Except that Link tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, he was speechless all night.

Although he couldn't sleep well, Link still obeyed his biological clock and woke up early, and then went to the roof of the hotel and played two punches in the morning fog until the morning fog from the bay dissipated.

As soon as he took a shower, Benjamin came over with his cell phone and said, "Boss, a guy who calls himself Flen Pitt has called you and says he's been to San Francisco." I told him to call later. ”

Link threw the towel that wiped his hair on the armrest of the couch and took his phone to check the time. It's not even eight o'clock. As soon as the phone rang, the ringtone rang, and it was Flen Pitt calling.

He waited for the bell to ring for ten seconds before answering: "This is Link Hans." ”

"Link, I've arrived in San Francisco, and I don't know if I've had the pleasure of having you for breakfast. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "I'm at the Four Seasons Hotel in the Bay Area." ”

“OK。 I'll be there in twenty minutes. ”

Link dropped his phone on the couch, picked up a towel and put it back in the bathroom, then dried his hair and put on a suit of clothes, and the time was about twenty minutes to pass. That's when Flen Pitt's call arrived.

He led Benjamin downstairs to the private room that Flen Pitt had booked. Pete saw him come in and greeted him at the door, stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Link." ”

Link raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Fren." Opportunities are up to you. I also hope you can convince me, though. ”

"I'll do my best. Pete said with a smile on his face when he heard this. "Maybe we can sit down and talk while we enjoy the seafood. ”

He called the waiter, asked Link and Benjamin for their opinions, and really ordered a seafood meal. A four-pound lobster, three Dungeness crabs weighing at least one and a half pounds, and an example of pan-fried salmon, a salad, and a large pizza. He also ordered a bottle of Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon, a popular red wine among the wealthy in the United States, and the most expensive domestic wine sold in the United States.

Link and Pete talk about Pete's company while eating.

This time Pete knew that Link had most likely already investigated him, so he didn't exaggerate anymore and tried to tell the truth: "Yes, Link. My company is small and has very little money at my disposal compared to the big companies. But I think you can also see my strength. ”

Link had to agree, saying, "Yes. I know you have two very good operations. Let investors make a lot of profits. He took a sip of red wine and said. "But what I'm saying is that you don't seem to have operated more than 50 million dollars. ”

"That's right now. Link. Pete said sincerely. "Before I went to jail, I never had less than 300 million in funds. And I make more than $100 million in profits for investors every year. ”

Link wiped the corners of his mouth and pointed straight to the core, "But you were charged with insider trading and convicted. Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. I just want to say that if you don't have an insider, you can control that much money, there needs to be a question mark. Isn't it?"

Pete said in a deep voice, "Link, what you said is the truth. I was indeed doing insider trading before. In fact, the vast majority of brokers who go to domestic companies are engaged in insider operations. Not doing that, it's not that they don't want to do that, it's that they're not qualified. ”

Link knows that those capital predators do have the ability to obtain all kinds of insider information and then manipulate the capital. He did not question Pete's words.

Just listen to Pete continue: "Right now, I'm among those people who don't qualify to do that. But, but I understood how insider trading works in those transactions. I can now see that the company is insider trading, and I can see what they're going to do. That's what I can do to make money. ”

When Link heard this, he smiled and said, "So, although you don't know the inside story, you can follow those insider trading to invest." ”

"Yes. Many small companies usually rely on the insider information provided by the big investment company and operate according to the instructions of the other party. That's actually a support for big companies, beating the side drum. It's actually the same for my company. But I'm on my own, and I won't have any interests with those big companies, and the money I make belongs to me. ”

"But it's also very risky. If yours get the attention of those big companies, maybe they'll kill you first. ”

Pete laughs and says, "When they notice me, I'll find a big company to get closer." Just like those other small companies. ”

"So, you just don't have the capital to start?"

Pete put down the dishes and said, "It sounds hurtful, but you're right. I just wanted to get startup funding from you. The boss of Axe Kings believes that I have provided evidence against him for the prosecution and that he has made it impossible for me to get a job on Wall Street. There is no way to pull in funds. ”

"So you came to Las Vegas to try your luck. Link also put down his knife and fork and frowned. "Well, now you have a formidable enemy. And you don't seem to have much chance of winning. Why did I give you my money as ammunition. ”

"Link, I think you must know Robin Hood. He was weak, but he successfully fought against kings and nobles, and he became a hero to the commoners. ”

Link smiled and said, "But I didn't know that he was asking the nobles to help him." ”

"You're not a nobleman, Link!" Pete said slowly, shaking his head. "The aristocracy had their own domain, they socialized with other nobles, and they talked about the political and economic direction of the whole country and the whole world. What they say, they say. And you don't have any of that. So, you're not a nobleman. At most, it was just a wealthy commoner waiting for the nobility to plunder. ”

Link pursed his lips and couldn't help nodding his head and said, "You're right. I really am just a wealthy commoner. Waiting for the commoners who were plundered by those nobles. ”

Pete smiled and said, "Although we will look at what the nobles do when we are still commoners, most of us aspire to become the new nobles. I think Link, you think the same way I do. ”

Link can't deny that. There is no one who does not want to be of higher status and more property.

Pete looked at him eagerly and said, "I've studied you, Link. You are a very lucky person. And you're smart too. You pull out while you still have patience in the casino. And at this time, you have robbed a lot of wealth from those nobles in just over a month. However, they are forced to admit that you are rich, but will not take the initiative to accept you as one of them. You are an already wealthy Robin Hood who, in their eyes, is just a robber who steals their wallets. And I am a Robin Hood who wants to be free from poverty, a robber who intends to get the money out of their pockets. So we can join forces. You are a sharpshooter. Me too. The way you shoot arrows, the nobles already know, and the rules are made not to let you shoot arrows like that. So you need a different kind of archery. I can use that different archery technique to rob you of more wealth from the nobles. But I don't have enough arrows, and I need your help. ”

Link groaned.

Pete stopped talking and waited quietly for his decision.

In the middle of the ring, Link looked up and said, "You managed to convince me." So, Mr. Robin Pitt. How many arrows do you need. ”

An irrepressible smile appeared on Pete's face and he said, "One hundred million." Mr. Robin Hans, I need at least 100 million. ”

"At least 100 million?" Link said with a laugh. "Then I can invest you $300 million. ”

"Thank you, thank you very much for your trust. It's not like Pete hasn't worked with so much money, but he can't contain the excitement in his heart. He knew that his second life was halfway there. "Link. I won't let you down. ”

Link made the decision to invest in Flen Pitt. The two began to negotiate an investment agreement.

In accordance with the agreement given by Pete. He would invest in Pitt's company as a restricted partner. He does not own shares in the company and is not involved in the management of the company. The amount he invests will be invested by Pitt's company along with the funds of other partners. Finally, the income is obtained according to the proportion of each partner's capital.

Pitt's company will receive 25% of the proceeds from these investments as corporate income.

The money he invested is redeemable. As long as he makes a written request one month in advance, the income from his funds will be halved in the last month.

Pete provides him with the company's financial statements on a quarterly basis.

Link made a condition for this, saying, "Pete, I need to have the right to audit." At least until I invest more than 30% of the capital controlled by your company. ”

Pete pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Yes." As long as your funds account for 30% of the company's funds, you can audit the company at any time. He knew that Link's request was not excessive. If Link had invested $300 million in him, more than 85 percent of his company's capital would have been Link's. He actually worked for Link, but he didn't have that title. Link was worried about the safety of his funds, and he couldn't refuse.

After the two sides negotiated, Link randomly found two lawyers from the local area, and they signed their names in the presence of the lawyers.

Link put away the agreement and said, "I'll transfer the funds to the account you provided within two days." ”

“OK。 I plan to return to New York in the afternoon to prepare. I can't wait. Pete shook hands with him. "I won't let you down, Link. ”

"I'm sure you won't. The agreement has been signed, he doesn't believe it, can he tear up the agreement immediately. "I just bet $300 million in chips, and I was lucky with the money. ”

He was indeed gambling. If he succeeds, he will get a second path to capital by capital. If it fails, it is considered that you did not win the $300 million from the casino.
