Chapter 433 Centennial Hardy
Dr. Key paid a secret visit to China and reached a visit agreement with China after negotiations. He then issued an "Announcement" that President Mike Pence would visit China at an appropriate time. This foreshadows a major turning point in the Eagle-Rabbit relationship that has been frozen for decades.
The news shocked the whole world.
In the United States,
Many people expressed their approval of the President's visit to China.
The Vietnam War has been going on for more than a decade and is still ongoing. There are anti-war voices everywhere in the United States, and Vietnam is supporting it. If the relationship between the Eagle and the Rabbit eases, it will also indicate that there will be major changes in the Vietnam War.
The United States invested a large amount of manpower, material resources, human resources and financial resources in the Vietnam War. During that period, Hardy's supermarket chain became the largest supplier of daily necessities to the U.S. military and made a lot of money.
But for the woolly bear.
But this is not good news. The rabbit and the bear are now on the verge of a war. If Eagle comes here at this time, he will definitely be a troublemaker.
To use an old Chinese saying, the silly eagle is 'Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong'.
The Russian bear knows what the silly eagle is here for, but sometimes even knowing it can't change anything. It's your own fault that you have caused a breakup between good friends.
......
Regarding the trip to Rabbit Country, Mike asked Hardy if he wanted to go with him to visit the rabbits. Hardy thought about it and finally shook his head.
Now is still the period when it is not suitable for investment. There is no point for him to go. He should wait and see after the reform and opening up in 10 years.
What we need to focus on now is the construction of our own territory.
In these years,
The situation in Southeast Asia has changed a lot. The Federation of Malaysia was finally established, but it was not as big as in the past. It was only a small area on the Malay Peninsula, about 100,000 square kilometers, where a group of sultans played house.
Hadi wanted to buy weapons for Singapore to make Singapore the cornerstone of stability in Southeast Asia. The ruler of Singapore at that time was named An.
An Feng, whose English name is Bern Hardy.
Hardy and Mike discussed the issue of arms procurement from Singapore. The US's attitude towards Singapore is that it can sell everything except aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines.
......
A few months later.
A major historical moment has arrived.
The Global Times reporter followed Mike to visit Rabbit Country and was greeted by Zhou Weiren at the airport. The two shook hands, heralding a new chapter in the relationship between the Eagle and the Rabbit.
Interestingly,
On the wall next to the airport, there was a row of large signs with white letters on a red background that read, "Oppressed people and nations around the world, unite! Down with U.S. imperialism and all reactionaries!"
The convoy arrived at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Chinese food served directly at the banquet.
Chopsticks are provided for the guests instead of knives and forks.
Mike used chopsticks to pick up the food very fluently, and said to Zhou Weiren beside him: "I know these dishes, fried shrimp balls, salad and chicken."
“Does President Corrion often eat Chinese food?”
"My best friend Hardy loves Chinese food and can speak fluent Chinese. We often have dinner together and sometimes he will prepare Chinese food. He also forces me to use chopsticks, saying that this is the authentic way to eat Chinese food, so I learned to use chopsticks," Mike said with a smile.
Zhou Weiren thought for a moment and asked, "Hardy, is it Jon Hardy?"
"Yes, you know him, too?"
"Although I have never met him, I have heard of him. American newspapers and magazines often report on him, saying that he is the most successful business tycoon of this century."
"Yes, he is very good at business and has a keen eye. He has many industries not only in the United States, but also in Europe, Japan and Hong Kong. I invited him to come, but he refused. He said he would come over in 10 years," said Mike.
This meeting,
It is historical.
The ice melted, and Eagle and Rabbit began to establish diplomatic relations. Silly Eagle also lifted the embargo on Rabbit and allowed the sale of non-strategic materials to Rabbit.
This change is very good news for Hong Kong.
This meant that trade with the mainland could be carried out normally without restrictions. Hardy's industries in Hong Kong were now even larger than before. The lifting of the embargo alone would instantly increase the value of Hong Kong's industries several times.
......
Entering the 1970s.
The electronics industry is developing rapidly.
Hardy had already made his plans. He was one of the shareholders of the later technology giant IBM and the communications giant Motorola, and he continued to purchase more shares over the years.
He also set up an investment company in Silicon Valley and invested in a large number of technology companies, including Intel, AMD, Apple, Oracle, Microsoft, etc.
The Hardy Group is also involved in other electronic technology industries.
The Hardy Group has become one of the largest technology and electronics industrial groups in the United States.
......
In the late 1970s,
After the Rabbit Country began to show signs of reform and opening up.
The Hadi Group was the first to enter the country in a big way. At that time, other foreign businessmen did not know what the future of this country would be like. They were worried that the policies would change, so they were all waiting and watching and did not dare to come. This also gave Hadi an opportunity.
The Hadi Group has made large-scale and comprehensive investments in the country through companies in the Cayman Islands, Penang, Malacca and Hong Kong.
For Hardy,
Investing $1 now will yield a return of $1,000 or even $10,000 in the future.
Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Xiamen, Shantou.
Companies and factories were established one after another.
Shoe factories, clothing factories, television factories, air-conditioning factories, motor factories, automobile factories, fertilizer factories, pesticide factories, Pepsi-Cola, steel companies, oil industries, pharmaceutical companies, large machinery companies, machine tool companies, electronic parts factories...
There are more than 300 stores in total, covering all categories.
The scale of investment is unprecedented.
Wells Fargo Bank established a branch in Shenzhen, becoming the first wholly foreign-owned bank in New China. It also entered into a cooperative relationship with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, acting as the bank's overseas business agent.
It can be said that Wells Fargo has become China's window to foreign banks, and global funds can be transferred through Wells Fargo in the future.
A reporter asked Hadi if he was optimistic about China's future after investing in so many companies in China. Hadi said with certainty, "I am indeed optimistic about China's future. Although there is nothing there now, it is a good time for Hadi Group to develop vigorously."
During this period,
It is the honeymoon period between China and the United States.
There is no restriction on investment.
The Hardy Group brought the most advanced American technology.
As reform and opening-up deepened, China opened up more regions, and the Hardy Group's industrial groups began to expand rapidly and penetrate into other cities in China.
Including BJ and Shanghai.
The name "Hadi" can be seen everywhere in China. In just a few years, the number of Hadi Group's companies in China has exceeded 3,000.
The products involve all aspects.
......
In the 1980s, information industries such as computers, software and communications rose rapidly. In the 1990s, the Internet era arrived.
Hardy always seizes the opportunity and invests in these industries in advance.
At this time, the Hardy Group's industrial scale has developed very large, and many people estimate that Hardy's net worth is definitely calculated in trillions of US dollars.
No one knows exactly how much, because in the later period, Hardy hid a lot of wealth.
He also owns three dominions: Penang, Malacca and Cayman. These are his private territories and the value of these places is impossible to estimate.
Time flies.
It's 2021.
The "Hardy Group" has become the world's top and most legendary company.
By this time, Hardy was already 100 years old.
Not long ago, the New York Times conducted a survey to select the 100 most influential people in the world in the 20th century. Hardy was included in the same survey as Roosevelt, Einstein and others.
Although he is 100 years old, Hardy still looks vigorous. This may be related to his super recovery ability. Now he looks like he is in his 70s or 80s.
Looking at the smartphone in his hand, Hardy had an inexplicable feeling of returning to his previous life, as if he had gone through a reincarnation.
Think back on your life.
He is now worth hundreds of trillions, has created countless wealth, and has dozens of women, many of whom have passed away. When Hadi saw them off, they all said they were lucky to follow Hadi.
Hardy did not fulfill his dream of becoming King Wen of Zhou and had only more than 40 children.
There are a lot of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The Hardy Group has a family trust in the Cayman Islands, which is Wells Fargo's own property. Hardy's women, children, and even grandchildren can receive a considerable living allowance every year. Although they cannot become wealthy, they can definitely live a comfortable life and pursue their ideals and dreams.
If you like doing business, your family will invest in you. If you like painting, you can learn painting. If you like music, you can learn music. If you like adventure, you can just pack up and go. If you like academics, there is Hardy University. If you like scientific research, the Hardy Group has dozens of research institutes covering all areas. If you like picking up girls, you can become a playboy with a million dollars a year.
Hardy doesn't mind raising a bunch of crap.
No matter what, they are their own kind.
In fact, it is the best state of life for everyone to be free to pursue their own ideals. If they are still not satisfied, that is their own business.
What,
Want to fight for the family property,
Excuse me.
Hadi has already made arrangements. Although Hadi Group will be in the hands of Hadi's descendants in the future, if the descendants are incapable, the Hadi Group Committee will automatically hire the best professional managers. As for the professional managers, HD Security and the world's largest law firm will be jointly responsible for supervision. If anyone wants to embezzle Hadi Group's assets, he will die miserably.
Hardy's life,
Not only did they do business, they also launched several wars: in the 1960s, it was Indonesia; in the 1970s, it was Indonesia; in the 1980s, it was Indonesia; and in the 1990s, it was still Indonesia.
As long as he could find a reason, Hadi would kill Ni.
Because of the existence of Singapore and Hadi's Dominion, the United States did not choose to support Indonesia in this life, so Indonesia's development is far less than in the previous life. However, these monkeys are still jumping happily, so Hadi will give them a beating every few years.
Today, Singapore and the Hadi Dominion are all under Hadi's hands. The population, land area and combat power are far beyond those of the previous life. He is not afraid of war, so he is called the "Little Overlord of Southeast Asia" by countless people.
This year I am 100 years old.
Hadi visits China.
Received by the top leader.
During the interview, a reporter asked Hadi, "How much investment have you made in mainland China?"
Hardy smiled and shook his head.
"Highways, transportation, industrial products, hotels, tourist attractions, agricultural development, postal and telecommunications, construction and real estate, home decoration, clothing and leather goods, medical companies, home appliances, electronic technology, chip companies, automobile companies, I don't know the details, there are too many."
Another reporter asked: "When the Hadi Group established a real estate company in China, other real estate companies wanted to set up public stalls, but the Hadi Group refused to do so. In the end, due to the influence of the Hadi Group, China finally cancelled the public stalls, and the Hadi Group lost a lot of money. Why did you do this?"
"I only make the money I deserve. The public stalls are shameless," said Hardy.
Many reporters in the audience laughed. Mr. Hardy, at the age of 100, still speaks so directly.
"Mr. Hardy, China purchases chips worth 300 billion US dollars every year, a large part of which comes from the Hardy Group and its subsidiaries. Do you think this number will be exceeded in the future?" another reporter asked.
"The Hadi Group has chip factories in the United States, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Penang and Malacca. As technology advances, more and more chips will be needed. I believe this number will definitely be exceeded in the future."
"Mr. Hardy, why did you come to this small city in China? Do you have any special purpose?" the reporter asked.
Hardy smiled.
"I just wanted to see the development situation in various parts of China, so I randomly picked this place. This place has beautiful scenery, outstanding people and a great place. Maybe a great figure will emerge from it."
That night,
Hardy stayed in the best hotel in town.
This hotel was also invested by the Hardy Group and is a well-built hotel in this small town.
That night,
Hardy was in a daze.
Suddenly I heard a voice in my head:
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for passing the system test and completing the primary task. Now you can turn on the system. Would you like to turn on the system?"
Hardy was stunned for a long time.
He thought this book had no system.
I don’t know what will happen after I accept it.
But he is already 100 years old, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Open!"
The book is finished.
