Chapter 199 Develop Hong Kong Business
Hardy came to the Screen Actors Guild office, which is in Hollywood, so it is very convenient for him. This is a 6-story office building. The original chairman's office has been vacated. Hardy made people simply tidy up and move in directly. .
The management had already arranged it before, and now they are all in place. With the original staff, the union has a total of 60 people. Together, they held an inaugural meeting in the conference room.
The meeting is not complicated. Hardy briefly introduced himself. The staff here have actually heard of Mr. Hardy’s name, and they all behaved respectfully.
After the meeting, Hardy asked George and Li Gen to take over the work. He ignored the specific details and reported to him if there was a major event.
Out of the actors’ union, the bodyguards brought him to the auction company. For safety's sake, Hardy also brought bodyguards when he went out. The driver and the co-pilot were accompanied by a car with four people on it.
With the protection of these six people, and Hardy himself has a certain skill, I believe that as long as he does not encounter the attack of dozens of people, he will be able to retreat.
Coming to Han Yezhen’s office, the female secretary stood up, Hadi smiled and told her to sit down, and the female secretary sat down obediently.
Hadi takes Irina away. This is the new secretary Han Yezhen has found.
Pushing open the door, Han Yezhen looked up, Hardy smiled and sent a bunch of flowers, the woman smiled and took it, "I haven't congratulated you on becoming the chairman of the actors' union."
Han Yezhen didn’t go to the party last night. All the people who went to the show were from the entertainment industry. In comparison, Han Yezhen prefers to be clean.
"Thank you, it's just a small matter. Have you received any good things recently?" Hardy asked.
"Yes, I have received a lot of Chinese antiques recently, and the quality is high, let me take you to see." Han Yizhen put the flowers in the vase and said.
The two walked into the treasure house, and there were many antiques on the shelf. “These paintings are ancient paintings of the Song Dynasty. Master Yuan has appraised them and they are undoubtedly authentic.”
Han Yizhen introduced to Hadi one by one, Mi Fu, Zhao Mengjian, Zhu Rui, Guo Xi, Liu Songnian, Cai Jing, some of the names she said, Hadi knew, some had never heard of, but since it is an ancient painting of the Song Dynasty, I want to come here. Great value.
Hadi approached the woman, reached out and grabbed Han Yezhen's hand. Han Yezhen was slightly stiff, but did not look back at Hardy, nor did he pull out her hand. He just paused and continued to tell him about these antiques.
Look at Han Yezhen's profile again.
The skin like suet jade is dyed with a layer of red glow.
Hadi smiled in his heart.
If you don’t refuse, you agree, and your hands are tighter.
There are only two of them in the treasure house. They hold hands and continue to look at antiques. After reading ancient paintings, they also look at porcelain. This time there are a lot of porcelains. They bought more than 100 pieces, and many fine products, in addition to jade and bronze. and many more.
"Why received so many good things this time?" Hardy asked.
Han Yezhen sighed softly, "Maybe it has something to do with the domestic war. I heard Master Yuan say that many wealthy people fled and came to the United States by boat with some life-saving things. The money was spent or they wanted to When I got an errand, I took these things out and sold them."
Hadi thought of the time. It’s November 1947. The country should still be in full swing. Many people leave to avoid war, and most of them are rich people. They will definitely bring out some good things.
At this time, Han Yezhen turned to look at Hardy, "I want to send people to Hong Kong. I heard that many people fled to Hong Kong. Those who came to the United States were only a very small part of the fleeing to Hong Kong. If you open an acquisition company over there, you will definitely be able to I have received a lot of good things, and the quantity is larger than here."
Hadijue’s Han Yezhen’s proposal was very good. Hong Kong was often the first choice for people at that time, because at this moment, the country is no longer open to foreign navigation, and can only transfer to Hong Kong, and then spread out to the United Kingdom or the United States.
Set up an acquisition company in Hong Kong, and you will surely receive a large number of cultural relics.
And he knows that more and more people will flee in the later stage, some big warlords and big capitalists, they bring more assets.
"I agree with this proposal, who are you going to send?" Hardy said.
"I just thought about this, and I haven't thought about the details. It's messy over there. It's better to send a sleek and versatile person over there. Otherwise, the auction house doesn't have a very suitable candidate." Han Yizhen Shaking his head, said with some embarrassment.
Hadi immediately thought of someone, and smiled and said: "Remember Victor?"
"That liar."
"Hehe, yes, whoever is better than him in terms of being flexible, I think it should be no problem to send him." Hardy said.
Victor is French. He is proficient in English. He also knows some financial knowledge, antique art knowledge, and more importantly, he judges the current situation and has a strong psychological quality. Victor is definitely a talent, and it is absolutely no problem for him to be on his own.
"Is it reliable?"
"Relax, sometimes they are more reliable than ordinary employees, because they know the stakes of things better." Hardy said.
Hardy has the means to pinch Victor.
The last time Victor pretended to be a drug dealer and cheated Mexico for a helping hand. Hardy rewarded him with a lot of money. Originally, Victor’s wife lived in Boston. She gave birth to a child a few months ago. She is so cute. Girl, Victor is now working in Los Angeles, so he took his wife and children together.
His family are all here, I believe Victor will not mess around, and Hardy will give him a lot of money, Victor will not be so stupid.
Hardy contacted Victor, and Victor rushed to the auction company when he received a call from Hardy.
"Mr. Hardy, Miss Han." Victor greeted respectfully.
"Victor, do you want to have your own business?" Hardy came up and asked.
Victor was taken aback, and said: "My own business? I have thought about it, but I know my situation, and owning my own business is a luxury."
Hardy waved his hand, “It’s not necessarily an extravagant hope. Now I have a job. See if you want to do it. I plan to set up an auction company in Hong Kong to purchase a large number of antiques, especially Chinese antiques. I need someone who can support the scene. ."
"If you are willing to preside over the work there and have a salary, I will also give you management shares, up to 5%. If you do well in the future, it is not impossible that the dividend shares will become real shares." Hardy said .
If you want horses to run frequently, you must give them no less forage. Hardy is never a stingy person. For those who do things for him, he is willing to let them all make money.
Victor's expression suddenly became eager, "I am willing, I must do things well, by the way, Mr. Hardy, is there only antique business?"
Actually, there are a lot of businesses that can be done in Hong Kong, but Hardy in Hong Kong doesn’t know much about it in this era. Hardy thought for a while and said, "Look in the past. In addition to buying antiques, if there are other good businesses, you can generate electricity. Report here for instructions."
"I understand Mr. Hardy."
Victor is an extremely shrewd guy and doesn’t know what he will tinker with.
“In this way, find 8 people in HD Security and accompany you to Hong Kong. On the one hand, you can be your bodyguard and on the other hand, you can assist you in your work.”
"To acquire the antique business, you should be able to find a professional appraiser over there, and you can start the business yourself."
"First give you 500,000 yuan, 490,000 yuan into Citibank, you can withdraw from Citibank in Hong Kong with the procedures, and 10,000 cash for travel expenses."
Victor just nodded, and Hardy remembered something, and said: "It is estimated that you will buy antiques in the future. These can not be transported in time. If there is a suitable storage place, you can find a way to find a treasure house."
"In the future, there will be more and more people in Hong Kong. The land there will definitely increase in value. If there is an opportunity to buy more land."
"If you have a place, you can build a bigger treasure trove. If you don't have enough manpower, you can send me a telegram. I can send someone there. HD security has people. It's okay to send one or two hundred people in the past. It's all about overseas business. "
Hardy explained a lot in one breath, and Victor noted them down one by one.
Next to Han Yezhen looked at Hardy. This man is really quick and resolute in doing things. He just wants to do it. He is just a suggestion. But within two or three hours before and after, Hardy has arranged everything.
Finally, Hardy looked at Han Yezhen, "Do you have anything else to explain?"
Han Yezhen shook her head, "You have already explained in detail, let Victor go to Hong Kong to see the situation first, and if there is any problem, we can communicate by telegram."
"Okay, so be it, Victor, you go to Lanster dignitaries, and then you go to Andy for money, I will call them." Hardy said.
Victor bid farewell and left.
After Victor left, Hardy picked up the phone and called Lanster and Andy respectively to explain their affairs about Victor.
After putting down the phone, he smiled at Han Yezhen, “It’s done, I didn’t expect Yezhen to go to dinner in the evening.”
Said Han Yezhen and walked out.
was held in hand again, Han Yezhen blushed again, and whispered, "There are other people in the company."
"I'm not afraid of being seen." Then he walked out of the office.
The secretary watched Hardy and Han Yezhen come out, and immediately stood up, and saw that Hardy was holding Han Yezhen's hand, slightly startled, but immediately relieved.
It seems reasonable.
Western restaurant.
The pianist played melodious music, and the room lighting was gentle. Han Yizhen looked at the man in front of him, her eyes full of appreciation.
He is gentle, he is domineering he is smart, but he is also carefree.
She can guess that the female stars are all his women. He can't belong to her only, but since being rescued by him for the first time, she has left the shadow of a man in her heart.
Actually, the family asked her about her situation, and she prevaricates in the past. She likes her current state. Antiques are her hobby. It is a kind of happiness to be able to do what she loves.
Now like this,
pretty good.
After dinner, Hardy sent Han Yezhen home. This is a small apartment that is not luxurious. The two said goodbye at the door.
The woman just wanted to go upstairs.
Hadi suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.
The woman has a meal.
turned and looked at Hardy.
Under the street lamp, the two kissed together.
After separating.
Han Yezhen looked shy and ran into the apartment.
Hadi smiled, turned into the car and left.
