Chapter 252: How nice the scenery is
Seeing Su Mu nodding in agreement, the corners of Mr. Mokin's mouth curled slightly.
As long as it loses the support of the tenants in the building, it means that it loses the support of the vast majority of shareholders.
Although Su Mu now holds 43% of the shares of the Empire State Building United Company, but the decision-making power of this share is only half, and the two shares can be worth one share of others.
Seeing that he didn't seem to have this idea at this moment, he couldn't suppress his smile, Su Mu couldn't look down on the control of the Empire State Building United Company, and for most people, this was already a noble status that needed to be looked up to.
Before there is no unsolvable contradiction, it is beneficial for Su Mu to maintain the status quo, and he does not have much energy to continue to manage this company, if there is no big problem in the decision-making, let them manage, and wait for the money to be collected, which is more worry-free and effort-saving, when it comes to how to operate a building, Su Mu thinks that he is not as good as them.
Originally, Mr. Senna was asked to sell his shares in the company for about $150 million, but since the other party himself proposed to increase the rent, he felt that the price was too low.
It's not that I believe in the managers in front of me, but I believe that the reputation of the Empire State Building in the world, especially for large and medium-sized enterprises that are not up to par, need a magnificent office building.
After a cursory glance at the plan in hand, Su Mu under the leadership of Mr. Mokin and Mr. Helmster, visited the company's environment, many employees saw this scene, rolled their eyes again and again, at the beginning of the year, they also saw the two bosses angry to scold Su Mu scene, now it is as if nothing has happened, and sure enough, the answer is a sentence - businessmen only believe in money.
Central Park is green at the beginning of summer.
Standing on the top of the Empire State Building, you can see the entire Manhattan cityscape in the distance, and you can also see boats driving on the East River, the famous Brooklyn Bridge running east-west, with Brooklyn to the east and Manhattan Island to the west.
Further north in Brooklyn, the famous Queens borough is just across the river, but it presents a different landscape, there is a Ferris wheel on Coney Island, and the time goes forward ten years, that amusement island is a children's fantasy land, but now it is synonymous with bad security and dirty environment, and no one goes there anymore except for the low-level poor.
In fact, New York is the same, New York has experienced the darkest years of social order, high crime and economic depression in the sixties and seventies, and the current mayor has sat in the position for 12 years, and it has been a series of tough tactics to pull New York back from the brink of recession, and in recent years he has invested more than $5 billion in dilapidated housing reconstruction and affordable housing projects.
Listening to Mr. Morkin, who was standing next to him, Su Mu knew that the property that the United Company was developing was originally a slum near Greenwich Village, and then he suddenly realized and asked, "I probably understand, so I will sell you cheap land, and you will make money by building houses and help New York improve the urban environment, right?"
"That's pretty much it, that's right.
In fact, our company's land only cost 12.3 million US dollars, and the poor people who used to live in that area also benefited, not only with money, but also with affordable housing, and the city hall was also making money through land transactions to increase the employment rate of local residents. ”
Overlooking the city, ordinary people can only see money and scenery in their eyes, and the rich can see more, such as development opportunities, Mokin continued to say to Su Mu:
"We've been managing the Empire State Building for more than 20 years, but the last time we were alone at the observation deck was many years ago, and the occasional guest was not in the mood to see anything, and the city can feel small.
People only see the scenery of New York, but they ignore that more than 90 percent of the city's population is poor, some from remote states to seek development, and some people have to work because of their livelihood. When I first came here, I only had two hundred dollars in my pocket, and I admit that I made money because of the Empire State Building, and those agreements were signed with Prudential Insurance Company in an honorable way, and they were definitely not as dishonorable as you think, and I still remember how much I suffered at the beginning. ”
Su Mu didn't understand why the other party was telling him this, he liked to stand here and watch the scenery, and just proposed that he wanted to come up and have a look, Mr. Mokin came up with him, thinking that maybe it was because of the touching scene, so he said more.
Looking at Mo Jin, who was no longer young, he shook his head and replied: "How can there be an easy business to do, carefully speaking, it should be that my means are despicable enough, and the company can also try to get involved in the real estate development industry, but I think it is not good to venture into an unfamiliar industry, and now the real estate that is being developed should give it a try, and it will not lose much, there are too many real estate businessmen in New York." ”
Do you hold a grudge against Su Mu?
That's for sure, no one likes a thief to take money out of their pocket.
The thing is already like this, it is useless to say more, Mo Jin skipped this topic and only said: "In the past, I saw others easily make money through real estate, but we only knew that it was not easy to do it ourselves, it was difficult to get a loan from the bank, and it was not easy to raise funds alone, and it may not be able to sell it in time in the end."
I can't achieve anything when I'm like you, a despicable and intelligent character like you, I will definitely go far in the future, during the lawsuit I found myself like a quagmire, surrounded by enemies, if you force yourself to fight to the end, maybe you may succeed, but you can afford to lose, it's like a capital game, and if we lose, these decades of hard work will disappear. The original major shareholders, including me, are all old, and they don't have the fighting spirit that you can start again if you lose, and you haven't found a suitable successor before, and I now feel that I can hand over the Empire State Building United Company to you in the future. ”
After a few years in business, Su Mu is no longer as immature as he was in junior high school, the mall is full of foxes, he can only make himself a cunning little fox, and occasionally have to show his claws to intimidate to avoid being thought by others as prey.
I was very skeptical that Mr. Morkin was trying to stabilize himself, and was still worried that he would seize power with him, Su Mu propped his arms on the lookout and smiled: "To tell you the truth, I also plan to sell the shares to others at a price of 150 million US dollars, and I have invested about 60 million US dollars before and after, making more than double the income, which has made me very satisfied." ”
Without waiting for the next step, Morkin asked, "What now, aren't you going to sell it?"
"What a nice view here, a little reluctant to sell. ”
Su Mu's tone was lazy: "At that time, I was thinking, I want to keep the top floor for myself as an apartment, live in the highest house in New York, my family didn't have money when I was a child, and the living environment is like Chinatown next to Wall Street, and it will be more broken, life is really wonderful......"
