"Mr. Doolin, I take the liberty of asking, did you buy a ship for the transportation industry?", the guy who spoke was called Hollis, and he had a relationship with Doolin, and the house where Doolin now lives was built by Hollis. This guy is a standard real estate developer, and it is said that he has won two major projects in the 8th district project alone, and his financial resources are eye-catching.

He asked this question, also to know if Durin had any way to make money, and what Durin said at the luncheon had begun to circulate widely among the upper social groups of Illian, and many people thought that During's assessment of the future was very correct. When the empire's economy began to recover, the first thing to be affected was the real industry. When people start to have extra money in their hands, the first thing they have to do is buy a little bit of something for their family, from a small piece of clothing to an electrical appliance or even to buy another house. Therefore, in the next ten years, the real industry will have a period of vigorous development.

Being able to be recognized by many people naturally shows that Durin is still capable, so he suddenly offered to buy a ship, which immediately attracted the attention of Hollis.

Durin looked down at the cards in his hand and casually threw them into the discard fold fold, and he lost the game, for which he paid five hundred chips.

Durin leaned back in his chair and nodded with his wine glass, "As I said at noon, there will be a good period of continuous development of the real industry in the next ten years, in which a large number of goods need to be circulated, and the empire now has only two channels of circulation, steam locomotives and sea transportation. He took a sip of his wine and watched Alexander fold the chips in the common area on the table and place them in front of him before he continued: "Steam locomotives are under the supervision and control of the Empire, and if we don't lay the railroad ourselves, we must follow the relevant laws and regulations, and the more things we transport, the higher the cost. ”

When the dealer shuffled the cards, everyone's attention was focused on Durin, he put down the wine glass, and crossed his legs, "But shipping is different, I've never heard of strict rules on shipping, as long as we don't transport contraband, they don't care how we run." In addition, the cost of sea freight is significantly lower than that of land transportation, so I plan to apply for a transportation company that specializes in sea transportation. ”

"And what about car transport?", Holliss said of a new truck that has a recent advantage over the traditional concept of trucks, is larger, and has excellent cargo and transport capacity, and this new truck can transport five to ten times more than the old trucks of the past.

Durin pursed his lips, took the card given to him by the dealer and looked at it, and threw a fifty-dollar chip up, "Truck land transportation is the trend of the future, but not the present." Trucks have the benefits of trucks, and they can go anywhere compared to inland areas where there are no water resources, but you have to understand that economic recovery does not mean a big explosion, it is an ongoing process. In this process, the first cities to clearly show economic recovery may only be two or three in each state, and it is difficult to see profits in the short term by trucks. ”

This sentence made Hollis nod again and again, now most of the richest places in each state in the empire are the capitals of each state, and it is not good to go down. When the time comes, these goods will be unloaded by sea to the nearest port where they are departed, and then delivered to the place by steam locomotive, which will undoubtedly save a lot of money.

"Would you be willing to accept the investment if you were going to do that?" said Hollis, flipping his cards into the fold fold and staring at Dorin.

Durin frowned, swept out the five hundred chips and threw them into the common area, and said with a smile, "Why not?"

The game lasted until about ten o'clock in the evening, and a group of rich people changed into civilian clothes and ran to the bar for a while before they went home, and Durin got up a little late in the morning, and the formation of the original plan to find Garfield was delayed. As Durin expected, playing cards is not the key, the key is the exchange of information, everyone did not keep silent because there was a new Dulin who joined the small circle, they each shared some of the news they got, hoping to find business opportunities.

Autumn temperatures in Ilian have already begun to drop, and just a few days apart, there is a noticeable drop in the number of visitors on the pier.

I don't know if there was something wrong with the conversation between Doolin and Nasha, but the delegation that was scheduled to visit Ilian in the middle of the month to discuss cooperation has postponed the date by two weeks, which means that they may not be able to come to Ilian until the end of the month to discuss how to cooperate and how to distribute power. This relieved Juan, who had already moved the largest farmer couple in the next state to put all the money in their pockets.

In this way, he had more money to expand his "bargaining chips" as soon as possible, and to prepare for the negotiations at the end of the month, so that he ignored the issue of starting construction in District 8 until Scott came to his door.

The 8th arrondissement is the top priority in the next step of urban development and construction in the Ilian region, and it can be said that the city hall has bet on its own achievements in the next four years, and they will not allow any mistakes in the construction of the 8th arrondissement.

When Juan met Scott, he realized that he had fallen behind, and after inquiring about the progress of the Eighth District, he was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that in his estimation of Durin's financial resources, Dulin should have no funds to continue the construction of his project in the Eighth District, but now that Durin's construction site has started, where did he get the funds? Then he had a new guess, maybe Durin's six million funds were introduced by Luke, because he was unwilling to give up his project in the Eighth District, so there was a shortage of funds.

Juan sneered at this and shook his head, after all, he was a young man who wanted everything, but he didn't understand that in the end he might not get anything. Perhaps letting him fall is the most powerful care for his growth.

"Mr. Juan, the 8th District Tender Agreement you signed with City Hall clearly stipulates that if you don't start construction of your project within three months of the start of construction, you will permanently lose your power, do you understand what I said?"

In order to ensure that there is no delay in construction in the 8th arrondissement, the city hall has signed an agreement with all bidders that if they fail to build within the time limit, the city hall will take back their projects and build them themselves or hand them over to someone else to build. This was an act of protection for the construction of the eighth district, and everyone agreed to it at that time, otherwise it would not have been possible to sign the agreement.

Juan just glanced at his signed name and pushed the document away, "I'm sorry Mr. Scott, the working capital in my hand has been used for the infrastructure of the new company, and the shopping mall project in the eighth district may not have enough money to carry out the follow-up construction work for the time being, so ......", he showed a very regretful expression, "I can only say sorry, I quit." ”

Scott raised his eyebrows, Juan's recent economic situation Many people have a guess, he and Durin are like comparisons and continue to throw money into new industries, which makes people feel frightened, and they dare to smash their net worth before they see the money back and there is no predictable return, I don't know whether to say that Juan is crazy, or whether to say that he is stupid. Scott didn't persuade him to say anything, after all, the bidding project in District 8 is also a money-throwing game, and when you don't have money, you don't need to take the initiative to say that you can't play anymore, and the organizers will send you away.

"Okay...... , to say a word from the heart, Mr. Juan, it is really a pity to give up such an opportunity. ”

Juan also smiled and nodded, "Indeed, once the Eighth District is established, it will definitely shock the entire empire and become the most eye-catching new district, I know this very well, but I also have no choice. "By the way, Durin is very interested in the project of the 8th arrondissement. He's already invested in a few projects of his own, and he's just as interested in this one I have, so maybe you can ask him if he'd like to continue to invest more in District 8?"

By this time, Juan had not forgotten to test the depth of Doolin, who had always wanted the project of the mall in Juan's hand before, and even took the initiative to put forward the idea of building it together. Juan agreed to Doolin's request for the partnership, but none of this resulted in a valid written document. If Durin can eat the project thrown out by Juan at this time, it means that Durin still has money in his hand, and it is a very large amount of money, which has nothing to do with Luke's six million.

If he can't swallow it...... The best outcome, of course, means that he doesn't have much money left to toss.

In fact, Juan himself knows very well that he can not lose this project at all, as long as he waits for the end of the month to negotiate the cooperation issue, he will definitely be able to get the funds to start the project again after a period of time, for example, find a bank to take out another loan, and pledge the equity in his own hands. But he didn't, and for Juan there was no business more profitable than a monopoly right now, and he didn't have the energy or time to be distracted by anything else.

Scott sighed, he took out another document and put it on the table, "Mr. Juan, you need to sign this document to prove that you voluntarily gave up the shopping mall project in the eighth arrondissement, and this project will not have anything to do with you directly or indirectly in the future." ”

Juan signed his name on the waiver without even thinking about it, and in the face of monopolizing the industry, he couldn't look down on this kind of small business!
