New York, an international metropolis, after Gao Cheng got off the plane, he took out the map and itinerary prepared by Xiao Ai, and took a taxi.

The first is to find a place to live, then find a consulting company to see if there is a ready-made detective agency to buy, and then ......

Gao Cheng looked at the itinerary arranged by Xiao Ai speechlessly, although it was very useful, but he didn't feel confident in him at all, for the goal of the world's number one detective, he had a plan for a long time, of course he knew how to open a detective agency in New York.

The easiest way is indeed to find a detective agency with financial difficulties and no troubles, as long as you have money, buying a reliable small detective agency should be too big a problem.

On the way to Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge, a giant statue of Liberty appeared in front of Gao Cheng's eyes, as he had seen in movies in the past, further reminding him of his current location.

Just like when he first arrived in Conan's world, now another person has come to a metropolis, and he doesn't even have a place to stay, the only difference is that he is rich now.

It's just that the money spent has to be reimbursed by Xiao Ai......

Gao Cheng's eyebrows jumped.

Forget it, find a place to settle down first, have a meal, and then go to a consulting company to find out which detective agencies you can buy.

In Los Angeles, because of Hollywood, private investigators are undoubtedly more profitable, and Manhattan, New York, has Wall Street, and there is also fertile ground for private detectives to survive, but he values the crime rate in New York City

There are no fewer cases here than in Tokyo, in addition to frequent shootings, high-IQ murders are also endless, and it is also the most suitable stage for detectives, but I don't seem to have heard much of a famous detective like him, but there seem to be a lot of famous police detectives.

Thinking about it this way, he, a layman from Asia, doesn't seem to be very easy to mix, and he doesn't know what will happen if he brings Conan here.

In the afternoon, after finding an ordinary hotel to check in, Gao Cheng casually ate something and immediately rushed to the consulting company that made an appointment by phone in advance.

"Hello, Mr. Joto," a young man with dark blue eyes was in charge of receiving Gao Cheng, "according to your needs, we have found 3 private detective agencies that meet your requirements, two medium-sized and one small, I suggest you consider these two medium-sized private detective agencies." ”

The young man was obviously a little surprised by Gao Cheng's age, but he didn't say anything.

"Are there only 3?" Gao Cheng took the information and looked at it.

2 middle-class detective agencies have a lot of staff, the structure is very perfect, and there are all aspects of business, which is worse than the consulting company in front of them, and the boss behind the scenes intends to transfer because of investment problems.

The small detective agency is much more shabby, not much better than his detective agency in Tokyo, the boss is the detective of the agency, with three or two big cats and small cats under his command, and the business is bleak, because the capital chain is broken, so it has to be sold.

The young man explained beside him: "This used to be a medium-sized detective agency, but in the past two years, it has not developed well and has removed a lot of business, and the foundation and connections are all there, and the strength is not bad." ”

Gao Cheng didn't say anything and continued to stare at the information.

Two medium-sized detective agencies are of course good, but the price is too expensive, it is not cost-effective for him, and it is also a problem to manage.

Gao Cheng's attention turned to the remaining small detective agency.

The Bourne Detective Agency is not expensive, as long as it invests another $100,000, it should be able to operate, and he does not need much business for this detective agency.

"Detective Byrne was formerly a NYPD detective?" Gao Cheng noticed the introduction of the boss of the detective agency and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, Mr. Bourne, after committing a murder mistake, quit his job and started a private detective agency with a friend," the young man nodded, "but two years ago the partner was killed, and the Berne detective agency is gradually declining. ”

"Then you should have a lot of contacts at the police station?"

Gao Cheng was a little moved.

This private investigator named Bourne has a very similar experience to Uncle Maori, who became a private investigator after leaving the police system, and happens to have the connections he needs at the moment.

"Just this Bourne detective agency," Gao Chengchao asked the young man, "I want to meet with Detective Bourne first." ”

"Okay."

……

The location of the Bern Detective Agency is not bad, just above a small building on the commercial street, with a slightly old signboard, an office that is not very inconspicuous, and a desk full of papers, which is not much different from an ordinary company in New York.

Gao Cheng knocked on the door of the president's room, and under the leadership of the blue-eyed youth, he saw a somewhat haggard middle-aged uncle, with a typical Caucasian appearance, who seemed to have not taken care of his body for several days, and had a faint smell of alcohol, but before receiving Gao Cheng, he still put on a somewhat crumpled suit and tried to make himself as energetic as possible.

"Mr. Bourne, this is Mr. Joto."

The young man who temporarily served as Gao Cheng's manager shook hands with the middle-aged uncle, and after a brief introduction to Gao Cheng, he took out a signing document.

If there is no problem, the detective agency can be transferred in person.

A trace of sadness flashed in the middle-aged uncle's eyes, and he took a deep breath and signed his name.

"Mr. Bourne," Gao Cheng did not sign, but looked at the middle-aged uncle and said, "After acquiring this detective agency, I hope you will still stay and work, for me, the greatest value of the Bourne Detective Agency is you." ”

The middle-aged uncle took the pen in amazement, looked at the young man next to him, and then looked at Gao Cheng, and his throat moved: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Chengto, I don't want to lie to you, because of my leg injury, I haven't taken over the business for a long time, and the general entrustment is handed over to Bruce and them......"

"You just need to help me manage it, and I won't be in New York for long." Gao Cheng said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Byrne didn't say anything more, although he didn't know what Gao Cheng's plans were, but he had no problem with just management, and it was estimated that he would hire another detective later.

It didn't take much time to sign the contract, and after understanding all aspects of the situation, Gao Cheng officially bought the Bourne Detective Agency, and did not change the name considering the connections.

Waiting for the young people of the consulting company to leave, Gao Cheng, who became the boss, called the staff of the entire detective agency to the president's room, in addition to Bourne, plus a total of 3 clerks, 2 young people who were originally running business outside heard that the detective agency was acquired and hurried back, and they were very surprised to see the young Gao Cheng.

"My name is Joto Takasei, and I have a detective agency in Tokyo, Japan, so I will stay there most of the time," Takasei said straight to the point after looking at a few of his staff, "In the future, this side will still be managed by Mr. Bourne." ”

The two young men in their 20s were originally Bourne's assistants, and the business they took over was also some ordinary investigation work, similar to the dark blue-eyed young man he had just commissioned, it was absolutely impossible to investigate the case, and even the business of many senior detectives could not be handled, but because of this, the Bourne Detective Agency was much cleaner and pure, and there was no trouble.

"President," Byrne couldn't help but say, "Are you going to recruit detectives from outside?" ”

"Let's do this for now."

Gao Cheng shook his head, which senior detective would come to this kind of small detective agency, and there is no need for ordinary people to recruit him.

"The detective agency needs to improve its reputation first, do you have any plans for the near future?"

"This ......"

Byrne was a little embarrassed.

"Been looking for business ...... lately"

"Uh," Gao Cheng patted his forehead at the thought of the introduction of the Bourne Detective Agency in the materials, "I'll stay here for a while and find a more difficult commission." ”
