Hardy Empire 1945

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

The weather was fine today, Hardy took Han Yezhen to Macau by boat, Victor was by his side, and a dozen bodyguards were behind him.

Located at the mouth of the Pearl River, Macau was originally a small fishing village. It was called Macau because of the word Macau in its name. The Portuguese obtained the right of residence in Macau in 1553, and it became a Portuguese colony in 1887.

The Japanese did not occupy Macau during World War II, so when Hardy and Han Yezhen visited, they felt that it was more stable and peaceful than Hong Kong.

When they walked through the street, both sides of the street were full of large and small gambling stalls, and there were even many small gambling stalls outside. Hardy also saw a few teenagers sitting on the ground surrounded by a cloth Playing dice with a few copper coins on top.

Victor next to him said: Boss, the casino business here now requires a gambling license approved by the Portuguese government. There is only one gambling license. The current Macau gambling king is named Fu Laorong, who has been operating the casino for more than ten years.

Now these casinos and gambling stalls, no matter how big or small, are managed by Fu Laorong, and he has a share of any business.

Hardy nodded.

Although the current business in Macau is far inferior to Las Vegas, it is a monopoly here, and a monopoly is the most profitable.

Moreover, as the only legal gambling area in Asia, it will become more and more valuable in the future.

That Fu Laorong is also the biggest force in Macau. He has hundreds of people under him, and he is also on good terms with the Governor of Macau. Victor continued.

As the only person with a gambling card, how could Fu Laorong not give the governor crazy gifts? Even Hardy dared to say that a large part of these gambling proceeds probably went into the pockets of the Portuguese.

Hardy is not interested in playing in the casino. The level of the casino here, let alone the Hardy Hotel, is not even comparable to the casinos of other mafia families. It is just some old-fashioned gambling stalls, and the inside is smoky.

Hardy's team is actually very eye-catching,

A group of more than a dozen foreigners, even in Macau, attracted many people to look at it.

They crossed the street and came to the archway of the Ruins of St. Paul's, the most famous landmark in Macau.

After Ha Di and Han Yizhen took pictures here, they came to the A-Ma Temple. The A-Ma Temple has a history of 500 years. The A-Ma Temple existed before the Portuguese occupied it. Therefore, in the hearts of Macao people, the A-Ma Temple is very sacred.

Therefore, Macau also has another name of Ma Pavilion.

Han Yizhen knelt down devoutly to burn incense and pray for blessings, folded her palms together and closed her eyes, chanting, not knowing what she was praying for.

After she got up, she looked at Hardy and asked, Do you want to pray?

Hardy is white, and the vast majority of white people believe in Jesus God. Han Yizhen has never asked what Hardy's belief is. If Hardy believes in God, he may not worship Mazu.

The more you worship the gods, the more you will be blessed by the gods. It's not wrong to worship more, right?

Hardy's words made Han Yezhen chuckle.

Helping Hardy to light the incense on the long-burning lamp, Hardy knelt firmly on the futon after receiving the incense. He didn't know what happened to other traversers, but he believed in God anyway.

After kowtowing, Hardy asked someone to come to Miaozhu, donated 1,000 US dollars, and wrote the names of Hardy and Han Yezhen.

A thousand dollars is not a small amount of money in this day and age, and Miao Zhu couldn't help but salute.

After coming out of Mazu Pavilion, Hardy said to Victor: Register a trading company here in Macau, buy a piece of land or acquire a company.

This trading company has someone to name it, so that others can't find it. Hardy said.

Good boss. Victor responded quickly.

From now on, this company will mainly do business with the mainland, so Hardy didn't let him belong to the Hardy Group. In the future, someone will find out about this matter and use it to criticize him.

As for the casinos in Macau, don’t worry. We will plan slowly in the future. When the industry here is mature, the racecourse is built, and the foundation is laid firmly, it will not be too late to build a casino.

As for the casino license,

At that time, you can find the Governor of Macau to clear up the relationship, and you may not be able to issue another one. There will be as many as six gambling cards in Macau casinos in future generations.

It doesn't work.

Maybe something unexpected will happen to the so-called gambling king of Macau.

Who knows.

Hardy and others returned to Hong Kong after visiting Macau. As soon as they returned to the Taipingshan Villa, the housekeeper told Hardy that Li Chunshan called and hoped to come and visit.

It's Uncle Chunshan. Han Yizhen said.

Hardy knew that this Li Chunshan might be thinking about doing business, and said with a smile, Why don't you ask him to have dinner, so we can chat if we have something to do.

Okay. Han Yezhen said with a smile.

Han Yizhen called Li Chunshan directly and invited him to come over for dinner, and Li Chunshan said he would come soon.

Half an hour later, Li Chunshan came to the door.

Han Yizhen went out to greet her, and Li Chunshan's identity was there. He was Han Yizhen's father's brother, that is, Han Yizhen's uncle.

Uncle Li, you are here. Han Yizhen welcomed Li Chunshan into the room with a smile.

Li Chunshan nodded with a smile.

When he saw Hardy, Li Chunshan immediately greeted him again: Mr. Hardy is bothering you.

Don't bother, let's go to the study to talk, let Yizhen cook more dishes. Hardy said.

Uncle Li, you two talk, I'll prepare the meal. Han Yizhen said with a smile.

Hardy and Li Chunshan came to the study, Hardy handed Li Chunshan a cigar, This is a Cuban cigar, you can try it if it is more authentic.

Okay, I'll try. Li Chunshan accepted it with a smile.

After the two lit their cigars, Li Chunshan said: Mr. Hardy, I thought about the business I mentioned earlier, and I also asked the brothers in the gang for their opinions. They came up with a few ideas.

Oh, tell me.

I'm thinking about building a few high-end nightclubs, bars, etc., will the business be good? We have a few properties in Lan Kwai Fong, and we will make the nightclubs even more high-end, and then we can entertain British or Here to do business. Li Chunshan said.

Lan Kwai Fong.

Hearing the name, Hardy knew the business could work.

This proposal is fine, but since it is going to be done, it should be done on a large scale, so that when they think of high-end entertainment places, they think of Bolan Street and become Hong Kong's business card, then the business will be good.

The location in Central is good, why not buy more properties nearby and develop them together to form an entertainment industry cluster. Hardy said.

When Li Chunshan heard this, he sighed in his heart.

Doing business with rich people like Hardy, those who have no money are really tired. They don't talk about the business of a bar and nightclub, but think of the industry group, entertainment business card, and different positions.

Then this investment is not small? Li Chunshan said.

You can discuss the specific investment with Victor, and a million dollars is enough if you think about it, Hardy said.

Li Chunshan: ...

You open your mouth for a million dollars, how can I play with you.

There is another business, which was proposed by one of my subordinates. He said that he once went to Xisha to dig seaweed, and saw that there were warships, tanks, and assault boats left by the Americans and Japanese during the battle on some islands. If these It should be a good business to take things apart and sell them as scrap iron, Li Chunshan said again.

Hardy was slightly taken aback.

He had just traveled to this world, fighting the Japanese on the Asian island battlefield, so he had a fairly good understanding of the situation here.

during war,

The Japanese were originally stationed on the island with a large number of weapons. When the U.S. military attacked, they used a large number of landing craft, and many of them were discarded on the beach.

There are also warehouses and barracks of the Japanese, which have a lot of supplies. The Americans don't care about these things at all, and just leave them there.

to be honest,

Hardy doesn't like these things, but for Hong Kong, it is indeed a profitable job.

How much is scrap iron now? Was it profitable to dismantle it in the past? Hardy asked.

This, I'm not very clear about it. The manager under me thought it up by himself. If Mr. Hardy wants to know the details, I'll call him in? Li Chunshan said.

Oh? He's here too?

Yes, I was afraid that Mr. Hardy would ask him what he thought, so I called here.

Then tell him to come in.

Huo Qingdong sat in the car all the time, he didn't know if the big American boss would be interested in the idea he came up with, although he promised to make money, but with his wealth, he might not value the hard-earned money.

Besides,

Americans are involved here.

I don't know if the boss is willing to do this kind of business.

At this moment, a bodyguard came out and knocked on the car door, Huo Qingdong got out of the car quickly, The boss told you to go in.

calls me?

Huo Qingdong was a little surprised.

Yes, call you, come with me.

Huo Qingdong hurriedly followed behind, and finally came to Hardy's study through the living room. Hardy looked at the young man in front of him, What's your name?

Back to Mr. Hardy, my name is Huo Qingdong. Huo Qingdong hurriedly replied.

Hardy took a closer look at this person, thinking that this could not be Hong Kong's Land Master in future generations, right?

You propose to go to the island to collect scrap iron?

yes.

Tell me your thoughts carefully, Hardy said.

Huo Qingdong felt that his chance had come, so he calmed down and said:

I'm in charge of running the ship and transporting the goods. I own a barge. I went to Xisha to dig seaweed before, but I didn't make any money.

A few years ago, when the United States fought the Japanese devils, many supplies were left on many islands. Later, the Japanese lost, but the Americans looked down on those things. Don't leave if you lose them. Now there are many wreckages of warships and landing craft on the beach. I heard that There are still many good things on the island.”

If these scrap irons are dismantled, they will definitely sell for a lot of money, but the Americans are in charge of it. Boss, you have a freighter with the flag of the United States. Maybe the American patrol boats that used to collect scrap iron will not care about it.

After Huo Qingdong finished speaking, he looked at Hardy.

Hardy laughed.

Li Chunshan and Huo Qingdong were a little confused by his smile.

Do you know that I fought against the Japanese on these islands at the beginning. I have killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers. The last battle was the Sulphur Islands. I was shot through the chest by a bullet, and finally retired. Home. Hardy said.

Li Chunshan and Huo Qingdong looked at Hardy with more reverence, It turns out that Mr. Hardy killed so many Japanese soldiers, I really admire it.

As for the discarded materials you mentioned, there are indeed quite a few. When we captured them, we didn't even care about the Japanese stuff. There are not only tanks and cannons on the island, but even Japanese airfields and fighter jets.

As for what you said, you are afraid of being blocked by the U.S. military. You don't have to worry about it. Have you forgotten that Hardy Company has been selling logistics materials? We, Hardy Group, are the number one seller of logistics materials for the U.S. military. The minister is my friend.

Hadi's company sent people to the island to collect supplies. It can be said that it is the behavior of the logistics department. You can tell them boldly.

I only care about one thing now. How much investment will be required to dismantle them from the island and transport them over, and what will be the final profit? Is it worth doing? Hardy asked.

Huo Qingdong had already thought about these things.

Immediately said:

Mr. Hardy, if there are one or two freighters, such as Liberty Ship, we can recruit young people from Hong Kong to collect supplies on the island.

I have calculated before that the price of scrap steel is about 30 US dollars per ton. I plan to recruit people in the market and take them to the island to collect materials. They will pay three to five Hong Kong dollars a day for three meals. Now there are a lot of young and old people in Hong Kong. There must be many people who are willing to do this job.”

As for selling the goods, you can ship them back to Hong Kong and sell them to steel companies, or you can go north and sell them directly to the north. You don't have to worry about selling them.

If the Liberty Ship is fully loaded with 7,000 tons, it can sell for 200,000 U.S. dollars. The cost of renting a freighter and burning oil for a freighter is a big part. I estimate that the cost of a trip will be 20,000 to 25,000 U.S. dollars, so the profit is $170,000+.

After Huo Qingdong finished speaking, he looked at Hardy.

Hardy nodded with a smile.

This guy is really good at calculating. These scrap steel can be sold no matter in Hong Kong or inland. Even Japan is short of steel now.

During this period, the domestic steel output was only five or six million tons, while that of the United States was 80 million tons, not even a fraction of it.

Now the country is also extremely eager for steel, otherwise it would not have set up a big steel smelting in the future, and took all the pots and pans at home to smelt scrap iron.

Okay, I think this business can be done.

However, if this business is to be done legally, it must be in the name of the U.S. Logistics Department. How about this? Hardy Company provides the freighter and collects the materials in the name of the Logistics Department. You do the specific work, and the final profit will be 20% to you. What do you think?

Li Chunshan dare not be greedy.

It's pretty good that I can get 20% of the income just by sending out someone to organize it, so I immediately nodded in agreement.

Hardy looked at the young Huo Qingdong, smiled and said, Let's stay and have dinner together later.

Huo Qingdong was a little flattered.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Hardy asked himself to stay and eat together.
