Hardy Empire 1945

"Mr. Hardy, if you want to obtain the management right of the Cayman Islands, you must become a British citizen. Our idea is that you join the United Kingdom and obtain British citizenship. Your Majesty the King will grant you a knighthood, and then give you the Cayman Islands. You become the Governor of the Cayman Islands at the same time, so it is legally legal."

Hearing that he was about to transfer to British nationality, Hardy hesitated.

Does he have any attachments to American citizenship? The main reason is that he has to make money in the United States. It would be very troublesome to not have American identity.

"Is dual citizenship okay?" Hardy asked.

"Of course you can. The main reason is that foreigners cannot be formally conferred knighthoods, only honorary knighthoods. Honorary knighthoods are not suitable for fiefdoms, so you need to join the United Kingdom." Minister Lambert said.

Hardy thought for a while. He didn't know whether dual citizenship would affect him, especially in economics. If there were too many things involved, he would not agree.

"About nationality, I want to go back and discuss with the group team. You know that Hardy Group is not mine alone, and it involves all aspects of interest. Also, what are you going to offer in the Cayman Islands?" Hardy asked for the price. .

Minister Lan Bai smiled, "I just said that it was given by the king, not sold."

This sentence reminded Hardy to ask for a statue of Buddha.

Can't be called to buy,

Call please.

This one was not bought, it was bestowed by the king.

Hardy knows,

Sometimes this statement is more expensive than directly spending money.

"Then you can talk about the conditions, Minister Lambert." Hardy said.

"The government hopes that Wells Fargo will provide the UK with a loan of 100 million U.S. dollars and at the same time purchase 100 million U.S. dollars of 5-year treasury bonds." Minister Lan Bai said.

Hardy said heartily.

It's **** better to buy it. If you only buy this island, the normal price is only ten to twenty million US dollars.

And Hardy also knows a hidden danger, that is, the king's gift, it is not as strong as the sales relationship, and it is more accepted by the world's laws. What if someone stands up and says that this gift is unreasonable and must be revoked.

Trading is different. There is a contract and the whole world must agree.

Even if you are not the governor, and without management rights, the land is your own private.

Hardy said:

"It can be granted by the king in name, but I request a formal contract of sale and purchase with the British government."

Minister Lan Bai thought for a while, "This should be fine."

"Also, the price you opened is too high. A loan of 100 million treasury bonds and 100 million US dollars for investment can double the profits for me in five years. The Cayman Islands is definitely not worth US$200 million."

The two parties decided to discuss the price issue later.

Today is only a preliminary contact, and there are problems to go back to negotiate. After Hardy resigned from Minister Lambert, he went to the Telegraph Office to send a telegram to the United States to inform Andy to bring the financial and lawyer team over.

This is a big deal.

Two days after Andy rushed to the UK with someone in a hurry, in the hotel room, Hardy told Andy and the lawyer in detail about the matter.

"If I get dual citizenship, will it do me any harm?" Hardy asked.

The lawyer said: "You will not be affected politically when you obtain British citizenship. After all, both countries recognize dual citizenship, but there is some relationship in taxation."

"Of course, most taxes are based on the principle of territorial payment. The company pays taxes wherever the company is. However, there are some special taxes that may involve double taxation issues, but these problems can be avoided through operation."

"That's okay?"

"Yes, no problem."

After letting the lawyer out, only Hardy and Andy were left in the room. Andy looked at his boss and asked: "Boss, why suddenly remembered to buy an island in the Caribbean? What are your plans?"

Hardy poured a glass of wine for Andy, and said with a smile: "Isn't it cool to open a casino, get a tourist area, and an autonomous territory?"

Andy looked at Hardy, "I feel you have deeper thoughts."

Hardy chuckled and took a sip of wine.

"If that island is completely owned by us and has autonomy, opening a casino is only one aspect. Our HD security can also use it as a base to build stronger armed forces, right, because we have the right to form an army."

"That island is overseas. What's the most convenient for money laundering? We can develop it into a money laundering center. Of course, to legally launder money, you need financial experts to find a way."

Hardy naturally wanted to turn the Cayman Islands into an offshore paradise like the future.

In later Cayman, more than 50 banks opened bank offices on the island, with more than 100,000 registered companies and more than US$3 trillion in capital.

This is still obvious.

secretly,

There are more things that can be manipulated.

For example, in drug transactions, money is transferred from one company to another. There is no supervision in Cayman. Drug transactions do not need to directly transfer money, but to overseas accounts. It is simply convenient to transfer the freight.

The same can be said for overseas bulk commodity smuggling.

In future generations, the amount of money laundered in the world will be trillions, and it may even reach three trillion. This is a terrifying number.

If Wells Fargo Bank is built on the island, the money will be circulated in Wells Fargo Bank, which is equivalent to that the money will always be in the bank. Hardy has the right to transfer this money. Think about how powerful this money can be.

When playing financial investment, a country is afraid.

"In fact, it doesn't need to be as big as the site, as long as he is completely under our control. This is the biggest role of the Cayman Islands." Hardy said.

Andy looked at his boss with shock.

He really didn't expect the boss to have such a huge plan.

The offending company.

Tax avoidance.

Money laundering.

Independently master financial channels.

Andy feels excited when he thinks about it. In this case, the Hardy Group can definitely become the best company in the world.

Even the Rockefeller and Morgan families are jealous.

Hardy patted Andy, who was a little excited, and said: "This is just a long-term plan. If you want to achieve that step, there is still a lot to go. I am afraid it will take more than ten or two decades. The problem to be solved now is that we have to Take down the Cayman Islands at the cheapest price."

"After all, I will go to Japan to invest next time, and that will also require a lot of capital, and I can't run out of funds on the British side at once." Hardy said.

The Minister of Finance reported to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on the exchange situation. The two sides did not have much disagreement, except for the price issue, and the two sides decided to negotiate another day.

Now that Andy is here, the negotiation is naturally entrusted to him as a professional.

In the past two days, Andy led the financial team and the team of lawyers to draw up a series of negotiating outlines, including the ownership of the Cayman Islands, the land ownership of other residents on the island, various legal rights of autonomous territories, and so on.

They won't let it go anyway.

A few days later, the two sides began formal negotiations. Although they were negotiating with the other's Ministry of Finance, the people of the Hadi Group did not persuade them at all.

There are several problems.

There are about 3,000 residents on the island. Among the more than 3,000 people, 30% are whites, 30% are blacks, and 40% are mixed.

These three thousand people all live in Georgetown, Grand Cayman, the largest of the three islands. They occupy a lot of land. How can this be calculated? After all, Cayman is not a big island?

Hardy doesn't care how they talk.

Invited by Princess Margaret on this day, she took Taylor to the Royal Ranch Manor outside London. It covers an area of ​​more than 4,000 hectares. Today's activity is horse-riding and hunting.

When Taylor and Hardy came, they both wore outdoor outfits. The equipment room had various pistols and shotguns. According to his habits, Hardy wore a cowboy belt with a revolver on it, which was used for close defense.

The shotgun in his hand is James Purdey & Sons, which is a shotgun used by the British royal family and is definitely a luxury item.

The three rode horses and ran forward along the dirt road in the forest.

Margaret deliberately showed off her riding skills, so Hardy could have caught up with her if she took the lead, but he had to take care of Taylor, so the speed was consistent with Taylor.

"Ah~~ Bang!"

There was a scream in front of him.

Hardy was startled, and immediately shouted to Taylor: "You wait here." After that, he urged the horses to run in the direction Margaret called.

In fact, they are not far away, only about two hundred meters. After running a corner, Marguerite is sitting on the ground. Her horse has already run away. There is a dark figure on the dirt road. He was running away.

Hardy saw it was a black bear.

Hurrying to Margaret, Hardy jumped off the horse. Margaret was annoyed and clutched her ankle. "I didn't pay attention at all. There was a black bear on the side of the road. It suddenly stood up and the horse frightened. With a jump, I was frightened and shaken off the horse."

"I saw the black bear and hurriedly fired a shot, and the guy ran away."

After listening to Margaret’s description, Hardy felt funny in his heart. It was a coincidence. The horses they rode were trained to not be afraid of bears. No one thought that the bear was not in the woods, but on the side of the road. .

Suddenly the horse saw that it was very close and was not mentally prepared at all, so he was frightened and threw Marguerite down.

"Where is it hurt?" Hardy knelt down and asked.

"The ankle is here."

Yes, you die before you leave the school.

The hunt was over before it even started. Hardy picked up Princess Margaret and put it on his horse, then stepped on the horse, holding the princess in one hand and the reins, turning the horse's head and walking back.

As for Margaret's horse, she was frightened and ran a long way, turning her head and letting the hunting ground handle it.

With Hardy in her arms, Margaret suddenly felt a strange emotion, as if the feeling of love had reappeared.

This feeling of leaning in his arms is really comfortable.

Soon after he came to Taylor's side, Taylor saw Hardy holding Margaret, the two came back on a horse, and quickly asked: "What's wrong with Margaret?"

"I just met a bear, and the horse fell off her in fright. Her foot was injured a bit. Let's go back quickly." Hardy said.

Tyler watched Margaret leaning against Hardy's arms, and suddenly it tasted like a snack, "Margaret, would you like to ride on my horse?"

"No, Hardy's horse is very comfortable." After Margaret finished speaking, she secretly winked at Taylor.

Taylor snorted softly.

Give her a roll of eyes.

On the way back, he walked very slowly, afraid of bumping into Margaret's feet. Now I don't know whether the injury is serious or not, Margaret leaned in Hardy's arms.

"Hadi, I heard my sister say that you are going to buy an island, the prime minister will let you become a British citizen, and then you will become a nobleman, and then grant you the position of governor, is that true? Are you going to become a British?" Margaret asked .

"Dual nationality." Hardy said.

"Why don't I make you my knight?" Margaret said with a smile.

Your knight?

I will ride you.

"If you want to be granted a title, you must be a baron or above, so this time it is very likely to be a baron, and you need your father to grant the title." Hardy said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and went back to the bedroom to undergo a doctor's examination. It was a sprain. The problem is not serious, but it takes about half a month to keep up, during which time you can't do strenuous exercise.

OK,

Now the princess is honest.

......

Two days later.

The negotiations had preliminary results. Hardy became British nationality, was conferred the title of Baron, and sealed the Cayman Islands as Hardy's fief, and Hardy was the permanent governor of the Cayman Islands.

The Cayman Islands belong to the Commonwealth and have full autonomy.

All the land on the island is legally owned by Hardy. Those that are already in private hands, Hardy has the right to take it back. Of course, it is not long that they must be given an appropriate price.

In other words, Hardy has the legal right to demolition and can take back the land held by other people at any time. As for the appropriate price, it is his governor who decides.

The price of all this is the purchase of island land to pay 10 million U.S. dollars.

It also bought 60 million British government bonds and loaned 50 million to the Bank of Scotland for 5 years, calculated at normal interest.

For the United Kingdom, a small island in the Caribbean Sea, with a total of only 260 square kilometers, can exchange 120 million U.S. dollars in funds. They feel that they have made a lot of money.

And Hardy also felt that he had made a profit.

In fact, the title of aristocracy in Britain is not valuable. Thousands of people can obtain the title of aristocracy every year. As long as you have money, you are not a noble or a noble. Hardy was an ordinary person before. In the United States, Britain, and Japan, no one dares to look down upon.

What he cares about is the autonomy of the Cayman Islands.

With autonomy, everything that could not be played before can be played. Hardy was excited. He felt that the ‘Hadi Financial Empire’ was beckoning to him.
