Rise of an Empire

Looking at the information Thrawn had just sent, Conrad rubbed his temples quite speechlessly.

There are still too few talents at his disposal. Although Thrawn is definitely a good player in attacking fortified areas, it is really too much to ask him to be responsible for intelligence collection.

Fred was actually seriously insolvent and bankrupt last month, and it was only this month that Thrawn collected intelligence about the rebellion.

Although he didn't pay attention at all because this guy was not an important character, it also reflected the lack of his own intelligence system to a certain extent.

Just like in Los Angeles the year before last, if I knew that Magneto and Charles were two good friends, then I would definitely stagger the time and try to avoid meeting each other, right?

It's just that these days, it's not that easy to find a good intelligence manager.

The agent could still make do, but if the intelligence chief wasn't the person he trusted most, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

In terms of trust, besides Gudrun, Thrawn is the most trustworthy. Even Ito Ichijo and the White Queen, Conrad does not have 100% trust in either of them.

There is no other way. He is in a high position and has to keep one eye open even when sleeping. Cao Ahao's classmate guarded himself day and night, so he still missed the horse.

Black Widow's intelligence gathering ability can definitely surpass Thrawn by several dimensions, but the problem is, even if that woman volunteers herself, will he dare to use it?

Shaking his head to get rid of all the messy thoughts, he took his time with the intelligence director. It would be better to take it slow than to get false information.

"Mr. Fred, according to my latest report, you now owe a foreign debt of 1.34 million US dollars. If you can't get the money when the bill is collected next month, you will probably be sued by the court immediately. Declared bankrupt." Conrad pushed down the document Thrawn had just handed over and knocked on the table.

"Your Majesty the Duke, although I am bankrupt, I still have contacts and connections. As long as you are willing to sell some of your properties to me, I can immediately use those properties for loans, and you will never lose a penny." Fred His face changed, first turning pale and then turning livid. Finally, after more than ten seconds of stalemate, he regained his composure.

"That is to say, I will give you the house first, you will use my house for a loan, and then give me the money. Mr. Fred has a good plan." Conrad smiled, this old boy is really A master with nothing to lose, no wonder he was able to earn tens of millions of dollars at the age of forty

Cold sweat continued to break out on Fred's forehead. Even though he had been in the mall for decades, he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.

How can I still play this when someone has found out my true identity?

As long as Conrad drives him out, he will really have no choice but to commit suicide by jumping off the building next month.

"Your Majesty Duke, I really do." Fred didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't have any trump card at all, so how could he talk to others?

"Mr. Fred, although I am very angry about your dishonesty, from the perspective of a successful businessman, you have indeed done well." Looking at the frightened father and son in front of him, Conrad smiled. said.

"What do you mean, Duke?" Fred asked quickly and cautiously.

"Well, I need a professional manager now, and you, Fred, are exactly what I want." Conrad started to lie with his talk full of lies.

To be honest, if this guy wasn't the father of the King of Shu, he would have died.

But now

Call it obsession or inner demon, he has already made an internal decision about the little girl who will not be born for more than ten years.

This is an inner demon that cannot be changed.

Besides, Fred and King Shu are both good at doing business, and they will never lose money on his assets.

It is indeed quite depressing for Fred to change from a big boss of independent capital to a wage earner working for others, but the current situation is better than others. If he doesn't want his whole family to be thrown onto the road next month, Just accept Conrad's conditions.

After signing a series of complex and complicated contracts and agreements with Fred, it took three days to finally complete all the procedures.

The person currently in charge of all Conrad's legal affairs is an old lawyer named Fellman. It is said that he is also a senior director of the Pan American Bar Association. He is absolutely useless in terms of business.

It's just that his character is a bit weird. The old guy always likes to give Conrad some suggestions that he thinks are correct, which makes the Duke dislike him very much.

However, considering that the other party’s connections and business capabilities are indeed pretty good, this minor problem can still be put aside for now.

"Your Majesty, are you going to sell these properties now?" After signing the contract, Fred has become a professional manager under Conrad. Although it is impossible to hold a retainer enfeoffment ceremony like in the Middle Ages, But from now on, the future and destiny of the entire Golden Hyatt family is almost tied to Conrad's boat.

"Yes, I want to cash it all in." Conrad leaned on the sofa and let Gudrun sit next to him and polish his fingernails carefully, while Tina knelt down and pinched his feet, looking rotten and depraved. The appearance of a great nobleman.

Fred turned a blind eye to Conrad's wealthy scene and pointed directly at the projection screen on the wall.

"With all due respect, it is almost impossible to realize such a large amount of real estate in a short period of time."

Fred pulled up a report and began to introduce it to Conrad in detail.

"In other words, if I want to sell all my properties now, no one can take over, right?" After listening to the other party's long speech, Conrad waved his hand and said.

"Yes, although there are currently close to 120,000 people in Manhattan who want to buy a house, only one-twentieth of them can afford it. Your Lord Duke's properties are far beyond the limit of purchasing power." Now. There are indeed a lot of people who are eager to buy a house, but how can Americans afford thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in cash?

Do you think this is India or some unspeakable place?

"We can get a thirty-year home loan." Conrad smiled contemptuously. In his previous life, he was almost tricked to death by that cheating thirty-year home loan. Now, it's his turn to take revenge on society.

"What thirty-year loan?" Fred was a little confused and didn't understand what Conrad was talking about.

Historically, the housing loan thing was only invented by Hong Kong’s ruthless capitalists more than ten years ago. This model does not yet exist in the world.

But well

The Duke thinks that he should be able to let the American people enjoy the most advanced social system more than ten years earlier, right?
