The press conference on the White House lawn ended, followed by the White House reception, and everyone was smiling.
Hardy also took this opportunity to meet a lot of people.
The Roosevelts, the Adamses, the Harrisons, the Rockefellers, the Morgans, the Rothschilds, the Hills, the Stillmans….
There are also many heads of large companies, such as Citibank, First National Bank, **** Bank, Morgan Trust, Hannover, New York National Bank of Commerce and so on.
Some people here were not optimistic about Johnson before, and there were even many supporters of Dewey, but today Johnson won re-election and Dewey lost, and these people all came to congratulate.
For them, it was just a failed investment.
It didn't make much difference.
Johnson is victorious, so he should come to build a good relationship.
This is the normal state of the gold master.
Meanwhile, many big names were watching the handsome young man in the crowd, Johnson's biggest apparent supporter, Jon Hardy.
At the age of 27, Hardy is only a junior in their family. Maybe he has just come into contact with some industries, and some of them are still training below, but Hardy has already done a remarkable career.
before,
Hardy is just a fledgling business upstart, an upstart in the eyes of others, but now with this successful investment in Johnson, no one dares to underestimate him.
So what about the big family, didn't they come up step by step like this.
Hardy toasted and chatted with these people, and his manner was not inferior to these veteran family members. In his last life, Hardy was just a small businessman, but in this life, he has grown a lot step by step.
Moreover, he still has the understanding of the world in the next few decades in his mind, and there may not be no possibility of surpassing these families in the future, so his mentality is very relaxed.
Giannini and several Bank of America executives also came. Hardy's victory was also their victory, and the smiles on their faces were even brighter.
The California consortium has been seeking political support all along, but with little success until later generations until Nixon,
Only when you have successfully launched your own interest spokesperson.
Although Hardy invested in Johnson alone this time, Hardy is already one of the core families of the California consortium, which is equivalent to the successful investment of the California consortium. It is impossible for Hardy not to bring the consortium with him for any business in the future.
The only difference is that the core of the California consortium may be shifted to Hardy's side again, and Hardy's voice in the consortium will also be heavier.
After the White House reception, Johnson still had a lot to do. Hardy said goodbye to Johnson and returned to San Francisco with the California consortium.
Why back to San Francisco?
Because Hardy mentioned the "limited universal medical insurance" to Giannini after the reception, Giannini immediately realized that this was another big business, and took Hardy back to discuss.
Giannini estate.
Giannini, Hardy, and the chairman of Ping An Pacific Insurance sat in the study. Hardy said, "Johnson asked me for his opinion on universal medical insurance, and I disagreed."
The universal health insurance plan proposed by Johnson, everyone here is very clear, it was criticized and resisted at the beginning, and the possibility of passing it is almost non-existent, because it touched the cake of all consortiums.
In ancient China, the imperial power was so concentrated that one had to be very careful about touching the cakes of the ministers, and it was impossible to implement them at all, let alone a president who was supported by a consortium.
"I suggested to President Johnson that the policy of 'Limited Universal Health Insurance' can be implemented, and the federal government provide a budget, the state government provide part of the financial subsidies, and then let the people pay part of the insurance premiums themselves, and the tripartite combination purchases insurance."
"And this insurance cannot pay in full, it can only be reimbursed in a limited amount according to a certain percentage, and there is a maximum amount. For example, if you only buy the most basic insurance, the reimbursement amount will not exceed 50%, and the maximum amount is also the same as The amount you buy is linked, as for how to calculate it, that is the job of the actuary of the insurance company."
"President Johnson is very interested in my proposal, because the kind of universal medical insurance he proposed before is too idealistic. It is unrealistic for the rich to take the initiative to feed the poor, but this plan hardly touches the rich. Cakes do give certain benefits to the poor."
"As for insurance companies, they can get money from the federal government and the state government, and then collect part of it from the public. This business is definitely profitable. As for some people, the medical insurance is too low and cannot satisfy them at all. It doesn’t matter if you have medical insurance requirements, you can buy commercial medical insurance.”
"And in order to cooperate with this 'limited universal medical insurance', we can also ask the federal government and the state government for policies, such as tax cuts."
Giannini and the chairman of Ping An Pacific Insurance Company couldn't help but nod their heads. If calculated in this way, the passability of this medical insurance is much higher, and the medical insurance company is also profitable. It is indeed a good business.
"How much share can you get, Hardy?" Giannini asked.
Hardy held up three fingers.
"Estimated to get 30%." Hardy said.
Now the United States has a population of 150 million, and the third achievement is about 50 million. Even if only $100 is collected from these people every year, it is still a $5 billion business. Calculated according to the previous profit rate of 20%~30% of medical insurance, then That's more than $1 billion in profit.
Wealth touches hearts,
Even big bankers like Giannini are excited about the income.
"Hadi, what are your thoughts?" Giannini asked.
Since Hardy mentioned this matter to him, he did not intend to eat alone. Of course, Hardy was still in charge of this matter, which could not be changed.
"I have two options. One is for Wells Fargo's insurance business to take over the business, and then subcontract it to Bank of America and Safe Pacific."
Giannini and the chairman of Safe Pacific were noncommittal.
After being passed by Wells Fargo, the profit will be much less, and then the business has to be handed over to them, and they have to do all the dirty work. How could they be willing.
"The second is that the three of us will form a new company, each will contribute funds, and we will discuss the shareholding ratio and take over the business together."
"That's a good idea."
Hardy's voice just fell, and the two of Giannini agreed immediately.
Equal pay for equal work.
The last three agreed to set up a large insurance company, each with a capital contribution of 100 million US dollars, Wells Fargo holds 40% of the shares, and Bank of America and Safe Pacific Insurance each hold 30%, which will be jointly operated by the three.
Why does Hardy hold a lot of shares, because he is the most critical person to make this business, without him, there would be no business.
The other two not only have to pay, but also some insurance resources, which is why they can get 30% of the shares.
Wells Fargo is too weak in insurance, and the other two are really national insurers.
As for the specific details, Hardy will be handed over to the Wells Fargo bank. It is still in the initial stage. The government has not yet passed it. It is estimated that it will take about half a year to make the trip.
Saying goodbye to Giannini, Hardy went to Las Vegas.
Before the presidential election, Hardy let the casino open a bet on the outcome of the election, and finally, by the deadline, more than 50 million bets were placed.
Although Johnson got up a little bit, there were still people optimistic about Dewey, and Dewey's odds were much higher than Johnson's, which made many gamblers excited, so there were a lot of people who pressed Dewey.
Now that the results of the general election have come out, Johnson has won re-election, and all those who pressed Dewey have lost. After calculation, the casino has made a total profit of 15.68 million US dollars.
This is 15 million in 1948, and many people are envious of it.
certainly,
This money is not his own. He only owns more than 30% of the casino, and the Corleones and Bank of America also hold a lot of shares. They can also make a lot of money.
The old godfather made a special call to Hardy, and the two chatted happily on the phone. Now the old godfather has handed over all the black business of the family to Tom, while he himself focuses on contacting the upper class and politicians.
Paving the way for my son's future.
Now that Mike has entered Johnson's White House government agency, serving as assistant to the president and director of the liaison office, Johnson is re-elected. His position can continue, working in the White House, and being in a core position, which is definitely an excellent training opportunity for Mike.
The old godfather has more and more hope for the future of the family, so he lives more energetically than before.
"Hadi, Mike's first child is about to be born. I have a request, I hope you can be the child's godfather?" said the old godfather.
The tone is sincere, with a hint of request.
"Of course, I am very willing to be the godfather of Mike's children." Hardy agreed very simply.
The old godfather smiled on the phone, "Haha, my unborn grandson now has a good godfather, and I'm happy for him."
Putting down the phone Hardy smiled softly.
He felt very interesting. The world he had traveled through might be the godfather world, but now he has become the godfather of Mike's son.
Wonderful feeling.
Are you the godfather of this world?
......
Today, the business of Hardy's casino is getting better and better. It receives tens of thousands of tourists and gamblers every day, but it also sucks the business of other casinos.
It caused a lot of complaints from the Mafia family.
certainly,
The families who formed the 'Venetian Casino' with Hardy were happier because they were looking forward to the future more and more.
The business of Hardy's Casino is so good. After the bigger Venetian is built in the future, the business will definitely be better.
And there is also the TV lottery business, and this business alone will definitely not accompany the money.
This also polarized the casinos on the Las Vegas side. The family that invested in Hardy hoped that Las Vegas would become more and more prosperous, while the families who did not invest chose to follow Basini to invest in Cuba. , regard there as the future.
Perhaps only Hardy in this world knows that this investment is destined to be a loss-making business. There will be trouble there in two years at most, and Basini's investment is destined to be lost.
a few days ago,
Hadi heard the news that there was an anti-imperialist conference in Cuba, and there was bloodshed. He knew that this incident was one of the signs and fuses of a future military coup in Cuba.
Hadi's post-war material sales company also had operations in Cuba. He heard reports from his subordinates that they had come into contact with a group of people who privately purchased a batch of weapons and supplies with a lot of money. Hadi guessed at the time that it might be a future riot. of those people.
Hardy is happy to see who the weapons are sold to.
We do not support or oppose it. We are a merchant who sells goods, but he still told me that this is a long-term cooperation line. Don’t break it. If the other party continues to buy equipment, you can sell it to them at a discount.
......
Bill is in Las Vegas. When he heard that Hardy was coming, he rushed over, "Boss, the proxy investment company has been settled. Now it is divided into three, and the number of operators is increasing. Now there are more than two thousand people."
The business of proxy investment companies has exploded these days.
The hardy casino won the lawsuit, and the television lottery proxy investment business became legal, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of people across the United States to participate in the lottery.
What kind of business is the easiest to make money?
That is, a business that covers a wider range of people’s lives is more profitable. If 1 million people bet, even if they only invest the minimum of 100 US dollars, it is a 100 million US dollar business. If 10 million people play, it is 1 billion US dollars. business.
This is also the reason why Internet companies in later generations can rise so quickly, because they use a network to connect people all over the world and make money from people all over the world.
