Scott's eyes were a little surprised when he came to see Dulin. He really didn't expect that Dulin would be so rich and become one of the bidders for District 8. Bidding is actually just a way of saying it to the outside world. After the planning of the eighth district, these projects were basically divided up by the major forces. All participants know that this is definitely a money-making project, and they will naturally flock to Ilian. Some large consortiums have even proposed the idea of "packaging", wanting to swallow up all the projects in the 8th District of Ilian in one go. in stomach.
The mayor naturally refused. The purpose of introducing so many forces from different regions and camps is to check and balance. If a certain force is really swallowed up, maybe it will not be the eighth district of Ili, but a district in Ili. The special administrative region next to Anshi will even be another town or city!
After rounds of brutal price competition, many forces finally made a preliminary decision on what projects each force would be responsible for. Those projects with the largest scale and the best future prospects were long gone, and only some marginal areas or projects remained. Projects that are not favored by people have not been taken up yet. Originally, the mayor did not intend to continue to invite other forces to carve up these projects. He planned to do it on his own, which would be a deep imprint on the eighth district.
He didn't expect that Du Lin could reach in under such circumstances, which really surprised him. Surprised, but definitely not an accident. Dulin successfully solved a riot that might threaten Ilian's reputation and prosperity yesterday. What he saved was not only the current Ilian, but also the Eighth District. Once problems arise in Ilian and worsen rapidly, the forces in District 8 will never invest another penny in this place with a bad social reputation, and will even attack the city hall to satisfy some of their own needs. Therefore, it is reasonable for Dulin to be shortlisted.
What surprised Scott was Du Lin's wealth. It was a multi-million dollar club. How could he just get in? Just his jewelry store? This kind of thing is impossible even if you think about it, right? Scott inexplicably remembered the rumors about Dulin outside, saying that he trafficked people, opened private mines, etc. Maybe they were all true? !
"You came early!" Du Lin was wet all over and was only wearing a pair of very short swimming trunks. He had just climbed out of the swimming pool and the maid was wiping his body. He took the bath towel and waved to the maid, then wiped off the remaining water drops and put it on his shoulders. He and Scott came to the pavilion in the garden, "How many choices do I have now?"
Scott unfolded a reduced version of the plan, in which many block areas were filled in with color, and only a few surrounding areas were still white. He pointed to one of the slightly larger white areas and said: "In the planning, a playground needs to be built here. A very large one will require an investment of at least five million, and additional ones may be needed later."
Du Lin glanced at it curiously and asked: "Shouldn't the amusement park be a project that everyone is fighting for? Why is no one willing to invest in this project?" What kind of theme amusement parks did Du Lin see in his dream? All of them are cash cows, and among them, the Mouse Man Playground earns tens of billions of dollars a year. According to the prices and consumption in this world, no matter how low it is, it’s only one to two hundred million, right
In fact, this was not a mistake by these forces, but a mistake by Du Lin himself. In his dream, he only saw the income of the Rat Man Company from amusement parks and resorts, but ignored the many years it took the Rat Man to make the people of the world accept the Rat Man and the Rat Man culture, and the accumulated heritage accumulated over hundreds of years. It has generated impressive income. And there is no such thing as a theme park in this world. Most of the so-called amusement parks have some entertainment equipment, and then there are flowers and plants and places to watch various stage plays. They are completely different from the amusement parks that Dulin knows. One thing!
If a few ubiquitous things like carousels can earn one to two hundred million a year, I'm afraid even the leader of the New Party, Maggs, can't help but take action. Will they wait for him
Dulin guessed from Scott's strange expression that he might have said something wrong. He shrugged his shoulders and said directly, "I want this project."
Scott frowned and hesitated, "Are you sure? You have to know that this project is really not very good. In addition to considering the needs of shooting, the reason why this amusement park exists is purely for the entertainment of the citizens of Ilian City. Yes, professional financial experts from Sherry Street believe that it will take at least five to ten years to recover the cost!”
"I want it!" Du Lin repeated again. Others don't know how to make money in an amusement park. How can he not know? This may be the information asymmetry that those in dreams often talk about. In the dream world, there are also many playgrounds for people who are not mice, and they make hundreds of millions of profits every year. In particular, this amusement park is not completely devoid of themes, but Area 8 itself is a theme. Things used in filming, and even scenes and props from some classic or popular movies, can be added to it. Of course, this still requires signing another agreement to handle this matter. He is not in a hurry. He has plenty of time before construction.
"Next!"
Scott chuckled a few times. He actually wanted to save money for a super rich man? They really think too much. These people can't spend all their money. As long as they think they will be happy after spending it, it may be worth it.
Dulin won three projects in one breath, and his wealth once again set the upper limit of Scott's guess about Dulin's wealth. In addition to an amusement park, which is certainly not profitable, there is a medium-sized farm, and the construction of a rockery. To be honest, Scott has never seen such a willful rich man. Two of the three projects selected by Dulin were considered by the city hall to be 100% loss-making. The only profitable amusement park was the one in the 1970s, 1990s and 1990s. Projects that can recover the cost.
Originally, Scott was still worried that Dulin had taken a liking to someone else's project, but now he was relieved. It would be better for everyone if he chose this way.
The total investment in the three projects is 9 million, of which 5 million will be used for the amusement park, 3.5 million will be used to build a real mountain, and the remaining 500,000 will be used for the construction of the farm. Scott completed his task, and Dulin felt that he had taken advantage, and everyone was happy.
But Scott didn't know that Dulin only spent nine million and he was not willing to do so, because he still held millions in cash and more than 20 million worth of gold in his hands. If he didn't spend the money, he would How can you be satisfied? Of course, he won't reveal to Scott how he snatches these projects from others, after all, those ideas may be illegal. Just as he thought, he still had a lot of time before groundbreaking or even acceptance!
While Dulin and Scott were discussing how to spend the money, a group of police officers entered the Fifth District and began to solve the murder of Abion. This is thanks to Abion's wife, who left the house directly after seeing Abion's body, and to the speculators who incited the riot, who did not destroy the scene. Soon the person in charge of investigating the case obtained a lot of important evidence, such as several warheads, two shoe prints, a threatening letter in the drawer of Abion's work desk and a box containing one thousand yuan. money envelope.
Coupled with Lati's father relaying Dulin's words, the Guarts, who were extremely concerned about the matter, began to provide many useful and useless clues, one of which attracted the attention of the investigators. Last week, a Guarte worker was accidentally crushed to death by a machine while working. Abion has been working on this matter, and finally won a compensation of 4,500 yuan for the family of the victim. For this The family members of the victims also came to thank Abien in person for everything he had done for them, which made many people respect Abien even more.
With this incident as a foreshadowing, plus the threatening letter and the envelope containing a thousand dollars, the investigators invited two Guartes and police officers to go to the factory where the accident occurred and bring the person in charge to the factory where the accident occurred. Invited over.
In front of many people, the person in charge briefly explained what happened here, and then asked: "How much is your compensation specifically?"
The factory owner wiped his face with a wry smile, and said in a pitiful tone full of sympathy: "My factory's income has been paid out for most of the year because of this. How much do you think it should be?", he then added. One sentence, "The damn union demanded that I be compensated based on twenty years' salary, and even started a lawsuit with me. Finally, after discussing with Mr. Abion, I decided on a heart-wrenching figure, six thousand yuan!"
All the Guart people who were watching were shocked. They looked at the factory owner in disbelief. The investigators seemed to be able to hear their voices and helped them ask, "Can someone testify that you paid Abien?" Six thousand yuan, sir?”
The factory owner was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he yelled angrily, "What? You still want more money from me? Damn it, people from the workers' union were there back then, and there were also lawyers. I have already signed a letter of understanding with Mr. Abion, and I can't give you even one penny more. If you can, just file a lawsuit, vampires!" He waved his arms and left directly.
After a brief commotion, the crowd exploded like a volcanic eruption after a deathly silence!
The poor guy died on the factory floor, and the workers' union even sent out lawyers to get 6,000 yuan from the factory owner. But Abien only gave 4,500 yuan to the family of the deceased and embezzled 1,500 yuan. There is no doubt that the 1,000 yuan in the envelope is part of the 1,500 yuan that was embezzled. As for where the other 500 yuan went, the investigators focused on the threatening letter.
But the Guart people around them were full of anger!
