Now that they have come back from a long trip, Shi Lei and Laura naturally need to go to the elders on both sides to have a look, and by the way, they will bring back all kinds of dried meat and wart pork and other souvenirs to the elders.

And on this trip to Los Angeles, Shi Lei and they still have their own things to take care of. I went to my parents' place to put down all kinds of gifts, and accompanied my parents to have a good chat about what I had seen and heard about this trip to Africa, and coaxed my parents to be happy Shi Lei and they came out.

Laura's storefront is basically done, and she needs to come over to sign the final agreement and start preparing for the storefront renovation. The person in charge of helping to deal with this matter must be the big butler Greens.

When they arrived, Greens had already talked to each other. Of course, Lee, a busy man, had to be there.

After a brief look at the agreement, Laura signed her name. This rare storefront in Beverly Hills is in Laura's name, and of course only for a few years.

The homeowner doesn't plan to sell here, it's a hen that lays golden eggs. Of course, if the cost is big enough, it can definitely be discussed, but for Laura, there is no need.

The store isn't huge, and in a few years, with the development of Laura's private label, the small store may not be enough. It can be said to be a stopgap measure, and it is enough to rent it for a few years.

Although the store is not very large, fortunately, the first floor is located on the street, and there is a large window with a fairly large area, which can be used to display your proud works.

The second floor is much larger than the first floor, and this is the place for guests to try on clothes and place orders, which is very beneficial for the privacy of guests.

And the space on the first floor is enough to display all of Laura's current works, and when it comes to new ones, it's good to remove the previous ones from the shelves. It just so happens that Laura's side must be new, and the old model is estimated to be discontinued. There is no need to continue to put it out.

Originally, Laura's brand, even if it took a niche route, this approach is more conducive to enhancing the status of independent brands, and each piece is out of print and has many gimmicks.

Now that the store has been ordered, it is natural that Laura, the designer, has to design it herself. The style of the store and that desired feel no one knows better than Laura herself.

And Laura, as a designer, has participated in the decoration of a private restaurant or something, so she is still relatively clear about how to implement her ideas. So she can take care of the renovation by herself. Of course, the specific construction must be completed by a professional decoration company.

This is now her own territory, so when Laura turns this circle again, she naturally has a different mood. I went up and down well, and I already had a score in my heart.

Here Laura is busy, worrying about her first directly affiliated brand store, and Shi Lei is not idle here. He found Grimes and Jack, who happened to be here. The two guys Li told them about their intention to cooperate with Mr. Lancelot and Lefou.

Poor Grimes Butler. I had to go to Africa to see what was going on there. Calculate how many shares Shi Lei can occupy with a capital of 20 million. This aspect definitely still needs a professional like Greens to do, and Shi Lei just needs to make sure that this project has a head.

Thinking of the two collaborators, they will not press Shi Lei's share too low. After all, they are all in one camp, and they don't see anyone who looks down and doesn't see each other. It's hard to say that you are exploiting your own friends and spreading it.

When necessary, just let Liu Jie help. During this time, after Liu Jie's hard work day and night, Shi Lei's tax declaration work was finally completed. With Liu Jie's unremitting efforts, Shi Lei finally rescued a lot of small money from the IRS.

It's just that some of the funds have been put into Shi Lei's many overseas accounts. If you want to mobilize a large amount of money to go back to Midi's side, it will be inconvenient. However, Shi Lei has no plans to make any big moves in Midi at present, so this is not a big problem for Shi Lei.

It's just a lot of gambling money that Shi Lei made through gambling before. It is still inevitable that more taxes will be levied. Who let this part of the money circulate in the territory of Midi.

Not being stripped off a layer of skin is very inconsistent with the capitalist nature of Midi. So Shi Lei had no choice but to look at it with a heartache, this shrunk a piece of legal income.

As for the matter of this cooperation in the private reserve, it is natural to call the funds on Shi Lei's overseas accounts. has been putting a lot of cash in the bank, seeing that they are losing money, Shi Lei also feels distressed, so he has been looking for new industrial investment recently.

Out of the consciousness of a turtle and the awe of the rollercoaster stock market, Shi Lei has always been accustomed to investing money in those industries that he feels are more reliable.

He would even rather let the cash sit on the account and eat dust, rather than invest it in the financial market, buy financial products that may turn into waste paper at any time, or make your mood jump all the way down like the line chart, and finally make you want to jump off the building with it.

Those guys on Wall Street have contacted Shi Lei more than once, after all, there is such a cash-rich guy there, this is a big fat sheep in the eyes of everyone.

They promise high interest rates, but given their reputation as executioners, and they do have a knack for turning other people's money into their own.

Shi Lei didn't plan to put his money into the hands of these vampires. Other people's agreements will not state to you how much income must be brought to you every year.

Besides, even if it is written, the company is bankrupt and protected or something, you don't cry and have nowhere to go. Although in that case, their biggest creditor may be their own leather bag company.

These guys play this hand, and the one that plays is called a mastery, and changing the vest or something is the same as playing. And these guys, in general, are not on the same front as Franklin. Pitting a new junior like Shi Lei, it is really stress-free.

So Shi Lei still decided that it was more reliable to play his business honestly. And these possible cooperation opportunities, in addition to some from friends on the same front, more must be explored by Shi Lei himself. He's thinking about these things every day now.

At present, the various investments on the side of Midi are not bad, and they can be regarded as standing. Just to seek greater opportunities for development, we need to look beyond the area around Los Angeles, and we need to broaden our horizons.

Of course, these are all issues that need to be considered in the future, and for now, Shi Lei still took the opportunity of Laura being busy looking at the store, and took Bai Xue to go on a blind date for it.

Shi Lei discussed with Bai Xuetong in advance about spiritual communication, and when it took a fancy to whichever one it liked, it would call it twice, and Shi Lei would understand what it meant. The dog didn't have the idea of being shy about the match, so Bai Xue generously nodded and agreed.

After going around all the kennels agreed before, Bai Xue finally took a fancy to one, which should be a handsome guy from the big white bear dog family.

From a human point of view, this big white bear dog is also impeccable in appearance, and its condition is very perfect, so Shi Lei directly bought it.

Of course, good goods have a good price, and tens of thousands of US dollars are smashed down, which can be regarded as heavy bleeding. But after thinking about it, any puppy they have will not exceed this price, and Shi Lei will hand over the money with peace of mind. Take this handsome guy in the big white bear dog and go back to find Laura together.

Laura was almost on the side, and she was very happy to see the new male dog, so she put her mind down for a while and had a good time with the two dogs.

Since he came to Los Angeles, Shi Lei definitely has to go to the Rock Fitness Center to have a look. As the results of fresh shrimp are getting better and better, the popularity of the rock center has also been further improved. More martial arts enthusiasts are coming to the rocks to train.

The level of the various martial arts halls here is not low, and these young people who just came with curiosity were left. Of course, the rock has the current situation, and it is inseparable from the support of Kebi and Liao Chengjun's fame.

Shi Lei went to Master Kane's gym, and unsurprisingly still met Tony here. I don't know why this product is so idle every day, and I will be compared every time, and then I will inevitably be counted. Then it was naturally two fights with Tony and Master Kane.

Little junior brother Allen, now his condition has been adjusted to the best. Shi Lei also went up to do a sparring partner for Allen, but he didn't have a real fight with Allen. You have to give him enough confidence to go to the ring and show off his skills.

He's already cleared to compete in the lower MMA tournament and is about to make his first official fight, so he's been adjusting all the time.

I sent the gifts I brought back from Africa to my master, and by the way, I also gave some to Tony and Allen. They can eat these jerky or something, and it is still necessary for people who exercise a lot to supplement more protein.

Under Master Kane's eyes, Shi Lei said goodbye again with some stumbling. Is this far away, it is indeed an objective reason. Besides, Shi Lei didn't slack off on his training in martial arts, so Master Kane just glanced at Shi Lei a few times unhappily, but he didn't blame him too much.

After all, Shi Lei's current fighting skills are really strong, and compared with Master Kane, he loses in experience, especially in actual combat experience.

If Shi Lei and the master are the same body, Shi Lei may have a tie with the master. Of course, if he is serious, Kane can kill Shi Lei in a short time, and this is the gap between them.

Coming out of the center of the rock, Shi Lei took Laura and the two big white bear dogs who were already a little glue-like and went back to the ranch together.

Laura needs to quickly put some of her ideas for the brand store on paper, and Shi Lei also has to rush back to deal with some formalities and so on. Because many of the things he harvested from his trip to Africa happened to be delivered to the stone pasture today. (To be continued......) R1292
