Chapter 522: Don't admit defeat
Link dared to take the risk of investing in that gold mine, and the presence of the vice god of decay was a very important factor. The vice god of decay has kept his luck good, and he feels that the possibility of losing money on his investment is not very high.
Luke Truss fooled him with those inferior vines, and the vice god of decay reacted immediately. And in the process of investing in Claude Ross's gold mine, the vice god of decay has so far failed to react.
The vice-decrepit god is a very quiet god. It's fine, it's good for Link.
From the current situation, Claude Ross must have lied to him. The Vice Decay God did not react, presumably because he thought that he had not suffered a loss, so he did not need to retaliate against the other party.
It's just that he doesn't know if his guess is accurate.
He also had a hint of concern about whether the Vice-Decay God would think that it was caused by his own greed, so he ignored his deception.
However, he is more convinced that the vice god of decay will not be so pitiful. Whether or not the value of that piece of land will allow him to recoup his costs, in his opinion, the opportunity should still be great.
Claude Ross dared to set up a trick to deceive him, and of course he would not let the other party go easily. Although the other party did not directly covet his money, he just used him as bait. But the feeling of being taken advantage of is definitely not pleasant. In particular, if he does not operate properly, the losses will be significant.
Claude Ross sold his shares, and if the so-called gold mine was worthless, the other shares would have the power to divide up the $1.25 billion he had invested. He owns 50% of the shares, which means he loses 50% of his investment.
Although it is only possible. But if he endures all such things, everyone will ride on his head in the future.
To some extent, the news report that his investment failed is not fake news. But he's not sure if his investment has really failed.
If there is no problem with the vice-decrepit god, there should be something of value underneath that land. He was considering whether to monopolize it or share it with the new shareholders.
Martha's phone call was followed by the phone calls of his relatives and friends. It's all because I saw the news and asked about the situation.
As soon as he hung up the call with Jessica, the phone rang again.
This time it was Flen: "Link, I just saw the news. Is what the news says true?
Link received his call and remembered something. He said: "It is true that it is said on the news, but the loss is not very large! In fact, even if there is a loss, at most a loss of $5 or 600 million, he will not cry out to the earth." "Flenn, I'd advise you to be cautious when dealing with that Steven Layton again. ”
Flon didn't expect him to mention the man, saying, "I don't have any contact with him right now." But is there anything wrong with him?"
Link didn't answer and asked, "What happened?"
"He seems to have a close relationship with Hul Donald. I don't dare to be friends with Hul Donald!" "Could it be that your investment has something to do with him?"
Link pondered and said, "The person I worked with was introduced to me by him. It was at his daughter's birthday party. ”
"You doubt ......"
"Just suspicion. You know, it's always hard to get proof. ”
Fren was silent for a while, then said, "I'll check it for you." If anything is found, I'll give you a call. ”
"Thank you!"
Link hung up the phone and leaned back on the couch, pursing his lips in thought. Does this still have anything to do with Hul Donald?
When it comes to motivation, Hull Donald certainly has no shortage of them.
He thought for a moment, sat up straight and dialed Douglas, and said, "Maybe you can check out Hul Donald, and there's another guy named Steven Layton." If it weren't for Fllen's call, he didn't know when he would have remembered Steven Layton.
"I'll arrange someone right away!"
"If you find something, don't startle the snake first. "He wasn't even legally defrauded this time, and he alarmed the other party, unless he directly committed violence against the other party, or it would only make the other party hide again.
The next day, Link saw the power of a journalist.
As soon as his car drove out of the hotel's underground garage, he was surrounded by a group of reporters at the garage door. They tapped the windows of their cars, their mouths moving, and Link could vaguely hear them asking him aloud questions about "failed investments." There are even reporters who ask stupid questions like "will you go bankrupt because of this?"
But he acted as if he hadn't seen anything, had heard nothing.
Tiger didn't hear Link speak, and he didn't look back, just slowly honked his horn and slowly drove forward.
The security guard at the casino noticed that something was going on here, and someone helped the car clear the way. Tiger then broke the car out of the crowd.
As soon as the car drove out of the hotel, Tiger said to Link, "Boss, there are several cars following behind, it seems to be those reporters." ”
"Leave them alone!"
It's not worth it if you take a detour to avoid these journalists. Because the place they are going to is so close to the Venetian Hotel. He's going to a casino salon. The location is in Luxor.
The reporters could only watch as his car drove into the garage for casino staff. But they were still standing guard outside the garage.
It wasn't until after noon that Link's car drove out again.
When Link returned to the hotel, he saw that the news about his failed investment was still hot, but this time there was a new content: "Suspected of breaking the capital chain, Link Hans made an appointment with the owners of major casinos to raise funds." ”
When Link saw the news, he couldn't help but applaud the imagination of those reporters, even if he knew it was nonsense.
He went to that casino salon, of course, not to raise money. That's just a regular or irregular gathering between casino owners. The main purpose is to discuss emerging issues in the industry or simply to facilitate communication between them. This time Link was invited for the first time, so he went in person. However, he also made it clear in the salon that he will not stay in Las Vegas often in the future. In the future, if you need the Venetian to participate in the casino salon, it would be good for Douglas to participate.
He didn't take Douglas with him because he didn't need him to introduce him or anything. Douglas, who controls a big casino, is already a big man in Las Vegas. It is impossible not to know the managers of those casinos as peers. They may have even been in contact with it.
He had planned to go to Seattle in the afternoon, but when something happened to the gold mines, he changed his plans and stayed in Las Vegas until 8 p.m. He had nothing to do all afternoon. It wasn't until about half past four in the afternoon that Martha called him again
"Link, several other shareholders of the gold mine have sent faxes, asking for a shareholder meeting. ”
Link frowned and asked, "How can their actions be unified?"
"Someone posted anonymously online analyzing investments in gold mines. I think they all saw it. ”
"When?"
"I also heard those shareholders mention it before I noticed this post. Martha said apologetically. "Now their stake exceeds the requirement to hold a shareholder meeting. ”
Link heard that someone else had made a special post, maybe it was for those shareholders. As a result, he even believed in his heart that someone had to ask him to lose. The main target of this bureau is still against him. If those shareholders are cheated, they are only used as tools. Because, if this game is confirmed, his loss will be the greatest.
I have to say that this bureau is linked one by one.
Since it is necessary to convene a shareholders' meeting in accordance with the regulations. Let's hold it.
But the time can only be set by him. He owns 50% of the shares, and since the shares of the others add up to less than 50%, he automatically becomes the manager of the company, even if there is no appointment. When to have a meeting, he can completely decide.
He said, "Reply to them." I will definitely hold a shareholders' meeting. I am not available during this time, and I will inform them when I am free. However, the time limit will not be exceeded. ”
"Good. ”
"Also, before the meeting, I need to make sure that they are all scammed as well. ”
"We'll find out. ”
Link saw that there was no way to solve this matter for the time being, so he said, "I'll leave Las Vegas now, and I'll call if there's anything." ”
He was just wondering what was going on in the place where the gold mine was. I'm worried that things are too sensitive, and he will have nothing to do with it alone. If they can't wait to get out of this game. He didn't have to think too much about it.
In less than two days, the news of Link Hans's investment failure has resolutely become another piece of news. When he checked into the hotel in Seattle, the hotel staff who checked him in were visibly stunned when they saw him. It seems that he should be anxious now.
After all, the news said that his capital chain was broken and he was about to go bankrupt.
Of course, the person in charge of hospitality at the General Chamber of Commerce will not have the same expression.
He arranged for Link's lodgings, and before leaving, he said, "Mr. Hans, tomorrow morning at half-past seven we will prepare breakfast in the third ballroom, when most of the bankers will have breakfast together. A symposium will be held at half past nine in the hotel's No. 1 ballroom. There will be a drinking party in the evening. All the agenda sheets for the sorority, which our staff have placed on the coffee table in the living room. If you have any questions, you can call our staff at the number above. They will give you detailed answers. ”
"Okay. Thank you!"
Link asked again, only to realize that he was the only attendee staying in a hotel. Because the rest of the bankers in Washington either live in Seattle or have a place to live in Seattle. Only his bank headquarters is outside of Seattle.
The arrangement of this general chamber of commerce made him quite satisfied.
He told Tiger to go and open the room himself, and he picked up the agenda and glanced at it. In fact, there is not much on the agenda. Seminars during the day and free exchanges at the evening cocktail party. Just by looking at the theme of this sorority, you know that this should also be a routine meeting or something.
In order to bring bankers together and communicate with each other to maintain the interests of the industry,
He even thought that perhaps most of the people attending the meeting were coming for the evening drinking party.
