A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 417
Dam Harewood was the last person Arthur visited to be the major shareholder behind a series of Cornish properties.

"Ah, Mr. Morgan, right?"

Hallewood's tone was playful.

Harewood had heard a little bit about the overt and covert conflicts between Arthur and Cornwall.

Arthur imitated Harewood's tone just now and said:
"It seems that Mr. Hallewood has not failed in the two stocks that have been hit hard recently."

"Haha." Harleywood laughed cheerfully. If there is anything to be happy about recently, it is that he did not stumble on the two stocks of Babylon Oil and Oilfield, and he also read a lot of jokes from old friends.

It’s not that Haleywood is not jealous or has a long-term vision. It’s simply that he invested in other things with the liquidity at hand. Of course, it’s not that there is nothing at all, but he has a habit of playing small It's better not to make trouble than to quit.

In this way, Haleywood not only successfully avoided the trap, but also took a fancy to other people's jokes, and he is now preparing to pick some good mortgage assets as investments.

"Is Mr. Morgan also in trouble?"

"Haha, that's not true. After all, for someone like me who has shorted these two stocks, is this not a trap?"

"...?"

Hallewood was dumbfounded.

If it is a happy thing to watch others lose money but you do not lose money, then watching others make money but not yourself is a more uncomfortable thing than losing money yourself.

At least, now, after Hallewood was shocked, he was left with only a kind of jealousy mixed with envy, and a kind of "Why not me", "Why didn't I think of it", "This guy is so damned" and so on. special emotions.

After a while, Hardwood, who digested the news, put away his casual look just now, and said seriously:

"Well, Mr. Morgan, presumably, since you dared to short the stocks of those two companies in the previous situation, you definitely wouldn't just be making a fuss. If that's the case, you shouldn't be short of money or need investment. Are you here to find me?"

Arthur nodded and said with a smile:

"Of course not. If I really want to say it, I'm actually here to give you money."

Arthur, who already had experience in talking to several major Cornwall shareholders, did not waste time beating around the bush. Instead, after making Harewood look at him squarely and whetting his appetite, he went directly to the topic:

"Leviticus Cornwall is finished."

Be the first to make a conclusion, and then provide your own evidence.

"All of his debts and claims in Lemon State and New Hanover that have defaulted over time have been acquired by me. What does this mean? Mr. Hallewood must be very clear about it, right?"

Guide the other person to come up with their own answers.

"Cornwall's funds are broken?" Hallewood said with a frown. He didn't realize that he had unknowingly entered the rhythm of Arthur's conversation.

As for Harewood's question, Arthur still did not give a direct answer, but said with a smile:

"As far as I know, when I was shorting the two stocks of Babylon Oil and Babylon Oilfield, Cornwall was desperately going long. Even on the day of the thunderstorm, Mr. Cornwall was still determined to buy the bottom. I thought, Maybe many people who escaped by chance will sincerely thank him for his kindness in their hearts?"

"...That's right, Cornwall lost all the money in it, and those things are nothing but waste paper now. Well, Mr. Morgan, it's time to talk about your real purpose in coming to me Okay, I think I’ve already guessed some, but I still hope you can tell me, lest I’m just overthinking?”

Hallewood's tone was serious, and his previous casual look was gone. He might have looked down on Arthur before, thinking that this guy was just a 'business scum' who had accumulated some wealth through 'violence' and some shady means. But after the conversation just now, Hallewood has regarded Arthur as a capitalist just like him, or even more cunning than him.Don't think that the word cunning is a derogatory word. In the capitalist world, it is the same as words such as insidious, despicable, cold-blooded, etc. They are all complimentary words.

"Cornwall will definitely come to visit you, Mr. Harewood. After all, he needs funds, but what else can Cornwall give you? Your helping hand to him is only to ensure that he will increase investment on the premise of increasing investment. Your original investment will not be lost...and if you choose to cooperate with me, then everything will be different, right?"

……

Arthur took over Cornwall's defaulted debt claims in the bank and persuaded the major shareholders, headed by Harley Wood, who might lend a helping hand to Cornwall, to give up on Cornwall.

Yes, it is only the person Cornwall who is giving up, or rather the brand. As for the industries under Cornwall's name, as long as Cornwall cannot repay its debts, most of them will become assets to repay the debts in Arthur's hands. .

"Arthur, Sean has returned from Rhodes. He said that the things you asked for were placed on your table."

Mary Beth said to Arthur who had just come back from outside.

Linda was also in the office, and the two girls seemed to be having a good time. These days, they either went shopping or made an appointment to go to the theater together. To be honest, Arthur didn't understand why the two of them could get along so happily.

As Arthur took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, he remembered what Hosea had told him before, and he locked it casually and said:
"I know, thank you. By the way, Mary Beth, I heard from Hosea that you are going back to Valentine?"

"Um...yes, I'm just going back temporarily for a while."

Seeing Mary's hesitant look, Arthur did not ask further questions. Instead, he expressed his agreement and waited until Mary Beth left the room before asking Linda:

"Do you know what's going on here?"

"Hehe." Linda said with a smile while eating the snacks she bought.

"This is a girl's secret. Is it really okay for you to ask me about it?"

"I'm just worried that Mary Beth may have encountered some trouble that it would be inconvenient to tell me."

For Arthur, Mary Beth had always done a great job, and it could be said that the relationship was like a family, which was just a necessary concern.

"If you are really curious, I can't help but tell you." Linda said with a smile.

Arthur looked at her and waited for her next step.

"Mary Beth went back for Kieran's invitation."

"what?"

Kieran?

Arthur looked at the 'you know' expression on Linda's face and said with some shock:

"Is it what I thought?"

"Are you more sensitive to other people's affairs than your own?" Linda said teasingly.
