Hardy Empire 1945

Do you need to film today, do you have time to show me the surrounding scenery? Hardy said to Ava.

Ava knew what the man thought and smiled playfully.

Actors need to ask the director to ask for leave when they go out, but I don't know if the director will let them go. Ava frowned.

It's really a big problem to ask for leave from the director, why don't we run away. Hardy whispered.

Elope? Ava's eyes lit up.

Yes, elope.

The two sneaked out of the room, carefully came to the car, opened the door and walked in quietly, and drove out slowly with the car.

Matthew looked at Henry, Boss drove away, do you want to keep up?

Henry smiled and continued to lie in the shade, The boss is going to meet his lover, aren't you afraid of being beaten with him?

What if there is danger?

The two of us attack him together, and we may not be able to kill the boss. How dangerous do you think he can be? By the way, I saw that the crew was shooting a horse battle scene. We might as well get two horses to play along.

Okay~!

Hardy was driving on the wide road.

The windows are open.

Ava's long hair fluttered in the wind.

Where are you taking me to elope? Ava asked, looking at Hardy.

Go somewhere with a bed.

In a town dozens of miles away, they found a Mexican-style hotel. The low, earthy house was clean and surrounded by flowers. It was rare that there was a hot spring here.

Men and women who were separated for several months lingered in the room.

......

David Walsh drove the car and went out for dozens of miles before gradually calming down. Thinking of the humiliation just now, and feeling the mud on his butt, David Walsh gritted his teeth and patted the steering wheel hard.

Damn, I want revenge.

He used to be a famous playboy.

Now inheriting the family property, although the company's efficiency is not good, but he is still a rich man, when has he suffered this kind of anger.

Who is the man holding Ava's hand?

All he said was that he was a producer.

With such a powerful bodyguard under his command, it is estimated that he is not an ordinary person. He is going to go back and investigate carefully before making a move.

But for that bitch named Ava.

From the beginning to the end, he was very indifferent to himself, and he always ignored him no matter how many times he ran to court him. It turned out that he had a man long ago.

Not just a little star who sings a song.

If I didn't want to eat something fresh, I thought you liked you.

He suddenly thought of the previous reports on Ava, as if those reporters could not find her now, and David guessed what mysterious propaganda strategy should be used.

want to hide,

Humph,

Destroy it if you don't get it.

I will expose you now.

He twisted his buttocks and felt very uncomfortable. He accelerated the accelerator and rushed into the city. He arrived in Albuquerque an hour later, and quickly plunged into the hotel to take a shower.

He threw his clothes into the trash can and went to the table to pick up the phone.

Hey, is it the Los Angeles Times, I have a news for you, didn't your paper say that a lot of people are looking for Ava Gardner, I know about her...

Some time ago, the Scarborough Fair just came out, and it was very popular, and then because it was not well promoted, the popularity gradually decreased, but people are still curious about the singer Ava Gardner.

When the Los Angeles Times heard the news about Ava, it immediately became interested, If Mr. can give us the exact information, we can pay a $50 bonus.

Originally, David Walsh just wanted to expose Ava, but when he heard that there was a bonus, his greedy personality broke out and reported his name and mailing address.

Then tell the other party about Ava's intelligence.

......

the next day.

Hardy and Ava are back on set.

Ava still had a scene today. Hardy sat next to director Nolan and watched the actors perform. At this moment, two reporters walked into the shooting base.

When they saw Ava, one of the reporters held up the camera and took a picture,

The other hurried forward, holding a book and asking questions.

Is it Miss Ava Gardner, we are reporters at the Los Angeles Times reporter station in New Mexico, and we finally let us find you. Since you released Scarborough Fair, it has attracted countless people, but you are looking for No trace of you.

Miss Ava, can I ask you a few questions, please...

Ava was confused for a while.

Somewhat overwhelmed.

This is her first time to be interviewed by reporters.

When Director Nolan saw this situation, he immediately asked two reporters to stop, We are filming, please don't disturb the actors, and how did you find this place.

Hardy once told Nolan before that Ava's singing was a publicity strategy, and he was going to announce Ava's identity before the movie was shown, to attract a wave of attention to build momentum for the movie, but it was discovered by reporters now.

One of the reporters immediately said: We only knew that Miss Ava was here after receiving a clue from the clue person.

Hardy remained silent.

Hearing what he thought of here, he asked, Did you get the news yesterday?

Yes, it was indeed yesterday, so we came here today, hoping that Miss Ava would accept our exclusive interview.

Can you tell me who broke the news? Hardy asked.

No, the newspaper should keep the clues a secret. The reporter said.

In fact, not to mention Hardy, he has already guessed who it is. It has been kept secret for so long. If it was only revealed yesterday, it must be the rich second generation yesterday.

All eyes are on Hardy. He is the backbone here. Hardy's brain is turning. Before, he hid Ava for the sake of movie promotion. Now that he was found by reporters, let's report on it, it doesn't matter.

The crew will stop for a while and let Ava do the interview first.

The crew all stopped and rested.

Hardy took Ava to the side to explain, other questions can be answered, but the songwriters don't tell them, keep it a secret for now.

When the reporters interviewed Ava, Ava had calmed down. Facing the question and answering the question appropriately, the reporter would definitely ask the songwriter. Ava smiled and said that it was kept secret for the time being.

When answering the question, don't forget to promote the new film.

The reporter finally knew that the movie was called Red Dead Redemption.

The reporter in charge of taking pictures took two full rolls of film for Ava before he was satisfied and stopped. The interview was full of rewards, and the two reporters left happily.

Hardy looked at the reporter who had left and told Henry, Go to the city, contact Lanster, and let him investigate all the information about that guy named David Walsh.

Good boss.

Although the other party's behavior did not cause any harm to him, he still felt offended. Who knows if he will cause trouble for him in the future.

the next day.

Henry came back from the city.

Boss, the situation of that David Walsh has been investigated. David Walsh's father is the owner of a mining company, named Walsh Mining, with total assets of about 3 million US dollars.

David Walsh's father died a few years ago, and the company was left to him. In fact, when the old Walsh was running, the company was in trouble and sold a lot of shares. Now David Walsh still has the company in his hands. 34% stake.

The mining company has been in the hands of David Walsh in the past few years, and its business has been deteriorating. Now the stock price has fallen to 32 cents per share, which is a junk stock. At the shareholders' meeting, many shareholders expressed that David Walsh should give up the chairmanship. Shi himself was reluctant to give up, and said at the time that he would be given another two years to stabilize the shareholders.”

David Walsh found a scholar who studies mining, and the scholar told him that Arizona is the most productive state of copper, and his research will definitely extend to the neighboring state of New Mexico, and there should be a large area near the San Andreas Mountains. mines.

Last year, David Walsh took a loan of 200,000 in the name of the company and purchased an 8,000-acre mountain near the San Andreas, and led a prospecting team to look for minerals there, but so far there has been no good news.

After hearing this information, Hardy had a smile on his face.

That David Walsh is a playboy who doesn't understand business and is very conceited.

Boss, if you don't like that guy, I'll kill him now. Matthew looked at Hardy and said.

Hardy shook his head.

Matthew, we are legitimate businessmen, how can we just shout and kill? I have a better way to deal with such people.

How? Henry asked curiously.

Do you know how to torture a public company? Hardy asked the pair.

The two shook their heads together.

Hardy knows a lot of ways to mess with listed companies.

Not to mention it's still the 40's.

Even in the 21st century, under the circumstance that various regulations are extremely complete, there are still many ways to toss a listed company.

For example, sitting on the roof of a car, a Ben evaporates billions, for example, if the car cannot be stopped, a special evaporates tens of billions, for example, Ronaldo takes away Coca-Cola and evaporates billions.

Hardy and Ava said goodbye, Ava was very reluctant, and the two ran to the hot spring hotel for another day, and then Hardy drove back to Los Angeles.

Has the situation of the Walsh Mining shareholder been investigated clearly? Hardy asked when he just came back to see Lanster.

Yesterday he went to play with Ava and called Lanster to collect information.

The investigation is clear. Lanster handed Hardy a detailed share statement.

The total market value of Wash Mining is now 1.83 million, 35% of the outstanding shares, and the stock price is 0.31 US dollars, which is one point lower than when Hardy asked two days ago.

Lanster, I remember the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Financial Times, we have a few pictures of him, right? Hardy asked.

Yes, there is a picture of him.

It's time to activate him.

Hardy used these two days to buy a shell mining company, register it as his own company, and name it 'HD Mining'.

The company's business scope includes mining development, processing, and sales, including gold, iron, coal, copper, aluminum, nickel, magnesium... .

at the same time,

He also opened more than 40 accounts in the name of his subordinates in a securities company. Each account was injected with 4,000 to 6,000 yuan, and he found an institution to short Walsh Mining.

everything's ready.

This morning.

The Los Angeles Financial News published an analysis article in the second edition:

On the extension theory of copper mines taught by geologist Michael de Guzman that will ruin the future of mining companies.

In mid-1945, geologist Professor Michael de Guzman published a paper titled Depository Extension of Rocky Mountain Veins Demonstration, Professor de Guzman said that Arizona had discovered the largest and largest copper deposits in the United States, On the other side of New Mexico, there should be the same reserves of copper and associated mines.

Because of this theory, many mining companies have purchased land in New Mexico to look for mineral veins, but in the past six months, they have not found anything, not even ordinary copper mines, let alone super large veins.

Actually, Professor de Guzman's theory is only based on hypotheses and conjectures, without any real-time support. For example, San Francisco's Wash Mining purchased 8,000 acres of land in New Mexico, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to find it. Now there is a piece of high-quality copper. The mine has not been found, and they believed in Professor De Guzman's theory at the beginning, and I am afraid they will lose everything in the future.
