Chapter 0105 - The Mansion on the Gold Coast (Ask for Subscription 12/20)

Think tanks are considering whether to acquire other construction contracting companies to accelerate their development through mergers and acquisitions, which is too time-consuming and labor-intensive to recruit people.

The development of S.H.I.E.L.D. is proceeding steadily, and every step it takes must be steadfast, and Li Zitao will never allow any unstable factors in the armed forces in his hands.

Berchtel's growth has snowballed, and his construction staff is growing rapidly every day as the demand in his industry grows rapidly.

Led by Samuel, a former public magnate, Ace is steadily expanding its way out of trouble, especially after the merger of the railroad line purchased from Morgan, its liquidity has become stronger, and its research is in full swing.

Disney has the genius of White, and with his encouragement, there is no doubt that it will become a giant in the future.

Relying on the Academy Awards and Starlight Awards established by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the Foundation, the future is bright.

Li Zitao began to look forward to the day when he would become the predator behind the 'old man'.

Lee's Real Estate Services and Travel Company will soon be controlled by Wise, and Li Zitao believes that the old man will not let him down.

It would be a big joke if the ancestors of the imperial royal family who ruled N countries could not manage even the pastures and land of less than 200,000 acres.

The Oscar-Star Theatre was finally about to be fully completed, but it was only three months delayed by the fact that the first Oscars had been successfully completed, and the large number of workers that had been cut out of Berchtel, coupled with the complexity of the mechanics and the moving octaclaw ceiling.

There is also no choice but to reduce the number of personnel, there is too much work at hand, so he can only stand up to it first.

Before the first Oscars, the Star Theater was the most important, and after it was over, the most important were McDonald's and Subway.

The Blue and White Building and the bunker branch are also progressing in an orderly manner, but if you want to go all out, you will need to wait for a large number of workers to enter.

The construction of Beverly Hills has also not stopped, and now it is necessary to consider where to place the school that is about to be built.

"Rush, where do you think it should be placed?" Club 22, Li Zitao and the core nine detailed the school plan.

The core nine made one adjustment, and the original informant Bob was kicked out of the team.

His role is getting smaller and smaller for the current think tank, and if it weren't for the leakage of the news of the 'get rich overnight' plan, he would have been let out of the way a long time ago.

Later, as the newspapers continued to speculate and ferment, people also judged the origin of his wealth, and even weakened those various speculations.

This is like gossip testing the waters in the previous life, releasing the news little by little, and waiting until the final 'real hammer,' everyone almost has the bottom of their hearts.

At that time, except for such a limited number of parties, everyone else should be just having fun, and nothing will happen.

This is no secret in the think tank, and even Bob himself knows it.

The latest to be promoted to the core team of 9 people is Rush, who was personally invited by Ben to join the think tank, and his performance has been unanimously recognized by everyone.

Since joining the think tank, Rush has visited 5 companies with a total of 132 large and small shareholders.

Its harvest includes 2.3 percent for General Electric, 1.5 percent for Standard Oil, and 0.85 percent for American Telephone and Telegraph.

Boeing 1.2 percent, Amex 3.7 percent.

This performance alone is enough for him to win everyone's admiration, including Li Zitao's attention.

"Boss, I'd recommend putting it in Kenilworth or Dearborn Street. ”

The two places Rush is talking about are currently the top affluent areas in Chicago, and there is no doubt about transportation, infrastructure and safety.

The lowest income of the families who were able to live there was more than $20,000 a year, and that was during the current Great Depression.

Kenilworth, a small town in the north, has been a living quarters for the wealthy since 1889, when it was sold for $60 per acre.

I have to say that the person who thought of this attention was a genius, using high prices to isolate ordinary and middle-class families, and targeting wealthy families.

This just pokes at the G spot of the rich, who also hope that their neighbors are rich people who are worth the same value as themselves and want to wait for their status.

Kenilworth became an instant hit, and a large number of wealthy people moved in, and it is now the most famous rich town around Chicago.

Dearborn Street, located on the Gold Coast, is also one of the top affluent areas, where it can be said that a small group of wealthy people live in Chicago.

Including the Aichenwood, the Pagana family, and even the old Chicago consortium family McCormi, all have their own properties on this street.

"Ben, what do you think?" Li Zitao asked the opinion of the number one think tank.

"I agree with Rush's proposal, but prefer Dearborn Street, where I live now, and it's very satisfying both in terms of environment and security. ”

Ben began to scratch his head and grin as he spoke, knowing that something good was going to happen.

"Joanna is pregnant, 3 months. Seeing Li Zitao's puzzled gaze, Ben raised his head happily and said.

"Congratulations, Ben, it looks like I need a gift for you. Li Zitao clenched his fist and lightly slapped the number one henchman, and said with a hearty smile.

"Thank you, boss. Ben had a greasy smile on his face, and others who watched it made fun of him, and some people looked at him with envy.

The think tank also had occasional dinners, and they had all met Ben's wife, Joanna, who had to say that she was a very attractive woman.

Intellectual, rational, funny, and considerate, it is simply the perfect wife image in every man's heart, even if it is based on his current achievements, in their opinion, it is a big shit luck to be able to get her.

"Is there any suitable target?" Since Ben was so recognizant of Dearborn Street, Li Zitao felt that he could consider it.

"There is a 22,000-square-foot mansion currently for sale, and its current owner is a bank executive. Ben spread his hands regretfully.

"That was unfortunate. "Everyone responded with sympathy, the bank, now it is the hardest hit area, and no one can escape.

"How much does the other party offer?" 22,000 square feet, that is, more than 2,000 square meters, is enough in the early stage.

In the later stage, it can be used as a college branch, and it can also be sold independently and listed.

"$1.96 million, that's the final price received by several waves of interested buyers. "I originally planned to buy it, but Li Zitao's plan to buy a house and enclosure has not stopped.

And according to what he knows about the boss, he is definitely interested in such a price-performance ratio.

"Buy it. Sure enough, Li Zitao decided to buy it with a wave of his hand.

2,000 square meters, 1.96 million US dollars, or facing the luxury house of the Gold Coast, if you don't buy it, won't you be scolded as mentally retarded?

"The room is 3 storeys high and has a very reasonable layout, and it only needs to be rearranged to be put into use. Ben spent a fortune on the notebook in his hand.

"Well, let Bercted send a designer. "Let professional people come, don't let these laymen make four different things, and waste time in vain.

"Continuing to focus on the right land, my plans for the future of the school are based on the Ivy League of America. Li Zitao made a bold statement to build an Ivy League college.

"Boss, is there an internal discount for future tuition?" Ben asked, licking his face.

"Haha......" Everyone laughed for a while, and then chatted and joked and left.

"Do you want to give you a holiday?" walked side by side with Ben outside the club, Li Zitao asked with concern.

After being defined as a 'barbarian' by Joanna, he didn't want to have more 'Grande'.

"It would be great if I could. "It seems that this day has been waiting for a long time.

"Arrange your work tomorrow, and I'll give you two weeks of vacation. Li Zitao said happily, and at the same time, he was also planning in his heart, the core team of the think tank needs to take a rational turn.

After these guys have become billionaires, you can't treat them like ordinary employees, otherwise you will have a tired day sooner or later.

People's energy is limited, and it is appropriate to give them holidays, paid travel, etc.

"I was negligent in coming back and making a leave plan for me. Before parting, Li Zitao gave him a new task.

"Happy to oblige. Ben jokingly bowed and saluted, but he was relieved.

If Li Zitao couldn't think of this again, he would have taken the initiative to bring it up, and now everyone is happy.

When he got home, Ben shared the good news with his wife Joanna.

A cheer rang out inside the house, and the two began to plan where they should go on vacation for the next two weeks.

"Honey, can you let your bodyguard go back to rest? It's just the two of us this time, how about the world of the two?" Joanna always felt awkward with two tails behind her.

"It's a bit difficult, you know, I'm very sensitive right now. Ben took the blame on himself.

In fact, he was more worried about the current fermentation of the hatred of the rich, Joanna was still pregnant with the crystallization of their love, in case of bumping into it, he would not be able to bear this terrible blow.

"Okay, then keep them away, I need private space, they make me a little breathless. Joanna said with some frustration.

"Okay, I promise they'll never show up in front of us as long as it's okay. Ben held up and assured.

"Hey, I've got to plan a perfect vacation, maybe we should start traveling around Europe......" Joanna walked briskly towards the room.

She had to look through maps and make phone calls to find hotels, which took a lot of time.

"Rush, there's something you need to do. Sitting in the living room, Ben dialed Rush's phone.

After moving here, Ben rented the former house to Rush, although he once said that he could provide it for free, but Rush firmly refused.

"Leave plan? I want this job. Rush joked on the phone.

"Of course, no one doesn't like to take a vacation, it's time to find a hostess for your home, and when it's time to take a vacation, have a romantic date, how great it would be......"

The two did some more work handovers, hung up the phone, and dialed Sanilier, Mahathir, Maiton, and Jonny in turn to ensure the normal operation of the think tank after leaving.

Once Joanna has set her route and decided on a hotel, he will also leave the contact number of each hotel to make sure she is always on top of the progress.

Of course, the first thing he needs to determine is whether the hotels have the ability to communicate across the ocean.

In 1927, when metropolises such as New York and London were connected to transoceanic communications, there was a stir in the streets and people cheering.

Three years have passed, and time seems to be still stuck in that moment, and the same is true for technology.

So far, only some metropolises have been able to provide transoceanic communication services, and only between Europe and the United States.

In his position, there is no such thing as a complete vacation, unless the future think tank development is more perfect, and effective coordination and supervision can be formed.

At that time, Ben will almost be able to follow Li Zitao's example and be a hands-off shopkeeper who coordinates the overall situation.
