"I have bought a batch of antiques. Are you interested in going to see them now?" Hardy asked Han Ye-jin.
"Okay." Han Ye-jin agreed immediately.
Hardy drove Han Ye-jin to HD Security Company. Han Ye-jin was a little surprised when they entered the door. "HD Security, I have heard of this name. What are we doing in the security company?"
Hardy smiled.
"I own this security company. The porcelain is kept at the security company. It's safer here."
Han Ye-jin looked at Hardy in surprise.
"Is the HD Security that became famous some time ago your company?" Last month, Irina dragged her to watch the documentary "Los Angeles Bank Robbery".
“Yes.”
"What about HD Films?"
"It's mine, too."
Han Ye-jin looked at Hardy carefully again. At such a young age, he already owns two companies, so he must be very capable. No wonder he just boasted that he would make a lot of money.
The two came to the storage room.
Han Ye-jin saw the porcelain on the shelf and was immediately attracted to it.
"This is a Ruyi vase. The turquoise green color is so beautiful. It was made during the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty. It is a fine product from the imperial kilns."
"This is an alum tea bowl from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. There are poems inscribed on it, which makes it even more valuable."
"This cloisonné vase is absolutely a masterpiece. Its shape is noble and elegant, its patterns are graceful and gorgeous, its gold is brilliant, and its colors are gorgeous and rich..."
Han Ye-jin started talking a lot, and even though Hardy had a Chinese soul, he couldn't understand some of what she said.
There is nothing we can do about the low cultural level.
Hardy said: "We have set up an art acquisition company, and the warehouse is located here. This is where the security company is stationed, so safety is fully guaranteed."
Han Ye-jin smiled.
"This is a really good place. The bank vault is protected by you. If this place is not safe, then there is no safe place."
"If you register a company, I suggest you register an auction company. Auction companies involve a wider range of businesses, including acquisition, appraisal, sales, and transactions. Even if you only want to collect, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't do other business."
Hadi thought what Han Ye-jin said made sense.
"Then set up an auction company."
Just do it.
Hardy took Han Ye-jin to find an agency that specializes in helping people register, bought a shell company, changed the facade, and Hardy now had another auction company under his name.
"We also need an office location." Han Yejin said.
"You will be in charge of this company in the future. I think we should rent an office building near USC. You can run the office there and use the security company as a warehouse," said Hardy.
"I think it's okay." Han Ye-jin nodded.
Hardy smiled and stretched out his hand. Han Ye-jin paused and stretched out her hand, and the two held hands together.
"From now on, you are the general manager of Hardy Auction Company. The operation and development of the company will be entirely in your hands."
After Hardy finished speaking, he handed the company registration certificate to Han Ye-jin.
Han Ye-jin took the company registration certificate and felt that everything happened so fast that she didn't even have time to react. Before she knew it, she had become his person.
However.
This is indeed something I like.
Then do it.
Hadi took out a check, wrote the amount and name on it, tore it off and handed it to Han Ye-jin, "This is 100,000, the company's startup capital."
Han Ye-jin took the check in a daze, thinking that one hundred thousand dollars was handed to her like this, and there was no need to worry that she would take it and not acknowledge it.
"The rest of the auction company's affairs are left to you." Hardy said with a smile.
It was already past 7 o'clock in the evening, and Hardy took Han Ye-jin to a French restaurant where the two had dinner together.
Whenever Han Ye-jin eats, she always feels something strange in her heart, but she can't figure out what's wrong.
Hardy looked at the delicate girl in front of him.
I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
He is not like other men who send flowers, treat her to dinner or watch movies.
How wonderful it is now.
He let her work for him and took her out for dinner whenever he wanted, under the pretext of celebrating the establishment of the company.
In the future, the two of them will be in a superior-subordinate relationship, and there will be more opportunities for contact. When the time comes, I can invite her out for dinner and just mention a research project.
During the meal, the two chatted and discussed how to run the company in the future, and Hardy's solution was the simplest.
The company layout was completed recently.
Afterwards, a group of professionals were recruited.
Launching acquisitions.
He'll find a way to deal with the money issue.
"Yejin, what is your biggest ideal?" Hardy asked.
Han Ye-jin thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I have a dream, which is to build an art museum. I will design the museum myself and collect artworks from all over the world. Of course, the largest number of artworks will be Chinese cultural relics. I will want to display China's art treasures to people all over the world."
Before I knew it, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.
Hardy sent the girl back to USC. The car stopped downstairs of the dormitory building. Han Ye-jin got out of the car and waved goodbye to Hardy.
When she pushed open the dormitory door, she found her roommate Irina sitting on the sofa in the living room with a pout on her face and her eyes squinting at her.
"What are you doing?" Han Ye-jin asked in surprise.
"Han Ye-jin, I just realized that you are a guy who values women over friendship. Did you go out with Mr. Hardy and have dinner together?" Irina asked angrily.
Han Ye-jin smiled.
Walk over to the sofa and sit down.
“Yeah, we didn’t just have dinner.”
"Ah, what else did you do?" Irina asked anxiously.
“We also started a company.”
Irina was stunned.
She never expected the answer: to start a company.
Han Ye-jin told Irina about her experience that afternoon, and then showed her the company registration certificate to her roommate. Irina asked blankly, "Did they set up a company so quickly, and made you the company's head?"
Han Ye-jin shrugged, "Actually, I'm still a little confused now. I feel like things are out of control. I didn't have time to think about it, and things turned out like this."
Irina blinked, hugged her roommate's arm, and said with a smile: "Yezhen, isn't your company recruiting people? What do you think of me?"
"You, it won't affect your studies, right?" Han Yejin said.
"No, I'm going to be a senior soon, and I need work experience, and we're roommates, so it's convenient for me to research company matters, right? You're the general manager of the company now, so just give me a department manager position."
As Irina spoke, she kept rubbing her body against Han Ye-jin's arm.
"Go away, your seduction is useless to me." Han Ye-jin pushed Irina hard, but Irina held on tightly and refused to let go.
"Assistant, you can be my assistant first."
"Oh yeah~~"
Irina cheered in victory.
......
the next day.
Han Ye-jin called Tang Zheng, the boss of the Tang Gang in Los Angeles, and told him that his and his classmates' bags had been returned.
Yesterday, Abao came back and reported what happened to Tang Zhenghui. When he arrived, the thieves had already been caught by Big Ivan of the Bill Gang.
He asked for the lady's bag and she said someone would send it back.
"Yejin, who delivered the bag to you?"
Tang was about to ask who had such great power to mobilize Bill to get the things back. "A new friend, he helped us fight off the thieves when we were in danger that day." Han Yizhen said.
"Oh, so that's how it is. By the way, what's your friend's name?"
"His name is Jon Hardy, what's wrong, Uncle Tang?"
"Oh~it's okay, it's okay. I'm just asking. Since you're okay, Yizhen, you can go to school with peace of mind. If you have any problems, feel free to call your uncle." Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"Okay Uncle Tang, I'm hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Zheng frowned and thought.
Who is this Jon Hardy? Is he the son of a big family in Los Angeles?
In fact, Hardy has never been very famous. When he was in the gang, he was just a small leader. Later, he formed his own team and did things in secret. He eliminated the Spanish Gang and formed Bill's Gang, and directly promoted Bill to be the boss.
Hardy did not leave any reputation in the underworld.
Even now, if you investigate his identity, you can only find out that he is the boss of several companies. The police have no criminal record on him, and the gang has no identity, so he can be said to have a clean record.
......
A few days passed in a flash.
Hardy received a call from Ava Gardner, who told him that the crew had completed filming and would be able to return to Los Angeles in three days at most.
"I'll host a great welcome for you when I get back." Hardy said with a smile.
Just after hanging up the phone, the phone on the desk rang again. When I picked up the receiver, it turned out to be Big Ivan calling.
"Boss, you said to starve those bastards for a week. Now the time is up. What do you want to do with them next?" asked Big Ivan.
Big Ivan is not a very smart guy and he does things straightforwardly, a typical Slav character, but he is very attentive in carrying out orders.
"What happened to those people?" Hardy asked casually.
Big Ivan smiled and said, "At first they cried out of hunger. I know how it feels. It's not pleasant. I'll take them out every two days to teach them a lesson. How can I let them stay comfortably? This is not a vacation."
"When I had nothing to do, I asked them to confess their past wrongdoings. Hahahaha, these guys told me all the bad things they had done in the past."
"The gang has done all kinds of things, including theft, robbery, extortion, fraud, and trouble-making. One gang member confessed that he once broke into a house and saw a couple. He eavesdropped while stealing things, and later found out that the two were having an affair."
"When he was taking something, he accidentally made some noise, and the man came out. The gang simply shot the man to death, and then saw the woman screaming on the bed, and killed her as well."
"Later, because of this incident, the woman's husband was convicted of murder. I heard that he was a banker, the vice president of a bank. There were many reports in the newspapers at the time, causing a sensation."
Hadi thought it was just a joke at first.
But as he listened, he felt something was wrong.
This plot seems familiar.
The thief broke into the house and stole something.
The adulterous man and woman were killed.
The banker was wrongfully imprisoned.
Isn't this the plot of "The Shawshank Redemption"?
"Ivan, what's the name of that thief?" Hardy asked in a deep voice.
"I didn't ask him what his name was?" How could Big Ivan care about the name of a ragtag gangster?
"Don't let any of those people go. I'm coming to your place now," Hardy ordered.
"Okay, boss!"
