Chapter 172： : Resource Exchange

Walking out of the airport, there was a motorcade parked outside. The car was marked with the letters ‘HD’, "Is this Congressman Nicholas?"

The person in charge of the security company approached and asked.

"it's me."

"Hello, Mr. Senator, I'm here to pick you up, please get in the car, and I will take you to the HD Security Headquarters." The greeter said.

Nicholas and his assistant got in the car, and the car drove all the way to the HD security headquarters in the Hollywood area. After more than a year of construction, HD security has long been not the toy factory at the beginning, but has become a tightly guarded base.

Before the car entered the gate, the driver picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Headquarters, I am car number 15. The guest has received it, and I will enter the base immediately."

"Headquarters received."

Nicholas and his assistant looked at the walkie-talkie and said that the HD security is really advanced. Even the military walkie-talkie is equipped, and the police do not have this thing now.

The car was parked under the office building. As soon as Nicholson got out of the car, he saw Hardy, Lanster and others greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Senator, this is Jon Hardy." Hardy smiled and shook hands with each other.

"Mr. Hardy, I have heard your name a long time ago, and I finally met this time." Nicholas said with a smile.

At this moment, two photographers came next to him, one carrying the camera, the other holding the camera, and shooting continuously at the two.

"This is?" Nicholas was surprised.

"Hehe, Mr. Congressman is visiting. Naturally such an important matter must be recorded. When I look back, I will ask people to publish today's news in the newspaper. There are photos that match the picture." Hardy said.

Nicolas said with ease that this Hardy is really sweet. If he finds a newspaper to publish in the newspaper, he doesn't need to send the press to the newspaper himself.

The two walked into the headquarters building.

Hardy introduced the various departments to Nicosson, stationed in the business department, the logistics support department, the intelligence analysis room, the technical defense support department, the operation command...

Nicolas said with ease, it's no wonder HD security is so powerful, and the department set up is completely different from other security companies, and it is completely adapted according to the military settings.

After visiting the headquarters.

Hardy also invited Nicholas to visit the security team training.

The base is 30 acres. In addition to office buildings and warehouses, a training base has also been built. Team members who do not go to the field will exercise here.

Obstacle running, battle training, weapon shooting training.

The training is in full swing, Nicholson also participated in World War II, and has a lot of affection for the army, watching the HD team training is very emotional.

"I think the amount of training is larger than when I was in the army, but it looks very scientific, almost all the items are included." Nicholas said.

"This training method is specially designed by us to find someone to exercise the soldier's personal ability and overall quality to the maximum." Hardy said.

The team members gather at the end of the training.

More than two hundred team members stood there, one by one full of energy, showing a sturdy and mighty temperament.

Nicosson enthusiastically took a photo with these people.

The videographer photographer recorded this scene.

Hardy had previously instructed the photographer not to feel bad about the film and leave enough image data, not just for the newspaper, but only one photo is enough for the newspaper.

Hardy thinks more, waiting for the guy to become the vice president or the president in the future, and take out these materials to make a show, which is another wave of powerful propaganda for HD security.

You want to lend me a show.

Don't blame me for advertising with you in the future.

Inside Hardy's office.

The secretary brought two cups of coffee, put them down and exited. Only Nicholas and Hardy were left in the room. Hardy helped Nicholasson fix a cigar, and the two chatted with each other smoking the cigar.

"Hadi, I heard that your home is in Orange County?"

"Correct."

"My home is in the town of Yorba Linda, and we are only an hour's drive away." Nicholas said with a smile.

"We are the real fellows." Hardy said with a smile.

"Yes, which unit did you serve in the past?" Nicholson asked.

"I serve in the Marine Corps."

"I'm also serving in the Navy." Nicholas said.

The two talked about their experiences when they were soldiers.

"Hadi, when I came back this time, I saw that Los Angeles has changed a lot, there are more people on the streets, and more lively. This is inseparable from the contribution of HD security. It is in my heart that watching Los Angeles become better and better. Happy." Nicholas said.

"This is not my contribution alone. Mr. Congressman works in the government, and what he does is for the betterment of his hometown. Everyone will see your contribution." Hardy said.

"Then let's work together to make our hometown a better place?" Nicholson said, reaching out to Hardy.

Hardy did not hesitate.

He stretched out his hand and shook Nicholsson's hand.

"Work together to contribute to the construction of our hometown."

Hardy smiled and said: "Mr. Senator, if there is anything you need, just speak up. You are a parliamentarian going out from your hometown. For the construction of your hometown, I am willing to support the parliamentarian from your hometown to a higher position."

Hardy’s words were straightforward enough.

Nicholasone naturally understood.

This is the purpose of his trip, and now the two have finally reached a consensus.

As for how to cooperate in the future, we will negotiate again when we encounter problems.

noon.

Hardy invited Nicosson to eat in a nice restaurant. Nicosone was enthusiastic and went to the Barbie Factory, Playboy Magazine, TV Factory and ABC TV's headquarters in Los Angeles in the afternoon.

The ABC TV station has not officially launched yet, but there are already many people busy preparing for the launch of the program.

Walking into a studio, Hardy gave Nicholas a talk show. The host would invite movie stars, scientists, and politicians to participate in the show.

When he said here, he looked at Nicholas and said: "Mr. Nicholas, if Mr. Congressman needs publicity in the future, ABC TV can help and make a talk show, so that the people of the United States will watch it. I believe it will be of great help to you. Propaganda role."

Nicosone's eyes lighted up and his expression was a little excited.

Television is indeed a tool for propaganda. If he does a talk show and the people know him, he goes to the local area to do propaganda, the effect will be even better if he wants to.

Think about those movie stars and singers, they will be sought after by people wherever they go. Members of Parliament spend money on publicity, isn't it just to achieve this effect?

"Hadi, I am here to thank you first, maybe I will ask you for help someday." Nicholas said.

"Hehe, I believe this day will come soon."

This sentence actually means wishing Nicholasone will rise, which makes Nicholasone very happy.

Nicholson looked at Hardy, thought of something and lowered his voice slightly and said, "Hardy, I and San Francisco Mayor George Whelan are friends. If your HD security wants to sign a contract with the San Francisco Police Department, I can help introduce it. ."

HD security has opened a branch in San Francisco, and the security personnel of Wells Fargo and Bank of America in San Francisco have now all been replaced by HD security.

Lanster had contacted the current chief of the San Francisco Police Department before, hoping to cooperate, but the chief of the police named Shi Ge was very uncomfortable with this model. He felt that the existence of HD security greatly weakened the power of the police.

The police should control their own power rather than relying on leasing. That will only allow others to grow, and the police's power will shrink more and more.

So now I have not been able to sign a contract with the San Francisco Police Department.

If Nicholson introduces the mayor of San Francisco to him, then Hardy can go with the mayor of San Francisco and directly give orders to the director.

You see,

I just made friends, show some sincerity, and now I have something to gain.

This is called always paying back.

"Mr. Nicholson, it's better to contact Mayor Whelan, and we will have a meal and chat tonight." Hardy said.

Nico said relievedly that this Hardy did things really neatly.

I just mentioned that, he was ready to implement it immediately.

No wonder he can own such a large industry in a short period of time.

Perhaps it is because of this vigorous vigor.

"no problem."

Nicholson called San Francisco and the call was quickly connected. The two exchanged a few words. Nicholson said that he wanted to introduce him to a friend.

"Who?"

"The boss of HD Security, Jon Hardy."

"Jon Hardy, I know, I would love to meet each other."

"Are you free that night, shall we have a meal together?"

"Are you in San Francisco?"

"I'm in Los Angeles, and Mr. Hardy has his own airline, so he can go there anytime." Nicholas said.

......

After more than an hour,

A C-52 landed at the San Francisco Airport, with the logo of HD Aviation on the fuselage. If Hardy’s B-29 aerial fortress was still being remodeled, it must be driven over.

The mayor of San Francisco hosted Nicholas and Hardy in a club. Hardy and each other met for the first time. Mayor Whelan is about fifty years old this year. His figure is already fat and his hair is slightly curly. Points are kind.

Although the word kind is not suitable for a politician, the first feeling that George Whelan really gives is kindness.

Hardy said in his heart, this guy has a natural face to be in politics.

Both parties exchanged greetings, Hardy is now also a celebrity, the two soon became friends, had dinner together, and the three took a walk by the lake.

"Whelan, are you going to run for state assembly next year?" Nicholson asked.

"Yes, I have this idea. What about you, are you going to run for the Senate next year?" Whelan asked.

Nicholas nodded, "I do have that idea, but you know that I am too young and have poorer qualifications, so I need help from friends."

When Nicholson said this, he smiled and looked at Hardy beside him At this time, Hardy looked at Mayor Whelan and said with a smile, "Mr. Mayor, if you participate in the election If you need campaign funds, I’m willing to contribute 50,000 US dollars."

"Also, my ABC radio station will start broadcasting soon. At that time, I can help you shoot a promotional video and play it on it to increase your visibility on the East Coast."

Whelan was overjoyed.

50,000 US dollars is a lot of money, saving enough to support the election of other state legislators, and it can also be used for publicity on TV.

Whelan stabilized her mind and said with a smile: "Actually, I heard about the name of HD security a long time ago. Now the Los Angeles Police Department cooperates with HD security and has achieved very good results. I think this model can also be introduced in San Francisco. It's worth a try."

Hardy smiled knowingly.

This is called resource exchange.

You get what you want, and I get what I want. Both parties are happy, and there is one more friend.
