The war in the Middle East was in full swing and Israel was in danger. Hadi started trading in arms. The biggest advantage of the "Post-War Supplies Sales Company" over other arms dealers was that it had enough spot goods and they were cheap enough.

Moreover, World War II has just ended. To be honest, the supplies and weapons they have are not behind at all. They are exactly what Israel needs most.

When the war broke out, Israel found that it lacked everything. They even didn't have a regular national defense force. Beach contacted the people who bought the freighters. What they needed most was these supplies, so they immediately ordered a large quantity of them.

"Boss, they have ordered goods worth 35.87 million US dollars in total." Beach reported to Hardy excitedly.

Hadi knew that these were not many and could not meet Israel's war needs. "Beech, hold on to this line. I believe they will need more weapons. This is a long-term big customer."

"I understand Mr. Hardy," Beach responded.

......

The mediation of the Security Council did not have much effect at the beginning and is still in the stage of wrangling among multiple parties.

The war continues.

After several weeks of fighting, the Israeli army suffered heavy casualties and ordered the conscription of 17-year-old young men and women and 36-38-year-old men and women for service. According to later records, there was no training at all. They were directly issued guns upon arrival and sent directly to the battlefield after a lecture.

Older people are responsible for logistical work such as building fortifications and transporting supplies.

War is always cruel.

By June 11, most of Israel's major cities fell into the hands of the Arab coalition. It seemed that the Israelis were about to be driven into the Mediterranean Sea. At this time, the United States took action. The United Nations passed a "four-week ceasefire plan" requiring both the Arab and Israeli sides to cease fire for four weeks.

Interestingly, the Arab coalition, which had an absolute advantage, believed that Israel was powerless and actually agreed to the agreement.

But they didn't know that during these few weeks of respite, Israel had shipped a large number of weapons from the United States and other countries. More importantly, Israel had unified the guerrillas scattered across the country and formed a regular national defense force.

Another very important point is that many American Jewish veterans who had participated in World War II came to Israel to join the army. There were as many as tens of thousands of them. These people had participated in World War II and received formal training. There were even many officers among them.

With the addition of these people, the combat effectiveness of the Israel Defense Forces increased sharply, and it also surpassed the Arab coalition in terms of numbers.

On July 9, the four-week ceasefire ended, and Israel took the initiative and used armored troops to attack the central front of the UAE. The latter did not expect the Israeli army to launch such a massive offensive, and was caught off guard and cut off by the Israeli army, falling directly into chaos.

The Israeli army took advantage of the victory and seized more than 1,000 square kilometers of land in ten days.

......

Hardy saw the reports.

He knows,

There must be American troops among the Israeli commanders.

With the full support of the United States, Israel has turned the situation around and preserved its newly established country.

But Hardy knew that this was just the beginning. From now until Hardy crossed over, the war in this place would stop at every moment.

Hardy suddenly had a strange idea.

Is it really good for Americans to support the establishment of Israel?

It's still a super conspiracy.

The Jews have been drawn into the vortex of the Middle East. Israel has never had peace for decades and has always been in war. Is this really lucky?

Are there other forces plotting against the Jews, using the founding of the nation as bait to lure them into this vortex, swallowing up money on the one hand and controlling the Jews on the other? You have to know that in the United States, the Jews are not the only dominant force?

Life is like tea, only you know the sweetness and bitterness.

Maybe they know, but are willing to take this risk.

Because that is the ideal and belief they pursue throughout their lives.

No matter what others do, Hadi has gained his own benefits in this Middle East war.

Selling freighters, a small profit of less than 50 million.

Sell ​​weapons and make a small profit.

Another factor is the investment in Johnson. If Johnson is successful, Hadi is only one factor. The bigger factor must be the Jews' unreserved support for Johnson to help Israel. Therefore, the Middle East War also directly led to Hadi's investment in Johnson.

With the successful investment in Johnson, Hardy Group will surely usher in an extremely favorable period of development in the future.

The think tank of the Hadi Group has been established. A few days ago, Hadi convened several think tanks and asked them to analyze the benefits to the Hadi Group if President Johnson was re-elected. Afterwards, the think tank issued a report.

After reading the report, Hardy couldn't help but sigh that think tanks are think tanks. Although they don't have the foresight to see through the future, they have rich knowledge and broad insights, and they are very adept at utilizing resources.

They shared their ideas for the future with Hadi, and the two sides complemented each other, and Hadi felt more clear about the path to take in the future.

......

Wells Fargo's investment banking division was up and running.

Other economic experts rely on experience and judgment to decide which company to invest in or which new company to invest in, but Hardy has a vision for the future and knows which industries will rise in the future. He even knows some now unknown companies that will soar into the sky in the future. If you seize the opportunity to invest in them, you will make thousands or even tens of thousands of times the profit in the future.

The industries with the best profit growth after World War II are oil, military industry, medicine, daily necessities and food. As long as you invest in these areas, you will definitely make a profit.

Hardy wrote some names on a list and prepared for investment companies to buy shares in these companies.

Mercy Pharmaceuticals.

A member of the California consortium and an old friend of Hardy, they also had a cooperative relationship and jointly built a penicillin production line in Hong Kong.

This company later became one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the United States and was definitely worth investing in. Hardy decided to go back and talk to David Mercy, the owner of Mercy Pharmaceuticals, to see if he could acquire some shares, not for control of the company, but only for investment.

Pfizer, a future pharmaceutical giant, needs no detailed introduction. The little blue pill made its name known to the world and earned countless real money. It is definitely worth investing in.

Johnson & Johnson is the world's largest healthcare and consumer care products company, with businesses covering pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and care products.

Procter & Gamble, Head & Shoulders and others are indispensable, and they are the future major daily necessities companies. Now is definitely a good time to invest in them.

Since we have Procter & Gamble, let’s bring Colgate as well.

In the beverage sector, Hardy controlled PepsiCo, but he was still not satisfied and was also preparing to invest in Coca-Cola.

Last time, Hardy used some tricks to trick Coca-Cola, causing its stock price to plummet and even damaging its vitality. But he knew that Coca-Cola would definitely recover, and he was still the boss of the cola industry, and it was definitely worth investing in.

Coca-Cola's annual rate of return has become well-known in later generations. If you invest 10,000 US dollars now, the return in a few decades will definitely be more than 10 million US dollars.

In the electronics industry, Hardy plans to invest in IBM. Although IBM was surpassed by companies like Apple and Microsoft before Hardy traveled through time, it is still a giant in the computer and electronics industry, and ranks among the top in terms of profitability.

Investing in IBM now will definitely not be a loss.

There is also Motorola, which started out with car radios and produced walkie-talkies during World War II. The equipment HD Security uses today is their company's product, and later became a giant in the communications industry.

Although it declined later, it was once prosperous for several decades.

Motorola is now only a medium-sized company in terms of scale, but Hardy feels there is still an opportunity. He plans to have an investment company conduct an in-depth study to see if it can acquire more shares in Motorola.

Military industry.

If given the chance, Hardy is prepared to invest in several military-industrial companies within the California consortium, including Lockheed and Northrop Grumman.

Other military-industrial groups all belong to their own consortiums, so it is difficult for Hardy to reach out. But he still has a chance with these companies. After all, he is also a member of the California consortium, and it is normal for companies within consortiums to hold shares in each other.

Finally, there is oil. The reason why it is placed last is that these companies are now giants. It is possible to buy stocks, but it is more difficult to own shares.

For example, ExxonMobil and Chevron.

Now that the war in the Middle East has broken out, Hadi knows that these oil companies will not miss this opportunity to get involved in Middle Eastern oil. In the next two or three decades, until the oil crisis broke out in the 1970s, oil companies made huge profits, and it was definitely worth investing in.

But you can only make a little money by following suit.

There is absolutely no chance that Hardy would get involved in these companies.

suddenly,

The pen in Hardy's hand paused, and he wrote down another name, 'Occidental Petroleum Company'. Hardy had read a biography about a man named 'Armand Hammer', a Russian-American who was known as a "business genius" and a "lucky man". He knew Lenin and had met Deng Xiaoping. He came to China to invest during the honeymoon period between China and the United States in the 1970s. The Occidental Petroleum Company he led became one of the "Seven Oil Sisters" that dominated the world's oil industry.

However, he had not yet bought Occidental Petroleum, which was probably still struggling on the poverty line. Later, Hammer spent $340,000 to buy the oil company, and not long after, he struck oil on their original land.

From then on, the oil company started to thrive and eventually developed into the eighth largest oil company in the world.

But it was 1948, and Hammer had not yet bought Occidental Oil. He was probably still raising cattle on the farm and was the leader in Angus cattle breeding in the United States.

As for Occidental Petroleum, it is located in Los Angeles. After all, Los Angeles is located on a large oil field and has the largest number of oil companies in the United States.

Hardy immediately came up with the idea of ​​acquiring Occidental Petroleum.

Call Henry.

"Henry, help me investigate a company called 'Occidental Petroleum'. It should be in Los Angeles."

"Also, look into the situation of a man named 'Armand Hammer,' who is now supposed to be ranching cattle in New Jersey."

"Okay, boss." Henry replied.

The information Hardy provided was sufficient and it was not difficult to investigate. Two days later, Henry came with the information and reported to Hardy.

"Occidental Petroleum was founded in 1920 and registered in Los Angeles. It was a small company that had drilled a few oil wells, but was sold by its boss. It later acquired land in other places, but never had such good luck again."

"The company's business is not doing well right now, and its valuation is no more than $1 million."

"Armand Hammer, 48 years old this year, is a Russian-American. He once helped his father run a pharmaceutical factory. He was worth millions when he was in college. In his 20s, he went to the Soviet Union and got Lenin's support to run a pencil factory, earning several million dollars."

"After the lifting of Prohibition, I ran a whiskey distillery in New Jersey. Later, in order to get rid of the waste produced by alcohol production, I started raising cattle. Now I have a farm covering more than 2,000 acres in New Jersey. I am now the chairman of the Angus Cattle Breeding Association."

Why did Hardy look for Armand Hammer? Because he always believed that people and companies have luck.

Occidental Petroleum had been poorly managed for many years, and if Armand Hammer had not bought it, it would have probably gone bankrupt. It was precisely because of Armand Hammer's management that it became one of the Seven Sisters of Oil.

Hardy calls Andy.

"Andy, find someone to acquire Occidental Petroleum. I'll let Henry give you the information," said Hardy.

"Boss, you want to get involved in the oil industry. This industry is very promising, but there are too many big competitors ahead, so business is not easy to do." Andy said.

"I know that Occidental Petroleum is a small company with a market value of no more than 1 million. They own more than 3,000 acres of land in Long Beach, most of which are on the seashore. There are also several small islands. The scenery there is nice, with continuous beaches. Even if they don't operate oil fields, they can turn it into a resort or a villa area for the rich in the future." Hardy said.

More than 1 million. Even if there is no oil after the purchase, it will definitely appreciate in value if kept as real estate. In the future, Long Beach will be one of the resorts in Los Angeles.

"Also, help me contact someone, Armand Hammer, and tell him that I'm very interested in the Angus cattle they raise. Please arrange a time for us to meet," said Hardy.

"Ah, boss, you want to start a ranch and raise cattle again?"

Andy was quite surprised. His boss really did what he wanted.

"Have you forgotten that we still have 8,000 acres of land at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico? Although we haven't found any mines, the grass there is abundant and very suitable for raising cattle. When the cows eat the lush grass and drink the mineral water from the Rocky Mountains, the meat will be of very good quality. When our chain supermarket is built, we can also supply our own supermarkets." Hardy said.

"Okay, boss. I'll help you arrange it." Andy replied.

Hardy put down the phone and smiled.

As for what these arrangements were for, only he knew it. He wanted to find a reason to contact and meet him, and perhaps he could get that business god to work for him.

No matter whether it succeeds or not, he won't lose anything.
