The next day, Astor drove to Brooklyn with two servants and business assistants to pick up Russell and leave for Boston.

Boston is home to the Matt School, the oldest public elementary school, as well as the world-renowned higher education colleges of MIT and Harvard...

At the same time, it is also the birthplace of the American spirit, where the Tea Party took place, which sparked the American Revolutionary War.

In the future, it will also be the steering wheel of science and technology, and the holy land of bioengineering technology!

"Why live in Brooklyn? Your neighborhood is full of Jews, Walker, and I don't understand your intentions. ”

Three brand-new cars on the road were speeding off, and the Ford in the middle was in the back seat, Astor asked in confusion.

"Ever since I got off the ship, I've been observing the city of New York, where the streets are full of gangsters, fighting, blackmailing, looting... There are so many people like us who are new to the city and have no roots, so we have to face a choice. ”

"If chaos, dirtiness, and crampedness are likened to hell, then the gangsters are the devil. I don't want to be the one who is driven and intimidated by the devil, then I will degenerate into a Satan who drives the devil! ”

Astor frowned: "... But that's a misguided path! You're going to lose your life because of it, it's too dangerous. If you want to make money in business, I'm with Yinsido, the Guggenheim can help you! ”

Russell turned his head and said seriously: "Mr. Astor, you will definitely help me, but you can't help me for a lifetime." You are all the pillars of the family, and there are countless people who eat with you, if you do your best to help me as an outsider, what will the family think? Over time, they will question you. ”

Astor was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Walker to think so much, and he thought very clearly.

"You... So what do you want to do? ”

Russell smiled and said: "I didn't expect it at the moment, I'm going to take it one step at a time." Without the support of regular customers, it is difficult for the security company to make a name for itself, so it is necessary to put it down first. Then you can only build a construction company first, and then you can find opportunities. ”

Asther nodded, took out two cigarettes and handed him one.

Ignite, spit smoke.

"I was about to talk to you about business in Boston."

Russell smoked," you say. ”

"It's all about the beginning, do you know the Pilgrim team? Now it has joined the American Professional League Baseball and changed its name to the Boston Red Sox, whose owners want to build a home arena in Boston for an estimated $3 million project. ”

"In addition, Boston's regular visitors also want to vigorously develop sports and make Boston a sports city...... So, they planned several areas to build stadiums and basketball halls...... Almost more than a dozen projects! ”

"And we only need to win six projects, which is enough to earn endless money."

"However, there are also many people competing with us, among whom Lefraque and Missitas are the most threatening, they have been in the real estate industry for a decade, not only architectural team designers, but also lumber mills, steel mills ......"

Speaking of this, Astor smiled.

"But we can't be underestimated, even if the two of them are combined, we can handle it. But what I'm worried about is that they will join forces, and that's a dozen real estate developers! ”

The combination of more than a dozen real estate developers is definitely less profitable than Astor alone.

But the implication is serious, which means that once they are successfully united, they quickly form a team, or even a consortium!

"You mean you can't get them to join forces, as long as they eat dog, we're confident that we'll win half of the project?"

Astor smiled and nodded: "Yes, as long as they don't join forces to squeeze me out, then I can get more than half of the project." ”

In fact, he can take care of all the projects, but he can't do this, he always has to leave a soup for others to drink, otherwise he will be really anxious, and play some insidious tricks, no one can predict the result, after all, the open gun is easy to dodge and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent.

"Okay, I'll take care of that."

Astor agrees with and appreciates Walker's efficiency, because he has seen it with his own eyes, so his heart is a lot more relieved when he hears Walker's promise.

Upon arrival in Boston.

Everyone checked into the hotel for a short rest.

In the evening, Astor and Russell drove around the streets of Boston.

The main exploration is the land, although the government has planned the buildings to rise on the land, but the land belongs to the individual, and the individual will contract the project out, or let the government contract on behalf of the government......

In short, the easiest way to engage in real estate in the United States is to buy land and build it.

The reason why the Zhengfu participated this time was that Boston's Zhengke had a good relationship with several bosses who owned the land, and they wanted to get some positive results, and the landlord of the land was naturally willing to give a favor.

The next day at noon.

Hosted by Boston Regulars, a meeting was held in the hotel ballroom.

In fact, it is to let these real estate developers talk about how to divide the thirteen construction projects.

Astor and Russell arrive at the hotel in suits and leather shoes to meet eight real estate businessmen from all over the United States.

They greeted Astor with a smile and seemed to be very familiar, but they hadn't seen each other a few times.

"Hello Mr. Aster, I'm Missito."

"Lefraque."

"Who is this?"

Astor introduced: "My friend Russell Walker! ”

"Oh! Hello Mr. Walker, the unsinkable hero, and I have admired the name for a long time. ”

"I admire your bravery very much, you have saved hundreds of people in disasters, and the United States should give you a certificate of honor and a medal of heroism."

Russell smiled: "I'm from London, England, so I don't bother with the American government." ”

"Hahaha, I'm still French." Lefraque said.

"The Native Americans of America are dying, and since we are standing on American soil, then we are Americans!"

"That's right!"

Astor said, "You are indeed believers in Jesus, very orthodox. ”

"Of course!"

The Jews said that Jesus was a rebellious student... And these people who believe in Jesus are naturally rebellious!

Missidore and Lefraque inquired about the wreck, and Russell and Astor said much as the newspaper had written, and they quickly lost interest.

No one wants to listen to repeated gossip, even if a thousand people die, it doesn't matter much to them, but they can't show disgust in front of people, that would show the dark side of their hearts, so they have to pretend to be heartbroken.

Then he said, "Oh, I can't accept it, their death is as bad as a stab in my abdomen, and to hide our sadness, let's change the subject."

At the beginning of the meeting, the guests spoke two sentences, and the purpose was one, and they were clearly told it.

The land is contracted by private individuals to the government, and if you want to contract, you have to come up with a good price.

Not only to please the private boss, but also to make us happy......

There are two words in and out of the words, interests!

At this moment, there were only ten people left in the banquet hall, including Russell and Astor, and the remaining eight real estate developers made eye contact from time to time......

"Mr. Aster, I'm out of company. Had a good conversation with Mr. Mississido just now, and I'd like to ask him some questions. ”

Astor nodded, "Okay." ”

Russell walked slowly up to Missidore and said in front of everyone, "Mr. Missitor, I have something I want to ask you, I wonder if you have time now?" Oh, interrupted your conversation? ”

Originally, they were chatting about how to purchase timber from other places, but they didn't expect to be interjected by Russell and directly terminated the topic.

Missidore glanced at Lefrack, then smiled and said, "Of course, can we communicate here?" ”

"No, we should find a quiet place, don't you think."

"Well, for the sake of being a hero."

Russell smiled: "Thank you." ”

It was clear that Missidor was already a little upset.

In their eyes, Russell was just Astor's henchman, and they didn't look down on him at all.

The two went to the next meeting room.

Russell took out a cigarette and handed it to him, but Missidor waved his hand and refused.

"Mr. Walker, let's be honest about something, my time is precious."

You can pretend when there are a lot of people, but you don't pretend at all when there are only two people.

"Mr. Missitso, do you and the bosses of Lefraque want all the projects?"

He frowned and asked, "Of course, doesn't Mr. Astor want the whole project?" ”

Russell walked over to the couch and sat down, smoking a cigarette with his legs crossed.

"No, he wants to leave some for you." ”

"What do you mean?"

Russell smiled, "Mr. Astor wants to leave a project for each of you, this is so that you can have a soup to drink." ”

"Haha... Mr. Walker, do you know what you're talking about? Although we are not as strong as Astor individually, we are definitely stronger than Astor together, right? What is the most popular in the United States now, the group heating! ”

Russell squinted and said: "Mr. Missitor, with all due respect, there is no good end for the group heating, and the final result is decomposition and devouring!" Do you understand? You're smart and know what I'm talking about. ”

"Besides, you're a businessman, what is a businessman? What a businessman means is that any condition can be negotiated, so he is called a businessman! ”

Missidore frowned and asked, "What the hell do you mean?" ”

"I run a security company in Manhattan, New York, and I'm currently responsible for Mr. Astor's security, and if he gets attacked in Boston, then I have reason to suspect that you did it, right?"

Missidor was silent.

"You only do real estate business, and Mr. Astor has other properties besides real estate, but I don't have any property, can Mr. Missitor give me a chance?"

Russell snuffed out the cigarette and took the Colt M1911 from his armpit and placed it on the table.

He looked up and saw Missidor Tong shrinking, a little frightened, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid, this is just a choice." ”

Then, he took another cigarette from the cigarette case and placed it on the table.

smiled at Missidos: "You smoke? ”

Missitor was stunned, looked at Russell's face, and said, "What will Mr. Astor give you?" ”

"He didn't say he was going to give me anything, but I saved his life and he wanted to repay me...... Will you please give him a chance to repay me? ”

Missidore stepped forward slowly, bent down to pick up a cigarette from the table, and Russell took out a kerosene lighter to help him light it.

"Each of us has a project?"

"That's right."

Missidore nodded, looking at him seriously, "Now I know how you saved people on the ship. ”

"I hope you don't mind."

"You've already apologized." Mississito raised the cigarette in his hand, meaning that Russell's act of lighting him just now was an apology.

"Of course, Mr. Missidore, I sincerely think that we will become good friends in the future."

Missidor shook his hand, "What is your reason for choosing me?" ”

"You have the most power and the highest wealth, but your connections are not as good as others, and you have weaknesses, and you care too much about your family."

Missidore slackened his brow, "I'm Italian. ”
