On October 7, 1998, it was 23 days before American Halloween.

Just when Yi Feiyang was crazy revising the script of "Ghost Shadow Record", he unexpectedly received a call from the camel master in Chinatown.

Camel said on the phone that the place to start a movie company was found.

Chinatown itself is a small place, and Yi Feiyang always thought that it would be nice to be able to find an office building with an area of ​​200 to 300 square meters. But he never expected that Camel would be so big.

No. 13 Chinatown.

This obscure figure that Westerners don't like very much today brings good luck to Yi Feiyang.

Standing in front of the three-story building and looking ahead, the huge company is like an old castle, which is shocking.

"How is it, Ayan, isn't this place right?" Camel said with a smile.

"Not only bad, it's awesome!" Yi Feiyang praised sincerely.

"I didn't expect you would find such a big place, with a total area of ​​3,000 square meters?"

"Not only, if the area of ​​three floors is calculated together, it is about 10,000 square meters." Camel said, "It was originally a factory here, but unfortunately the benefits were not good. The products produced could not be sold at all. , Directly declared bankruptcy, and now the machines and equipment are sold, and only this empty shell is left. I think the place is quite large. It is quite suitable for you to be a movie company, so I came over. "

"What did you do here?"

"I make socks. The boss is an American named Henry Miller. He is an old capitalist in Los Angeles. I heard that this person is old and wily. He is only profitable. Many people do n't like him ... I just do n't understand why I would open such a factory in Chinatown, and sell socks without making money, unless they meet their Christmas ... This old guy can be considered a capsized boat in this ditch this time. "Camel Ye was very humorous in the West.

"But when he overturned the boat, it was cheaper for us. I called him and visited him. The old guy was very good at first, biting 800,000 US dollars for 3 years without letting loose; I finally bargained to 600,000. what do you think?"

"Lease for 600,000 US dollars for 3 years?" Although Yi Feiyang was not clear about real estate in the United States, he also knew that it was definitely a good deal. However, by nature he was cautious and never believed that the stuffing cake would fall from the sky, especially when he heard that the man was still old and sly, how could a person like this easily lose money? !!

"Camel, if I can, I'd love to see this Mr. Henry."

"Of course you can, after all, you are the boss!" Camel said very easily.

"So good, how about two hours later?"

"So urgent?"

"No way, I'm racing against time." Yi Feiyang smiled bitterly.

"Rest assured, I try to arrange!"

Camel did not understand, in fact, Yi Feiyang asked to meet within two hours and had a deep meaning.

If the other party is not in a hurry to rent out, then such a hurry date will be rejected, because according to the tradition of Westerners, appointments must be reserved in advance. They have a planned and regular schedule, unlike the Chinese Business, impromptu, go directly to the wine table.

On the other hand, if the other party agrees to this impolite impromptu date, it means that the other party is very eager to lease the factory building, then there must be a problem in it.

Why would an old capitalist not put on display, so hungry for renting a factory soon? I also want to know with my ass, among them there is fussy!

Camel is fast, dialing the phone, but it took less than three minutes to say to Feiyang, "Well, Ayan, Mr. Henry Miller, promise to meet you as soon as possible within two hours . "

Yi Feiyang laughed. It seemed that the boss of Henry was more anxious than himself.

Now that it has been agreed, of course, before meeting the boss of Henry, Yi Feiyang certainly has to do some preparations. So he picked up the phone, hesitated a moment, and finally called the lion gate owner Gusta.

If it's a good estimate, Gusta was born of a banker, and he can't understand the details of those old Los Angeles capitalists.

As for the relationship between Gusta and himself, Yi Feiyang did not think so much, after all, the two sides have always used each other's interests. Friends? In a place like Hollywood, the word friend seems cheap!

...

At 11 o'clock that morning.

Yi Feiyang is a very punctual person, but that Henry boss is not so punctual.

In a delicate coffee shop in Los Angeles, from 8:30 to 11 o'clock, Yi Feiyang has waited for 2 and a half hours.

When he looked at his watch again, the camel grandfather sitting opposite him suddenly said, "Mr. Henry is here!"

Yi Feiyang turned around and saw a man in a striped suit approaching.

The man was about fifty years old, had a pair of bulging goldfish eyes, and his head was shiny.

When he came to the seat, he greeted the camel grandfather and Yi Feiyang enthusiastically, and then he apologized and said that he was too busy to work and came late.

I have to say that this guy who looks like an old capitalist knows how to communicate, at least he has a smile on his face, giving people a harmless feeling.

"I don't have much time, so let's get into the subject," said Goldfisheye Henry.

"You estimate that I have seen that plant, 600,000, leased for 3 years, I think this is a very good price, you can't find a cheaper place in Los Angeles than me!"

"Yes, I have seen your factory, but the place seems to be worn out." Yi Feiyang said.

"Shabby? Oh yeah? You noticed it, haha, but then again, if it weren't for the shabby place, I wouldn't rent it so cheap, wouldn't it?" Henry lifted Erlang's legs, and a pair of goldfish eyes narrowed into a slit .

"But what I want to know is," Yi Feiyang said decisively, "In the past three years, can we use your factory with peace of mind, or in other words, it will be taken directly by a bank, and we Then the blood is lost? "

The boss Henry seemed to be poked at the backbone, "Oh my God, how can you say that? I 'm an honest businessman, how can I do this kind of side-by-side thing? Besides, you go out and ask, how many companies are there in this factory? I hope the lease, if it is not for the sake of the old camel, I would not lease it to you so cheaply! "Henry, the goldfish eye, was so angry that he didn't speak well.

Camel Ye is called "Old Camel" and feels very depressed.

Lao Tzu is humpbacked, but it can be straight but straight like a javelin! So it's not the "old camel", it's just the hump! Your mother's head ...

Yi Feiyang looked at Henry's boss who seemed to be thundering with a smile, and said, "Be quiet, my dear Mr. Henry. I have never liked to speak vernacular or to doubt others for no reason, but ..."

Yi Feiyang paused, then took a cup of coffee and took a sip. "But this sale can't help me wonder ..."

"Suspicious? Oh god, what 's your suspicion? 600,000 pick up a big bargain, if it was me, I would have laughed so tightly ... well, since you are so sincere, I do n't want to I'm leaving with you, yeah, I really want to go! Dammit, you guys on this date don't know how much my business has been delayed! "

Looking at the angry boss Henry, Camel tried his best to keep, "He is a young man and doesn't talk much. Mr. Henry asks you to stay!"

Goldfisheye Henry did not give the camel grandfather a face, and made a stance to walk away, holding Yi Feiyang proudly, waiting for him to be soft.

Yi Feiyang smiled, took up the coffee, and said to Goldfisheye Henry, "Boss Henry, why are you so anxious, it is better to sit down and drink something."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yi, I don't like the coffee here, it's too bitter!" Henry said with his nose tilted.

"That's because you didn't drink really good coffee, such as cappuccino ... definitely sweet and delicious."

"Hum, I'm fine. I have something to do now. Goodbye! Goodbye, my Mr. Yi!" Henry turned to leave.

"I don't know what the Lehman Bank will do for your application for bankruptcy, and whether Mr. Henry's immigration to Canada will go smoothly?" Yi Feiyang said slowly.

Henry Miller, who was about to turn away, froze.

"What are you talking about? Dear Yi, I don't quite understand?" Henry Miller turned his head, his face became slightly ugly, and said Yi Feiyang with the bulging goldfish eyes.

"What I said, you should know better than me, don't you, dear Henry Boss?" Yi Feiyang took a sip of coffee and then said, "As far as I know, your immigration formalities have been completed. Come down, and your bankruptcy procedures will be completed before you immigrate, is that so? Many of your industries will be confiscated by the loan banks, such as this socks factory that should not be opened in Chinatown ... It will be taken away by the bank, and we poor renters can only be desperate. God, this is the favorite trick of old capitalists, but it is miserable for many people! "

"Enough, do you say enough?" Boss Henry was furious. "The reason why I came to meet you today is that I deserve you, yes, I deserve you, you know ?! If there is no dear old camel in the middle Now, I won't see you at all! God, you are so insulting me without any evidence. You have damaged the reputation of a gentleman and the heart of a businessman! I urge you to apologize to me! "

"Apologize?" Yi Feiyang smiled, then drank the coffee in the cup and stood up ...

"What do you want?" Henry stepped back cautiously.

Do you want to use force? Damn Chinese!

Yi Feiyang did not use force, and threw out a faxed document directly from his briefcase, "Well, look, my dear Henry boss! Didn't you say you want evidence? This is evidence!"

"What?" Henry Miller took the document suspiciously, and looked dumbfounded. That turned out to be information about myself and bank lending. And bankruptcy applications.

"Damn, why do you have these things? It's a crime, you know?" Henry was angered.

American business is very strict about the confidentiality of information. Such acts of obtaining private loan materials through improper channels are serious illegal acts and unfair competition behaviors. Political axe will severely crack down on them.

"What about you, Mr. Henry, are you trying to defraud, isn't it a crime?" Yi Feiyang showed no weakness. "If I give this information to the police, I don't know if you can emigrate smoothly, Mr. Henry?"

"Oh damn, what the hell do you want?" Henry looked like a seven-inch snake. He never imagined how his flawless plan could be seen by the other party. And came up with this evidence to stab yourself, damn Chinese!

"It's very simple. I don't care what you are going to do. I want to order this plant, 300,000, and rent it for three years!"

"Impossible! 300,000 rental for three years? 600,000 is already the lowest! Impossible is no longer low! Yes, impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible! You've eaten so much now, but now I just let you spit it out a little bit, otherwise, you stay in the United States, clean your butt and go to the police station to drink coffee, I think the coffee there must be better than here Still bitter, Mr. Henry, I wonder if you are used to it ?! "

"Are you threatening me?"

"Around me, don't say it so badly, we are discussing the problem, and here comes the discussion ... You can refuse, don't you?" Yi Feiyang sat down with a smile.

The next camel master has been chaotic with this dazzling confrontation. What exactly happened here? !! Could it be that Henry is a liar? But it seemed that Ayan was able to hold him back.

Yes, Henry's boss is very cunning. He originally opened the factory in Chinatown and did socks business. The idea was to wait for bankruptcy. The reason is that many of his companies owe a lot of money to the bank and are already insolvent.

Henry's boss's plan is very simple, drill legal Confucius, on the one hand secretly immigrate, ready to live with his wife and children to Canada. On the one hand, those factories and companies that would be confiscated by the bank after the bankruptcy were all sold, and the money was first put into their pockets and waited for them to fly away. Whoever was unlucky did not care about their own affairs.

But now, the Chinese guy Yi Feiyang has dug up his secret and threatened him to let him rent the factory cheaply. Of course, the premise must be that the factory building cannot be confiscated by the bank ... Now, what should I do? !!

Taking a deep breath, as an old capitalist, Henry's boss, who has experienced numerous winds and rains, worked hard to calm himself, then squeezed a smile on his face, and sat down in front of Yi Feiyang again.

"Oh dear, isn't it? How about we make friends? Originally, I had a good relationship with Camel and his elders. We often drank tea and drinks together ... Hehe. How about 500,000? How about you? Just give me 500,000 and I will lease you this damn factory for three years and guarantee that the bank will not confiscate it and will never come to you! I guarantee it in the name of God! "

"Sorry, dear Henry Boss. First, I never believe in God, so I do n't need you to make any guarantee to God and his elderly people. Second, I have only 300,000 on hand, and no one more. Third, I also I really want to make friends with you, but only after you lease the factory to me! "

Yi Feiyang's words made Henry's eyes even more bulging. "Damn! Isn't it really negotiable?"

"Yes, no discussion!" Yi Feiyang nodded with a smile. "But I don't like to force people. You can choose to sign or leave!" Then pushed a prepared document over.

Yi Feiyang's newly formed little lawyer, Louis-Carl, is really excellent, and in just one hour, he made a lease contract that is "very in the interest of Party B". Of course, Yi Feiyang is the "Party B" on the contract.

"Damn, you're ready!" The muscles on Henry's boss's face were twitching. For a man like him who loves money, renting 300,000 for three years, letting him make 300,000 less, let alone say that he must The proposal to take back the factory for bankruptcy, and this will directly affect the millions of dollars he borrowed from the bank. This is a big loss!

But now, as Yi Feiyang said, he has no choice.

For the first time, our dear Henry boss learned a truth: the Chinese are smarter than the damn Jews!

Take a deep breath, "Yi, I need to let my personal lawyer take a closer look at this contract, I hope you can understand ..."

"Of course, I will also send my lawyer friend to go with you. To be honest, I am really anxious and eager to lease this plant ... Well, now it is 11 am on October 7, 1998 25 minutes, um, even if it's 12 o'clock, I hope Mr. Henry, you'd better be able to do this before 3 o'clock this afternoon, and give you a full 3 hours, do you like it, dear Henry- Mr. Miller? "

"At three o'clock this afternoon? Three hours? Oh damn god, this is too urgent, I need time!"

"I know it's difficult, but I really don't have time!" Yi Feiyang smiled, and then took out something and handed it to Henry boss: "I will give you a gift before leaving, I hope you will like it."

"What? Oh damn it!" Henry looked at it, but it was a new American Business Law published in California.

"Hope you can read the contents, especially about the lease contract ... but your laws in the United States are really interesting. The laws in different states are different. Joliet of Illinois stipulates that if a clothing store A woman tries on more than 6 pieces of clothing, the store is illegal, and the woman will be arrested. Alabama law prohibits women from entering the casino. If found, the casino can arrest the woman and search for it. All cash and accessories. Pennsylvania law requires women to ...

Henry boss can't listen anymore. This Chinese is not only cunning, but also insidious! Yes, it's insidious!
