Jason arrived at the park and began to stroll around before four o'clock.
The park nowadays is different from what it used to be. When he was a child, he had to buy a ticket to enter the park. But now, it's free to enter. During their free time, people usually come to the park to take a walk, smell the flowers, admire the grass, and enjoy the fresh air. The current humanistic spirit is really good. If some commercial housing were built here, the houses would probably be in high demand.
"Hello, sir." Lin spotted Jason, who looked a bit special, at a glance. But he wasn't sure, so he just greeted him first. "Hello, Lin," Jason replied.
"Sir, I didn't expect you to be so young. Your disguise last night was really good. I almost failed to recognize you." Lin was now certain that this was the same man from last night.
"My name is Jason. You can just call me by my name." Jason felt a bit uncomfortable being called "sir" all the time.
"Brother Jason, thank you for what you did yesterday. If it weren't for your help, I really don't know what I would have done." Lin was filled with gratitude and admiration when he thought about how Jason gave him sixty thousand dollars even though they were strangers. This is what a real man is like, not caring about money, regarding it as worthless, and using it to help a stranger.
"It was just a small thing. Don't worry about it," Jason said with a smile to Lin.
"I'll pay you back the sixty thousand as soon as I make some money," Lin said.
"Lin, what did you do before?" Jason asked Lin.
"I used to be a soldier. After retiring from the army, I couldn't find a job, so I worked as a bodyguard for some bosses. After spending a long time on the street, some brothers started to follow me, and I gained some reputation in this line of work." Lin sat down on the grass.
"No wonder you're so good at fighting. You're a veteran," Jason also sat down on the grass.
"You're even better. You took down those guys last night all by yourself, and you were unarmed." Remembering how Jason took down those guys last night as if it was effortless, Lin was amazed. "Brother Jason, have you learned martial arts?" Lin asked curiously.
"I haven't learned martial arts. I just fought haphazardly in a rush." Jason said modestly. Besides, he didn't want Lin to know that he had learned the Shampoo Gong.
"Okay, if you don't want to say, I understand. I know people like you have your own difficulties and don't want others to know," Lin didn't want to make things difficult for Jason.
"Really, you don't have to pay back the money. I won it anyway," Jason said.
"No. Whether you won it or earned it, I must pay you back the money I borrowed," Lin said firmly. He was an upright man and always paid back the money he borrowed.
Jason looked at Lin and realized that he was truly a man of his word. If it were someone else, they would be overjoyed to hear that they didn't have to pay back the money. But Lin insisted on paying it back. He's a good man. I can make friends with him, Jason thought to himself.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Jason's mind.
"Lin, how much money do you and your brothers make in a year as bodyguards?" Jason asked suddenly.
"We don't have jobs every day. We only have work when bosses ask us to accompany them in their cars or provide protection. Usually, we just stay at home or wander around. When there's a lot of work, we might have a job once a week. When there's little work, we might not have a job for a whole month. We don't make much money, just enough for everyone to get by," Lin thought about it. Calculating for a year, he and his brothers didn't have much left after covering food and clothing.
"Well, how about this? You come and work for me. I'll pay you two thousand five hundred dollars a month, and I'll pay each of your other brothers one thousand dollars a month. There will also be bonuses from time to time," Jason said.
"What would we be doing if we work for you?" Lin asked. He wanted to know what Jason wanted them to do.
"Well, on my way here, I passed by the Sky Hotel and noticed it was for rent. I want to rent it. Besides the restaurant, beauty salon, and accommodation it has, I also plan to open another side business - a casino." Jason had already come up with this as his first plan on his way to the park.
"If that's the case, okay, Brother Jason. We'll work for you. But we only know how to work and fight," Lin believed in Jason's character. Just based on the fact that Jason lent him sixty thousand dollars when they were strangers, he should trust him. This was also one of the reasons why he wanted to meet Jason today. Winning over a million dollars in one night was not something an ordinary person could do.
"You'll be in charge of the hotel's security, especially that of the casino. This is just my first plan, and I have other plans later. Step by step. Lin, I believe you're an upright man, that's why I asked you to follow me. You'll be helping me manage numerous things in the future. In other words, you'll be my right - hand man, and you'll be very busy in the future." Jason said, patting Lin on the shoulder.
"Brother Jason, although you're older than me, I think you're my boss now. I'll call you boss and follow you from now on," Lin was touched when he heard Jason had such high regard for him. He patted his chest and said.
"Good. Give me your mobile phone number. By the way, how many brothers do you have that you can trust? I need loyal brothers, not those who only know how to eat and not work," Jason thought this was very important. He didn't want his subordinates to be lazy.
"Boss, don't worry. All my brothers are loyal, but there aren't many of them, only about twenty," Lin felt excited when he thought about these brothers who had been through thick and thin with him.
"That's good. Gather them together tomorrow. The salary is fixed, and there will be separate bonuses. That is to say, I'll take out ten percent of the casino's profits this month as a bonus. Besides, there will be separate bonuses for going out to do other things. So I don't know exactly how much money you'll get. It depends on how much work you do," Jason wrote down Lin's mobile phone number.
"By the way, come with me to the bank later. I'll withdraw a million dollars to rent the Sky Hotel. I'll find a hotel management person as soon as possible to be in charge of the software management. You'll be in charge of the hardware management," This matter was urgent. Jason was going to call his former classmates tonight to see if there were such talents among them.
"Boss, I have a cousin. She studied hotel management in the provincial capital and just graduated this year. I heard that a big hotel in the provincial capital wanted to hire her as a manager, but my aunt has only one daughter and doesn't want her to work so far away," Lin recommended his cousin.
"Then ask her to come and see me tomorrow. If she's qualified, her salary will also be two thousand five hundred dollars a month, with separate bonuses," Although she was Lin's cousin, Jason needed talent, not just anyone.
"Okay. I'll go back and tell her later. She also doesn't want to leave her mother and is eager to find a job nearby. I heard that she won single - subject awards every year during her school years." Lin felt proud when he talked about his cousin whom he had known since she was a child.
"Let's go. Follow me to the bank," Jason pulled Lin up. The most urgent thing now was to rent the hotel. Actually, the Sky Hotel had a very good location and a large surrounding space. It should be a profitable hotel. It was said that the previous owner had poor management skills, which led to poor performance. So Jason wouldn't make the same mistake as the previous owner. Don't think that just because you're the boss, you know how to manage. You should hire some management talents.
