Chapter 123 Colt
Chapter 123 Colt Mack nodded after hearing this, and his brow furrowed into a Sichuan character, and said: "Your Excellency Eastwood, Governor Freeman intends to serve a second term as governor, and now there are still half a year left, and a new election is coming, so he hopes to get your help." ”
Yin Hang listened carefully and motioned for the other party to continue.
"In Sacramento, the governor is going to ask Citibank to pay for a couple of iconic buildings, and he wants you to be able to build a company, or something business-related, to increase the number of people employed, and of course the rest of the place, if you can take care of that, that's great," Mike said. ”
After hearing this, Yin Hang said with a smile: "You can rest assured that I will let Citi directly invest 100,000 yuan to build a racetrack, an oil company, a meat processing plant and a transportation company in Sacramento." How is it? ”。
Mike also laughed, "That's great, the governor will thank you." ”
Yin Hang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I know that the governor must have something else, if it's just about money, the governor won't find me." ”
"That's right." Mike said unabashedly: "Mr. Eastwood, the governor's main rival is called Gore # Lopez, he is also a very competitive person, the governor feels that he is only 50% sure of himself, and this Gore also has several important people who support him, all of them are state legislators who usually disagree with him." ”
Yin Hang said: "How does Freeman want me to help him?" ”。
"The governor wants me to ask you if something happens to Al Gore suddenly, will it affect his re-election." Mike said.
After Yin Hang heard this, he took a sip of his wine glass, and did not speak for a long time, and Mike on the other side was also waiting quietly. It took ten minutes before Yin Hang spoke again: "You go and tell Freeman that Gore won't have an accident!" ”。
Mike's face changed when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "Lord Eastwood......"
Yin Hang waved his hand, interrupted Mike, and said, "I'll go to Sacramento about this, and I'll meet Freeman in person!" ”。
Michael's face softened a little, and he said, "Okay, Lord Eastwood, when are you going?" ”。
"It shouldn't take long." Yin Hang said: "When things are almost done here, I will go back to Rock Town first, and then I will go directly to Sacramento." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." Mike said, "In that case, I'll take the train back in the afternoon, and we'll see you in Sacramento." ”
Yin Hang got up and said with a smile: "Of course, we'll see you in Sacramento!" ”。 Speaking of this, he tilted his head towards Dale next to him and said, "Dale, arrange for someone to help me deliver Mike." ”
After Mike left, Yin Hang sat back at his desk, lit a cigar, and smoked quietly, thinking about what Mike had just said.
Undoubtedly, Governor Freeman knew that he had certain "rights" based on his daughter's affairs. That's why he sent Mike to hint at himself and help him kill Gore.
There are only two possibilities, the first is that the governor, after knowing the "power" he can use, just wants to make things simpler and just eliminate the opponent, after all, people have a habitual surname, and after getting used to using simple methods, they no longer like to use other methods. This is the most typical example, Yin Hang can casually cite several, such as Lu Bu, such as Xiang Yu, after they got used to using force to solve the problem, they disdained to use other measurements.
There is also a possibility that Freeman does not really respect himself, and he is using Yin Hang as a gunman. If this is really the case, Yin Hang will never tolerate Freeman.
But Yin Hang is not a hasty person, he then thought of a telegram sent by Sam San Bernardino half a month ago, which said that San Bernardino has been officially upgraded to a city, and Arnold # Gibson has also successfully become the mayor. Carter was also appointed deputy mayor, and the police chief was even more unsuspenseful, with the former Sheriff Kim #Vito in charge.
He also thought of one thing, that is, the opening of a branch of Citibank in Sacramento, which was directly supported by Governor Freeman, and the speed and efficiency of various procedures were simply amazing.
Through these two points, the governor's attitude towards himself is still good, so now Yin Hang can't rush to conclusions, and he has to use some small means to see what Governor Freeman is thinking, if it is out of habit of using simple and direct methods, Yin Hang can understand, after all, human beings have such a habitual surname, he doesn't think that Governor Freeman is more powerful than Xiang Yu.
Then again, if Freeman is indeed using himself as a gunman, Yin Hang will definitely not tolerate it, and he would rather pull him directly from the governor's position and spend a certain amount of time supporting a new governor than let this happen.
After a while, Dell, who went to see off Mike, returned to the house, sat opposite Yin Hang, and said, "What are you going to do?" I mean the governor's thing. ”
Yin Hang shook his head and said, "Except for Gore's matter, tomorrow you go and send a telegram to Sam and ask him to send someone to Sacramento to set up an oil company, a meat processing plant, a transportation company, a gaming hotel, and a racetrack." ”
Dale nodded, "Okay, I'll go early tomorrow morning." ”
Yin Hang nodded, tossed Dale a cigar, and said, "I hope Freeman can see the situation clearly, murdering a state legislator is a stupid way." ”
Dale also nodded in agreement, and said, "That's right, that will be endlessly tracked down by the political axe!" It doesn't stop without results. ”
Yin Hang said: "That's right! That's it, I really can't figure out what Freeman is thinking. How could it suddenly become so stupid. ”……
The day after this incident, the southern suburbs of Berkeley began to work, and Yin Hang came directly to the Sheram Hotel after attending the opening ceremony, which has now become Gilardino's property, so Yin Hang didn't need to be polite to use it, in a suite on the top floor, he gathered all his subordinates to come here for a meeting.
Yin Hang said: "Let's start talking about one question at a time." ”
After thinking for a moment, he continued: "After the southern suburbs are built, Balotelli will hurry up and let these residents move out of Kaiyue, and if there are stubborn ones, let Rick go directly to Winston or Gilardino!" ”。
Balotelli nodded, "Yes, Your Excellency." ”
Yin Hang said: "After that, all the buildings in Kaiyue will be demolished immediately, Rick has already made the planning map, you guys will study it, I will not be directly involved, Citibank, Huaxia Hotel, Kaiyue Petroleum Company, Hippodrome, and so on at the same time, don't worry about the lack of money, the number of workers is not enough!" The problem of money can be solved by Wilges, and the workers' business, Dale has already taken care of Dawson, the vice president of the union, yesterday, and there will be enough manpower for us. ”
After a few people nodded, Yin Hang said, "I'll go back to Rock Town the day after tomorrow, and Balotelli will be in charge of all my business in Berkeley City." The banking is still in charge of Wilges, the mansion is in charge of Vincent, the oil company is in charge of Michael, the construction company is in charge of Balotelli, and that's it, if something happens, you can respond to Balotelli. ”
Several people looked at Balotelli at the same time, and the latter grinned at the group.
Hey, hey, hey!! The crowd burst into chuckles.
Yin Hang also laughed and said, "Balotelli will be my boss in Berkeley City after I leave!" Balotelli! If you have something special, you should send me a telegram as soon as possible, or go directly to San Bernardino to find me, or Sam! ”。
Balotelli certainly understood what the special thing Yin Hang was talking about. So nodded solemnly.
It is said that it is a meeting, but in fact, it is only a short-term appointment of people, so that these people know exactly what their position is.
After Yin Hang arranged everything, he asked everyone to be busy, and then turned around and said, "Dell, you go to the train station and pick up two people here, they are Kim # Kohler, an engineer from Colt Company, and Seandre # Colt, the youngest son of Colt. ”
Deyrton was happy, he knew that his boss had mailed something to the Colt Company, but he didn't know the specifics, but the boss had always wanted to cooperate with the Colt Company, and he still knew this. Now that Colt's youngest son has been sent, it shows that people still attach great importance to it, and immediately said: "No problem, I'll go get a big brand now." Put their names on them. ”
Even the trains of later generations are often delayed, let alone the old-fashioned trains now, Yin Hang never expected them to arrive on time.
In fact, as he had thought, Dale had gone for a full five hours, and it was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon before he returned to the Sheram Hotel, followed by two other people.
The one on the left is in his fifties, with a pair of glasses on his nose and slightly obese, and on the right is a young man in his twenties, wearing a smart suit, a cowboy hat, an authentic cowboy dress, and a black revolver around his waist. However, Yin Hang could see that this young man seemed to be just pretending, because both his size and brand-new holster revealed that he was just an amateur cowboy.
Yin Hang got up from the sofa and greeted him.
Dale made an introduction next to him and said, "Your Excellency, this is Kim # Kohler, an engineer at Colt Company, and this is Seandre # Colt. ”
Yin Hang said with a smile: "Welcome to the two of you, come!" Sit down first. ”
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
"You're welcome." ……
Yin Hang shook hands with the two people, then arranged them to sit on the sofa, and personally poured two glasses of wine for the two people, and said: "The two of you are tired of traveling, this room is prepared by me for the two of you, rest and rest first, and we will talk about it tomorrow?" ”。
"Thank you, Mr. Eastwood!" Kohler rubbed his glasses and said, "You're welcome, we can talk about these two drawings first." ”
It seems that this engineer is still a quick temper, and the little Colt next to him has the demeanor of a general, and I don't know if it's pretended, holding a wine glass, sniffing it under his nose.
After Khloe finished speaking, Yin Hang saw him in his arms, took out two drawings, and said, "Mr. Eastwood, did you design the guns on these two drawings?" ”。
Yin Hang nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Seeing Yin Hang admit that Khloe and Little Colt glanced at each other, Khloe continued: "May I ask Mr. Eastwood, there is something missing in this, I don't know what it means?" ”。
Yin Hang smiled and said bluntly: "I plan to cooperate with your company." ”
Khloe nodded and didn't speak, while little Colt on the side put the wine glass on the table and said, "I don't know how Mr. Eastwood plans to work with our company?" Is it to jointly produce these two firearms? ”。
After he finished speaking, he saw Yin Hang shake his head, and suddenly wondered: "Oh? What is that? ”。
Yin Hang said: "It's not just these two firearms. ”
Little Colt said, "What do you mean? Do you have the rest of the designs? ”。
Yin Hang said: "I plan to use technology to become a shareholder. ”
After hearing this, the two looked at each other again, and Kohler said: "Although these two firearms are relatively advanced, they are not yet good for shares, please forgive me for the sake of these two drawings, it is impossible for Colt Company to allocate shares to others." And one of them, we're working on it as well! I believe that it will not be long before it can be put into production. ”
Yin Hang smiled: "Just like I said before, it's not just these two firearms. ”
Kohler asked, "Are you saying you want to take something else in it besides these two firearms?" ”。
Yin Hang nodded and said, "Serial musket!" The theoretical rate of fire is two hundred rounds per minute! ”。
"What?" When Kohler heard this, he immediately exhaled, stared at Yin Hang for a while, and then asked urgently, "Two hundred rounds?" Are you serious? ”。
Yin Hang nodded and said, "Of course it's true, I'll use the patents of these firearms to exchange for forty percent of the shares of the Colt Company!" ”。
Little Colt frowned, couldn't stop thinking in his heart, looked at Kohler a few times in a row, and finally said, "I'm really sorry, your asking price is too high!" ”。
Yin Hang nodded and said, "I didn't say it's just these kinds of guns. With that, he took out two more drawings from the drawer under the table and handed them over. He handed them to the two men and said, "Mr. Kohler is looking at what I called a chain of muskets." Mr. Kirk, on the other hand, looked at some ways to improve the revolver, and he solved a series of problems caused by the gap between the barrel and the revolver, such as air leakage and smoke. ”
The two of them looked very seriously, especially Kohler, who was an expert in firearms himself, and had participated in the development of the first revolver with old Colt, and his knowledge was certainly extraordinary! He looked at the design of the hand-cranked chain musket, and thought about it step by step, and found that it was indeed feasible in theory, but there were some small regrets, and some key parts of the drawings, like the two drawings he had seen before, were hidden!!
After that, the two exchanged drawings and looked at them in detail again for a long time, and finally Kohler secretly gave little Colt a look, and then said: "The guns in these drawings, if they can be turned into reality, are undoubtedly masterpieces." Just ......"
Little Colt said: "It's just that if you want to invest 40% of the shares, we really can't agree, that's my father's life's work." ”
Yin Hang nodded and said: "Of course I know this, and I also admire Mr. Colt for being able to design a revolver, and I believe that in another hundred years, someone will definitely use it." ”
Speaking of this, the conversation changed sharply, and continued: "In addition to these patented technologies, I plan to invest 200,000 yuan so that Colt Company can have its own production base." As far as I know, your company has only just bought a piece of land, and although it can produce firearms, it can only be said to be a production workshop. How about I fund it to be converted into a production base? In this way, you can buy the best processing equipment. ”
Little Colt looked at Kohler again and said, "Use these to buy forty percent of our company's shares?" ”。
Yin Hang raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, "Yes!" I think Mr. Colt, don't be too busy refusing just yet! You should send a telegram to-morrow to old Mr. Colt to tell him what is going on, and convey my sincerity! ”。
Kim# Kohler nodded and said, "You are indeed very sincere, we will go to the telegraph office tomorrow and send a telegram to Mr. Colt!" ”。
When it comes to this, the matter has come to an end, these two people can't be the master! Of course, it is impossible to promise Yin Hang anything. But Yin Hang doesn't mind, it's really not good, he can also open a new arms manufacturing company by himself, but in that case, it will be too troublesome, and the cost is definitely not small, and the problems such as orders need to be started all over again!
A few people were talking, and the sky was already dark, and Yin Hang directly called the hotel service and asked them to bring the food.
During the dinner, Yin Hang quipped: "Mr. Colt, I saw that you were carrying a pistol, are you also a cowboy?" ”。
Little Colt "hehe" smiled: "No! I just like some western stories and find them exciting, so I took it with me. Speaking of which, he was a young man in his twenties after all, and he couldn't avoid the problem of showing off, so he directly pulled out the revolver on his waist and said, "You know what? Mr. Eastwood! This gun was the first Walker pistol my father produced. ”
"Oh?" Of course, Yin Hang knew about the Walker pistol, this gun was a slightly older pistol now, but it was very collectible, so he took it, looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed an "old gun" After looking at it for a while, he handed it back and said, "Your father is indeed a genius." ”
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
