Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 213 Three-year corporate plan

The Hardy Group of Companies was established.

The first job is to build two casino hotels, the Caesars Palace Hotel and The Venetian Hotel.

The design bidding has been carried out before, and several of the best design companies in the United States have all participated. Now the design drawings have been given and approved by shareholders.

The Caesars Palace imitates the architecture of the Roman period, magnificent and magnificent, with many Roman sculptures inside and a huge fountain outside, which completely imitates the Trevi Fountain in Rome.

The Trevi Fountain, also known as the Maiden's Fountain, is also called the Wishing Pool. It is a masterpiece of Baroque architectural art. It is the largest and most well-known fountain in Rome. It is one of the symbols of Rome. Roman Holiday was shot here.

The Venetian Hotel imitates the water city of Venice, which is similar to the PPT picture that Hardy got to fool the gangster family.

For the construction of these two casinos, the Caesars Palace Hotel was handed over to the Meitong Real Estate Development Company, and the Venetian Hotel was handed over to another large construction company.

Construction of two casinos started at the same time.

At the same time, the “Hardy Building”, the headquarters of Hardy Group, also started construction at the same time.

In fact, it is the shape of copper coins, which represents a lot of money.

Hardy's ideal is so vulgar.

The office headquarters is temporarily in Los Angeles, and when the Hardy Building is completed, it will be transferred to Las Vegas, and the Los Angeles Building will become a branch.

Hardy Group headquarters.

Office of the Chairman.

Hardy called Andy, Andy, I think it is necessary for the Hardy Group to make a future development plan, what do you think?

There is a goal to have a direction, and there is a direction to have the motivation.

Whether it is a country or an individual, everyone should make a plan for the future, so as not to be confused.

In later generations, China will rely on the five-year plan, step by step.

Boss, let's go together. I'm sorting out the plan recently, but I still need to ask you for instructions in some places, because it involves the future development direction of the Hardy Group. Andy said.

I also have some ideas in my heart, then let's talk about the future framework today. Hardy said.

In Hardy's mind, the Hardy Group will have several pillar industries in the future, and the media industry is the first.

Now the Hardy Group's media industry includes ABC Broadcasting Company,

HD Film Company, Global Times, Playboy Magazine, ABC Radio, HD Record Company, and HD Broker Company can be said to have formed their own industrial chain.

It's not surprising that Hardy puts Andy in the first place in the media industry. Hardy has spoken to him about power positioning before.

The rights in this world can be divided into military discourse, political discourse, economic discourse, cultural discourse, public opinion discourse, and finally the diplomatic discourse right.

The media industry is to master the power of public opinion and cultural discourse. It is a very powerful weapon. If you master the power of public opinion, many politicians will be afraid of you, and the power of public opinion can also be a powerful tool for making money.

My plan is to continue to expand the number of ABC TV stations. Now it is nominally covering the United States, but there is still no coverage in remote areas. Now our number of TV stations is 118, and we will strive to reach more than 200 within five years.

Try to explore foreign markets, such as neighboring Canada and Mexico, and establish radio and television stations there. There are also overseas markets, such as establishing radio and television stations in Hong Kong and Japan. Although they cannot live broadcast, they can move the programs to broadcast.

Global Times will continue to increase its support and strive to cover the world within two years. Even if some places are weak, there must be a channel to transmit voices.

The magazine only has Playboy, it's still too thin, and the audience is too small. I plan to create a new magazine, imitating Reader's Digest, which can be called 'Reader' or 'Youth's Digest'. This magazine does not have to pursue high prices, and Reader's Digest is the same as 30 cents a book, but the main thing is to expand the audience.

As for film companies, we don't want too many movies, but only high-quality movies. We should focus more on producing TV dramas and variety shows. I predict that the record industry will become more and more developed. We will increase investment in record companies and select new people to bring them to life. Cultivate to be a star.”

In the end, Hardy remembered something and said to Andy: Andy, do you know the 'Paramount Act'?

You mean the Supreme Court's anti-monopoly judgment against the eight major film companies has not been suspended? Andy asked in surprise.

Hardy shook his head, I have inside information, the Paramount Act will come into effect this year, if the Supreme Court's ruling takes effect, then the distribution companies and theater chains of these big movie companies will be forcibly stripped, what do you think will happen? matter?

This news is not internal news, but the memory of Hardy's previous life, but Andy doesn't know, with Hardy's current connections, Hardy said that it was the news from the high-level, he did not doubt it at all.

If this is the case, we can prepare to go short in advance. Andy said excitedly.

Yes, keep an eye on this matter, and make a profit at the right time. Hardy said with a smile.

Boss, you don't plan to operate it, buy some industries or something? Andy asked.

Hardy smiled and shook his head.

HD Pictures has never been able to get distribution or theaters, just because I know that there will be an anti-monopoly judgment, and now I will not intervene. In the future, the most important role of HD Pictures will be the resource base of TV stations.

After talking about the media industry, Hardy talked about the second pillar of the group.

Security company.

If the media is Hadi's daughter, then the security company is Hadi's son. From beginning to end, Hadi did not let anyone or any external force participate in the security company.

The original brothers, in fact, he could have arranged higher positions for them, but Hardy did not, because these talents are his most hard-core men.

Don't look at Richard, Henry, Matthew, Neil, these guys are just the team leaders of the security company, but their salaries are far higher than those outside, and there are profit dividends.

For HD Security Company, Hardy never expects him to make money. It is naturally best to support himself and gradually develop. Even if he loses money, Hardy will pay him money from other parts of the group.

The existence of HD security company is the biggest security guarantee for Hardy industry.

Hardy said to Andy:

Now HD Security has reached a partnership with the Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas police departments. As for other cities, I plan to stop for a while. If the government feels that we are a threat, trouble will come, and it is still within the acceptable range. Inside, we take the initiative to stop and save the trouble.

The next job is to work intensively and increase the factory security department. There are so many industrial companies in the California consortium, and we need to communicate with them more. If we take over the security work of these factories, it will be a lot of business.

There is also the Celebrity Guard Department, which will provide personal security for celebrities and big figures in the future. This business needs more and more people now.

You can also set up a transportation service department. I read the newspaper a few days ago, and it said that in some sea areas, piracy activities are rampant, we can carry out escort with the ship, and even have warships in the future, and directly escort them all the way. If those pirates dare to show up, Hit the ship directly.

The third pillar industry.

FuGuo bank.

Wells Fargo is the core of the future group. In the next few years, Hardy's idea is to develop into a national bank with more than one branch in each city. This plan has been formulated after the purchase of Wells Fargo.

Hardy's latest idea is to let Wells Fargo set up an angel investment department. Hardy's biggest advantage is to predict the future trend. Many of the big companies that are familiar in the future have not yet appeared.

If you set up an investment company and a big company in the future will come to you and choose to invest in them, you will have a thousand times the income in the future.

Hardy wanted to make Wells Fargo the future Goldman Sachs.

The fourth pillar industry.

gambling industry.

Needless to say, Las Vegas is the top priority. The existing Hardy Hotel, as well as the Caesar Palace Hotel and The Venetian Hotel under construction, form an industrial cluster. This business wants to It's hard not to make money.

However, the construction period will take more than two years, so the specific work can be arranged after two years. The focus now is to send people to watch the construction situation.

And the fifth pillar industry mentioned by Hardy.

Hardy's supermarket chain.

This surprised Andy. He didn't expect the boss to set his sights on the retail industry.

Boss, are you going to get a supermarket? Andy asked.

The future is the era of consumption, people will pay more and more attention to consumption, the retail industry will inevitably rise, and there is another advantage of the retail industry, that is, the 'cash cow'. My plan is to establish supermarket chains in major cities across the United States, and the location does not need to be Pick it in the city center, but next to a more crowded area.

Buying land and building warehouse-style supermarkets, our own products can enter the supermarket, and we can also attract other companies to enter. In the future, urban development will gradually become a center, and the land will increase in value.

Andy thought for a while and said, Boss, if so many supermarkets are built, and the product categories are calculated in thousands, the financial pressure will be great.

Hadi shook his head and said with a smile: No, I don't give them money, but they give me money. Strictly speaking, my Hadi supermarket chain does not buy goods from them for takeaway, but provides a sales service to the merchants. platform.

When you sell goods to me, you give me money. The supermarket can charge the delivery fee, or sign a commission agreement with the company, so that the supermarket will not have any pressure on payment, right?

Andy looked at Hardy in surprise, Is this still possible?

Why not, aren't we responsible for selling the products on TV shopping, and then taking the points for a share? What's the difference between this and putting it in a supermarket? Of course, it's definitely not easy to get these merchants to come over and put out the goods, but we have The ABC TV station is a propaganda tool that can tell those businesses that all products sold in the Hardy supermarket chain can enjoy the benefits of TV shopping promotion.

Ah, I'm afraid there won't be enough time for TV shopping, right?

Hehe, let's open another national channel and introduce products at a fixed time every day, and even let the host directly promote the products in the supermarket, introducing the quality of the products, how to use them, etc. I have already thought about the name, so it's called Shopping Street .

Andy really admires the boss's mind. Just thinking about it is a wonderful idea. Of course, these ideas also need industry support.

It is not without reason that Hardy puts the media industry first in the group industry.
