Hardy Empire 1945

Inside the MGM film production room, documentary director Burgess Moran led his team to work overtime.

Eight cameras were used for this shooting, and the film and television materials were sufficient.

What he has to do now is to edit these film and television materials into an exciting documentary.

Two days and two nights passed,

A 68-minute documentary was released.

Organise film screenings.

Here comes Hardy, here comes MGM boss Mayer, here comes President Johnston, here comes Mayor Ross and Director Ed.

Several bosses sat down and watched the movie together.

At the beginning of the film, newspapers kept flashing, and various newspapers reported on the robbery of the Los Angeles branch of the Bank of America.

This is followed by an introduction to the entire robbery case.

After the robbery, many reporters rushed to the scene and took many photos and recorded videos on the scene.

Innocent passers-by were killed, cash trucks full of bullet holes, several security guards killed, and devastated banking halls.

The brutality of the robbers and the brutality of the scene are clear at a glance.

Next came the newspaper reports that in recent years, there have been frequent bank robberies in Los Angeles. Los Angeles already has a notorious reputation as a crime capital. The police drove police cars and pulled alarms everywhere, but they were unable to suppress this evil flame.

Moriah Johnston, president of the Los Angeles branch of Bank of America, appeared on the camera and was very annoyed at the bank robbery.

Then Mayor Ross was interviewed, and Police Chief Ed was interviewed, each expressing his own views and determinations on the matter.

At this time, the security is officially on the scene.

The camera extends from the gate box to the office building, and finally comes to the strategic research room. The layout here is very similar to the military strategy research room. Various maps and files are displayed. Around the round table, there are several people wearing black special combat uniforms. Man is studying the whole process of bank robbery

The plot goes on and on.

Been rather nervous.

The last part, of course, is the siege and capture of the robbers.

The information on the arrest process is also the most abundant. It was edited for more than 20 minutes. The bullets whizzed, the heavy machine guns squeaked, and the explosions continued. Watching the robbers being killed, the viewers felt very happy and enjoyable.

During the entire operation, the security personnel showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, acted quickly, advanced command and communication, and completely crushed the robbers.

Security personnel carried the only living robber out, and the camera was frozen, and finally turned into a photo in the newspaper.

Insiders searched for the bank's lost cash box, and finally found it in the cellar. When the cash box was opened, the dense banknotes were revealed. The camera kept shooting from multiple angles, which stimulated people's adrenaline.

The security man came out with the money box, and the photo turned into a newspaper photo again.

At the end of the film,

Security handed over the cash box and the robber to the Los Angeles Police Department, Lanster shook hands with President Johnston, and the two sides formally signed an agreement, and Security officially took over the security business of Bank of America Los Angeles.

Lanster shook hands with Chief Ed of the Los Angeles Police Department and signed an agreement. From now on, security will become the peripheral force of the Los Angeles Police Department, responsible for some street security patrols, emergency handling, and strong fire support.

Hardy is satisfied with the editing of the entire film, which is tense and exciting, comparable to a shootout blockbuster, and enough to attract audiences.

All this reflects, the Bank of America and the Los Angeles Police Department are also positive images, and the security appears in the same attitude as the Avengers, fighting criminals and saving the entire city.

At the end of the movie the lights are turned on.

Several bosses applauded together.

Mayor Ross, Director Ed, President Johnston, what do you think? Hardy asked with a smile.

Mayor Ross nodded, It's a wonderful documentary, there is no feeling of drowsy, the whole process is tense and exciting, and the final part of eliminating the robbers is the best.

He is very satisfied with the documentary.

At least the image above is very good, that's enough.

Well, very good, the business philosophy of our Bank of America has basically been reflected. President Johnston said.

Next to Chief Ed, he said sternly, The image of the police is a little weak?

Several people in the house looked at him, wondering if you didn't know what you were like, if it wasn't for the security, you thought you could solve the case.

Ed coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment.

Documentary completed.

Mayer told everyone that he was going to test the show in Los Angeles. If the effect is good, as long as the attendance rate reaches 30%, which is on par with other documentaries, he will promote it to major theaters in the United States.

three days later.

Eight movie theaters in Los Angeles put up posters.

Los Angeles bank robbery.

The poster picture shows several security personnel wearing special combat uniforms and fully armed.

The most realistic L.A. bank robbery, 68 minutes of intense action, you'll be hooked after watching it for just 10 cents.

The current movie ticket price is basically between 20 cents and 35 cents. Because it is a documentary, Hardy deliberately reduced the price by half, so as to attract more people to watch the movie.

Because of the overwhelming publicity in the newspapers when the big robbery happened before, many people were very curious about the robbery, and they were willing to spend money to go to the cinema and watch the whole process.

There is no such thing as a premiere.

It is officially broadcast at 1:00 pm that day.

Movie theaters also let go of documentaries. People’s enthusiasm for documentaries is very low. Usually, only a few people will go into the movie theater to watch this kind of film, but today is different. There are so many people outside the movie theater that it is no different to play blockbuster movies.

Hardy was fine today. He picked up little Loli Taylor in his car and took her to a movie. Taylor hadn't seen Hardy for several days. I was very happy to be able to come out and watch a movie with him.

The little beauty looked at the poster and asked:

Mr. Hardy, security is your company, right?

That's right.

I read the newspaper and it said that the security guards easily defeated those robbers, and they will maintain law and order in Los Angeles in the future. Mr. Hardy is amazing. Taylor couldn't help but praise.

The two walked into the theater and sat next to each other.

The cinema was almost full.

It's unimaginable.

This is a documentary. Even if it is a well-made film, it is quite remarkable to have an attendance rate of 70-80%.

movie playback,

The whole Los Angeles bank robbery, without the dullness of a documentary, and without much preaching and reasoning, is just a narrative.

Express that tension.

Taylor was drawn to the content.

His big eyes stared at the screen.

The same goes for other viewers.

In the last 20 minutes, the whole action process was hot, bullets flying, guns and guns to the flesh, absolutely comparable to a shootout blockbuster, and more realistic.

Not even some taboo bloody scenes were edited.

The movie ends.

The audience discussed as they walked out.

Many people were hooked.

If modern people see this documentary, it is estimated that some people will scold the film company for being unscrupulous. This documentary makes the security performance too high.

It's a fucking commercial in a documentary guise.

The owner of this security company must have spent money.

That's right,

Hardy did spend money.

Before editing,

He gave Director Moran a content production process sheet, sorted out the entire plot process, and of course, there was a check for $10,000.

Moran did not give in to the lure of the check.

He simply felt that the film flow written by Boss Hardy was better.

There are two movies currently being filmed, both of which were scripted by boss Hardy himself, definitely not an amateur.

Showed for three consecutive days.

After the box office statistics came out, MGM was surprised to find that it was better than many movies at the box office.

It is mainly due to the sufficient publicity in the early stage and the sensational event that attracts so many people into the theater.

With a wave of Mayer's hand, he sent the distribution department to play in theaters across the United States, and he might be able to make a lot of money with this documentary.

Anyway, how do you calculate it now, the documentary of the movie is only profitable and not lost, and even has a tendency to make big profits.

Soon the Los Angeles Bank Robbery was released in theaters across the United States. Although other cities were not as popular as Los Angeles and achieved a successful attendance rate, they were much stronger than ordinary films, and there was absolutely no problem in making money.

Mayer called Hardy and said with a smile: Hady, I found out that you are a marketing genius. A simple bank robbery was run so perfectly by you.

According to the current box office trend, if it is broadcast for a month, it should be able to reach 2 million box office. Your cost of this documentary is extremely limited. After deducting the cinema line and distribution costs, you can probably earn about 500,000.

More importantly, this event led to the cooperation between Security and the Los Angeles Police Department and the Bank of America. I guess this is the focus of your plan, and through publicity, everyone in the United States knows Security, and security will develop business in the future. It will go very well.”

Hadi, you took the whole thing to the extreme.

Mayer admits that he admires Hardy's mind now. How can such a person not make money in business. He is very optimistic about Hardy's future now.

MGM makes a lot of money, and more than half of the profit is deducted from the announcement fee. Hardy said with a smile.

It's just a small amount of money, I'm sure you don't care. Mayer said.

It is impossible for Hardy not to care about hundreds of thousands, mainly because other harvests are bigger.

Now the security has signed a contract with Bank of America. The Los Angeles branch of the Bank of America has a headquarters with a vault, in addition to 5 business halls and three cash trucks. A total of 85 security personnel are required.

According to the contract signed by the two parties, Bank of America has to pay more than one million security expenses every year, including the security of the vault, the security of the business hall and the security of the cash transporter. If there is a robbery, the security company promises to retaliate against the robbers for free.

There are only about 120 people in Hardy's security now, and the Bank of America family has eaten most of them. Hardy then instructed Lanster to continue to recruit people vigorously.

Hardy's ideal is to develop security into a company like 4s. In later generations, 4s has more than 620,000 employees, operates in 115 countries around the world, and undertakes dozens of business categories.

Now that Hardy Security has taken a solid step, made a name for itself, and controlled the direction by himself, he believes that it will develop in the future.

The security company had just ended, and Hadi got another good news. The financial company called him, and their acquisition of the shares of Nashi Mining had been completed.

Nashi Mining originally had 4 shareholders, two major shareholders and two small shareholders. The bastard David Nashi brought Nashi Mining to the bottom of the valley, and he was unable to recover. At this time, a financial company came to buy it, and a professional analysis and fudge , the three shareholders sold all the shares in a package.

Now they can sell at least some money back. When it really falls to the point where it's worthless, they won't be able to get this money back. The company still has external debts, and maybe they will have to pay from their private pockets to make up for it. hole.

The financial company found David Nash again. He has been imprisoned and awaiting trial. At first, he wanted to make more money with his shares. With money in his hand, he could at least live comfortably in prison.

The person from the financial company smiled and said: We have already acquired the shares of the other three companies, totaling 31. Although it is a little less than yours, as long as you take a little bit in the market, you can surpass you. What will happen next? I believe you can think.

People who play finance have a way to deal with a listed company that is on the verge of bankruptcy. In the end, the shares in David's hands can be made worthless.

And he is still in prison, and he has no resistance at all.

If you sell it now, you can at least get back more than 200,000 US dollars. In the end, David gave in.

At this point, Hadi completely owns Nashi Mining. As for what to do next, he is not in a hurry, just leave it alone, and the financial company will take care of things in the stock market first.

There is a globe in Hardy's office, the height of one person, and it is extremely delicate. He reached out and clicked on the globe. Brazil, Australia, Peru, Chile, and Africa are rich in mineral resources.

When you develop yourself in the future, you can buy the land that contains the ore veins, and even if it has been mined again, you can still get it.

And oil.

It is only 1946, and there is still a lot of room for manoeuvre, and many large oil fields have not been found.

certainly,

These must be said after he has that strength. Before he has enough strength, he holds too much money or resources, and he will bring disaster to himself.

Ring bell bell!

The phone on the desk rang.

Hardy picked up the answer.

Jon, I'm Siegel, I heard Mayer say, you recently invested a million in a movie? Siegel's voice came over the phone.

Yes, I made some money by investing in stocks, Hardy said.

Hadi's money is mainly earned by frying Nashi Mining, and has nothing to do with gangsters.

Siegel paused slightly and said, I had a big fight with a few partners a few days ago. They came to Las Vegas and were very dissatisfied with the progress of the project, saying that I was too extravagant and too idealistic. .

I asked them for money, and they refused to pay for the new project. The money I have now can only last for half a month at most, but it is still far from completion.

Mr. Siegel, what do you mean? Hardy asked.

I mean, are you interested in being a shareholder in the casino? Siegel asked.
