Chapter 373 Do you want to start an all-out war?

The Global Times gg page carried a large-scale gg promotion:

"Caesars Palace and the Venetian in Las Vegas will both open on August 5th, with a grand opening ceremony."

"There will be multiple concerts in the Caesars Palace Performance Hall, with stars including Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Johnny Fonteyn, Judy Garland, and all the finalists from the first two Super Idols."

"The Grand Hotel will host the Victoria's Secret Angel Show, the largest lingerie model competition in the United States, for a week. It will be held every year in the future."

"The Hardy Group will host the 'All-American Boxing Tournament' and invite the most famous boxers in the United States to participate. You can bet on the boxers you like."

"Caesars Palace and the Venetian will simultaneously host televised awards shows, one every two hours, eight times a day, interspersed with the Hardy's Grand Hotel."

“Both Caesars Palace and the Venetian have luxury shopping areas that bring together luxury brands from all over the world. You can buy anything you like here, completing a perfect shopping experience.”

abc tv,

Television reports on Caesars Palace and Venetian Hotel also began. In the GG videos, the two major casinos have their own characteristics, combining all the elements of eating, drinking and entertainment to stimulate people's nerves.

People have discovered that the two newly opened casinos are larger than the original Hardy Hotel Casino, with luxurious interior decorations and more entertainment options. Once you get inside, you can have fun for days without even leaving the house.

At the same time.

The Hadi Group began to operate at full capacity, inviting government officials, parliamentarians, companies that had business dealings with the Hadi Group, and corporate contacts of the seven major conglomerates provided by Hadi. As many as four to five thousand invitations were sent out.

These people replied one after another, saying that they would go to participate when the time comes.

Not only that,

Many Hollywood stars also received invitations. Since Hardy is the chairman of the Screen Actors Guild, these people naturally had to give him face.

It's not just Hardy who's running the show. There are also partners at Caesars Palace and the Venetian Hotel, and they're also mobilizing their own connections to ensure there are more people at the opening, to make it a lively event, and to make it a huge hit.

......

Monroe is back.

The film "Some Like It Hot" was successfully completed, and the director returned to Los Angeles to prepare for post-production. The first thing Monroe did when she came back was to meet Hardy.

In the bedroom.

The two bodies were intertwined, and soon Menglu hugged Hardy tightly, trembling, and uttered some meaningless words.

But Hardy didn't let her go.

Let the woman catch her breath and then continue working.

Finally, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.

The woman leaned beside Hardy with satisfaction, stroked Menglu's blonde hair and said, "Two casinos are opening in Las Vegas, and you are the main force in holding concerts."

Menglu nodded, she was naturally willing to do these things.

"I'll have the person in charge of performance meet you tomorrow. Rehearsals, dancers, show effects, etc. need to be communicated in advance." Hardy said.

"Okay, I will do it well." Meng Lu said.

the next day,

Menglu went back to work again.

It's not just Monroe who is busy. Ava, Johnny, Judy Garland and other singers have already started rehearsing in the past two days.

......

The other two stores of Hardy's supermarket chain in Los Angeles have already opened. Hardy has not visited them yet. Today, he has nothing to do and plans to go and check out the situation. For the supermarket chain, there are still many businesses to be developed in the future.

I was going to take Taylor with me before I left.

I called Taylor, and he was very happy. He changed his clothes immediately, estimated that it was about time, and went out early to wait for Hardy at the door.

Just as Taylor was looking around and waiting, a green convertible sports car drove quickly towards him from a distance. The driver's eyes lit up when he saw Taylor, and the car squeaked to a stop in front of Taylor.

"Hi Elizabeth, did you know I was coming and were waiting for me? I drove my new car to take you for a ride?" He patted the steering wheel of the sports car.

Taylor knew the young man driving the car, Nick Hilton, the eldest son of the Hilton family. Some time ago, she attended a birthday party hosted by a friend, and Nick Hilton also attended the party.

At the cocktail party, Nick Hilton was struck by the beauty when he saw Elizabeth Taylor. He walked up to her and introduced himself to her. He followed Taylor all night. Taylor was not stupid, so she naturally saw through his intentions and wanted to seduce her.

Taylor now only has Hardy in his heart. Nick Hilton has been intentionally or unintentionally showing off his family background, wealth, and family power. In his view, Taylor is just an actor. Although he has some fame, he is still not in the same class as the rich. After Taylor knows his identity as the heir of the Hilton family, he will definitely take the initiative to approach him.

But he miscalculated.

Taylor's man Hardy is simply too good. He is only 29 years old this year, but he is already the richest man in the United States, catching up with big families such as Rockefeller and Morgan. How can he be compared with the Hilton family?

Besides, Nick Hilton is just an heir, and his future is still unknown.

Moreover, in Taylor's eyes, Nick Hilton was a frivolous man, a typical playboy. His methods were nothing new. He just relied on his family's reputation to deceive women. Once he got them into bed, he would break up with them soon and look for his next target.

Taylor didn't pay any attention to this guy at the party, but this guy didn't give up and started to fight with Taylor.

She would send Taylor flowers and small gifts every now and then.

Taylor refused all of them and had them sent back the same way they came.

The guy came to Taylor's house and asked her out, but Taylor rejected him outright and told Nick Hilton that she had a boyfriend and asked him not to bother her anymore. Nick Hilton did not back down after hearing what Taylor said. Instead, he smiled and said, "I don't mind snatching a girlfriend from someone else. I hope the other person is a worthy opponent for me to give it a try."

Then he left with a smile.

Taylor and Hardy's relationship was not made public, and because of Hardy's identity, no paparazzi dared to report these things casually. The Screen Actors Guild now also includes reporters, and reporters do not have a dedicated union yet, so who among these reporters dares to offend Hardy?

Any reporter with a bit of common sense has vaguely heard of Hadi's other identity. The biggest reason they don't report on Hadi is that they don't want to die.

Reporting that Hardy slept with a female star is at most just a piece of gossip for people's amusement.

But the consequences are something no one can bear.

missing.

car accident.

Drowned.

Choked to death while eating,

Drinking water is so choking.

The simplest case is being stabbed to death on the street, with blood all over the ground, and you don’t even know who did it.

Only a fool would do such a thing.

So Nick Hilton didn't know that the boyfriend Taylor was talking about was Jon Hardy. If he knew, he probably wouldn't have pursued Hardy's woman even if he had the courage. He is a playboy, not a fool.

Today Hardy asked Taylor to go out, and Taylor came out to wait for Hardy. Unexpectedly, Nick Hilton came again and saw Taylor standing at the door.

"Nick, I told you I have a boyfriend and I won't accept you. Please leave. I'm waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up." Taylor said and walked away from Nick Hilton.

"Your boyfriend is here to pick you up. Great! I was just wanting to see who he is and what car he drives. I hope it's not a Ford, and a black one at that." Nick Hilton said with a smile, not hiding his arrogance at all.

Taylor turned his head away in annoyance.

At this moment, a convoy drove over. The car leading the way was indeed a Ford, and the car in the middle was a Rolls-Royce.

"My boyfriend is here, and he's driving a Ford, a black one." Taylor said proudly when she saw the convoy.

Nick Hilton naturally saw the Rolls-Royce in the middle and was amazed at who could have such a grand ceremony, with several bodyguard cars in front and behind. It was probably the most grand ceremony a president would have when traveling.

In fact, Hardy was not deliberately showing off, but for safety reasons. He had so much money, so many women, and decades of wonderful life waiting for him in the future. He didn't want to be killed because of carelessness.

It will be too late to regret then.

Hardy was walking in the car and had already seen Taylor standing at the door of her house through the car window. There was also a young man driving a convertible sports car and parked next to Taylor.

The car door was half open, and Hardy's voice came from inside, "Taylor, get in the car and take you out to play."

"Okay."

Taylor agreed happily and jumped into the car.

Nick Hilton never saw who was in the car. After Taylor got in, the door was closed and the convoy started to leave.

......

Taylor sat next to Hardy, holding Hardy's arm with a smile on his face.

"Is the guy driving the sports car just now your friend?" Hardy asked casually.

Taylor curled his lips, "Who is his friend? His name is Nick Hilton, one of the Hilton family's heirs. I met him at my friend's birthday party that day, and this guy started to pester me and insisted on pursuing me."

"I told him I had a boyfriend, but he smiled and said he liked to compete with others. He later sent me flowers and gifts, but I confiscated them all. This guy also came to my house to look for me, but I drove him away every time."

"Actually, I think that this guy would have been scared away if I had just mentioned your name. But without your consent, I was afraid that saying your name would have an impact on you, so I haven't said it yet." Taylor looked up at Hardy.

The purple pupils were full of cunning.

Hadi was amused.

This girl is plotting against me.

"You can tell him that day that you are my girlfriend, and if there is a media interview, you can also admit it openly," said Hardy.

He is not a politician.

The money is all yours.

Who cares how many girlfriends you have?

When Taylor heard this, he immediately smiled, jumped onto Hardy's legs, hugged Hardy's neck and kissed him.

Hardy's hand unconsciously reached in through the collar.

She was wearing one of those strappy dresses today, with a cross at the chest and straps tied behind the neck.

Such clothes are very convenient to reach.

The touch is first-rate, this girl has developed very perfectly, and she perfectly illustrates what it means to have a baby face and big breasts...

Hardy brought Taylor to a newly opened chain supermarket, and they both went in to shop like ordinary consumers. The experience was very good. The supermarket had a complete range of goods, which were neatly stacked, and the service attitude of the waiters was very good.

There were a lot of customers in the store, and people had to queue up to pay the bill, which showed that the business was good.

There were still a few people wandering around in the store, their eyes constantly staring at the shoppers. Hardy could tell at a glance that these guys were probably shoplifters. Now this model has become the norm in Hardy's supermarkets, and the effect is very good. No matter whether they are big thieves or small thieves, no one dares to make trouble in Hardy's supermarkets.

After finishing shopping with Taylor and leaving the supermarket, we returned to the manor. The weather was hot, so we prepared to swim, and Taylor went to change clothes.

Hardy picked up the phone and called Andy.

"Boss, what can I do for you?" Andy asked.

"There's something about Taylor..." Hardy told Andy about Nick Hilton's harassment of Taylor.

"You call the person in charge of the Hilton family and tell them to keep Nick Hilton in check. If he does anything again, the Hardy Group doesn't mind taking action, not only against Nick, but also against the entire Hilton family." Hardy said lightly.

"I understand, boss." said Andy.

In fact, when Hardy heard the name Nick Hilton, he remembered who the young man was. He was Elizabeth Taylor's first husband in her previous life. When Taylor married Nick Hilton, Taylor was only 18 years and four months old. However, they divorced after only a few months of marriage because Nick Hilton abused Taylor during their honeymoon. The relationship between the two fell into a cold war and they divorced.

Unexpectedly, that guy showed up again in this life. Although Hardy didn't care about him, he still felt unhappy.

Conrad Hilton, the owner of Hilton, is looking at information in the company. Now that the two major casinos in Las Vegas have been completed and are ready to open for business, they are being reported in newspapers and on television every day. The management team of Hilton Hotels also sees that the business in Las Vegas will get better and better in the future, so they suggest that the group build a hotel in Las Vegas as well.

Of course,

It would be even better if we could get into casino business.

It's just that the Hilton family currently doesn't have the connections in Las Vegas to build relationships there.

Conrad Hilton knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Las Vegas, Jon Hardy, the new American bigwig, would be a key figure that he could not avoid.

Without his approval, no one can make money in Las Vegas.

Including the Mafia across the United States and even other gang forces. This shows how powerful Jon Hardy is.

"Ring, ring, ring~!"

The phone on the table rang. Conrad Hilton picked it up and answered it. The secretary's voice came from inside, "Chairman, Mr. Andy, the president of the Hardy Group, wants to see you."

Conrad Hilton was stunned.

President of Hadi Group, why would he come to me?

But then I became happy. No matter what it was, today might be an opportunity to get in touch with the president of the Hardy Group, and maybe I could get through to Jon Hardy.

Let the secretary take the phone.

"Hello, President Andy, I'm Conrad Hilton. I've heard of you for a long time but never had the chance to meet you. I wonder what you want to talk to me about today?" Conrad Hilton said enthusiastically.

Andy, however, showed no enthusiasm and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Conrad Hilton, I am here to see you on behalf of Mr. Hardy."

"Ah, Mr. Jon Hardy, what does Mr. Hardy want to talk to me about?" Conrad Hilton asked.

"Nick Hilton is your son, right?" Andy asked.

Hearing the other party mention his son, Conrad Hilton suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, probably not a good thing.

"It's my son."

"Mr. Hardy has been in Japan these days, and your son Nick Hilton has been harassing Mr. Hardy's girlfriend, Miss Taylor. Mr. Hardy was very unhappy when he learned about this."

Conrad Hilton's heart skipped a beat.

Then he started to curse his son in his heart.

Are you a bastard?

It would be fine if you just spend your days drinking and partying, but you actually go out and cause trouble for yourself. Why would you mess with anyone else when you can mess with someone who even I can't afford to mess with?

"Mr. Hardy asked me to tell Mr. Hilton that your son had better behave himself, otherwise the Hardy Group will react and then go to war with the Hilton Group. I hope Mr. Conrad Hilton understands the term 'all-out war'."

Andy said and hung up the phone.

Conrad Hilton's hand was shaking as he held the receiver.

All-out war,

He naturally knew what all-out war meant.

That is to use official, economic, and even covert means, using every possible means.

Hardy's connections, including the fact that President Johnson is his close friend, are known throughout the United States. Hardy himself is a partner and even a leader of the California Consortium.

Recently I heard that he is very close to several other big conglomerates and they are developing businesses in Japan together.

Putting aside other things, just based on this network of connections, if the Hilton family offends Hardy, the road ahead will probably become extremely difficult.

Start a war economically.

Suppressing stock prices, acquiring shares, and various economic operations, the Hardy Group is backed by two major banks, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, and is far more powerful than the Hilton family. If they want to forcibly acquire the Hilton family's industries, I'm afraid the Hilton family will find it extremely difficult to resist.

The last is covert means.

This is the most terrible thing, especially for a service industry like Hilton Hotels.

There are hooligans causing trouble in the hotel, complaints are frequent, or there is a fire in the hotel, the transformer is blown up, there are cockroaches in the hotel's food...

In short, there are too many means.

In order for Hilton Hotels to be able to operate locally, they have to have good relations with local gangs and even pay a certain amount of protection fees. If you offend the people who control the gangs, it will be a disaster within a disaster. These people can completely make it impossible for you to operate your business.

“Fuck~Fuck~!”

Conrad Hilton couldn't help but scold his son.

He picked up the phone and called his secretary, "Mobilize everyone and get that bastard Nick here for me, right now. I want to see him as quickly as possible."
