Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 329: The Hardy Financial Empire is Beckoning

Mr. Hardy, if you want to obtain the right to manage the Cayman Islands, you must become a British citizen. Our idea is that you join the United Kingdom, obtain British citizenship, and His Majesty the King grants you a title, and then grants you the Cayman Islands. You also become the governor of the Cayman Islands, so it is completely legal in terms of jurisprudence.

Hearing that he wanted to transfer British nationality, Hardy hesitated.

Does he have any nostalgia for American nationality, the main reason is that he must make money in the United States, and it will be very troublesome without American identity.

Is dual citizenship okay? Hardy asked.

Of course you can. The main reason is that foreigners cannot be officially conferred titles, but only honorary titles. Honorary titles are not suitable for granting fiefdoms, so you are required to join the UK. Minister Lan Bai said.

Hardy thought about it. He didn't know if dual citizenship would affect him, especially in terms of economics. If there were too many things involved, he would not agree.

I'm going to go back and discuss with the group team about the matter of nationality. You know that the Hardy Group is not owned by me alone, and it involves all interests. Also, how much are you going to ask for in the Cayman Islands? Hardy asked the price .

Minister Lan Bai smiled, As I said just now, it was bestowed by the king, not sold.

This sentence made Hardy think of inviting Buddha statues and god statues.

Can't be called to buy,

Please.

This is not bought, it is bestowed by the king.

Hardy knows,

Sometimes this statement is more expensive than spending money directly.

Then tell me about the conditions, Minister Lan Bai. Hardy said.

The government wants Wells Fargo to provide a loan of US$100 million to the UK and at the same time purchase US$100 million in five-year treasury bonds, said Minister Lambert.

Hardy said heartily.

Why don't you fucking buy it? If you only buy this island, the normal price will be ten to twenty million US dollars.

Moreover, Hardy also knows a hidden danger, that is, the king's bestowment is not as strong as the business relationship, and is more accepted by the laws of the world. What if someone stands up and says that this bestowment is unreasonable and must be revoked?

Buying and selling is different. There is a contract, and the whole world must agree.

Even if he is not the governor and has no management rights, the land is still private to him.

Hardy said:

Nominally it can be bestowed by the king, but I want to sign a formal sales contract with the British government.

Minister Lan Bai thought for a while, This should be fine.

Also, the price you are asking is too high. 100 million national bonds and 100 million loans, 200 million US dollars for investment, can bring me double profits in five years. The Cayman Islands are definitely not worth 200 million US dollars.

The price issue, the two sides decided to discuss another day.

Today is just a preliminary contact, and there are problems to go back to discuss. After Hardy bid farewell to Minister Lan Bai, he went to the telegraph office to send a telegram to the United States, informing Andy to bring the financial and legal team over.

This is a big deal.

It was already two days after Andy brought people to the UK urgently. In the hotel room, Hardy explained the matter to Andy and the lawyer in detail.

Is there any harm to me if I get dual citizenship? Hardy asked.

The lawyer said: Your acquisition of British citizenship will not be affected politically. After all, both countries recognize dual citizenship, but there is some relationship in terms of taxation.

Of course, the vast majority of taxes are based on the principle of territorial taxation. The company pays taxes wherever it is, but there are some special taxes that may involve double taxation issues, but these problems can be avoided through operation.

That's all right?

Yes, no problem.

After letting the lawyer go out, only Hardy and Andy were left in the room. Andy looked at his boss and asked, Boss, why did you suddenly think of buying an island in the Caribbean Sea? What are your plans?

Hardy poured a glass of wine for Andy, and said with a smile: Isn't it great to open a casino, a tourist area, and an autonomous territory?

Andy looked at Hardy, I feel that you have deeper thoughts.

Hardy chuckled and took a sip of his wine.

If the island is all ours,

And having autonomy, opening a casino is only one aspect. Our HD security can also use it as a base to build stronger armed forces, right, because we have the right to form an army.

That island is overseas, what is the most convenient, money laundering, we can develop it into a money laundering center, of course, it is up to you financial experts to figure out a way to legally launder money.

Hardy naturally wants to build the Cayman Islands into an offshore paradise like the future.

In later generations of Cayman, more than 50 banks have opened banking offices on the island, more than 100,000 registered companies, and funds exceeding US$3 trillion.

This is still on the surface.

secretly,

There are more things that can be done.

For example, in the drug trade, money is transferred from one company to another. There is no supervision in Cayman. The drug trade does not need to send the money directly, but to an overseas account. It is simply too convenient to send the goods to another company.

The same can be said of overseas commodity smuggling.

In future generations, the amount of money laundered in the world every year will reach trillions, and may even reach three trillions. What a terrifying figure.

If Wells Fargo is built on the island, the money will be circulated in Wells Fargo, which means that the money will always be in the bank. Hardy has the right to mobilize the money. Think about how powerful this fund can be.

When it comes to financial investment, a country is afraid.

In fact, it doesn't matter how big the territory is, as long as it is completely under our control, this is the biggest role of the Cayman Islands. Hardy said.

Andy looked at his boss in shock.

He really didn't expect that the boss had such a huge plan.

Leave the case company.

tax avoidance.

money laundering.

Independently master financial channels.

Andy gets excited when he thinks about it. In this case, Hardy Group can definitely become the best company in the world.

Even families like Rockefeller and Morgan are jealous.

Hardy patted Andy, who was a little excited, and said: This is just a long-term plan. If we want to achieve that step, there is still a long way to go. I am afraid it will take more than ten or twenty years. The problem we need to solve now is, what are we going to do? Take the Cayman Islands at the cheapest price.

After all, I'm going to invest in Japan next, which will require a lot of money, and I can't use up all the money in the UK at once. Hardy said.

The Minister of Finance reported the exchange to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The differences between the two sides were not big, and it was nothing more than the issue of price. The two sides decided to formally negotiate another day.

Now that Andy is here, the negotiation is naturally handed over to him, a professional.

In the past two days, Andy led the financial team and the legal team to draw up a series of negotiation outlines, including the ownership of the Cayman Islands, the land ownership of other residents on the island, various legal rights of the autonomous territory, and so on.

Anyway, they can win over, and they will not let it go.

A few days later, the two sides started formal negotiations. Although they were negotiating with the Ministry of Finance of the other party, the people in the Hardy Group were not at all cowardly, and they fought as they should.

There are several problems with it.

There are now about 3,000 residents on the island, of whom 30% are white, 30% are black, and 40% are of mixed race.

These 3,000 people all live in Georgetown, Grand Cayman Island, the largest of the three islands, and they occupy a lot of land. How to calculate this, after all, Cayman Island is not big?

Hardy doesn't care what they say.

Invited by Princess Margaret on this day, she took Taylor to the Royal Ranch Manor on the outskirts of London, which covers an area of ​​more than 4,000 hectares. Today's activity is hunting on horseback.

When Taylor and Hardy came, they both wore outdoor clothes. There were various pistols and shotguns in the equipment room. According to his own habits, Hardy wore a denim belt with a revolver on it, which was for close-body defense.

The shotgun in his hand is James Purdey \u0026 Sons, which is a shotgun used by the British royal family, and it is definitely a luxury.

The three rode forward along the dirt road in the forest.

Margaret wanted to show off her riding skills, so she took the lead. Hardy could have caught up with her, but he had to take care of Taylor, so he kept pace with Taylor.

Ah~~ bang!

Suddenly there was a scream ahead.

Hardy was startled, and immediately shouted to Taylor: You wait here. After speaking, he urged the horse to run in the direction where Margaret yelled.

In fact, the distance between them was not too far, only about 200 meters. After running around a bend, I saw Margaret sitting on the ground. Her horse had already run away, and there was a dark figure on the other side of the dirt road. He was running far away wheezing and wheezing.

Hardy saw it was a black bear.

Hurrying up to Margaret, Hardy jumped off the horse, and Margaret held her ankles in frustration, I didn't notice at all, there was a black bear lying on the side of the road, it suddenly stood up, and the horse was scared. With a jump, I was thrown off the horse in fright.

I saw a black bear and fired a shot in a hurry, and the guy ran away.

After listening to Margaret's description, Hardy felt amused. It was just a coincidence. It is said that the horses they rode were trained and would not be afraid of bears. No one thought that the bear was not in the woods, but by the side of the road. .

Ma'er suddenly saw that the distance was very close, and he was not prepared at all, so he was frightened and threw Margaret down.

Is there an injury there? Hardy squatted down and asked.

I sprained my ankle.

Yes, he died before leaving the teacher.

The hunt was over before it even started. Hardy picked up Princess Margaret and put him on his horse. Then he got on the horse, held the princess in one hand and held the rein in the other, and turned the horse's head to walk back.

As for Margaret's horse, it was frightened and ran away, and turned back to be handled by the hunting ground.

Being held in Hardy's arms, Margaret suddenly felt a strange emotion in her heart, as if the feeling of being in love appeared again.

It felt so comfortable to be in his arms.

Soon he came to Taylor's side. Taylor saw Hardy holding Margaret, and the two came back riding a horse, and quickly asked, What's wrong with Margaret?

I just met a bear. The horse was frightened and threw her off. Her feet were injured. Let's go back quickly. Hardy said.

Taylor saw Margaret leaning against Hardy's arms, and suddenly felt a bit snacky, Margaret, why don't you ride on my horse?

No, Hardy's horse is very comfortable. After Margaret finished speaking, she gave Taylor a sneaky look.

Taylor snorted.

Give her a blank stare.

On the way back, she walked very slowly, fearing that the bumps would hit Margaret's feet. It is not yet known whether the injury is serious, so Margaret leaned on Hardy's arms.

Hadi, I heard from my sister that if you want to buy an island, the prime minister will allow you to become a British citizen, then make you a nobleman, and then grant you the position of governor. Is this true? You are going to become a British citizen? Margaret asked. .

Dual citizenship. Hardy said.

Why don't I make you my knight. Margaret said with a smile.

Your knight?

I will ride you.

If you want to be entrusted with a territory, you must be a baron or above, so this time it is likely to be a baron, and you need to be conferred by your father. Hardy said.

After returning to the dormitory, after a doctor's examination, it was a sprain, and the problem was not serious, but it took about half a month to recuperate, and strenuous exercise was not allowed during this time.

alright,

Now the obscene princess is being honest.

 …

two days later.

Negotiations had a preliminary result, Hadi became a British citizen, was granted the title of baron, and sealed the Cayman Islands as Hadi's fief, and Hadi was the permanent governor of the Cayman Islands.

The Cayman Islands belong to the Commonwealth and have full self-government.

All the land on the island is legally owned by Hardy. Those that are already in private hands, Hardy has the right to take them back. Of course, an appropriate price must be given.

That is to say, Hadi has the legal right to demolish and can take back the land held by other people at any time. As for the appropriate price, it is up to him, the governor, to decide.

And the price of all this is to pay 10 million US dollars for the purchase of island land.

And buy 60 million British treasury bonds, and at the same time loan 50 million to the Bank of Scotland, the time is 5 years, calculated at normal interest.

For the United Kingdom, a small island in the Caribbean Sea is only 260 square kilometers in total, and they can get back 120 million U.S. dollars in funds. They feel that they have made a lot of money.

And Hardy also felt that he had earned it.

In fact, the title of nobility in the UK is not worth much. Thousands of people in later generations can get the title of nobility every year. As long as you have money, you can be a noble if you are not a nobleman. Hardy was an ordinary person before. In the United States, Britain, and Japan, no one dares to take it lightly.

What he cares about is the autonomy of the Cayman Islands.

With the right of autonomy, you can play things that you couldn't play before. Hardy was excited. He felt that the Hadi Financial Empire was waving to him.
