Hardy Empire 1945

After Hardy chatted with Princess Elizabeth, Hardy left, and Taylor naturally followed Hardy, and her salute was still in Princess Margaret's bedroom.

Hardy took it together. Taylor had a lot of salutes, and a royal servant helped her clean it up. Margaret looked at Hardy who was drinking tea in the living room, and came over to sit beside her.

I envy Taylor.

Princess Margaret said quietly.

Hardy looked at Margaret with a slumped face. In fact, he knew why the princess envied Taylor, because Taylor was freer than her.

Hardy took a sip of tea and didn't speak.

Margaret glanced at Hardy, and asked a little sullenly, Don't you ask me why I envy her?

Why? Hardy asked.

Margaret heard Hardy's perfunctory tone, and hated her teeth.

Because I'm not happy and free, I stay in the palace all day, have to observe a lot of etiquette, and do what others ask me to do. In fact, I'm just a marionette. I can't see the meaning of life. Margaret road.

Hardy was a little surprised.

I didn't expect this girl to see through all of this, maybe it's because of being in it, many people see the royal family's glory, but in fact, all the behaviors of the royal family members are firmly fixed by the rules, and there can be no overstepping.

If there is any problem, it may make headlines.

This kind of life is really meaningless, anyway, Hardy doesn't like it.

Hardy had no solution to Margaret's problem, and to be honest, he didn't want to get involved.

Although Margaret was very beautiful, Hardy didn't have much idea about her. The status of this girl was too troublesome.

Find other women by yourself, even the most popular actress in Hollywood, you can play casually, no one cares if it is good or not, and it is easy to settle with your own identity and strength, but if you really mess with the royal princess, especially the British princess , that would be much more troublesome.

After all, the British are still recognized by the English-speaking world, and the influence of the British royal family is also the highest in the world.

Hadi, can you help me find a way? Princess Margaret lowered her voice, with pleading eyes.

Hardy look at this chick.

Actually, if you want to go out and play, it is not impossible. In the name of contributing to the country, you can visit other countries and improve the image of the UK.

You can also be a charity ambassador and go to poor places to give condolences. In fact, there are quite a lot of things you can do.

Margaret frowned, My sister and I have gone to some places to give condolences, and it's not interesting at all.

In addition to condolences and charity, you can also participate in overseas activities, such as Italian fashion weeks, American fashion shows, jewelry exhibitions around the world, etc. It's better than staying in the palace.

That's right, but it costs a lot every time I go out, and my sister won't let me go out frequently. Margaret said.

You can make money yourself.

How do you make money by yourself? Margaret was a little surprised.

To be an endorsement, you don't need to directly promote it. You only need to wear a certain brand of clothes or wear a certain brand of jewelry. In fact, it is an endorsement for them. The Hardy Group has a lot of luxury business. We can sign a contract privately. You Wouldn't it be rich to be our luxury brand spokesperson? Hardy said.

If Princess Margaret can be developed into her own luxury spokesperson, it will be much better than looking for celebrities to advertise.

Most of the luxury brands in Britain, France and Italy developed into internationally renowned brands because they were favored by the royal family and named for special offerings.

The brand name Princess of England is still very useful.

In the end, Hardy resorted to his trump card and leaned close to Margaret's ear and whispered: My casino in Las Vegas has a luxury shopping street, and there will be a collection of luxury brands from all over the world. There's a fashion show over there.

Invite you to participate, you can make money, if I am here, I can also take you to the carnival, and I guarantee that you will be fine no matter how you play in my territory. Hardy said.

Princess Margaret's eyes lit up immediately.

That's a good idea.

She doesn't care much about making money,

What Margaret wanted was to play as crazy as yesterday. She already knew Hardy's energy. With him taking her out to play, her sister couldn't help herself.

Okay, I'll be your brand ambassador. Margaret agreed.

Putting on a princess to work for him made Hardy feel very fulfilled.

Don't worry, the shopping street in Las Vegas hasn't been finished yet. It won't be until next year. When it's finished, I invite you. The casino has a lot of fun, and it's 10,000 times better than the nightclub I went to yesterday. ’” Hardy baited again.

Margaret nodded quickly, That's it!

Taylor packed up the salute, including the salute he brought and the things he bought in London, a total of eight large suitcases.

When leaving Margaret, Margaret was reluctant to part.

In fact, playing with Taylor these days, the two have also developed a relationship. Now that Taylor is leaving, she will stay alone in the palace again.

 …

Princess Elizabeth talked to Clement Attlee on the phone and told the Prime Minister about the communication between herself and Hadi. Attlee is now worrying about money all day long. He wants to implement the welfare society and restore the British economy. Everything needs money.

Regarding the sale of the land, Prime Minister Attlee was opposed to it in his heart, but he also knew that some of the colonial land might be hard to keep.

The Cayman Islands mentioned by the princess were originally under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Jamaica. Of course, when it comes to historical evolution, Cayman and Jamaica have little relationship. The main reason is that they are close to each other, so Cayman was handed over to the Governor of Jamaica. .

Prime Minister Attlee didn't take those small islands seriously, so he didn't object to this matter in his heart. The only uncomfortable thing was the little pride left in the British Empire.

Not long after, Prime Minister Attlee drove to Buckingham Palace to meet the Crown Prince, Princess Elizabeth.

The two discussed in detail about Hardy's purchase of the island.

Hadi promised that the Cayman Islands will always belong to the United Kingdom. In fact, this is beneficial to us. Now Jamaica is fighting for independence. If the control is not good, the Cayman Islands may also be separated. It is better to sell it to him.

He demanded full autonomy.

Does the Cayman Islands have any resources? No, maybe the only thing left is the garrison, but the United States will never allow any country to set up a military base in its hinterland back garden.

The United Kingdom really wanted to, but they dare not provoke the Americans now.

I think Hardy values ​​his travel and gambling. When I came, I was checked. There are other forces in the United States running casinos in Cuba, and they are planning to rob Hardy of his profits. It is probably because of this that he thought of opening a casino in Cuba. Mann Casino.

But he is an American after all. Opening up autonomy to Americans will have an impact on the reputation of the British Empire.

There may be other solutions, such as making Hadi a British citizen.

Will he agree?

Dual citizenship.

Give another title, then appoint him as the Governor of the Cayman Islands, and then declare Cayman to be a self-governing dominion, so there will be no problem in name.

What about the price, how much can we offer?

This is a problem.

 …

Prime Minister Attlee and Princess Elizabeth discussed for more than two hours. After taking their leave and leaving, they returned to the Prime Minister's residence to convene a meeting of cabinet members to inform Hadi about the acquisition of the island.

to be honest.

Some cabinet ministers don’t even know the name of the Cayman Islands. After all, the British Empire had too many colonies in the past, including more than 50 countries and more than 30 million square kilometers of land. Who would remember the name of a small island.

But now that someone is buying it, the value of this island is immediately highlighted.

I can leave it to rot, but you have to pay a high price to buy it.

No one in the cabinet objected to the result of the discussions between the Prime Minister and Crown Prince Elizabeth. If Hadi became a British citizen, bestowed a knighthood, made him a governor, and sold him the island, all these operations are completely within the scope of the law.

Of course, this depends on whether Hardy is willing to become a British citizen.

After all, he is the richest man in America.

Issues of political influence should also be considered.

The last thing is the price. A group of cabinet leaders focused on the price issue. Everything in the world has a price, it just depends on how much you pay.

 …

Hardy received an invitation from the Minister of Finance of the United Kingdom to visit his manor. Hardy knew that something might be going on.

Hello Minister Lambert, we meet again. Hadi smiled and shook hands with the Minister of Finance.

We welcome entrepreneurs like you, Mr. Hardy, to visit the UK more often and invest in the UK. I understand that you have invested a lot in Hong Kong, which makes us very happy. If there is any problem in Hong Kong , you can come to us at any time, and we will help Mr. Hardy solve it. Minister Lan Bai said with a smile.

Both sides sat down.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, we got to the point.

Mr. Hardy intends to buy the Cayman Islands? Minister Lan Bai said.

Hardy smiled.

Yes, the scenery over there is nice. If possible, I want to turn it into a tourist area for Americans to travel to. Hardy said.

The term opening a casino is still relatively sensitive, and it is not easy to disclose it to the public. The reason for making it a tourist mecca is more suitable for publicity.

After deliberation, we feel that we can agree to Mr. Hardy's request, but we also have a few things that Mr. Hardy must meet. Minister Lan Bai said.

Please tell me.

After our discussion, the island can be sold to you, and the autonomy you proposed can also be granted, but you must promise never to leave the Commonwealth.

Hearing this, Hardy nodded.

He is not stupid.

Independence means nothing to such a small island. It has the right to self-government. In fact, except that it belongs to the United Kingdom in name, there is no difference between rights and independence.

It has its own government, the administration is not under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, it makes its own laws, taxation, trade, and foreign policy are all its own, and it has its own army. Except that it cannot declare war at will, everything else is free.

But bearing the name of the UK can get a lot of benefits. People don't know who Cayman is, but they definitely know who the UK is. If someone wants to bully you, it is equivalent to going to war with the UK.

Even if the UK is weakened now, it will be one of the five permanent members in the future, a world power, and it will be easier to make money under the banner of the UK.

No problem, I agree with that.
