A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 425 Falling Rain
"Chief Luoyu, what do you think of my proposal?"

Arthur sat cross-legged across from Luo Yu, holding a cup of unknown herbal tea in his hand. It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't very delicious. It was sweet in the mouth and bitter in the end. There was also a kind of tea that couldn't be named. The herbal taste, but combined with the temperature that slightly burns the mouth, unexpectedly makes people drink it unconsciously and take another sip.

"Arthur, I only see the benefits of your plan, the benefits to us..." Luo Yu's tone was full of uncertainty.

Faced with a plan that could only see benefits to himself from beginning to end, Luo Yu had already passed that naive age. So many years of experience told him that even the gifts obtained from nature are still hidden. cost.

Regarding Arthur's plan, Luo Yu didn't see any harm to their tribe at all, but just like this, it made Luo Yu wary.

Considering Arthur's long-standing help to the tribe and Luo Yu's own understanding of Arthur, Luo Yu did not mince words, but directly asked:

"Look, you provided the funds, you are responsible for the operations, you can hire our people, and even the ownership rights of the casinos and hotels are ours, and you only occupy part of the shares? Arthur, so Cheap good things really scare me, so please tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Facing the vigilance shown in Luo Yu's words, Arthur just explained with a smile:
"I understand your worries and concerns. In this matter, my interests do not conflict with yours. From the perspective of a friend, I hope to help you. This is the truth. From the perspective of a businessman, You said, this is a profitable investment. Believe me, I may have a longer-term view than you, and you don’t have to worry about any losses. You also said, I provide the funds and the risks are borne by me. Even if I lose money on this investment in the end, it will only be my money, right?"

That's what he said, but Arthur knew better than anyone else that building a casino on an Indian reservation would not make him lose money.

With the development of the new century, more and more states will begin to restrict the gambling industry. If you want to operate this business legally and compliantly, Las Vegas will be an option in the future, but it is still a desolate land. Arthur had no intention of building a city from scratch.

Moreover, even if Arthur really bites the bullet and does it, in the end he will still have to compete with other players who entered the game later, and at the same time, he will have to face troubles from the local government and so on in the process.

In a word, compared with the advantages of Indian reservations in terms of innate conditions, it is too troublesome.

Of course, if Las Vegas slowly develops in the future, Arthur will definitely not mind getting involved.

As for now, Indian reservations are the best option.

Whether it's the anarchy here, or his relationship with the Indians, they'll get everything set up and up and running pretty quickly.

"I have to think about this matter carefully. Arthur, you may have to give me some time."

In the end, Luo Yu still cautiously said that he needed time to think about it, but if he was willing to consider it, it could basically be said to have been settled. Considering it was nothing more than weighing the pros and cons, and this matter itself was a big deal for Luo Yu and the others. It is extremely beneficial, so agreeing to Arthur is just a matter of time.

"Of course, after all, this is a matter of deciding the future direction, isn't it?" Arthur said with a smile.

Luo Yu nodded, refilled the empty cup in Arthur's hand, and said helplessly:
"Times have changed, and we can only change. There is no doubt about this, and we are still adapting to the speed of change. If it had been said before, I would have definitely rejected your proposal. We would even do this to you. There is great hostility from those who are trying to bring us change.”

The term "speed of change" is quite accurate. Luo Yu still has an accurate grasp of the current situation of the tribe. Although the young people led by Fei Ying are radical, they are the slowest to change. They are young and have experienced too few failures, and It's not painful enough, so they still stubbornly act with the concepts of the past.

On the contrary, there are older Indians like Luo Yu, who have experienced defeats in previous wars. They watch the Americans continue to use various means including but not limited to force to destroy them. They The gods they believed in could not save them, and even nature itself was successfully conquered by these pioneers over time.

All of this changed them. "Following the times, this is a problem we all face." Arthur replied with a smile.

Luo Yu nodded to acknowledge Arthur's words, and then the topic came to an end, and neither of them spoke again.

Charles, who was sitting next to him, looked at Arthur and then at Luo Yu, wondering if both of them had forgotten about Flying Eagle.

However, Charles did not speak this time. After all, he still remembered what Arthur said to him before.

Indeed, he shouldn't have spoken about this matter.

Then an interesting scene appeared. Three people who were thinking about their own things were all sitting in the tent, silently drinking tea from their own cups, and no one spoke.

Suddenly it began to rain lightly outside the tent, and the sound of dripping rain beat on the tent. The smell of rainy vegetation was brought in from under the tent curtain with the wind.

"It's the rainy season again." Arthur quite likes this kind of weather, of course, provided that he doesn't have to go out in this kind of weather.

Luo Yu chuckled and said:

"Arthur, do you like the rainy weather?"

"It depends on where you are. If it's Valentine, the road will be too muddy when it rains. As for Saint-Denis, a city that's always cloudy, rain is also not a pleasant thing. , but here, I think I like the rain." Arthur said.

"What about you, Charles?"

"I'm okay." Charles didn't expect Luo Yu to ask himself, and his answer was a little perfunctory for a while.

"The fragrance of rosin wafts in the wind, the sound of blowing across the lake. It's a pity that Flying Eagle can't calm down and look at what we have, but only clings to what we have lost..."

Well, Luo Yu finally brought the topic to Flying Eagle.

Arthur wanted to see what Luo Yu was going to do. Was it a bargaining chip, a transaction, or a request?
"I'm sorry, it seems that I am not only the chief of the tribe, but also a father. However, please don't worry, Fei Ying is already an adult, and the consequences of the choices he makes should only be borne by him. I'm not going to trouble you, Arthur."

"...?"

Good guy, are you giving up on Flying Eagle?
