Hardy Empire 1945

After the company was registered, Hardy found another real estate company.

I'm going to buy a farm or factory, preferably near Hollywood. The place should be bigger. Do you have any recommendations?

Security companies need a resident, personnel life training, so the place can not be too small.

Hardy drove a luxury car with a bright gold watch on his hand. The salesman knew that he was a big customer, and his attitude was very respectful.

A bigger place? There is a factory in West Hollywood. Although it is a bit off, it is large enough. There are factories and warehouses. The workers' dormitory can accommodate more than 100 workers. There is also a large piece of idle land. In total, there are 18 acres, the sales said.

18 acres, about the size of 10 standard stadiums, and a dormitory building, Hardy feels good.

What kind of factory? Hardy asked.

It's a factory that produces plastic dolls, but the dolls they produce are so ugly that they can't be sold at all. There is a backlog of products. The boss planned to produce new dolls, but found that he couldn't buy the raw materials at all. During the war, all plastic was used by the military. Control, the boss couldn’t bear it and ended up going bankrupt, the bank took away the factory, and it’s now listed for sale.”

How much?

Including the land and all the houses on the ground, the machinery in the factory, and even those extruded products, which is everything this factory has, totals $98,500.

How long has it been on sale?

After a meal, Oh, it's been hanging up for almost two years.

After the salesman finished speaking, he looked at Hardy cautiously.

The price of 98,500 is indeed very high.

At current land prices in the suburbs of Los Angeles, 18 acres would probably be worth just over $30,000.

The most valuable is the plant and equipment.

But if people don't want it, they're trash, and no one wants to pay an extra $60,000 for it.

So this factory has been hanging for so long and no one is willing to buy it.

Hardy thought about it and asked the salesman, Can you take me to see it on the spot?

No problem, no problem. The salesman quickly agreed.

I got into Hardy's luxury car, and Ryder was in charge of driving in front. The salesman knew that Hardy must be a rich man, and said with a smile: The factory has been hanging there for so long, and the bank is actually in a hurry. If Mr. Hardy is If you really want to buy it, I suggest you can talk to the bank, they should let go and cut the price, after all, they also have financial pressure.”

Which bank? Hardy asked.

Los Angeles City Bank is in charge of the non-performing asset group of the credit department. Sales said.

Hardy's heart moved,

'Los Angeles City Bank Credit Department' he remembered hearing that name.

Hardy looked at the sales, Aren't you afraid that the price will drop and your commission will decrease?

The salesman laughed twice, To tell the truth from Mr. Hardy, the orders placed by this kind of bank are all fixed commissions and are not linked to the price, so I naturally hope that Mr. Hardy can make a deal, so that I can make money.

Hardy smiled.

When I came to the toy factory, there were security guards at the gate. The salesman said that they were hired by the bank, or else they would probably be secretly dismantled all the machines.

After saying this, the salesman lowered his voice and said, The bank employs a total of 4 people on duty, each of whom is on duty at $35 per week. For this part of the salary, the bank will spend $7,200 a year, which is $14,000 in the past two years.

The sales are telling Hardy that the bank is losing money for the factory every year, and he can use this reason to bargain.

The factory area is indeed very large, even if there are hundreds of people living in the dormitory area, there is no problem. The large factory building, the machines inside are all covered with tarpaulins. Hardy opened it and took a look. The machines are well maintained and not rusted.

Standing in the yard, Hardy thought for a moment.

It's in West Hollywood, which now looks like a suburb,

But in the future, this place will become very prosperous, and it will become a high-end community in the future. Even if it does not count the factory equipment, the value of these land can be greatly appreciated after a few years.

It can be registered as a security company's resident, the dormitory is for the newly recruited people to live in, the yard is used for training, and the factory building can continue to be sealed.

Definitely not going to buy it.

But Hardy wouldn't be foolish enough to spend more than 90,000 yuan to buy it, and he can do work at the bank.

Taking the materials from the salesman, Hardy returned to the hotel station to find Henry and Matthew.

Do you remember the guy named Kevin Madine? Hardy asked.

Henry didn't think of it for a while.

But Matthew laughed, Haha, Henry, why did you forget, it's your cousin who was knocked out and kidnapped by us at the Spaniard Casino, and later took a fruit photo.

Henry remembered now.

What's the matter, boss, do you want us to recover the money? He remembered that he was asked to go back to prepare the money, and more than a month passed in a flash.

It's not a requirement. I remember you said that Kevin Madine was the head of credit at the City Bank of Los Angeles.

Hardy has a very good memory now. He only heard Henry say it once, but he still remembers it very clearly. The salesman told him that he could talk to the banker about the price reduction, and he immediately thought of that guy.

Henry scratched his head, It seems so.

I'll give you a task. I'm going to buy a factory and get a station for the guys I'll find in the future. The local bank is listing for takeout. It happens to be that Kevin Madine is in charge. You can talk to him. Ha. Dido.

No problem, boss. Henry responded immediately.

Hardy explained some more details to the two guys, and they drove out.

......

evening,

After get off work hours, Kevin Madine walked out of the bank, smiled and said goodbye to passing colleagues, and came to his car parked on the side of the road.

He opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. Just as he was about to start the car, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, causing Kevin to shiver.

Don't move, don't scream. Henry said behind him.

Hearing this voice, Kevin's body trembled. This voice was too familiar to him. It was one of the two robbers who kidnapped him.

After he was released, he had nightmares for a long time, and the voices of those two people always lingered in his dreams.

Every time he wakes up.

Hello~ Mr. Robber, I don't~ I won't shout, are you here to get money? I'm sorry, I only prepared $3,600, and it's still a little short, can you be more lenient? After a while, I will definitely find a way to make up for it.”

Kevin said with great anxiety.

I'm here this time because I have one thing for you to do, Henry said.

Kevin Madene was slightly taken aback.

whats the matter?

He thought to himself that these robbers would not let themselves cooperate in robbing the bank.

Someone wants to buy a bankrupt factory. That factory is listed for sale by your bank. A friend of my boss wants to buy him at a lower price. Henry said.

Hearing Henry's request, Kevin was relieved.

It's not like robbing a bank.

Which factory is it? Kevin asked quickly.

Shady Grove Toy Factory, any impression?

Impressions are impressions.

Kevin really has an impression of the factory Henry mentioned. The management also mentioned him when discussing non-performing assets a few months ago. The factory is very difficult to sell. classified as extremely non-performing assets.

What price do your boss's friends want to buy? Kevin asked cautiously.

Of course the lower the better.

I understand.

Okay, someone will contact you tomorrow to deal with this matter. Remember, the lower the price, the better. If this matter is done well, your money can be waived. Henry said.

Kevin was overjoyed.

The robber had asked him to prepare five thousand dollars. Five thousand dollars was not a small sum of money. Kevin was one of the bank's executives, and his annual salary was only five or six thousand.

Doing this well is equivalent to earning yourself a year's salary.

Don't worry, I will do my best to handle this matter well, Kevin said.

Henry gets out of the car,

Turning around and getting into a car not far away, the car drove away quickly.

From start to finish,

Kevin didn't even dare to look back at Henry.

When the robber finally left, he let out a big breath.

Actually these days,

Although the robbers didn't come to the door, he was not doing well. He had been photographed, and those robbers were elusive, and it was not difficult to arrest him again.

So he did not dare to call the police for fear of retaliation.

During this period of time, the robbers did not look for him, and he had always been concerned. Today, the robbers came to let him do business, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

Kevin didn't start the car to go home, got out of the car and went back to the bank building. He found a staff member of the credit department and asked the other party to find out the information of the toy factory.

He wants to find out all the problems in it.

All the reasons that can make the bank lower the price are all picked out.

A head of credit department,

A person well versed in finance and accounting.

And the case is still within his scope.

It can be said that no one knows the doorway here better than him.

In the past, he was desperate to find a way to raise the price, but this time he found the problem of bargaining for himself.

The world is so amazing.
