Act 51: No Choice! 】
"Yes! Of course there is!" Not only was Oliver's mouth visible to the naked eye, but the air tail behind him was shaking wildly.
What a pure person!
Doug sighed in his heart, and said, "Oliver Winchester, I can inject funds into your company and provide support for non-rust-free alloys, and I need to turn all of these two into shares."
"Stock?Stock?" Oliver began to hesitate when he heard the word "Stock".
He is a cautious person, and he knows clearly that the transfer of shares represents the transfer of ownership of the company.
During the depression in recent years, he saw too many factories around him, and was invested by so-called investors at extremely low prices, and then drove the founder away.
What's even more terrifying is that many business owners knew there was a pit waiting for them, but they jumped in to break their tail and survive. After entering the pit, they found that they were not their tails, but their body below their necks, leaving only a head.
"No...can't it just a simple loan and technology transfer? I... can owe you money, and it's easy to say how much I owe..." Oliver said.
After hearing him, Doug took back his civilization stick, and his smiley face gradually cooled down, "No. My Mr. Winchester, I think you made a mistake. I am the one with funds and skills, and I can find anyone to cooperate with. And you - no choice.
I chose to cooperate with you. Is it because of these poor factories of yours?
Do you think I'm plotting your factory?
No, don't joke.
Oliver, what I need is a community of interests.
Originally, I thought you really needed investment in front of Black Hawk Bank.
I didn't expect you were just wasting my time.
Bye-Bye."
Doug Clayden turned around and left without a moment of stopping.
Oliver Winchester was stunned.
He didn't expect that he just asked if he could cooperate in another way, which actually led to such consequences.
He looked at Doug's back, his eyes first fell on Doug's civilization stick in his left hand, and looked obsessively for a moment before moving to Doug's wallet in his right hand.
He longs for new technology, he wants his factory to survive, but no matter which of these two goals, he needs the same thing, that is - money.
Oliver exerted force on his toes and leaned forward, trying to call Doug, but what he wanted to say was in his throat.
Slowing.
hesitate.
Doug was walking very fast and was about to disappear from the end of his vision.
"Do... Lord Doug! I... I accept your investment!" Oliver shouted.
Doug stopped in the distance, turned his back to Oliver and smiled apart his mouth, turned his head slightly and said, "Oliver, come with me! I think we can go and sign a contract with my lawyer."
Oliver followed Doug, but became a little worried about gains and losses.
He was wondering...If he had spoken a little later just now, would Mr. Doug in front of him take the initiative to turn back and lower his requirements?
It’s a pity that there was no if in the past.
He was too weak. He was not the only one of the poorly managed weapons factories in the entire New Haven area, so he couldn't afford to gamble.
Jimmy McGill copied the finalized contract.
In the past two hours, he, together with his current boss and another business owner, finalized the details of the investment.
The core content of the contract is that investor Doug Clayden will inject capital into the New Haven Weapons factory with a banknote of one thousand dollars or equivalent value, and provide a non-rust-free alloy formula.
Acquired 50% of the shares of the New Haven Weapons Factory. However, Doug Clayden will not interfere in the daily operations of the New Haven Weapons Factory.
Although the core of the contract is very simple, two very short paragraphs can be described.
But as a professional lawyer, McGill still needs to add a lot of details.
The disclaimer clause for the investor alone has three pages.
Although Oliver Winchester couldn't quite understand the proper nouns on the contract, he still watched it very hard.
During the negotiations just now, Doug pressed forward step by step, and he retreated step by step.
In the end, he received the first issue of 250 US dollars, a total of 1,000 US dollars in cash investment, as well as the technical injection of non-rust alloys.
What he lost was half of the shares of the weapon factory that he saw as important as life.
That is to say...
If he signs the contract, half of his life will be in Doug's hands.
He didn't want to sign, but he had no choice.
"Sign it." Doug, who signed his name, handed him the pen in his hand.
Oliver hesitated and hesitated, finally lifted up his pen and wrote down his name.
When he finished writing his second name, he suddenly thought of something terrible. What if the ingredients of the non-rust alloy in the mouth of Doug are very rare and expensive?
Then...will you be deceived?
However, he felt relieved after thinking for a moment.
Doug is already the only two major shareholder of New Haven Weapons Company. Will this shrewd little boss still cheat him?
McGill checked the four signatures of the two men and confirmed that there was no problem, and then said with a sense of ritual.
“The contract signed by Mr. Doug Clayden and Mr. Oliver Winchester is effective immediately.
As per the contract, Mr. Doug Clayden was asked to hand over the first batch of funds to Mr. Oliver Winchester.
Mr. Winchester, Mr. Doug, has invested funds, and you can only use them for practical purposes in non-rust-free alloy projects.”
Doug also felt very ritually and handed Oliver his hands with his hands full of gold coins.
"Oliver, I can give you the formula for the non-rust alloy. But... I think you can make some of these gadgets for your first batch of experimental products." Doug spread his hands, and a few chess pieces lay in his hand.
Principal Woolsey said he would give some sets of "Monopoly" to someone, saying that it was the most ordinary "Monopoly".
But can it be very ordinary?
Of course not!
Chess pieces made of gold and chess boards made of silver are too vulgar.
But what if you use some cheap materials that are originally very ordinary but have excellent craftsmanship?
It not only highlights the characteristics but does not vulgarity. It perfectly highlights the themes of "Monopoly" and "Prosperity".
Oliver was obviously stunned when he saw the chess piece in Doug's hand, "Did you design this chess piece?"
"Don't call me yourselves, just call me Doug, it was designed by me." Doug nodded.
"Ge... Master Doug, are you Mr. Clayden? I have played your Monopoly. My cousin went to school at Yale and he liked your Monopoly very much.
I always say I want to follow you!"
Doug was slightly stunned when he heard Oliver's words. He did not expect that "Monopoly" really gave him such a great influence.
"My surname is indeed Clayden Oliver. Are you willing to produce these pieces?"
"Will!" Oliver replied. He had completed the change of his mentality from refusing to accept it, and was still a little happy.
Since you can't refuse, why not enjoy it?
Chapter completed!
