Compared to Jones, James is a real sports star, a rich star. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The money of 1.5 million was paid by James, but it was fake to say that he was not distressed by the money, and when he wrote the check later, his eyes trembled several times.

This is obviously distressing.

Li Du saw this, but he pretended not to see it. With regard to those sneakers, he had conceded enough that he could not continue to concede.

Friendship is friendship, business is business, he regresses a little, he can show his kindness, get James's friendship, if he regresses too much, it is easy to make people feel that he is too weak.

Besides, in order to get these sneakers, he tossed for days, and he also clashed with local treasure hunters in Indiana, and paid the price, if he couldn't make money from them, then what did he want?

In fact, in this way, he is equivalent to not earning, the warehousing and auction business belongs to him and Hans, and the two of them have to score the profits.

Li Du lowered the price to one and a half million, so that their profit was left with 400,000, and he decided not to profit from it himself, and gave all 400,000 to Hans.

This is equivalent to giving up his four or five hundred thousand profits to gain James's friendship.

So, his regression is big enough, he doesn't want to continue to regress, he can't make up the money to Hans, right?

James is also quite good at being a man, in addition to giving this money, he also gave Li Du some tickets.

Ten of those tickets are tickets to their Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns games next season, and some are tickets to other Heat games.

The tickets he gave were all in the front row, including the front row tickets, which could not be bought with money, and were used by the team or the stars of the house for personal favors.

So, not long after the two truckloads were delivered to Phoenix, they had to get back on the road.

When they parted, Li Du smiled and said, "Mr. Jones, this time you rent a warehouse, don't forget to pay the fee." ”

Jones was depressed when he mentioned this, and he said with a dark face: "Thank you, I will never forget it again in my life!" Damn, I will continue to fight the lawsuit with the Walking Horse Warehouse Company, I just didn't pay a few hundred dollars in lease money, and he actually auctioned off my two million things!"

Li Du comforted: "In life, it is inevitable to encounter unsatisfactory things, I hope you can win, they are a bit too much." ”

Jones said angrily: "I leased the warehouse company because they were related to the team. I know, now I'm with the Mavericks, and the Walkers are annoyed by that, but I'm being traded, damn it, I'm a victim!"

James patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let the lawyer communicate, your anger won't help." ”

He turned around and waved at Li Du and said, "Goodbye, man, it's nice to meet you, I hope you can go and watch our ball, I swear, you'll see a great fight." Next season, we're going to punish the whole league!"

Two days later, Li Du participated in an auction in Phoenix, he was not interested, there were no very valuable things in these auctions, at most he gained some small items.

Hans and the masturbation officer counted the things, and he sat bored and chatted with his classmates.

At this time, Cole called him, and Li Du answered in confusion and asked, "Hello, man, what's the matter?"

Cole smiled: "I'll check your mailbox later, I sent you an invitation to the annual meeting, see if you have time to come to New York." ”

Li Du was surprised: "Isn't the annual meeting invitation in January?"

At that time, he was preparing for the Chinese New Year in China, and although he received a notice, he really couldn't participate.

"Twice a year, we have an annual meeting every six months, and this time you'd better come over and introduce you to some of our Harry Winston shareholders and key customers. ”

Li Du said: "Okay, I usually go, I don't have anything to do during this time." ”

It's time for him to go to the annual meeting, and now he's one of the top five shareholders in the Winston Group.

Cole said: "Then I'll say welcome in advance, I'm here to introduce you to a guy, there is a bit of a contradiction between the two of you, of course, it's not a big deal." ”

Li Du wondered, "Contradiction? Who am I contradictory to?"

Cole laughed, "It's not a big deal, let me keep it a little mysterious." ”

After a casual conversation, Li Du was about to hang up the phone, but then he was so happy that he suddenly asked, "Has my buddy Steve Tucsenberg been invited?" ”

Cole said, "Of course, we invited him, how could we ignore the Vanderbilt family? ”

Li Du's purpose was achieved, and he heard a key word, the Vanderbilt family, so that Steve's identity was slowly revealed.

Hanging up the phone, he asked Hans next to him: "The Vanderbilt family, do you know this family?"

Hans laughed: "Of course, Americans know that in 2007, when Forbes ranked the 15 richest people in American history, the founder of this family, Cornelius Vanderbilt, was ranked third, behind John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie ......."

Li Du asked with interest: "Tell me all the news you know." ”

Hans wondered: "Why are you asking this? Go and see on the Internet, there is more information on the Internet, I actually only know some basic information, this family is very low-key, it is said that it has lost its glory." ”

Hearing his words, the wolf brother next to him shook his head.

Li Du noticed it and asked in surprise, "Do you know this family?"

Brother Wolf nodded: "Vanderbilt, I met the people of their family, when they visited Munich, they were personally accompanied by the Minister of Finance, the Mayor of Munich and the parliamentarians, and I was part of the security system at that time. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Du understood that this family must not be in decline as Hans said, otherwise the German government would not have paid so much attention to them.

He had also heard of this family, but he only learned a little about it when he watched the news, and he only remembered that it seemed to be a transportation giant.

Later, he searched for relevant information on the Internet, and a huge friendless family surfaced.

The Kneelliers Vanderbilt, the Carnegie and Rockefeller rival Hans is talking about, was the founder of the family, born in 1784 on Staten Island, New York.

He was a legend who dropped out of school at the age of 11 because of his family's poverty, and at the age of 16 borrowed $100 from his father to buy a small boat and began ferrying between Staten Island and Manhattan Island.

Starting with this 100 yuan, he gradually became the shipping giant of New York State at that time.
