A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 297 You will know after you sign it
"Arthur, are you serious?"

After hearing Arthur's so-called big plan, Trelawny was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth at the first moment.

Arthur drank the coffee brought by the servant and said with a smile:

"Of course it's true. Could it be that I dropped everything and came all the way to New York just to play a joke with you?"

However, I don’t blame Trelawny for his reaction. To be honest, this plan is not that special, it’s just that no one has ever done it like this.

Just like the Ponzi scheme that Trelawny is running now, no one has ever done it in the United States today.

Trelawney was still Trelawney. After a brief moment of surprise, he quickly thought about the feasibility of the plan, and then said uncertainly:

"Arthur, if you really want to make a big profit with this plan of yours, you need a lot of funds, and it's the kind of money that can be brought to the table. So, do you have that much?"

Arthur was very happy that Trelawny could react so quickly from his surprise and grasp the key points of the problem at once.

"Have you forgotten that you still have a lot of legal money on hand?"

"You mean the investment money from the 'gold mine'? Doesn't this count as misappropriation?"

Arthur nodded and said:

"Of course it's misappropriation. The question is, is yours really a serious company? That is, you pay out all the dividends on schedule, and then make everyone think they have made money, so no one really cares about it. Same thing. The truth is, as long as our plan succeeds, you can even return all the investors’ money to them, it doesn’t matter, because we will make a lot of money, do you understand?”

To be honest, Trelawny might not have had any idea about this huge amount of money in the past, but it is different now. Babylon Oil Company and Babylon Oilfield Company, two non-existent things, have already been given to Trelawney. After earning money in this life, in the next life, and in the next life, he would not even dare to imagine the money he could earn.

And if Arthur's plan succeeds, then the so-called 'lots and lots of money' in Arthur's mouth will be another fortune similar to the revenue of Babylon Oil Company, and all of this money will be legal!
Trelawney didn't hesitate too much. Although he was very excited now, he still forced himself to speak to Arthur calmly:
"Fuck it, Arthur Morgan, did you know you're a genius?"

"Trelawney, you will definitely become the greatest liar of this century!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Both of them laughed out loud at the other's rainbow fart. It can only be said that at this moment, neither of them really realized what kind of big event they would end up doing.

……

After Arthur negotiated the preliminary matters with Trelawney, he set off to the southern part of Manhattan, New York, which stretches from Broadway to the East River and is known as Wall Street, the financial center of the United States.

To be honest, when he set foot here for the first time, Arthur's first impression of Wall Street was not quite what he imagined.

However, this is not important. After Arthur's cowboy hat and suit successfully attracted a lot of attention, he finally managed to meet the best stock and bond broker in Wall Street introduced by Trelawney.

"Jesse, Jesse Lilformer, you must be Mr. Morgan, right?" Lilformer, who put his hair back meticulously, came to Arthur with a smile and said.

"Arthur, Arthur Morgan, I heard you are the best stock and bond broker on Wall Street?"

Lilfomo looked around pretending to be surprised, and then said in an uncertain tone:
"Mr. Morgan, who did you hear this from? I dare not say that I am the best broker on Wall Street..." Then, Lilfomo changed the subject and said with certainty:
"But I'm sure I will be the one charging the most."

"Hahaha."

Arthur appreciated his humor. People nowadays generally believe that the higher the fee, the better the quality of something. There is no doubt that Lilfumo is just affirming in disguise that he is the best stock advisor on Wall Street.

After this brief conversation, Lilformer took Arthur to his office. Yes, he had his own office on Wall Street.

That speaks volumes, doesn’t it?

After the two of them took their seats, Lilfomo put away his humorous expression and said seriously:

"Mr. Morgan, I have probably heard what you are planning to do, but I am not sure whether you correctly understand the risks involved?"

Arthur habitually lit a cigarette for himself and said:

"I guess that's why I need you as a professional, isn't it?"

Lilfumo did not relax in response to Arthur's statement. For a professional stockbroker like him, he was different from other stockbrokers who blindly concluded deals. His good reputation was built on Based on customer considerations.

Lilfomo explained to Arthur seriously:

"In today's entire environment, to be honest, stock trading is a very dangerous investment activity for ordinary people who have no connections and no strength. Mr. Morgan, please don't think that this is different for you who have money. On Wall Street, money never sleeps. Greed, desire and extravagance form the background here. Please believe me, on Wall Street, any rich man may become a pauper with nothing tomorrow, and vice versa."

"Mr. Lilformer, do you know that you are trying to persuade your big client to quit?" Arthur asked with interest.

Lilfomo shrugged and replied affirmatively:
"Yes, of course I do, but my job is to help you make money in the stock and securities markets, not lose all your money. There are very few public companies today that, well, they barely disclose to the public. Accurate financial statements and even understanding stock quotes require a lot of effort, not to mention the various extremely rampant operations in the market. Believe me, you don’t want to encounter it.”

Arthur nodded. He believed what Lilfumo said. As for whether he really wanted to dissuade himself from this big customer?Arthur didn't think so. This was just Lilfomo's effort to establish a trusting relationship.

Arthur's answer was simple. He directly took out the contract that Smith had prepared in advance and pushed it across the table in front of Lil Formo.

"Well, it seems that Mr. Morgan has made up his mind, so let me see first what kind of price you plan to offer for hiring me."

Lilfomo picked up the contract and looked at it carefully. Arthur did not urge him. The more Lilfomo read the contents of the contract, the more solemn his expression became. The confidentiality clause was considered the most normal part of it. By the time he read the entire contract word for word.

After Lilformo blew a short whistle, he deliberately opened his eyes wide and said in an exaggerated tone:

"Mr. Morgan, after reading the contract you prepared, I have begun to wonder what kind of big thing you plan to do."

Arthur flicked the ashes into the ashtray on the table and said:

"Sign him, and you'll know."
