Chapter 233： : Hongmen Business

Hearing Bill said it was from the Gang of Tang Dynasty, Hardy had some speculations in his heart, but when he thought about it, he thought that the Gang of Tang Dynasty might be able to use it.

"Bill, how are you in contact with the Tang Dynasty Gang?" Hardy asked.

"Not bad. Not long after Los Angeles entered San Francisco, Luo Jincheng, deputy leader of the Tang Dynasty, invited me to dinner. We met in Chinatown and talked about cooperation. Originally, I wanted to visit their leader. Luo Jincheng said that their leader Situ Lao The husband is not in the United States, and Luo Jincheng is now fully responsible for matters in the United States." Bill said.

Old Mr. Situ Hadi knew who it was.

Han Yezhen's grandfather.

"Bill, if you help me contact Luo Jincheng, you said there is a big deal to talk to them." Hardy said.

"Big business, how big?" Bill asked curiously.

"Hundreds of millions of dollars is always there?"

Bill was surprised. Although he was the boss of the Los Angeles gang, the business he could contact was only a million-level, hundreds of millions of dollars in business, he couldn't even think about it.

"Boss, don't forget Los Angeles if you have a profitable business. This is also your own property." Bill said like a young wife.

"Don't worry, there is a copy of Los Angeles here." Hardy said angrily.

"Okay, I will contact Luo Jincheng now."

Hanging up the phone, Hardy called Andy again, "Andy, start the truck sales plan tomorrow, let the Global Times and abc advertise."

"Good boss."

"Also, register a shipping company." Hardy said.

"Shipping company, are you planning to do shipping business again?" Andy was surprised.

Hardy smiled, "Now the U.S. military has more than 500 7,000-ton Liberty Vessels and more than 100 15,000-ton Victory Vessels. These freighters are now rusting in the port. Isn't that a violent thing?"

"I plan to take over all of them, even if I don't use them myself, I can make a fortune by reselling them."

The cost of the Freedom Wheel was US$1.6 million and the Victory Wheel was US$3.3 million. Why is it so cheap? Because welding is used instead of tenon and tenon joints, the design life of these freighters is only 5 years, which is to cope with the German wolves bombing operations.

But Hardy knows that some of these freighters in later generations have been used for more than 20 years, and the quality is still very good.

The base price given by the military is very cheap, 180,000 free ships, 350,000 victory ships, this price is only higher than the price of scrap iron.

Hardy’s idea is very simple. These freighters are so cheap and they are all bought under the name of the shipping company. However, he can't use up so many freighters himself. In the future, he can sell the ships while shipping the goods, and make money at both ends.

When you slowly dispose of these freighters and buy new ships with the money you earn, won't you have a large shipping company in your hands?

However, even if it is so cheap that it is only 180,000 for Freedom and 350,000 for Victory, the number is too much. Hardy calculated that it would cost $170 million to win it all.

Fortunately, he has an innate advantage, that is, he can owe debts. The sales contract he signed with the military stated that some buyers have no money and can only owe them first. As for the age limit, it can be delayed up to 10 years.

In less than 10 years, it is estimated that Hardy would have sold these freighters and even made more money.

Andy took notes and set out to do these two things.

The next day.

The abc TV station released an advertisement, and the Hardy Trading Sales Company was going to sell a batch of second-hand trucks, and truck images appeared in the lens.

"Low price, Dodge wc62 truck, down payment 200 US dollars, loan 10 installments of monthly repayment of 50 US dollars. Gmc 2.5 ton military truck, down payment 300 US dollars, loan 10 monthly repayments of 50 US dollars. White 6666 truck, down payment 500 US dollars , The monthly repayment of the loan is $50 for 10 installments."

"Ensure that the performance of the car is intact. At the same time, it comes with original vulnerable parts. Owning a truck may be the cornerstone of your business."

"In addition, in order to encourage veterans to start their own businesses, the Hardy Group announced that all soldiers can waive the first two months of loans by virtue of their veteran certificate."

Freight is still very profitable in this era. In fact, American truck drivers in later generations are also very profitable, but it is difficult for many people to buy a truck at once. The cheaper one is more than two thousand, which is equivalent to an ordinary person for a year. Salary.

Expensive ones like White 6666. The price of a new car is more than 5,000 US dollars, which is really not affordable for ordinary people.

Now there is an opportunity to buy a truck for one-tenth of the price. Many people are immediately tempted. They don't have much money for 2,000 at once, but it is achievable for 200 dollars to find a way.

As for the loan repayment, as long as you have a truck, it is not difficult to repay $50 a month. As long as 10 months, the car will be completely yours in the future.

The advertisement finally said: "If you want to buy a truck, please go to the local Wells Fargo Bank for loan business. After the procedures are complete, pick up the truck at the nearest armory. This time only 20,000 vehicles are sold.

This advertisement was also published in the Global Times newspaper at the same time, and the content was similar to the TV advertisement.

Not everyone has a TV these days, and newspapers are still the most popular and widely used media method.

White is 26 years old this year. He became a stevedore after he was discharged from the Second World War. His dream is to own a truck of his own, because he knows that freight is very profitable. He has been working hard to save money in the past few years after he retired from the army, but he still has it now. Only more than 600 dollars, after all, he has a wife and children, and wants to raise a family.

It may take several years to buy a truck.

When he saw the advertisement of Hardy Company selling trucks, he was immediately excited. He felt that he could realize his dream soon.

What does it have to do with second-hand cars? He drove cars in the army and would repair them a little bit. He knew that the performance of these cars was very good.

He ran home in a hurry, and his wife was surprised how he came back at this time, "Is there no job today? White."

White hugged his wife and kissed him hard.

"Haha, we will have our own truck soon. I will pick up the truck now, and we can live a good life in the future." He said that he rushed into the house and opened the piggy bank, which contained six of his hard-to-save six. More than a hundred dollars and some documents.

When I came to the bank to go through the formalities, I quickly got the formalities for picking up the car. White served as a soldier and was able to waive the interest for the first two months. This is equivalent to saving one hundred dollars. White is very grateful for this. In fact, Hardy Company There has always been a preferential treatment policy for military personnel.

It used to be a TV, and now it is a truck. The Hardy Group is well-known among the veterans.

White found a friend and asked him to take him on a motorcycle for more than a hundred kilometers to the nearest armory, where many people have gathered.

White bought a White 6666. He drove this kind of car in the army. He knew that this guy was very pitiful and pulled a lot, not to mention 6 tons or 16 tons.

After showing the procedures for picking up the car, the soldier on duty let him go in and pick the car by himself, and he could drive which one he fancyed. This gave White a bit of surprise, and he could choose by himself.

Rows of cars were parked there, and many people were already choosing. White was familiar with this kind of car, and quickly picked the one that felt best. He got on the car and drove away smoothly. He showed the procedures for picking up the car at the door. The car drove out smoothly.

"Wow~~!"

White exclaimed in excitement.

He finally has a car of his own, and the performance of this car is very good. It is estimated that there is a Bacheng new car, and it is estimated that it will not be broken after driving for another ten years.

Putting the motorcycle on the bucket with friends, the two drove the truck and sang songs all the way home.

......

Hardy Group has registered another shipping company, and everyone should be able to guess its name.

Hardy Shipping Company.

This is a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Hardy owns 100% of the shares.

On the second day of the company’s establishment, the company signed a purchase and sale contract with an amount of up to 168 million yuan and purchased 662 “abandoned” freighters from the military.

Among them, there are 535 free ships and 127 victory ships.

The repayment date cannot exceed March 1958 at the latest.

The U.S. military at this time is really rich and powerful. If it is in other countries, these assets will be put to good use, but these things are a burden for them. Whether it is the military or the government, the only idea is how to use it as soon as possible. They dispose of it.

For example, pushing a large number of tanks into the sea, throwing 14,000 tons of bombs into the Gulf of Mexico, conducting explosive experiments to destroy explosives, and piercing a warship and sinking into the sea.

what,

Dismantling and selling scrap iron.

Dismantling still requires a fee, and the scrap is worthless, so it's better to lose it and save trouble.

If you don't consume materials, how can those arms dealers make money?

......

Bill contacted Luo Jincheng, the current deputy head of the Tang People's Gang. Luo Jincheng was a little surprised when he heard that Hardy was about to see himself.

Could it be because the other party knew about the weapons and medical supplies in the gang, and asked for trouble.

Not right, this should be a matter of the US government.

Besides, the Los Angeles Gang is Hardy’s property. The Tang Gang and the Los Angeles Gang have had a good relationship since Los Angeles. They said hello before they came to San Francisco. It stands to reason that the Hardy boss shouldn’t bother himself.

No matter what, since the other party wants to see him, he should see him first. Luo Jincheng promised Bill, "I also want to see Mr. Hardy too. I don't know where to meet?"

"The boss said that we will meet in San Francisco, what does Mr. Luo like?" Bill said.

"good."

Two days later.

Hardy’s plane landed at San Francisco Airport.

Bill brought his men over to pick up Hardy. Hardy got in the car and went to the manor that Bill bought in San Francisco. A car drove into the manor an hour later.

Luo Jincheng walked into the living room with the secretary, Hadi smiled and stood up, Luo Jincheng stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Hardy."

"Hello, Mr. Luo."

The two shook hands.

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Hardy this time?" Luo Jincheng asked.

Hardy smiled slightly, "I want to do a business with you, I wonder if Hongmen is interested?"

Luo Jincheng was slightly startled.

Because Hardy was talking about Hongmen, the scope of Hongmen was much broader.

"I don't know what business it is?"

"Selling military supplies, I know that Hongmen has power in more than 30 countries, especially in Asia. Our Hardy Group has undertaken the post-war material sales business of the US military. I think there is a vast market in Asia."

"But we are not very familiar with Asia, so we want to find organizations that are familiar with the situation in Asia and have a certain degree of strength. I don't know if Hongmen is willing?" Hardy asked.

Luo Jincheng was shocked when he heard Hardy's words.

He didn't expect Hardy to ask himself to help sell the supplies of the US military, and to go to Asia. If this is the case, then he spent so much money before and tried to smuggle things over.

It can be blatantly transported now.

"I don't know how Mr. Hardy is going to cooperate?" Luo Jincheng asked tentatively I am responsible for transporting things, and you are responsible for contacting sales, Thailand, Myanmar, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia Come to Asia, Indonesia... "Hadi said a bunch of names.

"Does it include weapons?" Luo Jincheng asked?

"Except for heavy weapons."

"Does that include China?"

Hardy smiled, "Now the United States has a weapon ban on that side, so it can't be shipped out loudly. I can sell it to other countries and places, but if someone smuggles it into China, I can't help it."

"Mr. Hardy, don't know how much profit we can get?" Luo Jincheng asked.

"Ten percent." Hardy smiled.
