Cosma Empire

Joshua suddenly opened his eyes in a daze, and he felt an air caressing his cheek. He has no experience living by the sea, so the sea breeze with a fishy smell makes him feel a little uncomfortable. The damp air and the salty smell in the air do not exist in the imperial capital of the empire. The imperial capital is dry all year round, but in terms of living environment, he feels much more comfortable than living here.

He rubbed his eyes, the light was already on outside the window, the room was pitch black, one window seemed to be not closed tightly, there was a gap leaking, and the gauze curtain was dancing gently with the wind. He breathed a sigh of relief. He slept very comfortably this time. He walked to the window with bare feet, and when he heard footsteps, he took a look. walk past his door.

The reason why I bought this set of villas worth 180,000 star yuan in Florigus, which is about 600,000 yuan in federal currency, is that it is close to the sea and can quickly leave by boat when necessary. security measures here. It is not without reason that the Tianpingshan villa area is known as the most strictly managed wealthy area. There will be a routine patrol every ten minutes. Any owner only needs to press the red button that is often seen in the villa, and the security guard will be able to arrive at the villa within three minutes.

It has been six years since the construction of the Tianpingshan villa area was completed, and there has not been any negative news. This is where the value of 180,000 star yuan lies!

He retracted his head with a smile, closed the window tightly, and turned on the light.

The villa is neither too big nor too small, with a total of more than 800 square meters on the upper and lower floors. There is also an independent yard and swimming pool, and there is a court behind the house. Although the house price was a bit high, Joshua felt it was a good deal.

He needed to take a shower now, so he took off all his clothes and walked into the bathroom on the first floor. The 24-hour hot water provided him with no need to worry about waiting for a bath at this time. He was soon soaked in the warm water, his whole body was completely relaxed, and he was thinking about how he should enjoy the present life in the future. Don't people take great risks to do something just to get enough rewards?

Perhaps he should find a mistress for the villa, or perhaps two, if they could get along well.

Joshua, who fantasized about a wonderful life in the future, soon became sleepy. When he was about to get up from the bathtub, he vaguely saw another shadow reflected on the mirror of the glass bathroom facing him. He became terrified in an instant, struggling to get up from the bathtub, but this kind of bathtub, which adopts the latest technology and coated with a special shell, is not as easy to use as he imagined. At least he needs to use his hands hard to stand up, and The bathtub is very slippery.

A thin steel cable strangled his neck and lifted him up forcefully. In the panic, he lost his composure and frantically buckled the steel cable to take a breath of fresh air. Just as his consciousness gradually blurred At that time, I heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Durin asked me to tell you,

You are too close! "

After Joshua remained motionless, Ellis breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped on the mirror-like floor in his muddy leather shoes and walked to the bar. He opened a bottle of red wine of unknown brand, opened the storage cabinet, took out a basin of fresh fruit, hummed a little tune and ate it.

It wasn't until the third day that the villa's cleaning staff came here to clean the house for a living, that they smelled a foul smell outside the house, and then she called the police.

A homicide case in a rich area immediately aroused the close attention of the local police station. Whether in the empire or the Federation, all things related to the rich are not small things. Soon they figured out Joshua's identity, and then they chose to hide the truth of the matter. If they told people that there was a murder in the Tianpingshan villa area, these wealthy people might leave here, or even leave the city.

The rich people who can live here are not as simple as being rich. Maybe a few people are just rich, but more people are not only rich, but also have status and power.

So they made up a lie that the new resident came from a backward empire, because he wanted to stand up during the bath, but because the bathtub was too slippery, he accidentally fell and hit his head Soaked to death in the bathtub, all of this was an accident. Whether people believe this answer or not, the management company of the Tianpingshan villa area soon took the bathtub manufacturer to court and replaced the bathtubs for all residents...

Ellis has already boarded the cruise ship back to Illian with the "briefcase" not found in the federal records. He may not understand what is going on in Illian at this time.

The delegation of the George family has already started the second round of negotiations with Juan. The core of the negotiations revolves around how much power the two parties occupy. Juan's request is no less than 30%, but the George family believes that the theaters and properties in Juan's hands can only give him 8% of the power at most. If there is a disagreement, there will be no agreement. Juan can even feel that the George family may not really want to cooperate with them. This time their so-called negotiation is more like a "finding out" about the resources in his hands.

Yes, that’s the feeling. They kept asking Juan to show and record the movie theater-related materials and operating conditions in his hands. This made Juan feel a little flustered, because this was different from what Du Lin told him at first. Too much the same! Fortunately, he had a fatal piece of news about the George family. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't show it. In such a quarrel, the delegation of the George family proposed another method. Instead of establishing a unified company, they each operated their own companies to form a kind of alliance.

Any important matter must be decided by the council before it can be implemented, and the staff of the council has five directors and twelve directors. Among them, Juan can serve as the chairman of the board, but Luke and that farm couple can only serve as directors. The meeting is conducted by voting. The director has one vote, and the chairman has two votes. When the three directors jointly sign veto power!

It is impossible for Juan to agree to such a proposal. If he does so, he will not even have the 8% power, so the negotiation has reached a deadlock, and the two parties broke up unhappy.

Negotiations are actually like this, seeking common ground while reserving differences as much as possible, which is why often an important business negotiation may last for a week or even a month, and too many things need to be "coordinated".

After a negotiating meeting that broke up, Juan and Luke left the hotel in the same car. Luke got into the car with some worries on his face. As a result everyone agreed with, the delegation of the George family felt to him not only being strong and aggressive, but also an indescribable taste, like...not wanting to cooperate.

"Juan, do you think we can succeed?"

Facing Luke's question full of worries, Juan was very confident, "Of course, we will succeed!" He seemed to think that this was not convincing enough, and explained the source of his confidence, "You may not It is too clear that a company called DreamWorks announced some time ago that it would block the layout of the George family in the field of theaters, and it came up with a feasible plan and successfully absorbed a lot of funds."

"Once this dream factory starts to speed up its construction, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the George family. They have already invested a lot of money in the early stage. If they can't complete the scheduled goals, those people headed by Arthur George may It’s going to be bad luck. So as long as we can stick to the bottom line and bite the bullet and never back down, it won’t be long before they will take the initiative to compromise.”

Since Juan wants to cooperate with the George family, he must collect information and intelligence about the George family, and at the same time have a certain understanding of their possible opponents. If the investment in the early stage made Juan unable to retreat, then the appearance of this DreamWorks company pointed him in the right direction. This company has received a large amount of investment through the issuance of shares. It is said that there are tens of millions, which is enough to pose a huge threat to the George family!

If they can't complete their strategic goals before DreamWorks completes their industry layout, then the George family's plan this time will be a complete failure. Those people, like Juan, have no way out, and the only question now is who can last longer at the negotiating table!

Hearing Juan's explanation like this, Luke finally let go of his heart, and at the same time, he also had a grudge against Juan deep in his heart. He didn't tell himself such important news and concealed it. This is a kind of betrayal of his trust. It's just that now he is in a weak position and dare not show any behavior of not returning. He is waiting until the dust settles.

The ensuing negotiations fell into an endless tug-of-war. The two sides tried their best to fight for more power for themselves based on two digits after the decimal point. Just when Juan thought the dawn of victory was coming, an accident happened. up.

In the morning, he drove Luke to the conference hall of the hotel and planned to spend the day, but the moment he stepped into the conference hall, he immediately noticed something unusual in the atmosphere. The eyes of those members of the delegation had lost the solemnity of the previous days, and there was an emotional color that made him a little annoyed.

He sat in his seat calmly, and just about to initiate an issue, the legal advisor of the George family stood up.
