"The Burt Building, the headquarters of Burt Textile Company, is a very old twenty-story building, but the prospects for appreciation are still very good. It is located at the end of the commercial street. Atlanta's business center is moving to the east of the city.
."
Karl quickly understood Li Mochen's intention: "You are going to buy it and build it as the flagship store of Xuri Company, right? If so, you can avoid a lot of taxes. However, you will have to invest a lot of money in repairs and renovations as an office building.
, it’s really too old.”
"I'm hesitant. If we really build a flagship store, it might be very busy."
Li Mochen indeed has such a wish, and this Bert Building, which is located almost in the center of the city, is also very suitable.
It must be mentioned here that after the great success of the first step, Kadylan Gibson’s ambitions grew rapidly and he planned to increase the number of stores to fifty-six in the next three months, covering the entire
Atlanta and surrounding cities.
Taking into account the needs of personnel training and maintaining reputation, this is already the ultimate speed of Xuri Company's expansion. If it is faster, it will affect the service quality of the store.
But even if Li Mochen buys all these stores, it is estimated that it will not cost more than 120 million gold shields, so the Burt Building is also in his sights. It is not only suitable for the flagship store of Rising Sun Company in Atlanta, but also suitable for opening
A department store.
Then he plans to use this part of the assets to mortgage loans and continue to borrow money throughout the state of Georgia, as well as surrounding New Manchester (fictitious), Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi and other neighboring states.
In addition to Portland, Boston, New Haven, Manhattan and other major coastal cities, we are hoarding suitable stores to support the next expansion of Rising Sun Company.
Li Mochen has some knowledge of real estate and knows that due to the economic crisis caused by 'Black Monday' three years ago, real estate prices throughout America are at a low level, with prices generally less than 45% of what they were three years ago.
.
By purchasing those stores at this time, the rent saved by the company is enough to be equivalent to 1.4 to 1.8 times the bank interest. Although his approach will affect the expansion speed of the stores, it can provide benefits to his peers in the future.
Competition builds the foundation and hoards ammunition.
Li Mochen is also optimistic about the future real estate prospects. With America's economic recovery, this investment will surely reap huge returns.
But Li Mochen also realized that if he really planned to do this, the affairs of Xuri Company would become even busier. It is estimated that he would have little time to spare in the next month or two.
"Then you are really busy."
Karl sighed. He knew that Li Mochen did have a lot of things on his hands. This guy was also a magic professional and a fighting star, and he needed to spend a lot of time in practice.
"Then can you take some time to pay attention to Claude Antle in Macon City and St. Macon High School?"
"Macon City? There is a new opponent, right? Is this person capable of defeating me?"
Li Mochen knew that Macon was a large city in Georgia, located southeast of Atlanta.
"No, only monsters can defeat monsters. This is a rule recognized by the industry. And this Claude does not have such strength yet."
Karl shook his head: "But he is a paladin, and he is a favored person by the Lord of Glory. He masters three kinds of sacred magic. So their purpose is not to snipe you in the individual competition, but to coldly
Weapons team competition. They are planning to send you home in the top 16 tournament in Georgia two months later."
"Group?" Li Mochen's eyes narrowed slightly: "The team of St. Macon High School is very strong?"
Karl shook his head and said: "It is definitely not better than Linden College. Your college, including you, has four seventh-level professionals. I predict that by that time, Louise Linden and Lina may have reached the level of
Level 8. But Amo, do you know about divine martial arts training?"
"I saw it in a book."
Li Mochen fell into deep thought: "The name is nice, but the essence is to offer sacrifices to gods, even evil gods, to gain knowledge and power. However, the sacrifices paid will be far beyond ordinary sacrifices, and of course the consequences will be much less."
"But this time, several big groups have joined forces. Including Arcadis, Sabertooth Tiger, Kafia and several major sports brands. They want to suppress your momentum at any cost. Team battle is a good direction, after all.
In America, team combat and cold weapon combat still have the largest audience. If Linden College loses in the Georgia team competition, it will also affect the perception of some of your fans towards you, so the company hopes that you will pay more attention in this regard.
——”
As soon as Carl said this, he received a mobile phone call. It was from his immediate boss, Dwight Payton. This person did not guard against Li Mochen, who also heard the words "publisher" and "comics" sporadically.
, 'shit' and other nouns, and then Karl would smile from time to time. Of course he didn't make a sound, he didn't dare to be noticed by his boss.
When Carl hung up the phone, Li Mochen asked: "What's going on? It sounds like it has something to do with my comics?"
"Mr. Payton, he saw your comic a few days ago and thought it was very promising, so he wanted to help you sell it. But in the end, he ran into a wall in front of the president of Ferguson Culture Media Company. Although they were willing to help you publish it, they could not put forward the conditions.
Not much better
, you need to completely change the drawing and change the style of painting. However, you know that Mr. Payton is very opinionated and stubborn. After he was humiliated by that guy Mandyvin Ferguson, he has been obsessed with giving pictures for the past few days.
In your sales job."
When Carl said this, his face was full of weird smile: "Unfortunately, they all failed. Until today, he finally found a suitable publishing house, but Mr. Payton asked me to suggest that you just spend money to acquire it, and then
Self-publish.”
When he said this, Karl's tone gradually became serious: "Their publishing qualifications and channels are very complete, at least they can cover the entire state of Georgia. In addition, there is also a "" that covers Atlanta locally, with 73,000 subscriptions a year.
The readers of the Atlanta Labor Journal are mainly concentrated in the southern suburbs of Atlanta. Now its owner, due to difficulties in running the family business, plans to sell the publishing house. The price is very cost-effective, only 7 million gold shields, of course you have to
Bear the publishing house’s debt of four million guilders.”
Li Mochen was immediately moved. He knew the significance of a media. It meant the influence on public opinion and the power to interfere in Atlanta's political scene.
Although the number of 73,000 subscriptions is small, the concentration of readers means that it is enough to influence the constituencies of three to five city councilors.
"Also, Mr. Peyton asked you to be careful of the demon wolf Fenrir."
"Why?"
"Fenrir's hunting group has been disabled. Recently, several major forces have attacked them. Most of their more than 3,000 members have been dispersed. However, the demon wolf Fenrir and his most powerful subordinates have also passed
A special channel to return to the world of light. So far, no one has found any trace of him. Mr. Payton estimates that they are planning some big operation at the moment."
Karl's expression was very relaxed: "I guess there is a high probability that he will not come to you. After all, his main enemies now are still the guys who pushed him to a desperate situation. But we can't help but guard against -"
When Li Mochen heard this, he suddenly felt a slight movement in the 'Shenxiao Spiritual Purple Gold Pagoda' behind him.
His face couldn't help but look strange. His 'Shenxiao Spiritual Purple Gold Pagoda' was warning, but the reaction was very slight. It didn't look like there was any fatal danger.
