When the two walked out of the meeting room, Lefraque and the others stared at Missitor with twinkling eyes, but he ignored it, followed Russell straight to Aster's side, and shook hands with him very friendly.

Lefraque and the others were all stunned and dumbfounded.

They didn't expect Missitor to go back on his word at this time, and they had already said before, how could they be called to the meeting room by the unsinkable hero Mr. Walker.

This makes Lefraque and others very passive...

Next, Astor and Missidor expressed their happy cooperation in front of everyone, and personally said that they would help Russell, he had only been in the United States for a few days, and he didn't know much about some things, especially business.

Missitas smiled and said, "Mr. Walker has taught me a lot, let's learn from each other." ”

The three of them laughed.

In the afternoon, Astor and Missitó went to meet the main customer and offered a reserve price that would satisfy everyone.

"Monsieur Astor, do you know what Lefrack is offering? You only paid 100,000 dollars more than them. ”

Astor didn't answer, but said, "One hundred thousand dollars, invite the gentlemen of Boston to drink." ”

evening

Russell was eating at the restaurant, and Astor and the two hadn't returned yet.

At this moment Lefrack came over, and without waiting for Russell to invite him to a seat, he sat down opposite Russell, and stared at him with angry eyes.

"Monsieur Lefrac, why do you look at me like that?"

"What did you talk about with Missitdo? As soon as we went to the quotation on the front foot, Astor knew our reserve price on the back foot... It's only 100,000 dollars more than us..."

"What does this have to do with me? It only shows that your friendship with Missitus is not in place, and Missitor prefers to get along with us in comparison. ”

"What the hell are you..."

Russell frowned, looked up at him, and said, "Mr. Lefrach, please don't get excited. Maybe you should think about how much you can get out of these projects. ”

"Astor will leave us some soup?"

Russell smiled: "It's not a mouthful of soup, but it's enough for you to deal with food and clothing." ”

Le Flac was stunned when he heard this, rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions just now, please don't mind." I... What kind of project will Mr. Astor leave me? ”

"You're going to ask him."

Lefrac shook his head slowly, "Mr. Astor is very powerful, I almost put him behind my back, and it seems a little embarrassing to meet him now." ”

Russell pointed at him and smiled: "You are not a pure businessman, because you don't have the shameless spirit of a businessman!" ”

"You! … I just want to make money, I don't want to make enemies. ”

"You have similar ideas, let's get acquainted again? Russell Walker. ”

"Johns Lefrack."

The two talked a lot in the restaurant.

The conversation was all about architectural projects, with Lefraque wanting the project at Boston's Three Arena and asking Russell to say a few words for him in front of Astor.

Russell refused on the spot, and he wasn't a fucking mouthpiece, wouldn't he say it himself?

Then the voice changed and said, "I will ask Mr. Astor to have another meeting to negotiate the profit sharing of the project..."

"Okay, thank you very much! Mr. Walker, you are a discerning businessman. ”

Russell said: "I'm not an orthodox businessman, because my business is mixed with pity, do you know the survivors of the Titanic?" ”

"I've heard in the newspapers that you've found them a place to live, Mr. Walker, and you're going to give them a job?"

"Yes, now they are working for my construction company, but the construction business is not good..."

Lefraque said: "You are so kind, if there is a need to use it, I am willing to do my part. ”

"You're a great guy too!"

"Thank you."

If you want to make money in the United States, you will inevitably contact gangs, regular customers, labor associations, and wealthy businessmen......

So Russell had already thought of a development route, first settling the survivors and their families, and then setting up companies, associations...

At night

Astor returns, and has a celebration with Russell for only two people.

He has signed a project contract with the government, a total of 13 construction projects, the design drawings have been drawn a long time ago, and they are waiting for the workers to enter the site to start work.

"Of these projects, I will only keep six, and the remaining seven will be handed over to you. You can make friends with them, and you can also use them to make huge profits. ”

"Mr. Astor, you're sending me money."

Astor smiled: "I really gave you gold and banknotes, I am afraid that you will dislike it and have bad thoughts about me, this kind of gift will ease your acceptance a lot." ”

Russell laughed: "If you really give me the gold banknote, I will definitely accept it on the spot!" Who doesn't love the smell of banknotes? ”

"Haha..."

Two days later, at noon.

Hotel Banquet Hall.

Russell personally sent invitations to Lefrack and Missisito, signed by himself, without Astor's name.

But there were only five of them...

In addition to Lefraque and Missitso, there are three other real estate developers, all from Vancouver, Washington and Los Angeles.

This is also the reason why they don't dare to go head-to-head with Astor, how can the wolves from afar bite the tigers on the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that the other three have no intention of cooperating with me, and it is really a pity that I have never done real estate construction business when I first arrived, and I wanted to share ...... with them."

Missitor laughed and said, "Isn't that just cheaper for us?" I didn't expect Mr. Astor to be so generous. ”

"No, Mr. Astor has already handed me the rest of the project."

"Mr. Walker?!" Lefraque was a little excited.

"You?!"

Russell smiled, "Yes." ”

Missitor rolled his eyes and said, "So Mr. Walker is so generous!" How much will you give us? ”

"I'll just need one project, and I'll give you the rest!"

"What?"

The five of them were a little surprised, and they didn't know how to express their feelings at the moment.

"You, why are you doing that?"

Russell smiled, "I want to make friends with you, can't I?" ”

Lefraque said: "We're already friends, aren't we? Mr. Walker. ”

"Of course!"

Russell glanced at the five men, then took a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, handed the cigarette case down, and each took out a cigarette and lit it.

Russell watched their actions and nodded in satisfaction.

"But I have a request."

Everyone felt that it was very reasonable for him to have a request, after all, no one would really be so generous.

"I want you to join my association and have your workers join my subordinate unions."

"What association?"

Russell said: "I want to start the Titanic Survivors Rescue Association, as well as the Boston Builders Association, the Construction Workers Association. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Warm up! You're all outsiders from Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., etc., and you're not native to the United States, and I'm from the UK...... If we want to survive in the United States of America, we must unite! ”

"I have a strong network of contacts, Yin Sido will introduce me to regular customers, Astor will support me in business, and Guggenheim will give me resources...... You guys, understand? ”

Misido, Lefrac and the others looked at each other in astonishment at the young man sitting in the main seat.

I didn't expect him to know so many celebrities......

Yin Sido was a member of the New York legislature, and although the Guggenheim was a playboy who was out of tune, he played in the bank and had a lot of resources in his hands. Astor is a well-known inventor and real estate tycoon in the United States......

"I, I do!" Missidore said through gritted teeth.

Lefraque said: "I would too! ”

"Yes!"

“……”

All five agreed, and no one objected.

"Excellent! Now, let's divide the spoils... Oh no, it's a profit-sharing project. ”

"Haha... Good. The crowd laughed.

There were seven projects, with Russell leaving the baseball field and the remaining six divided equally among them.

Missitor and Lefraque proposed that since the projects were provided to them by Russell, they would give Russell some profits, commonly known as kickbacks and referral fees.

In the end, it was decided to give 10% of the net profit to Russell.

Of course, he will not have an opinion, this is all legal gain, why not give money for nothing.

In the next few days, Russell and Astor and others agreed on the process and date for the start of the project.

By the way, I spent a few days in a hotel near Harvard University, and I have to say that those who engage in architecture at any time prefer college students.

Back to New York.

Russell began to build the Society, first going to Mrs. Brown to pick up Ruth, and talking to Mrs. Brown about the Rescuers' Association.

She was very interested in this and told Russell that she wanted to join in and do something for the survivors and their families to help them get through this difficult time.

Russell couldn't put all his mind on the association, so he needed a manager. Mrs. Brown had no problem with her abilities, and if she were to preside over the Survivor Rescue Society, it would certainly make Russell easier.

Moreover, Mrs. Brown had to act in his name, because the suppression of women in the United States was still not loose, and although there were many women advocating feminism, their voices were very small.

Most women are full-time housewives at home, and few come out to show their heads, which will not only cause criticism, but also make the men in the family lose face.

That's why Mrs. Brown and her husband got into trouble.

So, she is very experienced.

In Mrs. Brown's opinion, if she could do things in Russell's name, it would be much less troublesome, it would be much easier to act, and it would be nice to be able to help the survivors with all her heart, and she didn't want to be famous...

He is indeed a great man.

With Mrs. Brown's help, the Society was soon formed, and at first there were only about 200 people who joined the Survivors' Association, but within a few days the number of people who helped the Society reached 600!

Russell served as president, and celebrities such as Aster, Yinsido, and Guggenheim were suspended as honorary vice presidents, but Mrs. Brown was not suspended, and she was an assistant to the president......

Russell also made up the builders' association, with only six members at the beginning, but there were more than 4,000 subordinate construction unions, and these people were not only registered workers of Russell's construction company, but also workers in Missitor, Lefraque and other companies.

It also has a lot of influence in Boston...

When the guests learned about the establishment of the association, they were all shocked.

They didn't expect that the young man who was following Astor would have such courage and courage!

He sent telegrams to Russell for several days, inviting him to a party in Boston, but Russell refused on the grounds that he was busy with work.

At this time, going to Boston is to die, and those regular guests will snatch his association away, and digest it cleanly, and there will be no hair left for him!

As for the Survivor Rescue Association, it will not be robbed, because most of the members are celebrities and nobles, who would dare to rob it?
