Chapter 230： : Acquisition of Marvel

For the Jeep battle badge, the military conscientiously used the copper alloy used for coining coins. One badge uses about 5 one-cent coins. The value of the badge can be imagined.

One sells for $2.

The logistics department is responsible for this business. All those who want to buy badges should send a letter by mail and send the remittance to the account established by the logistics department. You will receive the package in about 2 weeks.

As for checking the combat experience and opening the letter of certification, the logistics department really can't do it, but they have a way. After receiving the letter, they will all forward it to the Pentagon Military Archives.

Major General Williams went to the Pentagon specifically to meet with Major General Cooley, who is in charge of archives management, and set a price of one dollar per letter of certification.

"What, just give us one dollar, you just receive the letter and pass it to us, take away 9 dollars without a little effort, Williams, you are the most shameless guy I have ever seen!"

"Do you know how much work we have to do? The situation of each soldier must be carefully checked. The files are as high as a mountain, and some of them are not found at all. Do you know how much work this is? Only one dollar was given to us. ."

Major General Curry shouted at Williams.

The voices spread to the outside office, drew a lot of office staff's attention, and said that the two major generals would not fight, right?

However, William knew that Cooley was acting. He did not refuse from beginning to end, he just rejected the low price.

To put it bluntly, I just want more money.

As Major General, William spread his hands and whispered, "Didn't I have asked the person who opened the letter to provide clues. Many letters have been written very clearly. You only need to check the authenticity."

"That also requires a lot of work." Major General Cooley said.

"1.5 dollars, can't be more, we can support a batch of envelopes and postcards." Williams said.

Major General Cooley is also confident, because only they can do this business, and there is no point in the proof without the Pentagon stamp.

But he was afraid that the talk with Williams would collapse. Their file room was a clean water office, and there was no external block at all. After all, the logistics department made such a profitable thing. Major General Cooley would never let him slip away. .

As for money.

Of course not for individuals.

But there are many ways to spend money legally and reasonably. The money is put into the Pentagon Archives's fund account. They can organize team building activities, bring family members to team building in Miami, and team building in Hawaii to increase family love.

is that OK.

"Too little, at least $3." Major General Cooley said.

How could Williams agree.

The two major generals began to bargain like the aunts of grocery shopping, and finally settled at 2 dollars per letter.

Both sides laughed.

Shaking hands means happy cooperation.

In fact, they are all acting, nothing more than trying to gain more benefits.

"Badges and battles prove, Williams, who came up with such a genius idea, how we didn't expect that if we could think of it, the bulk of it would go to our archives." Major General Cooley said with emotion.

"This idea is not what we thought of. It was the idea of ​​Jon Hardy, the boss of Hardy Group. He is now helping us sell post-war supplies." Williams said.

"Jon Hardy, I've heard that it took him only two or three years to earn his current industry. It's really amazing. No wonder he can come up with such a brilliant idea, and he can make money to the extreme. "Major General Cooley said with a smile.

"I really want to meet the Hardy boss if I have a chance."

Although this income may be only a few hundred thousand, for a Qingshui government such as the archives office, it is also a lot of income, which can improve a lot of welfare for the people below.

The two businesses of badges and certification letters also have Hardy's share.

Although Hardy did not participate, these two transactions are also included in the sales contract, and Hardy can be assigned to his share.

Hardy told Williams that this business can actually be done for a long time. Ten million veterans are a very large base. If 10 million badges can be sold, it will be a $20 million business.

There is also a certification letter. If 1 million copies can be issued, it is also a big business of tens of millions of dollars.

After returning to the logistics headquarters, Major General Williams called Hardy to tell him the situation. Hearing this, Hardy remembered one thing.

"General, I would love to meet Major General Cooley, and there is one more thing I want Major General Cooley to help." Hardy said.

"What can I do for him?" Major General Williams was a little surprised.

What can the archives do.

"The process of the battle, the details of the battlefield, and the video materials shot on the battlefield should all be taken care of by the archives. The abc TV station will use a lot of text and video materials to produce war documentaries. I hope I can borrow a batch of materials." road.

"This really belongs to them. Okay, I'll help you contact him. Let's find a place to get together. You speak to Curry in person." Major General Williams said.

Hardy never let go of the relationship that can be used.

Is this a manifestation of awesome social disorder?

Military archives are generally placed in the National Archives, but these archives still belong to the military. The military will send a senior representative into the National Archives and become a member of the Archives Committee. As usual, Major General Cooley is the senior military representative. , Member of the Archives Committee.

The large amount of video materials he manages is very helpful for the production of documentaries. Even some texts, photos, and video materials of the Japanese military are preserved by the US military. Hardy really wants to get it and make a batch of documentaries that reflect the atrocities of Japanese aggression.

Some low-level races never admit their crimes, so people all over the world can see their ugly faces and countless crimes.

the next day.

Hardy took the plane to Washington.

This is Hardy's first visit to the capital of this country.

When Hardy met Major General Cooley in a private club, both sides were very sexual. They naturally met each other and quickly became friends.

Regarding Hardy's proposal to borrow materials, Major General Cooley said he was okay, but also told Hardy that some of the confidentiality levels were too high to be leaked to the outside world, and he could only be given data that he could publish.

There are a lot of these estimates, and Hardy is already satisfied.

When he returned from Washington, Hardy ordered the abc TV station to contact the National Archives to prepare more documentaries.

......

Hardy Group Headquarters,

Office of the Chairman.

Andy reports to Hardy.

“Because of the Jeep fire, Willis’ stock has skyrocketed. I sold it at $46.5 and made a total profit of 9.62 million U.S. dollars. Although their stock price growth has slowed down a lot in recent days, they have risen by more than one dollar. You could put it out at the beginning." Andy said.

Hardy smiled softly.

"No one can predict the peak of the stock, as long as we meet our psychological expectations can be sold, you have done a great job." Hardy said.

Andy continues to report.

"There is news from Hong Kong that the pharmaceutical company has been registered, called'Hadi Group Hong Kong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.' and the people from Mersey Pharmaceuticals are already installing equipment."

"Wells Fargo has found suitable office locations in Hong Kong and Japan. Hong Kong bought a bank. That bank was closed during the Japanese Occupation Period. After Japan was defeated, the bank reopened. However, there has been no improvement. Wells Fargo contacted them. Later, the other party happily sold all the bank's assets to them."

"As for Japan, you said before that it was possible to buy some Japanese bank companies. After the war, a large number of banks went bankrupt in Japan. One of them was a'Chiyo Bank', which was opened by the Chiyo family. The rich countries felt pretty good after investigation."

"Chiyo Bank is headquartered in Tokyo and has branches in other major cities. It is a large bank with industries all over Japan. At its most brilliant, it was rated as the ninth largest bank in Japan. Almost all the banks in front were banks belonging to large chaebols. Chiyo Bank provided a large amount of capital for the Japanese military industry. After the defeat in 1945, their banking business was severely restricted."

"After the war, the Japanese people had no money in their hands and withdrew a lot of cash. Chiyo Bank originally had hundreds of thousands of depositors. The cash was not enough to pay, and only a small part of it was paid. They can't hold on and are on the verge of bankruptcy."

"After Wells Fargo contacted them, Qiandai Bank was very active and hoped to be acquired by Wells Fargo. The Chidai family only kept a small share of the shares, and all the others were given to Wells Fargo Bank."

Hardy squinted his eyes and said lightly: "Send? They are so kind, and they don't want the rich countries to take over their bad debts."

"Rich country has carried out the accounting, took over the Qiandai Bank, and became a major shareholder. It is more cost-effective than buying assets directly. It also has mature business channels and it is more convenient to carry out work. If you set up a bank by yourself, it will take about a year longer." Dedao.

Hardy waved his hand.

"You tell Johnston, don't merge, just buy, let Chidai Bank go bankrupt, wait until they go bankrupt and then buy their assets, we set up a bank with clean assets, so much trouble." Hardy said.

Bank bankruptcy,

Millions of savers cannot get their money back.

It's none of Hardy's business.

"I understand the boss, I will tell John." Andy said.

Continue to report.

"The Global Times report.

The arrangements have been made on the Japanese side and the work has been carried out normally, and the Hong Kong side has also begun to operate. According to your instructions, the Global Times Hong Kong branch sent reporters to China and North Korea. Those reporters had previously worked as war correspondents in the Asian battlefield, and were concerned about the situation in the East. More familiar. "

Hardy nodded.

Although he has no ability to change the general trend of the world, he can let people in the outside world know more about what is happening there, and it is considered to have done his part.

"Andy, let the abc broadcasting company send people to Hong Kong and Japan to investigate, and prepare to build radio and television stations in these two places." Hardy ordered.

The newspaper is there.

How can there be no radio and TV stations?

The first is the strongest.

The Hardy media empire must cover Asia.

"Good boss." Andy hurriedly wrote down Hardy's orders.

After remembering it, Andy raised his head and continued to report, "Boss, I have already contacted the two comic companies you selected. "Detective Comics" said that it has no plans to sell. I sent someone to investigate. "Detective Comics" "There are a total of four shareholders. The current president of the comics club is called Lebo Weitz, a publisher, and holds 22% of the shares."

"Two of the other three companies have individual shares. Warner holds the most shares. Warner holds 47%. "Detective Comics" is now the nation's largest comics agency. Last year, the total sales volume reached tens of millions."

"Two comics have been adapted into movies, one is Superman and the other is Batman."

DC is not called dc now, but "Detective Comics", but when Hardy saw their comics, he knew that this comic club was the famous dc comics company in later generations.

Now DC has matured, with a bunch of characters such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Atom, Ghost, Doctor Destiny, Time Man and Sandman.

The sales situation is good, and it is backed by the big tree of Warner, so naturally there is no idea of ​​selling it.

"If you don't sell it, then forget it." Hardy said lightly.

When the Paramount Act is implemented, life for big film companies will become difficult, and maybe they can talk to Warner there.

"Boss, we contacted Marvel boss Goodman. He was very interested in the acquisition of our Hardy Group. He told people in the past that he hopes to see you."

"See me, it's okay." Hardy smiled.

Marvel is his goal. Goodman wants to sell, so Hardy is naturally willing to meet him.

Two days later.

Two young men walked into the headquarters building of Hardy Group Hardy met them in the office. Goodman was a little thin in his thirties, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face, followed by a couple. Young people in their teens.

"Hello, Mr. Hardy, this is Goodman, this is Stan Lee, the editor-in-chief of our comics club." Goodman introduced himself.

Hardy looked at the handsome guy with long black hair and long face behind Goodman, and said that this was Stan Lee, the real creator of the Marvel world. He was the editor-in-chief, chief writer and art director of Marvel at the age of 19.

Hardy walked over to shook hands with Goodman, shook hands with Stan Lee, smiled and greeted them to sit down on the sofa next to them.

"Sit down and talk, what should we drink?" Hardy asked.

The nervousness of the two people relaxed a lot. Originally, they thought that a billionaire like Hardy would probably be aloof and put on a look of despising others, but they didn't expect to be so easy-going.
