Hardy Empire 1945 - Vol 2 Chapter 410: : Someone robbed Hardy’s property
After the royal banquet, people left, and when Hardy and Margaret left each other face-to-face, Margaret whispered in Hardy’s ear:
“Don’t go back yet, I will find you.”
Hardy nodded insignificantly.
Hardy slept in the hotel until more than nine o’clock, just as the room doorbell rang, opened the door, and a woman in a coat wrapped in a scarf covering her face stood at the door.
Hardy knew it was Margaret just by looking at her size.
Let Margaret come in quickly.
“How did you run out?” Hardy asked.
“I said I would find friends to play, and then I came over.” Marguerite looked smug.
Hardy grabbed Margaret’s cold little hand and stuffed it into her arms. Margaret was very moved and took the initiative to move forward. Hardy only felt a pair of small lips so cold, and quickly warmed her with enthusiasm.
Then…
It was more than an hour after the end.
“I really don’t want you to leave. I’m afraid I won’t see each other until a few months later.” Marguerite said very reluctantly.
Although she could find excuses to visit Cayman or other countries, and take the opportunity to meet Hardy, it was only a short meeting after all.
But the more short-lived it is,
Sometimes the more people feel cherished.
“How about visiting Hong Kong in just a few months, or simply going to Penang and Malacca, which are all British territories after all?” Margaret said.
“It’s a good idea.” Hardy said.
The two agreed on a time for the next meeting, and Margaret was immediately relieved of sadness.
Because there is hope and expectation.
……
Hardy returned to the United States.
In a blink of an eye, March, and the annual Oscars Day, this year’s Hollywood is obviously more lively than last year.
After Hardy killed McKinsey, no one destroyed Hollywood. With a series of rescue methods, Hollywood gradually recovered its vitality and became brilliant again.
This is still a paradise for filmmakers.
this year,
Monroe did not enter the ranks of the best actress competition. Although the seven-year itch was very popular and the box office reached 13.5 million, it was not artistically outstanding.
But Hepburn entered the contest for the best actress.
certainly,
I have to talk about Hardy’s operation.
Hepburn is a newcomer,
“Roman Holiday” is her first starring movie, and if she can win the best actress, it will go down in history.
The award-presenting guests stood on the stage and announced after reading the award card:
“This year’s Oscar’s Best Actress, Audrey Hepburn, Roman Holiday.”
Shattering~!
There was applause from the audience.
Hepburn stood up excitedly. Although she was prepared, she was still a little trembling with excitement. Hardy sat next to Hepburn and Hepburn hugged Hardy hard.
Hepburn came to power,
A white princess evening dress with a pearl necklace hung around her neck and a flower head on her head, which is also a pearl headdress.
In the hands of the guests took over the little golden man who symbolized the shadow queen.
“The first person I want to thank is Mr. Hardy. He discovered me and gave me the opportunity to step onto the big screen…”
Many women in the audience thought enviously, this girl is really lucky to be valued by Hardy, why didn’t she have a chance, if she was valued, maybe she could become a queen.
That night,
Hardy stayed at Hepburn’s new home.
Hepburn’s clothes are very soft.
Full of elasticity.
Hardy guessed that a lot of springs must be added.
……
During this time,
Hardy is inspecting his own business.
He once purchased a large amount of land in Australia. He previously discovered a huge iron mine, and later discovered two iron mines, a copper mine, and a large coal mine one after another.
This made Hardy Mining’s stock soar.
Hardy Mining has begun to develop these minerals in Australia. There are many large mining companies in the United States. Hardy Mining has reached a cooperation with them to form a cooperative company, and soon became one of the world’s mining giants.
The assets of Hardy Mining have reached more than one billion U.S. dollars, far exceeding the original purchase price. Now even if Hardy sells only a few mines, he can still make three or four times the profit, but he will not sell. Yes, because you enter the mining circle, you can get more voice.
The Hardy supermarket chain has reached more than 20 in the United States, and plans to open one hundred by next summer.
at the same time,
The Western-style fast food restaurants, Chinese fast-food restaurants, and coffee shops that Hardy previously planned have begun to appear one after another. Because of the franchise method, they have been rolled out very quickly.
His previous plan,
Are now on track,
Just as Hardy was preparing to plan a new investment direction, news came from Penang that a Malayan robbed of the assets of one of the Chinese companies of Hardy Investment Company and killed someone.
Hardy was shocked immediately.
“Go to Penang.”
Without any delay, Hardy took a B-29 bomber and quickly rushed to Penang. When he arrived in Penang, all the people in charge here came to report.
Hardy glanced at the crowd and said solemnly, “Tell me what happened, in more detail.”
The economic secretary stood up and said: “It’s the Huang family in Johor. They have many plantations and processing companies in the local area. These days, the Huang family industry is constantly being harassed by Malays. Enterprises, sell them to Malayans at a price that is almost in vain, otherwise they will never have peace.”
“Just three days ago, clashes broke out. The two sides first had a gun battle. Later, the local Sudan sent military police to shoot at the Huang family and killed several members of the Huang family. All the rest of the family were arrested. Now the head of the Huang family and his son are all in the Johor state prison. Only his younger brother Huang Xinnian escaped and asked the Governor’s government for help.”
The Chinese are flexible and good at doing business, so many local industries are in the hands of the Chinese. This makes many indigenous people feel that the Chinese have robbed them of their wealth, and they have a kind of hatred and prejudice against the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts.
Since the British declared that the Malays had privileges, the Malays felt that an opportunity had come and began to suppress them.
First, increase taxes. They charge Chinese taxes, which are heavier than Malay taxes.
Then came all kinds of extortion, relying on the power to keep apportioning money.
Now these are not addictive, starting to occupy Chinese industries and enterprises, the Huang family has tolerated, but now finally can’t bear it, and the relationship with the Hardy Group, so this time a lot harder and moved with the locals. hand.
At the beginning, the locals gathered two to three hundred people and attacked the Huang family’s industry, but the Huang family was not a vegetarian. There were a large number of Chinese from China in the plantations and processing companies. These people saw their jobs being robbed. The guy started doing it with these natives.
These natives were immediately beaten away,
But after all, there were a lot of indigenous people. The second time they gathered more people, there were thousands of them, and the two sides fought another battle.
Both sides died in this game, but the natives were still beaten away.
But then the local Sudan took action, sending hundreds of military police with guns. Under the threat of guns, the Chinese had to give up resistance.
The military police beat the Chinese first, and then arrested dozens of people in one go, even the Huang family father and son.
When Huang saw the new year, he sneaked away and went to the Hardy Company in Malacca for help. The Hardy Investment Company hurriedly reported the situation to the Governor’s Mansion.
Hardy didn’t speak after listening, and everyone in the room dared not speak. He tried to suppress his breathing as much as possible, wondering what he, the governor-general, was going to do.
For a while.
Hardy said to others:
“I see. I’ll take care of this personally. Go ahead and do it yourself.”
“Also, let Bill Reese and Lance Bean come to see me, the sooner the better.”
Everyone was stunned.
Penang and Malacca do not have their own military. The two military bases of HD Defense in Southeast Asia are used to maintain security here.
Bill Raiser is the director of the Penang base, and Lance Bean is the director of the Singapore base.
The Governor called these two guys to come, are you going to use force?
The Penang base was nearby. Bill Raiser rushed over in half an hour. Lance Bean was in Singapore. After receiving the telegram, he flew over in a two-man fighter jet.
There was Smith, the person in charge of Hardy’s intelligence here, who was not tall but very shrewd.
Hardy looked at the three and asked:
“How many ground forces can be used now?”
“Regular marines are about 1,500. If you give up some of the ships, you can get three thousand.” Bill Reese said.
“How many planes are there?”
“Penang and Singapore each have ten planes, air fighters and bombers.” Lance Bean said.
Hardy nodded. The strength is not strong, but it should be enough to deal with some indigenous sultans. “You two go back and prepare immediately and prepare for battle. You will be given two days at most.”
The two guys immediately became excited when they heard it.
Although they don’t know who they want to fight, they don’t care. The boss will fight whoever asks to fight, mainly working in Hardy Security and Defense Company. If there is no task, they can only get a basic salary, and only if they have a job, they will get a bonus.
The more the big job, the more bonus.
For these blood-licking guys, they are not afraid of fighting and are more eager for bonuses.
After the two left,
Hardy looked at Smith.
“How much do you know about the Sultan of Johor?”
“I understand the basic situation.”
“Well, give you two tasks.” He waved to Smith, Smith hurried forward, Hardy confessed in his ear, Smith couldn’t help but nodded.
After Smith left,
Hardy came to the living room and said to his secretary: “You go to see that Huang New Year.” Then there was another explanation.
The secretary nodded and went out.
At this moment, in a hotel in Penang, the new year of Huang Xin is like every year. There is such a big change in the Huang family. Now there is a disaster of destruction. Fortunately, the eldest brother has prepared in advance and put the women and children of the Huang family in Malacca. Affected by this incident.
But the eldest brother and nephew were arrested now, and all the Huang family managers and factory directors were also arrested. The purpose of those Malayans was very clear. He wanted to **** the Huang family’s property, which was unreasonable.
What kind of contract, legal contract, doesn’t work at all now.
Because they don’t plan to reason with you at all, they are now a group of robbers.
The Huang family had no choice but to find the Governor’s Mansion for help. They only hope that the British can help save their eldest brother and nephew because they have paid 40% of the family property. Those Malays who want to come will be afraid of the British. As long as the family can be saved, it doesn’t hurt to give up more of the industry.
As long as the family is safe and sound now.
It’s just that the hateful Malays are really hateful.
at this time,
When the door was knocked, Huang Xinnian was slightly startled, and immediately stood up and opened the door. After opening the door, he found that it was a foreigner.
The foreigner nodded to Huang Xinnian, “Are you Mr. Huang Xinnian?”
“It’s me, are you?”
“I’m Governor Hardy’s secretary.”
Huang Xinian was taken aback. He didn’t expect the Governor’s secretary to come to see him. This is definitely a big shot in Penang and Malacca.
“Hello, Mr. Secretary, is there news from my elder brother and nephew?”
“Not yet.” The secretary said.
Huang Xinian felt disappointed.
“Then you are looking for me?”
“I’m here to ask you~www.mtlnovel.com~ Would you like to hire HD security company to rescue your family. If you want, you need to sign an agreement. Of course, you will have to pay an employment fee of 200,000 US dollars afterwards. , If you don’t have money, you can owe it.”
“Also, no matter who asks in the future, you must say that this is a pure employment relationship and does not involve any political issues.” The secretary said.
“In this way, you will save our people?” Huang Xinnian asked.
“Yes.” The secretary nodded.
Without any hesitation, Huang Xinnian signed the agreement presented by the secretary.
“As long as I can rescue my elder brother and nephew, as well as the people in the factory, I can agree to the others, but can I know how you plan to save them?” Huang Xinnian asked.
The secretary shrugged, “I’m sorry, I don’t know.”
“But maybe looking back at the newspaper, you will know what happened.” The secretary nodded again and left after speaking.
