Marvel: Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 34 Acquisition
"That's for sure, but I will buy a property and then renovate it." Link said, "After all, it's impossible for there to be only two of you lawyers and a receptionist. The law firm will then be put under the name of a charity fund."

"We run our business as a normal law firm, but we receive a charitable fund every year to provide legal aid to the poor."

"The various procedures will take some time, so for now I will make the purchase in my personal name, and then include it in the charity fund after it is established."

Matthew Murdoch asked: "Can it be stated in the contract?"

"Of course, that's for sure." Link nodded, "You guys will be responsible for drafting a contract, and I'll give each of you 5% of the shares. The salary issue will be discussed after the contract is signed."

"I will pay $300,000 for the acquisition and inject $1 million into the company without diluting your shares."

"After the charity fund is established, the legal affairs of the foundation will be handed over to the law firm. Even if the law firm does not make money, I believe that you two will not lose any salary and commissions."

Fergie Nelson was very happy. With a charitable foundation behind them, they had the capital to make a living and no longer had to worry about money.

Drafting a contract also takes time, so Link took his leave temporarily and will bring his girlfriend over in a few days so that both parties can get to know each other.

……

In order to set up the foundation, Link went to Langley again and asked his accounting firm to cooperate with his lawyer. For the time being, Link still used the previous lawyer.

When I got home in the evening, I told Jessica about everything. Jessica was very excited. This was a career instead of staying at home all day and being a housewife.

She is learning very quickly now. She is a very smart woman. She studied at the charity foundation introduced by Tracy and understood its operation, which is actually not complicated.

Link doesn't have much money, and his annual income is also limited. Taking out 5% for charity actually doesn't really mean much in terms of funds.

She didn't know at this time that Link had plans for Stark Industries stock in the future, and the scale of funds would definitely increase, but it did not seem to be large at the moment.

It was just a small law firm, so there was no trouble and she was fully capable of running it now.

She and Link had an enthusiastic conversation, especially about the review of funding cases, and the need to use limited funds on those who needed them most.

……

"Hello, I saw the recruitment news in the newspaper." Link has signed the acquisition contract and the first installment of the acquisition funds has been paid, US$300,000.

After all, the law firm has no fixed assets or entrustment contracts, and the office facilities here are worthless.

With the subsequent investment of one million US dollars, Link also needs to look at the real estate in Hell's Kitchen and prepare to acquire a small apartment and then renovate it.

The housing prices in the United States are very peculiar. They are calculated based on the community. Under the overall environment of Hell's Kitchen, the real estate here is extremely cheap.

The property tax is also very low because the people here are all poor and the housing prices in the entire area cannot go up. The people here also do not agree with the increase in housing prices because an increase in housing prices means an increase in property taxes.

The difficulty in Wilson Fisker's acquisition lies in this: the acquisition price is not enough for the people here to move to another place, and if they move to another place, the property tax may increase.

This property tax has to be paid every year, and the annual difference ranges from several thousand US dollars to ten thousand US dollars, which is a huge burden.

If Link wants to acquire the restaurant, he will also encounter this problem, but the location he chose is on the edge of Hell's Kitchen. He must consider the issue of future employees. Foggy Nelson grew up here, and Matthew Murdoch wants to be a hero here, so the two of them dare to come.

But what about everyone else?

Therefore, the best location is at the edge of Hell's Kitchen, which is close to Hell's Kitchen and relatively safe. Otherwise, if employees work overtime at night and cannot find a taxi to go home, that would be a problem.

It's not that there are no big buildings here, but the rent is relatively too expensive. It would be better to buy a small apartment and renovate it. You have to know that this was originally a gathering place for Irish workers, so the Irish gangs were the most powerful in the early days.

The earliest document that can be traced back to the New York Times in 1881 was a reporter who came in under police escort to cover a homicide case.

However, the name Hell's Kitchen was too derogatory, so the official name was finally determined to be the Clinton District, which is West Midtown.

This place is close to Broadway, and many people who pursue art come to New York. Since they don’t have a fixed income, many people also rent houses here because the real estate here is cheap enough.

Wilson Fisk wants to rebuild this place, but the resistance he will face is understandable, as the people here do not have the ability to pursue a better living environment.

Once this place is completely acquired and rebuilt, the price difference will be huge and the benefits will be tempting.

"Yes, so when can we meet?" Link asked.

"Anytime!" the other party said.

"Then at 2pm in the afternoon..." Link suggested a coffee shop near his home, and the two agreed to meet.

Soon, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Link arrived a few minutes early, found a seat, ordered a cup of coffee, and then took out a cigarette to smoke.

At two o'clock on the dot, a black man pushed the door open and walked in. He looked around and walked straight to Link's position. "Is this Mr. Lin?"

"Yes, it's me, Mr. McCall?" Link stood up and shook hands with the other party. Then they sat down. "What would you like to drink?"

"No need, we can start the interview directly." The other party did not order anything.

"So how was Mr. McCall's driving experience?" Link asked. "The Rolls-Royce Phantom I ordered will arrive in a month."

"It shouldn't be a problem. I've been driving for many years and am familiar with all kinds of vehicles. Also, I was a soldier when I was young. I have certain fighting abilities and can use firearms." The other party spoke very calmly.

Link nodded slightly and asked again, "Do you have a criminal record?"

"No!" McCall shook his head.

"Very good, give me your ID and I'll check it out. Also, let's set off now. You drive my car first and we'll take a ride around." Link stood up and took out the money to put under the coffee cup.

The two men walked out and got into Link's car. Link's Mustang was very powerful, but the other party started it very smoothly, and he knew the performance of the vehicle very well.

It's obvious that he's a veteran as he drives around the streets of New York. He understands all the signals and signs and obeys all traffic rules.
