"Ring Ling Ling ~!"

The phone on the desk rang.

Hardy picked it up and answered, "I'm Jon Hardy."

"Hardy, I'm Siegel, and I'm back in Los Angeles." Siegel's voice was a little low on the phone.

"Where are you, Mr. Siegel?" Hardy asked.

"I'm here with Fred."

Even if the Flamingo Casino fails, Siegel still has the Jewish Gang, and the Bill Gang, the titular offshoot of the gang, not yet destitute.

"I am going now."

Hardy drove to Fred's house. Fred's house is similar to Taylor's house. Although it is not a manor, it is also not a small villa.

in the library,

Siegel was smoking a cigarette and looked a little lonely. From the beginning, he was preparing to build Las Vegas, full of passion, and then encountered numerous problems, and finally ended in failure, even if Siegel was tough, he felt uncomfortable.

"So many things happened on the opening day, and I had a hunch at the time that I might fail this time, and it really failed in the end, alas." Siegel sighed.

"It's not too bad, at least the casino is still there, and it can open again in the future." Hardy advised.

"Yes, that's what I thought. I will continue to complete the construction of the flamingo according to the previous plan. I believe that the flamingo will be reborn from the ashes." Siegel gritted his teeth.

After Hardy heard Siegel's words, he suddenly had a hunch in his heart that this guy might have to borrow money from him again.

"Hadi, I found a lot of friends, but they all said there was no way, I hope you can help me." Siegel looked at Hardy and said.

"You said Mr. Siegel." Hardy said.

"Lend me $2 million and use all the flamingo shares in my hand as collateral. I believe that when the construction is completed, the casino will be profitable, and the money will be returned to you soon." Siegel said.

I really guessed myself.

And it will cost 2 million to open the mouth.

Siegel must have looked for others before, and it is estimated that others did not agree to borrow money. In the end, he had no choice but to use the last shares as collateral.

But the Flamingo Casino has failed once, and everyone is not optimistic about its future, so Siegel has not been able to lend money.

"Each of the three families is 13%. You bought 18% of the shares before, and I still have 43% of the shares. This time I'm going to use the 43% of the shares to mortgage you to borrow 2 million. How about Hadi?" Gerr said again.

Hardy was silent for a moment.

2 million, he can really get it.

His industry is basically making money lately, and the stock price is soaring, which is one of the reasons Siegel came to him, knowing that he could come up with the money.

As for the money invested in filming, you can ask the film company to make investment loans. As long as your film company is doing well, the bank is willing to lend you money. The eight major film companies also use this model to make films. A few can be taken out.

Can Siegel succeed?

"Mr. Siegel, I don't have so much money now, so let's let Playboy magazine lend you the two million. How about the money mortgage agreement between you and Playboy magazine?" Hardy said. .

Hardy takes money from the company and needs to pay taxes. It is better to let Playboy magazine directly invest the money.

Hardy is Playboy's largest shareholder, accounting for more than 90% of the total share capital. Playboy's investment in casinos is equivalent to Hardy's investment.

Siegel smiled. "Thank you Hardy."

"You are too kind."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, and Siegel smiled more, chatting with Hardy about Playboy magazine.

"Hadi, I have to say that your idea is really brilliant. I have also seen "Playboy", and the beautiful photos on it are really attractive, different from the feeling of Chi Guoguo, half-covered and half-covered sexy and sultry is more attractive It's hard to resist." Siegel said with a smile.

"By the way, "Playboy" should be very profitable, right?" Siegel asked.

"One for $1."

"How many copies are sold in one issue now?"

"More than 200,000 copies."

Siegel was a little surprised when he heard it, "That year, I made more than 2 million profits. I worked hard in the casino, invested more than 8 million, and I am still losing money. You just made a magazine and made more than me. Much, hey."

Siegel sighed. Now he doesn't treat Hardy as his younger brother. He has developed to this point in just one or two years. There are several such abilities in the United States.

In fact, I have benefited more from my relationship with him. If it weren't for such a younger brother, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to support it now.

"Mr. Siegel, why don't you live in the manor, where I renovated it and haven't moved in yet, are you used to living there?" Hardy invited.

Siegel shook his head.

"Forget it, I'll go back to Las Vegas soon after I get the money," Siegel said.

"Then I will let the accountants and lawyers of Playboy go through the formalities as soon as possible." Hardy said.

The next day, Siegel mortgaged his 43% stake in Flamingo Casino, got two million funds from Playboy, and rushed back to Las Vegas.

So far.

Hardy already owns 61 percent of Flamingo Casino.

certainly,

The 43% stake in Playboy is only mortgaged. When Siegel repays the money, these shares will be returned, and only an interest will be charged.

However, there is also a stipulation in the agreement that if Siegel does not return the mortgage and interest for three years, the casino shares will belong to "Playboy" magazine.

......

March 13.

The annual Academy Awards are held.

The venue is the Holy Citizen Auditorium in Los Angeles.

More grand than the Golden Globe Awards two months ago, countless audience members and reporters gathered outside the auditorium, and every time a star appeared, there would be a burst of cheers.

The female stars dressed beautifully one by one, becoming the most beautiful scenery tonight.

"Wow~~~, it's Ingrid Bergman, the holy goddess in my heart." Ingrid Bergman got out of the car, and the audience cheered loudly.

"It's Vivien Leigh, Scarlett, Scarlett, we love you!"

Vivien Leigh smiled and waved to the audience.

"Wow, it's Rita Hayworth, my sexy goddess."

When it was Hardy's turn to enter, Hardy got out of the car first, gave a gentleman's drop-off salute, and Ava Gardner walked down.

It's not over yet,

Then came another person, Elizabeth Taylor, who was also wearing a beautiful princess dress today.

Next came the third person, Heidi Rama, who was a little more dignified today, but still charming.

Hardy walked the red carpet with three women.

The four walked forward, the audience saw Ava Gardner cheering, and many people shouted Ava's name. Ava is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling actresses this year. The Cabro Bazaar became a classic, and Ava was definitely a contender for tonight's Best Original Song award.

Heidi Rama also has a lot of fans, especially the first issue of "Playboy", which brought the once outdated Heidi Rama back to the public view again. Although she is over 30 years old, she is still in the hearts of many people. sexy goddess.

In contrast, the future Queen of Hollywood, Elizabeth Taylor, looks a bit bleak. After all, she is only a child star, and she has not had any good works in the past two or three years. People are almost forgetting her.

Entering the venue, Taylor tugged Hardy's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Hardy, in the future, I will make everyone cheer my name."

Hardy smiled and whispered back in Taylor's ear: "I believe you can do it, and I will help you too."

Taylor's little disappointment just now was wiped out by Hardy's words and turned back into a happy Elizabeth.

Because of Hardy's reasons, their seats are relatively front, which is a good position, and ordinary actors do not have this kind of treatment.

The award ceremony begins.

This time, "Red Dead Redemption" won a total of 7 nominations, including Best Actor Award, Best Picture Award, Best Screenplay Award, Best Original Song Award, Best Director Award, Best Cinematography Award, Best Film Award clip.

It's a pity that both Eastwood and Nolan missed out on the Best Actor and Best Director awards, but the two are already very happy to be nominated for an Oscar, which is already a very big affirmation for them.

Best Picture went to "The Golden Age".

Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing also went to him.

Red Dead Redemption, however, has no air force and won best screenplay and best original song.

Hardy took the stage to accept the award and received a burst of warm applause. Now HD Pictures has become a very high-ranking company in Hollywood, and Hardy still controls so many industries, and all of these were created in just two years. Let him Become a Hollywood legend.

Ava Gardner then took the stage to accept the award.

Holding the statuette Ava choked a little, "The person I want to thank the most is Mr. Hardy, who discovered and cultivated me, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to stand on this stage."

After speaking, she wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "I'll tell you a little secret, the company has never revealed who the songwriter of "Scarborough Fair" is, I'm going to announce it today, it's actually Mr. Hardy. "

Wow wow wow~~!

The stars in the audience exclaimed.

Almost everyone here has heard of Scarborough Fair, and they all like that song. I didn't expect such a beautiful song to be created by Hardy.

"By the way, there is also the whistle of "Red Dead Redemption". I don't know if anyone remembers it. It's also Hardy's work."

wow~~!

The crowd in the audience was amazed again.

Heart said that the big boss of HD security is really multi-talented and multi-billion.

Immediately, everyone thought of Barbie and "Playboy". How can people who can create these two things have no talent.

......

There will be a reception at the end of the awards show.

Hundreds of stars participated in a grand event. Hardy met many stars he had never seen before, and many of them took the initiative to greet him, wanting to take the opportunity to get to know this new Hollywood boss.

When he returned, Hardy was already a little drunk.

Take Taylor and Heidi Rama home, Hardy and Ava go back to their residence, and the woman carefully waits for Hardy to take off his clothes and change into pajamas.

Before going to bed, there were two little golden figures at the head of the bed. Ava looked at the little golden figures and smiled, her biggest dream in life was fulfilled.

Get up early in the morning.

Ava was in a suspender dress and was making breakfast when the bedside phone rang and Hardy picked it up in a daze.

"I'm Hardy."

"Hardy, I'm Mike, and I need your help." Mike Corleone's low voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hardy woke up immediately.

"Mike, what happened?"

"My father was assassinated yesterday. Two killers shot him more than a dozen times. My father was shot 5 times. Fortunately, he didn't die and is still in a coma.

I went to the hospital last night and found that someone was going to kill him. There is no one around me that I can trust. Can you help me, Hadi? "Mike said solemnly.

Hardy was shocked. The godfather was assassinated. Could it be that the godfather plot broke out?

"Mike, don't worry, I promise to be in New York tonight, protect Mr. Corleone, and discuss other matters when I arrive in New York." Hardy said.

"Thank you Hardy."

"No thanks, we are best friends!"
