 times or even higher than the official prices. They are extremely profitable. Most of the businesses on the black market are dominated by gangs. For example, the market in Asakusa is the Shibayama group, the market in Ginza is the Ueda group, and the market in the Shimbashi area. It’s the Matsuda group, and the Shinjuku market is the Yamaguchi group."

"The shipments in these markets are very large, and they are not available through small channels. Later I found out that behind this is an American company, which is a food trading company in Wisconsin, which exports grain and food every year. And now their main export target is Japan~www.readwn.com~ Every month, there are two ships of 7,000 to 8,000 tons, which are loaded with goods to Japan. These grains and foods do not go through the formal state quota procedures. Instead, it quietly entered the Japanese black market and sold it at a higher price."

"Boss, MacArthur's hometown is Wisconsin, and the owner of this company is MacArthur's cousin."

A smile appeared on Hardy's face.

"Use secret communication channels to tell Henry the situation, and let him investigate this matter with all his strength, including smuggling channels, quantity, tax evasion, and everything that can be found."

"Good boss."

Duncan left.

Hardy took a sip of his cigar.

Ha ha.

It's ridiculous to play a kid and get stuck in his temper, and then not meet himself. No wonder he is said to be a ‘first-rate actor, a second-rate politician, and a third-rate general’.

I don't know how MacArthur will respond to these things when I look back, I think it's interesting to think about it, ha ha ha.
