Hardy Empire 1945

Each of these people has a list in their hands. They are going to come one by one. Hardy pointed to the first name on the list and said,

"Yokosuka Naval Shipyard, located near Tokyo Bay, is also one of the four largest shipyards in Japan. How much do you think it is worth?"

At this time, the person in charge of the Mellon Consortium said: "When Japan was building the Yokosuka Shipyard, it used to purchase equipment from the shipbuilding equipment company under the Mellon Consortium and was guided by us. If I remember correctly, the total investment in the Yokosuka Shipyard that year , It’s about 45 million U.S. dollars in U.S. dollars."

"As for the current price, even if it is damaged, there is still $8 million." The representative of the Mellon consortium gave a very low price.

The others have no objection.

The price is indeed very low.

Hardy thought for a while, and said, "What do you think of it at $3.85 million?"

There is a strong Douyin posture of "close your mouth, I'll say a number, and get in the car right away".

Everyone's eyes widened.

I rely on.

One-tenth of the price is a bit too cruel.

but,

These capitalists felt even more excited, and every cell in their bodies trembled and shouted.

This feeling of knocking down the price is so cool.

After all, they are the buyers next, and the cheaper the price, the less they will pay and the more they will make.

Everyone go on.

Hardy said the second name.

"The Yokohama Mitsubishi Shipyard, located in Yokohama, has produced many aircraft carriers and battleships. The shipbuilding strength is not worse than that of the Yokosuka Shipyard. What prices do you think should be offered."

"US$4.5 million?" The vice president of Morgan Stanley said tentatively.

Good guy,

The upside is the limit reserve price. This guy seems to have mastered Hardy's true intentions, that is, to lower prices and make money together.

"How about 3.68 million?" Hardy asked.

"agree!"

"The price is good."

"write down."

Pricing continues.

Kawasaki Shipyard, 3.55 million US dollars.

Wugang Naval Shipyard, because it is too close to Hiroshima, Hiroshima was bombed by an atomic bomb, and it is still in ruins. The price of 1 million is expensive.

Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard, Wugang Naval Shipyard's hard brother, Nagasaki also suffered a nuclear bombing, still no one wants to buy it.

Asano Shipyard.

Sasebo Naval Shipyard.

......

When the shipyard has set the price and it is the turn of the aircraft manufacturer, the American military industry has no interest in Japanese aircraft. After all, Japanese aircraft have been severely beaten by American aircraft on the battlefield, and American aircraft manufacturers look down on Japanese aircraft companies.

The price is lower.

Next is the military automotive companies.

Military steel company.

These people were so busy that it was evening, and Hardy asked him to arrange dinner. After dinner, these people continued to discuss pricing.

Busy till late at night,

A list of prices for the list of US military assets seized by the United States was officially released, and the final calculated price was US$570 million.

In fact, they have been desperate to keep prices down. The main reason is that there are too many companies involved. There are more than 300 companies in total, and each of these companies is worth more than 1 million US dollars.

"Everyone, it's very late. Let's take a rest. How about we continue to study how to deal with these enterprises tomorrow?"

Everyone agrees.

Leave with a happy mood.

These people came early the next day.

After everyone sat down, Hardy said: "We all know that the actual value of these companies is much greater than our pricing. Now there are two problems. One is to push the Congress to pass this pricing, which requires the seven of us to act together."

Everyone nodded and said it was okay.

No matter whether it is Rockefeller or Morgan, they have an extremely heavy voice in Congress. What's more, there are several other consortia. The seven major consortia in the United States are working together. What is the probability that Congress will pass it?

It's easier than electing the president anyway.

"Another point is how the profit is distributed. My idea is that we divide the equity together so that everyone can form a whole. I don't know if everyone agrees?" Hardy said.

If everyone buys separately and each buys the company that looks good, Hardy feels that his power will be dispersed.

In the end it will become a battle of their own.

Hardy’s idea is that in these companies, everyone holds a certain proportion of shares, so that they can continue to deepen cooperation and form a joint force, and everyone can earn money, and the future operations of these companies can be entrusted to a company to complete .

At this time, the vice president of Morgan Stanley said: "Mr. Hardy, I agree with you that it is the most beneficial for everyone to invest and hold stocks together. But there is a problem. All of the more than 300 companies are held by us. It’s so obvious that both the U.S. government and the Japanese government will be very wary of us."

Any form of monopoly will be paid attention to by the government.

Although their model is a cross-shareholding model, it is still a consortium model, which is equivalent to establishing a new consortium in Japan. It may be difficult for the US government and the Japanese government to accept it.

Hardy has already had mature ideas, and it can be said that this kind of cross-shareholding to form a new consortium is deliberately created by Hardy, and his purpose is to promote offshore companies.

"Everyone, do you know if I became a Baron of Cayman?" Hardy asked.

Someone smiled, "Of course I heard that the newspaper also mentioned the relationship between Mr. Hardy and Princess Margaret. We are very curious, but out of politeness, I have not been embarrassed to ask. Does Mr. Hardy want to explain to us? Doubt?"

Hardy waved his hand quickly.

"This is really a rumor scandal."

"What I want to say is that after I became the Governor of the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands gained the right to autonomous territory, including administrative, law-making, taxation, and diplomatic rights."

"In the future, I intend to turn the Cayman Islands into a place with no personal income tax, no corporate income tax, no capital gains tax, and no real property tax."

All of you here are financial tycoons. Hearing Hardy said that he would exempt these heavy taxes, his eyes lighted up and someone immediately said: "Then if you set up a company in the Cayman Islands and do import and export trade, the capital will be in Cayman. Turnover of the islands will save a lot of tax."

You know, high taxes sometimes reach 35%, which is one-third of the profit, especially for large transactions, designing trades of millions, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions, this is not a small amount of money.

"As for the specific details of Cayman, I will talk to you in detail in a while. When we go back to the Japanese investment company this time, we can register hundreds of companies in the Cayman Islands, and then use these companies to buy control of Japanese companies. right."

"As for companies on the Cayman Island, the principle of the Cayman Self-Government is strict confidentiality and does not disclose any shareholder information, including the US and British governments, and there is no foreign exchange control in the Cayman Islands."

"For these companies, we can carry out cross-shareholding. As for how to operate, I believe it is a very easy thing for any bank or financial management institution, right."

The others finally understood what Hardy meant.

If it is true as Hardy said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ there is no tax, highly confidential information, and no foreign exchange control, then the Cayman Islands is simply a paradise for investment enterprises.

They can be more open to manipulation with Japan, and if they make money in Japan in the future, they don’t need to take it back to the United States. They save high taxes. When the money is used for overseas investment, they can directly pay from Cayman. Become a reasonable and legal investment haven.

Not only the investment in Japan this time, but also the investment of several major consortia abroad, you can also do the same. Open another company in Cayman and hold shares in its overseas assets, so that the money will flow into the account in Cayman, and it will be saved. Go for big taxes.

American entrepreneurs and the U.S. Taxation Office have fought wits and courage for hundreds of years, and have been crushed to death. Hardy suddenly came up with such a method, as if opening a window as big as the sky in the hearts of these people.

It's just wonderful.

The vice president of Morgan Stanley asked eagerly: "Mr. Hardy, I agree with your proposal of co-investing in cross-shareholding. I would like to hear all your regulations on the financial management of the Cayman Islands. The more detailed the better."

Others nodded.

Now their interest in the Cayman Islands has been greater than their interest in Japanese investment.
