Hadi's Empire 1945 New() Find the latest chapter!

Hardy and David Mersey were talking about the casino. Mersey was most concerned about the future passenger flow. Hardy said with a smile: It's very simple, making Las Vegas a man's paradise will naturally attract people's attention. to the guests.

Men's Paradise?

Gambling, wine, women, all kinds of performances, everything that men like is here. There is only enjoyment here. Coming here is like coming to a man's paradise.

Las Vegas will also host the Miss World election, the Victoria's Secret Model Contest, lingerie shows, boxing competitions, horse racing and dog racing, and these competitions will attract a large number of tourists.

David Mersey nodded with a smile, I want to go everything I said.

Hardy seemed to remember something and said, David, I have friends in the East. They said that there is a shortage of penicillin there. I wonder if they can buy a batch from you.

Penicillin is basically in short supply now. There is a lot of demand in China and Europe. We have not officially supplied to the eastern countries for the time being. It is too poor, but since your friend wants it, no problem, I can divide some of it. . David Mersey laughed.

How much can you give me?

Mersey thought about it, How about 50,000 bottles a month?

Hardy thought for a moment.

The wholesale price of 200,000 units of dry powder penicillin is $1 per bottle, and the price of a bottle in domestic hospitals is $2 to $3. Now the price in Hong Kong hospitals is about $10 per bottle, and the black market price is even more than $30.

Give yourself 50,000 bottles, the purchase price is 50,000, and the price for Hong Kong hospitals can be sold for 500,000. If you sell it at the black market price, it will be 1.5 million.

Profiteering.

50,000 bottles is too few. Hardy said.

Mersey spread his hands, Hady, you have to know that because you are my friend and partner, I will give you this batch of medicine, and it is impossible for other people to get it.

Saying that, Mersey leaned into Hardy's ear and said, There is actually another reason for not exporting a large amount of penicillin to the East, which is that the government has a secret order.

Hardy finally understands now.

With the smell of these capitalists,

It is impossible not to know that Dongfang is making money, and it is probably because of government restrictions that it did not intervene.

The business in Europe and the United States has already made them enough money. If they do not obey the government's order to export to the East, they may be punished by the government, which is not worth the loss for a big pharmaceutical company.

100,000 bottles, there is no need to do this business because there are too few. Hardy said.

Mersey thought for a while, OK, I promise you.

Hardy smiled and shook hands with Mersey.

Mersey, why don't you get a pharmaceutical factory in the east? Hardy said.

Mersey smiled, I had an idea before, but it's too far there, the market is not developed, and it is far from making money from developing the American market and the European market.

David, how about this, let's cooperate to build a pharmaceutical factory in Hong Kong, you are in charge of technology, I am in charge of construction and sales, the first product is penicillin. Hardy said.

Mersey looked at Hardy seriously, You are very optimistic about the East?

Hardy spread his hands, Too many people are staring at the European and American markets, but the East is a blank, people don't pay attention, but there are a lot of people there, the population of the entire East is three times that of Europe plus the Americas, this is a huge market.

Mersey thought about it seriously, Cooperative pharmaceutical factory, yes, I will provide the technology, occupy 30% of the shares, and leave the rest to you.

Anyway, he is a white wolf with empty gloves. Hardy is willing to make his own money. If he loses, it is also Hardy's. The big deal is to withdraw the technician.

Okay, that's it, I'll let my subordinates contact Mersey Pharmaceuticals when I go back. Hardy said with a smile.

Another big deal.

This is also the biggest advantage of joining a consortium. Everyone shares resources and grows together. How can those small businesses fighting alone be able to beat this behemoth.

The party continues,

A group of men came to play again at the most luxurious golf course in San Francisco. This golf course is also owned by Bank of America. Today, no outsiders are accepted, only members of the consortium participate.

Dinner together tonight,

The party didn't end until 9pm.

Throughout the party, not a single woman appeared, only business and politics.

This is the real high-end party.

That kind of party with a bunch of beautiful women seems to be lively, but it is really just for fun, and there is no big deal on that occasion.

......

Back at the station, Hardy smiled and said to Andy: Why do I feel that there are more and more things, and I can't get out of San Francisco for a month and a half.

Andy smiled and said, But your gains are also huge.

The harvest this month and a half is really huge.

The acquisition of Wells Fargo allowed the Hardy Group to have a financial core and become a member of the California consortium. In the future, its influence in California will be further enhanced.

By the way, we also negotiated a few deals.

Acquired shares of PepsiCo and established a pharmaceutical factory in Hong Kong in cooperation with Mersey Pharmaceuticals.

Each of these things is a great cause for others, but it is only a word for Hardy.

This is the advantage of being backed by huge resources.

The consortium is the resource pool. Everyone injects resources into the pool, and at the same time fishes for resources in the pool, mutual benefit and mutual promotion.

certainly,

There are also disputes within the consortium. Be careful that people in the consortium are staring at your property. The consortium is not a paradise, but more like a group of beasts gathering together to hunt in groups. Don’t forget that these guys next to you are all beasts.

the next day.

Several new casinos sat together again, and Mayer came to San Francisco from Los Angeles. He was the promoter at first, but now he has become a foil.

Looking at Hardy,

He had already heard that Hardy had officially joined the California consortium last night, and dozens of rich people had held an initiation reception for him.

Hardy's wealth and status have far surpassed him.

last year.

That is, last year, Hardy was still a young man he was optimistic about, but now, he has rapidly grown into the largest group boss in Los Angeles.

Giannini presided over the meeting. He looked at everyone present and said with a smile: Now let's discuss the issue of the casino's shares.

After speaking, he first looked at Hardy: Hadi said from the beginning that he would keep 20% of the shares, right?

Hardy nodded.

As for the remaining few, the distribution after negotiation is as follows: MGM 10%, Mersey Pharma 10%, Crocker Agricultural Products 15%, PepsiCo 7%, Lockheed Aircraft Manufacturing 10%. Bank of America 28% .

Mayer had always wanted to be the leader of the new casino, but he didn't expect that only 10% would be left in the end. After the news was made known to the big capital, things were no longer under his control, and now he was completely reduced to a follower.

In fact, he was lucky enough not to be completely kicked out.

Giannini continued:

There is also the management issue. In the future, the new casino will continue to be hosted by Hardy, so everyone has no opinion, right?

All agreed.

Hadi put forward a condition that everyone needs to sign an agreement. Before the casino has no major losses, the management rights belong to him, and other families are not allowed to intervene in the operation of the casino. If there are serious losses, the shareholders will take back the management rights and re-select the executive president. , do you have any opinions?

Some people agree that they invest to make money, like Lockheed, they only build airplanes, but they don't know how to run casinos.

Some people hesitated for a while, but still agreed. After all, the casino would not be able to operate properly without Hardy.

Next is the issue of management of equity. In the end, after accounting, the management of equity is 12% of the total equity. Do you have any opinions? Giannini looked at everyone.

The management shares here only have the right to dividends, which is 12% of the total profit. The annual net profit deducts the dividends of the management shares, and the rest is shareholder income.

Some people felt that the management stake was too much, but since Bank of America agreed, others did not object.

The last one, what is the name of the casino? Giannini asked.

Mayer felt a little sad.

He already had a plan in mind for the name of the casino back then, and it was called 'MGM Grand Hotel', which was also a propaganda for MGM, but now that he has become a minority shareholder, he naturally does not dare to mention the name again.

Hadi, do you have any ideas? Giannini looked at Hardy and asked.

Hardy thought for a while, How about Caesars Palace?

Caesars Palace Hotel, Caesars Palace Casino, I think this name sounds very good. David Mersey said.

Everyone else thought it was a good name.

That's how the name of the casino was settled.

Next, everyone discussed some details, such as the design direction of the casino, business conditions, etc. Hardy also told everyone about his plans to develop Las Vegas. Everyone felt that Hardy's plan was very good.

Especially in the form of TV station lottery + telephone investment, more variety of lottery activities are carried out, and everyone expresses their support.

Everyone is more and more confident about the profitability of casinos in the future.

When the matter was finalized, the butler brought champagne and everyone toasted together, wishing the business a booming business, and the lawyers who came to quickly get the contract done. Finally, everyone signed the agreement and completed the formal contract.

The Caesars Palace Hotel was officially born from this moment.

When David Mersey and Hardy were clinking glasses, they whispered, You're so quick. You asked someone to go to the pharmaceutical factory yesterday. I've signed it and can pick up the goods at any time.

Thank you then.

It's nothing, I'm counting on you to help me make a fortune at the casino. David Mersey said with a smile.

No problem, I'm good at casinos. Hardy said with a smile.

They are already negotiating about the construction of a penicillin plant in Hong Kong. The estimated investment is US$1.2 million. As long as the construction is fast enough, it can be put into production in half a year.

The two had just chatted a few words, and another person came next to him, Robert Gross, the helm of Lockheed.

Robert Gross, 60 years old, with blonde hair and looking very energetic, greeted Hardy with a smile, What more?

I'm talking about a small business, I'm going to build a penicillin factory. Hardy said.

Penicillin used to be very mysterious. Now, after several years of development, the factory has been able to produce it on a large scale. It's not too special. Robert Gross didn't care at all. He had his own purpose in looking for Hardy.

hardy, i also have a small business i want to talk to you about.

What business? Hardy was a little curious, and he doesn't sell arms. What are you talking about with me? Shouldn't you go to the military to discuss.

Hadi, your HD airline, do you still need passenger and cargo planes? We Lockheed also produce passenger planes and cargo planes, the L-049 constellation. The performance is very good. Are you interested? Robert Gross asked with a smile. road.

Hardy smiled and shook his head, I'm sorry, I don't need it for the time being.

Hardy flatly refused.

His planes were bought from the military, and the prices were extremely low. The Lockheed planes were definitely at market prices, and they were different from the previous types of planes, which was inconsistent with Hardy's philosophy of low-cost airlines and general-purpose aircraft parts.

A disappointed expression appeared on Robert Gross face.
