Hardy Empire 1945

Johnson and Hardy chatted in the office for more than two hours. Johnson said: "It's time for exercise. The doctor said that my cardiovascular system is not good. Let me have time to take a walk. Hardy, go for a walk with me."

"Of course it's good."

Hardy readily agreed.

The two came to the South Lawn of the White House. This is the back garden of the White House. The total area is about 100 acres, which is not too big. However, the South Lawn is very well-known. The President of the United States often meets foreign heads of state here and holds press conferences. .

The two talked while walking.

After talking about Japan, and then about Hong Kong, Johnson knew that Hardy had a lot of investments in Hong Kong, and asked: "How is the situation in Hong Kong now? I have read some reports, but it's not very intuitive."

"You asked the right person. I just went to Hong Kong before returning to the United States. I also met with Governor Grantham of Hong Kong. A few days ago, the British issued a statement acknowledging that the situation on both sides has stabilized, and the people have begun to lead a step-by-step life. , My investments in Hong Kong have been preserved, and now they have begun to increase in value." Hardy said with a smile.

Johnson was not so happy. "This is not what I want to see. The British gave up the policy we discussed in advance for a little benefit."

after WWII.

The United States has gradually become the world's leader.

Britain is no longer beautiful, but still wants to maintain the dignity of the world's largest country. Therefore, the United States and Britain will have many differences and collisions in many places.

To put it bluntly, it is for their own benefit.

The transfer of rights between the United Kingdom and the United States has not been smooth sailing. There are many nasty hidden behind the scenes, such as the interests in the Middle East.

The rapid collapse of British overseas colonies also bears the shadow of the Americans.

Hardy said: "Now the British colonies are fighting for independence one by one. The British are fighting fire everywhere, and with their own strength, it is really difficult to fight the eastern country, mainly because it is too far away, even if it is too far to send troops, it will not help."

"In order to protect the Malacca waterway leading to Hong Kong, Japan, I built a security base in Southeast Asia. I heard from my subordinates that Malaya is also very violent now, involving many forces, and the British can't handle the fire from side to side."

Johnson nodded, "I have also read the report on the situation over there, involving Malays, Indians, and Chinese. Now I am worried that if there is a red influence, there will be major changes."

It seems that the United States and the United Kingdom are considering the same situation, and the most worried thing is the expansion of the Red Soviet power.

Hardy said in a very casual tone: "In fact, there is a simple way to solve the trouble over there."

"Oh, what can I do?" Johnson asked.

"Split."

"Didn't there be dominions in many parts of the UK? The same can be done there. No one wants to fight. The vast majority of people want to have a stable life and give them a stable environment. Naturally, they will stabilize. , Naturally no one will make trouble."

"The establishment of a democratic Oriental society is also a template."

Hardy knows that future changes will be suppressed by many forces. The most injured are the Southeast Asian flower growers, who have very low rights. If an independent country can be established and normal rights can be obtained, it is actually a good choice.

Johnson fell into thinking after hearing Hardy's words, and he thought the idea was very interesting.

The British are unwilling to give up their previous interests and will not be reconciled until the last moment. The dominion is also a helpless choice. Although it belongs to the United Kingdom in name, the United Kingdom has no benefits in these places.

But this is a good thing for the United States. If the British colony is split, Britain will be weakened. When the British colony is completely lost, they can only rely on the United States.

There is also the word ‘democratic template’, which is very appetizing for Johnson.

"Hadi, you have a base over there, and you still have the status of a British baron. This matter can be manipulated." Johnson looked at Hardy.

"Let me do it? No, no, no, I have to take care of so many businesses. How can I do it? This is a thankless thing. When I got Cayman, it was for business, not for the purpose of governorship."

Hardy simply refused.

Johnson persuaded: "Your identity is more suitable for this matter than anyone else. I will support you if you need anything, including military and political aspects. Southeast Asia is a big place and there are always more places to make money than Hong Kong, right."

Hardy pretended to think, "Indeed, Hong Kong is too small and there is no place to build factories, especially the heavy industry has no room for development, and some are not suitable for Japan."

"Well, let me pay attention by the way, you know that I am actually not interested in politics." Hardy said very white lotus.

In fact, I was very happy.

With today's sentence, if Hardy does anything in Southeast Asia in the future, it is equivalent to the permission of the US government, no one will doubt.

night.

Johnson invited Hardy to dinner at the White House. Hardy saw the president’s wife Beth Truman. The first lady had a very good impression of Hardy, because she knew that Hardy was the first person to help her husband sincerely and help him win general election.

Hardy was very good at making women happy. He didn't talk about politics anymore during dinner, but talked about TV shows, new dramas, and short stuff such as cosmetics and clothes. The dinner atmosphere was very good.

When Hardy left, the first lady and Truman sent Hardy out together and told Hardy to come over when she had time. Next time, she could cook by herself.

......

A few days later.

The Pentagon issued an order.

Major Williams was appointed as the acting director of the U.S. Army Logistics Administration, and he was responsible for the overall affairs of the U.S. Logistics Administration before Lieutenant General Johnson resumed.

In fact, many people understand that it is almost impossible for Lieutenant General Jason to return to work. Unless God appears, Williams said that he is the acting director. It is estimated that he will be corrected and become the next official director of the Logistics Bureau in a short time.

Many people congratulated Williams on his promotion.

Hardy also flew from Las Vegas to Fort Bayver, Virginia. Williams saw Hardy and gave Hardy a big hug.

"Thank you Hardy, it's all your credit." Williams said.

"No, you are indeed suitable for this position."

The two found a secluded place, had a good drink, and chatted while drinking, Williams said: "Hadi, in a few days I am going to reform the logistics supplier system to allow more private capital to enter."

"The current logistics system is too complicated. The more complicated the system, the more difficult it is to manage. In fact, if you use a supplier like Hardy's chain store, three or four are enough. We place an order and you are responsible for customizing and providing it, which is simple and efficient. "

"There is also the issue of material transportation in overseas military bases that you mentioned to me before. The logistics department maintains its own transportation system. The cost is very high. In fact, it is far inferior to leasing. So I plan to outsource part of the transportation of materials to overseas military bases."

Needless to say,

This live Hardy Shipping is very suitable to do.

Repaying the benefits of rewards is the benefit of helping him rise to power. This kind of exchange is very direct but also very effective.

Hardy raised his glass, touched Williams, and said with a smile: "General, have you heard of my Cayman Islands?"

"I saw it in the Global Times and said that there is no tax there, is that right?" Williams said.

"Yes, corporate tax, personal income tax, inheritance tax, etc. are all included. There is no tax. The seven major consortiums have opened more than 5,000 companies there, and there are more than a dozen financial institutions. Funds are exchanged easily, and they are very useful. Assure."

"The most important thing is that all company registrant information is confidential. No one knows who it is. Digital accounts can be used for bank accounts, as long as they know the account password. There is also a trust fund. Here, including myself and my family, can benefit forever."

Williams' eyes brightened as he listened.

Hardy approached Williams and lowered his voice: "The share of the sales of logistics equipment is now more than 6 million. I put it all in Wells Fargo Bank in the Cayman Islands."

Williams breathed a little bit faster.

The funds he manages are hundreds of millions and billions of dollars, and he has never moved his heart because the money belongs to the public.

And this 6 million is completely his personal assets.

Although he is now the director of logistics and the rank of major general, his salary is only more than six hundred dollars a month.

The wages of the US military are not high now. The average soldier is $50 a month, the second lieutenant is 150, the lieutenant is 166, the captain is 200, the major is $250, the lieutenant colonel is $291.67, the colonel is $333.33, the brigadier is $500, and the major general is $666. .

Even a five-star general like MacArthur has a monthly salary of only $1,125.

This huge sum of six million can guarantee that he will continue to live a luxurious life after retirement.

Even if the money cannot be used in the United States, but it can be used in other places, it is still very fragrant to go to Europe for consumption.

Hardy continued:

"Registering a company in the Cayman Islands, you can hide information. I have an idea~www.readwn.com~ You can start a company in Cayman in the name of your wife or your child, make a sum of money, and then I will help you Use this money to invest."

"The Hardy supermarket chain, Hardy Shipping Company, even if it only buys a few percent of the shares, believe me Williams, this stock will be very valuable in the future." Hardy said.

Williams' eyes gleamed when he listened.

He is convinced of Hardy's ability to make money, and Hardy supermarket chain and Hardy Shipping Company will cooperate with the U.S. Logistics Bureau in the future, and he believes it will be very profitable.

"How about using my son's name?" Williams said.

"Of course it's okay." Hardy nodded with a smile.

As for the specific details, come back later.

In fact, doing business is the distribution of benefits. Don't think about monopolizing all the benefits. You may get it once, but never a second time.

For partners, if you want to balance the benefits, you can take the big picture, but you must also set aside profits for others, so that it can last for a long time.
