Chapter 11 Take the first step
Zhuo Fei, who had a good night's sleep, regained his spirits, and after breakfast, he gathered Angela and the others together. "From today onwards, we are going to get busy, and the German side has reached a preliminary agreement, so the office on the American side will be set up immediately." With the money sent by Andy, Zhuo Fei had the confidence to start the plan, and immediately assigned the task to send Angela, who had been resting in the hotel for many days, out of the house.
New York in 1938 could not be compared with the prosperous New York of later generations, although the scale of New York is not comparable to that of later generations, but the bar culture in the United States, which is very marketable, has developed rapidly. The Wildcat Bar is not very conspicuous among the many bars in New York City, and most of the people who hang out at the Wildcat Bar are residents who live in the neighborhood, and of course, there are also some Americans who come to New York to seek development.
Parker Henderson, known to his acquaintances as the Big Bull, is at the Wildcat Bar, and Parker, from Los Angeles, is not an unemployed man who came to New York in search of opportunities, he is just a veteran who has just been discharged from the military and came to New York to visit his sister. "Parker, I guess you're here." A sad Parker was bringing his beer glass to his mouth when he was slapped on the shoulder by a large hand, and Parker, who was in a hurry, turned his head to see that the guy who almost knocked over his beer was actually his sister's neighbor dentist Brandt.
Brant and Parker's sister are neighbors, and although they are dentists, they are very sloppy creatures, and Parker will even see them wearing the same clothes for three days in a row. Not realizing that his actions just now almost triggered the anger that Parker had suppressed in his heart, Brandt greeted the bartender with a smile, and smiled at Parker, "Hey, brother, I already know everything about your sister's family, don't do this, things will always be resolved." ”
Brandt's words made Parker continue to suppress the churning anger in his heart, seeing that Parker still looked unwilling to deal with people, Brandt continued to laugh, "Man, God and his old man said that as long as there are things in the world that can be solved with money, they can't be called troubles. I've known your sister's family for three years, and I know very well what kind of woman your sister is, and as for your drunkard brother-in-law, that's a bastard, and I don't think the judge would think about that drunkard talking, understand? ”
Brant's persuasion finally softened Parker's face a little, but the melancholy that weighed on him did not diminish at all, what happened to his sister now made Parker almost unable to hold back the anger in his heart, if that damn guy appeared in front of him at this moment, Parker didn't dare to guarantee that he would not kill him on the spot. Parker was still in a secretly suppressed rage, and after Brandt squinted his eyes and glanced at Parker with his peripheral eyes, he continued with the corners of his mouth tilted, "Parker, your sister is a good woman, but her life is too hard, she has to take care of the children, and she has to fight a lawsuit with your bastard brother-in-law. You are a man, don't cause trouble for your sister at this time, otherwise your sister will not have real happiness in her life. ”
"Damn, what the hell do you want to do? Why do you keep saying things like this in my ear like a tiresome fly? Brandt's chatter finally made Parker's irrepressible anger explode, but fortunately Brandt gave the bartender a timely look, and the Wildcat Bar is not very popular now, otherwise the bartender would have called the police or flashed the shotgun hidden under the bar.
Patting Parker's arm on the front of his placket, after the other man let go of his hand, Brant said to Parker as he straightened his clothes, "Man, do you know what the biggest problem your sister and child are facing right now?" That is, she has no job and no source of livelihood now, and once your bastard brother-in-law divorces your sister, your sister and children are likely to end up on the streets. It's because of this that your sister will keep dragging on with that bastard like this without divorcing, you are Anna's younger brother, you should be by her side at this time and give her the courage to get out of the house, instead of hiding here and borrowing alcohol to kill her sorrows. ”
Brandt's words slammed into Parker's heart like a hammer, and then he took the bill out of his pocket and slapped it on the bar, grabbed his hat and walked out of the bar without looking back. Parker joined the army after graduating from high school, and after a few years of living in the army, Parker, who had been promoted to sergeant, did not save much money, and he wanted to help his sister, but he was powerless. When he was secretly depressed, the haunting Brant chased after him from behind, "What the hell are you going to do?" Why are you still following me? Parker was utterly furious and glared at Brandt.
Brant was not intimidated by Parker's appearance at the moment, but just took out a roll of money from his pocket and handed it to Parker, "I transferred the clinic to someone else, and you can take this money to your sister, although it is not a lot, but it is enough for her to rent a house outside and settle down." As long as you can get your sister to divorce that bastard, I'm sure your sister won't be intimidated by this trouble, she's a strong woman. ”
The banknotes with body temperature made Parker's palms feel like they were burning, and he didn't expect that the guy who had always been regarded as a sloppy ghost would be willing to sell the clinic he valued very much, and just by the way, he handed over the money from selling the clinic to himself. Seeing the confusion in Parker's eyes, Brant smiled, "I don't need that clinic anymore, there's a company on Fifth Street that is recruiting veterans who have fought in the war, and although I have been out of the army for many years, I used to be a good ambulance, so I was hired by them." ”
"Recruiting veterans?" Parker's brain doesn't seem to be enough, why is there such a company that specializes in recruiting veterans? Parker didn't ask any questions, and Brant didn't explain anything, so the two walked silently down the street until they entered the door of his sister's house, and Parker remembered that he still had the roll of money given by Brant in his hand. With the money financed by Brandt, and Parker's persuasion, Parker's sister Anna soon went through the divorce procedures with her brother-in-law, who only knew how to drink heavily.
After helping my sister rent a house in a relatively quiet neighborhood and paying the rent for the whole year, Parker finally went to Fifth Street. Brandt was right, there was indeed a company on Fifth Street called Golden Shield recruiting veterans, and Parker also received a registration form in a daze, and waited in line in the hall with a group of veterans who came to apply. The company interviewed quickly, and Parker, who was at the end of the line, was quickly taken into an office, which was very simple and decorated with two interviewers, a man and a woman.
"Parker Henderson, 33, served in the Marine Corps with the rank of sergeant, and was officially discharged from the army a month ago." The woman with the glasses read the contents of Parker's registration form with a blank expression, and the unusually simple registration form filled out was very inconspicuous among the many registration forms, but it attracted the attention of the man who had not spoken.
"Sergeant Parker, I would like to know if your company hired you and if there was an overseas assignment that required you to leave the United States?" The man with a hoarse voice glanced at Parker, who immediately straightened his back unconsciously, Parker, who had served in the army for several years, was very familiar with this look, and Parker was the sergeant major in his former army when he looked at people.
"Report sir, if I need to go to the open sea, I need to know how long it will take, I have a sister and two children in New York who need to be taken care of, I think it may not be too long." Parker told the truth, he thought that this company called Golden Shield Defense was just a bodyguard company, but he didn't expect them to have overseas jobs. Although he regretted that Parker could not leave the United States for a long time, his application form was kept, and a few days later, Parker, who was at home to help his sister take care of the children, received an employment contract from Golden Shield.
This Golden Shield Defense Company located on Fifth Street is Zhuo Fei's first step in the United States, within half a month, veterans like Parker, Golden Shield has recruited more than 300 people, if it weren't for Zhuo Fei wanting to recruit some veterans of special arms, maybe the number of Golden Shield has already exceeded the scale of 1,000 people. "Jeff, more pilots, ambulancemen, artillerymen, and tank pilots should be recruited, and it is good to keep the ordinary infantry within 400 people, but you remember, the number of people should not exceed 1,000."
After Andy's funds were in place, Zhuo Fei's life was much better, not only Zhuo Fei was secretly happy that the recruitment of veterans in New York was smooth, but Hansen in Germany finally came with good news, the first batch of penicillin produced has been clinically used application report. Soon, Bayer will hold a press conference with Hansen, after which a large amount of penicillin will be shipped to the United States, and the day of making a lot of money is coming.
Zhuo Fei's plan is linked one by one, and once it is implemented, there is no possibility of stopping, otherwise all these efforts made in the early stage will be in vain, and for this reason, the pressure on Zhuo Fei is also increasing day by day. "Catch, your recruitment of veterans on Fifth Street has caught the attention of the government, and my friends in the government say that someone is already secretly investigating you." The house leak was raining, and just when Zhuo Fei was exhausted to deal with all kinds of trivial matters, Andy brought another bad news.
"Angela, you can go, sign an employment contract with Jindun in the name of Blackwater, and take away 300 veterans that Jindun has recruited, we are a legitimate business, and we are not afraid of investigation." The bad news brought by Andy only made Zhuo Fei a little embarrassed, and then he didn't bother Zhuo Fei, because his next money-making plan could be implemented.
