Meyer knew how powerful Hardy was. In just two years, Hardy unified the entire Los Angeles underground world.

HD security. Even the Los Angeles Police Department does not have strong HD security capabilities.

The industries Hardy owns give him enough financial strength to support anything he wants to do.

Whether it was a head-on confrontation or using dirty tricks, Meyer found that he could not defeat the opponent, and this was what scared him the most.

The two of them held the phone in silence for a full minute.

Hardy said, "Mr. Mayer, we have always had a very pleasant cooperation. I hope we will always be allies and create benefits together. In fact, we can work together to make the pie bigger. MGM does not have to focus only on the film industry."

"What do you suggest?" Mayer asked.

"Next month my Hardy's Hotel will open. I believe Las Vegas will rise. There is a gold mine there that can be mined forever. If we all build it together, the gold mine will grow bigger and bigger."

"If MGM wants to open a casino in Las Vegas, maybe I can help, and we can invest together."

Hardy threw out a big bait.

Mayer knew that Hardy had already established himself in Las Vegas, and whoever wanted to enter Las Vegas in the future would definitely have to deal with Hardy.

Many people were eyeing the gambling industry in Las Vegas, but it had always been under the control of the Mafia, and even other big families could not get involved, let alone Mayer.

If he could build an MGM casino, he believed he would make a lot of money in the future, and Mayer was suddenly excited.

"Hardy are you serious?"

"Of course, it's not just MGM. I hope to bring more capital into Las Vegas so that we can build Las Vegas together and make it prosper quickly." Hardy expressed his attitude.

Meyer finally knew what cake Hardy was talking about.

Las Vegas is indeed an extremely sweet cake. If Hardy can attract more big families and big capital to enter, Hardy's power will definitely grow further.

Meyer realized that now was definitely the best time to get on board.

A few days ago he wanted to buy shares of ABC, but subsequent developments made him regret it. Now he doesn't want to regret it again.

"Hadi, I agree to your terms."

"MGM has no problem opening up its film library to ABC. We can discuss the cost later. There is no problem producing programs."

"The shares of the Los Angeles Times will be sold to you at the stock price."

"I will fully support you in this year's election for the president of the Screen Actors Guild."

When it comes to interests, any loyal subordinate can be abandoned.

Hardy was very happy to hear Mayer's agreement, and his plan took a big step forward.

"As for the 20% stake in ABC TV, I offer 12 million." Mayer began to bargain.

"No, no, at least 18 million. You should know the value of ABC in your heart. Just look at how much ABC can earn every year from a single TV shopping. The cooperation between MGM and ABC is definitely a lucrative business." Hardy said.

The two of them haggled over the price for a long time, and finally agreed on 14.5 million.

Hardy originally bought ABC for 12 million, and now he has earned 14.5 million by selling 20% ​​of the shares. Mayer can only admire Hardy's good tactics.

The alliance with MGM will also be of great benefit to ABC, as it will never have to worry about a lack of programs in the future.

And Hardy got a few conditions.

Los Angeles Times Stakes, Screen Actors Guild President.

This business is definitely profitable.

"Hardy, after the deal is completed, I will invite a few friends to study the construction of a casino. How much shares do you want?" Meyer knew that Hardy would definitely participate in the new casino business, and they had to pull him along to gain a foothold in Las Vegas.

"I want 40%." said Hardy.

"No way. 40% is too much. I will find a few friends who are really powerful. I can't reserve that much for you after the shares are divided. At most 20%."

When people have no strength.

The study is about how to achieve fullness and satiety.

When people have strength,

The study is about how to divide the world.

Although Hardy and Mayer have reached an agreement, Mayer still needs to discuss with other members of the board of directors, and the transaction can only be carried out with the approval of the board of directors.

After all, the funds involved are in the tens of millions.

In addition, the rest of the board of directors needs to approve whether MGM is willing to give up its stake in the Los Angeles Times.

......

The evening program on ABC TV is still exciting. The animation is "Ultraman", in which Ultraman Hardy kills a super monster.

The film and television theater is the new American version of "My Fair Wife".

The next day.

On the third day of TV shopping, TVs were sold directly. The Meibao TV factory has now entered full trial production and can produce 1,000 14-inch and 17-inch black-and-white TVs every day.

Hardy sells it directly on TV shopping.

It’s not about how much it sells, it’s just for advertising.

Our main sales force in the future will still be in cooperation with banks and selling interest-free loans.

The discounts on televisions are not as big as those on motorcycles. The original price of a 14-inch TV is US$127, and the maximum discount is US$108. The original price of a 17-inch TV is US$169, and the discount is US$142.

Even so, more than a thousand televisions were sold that day.

One week later.

The Los Angeles Times conducted a questionnaire survey in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York to investigate the ratings of three television stations.

The statistical results came out two days later.

The results were stunning.

Originally, NBC and CBS were the two broadcasting companies that shared the show, but in just one week, the survey results show that people now prefer to watch ABC programs.

ABC's viewership reached a terrifying 68%.

As for people's favorite programs, the top few are all from ABC TV. The first one is "Bewitched", the second one is "TV Shopping", the third one is "The Tonight Show with Elaine", the fourth one is "Colorful Cartoons", and the fifth one is "Andy Economic Forum".

NBC and CBS programs only appear from the sixth place onwards.

The survey also showed that 85% of the audience would watch the TV series when "Bewitched" was broadcast.

The drama "My Fair Wife" is really popular now.

People watch the show four episodes a week. The actors and actresses who originally starred in the show were all unknown, but now they have suddenly become household names.

abc was a huge success.

Hardy was planning to celebrate. Since he got the Siegel Manor, there had never been a party here. It was a waste of such a good place.

Notify all the people at abc tv to hold a party at the manor so people can celebrate and relax.

The party was very lively.

People were singing and dancing and relaxing, and Hardy drank quite a bit of wine.

They played until one in the morning. The HD security personnel were responsible for sending the drunk people home. Hardy smiled and waved goodbye to the others.

Wait until everyone disperses.

Irina came to Hadi and said, "Boss, I have something to report to you."

"What's going on?"

"Someone came to me and wanted to recruit me to other radio companies. They said that if I went there, they would give me better conditions than now," said Irina.

"NBC or CBS?"

"It was NBC that contacted me, but people from CBS also contacted other people in the company," said Irina.

Hardy frowned slightly.

ABC has only been in operation for a week and already some people are trying to undermine it.

"Did they find many people?"

"Yes, they approached many people in the company, including news anchors, several TV shopping anchors, and even the leading actors and actresses of "Bewitched". They offered generous conditions to poach them."

"Not only them, I heard that even the TV station staff are being looked for, including editors and directors, copywriters, lighting and stage designers, and camera props. I think these people are not trying to poach people, but more like causing trouble, making people in our company feel uneasy." Irina said unhappily.

Hardy smiled coldly, "They are just making trouble. They see that we are doing well and stealing their ratings, so they come here to play tricks."

"Boss, this matter cannot be taken lightly. What if someone is really interested? The staff is easy to deal with and can be found at any time, but if the male and female protagonists of "The Fairy Wife" are poached by them, our loss will be huge." Irina reminded quickly.

Seeing Irina so nervous, Hadi thought that this little secretary was quite dedicated and laughed, "All the hosts and artists of the company have signed contracts with the agency. They are all 10-year contracts."

"They all have high breach of contract fees. Do you know how much the breach of contract fees of the male and female protagonists of My Fair Wife are?"

"How much?" Irina asked curiously.

"10 million." said Hardy.

Irina opened her mouth in surprise. "With such a high penalty, it would be more cost-effective for those companies that poach employees to train one themselves."

Hardy continued: "Moreover, the contract also stipulates that even if I leave ABC, I cannot engage in any related industries or performances within five years. Otherwise, I will face a high penalty for breach of contract and the show will be suspended."

"Do you think those companies would do something that would be unprofitable, haha."

Irina blinked.

"Boss, I'm also a host in the company, but I don't think I've signed such a contract. Am I not as good as them?"

Hardy looked at the French girl and smiled.

He leaned close to the girl and whispered in her ear, "You know so many of my secrets. Do you think I will let you leave?"

"If you want to leave me, it's not about money."

The French girl's eyes widened.

If I leave my boss, I guess he will kill me to silence me.

So scary!

Just then Hardy staggered.

He drank a little too much today, and when he came out, the wind blew his head and made him feel dizzy and his legs were a little shaky.

Irina quickly grabbed and supported her boss.

"Boss, are you drunk? I'll take you upstairs." Irina helped the shaky Hardy upstairs.

The butler saw this scene in the side hall, but did not send anyone up to help Hardy.

It was difficult to get to the second floor.

Irina helped Hadi to the bedroom.

Walking to the big bed, Irina's feet went soft and they both rolled onto the bed, Hardy lying underneath and Irina lying on the man's chest.

The two looked at each other.

Irina's chest was pounding.

Their lips collided.

The constraints soon disappeared.

When love is deep, peach blossoms fall.

Hadi discovered that Irina was still a pure girl.

But she didn't shy away.

Radiate 100% enthusiasm.

......

"Boss, is every Barbie doll your princess?"

"Yes."

"Boss, please don't kill people to silence them, okay?"

"As long as you don't betray me or leave me, that will never happen."

"Boss, I've known for a long time that you're a bad guy!"

"In this world, only evil people can live happily."

“Oh~~~”
