Chapter 181: Contradictions
The Empire State Building Associated Company had previously lived well with Prudential Insurance Company, but later turned against each other as the Empire State Building's occupancy rate increased and began to generate huge profits.
Prudential Insurance Company sent people to negotiate several times and found that there was no result, which led to the idea of auctioning off the Empire State Building to recover the funds.
It is definitely not a simple matter for Su Mu to seize power from the Empire State Building United Company, and at this moment, I heard that there is a lack of maintenance, and the tenants have resentment in their hearts, and the certainty of success has increased again.
In addition to Mokin, the second largest shareholder of the Empire State Building United Company is named Harry Helmst, and Helmst arrives just as Sumu is learning about the situation with Mr. Burnham.
After introducing himself, he shook hands with Su Mu and smiled: "Haha! Two years ago, Prudential wanted to sell the Empire State Building, but I didn't expect to find a buyer, I thought no one would buy it except myself, congratulations, young man! You bought a very good building!"
There was a strong sense of ridicule, even Lily could hear it, and Su Mu could naturally find out, pretending to be stupid: "I'm very happy to buy it, I'm understanding the situation."
You seem to have kept my building very badly, and the last time it was maintained was in the sixties, don't you care about it because it is not yours? If you continue like this, then I will take back your management. ”
As if hearing a joke, Helmst shook his head and said, "We have a lease, and neither my partner nor I will agree to your request." Don't worry, you'll get it in a few decades, you're still young, maybe you'll see that day!"
"yes, I'm glad I'm not your age. ”
Su Muming sneered.
In front of Lily, he was treated as a fool by the other party, and he was still complacent in front of himself, after all, he was young and vigorous, and it was strange that he could swallow this bad breath, and sooner or later he would tear his face, and he didn't plan to be friends with Harry Helmster, and he would take revenge on the spot.
In an instant, Mr. Helmst's face turned red!
He was in his fifties, and most of his body was lying in the coffin, and he said angrily: "It won't be long before you will find out that it is not good for you to anger me!"
"But you're just a minority shareholder, what can you do to me?
Do you want to beat me up? I advise you to prepare enough money first, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be able to afford to pay it then. ”
Su Mu's mouth is already poisonous, and he never suffers when he quarrels.
The only thing that the other party can obstruct is the Empire State Building, with a total investment of more than 40 million US dollars, and the big deal is that the loss is several million to more than 10 million.
What's more, the Empire State Building has no interests to lose at the moment, and most of the proceeds are taken by the Empire State Building Consortium except for the pitifully low rent.
Helmst felt humiliated and wanted to come up and beat Sumu, but he didn't have the slightest confidence that he could win in a fight with a young and strong young man.
"It's just a small shareholder", this sentence echoed in Helmst's head, and all the glory and pride were ruthlessly torn away by Su Mu, who swore that he would definitely regret it and left in a rage.
Lily looked at Helmst's back, grabbed Su Mu's arm and asked him, "Are you okay?"
"When I go out and encounter a mad dog, I will only hit it with a wooden stick, and I dare to find confidence from me. Su Mu made a helpless expression, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Lily, you also saw it, he provoked me first." ”
"I just heard them say that Prudential bought a cake at noon today to celebrate the sale of the Empire State Building, and a lot of people think you're not making a good deal. ”
"No wonder the morning check-in is so active...... Whatever they want, tomorrow I'm going to discuss the details with the lawyer, I don't seem to be welcome at the party here, take you to dinner?"
"It's really good, I've been bored for a long time, I remember there is a restaurant nearby that tastes great, do you like Italian food?"
"It's okay, my parents should be almost there, let's eat alone or together?"
“…… I'm not ready. ”
*******************************
I usually go home a lot, and I can't talk about missing it.
After experiencing the excitement of visiting the Empire State Building that night, Su Mu hired a tour guide the next morning and asked him to take his family on a tour of New York.
Last night, the light snow had just made the city white, and it quickly stopped again.
After eating breakfast, I sent Lily to the airport, the formalities were not all done, Su Mu couldn't leave for the time being, and promised to rush back to Los Angeles in two days to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, and kiss again for a few minutes before sending her on the plane.
The New York Times published news about Su Mu on the front page of the business section, with the headline "Twenty-year-old Chinese billionaire buys the Empire State Building", I believe that after today, many people will know Su Mu from this, knowing that there is a Chinese young man who is very rich, the West Coast time is three hours behind, and at ten o'clock Blake called to congratulate Su Mu.
After learning from the phone that Su Mu was planning to sue the Empire State Building Management Company in federal court in New York, Blake found a reason to skip work and said that he would rush to help prevent him from being alone here.
There were no secretaries, no assistants, and there really could be no one to help with but Mr. Senna.
After driving a Ferrari to Senna's office, he helped Su Mu find Dorsey-hitney in Manhattan, New York, where he started as a financial business and has a history of more than 60 years, with 10 offices around the world and more than 400 lawyers.
Mr. Senna had something to do today, he was not an employee of Su Mu, and he ran a company in addition to investing in the supermarket, so Su Mu went to the law firm alone and told the front desk that he had made an appointment with Mr. Arthur Thompson.
The young female front desk clerk recognized him, found today's "New York Times", compared the pictures with them, and asked in surprise: "Are you Sue, right? Magical Chinese super-rich? My God, it says that you are young, but it doesn't say that you are so young, please come with me!"
"Thank you, I heard that Mr. Thompson is very capable?"
"That's right, I just became a partner in the firm in August, and he is one of the best lawyers in our firm, so I was right to go to him. ”
Su Mu believed that Mr. Senna would not introduce him to a bad lawyer, and planned to get to know him first.
The top lawyers in various law firms have some important clients in their hands, and since even the notorious oil giant Koch & Co. has hired Mr. Arthur Thompson as a consultant, I believe that there is no need to speak for competence.
Outside an office on the sixth floor, a middle-aged white man could be seen through the floor-to-ceiling window, wiping golf clubs, and waving to Su Mu with a smile......
