Chapter 643: A Transaction More Than Ten Years Ago
Harriman's driver was indeed wronged.
The "little Rockefeller" he saw at the door of the Masonic salon was John J. D. Rockefeller's younger brother, Danny Rockefeller, who disappeared in the West.
Chen Jianqiu first met him in a pub in Denver more than a decade ago.
At that time, Boss Chen happened to attend a party of the Western Silver Association, and planned to go to the tavern for two drinks before returning to Roswell.
Then his attention was drawn to Danny, who was drinking at the bar.
When Chen Jianqiu and Astor Jr. were pit Roswell's land together, they had a relationship with Rockefeller Jr.
The cowboy in front of him who was drinking was too much like the person he had met before.
Even if the man was now full of beard and filth, like a cowboy who had just come out of the stable.
But the hands of this man holding wine glasses don't look like he has been dealing with cattle and horses all year round.
Danny also spotted the Chinese man not far away who was focusing on him.
He immediately put down his glass, tossed a few coins at the bar, and then turned and walked out the back door of the tavern.
Danny returned to his farm, packed up and walked out the door, ready to run away.
He saw Chen Jianqiu sitting at the wooden table in front of the room.
A gleaming revolver was placed on the table, the bullet nest dismantled aside, and bullets stood in a row next to the pistol.
Chen Jianqiu took out a piece of cloth from the pocket of his clothes and a small bottle of gun oil.
He picked up the gun parts on the table and began to wipe them with a cloth.
Danny's subordinate tentatively touched his waist.
"If I were you, I wouldn't have thought of pulling out that gun." Chen Jianqiu continued to wipe the gun without raising his head, "I don't want to open a few more holes in you." ”
"Although it's in the suburbs here, but you shot it, and if you want to leave easily, I'm afraid it's not that easy."
Danny caught a glimpse of another revolver at Chen's waist, and then looked at the other cowboys who were surrounding him in the distance.
"Haven't you been here for a long time? Brothers? Chen Jianqiu polished the gun, then formed it at a speed that Danny couldn't see, and began to stuff bullets into it one by one.
"The farm was originally inhabited by a group of Chinese, but they moved away, so you can ask what happened at that time."
Chen Jianqiu looked at the familiar houses around him with some emotion.
He pointed to the cowboys who stopped a few dozen meters from here, stopped to watch:
"If you're expecting them to take care of you, you're probably overthinking."
These cowboys were able to survive in the west, and they all developed a skill.
They can tell who is easy to mess with and who is not.
"Do we have any holidays?" Danny asked, squinting.
"No, though, my advice to you is that you can sit down and talk."
Chen Jianqiu inserted the gun back into the holster and pointed to the chair across the table.
"What's your relationship with Rockefeller Jr.? John S. D. Rockefeller II. ”
"I don't know him." Danny shook his head, "I haven't heard the name. ”
"Is there anyone in Cleveland who doesn't know Rockefeller?"
Chen Jianqiu pointed to the letters "Cleveland" in the lower right corner of Danny's bag.
"Are they famous?" Danny is still trying to get by, his mouth is perfunctory, but his brain is racing, thinking of a way.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know me, I'm just a little interested in what you look like."
Chen Jianqiu saw that Danny was still pretending to be stupid and cute, and he understood that his inner guess was afraid that it would not be far from ten.
This man has a lot to do with the Rockefeller family.
"I have a bit of a friendship with Mr. Rockefeller, although not deep, but I believe he should be very interested in this matter, there is a man who looks very much like his son."
"I am his son."
Danny knew that it was impossible for him to hide from the world and get out of the world today, and confessed.
"Huh? How do I remember that Rockefeller only had one son? Chen Jianqiu was a little strange.
He had the impression that Rockefeller Jr. was the only son in the family, and he had several older sisters and younger sisters.
"I was born out of wedlock and had just been stripped of my Rockefeller surname." Danny's voice was low.
Hiss~
Chen Jianqiu couldn't help but take a breath.
I can't imagine that a thick-eyed and big-eyed Puritans like the old Rockefeller are also engaged in wiping guns.
"Looks like you have a story, so why don't you sit down and tell me about it?" Perhaps, I can help you. ”
Chen Jianqiu didn't know where to do a trick, so he took out a small steel wine jar and put it on the table.
I have wine, do you have a story?
Danny put down his bag and sat down across from Chen Jianqiu.
He told Chen Jianqiu about his own affairs.
However, the version of the story is not quite the same as what Rockefeller Jr. told Eva at home.
Danny is the illegitimate son of the elder Rockefeller and the hotel waitress.
Old Rockefeller gave the woman a sum of money, took Danny over, and recognized Laura as his mother.
However, due to Danny's improper background, there has been no too high-profile publicity to the outside world.
What the old man thought, Danny didn't know, it seemed that he had unusually complicated feelings for himself.
But he understands one thing, the future of this family belongs to little Rockefeller, because no matter how good he is, the old man will knock him from time to time, and at the same time will not give him a very good face.
But Danny didn't die of this heart.
After another suspected act of forcing the palace, the old Rockefeller finally couldn't help it.
Father and son had a big fight.
Danny walked away angrily, and the elder Rockefeller didn't even mention his son.
"Silly, how good it is to lie flat for a white-collar job in a family fund." Chen Jianqiu pursed his lips, "You see that I don't have this opportunity, I get up early every day and touch the dark, and when I open my eyes, there is a group of people who want to eat." ”
"You can't understand how an illegitimate child survives in that family." Danny's voice was low, "Because of that money, my biological mother doesn't recognize me, and I have no choice but to get ahead." ”
"Then why are you running west incognito now?" Chen Jianqiu was a little puzzled.
"There's not much hope." Danny sighed, "Moreover, I dare not stay with my father anymore. ”
"If you've seen what my father did, you'll know that you can't tell what he did, even to your own loved ones." He added.
Chen Jianqiu was noncommittal.
Danny seems to have a bit of a grudge against his father, but at the same time he doesn't see through his father.
The elder Rockefeller probably couldn't do anything more extreme to his family; And his feelings for Danny are not as simple as he thinks.
However, what does this have to do with him Chen Jianqiu?
"I might be able to help you." Chen Jianqiu handed the wine to Danny, "I can help you regain the power of the Rockefeller family." ”
"You?" Danny turned the wine jar and glanced at Chen Jianqiu suspiciously.
"Yes, but you need to prepare a lot of things, and at the same time, you have to wait for a good time."
Chen Jianqiu said.
"But before that, I would suggest you move to Roswell, where you at least don't have to worry about all sorts of threats from the West."
"Why are you helping me?" Danny asked.
"I need someone with whom I can communicate normally to join the Rockefeller family." Chen Jianqiu was blunt.
"Deal!"
After a moment of silence, Danny craned his neck and drank most of the half-jar.
