Chapter 121: David's Advice
Of course, lawyer David knew what Zhou Yu meant, and even after the other party said that Herbert had introduced him, he had already guessed the other party's plan.
Although this person is ostensibly under the guise of making plastic straws, he actually wants to meddle in the business of selling moonshine.
Lawyer David paused, as if organizing language, and said after a while: "Let's sign this contract first, after signing and pressing the fingerprint, you are my boss, for my boss, the better his business, the more I can prove myself as a lawyer, and prove that I will not lose to those academics." ”
Zhou Yu was very satisfied with the other party's attitude, and immediately took out a contract that had been drawn up a long time ago, and the two parties signed their names, pressed their handprints, and the contract was established.
With this ten-year long contract, David Pine said with a smile on his face: "You are my boss from now on, I don't know what else you have about drinks?" ”
Zhou Yu already had a relevant plan draft in his heart, and immediately said: "I only know one channel for entering the wine now, and I am going to find an opportunity to contact the other party in the next few days, and once it is confirmed, I will immediately buy a large number of them." ”
David nodded lightly and said, "So boss, what are your plans after you get the drink?" Or what are the sales channels? ”
Zhou Yu looked at the other party and said with a smile: "This is why I found you, I heard Madir say that you have a good relationship with many businessmen in Canada, and now is the period of Prohibition, and the relevant drinks are in great demand, as long as there is a supply, they will definitely be sold." ”
"Boss, you're right, in addition to the federally controlled sellers in New York, the main sales channels are speakeasies, private clubs, and casinos.
I think if you want to sell your drinks in the most straightforward way, you need a speakeasy of your own, and I happen to know of a great place to be a bar, which once belonged to a friend of mine, who was a Canadian businessman.
He had failed in business and wanted to return to his hometown, and the property was in a great location and secluded enough that if the boss wanted to ask him out, I could close the deal quickly. ”
"Oh? So I'm just in time? ”
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at each other with his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "That Canadian businessman doesn't seem to be doing a business that can see the light, otherwise how could the place he chose be hidden enough?" Shouldn't it be in the most populous neighborhood? ”
The David lawyer seemed to have a lot of ideas, and had been keeping an eye on the relevant news, and if he had enough money and people in his hands, he would probably have to take it down himself.
Zhou Yu thought about it for a moment, his fingers tapped regularly on the table, and after a while, he looked up and said:
"Okay, when will you show me the place, if it's the right deal, we really need a bar of our own."
"Great, my friend is in a hurry to sell, there is no problem with the price, I will contact him in a moment."
"The price is secondary, as long as the conditions are right I can even accept the premium, the most important thing is fast"
"Good boss, then ......"
David Pine stood up and grabbed his coat and pointed apologetically out the door.
Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, and said in his heart: "This is the friend who is going to find him now?" He's really a doer who just says it. ”
"My car is parked downstairs, so let's go check it out now."
Zhou Yu knows that doing business is the same as fighting a war, what he pays attention to is a time difference and information difference, and he has an incomparable advantage over people in this era, knowing when to do something to get the greatest return.
In the early days of Prohibition, many liquor merchants and gang members wailed and even ushered in a wave of bankruptcies, but those with vision and courage saw business opportunities and made a lot of money.
Zhou Yu and David hit it off, and immediately got out of the latter's office, ready to drive to the Canadian businessman who had a house for sale.
The two walked to the first floor, and Zhou Yu saw the flower seller with no focus on her eyes again, only to see the latter squatting next to the flowers, stroking the flowers one by one with his hands, and accurately putting the same variety of flowers together.
Zhou Yu was slightly surprised, and before he could ask, he saw David Pine walk up to the girl.
"Wendy, let me introduce you, this is my new boss, Mr. Bruce Chow."
After David finished introducing Zhou Yu, he turned his head and smiled apologetically: "Boss, this is my daughter Wendy, Wendy Pine, who is born different from ordinary people...... Although she can't see with her eyes, she has a keen sense of smell and can accurately distinguish the types of flowers among the flowers, and even distinguish which ones are healthy and which are sick. ”
Zhou Yu looked at the woman curiously, and the woman also faced Zhou Yu under the guidance of David, and lowered her body slightly:
"Hello, Mr. Bruce Chow, thank you so much for hiring my father, you will surely be proud of your choice."
Zhou Yu replied with a smile: "Mr. David Pine is the most actionable and professional lawyer I have ever met, I believe him is like believing in my own choice, beautiful lady, can I borrow him from you for a while?" ”
Wendy, the blind girl, opened her mouth slightly, slightly stunned, she didn't expect the boss who hired her father to have such a sense of humor, so she immediately covered her lips with her hands, and said shallowly: "Of course, sir." ”
"Hehehe~" Zhou Yu smiled and pointed to the car on the side of the road, and he himself got into the driver's seat without hesitation.
David Pine was slightly stunned, he thought that Hong Ah Ghost would be the driver, but he didn't expect the boss to drive it himself.
Zhou Yu saw his doubts, and explained with a smile: "No way, my driver went out on a long trip, I can only drive by myself during this time, these are all small things, you will show the way, in which direction?" ”
Under the guidance of David Pine, Zhou Yu drove around a few bends in Central Manhattan and finally stopped at a quieter street on the banks of the Hudson River embankment.
"Just above, on the third floor, downstairs is a Chinese-owned laundry room, which makes annoying noises all year round, which can be very good at masking other sounds on the upper floors without being noticed.
The second floor is said to be the warehouse of a comprador of a chamber of commerce, but no one has been here for a long time, and it is not known what exactly is stored. The third floor is the venue I would like to recommend to you. ”
Zhou Yu got out of the car and walked around the three-story building, and found that its location was not prosperous, but it was definitely not remote, with its own parking lot against the Hudson River.
Also, as David just said, the noise from the laundry room on the first floor can be well hidden, and the rest of the upstairs, as long as it's not too noisy, is definitely a great location to open a speakeasy.
The three entered through the door of the laundry room, where the owner was an elderly Chinese man with somewhat thinning hair and drooping cheek muscles.
His English doesn't seem to be very good, and he speaks the dialect of a certain place in Chaoshan, which even Zhou Yu sounds quite laborious, but this David Pine can communicate with the other party very skillfully and signal what he wants to do.
"Boss, the entrance is inside this laundry, which makes it another notch more secure."
Zhou Yu asked curiously, "Can you understand the dialect of our country?" ”
David was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Oh no, I don't understand, I've just been here before, you can use some gestures to communicate with him, boss, please." ”
