The 1960s was the era of large-scale industry. Hardy had already deployed in mining, petroleum and other industries in advance, as well as in the metallurgical industry, but instead of taking the route of ore smelting, it was recycling and smelting scrap metals.
As early as the early 1950s, Hardy played chess pieces in the urban garbage recycling industry, not only to involve Bill, but also to invite other Mafia families to do this business together. There is no better way to do waste recycling than the Mafia.
Don't look down on the tattered ones,
Scrap collection is a very lucrative business.
In the United States,
You have to pay for throwing away the garbage. The garbage is taken back and sorted. Plastic can be recycled, metal can be recycled, and paper can be recycled.
Money is everywhere.
So in the mid-1950s, Hardy sent someone to buy several small smelting companies and smelt them with recycled scrap metal.
This business is more profitable from the start.
And Hardy also knows that in the previous life, after the era of big industry, large American steel companies went bankrupt, including dominant companies like Carnegie United Steel, but steel plants that smelt scrap metals can always make money.
In the later generations of the United States, 70% of steel was recovered from scrap metal smelting.
......
After Nicholas came to power.
Hardy is more like a fish in water.
Whether it is the United States, or the industries in the United Kingdom, Japan, Hong Kong, Cayman, and Penang, they have all been rapidly improved.
There is no obstacle at all.
During this time,
Hardy did a lot of things,
A private university was established in the United States, and its name was ‘Hardy’s University’. The name was not a sorrow, but a convention.
For example, Harvard University, whose name comes from ‘John Harvard’, and Stanford University, whose name comes from former California governor and railroad magnate Henryland Stanford and his wife.
Hardy established the university and named Hardy University absolutely nothing wrong.
Hardy established this university with a very clear purpose. One is to establish a prestigious university of his own in the United States, and the other is to use Hardy University to reach a better cooperative relationship with universities in Penang Dominion, Singapore, and even Hong Kong. .
In order to improve the teaching ability over there.
Hardy University is located in Los Angeles, and spent a lot of money on the outskirts of Los Angeles to purchase a piece of land covering an area of 8,000 acres, which includes two small lakes and a river, and the natural environment is very good.
The nature of Hardy University is a non-profit private university, so that the government will not collect taxes. Of course, shareholders should not even want to make a penny at the university.
Almost all prestigious universities in the United States are non-profit private universities.
So at the beginning of the school, Hardy invited many people to invest. Hardy has always been very good at spending other people's money on his own affairs.
Investors are also good. In the future, if their children want to enter the Hardy University study club, it will be much more convenient, and the school manager can directly send an invitation letter.
Yale, Harvard, and New York University are no exception.
This is also the reason why many people donate money to prestigious schools because they want to cram their children in.
The main directions of Hardy University are economics, law, sociology, medicine, pharmacology, life sciences, electronic information engineering, computers, communications and media.
While cultivating talents for the society, it can also train talents for Hardy Group itself.
After the university is built,
Hardy has tried every means to hire many well-known professors, scholars, and teachers to attract a large number of students and international students. After several years of development, Hardy University has established a scale.
These few years,
All of Hardy's industries are developing rapidly.
By the end of the 1960s, someone estimated that Hardy’s industry might have reached the terrifying value of US$50 billion.
Hardy's industry covers dozens of countries and regions throughout the United States and even the world.
......
In 1968.
The new U.S. presidential election opens.
The candidate of the Democratic Party is Mike Corleone. After more than ten years of whitewashing, the Corleone family has completely become a political family.
Even the previous Italian mafia families, all under Hardy’s leadership, turned their heads to start a legitimate business, and slowly abandoned some underworld businesses.
In fact, as long as the underworld does not rob, kill, or oppress the people, businessmen do not care at all. Even if it is drug trafficking, it is not business.
There are so many businesses in the world, and when it is done, the right way business is definitely more profitable than the underworld business. Hardy has led them to transform. Now the Italian mafia has become more secretive, and many have even become groups and companies.
Mike Corleone’s rival is a Republican candidate named Rudolph Ford, and the supporters behind Ford are the Rockefeller family and other forces.
From the beginning,
The two started a fierce competition.
At the same time, large-scale publicity activities were carried out. Every day, the newspapers could see the reports of the two candidates. Every time they went to a city, they would give speeches. Now the television industry is becoming more and more developed, and it can be broadcast live.
......
Hardy and the Rockefeller family helms are sitting together drinking tea and chatting, chatting about the future economic trend of the United States.
Regarding the presidential election, who the two sides support does not affect their friendship. They are the fathers of the funders. No matter who comes to power, they are the spokespersons of their interests. It is just a matter of how much the cake is.
During Nicholson’s reign,
Other large families, including the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, also have agents in the cabinet.
In this world, no one can eat alone.
If you are too independent and selfish, you will definitely not end well, and you will be attacked by groups.
So although they all put out agents, it doesn't affect their relationship. No matter who comes on stage, they can divide a part of their interests.
......
During the election campaign, a major event happened in the United States, that is, the head of American intelligence, the head of American intelligence, and the FBI director Edgar Hoover, who had frightened countless people, died in his own home.
After testing, the cause of death was myocardial infarction.
in history,
Hoover will die several years later than this world. As for the real cause of his death, no one knows.
After reading the report in the newspaper, Hardy closed it silently.
This Hoover rose to power during the Roosevelt era, and then slowly covered the sky with one hand. Relying on mastering the secrets of the president, congressmen, officials, and wealthy businessmen, no one dared to provoke him.
Hoover did not move during Johnson's time.
Eisenhower failed to move Hoover.
During the Nicholas era, Hoover was still in a solid position.
And this time.
Hardy was about to kill him.
Because Henry learned that Hoover and Mike's opponents had formed an alliance through the people who were placed next to Hoover, and he was ready to report Mike's ill-information.
Although McCorleon himself has no problems, he is from a gangster family after all. The current Italian mafia has not been exposed to the public's vision. By the 70s, a major member of the mafia family was arrested and shaken out of the mafia. The thing that made the whole world know the Mafia.
If Hoover breaks out of Mike's situation, Mike's competitors will inevitably make a fuss and embarrass Mike.
I was in peace before,
Hardy never paid attention to Hoover, and now Hardy decided to take action.
Since the 1950s, during Johnson's time, Hardy saw Hoover for the first time in the White House, and arranged for Henry to intervene to investigate things about Hoover.
More than ten years have passed in a flash.
According to Henry, the staff he has placed are now in a high position in the FBI.
Henry had reported before, and Hoover had sent people to investigate Hardy's situation. Of course, many of them were destroyed by Henry.
Henry vs. Hoover.
The collision of two intelligence chiefs,
Regardless of the fact that the FBI appears to be very powerful to outsiders, Hoover may not have worked in Hardy's intelligence organization. Hardy has invested very heavily in intelligence organizations.
Hoover is in the office,
A drug was dropped in the water glass.
This drug is very hidden, specially made, extremely difficult to find, and it is not a toxin. It will only cause changes in the heart rate, and it will not occur at the time.
And the person who performed the autopsy on Hoover was also in charge of the senior management placed by Henry.
After Hoover’s death, Gu
Another major incident occurred within the FBI. The second person of the FBI, deputy director Clyde Tolson, was investigated. Who was Tolson? He was once Hoover’s assistant, and later became the department head and deputy director. He was inside the FBI. People whose rights are second only to Hoover.
And his other identity is the man behind Hoover.
Historically, after Hoover's death, Tolson took over as the director. In this life, this kind of thing would never happen, and he was taken away directly for investigation.
The reason for the investigation was embezzlement of investigative bureau funds.
In fact, the real reason is because he holds the secret files in Hoover's hands. Why Hoover can stand up and make so many people afraid of him is because Hoover used the FBI's investigative functions to investigate the privacy of the president and senior officials. Come to blackmail them.
Whoever dares to move him will be retaliated against by Bi Ran. It is very likely that Hoover will not go down, but the President may step down in despair.
Now that Hoover is dead, these inheritances are left to Tolson, how could Hardy make him bigger.
The person who captured Thorson was named George Hans, who was also the deputy director of the Bureau of Investigation. The Bureau of Investigation has 8 deputy directors who manage more than a dozen departments. Before George Hans was in charge of the FBI's internal investigation committee, he did not have much real power. .
Tolson was very annoyed that George Hans caught himself. He originally wanted to struggle, but how could George Hans give him a chance to take out the evidence he had prepared and shoot directly in front of Tolson.
To know,
Henry has been staring at each other for more than ten years, and the evidence is sufficient and impeccable.
"You must let me go, otherwise many people will suffer, I promise." Tolson looked at Hans.
Hans smiled and leaned close to Tolson's ear and whispered: "Are you talking about the information hidden in the vault of the villa in the suburbs?"
Tolson was taken aback and looked at Hans incredulously.
He never expected that the other party even knew those things.
Now his amulet is gone.
Before long, Tolson committed suicide in prison. As for the information, he was missing. After all, very few people knew about it.
Five days after Hoover's death, Nicholson appointed George Hans as the new FBI director, and people outside the FBI had no idea about the struggle within the FBI.
George Hans is the person Henry inserted in the FBI, which means he is Hardy's person.
......
As the election day approaches.
People are looking forward to the new president.
Las Vegas naturally opened the handicap again. This time, the outside publicity that the two candidates are basically evenly matched, but in the eyes of many people, Mike Corleone still has the upper hand, so Mike has the lowest odds on the handicap.
The gaming industry in the United States,
After so many years of hard work by Hardy, more than 30 states have now released lottery tickets, and handicap is also part of the lottery.
After the people bought the lottery tickets, they paid more attention to the election.
In this general election,
Ready to broadcast the whole process.
Now that it has entered the color TV era, ABC TV is the first TV station to launch TV programs. Under Hardy’s deliberate guidance, American TV programs have become richer and become the most common entertainment method for the American people.
ABC TV station now has 5 channels.
In early November 1968.
Today is the day of voting.
ABC TV station occupies a channel and set up a live broadcast room to broadcast live broadcasts of the results of each state. The signals from each state will be sent over. The audience in the United States can know the results as soon as possible. There is a group of guests in the live broadcast room, constantly analyzing.
The results come out state by state.
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room is getting more and more enthusiastic.
With the announcement of the verdict on the last few continents, the election that lasted more than 20 hours finally came to an end. The final result was that Mike Corleone defeated his opponent by a fairly good advantage and became the next president.
......
New York.
Corleone Manor.
When the election results were announced on TV, everyone in the Corleone family cheered excitedly. Mike jumped to Hardy and hugged Hardy firmly.
"Hadi, we succeeded, thank you." Mike hugged Hardy and said.
"Don't say thank you, you forgot what we are?" Hardy said.
"brother."
Mike grabbed Hardy's hand hard.
Mike’s wife and children also came to congratulate Dad. Mike has three children. The eldest son Anthony is 20 years old this year and is still in college. He is Hardy’s godson. His daughter Jane is 17 years old and looks very beautiful. The youngest son Jon 14 age.
Mike and Hardy came to the study.
Mike specially asked the eldest son to come in,
Anthony came in and shouted respectfully to Hardy, his godfather, and looked at Mike: "Father, what do you want me to do when you ask me to come in?"
"Now that the election results are coming out, you must pay more attention to your words and deeds in the future. You are still in college, especially in school. I don't want you to behave differently from others."
Anthony nodded, "I know my father, I will not swell, let alone arrogant."
"Well, go out and talk to Jane and Jon." Mike said.
"Good father, father, godfather, I'm out." Anthony walked away politely.
When Anthony went out, Hardy said to Mike: "Anthony was well educated by you, and I hope to continue to make the Corleone family brilliant."
"I hope so, where's your little ones?" Mike handed Hardy a cigar.
Hardy thought of his group of children and smiled, "They are all very nice and lively. Everyone has their own hobbies and hobbies. My expectation of them is free development."
Mike smiled, "Following a father like you is the luck of those 14 children."
"No, 15 of them."
Mike was taken aback.
"Another one?!"
"Well, a few months ago there was another little son, haha." Hardy said with a smile.
Mike was speechless and could only admire.
Then the two talked about other things. They talked a lot about the candidates for the cabinet, the various forces, how to govern in the future, the direction of the US economy, the foreign policy of international relations and so on.
When talking about international relations, the Soviet Union is naturally the focus that cannot be circumvented.
Hardy said: "In the past few years, Nicholas has many ideas about the Soviet Union. In fact, about them, the eastern countries next to them are a good breakthrough Now the relationship between them is not good. There are many differences and even confrontations. In the past few years, Nicholas has established communication channels through several countries. After you take office, you can do more in this regard."
"Our first goal is the Soviet Union. The enemy's enemy is our friend. We have a lot of bargaining chips. They are not yet members of the United Nations, and they can even become permanent members."
"Establish diplomatic relations."
"We can also carry out technical cooperation, including weapons and equipment, production technology, and electronic technology, and invest and build factories in their country."
There was also a honeymoon period between China and the United States that year.
Hardy's proposal was only a few years ahead of schedule.
......
February 1969.
Mike swore an oath on Capitol Hill to become the new president of the United States. In this life, there will be no Watergate incident and Hardy will not let that happen. After the smooth handover of Nicholson and Mike, he retreats behind the scenes.
Not long after,
Nicosson became the honorary president of Hardy University and used his status to increase the popularity of Hardy University. Nicholsson can receive a generous bonus from the Hardy Group every year, as well as various benefits provided by the group.
Mike enters the White House.
The cabinet members have been determined.
Andy once again entered the cabinet list and became the Secretary of State of the United States. It is not surprising that many people were appointed.
George Hans was again appointed as FBI Director.
As for the other candidates,
It encompasses many forces.
Later, Dr. Ji, known as the ‘old friend of the Chinese’, became the assistant to the president for security affairs and concurrently served as the director of the National Security Council.
He is a man introduced by the Rockefeller family.
Just two months after Mike became president,
Dr. Key travels secretly.
