Chapter Ninety-Six: Will Anderson
After John finished speaking, he pushed open the blue door of the bar and walked in first.
Qin Xu and Dale glanced at each other, then followed, and walked into the bar with John.
Speaking of which, this is the third time Qin Xu has come to the bar in the United States. The first time was to recruit cowboys, the second time was in New York, and there were so many glamorous things happening that time. And now it's the third time I've been to the bar.
Thinking back to China, as an otaku, he has only been to KTV with his colleagues a few times at most. A place like a bar, he didn't have the confidence to go.
It's not that there is no money, anyone can take out thousands of dollars, it's just that they don't have that spending power.
It's like the presidential suite in a hotel, thousands of dollars for a night, anyone can live with gritted teeth, but there are a few people who ordinary people will live in.
After sighing that he had also fallen, Qin Xu raised his head and looked at this "Ocean Star".
It's still different from ordinary bars, and the decorations here are not those old photos that you can tell at a glance that they are some years old.
There are also photos here, but they are all photos of some seafarers and marine animals, there are dolphins, seals, and even Qin Xu saw a big white man with his arms that looked like his thighs were thick, and a tiger shark that was scarred and knew that it had been dead for a long time at a glance.
And the decoration here is not a deer head specimen or anything, but a model of a small boat, of all kinds, from Spanish galleons to today's steel giants.
At this time, there were already a lot of people in the bar, sitting in twos and threes on the booths and chatting about something. On stage, a black man in his thirties and forties was rapping passionately.
When Qin Xu was silently looking at the decoration of the bar, he had unconsciously followed John to the bar counter.
"Hi there, need a ...... Uh, isn't this John? Why do you have time to come over today?"
Behind the bar was a white man in his fifties and sixties, with a somewhat fat figure and a big beer belly. At this time, he was holding a silver-white wine jug and looked at John with a look of surprise.
"Hi old Rem, no see in so long. You're still so energetic. ”
John smiled and greeted his decades-old friend, who was just a small waiter when he came here for a drink. Who would have thought that he would be a bar owner now.
"yes, it's been a year or two. How are you doing at Hill Manor? I recently heard that you won't lose your job with a change of boss, right?"
Old Rem quickly put down the silver-white wine jug he was wiping in his hand and walked out of the bar quickly. After a big bear hug with John, who greeted him, he asked with a concerned face.
John was a little moved and a little embarrassed in his heart. Busy smiled and introduced him: "Old Rem, I'm not unemployed, Hill Manor has a new boss, come, let me introduce you, this is the current boss of Hill Manor, Qin from Huaxia." ”
Listening to John's introduction, Qin Xu always felt a little awkward. After thinking about it for a long time, some people reacted, their own manor, from the time they came to the present, they are still calling their previous names, which is definitely unqualified for a boss.
But now is not the time to think about changing the name, Qin Xu stepped forward and shook hands with this old white man who looked to be in his fifties, but his hair was already a little gray, and introduced with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Rem. I'm Qin Xu, you can call me Qin. I'm here to recruit a couple of fishermen, you know, I have a big fishing ground there. ”
Old Rem shook hands with Qin Xu warmly, nodded with an understanding expression and said, "Well, I know this, the fishing ground of Hill Manor is really not small, you wait first, I will help you pick a few good hands to come over." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Qin Xu to answer, he walked towards a table of white men who were playing cards in the distance.
Qin Xu was a little stunned, this is too enthusiastic, right?
"Boss, old Rem is like that, he's such a hospitable character. I think it was this quality that made him take over this Ocean Star. ”
John looked at Qin Xu a little stunned, and took the initiative to explain to him on the side, he still knew about his old friend.
Looking at Old Rem who was talking to a few white men in the distance, Qin Xu was a little relieved. This is similar to some enthusiastic old people in China, especially the kind that likes to bring up their juniors.
Just as he was thinking about it, Old Rem came over with a few big men, pointed at Qin Xu and introduced them to a few people:
"This is the new boss of Hill Manor, Qin, he came here to find a few helpers for the fishing ground of Hill Manor, and the rest is up to you. ”
After saying that, he didn't say anything anymore, and went back to the back of the bar, and continued to wipe the silver shaker he had to wipe countless times a day.
Qin Xu looked at the few strong men in front of him, all of them were the kind with very developed limbs. One look at it lets people know that they have a lot of strength.
The leader was a middle-aged white man with short blond hair and an age of about forty, although he was middle-aged, but looking at his arms that were almost thicker than his thighs, Qin Xu couldn't connect him with a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties.
Qin Xu looked at him for a long time, and always felt as if he had seen him somewhere. In the midst of his doubts, the big white man took the lead and introduced himself:
"Hello Mr. Qin, I'm Will Anderson. At the age of 45, I am proficient in piloting all kinds of large and small fishing boats. ”
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and looked at Qin Xu expectantly.
Qin Xu was slightly stunned, and quickly stretched out his hand to shake him, he didn't expect this strong man to be so positive, it seemed that he needed a job very much now.
Qin Xu guessed correctly, Will Anderson at this time really needs a job very much, his wife had a serious illness some time ago, and the savings he saved when he was young have been exhausted.
Now he doesn't even have his daughter's tuition for the next semester, so he can only continue to run his old business and start fishing. Unfortunately, after decades of fishing, the fishermen around Boston are now small family units, and there are very few large fishing grounds or fishing boats here.
"Boss, this Will Anderson is a very powerful fellow, and when he was young, he dared to go to sea alone with a small wooden boat. once caught an adult tiger shark with his bare hands,
It's just that now because there are not many fishing grounds around, and he doesn't want to go out to work, he is still idle. You see, that's a picture of him. ”
John came over at this time and whispered in Qin Xu's ear. After speaking, he pointed to the photo hanging on the wall on the side, the first thing Qin Xu saw, the photo with the tiger shark.
Qin Xu nodded suddenly, no wonder he felt that the Anderson in front of him was a little familiar, it turned out that he was the person who captured the tiger shark in the photo, but because the photo was what he looked like when he was young, Qin Xu didn't recognize it at first.
