"Thomas, has the group invested very little resources in San Francisco in recent years?" Guo Yongren asked. Thomas looked at David, and David nodded, which meant that it could be said.
"It can't be said that there are very few, it should be said that there is none. Since Sandy's betrayal, basically the group has not made any investment in San Francisco," Thomas said seriously.
"You're not invested in the group members, are you?" Guo Yongren said directly. Thomas nodded. He has been relying on himself to support himself for several years, but he is about to retire and won't be able to survive for long.
Guo Yongren looked at David and raised his glass. David smiled and raised his glass and clinked it with Guo Yongren. The two of them understood the meaning. Guo Yongren meant that I am going to officially join San Francisco. David
It means I have no opinion and will never interfere.
Thomas couldn't understand, but Thomas was very steady and didn't say anything. Guo Yongren looked at Thomas and said, "I just joined the group. Mr. David, Mr. West, and Mr. Sartre thought highly of me and gave me the status of a core member.
, we went downstairs together, and after Mr. David announced the matter, someone immediately came out to question me and asked me what abilities I have as a core." Guo Yongren looked at Thomas and said calmly.
Thomas was stunned, but after listening to the idea, he wanted to know how Guo Yongren answered. Now he also has this question in his mind, that is, why Guo Yongren became the core of the group. Although he did not ask David this question, this question has always been in his mind.
Guo Yongren can see it.
"Oh, I don't know how Mr. Guo answered." Thomas asked, asking this question involuntarily, and David also began to recall the scene of that day.
"It's very simple, money, my ability is to have money." Guo Yongren said with a smile. Thomas was stunned and looked at Guo Yongren. This answer is enough..., how to say, it's amazing, I have money, what can you do?
.
Just as he was thinking about it, Guo Yongren continued to speak, "I had just met with the members in New York. I didn't have much of a meeting gift, so I directly donated $100,000 to their fund. In this way, the members in New York basically remembered me," Guo Yongren said with a smile.
.
Thomas laughed as well. You gave me one hundred thousand and I remembered you. "Of course, there is no one who questions the core of the group. Not only that, but the following offense will be expelled from the group. Our group does not need people who do not understand the rules." Guo Yongren calmly said
said.
Thomas's eyes just narrowed, and there was a lot of information revealed in it. Thomas was not a young man anymore. On the contrary, Thomas had gone through ups and downs to get to this day, and he grasped the information revealed in it keenly.
It's not simple. Although this core member is young, he is not without means. He can turn defeat into victory and turn the situation around in an instant. This ability is not possessed by ordinary people. No matter what means, the winner is king.
"If I guess correctly, is Mr. Thomas planning to retire?" Guo Yongren asked, and Thomas nodded.
"After the San Francisco mayoral election next year, I will completely retire," Thomas said directly without any concealment, and Guo Yongren nodded.
He took out the checkbook directly from his pocket, wrote a check, and handed it to Thomas. Thomas looked at David, David nodded, and Thomas took it. "One million." Thomas directly said the amount.
, I don’t understand what Guo Yongren means.
"Thomas, half a million of these are your own. You have paid a lot for the group in San Francisco in the past few years. This is compensation for you. You can keep it safely." Guo Yongren said directly while shaking the wine glass. Thomas did not put it away.
, but looked at Guo Yongren.
"The other five hundred thousand is for the group members. Of course, it is worth it for the group members who have persisted until now. Please Mr. Thomas give it to them. They have worked hard these years. Tell them that I am here." Guo Yongren said very
dull.
Thomas was stunned. The thing was very simple, but the meaning revealed was not simple at all, especially the last sentence, "I'm here." This sentence was very domineering, and when paired with the dollar, the meaning couldn't be clearer.
David smiled bitterly at the side. It's amazing. Guo's method is extraordinary. He didn't expect this method. First of all, Thomas was compensated. The group thanked him for his efforts in the past few years. Five hundred thousand dollars is enough for his retirement.
.
When other members of the group receive compensation, they will definitely have hope. The more severe the suppression, the greater the backlash. The new core will be compensated before they meet. This is to tell you that I am here and good days are coming.
Instinctively, it will give members more recognition in their hearts.
Because the U.S. dollar is the most affordable representation, and there is nothing more affordable than this. Isn’t that what you work hard to become a member of the parliament for? You can get U.S. dollars by working with a group. This is what Guo Yongren wants to express.
Thomas is very clear about the information here, and he is more convinced of Guo Yongren. He has already received half a million US dollars from others, and he must give corresponding returns. It can be said that from the moment he received the money,
I now belong to this new core member.
"Thomas, take it, you've suffered a lot these past few years," David said from the side, and Thomas collected the check.
"Thank you," Thomas said to Guo Yongren, then raised his glass, and Guo Yongren touched it with him with a smile.
"Those who are not firm-willed and wavering don't need to consider it. The future of the group is bright and there is no need for those people." Guo Yongren said with a smile. Thomas nodded, understanding what Guo Yongren meant.
"When will Mr. Guo go to San Francisco?" Thomas asked, indicating his attitude.
"Don't worry, help me get a piece of land in San Francisco first. I want to build a global landmark building, which will be Umbrella's headquarters in the Americas," Guo Yongren said with a smile.
Thomas was stunned for a moment, then understood. Just when he was about to speak, Guo Yongren spoke again, "My lawyer will contact you." Guo Yongren said with a smile. This was a test, a test for Thomas.
If you have no objection to me, then I also want to see your ability. This is a test. If you can successfully complete it, then continue playing. If not, it is very simple. You can just retire when the time comes. I don’t need useless people around me.
Man, what Guo Yongren means is very clear.
Thomas raised his eyebrows, "No problem, just ask him to contact me directly." Thomas also had a temper. Guo Yongren smiled, nodded, and continued to sip the red wine, very patiently.
David looked at everything that happened and nodded. Thomas was good, but Guo's methods were even more powerful. Thomas had not yet realized that he had entered the path laid out by Guo and was starting to walk. The outcome was already decided.
.
Then David interrupted, but it was no longer about serious matters, but about romance. Guo Yongren chatted with David enthusiastically, and Thomas smiled bitterly.
Awesome, really awesome. This is the core of the group. I can be said to be an old man, but I was still tricked. I can’t accept it anymore. I really came here. Today’s young people are so awesome.
We had a meal at David's place at noon, and the atmosphere was quite good. Guo Yongren also told David that he was going to visit his manor, which should be under construction. He was very much looking forward to it, and hoped that David would be a guest by then.
David would definitely not refuse and agreed immediately.
After the meal, Guo Yongren said goodbye. David and Thomas sent Guo Yongren to the car and left. Instead of going back to the room, the two of them went for a walk in the garden. They are not young anymore and they all need sunshine.
"Sir, this core is very capable," Thomas said to David. The two have been in a relationship for decades, and there is nothing that cannot be said.
"Of course, I introduced Guo to the group, and I personally applied for his ID card and passport," David said with a smile. Thomas gave David a thumbs up. This was a great job.
"Thomas, you know, I'm not worried at all that Guo won't be able to control San Francisco," David said with a smile. Thomas was stunned and looked at David.
"Guo is a genius. He started from scratch and founded the Umbrella Group in a few years. The current market value of the Umbrella Group is no less than 10 billion US dollars, or even more. The Umbrella Investment Company under the Umbrella Group is one of the top ten companies on Wall Street. You
Do you think such a person can't control a city?" David said with a smile.
Only then did Thomas understand how powerful Guo Yongren was. No one who could build such a big business from scratch was simple. No wonder, but then Thomas frowned and looked at David, "David, such a powerful person
, and for such a young person, if you introduce him to California, in the future..." Thomas said that he would not go into details here. The meaning was very clear. David knew what Thomas was worried about.
David smiled and said, "Thomas, you don't understand. Guo is different from ordinary people. He is a person who knows how to repay kindness. Many people cannot do this," David said directly.
Thomas felt relieved when he heard what David said. Since you have already thought about it, I won't say more. "Thomas, keep an eye on Sandy. The traitor must pay the price," David said again.
"Don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on him." Thomas said directly. Sandy's betrayal was unacceptable to them. Although David could not take action, Guo Yongren did not have this restriction.
"Cooperate well with Guo. I told him about Sandy, and Guo will deal with him openly." David continued. Thomas nodded. Now Thomas is full of hope for the future.
Guo Yongren returned to the hotel, "Amelia, check out tomorrow, book a hotel in San Francisco, preferably closer to our manor, and inform them that I will go check it out the day after tomorrow." Guo Yongren said directly, and Amelia went to make arrangements.
