Chapter 215: Turning the Face and Not Recognizing People (1/3)
Old man Su was so angry recently that he complained about his son Su Dingcai causing such trouble, and what made him angry the most was actually heartache, how could people's hearts be so bad.
In the past, I listened to others tell me that when someone was rich and turned his face and didn't recognize people, he would only smile happily, and he never hated trouble to watch the excitement, but now that his family encounters this kind of thing, he knows that there are mixed tastes.
The window glass was broken, and I don't know who secretly smashed it at night, and when the bodyguards chased it out, there was no one in sight.
Probably who smashed it, Old Man Su knew in his heart.
Either those strangers who didn't help themselves, or distant relatives who ran away to borrow money from home, some of whom he didn't even know, and who turned a few corners and couldn't hit the door with eight poles.
Those who know and those who don't know come to me one after another, open their mouths and turn over and over again, it is nothing more than the word "money".
It's really difficult, and the relationship is usually good, so I can help if I can, and there are relatives who are so poor that they want to borrow 300,000 dollars to buy a house.
300,000 knives, a few years forward, Old Man Su didn't dare to think about it at all, but now in the mouths of his relatives, it was a fluttering sentence, as if he really treated money as paper.
What kind of ability you have, what kind of life you live, borrowing money from other people's relatives to make a good life only pretend to be "their own home" in their hearts after all.
If you are comfortable at home, you don't care what you think about being borrowed, anyway, the money is in your pocket, and you haven't paid it back, and when you pay it back, because you are relatives, it's not casual.
Yesterday, the relatives of the daughter-in-law's family came to the door, and came to the United States for nearly a hundred years, who has few relatives, the old man originally thought that his family was rich, and he could not let his daughter-in-law lose face on the side of his mother's family, and he never thought that he would open his mouth to be two million, probably because he was afraid that he would not borrow, and finally added: "This is just a small amount of money for your family." ”
Old man Su wanted to retort: "Even if it's a small amount of money, why do I have to lend it to you?"
But Nian is a relative, and in the end he only said that the money was in his grandson's, and he left some money at home for the family, and usually used this set of excuses to send other insatiable relatives, they naturally didn't believe it, and it was very ugly in the relatives on both sides, and the developed ones didn't look down on poor relatives and the like, which had reached the ears of Old Man Su, and he was very unhappy about it with the old man's thinking concept.
I drank wine with a plate of peanuts and a plate of dried fish, and when I saw my son hang up the phone, the old man asked, "What did my grandson say?"
"Let's move, he bought a house in Menlo Park, and that's what I thought, and it happened to be closer to my sister's. ”
Su Dingcai can be regarded as seeing the disadvantages of having money, a friend who has known him since childhood, borrowed money from him this morning, the first two have not been repaid, and he has to borrow a third one, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger.
On the one hand, he didn't want to be angry, and on the other hand, he didn't want to annoy others, so he was annoyed and bored first, and the old man was the same, two or two of them drank down, his face did not change, and he opened his mouth and said: "I can see it, I wanted to be closer to Chinatown, but now I find that it is closer, and I can't find the smell before after all."
Let's go, let's go, except for when your mother was sick, who helped our family, don't borrow anyone, just scold, and meat, and you can eat more. ”
Seeing that the old man figured it out, Su Dingcai smiled and said, "That's okay, I'll hurry up and take you out of the hotel and take you to your grandson's pension ......."
Even if someone borrowed money, he wouldn't look for Su Mu anyway, and he ended up idle.
helped Du Zhong and Li Ping'an, and was kind to Qian Helberg, a Jew he knew when he was a child, and in addition to buying a big house in San Francisco last year for his sister-in-law to live in.
This is a close relative, when Su Mu's grandmother was sick, she was able to take out all her savings, and she helped take care of Su Mu all day before she got married, and she helped if she could, and gave 200,000 US dollars, as the cost of her cousin's schooling, private schools are much better than public ones after all.
I don't think much about the bad things that my family is looking for, I still live in Chinatown when I have money, it's like cheese falling into an ant's nest, how can I not be remembered, as for the messy relatives, it's okay to do a small favor, but don't expect to take money from Su Mu's pocket, and then from then on I don't have to worry about food and clothing, born in the United States, Su Mu looks very lightly at the family patriarchy or something, and only cares about the people around him.
Li Ping'an's family is not bad now, Su Mu heard him talk about it, and his relatives or friends borrowed money from him, so he said: "I went to the whole team, and I have a lot of debts, why don't you come back in a few years?"
It's really a lot less troublesome, there are also those who scold him for turning his face and not recognizing people, and white-eyed wolves, Li Ping'an and his father are thick-skinned and don't care about these......
Lawyer Thompson was sitting opposite Su Mu at the moment, and after he finished calling, he then spoke: "The city hall has agreed to our renovation, the report of unqualified fire inspection has also been obtained, the escape routes on many floors have been locked, most of the fire extinguishers have expired, the original contract stipulated that the Empire State Building can only be used commercially, and now they have turned several floors into apartments, and someone has spent money to buy the right to use it for a hundred years, it seems that the Empire State Building United Company really has no intention of giving up the right to manage."
There are a lot of small problems, which is a good thing for us, and when we pay someone to help them, we ask 1,000 New Yorkers, and more than half of them think it's outdated and have a bad impression. ”
Su Mu asked: "Although the management of the Empire State Building is in the hands of the United Company, this is my building, which invisibly harms my interests, which means that this can be used?"
"Yes, there is nothing that can void the original contract, but the combination of these problems makes us much more likely to succeed, and now many cities are building tall buildings, Chicago has the Willis Tower, and the Empire State Building is no longer glorious in comparison. ”
Attorney Thompson pushed down all the cases at hand for this lawsuit that shook the whole United States, and prepared in detail.
Picking up a copy of the documents, he handed it to Su Mu and said, "This is the detailed renovation data given by SOM Architects during the holidays, and I made them almost turn it into a brand new Empire State Building without thinking about saving money, at a total cost of about $270 million."
The bill from SOM Architects will be sent to you, but I didn't expect those architects to make so much money, and I knew that I would do it. ”
“...... To make you so envious, the cost is definitely not small, and when the time comes, let the Empire State Building United Company help me bear part of the cost, after all, this is for the Empire State Building, and the design fee needs to be paid. ”
Su Mu was unwilling to let them take advantage of even a penny, and now that a lawsuit had been filed, the two sides were torn apart, and Harry Helmst, the second largest shareholder of the United Company, called yesterday to ask him why he did this, and he replied in a serious manner that it was for his own benefit.
It was quite unpleasant, the confrontation court was inevitable, and he was worried that he might lose the lawsuit, so Su Mu personally rushed to New York to learn about the specific preparations, this lawsuit may last for a year, or it may last for a few years, anyway, the time will not be too short, and the cost is estimated to exceed 10 million US dollars, after all, the fees paid to the law firm alone will most likely be as high as millions of dollars.
It just so happened that the Empire State Building United Company has begun to invest in real estate business in recent years, and the funds are not abundant, and recently faced a lawsuit, just now Thompson lawyer told him that the bank is already considering suspending the loan for them, and once the Empire State Building is lost as a "money printing machine", the risk of repaying the loan will be greatly increased.
So far, Su Mu is very satisfied, and he is only worried that the Empire State Building United Company will lose and delay the lawsuit for a few years before closing the lawsuit, so that the fees that Su Mu needs to pay to the law firm will also rise, but compared with the hundreds of millions, or even billions of profits that may be brought, the lawyer's fees are nothing.
A lawsuit was initiated, but now the Empire State Building United Company, which actually controls the operation of the Empire State Building, still occupies the initiative, Su Mu seems to be relaxed, but he has come to New York again to personally supervise it, which has already shown that he cares a lot.
In fact, even if he loses, it won't hurt his muscles and bones, he just doesn't want to fail in the case of dominance, and he has to go all out, he has recently tasted the benefits of fame, and has made friends with many Silicon Valley bigwigs, and last week the governor of California went to Silicon Valley to inspect and recognized Su Mu at a glance.
If you make a lot of noise now, and end up abandoning the Empire State Building, won't it become a joke in people's mouths......
