They haggled again, and Andy bought 40% of the motorcycle factory's shares. He also acquired more shares on the market, making Andy's financial company the largest shareholder in the factory.
First, buy the motorcycles, then the shares. Andy squeezed the motorcycle factory dry.
Andy used the sa tactic with other factories, buying shares at the lowest prices and planning to sell them for a profit after revamping them.
Everyone was busy.
One day, Bill called Hardy. "Boss, the xicans have taken the bait. The transaction is tonight. Do you want to watch?"
"Sure."
Hardy couldn't miss such an interesting event.
His bodyguards drove him to the Los City gang's base. The French conman Victor greeted the big boss with respect.
"Is the ti confird?" Hardy asked.
"Yes, boss, it's set for midnight tonight, in the outskirts of Los Angeles. I'll lead the team for the deal," Victor said.
"Any chance of complications?"
"Those xicans completely trust my identity now," Victor said with a smile.
Hardy looked at Bill. "Have you notified Lancer and the others?"
"Yes, they'll be hiding around the area. Once the deal is done, they'll move in to arrest the xicans," Bill replied.
The hook, line, and net were ready. The xican fish couldn't escape.
With few drug sellers in Los Angeles now, prices had skyrocketed. The xicans couldn't source enough, so Victor approached them, making them believe they had a fortune at hand. The first deal was 50 kilograms, quickly sold for a good price.
After the successful first deal, the xicans trusted Victor. Recently, they ordered a large batch. Victor promised 250 kilograms for $900,000, and the xicans happily agreed.
Late at night, two cars arrived in the outskirts of Los Angeles. A few xicans got out, led by a big boss.
They smoked while waiting.
After about twenty minutes, they saw headlights approaching.
Two cars stopped twenty ters away, both sides headlights illuminating each other. Victor and his n got out.
The xican boss greeted Victor, "Hello, Mr. Macron. Finally, you're here."
Victor's current alias is Macron. For a professional con artist, having dozens of nas is quite normal.
Victor smiled, "Hello Neto, good to see you again. I've brought the goods. Is the money ready?"
"Of course." The xican boss signaled, and imdiately one of his subordinates stepped forward with a briefcase.
Opening the case under the car's headlights revealed it was filled with dollars.
Victor signaled as well, and his subordinates brought several large packages from the car's trunk, placing them under the headlights.
Both sides verified the money and the drugs.
Finally, everything was confird.
"Deal done. I hope Mr. Macron can bring us more goods next ti. We can take as much as you can supply now. The entire Los Angeles is our market," the xican boss said proudly.
"No problem, we'll set it up next ti," Victor nodded with a smile.
Both parties got into their cars, and Victor's convoy left.
The xican's car drove into the city and soon into a large slum courtyard. The strategist of the xican gang was already waiting for them.
The goods were moved into the house. The strategist looked at the piles of white powder bricks on the ground, used a dagger to open a package, and put so powder into his mouth.
"Hmm, this batch is still very pure. We can mix it with glucose powder and sell one portion as three, tripling the profit," the strategist said proudly.
At this mont,
There was a loud bang in the courtyard.
A large truck crashed through the gate, shocking everyone. Before they could react, a team of HD security personnel in black special combat uniforms rushed in with sub-machine guns.
The security personnel didn't waste words with the gang mbers, shooting anyone they saw. The xicans finally reacted and drew their guns, but they were no match for the security team and were gunned down instantly.
In just a few minutes, the HD security team completed the operation, killing 11 gang mbers and seizing 250 kilograms of drugs.
As soon as the scene was secured, two reporters ca in and started taking pictures. Los Angeles Police Chief Ed walked in to pose for photos and interviews in front of the bodies and drugs.
Everything was arranged perfectly.
Victor returned to the LA office and handed over the briefcase. Bill opened it, saw the money inside, and chuckled.
"Boss, this money is probably all those burrito lovers had. Now it's all ours," Bill joked.
"Boss, what should we do with this money?" Bill asked.
"Distribute the bonuses as appropriate to those involved, and the rest goes to the company account," Hardy said.
The gang has now ford a company and everything is formalized. Hardy must follow the rules and can't pocket the money.
The next day,
Los Angeles Tis
The headline read, "LA Police and HD Security Patrol Team Crush Major Drug Deal."
"Yesterday, HD Security received a tip about a xican gang planning a drug deal. They imdiately tracked and followed them. The gang's hideout was very secretive.
The HD security patrol team used a truck to break down the gate, eventually killing all the drug dealers and seizing 250 kilograms of drugs."
"This is the largest drug bust in LA history, with the seized drugs worth over a million dollars. The police chief stated that due to HD Security's outstanding performance, a reward will be requested from the city governnt.
"Since HD Security started operating, LA's cri rate has dropped by 50%, making the streets safer. People now feel more secure going out at night, knowing HD Security is patrolling."
Two days later,
The LA city governnt awarded HD Security a $20,000 reward for their outstanding contribution, and renewed their contract, increasing the number of hires.
More hires ant more revenue.
This might have been the end of the story, but Hardy was inford by Lancer that a California Congressman wanted to visit and et with HD Security.
"Which congressman?" Hardy asked.
"Congressman Nixon."
Hardy was slightly surprised.
After eting a future president, Reagan, now it's another future president, Nixon. Nixon is set to rise to power much earlier, becoming the youngest Vice President of the US at 39.
He hadn't sought Nixon out, but Nixon ca looking for him. Perhaps his growth had attracted attention from so influential people.
"Lancer, respond to him. I'd be happy to et Congressman Nixon," Hardy said.
"Also, have Henry prepare the most detailed report on Nixon, as detailed as possible," Hardy instructed.
"I understand."
In the afternoon,
Lancer reported that an appointnt with Congressman Nixon was set for two days later. Henry also delivered a detailed report on Nixon.
Nixon, born in 1913, grew up in Yorba Linda near Los Angeles. Now 34, he beca a lawyer after graduating from college and joined the Republican Party.
California is a stronghold of the Republican Party.
During WWII, he served in the Navy, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He was elected as a Republican congressman in 1946 after returning from the war.
In reality, House representatives have little power with only two year terms, primarily proposing bills and debating in Congress.
True power lies with Senators, elected statewide to represent all state residents in Washington.
Each state has a governor and two senators, the three highest ranking officials in the state.
Hardy surmised Nixon's visit to HD Security was for a political show.
To climb the political ladder, congressn need to stage events to increase their influence, paving the way for a Senate run.
HD Security gained national fa through the 'Bank Heist Docuntary' and now with the largest drug bust in US history, garnering widespread dia coverage.
Many papers reported HD Security's significant impact on LA's safety, with overall cri rates dropping 50%, boosting public safety, and spurring LA's rapid developnt. Even Hollywood tourism increased.
Such a high profile company naturally attracts a visit from a congressman.
The report would highlight Nixon's visit to HD headquarters, praising their work for LA's safety, encouraging them to keep it up.
Though it's a gesture of support, it's really promoting the congressman himself.
Another possible reason is Nixon might seek Hardy as a benefactor.
