After the old couple left, Du Lin had the opportunity to have a good talk with Juan, "Mr. Juan, I heard that you have a good investment project in District 8, right? I really don't know how you got that good place. I think many people are very envious, right?" Dulin got all the information about Juan in the morning, including very detailed records about his personality.
Maybe it's because he feels a little inferior about his origins, unlike other wealthy people who have very prominent backgrounds, so Juan's character is a bit sensitive. Without mentioning his origins and his past failures, he is still a very good at chatting and very easy-going guy, but if his taboos are touched, although he will not fall out, he will make his face very long. In fact, this is completely unnecessary in Dulin's opinion. He was born as a farmer, and he doesn't care about it. Whether a person is successful or not has little to do with his origin and wealth.
Hearing Dulin praise his investment projects and vision, Juan's mustache curled up. He lowered his head slightly, seemingly modestly, but the smile on his face betrayed his humble action. He waved his hand and patted Du Lin's wrist, "Thank you for your praise. It's just that I didn't know what to do at the time. I could only click on the map with my eyes closed. Who knew I would click on that place? I I believe in the guidance of fate, so I decided.”
This is the second point of Juan's character. He believes in those magical things. It is said that he also maintains a special relationship with a young psychic. Every year he goes to some ancient cities that have not been damaged by war to participate in sacrificial ceremonies, and he takes what the priests say very seriously. I don't know if it's because he has good luck, so his development has been smooth over the years, which also makes him believe that "destiny" is real.
Dulin pursed his lips and took two glasses of wine from the tray in the hands of the passing waiter. One was given to Dove and the other was kept for himself. "I heard what you just said. You are very good at wine. I am very fond of wine." I’m also very interested. I heard that there is a way to brew high-quality wine without the need for dragon blood wood. Is there such a thing?”
Juan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He picked up his wine glass from the cold table, took a sip and shook his head with a smile, "I'm so sorry, I really can't help but want to laugh out loud. I don’t know where you heard such rumors? Ever since people discovered that barrels made of dragon’s blood wood could increase the alcohol content more than a thousand years ago, the dragon’s blood wood brewing method has become the only high-strength wine brewing method. During this process, many people wanted to change these formulas, and they wanted to replace dragon blood wood with some cheaper or common materials, but without exception they all failed.”
"When a method has been around for thousands of years and is still being improved, it proves that this method has not been threatened by other methods. I don't know what the purpose of the person who said this to you is, but please believe me, now the only one in the world The brewing method that can brew high-altitude wine will never be separated from the material of dragon blood wood. Some people may add some other recipes, but the most fundamental thing will not change!”
Du Lin showed a look of enlightenment, and nodded lightly, "It's because of your profound knowledge that I almost believed that man's words and invested in his workshop. You know, I just settled here and I'm familiar with it." In the environment here, except for a jewelry store that is currently open, I have no other projects. I still have a lot of money in my hand and I don’t know where to invest it, so someone always comes to persuade me to invest in this or. Invest in that.”
"Actually, I think that if we want to invest, District 8 is obviously the best choice! There are mature plans there and the attention of major forces in the empire. This means that District 8 will definitely become the most dazzling place in the empire once it is launched. Rising Star!”
Hu En very much agreed with Dulin's point of view, and he also indirectly praised him, "You are right, the Eighth District is full of potential. Think about it, when the Eighth District becomes a holy place that all filmmakers aspire to , when hundreds or even thousands of movies are produced here every year, both practitioners and tourists who are obsessed with movies or movie stars will come here to pursue what they want.”
"These people will bring huge popularity and bring us huge wealth. If we weren't short of money, I would invest in some other projects in District 8!" He took another sip of the cup. Drinking wine, he raised his eyebrows. Juan felt very comfortable talking to this young man and had a pleasant feeling of being able to speak freely. He rarely felt like this. This also made him feel that the relationship with Dulin was very close and easy-going.
Du Lin asked "shyly" with curiosity and inquiry: "You said you don't have enough money?" Juan nodded. Ilian's rise has only happened in the past ten years. He can accumulate thousands of dollars. Wan's wealth is already very lucky. If you want to get more wealth, you can only wait. His admission made Du Lin's smile become more friendly. "Then have you ever considered investing in some projects in partnership with others?" ?”
"This way, you can use part of the funds to invest in other projects, and you don't have to worry about insufficient funds. I heard a very smart saying, don't put your eggs in one basket. If the basket falls, the eggs will break. But if you put your eggs in many baskets, even if a few baskets fall, there won’t be much loss.”
Juan looked at Du Lin strangely and asked hesitantly: "You mean... you want to invest in partnership with me?"
"That's true, Mr. Juan, you are the one with the most development potential in this city, so I didn't consider others when I was thinking about it. Do you think we will become partners?"
Du Lin's early praise of being the bottom did not offend Juan. He thought about it seriously and found that it was not unacceptable if they cooperated. The investment in District 8 has taken up almost the vast majority of his liquidity, leaving him unable to make much money in the next year. He actually has an idea. If there was no incident in District 8, he would expand his brewery so that his annual income could be greater.
He thought for a while and then nodded solemnly, "After the banquet is over, we will sit down and discuss it in a few days. I think this plan is feasible!"
Dulin didn't expect Juan to be so easy to talk to, so he smiled even more, "I'm going to visit you tomorrow morning. I wonder if you have time?"
"In the morning? Of course, you know my address, right? Just come directly. We can have dinner together at noon. My wife's cooking skills are very good!" Juan patted Du Lin's shoulder. Choosing the location in his own home was something Du Lin never thought of. He thought it would be at the company or somewhere else. A family dinner is a very grand reception in this world, and it has even risen to the level of a ceremony.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard screams coming from outside the banquet hall. Many guests looked towards the door curiously, wanting to see who could cause such a sensation. But there are also some people who continue to do their own things with half a smile, because they already know who is coming.
When a group of people appeared outside the banquet hall, most people turned around, because the people who came might be great in the eyes of ordinary people, but they were worthless in the eyes of these rich people and dignitaries.
"It's Corinna, she's very popular recently!" Dove looked back and explained to Du Lin, who was a little confused. "The two movies she made recently are said to be very successful and very popular. That's why The heroine of Ilian Holiday."
Du Lin suddenly realized, "So he's a movie star? Haha!"
Juan also chuckled twice. Ordinary people may not know what these movie stars are like, but to these rich people, movie stars are just slightly more expensive vases, such as the Ilian Holiday shot this time. . The total investment in the entire film was 500,000 yuan, of which 50,000,000 was Corinna's salary, and the male star's was 150,000 yuan. Nearly half of the remaining 300,000 yuan was used to purchase new color shooting equipment, 150,000 yuan. For other shooting expenses.
The money came from a personal grant from the same wealthy man who made Corinna a star. For such rich people, it is really easy to spend hundreds of thousands or millions to make a small star famous. Of course, their own purpose is not that simple. It's just that this kind of thing is consensual, and there are even many starlets who are more beautiful, younger, and have better figures than Corinna, waiting to pay.
So movie stars, especially female stars, are just that in the eyes of the rich.
"We will discuss it in detail when we meet tomorrow!" Juan and Dulin shook hands again, "I wish you a pleasant evening!"
"you too!"
After sending Juan away, Dove breathed a sigh of relief. She had longed for such an occasion, but after she actually came, she found that such an occasion was not something she could handle casually. Everyone seemed to be very well-educated, and they were very particular about the words and sentences they used when talking, which made her a little timid and did not dare to speak casually. Especially when standing face to face with these big shots, Dove felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority welling up in her heart. She was able to stand here not relying on her own strength, but with the help of Du Lin's strength around her. She felt that she was inferior to Others are three points shorter.
Just when she was about to say something, she suddenly heard someone calling Du Lin, causing both her and Du Lin to turn their heads and look over curiously.
