Prudential Insurance Company was stupid enough, but not hopelessly stupid, and it was clear that it wanted to stay out of the matter, only paid more than $20 million, and then collected rent without doing anything.

Considering that the Empire State Building was to be leased to the other party for 114 years, the contract in the 50s added an additional clause that the Empire State Building United Company would pay most of the maintenance costs, which meant that Prudential only collected the rent, and the Empire State Building United Company was responsible for the maintenance and management of the building.

Now Su Mu wants to pay for the renovation of his own building, and the demand is reasonable, he pays, and the Empire State Building United Company must also pay, otherwise it will be a breach of contract, and he has the right to invalidate the lease of the year.

A large amount of money will be invested in this regard, and in the future, the tenants of the building will be exempted from rent for six years...... Now that he is taking more than two million dollars a year, and the profits are all made by the Empire State Building United Company, Su Mu would rather sacrifice his immediate interests, and if the lawsuit is successful, he will earn more in the long run.

As long as you can get the management rights and rental income, even if it is free for ten years, Su Mu can earn a lot of money, and when the time comes, the value of this building will soar from more than $40 million to about $300 million!

If you raise the level of tenants in the building and can increase the rent after the renovation, then the Empire State Building is worth more.

Taking a step back, even if the Empire State Building United Company can get 160 million US dollars, it will encounter a lot of trouble when the rent rises in the future, and if it does not rise, it will mean a loss, and it will take more than ten years to recover the cost.

Those six years are a buffer period, and if Su Mu wins the lawsuit, when the time comes, the rent will rise, and the small tenants who are not strong enough can be cleared out.

Lawyer Arthur Thompson began to be moved, hesitating whether he should take the lawsuit, as a lawyer, even if he didn't accept it, he couldn't disclose what Su Mu said to others, this is a very important article in the lawyer's code of ethics, violators will be removed from the bar association, and bear all the losses of the client, Su Mu does not have to worry about leaking the news after revealing the method to him.

According to Su Mu's thinking, it is possible to win or lose, and the risk is about half and half, and the most likely is to force the Empire State Building United Company to make concessions, take the initiative to reduce the lease period, or share a part of the profits to Su Mu, so as to reach an out-of-court settlement.

He hesitated, and was already inclined to take over the lawsuit, looked up at Su Mu, and said in his mouth: "It seems that you have thought a lot, the newspaper just came out today, and you thought about a lawsuit with the Empire State Building United Company before you bought the Empire State Building, right?"

"That's right, last night they showed off their might in front of me, as if they were sure that I couldn't do anything with them, my family was poor since I was a child, and my self-esteem was stronger than that of ordinary people, and I would rather lose more money myself than make the other party comfortable.

Managing the Empire State Building in such a way that people like the Twin Towers more than they like the Empire State Building, and I also suffer a loss of reputation, how glorious the Empire State Building in Midtown was now a low-class hotel for the New York population, and anyone can live in it. ”

Mr. Thompson did not believe these high-sounding words, and in his opinion it was definitely because of profit, and 99 percent of the businessmen who came to him to litigate were for profit.

And the one percent is to help the poor fight lawsuits for free, so as to save the bad image of the lawyer industry in people's mouths, take the initiative to serve as a public prosecution lawyer, and can also deal well with judges.

"Yes, if someone asks about it during the proceedings, you tell them that. Please give me a night to think about it, and after reading all the information you brought, can I get back to you tomorrow morning?

I'm going to go to the Empire State Building myself to find a loophole that I can exploit, but you'd better be prepared, I can only do my best to help you fight for your interests, but I may not be able to reclaim the management of the Empire State Building. ”

After Lawyer Thompson finished speaking, Su Mu stood up and stretched out his hand, and said: "Then so be it, thank you for your coffee, I marked the aspects that can be used with a pen on the document, each of them is not enough for me to win, but they add up, it is definitely worth trying, I wait for your good news......"

After sending Su Mu away, he sat at his desk and looked through the contract of the year, as well as the detailed construction standards, inspection data, and post-maintenance time of the Empire State Building, and other materials, and the important places were marked with a pen.

When I saw it, I was immediately happy, and muttered: "Where is the customer, how is it similar to my assistant." ”

When Lily arrived at the LA airport, she called Su Mu to report that she was safe, and her family lived in Homeby Hills, which is also a famous and wealthy area of Los Angeles, like Beverly Hills.

Last night, Mr. Su and Mr. and Mrs. Su Dingcai saw Lily, and the old man also said that it was good to find a white girl, and his idea was very simple, because many Chinese people relied on white wives to be accepted by white people, and now that Su Mu's business is growing, the old man is worried that he will be excluded and bullied.

Relying on a white wife to be accepted by American society seems to be unconfident, but it's right to think about it, Old Man Su has been crawling around in the slums all his life, how can he have much confidence left.

When he was a child, he saw many scenes of being bullied by white people, and someone was shot in the chest because he took out his driver's license from his pocket after getting out of the car, even the most famous gang brother did not dare to provoke a white patrol officer.

Su Mu didn't agree with his old man's thoughts, but he didn't refute anything, just told him not to think about it, and joked that he was worried about having no money when he was poor, and when he had money, he was worried that someone would rob him, and he would be a worry for the rest of his life.

I made a phone call to my dad and learned that the boat that was heading to the Statue of Liberty was simply a bronze statue, and I didn't plan to waste time looking for them, there was a guide to lead, and I was not afraid that there would be no place to visit.

CNC browser continues to expand, foreign people have been using it, hypertext transmission protocol quickly covered the original network resources, and the initial development of standards and rules with experts from various countries, the development is more rapid.

There are also troubles, such as having to carry a floppy disk with you to run client programs on most computers, and you can't find relevant files by searching for text for the time being, and there is still a long way to go before you can improve it.

The good news is that many programmers have gone to apply for jobs at the Menlo Park Firefly in California, and James has brought people back to California to help Sumu recruit employees.

At this moment, he made a call to James and learned that more than 60 people had been recruited, the most junior programmers, and only two senior programmers came to apply, and one of them was not admitted because he failed the physical examination.

Compared to the Empire State Building, business in Silicon Valley is more important, and Su Mu plans to take a trip to Menlo Park after dealing with this side of the matter......
