Chapter 403: Want to jump off the building, please queue up
"Please make arrangements and go to Japan after finishing your trip to Italy." Hardy instructed his secretary after reading the telegram.
"Okay boss."
The Japanese looked for Hardy, thinking he was in the United States, but in fact he was not in the United States, but in Rome, Italy.
"Roman Holiday" has started filming.
The director invited was William Wheeler, who was also the director of the original Roman Holiday. Now, even though this Roman Holiday was only filmed two years in advance, he could still be used.
As for the male actor, Gregory Peck is still used.
When the world was filming "Holiday in Rome", due to lack of funds, it was initially planned to be filmed in a studio. Later, after trying to raise more funds, it went to Rome, but it was only enough to use black and white film.
Many people regret not being able to enjoy the color version of Roman Holiday. This time the filming was funded by HD Films, so there was no need to worry about money. Of course, color film had to be used.
Some people might say.
The black-and-white version of "Roman Holiday" is a classic, and the color version may lose its original flavor, but Hardy doesn't think so.
He wanted to see it in color anyway.
He is the boss.
He has the final say on this world's "Roman Holiday".
In fact, it is easy to see black and white. You can turn color into black and white by removing the color. It is much easier than turning black into color.
When Hardy appeared on the set, the entire crew was shocked. You know, he is the most popular super-rich man in the United States recently.
Gregory Peck knew Hardy before and greeted him respectfully. Hardy asked director William Wyler about the filming situation. Hepburn stood by. She was wearing the most classic white dress in the movie today. She looked at Hardy with her big eyes blinking.
"How's it going?" Hardy asked the director.
"We have already shot one-third of the film, and it's going very smoothly," said the director.
Without financial pressure, it is simply a paradise for directors.
Hardy glanced at Hepburn next to him and asked, "How is Hepburn's acting?"
Director William Wheeler looked at Hepburn and praised her, saying, "Her spirituality is unmatched. Her eyes, which can speak, are enough to attract all audiences."
Hardy smiled.
"After filming for so long, I think everyone is a little tired. Why not give everyone a day off to rest and take the opportunity to visit Rome or go to a bar to relax. I will personally give each actor and staff member a bonus of $200."
“Wow~~!”
The staff cheered.
All were smiling.
200 US dollars is not a small amount of money. The actors and staff here, except for the lead actor Gregory Peck and the famous director, all live on their salaries. 200 US dollars is a month's salary for many people.
Hardy gave each person 200 US dollars, which was definitely a generous amount of money. You have to know that there are more than a hundred actors and staff here, which would cost 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars.
How can I not be happy when I get paid during the holidays?
As for Hepburn, Hardy walked away holding the girl's hand.
Some people gathered together to whisper, and one of the guys said with emotion: "Our big boss is really a playboy. Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, all of whom are the most famous female stars in Hollywood, are all his girlfriends."
"Miss Hepburn will become famous quickly after filming this movie. Now she is the girlfriend of the big boss. My God, the big boss has all the famous beauties in Hollywood under his command."
Someone next to him said, "Don't you realize that all these people were made famous by the big boss? Starting from Miss Ava, Taylor, and Hepburn, the big boss wrote the scripts himself and paid for the movies. If there was no big boss, do you think they would be as famous as they are now?"
“That’s right.”
"Also, flowers like these need strong protection to keep them blooming for a long time. Do you think there is anyone in Hollywood who can protect them better than the big boss?"
"Well, no, the big boss is unmatched in Hollywood in terms of financial strength, power, and energy." This person agreed very much with his companion's statement.
"Besides, the big boss is so young and handsome. Don't you think it's lucky for Miss Ava, Miss Taylor, Monroe, and Hepburn to be his girlfriends?" The guy asked three questions in a row.
My companion immediately felt that this was indeed the case.
Who is taking advantage.
In fact, the women who followed Hardy were the ones who benefited the most.
In this world,
I think Hardy is the best person to provide them with the best protection.
So Hardy has them,
It's the luck of those girls.
......
Hepburn held Hardy's hand and looked at him with her big eyes from time to time, feeling a sense of happiness from the bottom of her heart.
Although he has many girlfriends.
Some people say he is a playboy, but Hepburn feels happy at this moment.
That's enough.
A few days ago, Hepburn's mother came to Italy to see her, mainly because Hepburn was making more money now and could support the former baroness to travel.
The Baroness didn't care about the rumor that Hepburn was Hardy's girlfriend. She touched her daughter's face and said, "In fact, as long as a woman feels happy, it is enough. An unhappy marriage will not be happy no matter who she marries."
In the hotel room.
Hepburn sat in Hardy's arms. Although Hepburn was very tall, she still looked small in Hardy's arms.
She is too thin.
Sitting on Hardy's lap, I couldn't feel any weight.
Her breasts,
She is the youngest of all the women in Hadi.
But this does not affect her perfection at all.
The kiss made Hepburn feel a little short of breath. With her head resting on Hardy's chest, she could clearly hear the man's strong heartbeat.
The two of them just stayed there quietly.
No need to say anything.
Hepburn liked this quiet and intimate feeling of communication.
"Your heart is beating so hard, it feels like a drum," Hepburn said softly.
"It's beating for you," said Hardy.
Hepburn smiled softly, "Don't you dance for other girls?"
"This moment is just for you, so I will cherish every moment with you." Hardy said shamelessly.
As long as you don't feel shameless, you can say the worst things and feel justified in doing so.
Of course,
You need to have the capital to be as scumbag as Hardy.
"Do you think anyone will like this movie?" Hepburn asked with a little concern.
Obviously, this movie is a romantic art film. The box office of this kind of movie is usually mediocre. Without exciting conflicts, the audience sometimes does not buy it.
"Don't worry, people will like it. I guarantee it. You have to trust my judgment," said Hardy.
"I asked my friends, and it seems that people now like the plump and charming type like Monroe," said Hepburn.
Hardy smiled and shook his head, "Aesthetics are diverse. Some people like Monroe's feminine and sexy look, while others like purity and elegance. As long as it reaches the extreme, it is perfect."
The two were only a dozen centimeters apart.
Hepburn looked Hardy in the eyes.
"Hardy, you always have such a good way of flattering people with your mouth," said Hepburn.
Regardless of whether what Hardy said was true or not, girls love to hear it.
"Not only can he coax people, he can also kiss." Hardy smiled and put his mouth closer again. Hepburn gently closed her eyes and raised her long neck slightly.
......
Hardy did not eat Hepburn. Hepburn was like an elf deer, timid and curious. He wanted her to slowly feel the taste of love.
After only one day in Italy, Hardy flew to Japan on a private jet.
When Hadi arrived in Japan and returned to his residence, Yoshida Shigeru hurried over to visit him with several cabinet ministers.
"Special Envoy Hadi, the Hans Pharmaceutical stock crash in the United States has had a serious impact on Japan. Hundreds of people have committed suicide, and the doors of those financial companies are crowded with investors."
"Many people have used their only properties, land and antiques as collateral for investment. If they fail, their families may be ruined."
"We suspect that these investment companies may be involved in fraud. Please help investigate."
Hardy nodded gently. "Okay, I will send someone to investigate. If they are really suspected of conspiracy fraud, these people will definitely reveal their true colors."
Yoshida Shigeru and the Minister of Economic Affairs then said goodbye and left.
After they left, Wick, the Japanese intelligence chief, came to report to Hardy that there was serious social unrest in Japan during this period, with many people committing suicide every day, all of whom were people who failed in investment.
The number of families affected this time involves hundreds of thousands.
If this matter is not handled properly, more people will commit suicide, Japan's economy will be seriously affected, and the vitality that has been worked hard to recover in recent years will be consumed in an instant.
Wick only reported the situation in Japan, and he didn't know the real bosses behind those financial investment companies.
The only people who knew the inside story of the whole incident were Hardy, Andy and Henry, and they were all under a single line of command, with the information passed down layer by layer.
The heads of those financial investment companies did not know that the real boss behind them was Hardy.
......
A week later.
The survey results are out.
Japan's largest newspaper, Asahi Shimbun, announced the results of an investigation that all operations of those financial investment companies were completely compliant. The stock crash was just an isolated incident, an investment failure, and there was no fraud.
The Prime Minister advises citizens that investment is a risky activity and asks citizens to invest prudently in the future to avoid incurring significant losses to personal property.
then.
That’s all.
All operations of these financial investment companies are completely compliant and legal. There is no evidence that they are committing fraud, so no one can do anything to them.
In the stock market of later generations, there were endless outrageous operations and means of defrauding investors, but in the end, what happened? Many of them were just fined hundreds of thousands and warned and that was the end of the matter. But how much money did the investors lose? Hundreds of billions, and there was still no follow-up.
You need to be cautious when investing and you are responsible for your own gains and losses. This is written in the contract.
After this news was reported.
The rooftop was crowded with people who wanted to commit suicide, and they even had to queue up because there were not as many high-rise buildings as in later generations, and it was not easy to find a good spot.
If you are too short, you won’t die from the fall, but it would be even more pitiful if you become disabled.
In the days that followed, Japan's suicide rate skyrocketed, with hundreds of people committing suicide every day, and it took a full half month before it began to slow down.
The government has no other options.
You can only add corpse pickers to handle corpses.
There are constant cries all over Japan.
Originally during this period, Japan's social economy had experienced a very rapid recovery, but this investment failure completely destroyed the little confidence that the Japanese had just gained, and many people became discouraged and heartbroken.
Hardy looked at the news and shook his head with a look of pity.
I can't even bear this kind of blow.
The mentality is not good.
By the way, the term of the investment mortgage loan is two years, and it is always handled by Wells Fargo Bank. Wells Fargo Bank will keep an eye on it and ask for payment when it is due. If it cannot be repaid, the collateral will be confiscated directly.
Antiques and gold in the bank.
The house and land are still in the hands of the original owner, so they should be taken back.
I guess another wave of deaths will come.
Amen.
