14 Curiosity, playfulness
When he returned from the funeral, Grande received a call from Allen's funeral home, who was their financial accountant, and first politely asked Zach if he had read the preliminary asset report sent by Mr. Allen yesterday.
"Look, it's just that Alan told me very directly that he wants to make money, so I don't know how much your price will go up. ”
The other party should have been a little embarrassed by this straightforwardness, "We have already sorted out the details here, and we will go over with the legal representative to explain it to Mr. Grande in person." ”
So it was just a notification call, and Zach didn't say much, "Then I'll wait." "Hung up.
Zach wasn't unprepared, and after Allen left yesterday, Zach pleased, no, hire a friend. A lawyer friend in the gray professional circle, Kauft, a ...... in asset law Legal experts in the gray professional circle, so ...... In short, he will act as Grande's legal representative for the acquisition of Allen.
After dialing the phone, Zach naturally smiled, because when he hired the other party yesterday, the other party gave Grande a friendship discount, "Koft, I received a notice from Alan, they will come over today, do you have time?"
"Absolutely. Oh, I've almost collected the information here. I'll come right over. ”
Zach hung up the phone with a smile, and didn't want to waste the time he waited, to see Georgina.
"I feel like I've learned a little bit about it. Zach opened with a slight smugness, "During the funeral, in order to maintain the professionalism of the funeral director, I found that stiffness again, and the transition was smoother." ”
Zach should be a guy with a special talent, and yesterday he still needed to rub his face and switch expressions, but today he will be smooth. It seems that when it comes to adapting to new abilities, he always has an inexplicable place to achieve. Remember the ability to get images, I didn't see him practice hard, but he didn't bother the rearview mirror, and when we noticed, he was already proudly trying to install a mirror in the Grande.
"Happy what. Georgina was upset with Zach's pride, "What's there to be happy about being able to suppress the flow of blood in the middle of a group of humans." ”
"Not only humans, but also angels Camille, demons, Louise and Matthew. Zach pouted, but it seemed that they didn't notice that Zach was controlling the flow of blood, could it be that his stiffness was just self-righteous?
"Hmph. It looks like you've not even figured out the essence of this technique. Georgina should have wanted to hit Zack, "Threatless soul aliens, their own descendants, young wolves who are too far apart in rank, it doesn't matter if you fall asleep in front of them and become a 'corpse', stiff, hum." ”
"Essence?" Zach was studious, "Am I misunderstood, isn't this technique to keep normal activity as much as possible while clotting blood flow?" Zach waved his hand, "Of course, when I say stiffness, in addition to the slowness of my own blood flow being controlled, there is also my own sluggishness in movement, although it can't be like yours, but I think it's progress, nothing to do." ”
"Yes. Georgina's tone was mocking, "Me and Rob...... I'm in the middle. "Don't mention those who don't exist anymore," the normal daily activity of practicing this technique is to survive among the hated Nophiles, and to be on the lookout for hunters. Glancing at Zack, "What is your normal activity, giving a funeral to someone." Yes, you're improving, really a big improvement. ”
Zach pursed his lips, and the taunt was taken in its entirety, then slyly changed the subject, "I remember you said before that this trick is something that all vampires can master, but it's best for you. Do you have any special talents, and you've been borrowing them in Grande's warehouse for so long, would you like to share them?"
Georgina tilted her head, not about to answer.
"You've been here for so long, too, though it's not good to say. Zach curled the corners of his mouth, and obviously, the vampire would still say, "I don't really feel much about you when you were a human, just a normal girl." I know a little more about you now. ”
Georgina frowned and pursed her lips, her face ugly. Zach has often run to remind and taunt her that she is still hiding here and not daring to appear in front of James, and she is so annoyed that if Zach wants to sum it up, then she will ......
That's not what Zach was going to say, "You don't have a trace of reverence for my bloodline, just like you used to think in [Time Elves] that I was the one who annoyed James, you will roll your eyes at me, you will be impatient with me. Zach paused, "Among the Grande, the biggest class difference is not me and Matthew, Benjamin is the direct transmission of the alpha, he inherited the alpha blood Papa created the original alpha blood at midnight, and the class difference between me and Benjamin, and even Matthew is only age." Zach waved his hand, helplessly, the class difference brought about by this age is under the blessing of spices and aconite soup...... Forget it, you get the idea.
"It's you, even when I don't control the blood flow, I can't feel how many generations you are, probably descendants to the point where I instinctively don't want to pay attention. Zach saw that Georgina's ugly face did not improve, and knew that he was right, so he continued, "You don't have the slightest performance as an ant to see the gods. Respect?" Zach pouted himself, "Don't talk about this boring thing, anyway, it's okay to be afraid." Unfortunately not. Am I too approachable?"
Typical self-questioning, "No, the same thing happened to the Hardy brothers who had never touched me at all." I used to think that they were new students, and they didn't get used to or even understand the vampire bloodline suppression, but it didn't seem to be, no. Zach looked at Georgina and was serious, "I, now the top of Toredo's bloodline, in front of you, is nothing, right?" ”
Georgina couldn't avoid Zack's gaze, so she simply said, "Yes! Vampire bloodline suppression doesn't exist for us!"
Remember John once said that vampire bloodline suppression is stupid, the immortal vampire, the more powerful the vampire as he lives, the one at the top, almost becomes a god. John also said that the Holy Lord also found himself creating a super stupid system, so he created new vampires to rid the original vampire race that had become a cancer in the world. Of course, what John said about Papa's midnight opinion, is it true, and it is embarrassing that no one refutes or proves it in the Federation here.
Zach nodded, and actually smiled, "Tell me more about this amazing talent." Satisfy my curiosity, how did it come ......"
"I can't satisfy your curiosity! I'll be with Torredo and them for a month! Then they fled back to the west, and Robb ...... "Don't mention the non-existents," "I'm back to Patton!" I can't give you an answer to whatever you want to ask, because I don't know!"
The two were silent for a moment at the same time. Zach nodded in disappointment, "If you don't know, you don't know." ”
Zach said goodbye and left the warehouse, it was time for the guests to arrive, and it was very convenient to show up together.
"Koft. "Politely introduce your own representative, it can only be polite, Alan did not come in person, only the accountant and lawyer who had spoken on the phone with Zach before, and Zach didn't even have the intention of remembering the other party's name.
Bring people directly into the office, let them sit at the workbench to have a good discussion, and I called Louise up, sat at the desk and pretended to be busy with work and couldn't stop for a moment.
Why did you have to call Louise to pretend to be it, because we knew that Zach hadn't even read Madison's mill work report. Allen's funeral home is a pure cremation business, and if Grande buys it, it will also fall under the jurisdiction of Madison, and Grande's group of aliens will definitely not want to touch it. Then such a deliberate arrangement is easy to understand, purely to put pressure on the Alan side on the other side of the workbench-
To tell the truth, whether you can accept Alan or not, Grande is thriving, compared to the Alan funeral that you can't run until you want to sell, don't look too cumbersome, too unworthy~
In fact, Grande didn't have to be so deliberate, that gray professional, Kauft had already pressed the other party out of breath.
"Public auction?" "What qualifications do you have to let people bid, who will come......?" I remember that they were doing food imports in the Western District, and they once cooperated on a small case, why, it is not enough to cross the border and cross the district, it is necessary to cross the horizon. ”
"These are companies that are interested in acquisition, inform you that Grande is ......"
"Don't be a business, the privatization of funerals has only been more than half a year, don't look too much at yourself, the burden cut by the city government, no one was willing to accept it half a year ago, so you can only throw it away to you guys who keep the old book, hmph, now that you have finished eating, do you still expect a company to accept it? ”
Zach pouted here, and his ideas were broadened. Indeed, the funeral industry is a burden, and every year the city government has to allocate funds to support the foreign, and Anthony himself said that those lands should be given to the living...... It's just that, if it weren't for Kauft's own side, Zach really wished he could say it tactfully.
We should also understand that Grande can live so comfortably because of luck, tomb moving, Herman, and income from the gray profession. When our vampires first had a crisis of lack of money, this crisis was strangely erased. The fact is that Allen's old book is gone to sell, and Ford struggles to find a way to make money from the living.
"Alright, let's stop talking nonsense. Koft glanced at his counterparts across from him, "The presence of our two guys here at least shows that we both have a bottom in our hearts, these are all false, and I want to admit that you have worked hard to raise the price." Anyway, since everyone understands in their hearts, let's skip these useless things, let's do what we are good at, let's have a preliminary agreement. Oh, there's no one in the world who is better at playing with agreements than a lawyer. Take it out, your sales contract, hehe, it's better not to make it too rough, it will hurt your self-esteem too much when I see it at a glance. ”
The faces of the two people opposite were already black.
"Not prepared? no, it's insincere. Koft held his mouth and began to rummage through his briefcase, "Then look at me, I'm ready." "Shook off the two documents, "The traps for you in the contract are marked with red circles." ”
Zach and Louise don't pretend to be anything anymore, watch the show.
"What's this, what is this?rent, lease contract?"
"Ah, yes, I saw the first lap. "Yes, we don't buy, we rent, rent your land, rent your house, rent your staff and equipment, for half a year." ”
"How ......" black purple and interrupted.
"I checked your Allen's business income in the past six months, plus your proportion in Patton's funeral business, and calculated, the time that can bring profit to Grande is half a year, no more, no less. ”
"What the hell are you talking about!" the accountant was furious, "Is there anything you calculated! The proportion of Patton's funeral business?! The removal of graves in the West Side alone added one-third to Grande, and the compensation from the Herman factory added a sum to Grande for nothing! It is completely unfair, how can this be used to calculate Allen's profitability!"
"What are you excited about, I am a lawyer, not an accountant, what I will do is to draft a contract, a contract that maximizes the interests of my employer. Am I wrong in this calculation? The relocation of graves in the West End is a compensation plan of the city government, and the fact that Grande has a cemetery is an advantage, sorry, but this advantage for all cremation will continue to exist in the future. The accident compensation at the Herman factory has nothing to do with the cemetery, and it is purely commercial, and I haven't seen you fight for it, so I have any reason to believe that your Allen Funeral Home cares about fairness. ”
What else did the accountant want to say, he was held down by their lawyer, and calmed down a little, "Let's not talk about the agreement to rent employees, the cost of the venue, equipment, and monthly rent on your top is only 3% of the discount of the annual loss, isn't it too bullying." ”
"Oh, see the second and third laps? "Kauft seems to be very casual," the employee aside, in terms of instrument resources, according to my employer, Mr. Grande...... Zach nodded cooperatively, "According to the information provided, Grande's mill was subject to malicious bidding in the process of new construction and even operation. Hmph, you can't expect us to be so generous, right, what you took is now sent to us, and you are lucky to think that we will not take it back?"
"You're slandering ......"
"Tsk. Kauft shook his finger and pointed to the pale accountant, and said to the lawyer, "As a colleague, I remind you to know more about your employer before you do things, and you will be more confident." ”
Ask a question, the funeral industry, which used to be under the jurisdiction of the city government, needs to have its own legal team. No, that's why as soon as privatization appeared, they were all dumbfounded, and they could only passively accept the fact that they were abandoned by the city government. After privatization, as I just said, it has only been half a year, and everyone is still adapting to the new rules of survival. So this lawyer, like Kauft, came halfway.
"Then we'd better not talk about it now. "The other party is still a little sane.
"Okay, take this contract away, there are still many laps behind, you haven't seen it yet. I have come up with a good response, next time, remember to take some sincerity, hehe, do what our lawyers should do, and make a compromise ......that everyone can accept."
The scene was so short that the guests didn't want to endure the insults of their peers and left. (To be continued.) )
