Chapter 8

• I go to the bank.
• -Good morning, I would like to speak to Mr. Maximo.
• -Do you have an appointment with Mr. Maximo?
• -I really forgot to notify him of my visit.
• -Let me see if he can see him.
• She picks up the phone, I didn't hear what she said and hangs up:
• -I went to the VIP room, he will be happy to see you, but he is finishing with another client, if you like I can offer you a tea or a coffee.
• -That way I am fine. Thank you.
• I go straight to the VIP room and wait on a sofa, 20 minutes passed until Máximo attended me.
• -Sorry for the delay.
• -Don't worry, don't worry.
• -What can we help you with.
• -I am hiring personnel and I need to have a means of payment, besides I need to give access to my money to another person who will manage all this.
• -I recommend opening a company account, but for that you must register and have the required documentation from the bank, this way you can provide a payment card to each of your staff. An own fund is assigned and this is the one that this person would have access to, this is done as a security in case a fraud is made and they want to take all your money.
• -And what should I do to register the company?
• -You should see a lawyer, I can recommend one if you wish.
• I wanted to take his recommendation, but I preferred not to, he must be a lawyer who earns quite well and I don't want that.
• -Thank you for your help, but I will look into it myself.
• -Anything else we can help you with?
• -I think that's all.
• -That's fine Mr. Santos, we hope you visit us soon, here you have all the requirements, this section about the origin of the funds can be omitted, just register the company and bring us the documentation.
• -Thank you for everything, I leave.
• I leave the bank and call Isabel.
• -Hi Isabel, are you home already?
• -Hi Javier, what am I supposed to do in a mansion like this?
• -I told you to ask where and that's what you asked for.
• -I didn't really imagine something like this, I think I'll have to work for a lifetime to pay for this.
• -Don't be crazy, that's yours and I won't charge you anything, I just want you to work for me and that's it.
• -Let's see boss, how can I help you.
• -Nothing boss, just tell me Javier and that's it, anyway, I was calling to ask you if you knew a lawyer, I know you had to hire one for the process with your son.
• -Yes, I only know that lawyer, he really did me the favor since he is not a family lawyer, I will send you the number.
• -Thank you, I'll call him. And is his service expensive?
• -Not really, he is going through difficulties that's why he took my case.
• -Okay, thank you, I'll wait for the number.
• A few minutes later I received a message with the lawyer's contact information and called him.
• -Good morning, I am looking for Mr. Manuel Baca.
• -That's me, who he talked to.
• -I was recommended your offices, my name is Javier Santos.
• -If you like, we can meet somewhere.
• -I'll wait for you at the Imperial Hotel, at the bar there.
• -Okay, I'll be there in 15 minutes.
• As soon as I hang up the call I receive a call from Stefany.
• -Good morning Mr. Javier, I have obtained an excellent piece of land for the construction of the villas, there are 120 blocks, but since the land is so valuable we must make an offer as soon as possible or we could lose it, the current offer is $12 million dollars.
• -Make an offer for $16 million dollars, the money is already available.
• -I'll do it right away.
• I call Maximo.
• -I need to write a check for $16 million so you can help me get it approved and not get it rejected by the bank.
• -Don't worry, just give me the check number and I'll approve it here.
• -It's number 6.
• -In 15 minutes I call you to confirm.
• I go to the Imperial Hotel and give instructions for my visit. At the bar I order a soda and receive a call from Stefany.
• -We have 2 hours to make the payment.
• -Come to the imperial hotel and ask for me, just tell me who the check is made out to.
• -I'll text it to her, I'm on my way.
• I get the name and forward it to Máximo, a few minutes later he calls me.
• -The transaction is already authorized with the information you gave us, the person can still confirm it through the contact number.
• -Perfect, thank you.
• The lawyer arrives.
• -Good morning Mr. Santos, I am Mr. Manuel Baca.
• -Much pleasure Mr. Baca, just give me a few minutes, I am closing a deal, I ask for whatever you like.
• -Relax, take care of your business.
• At that moment Stefany enters.
• -Hello, Mr. Javier.
• -Hello Stefany, here is your check, check that everything is okay.
• -Yes, $16 million dollars.
• -The bank has already been notified, please take it quickly.
• -Understood, with your permission.
• Stefany leaves.
• -I'll get to the point.
• -I need documentation for some companies I am creating, but it will only be the beginning, I still have many things in mind so your services will be permanent, give me an offer to work with me.
• -Excuse me Mr. Santos, I was not expecting this.
• -Yes, I know you didn't expect it, but give me a monthly amount.
• -$1,800 dollars I'd ask for.
• -I'll give you $2,500 and we'll get started right away. -Yes.
• -Tell me what kind of business it is and I'll take care of everything.
• -The first one a luxury restaurant and the second one luxury house sales, right now as you saw, they just took a check to close the purchase of 120 blocks of land and I already have the land for the restaurant.
• -The capital is our own, partners or financed.
• -It is our own.
• -How much will be the initial capital of each one.
• -I hadn't thought about that, put it this way, for the restaurant $10 million dollars and for the houses $40 million dollars, without including the cost of ownership.
• -Give me a week and I will notify you.
• -Perfect, take this check as a down payment.
• I go up to my room and Stefany calls me to tell me that the land was already ours, that the only thing missing was the signature and that in an hour I would have to be in some offices.
• When I arrived there were only 4 men and Stefany, I arrived with the lawyer so that he could verify the documentation and that everything was in order.
• After the signature, the lawyer took the documents with him, but there was a piece of paper missing, he went to the registry offices to look for it.
