Chapter 56: I'm Sorry, Lucas

Is the stock finance market so easy to make money?

If you are the kind of person who has access to inside information and even special intelligence channels, it is very easy to make money from the stock market, even in the United States, where there are various systems.

But ordinary people want to make money in the stock market, but it's not so simple, small money is okay, big money basically don't think about it.

There is an old saying in China that "just watch the thief eat meat, but don't watch the thief be beaten", which refers to those who only see someone making money in the stock market, but ignore the fact that someone lost money and jumped off the building.

However, every time the stock market is hot, how many people can clearly see the crisis?

That Lucas was such a person.

At the same time, Anne is somewhat similar, but she has not yet acted.

But it is undeniable that Anne is really moved by the hot stock market.

It's just that compared to Lucas, Anne is not so interested in action, unlike Lucas who is bent on disposing of the family toy factory and going to the sea of stocks to 'show his skills'.

------ Dividing Line------

Beverly Hills shopping street in Los Angeles, an Italian café, open-air area, where Anne and the old butler meet Lucas.

This is an elegant-looking man in his fifties, who exudes the elegance of an Italian all over his body, and at first glance you will think that he has a strong lethal force for middle-aged and elderly women.

But those who know him must know that Lucas is a 'key', he doesn't like women, he likes men or boys, especially handsome boys.

As for the personal orientation, everyone here in the United States has always been open-minded, after all, Americans feel that 'this kind of person' is not harmful to society, so why should everyone treat it like a monster.

When Lucas arrived, Anne and the old butler Nord had already arrived at the place early, and had asked for two cups of coffee and some snacks, and were waiting for him here.

Of course, Anne would bring cocoa with her when she came out, and the little guy was eating Italian snacks at this time, and looking at her happy appearance, it can be seen that the little guy likes it very much.

"I'm sorry, I'm late. ”

Lucas, who came to the café, saw Anne and Old Nord sitting in the open air, and walked over quickly, and apologized to the two for being late.

"It's okay, we just arrived, just a little before you. ”

Anne smiled and said it didn't matter, and made a 'sit' gesture for Lucas to sit down.

Lucas reached out and shook Anne gently, and then shook hands with the old butler Nord.

After the three of them sat down, the old butler Nord spoke first: "Mr. Lucas, the main purpose of asking you out this time is to tell you that the toy factory buyer you entrusted our bank to find is now someone who has this intention." ”

Hearing this, Lucas suddenly showed a happy look on his face, and hurriedly asked: "Really! God, it's good news, I've heard bad news lately, it's really good." ”

Toy factories are losing money every day, even if they don't start working, the wages of those workers must be paid, otherwise the union will be looking for trouble, so Lucas, who has lost money to the point of pain, how can he not be excited about this news.

On the American side, businessmen like Lucas are most afraid of unions.

And the trade unions in the United States are so powerful that you can't imagine that they are completely different from the trade unions in China that have changed their taste.

Now the factory is losing money every day, which has made Lucas a little unsupportable.

Therefore, what he thinks about every day now is to dispose of the toy factory as soon as possible and dump this mess on others so that he can get out.

Unfortunately, the situation of the toy manufacturing industry and the toy sales industry is not stupid, and everyone is very clear.

So who will take over at this time.

Japanese toy manufacturers are not a joke, their toy products are of excellent quality, and through a variety of anime cartoons, they have a great influence and appeal among children, and toy manufacturers all over the world can't do them.

Unless, you are willing to become an OEM factory and make toys for the Japanese.

It's not that Lucas didn't think about doing this, but the salary of workers in the United States, combined with all kinds of privacy, is too high for the Japanese to accept.

Therefore, Lucas can't even do OEM, what else can he do but sell the factory, but the problem is that he can't sell it if he wants to, and he has to see if anyone is willing to buy it and take over.

If no one takes over, Lucas will have to file for bankruptcy.

But even if he files for bankruptcy and the union doesn't agree, Lucas will have more trouble here.

If nothing else, if the union drags on for two or three years and then bankrupts you, you will have to pay the workers in two or three years, which is a lot of money.

Therefore, Lucas basically prayed for the stars and the moon, and even prayed to the gods and Buddhas all over the world, and all kinds of gods and spirits showed their magical powers, so that such a fool could appear to save himself, and now finally this 'savior' has appeared.

So Lucas was almost not so excited that he cried in front of Anne and the old butler.

"Mr. Lucas, don't get so excited. What we need to know now is, what is the psychological price point on your side, and what price will you sell your toy manufacturing plant. After all, the other party also understands the current slump in the toy manufacturing industry, and if the quotation is too high, I am worried that the other party will ......"

On the way to meet Lucas, Anne revealed a little to the old butler, saying that Kim Hyun-tae meant this.

So, even if Lucas is an acquaintance, it is better to ask the old butler to lower the price if he can. After all, considering Kim Hyun-tae's existing funds, I am afraid that there is no way to buy Lucas's toy factory.

Originally, such a business negotiation did not require Anne to come forward in person, even if Lucas's father was very familiar with his deceased father, but it was enough to send the old housekeeper, and she didn't need to come in person.

But Anne felt that since it was Kim Hyun-tae's business, it was necessary for her to come forward to do it herself, and only in this way would it be the best.

I have to say that Anne has unconsciously put herself in the role of a wife, thinking that she is doing something for her husband.

Otherwise, why would she do it?

Because it doesn't make sense.

Of course, Anne didn't notice anything wrong with her own mentality for the time being.

She just thinks that Kim Hyun Tae's affairs can't be handed over to others, and it is the best and most appropriate to handle it herself.

Oh my!

I have to say that Anne's mentality is also quite funny.

You know, even if Kim Hyun-tae is really with her, they end up as a couple.

But you don't have to let her come forward in person.

There are so many elites under Wheatstone International Bank, and they can be handled by anyone who cares.

But it can also be seen from here that Anne is very concerned about Kim Hyun Tae or his own affairs, and at the same time cares about it.

We have to sigh here that Kim Hyun-tae, who has been affected and mutated by the space-time tunnel, is powerful even if it is his 'inner thing', and it is really amazing that he can influence a woman like Anne like this.

Because of the hint from the young lady's side, the old butler Nord of course knew what he should do, so the friendship and everything had to be put aside.

"Sixty million! The factory includes land, and the price is not high. And most importantly, my factory has no loans and all kinds of debts. ”

The price of 60 million is indeed not high, and Lucas is a conscience offer.

Even Anne, who was silent on the sidelines, recognized this.

She looked at the valuation list of Lucas's toy manufacturing factory, which listed in detail the value of the plant and machinery, as well as the value of the land, basically 60 million this offer, Lucas did not have a little moisture.

It's a pity that Anne has a way to accept this offer, because she has to consider the father of the child in her womb, that is, Kim Hyun Tae.

So, Lucas can only be wronged.

You know, although Kim Hyun-tae is also a rich man now, the bank has more than 2 million cash, and it is estimated that "A Song of Ice and Fire" can bring millions of income this month, and "The Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tales" can also bring a lot of income next month, but these together cannot have 60 million cash.

At the same time, after buying a factory, you can't dismiss the workers in the factory, and these people have to be paid every month if they don't work, which is also a big expense.

Then Anne felt that she had an 'obligation' to think about the father of the child in her womb, and to press down the price a little more.

The young lady didn't make a sound, and the old housekeeper Nord knew that he was not satisfied with the offer of 60 million.

Since his own young lady is not satisfied, then he has to put a little pressure on Lucas to make him more aware of some reality.

"Mr. Lucas, with all due respect, I'm afraid the other party won't buy it at such a price. ”

"Mr. Nord, my offer is a real price of conscience. If you don't believe me, you can ask a professional appraisal team to evaluate the full value of my factory, I don't have a little bit of water to participate in the quotation. ”

Hearing the old butler's words, Lucaston cried out.

The old housekeeper also knew that Lucas's offer was very realistic, but his own lady was not satisfied, so he could only continue to reduce the price.

As for Lucas...... Well, I'm sorry for you.

"Mr. Lucas, you have to understand that when my client buys your factory, maybe the factory will be demolished and rebuilt, and those machines will also be lost, in fact, except for the piece of land, basically the things in those factories are not very useful, so you need to remove these things, and then estimate them yourself. ”

After speaking, the old butler Nord pondered for a while, and after a while, he continued to mention a more critical question: "At the same time, my customer has to accept those workers in the factory, and the monthly salary is also a large amount of money, don't you consider these factors and give a reasonable offer?"

The old butler Nord was smart enough to say what to say about some of the problems with Lucas's offer, and he couldn't refute them.

"We don't want the factory, as long as the land can be received by the workers, it won't bring you any legal trouble after selling the factory, if so, I think the price of 30 million should be very suitable, what do you think?"

The old butler Nord had a black heart, and cut off half of Lucas's offer at once, making Lucas's eyes red.

30 million, dollars, that's a lot of money.

It's no wonder that Lucas has stared red, like a rabbit.

Oh, it looks like he was a rabbit in the first place.

"No! I can't accept the price of 30 million!"

Joke, how is 30 million possible, Lucas would not agree to such a price as long as his brain did not enter the water.

"You have to take the workers, and you have to re-sign the labor agreement with the union to protect the contract, there is no other choice, and if you want to buy the factory, you have to convert the plant and equipment, this is my bottom line. ”

Lucas says it's his 'bottom line'.

In this regard, the old butler Nord shrugged his shoulders helplessly, showing a very 'sorry' look, and said to Lucas: "Okay, Mr. Lucas, you can continue to stick to your offer, but I can only regret to tell you that you have lost such an intentional buyer and opportunity that you have been waiting for so hard." ”

No!

Not really!

I don't want it!

"Mr. Nord, did the buyer also give you a bottom line price, please tell me. I don't want to continue to maintain that factory, and I don't want to continue to drag it out if it suits our fixed price. ”

Seeing that Nord was about to retreat, and at the same time thinking of the wages of the workers who had to be paid every day, Lucas, who couldn't really support it, finally couldn't hold back.

What bullshit bottom line, those workers have nothing to do every day, and they still want to pay their salaries, Lucas doesn't want to continue to be dragged down by the factory.

Now it's hard to have a 'fool' come out, and if you run away for yourself, then you really can't cry.

The price of 30 million is indeed very low, but after all, he can get cash and get rid of the black hole of his factory that is now devouring his wealth.

So if you look at it this way, it's a good thing.

So, Lucas decided to try harder.

"35 million, that's the final price. If you still don't agree, I really can't help it, that's all the quote from the customer's side. ”

When Old Nord heard this, he added 5 million after pretending to be a pretend.

Hearing the 'last' offer of old Nord, Lucas clenched his teeth, his expression was already a little hideous, which showed that he was doing a fierce 'struggle' in his heart at this moment.

Long......

"Okay!

Lucas finally nodded to the old butler here, and after agreeing with the old butler Nord's offer of 35 million, Anne, who sat on the side and didn't say anything from beginning to end, showed a faint smile, and at the same time looked down at Coco, who was attracted by the 'confrontation' between the old butler and Lucas with a curious expression.

"It's business, you know?"

Anne asked Coco in a whisper.

At this time, the old butler was already saying goodbye to Lucas, and at the same time told him to go to such and such a place in the afternoon, and each of them had found a lawyer to sign the sales contract and other matters.

Little Coco withdrew her curious gaze and turned her head to look into Anne's eyes, "Is it fun to do business?", the little one's rhetorical question sounded very interesting to Anne.

After thinking about it, Anne smiled a little seductively and said to Coco, "It's fun!

When the little guy hears that this kind of thing is funny, he will think so much about it. Then he happily clapped his white and tender little hands, and responded to Anne in a milky voice: "Coco wants to learn, Coco wants to play, Coco wants to do business!"
