Hardy Empire 1945

The Bourne Jewelry company opened. From the Governor of Hong Kong to the Commissioner of Police, and then to the chairman and president of many companies, they all came to help him cut the ribbon.

This scene shocked all Hong Kong citizens.

The next day's newspaper reported the event, and many people said that such a jewelry company would definitely make money, and no one dared to make trouble.

If someone dares to touch this jewelry company, they will definitely not be able to take 5 steps.

Bourne Jewelry has two kinds of jewelry, Chinese and Western. Chinese jewelry is made by Yangzhou and Suzhou craftsmen, and Western jewelry is designed by Italian designers. Hardy has shares in many luxury goods companies, and even is a major shareholder. It is very simple to call a few European designers.

Those who participated in the full moon wine found that the jewelry displayed on the counter was really exquisite and beautiful. On the one hand, they wanted to cheer, and on the other hand, there was indeed a demand. On the opening day, the jewelry company sold hundreds of pieces of jewelry.

VIP room.

Han Yizhen hugged her son, and Hardy took the jewelry boxes handed over by the manager, and opened one of them, revealing the crystal green bracelet inside.

Auntie, this is a jadeite bracelet, which is extremely rare. It is a gift from your grandson Bourne.

As Hardy said, he handed the emerald bracelet to his son. The little guy's hands were very strong, and he grabbed the bracelet vigorously.

Han Yizhen held her son's little hand and passed it to her mother. The little guy stared at his grandma with wide eyes and didn't let go.

Han Yizhen pulled down, and the little guy hummed hard.

Mother Han leaned forward and back with a smile.

Jade was popular during the period of the Republic of China, and was especially sought after by people. In fact, jade, like diamonds, was advertised.

As long as you fool well, stones become treasures.

Hardy now has a large amount of jadeite in his hands, and now the jadeite production area is controlled by rabbits, and there are almost no export channels for rabbits. At least for decades, Hardy has been their largest exporter, which is equivalent to Hardy's monopoly Emerald business.

Any monopoly is a good business.

Next, Hardy is going to use the resources in his hand to work on Jade, so that Europeans and Americans will also like Jade.

Hardy took out another piece of ancient jade and gave it to Father Han, saying, Uncle, this is an ancient jade from the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that it came from the tomb of Li Shimin, the king of Tang Dynasty. It is a gift from a child to the master.

Influenced by his own father, Han's father is also a lover of antiques. These days, he feasted his eyes on the Hardy Museum in Hong Kong. He went in and studied it when he had nothing to do. He happily accepted the ancient jade given to him by his grandson.

It wouldn't do Hardy any harm to coax the two old men.

After all, his daughter gave birth to your child, and it was still a little unclear. He is also a big family and not an ordinary family. It is not easy to accept it.

I have been in Hong Kong for over a month.

Time to enter October.

Hardy bid farewell to Han Yezhen and returned to Japan. Now the business in Japan is going very well. Hardy calculated that he can earn about 200 million US dollars in Japan this year. This is a legitimate business, and the profit is already very remarkable.

Underworld business black market + ice, there should be more than 100 million US dollars.

In the current red-light district business, although the number of American soldiers has decreased because of the US military going to war, many people have made money because of the business, and the Japanese have filled the gap, so the money earned has not decreased.

Because of the war order, the company is now at full strength, the entertainment business ABC TV station has become the number one TV station in Japan, and the singer contest is in full swing.

Peninsula in October.

The situation changed a lot. MacArthur drove straight in, Lao Jin rushed to the door to plead, and finally Rabbit made the decision to send troops.

To know,

At that time, the economic gap between the rabbit and the eagle was 30 times.

Eagle is the richest country in the world, with a complete industry, the strongest logistical supplies and military strength, and a town house killer.

As for the rabbit, it is really poor and white, and it is reluctant to add salt to a radish and cabbage.

But in this way, with strong willpower, he sent troops.

Japan in October.

It is a good tourist season.

After reading the newspapers about the peninsula, Hardy decided to go out for a walk.

Sayuri received a call from Hardy, asking her to get ready to go out to play. Sayuri was very pleasantly surprised, because during this time Sayuri was serving Hardy, and every time she left in a hurry, Hardy didn't even let her stay overnight.

She is like a firefly.

Even so, Sayuri was already very happy, thinking that it was His Excellency Hardy, the most powerful and richest man in Japan right now.

It was her honor to serve such a man.

Sayuri put on the most beautiful kimono, got in the car sent to pick her up, and then went all the way to a small town at the foot of Mount Fuji.

Saiduri saw Hardy on a wooden bridge, and ran over in clogs. Hardy was admiring the scenery in early autumn, but when he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw Sayuri in a purple kimono. come over.

In fact, Sayuri is only 21 years old.

Still a girl.

I'm sorry, Mr. Hardy, I'm late. Sayuri ran up to her and apologized with a slight panting bow.

Accompany me into the mountains to see the scenery. Hardy said.

Okay. Sayuri nodded obediently.

The two walked on the mountain road. Due to the early autumn, the colors of the mountain were layered and rich, and the clogs were picked on the stone road, making a rattling sound.

this moment,

It reminded Hardy of a movie The Dancing Girl of Izu that I had seen, in which Yamaguchi Momoe wore kimono clogs and walked with Miura Yuwa all the way, and the clogs made rattling sounds from time to time.

Want to make a movie? Hardy asked.

Ah~!

Sayuri was surprised.

The two didn't speak for a while, and Mr. Hardy's first sentence was to ask her if she wanted to make a movie, which made Sayuri a little confused.

Me, I haven't studied acting.

Actually, the most important thing about acting is nature. I just ask if you want to make a movie. Hardy asked again.

I~

Sayuri glanced at the man's profile.

I thought about it.

Hardy nodded.

Have you read Kawabata Yasunari's novel, Izu Dancer, the way you walked just now reminded me of the heroine in the novel, then make it into a movie, and you will play the dancer.

There seems to be a little difference in age, but Sayuri looks very young, and it is enough for the makeup artist to make her teeth a little younger.

Sayuri looked at the man.

Is this the thinking of a strong man? He can do whatever he thinks of without worrying too much.

Ordinary people, even thinking about this scene, would not want to turn that story into a movie.

Because it takes a lot of money to make a movie.

It's not something ordinary people can bear, but to Mr. Hardy, it's nothing at all.

Sayuri is very excited at the moment, if she can make a movie and stay on the screen, maybe people will remember her forever.

There is a hot spring hotel in the middle of the mountain, a house with a pure wooden structure.

Hardy's bodyguards had come and made arrangements.

The boss bowed after seeing Hardy.

Please enter Hardy and Sayuri.

in the room,

Sayuri's kimono was peeled off layer by layer.

This scene is very much like a romance movie.

In the hot spring pool.

Hardy soaked comfortably in the hot water, and Sayuri next to him helped Hardy wipe it gently. Saiduri didn't wear any clothes on her body, which is a Japanese tradition of bathing in hot springs.

night.

Sayuri finally slept next to Hardy.

This made her excited and uneasy.

 …

After two days of traveling abroad, after returning to Tokyo, Hardy received two telegrams, and frowned slightly after reading the telegrams.

One was from Andy.

Andy got the news that Congress was studying further political isolation and economic blockade of the East due to the rabbit's troops.

And it was even more ruthless than the Soviet Union.

The telegram said that Congress even considered closing Hong Kong and Macau, because they are too close to each other, and there will inevitably be entanglements. The US government intends to prevent a screw from getting into the hands of rabbits.

Hardy can't do anything to close the rabbit, but if Hong Kong is closed, it will definitely have a great impact on Hong Kong's economy.

Hardy has a lot of industries in Hong Kong. Most of the factory’s raw materials come from the United States. Your mother doesn’t allow exports to Hong Kong, so what about my factory in Hong Kong.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Hardy.

Another telegram was sent by the Screen Actors Union.

Hardy is the chairman of the Screen Actors Union, and Li Gen is the vice-chairman. Li Gen doesn't care about acting, but he does a good job in government affairs. Hardy doesn't have time to deal with the affairs of the actors' union. Li Gen is basically in charge of it now .

He will handle small matters by himself, and if he encounters a major matter, he will ask Hardy for instructions. This time, he has encountered a major matter.

McKenzie doctrine is cleaning Hollywood, and has had a major impact on Hollywood's acting career, directors and actors. Now many companies can no longer operate normally, for fear of being labeled as a collaborator, and become trembling.

And there is a growing trend recently.

Hardy naturally knows what this McKinsey is. McKinsey is the state senate of the United States. In February 1950, this guy suddenly fired on Capitol Hill, saying that he had a list of 205 people, all of whom were suspected of collaborating with the enemy. uproar.

In fact, the background is that due to the intensification of the Cold War, some people occupied the labor union and launched tens of thousands of strikes in a few years.

That’s right, tens of thousands of times, almost a few or even dozens of times a day. This is one of the reasons why the business here is booming after the establishment of the Japanese factory. The United States often goes on strike, and the workers do not produce. Cheaper than US made so orders keep coming.

But not everyone has the ability of Hardy and the seven major consortiums. Because the strike caused heavy losses to many companies, some people backed McKinsey, and this guy began to stand up and bombard him. Coupled with the help of caring people, and even the help of the FBI, it was like this Enemy McKinseyism began to spread.

Hollywood, as a cultural center, was naturally affected, and the investigation team began to look for evidence that the actors and directors communicated.

As long as someone opposes him, he will accuse you of being a collaborator, investigate you further, and even judge you.

He made himself a representative of political correctness.

The most important thing is the background of the times, which also gave him a certain soil. The peninsula war and the intensification of the Cold War have made McKinsey more and more unscrupulous.

In fact, Hardy knew this McKinsey, and he also knew that he had ravaged for four years in his previous life, and then disappeared.

Hardy originally didn't intend to talk to him, after all, it had nothing to do with him, but Li Gen's last words made Hardy a little annoyed.

People from the investigation team issued a notice to the actors' union, planning to conduct an investigation on all actors in the near future, requiring the union to cooperate.

The investigation list includes Heidi Lamarr, Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, etc.

I also got news that the investigation team is going to review the contents of all film companies' movies and TV stations' programs. Anyone who is suspected of being a news agency must be removed from the shelves and deal with the relevant personnel. The film companies include HD Films and ABC TV station. .”

Hardy's face became a little gloomy.

He said to the secretary: Send a telegram to Henry and ask him to prepare his manpower. I will return to the United States immediately, and I have something to do.

Inform the crew and leave in half an hour.

Henry received a telegram from Hardy. Although it didn't say anything, Henry could see a lot between the lines.

The tone of the boss is a little unhappy. It seems that someone has made him unhappy, haha. Henry muttered to himself with a smile.

Henry didn't care much about who his opponent was.

He only listens to Boss Hardy.

He now has more than a thousand people under him, and he can do a lot of things. As long as he doesn't launch a coup, he can handle everything else.

certainly,

In this broken place in the United States, coups are meaningless, and everything can be controlled with money.
