Chapter 34 Acquisition

"That's for sure, but I will buy a property and then renovate it." Link said: "After all, it's impossible for there to be only two of you lawyers and a receptionist. The law firm will then be incorporated into the name of a charity fund."

"It will be run as a normal law firm, but a charity fund will be added every year to provide legal aid to the poor."

"Various procedures will take some time, so for the time being I will purchase it in my private name, and when the charity fund is established, it will be incorporated into it."

Matthew Murdoch asked: "Can it be stated in the contract?"

"Of course, that's for sure. "Link nodded, "You are responsible for drafting a contract, and I will give each of you 5% of the shares. The salary issue will be signed after the contract is signed."

"I will give you 300,000 US dollars for the acquisition price, and inject 1 million US dollars to not dilute your shares."

"After the charity fund is established, the legal affairs of the foundation will be handed over to the law firm. Even if the law firm does not make money, I believe that the salary and commissioned business will not be reduced. "

Fergie Nelson was very happy. With a charity foundation behind them, they have the capital to settle down and no longer have to worry about money.

Drafting a contract also takes time. Link temporarily said goodbye and left. He will bring his girlfriend over in a few days so that both parties can get to know each other.

...

In order to establish the foundation, Link went to Langley again and asked his accounting firm to cooperate with his lawyer. For the time being, Link still used the previous lawyer.

When he returned home in the evening, he told Jessica about the matter. Jessica was very excited. This is a career, not staying at home all day and being a housewife.

She is learning very fast now. She is a very smart woman. She learned from the charity foundation introduced by Tracy and understood its operation. This aspect is not complicated.

Link did not have much funds and the annual income was limited. Taking out 5% for charity was not a big amount of money.

She did not know at this time that Link had plans for Stark Industrial stocks in the future. The scale of funds would definitely increase, but it seemed that the scale of funds was not large now.

It was just a small law firm, so it was not troublesome. She was fully capable of operating it now.

She talked with Link enthusiastically, especially about the review of the funding cases. The limited funds must be used for those who need it most.

…

"Hello, I saw the news about recruitment in the newspaper." Link had signed the acquisition contract and the first acquisition fund had been paid, 300,000 US dollars.

After all, the law firm had no fixed assets and no entrustment contract, and the office facilities here were worthless.

For the subsequent injection of one million US dollars, Link also needed to look at the real estate in Hell's Kitchen and prepare to acquire a small apartment and then renovate it.

The housing prices in America are very peculiar. They are calculated according to the community. Under the overall environment of Hell's Kitchen, the real estate here is extremely cheap.

The property tax is also very low, because there are only poor people here, and the housing prices in the entire area cannot go up. People here do not agree to increase the housing prices, because the increase in housing prices means the increase in property taxes.

Wilson Fisk's acquisition is difficult because the acquisition price is not enough for people here to move to another place to live, and if they move to another place, the property tax may increase.

This property tax must be paid every year, and the price difference ranges from several thousand dollars to ten thousand dollars a year, which is a huge burden.

If Link wants to acquire, he will also encounter this problem, but the location he chooses is on the edge of Hell's Kitchen.

He must consider the problem of future employees. Fergie Nelson grew up here, and Matthew Murdoch wants to be a hero here, so the two of them dare to come.

But what about others?

Therefore, the edge location is the best, not leaving Hell's Kitchen, and it is relatively safe. Otherwise, if an employee works overtime at night, he can't find a taxi to go home, which is troublesome.

It's not that there are no buildings here, but the rent is relatively expensive. It's better to buy a small apartment and renovate it. You should know that this place was originally a gathering place for Irish workers, so the Irish gang was the most powerful in the early days.

The earliest document that can be traced back is in the New York Times in 1881, but a reporter came in under the escort of the police to interview a homicide case.

The name of Hell's Kitchen is too derogatory, and finally the official determined that this place is Clinton District, which is West Midtown.

This place is close to Broadway. Many people who pursue art come to New York. Because they don't have a fixed income, many people also rent houses here because the real estate here is cheap enough.

Wilson Fisk wants to rebuild here, and the resistance can be imagined. People here don't have the ability to pursue a better living environment.

Once this place is completely acquired and rebuilt, the price difference is very huge, and the benefits are tempting.

"Yes, then when can we meet?" Link asked.

"Anytime!" The other party said.

"Then at two o'clock in the afternoon..." Link reported a coffee shop near his home, and the two agreed to meet.

Soon, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Link arrived a few minutes early, found a seat, ordered a cup of coffee, and then took out a cigarette to smoke.

At 2 o'clock, a black man pushed the door open and walked in. He looked around and walked straight to Link's position. "Is that Mr. Lin?"

"Yes, it's me, Mr. McCall?" After Link stood up and shook hands with the other party, both parties sat down. "What would you like to drink?"

"No, we can start the interview directly." The other party did not order anything.

"So how is Mr. McCall's driving experience?" Link asked: "The Rolls-Royce Phantom I ordered will arrive in another month."

"It should be no problem. I have been driving for many years and am familiar with all kinds of vehicles. In addition, I was a soldier when I was young. I have certain fighting skills and can also use firearms." The other party spoke very calmly.

Link nodded slightly and asked again: "Do you have a criminal record?"

"No!" McCall shook his head.

"Very good, give me your ID, I will investigate. In addition, we will set off now. You drive my car first and we will go around." Link stood up and took out the money to press under the coffee cup.

The two walked out and got into Link's car. Link's Mustang was very powerful, but the other party started it very smoothly, and he knew the performance of the vehicle very well.

He was an old hand at first glance. He was driving on the streets of New York, and he understood all the signals and signs and obeyed the traffic rules completely.
