There is a big gap between what others ask you to buy and what you ask others to buy.
If Arthur George and the people behind him were not in a hurry to separate and cut out of his master''s house, they might not be in such a hurry to buy Juan''s resources. They can wait. It won''t take long. In a month or two, the price will be hundreds of thousands less. They may not be able to earn hundreds of thousands in a month or two. It''s not a problem to wait more. The reason why Arthur agreed to Juan''s request so happily is that, as Turin said, they are racing against time.
In fact, they can''t wait!
No one knows whether the old man who doesn''t care much is still alert or confused. If he finds out their "little trick", perhaps their investment and efforts over this period of time will become a Chinese meal for the old man. You should know that both the resources they use and the funds they take out are strictly John''s property. Of course, what they buy with his property is also John''s property.
They just played a trick. First they registered a company, and then the money went from old John''s account, but the ownership of the things was transferred to the new company. This may have violated some legal issues, but if there is no report, who has the intention to actively intervene in the furniture scandals of wealthy families? It''s not leisure. I''m living a good life. Do I have nothing to do?
It''s just that these people don''t know. John, who is very old, has bred some "kindness". He is not confused. He just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to completely cut off these malignant tumors from his body. He hopes that their plan will be successful than those brothers and sisters!
In this way, one is eager to sell and the other is eager to buy. The two sides hit it off immediately. Someone immediately came to Yilian with authorization documents and other documents.
When Juan saw the lawyer he had met, he was in a trance for a moment. He put away his mind of self pity, calmly sat at the table, and the pen in his hand trembled slightly, indicating that his heart was not as calm as he showed at the moment.
No one can remain calm at this moment. As long as the tip of his pen falls on it and signs his name, his decades of efforts will come to naught from this moment, and he will return to the moment when he just started his business. He is old. I don''t know if there are decades for him to start over. Everything will say goodbye to him on this day. This is not a start, but an end!
He can not write, stubbornly think that he has not lost, but he knows that he has lost after all. As Dooling said when he came to see him that day and hoped to buy these cinemas from him, in fact, he could only blame himself at the beginning. If he wasn''t greedy and wanted to take his business from Dooling... If he didn''t want to swallow the big cake painted on the ground alone, if he didn''t have so much selfishness, maybe he wouldn''t fall into this step!
Yes, he was too greedy and came to such an end. He only hated that he was blinded by greed and that he didn''t see Dolin clearly.
In the lawyer''s insidious eyes, Juan closed his eyes and signed his name on the transfer instrument. From this moment on, all his efforts, decades of accumulation, and the expected future turned into flowing water.
His eyes were a little wet, and his muddy and yellowish eyes were slightly red. He took the bank promissory note from the lawyer''s hand, endured heartache and bitterness, and squeezed out a smile. "Are you satisfied this time? With only such a little money, you bought millions of things."
After carefully checking Juan''s signature, the lawyer properly packed the document in a document bag and put it in the briefcase. He shrugged his shoulders. "This is business, Mr. Juan. If we are satisfied, you must be satisfied, otherwise why do you want to sell it?", he breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to complete the task perfectly is victory. "You must not be in the mood to say goodbye to me, so goodbye, Mr. Juan. I''ll go first!"
Looking at the empty room, Juan wanted to vent, but finally he collapsed in his chair. He had nothing!
George family''s Bank promissory notes have no problem. He exchanged more than one million from the bank and transferred them to Juan''s account. It''s not enough to take back his estate from the bank. Fortunately, he has his own plan. He doesn''t want villas, houses, cars or even bars. As long as he has wine in his hand, he has a chance to turn over.
In the past, he was reluctant to sell his liquor to other places. Firstly, transportation increased costs and risks. Secondly, the investment and risk of developing foreign markets were greater, but he didn''t earn much. He could not have his own retail outlets in every city of the Empire, which meant that he had to go wholesale.
Wholesale business is not so easy to do. For example, the most common problem of money pressure is that he doesn''t have so much energy to stare at and urge him for payment one by one. He is old and has no energy. Compared with wholesale, which is full of too many uncertain factors, he is willing to do retail locally, although it seems that he doesn''t have much money from wholesale, which can win in stability.
In recent years, Juan has made at least 500000 to 600000 profits from his bar and local sales every year, which is enough for him.
But this time, after he took back his workshop, he not only had to sell locally, but also had to open foreign markets for smuggling and fighting. For this old man who had "nothing", it was no longer a problem that prevented him from moving forward.
There was no need for Dooling to ask James to do anything. Juan took the initiative to tell James that he could not pay off the bank''s loan and the bank could enter the auction process.
Of course, if he had money, he wouldn''t do that, but the problem is that he doesn''t have money.
Less than ten days after meeting with Du Lin, Yilian branch of imperial central bank sent an invitation letter to the rich in Yilian City, inviting them to add the auction of expired collateral.
There are not many such auctions. Sometimes they can''t be held once a year, and there are few opportunities to invite local rich people so widely. Most of the time, the value of those collateral is not enough for the bank to invite the rich to attend, and can''t afford to lose that person.
Of course, Du Lin is also one of the invited guests of the auction.
This time he changed into a white suit and a black shirt, which made him look younger and more energetic than those dark clothes. He didn''t wear a hat, and his hair was meticulously followed back under the double "care" of hair wax and hair oil. This kind of Turin seemed to have something different from the past.
The door of the auction venue was slowly pushed open by dufo. Du Lin walked in with her head high and her chest. Some people''s conversation suddenly stopped. If anyone else doesn''t know Turin, he must have lived in the mountains or just come to illian. In just one year, Du Lin conquered these rich people with his own financial resources. Of course, there are some private gossip. No matter who can take it, or those who can''t take it to the table, he is a unique figure in the limelight!
The rich people kept raising their glasses to Dooling, and Dooling nodded back. He was like... No, he was an upper class figure, walking to the front of the auction with a pace full of boldness and oppression. When someone wanted to talk to Du Lin, he temporarily avoided it with very polite words. Compared with these, he was more like meeting Juan.
At this time, Juan was talking to Alexander and other rich people. Today he was wearing a black dress, a white shirt and a bow tie. He also inserted a red handkerchief in the chest pocket of his coat. If it weren''t for the haggard look on his face, he might not have changed from the past. He is communicating with these rich people, hoping that they can understand themselves and don''t raise prices during the auction in the brewing workshop.
His request is not too much. After all, these people and he are old friends for more than ten years or even decades, and there is no old hatred. Moreover, Juan just wants to get back his industry. For them, the purpose of participating in the auction is not necessarily to get something at the auction. Rather, they take the opportunity to get together and talk.
When people were talking about something, they suddenly closed their mouths, Juan frowned, slowly turned sideways and looked back. The original smile on his face was like the ice edge in the cold winter.
"Why? Don''t you welcome me?", Du Lin smiled happily and offered his hand, "welcome back, Juan."
Juan glanced sideways at his outstretched hand and turned back expressionless as if he didn''t see Turin. Turin was not annoyed. He shrugged his shoulders and said hello to the others. These people quickly dispersed after responding to Dooling. It''s inevitable to get into trouble if they continue to stay here. Obviously, the contradiction between Du Lin and Juan has already become white hot. Staying here at this time can only offend one of them, or both.
When there was no one around, Juan found a place nearby to sit down. He didn''t intend to say another word with Du Lin. sometimes people''s wishes are good, and the only disadvantage is that they can''t be realized. He didn''t want to talk to Turin, but Turin wanted to talk to him.
"You know what? When you refused me, I decided to throw you out. Sometimes people often point at us rich people and say that money is not everything, but today, I want to tell you the truth that money is everything!"
"Do you want me to raise my hand a little and let you go?"
"Come, please!"
