Faced with Juan's silence, Du Lin didn't rush him. No matter which method he chose, Du Lin had a way to get him to the last step. The only difference was the size of his loss. During the long wait, the car stopped outside the largest bar in District 1. It was still a long time before it got dark. Although there were many customers in the bar, they were too quiet compared to the craziness of the night.
After the two got out of the car, they entered the second floor of the bar through the back door in the alley behind the bar, which was Juan's office in District 1. He usually doesn't come here because it's too noisy. He's getting older and can't bear the atmosphere here. What he needs is quietness and cultivation, not the hormones down there that are so strong that they overflow.
After closing the door, the room gradually began to cool down. Although people have not invented small air conditioners, they already have very mature methods for using ice. There are not only ice cubes in the mezzanine of the wall, but also copper pipes with water flowing inside, which constantly drive away the heat in the room. The temperature inside is about four to five degrees lower than outside, which is enough to make people feel cooler.
Juan looked out the window at the crowds of people on the street. It took him a while to grit his teeth and make up his mind. He faced Du Lin, smiled and said the answer that Du Lin was most satisfied with, "I choose the first option. We each set up a company for development, and then negotiate with the George family. I have considered it, and this method actually has more benefits. It’s very maneuverable. As long as we stand firmly together during the final negotiation, they must respect our decision!”
After considering it for so long before making a decision, Juan actually thought about it a lot, especially the issues regarding East Coast Entertainment. Although it seemed that he spent 410,000 more than he actually invested, his equity was 30% less. He was not sure whether Eric's disappearance was directly related to Dulin. He had no evidence to prove this, and he also arranged for people to find Eric. He had no idea until he got the evidence.
He took this as a warning, a warning to him. It was precisely because of this warning that he finally made the decision to establish separate companies with Dulin. He didn't know if Dulin would continue to play tricks if two people invested in East Coast Entertainment Company. He would rather establish separate companies and invest separately than bear the one in ten thousand possible consequences. And by doing so, he has greater freedom. Dulin's hard work is of course the best result, but if he doesn't work hard, he will not hold himself back. Instead, he can prove that he is the most suitable partner for the George family. Why not choose this
Dulin shrugged and did not show any dissatisfaction or complaint about this, "Okay, I will immediately arrange for people to make the next step. So where do you plan to start? We cannot make repeated investments in a certain area. Cinema construction, this will cause unnecessary consumption. "
Even if Du Lin didn't raise this issue, Juan planned to raise it. He smiled slightly and said, "I plan to invest in eleven cities in the next state. You know, I am old, and traveling too much is not good for my health. There is no benefit, I hope you can understand.”
"Of course I can understand, then I'll go somewhere a little further away!"
After the two discussed the next few issues for a while, Du Lin stood up and left. The moment they closed the door, they both breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the hypocritical smiles on their faces.
Du Lin licked his lips. At this point in the plan, neither he nor Juan could look back.
In fact, he had already given up on his idea of becoming a tycoon in the film industry since he knew that the George family planned to lay out the film industry. How could he and Juan compete with the wealth and political power of the George family? Say a bad word, and the other party only needs to say hello to Mags, and Dulin and Juan will not be able to buy the land, no matter how much money they pay! This is the worst guess. If the influence of political power is taken away, as long as the George family wants to ensure its absolute control in the film industry and make more intensive repeated investments in the same area, Dulin and Juan will not be able to He is no match for the other party.
So Dulin gave up those somewhat unrealistic ideas and focused on how to bankrupt Juan and then take over his brewery and bar. That was what he wanted most.
But before that, Dulin had to do one more thing.
After coming into contact with the upper class, he discovered that money is really worthless. This sentence may be very contradictory, but it is not so contradictory when explained in detail. When you have no money, maybe ten thousand or twenty thousand is a lot of money, and you can do a lot of things. But after he really had tens of millions of dollars in property, he realized that he couldn't do much with the money? !
This is related to another situation, which is the polarization of wealth. Someone has said that 95% of the world's wealth is controlled by 5% of the people. Everyone wants to be the 5%, but in fact they may only be 6% or 6%. Seven or even another handful of 10 percent. Thirty million in gold plus other money was an unimaginable sum of money in Dulin's previous life.
But when he reached this stage, he realized that the money was enough for him to become five percent of the city, but it was even more difficult to become five percent of the world.
He needed money, more money, so he had a second plan—continue to cheat money.
The plan to defraud money came from Eric's behavior, which made Dulin realize that people's understanding of financial games at this time was still in a relatively primitive stage. He could definitely make a fortune by relying on this method, but the chance was only Once or twice. Too many attempts will inevitably cause social turmoil and intensify conflicts between classes, thus attracting the attention of the empire's top officials.
If Mags really mentioned Dulin's name in person, he would have no other option but to flee the Federation, so the number of times could not be too many, but he still had to make enough money, and this would require the help of Sherry Street. , and he also wanted to thank Juan for everything he did next.
Before returning home, Dulin called Albert and asked him to set up a management company as soon as possible. At the same time, he also called Kevin, whom he had not contacted for a long time.
Kevin was very surprised when he received Dulin's call, and he was a little happy at the same time. People always cannot forget their poor friends in the past when they are prosperous. It’s not that they have much humanity or nostalgic feelings, it’s purely a sense of vanity that they show off to their poor friends after they become rich.
It's a pity that Kevin's happiness is destined to be fruitless, because he is still not as rich as Du Lin.
"I'm surprised that you can make this call to me. This shows that the infrastructure in the Turner area is close to that in developed areas. At least you have phone lines now, right?" Kevin's words were full of excitement. There is a smell that makes people want to punch him in the face. It seems that he is praising the construction of the Tener area, but in fact he is also lightly mocking the backwardness of the Tener area.
Although this taunt has nothing to do with Dulin.
"I'm sorry, I'm not in Tenel now. I'm in Illian and currently settled here. Let's stop talking. I have something I need your help with..."
"Wait a minute!" Kevin's voice on the microphone interrupted Dulin's next words, and then said what Dulin really wanted to beat him, "My current consulting fee per hour is 800 yuan, no. When the time comes, it will be calculated as one hour, and I will mail the payment slip to you. Please leave me your address first."
Du Lin was silent for a moment and couldn't help but said: "You vampire, may the Holy Light always be with you!"
"Some people scold me every day, but I think your way of scolding is the most innovative. If you are not willing to accept this price, I can give you five minutes as a gift, and we can talk about something else."
"Okay, okay, eight hundred yuan, right? I will pay it." Dulin couldn't help laughing, and Kevin on the other end of the phone also laughed. Both of them thought of the first time they met. In the scene, Du Lin also said that smuggling is not as good as being a lawyer. At least it is not illegal for a lawyer to rob, but it is illegal to smuggle. "Help me find someone, someone from Xie Lisi Street who knows a lot about finance and companies. It is best to have someone." Lawyers must be very familiar with the law and financial related laws. I want to hire them.”
"What about your age? Do you have any needs? What about your gender? I suggest you choose a woman, because women are more careful about some details. They may not be as good as men in decision-making, but I believe you will not let others do it for you. Make a decision!"
"Do you believe it? I actually have to pay you eight hundred yuan for just such nonsense. Is your law firm still short of people?"
“We don’t recruit illiterate people!”
"I promise I will strangle you to death the next time we meet!"
"You know this is a threat? Now it's a thousand dollars an hour!"
After Du Lin left his address, he chatted with Kevin for a while. After all, the consulting fee was 800 yuan an hour, so it would be a shame for him not to say more. Although he complained verbally that Kevin was not humane at all, Dulin was willing to pay the money. He knew that Kevin had his own principles, and he also knew that as long as this guy accepted the money, he would definitely get things done. He would rather Kevin ask for more, and he doesn't want Kevin to be free of money.
When dealing with people like Kevin, feeding him with money is the best choice for you.
While chatting with Kevin, Albert had already arrived, as well as Ivan. Du Lin put down the phone and waved, and then the two of them walked in from outside the room.
This was the first time they entered Du Lin's study, and they were immediately attracted by the thousands of books on the wall behind him, maybe more, but in short they were very shocked.
