A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 424 A big mistake
When a person is desperate because of money, he will often choose to take risks.

Common options in the West include, but are not limited to, robbing banks, robbing carriages, robbing passers-by, and kidnapping for ransom.

And when this person who chooses to take a desperate risk because he is desperate has a clear enemy, and this enemy can also provide a large amount of ransom, then this person's desperate step will easily determine the method and clear goal.

"Linda, where are you going?" Hosea asked, looking at Linda who was about to go out.

Linda did not follow Arthur to Valentine this time because she had something to do in Saint-Denis.

After all, Linda is not a pretty vase, and neither Arthur nor Linda herself likes to sit idle.

Because Jiadelong's boss Zhang passed away, Ah Le and Arthur have resigned, so the project that Ah Le was originally responsible for needs someone to take charge of it, and it was proposed by Arthur, but it was not Morgan Credit Company that he implemented. A person who knew how to operate was in charge, and Linda volunteered to take over the job.

"I made an appointment with Harry Bullard from the Bank of Saint-Denis, who wanted to talk to us about some business loans," Linda said in summary.

Hosea laughed and shook his head. He looked at Linda, who was being dismissed by Arthur like him, and said:
"Linda, don't be deceived by that guy Arthur. At first, I was just handling things in St. Denis for him when he was away. Look, now, it has completely turned into me handling things in St. Denis for him." He just ran around as much as he wanted."

"Humph, Mr. Matthews, it's too late for you to tell me now. I've already boarded the pirate ship. It's better not to say anything anymore. I have to work for the boss."

As she said this, Linda was about to go out, carrying a small bag that looked like a messenger bag, but she was stopped again by Hosea.

"No, Linda, you don't plan to go out alone like this, do you?"

"Ah?" Linda knew what Hosea was worried about, but the Bank of Saint-Denis was not far from here, and she didn't leave Saint-Denis. Besides, theoretically, not many people should know her.

"Should be alright?"

"No." Hosea said seriously, and then he called a few Heishuihe security staff to let them follow Linda, and ordered:

"Appropriate fear of bad things happening is not a bad habit. Linda, be prepared. I would rather this be unnecessary than have any accidents happen because of blind confidence."

Thinking back to the several tragedies that were almost caused by carelessness, Hosea felt scared.

It can happen once or twice, but never again.

"Okay, Mr. Matthews, I'll keep an eye on it."

After being advised to have a full meal, Linda bid farewell to Hosea. She obediently led her bodyguards out of the hotel, and they were followed by others.

……

"The plan is cancelled, withdraw, damn it."

Blanco followed Linda until they entered the Bank of Saint-Denis but failed to find a suitable opportunity to take action.

"Didn't you say that after following you for a few days, she never brought a bodyguard with her when she went out?"

"Blanco, it's true. Damn it, I don't know why. She brought bodyguards today." The person who replied looked annoyed.

……

The Bank of Saint-Denis was closed for a period of time after being robbed by Dutch. The repair work has been basically completed, but Harry Bullard has been reluctant to reopen it.

"Ah, Miss Vincent, please come in quickly. Please come in quickly."

Before the appointed time arrived, Brad was already waiting for Linda in the lobby.

If today's society generally has some incorrect views on women, then this kind of prejudice is often only aimed at housewives who are down-to-earth at home, caring for their husbands and raising children.Looking at Brad in front of her, Linda smiled politely and said:

"Mr. Brad, you don't have to be so polite. Some of the suggestions you gave are quite interesting, so I think we can sit down and have a good talk?"

"Of course."

Immediately afterwards, Brad brought Linda to the office. When the bodyguard followed him to the door, he signaled that he was outside, but when he spoke, the bodyguard looked at Brad.

Although this kind of warning seems very unnecessary to Brad himself, after all, he is a man who has seen Arthur's methods. Let alone the bodyguard here, even if Linda comes alone, Brad will have to treat her as a human being. Little ancestor.

"Miss Vincent, would you like something to drink?"

"No, if there are snacks, I can have some." Linda said very comfortably.

"Okay, then wait a moment."

After saying that, Brad personally brought a plate of dried fruits and placed it in front of Linda.

"Well, let me think about it, which one should I start talking with you, so, Mr. Brad, you choose."

Linda asked Brad to choose, but he did not shirk, but said with a smile:

"About the acquisition of the Bank of Saint-Denis..."

"Ah, in this case, the hope is relatively slim. Mr. Brad, you also know that the Saint-Denis Bank now has basically non-performing assets, and there are losses caused by careless investments, and..."

"Miss Vincent, let me interrupt." Brad interrupted sarcastically.

Although this behavior was not very polite, it was left to Linda to continue talking about the acquisition of Saint-Denis Bank.

"Hmm, tell me, I'll eat first, you don't have to worry about it, just say whatever you want."

After saying that, Linda really started eating the plate of dried fruits.

"Ahem, Miss Vincent, first of all, you also know that the Bank of Saint-Denis is the largest bank in Saint-Denis. It has a good reputation and credit, accumulated over many years..."

"Bah." Linda interrupted while frowning and spitting out a broken nut kernel:

"Tell me something we don't know?"

"Well, I don't know how you judged the non-performing assets you mentioned. In fact, after professional evaluation, they are all excellent assets..."

"In this case, why doesn't your bank choose to sell these assets to survive the crisis?" Linda said sharply.

Brad was a little speechless. To be honest, Linda 'understood' better than he thought.

Just listen to Linda continue to speak to Brad who opened his mouth and said nothing:

"You see, you can't sell these assets, or in other words, you can't sell them at the price you want. When they are held by the bank and tied to the bank, they can be regarded as excellent assets. After all, their existence can make Saint-Denis Bank The value of them has been greatly increased, and it can also bring some continuous income to make your statements look good. But if you really want to take them out and sell them off, or split them up, they are essentially just some non-performing assets. So it’s better not to add gold to the bank, you don’t even dare to open for business now, what’s the reason, do you still need me to point it out to you?”

"... go bankrupt directly, and let your bank's debts and deposits disappear together. This may not be a good thing for you, but for Saint-Denis Bank, this is definitely the best way. Of course, I am now I'm talking to you, as long as we're both willing to put the bank's interests aside, then I think, of course we have other better options, right?..."

Brad suddenly discovered that his previous idea that talking to this little girl named Linda Vincent would be much easier than talking to Arthur now seemed to be a big mistake.
