Hardy Empire 1945

The stock market crash in Japan is very similar to the rubber stock market crash in the late Qing Dynasty, and that stock market crash was a financial scam created by the Americans.

March 1910,

The Langezhi Rubber Company of the United States issued a rubber stock on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. From the initial denomination of less than one hundred taels, it rose wildly all the way, and it rose to more than 1,600 taels in just one month.

Why did he rise so much? First, because the price of rubber did rise a lot that year. Second, when the Langezhi Rubber Company issued shares, it promised to pay dividends every three months, and promised high dividends.

If you look at it from the current point of view, it is a Ponzi scheme, which lures people to invest with high returns, just like the Japanese stock market crash.

From the day when the Ponzi scheme was born, the basic routine has not changed. It is nothing more than some minor adjustments to the operation process, and the fundamental is to use human greed to lure investors to invest with high returns.

What you value is my income, and what I value is your principal.

During that time, Chinese people were all talking about rubber stocks. Everyone knew that as long as they bought rubber stocks, they could make money. The whole society became impetuous. Chinese banks, money houses, and even some institutions in the Qing Dynasty all put money away. Come and buy rubber stocks in big bucks.

With drumming and spreading, the stock price is getting higher and higher.

Because sitting and making money, the money comes quickly, who doesn't like it.

Some people saw the profit. During this period, more than 30 kinds of rubber stocks were listed, and the same operation was carried out. They bought stocks and paid dividends.

In the end, dozens of banks and hundreds of thousands of retail investors have been involved, and the amount of funds has reached 60 to 70 million taels of silver.

But this madness only lasted until July.

The U.S. market announced a policy of restricting rubber prices. Other countries also imposed restrictions on rubber prices because the price of rubber was too high, which affected normal economic and trade. Twelve, but this is still not stable, and the stock price is still falling.

People who invest are stupid.

I didn't expect the stock market to crash so badly, so crazy.

During that time, countless banks and money houses in China went bankrupt, and the market was wailing. Some people asked the government to rescue the market. The Qing court took action, but it could not prevent the stock market crash at all.

In August, Yuanfengrun, China's largest bank, collapsed.

Yuanfengrun Bank is equivalent to the treasury of the Qing Dynasty. This is equivalent to the collapse of the treasury. When investing in stocks, someone embezzled 3.5 million taels of Sichuan-Han Railway and invested it in the stock market. Now there is no way to make up for it. sports.

It can be said that this stock market crash exhausted the last bit of vitality of the Qing Dynasty and triggered a series of subsequent revolutions.

The operator behind this incident is GP Morgan.

The scale of the Japanese stock market crash this time was no less than that of the Qing Dynasty rubber stock market crash, with a loss of up to 500 million U.S. dollars, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese economy.

More importantly, the blow to self-confidence.

They climbed up from the quagmire of war with great difficulty. They just touched the eaves of the pit, and their self-confidence raised their heads a little, but they were kicked firmly in the face by Hans Pharmaceutical, rolled down again, and fell hard into the pit. end.

It is estimated that it will take another few years to climb up.

Things are over in Japan.

Hardy didn't stay in Japan for long. He received a telegram from the United States that the new private jet and yacht he ordered had been finished, and he was asked to check and receive the goods.

As early as two years ago, Hardy ordered a DC-6 from the Douglas Aircraft Company. His current private jet is a B-29, which is rebuilt from a fighter plane and is much louder than a passenger plane.

The DC-6 is a professional airliner with a more reasonable layout and larger interior space. Hardy asked them to use the most luxurious decoration, which is much more luxurious than the current B-29.

Hardy's plane landed directly at the Douglas airport, and the president came to greet him personally, Mr. Hardy, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Douglas President John Skelly shook hands with Hardy warmly.

Hardy is now one of the most well-known rich men in the United States, and he also has his own airline, the president of Douglas Aircraft Company. He really wants to get closer to Hardy and let Hardy's airlines purchase their passenger and transport aircraft.

It's also nice to meet you, President Skelly, where is my plane? Hardy said with a smile.

I'll take you there right now, I believe you will fall in love with her. John Skelly said with a smile.

The fuselage is beautiful bright silver, with a golden stripe in the middle of the fuselage, which looks very luxurious, and there is a unique signature on the fuselage.

Hardy.

It means that this plane belongs to Hardy's exclusive plane.

The layout in the cabin is not a row of chairs, but a round sofa like a bar box, which can seat a dozen people in total. There is a wine cabinet on the wall, where you can put wine in. There is also a small kitchen next to it, with a refrigerator and an electric oven. .

Throwing a small party here is totally fine.

Behind is a room, the big bed is the biggest feature of this room.

Hardy is very satisfied with the new plane. He decided to fly this plane in the United States or the Cayman Islands in the future. If he goes to Japan, Hong Kong, Penang and Malacca, he will use the B-29, mainly because the B-29 has the flight distance far advantage.

At noon, John Skelley invited Hardy to lunch, and introduced the products of Douglas Aircraft Company to Hardy while eating.

He even invited Hardy to invest in Douglas Aircraft Company, meaning to become a shareholder.

Now the civil aviation industry is not very prosperous, and there are many airlines in the United States. Douglas’s opponents include Boeing and Lockheed, and there are still some small aircraft companies catching up behind them. The market is so big, and the replacement is very fast. They want to bring in more investors.

But Hardy has no intention of investing in Douglas.

The company closed down in later generations, and he didn't know the reason, but as long as he knew that he failed to grow in the end, there was no need to invest in him.

Wouldn't it be good to invest in Lockheed and invest in Boeing?

This is the advantage of the traversers. Even if they don't know what's wrong with these companies, as long as they know that they are gone in future generations, they can avoid a lot of thunder.

Investing in those companies that have survived and grown in future generations, at least there is a high degree of confidence that they will succeed in making money.

In fact, for many investment companies, if you invest a hundred, you can win a few bets, and when they develop and make profits, it will be very good.

And Hardy,

But it can accurately invest in companies that develop in later generations.

Even if he does nothing now and only relies on Wells Fargo to invest in companies that will develop well in the future, I believe his assets will reach an astronomical figure in the future

Hardy flew back to Los Angeles on a new plane. I have to say that the professional airliner is quiet and comfortable to sit on.

He notified Andy in advance to pick him up at the airport, for no other reason than to show them his new plane, showing off is human nature, even though Hardy is 30 years old.

Taking Andy around the plane, Hardy said with a smile: Andy, you are now the president of the Hardy Group, with a net worth of hundreds of millions. Do you also own a private jet?

Andy shook his head.

I'm not that stupid. I spent so much money to buy a plane, and I also have to spend a lot of money to maintain it. I'm afraid I can't use it a few times a year. If it's useful, can I borrow it from you? It's even saving money on gas. Yes. Andy smiled.

Watch Hardy squint at him.

Andy asked, Why, don't you borrow it?

Hardy gave Andy a thumbs up, You are amazing.

Ha ha ha ha.

The two laughed together.

The yacht has been parked in the private yacht area of ​​the Los Angeles Bay Wharf. There were many yachts here, but there was a huge white yacht among them, which attracted people's attention. Many people looked at the huge yacht on the pier to point and communicate.

Whose yacht is it?

Who else could it be? Of course it's the richest man in Los Angeles, Jon Hardy. A person familiar with the matter said.

This yacht is so big, it has four floors. Is this a yacht? This is a cruise ship! Someone exclaimed.

It is said that it cost more than three million U.S. dollars, and the interior decoration alone is more than one million. The door handles and faucets are all made of gold. Just think about how luxurious it is. I really want to go up and have a look. Said a person next to him.

It's very simple, if you become Hardy's good friend, you will have the opportunity to go up and take a look. Someone teased.

If I can become Hardy's friend, do I still care about whether I get on a yacht or not? I can become a rich man by following him and doing something.

Hey, look, there is a convoy parked at the pier over there

Hardy took Andy to the pier, the huge yacht was parked in Hardy's private dock, and several people boarded the yacht.

The interior of the yacht is dominated by noble fir and rose, with a top-level reception room, dining room, study room, smoke bar, beauty gym, and a spacious swimming pool and rest area on the deck.

There is one master bedroom and more than 20 guest rooms, but it can accommodate hundreds of people on the boat at the same time. This boat, Hardy, is going to be used specially when going to the Cayman Islands.

How about it, isn't it beautiful. Hardy showed off to Andy again.

Andy nodded, It's really beautiful. When I want to find girls later, I'll drive it out to show off.

Hardy knew the guy had screwed him over.

But for the sake of earning so much money for myself, use it as much as you want. In fact, it doesn't matter if you give Andy a boat, but Andy really doesn't care about it.

The two stood on the deck, and Hardy climbed on the railing and looked at the sea in the distance, and asked, Did you plan to find another woman to marry?

Andy smiled, You have so many women, you're not married either.

I have too many women, and getting married is even more troublesome. You guys are almost becoming a Puritan. This is not okay. Men always have to vent. Hardy said.

Andy said: As long as I feel comfortable, it's okay, it's just that others don't understand. If I want to find a woman to vent, I must find it, right?

Andy is right. As the president of the Hardy Group, he is now worth hundreds of millions, so how could he not find a woman.

Hollywood star.

model.

Regal Qianjin.

Countless women want to be Andy's woman.

Hardy patted Andy on the shoulder and said nothing.

Isn't life like this, as long as you feel comfortable, it's fine, it's not that I can't find it, but I don't want to find it.

nothing wrong

Andy lit a cigarette and said to Hardy, The construction of Cayman is progressing well. It is estimated that it will be fully opened this winter. There are mainly casinos, shopping, and financial services there. How do you plan to attract customers?

The casino in Cuba has been open for more than half a year. I heard that it is very lively. Many Americans go to Cuba from Miami to play in the casino there. Henry also investigated that a lot of underworld funds came from there, relying on money laundering. It can make a lot of money, and Cuban casinos are twice as close as Cayman, which will definitely affect Cayman’s business.”

The casino in Cuba was opened by the American Mafia Basini and the others. After more than a year of construction, it has been completed and opened at the beginning of this year.

After half a year of operation, the business is now good. The cities on the east coast are too far away from Las Vegas. Many tourists who go to Miami can go to Cuba by the way.

It was Hardy who came up with the idea at the beginning, and was snatched by Basini and the others. But at that time, Hardy dug a hole for them, and this hole has been placed for three or four years, and now the time has come.

Hardy smiled slightly.

Don't worry, I've made arrangements.

Andy looked at Hardy, since Hardy said it was arranged, it must be arranged.

For example, this time Hans Pharmaceuticals, Hardy has been planning for two years. Through this bureau, they have made a total of nearly 500 million in cash, as well as a large number of antiques, gold, Japanese house property rights and land property rights.

In the end, Hans Pharmaceutical was also brought under the Hardy Group.

More importantly,

The whole thing left no clues.

I don’t know about Hardy’s opening of the Cayman casino, and how the mafia casino is laid out. Andy didn’t ask directly. He planned to see it for himself. A little bit of digging would be interesting.

Cuban casino.

Now the business is booming. Every day, thousands of Americans come by boat from Miami. There are casinos, beauties, and all kinds of drugs.

The casino here does not prohibit drugs at all. As long as you need it, just ask the waiter, and he will lead you to find the seller. In fact, it is arranged by the casino, but it is not clear, and the goods are very complete, such as cocaine, conch , ice, marijuana, everything.

Many people actually come for them, especially the locals in Miami, who come here by boat every weekend to enjoy it for two days before going back.

The business room on the second floor of the casino.

Basini and a dozen mafia bosses stood in front of the big glass, and the bustling casino was below, and the situation standing here was clear at a glance.

The casino is very lively, and the gaming tables are packed with gamblers.

Basini and a dozen other bosses were very satisfied with the scene in front of them. With a cigar in his mouth, Basini said with a smile: Guys, I said at the beginning that this place will definitely make a lot of money. After half a year since it opened, you all know how to make money. How much did you pay?

Basini, don't be so secretive, I can't wait to hear how much money I made. A gangster said with a smile.

Haha, Piero, your temper is still so impatient. In half a year, casinos, drugs, prostitutes, and money laundering made a total of 23 million. Everyone here can get more than one million. This is just Half a year's income, your original investment, I believe it will take less than 2 years to recover all of it, and after two years, you will only be left with money.

In fact, if their casino was opened in the United States, they would not be able to earn so much at all. The income of the casino is actually only a few million, and they do not have TV lottery.

The big head is mainly in the money laundering business. Through the casino, their drug funds and other black money can be laundered, and only then can they earn more than 20 million yuan.

These gangsters were very satisfied with the income, and they all nodded their heads.

At this time, someone said: That Hardy, what can we do with Las Vegas casinos to win over people, we can still make a lot of money here, don't you think so?

Yes, it's more free here, we can do whatever we want. By the way, it seems that Hardy came up with the idea of ​​opening a casino in Cuba. The boss of Basini took the lead, and the boss of Basini is the best, hahaha.

When Basini heard this, his face was full of pride.

But thinking of that Hardy, two years ago he was still fighting with others, but after two years, they didn't care about him at all.

Newspapers often see reports of Hardy's deeds.

Others' Hardy Group has billions of assets.

They have a large number of industries in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, and Japan.

He is now the governor of the Cayman Islands, which is equivalent to a king, no matter how small Cayman is, the power lies there.

I heard that Hardy turned Cayman into a tax haven. Isn’t this using a country to launder money? The scale of this kind of money laundering is much more powerful than his casino.

Recently he acquired two more fiefdoms in Southeast Asia.

Now he is incomparable with others, and it is estimated that they have already lost their minds, but Basini was wrong, and Hardy never forgot him.

I've been thinking about him for the past two days

in a few days.

A freighter bound for Cuba.

After someone received the goods at the Cuban pier, they quickly put them on a truck and took them away. In a certain jungle mountain village in Cuba, hundreds of young people gathered. The cargo box was opened, revealing all kinds of brand new weapons inside. cheer.

These young people are preparing to overthrow the current Cuban dictatorship by force, and their leader is Castro.

In the past, Castro went to university in the United States, studied law, and met a classmate and friend. Don’t get me wrong, that person is not Che Guevara, but a white French-born South African. The two talked a lot about ideas about democracy and freedom.

Originally, Castro wanted to fight the dictator through political means, but under the instigation of that friend, he gradually felt that armed struggle was the right way.

They go back to Cuba.

Gathered a group of passionate young people who pursue freedom and democracy.

They have no weapons.

Originally planned to rob the barracks, but this friend felt that it was too dangerous, so it was better to buy it directly from the United States.

They have no money.

That friend's family has connections, and he can get second-hand guns at a cheap price, and he can pay on credit for his sake.

Of course, the money has to be paid back.

But for them,

Debts are not expensive,

Get something first.

In this way, they got hundreds of rifles, machine guns, and a large number of bullets, and initially established their armed forces.

The bearded young man stood on the steps, held up the rifle in his hand, and shouted loudly: From today, the rebel army is formally established, and we will mobilize more people to fight with us and launch the most violent offensive against the dictator.

Victory~!

Victory~!

victory!

Hundreds of young people in the audience cheered with their rifles raised together.

Back in the command room, the bearded man asked his friend, now they are close partners, What do you think we should do next?

The first is to develop more people, the second is to create momentum, the third is to get a sum of money, the first batch of weapons can be credited, but we have more and more people, and we need more weapons and equipment supplies. Need some money.

The bearded man frowned.

Developing people is easy to talk about and create momentum. I believe that a fight with the government army will definitely create a lot of momentum if you agree. But where does the money come from? Is it to rob the bank?

His friend shook his head, Banks don't actually have much cash, except for the head office in the capital. I think there is a place that has more money than the largest bank in the stock market.

where?

“American Casino!”

There is a lot of cash there, and it is by the sea, far away from the city. There is no army stationed at all, and the defense is very lax. Even if there are, they are only American bodyguards.

Let's get a boat and take people to grab it. There should be several million. Then we blow up the casino and create enough momentum to announce our existence to the outside world. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The bearded man's eyes suddenly lit up.

That's a good idea, let's do it!

their revolutionary cause,

Start by robbing an American casino.
