There is a big gap between others begging you to buy and you begging others to buy.

If it weren't for Arthur George and the people behind him who were in a hurry to separate from the Lord's house, they might not have been so eager to buy Juan's resources. They can wait a little longer, it doesn't take long, after a month or two, the price will be hundreds of thousands less, and they may not be able to earn hundreds of thousands in a month or two, and it is not a problem to wait a little longer. The reason why Arthur's side agreed to Juan's request so quickly was indeed as Durin said, they were in a race against time.

Actually, they can't wait!

No one knows if the old man, who doesn't care much anymore, is still awake or is already old and confused. In case he discovers their "little tricks", maybe their dedication and hard work over this period of time will become a meal for the old man. You must know that no matter the resources they use, or the funds they take out, they are strictly John's property, and what they buy with his property is of course John's property.

They just played a trick by registering a company and then the money went out of Old John's account, but the ownership of things was transferred to this new company. Doing so may have violated some legal issues, but if there is no report, who has the heart to take the initiative to interfere in the furniture scandal of a wealthy family? Isn't this a good life for oneself, and there is nothing to do?

It's just that these people don't know very well, John, who is already very old, has some "kindness", he is not confused, he just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to completely cut off these malignant tumors from his body, he hopes that their plan can succeed more than those brothers and sisters!

In this way, one was in a hurry to sell, the other was in a hurry to buy, and the two sides hit it off, and immediately someone rushed to Ilian with authorization documents and other documents.

When Juan saw the lawyer he had met, he was in a trance for a moment, he put away his self-pity and sat calmly on the edge of the table, the pen in his hand trembling slightly, indicating that his heart was not as calm as he appeared at this moment.

No one can remain calm at this moment, as long as the tip of his pen falls on it and signs his name, then from this moment on, his decades of hard work will come to naught, and he will return to the moment when he just started his business. He is already old, I don't know if there are decades left for him to start over, everything will say goodbye to him on this day, this is not a new beginning, but an end!

He can not put pen to paper, stubbornly thinking that he has not lost, but he understands that he has lost after all. Just like what Durin said when he came to visit him that day and wanted to buy these theaters from him, in fact, he could only blame himself in the first place, if not for his own greed and wanting to take his business from Durin...... If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to swallow the big cake painted on the ground, if he hadn't had so much selfishness, maybe he wouldn't have fallen to this point!

Yes, he was still too greedy, and he only hated himself for being blinded by greed, and he also hated himself for not seeing Durin clearly.

Under the lawyer's hidden urging gaze, Juan closed his eyes and signed his name on the transfer document, and from this moment on, all his efforts, decades of accumulation, and the promising future were all down the water.

His eyes were a little moist, his cloudy and yellowed eyes were slightly red, he took the cashier's check from the lawyer's hand, endured the heartache and bitterness, and squeezed out a smile, "You are satisfied this time, right? With just such a small amount of money, you can buy millions of things." ”

The lawyer carefully checked Juan's signature, then properly packed the document in a document bag and put it in the briefcase. He shrugged his shoulders, "It's business, Mr. Juan, if we're satisfied, you must be satisfied, otherwise why would you sell it?", he breathed a sigh of relief, being able to complete the task perfectly is victory, "Presumably you're not in the mood to say goodbye to me either, so goodbye, Mr. Juan, I'll go first!"

Looking at the empty room, Juan wanted to vent, but in the end he slumped in his chair, he had nothing!

The cashier's check of the George family was converted from the bank and transferred to Juan's account without any problems, and the money was not enough to get his estate back from the bank, but fortunately he had his own plan. He didn't want anything like a villa, a house, a car, or even a bar, he just wanted his brewery, as long as he had wine in his hand, he had a chance to turn over.

In the past, he was reluctant to sell his drinks elsewhere, firstly, because transportation increased the cost and risk, and secondly, the investment and risk of developing foreign markets were greater, but he did not make much money. It is impossible for him to have his own retail outlets in every city in the empire, which dooms him to go through wholesale.

The wholesale business is not so easy to do, for example, the most common problem of payment pressure, he doesn't have so much energy to stare at the money he wants from place to place, he is old and has no energy. He would rather do retail locally than wholesale, which is full of uncertainties, although it seems that there is not as much money as wholesale, but it is better than stability.

In the past few years, Juan has been able to make at least 500,000 to 600,000 profits from his own bar and local sales every year, which is enough for him.

But this time, after he got back his workshop, he not only had to sell it locally, but also open up foreign markets, smuggling, and fighting, which was no longer a problem for this old guy who had "nothing" to stop him from moving forward.

Without asking Dourin to ask James to do anything, Juan offered to tell James that he couldn't pay off the bank's loan and that the bank could put the items into the auction process.

Of course, he wouldn't do that if he had money, but the problem is that he doesn't have money.

Less than ten days after meeting with Durin, the Ilian branch of the Imperial Central Bank sent an invitation to the wealthy people in Ilian City, inviting them to auction the due collateral.

There aren't many auctions like this, sometimes they don't happen once a year, and there aren't many opportunities to invite local billionaires like this. In many cases, the value of the collateral is not enough for the bank to invite the rich to come and participate, and they can't afford to lose that person.

Of course, Dührin was also one of the invited guests at this auction.

This time, he changed into a white formal suit and a black shirt, which made him look a little younger and more sharp than those dark clothes. He didn't wear a hat, and his hair was meticulously pulled back under the double "care" of wax and oil, so Durin seemed to have something different from before.

The door to the auction hall was slowly pushed open by Dover, and Durin walked in with his head held high, and the conversation of some people suddenly stopped. If there was anyone who didn't know Doolin, it was that he lived in the mountains, or had just arrived in Ilian. In just one year, Durin used his financial resources to conquer these rich people, and of course, there were some private gossip. Whether it is those who can be used or those who can't be put on the table, he is a limelight figure for a while!

Rich people kept raising their glasses to Doolin, and Doolin nodded in response, and he was like ...... No, he was just a high-class man, and he walked to the front of the auction with a bold and oppressive pace. Someone tried to say a few words to Durin, but he avoided them for the time being with very polite remarks, more like seeing Juan than that.

At this time, Juan was talking to Alexander and other rich people, and he wore a black dress today, a white shirt, a bow tie, and a red handkerchief in the breast pocket of his jacket. If it weren't for the haggard on his face, perhaps he wouldn't have changed from before. He was talking to the rich men in the hope that they would be considerate of him and not raise the price when the auction was held at the brewery.

His request was not excessive, after all, these people and he had been old friends for more than ten years or even decades, and there was no old grudge, and Juan just wanted to get his property back. For them, the purpose of participating in this auction is not necessarily to get something out of the auction, but rather to take the opportunity to get together, chat, and talk.

Just as people were talking about something, they suddenly closed their mouths, and Juan frowned, and slowly turned sideways to look back. The original smile on his face suddenly shone like an ice ridge in the cold winter.

"Why, I'm not welcome?", Durin smiled happily, and he offered to hold out his hand, "Welcome back, Juan." ”

Juan glanced at his outstretched hand and turned back with a blank expression, as if he hadn't seen Durin. Durin wasn't annoyed by this, he shrugged his shoulders and greeted the others. The men quickly dispersed after responding to Doolin, and it was inevitable that they would get into trouble if they continued to stay here. Obviously, the conflict between Durin and Juan has long been white-hot, and staying here at this time can only offend one of them, or two people together.

There was no one around, Juan found a place to sit nearby, he didn't plan to say a word to Durin, sometimes people's wishes are good, the only drawback is that they can't be fulfilled. He didn't want to talk to Doolin, but Doolin wanted to talk to him.

"You know, when you rejected me, I decided to get rid of you. Sometimes people often point to us rich people and say that money is not omnipotent, but today, I want to tell you with facts that money is everything!"

"Do you want me to raise my hand a little and let you go?"

"Come, beg me!"
