On the morning of the third day, Juan's eldest son, with a gloomy face and a hint of anger and inexplicable mockery in his eyes, pushed the door open and walked into Juan's office, slamming the papers Juan had signed with Eric yesterday on the table.

Juan looked up at his eldest son, "Do you have an opinion about me, or do you have a problem with this thing on the table?"

Juan's children were not fuel-efficient lamps and they wanted to gain a higher status and more power in the family, but Juan never gave them everything they wanted. In Juan's eyes, these children were still a little too immature, although no one could do anything to him and his business in Illian as long as he was alive for a day, and no one dared to do anything to his children, but he was not so reassured.

In many cases, Juan also knows very well that he should actually let go of some of his power and property to teach his children to take care of and cultivate their ability to work. Rising from the crowd, Juan has more control over power than his sanity, knowing that he was wrong to do so and unable to make a final decision.

In this environment, his children will naturally complain, the eldest son is already twenty-nine years old, and he has two children, and now he is the manager of only one bar, and he manages the bar instead of Juan, and has no power in decision-making.

The pain is that whether Juan's children work in the family business or leave the family business to start a business, they can't get rid of the shadow that Juan has placed on them, and it's not surprising that some resentment is not a strange thing.

With a mocking smile, the eldest son, Cullen, pushed the papers and the bank's rubbings in his hand in front of Juan, who stared at his eldest son for a few seconds before bowing his head calmly. He just glanced at it, and his brow furrowed.

The rubbings of the bank documents are simple, Eric had mortgaged all the shares of East Coast Entertainment to the bank some time ago, in other words, the equity transfer agreement signed by Juan and Eric two days ago was invalid, and his $1 million promissory note was thrown into the water.

Juan, who had a bit of a headache, looked up at his eldest son again, who shrugged his shoulders, "I've gone to catch Eric myself, but he's gone." Not only are our men arresting him, Doolin's men are arresting him, but there are a lot of people who are looking for Eric. There are about 20 to 30 deceived people in the whole city, and the regional police department has counted that the total amount of money defrauded has exceeded 4 million!"

For Cullen, he is completely a joke mentality, Juan is old, but he is not willing to give up any power, although the children have a lot of complaints about him, no one dares to say anything, at least so far there has been no failure of investment proves that Juan's so-called "fate" argument is indeed a bit miraculous. But now such an unexpected investment failure has caused great damage to Juan's authority in the family.

"I don't believe that a person can disappear without leaving any clues, that someone must have seen Eric, knew what he did, or where he went, find this person, and then give him a sum of money and let him tell us everything he knows. Juan made a decision almost without thinking, and as always, he made a decision without consulting his children.

Cullen bowed his head slightly, "As you wish, father." ”

It must have been a futile search, Eric seemed to have evaporated from the world, no one knew where he went, no one had seen his presence, he was like a person who didn't exist in the first place.

The day after Eric's disappearance, people gathered in the office of the commissioner of the regional police station. The director saw some rich and famous people, and cold sweat came down, and the only thing he was thankful for was that this mistake was not in his hands. He looked at the Imperial Bank manager standing next to him and quietly poked his arm with his elbow, "You have to say something." ”

The manager nodded, this is also the reason why he asked the police chief to gather all the deceived people here, he must make it clear to these victims, that is, the bank was not actually cheated, because the equity of the East Coast Entertainment Company is in the hands of the bank, although it is a bit too overbearing to say so, but the manager of the Imperial Central Bank can not afford to lose 550,000 yuan, so someone else must carry this account.

He knocked on the table, and there was silence in the small conference room, which had previously been used for interrogation, so it was not very large, and it was a little crowded. He produced a document that had been rubbed and delivered to each of the deceived people, and the rubbing's capacity was simple, with the signature of the head of the bank's mortgage department, the seal of the Illian District Court, and Eric's signature.

In fact, strictly speaking, the contract signed by the parties themselves has the same legal benefits, but the bank's document has an additional court seal, which is naturally higher than others. He coughed lightly, "I have asked you to come today to explain one thing, under the proof of the court, the East Coast Entertainment Company has pledged all its equity to the Ilian branch of the Imperial Central Bank, which has the signatures of both of us, as well as the seal of the court, and has a legal priority over all of you here. ”

"Mr. Eric, one of the parties involved, has absconded from the crime, and under the terms of the mortgage agreement, Mr. Eric has relinquished the right to redeem the equity of East Coast Entertainment, which will be owned by the Ilian branch of the Imperial Central Bank as of today......"

Before the manager could finish his words, he saw someone clutch the agreement in his hand and throw it over, he tilted his body and easily dodged it, but it was also a little embarrassed. They weren't the last to sign an agreement, but they weren't the first to sign either, so naturally some people weren't happy. Obviously, we spend money in front of you, why do people run away from the company and become your thing, there is no such reason in the world!

In the face of such a non-threatening attack, the bank manager had clearly expected it. Some of them have invested most or even all of their savings, and now they are told that they have lost their money, how can they be willing?

"I'm sorry, after our inspection of the Ilian branch of the General Chamber of Commerce, although you handed over the money to Eric and confirmed your investment behavior on paper, the file of the Chamber of Commerce branch does not register any shareholder except Eric and his long-disappeared partner, which means that the agreement you signed does not actually have any legal effect, because this is an agreement that has not completed all the processes, and according to the relevant provisions of imperial law, they are actually nullified!"

"If you have any grievances or other situations, you can consult a lawyer, or even go to court to file a lawsuit against Eric. In addition, I would like to interject a digression, after a short and effective period of work, in the archives of the Chamber of Commerce, the registered power holder of the East Coast Entertainment Company has been changed to the Imperial Bank, and no longer accepts the registration of other power holders......"

People were dumbfounded for a moment, to be honest, some people didn't know that the change of the shareholder had to go to the Chamber of Commerce branch to register, while the other part of the people thought that this kind of thing should be done by Eric, not them.

After a brief silence, the entire small conference room was in chaos, everyone was expressing their thoughts, and they couldn't hear anything clearly. After arguing for about two or three minutes, the police chief slapped the table hard, and the small conference room quieted down, he straightened his police hat and said in a deep voice: "I understand everyone's anger at this time, and I can understand you, the problem is that the matter has happened, and we have also filed a case for this and notified the police departments and courts in most states, once there is news of Eric, I will notify everyone as soon as possible, and try to recover losses for everyone as much as possible." ”

"Now, I hope you can calm down and wait for our good news. ”

At this time, an old man suddenly stood up and said with a sad face: "I don't want to know any bullshit good news, I just want to know when my money will be able to get my money back......", he was suddenly stunned, people thought that the old man was not suddenly ill, and the old man suddenly asked: "If we redeem the shares of East Coast Entertainment, can we do it?"

The manager was also stunned for a moment, he hesitated, and finally nodded. It's a tricky thing, and East Coast Entertainment was a good investment, but with the strong presence of the George family, the bank's in-house financial experts are no longer optimistic about East Coast Entertainment, which has built most of its theaters in Districts 4 and 5. In layman's terms, poor people don't necessarily have the habit of consuming movies, and perhaps the profits of a dozen movie theaters are not as good as those in the first and second districts.

In the past, this problem was not obvious, but the powerful George family directly built theaters in the first three districts, and there was no sign of building theaters in the fourth and fifth districts. Under such a scramble, East Coast Entertainment is very likely to change from a "profitable state" to a "loss-making state". The reason why the manager wanted to take over the company was not to plan to continue the business, but to completely dismember the company, and then build some houses on the land, and in this way to recoup the capital and even make a profit.

It takes time, and at the same time, it also requires deeper investment, and now the East Coast Entertainment Company is a quagmire, and it is difficult to say whether it can get out of it. Hearing the old man ask, the manager only hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

This may be lower than expected in terms of returns, but it is safe and stable!
