At the HD Security base that night, Hardy made a call to the Corleone family, who held 39% of the casino shares.
Hardy thought it necessary to inform them.
"Mr. Corleone, I'm planning to raise funds and cooperate with Bank of America to acquire a bank, so I'm preparing to sell them 30% of Hardy Casino shares. I have two proposals: I can sell 30% alone, or we can each sell a portion, with me selling 20% and the Corleone family selling 10%. This way, I hold 41%, the Corleone family 29%, and Bank of America 30%."
The old godfather knew Hardy favored the second method, otherwise, he wouldn't have suggested it.
"No problem, the Corleone family will sell 10%." The old godfather readily agreed.
The old godfather understood that the casino investment brought substantial income to the Corleone family, all thanks to Hardy's management.
