Luke was surprised when he heard that, and immediately understood: "Yes, they have caught up with this wave of reconstruction!"
With all the big things happening in New York lately, there are houses everywhere that need to be remodeled.
Although it is impossible for a home improvement company to receive a big order, the business of a single family alone is enough for this small company to support.
Fudge knew that he understood, and said, "Yes. Now, thanks to Ben, he is meticulous and safe. Although the company has doubled in size, it is basically operating normally, and the profit has exceeded my initial expectation by 230%."
Luke shrugged: "Then I should reward him with shares this year."
Fudge confirmed this: "Indeed. If he still can't get the shares, those old foremen who have some shares will have problems sooner or later."
"Okay, Ben is indeed doing a good job, but we still have to get down to business." Having said that, he patted his forehead: "When he recruited workers from our community a few days ago, he mentioned that the transportation business of the home improvement company It has seriously failed to keep up with business needs.”
Luke understood immediately.
The decoration workers of the home improvement company have a group of veterans, which can be regarded as professional.
One year old and new, the first batch of half-aged children are also half-qualified decoration workers, and now it is not a big problem to quickly increase new people.
But for the transportation of materials, Charlie and Laka took a few temporary workers to run a year ago, and there was no fixed procedure at all.
This is flexible and cost-effective for small companies.
However, with a decoration team of more than 100 people, the demand for materials has skyrocketed in the face of the work that can't be done in New York.
If you do it like before, there may be big problems.
Luke thought for a while: "You mean, give Adrian the business of material transportation?"
Fudge nodded and shook his head again: "If you only plan to help casually, then that's fine. But considering the development of the home improvement company in the past two years, buying a transportation company is a good choice."
Luke was stunned: "Acquisition?"
Fudge: "Yes. Acquisition is the best, and financing holding is also acceptable. After all, controlling a stable transportation company is good for home improvement companies."
Speaking of this, he coughed a little awkwardly: "The premise is that you have sufficient funds to eat Adrian's company. According to his current situation, he should not refuse."
Luke rolled his eyes: As long as Adrian is not stupid, he will sell the company immediately even if he only pays back the capital now.
Even if the transportation company solves the financial difficulties, the chance of rapid development is much smaller.
Those who do engineering do not know that long-term fixed large-scale project contracts are the most profitable.
It only takes one time to turn a small company owner into a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire.
Scattered work is much harder, and you have to bear the risk of making ends meet at any time.
But is Luke a man short of money
Adrian and his group only invested hundreds of thousands in total to buy construction machinery.
Of course Fudge knew that Luke was rich, and it must be more than that salary.
It's impossible to order so many high-end meat and seafood in Dad Fuji's butcher's shop with the little detective's salary alone.
This is obviously to look at his face and take care of his father's business.
Fudge thanked Luke very much, and even specifically told his father not to mention this matter outside.
Now that he found a good opportunity, he couldn't help but mention it.
This is not to say how much money Luke can make by getting this company, even if it will definitely make money.
More importantly, the home improvement company involved 70 to 80 Clinton District residents, most of whom were young people who were willing to embark on the right path.
If the home decoration company can continue to flourish like this, those young people can change their future, and they can also feed back their mothers who raised them.
At least... you don't have to go home and steal money from your old lady!
Luke groped his chin, and quickly made up his mind: "This can be done. However, you have to help me get it done, I don't have that much time to get a contract."
Fudge snorted, raised his finger and pointed to his nose: "It's me again?"
Luke glanced at him: "Should I tell Matt to take over now? Or hand it over to the two trainee lawyers in your firm?"
After thinking about it, Fudge could only nod: "I'll do it."
This transaction involves hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds. It is definitely not good for two trainee lawyers, and it is too disrespectful to Luke.
For Matt...forget it! This guy seems to have more things to do than himself, and he is often too busy to see anyone. I really don't know where a blind man gets so much business! The partner of a certain firm complained in his heart.
Luke was extremely satisfied: leave the matter to Fudge, then there will be no problem.
This young lawyer doesn't take dirty money, doesn't mess around, and works seriously and meticulously. He is a bit similar to Uncle Ben. No wonder the two can chat.
Fudge confirmed several basic points of investment to Luke, and he was confident.
When the two walked back, it was still Luke who spoke, but he only said that he could find someone to invest in Adrian's company.
Then Fuji explained several investment options, which can be financing or acquisition.
At the same time, there are some supplementary clauses to ensure that Adrian and the others are only a matter of earning more and earning less in this transaction, and will never lose money.
What Fudge said was easy to understand, and Adrian was taken aback when he heard it: Are you sure this is not doing a good deed
Immediately, he probably understood, and looked at Luke: "This... Is it a little embarrassing?"
Luke waved his hand: "At most it's a win-win situation. Fudge and I worry about this because we want to help more people and get a stable job. If you choose to sell directly, you won't make much money."
Speaking of this, he got up: "You talk to Fudge about this matter, you can go back and think about it for a few days, you don't have to make a decision right away. I still have something to do, so I won't waste everyone's time."
Adrian stood up and reached out to give him a firm handshake: "Thank you, Luke."
Luke laughed, patted his upper arm, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Oh, by the way, last time you seemed to say that you are an electronic engineer?"
Adrian was a little dazed: "Yes, I've been doing this for almost ten years."
Luke: "How about technology?"
Adrian: "Uh, it's okay... right?" He looked at Luke with some uncertainty.
Luke nodded: "Then you can consider training some electricians in the future, and the home improvement company will definitely welcome them."
Adrian watched Luke leave dumbfoundedly, turned to Fudge and asked, "Do you think so too?"
Fudge looked at his expression, and tentatively asked: "Could it be that what you do has nothing to do with electricians?"
Adrian opened his mouth, not knowing how to popularize science to the other party for a while.
Although both have "electricity", the difference between the two is similar to the difference between a vacuum cleaner and a vacuum tube, or between soybean juice and soybean milk.
What's even more helpless is that he and those old guys can really train electricians.
Usually they repair electrical appliances and circuit switches by themselves at home, which is no worse than ordinary electricians.
