All capitalists and the capital in their hands are like sharks swimming under the sea. Opportunities to make a fortune are those scraps of meat mixed with blood. Even if they are 10,000 meters away, these sharks will be attracted by just smelling the slightest smell of blood. They will rush over quickly to fight for every ounce of flesh and blood, and they won't even let go of bloody water!
Luke made a good start for everyone. When Dulin and Juan said they wanted to cooperate with the George family, the rich people in Ilian were smiling on their faces, and they were going crazy with jealousy in their hearts. The biggest wish of any capital trapped in one area is to go out, rather than continue to grow locally. The George family is a good opportunity, not only because the George family has a very prominent position in the empire, but more importantly because their tentacles are very wide.
Taking advantage of this cooperation, it is very likely that his industry will be spread to every corner of the empire. As long as we can stay calm and calm down, another trust may not be born in ten or twenty years.
Before that, they had no excuse to intervene in this opportunity. Although the capitalists "do all kinds of evil", they still abide by the established rules, such as trying not to touch other people's cakes as much as possible. People hate spoilers. If you don't want others to interfere in your own affairs, the best way is not to interfere in other people's business.
Now, they have a chance and can ask questions openly.
So Dulin was not surprised at all when Alexander raised this question. He was quiet for a moment and shook his head, "Let's put it this way, Mr. Alexander..." At Alexander's strong request, Dulin removed the unfamiliar word "Mr." , "Alexander, my friend, have you ever considered that instead of rashly stepping into a field that you don't understand at all, why not continue to develop in a field that you are already familiar with?"
Alexander was stunned for a moment. He spread his hands as if he were holding the hotel in his arms. "Are you talking about the hotel industry?" Dulin nodded. Alexander frowned and shook his head, "Not really. I want to refute your opinion. You may not know much about the hotel industry. Across the empire, the hotel industry is still in the "winter break". Except for some cities on the east coast, the hotel industry in the mainland is developing at a rapid pace. It’s extremely slow. I’ve also checked it out, but there’s nothing worth being tempted by.”
Regarding Alexander's view, Dulin held an objection, "I came from a small place, and some people even laughed at me for being a country bumpkin, but it is precisely because I came from a small place that I understand the changes in this empire better. Do you know why the George family suddenly wants to invest in the entertainment industry? "
Dulin asked a very to-the-point question, which made Alexander shake his head. Who knows why the behemoth of the George family wanted to do this.
"Because they also saw the empire's recovery!" Dulin's voice was firm and unquestionable. "There was no movie theater in the small place I used to live in, but there was a theater. People liked to spend money there. In the beginning, the theater It is only open every Saturday night, with about five performances. If you want to continue watching, you have to wait until the next week. However, when I left, the theater performed three times a week, basically every other day. Once, do you know what that means?"
Without waiting for Alexander to answer, Dulin affirmed in a very powerful voice: "This means that the economy is recovering and people have more money in their hands, so after the necessary conditions for their material needs are met, they begin to consider How to use the remaining money to make yourself happy. Consumption, travel, and entertainment are the best ways.”
"I have only been in Ilian for half a year, and I don't know much about this place. Alexander, think about it carefully, has the passenger flow and your income changed much from ten years ago, five years ago, and now?" Alexander Lost in thought, he had never thought about this issue carefully. He only felt that the hotel's business in the past two years was pretty good, and he did not think more deeply about the changes behind it.
Du Lin waited for him for a while, and when he was drinking to soothe his throat, he realized that there were already some people standing around him. They gave him sincere smiles and listened silently to Du Lin's "high opinions" from behind. Du Lin didn't say anything about this, but instead raised his glass to them.
It took Alexander a while to recover from his thoughts. He smiled bitterly and nodded, "If you hadn't said it so straightforwardly, I might not have noticed this for a long time in the future. Yes, from the beginning It can only barely make a profit and is now making a profit every day. There is indeed a huge change!" He laughed and patted his stomach, "It was not this big ten years ago!"
People around him laughed kindly. In such social situations, self-deprecation and humor are the most powerful weapons to build relationships. Dulin continued: "The economy is recovering, and people are starting to use the extra money in their pockets. In order to satisfy their spiritual needs, entertainment, religion, education, tourism... are all one of their choices. Based on this, the George family, who is in the imperial capital and has the mouthpiece of the empire, has huge information channels, and what is happening in the empire every day. They are the first to know what is going to happen, so they realize that the industry that was considered frozen in the past is quietly recovering, and they have such a plan.”
"If it weren't for the fact that I don't have any specific industry to work on, maybe I wouldn't put my hands into this industry. Maybe everyone thinks this is a very good cooperation opportunity, but in my opinion this is actually a difficult game. . Because no matter how well I do, I can’t do better than the George family, and I can’t have more financial resources and connections than them. So no matter what I do, I will always be the passive one.”
"I have never regarded this matter as a career worthy of my investment and all my efforts. I just regarded it as a springboard. After completing the cooperation, I will have a higher level. After all, I will When talking about business, telling the foreigners that John is my friend works better than waving around money!”
People laughed kindly again. Du Lin described himself as very philistine, just like those treacherous small businessmen on the street. This made them feel funny and at the same time they were attracted by Du Lin's charisma. attract.
Young, talkative, humorous, educated, and personable... He is like a guy who stepped out of a book. He is the darling of God. He also has a very keen vision. More importantly, he does not have those "genius prodigies" An arrogant attitude. This is a person who you want to communicate with after hearing a few words from him.
After the laughter ended, Alexander's mentality had changed. He asked in a asking tone: "Then what do you think I should do?"
There were already more than ten people surrounding him. These people were all local wealthy people, and they were also very concerned about this matter. It’s hard to figure out what the world will look like next in these ever-changing times. They have money in their hands, but they don't know how to spend it. This also makes it difficult for the wealthy people of Ilian to leave this area.
"Continue to strengthen your own industry and consider deploying in other places!" Dulin took a sip from his wine glass. "I have been building movie theaters in other places recently, so I have some understanding of these things. Many places have large There is great development potential, but people don’t see it. The land there is cheap, the prices there are cheap, and the labor there is cheap. Even beggars here are not willing to bend down to pick up a penny, but there they will beg for a penny. Break the head."
"Before the economy fully recovers and people realize that the great changes of the times have arrived, the most reliable way is to actively go out and plan for your own career!"
Someone standing behind couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Dulin, what do you think of speculation? As we all know, old Fulers and Mr. Luke over there both started from speculation and became rich quickly, so we are Can’t we also try to speculate?”
This is asking for advice, real asking for advice, not making things difficult.
This means that Dulin's words have made them recognize Dulin's gaze, affirm his thoughts, and hope to get something valuable from it.
Dulin smiled and shook his head and said: "I don't approve of any speculation. It's like gambling. Bet on the final result. That's how the farm tycoon from the state next to us got his name!" People roared again. Smiling lightly, everyone knows that the couple, like Old Fulers, put all their wealth into the development of the city. It's just that Fullers was right and they were wrong. They turned from rich people to farmers. Perhaps this is the biggest joke.
Du Lin raised his hand, and people's laughter stopped, "I think investment behavior that is gambling is speculation, but investment that is not gambling and does not bear excessive risks is normal business behavior. The empire's economy The beginning of recovery means that in the next two decades, the real economy will undergo a period of rapid development. I personally prefer to carry out industrial layout in the real aspect rather than taking a gamble."
The person who asked the question showed a thoughtful look and raised his glass to Du Lin. Regardless of whether Du Lin's guess could be realized or not, at least he was right.
Businessmen can invest, only madmen speculate!
Dulin said jokingly, "Alexander, if you are worried, how about we invest in the hotel industry as a partnership, I am also very interested in this aspect!"
Faced with Dulin's invitation, Alexander suddenly didn't know how to answer.
