Chapter 317: The Best Candidate for a Bank Manager in the Western Region
After seeing off Riemantool, Chen Jianqiu chose to set off and return immediately.
And the things here, he directly handed over to Zhang Danian, who came with those Chinese.
He assigned the old man an interpreter.
Anyway, don't worry about other things for the time being, let the Chinese put their feet down first.
Chen Jianqiu first went to Albuquerque to hold a board meeting and listen to the construction plan of the Lincolnshire-Roswell part of the railway;
Then take the first train from Albuquerque to Lincolnshire, and when you arrive at your destination, cut the ribbon on the new Lincolnshire railway station;
The inhabitants of Lincolnshire cheered.
They understood what the railroad meant to the town.
The roar of a steam train will break the tranquility of the western world, but it will also bring rolling wealth.
If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't found where Chen Jianqiu was, they would definitely throw this yellow-skinned businessman aloft, and the more they looked at this person, the whiter his complexion became.
Of course, there are also people who are envious and jealous, and they often gather in the taverns of the town to slander Chen Jianqiu for stealing the wealth that originally belonged to the townspeople.
He must have been a shameful thief, otherwise a yellow man would not have been able to achieve such an achievement.
If you are a governor or a prosecutor, you will definitely do your best to investigate this person; If there were hundreds of heroes with guns under his command, Chen Jianqiu would definitely be unable to eat and walk around.
However, it was enough to say these words, and no one dared to really go to Chen Jianqiu.
Because none of them are governors, no one is prosecutors, and no one has hundreds of people under them.
But Chen Jianqiu has.
But for these, Chen Jianqiu didn't care about it at all.
A few minutes after the ribbon cut, he showed up at his big cottage in Lincolnshire to meet with Daddy James, president of the Lincolnshire branch of the Glench Society.
Discuss the transportation and sale of their own agricultural products after the opening of the railway.
After sending James' father away, Chen Jianqiu didn't even have time to rest.
Attorney Dylan had already walked in with a pile of papers:
"Boss, the license for the bank has been approved by the state court, the office has been renovated, the personnel have been recruited, and Astor is looking for a fairly experienced manager for us."
In this era, the second bank of the United States has gone offline, and the Federal Reserve has not yet appeared.
There are many kinds of banks, especially state banks.
As long as you have a little reputation in the local area and a certain amount of strength, you can apply to the state government to set up a bank with an address.
Chen Jianqiu was actually a little tired.
He sat in his chair and didn't look through the materials that Attorney Dylan had handed him on his desk:
"Lawyer, this bank is run by you from beginning to end, just go and get it, just bring the manager over to show me later."
The lawyer nodded and waved out the door.
A strong man of Danny's height and size walked in.
He had a beard, curly brown hair, and a not-so-large scar on his forehead.
His suit was bulging with muscles, as if it was about to burst out at any moment.
"Boss, my name is Greg Okafor!" The man's figure sounded very majestic, and his eyes were bright and sharp.
Chen Jianqiu played with a pen in his hand, glanced at Okafor, and then at the lawyer.
The meaning is obvious.
Is this guy really a bank manager? When I look at it horizontally and vertically, it is far from the bank practitioners of that era in my impression.
If the person in front of you is a cowboy, a bandit or a butcher, maybe it would be more appropriate?
Especially the gun cocoon in his hand, I'm afraid I don't know how many people have been sent away.
Seeing Chen Jianqiu's doubts, the lawyer immediately walked to the table and pulled out Okafor's resume from the stack of materials.
Chen Jianqiu glanced at it.
This product is actually from Citibank!
"He was an associate manager at Citibank's Dodge City branch." The lawyer was afraid that Chen Jianqiu would not have the patience to watch, and added.
"And you know Wyatt Upp?" Chen Jianqiu looked down at his resume and asked.
"Yes, he was the sheriff there at the time." Okafor replied.
"I've heard that place is chaotic?" Chen Jianqiu raised his head and put his resume aside.
"Yes, bank robberies are commonplace."
Okafor spoke lightly, as if it were like eating and drinking.
He paused and continued, "Boss, there's something I want to tell you in advance, I once went to jail, and it was Sheriff Wyatt who arrested me. ”
Chen Jianqiu lit a cigar, waved his hand and dusted off his cigarette, motioning for him to continue.
"Got involved in a shootout and I mistakenly killed an unlucky passerby, if you mind, I can go find the next home."
Okafor said without humility or arrogance, his chin slightly raised, ready to be rejected, because no one wanted to hire someone with a criminal record as a bank manager.
However, he is not good at concealment.
"Wyatt is with me now." Chen Jianqiu said casually.
There was no one in the room talking anymore and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Do you practice?" Chen Jianqiu asked suddenly.
"Sorry! Boss! Didn't understand! Okafor replied truthfully.
"I mean, do you exercise regularly?" Chen Jianqiu had to take apart the words one by one and asked.
"Yes! Boss! ”
"You know how to use a gun, right?"
"Report to the boss! After graduating from school, I served in the Federal Army before moving on to my current profession! Okafor stood up straighter.
He held his head high, and the buttons on the shirt were about to burst out.
"You've been hired!" Chen Jianqiu flipped his resume over and stuffed it into the trash.
He walked over to Okafor's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"Take it easy, when you join the company, you'll find that with us, it's not a big deal to go to a cell."
Chen Jianqiu left the stunned Okafor and returned to his table:
"Lawyer, please put these materials on the table! I was still in a hurry to get back to Roswell, and it was said that Maxim had something new to show me. ”
I'm too tired, this time is all continuous rotation, even if the energy is as strong as him, I can't bear it.
"No need! Old! I'm coming! Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
After a while, Camila and Makqin appeared at the door of the office.
They were followed by several men, carrying a machine gun covered in cloth.
Camilla leaned her back against the door, crossed her hands over her chest, and nodded slightly at the inventor: "I brought him with me when I came." ”
"Your brother has succeeded in developing smokeless gunpowder?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at Makqin.
"It worked, but not completely." Makqin thought for a moment and replied.
Chen Jianqiu had an urge to hit someone.
He looked at Makqin with a smile.
Seeing that his smile was a little crazy, Ma Qin didn't dare to sell Guan Zi again:
"Chen, really as you said, the power of smokeless gunpowder is much greater, and the problems of insufficient chamber pressure are basically solved, and my modification has also been completed, this is one of the two prototype guns, and the other is in Roswell."
Makqin proudly pointed to the cloth-covered machine gun behind him and the small box of bullets next to him.
"It's just that now there is a little less ammunition and a little less stability, and Browning and my brother are trying to solve the problem of stability and mass production."
Makqin lifted the cloth and pointed out and explained the changes to Chen Jianqiu.
Chen Jianqiu gave a thumbs up.
"Do you want to try it now?" The inventor asked.
"If you have tried, you don't have to try, and when the ammunition is steadily produced, I will deal with the problem of mass production and sales."
However, this machine gun, he does not plan to carry it back to Roswell for the time being, where to put it?
Chen Jianqiu suddenly pointed at Okafor:
"Let's carry it into the bank vault first, it should be safer there."
After everyone left, Chen Jianqiu dealt with some personal letters and documents from the ordnance factory.
By the time all this was done, it was getting late.
He glanced apologetically at Camilla, who was silently waiting.
Since the last time Juarez separated, the two haven't seen each other for a long time.
Chen Jianqiu stretched his waist and grimaced at Camilla:
"I'm so busy, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight."
Camila lazily untied the hairstring that tied her hair, and smiled at the corner of her mouth:
"Want to sleep soundly tonight? Not necessarily. ”
