Chapter 238: Rift [3]

"I don't think I need to introduce him, the two of them must know each other. Juan is introducing Durin and Dove to Madeste.

Sometimes the world is so interesting that the Church has repeatedly reiterated that alcohol is a demonic temptation to mankind, and that there are strict standards for prohibition in theocratic law. Any believer who has drunk alcohol after believing in God will be expelled from the Church, and it can be said that alcohol is a taboo word in the Church. It's hard to find out why the church abhors alcohol in the sea of documents, why the church hates alcohol so much, and maybe that's another story.

The attitude of the Church towards wine has always been very clear, and it is ironic that this Cardinal Mr. Madeste and Juan are good friends, does he not know that Juan is a wine merchant who has made his fortune on the wine family? In some documents of the Church, the workshop where wine is made is said to be the place where demons are born, and the owner of the workshop is the father of the devil! In the past many years ago, when the theocracy was above the secular power, countless winemakers were burned to the stake of judgment.

In fact, he knew, he knew better than anyone, because every year Juan sent a lot of wealth to the church. Part of it was an ordinary donation, and part of it was the money he spent in order to follow his destiny and look around for ancient churches for prayer and revelation. Juan's name is known to the entire upper echelons of the church, a guy who doesn't take money for money, and all it takes is a few fools to fool him and he'll stuff a lot of money into the donation box.

Many of the top echelons of the Church were good friends with Juan, and more than half of the cardinals had occasional correspondence with Juan, as for Juan's identity and the diabolical notes in his hand...... God will forgive this lost lamb!

Juan took Madeste's hand and introduced him kindly, "This wonderful young man is the richest and youngest of our Ilians, we all call him Mr. 350,000, and he is also my partner. This is his female companion, Miss Dove, and Dohrin told me earlier that Dove is a devout believer and is looking forward to talking to you. ”

Madeste was a cardinal, and he was also a political figure, and he immediately realized that Juan must have something to say to Durin alone with such an introduction, so he nodded and talked to Dove. The little girl was indeed a little innocent, her face turned red with excitement, and she stammered a little when she spoke, but fortunately Madeste did not urge or resent it, and was always able to listen quietly to Dove's words.

Dove didn't notice that as soon as she spoke to Madeste, Juan tugged at Durin's sleeve and took him to a no-man's corner.

"I thought we'd go to Ms. Chrissy together!", Juan's expression was smiling, but could he tell from his tone that he was actually angry, "I think it's a deception, an act of betrayal!"

When Durin went to see Chriss, he did not ask Juan to come along, which made him very unhappy, because he had no idea what Durin had said and what he had not said during the time he had spent alone with Chrissy, whether he had reached a preliminary conclusion on the question of cooperation, or whether there was really no result. All of this is bothering Juan, who has already scattered more than two million, encircled nearly fifty plots of land in the next state, and the construction of the theater building has begun. Next, he will probably spend a huge amount of money of about 3 million to ensure that he has no less than 100 theater resources in his hands.

However, at this critical moment, Durin went behind his back to see Chrissy, which made him unable to calm down!

Durin smiled and lowered his head and kicked the tip of his shoe, "Mr. Juan, I respect you as an elder, but I will not admit unfounded suspicion and slander. Yes, I did go to see Ms. Chrissy, but I did not hurt you in the slightest way, and I consulted you beforehand, and it was you who decided that we should go our separate ways, and I was not wrong?!"

His tone was a little tougher, and he even threw the question to Juan in turn, "If you had chosen us to continue to inject money into East Coast Entertainment, there would be no such thing as now." You chose it, and you said it now, Mr. Juan, do you think I'm younger than you, so I'm a bully? No one has dared to point a finger at me since the first dollar I earned. Please don't take my respect as a concession to you, it will hurt!", there was something faint in the last sentence that made Juan feel palpitations, his eyes narrowed into slits, and the smile on his face stiffened for a moment.

It had been many years since anyone had dared to blatantly threaten him in Illian City, and now Durin's threatening words made him feel strange, and at the same time, there was also a trace of facts that he had not shown before. In the face of Durin's implicit threat of harm, his first thought was not to fight back, but to avoid. He squinted his eyes and stared at Durin's eyes with a fierce light, and at this moment he couldn't find the smiling old man he had before.

Durin met his gaze without flinching, even sharper than his!

His heartstrings suddenly relaxed, the smile on his face also returned to sunshine, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Maybe I drank a little too much at night, and my words were a little chaotic." He pondered his words for a moment and continued: "I apologize for what I said earlier, I am indeed a little anxious, I have invested too much energy and financial resources in this, so I hope you can understand. ”

Durin also had a smile like sunshine on his face, "I also need to apologize to you, you know that I am still young, and sometimes I can't control my temper, so the way I speak is a little too much. ”

The two of them couldn't see the anger of drawing their swords and crossbows just now, Juan took a sip of wine, he didn't clink glasses with Durin, which was also a manifestation of his reflection of his true thoughts through details, "What do you think about this matter of cooperation with the George family?", his tone softened a lot, and he didn't talk in a superior manner, putting the two sides on the plane of equality.

Naturally, Du Lin would not continue to spoil the atmosphere at this time, he explained, "I directly stated with Ms. Chrissy that we already have a huge amount of resources in our hands, and if we can't cooperate with each other, the George family will not be able to monopolize the field of cinema chains, and in the end it can only form a situation of separation between the north and the south." And this is an outcome that neither we nor the George family can accept. So there is no second way for us to go other than cooperation. ”

After hearing this, Juan thought for a while, nodded cautiously and agreed with Du Lin's statement, "Yes, if you can't monopolize it, it means that all the initial investment of the George family has failed, and no matter who proposes this plan, your status in the George family will drop a lot." It will be difficult for them to refuse our offer unless they stop immediately and sell their upfront investments. If they do that, we can just take it over at a lower price, and we can also have a monopoly. ”

If you can really monopolize an industry, even if you don't cooperate with the George family, it's acceptable. It is the best way to cooperate with the George family before their own strength is insufficient, this is like a relationship, or even a non-substantive business card, and having this aura is of great benefit to future exhibitions. But if you can't cooperate in exchange for monopolizing an industry, it is not impossible, it is also a manifestation of strength and a symbol of status.

The two hypocritically did not talk about how power would be divided after cooperation or non-cooperation, Durin did it on purpose, while Juan held back his strength. Not only will he have to do it, but he will have to pass Doolin, and if he can, he will even propose to kick Doolin out!

The two talked and laughed for a while, and then returned to Madeste, at this time Dove seemed to have become the most devout Catholic, and after some reluctance to follow Durin out of Madeste, she said to Durin with excitement how kind Madest was, how upright, and how devout to God was.

Sometimes saying a sentence two or three times doesn't feel anything, but if you say too much, you will inevitably get a little bored, Durin sneered and shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, I can let Madest kiss my forehead and praise me as the most devout believer?"

"How is that possible?", Dove immediately retorted, "only ten people are blessed every year on God's Day, and you are not a believer, he will not do that." ”

Durin shrugged his shoulders, "Nothing is impossible when money goes from a physical to a chain of numbers!"

The buffet ended quickly, after all, there was a charity gala later. Durin sat in the middle of the second row, and Scott told him that he was the ninth on the left hand in the first row, which was too far away, so Durin volunteered to sit in the second row. If you have money and strength, even if you sit in the last row, you can attract people's attention all the time, if you don't have anything, even if you sit on the podium, no one will look at you more.

Just like the charity gala in Turnaire City, most of the things auctioned are worthless gadgets, but they will be bought back by the original owner for a large price, which is also to avoid expensive things from being snapped up by others.

In just over an hour, more than 800,000 donations were raised, and the wrinkles on Madeste's face were about to be smoothed out.

Of course, he did not forget the main purpose of this visit to Illion, and left directly with Scott after the meeting, and he also had to go to see the mayor.
