Chapter 205: Anger [4/4] Unproofed, subscribe later
Scott was a little surprised when he came to see Doolin, he really didn't expect Doolin to be so rich and become one of the bidders in District 8. The bidding is actually just an external statement, and after the planning of the eighth district came out, basically these projects were divided up by the major forces. All the participants knew that this was definitely a money-making project, and it was only natural that they would flock to Ilian, and some of the big conglomerates even put forward the idea of "packing", wanting to swallow all the projects in Ilian District 8 in one go.
The mayor naturally refused, the introduction of so many forces from different regions and camps is to check and balance, if a certain force is really swallowed by the whale, maybe it will not be the eighth district of Ilian, but a special administrative district next to Ilian City, or even another town and city!
After rounds of fierce price battles, many forces finally made a preliminary decision on what projects each force was responsible for, and those projects with the biggest future prospects and the best prospects have long been gone, leaving only some marginal areas or projects that are not favored by the people have not yet been cared for. Originally, the mayor did not plan to continue to invite other forces to carve up these projects, but planned to do it himself by the city hall, which could be regarded as a deep imprint on the eighth district.
Unexpectedly, in this case, Durin could still put his hand in, which really surprised him. Surprise is surprise, but it is definitely not an accident, Durin yesterday did a good job of resolving a riot that could threaten the reputation and prosperity of Illion, and he saved not only the current Illian, but also the Eighth District. Once the problems of Illion have deteriorated dramatically, the forces of the Eighth District will never invest a penny in this place with a bad social evaluation, and will even turn around and attack the town hall to meet some of their own needs. So it makes sense that Durin can be shortlisted.
What surprised Scott was that Dulin was rich, it was a multi-million-dollar club, and he actually went in like this? Just with his jewelry store? It's impossible to think about this kind of thing, right? Scott inexplicably remembered that there were rumors about Dulin outside, saying that he was trafficking in human beings, opening a smuggling mine, etc., maybe it was all true?!
"You're early!", Durin was wet all over his body, wearing only a pair of short swimming trunks, he had just climbed out of the pool, and the maid was wiping his body for him. He took the bath towel and waved it at the maid, wiped off the few remaining droplets, draped it over his shoulders, and went to the pavilion in the garden with Scott, "How many options do I have now?"
Scott unfolded a miniature version of the plan, in which many of the blocks were colored, except for a few places around it that were white. He pointed to one of the slightly larger white areas and said: "In the plan, a playground needs to be built here, and the very large one requires at least five million investment, and may need to be added later." ”
Durin glanced at it with some curiosity and asked, "Shouldn't the amusement park be a project that everyone is competing for? Why is no one willing to invest in this project?", what theme amusement parks that Doylin saw in his dream are all cash cows, and one of the rat people amusement park earns tens of billions of stars and stripes a year. According to the prices and consumption of this world, there are one or two hundred million less, right?
In fact, it is not that these forces are mistaken, but that Durin himself is wrong. The income of the rat-man company he saw in his dream in amusement parks and resorts ignored how many years it took the rat-man to make the people of the whole world accept the rat-man and the rat-man culture, and the accumulated heritage of hundreds of years to create an admirable income. And there is no such thing as a theme park in this world, most of the so-called amusement parks have some entertainment equipment, and then there are flowers and plants and places to watch various stage plays, which is completely different from the amusement park that Durin knows!
If you can earn one or two hundred million a year by putting a few things that can be seen everywhere such as a merry-go-round, I'm afraid that even the leader of the New Party, Mags, can't help but make a move, and will he wait?
Durin guessed from Scott's somewhat strange expression that he might be wrong, he shrugged his shoulders and patted directly, "I want this project." ”
Scott frowned and hesitated, "Are you sure? You must know that this project is really not very good, the reason why this amusement park is there is purely for the entertainment of the citizens of Illian City, except for the needs of filming, and the professional financial experts on Shelith Street believe that it will take at least five to ten years to recover the cost!"
"I want it!", Durin repeated again, others don't know how to make money in an amusement park, can he not know? In the dream world, there are also many playgrounds that are not rat people, and hundreds of millions of huge profits are taken away every year. In particular, this playground is not completely devoid of themes, the 8th arrondissement itself is a theme, and those things that have been filmed and used, and even some classic or popular movies, can be completely added to it. Of course, this requires another agreement to operate at this time, he is not in a hurry, there is time before it is built.
"Next!"
Scott chuckled a few times, he actually wanted to save money for a super-rich man? It was really too much, these people couldn't spend all their money, as long as they thought they would be happy to spend it, maybe it would be worth it.
Dührin won three projects in one go, and his wealth once again refreshed the upper limit of Scott's speculation about Doolin's wealth. In addition to an amusement park that is certainly not profitable, there is also a medium-sized farm, as well as the construction of a rockery. To be honest, Scott had never seen such a wayward billionaire, and two of the three projects that Dulin chose were 100% loss-making projects that even the city hall felt were 100 percent at a loss, and the only amusement park that could make a profit was a project that would take seventy, eighty, or ninety years to recoup its costs.
Originally, Scott was still worried that Durin had taken a fancy to someone else's project, but now he is relieved, and everyone is better off if he chooses it this way.
The total investment of the three projects is 9 million, of which 5 million will be used for the amusement park, 3.5 million for the construction of a real mountain, and the remaining 500,000 for the construction of the farm. Scott accomplished his task, and Durin felt that he had taken advantage of it, and everyone was happy.
It's just that Scott doesn't know that he is not reconciled that Durin only used nine million, because he still has millions of cash and more than 20 million worth of gold in his hands, and if he doesn't spend this money, how can he be satisfied? Of course, he won't reveal to Scott how he snatched these items from other people's hands, after all, those ideas may be illegal. As he himself thinks, he still has a lot of time before breaking ground, or even acceptance!
While Durin is discussing with Scott how to spend his money, a bunch of cops enter the Fifth Ward and begin to solve the murder of Abion. This is thanks to Abion's wife, who left the house directly after seeing Abion's body, and to the speculators who instigated the riots so that people did not destroy the scene. Soon the person in charge of solving the case got a lot of important evidence, such as a few bullets, two shoe prints, such as a threatening letter in the drawer of Abion's work desk, and an envelope containing a thousand dollars.
Coupled with the fact that Daddy Latty relayed Durin's words, the Gualts, who were extremely concerned about the matter, began to provide many useful and useless clues, one of which caught the attention of the investigators. Last week, a Gualt worker was accidentally crushed to death by a machine while working, Abion has been running this matter, and finally won 4,500 yuan in compensation for the victim's family, for this incident, the victim's family also personally came to thank Abion for everything he did for them, so that many people respected Abion even more.
With this incident as a paving, plus the threatening letter and the envelope containing 1,000 yuan, the investigators invited two Gualts and police officers to go to the factory where the accident occurred on the spot and invited the person in charge.
In front of many people, the person in charge briefly explained what happened here, and then asked, "How much is your compensation?"
The factory owner wiped his face with a wry smile and said in a pitiful tone full of sympathy: "Most of my factory's income has been paid out for this, how much do you think it should be?", and he then added, "The damn union demanded that I be compensated according to twenty years' salary, and even had to fight a lawsuit against me." In the end, after consulting with Mr. Abion, I decided on a heart-wrenching figure, six thousand dollars!"
All the onlookers were shocked, they looked at the factory owner in disbelief, and the investigators seemed to be able to hear their hearts and help them ask, "Can someone testify that you paid Mr. Abion six thousand dollars?"
The factory owner was stunned for a moment, then blushed and roared angrily, "What? You still want more money from me? Damn, the workers union was there, and there were lawyers, I already signed a letter of understanding with Mr. Abion, I can't give you even a penny more, if you have the ability, you can go to court, vampires!", he flicked his arm, and actually left directly.
The crowd that had been in a commotion for a short time exploded like a volcanic eruption after the silence of the 41 class!
The poor fellow died on the factory floor, and the workers' union even sent a lawyer for this purpose, and it took 6,000 yuan from the factory owner. But Abion only gave 4,500 to the family of the deceased, and embezzled 1,500 yuan. For no reason, the 1,000 yuan in the envelope was part of the 1,500 yuan that had been embezzled, and as for where the other 500 yuan went, the investigators focused on the threatening letter.
But the surrounding Guerts are full of anger!
