The Tyrant Billionaire

He went to the bank to complete the paperwork and quickly got the papers to pick up his truck. Since he was a veteran, the first two months of payments were waived, which saved him $100. White was grateful for this Hardy's company had always offered special policies for veterans.

First, it was televisions, and now it was trucks. Hardy Group had a great reputation among veterans.

White found a friend with a motorcycle to drive him over 100 kilometers to the nearest armory, where many people had already gathered.

White bought a White 666. This was the same model he had driven in the army. He knew it was tough and could carry a lot. Even though it was rated for 6 tons, he had loaded up to 16 tons before.

After presenting the vehicle pick up documents, the on duty soldier allowed him to enter and choose a truck himself. He could drive away with whichever truck he fancied. This pleasantly surprised White, who hadn't expected to be able to choose one himself.

Rows upon rows of trucks were parked there, with many others already selecting theirs. White was familiar with this type of truck, and quickly chose the one that seemed the best. He started it up smoothly and drove away. At the gate, he showed the pick up documents, and the truck successfully exited.

"Yahoo~!"

White shouted excitedly.

He finally had his own truck, and its performance was excellent, probably about 80% new. He figured it could last another ten years without breaking down.

He and his friend loaded the motorcycle onto the truck bed, and the two of them sang all the way home as they drove the truck.

...

The Hardy Group registered a new shipping company, and you could probably guess the name.

Hardy Shipping Company.

It was a wholly owned subsidiary, with Hardy holding 100% of the shares.

On the second day after the company was established, it signed a contract worth 1.68 billion dollars to purchase 662 'decommissioned' cargo ships from the military.

Among them were 535 Liberty ships and 127 Victory ships.

The latest repayment date could not extend beyond March 1958.

At this time, the American military was truly wealthy. In any other country, these assets would have been treated like treasures and put to good use. But for them, these items were a burden. Both the military and the government had only one thought: how to dispose of them as quickly as possible.

They had even adopted many extreme methods to go through with that thought, for example, pushing a large number of tanks into the sea, throwing 14,000 tons of bombs into the Gulf of Mexico for explosion experiments, and scuttling ships after drilling holes in them.

As for dismantling and selling as scrap metal, forget it.

Dismantling requires a cost, and scrap metal isn't worth much; it's easier to just dump it.

Besides, arms dealers were also quite rich and had a lot of say in Washington in this era, If the military doesn't consume materials, how can they make money?

Hardy had just returned to Los Angeles when he suddenly received a call from Bill. "Boss, something's come up in San Francisco."

"What's the situation?"

"You know we have smuggling channels, right? Recently, our people discovered that someone has been shipping large quantities of military supplies onto a ship. I sent someone to investigate secretly, and it turns out that there are a lot of firearms and medical supplies, including a large number of medical kits."

Hardy suddenly remembered that a few days ago, someone had bought a large quantity of first aid medical kits from him.

"Do you know whose goods they are?"

"They belong to the Brazilian gang."

...

A few days later.

Bill contacted the current vice leader of the Brazilian gang, Antonio Salamone.

Antonio Salamone was a bit surprised when he heard that Hardy wanted to meet him.

Could it be that the other party found out about the gang's operations involving weapons and medical supplies and wanted to cause trouble?

But that's not right, it should be a matter for the U.S. government.

Besides, the Los Angeles gang is Hardy's property, and the Brazilian gang has had a good relationship with the Los Angeles gang since Los Angeles, even before they expanded their influence to San Francisco. Logically, this Hardy boss shouldn't be looking for trouble.

In any case, since the other party wanted to meet him, he would see him first and then figure it out. Antonio Salamone agreed to Bill's request, "I would also like to meet Mr. Hardy. Where should we meet?"

"The boss said to meet in San Francisco. What do you think, Mr. Antonio?" Bill replied.

"Okay."

Two days later.

Hardy's plane landed at San Francisco Airport.

Bill and his men came to pick up Hardy. After getting in the car, Hardy was driven to an estate Bill had purchased in San Francisco. An hour later, a sedan drove into the estate.

Antonio Salamone entered the living room with his secretary, and Hardy stood up with a smile. Antonio Salamone extended his hand, "Hello, Mr. Hardy."

"Hello, Mr. Antonio."

The two shook hands.

"I wonder what business Mr. Hardy has in mind for me this time." Antonio Salamone asked.

Hardy smiled lightly. "There's indeed a business proposition I'd like to discuss with you."

Antonio Salamone asked curiously, "What kind of business are you referring to?"

"Trading military supplies. I know that the drug warlords usually engage in many skirmishes over the years, and from time to time they usually have some major civil wars. Our Hardy Group has taken on the task of selling post war materials from the U.S. military, and I believe there's a vast market in South America."

"However, we're not very familiar with South America, so we'd like to partner with an organization that knows the region well and has some strength. I suppose your gang has these qualifications." Hardy asked.

Antonio Salamone was shocked by Hardy's words.
