Hardy Empire 1945

In fact, Hardy can use some unconventional methods, such as kidnapping Edward Noble, forcing him to sign a transfer agreement, and then accidentally disappear.

But this idea only flashed through Hardy's mind before he rejected it.

This time it is a legitimate business. To do a legitimate business, you must abide by the rules of a legitimate business. If you blindly use gangster methods, you will eventually become more and more black.

No one is a fool. This kind of method can be easily seen by others. Knowing that you use such a drastic method, all businessmen will reject you. Don't even think about gaining a foothold in the business field in the future.

In the underworld.

Drastic measures can be used.

Because that is the law of the underworld's style of survival.

in the right way,

Do business in the right way.

Andy, you take people to Illinois to negotiate with Edward Noble, Henry, you take more people, on the one hand to protect Andy's safety, on the other hand, use investigative methods to investigate Edward Noble's situation, for Andy They provide information support.

OK!

The two answered together.

Andy and Henry got their hands ready and chartered a plane to Springfield on HD Airlines the next day.

Springfield is next to the Great Lakes, with beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. This is the capital of Illinois. There are two most famous things here. One is the hometown of Lincoln, and the other is the Springfield rifle, also known as the Springfield rifle. .

After Andy and Henry got off the plane, they first found a hotel to stay in, and Henry took people out directly.

I bought two cars and a van, took out the phone company logo I prepared in advance from the box, and pasted it on the van, and the van immediately became a telephone repair van.

Edward Noble had a manor house on the outskirts of the city, and it was easy to inquire about it. Henry and the others drove to the neighborhood and began to fiddle with the telephone line, connecting the instrument to the line, so that they could directly monitor the other party's phone call.

Listen to the useful phone, and the useless phone will emit interference signals, making the Noble family feel that the phone is broken.

Mrs. Noble called her friends to come over to play cards, but several calls were filled with harsh noises.

This made Mrs. Noble very angry, and immediately called the telephone company.

The phone was connected quickly.

Hello, is it the telephone company? Thumb up~~ Mrs. Noble asked angrily.

I'm the phone company, what's the matter? Prickly prickly~~

What's the matter, don't you hear such a loud noise on the phone? I pay so much phone bills every month, so I enjoy this kind of service. Hurry up and send someone to fix it. Mrs. Noble said angrily .

Okay, we'll send someone to repair it right away, tell me the address. The other end of the phone said.

Mrs. Noble gave her address and put down the phone, Henry on the other end of the phone also put down the phone, and winked at the staff next to her.

Go, help Mrs. Noble fix the phone. Henry said with a smile.

Not half an hour later, a van with the logo of the telephone company drove into the Noble Manor, and the guards hurriedly took them in.

There are a total of 5 phones in the Noble family. Henry and the others checked each phone and left a small device in the handset of each phone.

Henry and the others checked very carefully. After checking the phone and the line, they finally smiled and said to Mrs. Noble:

This beautiful lady, I checked the phone for you. There are some minor problems with the wiring, and the connection is poor. The problem has been solved. Henry said.

Mrs. Noble was very satisfied with the service of the telephone company today, and gave Henry $2 as a tip. Henry accepted it with a smile and thanked her.

After Henry and the others left, they rented a house in the place where Noble's phone line passed by. The matter did not know when it would end, and there was a house where monitoring was more secure, so that it would be less likely to be discovered.

At Edward Noble's candy company, Henry led people to do the same thing, installing monitors on the phones.

The monitor is not big, and the power is provided by the phone. Even if you don't pick up the phone, you can hear the people in the room clearly.

It is definitely a normal business method for Henry and the others to monitor and obtain useful business information.

everything's ready.

Andy called Edward Noble to show that he wanted to acquire ABC radio station on behalf of his employer. Edward Noble was not a little surprised, and the two parties agreed to meet at the candy company office.

Andy walked into the candy company chairman's office, and Noble smiled and shook his hand.

Mr. Noble, let me introduce myself. My name is Andy, and I am Mr. Jon Hardy's economic advisor. I am here to represent Mr. Jon Hardy and talk to Mr. Noble about the ABC TV station. .”

Jon Hardy? Is it Jon Hardy, the owner of Playboy? Noble asked.

That's right, Mr. Jon Hardy, the owner of Playboy.

Now Playboy magazine is becoming more and more famous. In the past, people would call Andy the boss of HD Security, the boss of HD Film Industry, but now more people call him the boss of Playboy, and most of them are men.

What does this mean.

It means that these men all watch Playboy.

Don't doubt it.

Maybe the current president of the United States is peeking.

Noble asked Andy to sit down, and Andy said: Our boss owns HD Films and is also very interested in the broadcasting company, so he wants to buy the ABC radio station in Mr. Noble's hands. I don't know what Mr. Noble will do. ?”

How much do you bid? Noble asked simply.

We bid 10 million.

Noble immediately shook his head, Your quotation is too low. Someone once offered 14 million and I didn't agree. How could I sell you 10 million.

Andy is not in a hurry. The other party's words are a normal means of business negotiation, which means that someone has offered a higher price, which makes you feel nervous.

4 years ago, you bought BlueNet with 8 million yuan. In the past few years, BlueNet has not had any development, and its ratings are almost zero. Now that the equipment is being updated very quickly, BlueNet's equipment is gradually becoming obsolete and will only depreciate more and more.

You and I both know that the most valuable thing about ABC is the agreement with other TV stations. It is because of that agreement that we are willing to pay 10 million US dollars.

Noble waved his hand.

I understand his value in my heart. No matter how you devalue it, I think he is definitely worth the price. Now that there are more and more TV users, TV broadcasting will definitely develop very well in the future. This is why you bought ABC, isn't it? .”

Noble is a shrewd businessman, how could he be fooled by the other party's few words, he has his own bottom line in mind.

Mr. Noble, whether it is 10 million or 14 million, this is a big deal. We have organized a negotiating team and hope to start formal negotiations with Mr. Noble. What do you think? Andy said.

Yes, but you have to wait for three days. My economic lawyer is out on business, and I don't think he will be back until the day after tomorrow.

No problem, then we'll see you in three days. Andy smiled and got up to leave.

 …

After sending Andy away, Noble sat in the office chair and pondered for a long time, and finally picked up the phone and dialed out.

Hello, is this Mr. Alderman? I'm Noble. I have something to tell you. There are two other companies competing to acquire ABC Broadcasting Corporation. I decided to organize a formal negotiation with the three of you. , Whoever sells it at the highest price. Noble said.

Alderman, the owner of the Pegasus Rubber Tire Factory, frowned upon hearing Noble's words, Noble, we are old acquaintances, isn't the price of 11.5 million not enough? You have already earned 3.5 million at this price.

Noble chuckled, No, I believe someone is higher than you. The day after tomorrow, formal negotiations will be held in the conference room of the Xiangge Hotel in Springfield. If you come over, let's talk together. This time I have made up my mind If you want to sell, if you don’t come, you won’t have a chance.”

Hanging up Alderman's phone, Noble called Paramount again, and Paramount chairman Leonard Gordonson answered the phone, and Noble shared what he had said to the owner of Pegasus Tires to the chairman of Paramount. Say it again.

three days

Only three days.

If you don't come to participate in the negotiation, I'm afraid you will have no chance.

Noble’s idea is very simple. He no longer intends to keep the ABC broadcasting company in his hands. What Andy said is right. ABC is now an empty shelf, with no personnel and no programs. The equipment is getting old year by year. The only valuable thing is the so-called blue network.

If I keep it in my hands for a few more years, who knows what changes will happen. If a few more TV stations appear at that time to replace the blue network, then ABC is really worthless. Now, while he can still sell Sell ​​him quickly for a good price.

This time the boss of Playboy came to him, which is also an opportunity for him. Pegasus tires bid 11.5 million, and Paramount bid 11 million. He knows that Jon Hardy is more powerful than the above two. His businessman's mind Outburst, ready to call the three together to bid, so that he can sell a higher price.

Noble returned home and shared his thoughts with his wife during dinner. Mrs. Noble asked, Then what is the price in your heart?

Hehe, naturally the higher the better, as for the base price, it can't be less than 12 million, and it's best to sell it for 13 million.

But he didn't know that Henry's people listened to his phone calls and conversations with his wife and passed them on to Andy.

It is not uncommon for Noble to let the three companies bid together and raise the purchase price. It is not uncommon in business, and Andy was not surprised.

However, if the three companies bid together, I am afraid that the price will not be easy to control.

I'll call the boss and talk about the situation here.

Andy called Hardy and told Hardy the situation here. Hardy thought for a while and said to Andy: You give the phone to Henry.

Henry answered the phone, and Hardy gave him instructions.

Yeah, I know the boss.

the next afternoon.

Another plane flew from Los Angeles to Springfield, Richard with his sniper team, and Matthew with his combat team.

Hardy didn't mean anything else, it was just a normal business method. \u003c/div\u003e
