America's Road to Wealth

".It's hard."

Ikana glanced at the open space below and responded to him: "First of all, what I said before, the issue of property rights.

If there hadn't been this problem, it might have been built by now. "

“Secondly, it’s too small.

Building apartments and houses costs disproportionately to the benefits.

Building commercial buildings is even more difficult. "

“It’s the only way out.

Probably waiting for some rich man to take a fancy to it, buy it and build a townhouse here. "

What she said is actually not unreasonable.

Because the open space below is indeed too small.

About ten thousand square feet, which is less than or just over one thousand square meters.

Such a small amount of land is used to build apartments or buildings.

The apartments and buildings that are built should not be very high, otherwise they will look ugly.

It will probably look like a bamboo pole.

In addition, because the area itself is small.

The apartments and buildings that have been built only have about 700-800 square meters per floor at most.

From the perspective of a traditional New York real estate developer, such a piece of land can be said to be truly worthless.

The key is that its location is so good, just one street away from Central Park.

The location is much better than Abel's townhouse in Chelsea.

Ikana is more professional.

As soon as you hear it, you will know that someone has understood it or is very familiar with the real estate industry.

Reminiscent of the industry her family operates is real estate, and the industry her father has been engaged in most over the years is also real estate.

In parallel space and time,

She later became the vice president of her father's company.

If you think about it this way, it is more reasonable.

Abel smiled and said: "What you said makes sense.

But I think its location is great.

Isn't Mr. Lerner interested in this position? "

interest?

Of course there is interest.

D. Ted Lerner once told Ikana, "If we buy this place and build a villa, it can be our home in the future."

but.

D. Ted Lerner has no money.

It has only been a few years since he last went bankrupt.

In the intervening years, the economic situation became slightly more affluent.

Since entering the 21st century, Lenape Group's cash flow has become tight again.

Because several bank loans from a few years ago have come due for repayment one after another.

The capital chain is stretched very tight and may break at any time.

It’s not easy to secure the capital chain. How can I find the money to buy land and build a luxury house?

But of course she couldn't tell Abel about this kind of thing.

She could only smile and said: "I was interested, but the evaluation was not up to standard. So I didn't take action in the end."

Abel smiled and shrugged, "Okay. I'm quite interested, maybe if I buy it.

We can cooperate with Lenape Group later.

I heard that the construction company under the Lenape Group is pretty good. "

Ikana heard what he said and immediately responded: "There is no problem with this.

Lenape Group is happy to cooperate with any worthy customers. "

The matter was revealed, and the two chatted for a while.

After the steak was served, they talked about Ikana's own company, her own clothing brand "Miss Ikana".

This clothing brand

appeared three years ago.

She was only 16 years old at that time, but she was already the most famous rich girl in New York.

It is said that at that time, she took out one million US dollars that she had saved from work-study, business, stock trading, etc. since she was a child.

The brand "Miss Ikana" was created and developed rapidly.

This year, its valuation was rated at US$1.1 billion.

These are many media outlets in New York and even many other media outlets in the United States.

I enjoy talking about it and really like the content of the report.

"I heard that "YKM" encountered some troubles in its second round of financing? Is this true?"

YKM is the abbreviation of "Miss Ikana", which is generally used in media reports.

As a party to this kind of thing.

Most people are embarrassed when they hear others mention it.

But Ikana didn't look embarrassed at all, she admitted frankly:

“There is such a thing.

Investors do not agree with the valuation. They want to use less money to get more shares. "

"Haha~" Abel said with a smile: "These investors are all like this.

They want to make money and spend as little as possible. I'm annoyed with them too. "

"Who can say it's not the case?" Ikana smiled bitterly, and her bitter smile looked very nice.

Elegant, sexy and beautiful, she said: "So this matter will be put on hold for now."

"But in this case, won't there be financial problems in the subsequent development of YKM?"

"In the early stages of this kind of start-up, funding is very important for a new brand like YKM, right?"

Ikana nodded, then shook her head.

"It is very important. But the good thing is that my father is willing to provide me with financing.

He will support me. "Ikana said.

Abel chuckled to himself again.

When I met her for the first time, I didn't know what was true or false.

If she said this, Abel might still be coaxed.

but now.

He has already learned about Ikana, his father, and the details of her clothing brand through David and other channels.

When Ikana said these words now, he just wanted to laugh.

But it doesn't reveal that he is greedy for other people's bodies.

"Yeah." Abel smiled and nodded, and he said confidently:

"Mr. Lerner is very powerful. As long as he is willing to support you.

With your father's help, YKM's troubles will only be temporary.

I believe this. "

"Forehead"

Ikana had words stuck in her throat and couldn't speak.

She looked at Abel who looked serious, as if he really thought so.

She couldn't help but mutter in her heart:

After what I just said, as the BOSS of a financial company, you.

Shouldn't I ask if I need funds?

That way it will be easier for me to take your words.

But, how could you say this! !

In fact, YKM's current situation is not very good.

The second round of financing failed, and the money burned in the early stage was almost gone.

Competitors are adjusting their direction and preparing to attack YKM.

It cannot be said that YKM is in danger, but there is also a crisis.

The point is, her father really has no money now.

If there is still money, why would YKM’s second round of financing be so troublesome?

Ikana discovered that she had a very effective and useful method in the past.

It seems to have failed on the person in front of me.

She could only force a smile and said: "Yes. I think so too."

"That"

Abel raised the red wine glass in his hand and said, "Miss Ikana, a toast to your bright future with YKM."

Ikana reluctantly raised her cup, her appearance and posture were impeccable, "To YKM, to the future."

This topic was lightly discussed again.

The two chatted for a while.

In the end, Abel proposed to leave first and said he wanted to go back to the company.

Ikana wanted to sit there for a while longer, but she didn't insist.

The second date between the two ended here.
