Hardy Empire 1945

Hearing that Bill said it was the goods of the Tang Ren Gang, Hardy had some guesses in his heart, but then he thought that the Tang Ren Gang might be able to use it.

Bill, how are you getting in touch with the Tang Ren Gang? Hardy asked.

It's not bad, not long after Los Angeles entered San Francisco, Tang Ren helped the deputy leader Luo Jincheng to invite me to dinner. We met in Chinatown and talked about cooperation. Originally, I wanted to visit their leader. Luo Jincheng said that their leader Situ Lao Mr. is not in the United States, and now Luo Jincheng is fully responsible for the affairs of the United States. Bill said.

Mr. Situ Hardy knew who it was.

Han Ye Jin's grandfather.

Bill, you help me contact Luo Jincheng, and you said that there is a big business to discuss with them. Hardy said.

Big business, how big is it? Bill asked curiously.

There are always hundreds of millions of dollars?

Bill was shocked. Although he was the boss of the Los Angeles City Gang, the business he was in contact with was only a million-dollar business, a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He didn't even dare to think about it.

Boss, don't forget Los Angeles if you have money to buy and sell. This is also your own property. Bill said like a little daughter-in-law.

Don't worry, there is one in Los Angeles. Hardy said angrily.

Okay, I'll contact Luo Jincheng now.

After hanging up the phone, Hardy called Andy again, Andy, start the truck sales plan tomorrow, and let the Global Times and abc advertise.

Good boss.

Also, register a shipping company. Hardy said.

Shipping company, are you planning to do shipping business again? Andy asked in surprise.

Hardy smiled, Now the US military has more than 500 7,000-ton Liberty ships and more than 100 15,000-ton Victory ships. These freighters are now all parked at the port and rusting. Isn't that a waste of money?

I plan to take over all of them. Even if I don't use them myself, I can make a profit by selling them.

The cost of the Freewheel is $1.6 million, and the cost of the Victory is $3.3 million. Why are they so cheap? Because they use welding instead of mortise and tenon, the design life of these freighters is only 5 years, just to deal with the German wolves bombing operation.

However, Hardy knows that some of these freighters in later generations have been used for more than 20 years, and the quality is still very good.

The reserve price given by the military is very cheap, 180,000 for a Liberty Ship and 350,000 for a Victory Ship, which is only slightly higher than the price of scrap iron.

Hardy's idea is very simple. These freighters are so cheap that he buys them all and puts them in the name of the shipping company. However, he can't use up so many freighters himself. In the future, he can sell the ships while transporting goods, and make money at both ends.

When these cargo ships are slowly disposed of, and the money earned can buy new ships, wouldn't there be a large shipping company in their hands?

However, even if it is so cheap that only 180,000 freewheels and 350,000 victory ships are needed, there are too many. Hardy calculates that it will cost 170 million US dollars to win them all.

Fortunately, he has an inherent advantage, that is, he can owe debts. The sales contract he signed with the military stated that some buyers had no money and could only owe them first.

In less than 10 years, it is estimated that Hardy has already sold the freighter and even made more money.

Andy took note and set out to do both.

the next day.

ABC TV released an advertisement, Hardy Trading and Sales Company was preparing to sell a batch of second-hand trucks, and images of trucks appeared in the camera.

Inexpensive, Dodge wc62 truck with $200 down payment and 10 monthly loan payments of $50. gmc 2.5 ton military truck with $300 down payment and 10 monthly loan payments of $50. White 6666 truck with $500 down payment , 10 installments of the loan with monthly repayments of $50.”

Guaranteed to be in good condition in the car, and also comes with original vulnerable parts, owning a truck may be the cornerstone of your business.

In addition, in order to encourage veterans to start their own businesses, the Hardy Group announced that all military personnel can use their veteran's certificate to forgive their first two months of loans.

In this era, freight transportation is still very profitable. In fact, later generations of American truck drivers are also very profitable, but it is difficult for many people to pay for a truck at once, and the cheap one costs more than 2,000 yuan, which is equivalent to an ordinary person's one year. salary.

Expensive ones like the White 6666 cost more than $5,000 for a new car, which is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

Now there is an opportunity to buy a truck at one-tenth of the price, and many people are immediately excited. Not many people can afford 2,000 at a time, but they can still find a way to do it with 200 US dollars.

As for repayment of the loan, as long as you have a truck, it is not difficult to repay $50 a month. After 10 months, the car will be completely yours.

The advertisement finally said: If you want to buy a truck, please go to the local Wells Fargo Bank for loan business. After the procedures are complete, go to the nearest armory to pick up the truck. This time, there are only 20,000 vehicles for sale, while stocks last.

The Global Times newspaper also published this advertisement at the same time, and the content is similar to the TV advertisement.

Not everyone has a TV these days, and newspapers are still the most popular and most widespread form of media.

White is 26 years old this year. He started working as a stevedore after being discharged from the army in World War II. His dream is to own a truck of his own, because he knows that freight transport is very profitable. Only more than 600 US dollars, after all, he has a wife and children to support a family.

It may be a few years before you want to buy a truck.

When he saw the advertisement of Hardy's selling trucks, he was immediately excited, and he felt that he could realize his dream soon.

What does it have to do with second-hand cars, he has driven cars in the army, and he also repairs them a little bit. He knows that these cars are very good, and it is no problem to take them and drive them for a few years.

He ran home in a hurry, and his wife wondered why he came back at this time, Is there no work today, White.

White hugged his wife and kissed him hard.

Haha, we'll have our own truck soon, I'll pick it up now, and we can live a good life in the future. He rushed into the house and opened the piggy bank, which contained the six he finally saved. More than a hundred dollars and some documents.

I went to the bank to go through the formalities, and I quickly got the car pick-up procedure. White served in the army and was able to waive the interest for the first two months. This is equivalent to saving a hundred dollars. White is very grateful for this. Hardy Company actually There has always been a preferential policy for military personnel.

Formerly a TV set, now a truck, the Hardy Group is well-known among the veteran community.

White found a friend and let his friend take him on a motorcycle for more than 100 kilometers to the nearest armory, where a lot of people have gathered.

White bought a White 6666, which is the kind of car he drives in the army. He knows that this guy is very sturdy, and he pulls a lot, even if it is 6 tons, he has pulled 16 tons.

After showing the car pick-up procedure, the soldier on duty asked him to go in and pick the car, and he could drive whichever car he liked. This made White a little surprised.

Rows of cars were parked there, and there were already many people picking them. White was familiar with this kind of car, and quickly picked the one that felt the best. The car drove out smoothly.

Wow hoo~~!

White yelled excitedly.

He finally has a car of his own, and the performance of this car is very good, 80% of the new is estimated to have it, and it is estimated that it will not be bad after another ten years.

Loading the motorcycle into the car with friends, the two of them drove the truck and sang songs all the way home.

......

The Hardy Group has registered another shipping company whose name everyone should be able to guess.

Hardy Shipping Co.

It is a wholly-owned subsidiary in which Hardy owns 100 percent.

On the second day of the company's establishment, the company signed a sale and purchase contract worth up to 168 million to purchase 662 'abandoned' freighters from the military.

Among them, there are 535 free ships and 127 victory ships.

The repayment date cannot be later than March 1958.

At this time, the U.S. military is really rich and powerful. If they go to other countries, these assets will be put to good use, but these things are a burden to them. Whether it is the military or the government, the only idea is how to get it as soon as possible. They deal with it.

For example, a large number of tanks were pushed into the sea, 14,000 tons of bombs were thrown into the Gulf of Mexico, explosive experiments were carried out to destroy the explosives, and warships were pierced and sunk into the sea.

what,

Dismantling and selling scrap iron.

There is also a fee for dismantling, and scrap iron is worthless, so it is better to lose it and save trouble.

If you don't consume materials, how do those arms dealers make money?

......

Bill contacted Luo Jincheng, the current deputy leader of the Tang Ren Gang. Luo Jincheng was a little surprised to hear that Hardy wanted to see him.

Is it because the other party knew about the operation of those weapons and medical supplies in the gang and wanted to trouble himself.

It's not right, this should be the matter of the US government.

Besides, the LA Gang is Hardy's property. The Tangren Gang and the LA Gang have had a good relationship since Los Angeles. They even greeted him before coming to San Francisco. It stands to reason that this Hardy boss shouldn't bother him.

No matter what, since the other party wants to see him, let's meet first. Luo Jincheng promised Bill, I also really want to see Mr. Hardy, but I don't know where to meet?

The boss said we'll meet in San Francisco, what does Mr. Luo think? Bill said.

it is good.

Two days later.

Hardy's plane lands at San Francisco airport.

Bill brought his men over to pick up Hardy. Hardy got in the car and arrived at the manor Bill purchased in San Francisco. An hour later, a car drove into the manor.

Luo Jincheng walked into the living room with his secretary, Hardy stood up with a smile, Luo Jincheng stretched out his hand: Hello, Mr. Hardy.

Hello, Mr. Luo.

The two shook hands.

I don't know why Mr. Hardy is looking for me this time? Luo Jincheng asked.

Hardy smiled lightly, I have a business I want to do with you. I wonder if Hongmen is interested?

Luo Jincheng was slightly stunned.

Because Hardy is talking about the Hongmen, the scope of the Hongmen is much wider.

Don't know what business it is?

Reselling military materials, I know that Hongmen has influence in more than 30 countries, especially in Asia. Our Hardy Group has undertaken the sales of US military materials after the war. I think there is a broad market in Asia.

However, we are not very familiar with Asia, so we want to cooperate with an organization that is familiar with the situation in Asia and has a certain strength. I wonder if Hongmen would like it? Hadi asked.

Luo Jincheng was shocked when he heard Hardy's words.

He didn't expect Hardy to come to him, and he actually asked him to help sell U.S. military supplies, and it was going to Asia. If this was the case, why did he spend so much money before and struggle to smuggle things over there.

Now you can blatantly transport it.

I don't know how Mr. Hardy is going to cooperate? Luo Jincheng asked tentatively.

I'm in charge of shipping things over, and you're in charge of contacting sales, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaya, Indonesia... Hadi said a bunch of names.

Including weapons? Luo Jincheng asked?

Except for heavy weapons.

Does that include China?

Hardy smiled, Now the United States has a ban on weapons over there, so I can't ship it in a big way. I can sell it to other countries and places, but if someone wants to smuggle it into China, I can't help it.

Mr. Hardy, I don't know how much profit we can get? Luo Jincheng asked.

Ten percent. Hardy smiled.
