Hardy Empire 1945

The conflict between Hadi and Indonesia has been going on, without escalation, but it has not stopped. HD mercenary ships cruise in the Strait of Malacca every day, and fighter planes also visit the sky over Indonesia every day.

The chatter never stopped.

August 1953.

There was a car accident in Jakarta. An officer named Suhart was involved in a car accident on his way home from get off work. He was knocked over by a large truck and was crushed by a large truck.

The truck that caused the accident escaped, and it is not known who did it.

This Suhart is now a mid-level officer in the Indonesian military staff. He once studied at the Dutch-Indian Royal Army Cadre School in Gobang, Central Java, and later joined the Dutch colonial army. During the Japanese occupation, he joined the Japanese occupation army Patriotic Army , to be the staff officer of the Japanese Patriotic Army headquarters.

After Japan surrendered in 1945, the August Revolution broke out in Indonesia. Suhart joined the People's Security Army and is now a lieutenant colonel in the Army Staff.

This incident was not a big deal at first, and people didn't pay much attention to it. Afterwards, the family hastily buried Suhart.

After hearing the news, Hardy nodded with a chuckle.

Although I don't know if this guy will continue to climb to that position in the future, or if he will do those things, but Hardy is not in the mood to explore, wouldn't it be easier to kill him directly?

Maybe there will be a second, a third monkey.

That's for the future, anyway, it's very uncomfortable to hear this name now, and it's over if you kill it, and it doesn't take much trouble, just sending two intelligence assassins casually is enough.

 …

During this time,

Hardy returned to the United States.

As for Penang and Malacca, it is better to leave it to his subordinates. He also has to take care of the business in the United States. Only by earning more money can he support more troops.

Not long after,

Hardy received a call from the White House, and Eisenhower invited him to the White House to discuss matters concerning Indonesia.

Now Hardy's situation is interesting.

The main identity is an American businessman.

In addition, he is also the husband-in-law of the British princess.

Governor of Cayman.

and the Governor of the Hadi Dominion.

Therefore, Eisenhower cannot treat him as a simple businessman or a British nobleman. According to diplomatic etiquette, Hardy is equivalent to the supreme leader of a region.

White House,

Eisenhower and Hardy had dinner, followed by a walk and chat in the garden, and the two talked a lot.

Regarding the situation in Southeast Asia, the Malaya issue, the Hadi Dominion's economic investment, its role in regional control, political leanings, etc.

Finally, talk about the conflict with Indonesia.

What Eisenhower meant was that someone planned to mediate between the two parties and asked Hardy what he thought.

These issues have long been considered by the think tank.

It is impossible to keep conflicting,

After all, stability can lead to development.

But through this war, on the one hand, it demonstrated the force of the Hadi Dominion, its determination to fight, and it also used it to warn the Indonesian government.

Hardy is not too demanding,

The first is to punish all the rioters, and the thugs who participated in the beating, smashing, looting and burning must be severely punished. The second is to apologize and compensate those who were killed and injured. The third is to stop the unreasonable regulations that hinder free trade. The fourth is to compensate Hadi. loss to the company.

Not much, $500 million.

When the Indonesian side heard the news, they were so angry that they almost jumped up. This is blatant extortion. The first and second items can be reluctantly accepted. country, which makes Indonesia feel colonized again.

As for the last item, 500 million US dollars in compensation, this is definitely a lion's mouth.

500 million,

Where are they getting $500 million from.

Mediation stalled.

Anyway, Hardy is not in a hurry, he is doing his own business every day, and if he has nothing to do, he will let the army go out for training.

 …

September.

The French girl Elena hugged Hardy and said happily: Hadi, I went for a check-up today, and the doctor said I'm pregnant.

yes,

Great. Hardy kissed Elena happily.

for children,

He is as much as possible.

It doesn't matter whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, they are all his children anyway. He has already planned to set up a family fund in Cayman later. All women and children will be hung in it, and how much money can he receive every year.

As for the legacy,

That depends on the situation.

However, with the family fund, they can completely guarantee that they can live a happy life without worrying about food and clothing.

The doctor said, don't do high-intensity exercise in the first two months of pregnancy. Elena said.

It's okay, the child is important. Hardy patted Elena's face intimately.

Elena stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, The doctor said there's nothing wrong with it.

 …

During this time,

Princess Margaret of Great Britain is very happy.

Since she married Hardy and was no longer bound by the royal family, she became more relaxed.

When the child is born, she can take the child to play.

Hardy also gave her a job, which is to be in charge of managing the global luxury goods industry of Hardy Group. Of course, she has a professional management team under her.

But even so,

She also needs to worry about many places.

Hardy made her do it for the sole purpose of making her feel fulfilled in life,

Hardy's secret to dealing with women is,

keep them busy

Trouble happens when you are idle, as long as you keep them busy, everyone has their own careers and the capital to settle down, they will feel safe, and they will not be so aggressive when they are safe.

The heart will also be open-minded.

Once a woman has nothing to do, her goal will only be on men, and then all kinds of things will happen to fill her time and make her feel busy and fulfilled, so they won't just stare at you.

Margaret herself liked luxury,

As a princess of the royal family, she wears all luxury items on weekdays, so she also understands these things very well. Coupled with her identity, no matter she attends any event, such as a fashion launch event or a cosmetics launch event, she will become the focus. Huge traffic.

This can also play a great role in promoting the luxury brands in your hands.

This is called making the best use of everything.

The Hardy Group has a magazine dedicated to luxury goods, and it is now the world's most popular luxury introduction magazine. The cover of the latest issue of the magazine is a photo of Margaret attending a jewelry launch event.

In the photo, the princess is holding a beautiful child in her arms. Valley

It's Hardy's cub, David Hardy.

 …

this day,

Hardy came to the Santa Clara Valley in San Francisco.

Now there are already some research laboratories and technical factories here. Hardy's idea is very simple, try to buy as much land as possible, and then open an investment company.

Because here is the location of the famous Silicon Valley in later generations.

In 1933, it became a naval research and development base, and some technology companies serving the navy appeared in the surrounding area. Later, the naval research and development base was relocated. technology company.

Later, Aerospace also moved away, but left many private technology laboratories.

And there is another advantage in the surrounding area. Stanford University, UC Berkeley, and several other universities in the UC system are all nearby. This is one of the main reasons why this place later became Silicon Valley.

Talent concentration.

Hardy sent people to negotiate with the state government, bought a large amount of land from the government, and ordered people to set up a high-tech venture capital company on the road next to Stanford University.

'Hardy Tech Investments'.

The main investment direction is technology research and development and team.

 …

William Shockley was working as a researcher at Bell Labs in New Jersey at this time. A few years ago, Shockley and two colleagues invented the transistor and applied for a patent. In the first two years, he developed a new type of junction transistor.

William Shockley is later known as the father of the transistor.

During this time,

He had a new idea,

Bell Labs used his invention patents to earn a lot of money, but he could only get a small bonus and a research grant, and this research grant was still used for research, and the things he researched would continue to be used for research. Bell Labs made money.

He wants to make more money, wants to be a millionaire.

this day,

He saw an advertisement in the Global Times, Hardy Group established a 'high-tech research venture capital company' in Silicon Valley to provide financial support, venue support, and future market support for talents, creating an incubator for future technology companies.

William Shockley was instantly tempted.

Another coincidence is that the Santa Clara Valley is the hometown of William Shockley. He grew up here, graduated from Caltech, then went to Massachusetts to study for a Ph.D., and was later poached to Bell Labs.

Why don't you just ask.

With a tentative mind, William Shockley called Hardy High-Tech Investment Company. The other party was a reception manager. After chatting with William Shockley for a while, he learned that he was a researcher at Bell Labs and had Mature products, very interested in him, invited him to the company for a detailed talk.

The contact between the two sides feels pretty good.

Then he agreed to invest in William Shockley, and William Shockley received the first investment of 1.6 million US dollars to establish Shockley Lab.

As for the equity of the investment company, it is naturally divided according to the results of the negotiation. William Shockley accounts for 40% of the laboratory's research results and patent profits, but the management right belongs to the investment company. That is to say, William Shockley's main work is still Do research, but if you come up with something, the patent will be held by Hardy Company, and the profits generated will be divided according to the shares.

In this way, the Shockley Laboratory was established and began to advertise in newspapers. Because of his research on the transistor, he had a certain reputation in the electronic technology industry, and soon attracted many talents, including Noyce, Moore, and Blank. , Claire, Horney, Last, Roberts and Greenick and other young people.

And these young men,

He is the founder of Fairchild, and later founded Intel, AMD and other companies.

The main direction of the laboratory is still transistors, but now it has gone one step further, preparing to study silicon wafers and silicon wafer-like transistors.

In fact, as early as Bell Labs, Shockley had already been doing research in these directions, and had relatively mature ideas and goals.

Now that there is a laboratory and a large investment, the rest is to do experiments.

After seeing the report from the investment company, Hardy was immediately attracted by the news. He made the decision to invest in Silicon Valley because he knew that this is the future core of high-tech, and the sooner he intervenes, the better.

I didn't expect to attract these people.

But it’s not surprising when you think about it. They are all technological talents, but they often have no funds. They need capital support. Now there is such a venture capital company willing to invest in high-tech research and development, which will naturally attract many talents in this field.

But since it's in my own bowl,

Then don't try to run away.

Hardy decided to keep them. In fact, these young people in later generations went out to start businesses because they wanted to achieve greater success and wealth.

That's perfectly fine,

I can continue to invest in them. In the previous life, they started and gradually developed after receiving investment.

And those technology companies of later generations,

He believes that after the success of research companies in Silicon Valley, more talents will be attracted to come here, and by then, Hardy will hold a large number of shares in technology companies.

This is the greatest wealth in the future.

 …

Fast forward to 1955.

Under the mediation of the United States, Britain and other countries, the Hadi Dominion and Indonesia reached a settlement agreement, mainly because Indonesia could not bear it.

The Hadi Dominion has continuously carried out armed harassment against the Indonesian mainland, making it impossible for Indonesia to work and live with peace of mind, and the loss is very great.

Finally had to give in.

Indonesia promised to thoroughly investigate the incident of vandalism, looting, looting and burning, arrested more than 200 key elements, and compensated the lost enterprises. At the same time, it apologized to the dead and injured and gave compensation.

For Hadi’s investment in Indonesia, the Indonesian government promised to buy it at the market price, but Hadi refused to sell it. The Indonesian government had no choice but to promise to protect any foreign investment and treat these companies equally.

In the end, Indonesia made war compensation, 500 million must not be available, and finally agreed to pay 120 million US dollars in installments.

The matter between Hadi and Indonesia has come to an end.

In fact, although Indonesia now oppresses the Chinese economically and controls the Chinese politically, it has not yet developed to the point of massacres in later generations. That was after Suhart came to power.

In order to avoid that from happening, Hadi had already killed Suhart in advance and let the Chinese spread within Indonesia. The Hadi Dominion grants equal rights to all citizens and welcomes them to immigrate.

later time,

There is a large-scale wave of Chinese immigrants from the Hadi Dominion in Indonesia.

The population of Penang, Malacca, and Singapore has increased significantly, and it has also brought a lot of wealth, because many of these immigrants are people with some assets.

March 1955.

Elena bore Hardy a daughter, a beautiful little china doll with fair hair and sky blue eyes.

Hardy smiled and said: My child, in the future, there will be all kinds of hair colors and eye pupils. It must be very interesting to gather together.

This little guy Hardy named Anna, both in English and Chinese, the same as the daughter Annie that Han Yezhen gave birth to him.

And this daughter,

However, the household registration is not in the United States, but it is in the Cayman Islands.

Not only Anna, but Elena's household registration has also been moved to Cayman, in order to transfer property in the future and inherit the inheritance conveniently.

Cayman at this time,

There are already more than 3,000 citizens, and these people who can register their residence in Cayman are almost all rich or noble or family children, and some employees of Hardy Company. It is not easy for ordinary people to join Cayman.

After Elizabeth Taylor knew that Irina had a baby, when the two met, they pestered Hardy and acted like a baby, Hadi, I want to give you a baby too, no, several.

Of course you can.

Now.

You're only 22 years old, aren't you afraid that having a child will affect your career, and maybe your body will be deformed? Hardy persuaded.

Don't be afraid, I want it now, give it to me~~~!
