Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 204 This young man is so shameless

After the victory of World War II, we are the biggest beneficiary country. There is no doubt about this. People like stable life.

With the abundance of materials, people will pursue a higher quality of life, and entertainment is indispensable. In the future, the development momentum of entertainment will still be rapid, and there is still a lot of room for making money in movies, TV, and records.

Oil will still be one of the most profitable industries in the future. At the same time, all chemical industries derived from petroleum will be used in a large amount for people's livelihood, as well as the automobile industry. At present, the number of automobiles only accounts for 5% of the national households, and this number will greatly increase in the future. , at least one car per family.

The military industry will definitely be highly valued by the government, because we rely on advanced weapons to win, and the government will want to maintain its advantage all the time, so it will not hesitate to invest in the military industry. Only the Ministry of Defense has an order, and I don't know how many companies to support. .

I think the export industry will be greatly improved. World War II has caused a great blow to many countries, such as our allies Britain and France. They need to rebuild. There is a huge demand for steel building materials, which will also drive domestic steel production. Increase, even if the price of steel increases, the steel output will increase and the mining industry will naturally develop and make more money.”

There are also Asian countries. After this war, the suppression of the country has suffered a huge disaster, and it will become a huge market for development in the future. You can consider the layout there in advance.

Amadi Janini looked at Hadi, trying to hide the shock in his eyes. What Hadi just said, many things coincided with the analysis of the Bank of America think tank.

There is no think tank yet, but as a super enterprise, Bank of America has also raised several think tanks. These think tanks are the predecessors of think tanks. They will analyze the future development trend through information on politics, economy, society, military, diplomacy, science and technology, etc. .

Giannini has always felt that these think tanks are very helpful to him and rely on them very much. A recent deduction made by the think tanks is the future direction of the US economy and future industrial development.

The forecasts of people's livelihood, entertainment, steel, building materials, automobiles, military industry and even exports mentioned by Hardy are almost similar to those of think tanks.

The old man was shocked that these predictions were the conclusions drawn by the think tank through a large amount of data and some internal government information provided by himself. He did not believe that Hadi could get so much information because he investigated Hadi and The government doesn't have that deep relationship yet.

But his analysis was so accurate, which showed that this young man's mind was simply too smart, his eyes were very sharp, and he could see so many situations.

No matter who it is, as long as you can see the direction in the next few years, even one or two years, and then firmly follow this path, I believe that you will make a lot of money. No wonder Hardy has achieved so much in just two years.

But Hardy said something different from what the think tanks analyzed.

It's about the situation in Asia.

They analyzed that Asia has no development prospects for at least 10 years, and it is not worth considering investment. Now the focus of Bank of America should be on the country, and a small amount on Europe.

In fact, the strategy of the vast majority of American companies is the same now.

Speaking of this, Hardy smiled and looked at Giannini: My previous industries were basically in these directions, ABC TV, film companies, airlines, Playboy magazines, TV companies, cosmetics. Companies, etc. These are all livelihood industries, and as long as these industries are more intensively cultivated, they still have a lot of room for development.”

Also, the gambling industry is also a big part of the development. I believe that in the future, Las Vegas will become a gambling city in the United States and even the world. As long as this famous brand is built, it can attract many tourists to come and spend. Definitely a lucrative industry and it will continue to grow.”

Giannini nodded, I know about your Hardy Hotel, to be honest, your business strategy has a lot of unique features, especially the trick of TV lottery draw and proxy investment company, which cleverly avoids the state's restrictions on lottery tickets. restraining order.

I heard that the TV lottery event now makes more money than the casino itself, is that so? Giannini asked.

It's true. Now it's basically stable at around $60,000 per draw, and the annual revenue exceeds 30 million. If you count the casino, it should be around 40 million. Hadi said.

Giannini said in his heart, my Bank of America, dozens of cooperative enterprises, the annual profit is only more than 200 million US dollars, you can achieve 40 million annual income in a small casino, how can such profits not make people jealous.

Hadi, when the new casino is built, will there be this project? Giannini asked.

Of course there is, but the use of TV station resources and agency investment companies will require additional fees. At that time, the management will negotiate with ABC TV stations and agency investment companies. Hardy said.

Giannini looked at Hardy and said in his heart that this young man is really a cunning fox, the management is yours, ABC TV station and the agency investment company are also yours, you negotiate with yourself, and finally the money goes into your own pocket , the calculation is really shrewd.

The old man looked at the time and said to Hardy, I will go for a walk in the yard every afternoon. The sun is very nice today, why don't we go for a walk?

Okay, Hardy said, standing up.

The two walked out of the house and came to the large garden outside. This large garden was connected to the hills behind, and the grass could not be seen at a glance.

The old man waved to the servant next to him, and soon the butler delivered a box. The old man opened the box and took out two trimmed cigars, one of which was handed to Hardy.

Come on one?

Hardy took the cigar and said with a smile, Davidoff, this cigar is famous because of Churchill.

Yes, I like the taste.

The two lit their cigars and walked slowly forward. The people around did not follow, but spread out to defend, at least 30 meters away from them.

Hady, do you know our Bank of America? Giannini asked.

I know some, of course, it's just the data you released to the public. Hardy said.

The old man smiled and said: Bank of America now has more than 400 bank branches, located in every city in the United States. Last year, our users reached 5 million, and the total bank assets reached 11.6 billion US dollars.

Total assets are not market capitalization, the current market capitalization of Bank of America is about $2 billion.

At the same time, Bank of America has also invested in a number of companies, Wells Fargo, Lockheed, Lytton Industries, and Northrop Grumman, all of which are military-industrial companies, and I believe they will have great good future.

Hardy said that they do have a great future. In the future, Lockheed will become the world's largest arms dealer, Northrop Grumman will be the second largest arms dealer in the world, and Lytton Industries will become the fourth largest in the United States. arms dealer.

“Bank of America has also invested in other banks, such as the Bank of San Francisco, the City Bank of Los Angeles, and Wells Fargo, and has also been involved in the insurance industry, mining industry, metal smelting, agricultural and sideline products, and counting all the partners, our scale has exceeded 20 billion US dollars.

In fact, the old man played a little trick here. He was talking about scale rather than assets. If the assets were less than 20 billion yuan, according to the information Henry gave him, the total assets of the California consortium are now more than 8 billion yuan. .

After all, some companies look very intimidating, but their scale is not large, and their total assets are only a few million tens of millions.

However, in this era, hundreds of millions of enterprises are already considered very remarkable enterprises.

After the old man said this, he seemed to want Hardy to digest it. He took a cigar and sprayed it out through his nose.

Hadi, are you interested in joining us? the old man finally asked.

Hardy knew that when he called himself out, it wasn't a walk at all, but he didn't want others to hear the conversation between the two. After all, their conversation might involve major investment projects, and if the news leaked, it might be affected.

When he came, Hardy had already guessed that the California consortium might win over him, and he had already made plans in his heart.

The California consortium belongs to the consortium developed after World War II. Now its strength is far less than that of later generations. It belongs to the early stage of its establishment. Joining at this time is regarded as the original stock obtained.

His industries are all on the West Coast, and the natural camp belongs to the California consortium. California consortium on.

There are many benefits to joining a consortium. The biggest purpose of the consortium is to integrate resources. The California consortium has almost monopolized most of the industries in California and even the West Coast. If you want to develop in the future, with the help of people from the consortium, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, your property must also benefit others.

This is a matter of mutual benefit, and it is impossible for you to get all the benefits alone.

Just give an example.

The construction of the Las Vegas casino this time requires hundreds of millions of investment. It needs a construction company, and a company that can use a consortium partner. It needs a lot of cement, steel bars, and wood. The consortium has these companies, and it needs a decoration company. There are also in the consortium.

Using the resources in the consortium saves money than finding someone else. When the funds are insufficient, you can delay the payment for a period of time, and you can also find a bank to dismantle it to tide over the difficulties.

You use a reassuring construction company, and your partner also makes money. Both parties are suitable. This is the so-called resource integration. In this group, it is difficult for others to join the company that you already have. This is formed under certain circumstances. monopoly.

certainly,

If you want to join a consortium, it is not so easy to join. You must reach a certain scale and be useful to the consortium.

In Hardy's current situation, there is something that the California consortium is very interested in.

ABC Television.

In a short period of time, it has become the TV station with the highest ratings in the United States. The California consortium is very interested in its publicity role. The development of the consortium cannot be separated from publicity. In the future, people who want to influence Washington and support themselves cannot do without publicity.

The California consortium wants to make ABC its own mouthpiece.

HD Security Company, which people didn't care too much about at first, has now become the largest security company in the United States, and Bank of America is now their customer.

The consortium is not interested in his ability to make money, but in this power.

Las Vegas casinos, everyone knows that Las Vegas casinos make money, especially after the opening of Hardy's Casino, people are more convinced of this. If you want to enter Las Vegas, you must get Hardy's consent.

Before Hardy, Las Vegas has been under the control of the Mafia, and it is now. No one can go deep into Las Vegas. Now Hardy is willing to let others in. This is definitely a great opportunity to make a fortune.

The more the consortium, the more eager for money.

Capitalists are crazy about money.

Another very important point is that Hardy controls the underground forces in Los Angeles. The two most important cities in California are San Francisco and Los Angeles. A king who controls the underground world, Giannini knows how much destructive power he has.

And it’s not just Los Angeles. He knows that Hardy’s newly built casino is cooperating with 15 Mafia families. This also means that Hardy maintains an inverse relationship with half of the Mafia. The Mafia families are located in the largest cities in the United States. Controlling the local underground forces, the California consortium partners may be able to get their help if they want to do business in those places.

When they want to enter a new market, businessmen are not afraid of business attacks from their opponents, because they know how to deal with them, and it is often the forces of gangs that prevent them from entering the local market smoothly.

The car blew up today.

The warehouse will be burnt tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, a group of people will come out and ask you for protection fees. If you don’t give money, you will make trouble, and your business will not be able to go on at all.

In the past, the California consortium was a pure commercial company. When they discovered Hardy, they were immediately attracted by these qualities in Hardy and decided to absorb him.

Hardy didn't answer right away.

Smoking a cigar and walking forward slowly, the old man is not in a hurry, he is very patient, stepping on the withered grass and walking beside him.

Mr. Giannini, I have a few things I want to ask you for help? Hardy finally said.

Oh, talk about it.

Hardy took a breath and said, I want you to help me acquire Wells Fargo Bank, which will be operated by Bank of America, and I don't have enough funds right now, so I don't want to move into other industries, so I hope you will lend me the acquisition funds.

Bank of America holds a 12% stake in Wells Fargo and is the second largest shareholder of Wells Fargo. Now Wells Fargo is only a small regional bank, and it has to be photographed behind the Bank of San Francisco and the City Bank of Los Angeles. There are only more than 30 bank branches. Distributed in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and other cities.

Now the market value is about 200 million yuan, and the total assets such as savings, loans and mortgages are about 1 billion yuan.

Hardy is not surprised that the old man wants to buy the bank, but the old man is surprised by what Hardy said to him.

Let Bank of America come forward to help with the acquisition.

And let Bank of America lend him money.

Is this young man ready to get a bank without a penny, so shameless? !
