Hardy Empire 1945

"Do you need to film today? Do you have time to show me the surrounding scenery?" Hardy said to Ava.

Ava knows what the man thinks and smiles playfully.

"The actor needs to ask the director for leave when going out, but I don't know if the director will let him go." Ava frowned pretendingly.

"It's really a big problem to ask for leave with the director. How about we elope." Hardy whispered.

"Elopement?" Ava's eyes lit up.

"Yes, elope."

The two sneaked out of the room, cautiously came to the car, opened the door and entered quietly, and drove out slowly.

Matthew looked at Henry, "The boss drove away, do you want to keep up?"

Henry smiled and continued to lie in the shade, "The boss is going to have a tryst with his lover, aren't you afraid of being beaten up with you?"

"What if it's dangerous."

"If we attack him together, we may not be able to kill the boss. How dangerous do you think he can be? By the way, I watched the crew filming a horse war, so let's play with two horses."

"Okay~!"

Hardy drove the car on the wide road.

The window opens.

Ava's long hair couldn't help flying because of the wind.

"Where are you taking me to elope?" Ava asked, looking at Hardy.

"Go to a place with a bed."

In a town dozens of miles away, they found a Mexican-style hotel. The low dirt house was very clean and surrounded by flowers. What is rare is that there are hot springs here.

The men and women who had been separated for a few months lingered in the room endlessly.

......

David Wash drove the car, and his mood gradually calmed down after going out for dozens of miles. Thinking of the humiliation just now, feeling the mud on his butt, David Wash gritted his teeth and patted the steering wheel hard.

"Damn, I want revenge."

He used to be a famous playboy.

Now that he inherits the family property, although the company's efficiency is not good, he is still a rich man.

Who is that man holding Ava's hand?

He only said that he was a producer.

He has such a powerful bodyguard, it is estimated that he is not an ordinary person, he is going to go back and investigate it before taking action.

But for the **** woman named Ava.

From the beginning to the end, I was very indifferent to myself, and I ignored how many times I went to show my courtesy. It turned out that there was a man a long time ago.

Not just a little star who sang a song.

If it weren't for Lao Tzu who wants to eat something fresh, thinking you are in love with you.

He suddenly thought of the previous report on Ava, as if the reporters still couldn't find her now, David guessed what mysterious propaganda strategy should be used.

Want to hide,

Humph,

Destroy if you don't get it.

I will expose you now.

He twisted his hips, feeling very uncomfortable, speeded up the accelerator to drive into the city, and arrived in Albuquerque an hour later, hurriedly plunged into the hotel and took a shower.

Throwing his clothes into the trash can, came to the table and picked up the phone.

"Hey, is it the Los Angeles Times? I have a news to you. Didn't your newspaper say that many people are looking for Ava Gardner? I know her news..."

Some time ago, Scarborough Fair just came out and it was very popular, and then because of the lack of good publicity, the popularity gradually decreased, but people are still curious about singer Ava Gardner.

As soon as the Los Angeles Times heard about Ava, he immediately became interested, "If Mr. can give us the exact news, we can pay a $50 bonus."

Originally, David Wash just wanted to expose Ava, but when he heard there was a bonus, his greedy personality broke out, and he reported his name and mailing address.

Then tell the other party Ava's intelligence.

......

The next day.

Hardy and Ava return to the crew.

Today there is another scene for Ava. Hardy sat next to director Nolan and watched the actors perform. At this moment, two reporters walked into the filming base.

When they saw Ava, one of the reporters raised the camera and took photos, while the other hurried forward and asked questions with a notebook.

"Is it Miss Ava Gardner? We are reporters at the Los Angeles Times reporter station in New Mexico. We finally found you. Since you released Scarborough Fair, it has attracted countless people’s pursuit, but Can't be traced to you."

"Miss Ava, can I ask you some questions, please..."

Ava was questioned for a while.

Somewhat at a loss.

This is the first time she has been interviewed by a reporter.

Director Nolan saw this situation and immediately asked two reporters to stop, "We are filming, please don't disturb the actors, and how did you find this place."

Hardy once said to Nolan before that Ava’s singing is a publicity strategy, and he plans to announce Ava’s identity before the film is shown, attracting a wave of attention to build momentum for the film, but he was discovered by reporters now.

One of the reporters immediately said: "We only learned that Miss Ava was here after receiving a clue from a clue person."

Hardy remained silent beside him.

Hearing what he thought of here, he asked: "Is it the news that I got yesterday?"

"Yes, it was indeed yesterday, so we came today, and I hope Miss Ava will accept our exclusive interview."

"Can you tell me who broke the news?" Hardy said.

"No, the newspaper must keep secrets for those who provide clues." The reporter said.

In fact, not to mention that Hardy has already guessed who it is. It has been kept secret for such a long time. It was only revealed yesterday that it must be the rich second generation yesterday.

Everyone looked at Hardy. He is the backbone of this place. Hardy's mind turned. He had concealed Ava for the promotion of the movie before. Since it has been found by reporters, the report will be reported. It doesn't matter.

"The crew first stop, let Ava accept the interview first."

The crew all stopped and rested next to each other.

Hardy took Ava to the side to explain, other questions can be answered, but the songwriter should not tell them, keep it secret for the time being.

When the reporters interviewed Ava, Ava had already calmed down. Faced with questions and answered appropriately, the reporter would inevitably ask the songwriter. Ava smiled and said that she kept it secret for the time being.

When answering the question, don’t forget to promote the new movie.

The reporter finally knew that this movie was called "Red Dead Redemption".

The reporter in charge of taking pictures took two full rolls of film for Ava before he stopped with satisfaction. The interview was full of rewards, and the two reporters left happily.

Hardy looked at the reporter who was leaving and told Henry: "You go to the city, contact Lanster, and ask him to investigate all the intelligence of the guy named David Wash."

"Good boss."

Although the other party's behavior did not cause any harm to him, he still felt offended. Who knows if he will cause trouble to himself in the future.

the next day.

Henry came back from the city.

"Boss, the situation of David Walsh has been investigated clearly. David Walsh's father is the owner of a mining company, named Walsh Mining, with total assets of about 3 million US dollars."

"A few years ago, David Wash’s father died and the company was left to him. In fact, when the old Walsh was in business, the company was in trouble and sold a lot of shares. Now David Wash still has the company in his hands. 34% of the shares."

"The mining company has been in the hands of David Wash in the past few years, and the business has gone from bad to worse. Now the stock price has fallen to 32 cents per share, which is a junk stock. At the shareholders meeting, many shareholders said that David Wash would give up the chairmanship. Shi himself was unwilling to give up, saying at that time that he would be given another two years to stabilize the shareholders."

"David Walsh found a scholar who studies mining. The scholar told him that Arizona has the most copper mines. His research on the veins will definitely continue to the neighboring New Mexico. There should be a large area near San Andres Mountain. Mineral veins."

“Last year, David Walsh borrowed 200,000 yuan in the name of the company to purchase an 8,000 acres of mountainous land near San Andres Mountain, and took the prospecting team there to look for mines, but so far there is no good news.”

After hearing the information, Hardy smiled.

That David Walsh is just a conceited **** who doesn't understand management.

"Boss, if you see that guy is upset, I will kill him now." Matthew looked at Hardy and said.

Hardy shook his head.

"Matthew, we are legitimate businessmen. How can we scream and kill casually? I have a better way to deal with such people."

"What way?" Henry asked curiously.

"Do you know how to torture a listed company?" Hardy asked the two.

The two shook their heads together.

Hardy knows a lot of ways to toss a listed company.

Not to mention that it is still in the 40s.

Even in the 21st century, with extremely complete regulations, there are still many ways to toss a listed company.

For example, when sitting on the roof of a car, a certain Ben evaporates billions, such as when the car cannot be stopped, and a certain special evaporates tens of billions.

Hardy and Ava bid farewell. Ava was very unwilling to give up. The two ran to the hot spring hotel for another day, and then Hardy drove back to Los Angeles.

"Has the investigation of the Walsh Mining shareholder's situation been clear?" Hardy asked when he came back to see Lanster.

Yesterday he ran to play with Ava and called Lanster to collect information.

"The investigation is clear." Lanster handed a detailed share list to Hardy.

Walsh Mining now has a total market value of 1.83 million, 35% of outstanding shares, and a stock price of US$0.31, which is one point lower than when Hardy asked two days ago.

"Lanster~www.novelmt.com~ I remember the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Financial News. We have a few pictures of him, right?" Hardy asked.

"Yes, there is a picture of him."

"It's time to enable him."

Hardy used these two days to purchase a shell mining company, register it as his own company, and name it ‘HD Mining’.

The company's business scope includes mining development, processing, and sales, including gold, iron, coal, copper, aluminum, nickel, magnesium...

at the same time,

In a securities company, he opened more than 40 accounts under his hand, and each account was injected with a range of 4000 to 6000, and he found an institution to short Walsh Mining.

everything's ready.

Early this morning.

The Los Angeles Financial News published an analytical article in the second page:

"On geologist Professor Michael De Guzman's copper mine extension theory, it will ruin the future of mining companies."

"In the middle of 1945, geologist Professor Michael De Guzman published a paper entitled "The Rocky Mountain Vein Deposit Extension Demonstration". Professor De Guzman said that Arizona had discovered the largest number of copper mines in the United States. On the other side of New Mexico, there should also be copper ore and associated ore with the same reserves."

"Because of this theory, many mining companies have bought land in New Mexico to look for mineral veins, but they have not found anything in the past six months or so, not even ordinary copper mines, let alone super-large veins."

"In fact, this theory of Professor De Guzman is based on hypotheses and conjectures, without any real-time support. For example, Walsh Mining in San Francisco purchased 8,000 acres of land in New Mexico, invested a lot of manpower and material resources to find, and now even a piece of high-quality copper None of the mines were found. They had just obeyed Professor De Guzman's theory at the beginning, and I am afraid they will lose everything in the future."
