Chapter 210: Knowing Yourself and Knowing Your Enemy (Three Watches, Thank You for Your !!Support!
Lin Zitan sat in his office, holding the information he got back from Frank in his hand.
I read it twice, word by word.
"Amada, it's really not ordinary. The corners of Lin Zitan's mouth couldn't help but tilt up a slightly disdainful smile.
Amanda's father is a small businessman on the Upper East Side of New York, with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.
There are several mansions on the Upper East Side, and Amanda is the only daughter and has been pampered since childhood.
So even though his parents were strongly opposed, Amanda chose Mike, a second-generation Italian immigrant with no background.
The two are college alumni of NYU, and Mack graduated from college and worked as an associate lawyer with Amanda's father's personal lawyer.
That is, lawyer David that Lin Zitan was fortunate to meet.
Amanda fell in love with Mike at first sight, and began a series of pursuits.
Mike's family was originally somewhat connected to the old Italian black hand D, and his father was also one of them.
Unfortunately, he died tragically during a mission, which affected Mike's values and outlook on life.
After establishing a relationship with Amanda, Mike began to find ways to change his position in life.
Slowly distanced himself from old members like Frank, and for a time became the object of ridicule from everyone in the organization.
Attorney David resigned from his position as a private lawyer because he was dissatisfied with some of Amanda's father's unfair profiteering.
He set up his own law firm outside, and at that time it was suggested that Mike follow him away.
But Mike wants to urgently change his political status and civilian status and move towards a real upper class,
He decided to stay and help Amanda's father, and soon married Amanda with whom he had two sons.
Later, Mike filed for divorce after Mike accidentally discovered that Amanda was cheating on a friend of his father's, a city councilor in his 60s.
After divorcing Mike, Amanda still maintains an improper male/female relationship with the city councilor.
In exchange for the parliamentarian's political help with his father's business map, he was also placed by the councillor to work in the ZF department for five years.
Amanda has now stepped down from the ZF division to focus on her father's sprawling family business.
And his father began to prepare to quit business and politics with the help of his friends who were councilors, and ran for the next city councilor!
As we all know, the election of the United States legislators will receive sponsorship from the funders.
And once the legislators are successfully elected/re-elected, they will have to fulfill their promises to the financiers.
The first is "buy G and sell G",
Parliamentarians will use their political influence to place the financiers and their families in the ZF.
The second is that it is the parliamentarians who help large corporations/interest groups pass laws that benefit them.
From parliamentarians to presidents, this phenomenon has been repeated repeatedly.
The real situation can refer to the American drama "House of Cards".
Knowing Amanda's net worth background, Frank also attached Mike's business content and personal information over the years.
Since Mike's divorce from Amand, he has started a winery business through the connections he has built.
In addition to the usual sale of moonshine, Mike also smuggled some guns and ammunition to Canada with a small group of people.
Although there are not many of them, there is a lot of profit.
Frank included Mike's profile because of the delicate relationship between Mike and Amanda over the years.
Amanda's connections will protect Mike's business to a certain extent, and Mike is also very loving to his two sons.
Lin Zitan now knows that in Mike's countless so-called business trips and social days,
Most of them are with their sons and ex-wives.
In the years since he married Li Manrui, he has never been absent from the graduation ceremony and birthday banquet of his two sons.
He also accompanies Amanda to attend some of the more important scenes for Amanda's family business.
Seeing this, Lin Zitan once again thought of Mike's reaction to selling the yacht directly after he was thrown into the sea,
He was convinced that Mike must know something, but he chose to ignore and do nothing for the sake of his own son.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, Lin Zitan carefully read the information he got back and forth several times, and finally locked it in a drawer in his basement.
Now is not the time for him to sigh, since he has made clear the direction of the enemy, then now he can only continue to enrich his strength,
And then on the day when everything is ready, give the enemy a crushing blow, including his stepfather Mike!
----------------
Sometimes Lin Zitan really admires Li Manrui's endurance, and it has been a few weeks.
He didn't see Li Manrui act on his discoveries and reminders.
But since she chose to be silent, Lin Zitan didn't want to say more, but repeatedly reminded Li Manrui to protect Li Annie's safety.
Otherwise, as for emotional problems, it is better for her to solve them by herself.
Time is in a hurry, such as a white horse passing through the gap, 2009 is about to pass halfway, hesitating to take various ways and means to save the market,
The Federal Reserve of the United States, in cooperation with central banks around the world, has taken a number of measures to address this crisis.
The overall economic situation of the United States is slowly returning to its normal operation from the painful economic crisis.
When Lin Zitan had just put his network company and real estate management into more scientific management,
Hongrong Freight ushered in the tri-monthly shareholders' meeting.
said that it was a shareholders' meeting, but in fact it was just a meeting between Joseph, Lin Zitan and the financial director Li who had just taken 5% of the shares.
Before Zhang Jinglin left, he temporarily handed over his 10% equity to Lin Zitan for trusteeship, so Lin Zitan actually represented two people to attend the meeting.
In the largest office, Lin Zitan sat in the middle seat instead of Zhang Jing, listening to Joseph make a brief summary of the previous quarter's operations.
Due to the impact of the economic crisis, Hongrong Cargo's business growth has slowed down in the past two years, down 5 percentage points from the peak.
However, because food, clothing, housing and transportation are still the basic needs of the people, compared with other financial industries, the loss of the catering industry is relatively small.
The company's net profit is now maintained at about 2 million per quarter, and Lin Zitan, as the largest shareholder of Hongrong,
You can get about 1 million dividends after tax every quarter, but the first quarter of this year is more complicated.
Supervisor Li carefully calculated everyone's due share, and wrote a check on the dividends due to each person, and signed by Joseph.
handed over Lin Zitan and Zhang Jing to Lin Zitan.
"At this meeting, I actually want to talk about the next plan, and I think it is imperative to go public with Hongrong. ”
Joseph handed a business report and business plan to Lin Zitan from his hand.
A summary was made on the current development prospects and potential crises of Hongrong Freight in the local area.
Because many Chinese people are very excited to see the profitability of Hongrong Cargo, especially their existing distributors,
There are many people who are secretly preparing to increase the scale of investment, in order to grow into a new freight company that can compete with Hongrong.
There are one or two people who Lin Zitan knows by himself.
"In addition, the subordinate with an annual salary of 150,000 yuan I mentioned before, I also plan to let him join the company as soon as possible.
to assist me in matters related to the listing of my company. Joseph looked at Lin Zitan and rubbed his hands.
"**** that actuary?" Lin Zi groaned.
"Yes, but he's out of office now, the economic crisis, you know~" Joseph's eyes blinked uncomfortably.
"Don't you think it's too expensive to earn 150,000 yuan a year?
It is not a business oligarchy like Chase, and his business ability has yet to be tested. ”
Lin Zitan said expressionlessly.
"No, I've already talked to him this time, he's been unemployed for more than half a year, we can give him an annual salary of 100,000 yuan first,
Follow-up to see his business ability, and then give corresponding rewards. Joseph hurriedly said.
