Chapter 156: Nursing Home Competition
"Hehe, what are you doing in a daze? You have a word," he said to the black man, "I can guarantee that these guys are sincerely apologizing." ”
"Yes, Captain Chris Thomas, please forgive us for our rudeness and indecency, and continue to lead us to the death of Harvard." One of them sounded like he was about to cry.
"This ......," Chris thought for a moment, "I know you are unintentional remarks, I forgive you, and I hope you will pay attention to your words and actions in the future." But with other black classmates, I can't represent them. And the cheerleading girls......"
"Just forgive me, we will go to the door to apologize to the others, knock on the door one by one and ask them to come back to the team, the cheerleading girls too, especially the one who was too drunk that time, this time I must prove to her that time to show me......"
"Damn it, don't be ashamed," his companion roared.
"Then come in and sit down," Chris said
"No, no, we have to apologize to a few other students, tomorrow morning, we will be on time for training......"
"Okay, see you at the stadium tomorrow."
Seeing the three of them leave, Chris looked at the grinning Edward, "You got them?" ”
"No, they came on their own, I just led the way, and then persuaded and educated them by the way."
"How?"
"Hehe, you men" Edward entered the door, leaned back on the sofa, and learned Megan's tone, "all of them have strong self-esteem, especially in front of the girls, and refuse to accept anything." ”
"However, in my heart, I am really admitting my mistake...... Especially when Harvard provokes us, we can't wait to unite and do ...... them."
"If I'm right, you actually regret quitting the team, right?" Edward asked with a hippie smile.
"Yes, but that's all I could do at the time!"
"yes, those guys, actually. But the three are runners, and they are afraid that they will be beaten half to death by you when they stand up, especially in front of the girls...... I happen to be able to read the hearts of you stinky men...... Then with a slight threat, they obediently came over and apologized. ”
"How did you threaten it?"
"It's very simple, I said, if I lose this time, I'll ask Carl Wright to take the he knows from New York to watch the team practice every day......"
"That's it?"
"Look at it every day, stand on the sidelines, don't wear pants...... These guys have been trying to seduce rugby players for a long time, but they haven't had a chance......"
"Poof......" The expression on the big black face became very exciting.
"Well, it's just a step up for them. Truth be told, you're regretting it, and they're regretting it too" Edward shrugged
"Uh......" Chris nodded a little embarrassed.
"I said yes, at this time, there must be a middleman who comes out and hands them a step." …… But I can't let Carl Wright threaten you, can I......"
Chris laughed, "I don't see, you have the potential to be a middleman." ”
"No, Carl Wright is the ......" Edward laughed, "You don't see, when Carl Wright looks at those guys, they are like frogs targeted by poisonous snakes." ”
“…… You're a genius! ”
Edward changed the subject, "By the way, how is your internship?" ”
"Clifford Chance's New York office accepted my resume and asked me to come for an interview next week, and judging from the phone call, I felt that there was a lot of hope this time."
"I'll just say, there are people in this world who know the goods, do a good job, maybe you will be the future justice."
"Thank you, I'll work hard, and I'm going to prove to everyone that black people aren't just a mess."
"Of course, I'm confident in that. What do you think of this election? Edward asked
"Me? I would vote for Hubert Humphrey of the Democrats, although I think Nixon will win. ”
"Yes, Democratic candidates always do," said Edward, gesturing to his crotch.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Their candidates are like my chickens, always on the left, and they're not everyone's first choice......"
"Hahahaha, you, you guy. Damn, you've got all the Yale Flowers, and you're still talking like that? If anyone else hears you, you'll probably be beaten to death......"
"And there's it! It's all you! If you don't come back soon, you won't come back late! ”
"Are you blaming me? Spoiled your good deeds? Bull's eyes glared, and two fists with a diameter of seven inches rose up, "I'm hungry!" ”
"Okay, good, you, you, we have something to say, something to say......"
Edward scolded and went down to the kitchen, but he was in a pretty good mood.
After all, a turmoil disappeared invisibly, this is the embodiment of his own wisdom and ability, and it is also an accurate reflection of human nature, but I don't know what the tool man Carl Wright thinks in his heart, but it doesn't matter......
After all, this buddy or sister can escape from the big crime of "attacking the police", and Edward also made a lot of "effort", of course, he didn't tell Carl Wright about the specific details, first, it is not a good habit to come to the city, and secondly, he can't go into detail.
The absurdity of telling a 0 about the love of men and women is no less absurd than playing the piano to a cow.
Carl Wright also knew in his heart that he was lucky to get away with it this time, not only because of the overwhelming rainbow flags and the bizarre "Wizard of Oz" cosplay show at the entrance of the police station, but also because there were unknown forces at work.
When he came out, Hansen told everything that had happened, especially mentioning Edward's idea of the Rainbow Flag's genius class, which made this excited to make a promise......
Fortunately, Hansen grabbed him with a clear mind, and the latter immediately threw himself into Hansen's arms and cried......
Afterwards, Hansen told Edward all these things, and loved someone to wipe a cold sweat while listening, and finally patted Hansen on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility......"
Therefore, today Edward made a phone call, and Carl Wright was immediately on the scene, and this level of strategic deterrence is almost devastating for straight male athletes......
And so the matter was settled.
……
Time flies.
On Saturday, Edward drove back to New York.
Now his mother, Josephine, has returned to the Polo Park community and actually lives in the small compound of Mizrasi Rabi.
Since "coming home", the smile on her face has noticeably increased.
The grandmother loved this daughter who had suffered from displacement very much, and the natural blood relationship between mother and daughter made them rely on each other.
So visiting his wife every week became something Edward had to do.
But he knew in his heart that he seemed to be more willing to chat with his grandfather now, and the things in this old guy's stomach were all things that would not be taught in books and schools, but they were necessary to live in the United States, especially if he was a master......
……
"Why? Why is that? Edward looked at his grandfather with a blank expression, "This, this, has nothing to do with me, right?" ”
"Why doesn't it matter?" Mizrasi Rabi smiled, "Besides, you've been quite empty lately, just to help me share something, I'm already old, I have high blood pressure and diabetes, and my energy can't keep up." Isn't this your best chance as a junior? ”
"If you withdraw your energy from sweets, even if it's only 1/3, I think you'll feel a lot better. It's true. Now, every time you come, you count the cookies you eat on my head, and my grandmother and mother stuff my car with all kinds of sweets when I leave...... You know, I've hated sugar since I was a kid...... This will cost me more money to go to the dentist! ”
Grandpa stuffed a biscuit into his mouth and vaguely suggested, "Then you can bring it to me quietly...... My good boy, I can pay you...... Fair price"
Edward pouted, "I don't want to lose my dear grandfather so soon...... Well, seriously. I'm not surprised that Bergman has that little thing in his name, and you divide it into two nursing homes, but why do you let me manage it? First of all, I was busy with my studies, and secondly, I didn't have any experience with it at all......"
"This time, Nizo's family got five nursing homes."
Edward was stunned, "Clams?" What is this group of mafias going to do? Even if they give this thing, they don't have any customers, right? Or are they going to do it themselves? ”
"This is what the elder Nizo himself requested, originally he wanted to give him land or other assets, but he insisted on taking the nursing home, and he specified that he wanted to run well. Guess why? ”
"Black ...... Is the mafia really going to open a nursing home? A strange picture flashed in Edward's mind, a muscular Friche, with his sleeves rolled up and his mouth not clean, flying all over the sky, pushing a cart to give injections, change dressings, feed and wipe the old man lying on the bed...... This kind of theme is something that Disney wouldn't dare to shoot, right?
It's just too surreal.
"It's horrible," he quickly shook his head, pushing the spicy-eyed image out of his mind.
"Since it was the old fox himself, then I can probably only think that he really wants to do this business, and then use this business to whitewash himself and his family? After all, as Ferricher has said, the mafia's old business is getting worse and worse under the combined crackdown of the New York police and the FBI. But I still think it's crazy to have Ferry feed and dress the old people......" He then came back to his senses, trying to analyze this "abnormal" behavior.
Although I haven't seen old Nizo, the one who can be honored by his grandfather as an "old fox" is obviously not an ordinary person.
Apparently old Nizzo would not be hot-headed - unless he happened to have high blood pressure at that time, so the future of the Felice guy in the family was obviously in jeopardy, he could fight, be loyal, and be handsome, but obviously his brain was not very good, and such a person would definitely not be able to win the favor of DON.
"Smart boy, in fact, MAIFA, including the five major families, is trying to clear its name, times have changed, and with the development of science and technology, the ability of law enforcers to manage and control the city has reached an unprecedented strength. If nothing else, the various eavesdropping devices alone are enough to give them a headache. Therefore, while it is not yet fully targeted, it makes sense to quickly transform. Although this path is difficult, after getting through, the family may be able to sustain itself......"
"Okay, but why are you running a nursing home? And why pick me? I'm busy! "Edward jumps on both feet, he's certainly busy, academic pressure aside, and Rustberg and Meghan eat up a lot of their spare time.
Mind these old immortals? Unless there are 48 hours in a day.
And listening to the old man's meaning, it seems that he wants to run it himself, not to break the nursing home into pieces and sell it out.
Are you kidding?!
The future legal elite is going to become the heir to Bergman's career?!
Thinking of this, his head shook like a rattle: "No, no, no, no, I really can't do this, if I am a legal adviser or something, it will be fine." ”
"Guess who Nizo's family will put in charge of these nursing homes?" Mizrasi Rabi laughed slyly.
“?? The mafia still has management talents?? I always thought they would treat the elderly in the nursing home as boxing punching bags. ”
"Old Nizo, this time I really want to enter the field of elderly care...... He made this very clear to me. ”
"Could it be...... Could it be that the muscles on Edward's face twitched, and a beautiful face flashed through his mind, "Dami? ”
"Yes, we two old guys are betting that whose child is more talented in business?"
"You're all crazy!" Edward yelled, "Let two newbies with absolutely no experience run the complex project of a nursing home, and use it to make a bet...... God, what are you doing? ”
"Of course, we have to give young people a chance...... Understood. Come on! It's decided, what is needed and tell me, I'll try to satisfy you, in fact this game is fair. Dami is in business school, so he has to run five, you don't have experience, just run two. In three months, we two old guys will do the first assessment......"
"I ...... You ......"
"Good luck my child, the community of Jews and Italians has fought for generations...... I want you to defend our reputation, it would be disappointing to lose to the Italians in terms of business. Both Jews and Chinese are good at business, and this is widely recognized as ......"
"You call this stereotype, you belong to the realm of political incorrectness!" Edward was screaming in his heart
……
Edward looked at the two five-story concrete box-like buildings, and his heart was confused.
This is the nursing home he wants to take over, nominally two houses, but in fact the two buildings are very close together, and it is no problem to say that they are one.
In this competition with Dami, he has a bit of an advantage, at least he doesn't have to keep shuttling between various units, which can save a lot of time.
Edward didn't know anything about business at all, and there were no relevant professionals in the surrounding circle, and he had studied business law at Yale, but this could only be used to support the bottom line and prevent him from being targeted by the IRS for making outrageous actions in business, such as being targeted by the IRS, and being fined bankrupt, but it didn't help much on how to expand the scope, reduce costs, and increase profits.
Come to think of it, only Dami has theoretical experience, and it is said that his golden retriever Lao Tzu is a famous builder in New York - even if he has been exposed to it since he was a child, he could have asked him for advice, at least it is better to be armed with theory than to have a black eye.
However, at the moment, the two are competitors, and this road is equivalent to not being able to go.
"Forget it, the boat is naturally straight to the bridgehead, and 0 sees 1 must bend...... Let's take it one step at a time. ”
The nursing home, called Springfield Home for the Elderly, is part of Bergman's mid-to-high-end properties.
Although the exterior of the building is a bit ugly - it was originally a factory building, and then the company went bankrupt and Bergman bought it at a fairly cheap price, and the exterior could not be changed significantly, but the interior decoration and ancillary services are really good.
In total, there are more than 200 elderly people living in the area, and unlike the impression of nursing homes, most of the residents here are healthy, normal-minded, and able to move freely, and there are not many difficult customers who are paralyzed in bed all year round, or who have smeared their stool with paint everywhere because of the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
