Durin met Henry on the weekend, Henry looked a little embarrassed, his hair had always been meticulous and lost his spirit on his head, he sat directly on the sofa as soon as he entered the room, his hands and knees as support, and grabbed his hair fiercely, "Hell, you don't even know how I've been treated during this time, why don't you inform me, it's my manor, my manor! I should always have some right to know, shouldn't I?"

Durin had a glass of milk made for Henry, who didn't seem to be fit for coffee, and that drinking milk was good for mental development. Although I don't know if this statement is true, in short, milk is definitely better than coffee. He sat down beside Henry with his coffee and said soothingly, "You should be as strong as an adult, if I tell you who the people who are coming, will you let me borrow your house?", Henry hesitated for a moment, and Durin added, "Don't lie!"

In the end, Henry shook his head, "If I knew, I wouldn't have lent it to you." My God, who are the people you have invited, I never thought that you would actually know these people!"

Durin smiled and pressed his hand on Henry's shoulder, and said in a serious and relieved voice: "Look, if you are not willing to lend me the manor, do you think I will be a little angry in my heart? Because we are good friends, but you refused me a very simple request, does this make me think that you are a stingy person?", Henry thought for a moment and nodded.

We were all good friends, and we organized a country club, and the amount of money exchanged was calculated in millions of dollars. The manor in the west is actually not worth much, a hundred thousand can buy a piece of land and build a beautiful manor, which is why he is willing to lend the manor to Dulin. Even if Durin broke some equipment, even if he demolished a few rooms, the loss would not be much, a few thousand or twenty or thirty thousand yuan would be enough. But he didn't expect that Durin didn't destroy his manor, but instead invited a group of deadly guests.

He suddenly felt that there was something strange about Durin's question, but he didn't find anything strange, but there was a strange feeling lingering in his heart.

Without waiting for him to think about it, Durin continued, "I may be angry at your stinginess, and you may feel a little guilty for refusing my simple request, and will not want to contact me because of it. After a long time, we have no contact with each other, so are we still friends? If you want me to say, no, we are not friends. Henry, I don't think it's right to ruin our friendship for the sake of a manor house and the guests I've invited, you say, and it didn't actually cause you any real harm, no one beat you, no one took anything from you, did it?"

"Like...... That's right!", Henry's mind was a little confused, he touched his conscience, if he really refused Doolin's request, he must have felt that there would be an awkward atmosphere when he faced Doolin again, that was the thing he hated the most, in order to avoid embarrassment, maybe trying not to meet was the best solution. If this continues, they may not really be friends.

To Henry, Durin was a very important friend, a very capable friend. He's been in business in the West for almost a decade, and he hasn't changed much in ten years. On the contrary, it was his elder brother who roamed the shopping malls in the empire and expanded the family business a lot. He would also feel anxious in the middle of the night, feeling the helpless sigh of his opponent's strength. However, it took less than five months for Du Lin to arrive, and the shadow of the Western Mining Association entrenched in the sky over the west completely disappeared.

This is a very capable young man, even if Henry is reluctant to admit it, he has to admit that Durin is a little better than him. It's always a blessing to have such a powerful friend, and if you become an enemy, it's really enough.

It doesn't seem like a good deal to get into trouble with Durin for the sake of losing face and irritability these days, and like Durin said, it's just a small thing.

Although he was pressed to a chair and interrogated all day, despite his father smashing a thick book on his head, despite his brother's best to laugh at his stupidity, despite his wife's persuasion to stay away from Durin.

However, Henry still felt that Durin was a good friend, at least he could do what he couldn't do, and it was the family's policy to make friends with capable people, just like his brother who always befriended all kinds of people in society.

Henry breathed a sigh of relief and patted his cheek, the slight poking of the stubble on his hand made him a little frightened, he actually went out without shaving, this is simply a bastard uneducated behavior. Of course, it didn't matter now, he needed to tell Durin what he really thought, "I figured it out, I want to apologize for my recklessness, it's really just a small thing, and we shouldn't let such a small thing hurt our friendship." ”

Durin swept his shoulder with satisfaction and handed him a cigarette, "Look, make it clear, make it clear, and there won't be any misunderstanding." I know why you're having a seizure, it's my fault, I should have made things clearer. If you feel that this is going to be an ongoing nuisance for you, you can sell the estate to me and buy a new one next to it or nearby. That way those things that bother you will disappear. ”

"No, you're humiliating me!", Henry suddenly became angry, raising his eyebrows, "We are friends, best friends. I haven't made any really good friends since I left the family, you are my first best friend, you have helped me a lot, but I have nothing to repay you...... In this way, the manor has been given to you, please don't refuse!"

In fact, Henry was right, Durin helped him a lot, and in view of the problem of those "refugees", some mine owners felt that the rules of the West had changed, and at the same time, the cost of mining would increase exponentially without slavery. The most intuitive expense is the salary of the miners. In the past, there were four or five hundred slaves, even if five hundred were good, five hundred slaves did not need to pay anything other than to feed them.

But now, after the loss of slavery, even those slaves who have become immigrants need to be guaranteed a minimum wage, as well as all other benefits. A miner's salary ranges from 60 to 80 yuan a month, and they need to be equipped with safety equipment, and they must be fed and fed well, and each person needs to invest at least 100 yuan per month in the mine!

500 people is the cost of 50,000 yuan, and the monthly income of many mining areas is between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan, plus the expenses of the mine protection team and the depreciation of various equipment, etc., they may only earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, and may even face losses. Instead of spending your life and money here, it is better to sell the mine for a good amount of cash, invest in some industries in the south, and maybe even happen to be on the fast track.

At the level of mine owners, they have enough capital to attract certain companies or organizations, such as the Imperial Bank, and they have dedicated investment managers to incite and entice these large depositors to invest in other industries. And now that the industry is going uphill, it is common to see in the newspapers that a certain small workshop is being asked to claim compensation because it cannot complete the order, or that a certain businessman is desperately investing in the industry in exchange for huge returns.

Under the premise of social and economic recovery, the profits of the real industry will rise indefinitely. When people have money in their pockets, they will have the desire to consume, and in terms of the variety of goods in today's society, they are more willing to buy something tangible. For example, things in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation will never be eliminated. Now the brand garment factory, that is, the kind of assembly line garment factory is very popular, the transformation of the tailor shop in Otis City has led to the transformation of the entire industry, and more and more popular brands have hit the market with standardized models of clothes.

Those who have just had a little money don't mind spending a little money on a branded piece of clothing, even though it may not fit perfectly. After all, it doesn't cost much, and if you want to wear clothes that fit, you can go to a tailor shop, and a set of dozens of dollars is quite suitable.

In such an environment, Henry has already embarked on the acquisition of several large iron mines, which has earned him high praise from his father and compliments on his performance.

And all of this was brought by Durin, and he was grateful to Durin, from the bottom of his heart.

Durin groaned for a moment, nodded and agreed to Henry's request, "Yes, I won't refuse." You go and choose a manor nearby, and I'll give you ...... in return", seeing that Henry wanted to refuse, Durin reached out and pressed his shoulder, blocking his words back, "Like you said, we are friends, good friends, and this is what I should do." If you take this friendship seriously, accept my gift in return. ”

This time he was invited to the Bureau of Investigation for coffee and returned home, where his father scolded him for nothing and told him to distance himself from people like Doolin, not to tear his face, but not to have close ties either. He also told Henry that Durin was doing this to pull the entire family into the water, and that Durin could not be allowed to do this. The reason why a steel tycoon is a steel tycoon is because of his independence and a clear position. If they make the wrong step, they will most likely face an endless number of challengers and end up in mediocrity.

Good man, I misunderstood him, if I have the opportunity to introduce Durin to my father, they will definitely be able to talk!

Henry nodded movingly, "I think I know what to do......"
