"Henry, continue to track down this line and try your best to collect evidence." Hardy told Henry.
"Okay boss, I have sent someone to monitor the people around Dewey, maybe it will be effective." Henry said.
Hardy thought for a while and said: "Find another suitable person to make the needle to pierce the wound. The identity of the reporter is best."
"Don't worry, boss, our security and intelligence department has deployed manpower in all industries, and the newspaper also has them." Henry said.
The HD security intelligence department has developed very fast in the past year. Henry has three or four hundred people under him. In order to protect his own industry, Hardy asked Henry to put the eyeliner of the intelligence department in each of his companies.
not only that,
If Hardy wants to learn more about the industry of outsiders, he will also send someone to learn about the internal situation, so that he can be targeted.
These people have a proper noun, called commercial spies.
Hardy's request for Henry is to build a strong and independent intelligence agency, which is only under Hardy's orders. In Hardy's mind, he hopes that his intelligence agency's strength is no less than that of the later FBI or CIA.
To **** your own industry.
It has also become a sharp sword for expanding its territory.
Others run businesses mainly for making money, while Hardy's business is planning to build the Hardy Group as a ‘country’.
Making money is not the first.
Sometimes, you can give up some benefits in order to complete certain aspects of construction, but when your overall strength becomes stronger, making money will become easier.
Hardy Company.
Hardy Group.
Hardy Kingdom.
The ultimate goal of Hardy is to build a "Hadi Empire" whose strength is not less than that of the country. It is not a country. It does not need land, but it is extremely powerful.
certainly,
Before such an empire is fully established, it needs a piece of fertile land that can allow him to continuously absorb nutrients and grow.
The best choice for this piece of land is the United States.
someone said.
The U.S. is very powerful. Hardy can shake neither military force nor politics, but don’t forget that the people who control everything are actually a single individual, composed of a single individual.
The president is very powerful,
But he is just a person.
Congress is very strong.
But he is made up of councillors.
The consortium is very strong.
But he is made up of companies.
And Hardy is one of them. While he keeps absorbing nutrients, he will continue to divide and strengthen himself and make himself stronger.
Hardy reacted suddenly.
Oh shit,
Is he a cancer cell? !
......
After President Johnson finished his speech in Salt Lake City, the next stop was originally planned to go to Carson City, the capital of Nevada, but he received a call from Hardy, hoping that he would go to Las Vegas first. Johnson did not hesitate to change the formation and decided Next stop to Las Vegas.
The Mayor of Las Vegas brought a group of officials and many Las Vegas entrepreneurs to the airport to greet him.
Landing.
As soon as President Johnson got off the plane, the reporters immediately held up their cameras to take pictures without stopping, and the flashes flashed.
Johnson stood on the escalator and waved with a smile.
After walking down, they shook hands and greeted these people, and then everyone got on the car together. The presidential motorcade was in front, and the people behind spontaneously drove to keep up, turning into a long motorcade.
When the convoy came to downtown Las Vegas, countless people stood on both sides of the street, some holding American flags, some holding flowers, and some holding banners, "supporting President Johnson's re-election."
President Johnson changed into a convertible and sat in the car and smiled and waved to the people. The convoy walked very slowly. A beautiful woman threw the bouquet in her hand to the President, "Your Excellency, I love you."
At the same time, a kiss was blown.
If anyone is familiar with it, this woman is the Las Vegas Hardy Hotel Casino, the most well-known striptease dancer on the striptease team, and the famous stunt is pole dancing. Now she is also a small celebrity in Las Vegas. .
President Johnson received the bouquet, held it in his hand and waved it at the people, again receiving countless cheers.
What is this called,
This is called close to the people.
**** is also a member of the people.
President Johnson stayed at the Hardy Hotel for the last time. A speech will be given tomorrow, and his staff will prepare and Hardy’s people will help. In the luxurious suite on the top floor of the Hardy Hotel, Johnson is chatting with Hardy.
Hardy did not go to the airport to pick up the plane, but waited directly for Johnson at the hotel.
"Congratulations, Mr. President, your support rate is getting higher and higher, and every place you go is warmly welcomed by the people." Hardy said with a smile.
Johnson was very calm, shook his head and said, "No, now I am still at a disadvantage. Since the last poll, the big media have begun to advocate for Dewey. Have you read the latest New York Times and Washington Post?"
Hardy nodded and said he had seen it.
The New York Times published an article stating that Johnson should admit his failure immediately so that he could save some money.
According to the Washington Post, the major polling agencies of Roper, Gallup, and Crossley analyzed that although Johnson's approval rating has risen, it has not yet threatened Dewey. They all believe that Dewey's victory is bound to win.
Johnson took a sip of wine and said, "I still need to work hard. My approval rating is not stable and I am still at a disadvantage."
Talking about what he thought of here, he said angrily: "Even some foreign guys think I will definitely lose. It's really hateful."
Hardy naturally knew that Johnson was talking about Chiang. He smiled and did not say anything. Johnson has hated Chiang. This is no longer a political disagreement, but a personal grievance, because Johnson feels that Chiang’s behavior is a betrayal to him. humiliation.
"We still have more than three months to improve step by step. I believe the people will know who is the most correct choice." Hardy said.
Johnson looked at Hardy and said sincerely: "Hadi, thank you for your support, because my business, being conspired by Dewey, may affect your business."
Speaking of this, Johnson lowered his voice subconsciously, "I have already called the judge and we have communicated. I have expressed my attitude. I believe they will consider it as appropriate."
Johnson is also very tactful. After all, this kind of power transaction is private, and Johnson doesn't want to be caught by anyone.
"Thank you, Mr. President." Hardy smiled and raised his cup.
After the two took a sip, Hardy said: "In fact, we have no way to fight back. There is something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" President Johnson asked.
"A reporter under the Global Times found something. He secretly reported to me that he had discovered that Chinese officials had contacted Dewey privately. Later, he used secret channels to investigate Dewey's private campaign funds after those people had left. There is an extra 5 million US dollars in the account. The money was remitted from Sao Paulo, Brazil. It is very likely that the money was given by those people." Hardy said.
Johnson's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Receiving donations from foreigners is a violation of federal law. As a prosecutor, Dewey cannot fail to know the seriousness of this kind of thing."
"Did they reach any agreement?" Johnson asked.
"They were on the golf course when they contacted. No one knows what the two said, but it is not difficult to guess that Dewey must be the answering party and will support the war in the east after he takes office." Hardy said.
Johnson's face became a little ugly. The day before, he saw Chiang openly supporting Dewey, and now he knows that he actually supported his competitors with the money he helped, and Johnson felt even more annoyed in his heart.
Originally, he was thinking about stopping support for Jiang in private, but now he feels that he must teach the other party a lesson to let him know the fate of betraying and humiliating himself.
"Hadi, what about Dewey, do you have some evidence in your hand?" Johnson asked.
"There are photos taken secretly when the two met. As for bank transfers, it is not difficult to check." Hardy said.
Johnson thought for a while and said, "I will let the FBI investigate this matter. It should not be difficult to obtain evidence. As long as this matter comes out, Dewey violates federal laws and collects foreign campaign funds privately. I believe it is definitely a big deal for Dewey. Blow."
Hardy had already had a set of thoughts before, saying: "Mr. President, it was revealed that Dewey received foreign funds. Although it will cause a certain blow to his reputation, as long as he chooses to refund and apologize, it will be some reputation damage at most. As for injuries."
"Oh, do you have any ideas Hardy?" Johnson asked.
"If someone murdered a reporter in order to cover up a crime, would you say that this matter will be a sensation, and that this matter will involve the presidential election, and will it involve one of the candidates, will it be even more sensational?!"
"I intend to drag Dewey into this quagmire. In the next few months, he will not have time for publicity activities, but will be continuously investigated."
"The presidential candidate is involved in a murder case in order to cover up the truth of the crime. What do you think the voters will think of him? Will the voters choose a murderer president? Will the congressmen support a candidate who is behind the suspicion?" Hardy whispered.
President Johnson was shocked Hardy, are you going to kill that reporter? "
Hardy shook his head, "No, no, no, it's just creating a chase and it won't let him really die."
Johnson only breathed a sigh of relief.
Hardy looked at President Johnson and said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I did it for my own sake. Dewey sent someone to investigate my casino and wanted to disturb my business. It is normal for me to choose revenge. Bar."
"Your Excellency, you should not know about this matter from now on, and it will not involve you. You only need to make a good speech. I believe that with your efforts, the public's support rate will become higher and higher. "
Johnson nodded slightly.
Hardy said: "Let’s continue discussing your speech. Tomorrow I will let Las Vegas have a live broadcast of tomorrow’s speech. You know that although Las Vegas TV does not have as high ratings as ABC, It is also a national TV station, especially those who like to watch lottery shows, will pay close attention to this channel."
