Siegel poured Hardy a glass of red wine and walked slowly in the hall with a glass of wine in his hand.

"I had a complete plan and my own ideas. I believed I could succeed. The only thing I did wrong was to cooperate with those bastards."

Siegel became more and more excited as he spoke, and said angrily:

"They suspect me of corruption, Shet. I am not corrupt at all. What I want to build is a palace, a city, a future."

"Those bastards kept calling me, telling me to hurry up, because I had a lot of stuff to do, but they couldn't wait to make money."

Siegel turned and looked at Hardy.

"Flamingo is preparing to officially open next month. You know that a casino requires a large amount of start-up capital to operate. I asked them for money, but they refused all of it, not even a cent. They said I had spent enough and I could figure out the rest myself."

"I must fulfill my dream. How can they stump me? Haha, I still have assets. Do you really think I'm at the end of my rope, Hardy? I heard that the movie produced by your film company received very good response?"

Siegel suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Yes, the word of mouth and box office are good. Mayer expects it to reach around 7 million and the company can earn 2 million." Hardy said.

Siegel nodded.

"You are better than me in this respect. I set up a film company, but not only does it not make any money, it also has to lose money every year. Hardy, are you interested in taking over Noah's Ark Films?" Siegel asked.

Hardy was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that Siegel would actually sell the film company to me.

This shows that they are ready to sell everything they have to build the casino.

After Siegel finished speaking, he looked around the house again. He had lived here for seven or eight years and liked this house very much. This house also witnessed his love with Virginia.

"And I'll sell you this house together. How about one million for the two items together?" Siegel looked at Hardy and said.

Even the house has to be sold!

It seems that Siegel is really ready to burn his boats.

Hardy thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Siegel, I can borrow some money from the bank. I'll lend it to you first."

In fact, Hardy was grateful to Siegel, the person who helped him, so what was wrong with lending him 1 million?

Siegel just laughed.

"Haha, thank you, Hadi. You are the first person who has offered to lend me money in these days. I also let you buy 18% of the shares for 1.5 million. The price was indeed a bit expensive, but I can feel that it was your kindness."

"No need for that this time. When the casino opens, I will be living in Las Vegas. I won't be able to take care of the movie company's business. It's also far away from Hollywood. It's better to sell it. The same goes for this house. I will live in Las Vegas. It's a waste to leave this house here."

Hardy thought about it.

"Okay, let's do as you say." said Hardy.

Siegel smiled.

"Hadi, I told you at the beginning that when the Las Vegas casino was built, I would take you to Las Vegas to develop and become the boss there, but later you developed too fast and you even disappeared behind the scenes."

"I plan to let Fred lead the team over this time. Do you have any objection?" Siegel asked.

Hadi smiled.

"Of course I don't mind."

"The Los Angeles Jewish Gang territory is now in the hands of military advisor Allen Payne. Things are already on track here, and he can handle small matters. Fred and I will be back at any time for major matters."

Hardy bids farewell to Siegel.

Go back and ask Andy to prepare the money.

He now only has more than one million in cash, which Hardy asked Andy to borrow from the bank after the last surge in the stock price of Wash Mining.

This time my hands are empty again.

However, he also got Noah's Film Company and a mansion in Beverly Hills. Not to mention the value of the film company, just the mansion, it covers an area of ​​4 acres. This is Beverly Hills. If it was sold until 2000, this mansion could be sold for over 100 million US dollars.

The next day,

Both parties signed the agreement.

Siegel took the check and returned to Las Vegas to continue fulfilling his dream.

Hardy doesn't know whether Siegel will be assassinated in this life. Now the plot has changed a lot. He has Fred and a group of Jewish gang elites by his side. I hope that won't happen, right?

Hardy brought Edward to Noah's Ark Films and called a meeting of all the senior executives. People were a little puzzled as to why Hardy's assistant became the convener.

Cohen was even more surprised. When he saw Hardy in the meeting room, he asked in a questioning tone, "Assistant Hardy, why didn't you notify me in advance when you called a meeting with the company's top executives?"

Cohen's meaning was very clear. He was the general manager of the company. Even if you were the assistant to the chairman, you had no right to mess around in the company.

Edward took out the folder and opened it, smiling and saying, "Now I have an official announcement. Mr. Siegel has sold all of Noah's Ark Films to Mr. Hardy. From today on, Mr. Hardy becomes the sole owner of Noah's Ark Films."

People in the conference room were shocked. Just like that, they got a new boss.

But think about Hardy's situation. Although he is the assistant to the chairman, he also has many other industries, such as the famous HD security. The most popular movie in theaters recently, "The Wild One", was produced by HD Pictures.

Hardy stood up and said loudly, "I have been in Noah for more than half a year. I am familiar with the situation here. I think it is time for Noah to make some changes."

"I would like to announce that Noah will merge with HD Films to form a company called HD Films. From now on, the general manager of HD Films will be Edward, and Edward will make arrangements for the other department personnel."

"There will also be some adjustments within the company. For example, the agency department and the song department may be separated to form independent agency companies and music companies. Edward will talk to you about the details at the work meeting."

"In short, I hope that HD Pictures can become a film company like the eight major Hollywood film companies, producing high-quality films, bringing out our own superstars, and having distribution capabilities that can cover the entire United States and even the world."

Listening to Hardy's bold words, many people in the conference room became excited, thinking that perhaps it was time for them to show their talents.

Cohen was silent. He knew that this place was no longer suitable for him. After the meeting, he found Hardy and handed him his resignation letter, who signed it readily.

The end of an era.

Some people will inevitably disappear.

Besides, Cohen had never done a good job in the first place, and there had been a lot of dissatisfaction with him within the company. He was largely responsible for the fact that Noah had not made any progress over the years.

HD Films previously only rented a very small office space, but now all the employees have moved to Noah’s office.

Noah's family background is actually quite solid. He has his own company headquarters, office building, all the departments of a film and television company, and all the qualifications. This is already better than 99% of the film companies in Hollywood.

However, in order to realize Hardy's bold words, a lot of money needs to be invested. Hardy sighed again.

Short of money!

Back at the security company, Hardy saw Andy and asked, "Andy, am I out of money again?"

Andy smiled and said, "Not having enough money to spend is the norm for bosses. No investor lives with a pile of cash. They all live with debt."

"But now we are short of money again. Without money, many things can only develop slowly. Andy, think of a way to make money quickly." Hardy said.

"Then let's invest in stocks." Andy thought about it.

"Are you dealing with stocks from Wash Mining? Are you trying to reap the profits again?" Hardy asked.

Andy shook his head.

"I think Wash Mining is a high-quality industry that can have great development in the future. We have already done it once before. If the stock price of a stock fluctuates frequently and significantly, it will definitely attract the attention of regulatory authorities."

"So what do you think?"

"There are actually quite a few stocks like the original Wash Mining in the stock market, which are worth a few cents or dimes. They are all junk stocks, with no income and no prospects. No one is willing to invest in them, and they will be delisted after a long time."

"There are two ways to make money with them. One is to manipulate the stock price to surge and then take profits at high levels. This method is quick and easy and many financial companies do this."

"Another way is to acquire those junk companies, repackage them, and release good news to drive up the stock price."

"The second method will progress a little slower, but it is more stable and has no consequences. Even if the CSRC comes to investigate, it will not find any problems."

"Wouldn't other financial companies use such a simple method?" Hardy asked.

"Of course they do it, and a lot. In fact, all over Wall Street, there are people doing it all the time, but they just don't let outsiders see it." Andy said with a smile.

"There is a saying in the financial circle, 'The real way to make money is to transfer money from other people's pockets to your own pocket.'"

"The financial world has never been a place to make money for others, but a place to make money for yourself. If you want to play in the stock market, you have to be the banker."

"The victory of the war is very beneficial to the future development of the United States. The stock market is performing very strongly. Now the US stock market is in a bull market. Many people are eager to invest and make money. If we package those junk stocks well, they will definitely be easy to sell."

Hardy knew that this was a way to cheat people.

However,

He doesn't care.

What's more, it's the Americans who are being cheated.

"Andy, I think this is a great idea, let's do it!" Hardy made the final decision.

Andy smiled, he knew Hardy would not miss this opportunity.

"First, we need to select a group of companies that are suitable for operation, recruit a group of operators, and then preferably set up a financial company, so that the capital inflow and outflow will be more convenient for operation."

"I'll do whatever you say. I'll use the 2 million I borrowed for Red Dead Redemption to give you one million first," said Hardy.

"What about the cooperation with MGM?"

"It's okay. I'll talk to Mayer and see if I can get him to provide funding. If not, at worst we can just shoot one movie first and release it in the theaters. We'll talk about Singin' in the Rain next year," said Hardy.

Andy took out a stack of information from the drawer. "These are stock market data. Let's pick the appropriate ones."

The two also have criteria for selection. They must be local companies in Los Angeles so that they can make arrangements easily. They must also be small or micro-cap stocks with low stock prices, small market capitalization, and easy to operate.
