Cosma Empire

"Mr. Dooling, I would like to ask you a question, did you buy the ship for the transportation industry?" The guy who spoke was called Hollis, and he had a relationship with Doolin once. Lis built. This guy is a standard real estate agent. It is said that in the Eighth District project, he won two large projects by himself, and his financial resources are eye-catching.

He asked this question because he also wanted to know if Dulin had any way to make money. What Dulin said at the lunch meeting has begun to be widely circulated among Irian's upper-class social groups. Many people think that Dulin's assessment of the future is very correct. When the empire's economy began to recover, the first thing to be radiated with favorable effects was the real industry. When people start to have surplus money in their hands, the first thing they need to do is to buy something for their family, ranging from a piece of clothing to an electrical appliance, or even buying another house. Therefore, in the next ten years, the physical industry will have a period of vigorous development.

Being recognized by many people naturally shows that Du Lin is still capable, so he suddenly proposed to buy a ship, which immediately attracted Hollis' attention.

Du Lin looked down at the cards in his hand, and casually threw the cards back into the discard area. He lost this round, and he paid 500 yuan in chips for this.

Du Lin leaned back in his chair, nodded while holding his wine glass, "As I said at noon, the physical industry will have a good and sustainable development period in the next ten years, during which a large number of commodities need to be circulated. , the empire now has only two circulation channels, steam locomotive and sea transport." He took a sip of his wine, watched Alexander stack up the chips in the public area on the table and put them in front of him, and then continued: "Steam locomotive Regulated and regulated by the empire, if we do not lay the railroad ourselves, we must obey the relevant laws and regulations, and the more things are transported, the higher the cost."

When the croupier shuffled the cards, everyone's attention was focused on Du Lin. He put down his wine glass and raised his legs, "But shipping is different. I've never heard of strict regulations on shipping. As long as you don't transport For contraband, they don’t care how we go. In addition, the cost of sea transportation is significantly lower than that of land transportation, so I plan to apply for a transportation company that specializes in sea transportation business.”

"What about car transportation?" Hollis talked about a new truck that appeared recently, which has more advantages than the truck in the traditional concept, with a larger body and excellent cargo and transportation capabilities. Trucks have five to ten times the capacity of older trucks of the past.

Du Lin pursed his lips, took a look at the cards issued to him by the croupier, and threw a 50 yuan chip on it, "Truck land transportation is the future trend, but not the current one. Trucks have the benefits of trucks. , Compared with the inland, which lacks water transportation resources, trucks can go anywhere, but you have to understand that economic recovery does not mean a big outbreak, this is a continuous process. In this process, the first cities to clearly show economic recovery There may only be two or three in each state, and it is difficult to see profits in the short term with 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.

It doesn't matter if you go down below. At that time, these goods will be transported by sea to the nearest port for unloading, and then sent to the place by steam locomotive, which will undoubtedly save a lot of expenses.

"If you plan to do this, are you willing to accept investment?" Hollis directly threw the cards back into the discard pile, staring at Du Lin brightly.

Du Lin frowned, swept out five hundred chips and threw them into the public area, then smiled and said, "Why not?"

The game of cards in the afternoon lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening. A group of rich men changed into casual clothes and went to the bar for a while before going home. Du Lin got up a little late in the morning, and the formation that had planned to find Garfield delayed. Just as Du Lin expected, playing cards is actually not the key, the key is the exchange of information. Everyone didn't keep silent just because there was a new Du Lin who joined the small circle. They each shared what they got. Some news, hoping to find business opportunities.

Autumn temperatures in Illian have already begun to drop, and only a few days apart, there is a noticeable drop in the number of tourists on the pier.

I don’t know if something went wrong due to the dialogue between Durin and Nasha. The delegation that originally planned to visit Illian to discuss cooperation matters in the middle of the month postponed the date by two weeks, which means that they may have to wait until the end of the month. Only then can I come to Ilian to discuss how to cooperate and how to distribute power. This relieved Juan, who had persuaded the largest farmer couple in the next state to invest all the money in their pockets.

In this way, he will have more sufficient money to expand his "chips" as soon as possible, and make sufficient preparations for the negotiations at the end of the month, so that he has ignored the issue of starting construction in the eighth district until Scott came to him Come.

The eighth district is the top priority in the next step of urban development and construction in the Irian area. It can be said that the city hall has bet its achievements in the next four years on the eighth district. They do not allow the construction of the eighth district to have any Any mistakes.

When Juan saw Scott, he realized that he had fallen behind. After asking about the progress of the eighth district, he was a little confused. Logically speaking, in his estimation of Durin's financial resources, Durin should have no The money went on to build his project in the Eighth Ward, but now that the Dooling site has started, where did he get the money from? Then he came up with a new guess, maybe Dulin introduced Luke's six million funds because he was unwilling to give up his project in the eighth district, so there was a shortage of funds.

Regarding this, Juan sneered and shook his head. After all, he is a young man who wants everything, but does not understand that he may not get anything in the end. Perhaps letting him fall is the most powerful love for his growth.

"Mr. Juan, the eighth district bidding agreement you signed with the city hall clearly stipulates that if you fail to start construction of your project within three months of the start period, you will permanently lose your power , Do you understand when I say that?" Scott took out the rubbings of the agreement at that time and put it on the table.

In order to ensure that there will be no slowdown in the construction of the eighth district, the city hall has signed an agreement with all bidders. Once 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 others to build. This is an act of protection for the construction of the eighth district, and everyone agreed to it at the time, otherwise it would be impossible to sign the agreement.

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

Scott raised his eyebrows. Many people have a guess about Juan's recent economic situation. He and Du Lin are constantly pouring funds into new industries like a comparison, which makes people feel terrified. They haven't seen the money back yet. Without any foreseeable return, he dared to throw all his wealth on it. He didn't know whether to call Juan crazy or stupid. Scott didn't say anything more about this. After all, the bidding project in District 8 is also a money-losing game. When you have no money, you don't need to take the initiative to explain that you can't continue to play, and the organizer will send you out .

"Well..., to tell you the truth, Mr. Juan, it's really a pity to give up such an opportunity."

Juan also nodded with a smile, "Indeed, once the eighth district is established, it will definitely shock the entire empire and become the most eye-catching new urban area. I know this very well, but I also have no way." When he said here, it seemed that What came to mind, "By the way, Du Lin is very interested in the projects in the eighth district. He has invested in several projects himself, and he is also interested in this one in my hand. Maybe you can ask him, maybe Is he willing to continue to increase investment in the Eighth District?"

At this time, Juan has not forgotten to test the depth of Du Lin. Before that, Du Lin had always wanted the project of the shopping mall in Juan's hands, and even proposed the idea of ​​building a joint venture. At that time, Juan agreed to Du Lin's partnership request, but all of this did not form an effective written document. If Du Lin can eat the project thrown by Juan at this time, it means that Du Lin still has money in his hand, and it is a huge sum of money, which has nothing to do with Luke's 6 million.

If he couldn't swallow it... Of course, it was the best result, which meant that he didn't have much money to spend.

In fact, Juan himself knows very well that he does not have to lose this project at all. As long as the cooperation issue is negotiated at the end of the month, and after a while, he will definitely be able to get funds to start this project again. For example, if he asks a bank for another loan, the pledge is his own equity. But he didn't do this. For Juan, no business is more profitable than a monopoly now, and he doesn't have the energy and time to be distracted by other things.

Scott sighed, and 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 district. The project also has no direct or indirect relationship with you."

Juan signed his name on the renunciation letter without even thinking about it. In the face of monopolizing the industry, he no longer likes this kind of small business!
