"This car of yours is pretty good. Just the modification alone would have cost 4 million."
Edmund Bederman did not answer the question as he patted the leather seat beneath him. There were very few armored off-road vehicles that could be so comfortable at the same time. However, this' Crusher 'from Norfolk had done it. Apart from that, he could also see that this off-road vehicle looked no different from a civilian armored vehicle. However, there were many weapon systems hidden within. Apart from the three remotely operated cannons at the top, there were even two rows of miniature missiles.
However, such a powerful armored vehicle must have cost a lot.
"You've made me curious, André. How much did Norfolk pay you for the endorsement?"
"Jeffries helped me get 15 million gold duns a year. Together with this car, Norfolk is still suspicious of me. They're only investing for a year to test the waters. They only want the priority to sign the endorsement contract for next year. "
Li Mochen replied casually, "Emm ~ I forgot that you don't know Jeffries. He's the founder and executive director of Elite Navigator."
Bederman could not help but shake his head, his face full of envy, "People like you are really enviable. You have a beautiful face, and you're also very talented. All you have to do is crook your finger, and countless people will put money into your pocket. "
"Mr. Bederman, are you complaining about your low salary?"
Li Mochen laughed, "If that's the case, you can consider joining our Xuri Company. You should know that our company's chief security officer is still vacant. We're waiting for someone worthy. "
"Your Xuri Company? Forget it. Two wars in less than two months. I can't take it. "
Bederman sneered and finally steered the topic back on track, "Speaking of wars, aren't you a little too much of a troublemaker? You've just defeated Antonio, and now you've provoked the Cardiff Group. Mr. Wildenstein, do you know how I feel right now? I was supposed to be chasing Fenrir and her group of scum day and night, but I was suddenly transferred to your side as a guard. You're blaming us for not being able to arrest the demon wolf Fenrir, but I feel like I've been stabbed by someone behind me. Originally, success was in sight, and we were about to catch that guy's tail, but now we have to hand over all the results in our hands to another colleague. This feeling is terrible. "
"Understood!"
Li Mochen nodded with an empathetic look on his face. "If I were you, I would have disobeyed the order. Anyway, nothing big will happen to me. I'm a good citizen. "
"Really?"
Edmund Bederman sneered: "But they are worried that before they find the demon wolf Fenrir, you, a self-proclaimed good citizen, will overturn the city. Do you know, André? You, Andre Lee Wildenstein, are now listed as one of the ten most dangerous people in Atlanta? "
"This is a bit too much, Mr. Bederman. I didn't do anything illegal, did I? Moreover, they were the ones who found trouble with me first. "
Li Mochen shook his head: "My personal principle is that if people don't offend me, I won't offend them. I'm not a person who likes to cause trouble. But — "
"When a new king rises, it's inevitable that there will be war."
Edmund Bederman snorted: "So don't feel wronged. This is your sin, Mr. Wildenstein!"
After that, he put on a blindfold, leaned on the back seat, and fell asleep. He refused to talk to Li Mochen again.
However, Li Mochen's motorcade soon arrived at the office building where Richard Publishing Company was located — the "Landau" Center. As one of the former businesses of the Landau family, Richard Publishing Company also had a place here.
However, after Li Mochen inspected the interior of the company, the first decision he made was to relocate to the building he had recently bought, 22 Anfach Street. This nine-story building built 50 years ago could not only accommodate the former Blood Hand Security Company, but also had enough space for Richard Publishing Company's office.
It could be considered his territory. Not only was there a storage center that was about to be converted into a semi-military base nearby, but it was also next to Blood Hand and Teutonic Crusades. It was very safe.
The key was to save money. Even if he rented an entire floor there, the rent would only be 50,000 a year. And in the "Landau" Center, 500 square meters of space would cost 700,000 gold duns.
"Boss, I don't think this is appropriate. Anfach Street is close to the outskirts of the city. Many of our employees have been working here for the past 30 years. Many of them have built their families around here. "
"If you feel that working is troublesome, you can take the initiative to apply for resignation. I can give you half a year's salary as severance pay. As a boss, I'm generous enough. "
Since he was the sole shareholder, Li Mochen was not polite when he faced the managers of Richard Publishing Company in the conference room.
"Don't try to deceive me, everyone. The land near the center of Landau is extremely expensive, but in Anfach Street, you can easily have your own comfortable property. There are also several good neighborhoods there. So, I really can't think of a reason not to relocate the headquarters. We only have a small newspaper, and the publishing business is in a state of loss all year round, isn't it? "
After the few people in the room looked at each other, they could not help but be speechless.
"As for this printing factory, Mr. Bartram, please find a suitable person to sell it. You should have such connections in the publishing industry, right? I can give you a 10% commission, and the same goes for everyone here, if you can help me in this aspect. "
"But Sir …"
A middle-aged man wearing thick glasses could not help but frown, "If we sell the printing factory, what about our publication printing?"
"We can outsource it."
Li Mochen had a card up his sleeve, "I noticed that this model is relatively common in the publishing industry. As far as I know, there are two printing factories in the east of the city. Their reputation and skills are very good, and their printing equipment is also very new. They can accept our orders. "
Another person raised his hand, "Boss, there might be trouble with the union. They will not agree, and it is very likely that they will ask the city councilors to intervene."
"That's why I asked for your help. I think as long as the factory does not relocate and there are no layoffs, the union at the printing factory should not be able to say anything?"
Li Mochen knew that in the business world of America, organizations like the union had to be cautious and vigilant. It was a cancer in the eyes of all the capitalists.
However, there were less than 16 workers in the printing factory, so Li Mochen did not really care about them. Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not choose to directly shut down the factory and sell off the equipment.
"I am very dissatisfied with the expenditure on office supplies. This aspect needs the operations department to strengthen the management. My request is to save at least 100,000 gold duns a year. "
"Then the staff of the company —"
Li Mochen hesitated for a moment before he made up his mind, "I hope to retain all the backbone of the company, lay off 12 people, and increase the salary by 10%."
When he said "lay off", several of the executives in the room put their hands into their pockets at the same time, but when Li Mochen said the word "increase", these people all had strange expressions on their faces.
However, there were still two people who stood up and placed their resignation letters in front of him, "We are very sorry, boss, we may not be able to serve you anymore."
