Chapter 227: Cooperation [3]
Durin had met old Flair at the last banquet, but he hadn't spoken. Old Flears was one of the first real estate developers in Illion, and they hoarded a lot of land when it was extremely cheap, and when Illion developed, they built a lot of shopping malls and residences on those lands, and they became fat in one go. Such people are not investing, but speculating, and they are betting that Illian will be able to develop.
Not every speculator can get rich overnight, and the vast majority of speculators may end up with nothing, but the windfall profits of more than ten times or dozens of times still attract many speculators to invest all their assets in a certain area and a certain field in a desperate bet. There are not a few such people, such as the farm couple in the next state, who are not speculators? But their speculation failed, they bought a lot of cheap land without waiting for the rapid development of the city, and as a result, they turned themselves from rich and businessmen to farmers.
They were lucky for them because they didn't go bankrupt, at least the land was still their own. Maybe one day the speed of development of that city will gradually catch up with other regions, and their farm will become a huge gold mine, but no one knows when this day will return, they may not be able to wait, and their children may not be able to wait, so let their grandchildren and descendants sigh at the "wise" decision-making and "long-term" vision of their ancestors!
The detailed information about the Flers father and son was quickly available, the intelligence network of Illian Bitnell City was much faster and faster, and Durin carefully looked at the information in his hand and did not put it down for a long time.
Old Flers was indeed a visionary speculator, and bought large tracts of land at a time when Illion was still in his prime. He thought that Ilian, one of the three deep-water ports of the empire, would definitely change dramatically, so he sold all the assets he could sell, and carried a box of money from the bustling city to the poor and backward Ilian, where he bought all the land he could buy. He built a house here, and his wife became farmers like old couples in the city next door, and then waited for great development.
He mortgaged some of these skins to the bank, borrowed a sum from the bank, and then built nearly a third of the buildings in the first arrondissement. Relying on this huge income, he soon built his land with shopping malls, residential houses, and various other facilities. After becoming a rich man, old Fleur seemed to have lost the courage and ambition to continue to expand and continue to speculate, and he was willing to live a luxurious life here, indulging in daily socializing and socializing.
His son naturally learned the elder Fleur's attitude towards life, only pursuing pleasure and never thinking about what he should do. I'm eighteen years old, and in addition to fooling around with women, I'm getting drunk everywhere with a group of friends who drink and meat. Old Fleur did not care much about his son's negative attitude towards life, and he laughed more than once that his money was enough for him and his son, his grandson, and many more offspring to live a profligate life, and there was no need for his children to run for life anymore.
In addition, little Flears is the only child of old Fleurs, and he must have spoiled him, no matter what he wants or does, old Flears will clean up the mess for him. There have been people who have taken this opportunity to blackmail old Fles before, some have succeeded, and some have failed. The elder Fleur had no ambitions for anything further, but his fortune destined him to become one of the city's most prominent figures.
With extremely broad contacts and wealth, there are few things that he can't put on the table, everything is actually one thing for him, it's just spending money!
There is also a very interesting piece of information in this, in order to be angry with others, little Flears actually directed and acted in a farce to kidnap himself, and successfully defrauded 100,000 yuan from old Flears. Later, old Fleur found out about it and didn't say much, and even he thought that little Flears was really smart.
A life of affluence has left him, a former male lion, without sharp claws, sharp teeth, and his life, his life, and everything he has smelled of decay.
Old Fleur, who has a large number of properties and real estate in his hands, can take an amazing amount of rental fees every month, and he is the real "rich man"!
As for whether he could get a little money out of his pocket through this matter, Durin considered it, but finally gave up. In this matter, he wanted "fame", not "profit". Only when the Gualts understood the existence of him and his fellow townsmen, and recognized him as the president, could the following things develop. Juan would give him a large sum of money if he wanted it, and there were others who would give him a lot of money.
In fact, there is another important factor, that is, the money is not so easy to get.
Old Fleur had only one sister, but she hadn't been in touch for a long time, since he had sold all his possessions to work as a farmer in Illion, and he had long since lost contact. There doesn't seem to be anyone on his wife's side who still keeps in touch, and no one has come to visit them all these years, and the only thing they have to do with is their son. Once their son died, Old Flers would surely explode, and whatever the final outcome, his property and his money would only be able to be cheapened for the City Hall and the Imperial Bank.
It's too hard to get involved, and the time doesn't allow it.
"You arrange this to make sure that nothing is left behind, but you have to let old Fleur know. Dulin stuffed all these intelligence documents to Dover, he didn't have time to work on this lately, and Dulin was able to complete this little thing by himself. He was now going to carry out the second step of the plan and meet the girl, Nasha George.
When Doolin drove outside the hotel, the hotel's concierge took the keys from him, helped him park the car in the garage, and handed the keys to the front desk. People may not have known who Doolin was before, but since that dinner, many people have known who Doolin is, so there is no need to worry about those people getting the keys wrong.
Standing in the elevator, Durin went through the plan in his mind again. Meet Nasha today...... To be precise, the main purpose of coming to meet Nasha's secretary was to convince her that Durin and Juan had already begun to cut off Hu in the southern part of the empire, and to express her thoughts about cooperating with the George family. He didn't need the little secretary to be able to respond directly to his request, he just needed the little secretary not to deny it.
Even the wealthy George family needs to be most cautious and careful when facing an industry layout.
The elevator opened with a slight jolt, and two men immediately greeted it. They were dressed in very modest suits, and one of them also showed a holster hanging from his strap.
"I'm sorry, but this is currently private territory, please leave now if you don't have an appointment. ”
In the face of the bodyguard like two doors, Du Lin was not angry, people could only praise him for his conscientiousness, and he did not do anything wrong, and he did not need to embarrass these people, "I have made an appointment with Ms. Chrissy, I am Du Lin." ”
I don't know if it was because the name Doolin was particularly useful, or if the appointment worked, the two bodyguards got out of the way, and one of them entered the suite at the end of the corridor one step before Doolin, and soon he came out again and invited Doolin in.
This suite belongs to Chriss, the little secretary. When Durin entered the room, he saw Chrissy hunched on her desk, recording something. She didn't look up and pointed to the chair next to her, "I'm sorry, I still have a little thing to review, you can sit down for a while." ”
Durin sat and waited for a while before Chrissy rubbed her wrist and put down the pen, she apologized first, and then after putting away everything on the table, she brought a cup of coffee to Doolin, "Hello, I remember you had some project you wanted to work with us, didn't you?"
Durin smiled, nodded, took a sip of his coffee, "I heard that the George family plans to invest more in the film industry, especially in theaters, right?"
Chrissy didn't hide anything from Durin, every move of a behemoth like the George family can't escape people's eyes, as long as you check it carefully, you will definitely be able to find out, instead of lying boringly, it is better to admit it generously.
"That's true, then what do you mean ......"
Du Lin quietly put down the coffee cup, "I currently own 50% of the East Coast Entertainment Company, and I have also built about 120 new movie theaters in other places. It's hard for me to stand up to the George family on my own, and my thinking is if we don't, why can't we work together?"
"Cooperation?", Chrissy pushed her glasses, "in what form do you want to cooperate?"
"To build a new company, we distribute the equity according to the number of cinemas and the value of each company, and finally run it by professional managers, and the financial situation is fully disclosed internally. Although Chrissy did not directly refute Durin's thoughts, the smile on her face betrayed her true thoughts.
"Mr. Doolin, you may not know that we have set up about four hundred cinemas throughout the Empire, and that number is rising. We are not short of money, nor are we short of businessmen who provide us with land, and we have the ability to complete this project independently, so why should we work with you again?"
