Hardy Empire 1945

Johnson and Hardy chatted in the office for more than two hours. Johnson said: It's time for exercise. The doctor said that my cardiovascular is not good. Let me have time to take a walk. Hardy, go for a walk with me.

Of course.

Hardy readily agreed.

The two came to the South Lawn of the White House. This is the back garden of the White House. The total area is about 100 acres, which is not too big. However, the South Lawn is well-known. The US president often meets foreign heads of state and holds press conferences here. .

The two chatted while walking.

We talked about Japan again, and then we talked about Hong Kong. Knowing that Hardy has a lot of investments in Hong Kong, Johnson asked: What is the situation in Hong Kong now? I have read some reports, but they are not very intuitive.

You asked the right person. I just went to Hong Kong before returning to the United States. I also met with the Governor of Hong Kong, Gregory Gregory. A few days ago, the British issued a statement recognizing the East. , My investment in Hong Kong has been preserved, and now it has begun to increase in value. Hardy said with a smile.

Johnson was not so happy, This is not what I want to see. The British gave up the policy we discussed in advance for a little benefit.

after WWII.

The United States is gradually becoming the world leader.

Britain is no longer beautiful, but still wants to maintain the dignity of the world's largest country, so the United States and Britain will have many differences and collisions in many places.

To put it bluntly, it is all for their own interests.

The transfer of power between Britain and the United States has not been smooth sailing. There are many dirty things hidden in the dark, such as the interests in the Middle East. The two sides are fighting red-faced.

The rapid collapse of British overseas colonies also has the shadow of Americans behind it.

Hardy said: Now the British colonies are fighting for independence one by one. The British are fighting fires everywhere. Moreover, with their own strength, it is really difficult to fight against the country in the east. The main reason is that it is too far away, and even sending troops will not help.

In order to protect the Malacca waterway leading to Hong Kong, Japan, I built a security base in Southeast Asia. I heard from my subordinates that Malaya is also very noisy now, involving many forces, and the British are too overwhelmed to fight the fire.

Johnson nodded, I have also read the report on the situation there, involving Malays, Indians, and Chinese. Now I am worried that if it is affected by red, there will be major changes.

It seems that the United States and the United Kingdom have similar considerations.

The most worrying thing is the expansion of Hongsu's power.

Hardy said in a very casual tone: Actually, there is a simple way to solve the troubles over there.

Oh, how? Johnson asked.

Split.

Didn't many places in the UK establish a self-governing dominion? It can still be done there. No one wants to fight. The vast majority of people want to have a stable life. Give them a stable environment, and they will naturally stabilize. There is no basis for trouble. , naturally no one will make a fuss.

Establishing an Eastern society with a democratic system is also a template.

Hardy knows the changes in the future and is suppressed by various forces. The most injured are the flower growers in Southeast Asia. The rights they get are very low. If an independent country can be established and normal rights can be obtained, it is actually a very good choice.

Johnson listened to Hardy's words and fell into thought. He thought the idea was very interesting.

The British are unwilling to give up their previous interests, and they are unwilling to let go until the last moment. The Dominion is also a helpless choice. Although it belongs to the United Kingdom in name, the United Kingdom has no benefits in these places.

However, this is a good thing for the United States. If the British colonies are split up, the United Kingdom will be weakened. When all the British colonies are lost, they can only rely on the United States.

There is also the term 'democratic template', which is very much to Johnson's appetite.

Hadi, you have a base over there, and you still have the status of a British baron. This matter can be manipulated. Johnson looked at Hardy and said.

Let me do it? No, no, no, I have so many businesses to take care of. How can I have the heart to do this? This is a thankless task. I got Cayman for business, not for the status of governor.

Hardy flatly refused.

Johnson persuaded: Your identity is more suitable than anyone else to operate this matter. If you need anything, I will support you, including military and political aspects. In a place as big as Southeast Asia, there are always more places to make money than Hong Kong, right.

Hardy pretended to think about it, Indeed, Hong Kong is too small, and there is no place to build factories, especially heavy industries. There is no room for development, and some of them are not suitable for Japan.

Well, let me pay attention by the way, you know I'm not really interested in politics. Hardy's words are very white.

In fact, I was secretly delighted.

With today's words, if Hadi does anything in Southeast Asia in the future, it is equivalent to the permission of the US government, and no one will doubt it.

night.

Johnson invited Hardy to have dinner at the White House. Hardy met the president's wife, Beth Truman. The first lady had a very good impression of Hardy, because she knew that Hardy was the first person who sincerely helped her husband and helped him win general election.

Hardy is very good at making women happy. During the meal, he didn't talk about politics any more, but talked about TV shows, new dramas, cosmetics and clothes. The atmosphere of the dinner was very good.

When Hardy left, the first lady and Truman sent Hardy out together, and told Hardy to come over when she had time, so that next time she could cook herself.

 …

in a few days.

The Pentagon gave the order.

Appointment of Major General Williams as Acting Director of the US Logistics Administration, to be responsible for the overall affairs of the Logistics Administration until Lieutenant General Johnson resumes.

In fact, many people understand that it is almost impossible for Lieutenant General Johnson to return to work normally, unless God shows up. Williams said that he is the acting director.

Many congratulated Williams on his promotion.

Hardy also flew from Las Vegas to Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Williams saw Hardy and gave Hardy a big hug.

Thank you Hardy, this is all due to you. Williams said.

No, you are indeed suitable for this position.

The two found a secluded place, had a good drink, and chatted while drinking. Williams said: Hadi, I plan to reform the logistics supplier system in a few days to allow more private capital to enter.

The current logistics system is too complicated. The more complicated the system, the harder it is to manage. In fact, if you use a supplier like the Hardy chain store, three or four are enough. We place the order, and you are responsible for customizing the supply, which is simple and efficient.

There is also the issue of material transportation for overseas military bases that you told me before. The logistics department maintains its own transportation system, and the cost is very high. In fact, it is far inferior to leasing, so I plan to outsource part of the transportation of materials for overseas military bases.

Needless to say,

This Live Hardy Shipping is perfect for it.

This is the benefit of helping him to rise to the top. This kind of exchange is very direct but also very effective.

Hardy raised his glass, touched Williams, and said with a smile: General, have you heard of my Cayman Islands?

I read in the Global Times that there is no tax there, is that true? Williams said.

That's right, corporate tax, personal income tax, inheritance tax, etc. are all included. There is no tax. The seven major consortiums have opened more than 5,000 companies there, and there are more than a dozen financial institutions. The exchange of funds is convenient and very profitable. Assure.

The most important thing is that the registrant information of all companies is kept confidential. No one knows who it is. Bank accounts can use digital accounts, as long as you know the account password, you can use them. There is also a trust fund, and you can put money in the trust fund. Here, including myself and my family, can benefit forever.

Williams' eyes brightened the more he listened.

Hardy approached Williams and said in a low voice: The share of the sale of logistics equipment is now more than 6 million, and I put it all in the Wells Fargo Bank in the Cayman Islands.

Williams' breathing became more rapid.

The hundreds of millions and billions of dollars under his control have never touched his heart, because the money belongs to the public.

And the 6 million is completely his personal assets.

Although he is now the head of the logistics bureau with the rank of major general, his salary is only more than six hundred dollars a month.

Now the salary of the U.S. military is not high. The average soldier is $50 per month, the second lieutenant is $150, the lieutenant is $166, the captain is 200, the major is $250, the lieutenant colonel is $291.67, the colonel is $333.33, the brigadier general is $500, and the major general is $666. .

Even a five-star general like MacArthur's monthly salary is only $1,125.

This huge sum of 6 million can guarantee that he will continue to live a luxurious life after retirement.

Even if the money cannot be used in the United States, it can be used in other places. It is still very good to spend in Europe.

Hardy continued:

Registering a company in the Cayman Islands can hide information. I have an idea. You can use the name of your wife or children to open a company in Cayman, enter a certain amount of money, and then I will help you invest with this money.

Hardy's supermarket chain, Hardy's shipping company, even if you only buy a few percent of the shares, believe me, Williams, this stock will be worth a lot in the future. Hardy said.

Williams' eyes lit up listening.

He has no doubts in Hardy's ability to make money, and Hardy's supermarket chain and Hardy's shipping company will cooperate with the US Logistics Agency in the future, and he believes that it will be very profitable.

How about using my son's name? Williams said.

Of course no problem. Hardy nodded with a smile.

As for the specific details, I will talk about it later.

In fact, doing business is all about benefit distribution, don’t try to take all the benefits to yourself, you may get it once, but never the second time.

For partners, to achieve equal benefits, you can take the big head, but you must also set aside benefits for others, so that it can last for a long time.
