Chapter 68 Business Plan

In London's Canary Wharf, a black cab plastered with advertisements slowly pulled up near the taxi rank under the First Canada Place building. As the door slowly opened, Osborne and Lin Xiu stepped out of the car from both sides of the car.

"Ark Investments, do you really think your cousin can help us?"

Lin Xiuyi took out the business card in his hand and asked Osborne with some unease.

"Don't worry! My cousin is much better than me, he used to be an executive at a multinational financial company in the Square Mile (City of London). In recent years, I have set up my own company at Canary Wharf. He's the best guy at dealing with people on the London Stock Exchange......"

Osborne unreservedly praised his cousin to the sky. During this time, perhaps the investigation of the green poison went well, and Osborne changed his previous arrogant attitude and gradually became more concerned about the affairs of the investigation team.

Just yesterday, Lin Xiuyi suddenly found Osborne and asked him about the business plan. At first glance, Osborne thought that Lin Xiu had repeatedly asked him for personal matters, but when he listened to the truth of the matter in detail from Lin Xiuyi, he couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise. He was amazed at why the young man in front of him always had so many whimsical ideas. Is this what is called ancient wisdom from the East?

Cousin Osborne's company has an office in the First Canada Place building. According to Osborne, his cousin's business seems to be doing a lot. Over the past few years, he has been helping wealthy people from the Middle East or Eastern Europe to take care of their investments in the UK. So business plans are all too familiar to Osborne's cousin.

Canary Wharf is different from Square Mile in that it is an emerging financial hub. Before it developed here, Canary Wharf was the decaying West India Wharf. In the Age of Discovery, it was the center of the world's material turnover. Although it was abandoned with the decline of the British Empire, in the 80s, Canadian funds redeveloped the land, making it a new CBD to compete with the Square Mile.

Osborne and Lin soon took the elevator to the Ark Investment Company on the 27th floor. As soon as you step out of the elevator, the sensor glass curtain door in front of you automatically opens to both sides. A tall female clerk came up enthusiastically and asked Osborne and Lin Xiuyi for their intentions. They were then taken to the office of Osborne's cousin, Lewis.

"Look who's coming, hahaha!"

"Lewis, it's a pleasure to see you!"

As soon as Osborne and Lewis met, the two embraced. Lewis was a little chubby and had a lot of strength, and he actually picked up Osborne at once.

"Tell me, what kind of wind blew you here, didn't you just come to me to go out for a drink?"

Lewis teased Osborne in person, and then he stretched out his hand and took the initiative to greet Lin Xiuyi.

"Hello, I'm the CEO of this Ark investment company and John Osborne's cousin, Lewis Osborne, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Hello, my name is Lin Shuichi and I'm from Tokyo!"

As soon as Lin Xiuyi's words fell, Osborne introduced Lin Xiuyi's identity to Lewis, and when Lewis knew that Lin Xiuyi was a policeman from Tokyo, he couldn't help but feel very surprised.

"Did you come to me because of work?"

"Yes, Lewis, we've got a problem, so we've come to you for some help!"

As soon as Osborne's words fell, he exchanged glances with Lin Xiuyi. Then Lin Xiuyi took out a copy of "The Wealth of Nations" from the schoolbag he was carrying with him and put it in front of Lewis.

"We need a business plan. But we don't know anything about his preferences, except that he seems to be obsessed with the free trade ...... that this book promotes."

Lin Xiuyi tried not to reveal the case like Lewis, he just wanted to know how to use the book "The Wealth of Nations" to attract the attention of DPJ and thus get the other party's appreciation.

"The Wealth of Nations? I'm not mistaken! This book is hundreds of years old, and many things are outdated, of course, for those laymen, it is quite useful to buy a copy and put it in the office to decorate the façade, or to learn a theory from it that is half-understood and people who don't understand it......

Lewis glanced at the book on the table with disdain, and then said to Lin Xiuyi and Osborne with a little ridicule.

"No, Mr. Lewis, we don't really want to find investors, we just want to make a business plan that will attract the attention of a suspect who believes in the theories of The Wealth of Nations, and we want them to see us as people who can understand his thoughts like him. ”

"Well, it's not complicated, but there are some questions I have to ask you. For example, what kind of business do you want to engage in, what is the industry you are in, who are your main competitors, what advantages do you have, what is your future growth, what is the current situation in the industry and what are the opinions of industry insiders. If you can solve these problems, then you have a perfect business plan, a little complicated, right? Forget it, let's start at the beginning......"

In the following time, Lewis, who had asked about Lin Xiuyi's troubles and found it interesting and found it interesting, spent an afternoon writing a business plan for Lin Xiuyi and Osborne about the human organs and drug trade, and that night, Lin sent an email to DPJ.

"Dear Dread Pirate Jones (DPJ), it is a pleasure to be qualified to communicate with you via email. First of all, allow me to introduce myself, I myself have been in business for many years and have a wealth of business and management experience. My business is mainly in the human organ trade and the drug trade. Not long ago, I discovered the Black Death that you built because of the opening of a website called the Colosseum, and after some in-depth understanding and careful research, I feel that your website has the potential to become a second Silk Road. The Black Death was better than the Silk Roads, and more insidious and safer. If I am interested, I would like to work with you and have my business plan here......"
