Chapter 125

I really don’t know, whose unlucky woman is this, that she can actually fall in love with a man like Leigh Gray?

But that can't be said. At least Leigh Gray is a member of the Gray family, and he is also the police chief...

Wait a minute...then why is he looking for Archibald?

Can't think about it, can't think about it, it's dirty, is this a big, wealthy family?

Arthur returned to the banquet. Feeling a little hungry, he took a few small cakes from the buffet table and ate them. One thing to say, these meals were really exquisite.

Nice to have a good cook.

Just when Arthur was lamenting that the food he had eaten before was not as good as this, an unexpected figure made him almost choke to death on the food in his mouth.

"Fuck! Special..." After finally swallowing, Arthur was about to speak, but quickly closed his mouth.

He took a few quick steps and came to the man's side, who was obviously also startled by Arthur's appearance.

However, there were many people around them at this time, and neither of them felt comfortable speaking directly. In the end, Arthur was the first to ask the businessman with whom he had chatted a few words before:
"Gentlemen, who is this?"

"Oh, Mr. Callahan, we just said you missed it. Okay, you caught up. Let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Tacitus Gilgo, the one I mentioned to you before. The boss of the mining company that is raising funds."

After hearing this, Arthur smiled and nodded in greeting:

"Ah, it turns out that this is Mr. Tacitus Gilgo. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!"

After saying that, Arthur shook hands firmly with Trelawney, who called himself Tacitus Gilgo. At the same time, Arthur also noticed the hand in his hand, which was obviously made of pure gold. .

Trelawny's current appearance is completely different from the tasteful gentleman he used to be. It shows in every aspect that he is a nouveau riche who has struck gold. He has a gold watch, a gold-framed monocle eye, and a gold wristband. Even now, he This dress is all fucking gilded.

Although he looks like a dog, could Arthur not know whether Trelawny really dug a gold mine?This guy clearly regards these wealthy businessmen here as gold mines to dig, but Arthur can see that Trelawney has really spent a lot of money this time.

"Mr. Callahan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Just now, several gentlemen told me that there is a new industrialist at today's banquet. I was originally regretting that I was not lucky enough to get to know him. Now, When I saw him, I was really surprised. I didn't expect Mr. Callahan to be so young?" Trelawney said naturally.

As a professional liar, Trelawney's professionalism is really impeccable. His current performance makes even Arthur suspicious. Could it be that this is really the first time they meet?

Arthur smiled and cooperated:
"Mr. Gilgo, I heard that you are looking for investors?"

Trelawney's answer was different from Arthur's imagination. He shook his head and said:
"About this, in fact, I have basically raised enough funds in the past two days, and now I almost no longer need new investors..."

Hearing what Trelawney said, several wealthy businessmen on the side who had just heard about this from the cannery owner began to say:
"Oh, how can funds be enough? It's not enough. Mr. Gilgo, you know, gold mining is a big business, and there is no harm in having more investors involved."

"That's right, and it's not just funds. Every time you have a powerful investor like us, it will be more convenient in other aspects!" "That's right..."

Faced with all the talk, Arthur persuaded the greedy businessmen of Trelawney. Although Arthur despised their short-sightedness in his heart, he also realized that the amount and scale of this scam would not be small.

Who says money and silk can move people's hearts? Human instinct is to pursue profit.

Seeing this situation, Arthur decided to help Trelawney, so he said:
"Mr. Gilgo, I am also very optimistic about your business. I wonder if you can do something about it and let me buy a few shares? It just so happens that I have some spare money on hand right now, and I am worried about how to go about it. Tweed.”

It can only be said that Terry Labor is indeed an experienced liar. After listening to what Arthur said, he immediately understood that Arthur was going to be his trustee, and he looked embarrassed. , said with an apologetic look:

"Oh, I'm really sorry, Mr. Callahan, you see, everyone is very enthusiastic about this investment, but our company only released so many shares this time..."

Arthur nodded, and he still insisted:

"Then do you think this is okay? Could you please contact me and ask those who have subscribed for the shares if they are willing to transfer the shares they bought to me at a price of US$2 per share? I want as much as there is..."

When they heard that Arthur was actually willing to pay a high price of 2 US dollars to hand over the shares to those who had already purchased the shares for only 1 US dollar, and he still wanted as much as he wanted, the surrounding businessmen suddenly became uproar.

"Isn't this bad? Mr. Callahan, although I am very grateful for your recognition of our company, our price is only $1 per share, and you are like this..." Trelawney still advised tactfully.

Others did not listen to Trelawny's reply at all. Those businessmen who had not yet purchased the shares were all thinking quickly in their minds about what they should do now to get a share of this cup with a guaranteed profit. soup.

After all, what a guy?There is no need to wait for dividends, you just buy it and make a profit. Once you buy it and resell it, the income will immediately increase by [-]%. No matter who is keeping this profit, they cannot just sit idly by and ignore it.

Among these uproarous businessmen, the most excited one was the owner of the canning factory who had subscribed for 1500 shares. Good guy, you made $1500 without doing anything?He was almost going crazy with joy at this moment.

Arthur looked at the group of businessmen with different expressions on their faces one by one. Some were regretful, some were excited, and some were obviously planning something, but among them, no one showed doubts.

After all, it is not uncommon in the West to discover gold and become rich overnight.

Although there are less of them now, they are still there.

During the initial gold rush, they had seen even more outrageous things than this, and many people who had subscribed for shares before said that they had personally visited the gold mine to inspect it, and found that it was indeed rich in reserves.

All this prevented them from suspecting that this was actually a scam.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, Arthur was ready to help Trelawny add another fire, so he said:
"As far as I know, the price of 1 US dollar per share is not high. In any case, I would like to ask Mr. Gilgo to help me find out. Of course, if anyone here wants to sell, you can also come to me. .”

The people present who held shares were unmoved when they heard what Arthur said. They thought, Callahan is the shrewd one, and he is eager to close this profitable business. If they are all fools, he can go ahead. Taking out?
Impossible, absolutely impossible, they will not take action even if they are killed, and they have to think of ways to get more.
