A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 203 Please call me Mr. Morgan

After the two visited the actual laying of the oil pipeline, Miller smiled and asked:

"How about it? Isn't the person who came up with this method amazing? A single pipe and a one-time payment can save all subsequent shipping costs."

Arthur nodded. Indeed, the first person to think of this idea and put it into practice was really awesome. He said:
"But if you are laying an oil pipeline, you need to go through other people's land, right?"

Miller took a serious look and sighed in his heart, there is indeed something about this Arthur Callahan, and he can accurately grasp the key points every time.

Miller took off his gloves and threw them aside. He took out a document from the briefcase he carried and handed it to Arthur, and said:
"Indeed, so we are planning to establish an independent joint company. This is the plan. Mr. Callahan, you can take a look first."

Arthur took the plan and looked at the thick stack of paper. He really didn't know where to start. He turned to the first page and looked at the dense text and some professional terms on it. It really made Arthur's scalp numb when he saw it, but Miller was opposite, so Arthur pretended to turn over a few pages before he closed the plan and said:

"Well, I'll take a closer look when I get back. Mr. Miller, if it's convenient, you can give me a brief introduction first."

Miller nodded. He originally asked Arthur to read it first. This was just a common saying. Everyone would throw plans like this to accountants and lawyers. He asked Arthur if he wanted to drink something. While smiling he said:

"We can discuss the details of the plan later. I think Mr. Callahan may not know why yet. I will find you, right?"

Miller's words indeed hit the point that Arthur had been thinking about. From that letter to Miller's visit, the so-called Joint Crude Oil Protection Association has been showing goodwill to Arthur.

Arthur has always been wary of this. After all, there will be people there who will chase you and give you benefits.

"Yes, if Mr. Miller is willing to explain it to me, then I think our subsequent cooperation, or other things, will go more smoothly."

After Arthur rejected the suggestion of something to drink, Miller made himself a cup of black tea. Although this was just a simple manager's cabin on the construction site, Miller still prepared a set of exquisite English tea sets.

After refilling his porcelain cup, Miller said:
"Mr. Callahan, you may not know that Mr. Walli is also a member of our association, so we have been paying attention to the conflict between you and Leviticus Cornwall for a long time. To be honest, we were not optimistic about your ability at the time. Withstand the blow from Cornwall.”

When Arthur heard what Miller said, he pretended to be emotional:

"Mr. Walli, it's such a pity. However, according to what you said, he is also a member of your association. So I would like to ask, why didn't you help Mr. Walli in the first place?"

Miller gently took a sip of the black tea in the porcelain cup and said: "Mr. Callahan, why didn't we help him? Money, people, technology, all the support we could give him, we gave him all, otherwise you think Wa How did Mr. Li’s company not fall into Cornish’s hands until you came to take it away?”

At this point, Miller changed the subject and continued:
"Mr. Callahan, you have done a great job. Without the support of our association, you not only withstood the blow from Cornwall, but also successfully got the company back into operation and still made a good profit. We need Companions, but we need capable partners more. The oil industry is very deep, and although the profits are high, the risks are greater. I explain it this way, can you understand?"

Arthur nodded, and he signaled to Miller that he wanted to smoke a cigarette. After getting Miller's indication that he didn't mind, Arthur held the cigarette in his mouth and said:
"Let me temporarily believe that this is all what you said, but I still can't understand your reasons for fighting Cornwall and your hatred for Cornwall. No businessman will refuse benefits. I have heard that In this sentence, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Please forgive me for not seeing that you really have any essential conflict of interest."

Arthur's words "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests" made Miller put down the porcelain cup in his hand and clapped his hands gently after listening to it. He said in agreement:

"Yes, you are right, Mr. Callahan. The purchase price that Mr. Cornish offered us is very good, and the money is very easy to make. But you also said that no businessman will refuse benefits. Likewise, There is no businessman who doesn’t want to expand and make more money. It’s a pity that Mr. Cornwall is blocking us.”

Arthur looked at Miller, who had always been very gentlemanly, and suddenly spoke so bluntly as a philistine. For a moment, he thought it was quite interesting. His words were rough and unreasonable, blocking people's way of making money. It was like killing his parents. How could money be there? Earn enough?
Well, Arthur believed this reason, he said:
"It seems that I haven't asked Mr. Miller yet, what position do you hold in your association?"

"Ah? Didn't I say that when I introduced myself? I'm really sorry, but I'm just a director."

After hearing that someone like Miller was just a director, Arthur couldn't help wondering what kind of person the president of this association was.

As if he guessed what Arthur was thinking, Miller continued with a smile:

"Our president is a very interesting person. You will be able to meet him after you join the association. Then you can get to know him by yourself. How about it? Mr. Callahan, are you willing to join us?"

Arthur nodded and said in a joking tone:

"Mr. Miller, please call me Mr. Morgan. Come and get acquainted with Arthur again. Arthur Morgan. After you really understand who I am, you can reconsider whether to invite me to join the club." .”

After Miller heard the name Arthur Morgan, his expression changed briefly, but he quickly covered it up. He smiled and said:

"It seems that we really need to get to know you better, Mr. Morgan."

"Then, I'll take my leave first. I won't return this plan to you. I'll take it back and take a good look at it. Goodbye, Mr. Miller."
