Chapter 235
Sarah Mendes was very excited to see Locke approved of her plan. She pushed Locke to the stairs and told him not to disturb her. She was going to change all the accounts immediately.
Locke went downstairs and went straight to the workshop. His gray Challenger Hellcat had been completely renewed, and all the covers had been replaced.
The front bumper was removed. This thing was originally designed to deal with the black guys in Compton.
Victor Mendes walked over and said, “The triangular nail box and engine oil under the car have been refilled. Old John read the computer data yesterday. All the parameters of this car are at their peak. I plan to drive this car over tonight…”
He will go to the drag racing base in Glendale tonight to promote turbochargers.
Locke shrugged, “No problem, seeing is believing, they are more credible when they see the real thing. By the way, Sarah just told me something, I want to discuss it with you…”
Next to the weedy track, Locke told Victor about Sarah Mendes’ money laundering plan.
Victor Mendes smiled and said, “Sarah is actually very smart. If Edmund hadn’t died suddenly, she might have been admitted to the Ivy League!”
He said, “Of course I support you. I have no problem. But I don’t want Sarah to get into trouble…”
Locke raised his fist to Victor Mendes and promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t let Sarah get into trouble!”
Using Sarah Mendes’s method, the risk will be minimized, but once the IRS audits the accounts, Mendes Repair Shop will definitely not be able to escape, and Sarah Mendes, as the financial manager, will be the first to bear the brunt.
Just because Sarah Mendes always cares about him, he won’t let her get into trouble.
Locke has decided to reduce the amount of money laundering this time. He will stop after laundering a few million and it will be enough to spend.
Victor Mendes raised his fist and bumped it with him, smiling: “I believe you!”
He pointed to the deserted racetrack in front of him and asked: “Locke, do you think I need to repair this track?”
Locke asked curiously: “Why did Edmund want to build such a large racetrack back then?”
For any modified car factory, this is definitely a big deal, even a bit extravagant.
Victor Mendes replied: “Edmund cooperated with many well-known racers back then. Every time these racers came to upgrade the vehicle or discuss technology, they needed to constantly test and debug on the road, so Edmund built a track himself…”
Locke asked again: “Then do you think you can still get in touch with those racers?”
Victor Mendes shook his head and said: “My skills are far inferior to Edmund’s. If you are almost the same!”
“That’s it!”
Locke shrugged and ignored his last sentence directly, knowing that this was his test. His skills had already convinced everyone in the Mendes repair shop.
But how could he come to the repair shop to help!
Locke thought of what Li Bo said when the family talked about Mendes’s repair shop last time, and asked: “Victor, do you want to inherit Edmund’s modified car business, or to carry forward his repair shop?”
The last time they chatted together, Li Bo mentioned that in China, ordinary people are looking forward to demolition.
Because demolition means large monetary compensation, ordinary families can even jump into the rich class through demolition.
Li Bo was very puzzled at the time. This piece of land is worth tens of millions of US dollars. The Mendes brothers and sisters can sell this land and then go there to spend a few million dollars to reopen a modified car factory. There is no need to live so poorly.
Victor Mendes looked confused and asked: “Is there a difference?”
Locke patted his forehead. In his subconscious, he always felt that the Mendes brothers and sisters had a deep affection for the repair shop left by their father, so no matter how much money they offered, they would not sell it, so they would fight with the real estate developer Henry Cavill for several years.
He explained, “If you want to develop Edmund’s repair shop, it’s like this now. However, if you just want to inherit Edmund’s modified car business, then there is no need for you to stick to it. After all, this place is too remote. Locke raised his hand and drew a circle, “You can sell this piece of land. The last time Ham Law Firm investigated the land value, it was 60 million US dollars. You can use this money to open a modified car repair shop anywhere in Los Angeles. Even if it is opened on Sunset Boulevard, it will cost at most a few million US dollars. The remaining money can make you and Sarah become the rich class in Los Angeles. You can live in a mansion, drive a luxury car, and enjoy everything that the rich enjoy…” Victor Mendes listened to Locke’s words and was stunned. He said, “I have never thought about this, and I have never thought about selling this piece of land. Is this really possible?” After he was stunned for a while, his expression suddenly became excited and gaveHe slapped himself, laughing and crying, “Fuck, this is what Edmund meant. He told me to take good care of this land, saying that this land would be my and Sarah’s support in the future. Fuck, I was so stupid. I always thought Edmund wanted me to take good care of his repair shop…”
Reid saw that Victor looked a little strange and wanted to come over to check. Locke stopped him, “Reid, go get Sarah down!”
After a while, Sarah Mendes followed Reid downstairs.
Locke said to Reid, “Let’s go, let’s not disturb them…”
Victor Mendes called Locke, “Locke, don’t leave, Reid…”
Reid curled his lips and shrugged, “Okay, okay, you are a family now…”
Victor Mendes naturally had no time to pay attention to Reid at this time. After he walked away, he said to Sarah with a serious face, “Locke just told me something…”
“This is my decision, it has nothing to do with him…”
Sarah Mendes interrupted him coldly, “Why, you don’t agree? Victor, don’t forget…”
“Fuck, I’m not talking about this, can you listen I’m done!” Victor Mendes cursed and frightened Sarah instantly. Then he repeated Locke’s words and said excitedly: “Sarah, as long as we sell this land, we will become rich, hahaha…” Sarah Mendes frowned and said: “But, didn’t you always say that Edmund wanted us to protect the repair shop?” Victor Mendes was ashamed, “No, I remember very clearly that Edmund was talking about this land. I didn’t realize the difference between the two. Sarah, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. If I wasn’t so stupid, you wouldn’t have to live with me for so many years. If I had sold this land earlier, we would have lived a rich life…” Sarah Mendes was not too excited. She said coldly: “Fortunately you didn’t find out earlier, otherwise, I might have lived a worse life than now!”
