Hardy Empire 1945

Time flies into June.

The Japanese singer contest started the audition, and the ABC Tokyo TV building became very lively, and countless people came to participate in the audition.

According to TV station statistics.

The number of applicants exceeds 3,000.

Every night the TV station will broadcast the audition, and the singer contest program has attracted the attention of the entire Japanese people.

"Hello everyone, my name is Misora ​​Hibari, I am 13 years old, and I am from Isogo District, Yokohama City." The little girl said sweetly to the camera.

"My name is Aoki Aiko and I am from Tokyo." A beautiful girl bowed to the camera.

"My name is Saotome Masako."

"I am Yumiko Araki, from Saga Prefecture, Kyushu..."

......

Hardy didn't pay too much attention to this. He came to Hong Kong again. Han Yezhen was six months pregnant, and her lower abdomen was already obviously bulging.

Hardy touched his stomach, and sometimes the little guy in his stomach moved. Although he hadn't met yet, Hardy already felt connected.

I already knew the child's gender. It was a boy. It was not that Hardy and Han Yezhen deliberately wanted to ask, but a few masters of Chinese medicine gave Han Yezhen an examination, and they said casually, because boys and girls have different maintenance methods.

"What do you think our son will be called in the future?" Han Yizhen asked.

Hardy thought for a while.

"The English name is Byrne Hardy. Byrne means mountain. I hope his body is as strong as a mountain and his character is as strong as a mountain." Hardy said.

Han Yezhen is very satisfied with the name, especially the child's surname is Hardy.

"As for the Chinese name, it's An Feng, Xiao Ming Xiaoming."

Han Yezhen was a little surprised, "Why is the surname Ann?"

"Because I once gave myself a Chinese name, An Yi, so my child's Chinese name is An." Hardy said.

......

Hardy brought Han Yizhen to the museum. The museum has been completely completed. The main two floors of the ground cover a huge area of ​​more than 40,000 square meters, which is almost the same as the Louvre.

The cultural relics began to be displayed inside. During this time, Han Yezhen was doing these. How to set up the artworks is a matter of university.

The biggest nature is the ‘Chinese Art Gallery’, which is divided into a painting hall, a sculpture hall, a ceramic hall, a bronze hall, etc., mainly focusing on Chinese art.

Han Yezhen also wants to get a Western art museum. All foreign museums have oriental art museums, which store a large number of oriental cultural relics. Why can't their museums have a ‘Western art museum’.

Western art galleries are divided into Greco-Roman art galleries, Egyptian art galleries, and European art galleries. Of course, they have to display those that can see the light.

Hardy Auctions has also opened many stores in Europe. During this time, it has acquired a lot of Greek, Roman, and European art.

Now that life in Europe is not easy, it is a good time to buy Western art, how could Hardy let it go.

At this moment, Hardy and Han Yizhen are walking in the Home Furnishing Gallery of the China Art Museum. Here are all antique furniture from China, mostly precious woods such as red sandalwood and yellow pear. Step bed and so on.

With exquisite craftsmanship and complicated carvings, Hardy said that these antique furniture can be sold for more than 10 million in future generations.

And many come from the palace and palace, which is even more precious.

These furniture were only recently shipped from the east, and they are considered part of the purchase price. Recently, smuggling to the north has become more and more frantic, not only by water but also by land.

Now I can’t get things like U.S. dollars and gold, and some national treasures are not easy to sell. Later, I heard that I wanted furniture here, and I got a lot of them, and most of them were fine products, just to sell them well. Price.

Hardy met Huo Qingdong the day after he came to Hong Kong.

Huo Qingdong reported on the situation during this period. Now there are a lot of things that are needed there, including electronic products, precision instruments, mechanical equipment, rubber, machine tools, spare parts, chemicals, petroleum equipment, and petrol and diesel fuel.

Hardy said heartily.

If you want electronic products and precision instruments, you don’t need to make some bombs.

After visiting several museums, Hardy and Han Yezhen went to the underground vault again. Now there are more treasures stored in the vault. The gold has increased to 80 tons. Some of them are shipped from Japan and some are traded from the United States. Hardy Has already begun to exchange for gold slowly.

The US dollar and gold price ratio is now very fixed. An ounce of gold is 35 US dollars. This price will remain until the Bretton Woods system collapses in the 1970s. This time is not suitable for gold speculation, but it is very suitable for hoarding gold.

He has a bank, and it is very suitable to use gold as a bank's capital reserve. The converted gold is stored here. As for the numbers still lying on the bank account, foreign loans can be circulated, which has no effect on Wells Fargo Bank.

There are more antiques in the warehouse, almost all of them come from Japan. During this time, the business of Japanese antiques mortgages for financial investment has become more and more prosperous, not only in Tokyo, but now has spread throughout Japan.

There are more than 300,000 antiques here.

In addition, there is a warehouse dedicated to storing antique furniture. Almost all of these are shipped from the east. There is no money in the east to use this to offset the account. If you don’t want them, there is no money. Hardy asked them to accept them. These are worthless now, but It will be invaluable in the future.

Another thing is that a large amount of Hetian jade and jade were shipped from the east. Later, I heard that the production areas of these two jade were liberated, and then specially organized people to start digging, so now the shipment volume has suddenly increased.

Hardy was surprised, and Hetian Yu was fortunate to say, could it be that the jade was also liberated, was it because he needed it, was it because he changed a bit of history?

I don't want that much.

Don't talk about politics.

Except for the United States and Japan.

......

Hardy Group's Hong Kong headquarters building.

It now governs all Hong Kong businesses under the Hardy Group in Hong Kong. Victor is the president of Hong Kong Hardy Group in Hong Kong.

Since Britain recognized the status of the East, the crisis in Hong Kong has temporarily passed, the market situation has stabilized, and Hong Kong has once again prospered.

In the office, Victor reported to Hardy the situation of various companies in Hong Kong in the past six months.

Today, Hardy Group owns an industrial zone in Hong Kong with 129 companies in it. All of these companies have shares in Hardy Group, and they are all operating well now.

Now the pharmaceutical factory has added a large number of health products in addition to the "Shenxian Pill", such as seal pill, deep-sea fish oil capsule, ginseng qi capsule, cordyceps and American ginseng capsule, oral liquid for women and so on.

There are Indian **** oils for external use.

In fact, this thing is not made in India from beginning to end. The origin is in Hong Kong, but it will not appear until the 1960s.

In addition, the Institute of Chinese Medicine also produced a bunch of external products, such as Huatuo hemorrhoid cream, rhinitis spray, mosquito repellent cooling oil, acne soap and so on.

These health products are now gradually opening up the market in the United States.

Victor also reported that the sales of Shenxian pills and Indian oil are also very good in Japan, especially in the red light district.

The Hong Kong Racecourse has been built, and now it has formed a consortium with the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Several races have been held here, but the gambling has not yet been officially launched.

"Don't worry, I will talk about it when it stabilizes. Now we will focus on establishing contacts. It will be a matter of time to make money." Hardy said.

Last year, because of fear of calling from the east, many people sold real estate and land to sell companies. The Hardy Group took the opportunity to acquire a large number of properties. Now the hoarded real estate and land are managed by a special real estate company.

"Boss, these properties and land, because they are in a hurry to sell, we kept the price down very low, and now they have recovered, they have doubled or even increased in value several times." Victor smiled.

This is the benefit of venture capital.

The financial crisis is not a disaster for those who are rich, but a feast. They can absorb a lot of assets while they are low, and after a little recovery, they can make several times the profit. This business is more profitable than any business.

certainly,

This is a test of eyesight, strength and courage.

"Is there financial pressure?" Hardy asked.

"All loans are from Wells Fargo Bank and HSBC. My own bank is very convenient. Now the loan amount in Hong Kong has reached 36 million U.S. dollars." Victor said.

Naturally, having more fixed assets has advantages, but the disadvantage is that it takes up more funds.

......

Lived in Hong Kong for a few days.

The company was inspected.

This morning I was eating breakfast, and the housekeeper came over with a newspaper, "Master, this is the latest newspaper today. Today’s front-page news says that there is another war."

Hardy's heart moved.

After the newspaper opened, the headline headline of the Global Times, "A large-scale war broke out on the peninsula again."

It was written in the newspaper.

Today, Foxiaoshi is very small, and the North has launched a large-scale offensive against the South, and the Peninsular War has officially started.

Hardy said in his heart that what should happen or happened.

The wheel of history is rolling forward, and not a few people can change it.

I think the East will join the war in a few months.

Before, I asked Huo Qingdong to smuggle what they needed to the east, and interviewed MacArthur to publicly announce the deployment of all US troops in the Far East.

I did everything I should do.

As for the rest, you only need to be yourself. The history is turbulent, and you are just a businessman, so you can live your life well.

Han Yizhen looked at Hardy's face somewhat solemnly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hardy put down the newspaper and smiled lightly, "It's okay, let's eat."

After breakfast, the two took a walk in the yard. Han Yezhen has been for more than six months and needs to walk frequently to help the fetus grow.

Calculated according to time, the child was conceived by Hardy when he came over on Christmas, and the delivery period should be in September.

"Yejin, did you give birth here or go back to America?" Hardy asked.

Han Yezhen thought for a while, "I'd better stay here. In fact, the Western medical technology of St. Mary's Hospital is not worse than that of the United States, and there are Dr. Zheng and others here."

"My mom and dad already knew about my pregnancy and childbirth. Mom was going to come and accompany me when I had a baby and take care of the baby together. She also wants to live in Hong Kong for a while. After all, my grandpa is here, maybe my dad will also come over."

It seems that Han Yezhen has already arranged it, and Hardy has no need to call her back to the United States. To be honest, the conditions for Han Yezhen in Hong Kong are much better than those in the United States.

"Well, I will try my best to come and accompany you when the child is born." Hardy said and kissed Han Yezhen on the forehead.

A few days later.

Hardy bid farewell to Han Yezhen to leave Hong Kong and return to Japan.

The situation on the peninsula is developing very fast, and in only two and a half days, the southern capital was occupied.

This incident caused a great shock in the United States. To the south are their dogs. You can move at your fingertips, and there are also US troops stationed there. You are too courageous, and Johnson immediately joined the Far Eastern Army to assist in the battle.

Soon after,

The United Nations passed a resolution to form the United Nations army, led by the US military, and 15 countries including Britain, Turkey, Canada, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, France, the Philippines, Greece, Belgium, Colombia, Ethiopia, Luxembourg, and South Africa participated.

MacArthur was appointed commander of the Far Eastern Army.

Hardy doesn't care about these things. He doesn't have any ability on military matters. He is concerned about another matter.

The war is fighting logistics.

Now the war machine is suddenly activated, and a large amount of supplies is needed. As the forward base of the United States, Japan has naturally become the best source of supply.

The US Congress also made a decision to purchase Japanese supplies.

In the original history, Japanese companies received this order and quickly recovered, which directly caused the subsequent recovery of the Japanese economy. Now these orders will naturally fall into the hands of Hardy, who controls the Japanese economy.

Nowadays.

Lieutenant General Williams, Chief of the US Army Logistics Administration, Major General Sutherland, Chief of Staff of the Far East Army, and Japanese Economic Special Envoy Jon Hardy sat together.

Lieutenant General Williams looked at Sutherland, then at Hardy, and said with a smile: "President Johnson asked me to come to Japan personally to organize the materials used by the Far Eastern Army. Except for weapons, most of the materials used by the Far Eastern Army must be purchased in Japan. "

"I don't know how long the war will take. It is only the first order. The Congress has approved 2 billion in funding, including weapons, ammunition, equipment, fuel, and logistics materials."

"I think it is a very exhausting thing to decentralize purchasing from one household to another. It is better to find one or several powerful companies to take charge of unified purchasing. What do you think of Sutherland."

Sutherland Chief of Staff smiled, "Of course I have no objection. As long as I get the materials I need, everything else is subject to the arrangements of the Logistics Bureau."

Lieutenant General Williams looked at Hardy, "Hadi, I think in Japan, you are the most suitable candidate."

"Hehe, I'm happy to take over this business." Hardy said.

Hardy knows that these 2 billion are just the beginning.

The entire war was fought on and off for three years. According to statistics from later generations, the US military directly spent more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. After Japan became a supply base, Japan made a lot of money and recovered from its original vitality.

It even gained some political resources.

Because Japan still had a military factory in the previous life, Japan also produced ammunition for the US military nearby.

now.

The control of Japanese companies is in the hands of Hardy and the seven consortiums. Now Japan only has light industry and cannot produce ammunition, so the ammunition for the US military can only be shipped from the country.

certainly,

The arms companies in the United States are very happy about this and do not need to be taken away by the Japanese for their own interests.

As for Japan.

I am afraid that I will never earn as much money from this war as in my previous life, and most of it will be taken by Hardy and the Seven Consortiums.

"The materials provided for the military must be of the highest quality, so the price may be higher." Hardy smiled.

Williams nodded, "Quality is the most important thing."

Sutherland also nodded.

"When I was a soldier, I ate enough war rations. After World War II ended, it took a long time for the remaining rations to be processed. I believe that no one of our soldiers wants to eat those rations again~www.readwn.com~ I think there is. It is necessary to provide them with better food supplies." Hardy said again.

"Oh, how do you supply it?" Williams said.

"Only a part of the ration box is prepared. It is best to produce cooked food. Fresh food can meet the needs of the soldiers. Even hot dogs are better than the ration box. Hardy's company has designed a catering cart that can make bread and sandwiches on site. , Hot dogs, and can also make hot coffee and beverages. The military can purchase this kind of dining car." Hardy said.

"It's a good idea, look back and take a look." Williams said.

"War is very boring. In air-raid shelters or military camps, it will last a long time. The soldiers should have some entertainment. I think they need a lot of Playboy magazines." Hardy said.

"This can be there too."

......

In war, willpower is very important. A group of spoiled soldiers will make noise without eating hot dogs or hot coffee. They will leave Japan’s red-light district feasting life and suffer from freezing and starvation in the severe cold. It is estimated that when they see playboys, they will miss Japan more. Warm place.
