When I returned to Los Angeles, the whole city was in chaos.

Especially in the Florence and Normandy neighborhoods in the south-central part, there are destroyed shops, burned houses, and cars everywhere. There are few pedestrians on the streets, and everyone has a bit of uneasiness on their faces.

From April 29 to May 2, large-scale riots occurred in Los Angeles. The trigger was the beating of a black man by four white police officers in March.

After the video was broadcast by the television station, it aroused strong dissatisfaction among the black community, but the four police officers were later acquitted.

On the day that four white police officers were released, a group of black people rioted in a neighborhood in south-central Los Angeles, vandalizing, looting, throwing petrol bombs and setting fires. Some people fished in troubled waters during the riots.

In four days, more than 600 arson attacks occurred in Los Angeles.

The situation got worse and worse, and the California government had no choice but to send 2,000 National Guard troops into the city to suppress it, arresting more than 10,000 people before the riots slowly subsided.

This incident resulted in the death of more than 50 people, injuries to more than 2,000 people, and property losses of more than 2 billion US dollars.

More than ten days have passed since the incident, and the media began to summarize the matter. The main reasons are the long-term employment problems, racial discrimination, racial friction, etc. in the central and southern regions.

These reasons have led to great resentment among various groups, just like a frying pan that explodes when it encounters the slightest spark. This is a long-term and inevitable thing.

After the riots, this resentment seemed to be released, and the originally depressing city seemed to slowly become more relaxed.

"Haha, boss, you are back."

When we arrived at the bar, the ugly Javier stood at the door and shouted hello. He also quietly kicked the new guy next to him, who quickly followed suit and said hello.

"Javier, how's the bar going lately? Has anyone come to cause damage?"

Duca asked as he got out of the car.

"Haha, don't worry, boss, as long as I, Javier, am here, no one will dare to come to the bar to cause damage."

Javier said, patting his chest.

"Okay, good job!"

Duca smiled and walked into the bar.

The riots mainly occurred in the south-central and rugged areas with a higher proportion of black people, and central urban areas such as Santa Monica Boulevard were not affected.

The bar is still open for business, but many people are worried about their personal safety, so business is a little worse than before. It should be back to normal after a while.

"Duka, how about the new yacht?"

Andrew asked while lying on the bar.

“It’s not bad. It’s cooler than traveling by airplane and bicycle.”

"Tsk~, you guys are really prosperous now. You have everything including sports cars, cruise ships, and big villas. If I had known I should have followed your example and invested my money, turning millions into hundreds of millions. Then I could buy it too.

It’s a yacht.”

Andrew said a little enviously.

"Don't worry, you are still young, make money, and you can buy it when you have money in the future."

Duca smiled.

"Don't talk about the future, Duca, how about we buy a few more bars. I heard that house prices in the Central South District have plummeted, and many bars and dance halls are being resold. Why don't we take advantage of the opportunity to buy at the bottom?"

Andrew said with his fists clenched.

"Forget it, if you want to do it, just make it a big bar. I'm not interested in a small bar."

"Well, I almost forgot that you are a rich man and you don't care about small money."

Andrew joked.

Duka chuckled and glanced at him, "Don't talk about me. You used to spend money like water. You couldn't spend millions in a month. When did you suddenly care about these small sums of money?"

"Of course it's because of your influence. I didn't care about money in the past. I spent as much as I had on hand. If I didn't have money, I wouldn't spend it.

Since I met you, I have become a miser, thinking about making money all day long, and giving up enjoying life for money, just like my grandfather, alas, I finally ended up living the life I hated most."

Andrew said with deep emotion.

Duka chuckled and was too lazy to answer him.

"Duka, the renovation over at Kapok is almost finished, when will we open?"

"We'll wait until the decoration is finished, don't be in a hurry."

The Kapok Club is their new bar, and it is the largest and most famous bar on Sunset Boulevard.

In February, boss Mickey Cohen was arrested by the police and the bar was auctioned. Duca and Andrew spent 8.5 million to take over the bar.

The bar's original name was Kapok, and it was not changed after the photo was taken.

The bar has three floors and covers a large area. However, the original decoration style of the bar was a bit dark, so the two spent more than 1 million to redecorate it.

The casino on the first floor below is reserved, with a bar and dance hall on the first floor, and the second floor is decorated as a luxury club, mainly serving senior members.

Duca's goal is to build the Kapok Club into the most popular and profitable bar in Los Angeles.

There are currently six shareholders of the bar. He, Andrew, Jasmine, Winona, Julia Roberts, and Nicolas Cage. He and Andrew invested the most, occupying 45% and 30% of the bar shares respectively. The others invested at least 500,000.

This is the bottom line for investing in shares.

"Duka, if I don't buy those small bars, what will I do if I have more than three million left? If I keep them in my hands, I will spend them randomly sooner or later."

Andrew asked.

This year he got 5.7 million in pocket money, plus the 2 million that Duca paid back, there are 7.7 million US dollars. He spent 3 million to buy a bar, and spent more than 1 million, leaving more than 3 million for him.

A little headache.

Duka looked at him in surprise, "You used to spend all the money you had, but now you have money left?"

"Yes, I don't know why, but I suddenly can't play anymore. When I saw those food, drink, and fun projects, it didn't feel interesting. Duka, do you think I'm sick?"

Andrew asked.

"I don't know, but someone once told me that if you can't play anymore, get married and live in a different way. Do you want to try it?"

"Marriage? This word is so far away, I have never thought about it."

Andrew frowned and said.

"You are twenty-four, you can think about it."

After a while, Jasmine came to the bar, Duca called Andrew, and the three of them held a working meeting in the office. The main topic was the issue of the new bar management.

After the Kapok Club is renovated, everyone will move to the bar over there, where there are more people and more liveliness. So we need to discuss how to manage the Kapok Club and who will be the general manager of the club.

In the end, the three people discussed and decided that Jasmine would serve as the general manager of Kapok Club first, and other managers and other management personnel would be recruited separately.

After everyone left, the Jasmine Music Bar was handed over to Fat Tom. The guy managed the bar very well and could serve as the manager and pay him monthly dividends.

The manager of Jasmine Bar can be hired from among the old employees, and Marco Michael Cardoso, Julia and others are suitable candidates.

"Boss, this is a bit inconvenient. How about we set up an entertainment company to mainly manage two bars and card games? When there are more bars, management will be more convenient."

Jasmine suggested.

Duca thought for a while and decided that this was a good idea. Otherwise, when he had more bars, he would have to consider candidates for managers. It would be too much and too troublesome.

Establishing a company's remote control bar is suitable for the hands-off shopkeeper's business approach.

"Andrew, what do you think?"

"I have no objection. It's best to get it started as soon as possible. Let's buy more bars. When there are more bars, how about turning it into a chain of bars?"

Andrew asked, rubbing his chin.

"There is no rush about the bar chain. Let's build Jasmine Bar and Kapok Bar first, and then consider the next step after making money." Duka waved his hand and looked at Jasmine again.

"I'll leave the formalities to you, and I'll let Gloria cooperate with your work."

"Okay boss, leave it to me."

Jasmine smiled.

After two years of experience, Jasmine is now considered a real white-bones spirit, and is better than him and Andrew in managing companies and interpersonal relationships.

Processing the company's affairs was not complicated, and it took her and Gloria less than four days to get the approval materials.

The company's full name is Leo Culture and Entertainment Company, and its office is located at the Kapok Club.

He personally owns 65% of the shares in the two bars and card business, Andrew owns 27%, and Jasmine owns 8%.

Duca also put the yacht Monica under the name of the entertainment company and handed it over to the company for custody. It would not be converted into shares, and the company could rent it at a discount.

After the company is established, he will be the big boss, Andrew will be the second boss, and Jasmine will still be the general manager. Professional talents will be recruited for other positions.

The incident at the bar came to an end, and Duca brought his gun to the Los Angeles Shooting Club to practice shooting for the upcoming Barcelona Olympics.

At present, he is considered a celebrity in North America, but he became famous by relying on the traffic reported by the media, which means he is a bit like an Internet celebrity.

If he can win a few Olympic gold medals at the Olympics, he will almost be considered a sports star, which will also help his whitewashing career.
