Luke was surprised to hear that, and then understood. "That's right, they've caught up with this wave of reconstruction!"
There had been so many major events in New York recently, and there were houses everywhere that needed to be renovated.
Although it was impossible for a home improvement company to receive a big order, a single family business alone was enough for this small company.
Knowing that Luke understood, Foggy said, "Yes. It's all thanks to Ben, who's meticulous and reliable. Although the company has almost doubled in size, it's basically operating normally, and its profits have already exceeded my initial estimate of 230%. "
Luke shrugged. "Then I should reward him with shares this year."
Foggy confirmed that. "That's true. If he still can't get shares, those old foremen who do will cause problems sooner or later. "
"Okay, Ben has done a good job, but let's get down to business." At that point, he slapped his forehead. "When he was recruiting workers in our community a few days ago, he mentioned that the home improvement company's transportation business can no longer keep up with demand."
Luke immediately understood.
The renovation workers in the home improvement company were experienced and professional.
After a year of teaching the new, the first batch of kids could be considered half qualified renovation workers. It wasn't a big problem for them to quickly add new people now.
But a year ago, Charlie and Raqael had brought a few temporary workers to transport the materials, and there was no fixed procedure at all.
The company was small, so it was very flexible and cost-effective.
But a renovation team of more than a hundred people, faced with the inexhaustible work in New York, the demand for materials would skyrocket.
If they did it like before, there might be a big problem.
Luke thought for a moment. "Are you saying that we should give the material transportation business to Adrian?"
Foggy nodded, then shook his head. "If you're just going to help out casually, that's fine. But considering the development of the home improvement company in the last year or two, buying a transportation company isn't a bad choice. "
Luke was stumped. "Buy?"
Foggy said, "Yes. It's best if it's an acquisition or a controlling stake. After all, it's good for the home improvement company to control a stable transportation company. "
At that point, he coughed awkwardly. "The prerequisite is that you have enough money to buy Adrian's company. Given his current situation, he probably won't refuse. "
Luke rolled his eyes. As long as Adrian wasn't an idiot, he would immediately sell the company, even if it was just to recoup his losses.
Even if the transportation company had solved its financial predicament, the chance of rapid development was much smaller.
Everyone in the engineering industry knew that long-term, fixed contracts were the most profitable.
Just once, he could turn the boss of a small company into a millionaire or even a millionaire.
Odd jobs were much harder, and they had to bear the risk of not being able to make ends meet at any time.
But was Luke in need of money?
Adrian and his team had only invested a few hundred thousand to purchase the construction machinery.
Of course, Foggy knew that Luke was rich, and definitely more than that.
It was impossible for a junior detective's salary to order so much high-end meat and seafood from Guitar Guitar's father's butcher shop.
This was obviously taking care of his father's business for his sake.
Foggy was very grateful to Luke, and even specifically told his father not to mention it outside.
Now that he found a good opportunity, he couldn't help but mention it.
That wasn't to say how much money Luke would make from this company, even if it was definitely going to be profitable.
More importantly, the home improvement company involved seventy to eighty Clinton residents, most of whom were young people who were willing to embark on the right path.
If the home improvement company could continue to prosper, those young people would be able to change their futures and support their mothers who had raised them.
At the very least … they wouldn't have to go home and steal their secret stash of money!
Rubbing his chin, Luke quickly made up his mind. "We can do it. But you have to help me. I don't have that much time to work on a contract. "
Foggy exclaimed and pointed at his nose. "Me again?"
Luke glanced at him. "Should I tell Matt to take over now? Or should I give it to the two interns at your firm? "
Foggy thought for a moment, then nodded. "I'll do it."
This deal involved hundreds of thousands of dollars. He definitely couldn't give it to the two interns, and that would be too disrespectful to Luke.
Give it to Matt … Forget it! This guy seems to have more things to do than me, and is often so busy that I can't see him. I really don't know how a blind man can take on so much work! A partner complained inwardly.
Luke was very satisfied. There wouldn't be a problem if he left it to Foggy.
This young lawyer didn't take dirty money or mess around. He was serious and meticulous, a little similar to his uncle. No wonder they got along so well.
Foggy confirmed a few basic points of investment with Luke, and was confident.
They walked back, and Luke spoke again. However, he only said that he could find someone to invest in Adrian's company.
Then, Foggy explained several investment plans that could be used for financing or acquisition.
At the same time, there were some supplementary terms to ensure that Adrian and Foggy wouldn't suffer a loss in this deal.
Foggy's explanation was easy to understand, and Adrian was stunned. Are you sure you're not doing a good deed?
He then got the gist of it and looked at Luke. "Well … isn't that a little embarrassing?"
Luke waved his hand. "It's a win-win at most. Foggy and I are worried about this because we want to help more people get a stable job. If you choose to sell it directly, you won't make much money. "
At that point, he got up. "Talk to Foggy about this. You can go back and think about it for a few days. You don't have to make a decision right away. I still have things to do, so I won't take up any more of your time. "
Adrian stood up and shook hands with him. "Thank you, Luke."
Luke smiled and patted him on the arm. He asked casually, "Oh, right, you mentioned last time that you're an electronics engineer?"
Adrian was a little lost. "Yes, I've been doing this for almost ten years."
Luke asked, "How's your skill?"
Adrian said, "Uh, it's alright … I guess?" He looked at Luke uncertainly.
Luke nodded. "Then you can consider training some electricians in the future. The home improvement company will definitely welcome them."
Adrian didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he watched Luke leave. He turned to Foggy and asked, "Do you think so too?"
Looking at his expression, Foggy asked tentatively, "Don't tell me what you do has nothing to do with electricians?"
Adrian opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain it to him.
Although they both carried "electricity," the difference between the two was like the difference between a vacuum cleaner and a vacuum tube, or between soy milk and soy milk.
What was even more frustrating was that he and his old buddies really could train electricians.
They usually repaired their own appliances and switches at home, and weren't any worse than an average electrician.
