Hardy stayed with Han Yezhen for a few days in Hong Kong. The woman was in a particularly good mood these days. The two were lying in bed that night. Han Yezhen leaned against Hardy and said, "You have a lot of things on your side, and you stayed with me for a few days. Go ahead and do your own business tomorrow."
"I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so I want to accompany you more." Hardy stroked the woman's back.
"What can I do? There are housekeepers, chefs, babysitters, bodyguards, and the masters of Chinese medicine also come to check on me regularly. There is nothing to worry about. There are so many women in the world who have children, so you don't need to be so nervous." Han Yizhen said.
Hardy did something.
"Well, then I have time to accompany you." Hardy said.
Han Yezhen nodded.
The two were next to each other, and the woman felt the changes in Hardy's body. She looked up at Hardy and smiled softly: "Do you use me to help you?"
......
Hardy returns to Japan.
Managers from various departments came to report that all enterprises are now operating according to their plans. Industrial enterprises have become parts processing plants in the United States, light industry has become a production base for living materials in the United States, and now all have entered a profitable stage.
Although there are shipping costs, labor is too cheap here, and cost accounting is much cheaper than production in the United States. Capitalists make money by reckoning, and naturally a steady stream of business flows into Japan.
The Japanese people pay their labor to earn wages, and at the same time stimulate the consumer market. Some lifestyle products produced in Japan are also sold in Japan, directly earning Japanese money.
More people have money in their hands, and the black market is booming.
The red light district is already open for business.
Nightclubs, taverns, love houses, and women's shops, where women can do business normally and men consume freely, and soon become lively.
Don't doubt a man's sense of smell.
Even those hiding in dark corners can be found. This kind of clearly marked and reasonably priced place for legal consumption is definitely a paradise for men. Men with money in their hands can meet three or five friends for a drink and enjoy a drink. Normal.
There are also people who come here to play slot machines and pinball machines. Gambling is still illegal now. Varying forms are not illegal. Hardy asked them to get the pachinko set, billiard **** and slot machine coins, not money. He won the ball and The currency is exchanged for rewards, and there is a business of rewards for money next to it, completing a perfect closed loop.
You say this is called opportunistic gambling in disguise?
Do not,
This is called the fair use rule.
legitimate.
No one cares.
In fact, Hardy also thought about promoting the legalization of gambling in Japan, which may not be unsuccessful.
After the legalization of gambling, the government has benefited the most, because the government can collect taxes, and gambling is heavily taxed, and most of the money will be earned by the government.
In the current model, the government does not receive a penny of tax, and all the profits belong to the gang. Of course, most of the money from the gang has to be handed in. After layers of transmission, it finally gathers in Hardy's hands. This money is more legal than legal. Casinos make a lot of money.
And in the red light district next to the US military base, it was even more vigorous, singing and dancing all day long, as if they were holding parties every day, and those American soldiers were playing crazy.
Do not return to the barracks all night.
MacArthur was also a strange general. He felt that it was nothing for the soldiers to go out and play, so the American soldiers would all run into the red light zone as long as they let the wind go.
There are not only food, beauties, drinks, all kinds of enjoyment and entertainment, but also things that make them more excited.
poison.
That's right.
In Japan, Hardy no longer bans his subordinates from doing this business, and still specially assigns someone to vigorously run this project.
The main variety is ice.
In fact, ice was invented very early. During the Second World War, Japan had already used it in large quantities to enhance the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Many Japanese soldiers killed people wildly, and the kamikaze commandos, who feared death, were responsible for these drugs.
Even in the latter part of the war, in order to inspire the fighters to fight frantically, Germany and Japan simply added these things to their rations.
After Japan was defeated.
The Allied forces occupied Japan and found a large number of pills.
It was said to be worth several million dollars. Later, the Allied forces simply put the tablets in hospitals and pharmacies to sell the tablets and made a lot of money from them.
Because it is legal, it is sought after by the public. Many Japanese artists, singers, writers, band members, and people in the literary and artistic circles joined the ranks and became drug addicts. Later, the Japanese government discovered the problem and enacted a doping ban. The flooding on the surface just stopped.
but,
What stops is only the surface.
There was no decrease in secret, but it was not sold by pharmacies and turned to be controlled by gangs. Before Hardy formed the "Straw Hat Group", the drug business was one of the traditional businesses of Japanese gangs.
Among the companies acquired by Hardy, there are chemical companies that produce semi-finished drugs and chemical products on the surface, but secretly produce them on a large scale and provide them to the Japanese market in large quantities. This is one of the major items consumed in the red light district.
Yellow gambling and drugs.
The traditional craftsmanship of the gang cannot be lost.
Our main purpose is not to make money, but to promote American traditional culture and enrich the cultural and entertainment life of the Japanese people.
It is a major event that merits the present and benefits the future.
His American father has legalized smoking jelly and is about to open a big smokehouse. How can he be a son behind.
Even because of the high production volume, drugs returned to the United States. Hardy did not participate in the drug business in the United States. However, those gangster families were all doing this business and quickly accepted the cheaper ice market.
Began to become one of the three main products in the US market.
The source of suppliers is this little-known secret chemical factory in Japan.
As for the funds for transactions between the two parties, they do not have to circulate in the hands of the other party, but enter the Cayman Islands. In the future, Cayman may become the largest drug trading market.
Hardy has calculated that Hardy can make a fortune in several environments such as source shipments, intermediate transportation, American gang distribution, and Cayman money laundering.
With the current annual sales volume, Hardy can make hundreds of millions of dollars from this business.
And this business.
Hardy never roads.
............
After the heads of the various departments reported, Hardy called the Global Times to live with the editor-in-chief of the Japanese newspaper, and said:
"An expert column is set up in the Japanese edition of the Global Times, dedicated to discussing Japan's political, economic, and cultural content, and inviting pro-American experts to criticize Japan's shortcomings, disadvantages, unfreedom, and feudalism."
"The issue of popular elections, the issue of rethinking the war of aggression, the issue of the emperor’s infidelity, the issue of the advancement of women, the issue of people’s welfare, etc., can all be talked about. Be more obedient to the United States from the heart."
Hardy intends to vigorously cultivate Japanese public knowledge.
These people don't really have the skills, and they are the first to speak out.
To put it bluntly, it means to say that the United States is more advanced, more free, and more remarkable. Japan can't do it, but it can't. The very derogatory ability is to suppress the other side from the heart.
The editor knows,
This is to launch a new round of public opinion and psychological warfare against Japan.
"Also, send a few good pens to the barracks to interview MacArthur, the chief of staff, interview the generals of the divisions, and make a special issue of the army introduction, including the resumes of those generals, the configuration of the army, and promote the strength of the rice army. ."
"By the way, notify the stationed reporters on the South Korean side and ask them to conduct similar interviews with the Eighth Army stationed in North Korea."
The editor-in-chief guessed that, by propagating the strength of the US military, making the Japanese more awed and afraid to resist is also part of the cultural oppression.
Maybe everyone would think so.
No one knows that Hardy thinks more. The war may be coming soon. The so-called knowing oneself and the enemy can be targeted. Detailed reports on the commanders and military allocation of the two forces that are going to participate in the future may be useful for certain decisions. Helping effect.
Even if it's just fur, it's better than a black eye.
......
this day.
George Sutherland, Chief of Staff of the Allied Command in Japan, received a call from Hardy and asked him to have a drink and chat.
Before George Sutherland received a telegram from Major General Williams, he told Sutherland that Hardy was his best friend and partner, and wanted to meet friends of the Allied Forces in Japan. Williams introduced Hardy to Hardy. Sutherland.
Hardy is now a big name, a well-known American billionaire, a media tycoon, and a good friend of President Johnson. He has become an emperor in Japan, and has a relationship with the seven major consortia.
Sutherland had long wanted to know such a person, but there was no way out.
It is an honor for Hardy to want to know him. How could he not agree? When he received a call from Hardy, he immediately said: "No, Mr. Hardy, I should invite you. I will arrange a place in Tokyo to invite you to drink."
"Hehe, it's all the same, isn't it?" Hardy said with a smile.
The place where the two met was arranged in a very famous club in Tokyo. It was originally the manor of a wealthy Japanese businessman during the Meiji Restoration period. The building was a traditional Japanese courtyard style, which was later changed to a club.
The long table is full of various Japanese delicacies.
Four women in kimonos sat nearby and waited. Hardy and Sutherland were drinking and chatting.
In front of outsiders, they don't say anything private, they just talk about public topics and know each other.
Both parties are approaching intentionally, and naturally they talk very much.
Hardy sighed: "Actually, a few years ago, I was a soldier under your hand, fighting on the Asian battlefield. In retrospect, time flies."
"Envoy Hardy has managed to reach such a point in just a few years. Now he is a legend in the United States. Many young people follow you as an example." Sutherland complimented.
"I'm just lucky." Hardy smiled.
"I don't believe that luck can make Mr. Hardy what he is now. There are detailed reports on your affairs in the newspapers. Those major decisions are simply amazing."
Full of wine and food,
The two came to the garden for a walk and chat.
Hardy said:
"General Sutherland, I intend to allow the Global Times to conduct in-depth reports on the Allied Command in Japan and to promote the power of the Allied Command. By doing so, it can strengthen the American concept of being powerful and invincible in the hearts of the Japanese. Our future notices are very helpful." Hardy said.
The US military has always carried out political propaganda against Japan. As the chief of staff, Sutherland is responsible for these matters.
"Of course no problem, I fully support it." Sutherland agreed.
This is what the interests of both parties are pursuing together, how could he refuse it.
"I'm going to start with General MacArthur and then the heads of the masters. I hope General Sutherland can help arrange it." Hardy said.
Sutherland hesitated slightly, "It's okay to arrange for the heads of the divisions to be interviewed, but I can't guarantee General MacArthur, you know, sometimes we can't catch the commander-in-chief's temper."
"Hehe, you can help with the communication, if General MacArthur disagrees, then forget it." Hardy said.
MacArthur is still in Osaka.
In fact, since Hardy came to Japan, he and MacArthur have never seen each other, it can be said that the king does not see the king.
When MacArthur received a call from Sutherland and heard that Hardy was going to arrange for him to be interviewed, a smile appeared on his face. Arranging such an interview to promote him and his army should be Hardy showing his favor. .
MacArthur's heart is so strong.
And MacArthur himself is also a person who loves performance. Someone interviewed and promoted himself, and he happened to show off in front of the Japanese again.
"I agree to the interview." MacArthur said.
