Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 241 Fragrance

Investing in the cooperative operation of shipping companies?

Hardy was slightly surprised when he saw Victor's telegram. After he saw the name 'Dong Haoyun', he searched his memory. After rebirth, his brain was very useful, and everything he had seen in his previous life was engraved in his mind.

Dong Haoyun, one of the Seven Kings of Ships in the World in the future, later his shipping company owned 150 ships with a total volume of more than 10 million tons.

Cooperation.

Hardy thinks it's perfectly fine.

The total number of freedom ships and victory ships in his hands exceeds 500. The most important thing now is to have someone operate them. Only when they are put into shipping, these abandoned ships docked in the harbor will exert their greatest value.

Hardy called back immediately.

Hardy Shipping Co., Ltd. is willing to invest 300,000 tons of shipping capacity and cooperate with Dongjia Global Shipping. Hardy Group holds 70% of the shares. In the future, both parties can enjoy each other's resources during operation, including ports, terminals, routes, freight information, etc.

It can even change the nature of the cargo ship and fly the flag of the appropriate country.

After Victor received a call from Hardy, he said that Dong Haoyun was really lucky. The boss's investment is entirely support. Dong Haoyun's shipping company can now become one of the world's largest shipping companies.

Dong Haoyun received the notice that the Hardy Group had already replied and rushed over immediately, with an uneasy mood on the way.

For the past few days, he has been thinking about whether the other party will agree.

Victor smiled and looked at Dong Haoyun, Mr. Dong, congratulations, our boss, Mr. Jon Hardy, is willing to cooperate with you this time.

It's great. Dong Haoyun was a surprise.

Our boss called back and said that your company has a carrying capacity of 100,000 tons, and we are willing to invest 300,000 tons of carrying capacity, accounting for 70% of the shares. Victor said.

Dong Haoyun knew that he had already provided an extra 50,000 tons of carrying capacity after a simple calculation, which was balancing his management rights.

I agree, I don't know when I can sign the contract? Dong Haoyun asked.

I will send accountants and lawyers to enter your company to conduct an accounting of your company's situation. After the situation is true, you can sign a contract at any time. Victor said.

Okay, I will definitely cooperate. Dong Haoyun quickly agreed.

By the way, with a carrying capacity of 300,000 tons, I don't know what kind of ship you want. Is it a 15,000-ton Victory Ship or a 7,000-ton Liberty Ship? Victor asked.

Well, can I go back and make a count? Offshore 7,000-ton ships are more suitable, and far-sea Victory ships are more suitable. I have to see which places are suitable for development, and then I can figure out what kind of freighter I want.

Dong Haoyun said.

No problem, it will take time to settle accounts anyway.

A few days later, everything was clear, Dong Haoyun’s global shipping was in good condition, and Hardy Company agreed to inject capital. Dong Haoyun asked for 10 Victory ships and 21 Liberty ships. With these ships joining, his total carrying capacity suddenly increased to 40 ships. tons.

And Jon Hardy has also become a major shareholder of Hong Kong Global Shipping.

Some people in the outside world gradually learned about this situation. Many people envied Dong Haoyun's good mind and won 31 ships without spending a penny.

Especially a young man in his 20s, he is even more envious of Dong Haoyun. He also has a boat, but it is only a small barge. The barge is to take the cargo off the big boat and put it directly on the small boat, and then these small boats will deliver it. to the various piers.

The workers were unloading the cargo. He stood on the deck and looked up at the big ship overhead. This ship was the Victory Ship.

It would be great if I could have a boat like this. I could do shipping directly and earn a second boat back in a year or two.

Boss Dong is really good at playing. He can get 31 boats by fooling around. If Huo Qingdong had his family background, I would definitely get more boats than him.

Qingdong, the goods are ready, let's transport them away. This batch of goods is medicine, glass syringes, sterile cotton, and medical equipment. The price is very expensive. You have to be very careful when you leave the ship. You must not have an accident. If something goes wrong. , even if you go to the ends of the earth, the hall master will find you. A middle-aged man urged.

Don't worry, brother, there will be no mistakes.

Time to enter April.

Los Angeles has a pleasant climate.

Hardy's various careers are very smooth, and all transactions are making money. ABC TV's super idol talent show, the audition is completely over, and a total of 236 finalists have been selected.

Hardy has read the information and has to say that in this era, many people do have real talents and practical learning, handsome young men who sing well, and beautiful girls who sing well, all of them are all natural. .

It's not like the later generations, the ones pulled out are all crooked melons and cracked dates, and the singing skills are not good. The draft has really become a garbage show.

After the audition is the promotion competition, which needs to be held two weeks later. The promotion competition is much stricter and crueler than the audition. This time each person prepares at least three songs and competes in the studio. The promotion competition is divided into three parts. wheel.

It's time for the instructor to come in.

The first round was to reduce the number of candidates for the audition to 120, the second to 60, and the third to 24.

In the end, these 24 people made it to the finals.

Although Marilyn Monroe has signed a contract, she still hopes to move forward. Her innate conditions for singing, but she has the company's professional teacher training, which has an advantage over most people.

During this period of time, the ratings of ABC TV station have been rising steadily. Not to mention that the advertising fees have made a lot of money, the sales of TV sets have been driven by a lot higher.

Hardy received another letter from Victor that day. This time the content of the letter was thicker than last time.

Victor reports to Hardy:

A large amount of land has been purchased, with a total of more than 1,400 acres, which is definitely not a small number in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong government has agreed to build an industrial zone. All land in the industrial zone is owned by the real estate company under the Hardy Group. The government will implement the policy of three links and one levelling for the industrial zone.

At present, more than a dozen factories have signed cooperation contracts, which are run by those Chinese. Victor has also set up an investment company. If anyone wants to do a business, they can negotiate and cooperate with Hardy Company.

In fact, it is somewhat similar to the limelight company.

Hardy Group will provide certain help and try to support these enterprises.

Many people really came to cooperate. One of them was named Li. He came and said that he wanted to do the plastic flower business and asked if the Hardy Group was willing to invest.

They also want to cooperate in the construction of garment factories, electrical appliances factories, watch factories, toy factories, eyewear companies, plastic pipe factories, and button factories. There are dozens of them.

Then I talked about the situation of the post-war supplies that were shipped. Some things sold well, while others did not sell well. The Hongmen side in Hong Kong took four batches of goods before and after, with a total payment of 2.31 million, and about half of the goods. I didn't mention it, but it was noticeably slower.

Victor speculates that they are running out of money and are trying to raise money.

Then he said about the situation of penicillin, 100,000 pieces are shipped every month, and they are all sold out as soon as they arrive, so there is no need to worry about selling this.

The pharmaceutical factory in cooperation with Mersey Pharmaceuticals is under construction, and engineers expect it will take at least half a year to start production.

The last item Victor said about the antiques acquired, Boss, during this period of time, I received a total of 18 antiques from Mr. Kong, a total of more than 6,800 pieces, with an amount of 1.28 million US dollars, all of which are in Citibank. Cheque.

A lot of antiques are now piled up in underground vaults. I don't know if they should be shipped to the United States, or should they continue to be kept?

Hardy flicked the letter paper, 18 antiques in two months, these guys are reselling the antiques faster and faster.

Victor asked what he should do with the antiques.

Shipping to the US?

Hardy didn't think it was a good idea.

If these antiques get to the United States, they will become the property of the United States. Now it is easy to get them in, but in a few decades, it will not be so easy for Hardy to get these antiques away. If you want to get them away, NO , which is U.S. property and is subject to tax.

And the tax rate is high.

Hadi thinks that it is better to put it in Hong Kong. In the future, Hong Kong, as a free trade port and an offshore financial center, has no transaction restrictions and transaction taxes. In the future, whether he sells suitable donations, it will be countless times more convenient.

But this way.

Hong Kong needs a place to store antiques.

Hadi picked up the phone and called Han Yejin, Hey, Yejin, I have something to look for you.

Are you busy this afternoon? Han Ye Jin asked.

What's wrong.

There is an art appreciation meeting in the afternoon. I'm going to attend to see what's good. I don't know if you have time, so I didn't call you. If you have time to go with me? Han Yizhen asked.

OK, I'll accompany you. Hardy said.

Hadi came to pick her up at Han Yizhen's residence. When Han Yizhen came out, Hadi felt that his eyes were bright. He was wearing a pearl pink cheongsam with many embroidered patterns of tangled branches of the same color, which was luxurious and high-end. The taste of Western shawls.

She wears a necklace around her neck, the one Hardy gave her for Christmas.

The hair is slightly wavy, cleverly draped over the shoulders, the face and skin are soft, and the woman reveals an elegant, dignified and beautiful beauty everywhere.

It's so pretty~!

Hardy complimented.

He lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips.

The woman raised her head slightly, her eyes closed unconsciously.

Get in the car~!

Hadila opened the door.

Han Ye Jin smiled and got into the car.

The car quickly arrived in front of an art exhibition hall in Los Angeles. The two got out of the car. Han Yizhen took out the invitation card from her bag. This time, the specifications are relatively high. Only those who are invited can enter. Most of the artworks displayed today are somewhat famous. .

certainly,

The main thing is to find buyers for them. The function of the invitation card is to filter out the poor and invite those who have the ability to buy.

Han Yizhen walked into the pavilion holding Hadi's hand. Some people recognized Hadi, but they were surprised, and secretly said to her companions:

Look, that young man is Jon Hardy. He is now the richest man in Los Angeles. I didn't expect to participate in this art exhibition.

His net worth is said to have now crossed the $1 billion mark.

My God, 1 billion. A blond woman covered her mouth in surprise, then looked at Hadi, and then at the woman beside Hadi.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a beard came over with a young girl on his arm. The middle-aged man saw Hardy for a moment, and immediately led his companions forward.

Mr. Hardy, I didn't expect to see you here. The middle-aged man greeted with a smile.

Ah, it's Mr. An Ruisi, I'll accompany my friends over here to have a look. He glanced at Han Yezhen.

The man looked at Han Yezhen, smiled and greeted him and introduced himself. Only then did Han Yezhen know that this middle-aged man was the general manager of the Los Angeles branch of Bank of America.

After the greeting was over, the bearded man left with his female companion. The two walked around the exhibition hall and chatted about a few paintings before Han Yizhen said that Hardy was looking for her, By the way, you said that you are looking for me, what is it? thing?

Victor sent a letter saying that more than 6,000 antiques have been collected in Hong Kong, and asked me if I had shipped them over. I thought about it and felt that it was a bit inappropriate. I have an idea, why don't we build a museum in Hong Kong? , the large-scale kind, it is not important for external exhibitions, it is mainly used as a treasure house, what do you think? Hardy asked.

Han Yizhen blinked after hearing this, with a slightly excited look on her face, Hadi, how about letting me build this museum?

You know, I study architectural design, and my biggest hobby is antique art. When I was studying, my biggest wish was to build a large-scale museum. For this reason, I also inspected many museums, even my graduation works. It's all about building a museum.

Hardy smiled,

Of course there is no problem. If you want to, you will be responsible. Who calls you the boss of the auction company.

Speaking of building a museum, Han Yizhen lost her interest in seeing artworks, Let's go, I'll take you to see my graduation project.

After saying that, he pulled Hardy and left.

The two came to Han Yizhen's house, a small two-story villa. There was a room upstairs, which was dedicated to the things she was studying. They removed a model from the shelf and found a volume of drawings. The two came. Go to the bedroom and put things on the bed to look.

Han Yizhen explained to Hardy the design concept of the museum, exhibits display area, security situation, underground treasure house, outdoor modeling, lighting arrangement and so on.

Han Yizhen said more and more excitedly, I never thought that one day, I would be able to fulfill my dream.

Follow me, anything is possible. Hardy said with a smile.

Han Yejin looked at Hardy, leaned in and pecked lightly on the mouth.

Reward you.

That's not enough. Hardy grabbed the girl, hugged her head and kissed her fiercely. He accidentally failed to grasp the center of gravity of his body, and the two fell on the bed all at once, pressing on the drawing.

Woooo~~Wait a minute, my drawing.

Han Yizhen struggled hard, but how could she struggle more than Hadi's strong arms.
