In the van, Old Tom was forced by Leo and said with a sad face:
"How can you get that kind of bargain for free? This is Hell's Kitchen, and everything of any value is taken over by people. Here, if you want something, you have to rob it..."
Suddenly, Old Tom seemed to realize something and hurriedly asked:
"You, you mean...you want to ask where there is such a large territory in Hell's Kitchen, or is it controlled by gangs, and you want to grab it and occupy it?!"
Old Tom finally understood what Leo really meant. However, Leo shook his head and said:
"How could I possibly steal other people's things? Don't say it in such a vulgar way, I just want to borrow or rent it for use.
In fact, the size of the Innocence Bar and the Night Banquet Bar last night were okay, but they only have two floors, so I’m not satisfied with them. Can you tell me if there are any other places that meet my requirements?”
After Li Ao woke up in the morning, he thought about starting a company for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind that the chips must not be sold directly, and he could not kill the goose to obtain the eggs.
Based on the memory of his previous life, Leo clearly knew that with the development of the Internet and the trend of economic globalization, the further back the time point, the harder it is to make money.
Therefore, it is rare for Leo to have a core technology that can make money, and he must not let it go. Once Leo seizes this opportunity, it will play an immeasurable role in promoting his future development.
Leo even thought about the blueprints of various new weapons stored in the hard drive. The interests of the military industry are extremely huge. In the future, Leo feels that he may not be able to share the profits of military products with Stark Industries.
benefit.
Since opening a company now is so important to Leo's future, he thought that the sooner he could open the company, the better. But now that there was no place to open a company, Leo naturally took the idea to the gangsters in Hell's Kitchen.
superior.
Other gangs can fight for territory, and of course Leo can too.
"Old Tom, think about it carefully, is there such a place in Hell's Kitchen?"
Seeing that Old Tom remained silent, Leo urged him.
"I really can't remember this moment and a half, please let me think about it slowly..."
Old Tom was a little embarrassed. Suddenly, he saw that he had arrived at his destination and said hurriedly:
"Mr. Erwin, stop the car. The place where you get your ID is right here. I'd better go get your ID first..."
Leo didn't make it particularly difficult for Old Tom. He stopped the car, but Old Tom didn't get out of the car.
"What's wrong? What are you doing in the car? Are you going to apply for identification?"
Old Tom hesitated and said with a smile:
"I, I don't have any money...the money was left in the Black Bear Gang's office..."
What Old Tom obviously means is that the money fell into the Black Bear Gang, and now it's back in Leo's hands.
"How much does it cost?"
"Twenty thousand..."
"to be honest!"
"two thousand……"
"You and the Black Bear Gang are really dark!"
Leo counted out two thousand dollars, without giving even a penny more. Now that Leo was short of money, he wished he could break the penny in half and spend it.
When handing Old Tom the money, Leo said:
"Keep what I just asked you in mind, think about it carefully, and ask around to find out where the house I want is in Hell's Kitchen."
Old Tom took the money and hurriedly got out of the car, thinking as he walked: "I'm afraid this Hell's Kitchen is going to completely change."
…
Leo waited in the car for three hours before Old Tom returned to the car. As soon as he opened the door, Old Tom said with a happy face:
"Everything goes well. The certificate will be issued in about four days."
After saying that, Old Tom looked at Leo with a flattering expression.
"Why, you still want to ask me for a commission? Is your life worth anything? Is it enough to pay your commission? Everyone in the Black Bear Gang is dead, and you are the only one who survived. Isn't that enough for the commission?!"
Old Tom immediately shrank on the passenger seat with a look of despair. According to Old Tom's life principles, life is the first and money is the 1.1st. Now there is no money to make, rounding it off is equivalent to losing one.
life.
"Actually, it's easy if you want money. As long as you help me find the house I mentioned to you when I came here, I can reward you two thousand...two hundred dollars."
Old Tom glanced at Leo resentfully and nodded helplessly, indicating that he would try his best to find it.
Time flew by and five days passed.
During these five days, apart from going out to buy newspapers and eating every day, Leo spent the rest of his time in the Harvest Hotel, non-stop refining and simplifying technologies and technologies related to computer chips and the Internet from the drawings of the [Autonomous Awareness Multifunctional Robot].
drawing.
During these five days, Bucky stayed up and down at night every day, and he didn't know what he was busy with. Leo took the time to ask, and Bucky said that he was busy with his own grand project and didn't need to worry about Leo.
After Old Tom completed the identity certification procedures for Leo and Bucky on the first day, Leo ordered him to dispose of the box of gold and silver jewelry stolen from Minnesota.
Of course, Leo didn't trust Old Tom's character, so he asked Bucky to go with Old Tom.
Old Tom's connections were surprisingly good. A box of gold and silver jewelry was successfully sold the next night, and there was a particularly valuable gemstone in the box. In the end, a box of items was exchanged for US$270,000.
Of course, Bucky also put a lot of effort into this process, using violence to increase the price and solving some inevitable troubles.
Leo now suddenly had more than 300,000 US dollars in cash. It can be said that he became rich overnight. However, compared with the cost of starting a technology company, Leo was pitifully poor...
After several days of hard work, all the core technologies were almost ready. Leo was looking at the thick formulas and drawings on his desktop, thinking about how to make money.
Dong dong dong...
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then Old Tom's voice rang:
"Mr. Erwin, this is Old Tom, are you in the house?"
Leo first sorted out a pile of drawings, stuffed them into a box, then finished it on the chair and said:
"You can just come in, the door is unlocked."
Old Tom pushed the door open and came in, holding a plastic bag in his hand. Old Tom first put the plastic bag on the table in front of Leo, and then said:
"Mr. Erwin, this is the identity certificate that I helped you and Boss Bucky apply for five days ago. Fortunately, it has been successfully issued. Please see if you are satisfied with it."
There were two Social Security cards and two driver's licenses in the bag. Leo took them out and looked at them for a few times. After finding that there was no problem, he put the documents away.
With these identification certificates, Leo and Bucky finally have a formal identity and can live a normal life like ordinary American citizens.
"I asked you to find a big house for free a few days ago. Have you found out anything about it?"
Leo asked without any hope, just like he did every time he saw Old Tom these days. Who knows, this time Old Tom didn't say no, and he answered excitedly:
"I have already inquired about the house that meets your requirements. That place will definitely satisfy you."
