Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Croft did not expect that an article he posted casually would become a hot topic.

In just a dozen hours, this topic already had thousands of replies and tens of thousands of reposts.

Crawford didn't expect it, but Denver didn't expect it either.

Because the topic initiated by his propaganda department through the navy did not have the desired effect, and then it was lost to the public. Even Xiyuan Beer was not aware of the topic.

Instead, it was another topic that became popular out of nowhere.

It seems that everyone is participating in the topic of more applications for Dashan Beer.

This topic actually spawned a second topic.

That is to use beer to make beer duck. There is a netizen who uses various brands of beer to make beer duck.

All the steps, ingredients, and ingredients are exactly the same, the only difference is the beer brand.

After completing the preparation of more than a dozen portions of beer duck, we began to eat them separately and then gave different scores.

I don’t know why, but Dashan beer has become a condiment in people’s mouths.

Of course, Denver doesn't care about this. No matter what becomes of Dashan Beer, as long as sales increase.

Especially after Denver got the sales report of the past few days, Denver became even more happy.

In recent days, the sales volume of Dashan Beer has also been gradually increasing.

The current sales volume is stable at about 150,000 cans per day.

Judging from the high initial investment, the daily sales of 150,000 cans are already profitable.

Of course, you still need to maintain this sales volume.

…

Chen Zhao has been receiving reports from Denver every day these days.

The reason why Denver reports sales so diligently is not only to take credit, but also to give Chen Zhao peace of mind.

After all, no investor can last long if he loses money every day.

Even charity now pays attention to long-term stability, let alone business investment.

Chen Zhao heard that he could no longer lose money and felt much more relaxed.

Let’s not talk about making money or not. The first thing is to be able to avoid losing money.

Many new businesses today actually have potential.

However, few companies can survive the early stages of entrepreneurship.

Just because the supply of funds cannot be maintained.

Once the capital chain is broken, the only options are financing or loans.

But when it comes to loans, banks need to observe its prospects. If the bank is not optimistic about the loan, then the bank will definitely not make a loss-making transaction.

Investors must be more demanding. Investors not only look at investment progress, but also the rate of return.

And not every investor’s needs are the same.

Some investors want to wait for the listing and then exit after making a profit.

What some investors want is stable and sustainable profits. What they want is fixed assets and a certain degree of power to intervene and influence the company's decision-making.

The brewery invested by Chen Zhao can now get out of the haze of early losses on its own and start to make a certain profit.

This already illustrates the success of Chen Zhao's investment.

Maybe Chen Zhao is not an excellent businessman, let alone an excellent manager, but Chen Zhao's investment has paid off, and that is enough.

Now, whether Chen Zhao wants to attract external financing or find a bank loan, he has enough confidence and voice.

What is a high-quality industry? An industry with stable appreciation is called a high-quality industry.

A fixed asset that can make sustained and stable profits is an excellent industry.

Take Marina Restaurant for example, this is an excellent industry.

Now 30% of the shares of Marina Restaurant are in the hands of banks, and Chen Zhao has negotiated with banks through Andrews several times before.

Banks are unwilling to give up this 30% stake. Of course, banks are not willing to give up their shares, but they are not willing to operate the restaurant at all.

The bank just wants to hold shares and does not intend to disrupt the normal operation of Marina Restaurant.

Of course, the price given by Chen Zhao is not high, it is only 10% more than the valuation of Marina Restaurant.

If Chen Zhao is willing to bleed a lot, the bank will definitely let him go.

But Chen Zhao was unwilling.

Slums existed in many of America's major cities.

The more prosperous the city, the more slums there are.

The same goes for Los Angeles, which is home to the largest ghetto on the West Coast, the Antwerp neighborhood.

Just like the world's perception of slums, dirty and messy can basically describe the impression given by the Unterste community.

The architectural style of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as poor community planning, have filled themselves with intolerable odors.

There are criminals roaming the streets, and there is a McDonald's here, but the McDonald's cashier here is equipped with bulletproof glass.

More than 60% of the residents here have criminal records, 20% of which are serious crimes.

Sports stars and film and television stars have also emerged here, but they are not willing to admit that they are from the Antester community.

Because when people talk about this place, the first thing that comes to mind is criminals.

Liamson was a drug addict who relied on theft, robbery and extortion to make a living.

Liamson hadn't eaten in almost two days, but he had his sights set on a target.

The man must have just returned from shopping, carrying food and a case of beer.

Liamson looked around. There were not many people on the street at this time.

Liamson rushed forward, strangled the man's neck, and stabbed the man's waist with a dagger.

"Dude, hand over the money or I'll kill you."

"Don't hurt me...I have no money."

The man was so frightened that he quickly took out his wallet.

Liamson grabbed the man's wallet and took a look, with a look of disappointment on his face. There were only a few dollars in it.

"Where's the credit card? Give me your credit card."

"I don't have a credit card. I've already been a broken person...I don't have the money to repay."

Liamson wiped his nose, feeling his addiction coming back.

Liamson glanced at the man, snatched the food and beer from his arms and disappeared into the dark alley.

Hurrying back to his hometown, Liamson felt worse and worse.

He was no stranger to this state, and his drug addiction had taken hold.

Liamson hurriedly opened the drawer. The tranquilizer was gone...the tranquilizer was gone too.

He felt himself in more and more pain.

Liamson suddenly saw beer and got himself drunk, maybe this way he could survive this drug addiction.

Hey, this beer tastes good. I have rarely touched alcoholic drinks since I started taking drugs.

But at this moment, Liamson felt that the beer seemed good. For a while, Liamson also forgot about his drug addiction, and actually drank one can after another.

Until he was drunk, Liamson had never slept so peacefully.

When Liamson woke up the next day, he found himself very energetic, which was something he had never felt before.

Even the air becomes fresh and natural.
