"Ms. Chris, I know very well the financial resources of the George family and your determination, but I don't think my idea of cooperation is a stupid and ridiculous proposal." Dulin said this. Chrissy wanted to say something, but was stopped by Dulin, "Perhaps in your eyes, the George family is omnipotent, and no one can stop you from moving forward."
"But in my opinion, you have rashly entered a new industry, and it has had an extremely serious impact on the practitioners in this industry. If all the people in the theater industry unite, then do you think the George family can defeat the entire industry?" Industry? I think it’s impossible.”
"You need facilitators, and you also need someone to share the pressure with you and complete the layout of the entire industry faster. Juan and I both have a large number of theater chains. If we can become partners, the George family The layout plan can be completed at least half a year in advance. Money is not important to you, and reputation and status are not important to you, but time is important!”
"This more than half a year is enough for you to do more things. Instead of this more than half a year, in order to protect ourselves, we must always stick together and eventually form a terrifying giant..." Du Lin said here. When he suddenly laughed, "Ms. Chris, have you heard of the theater union? It may not exist now, but it may not happen in the future!"
When Dulin said the word union, Chris's face changed quickly. The original birth of the trade union was a special non-profit social organization spontaneously formed by the working class in order to safeguard its own interests. Its main responsibility is to protect the rights and interests of workers from illegal infringement by capitalists. Trade unions may be like that in the eyes of most people, but in the eyes of high-level officials, trade union organizations are the most powerful means to fight and curb the rapid expansion of capitalism, and the "forced war" between trade unions and capitalists often wins. .
At this stage, it is difficult for a certain emerging field or industry to be completely controlled by a certain family or consortium, because of the existence of labor unions. For example, the actors' strike that broke out some time ago and the subsequent establishment of the Actors' Union were a kind of back-and-forth war between the bottom class of society and the capitalists' excessive interference in the film industry, and it was a victorious war.
If the negotiation fails, then everyone will have no food to eat. Anyway, most of the union members are the lowest-level actors, and they are often without work. Even if they do, they only get a meager salary. Whether they go on strike or not has little impact on their lives and work. It is precisely because these low-level actors are on strike that it is difficult for many movies to continue shooting.
The same goes for theaters. Theaters large and small feel the high-pressure threat from the George family. If they get together and form a union, the George family will be passive. In particular, there may be a group of rich people like Dulin and Juan in this union, which will be a devastating blow to the George family's plans.
In the final analysis, the way to monopolize an industry is nothing more than to continuously annex and "purify" the industry as much as possible. If there is only George in the field of movie theaters, then this is a monopoly. But if there is a large group of theaters in this industry that unite and have more theaters than the George family, this is not a monopoly. Without monopoly, there would be no huge profits, there would be no voice that no one can resist, and there would not be enough political gains!
But if Du Lin, Juan and other wealthy people with many resources in their hands become partners of the George family, it will be meaningless even if those theaters establish unions if they work together. When you can completely crush your opponents in terms of numbers, there won't be any problems.
Chris did not immediately reply to Du Lin. This matter was no longer hers to make the decision. She could be responsible for Ilian and surrounding matters, but she could not be responsible for the entire family's layout and planning of the theater. She needed to pass on Du Lin's news. Report to core family members. Even the core members of the family will still need a long period of discussion and research before they can give an answer to this question.
Chrissy's attitude was obvious, so Dulin shut his mouth. His goal was achieved, and there was nothing more to say. Chris stood up and walked Dulin to the door, and said some words. Dulin turned around and saw Nasha standing behind her. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded in greeting and walked past Miss Nasha.
It wasn't until Dulin disappeared into the elevator that Nasha looked away from the closed elevator door.
"who's that person?"
Chris was really surprised. This was the first time Nasha took the initiative to ask for information about a local after coming to Ilian. She wasn’t sure what attracted Miss Nasha to Dulin, but as Miss Nasha’s Secretary, she must answer this question—Dulin.
"Dulin?" Nasha recalled with some confusion. She had no special impression of the name, but she always felt like she had heard that voice somewhere. "What is he doing here?"
Chrissy was already surprised. She welcomed Miss Nasha into the suite and made her a cup of coffee. "Mr. Dulin came here to discuss cooperation with the family. He said he had With certain resources, I hope we can achieve mutual benefit. I have no way of replying to Mr. Dulin immediately and plan to report this matter to Mr. President.”
"Check this guy out. I think he should know something that interests me."
Chris had no room to refute Miss Nasha's request. Besides, isn't it a simple and easy thing for the George family to investigate someone? It’s just that Chris is a little curious. Since the eldest lady came back, she has never paid such attention to other people like today. She kept an eye on it and planned to report this matter to Mr. President as well, maybe it would be of some other use.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. Dulin also welcomed the two people introduced to him by Kevin.
A lawyer who is also very famous in the imperial capital, but because he encountered extremely difficult cases twice in a row and failed to meet his employer's requirements, he needs to take a break. For these lawyers, winning rate and recent performance are two very important indicators. Lawyers like Kevin who can maintain a 100% winning rate are very rare. When it comes to Kevin's level, he is also extremely strict in selecting case agents. He will not take any case that may break his golden status, no matter how much money the other party pays.
Another financial agent from the imperial capital came to Dulin mainly to make a comeback. This guy named Joshua was notorious. Before he was imprisoned, he cooperated with others on a money-making project. In the end, he was beaten by his companions. betrayed, served five years in prison as a scapegoat and had all his property confiscated. The most terrible thing is that what he did was known to Xie Lisi Street, and some tycoons from Xie Lisi Street have already issued words prohibiting anyone from cooperating with Joshua. In desperation, he could only contact some old friends, and finally connected with Dulin through Kevin.
Dulin received the two of them in the most luxurious restaurant in Ilian City. Expensive dishes were placed on the entire table, and he also opened two bottles of precious red wine worth hundreds of dollars. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and Du Lin showed his respect for the two of them and his financial resources. Not everyone can afford seven or eight hundred yuan for a meal, which is beyond the level of ordinary wealth. After eating, the three returned to Dulin's manor. After taking a short rest, he invited the two of them into his study.
"I believe in the professional ethics and professional ethics of both of you. I invite you here this time because I want to discuss something with you to see if there is any room for action." Du Lin opened the paradise box on the table and read from it. He took out one and gestured. Lawyer Gavin shook his head clearly, but Joshua asked for one. "I recently have a project and plan to cooperate with the George family, but there may be some gaps in funds. I I would like to ask you two, can the company I established be listed to raise funds? "
Gavin sat still, but Joshua became interested. He nodded and said: "Mr. Dulin, there is no doubt that your idea is very in line with the operation of advanced capital concepts. Listed financing is good for enterprises and for shareholders." They are all great choices. The company has obtained enough funds from the stock market for its own development, and investors can also make profits through investment activities such as buying stocks, which is indeed feasible.”
Dulin smiled, crossed his legs, and looked at Gavin, "Mr. Gavin, my company has only applied for it for less than a week. Does it meet the qualifications and standards for listing?"
In fact, Joshua could answer this question, but Du Lin invited two people instead of one, so Joshua also kept his mouth shut.
Gavin nodded. He had been practicing law for many years and knew the law very well. It is normal to fail in a lawsuit, and he did not think that he would definitely lose. After this case is over, I can take on a few smaller cases and return to the profession of a first-class barrister. Of course, if he can operate a project that attracts a lot of attention during this period, it will be of greater benefit to his current and future development.
"Within the newly enacted financial legal provisions seven years ago, any company must have been in business for two years and have sound financial reports. Only companies with potential or cutting-edge technology can be listed. Although your company has only applied for less than a week... Time, but it can be listed through a backdoor listing by acquiring small companies.”
Du Lin smiled with satisfaction, "I wonder if you two have any requirements for salary?"
