Business Building In America : From The Underworld To Hollywood
This story unfolds during the later stages of World War II, where a man, scarred by the horrors of war, finally grasps the profound and harsh realities of the world. In this world, those at the top laugh and celebrate, while those at the bottom sacrifice their lives in futile conflicts driven by pride and meaningless ambition. A modern soul transmigrates and fuses with the original soul of a body, creating a unique and extraordinary existence. To some, he is a villain; to others, a madman. In a world steeped in cruelty, this man, determined to secure a place among the decision-makers, struggles to break free from the ranks of those powerless to control their fate. To achieve his goal, he resolves to shatter the chains of law, then the chains of morality, and finally the chains of mediocrity.
Chapter 234 Dominating The Market
Robert Montgomery, the current president, was groomed by Meyer and was a loyal subordinate. Hardy's desire to become president of the Actors Guild was akin to seizing power from Meyer.
Meyer felt like an old lion being challenged by a young lion.
If it were anyone else, Meyer would have refused without hesitation and retaliated, even against companies like Universal or Warner. He could make them suffer and force them to retract their ambitions.
But facing Hardy, Meyer found himself powerless, even somewhat fearful.
Meyer knew the true extent of Hardy's power. In just two years, Hardy had unified the entire Los Angeles underworld.
HD Security was now stronger than even the LAPD.
The industries under Hardy's control provided him with enough financial strength to support any endeavor he wished to pursue.
