He gestured for Taylor to come closer.

Taylor hurried over, and Hardy whispered in her ear, "I\'m actually part of the mafia. Are you scared?"

Taylor\'s eyes widened in shock.

She displayed a surprised expression.

"Hahaha~~~!" Hardy burst into laughter.

Taylor instantly realized that Mr. Hardy was teasing her.

"To be honest, the Mafia isn\'t that mysterious. They\'re just people. I do know them indeed, but don\'t reveal this secret," Hardy whispered to Taylor.

As he spoke, Hardy\'s breath sprayed onto the little girl\'s ear, making Taylor feel ticklish.

When she lifted her head, her face was already slightly red.

"Mr. Hardy, how long will you stay in New York?" Taylor asked.

"I may need to stay a few more days. There\'s some business to take care of here," Hardy referred to the TV factory matter.

His proposed installment payment plan was highly praised by Michael, and they decided to sell using this model. Michael was responsible for finding a cooperating bank, and with the connections of the Corleone family, finding a cooperating bank wasn\'t difficult.

There was another matter: Ava Gardner and her team were also coming to New York soon. The promotion team for "The Wild Bunch" was doing promotions in major cities, and New York was the last stop. After the promotion in New York was over, "The Wild Bunch" would be officially released.

Hardy planned to wait for them here, see if there was any way he could help, and then return together.

Taylor was delighted to know that Hardy would stay in New York for a few more days, so she could occasionally meet Mr. Hardy.

"Can you come to see me often?" Taylor asked in a somewhat coquettish tone.

"Of course, whenever I have time," Hardy promised with a smile.

After dinner, Hardy took Taylor home. The little girl didn\'t want to get out off the car, so the two chatted in the parking lot, discussing their acting experiences and the problems they encountered these days, Their enthusiasm was high.

Hardy looked at Taylor and said, "It\'s already very late, and you have a scene to shoot tomorrow."

Taylor looked at Hardy somewhat resentfully. "I just want to spend more time with Mr. Hardy."

Hardy patted Taylor\'s hair. "Don\'t worry, I said I wouldn\'t leave during this time. I\'ll come to see you whenever I have time."

Taylor looked at Hardy, quickly kissed him on the face, jumped out of the car, and ran to the hotel, happy like an elf.

...

Michael reached a cooperation agreement with Citibank in New York to sell TVs through installment loans.

As soon as Hardy returned, Michael told him the good news.

The relationship between the old godfather and a vice president of Citibank was excellent. The godfather personally called him, and when the vice president heard the godfather\'s plan, he felt it was very good.

The bank would handle the business, providing interest free loans to purchase TVs. The TV factory would pay the interest portion. This was a very good deal for the bank—a safe and profitable transaction.

And there were two other benefits.

First, it increased business volume.

If a thousand people processed this business, it would be equivalent to a thousand loan orders. If ten thousand people did, it would be ten thousand loan orders, invisibly increasing a large number of customers.

Don\'t underestimate small customers. They are still customers. When these people become familiar with Citibank and accept its services, in the future, when they need to process loans, the first thing they will think of is Citibank.

Second, it expanded publicity.

With this business launched, Citibank would inevitably receive attention. The TV factory promised to advertise in newspapers, with Citibank being one of the cooperative units, effectively advertising for Citibank.

In the next day\'s New York Times, on the front page advertisement position, the headline was "Bring Home a TV for $0, Act Now." NYT

The photo was of a beautiful TV.

\'N.Y.T\' TV Factory will collaborate with Citibank to handle interest free loans for TV purchases.

Ordinary people need to pay a 30% down payment, $38, and the remaining loan is paid off in 9 months, $10 each month, without paying any interest.

Military personnel have even better benefits, paying nothing upfront, directly taking the TV home, paying in 12 installments, $10 each month, and $17 in the last month.

The only requirement for TV buyers is to prove a stable source of income.

Inside the TV factory, trucks were pulling out TVs. Michael looked at the departing trucks and said to Hardy:

"Now we have 3000 units in stock in our warehouse. I hope these TVs can be sold out within half a month."

"Michael, you are too conservative. I estimate it won\'t take more than a week," Hardy said.

"A week, that fast?" Michael asked in amazement.

"Actually, even a week is too much. Don\'t underestimate people\'s desire to buy. People\'s pursuit of entertainment has always been strong, it\'s just because they didn\'t have money that they didn\'t buy it. Now that they have the opportunity to get a TV at such a discount, I believe many people will be tempted.

Citibank has eight branches in New York.

Some people noticed that there was already a long line outside the bank, stretching endlessly.

Passersby were curious.

"What are they doing? Is Citibank about to collapse, and everyone is queuing up to withdraw money?"

"Haven\'t you read the newspaper? It\'s an interest free installment loan to buy TVs. These people are all here to buy TVs. I heard that veterans and soldiers can buy them with no down payment."

"Yes, the TV is free, you just have to pay $10 a month later, but you have to be a soldier or have served in the military."

This person suddenly got excited, "I just retired from the army last year, I\'m eligible! My wife has been wanting to buy a TV for a long time, but it\'s really difficult to come up with so much money at once. This event is really great. People are queuing up, if you\'re late, you might not get one."

The bank finally opened.

The staff were startled by the dense crowd, and the customers surged forward, all there to buy TVs.
