919. Powerful family (3/5)

Compared to Jones, James is the real sports star, a rich star.

The 1.5 million yuan was paid by James, but it was fake that he would not feel sorry for the money. When he wrote the check later, his eyes trembled several times.

This is obviously heartbreaking.

Li Du saw this, but he pretended not to see it. Regarding those sneakers, he had already made enough concessions and could not continue to make concessions.

Friendship belongs to friendship, and business is business. If he regresses a little, he can show his kindness and gain James' friendship. If he regresses too much, it will easily make people feel that he is too weak.

Besides, he had been struggling for several days in order to get these sneakers, and he had a conflict with the local treasure picker in Indiana and paid the price. If he couldn't make money from it, what would he do?

In fact, in this way, he did not make any profit. The warehouse and auction business belonged to him and Hans, and the profits were made by both of them.

Li Du lowered the price to one million and a half million, so that their profit was only 400,000. He decided not to make a profit from it and handed over all the 400,000 to Hans.

This is equivalent to giving up his profit of 400,000 or 500,000 to gain James' friendship.

So, his regression was great enough. If he didn't want to continue regressing, he couldn't let him make up for the money for Hans, right?

James is quite good at being a human being. In addition to giving this money, he also gave Li Du some tickets.

Ten of these tickets are tickets to their Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns game next season, and some are tickets to other Heat games.

The tickets he gave were all very high, including the front row tickets. Such tickets were not available for money, and they were all used by the team or the stars in the family for favors.

So, two cars of sneakers were just delivered to Phoenix and were about to go back on the road.

When they separated, Li Du smiled and said, "Mr. Jones, you should rent a warehouse this time, don't forget to pay the fee."

When Jones mentioned this, he was depressed. He said with a dark face: "Thank you, I will never forget it in my life! Damn, I will continue to sue the Liuma Warehouse Company. I just didn't pay a few hundred yuan in rental fees, and he actually auctioned off my two million yuan!"

Li Du comforted: "In life, it is inevitable to encounter unsatisfactory things. I hope you can win. They did it a bit too much."

Jones said angrily: "I rented that warehouse company at that time because they were related to the team. I know that now I went to the Mavericks and the Horse Walking Team was angry about it, but I was traded away. Damn, I was the victim!"

James patted his shoulder and said, "Let the lawyer communicate, your anger will not help."

He turned around and waved to Li Du, saying, "Goodbye, man, I'm glad to meet you. I hope you can go see our balls. I swear, you'll see a great battle. Next season, we'll punish the entire league!"

In the next two days, Li Du participated in an auction in Phoenix. He was not interested. There was no valuable thing at these auctions, and at most he got some small items.

Hans and the Luguan counted these things, and he sat next to him in boredom and chatted with his classmates.

At this time, Cole called him, and Li Du answered it in wonder and asked, "Harrow, man, what's the matter?"

Cole smiled and said, "Let's check your email address later and send you an invitation to the annual meeting to see if you have time and come to New York."

Li Du said in surprise: "Annual meeting invitation letter? Isn't the annual meeting in January?"

At that time, he was preparing for the New Year in the country. Although he received the notice, he really couldn't attend.

Coledot: "The annual meeting is held twice a year and every six months. This time you'd better come here and introduce you to some shareholders and important customers of our Heyre Winston Group."

Li Du said: "Okay, I usually go, I have nothing to do during this period."

It's time for him to attend an annual meeting, and now he is the top five major shareholder in Winston Group.

Cole said: "Then I'll say welcome in advance. I'll introduce you to a guy. There's a little conflict between you two, of course, it's not a big deal."

Li Du wondered, "Contradiction? Who do I have conflicts?"

Cole laughed: "It's not a big deal, let me keep a little mysterious."

After chatting for a few casual words, Li Du was about to hang up the phone, but then he felt happy and suddenly asked, "Has my friend Steve Tusenberg been invited? I contacted him yesterday, but I didn't hear him talk about this."

Cole said: "Of course, we invited him, how could we ignore the Vanderbilt family? But he didn't know if he would enjoy the glory, and Steve didn't show up outside."

Li Du's goal was achieved, and he heard a keyword, the Vanderbilt family, so Steve's identity was slowly revealed.

Hang up and he asked Hans next to him: "Vanderbilt family, do you know this family?"

Hans smiled and said, "Of course, Americans know that when Forbes selected the 15 richest people in American history in 2007, the founder of this family, Conneils Vanderbilt ranked third, second only to John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie..."

Li Du asked with interest: "Tell me all the news you know."

Hans wondered: "Why are you asking this? Go online and have more information online. I actually only know some basic information. This family is very low-key and is said to be no longer brilliant."

Hearing his words, the wolf brother next to him shook his head.

Li Du noticed and asked in surprise: "Do you know this family?"

Brother Wolf nodded: "Vanderbilt, I have met people from their family. At that time, they visited Munich. The Minister of Finance, the Mayor of Munich and the Members of the Council were accompanied by me. I was a part of the security system at that time."

After hearing what he said, Li Du understood that this family must not have fallen as Hans said, otherwise the German government would not have taken them so seriously.

He also heard of this family, but he only learned a little while watching the news, and only remembered that it seemed like a transportation giant.

Later, he searched for relevant information online, and a huge family without friends emerged.

The person Hans mentioned, Coneyliers Vanderbilt, who is comparable to Carnegie and Rockefeller, is the founder of this family. He was born in Staten Island, New York in 1784.

He is a legendary figure. Because of his poor family, he dropped out of school at the age of 11. At the age of 16, he borrowed 100 yuan from his father to buy a small boat and began to engage in ferry services between Staten Island and Manhattan Island.
