A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 132 See Tricks and Tricks
Arthur understood that Old Frank and the others were not to blame for this matter. They were prepared and just came to get him.

After all, Old Frank is not doing a one-shot deal, and there is nothing wrong with his handling method, even if someone cheats on your territory, so what?If you can't catch you, you have to let people go with the money.

In any case, it was impossible for Frank to do anything on his own territory. Obviously, he had calculated exactly this point.

When he heard that one of his people was dead, Arthur tried his best not to show his anger. He still maintained a calm look and asked:
"Has the soothing blond hair gone?"

"What solatium?" Old Frank asked doubtfully. It wasn't that he didn't understand the meaning of the word Arthur said, but he was questioning whether they actually had such a thing?

Don't those who work as guards these days get paid on time, and if they die, they will be considered incompetent?

Arthur understood what Old Frank meant as soon as he heard what he said, but Arthur had to do better, because he knew very well that if you want people to work for you, you can't be stingy with money, and you can never just win people's hearts. By drawing cakes.

Arthur ordered seriously:

"Hurry up and deal with this matter first. Everyone will give them comfort money according to the five-year salary standard. Those who have family members will give it to their family members. If you have one, you will give it to your parents. If you don't have any...then you go to church. Choose a good place for him and help him take care of his funeral affairs."

Looking at the surprised expressions of everyone present, Arthur continued:

"Then, make a list and give it to me. If their family has difficulties in their future life, let them come to me and I will solve it for them. Remember, do it beautifully."

Old Frank frowned and asked:

"Are you sure? Arthur, this is a lot of money."

After hearing what her father said, Vera glared at him with disgust. In her opinion, Arthur was right to do this. Not only could it win over the hearts of his subordinates, but it could also make other people... More willing to work for Arthur.

How can the subordinates be unwilling to follow a boss who considers his employees in this way?

They are all begging for food under the hands of others. Everyone is willing to work with a boss who thinks about themselves and has a future.

Arthur answered Old Frank's question seriously:

"Don't care about money, money is always just a means to achieve an end, not our purpose!".
Everyone was convinced by Arthur's words. After all, Arthur was also their boss, and they were happy to see Arthur treat his subordinates like this.

"I understand, boss." Vera nodded seriously, and then she left with old Frank who wanted to persuade him a few more words.

Arthur took out a cigarette from his pocket, and as soon as he put it in his mouth, Greco stretched out the fire. Arthur glanced at him, and then lowered his head to ignite the cigarette. After taking a deep breath, Looking at the smoke exhaled, Arthur continued to speak to Greco:
"Go and fetch the foreman."

Greco put the extinguished match into his pocket, frowned and replied:
"I think the foreman might be reluctant to leave the camp."

Arthur nodded, nodded at Greco casually and said:

"Wait for the evening, take two people with you, and you can go together."

Hearing what Arthur said, Greco immediately understood what kind of 'please' method Arthur was talking about.

Greco nodded, seeing that Arthur only said how to deal with the workers' problems, but he knew very well that even if Arthur had a way to solve the workers' problems, it would still not be enough. There were also issues of equipment and money that urgently needed solutions. solve.

Now that the equipment has been bombed, the company cannot start work, and they still need to pay for the equipment purchased before.

So, Greco asked again:
"What about the equipment? And where is the insurance company?"

Arthur nodded and said:

"Come one piece at a time. When the work is finished, you can go there immediately and find the previous equipment dealer. We will buy a new set of equipment."

"What about the money?"

"Tell them truthfully that the equipment has been maliciously damaged. You go with the insurance contract. I believe this can make them believe that we are able to pay and that the ready-made oil fields are there. You reassure them and will not let them You can't get paid." Although Arthur said this, he actually understood that this was still an uncertain matter. Whether it could be achieved or not depended on Greco's negotiating ability. There was no way around it, no matter what. , oilfield companies must start production as soon as possible!
The current situation may continue to deteriorate.

Cornwall is staring at Arthur's financial resources to carry out a comprehensive attack, so in Arthur's view, those irregular businesses may no longer bring him stable income in the short term, but unfortunately, Arthur is now But it is a situation where money is very much needed, so he needs to spend money.

Therefore, Arthur must now rely on serious oil field companies to provide him with continuous and stable income.

After hearing Arthur's arrangement, Greco knew in his heart that Arthur had left this difficult matter to him to handle.Greco is not sure whether Arthur can survive this storm, but he is willing to do his own job and try his best.

Although he couldn't guarantee anything to Arthur, Greco also heard what Arthur said just now. He could feel that if Arthur could survive it, he would definitely be a good boss. In the end, I can only tell Arthur that he will work hard.

Finally, after Greco reaffirmed some details with Arthur, he also left the office.

At this time, Morris was the only one left in Arthur's office, huddled in the corner.

Arthur put out his cigarette and said to Morris:
"Don't pretend to be dead for me. Your question...since you just borrowed money, does that mean you can still find those people?"

Morris nodded quickly.

After Arthur was sure that Morris could really find these people, he asked him to continue to stay in the corner. He didn't care why these people didn't disappear immediately after they succeeded, and why they stayed here waiting for Morris to get the money. To redeem, these are not important to Arthur. As long as he can find someone, wouldn't it be easier for Arthur to handle it?
Arthur ignored Morris who was staying in the corner. He could put his affairs aside for now.

At the moment, Arthur has explained the preliminary countermeasures to everything. Now he is sitting quietly on the sofa, waiting for Charlie to come over with the casino guards.

Now Arthur's heart is actually not as calm as he shows.

Regarding Kieran's disappearance, Arthur was actually very anxious in his heart. Although he knew that being anxious was useless, he still couldn't help but speculate about some bad situations...

Arthur finally told himself not to think about it. He still tried hard to restrain himself and did not show his anxiety. After all, it would only make others panic.

And now, panic is the emotion that Arthur least wants to see. In Arthur's heart, he has already acquiesced that Cornwall must have done this, but he still considered whether there is still a possibility here. Did someone else do it to me?

The Grays?Or is it the Bravest family, which they have never met before?

"..."

"Arthur, eat something. I went to town to buy this." Mary Beth placed a plate of bread and some thinly sliced ​​bacon in front of Arthur.

Regarding the current situation, Mary Beth was also very flustered, obviously she had only been away from Valentine for a few days, yet so many accidents happened.

I really don’t know how Arthur can face this so calmly, Marybeth thought.

Marybeth also knew that she might not be able to help, so she didn't bother Arthur after putting down the food.

"Thank you." Arthur said to Mary Beth. Looking at the food in front of him, he realized that he didn't seem to have eaten anything today.

Arthur picked up a piece of cut bread, put a piece of bacon on top and put it into his mouth. After taking a few bites, he suddenly realized a problem.

Now that Greco and Morris have learned about his return, what about Malloy?It was obviously impossible for him not to know that he was back until now.

So, what about Malloy and others?
Thinking of this, Arthur quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and was about to ask Mary Beth if she had seen the Sheriff in town, but he did not expect to accidentally choke on the food.

"Cough, cough—"

"Arthur? Come, drink some water." Mary Beth looked at Arthur who was choked, with an expression on her face that she had seen something funny. She handed the water to Arthur and said jokingly:
"Swallow before you talk. Even little Jack knows not to talk while eating, otherwise he will choke easily. You are not even as good as little Jack~"

After Arthur drank half a glass of water, he finally felt the food stuck in his throat slide down the esophagus. Listening to Marybeth comparing himself with Little Jack, he said humorously:
"If you say that, then I have to ask little Jack for advice next time he comes?"

"Pfft." Marybeth was amused by Arthur's answer.

For a moment, this small episode seemed to dissolve the two people's originally depressed mood.

In the corner, Morris, who was still looking here, raised his hand and whispered:
"Did you forget that I'm still here?"

"roll!"

"Ah, okay."

"Come back, I didn't let you go, go to the corner and stay here for me!" Arthur said speechlessly.
