"Mr. Dolin, I''m very presumptuous to ask, did you buy a boat for transportation?" the guy talking is Hollis. He had a meeting with Dolin. Hollis built the house where Dolin now lives. This guy is a standard real estate developer. It is said that he won two major projects alone in the project in the eighth District, and his financial resources are impressive.


    When he asked, he also wanted to know whether Dooling had any way to make money. What Dooling said at the lunch party had begun to spread widely among the upper social groups in Yilian. Many people thought that Dooling''s assessment of the future was very correct. When the Empire''s economy began to recover, the first one to be adversely affected was the real industry. When people begin to have surplus money in their hands, the first thing they have to do is buy something for the family, ranging from a dress to an electrical appliance, or even buy another house. Therefore, in the next decade, the real industry will have a period of vigorous development.


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


    Doolin looked down at the cards in his hand and threw them back into the discard area. He lost this game and paid 500 chips for it.


    Du Lin leaned back in his chair, held the wine glass and nodded. "As I said at noon, the real industry will have a good period of sustainable development in the next ten years. At this stage, a large number of goods need to be circulated. The Empire now has only two circulation channels, steam locomotive and sea transportation." he sipped the wine, Watching Alexander stack the chips in the public area on the table and put them in front of and behind his face, he continued: "the steam locomotive is supervised and controlled by the Empire. If we don''t lay the railway ourselves, we must abide by the relevant laws and regulations, and the more things we transport, the higher the cost."


    When the Dutch official shuffled the cards, everyone''s attention focused on Turin. He put down his glass and tilted his legs, "But shipping is different. I''ve never heard that shipping has strict regulations. As long as we don''t transport contraband, they won''t care how we run. Plus, the cost of Shanghai transportation is significantly lower than that of land transportation, so I''m going to apply for a transportation company to specialize in maritime transportation."


    "What about automobile transportation?", Hollis talked about a new truck that has more advantages than the truck in the traditional concept. It is larger and has excellent cargo and transportation capacity. The transportation capacity of this new truck is five to ten times that of those old trucks in the past.


    Durin pursed his lips, took a look at the card given to him by the dealer, and lost a fifty dollar chip, "Truck land transportation is the future trend, but not now. Trucks have the advantages of trucks. Compared with inland areas lacking water transportation resources, trucks can go anywhere, but you should understand that economic recovery does not mean a major outbreak. It is a continuous process. In this process, there may be only two or three cities in each state that first clearly reflect economic recovery , it is difficult to see profits in the short term by using trucks for circulation. "


    Hollis nodded again and again. Now most of the richest places in each state in the Empire are the capital of each state, and it''s not good to go down. At that time, it will undoubtedly save a lot of expenses to send these goods by sea to the nearest port to leave them for unloading, and then send them to the place by steam locomotive.


    "Are you willing to accept investment if you intend to do so?" Hollis directly threw the card into the discard area and stared at Dooling.


    Doolin frowned, swept out 500 chips and threw them into the public area. He smiled and said, "why not?"


    The afternoon card game lasted until more than 10 p.m. a group of rich people changed into civilian clothes and ran to the bar for a while before they went home. Turin got up a little late in the morning, and the formation of the plan to find Garfield was also delayed. As Turin expected, playing cards is not the key, the key is the exchange of information, and everyone didn''t because of it A new member of this small circle, Du Lin, kept silent. They shared some information they got, hoping to find business opportunities.


    The temperature in Yilian has begun to drop in autumn. Only a few days later, the number of tourists on the wharf has decreased significantly.


    I don''t know if the dialogue between Dooling and Nasha caused any problems. The delegation that originally planned to visit illian in the middle of the month to discuss cooperation postponed the date for two weeks, that is, they may not be able to come to illian until the end of the month to discuss how to cooperate and how to distribute power. This relieved Juan. He has talked to the next state The biggest farmer couple asked them to put all the money in their pockets.


    In this way, he had more 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 ignored the construction of area 8 until Scott came to the door.


    The eighth district is the top priority in the next urban development and construction of yili''an 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 any mistakes in the construction of the eighth district.


    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. According to his estimation of Turin''s financial resources, Turin should have no funds to continue to build his project in the eighth District, but now Turin''s construction site has started. Where did he get the funds? Then he had a new guess Maybe Dooling introduced Luke''s $6 million fund because he was unwilling to give up his project in the eighth District, so there was a shortage of funds.


    For this, Juan sneered and shook his head. It was a young man who wanted everything, but he didn''t understand that he might get nothing in the end. Perhaps letting him fall is the most powerful love for his growth.


    "Mr. Juan, the tender agreement for the eighth district you signed with the city hall clearly stipulates that if you can''t start the construction of your project within three months of the commencement date, you will permanently lose your power. Do you understand me?" Scott took out the rubbing copy of the agreement and put it on the table.


    In order to ensure that the construction of the eighth district will not be delayed, 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 project, build it by themselves or hand it over to others. This was an act of protection for the construction of the eighth District, and everyone agreed at that time, otherwise it would be impossible to sign the agreement.


    Juan just glanced at his signed name and 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. The shopping mall project in area 8 may not have enough money to carry out the follow-up construction work temporarily, so..." he showed a very regretful expression, "I can only say I''m sorry. I quit."


    Scott raised his eyebrows. Many people have a guess about Juan''s recent economic situation. He and Turin keep throwing money into new industries like a comparison, which makes people feel frightened. Before they see the return money and there is no predictable return, they dare to throw their wealth up. I don''t know whether to say Juan is crazy or stupid. This is so Kurt didn''t persuade anything. In the final analysis, the bidding project in District 8 is also a game of throwing money. When you don''t have money, you don''t need to take the initiative to explain that you can''t play anymore, and the organizer will send you away.


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


    Juan also smiled and nodded. "Indeed, once the eighth district is established, it will shock the whole empire and become the most eye-catching new urban area. I know this very well, but I can''t help it either." when he said this, he seemed to think of something, "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 he is willing to continue to increase his investment in the eighth district?"


    By this time, Juan had not forgotten to test the depth of Turin. Turin had always wanted the shopping mall project in Juan''s hand, and even offered to build it together. At that time, Juan agreed to the request of Turin''s partnership, but none of this had formed an effective written document. If Turin could eat what Juan threw out at this time The project shows that Dooling still has money in his hand, and it is a huge fund, which has nothing to do with Luke''s six million.


    If he can''t swallow... Of course, it''s the best result, which means he doesn''t have much money to toss about.


    In fact, Juan himself knows that he can''t lose the project. As long as he talks about cooperation at the end of the month and slows down for a period of time, he can definitely get funds to start the project again. For example, he asks a bank to lend again, and the pledge is his own equity. But he doesn''t do so. For Juan, no business is more profitable than monopoly, and he doesn''t Energy and time distract from doing other things.


    Scott sighed. 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 area 8. In the future, this project has no direct or indirect relationship with you."


    Juan signed his name on the abandonment without even considering it. In the face of monopolizing the industry, he can''t see this kind of small business!
