A lot of books and newspapers were brought into the office. There were about thirty or forty books in total, all of which were the books Andy requested, including a large number of economics monographs.

Andy read all the books in the prison, including those that were to arrive later. Among them were several economic works, which was his specialty. This time he compiled a large list of books and asked Henry to help purchase them.

You have to know that books of this era, especially professional works, are very expensive, costing dozens of dollars each. This batch of books is really expensive.

As for newspapers, there were two large packages weighing more than ten pounds, including the New York Journal and the Wall Street Journal, and all the newspapers from the past six months were here.

Andy is a bookworm. As long as he has books to read, he doesn't feel the passage of time. He has been out of touch with society for too long and urgently needs to understand the current situation.

In prison, he only knew that World War II broke out and then ended. He had no idea what the current situation of the entire society was like. These newspapers gave him the answers, and after reading half of them, he felt like he had returned to the real world.

In these newspapers, he saw a report about HD Security. In his opinion, HD Security's series of operations were classics, and the owner of that company was called Jon Hardy.

When Andy saw the last name Hardy, he was stunned and a thought flashed through his mind: could this Jon Hardy be the Mr. Hardy who helped him?

September 5th.

Andy was taken to state court.

When he sat in the interrogation area, he felt as if he were in another world. It was in this court that he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Attorney Bob stated the facts.

Present evidence.

After a not-so-intense debate and court investigation, the judge finally read out the verdict.

Andy was acquitted and released in court.

When Andy heard the not guilty verdict, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer. Finally, his innocence was avenged.

Andy walks out of the courtroom.

There were a large number of reporters gathered outside, and when they saw Andy coming out, they were holding a camera and taking pictures frantically.

"Mr. Andy, what do you think of the court's decision? How much impact has your seven years in prison had on your life?"

"Will Mr. Andy sue the judge who sentenced you? How will the court compensate you?"

"Mr. Andy, did you kill your wife? Did you arrange for the thief who surrendered himself to take the blame?"

Henry and his men helped Andy push through the crowd and get into the car, which drove away quickly.

In the car,

Henry asked Andy.

"Mr. Andy, do you have somewhere to go? Should we take you there?"

"I have no home and nowhere to go now, Mr. Henry, can I see Mr. Hardy?" Andy looked at Henry and asked.

Henry smiled and said, "Of course, how about I help you find a hotel so you can take a shower and change clothes?"

"good."

When the car drove into the security station, Andy looked a little dazed. He looked at Henry beside him and said, "Mr. Hardy is Jon Hardy, the boss of HD Security?"

"That's right." Henry said with a smile.

Walking into the office, Hardy stood up with a smile and shook hands with Andy. "Mr. Andy, congratulations on your acquittal."

"I want to thank Mr. Hardy for everything you have done for me. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to clear my name and walk out of Shawshank Prison in my lifetime."

It was Hardy who caught the thief and it was he who asked the thief to surrender himself. When someone in prison wanted to kill him, it was Mr. Hardy who protected him.

He was filled with gratitude towards Hardy.

The two sat down, Hardy poured them a glass of wine, and chatted about other topics, such as prison life.

Finally, Hadi asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Andy shook his head. "I don't know. I've lost my home and my property. I can only find a job and work my way back."

Hardy smiled and said, "I know you understand finance. You used to be a vice president of a bank. Why don't you come and help me? I have several businesses to manage and I need an economic assistant."

Andy didn't hesitate much.

"I would like to work for Mr. Hardy."

Hadi smiled.

Finally, I have a reliable financial advisor.

When he rescued Andy, it was out of love for the movie and Andy's misfortune, and also out of his own selfish motives. If Andy could be his financial advisor, it would be easy to use him.

It’s not that he can’t find other financial assistants, he just thinks it’s more considerate to train one of his own.

Andy doesn't need to interfere with the gang's finances, as he has the former Spanish military strategist Charles Simon. But Simon is enough to handle the gang's small business.

"Take a few days to rest and then come to work," said Hardy.

Andy shook his head. "I don't need a break. I've had enough time off, seven years. I feel a little out of touch with society. I want to get familiar with the world while working."

"If you want."

How can a boss not be happy when his subordinates work hard for him?

Andy was arranged to live in a small villa in a wealthy area, where the environment was quieter and safer. He was also bought a car and given a driver.

Andy officially became Hardy's economic advisor.

Andy spent a week reviewing the financial status of all of Hardy's industries and found many problems.

"Mr. Hardy, your use of funds is very confusing. It involves issues such as unknown sources of funds and large amounts of funds not being reported for tax. You need to sort it out carefully. If the tax bureau finds out, I'm afraid you will be in trouble." Andy said.

"That's why I need to find a good economist to help me." Hardy said with a smile.

Andy nodded. "Don't worry, I will take care of all this for you and ensure that there won't be any problems when the IRS audits your accounts."

Andy said this confidently.

Hadi thought,

I put so much effort into getting Andy out, so I must have made a profit. With an accountant like this to help me sort out my accounts, those guys at the IRS can't do anything to me.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

"Andy, I have a suggestion. My companies will have more and more accounts in the future. I'm afraid you can't handle it all by yourself. I suggest you set up an accounting firm and recruit a group of people. That way you can have an easier time."

"As for the funds, I'll provide them," said Hardy.

Andy thought about it and felt that the boss's suggestion was good. Although the boss did not have much to do now, his business was very diverse, and there would be more and more financial transactions involved in the future. It would indeed be much easier if he had an accounting firm.

That's it.

Andy set up an accounting firm. Hardy invested and became the big boss. Andy held 20% of the shares, and the name was "Andy Accounting Firm".

As for personnel, we will recruit them gradually in the future.

Time enters October.

Little Lori Taylor went to New York to film, the movie "Red Dead Redemption" was nearing completion, the mineral water company was being built, and the auction company was already in operation.

Hardy drove to the auction company.

The front desk staff saw the big boss coming and immediately greeted him with a smile, "Good afternoon, Mr. Hardy."

"Is Ye-jin here?"

"Mr. Han is not here, but Assistant General Manager Irina is in the office." said the receptionist.

Hardy pushed open the office door. Irina looked up and saw that it was Hardy. She immediately smiled, put down the pen in her hand and walked over.

"Dear Chairman, welcome to the company." Irina said and gave Hardy a warm hug.

I have to say, this girl has a great figure, she is thin where she should be thin, and plump where she should be plump.

"I haven't been here for the past few days. Have you received any good goods?" Hardy asked.

"Yes, shall I take you to the storage room?" Irina said.

The two came to the storage room, which was a treasure house specially built by the auction company. It was no less than a small safe, with an area of ​​about 60 square meters. It usually stored some newly received antiques, and when they were in batches, they were transferred to the storage room of the HD Security Company.

The storage room of HD Security has also been upgraded and renovated. Although there are a large number of security personnel guarding it, necessary safety measures are still required.

"Boss, there are more than a dozen oil paintings here. This one is by Rossetti, a famous British painter in the 19th century. This painting cost $4,700."

"This painting is by Giglio Riviera, a Mexican painter who is good at murals and has become somewhat famous."

"These paintings are from a man called Willem de Kooning, and they belong to the category of abstract expressionism. Yejin and I both like his paintings very much, so we bought 12 of them."

"This is a painting by a painter named Pierre Mondrian. The painting world says he is a geometric abstract painter. Haha, can you tell what he is?"

Hardy looked at the horizontal and vertical grids covering the canvas, which looked like tile laying. Unfortunately, he could not appreciate such art.

Hardy didn't know.

The prices of these painters' paintings skyrocketed a few decades later, and each painting could be sold for tens of millions of dollars.

Even though Hardy didn't understand, he never expressed his opinion on the things Han Ye-jin and the others collected. He knew what it meant that everyone has their own expertise and an amateur should not command the experts.

After the auction company was established, Han Ye-jin used her connections to recruit two Western art appraisers and two Chinese antique appraisers.

The two Western art appraisers had previously worked in other auction companies and had extensive experience.

As for the Chinese antique appraisers, they originally opened an antique shop in Chinatown. Even earlier, they once opened a shop in Liulichang during the Republic of China period. The master master is Yuan Yushan, who is over 50 years old this year. The second master is Yuan Yushan's apprentice named Xu Ming, who is also over 30 years old this year. Han Yezhen used her connections in the Tangren Gang to poach them.

There are hundreds of pieces of porcelain on the shelves. These are all Chinese antiques that have been collected recently, including cups, plates, jars, bottles, jades, ancient paintings, gilded Buddha statues, and even bronzes.

Hardy still likes these Chinese antiques.

Irina took Hardy's arm and moved slightly closer to him, touching him twice intentionally or unintentionally while walking. Hardy knew that this girl was definitely doing it on purpose.

"Boss, these dozen European oil paintings cost me 34,000 US dollars, and these Chinese antiques cost me a total of 27,000 US dollars. Now there is no money left in the account. I wonder when you will transfer the money?" Irina asked.

No money again.

Collecting antiques is really expensive.

At first, he gave Han Ye-jin a check for 100,000 NTD, and spent tens of thousands on renting an office building, decorating it, building a storage room, hiring staff, etc.

The remaining money was used to purchase antiques.

Afterwards, Hardy transferred another 100,000 dollars, which was spent in just one month. These two girls really know how to spend money.

"I'll give you another 100,000 tomorrow," said Hardy.

Irina immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, boss." While speaking, she pressed her body hard on Hardy a few times.

The staff loaded the antiques into the truck and sent them to the security company's warehouse. Hadi also said goodbye to Irina and returned to the security company.

After watching the baby go into the warehouse, Hardy came to Andy's office. Now all of Hardy's money was managed by Andy.

"Give the auction company another 100,000 yuan tomorrow."

"Okay, let them come and withdraw the money tomorrow," said Andy.

"How much money is left in the account?"

“Is it legal cash?”

"right."

"After deducting the 100,000 I'll pay to the auction company tomorrow, there will be 243,500 left."

"Oh, there is only so little money left after all the spending. I have to find a way to make money, otherwise the auction house won't be able to sustain it!" Hardy sighed.

He currently has many investment projects in his hands, all of which are still in the investment stage and have no returns at all. I am afraid that it will not be possible to help him recover his funds in the short term.

Andy looked at the boss and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not difficult for you to make money now. You have a gold mine in your hands."

"Oh, what gold mine?"

"It's the Wash Mining Company. I have been studying Wash Mining Company in recent days. Its current stock price is around two or three cents, which is an extremely low price. But it also means that it is relatively easy to operate."

"As long as we do a little operation, we can make a lot of money, and it's all legal," said Andy.

Andy briefly explained his operation.

Hardy is the major shareholder and has absolute control over the company, so he can do whatever he wants.

Hardy suddenly thought of a movie, "The Wolf of Wall Street". Andy's method was more sophisticated and covert than Jordan's.
