Chapter 23 Leather
People always like to do meaningless things when they are bored.

Perhaps subconsciously, to pass the time.

At the dining table, Peyton slowly cut open the steak on the plate as if performing surgery.

Staring at the steak, Payton likes to cut it into various shapes, and after cutting the whole steak into dozens of slices, he eats them all in one go.

This has no meaning at all, except to pass the time, or to satisfy the boring taste in my heart.

Peyton can imitate Mr. Chris, cutting while eating, cutting into large pieces and swallowing in the stomach, not only eating elegantly, but also full of rhythm, very efficient, and looks extremely appetizing.

But he didn't like it.

After a while, all the steaks that were cut into small pieces on the dinner plate were wiped out in one go.

"The taste of the steak is average. I really hope that my mother will come back soon."

Peyton shook his head, put down the knife and fork, slowly took out the napkin, and wiped his mouth.

Mrs. Chris went to Princeton on the East Coast these days to see his sister.

It is said that his sister Mina found a boyfriend, and Mrs. Chris happened to go to see what kind of a good guy?

Therefore, during this time, Peyton and Mr. Chris can only solve their meals by themselves.

Faced with this problem, the two men, one big and one small, all chose to have dinner at the workplace.

The kitchen at home is not the place where they can develop their talents.

The men of the Chris family have no talent for this.

After breakfast, after a while, Peyton picked up today's newspaper from the dining table and began to read it.

This is his habit, through reading, to understand the general situation of this country.

After a while, a piece of news in the newspaper attracted Peyton's attention, and he was familiar with the company mentioned in it.

"The Delos Group was not well managed, and there was a huge deficit, and it went bankrupt and liquidated. The former state congressman Delos committed suicide by jumping off the building."

"The workers' union protested against the Delos Group, which has seriously delayed the wages of the workers and seriously violated the contract..."

"Delos Group's products are seriously unsalable, and the supplier has unilaterally tore up the contract!"

"Newly built hotels in Delos are also reportedly in shutdown..."

Delos Group, a well-known large group in Birmingham, is mainly engaged in basic industries such as simple machinery, leather, and plastics.

It has provided at least [-] jobs for the city of Birmingham, which is considered a giant

10 jobs represent; [-] families, and affect the lives of [-] people.

Now there is a problem with the Delos Group, resulting in the loss of [-] jobs, a large number of people are unemployed, and the economy of the whole city is affected.

It is precisely because of such a big problem that local newspapers rushed to report and dig out the problems.

Payton will be so familiar with this company because the boss of this company made wild words during the election year.

At that time, Mr. Delos publicly stated in the newspapers that he would run for the next governor, but it fell through later.

Payton was still a little confused at first, but now that he saw this report, he realized that he was in danger, let alone running for governor.

"However, the internal market of the product is saturated, and it is seriously unsalable. What about foreign trade?"

In an instant, Payton thought of the foreign trade companies he invested in before, all of which were developing rapidly.

The Japanese economy is recovering, and the foreign trade market has a lot to do!

Thinking in this way, Payton found out all the reports about the Delos Group and gained a better understanding of the company.

After thinking about it, Payton called his financial advisor again and asked him to help investigate the specific situation of the Delos Group.

……

"Huh? Payton? Why are you here? I don't have an assistant job for you here."

In the office, Mr. Chris waved to the assistant next to him to signal him to go out, then turned his head and smiled at Peyton.

Peyton took out the newspaper: "Look!"

Mr. Chris took the newspaper and glanced at it.

"Oh? Delos Group?"

"This matter is well known to everyone, and the Birmingham City Government should also have a headache now. This company has affected the economy of Birmingham City, and a large number of people have lost their jobs."

"This is not good news for the new mayor. If he can't handle this issue well, he will basically not consider re-election."

"What's the matter, do you have an idea? Are you interested in some of these high-quality resources?" Mr. Chris asked.

Payton didn't hide anything, and said, "I want to take over part of this company's business."

"For local investment, I need to expand my influence locally, and the money doesn't have to go out, after all, it's just a line of numbers."

"expand influence?"

Mr. Chris nodded, which is regarded as approval. For politicians, influence is very important.

Today the Federation has several non-human citizens, most of whom are Hollywood animal actors.

These actors have influence enough to generate enough value to become citizens of the Federation.

How amazing!

Federation, this is a fantastic place, as long as you have money and influence, you can turn dogs into humans and enjoy the treatment of humans.

"Then which part do you want? I will help you as a staff member."

"Leather Factory!"

When Mr. Chris heard this, he shook his head immediately: "This is not a good deal. Their leather is very unsalable. They produce mid-to-high-end leather. In this regard, there are already several giants in the Federation, and their products are not sold at all. go out."

Peyton smiled slightly: "But their factory only implemented technological innovation the year before last, and the quality of the leather they produce is very good, isn't it?"

"Yes, the quality is nice, but quality was never the key, they couldn't sell it, that was the key."

"We all know soda isn't healthy, but Coca-Cola has a way of getting kids to love it."

"The white eggs your mother cooks for you are healthy, but your two older brothers never liked them."

"They lack sales, that's the real problem!"

Peyton nodded: "I know they lack sales, which is why they are losing money, but I can find sales."

"Huh?" Mr. Chris expressed doubts.

Payton explained, "Dad, have you paid attention to the foreign trade market in these years?"

Mr. Chris shook his head, "No attention!"

"Now the foreign trade market with Japan is very hot. The market value of the two companies that I invested in in the past two years that trade with Japan has doubled."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chris tentatively asked, "You mean to sell leather to Japan?"

Peyton nodded: "Why not? Federation products have always been a symbol of high-end brands in Japan, not to mention our quality is quite good."

"Since it is subject to the suppression of other big brands in the country, it can just open up sales channels when it is sold abroad."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chris asked, "Have you done your investigation?"

"it is done."

Mr. Chris heard the words and stopped dissuading him.

"Then you get ready, I know that the Birmingham City Government has an internal auction, which will auction some properties of the Delos Group."

"They sent me an invitation letter. I didn't plan to go. Since you have a need, I will accompany you to have a look."

"Of course, if you choose a related industry, you will be responsible for those unemployed people."

"Of course!"
