Hardy Empire 1945

Nick Hilton was playing with friends in a bar when he was found, and he drove back immediately when he heard his father's urgent call.

The expression of his father Conrad Hilton made Nick feel uneasy, as if he hadn't gotten into any trouble recently.

Why the hell are you messing with Elizabeth Taylor? Conrad Hilton yelled at his son.

I, that Elizabeth Taylor is just a small actor, and besides, I haven't done anything. Nick Hilton said in a daze.

Little actor, do you know whose woman she is? You just go crazy, she is Jon Hardy's woman, Jon Hardy, you always know.

Nick was startled when he heard Hardy's name.

He naturally knew who Jon Hardy was. In their second-generation circle, Hardy's name was often mentioned.

And as people with a background, they know more than ordinary people. They know that Hardy was born in the underworld. Even now, he controls the largest gang in Los Angeles. The American Mafia is raging in the United States. Mess with Hardy.

Some time ago, HD security drove a fighter jet to shoot gangsters, and it is still one of the things they talk about.

Who would dare to play like that in America?

Hardy dared, and nothing happened afterwards, but that gangster had already been destroyed and become history.

Elizabeth Taylor is Jon Hardy's woman.

Damn never heard of it.

Nick Hilton's face turned pale, and his voice trembled: Father, I really didn't know that Taylor was Jon Hardy's woman, I, I was just chasing her, I sent her flowers a few times, I didn't do anything else .”

Old Conrad Hilton gave his son a cold look, It's a good thing you didn't do anything else, or else it wasn't a warning, but a dead body on the street.

I just received a call from Andy, the president of the Hardy Group, warning me that if you dare to provoke Taylor again, their Hardy Group will start a full-scale war against the Hilton family. Do you understand the meaning of a full-scale war? With Hardy Group and With Hardy's connections and the power he can mobilize, the only end for the Hilton family is to be destroyed.

Old Conrad Hilton yelled at his son.

Nick Hilton lowered his head, he knew that this time he really got into trouble.

You bastard,

I really want to deprive you of your status as an heir and let you go as far as you can. The old Conrad Hilton cursed angrily.

Nick Hilton was terrified when he heard that. His only reliance, and his greatest hope in life, was the property of the Hilton family. If he was deprived of the right to inherit, he would immediately become a pauper, and there would be no point in life.

Father, don't, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to cause trouble again in the future. Nick Hilton begged.

The old Conrad Hilton waved his hand, Fortunately, it's not the worst time yet, the other party is just warning, from now on, you must never appear in front of that Elizabeth Taylor, you know, even if you accidentally see it, you have to stay away Far.

Old Conrad Hilton said in a stern tone.

Okay, I promise.

Nick said in his heart, if I knew she was Hardy's woman before, I wouldn't dare to provoke her.

Also, you got into trouble this time. The Hilton family must do something to ease the relationship. I will talk to Hardy later.

As for you, you have to leave the United States. The Hilton Hotel is planning to build a new hotel in Milan, Italy. Go to Milan. Don't let me see you before the hotel opens. This is also a test for you. If you don't do well, I will still I will consider your status as an heir, said the old Conrad Hilton.

Good father. Nick Hilton responded quickly.

the next day.

Nick Hilton got on the plane to Milan.

After Nick Hilton left, the old Conrad Hilton began to contact Andy: Mr. Andy, I apologize for the previous incident. I have strictly ordered Nick to never provoke Miss Taylor again and throw him to Italy construction site.

Mr. Andy, I hope to meet Mr. Hardy, explain the matter to him face to face and apologize. Also, maybe the two of us can cooperate, such as in the hotel industry.

Andy conveyed the meaning of the old Conrad Hilton to Hardy, and Hardy didn't care, Then arrange a meeting with him.

The place where the two met was in Las Vegas. The opening time of the two major casinos is close at hand. Hardy has been staying here these days. Monroe, Taylor, and Ava are all there now, rehearsing for the performance.

All now live in Hardy's estate in Las Vegas.

Old Conrad Hilton came to visit Hardy's manor and saw three women accompanying Hardy. The old man recognized them at a glance. Ava Gardner, the most famous Hollywood movie star and singer, is known as a generation of sexy Goddess, Marilyn Monroe, now Hollywood's new sexy goddess, unmatched sexiness, Elizabeth Taylor, a well-known Hollywood actor.

All three women were apparently Hardy's women.

And this time, the son provoked was one of Hardy's women. I have to say that this Hardy is really flirtatious.

I have three of them, and others will beat and kill them if they want to get involved in one of them.

Too domineering.

Hardy came over and shook hands with old Conrad Hilton with a smile, Andy said, Hilton asked me to talk about cooperation?

Hardy didn't talk about his son.

Because that was just a dispensable little person, and Hardy just wanted him to stay away from Taylor. He just sent some flowers to Taylor, so he wouldn't kill him directly.

Hardy is a very reasonable man.

Mr. Hardy, I think Las Vegas will become more and more promising. The Hilton Hotel plans to build a hotel here. Of course, it would be even better if it can open a casino. The old Conrad Hilton smiled road.

Hardy smiled lightly, There are many people who want to open a casino in Las Vegas, but money is not enough.

The old Conrad Hilton naturally knew how it was possible for Hardy to let anyone get involved in such a lucrative business.

My idea is to cooperate with Mr. Hardy, and of course Mr. Hardy will be the leader. Conrad Hilton said.

Hardy paused.

Dao: Hadi Group had the idea of ​​entering the hotel industry before, but because of other busy businesses, it has not been involved in this for a while.

I think it's okay for you to seek cooperation, but it's not just the hotel in Las Vegas. The Hardy Group hopes to obtain a stake in the Hilton Hotel, so that we can become real partners. Hardy said.

How many shares does Mr. Hardy want? Old Conrad Hilton asked hesitantly.

It's not that the shares cannot be sold, but he hopes to maintain his status as a major shareholder. If the Hardy Group becomes the leader, the Hilton family will become wage earners.

30%, less will be boring. Hardy said.

This figure still surprised old Conrad Hilton, Mr. Hardy, even the Hilton family now only has 42% of the shares.

Then go back and discuss with other shareholders and sell them to me in proportion. With sufficient funds, Hilton Hotel can acquire more hotels and develop faster, what do you think? Hardy said to the old man.

Funds are always the biggest temptation for entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurs' minds will grow bigger and bigger, and they always want to develop their companies into the first in the industry and become the best one.

It is too slow to develop step by step.

The fastest way is naturally mergers and acquisitions, and mergers and acquisitions require sufficient funds.

Hardy has Wells Fargo, Bank of America behind him, and HSBC in Hong Kong, with sufficient funds.

Hardy’s purchase of shares is only part of the money. More importantly, he can become a partner with the Hardy Group, and it will be much more convenient to borrow money in the future.

But he figured it out.

If Hardy gets 30% of the shares, his shares will be diluted proportionally to only 29.4%, which is less than the 30% of Hardy Group, and Hardy Group will become the largest shareholder in one go.

Mr. Hardy, I have to go back and think about the shares. Old Conrad Hilton said.

No problem. Hardy lightly smoked a cigar.

By the way, how many Hilton hotels are there now? Hardy asked casually.

There are already 28 hotels in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas..., in addition to London, England, Paris, France, Rome, Italy, and a new hotel is being built in Milan.

The old Conrad Hilton said a little arrogantly, this is his 30-year-old business, and there will be a hotel almost every year.

Hardy nodded and said with a faint smile on his face: I have friends in these cities and countries. If the Hilton Group needs help, you can tell me.

The old Conrad Hilton said goodbye and left, sitting in the car thinking more and more that something was wrong. The last words Hardy said were not to help at all, but to warn.

What a warning.

He has friends in those cities, and it is easy to make trouble for the Hilton Hotel. Who are his friends, congressmen or gangsters, or both. If those people really do something against Hilton, it will be a disaster.

After the old Conrad Hilton went back, he discussed with the shareholders. In fact, the introduction of Hardy, the major shareholder, is of great benefit to the Hilton Hotel. It is impossible for the old Conrad Hilton to sell his own shares directly. Hardy wants too much , and finally decided to issue additional shares to dilute the owner's shares.

Just one day before Hardy Hotel opened, Hardy Group and Hilton Hotel Group reached an acquisition intention. Hardy Group acquired Hilton Hotel Group’s additional shares for US$48 million. Now Hardy Group’s share in Hilton Group has reached 30%.

After the transaction was completed, Hardy Group became the largest shareholder of Hilton Hotel, and the Hilton family could only rank second.

at the same time,

Hilton Hotel announced that the hotel will build a Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas in the future.

At the same time, it is preparing to acquire the Statella Hotel in the United States. This hotel is known as the Emperor of Hotels in the World and has a total of 10 first-class hotels. This acquisition will become the largest real estate transaction in the history of the United States.

certainly,

Even with Hardy's 48 million capital injection, Hilton Hotel's funds are still not enough, but they are going to take a loan from Wells Fargo Bank, and Hardy has agreed.

This is the advantage of being backed by large capital, and it is more convenient to use funds.

For the acquisition of the Hilton Hotel, Hardy is definitely not a steal.

It's just a normal business. The confrontation in the business field is sometimes more intense than the battlefield. Hardy has treated Hilton very kindly.

Another benefit of Hilton Hotel in this acquisition is the stock appreciation. Because the hotel joined Hardy, a powerful shareholder, investors have more confidence in Hilton Hotel. After the acquisition was announced, Hilton Hotel’s stock increased by one percent. Big cut.

share price increases,

The value of shareholders also increases, which is also a good thing for shareholders.
