Du Lin finally returned home after traveling around the East Coast. This time, tens of thousands of bottles of wine were scattered, which not only advanced the money for the wine, but also paid a considerable amount of tax. He also got into a bit of trouble with the city hall over this because the wine was being sold "too cheaply". Yes, it is cheap. The mayor feels that he has been tricked by Du Lin. In his opinion, these wines cost at least 20 yuan a bottle, and Du Lin's profit should be around 10 yuan.
But what people didn't expect was that Du Lin quoted a cost of ten yuan, but the selling price was only fifteen yuan, which meant that the profit and tax income that was supposed to be more than three hundred thousand yuan turned into only a hundred thousand yuan. Half the price is missing! The mayor asked Scott to tell Dulin about this matter. Dulin said that this was the price, and also vaguely revealed that the wine was sold to "friends", so the price would not be too high.
Even though he didn't get the answer he wanted, the mayor could only hold his nose and admit it. If it's half missing, it's half missing. Two and a half million are gone, but there are still more than one million. This is also a mistake. A huge amount of income. But after this incident, the mayor became wary of Du Lin. If Du Lin wants to fool him again in the future, it may not be that easy.
After more than a month of sailing, Dulin finally returned to Ilian. It was undoubtedly winter in Ilian at this time, and there were hardly many pedestrians on the streets. This was the winter break in Ilian. Compared to Montel, which is close to the Federation in the south, the climate there is much warmer than Ilian. Even at this time, the temperature is more than ten degrees. With many people going there to have fun, it is still very lively.
This is the biggest difference between Ilian and Montel. The first is temperature change, and the second is industrial change. Ilian is a purely tourist city, and so is Montel. At the same time, Montel has another industry that is also very developed, and that is the red light district. Compared with the secretiveness of other places, Montel's red light district can be described as bare and has absolutely nothing to do with "subtlety".
"Premiere?"
In the evening, Frena came back from school and talked about this matter with Dulin. The film's post-production has been completed while Du Lin was away, and the film's premiere is scheduled to be held in the Imperial Capital on December 12th. At this time, Area 8 is still a long way from completion. The core of the entire film industry is in the Imperial Capital by default, so the premiere will also be held in the Imperial Capital.
As the first heroine and producer of this color film called "The Love of Ilian", Frena must be there in person, and she also wants to invite Du Lin to go with her. Firstly, it is to deepen the relationship between herself and Du Lin, whether it is a cooperative relationship or other relationships, and secondly, she also wants to warn others that there is a financial backer behind her now, so don't let her have thoughts that she shouldn't have. body.
As the movie "Erian Love" gets closer to its release, many people are thinking about the heroine of the movie. When watching a movie, what could be more exciting than doing sexy things with the heroine in the movie? In addition, Du Lin, including Frena, did not clearly disclose their "relationship", so some wealthy young men frequently called Frena, wanting to invite her to dinner, or even sleep together.
He even asked her directly on the phone how much it would cost, implying that you could just make a price and I would pay for it.
This phenomenon is not uncommon in the film industry. Many heroines have become the targets of wealthy people because of the popularity of a movie. How can it be more stylish to take a popular actress with a less famous woman by your side
Frena looked at Du Lin expectantly. She very much hoped that Du Lin would agree to her request, but Du Lin shook his head without much thought, "This is not possible. I don't have time to go to the Imperial Capital recently. I'm very busy. do you know?"
It’s not that he’s busy, it’s that he doesn’t want to challenge the sensitive nerves of “those people”. Since he knows that these people have already followed his lead, there is no doubt that his visit to the imperial capital at this time will have a provocative meaning. Think about it, those people wanted to immediately take him to the imperial capital for interrogation, but because they could not forcefully take Dulin away from Ilian across the region without evidence, at this time he took the initiative to go to the imperial capital. This was not a sentencing. Did you come to the door
Although the empire's judicial department talks about fairness and justice every day and bills itself as a messenger of justice and an apostle of light, sometimes they are not so standardized in their actions. Just fabricating a small problem is enough to drag Du Lin in the imperial capital and be unable to leave. This kind of thing is not unheard of.
Frena's disappointment was palpable. She opened her mouth, but finally chose to remain silent. During this time together, no one could change Dulin's mind on what he decided, except himself!
Suddenly thinking of something, Frena said: "I heard that Juan is back. He was determined to be implicated by others and has been acquitted. I heard that Ilian is also returning today, and there are several others who are going. Pick him up at the station!"
Du Lin was stunned. He didn't expect Juan to be willing to return to Ilian, but if he thought about it more carefully, it was not impossible. In terms of theater development and cooperation, Du Lin cheated him once, or that his intention was not to take the initiative to be cheated by Du Lin. This does not mean that all his early work was in vain, nor does it mean that all the work he had done was in vain. The money is completely gone. This is different from financial investment, which may lose everything due to various "accidents". There is no such thing as losing money for industrial people.
No matter how worthless something is, as long as it is something, it will definitely have value, it's just the amount of value.
Just like the stock market, unless you encounter a stock like DreamWorks, even if the stock drops to the lowest level, for investors, it is just a matter of loss or loss. There is no "bankruptcy" unless you borrow money from someone or take a loan shark. .
Juan has invested more than five million in theaters, and now he is still worth two or three million. It does not mean that he has completely lost money. Even so, he is still better than those ordinary people have. I don’t know how many times more assets there are.
"Didn't he come to see me?" Du Lin put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin and touched his lips.
Frena shook her head, "I don't know the specific situation, I just heard people talk about it."
Dulin smiled, stood up and said goodbye. When he returned to the bedroom on the second floor, he picked up the phone and called Alexander. Alexander had a good relationship with Juan before. One was in the hotel industry, and the other was a wine supplier. They had a cooperative relationship. In addition, they were both local rich people, and they were more friendly than the others.
After Du Lin asked about Juan, Alexander smiled and said with an sigh: "He has suffered a big fall this time. I hope he can cheer up." There was a sense of humor in his words. This is an indescribable emotion, and it is indeed the case.
After Juan was captured, his negotiations with the George family stopped, his assets were frozen, and he was frightened. It was said that he was very embarrassed and lost weight. Everyone should be aware of what he has in his hands now. In addition to the movie theaters he acquired at a premium, he also has about fifty or sixty empty pieces of land. This was actually Du Lin's suggestion to him. Buy the land first and then build slowly. It wouldn't be considered a lie during the negotiation.
Now these lands have become a problem. At first, Juan only followed Du Lin's idea to gather "quantity" and circled a lot of land in some second- and third-tier cities. When he bought it, he didn't care about the development and construction of those cities. But when he sold it, the problem came - no one was willing to take over. Instead of spending money to buy a piece of land in a city that is as underdeveloped as the countryside, it is better to add some money to buy land in a more developed city. At least the latter can appreciate quickly, and the former does not drop in price, which is already a good thing.
It would be great to be able to recover more than two million yuan from an investment of more than five million yuan. It is estimated that some of it cannot be sold. In addition, there is basically no hope of paying back the money he owes the bank, and the cooperation with the George family has also come to nothing. , this time his losses were huge.
As a friend of Juan, James, the president of the Ilian Branch of the Imperial Bank, has tried his best to provide him with convenience. If he cannot make up the loan and interest within January, his things will enter the process and start the auction. Where would he get that money in a month's time? Usually he is good friends with the rich people in the city. If there is difficulty in cash flow, everyone can help. Now his place is a crater. No amount of money is enough to fill it in. Who dares to give him money
In addition, the farmer and his wife asked Juan to return the money to them immediately, and now Juan is in dire straits. What's even worse is that he can't get the money this month, and the bank will take away the villa he lives in.
A well-respected rich man has become penniless and close to bankruptcy in just six months, which really makes others feel the uncertainty of fate. Three months ago, Juan was still full of joy, and many people were even envious and jealous of him, but three months later... It's okay not to say anything.
Du Lin exchanged greetings with Alexander and then hung up the phone. Although he was very tired now, he still had something to do.
Go see Juan.
After taking a shower and changing a set of clothes, the three of them headed to Juan's villa in District 1 with Dover and Ellis. When the car arrived at the door of the villa, it seemed that there was a dark cloud covering Juan's villa, creating a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere.
After ringing the doorbell, the housekeeper welcomed Du Lin in. Du Lin waited for Juan in the living room.
Du Lin knew that in the world in his dream, there was something called "Yehouyu". There was a saying that enemies were extremely jealous when they met. His own eyes were certainly not red, but Juan's were!
