The next night, Du Lin appeared at the appointed restaurant on time. The restaurant was not a famous restaurant, but it was better in elegant style and quiet environment. Although the place is not big and can only hold less than ten tables, it is always full and needs to queue up. But this time, they didn''t need to line up and couldn''t see anyone else in the restaurant. He wrapped up a three hour period in the evening.
It''s not that Doolin is stingy and unwilling to cover the whole night, but that the owner of the restaurant disagrees. He moves some individual guests'' appointments to after 8:30. For the previous three hours, Doolin''s has to pay a charter fee of 1000 yuan per hour.
Durin was thinking about something when Garfield''s laughter suddenly sounded outside the door. He immediately put away his scattered thoughts and stood up to meet him.
After Luke was arrested, Garfield vaguely realized that maybe this was done by Turin, because Turin behaved abnormally during the peace talks with Luke at his home that day. He simply took out part of the meat in his mouth and gave it to Luke. At first, Garfield thought that maybe Dooling was a little afraid of Luke, including Luke himself. It was not until Luke was arrested that he found that all this was a trap, and Luke jumped down on his own initiative.
Now that he could realize this, Garfield made up his mind to try not to offend the guy Turin when it was not necessary. It would never be a happy thing if he was cheated or hated by him one day. It happened that he had the ability to complete the thing that Du Lin asked him this time. While helping Du Lin, it was also equivalent to finding a business for his friends. Why not do it?
As for whether they can negotiate or not, they will not record him in the account book in their mind in the end. If they negotiate, it is human kindness.
He can still do a business like this.
"This is Mr. Thomas!" Garfield introduced the middle-aged man in civilian clothes on his left. He has blond hair, very tall and straight posture, and his shoulders are a little higher than ordinary people. Although he was laughing, he could not hide the unique smell of soldiers under the impetuous surface. Garfield introduced Dooling to Mr. Thomas again. "This is the famous Mr. 350000 of illian. He has helped me a lot."
Garfield had already taken the land in his hand, but he never thought of building anything good. Illian''s coastline is like a north-south crescent, embracing part of the sea water. The land in his hand, that is, the manor where Dooling now lives, is on the tip of the crescent in the north. His original idea was to build a dense business cluster, but Yilian planned that this place was a little far from the real business core area.
If the construction of landscape can really make money, the investment will never be small, and the time to return the capital and make profits will be longer. Finally, he thought about it and decided to build a luxurious manor. The overall cost was about 180000 to 200000, plus the land was sold for 360000 at one go. It has been sold for half a year and has not been sold. First, the local rich have more than one villa and there are manors outside the city. There is no need to spend 350000 to buy another manor.
Secondly, we are quite familiar with this price. It was definitely not agreed. It was delayed for a while until Turin appeared and took the cash, which made Garfield relieved.
Durin shook hands with Mr. Thomas and said two scene words, which led them to sit on the best table in the restaurant - a platform extending from the main body of the building, with 10 cm thick glass as the ground. The whole person was like sitting in the air!
Below are the cliffs and the sea. Sometimes the waves are rough, and some waves beat on the low-end glass, which makes people always feel frightened. But once you get used to it, you have a different taste.
"I asked Mr. Garfield to invite you this time because I wanted to have an interview with you. Please forgive me. I have a lot of things to transport and a lot of places to go. I don''t know if you have enough transportation capacity and enough ships." Turin took out three metal cylinders and sent one to the two. He kindly prompted: "The top collected hyphae from yawangdu, province, have a try?"
The provincial Ya king was the political core of the provincial Ya Dynasty in the past. After the collapse of the Yaoxing Empire, the Empire flattened all the buildings here that were related to the royal family of the provincial Ya empire. The prosperous cities immediately became ruins, and the provincial Ya royal family were beheaded here. I don''t know if it was because of the wonderful blood of these royal families. Mycelium soon appeared in the ruins, and now there It has become the pillar of the local economy. A collection is organized every April to collect these wild hyphae and make them into a paradise for sale.
Such a top paradise costs 120 yuan, which is the top product!
Garfield smiled, took a cut and tasted, nodded his head with a smile, and was inexplicably happy. After a while, his eyes recovered, "it''s really a good thing. It''s expensive."
Compared with Garfield''s casual, Thomas''s action seemed to be methodical. He also tasted it. The muscles on his cheeks shook, and the tense facial muscles gradually relaxed a lot, showing some smiles.
He blinked and put one hand under the table. Durin guessed whether he had twisted his thigh muscles. "Let''s say..." his words paused, as if he was considering how to speak. "I have about seven 10000 ton cargo ships and five cargo ships modified by military ships. I''m the most near here..." , he suddenly realized something, but if he didn''t continue to say it here, it was obviously insincere. He could only continue to say: "the largest marine contractor". He quietly put Letu into the metal cylinder and smothered it. He said something he shouldn''t say.
Du Lin is very keen to capture this. According to the latest military law, after the warship is retired, all weapons must be dissolved after they are removed. This involves some secrets on the warship, such as how many standard weapons can be carried, how much ammunition can be stored, how many soldiers can be accommodated, how much speed is full load, and what is the maximum speed per hour without load. These seemingly insignificant data will become fatal information once a war breaks out. But he said he had a ship refitted from a warship. There is no doubt that he must be from the military.
Naval business is not news in a certain circle. Garfield also told Dooling that Dooling not only did not worry about it, but put down all his worries.
Although the work style of soldiers is a little too straightforward and unreasonable, they are the best partners as long as they are not greedy.
"Mr. Thomas, you are a very cheerful person. I think I have understood your strength. Now let''s talk about my requirements. I want to transport at least 500000 bottles of wine to each wharf of the Empire every month. In the future, this number will increase. It''s easy to say in terms of price. As long as I can ensure the safety of these things, I can make appropriate concessions."
Thomas opened his eyes. He almost blurted out, "smuggling wine?"
Du Lin shook his head with a serious and honest expression, "No, no, no, Mr. Thomas, I''m a legitimate and protected businessman. How can I violate the laws of the Empire? I have a wine license and a wine selling license in illian, but my customers buy more each time, so they need me to provide some transportation services. As for whether their behavior is illegal, it has nothing to do with me !”
Thomas chuckled. Dooling''s sophistry made him feel interesting and confident in the deal. Just as Dooling thought, he began to consider the benefits. A fair and aboveboard smuggler smuggled private wine for him with the help of the potential power of the Navy. He got the safety of the goods on the sea, and the Navy could get a long-term success Source of income.
This is almost something that doesn''t need to be thought about. As long as Dooling can take out what he said, the Navy will definitely be able to send it to each wharf area according to his requirements. Once this transportation network is formed, no matter how the terminal changes, it will not affect their cooperation, let alone destroy this cooperation.
Because both sides are "legal businessmen", Du Lin himself does not leave yili''an, and the drinks and funds are delivered in yili''an, which is legal.
The goods are on the Navy''s ship. No matter whether the goods are clean or not, as long as they float on the sea, the Navy says it''s legal, it''s legal!
As for the others, it has nothing to do with them.
This is definitely a big business. If a bottle of wine costs 50 cents for transportation, it will earn at least 250000 yuan a month, which is almost the same as that in the first half of last year. Mr. Thomas breathes a little faster at the thought of this. Once this intention is reached, his position in the Navy will be more solid, so that he has the opportunity to touch the person We call it the position behind the "insurmountable red line" - major general!
After the patriotic war, both the Empire and the Federation realized that the war would not break out in the short term if there was no major military breakthrough. After a civil war, both sides had understood each other''s reality, and then rashly launching a war would be meaningless except for wasting people and money. In the peaceful era that does not know how long it will last in the future, I think It is basically impossible to be promoted from Colonel to major general.
Not to mention that Mr. Thomas has no powerful help behind him. He can become a colonel because the Navy thinks that the rank of colonel can make those businessmen feel satisfied and secure. Otherwise, he is just a lieutenant colonel.
His face was filled with a sincere smile. "I think we can talk in detail."
