America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 471 Crisis is approaching
After leaving Denver, Chen Jianqiu planned to return to Lincolnshire.

There was originally a board meeting of the Pacific Railway Company in San Francisco, but Chen Jianqiu didn't have much interest in participating.

He misses his wife and son.

A few days later, the train slowly entered the railway station in Lincolnshire.

After Chen Jianqiu got off the train, he walked along the platform to the freight car, ready to fetch black carrots.

The train conductor is used to it.

Other rich people hugged each other before and after their trips, and their servants saddled their horses and horses, but his boss liked to do it himself. He often went out alone with a horse and at most an eagle.

However, he was still used to personally opening the door of the carriage carrying the black radish for Chen Jianqiu.

The boss doesn't pay attention to it, so I can't lose my eyesight.

"Mr. Chen, I'm going to change to another train starting next month." The train conductor handed the reins of the black radish to Chen Jianqiu's hand, and said respectfully.

After Chen Jianqiu took over the Pacific Railway Company, some integration was carried out between it and the Santa Fe Railway Company, and personnel are now interoperable.

"Oh?" Chen Jianqiu asked while arranging the black radish's saddle, "Which line is it?"

"Montrose to Salt Lake City." A sincere smile appeared on the conductor's face, "Stay closer to home, I'm from Utah."

"Oh, then congratulations."

Chen Jianqiu smiled back at him.

Home and hometown are always things that an adult can't get around. The longer he spends outside, the closer he wants to be closer to home.

He was just about to say goodbye to the conductor and leave when he suddenly thought of something.

Chen Jianqiu turned his head: "In my impression, isn't the construction of the last section of the railway suspended due to funding problems?"

"It has been completed, sir." The train conductor said with certainty, "I saw them complete it with my own eyes."

Chen Jianqiu nodded.

His expression didn't change much as before, but he already had seven or eight points in his heart.

Chen Jianqiu rode on the black radish and headed towards his villa outside Lincolnshire.

Before he reached the door of the house, he saw his three-year-old son chasing Sean around the courtyard wall with a branch in his hand.

After the black man came back from Oklaho, he thought he could continue to be the postmaster of Roswell, but he still had to come and play with the little devil most of the time.

"Peng Kun! Who do you think is back?" Camilla appeared outside the gate of the courtyard.

Her hair was tied high into a bun, compared to a few years ago, it was less enchanting and more charming.

Chen Jianqiu's son chased after Xiao En just at the height of his enthusiasm, and he didn't hear his mother's call.

Seeing that he was about to catch up with the black uncle in front, he hit his ass with a tree branch.

Suddenly, Xiao Pengkun was lifted into the air.

He struggled and waved his limbs with teeth and claws.

A face appeared in front of him.

"Daddy?" The little guy grinned.

"Boss!" Sean, who was sweating profusely from being chased, also turned his head.

Chen Jianqiu clamped his son in the creaking nest, and walked towards Camilla.

He gave his lover a big hug and a kiss.

Little Pengkun, who was caught in the trap, didn't know whether it was uncomfortable because of being caught, or because he was a little impatient with his parents' crookedness, and began to struggle again.

Chen Jianqiu slapped the little guy lightly on the buttocks, and then handed him into the hands of his wife who was crying loudly.

Sean stood where he was, looking at his eldest brother and sister-in-law silly and cheerful.

"Come on, come in, why are you standing there?" Chen Jianqiu raised his eyebrows at Xiao En.

"Hey, boss, you just came back, I disturb you, no, it's inappropriate." The black man grinned, his teeth were extremely white.

"Stop talking nonsense, come in quickly, I have something to ask you." After Chen Jianqiu finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the house.

The person in charge of security in the house is still the Chinese veteran from before.

But since he stood guard here, no one has made trouble here.

In addition, a chef and a nanny with children have been added.

The nanny was chosen by Zhang Danian. Although she has no culture, she is simple and reliable.

After all, Camilla is an orphan herself, so she really has no experience in raising children.

After Xiao Pengkun entered the house, he ran directly to the back garden, followed by the nanny and Camilla.

Chen Jianqiu took Xiao En into the study.

"Are there any documents sent by the Pacific Railway Company recently?" Chen Jianqiu asked while sitting in a chair.

"Yes, but I have already given Dylan a lawyer. He has been in Roswell for the past two days." Sean thought for a while and replied.

Chen Jianqiu picked up two cylindrical objects on the table.

In this era, the telephone handset and receiver were separated, without a dial pad, and the transfer was made through the operator. After the transfer was successful, the bell on the called party's side would ring.

"I'm Chen Jianqiu, help me pick up lawyer Dylan." Chen Jianqiu said into the microphone.

"Boss, I'm here, please give me instructions." Lawyer Dylan's voice quickly came from the other end of the receiver, professional and calm.

"Come here with Pacific Railway's latest report, financing records, and other business information." After Chen Jianqiu briefly explained, he hung up the phone.

Three days later, the lawyer appeared in Chen Jianqiu's study.

He was holding a box in his hand, which contained all the materials Chen Jianqiu needed.

"When will the railway from Montrose to Salt Lake City resume construction?" Chen Jianqiu scanned the information and asked.

"I also just received the news that our subsidiary in Utah raised a sum of money three months ago. In order to rush to open the traffic, we resumed construction without reporting." The lawyer sat on the chair opposite Chen Jianqiu, Said, "They plan to report it to the board of directors this time. Under normal circumstances, the head office will support such a construction."

"After all, for railways, time is money!" The lawyer pouted.

"These people have learned to kill first and play later." Chen Jianqiu sneered.

He knew that if no one in the board of directors of the head office gave permission to do so, the people below would not dare to do so with ten courage.

These are loans in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and if something goes wrong, it's a big deal.

Chen Jianqiu put aside the information about this railway, and then began to look at the report and financing information.

The more he looked, the tighter his frown became.

The company's debt has reached a very high level, and financing methods are emerging in an endless stream. In addition to loans and bonds, the subsidiaries below have even started private financing and lending.

On another map handed to him by the lawyer, there are as many as dozens of railways that the Pacific Railway Company will build and plan to build.

After Chen Jianqiu finished reading, he put these things aside, then put them on the table with his fingers crossed, and looked at the lawyer.

"Lawyer Dylan, you and the people at the center, didn't you warn about these situations?" he asked.

The lawyer froze for a moment, then shook his head:

"No, our team doesn't think there is much problem with such a decision. After all, all railway companies do this now."

He handed another document to Chen Jianqiu.

Almost all railway companies are frantically building railways, spreading their own railway network to every corner of the United States.

Correspondingly, the purchase volume of steel is also increasing.

People never tire of investing in railroad companies.

Therefore, the lawyer believes that financing at this time does have his basis.

But Chen Jianqiu fell silent.

Combined with what happened in the Silver Association before, he feels that these overheated states are all dangerous signals.

After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke to the lawyer:

"Starting from this month, Sanjiang Bank will stop providing any form of loan and financing support to the Pacific Railway Company."
