Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 261: The next step into Europe

Anthony said goodbye and left, and Hardy came to the casino. The casino was very lively, and the guests were bustling with people. Just when it was time for the lottery draw, the prize money in this lottery draw reached more than 90,000 US dollars, and a large group of people gathered around waiting for the draw.

The draw begins.

A Las Vegas TV camera is aimed at the lottery.

After three rounds of lottery winning numbers appear.

The people from the agency investment company burst into cheers. This time it was the grand prize won by the customers of the agency investment company. There were admirers and admirers at the scene.

Hardy suddenly thought of something.

Stop a waiter.

Mr. Hardy, what are your orders? the waiter asked respectfully.

Go and get the manager, Upton.

Okay Mr. Hardy.

After a short time, Upton, the casino manager, trotted over, Mr. Hardy, are you looking for me?

I'm going to open a bet on who will win this time to become president. You ask the casino's actuary to calculate the odds. By the way, not only President Dewey and Johnson, but also all other candidates. Hardy said .

The casino manager opened his mouth slightly in surprise, betting on who would win to become the president, the boss really dared to play.

Okay, I'll get someone ready.

After two days of preparation, Las Vegas TV broadcast an advertisement, and Hardy Casino opened a bet on who would win this election. There are a total of 11 candidates this time. Of course, President Johnson and Dewey must be the biggest ones. The most popular, the other candidates just accompany them.

But escort also has human rights, and they are all on the gambling list.

President Johnson, odds of 1.46.

Dewey, 2.16.

Hawkins, 5.35.

Perot, 6.88.

Hughes,...

The more you get to the end, the higher the odds, because the higher the odds,

Explain that the casino thinks that candidate is less likely to win.

As soon as the market of Hardy Casino opened, it instantly attracted the attention of people across the United States.

Betting on the president winning at the opening market has never been done before. This is the first time in the world, and Hardy is also a pioneer.

But people also see something from this odds, it is clear that Hardy's Casino is more optimistic about the re-election of President Johnson, because Johnson has the lowest odds.

As soon as this market opened, many people placed bets one after another. Naturally, they also placed bets through proxy investment companies. Suddenly, a lot of big money came in.

A week later, the amount of bets was as high as more than 30 million US dollars, and the number of people who bought President Johnson and Dewey was the most.

......

The daily update of the presidential betting amount in the newspaper, Johnson smiled after seeing it, and said to his campaign team: Look, buy me now to win the most, what does this mean, it shows people's confidence in me winning higher and higher.

It does.

As soon as Dewey received foreign political donations, Dewey's reputation was discredited, and Hardy made a documentary Black Gold. Dewey's approval rating plummeted. The last poll showed that Johnson had surpassed Dewey, which made Johnson very happy.

Johnson picked up the phone and called Hardy. After the call was connected, Johnson smiled and said, Hady, I'm going to Los Angeles tomorrow, is it ready over there?

Hehe, of course you're ready, don't worry, this Los Angeles speech tour will be the most grand speech event ever. Hardy said with a smile.

President Johnson is preparing to continue his national speaking tour, which will stop in Los Angeles.

Hardy made a lot of preparations in advance.

The location is on Hollywood Boulevard.

A few days in advance, abc TV released an advertisement to inform the public of the date of President Johnson's speech.

There will also be many guests on the day.

Including the four mentors of the 'Super Idol' talent show, as well as 32 finalists, who will perform on stage.

At the same time, a large number of stars will be there to help out.

At that time, abc TV will broadcast the speech live across the United States.

hd security is responsible for on-site security.

There is also a benefit, all the people who came to the scene that day can receive a bottle of Pepsi for free.

At that time, the team expected more than 100,000 people to come.

But these people still underestimated the attractiveness of celebrities. On the day of the speech, the entire Hollywood Boulevard was crowded with people, and the crowd was so dense that it was impossible to see the head. One hundred thousand bottles of Pepsi had already been snatched away, and 100,000 bottles were urgently dispatched.

It was later found that it was still not enough.

Continue to transport, don't be afraid of too many people, repeat the collar, it's just some Coke, there is no better advertisement than this. PepsiCo Chairman and President Walter Mack ordered again.

The show begins.

Ava Gardner appeared first, and instantly won countless cheers. Ava sang her most famous song Scarborough Fair, and the cheers of more than 200,000 people resounded in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, several other mentors came on stage to greet the audience, and then the students of this year's Super Idol talent show appeared.

The most popular program this year is Super Draft, and the cheers from people are no less than that of the mentor.

Especially when the sexy stunner American sweetheart Marilyn Monroe came on stage, the cheers were even more enthusiastic. After Monroe sang a song, she retired to the stage, and many Hollywood stars came on stage to cheer for the speech.

ABC TV is broadcasting live at this time. Today is Saturday off. Most families in the United States gather in the living room to watch this show. It is rare to see so many stars at one time. How can people let go.

There are still many people who are envious of being able to go to the scene. If they go to the scene, they can drink free Pepsi.

finally.

President Johnson takes the stage.

Johnson waved his arms gently, with a sunny smile on his face, Hello people of Los Angeles, I'm your President Johnson.

Wow wow wow~~!

There was a burst of cheers from the scene.

President Johnson began his passionate speech, from future governance to improving people's livelihood, from developing the country to international relations.

In terms of international relations, Johnson specifically mentioned the leaders of a certain country in the East, In order to defeat the Fazis, we provided them with a lot of support, but after we won World War II, their greedy and corrupt attributes began to be exposed.

I will not continue on the wrong path, so I stopped the aid to them in time, because all the aid was the property of the American people, they felt that they could not get anything from me, and they turned to Dewey, and what happened next You must also know about the incident, I have seen the documentary Black Gold, and it is really wonderful.

Hahaha~~~!

Hundreds of thousands of people laughed in the square.

Johnson gave his own speeches and did not forget to step on his competitors, but this kind of stepping on opponents often happens in presidential campaigns, and people will not think that Johnson is stingy and unrestrained.

Finally, the speech ended with warm applause.

The entire speech event lasted for more than four hours. According to incomplete estimates, the number of people who came to the scene may exceed 300,000.

There are dozens of Hollywood stars appearing to cheer, and such a lineup is bigger than any show.

As soon as the speech was over, all parties began to report.

Global Times, This is a 'speech of the century'. When President Johnson came to Los Angeles, the crowd welcomed him. There were more than 300,000 people at the venue. President Johnson gave a two-hour speech and received dozens of applause.

Los Angeles Times, There were dozens of stars at the speech scene, the momentum was huge, and the people were extremely enthusiastic. According to the latest data from the survey company, President Johnson's approval rate has surpassed that of Dewey, and now the balance of winning the championship has shifted to Johnson.

Los Angeles Pictorial, Yesterday, President Johnson drank more than 500,000 bottles of Pepsi at the speech venue, all of which were provided by Pepsi for free. I have to say that the president of Pepsi is really good at advertising. With this opportunity, Pepsi can sell in the United States. Another big advertisement was made in front of the public.”

President Johnson, who was still excited when he returned to his residence, saw Hardy come up and gave him a hug.

Hady, you know, I seem to be back when I just entered the White House three years ago. At that time, my approval rate reached 80 percent. The American people like me. They said that I led everyone to end the war. Johnson sighed.

But slowly, as time went by, people seemed to forget about my efforts, they no longer liked me and wanted to find a new president. I didn't have any negative news. Good relations, foreign policy failures, etc.

Hehe, but today, I once again felt that feeling of being loved by the people, said Johnson looking at Hardy and hugging him again, Hady, I know who helped me.

After speaking, he patted Hardy on the shoulder twice.

The two sat down, Hardy handed Johnson a glass of wine, Johnson took a sip, suppressed his excitement, and continued:

Hadi, when I came, I was asking the Secretary of State to prepare the 'White Paper on the East', and I was going to leave them completely, they were going to go to Dewey, which is unforgivable, and in my opinion, they are indeed no longer worth investing in.

Johnson just said it casually, but Hardy moved in his heart.

If this white paper comes out, I'm afraid it will be a devastating blow to the bald man. Before Johnson asked the National Institute to make remarks and no longer supported it, it was just remarks and could be changed at any time. That really broke.

I'm going to focus on Europe in the future, Hardy, do you know the Marshall Plan? Johnson asked Hardy.

of course I know.

How could Hardy not know about such a big thing, and in his previous life, he also read a book about the Marshall Plan, and learned a lot of things later, and now the life of European countries is very sad, and it is precisely because of the Marshall Plan that Europe can recover.

certainly,

The U.S. also has its own plans, that is, to gain the right to speak in the world through aid, and to compete with Britain and France for the position of world leader.

There were only Johnson and Hardy in the room. Johnson looked at Hardy and said, In April of this year, I officially signed the Marshall Plan and approved the establishment of the General Administration of Economic Cooperation, which will provide assistance to more than a dozen Western European countries in the next three years.

Aid includes funds, industrial products, technology, equipment, food, etc., and the total amount is about 4 billion US dollars a year.

The economic team predicts that those countries are now in vain and lack materials. It is estimated that more than 80% of the funds to support them will be returned to the United States, and then exchanged for various commodities and shipped to Europe.

Hardy's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized the huge business opportunities contained in it.

The Marshall Plan has only just begun, but I have found some problems. I think it is still insufficient to rely only on the government's strength. I plan to organize a private business study group, led by the government, to go around Europe.

Some members of the delegation have funds in their hands, they can lend to those countries, they have commodities, they can sell to them, they have technology, and they can cooperate. Those countries have also promised to open some projects. If anyone in the delegation is interested in these projects, they can It's definitely a win-win thing to think about investing in.

Hardy looked at President Johnson, and said that he was an old politician, and it was estimated that he could win over many consortia.

certainly.

With the relationship between Hardy and Johnson, he must have a piece of the cake.

Hadi, I am going to set up three teams for the first group of delegations. You can form a team. Johnson said.

Investing in Johnson is starting to pay off.

And it was the first group of the delegation. The first group of people who came to the table would eat meat. After they had eaten, the people behind them would come back, and I'm afraid they would only eat bones.
