When Luke came to Ilian, he never considered investing here or cooperating with others. He came here to save face, not to throw away money. Unfortunately, he didn't get the face back in the end and the money was thrown away.
That may be a bit problematic to say, but it is what it is.
If you transfer your financial advisors and lawyers from the west at this time, God only knows how long it will take. Didn’t you listen to Du Lin? If there is no problem, the agreement will be signed the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow! With no time left, Luke directly paid attention to his friend Garfield. This old friend had his own financial advisor and legal advisor. It shouldn't be a problem to borrow them. If it couldn't be done, he would just give them additional money.
As a nouveau riche, if the word "money" cannot be mentioned in three sentences, it means that the level of the upstart is not enough. Luke also knew very well that he was a lucky speculator, a lucky man who was blessed by God. He never denied that he was a nouveau riche, he just had money!
With the boss Garfield here, his two employees were very considerate. When Luke finished explaining the results of his discussion with Dulin in detail, the legal advisor asked a small question.
He could understand Dulin's decision to give up directly asking Luke to invest in his current Eastern Star Entertainment Company, which involved some possible business issues. To give an example, for example, the equity owner of "Chipo Transportation Company", the second largest transportation company in the empire, is not Chebo, but another person, but people think that Chebo is the boss. From the lawyer's current position, he believes that Du Lin's behavior is consistent with that of a sincere partner. This is a good way to avoid people's inherent misconception that the boss of Eastern Star must be Du Lin, thus ignoring the fact behind it. And a Luke.
But Dulin could think of avoiding this problem, so why did he choose to let Luke register a company by himself instead of two people registering it together? Doesn't he know that once Luke registers the company and uses his own company to invest in shares, even if Luke's equity allocation is not as large as his, people will think that the company belongs to Luke
No matter how well this company does in the future, the first thing people will think of is Luke, not Dulin. The lawyer believes that he has a thorough understanding of these capitalists. There are only three purposes for any of their actions, either for money, fame, or power.
Luke was stunned for a moment at this question, and his expression became serious. He was not very knowledgeable, and he admired these knowledgeable people, so he really took the doubt raised by the lawyer seriously. He thought for a while and asked: "So is it good or bad for me to do this? Are there any traps in it that will cause all my investment to be lost?"
The lawyer is very familiar with this situation. After all, this is what he does. Garfield told him that Luke's academic qualifications are not high, and some things need to be explained more and clearly, so he also analyzed it carefully for Lu. Keting, "Mr. Luke, let's put it this way, no matter how the equity of the company you registered changes in the future, when people inquire about this company, your name will always be the first, and you will also be tagged. He is the founder of this company. The shareholding is on another page.”
"There are many entrepreneurs with good ideas who are very unhappy because they are competing for whose name comes first. They established separate companies before the company was even established. So I think this is a very strange thing, Mr. Dulin You give up something that is very important to a company, and your name will be firmly engraved on this company like a brand. No matter whether you have equity in this company in the future, you will always be this person. The founder of the company, and your name is the first in the non-equity percentage page.”
Luke was really surprised. He didn't believe that Du Lin would be so kind. People with dirty minds always think that other people's hearts are also dirty. "Is there any trap here?"
The lawyer shook his head, "This is just a matter of reputation and has no practical significance. Just like when people talk about Ilian landmark buildings, they will think of Mr. Alexander. Even if Alexander sells the hotel in the future, many people will still think of Alexander." Sir, even ignoring the fact of transfer of ownership.”
Hearing this, Luke basically understood. He restated the complex concept of side in a way that he could understand, "This is equivalent to Dulin and I buying a horse in order to let others know who this horse belongs to." , so I wanted to put a mark on the horse's butt. Du Lin gave up this right, and then I put my mark on the horse's butt. Even if I gave the horse to Du Lin, others would see it. The first thing a horse will think is that it’s my horse, is that what it means?”
The lawyer nodded with a dry smile, and Luke waved his hand, "That's no problem. I hope you can go with me when we sign the agreement the day after tomorrow. Are you free that day?" The lawyer nodded and asked him It doesn't matter who you serve, he charges based on time anyway.
Soon, a piece of news spread among the upper class of Illian. It spread at an alarming speed. It was said that Luke, a mining tycoon from the west, was officially going to cooperate with Dulin. The two of them would form a new company in partnership and accelerate the promotion of the southern mining industry. The establishment of theater chains. I don’t know where this news came from. As soon as Juan learned about it, he took the initiative to verify it and got a positive answer.
After a few days of recovery, his mood suddenly worsened! He thought he was sure of victory, but he didn't expect that guy Dulin to find another foreign aid? It's like a boxing match, you can't beat one versus two. Juan stood up restlessly. At this time, let alone reading, he couldn't sit still even if he was lying on the bed.
Just as Du Lin expected, the more than two million yuan invested in the early stage did not hurt Juan's muscles and bones, and he did not feel any burden. But after investing more than three million yuan and mortgaging many properties to banks, he felt that there was no way out if he wanted to retreat.
Not to mention, even if he wanted to let go now and use more money to buy back his own property, the other five or six million would be wasted. When Du Lin proposed this idea, he told him that it was not impossible to build a cinema in the best city and the best location, but it would definitely be too late in terms of speed. Moreover, Du Lin proposed to implement this plan in some cities, but in other small cities, the land purchased can be a little bit off, mainly because of the quantity issue.
Although the George family will examine the resources they have, who can really go to see the specific conditions of each cinema? Moreover, they themselves have taken the initiative in so-called inspections, and they can take them to model cities to see model movie theaters. Select a few representative ones for the George family to examine, and after successful cooperation, they will slowly prepare for the rest.
It was precisely because of the idea proposed by Du Lin that Juan saw the possibility of cooperating with the George family. Otherwise, if he had twenty or thirty movie theaters, why would he cooperate with you to form an industry trust? I'm afraid even taking another look would feel like a waste of time.
Except for a few cinemas, the others are all built in relatively cheap and remote places. Let alone selling them at the original price, it is hard to say whether anyone will be interested even if they are discounted.
Losing five to six million in one breath would definitely be a stretch. What's even more troublesome is that he also took out the money from District 8 and invested all of it. If he stopped at this time, his losses would be an astronomical figure. This includes the cash from his current losses, a large number of non-performing assets that cannot bring profits, and the income that can be expected in the future. It will take at least ten years for him to recover.
That's ten years. He is already old. He doesn't have the time or patience to stand still for ten years!
He needs allies!
Some people have asked him if he needs financial assistance before, but Juan rejected them all. He knows the mentality and thoughts of those people. Invest one or two million now, and when things are done, the return may be one or two million a year. He has this money himself, why should he share it with others? But even if he didn't want to, he had to do it, because Du Lin, that shameless and despicable villain, actually found a helper.
He considered whether this news was deliberately released by Du Lin to confuse him, but he quickly rejected it. If it was really just a rumor, it would not do any good to Du Lin. On the contrary, it would cause great harm. . People may wonder why the funds promised to invest have not come in. Is it because they are not optimistic about you Dulin, or are not optimistic about what you are doing? Juan thought that the news might not have come from Dulin, but from his partner.
The purpose was nothing more than to build momentum for the next thing and let more people know that Du Lin was the most suitable partner for the George family.
Thinking of this, Juan resolutely picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number, "Didn't you say you wanted to partner with me last time? Are you still interested now?"
He immediately contacted the old couple who showed up at the last evening meeting held to receive Nasha. As the largest farmer in the next state, they had a strong financial background through their business over the years. The reason why they failed in speculation does not mean that they do not make money from farming, but that the money they now make through farming is far less than the money they expected to make through speculation.
When a farmer's farm output can meet the daily needs of a city, he is definitely a rich farmer!
