Chapter 267: Banquet Nothing [2]
Durin hung up the phone and asked Ellis to deliver everything to Luke, and Luke's lawyer called in the evening. In order to kick out the "liar" of Durin as quickly as possible, Luke did it very carefully. He invited three of the best financial companies in Yilian to evaluate the original Oriental Star Entertainment Company, and the results came out in the afternoon, according to the financial records and various bills in Du Lin's hands, the market value of the Oriental Star Entertainment Company was suppressed by hundreds of thousands, and the total market value of Southern Viewing was 11.8 million yuan.
According to the explanation of breach of contract in the supplementary clause of the agreement, Luke did not even show up in person, so he asked the lawyer to send a cashier's check of 5.9 million. Although the number was more than a million higher than what Juan said, Luke still pinched his nose and recognized it. He'll get that money back, but not now.
The lawyer said a few words and asked Doolin to sign some documents, proving that Doolin had returned his equity to Luke through the breach of contract clause of another agreement, and received a cashier's check of 5.9 million, and since then Southern Watching and DΓΌhrin have no dime of relationship. Durin didn't have any objection to this, and he signed all the agreements and asked Luke's lawyer to leave.
He sat and thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and made a call to Joshua on Xie Lisi Street, the imperial capital, the content of the call was very simple, only four words at the end of the month.
He then made another phone call to James, the president of the Ilian branch of the Imperial Bank, and invited him to dinner. James, who was very sensitive to business changes between the Ilian tycoons, immediately agreed to Durin's invitation, and he knew about the withdrawal of shares, and he knew better that Dulin now had nearly six million in cash. This cash is a large amount of money for him as the president of the bank, and if he can get it to the Ilian branch, he will look much better at the end of the year.
Dinner was booked in Alexander's hotel, and a separate side room was opened for the two of them to dine, James came a little early, and then Durin arrived.
After serving, Durin placed a business card on the table and slowly pushed it over. Then, without saying a word, he began to taste the dishes that Alexander had prepared for him this evening. The main course was a fine steak, which had been sold for ninety-eight dollars a pound on the Illian's side, and it was raw. After it is cooked, if such a steak is not sold for one hundred and ninety-nine yuan, it will simply lose money.
James glanced down at the business card a little strangely, and his mind went blank for a moment, and then a faint excitement grew in the uneasiness. There was only one name and a phone number on this plain-looking business card, the two wiring numbers in front of the phone number were from the imperial capital, and the numbers in the back were unfamiliar to him. He was familiar with the name, the name of one of the three presidents of the Board of Directors of the Reich's Central Bank.
From design to production, this business card may cost less than ten dollars a piece, but with this name and this number signed on it, it is worth 10,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, or even 1 million yuan!
Not everyone had the right to call this number, and even if Durin gave him this business card, he would not dare to call this number. He respectfully pushed the business card back, and said with a somewhat envious smile: "This business card has a very special meaning, you must keep it!"
Durin casually put the business card in his pocket, he put down the knife and fork, and took the napkin and wiped his lips, "The steak is very good, you can try it." β
James picked up the knife and fork and cut off a piece of bread and put it in his mouth, nodding involuntarily, "It's good, the ingredients are very good, the chef's skills are also very good, this is the most perfect steak I've had this year!"
"It may be a bit presumptuous to ask, I would like to ask what you will do if I can't redeem what I have pledged in the bank after the expiration date?", Durin gestured as he pulled out a cigarette and James waved his hand.
Perhaps because of the role of that business card, James did not answer immediately, but really thought about it, "We will have two plans, if the mortgaged assets have a high rate of return, we will write a report on the self-management of mortgaged assets and submit it to the head office, and the head office will approve these reports at the weekly board meeting." Once they feel it's enforceable, they'll have the manpower to run it directly. The financial income generated by the operation will first make up for the shortfall of the loan, and then the profits generated will be handed over to the head office except for a small part of the profits that will be paid to the executive branch. β
"There is also a possibility that the profit and benefit of the pledged assets do not meet expectations, we will conduct a public auction, which is actually divided into two situations, if the market value of the mortgage asset itself is very high, the head office will arrange a special person to split, and then auction separately for maximum benefit. Generally speaking, small, medium-sized, non-profitable assets are directly auctioned for public auction. β
James asked a little strangely, "Do you need a loan?" Mr. Dulin, you can rest assured, I will definitely give you the maximum amount and the lowest interest, you are one of the most important customers of our central bank. β
Durin shook his head and didn't answer the question, but continued to choose to ask, "If I skip one or two of these links, can I get these assets directly from the bank?"
This is a clear violation, and the larger the organization, the more rules and regulations there are, and some people may find it rigid and limit everyone's enthusiasm and creativity. It may be a rule that some employees don't understand, but for the organization itself, the system is necessary to keep it going on.
If everyone can jump out of the rules and do things according to their own ideas, then the bigger the organization, the faster it will collapse.
James understood this, and he looked down at the fragrant steak on the plate for a moment before smiling. He knew very well that Duhrin was asking this question because he wanted something out of the bank's collateral, and James should refuse according to the rules and regulations, but the meaning of the previous business card of the chairman of the board of directors was too great.
The Reichsbank is actually like a miniature state polity, and for middle managers like him, it is not as safe as those at the bottom. If the low-level employees do something wrong, they will be scolded at most and deducted a little money, and they will continue to work tomorrow when they should be working. But what about middle managers? If they do something wrong, it will not be a trivial matter, not only will they lose their good jobs, but they may also be held accountable and compensated by the bank, and they may even go to jail.
They enjoy better treatment and benefits, and of course they take more lethal risks. If you don't have a "person of your own" on the council, the devil knows when you might be swept away by the bank for something that has nothing to do with you.
And this is not an ordinary business card, it is the business card of the chairman, and for the sake of this relationship, James does not mind moving himself a little.
"What do you want?", he picked up his knife and fork and continued to eat the steak on his plate, at this point there was nothing he couldn't let go.
Du Lin didn't hang his appetite either, and directly explained his thoughts, "I want Juan's pledged liquor license, liquor making license, and liquor sales license." β
James was stunned for a moment, he immediately realized something, but he didn't think deeply, he pondered for a while, and then nodded, "This is not a problem at all, but it will take a while, and we can only operate this matter after it is determined that he cannot repay the principal and interest of the bank loan, and it is determined by him himself." "And I personally don't think it's going to be easy, once Juan and the George family have negotiated a partnership, and some banks are willing to fund him, he can redeem these assets." β
"That's my business, isn't it?", Durin picked up a knife and fork and cut off a piece of beef, watching James chew the beef bun twice in his mouth, James could clearly see Durin's throat slide up and down. For some reason, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and at the same time felt an inexplicable uneasiness. Durin's eyes were calm, and he glanced at the dishes on the table, "Are we friends?
James's heartbeat was accelerating, he didn't understand why suddenly a strong sense of oppression erupted on Durin's body, he hooked his fingers on the neckline and tugged outward, nodded and said, "Yes, we are friends!"
"Ha, I knew we must be good friends, come and try the dishes I prepared for my friends!"
After eating, James left with a bag given to him by Dulin, and he had been dealing with money for almost his whole life, and when he touched it, he knew what was inside, at least 50,000 yuan. This is the benefit fee given to him by Du Lin, the benefit fee given in advance, he originally intended not to collect it, but in Du Lin's indescribable eyes, he still accepted it. When he got home, he hid the bag of money in the compartment, and then took a few steps back and forth, picked up a piece of paradise from his desk and stuffed it into his mouth.
He had a good relationship with Juan, a very good old friend, and he was eager to make a phone call to tell Juan that Durin had taken a fancy to his liquor license. But every time he touched the phone, he remembered the look in Durin's eyes when he finally sent him away, and it was terrifying, as if Durin's eyes were not in focus, but a thing, or something.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to reveal a little bit of the news to Juan, but the moment he picked up the phone and put it to his ear, he put the phone back in a decadent manner.
Because...... The phone line was broken.
