A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 447 Birthday Banquet
Entering the Saint-Denis Hotel, the hall was filled with people in suits and ties. On the stage, dancers danced cheerfully to the music of the band.

The cool outfit attracted constant applause from the audience.

Henry took the coats that Arthur and Betsy had taken off and said:
"Your guests have arrived and are waiting for you upstairs, Mr. Morgan."

After speaking, Henry gestured to Geraint to take off his coat, but Geraint refused.

"Got it", Arthur turned around and said to his driver and bodyguard:
"Armande, you go and play too. I'll have someone call you when you leave."

"Yes, Mr. Morgan."

Arthur took Betsy and Geraint upstairs. This place was different from the crowded and noisy downstairs, with more waiters and fewer guests.

"Arthur, you came too slowly!"

Susan, who was no longer young, stepped forward and hugged Arthur. Although time inevitably left traces on her body, the comfortable life still made her look very energetic.

"Ms. Grimshaw, you look younger."

"Bah, Arthur, I'm too old to look good anymore, so don't use such words to coax me."

Arthur hugged Susan, pointed to his white hair and said:
"Compared with me, you can't tell how old I am."

Grimshaw did not argue with Arthur about who was aging more. Instead, after seeing Geraint and Betsy behind Arthur, he smiled and went over, hugged them, and said:
"Our little Betsy is getting better and better as she grows."

"Ms. Grimshaw, you can't be partial, what about me?" After Geraint finished speaking, he turned around in a circle and motioned for Susan to praise him too.

"You brat, you still know how to come back? Just wait. If your mother doesn't whip you by then, I will whip you hard too!"

"..."

"Hahaha." Seeing her brother's deflated appearance at Susan's place, Betsy happily pulled Susan to the side where the ladies were to talk.

To be honest, Betsy had always liked the strong and unmarried Grimshaw.

Of course, this was definitely not because Susan helped her hide it the first time she drank secretly.

On the other side, Arthur, Hosea, Sean, and John were also gathered together.

"Is the shipment going well?" Arthur asked with a smile.

Sean nodded. Although today was a birthday party for his son, he only arrived earlier than Arthur. For this reason, Karen just grabbed his ears and scolded him for a long time.

"It's not bad, Arthur, this business will definitely make us rich."

In response, Hosea, who was about to celebrate his 75th birthday, shook his head and said:
"Sean, Arthur and I actually don't agree with you getting involved in this business. Do you really want to stop thinking about it? Honestly, what else do we need to make a fortune now?"

Indeed, the original Morgan Credit Company has continued to develop over the past 20 years and is now known as the 'Morgan Consortium'. Morgan, the main pillar of the entire group, has become a huge multinational company. Today, the country has It has 10 subsidiaries and many branches in various places, as well as hundreds of communication banks.

At the same time, the company has also established branches and representative offices abroad, and this does not include its shares held in financial institutions in other countries.

"Hanover Manufacturers Company in New Hanover, New York Bankers Trust Company and Northwestern Banking Company, Life Insurance Company, New York Life Insurance Company... General Electric, automobile manufacturing, International Telephone and Telegraph... Seriously, who I was 20 years ago , I will never believe that today, 20 years later, we can actually build such a behemoth." Hosea continued.Maybe it was because he was still old after all. Even though he listed so many things, in fact, Hosea actually left out a lot.

John also helped and said:

"Sean, if you are like me and are not interested in these things, you might as well follow me back to New Austin to raise cattle. Although the price of beef has begun to fall after the war, legal trading is safer than coming here. .”

"Hey? Is this a birthday party today or a persuasion meeting for me? Everyone, how many years have we known each other? Don't you still know me? If I have the ability to follow Arthur to do these things, I can still do it every day Karen grabbed her ears and scolded her," Sean said.

In this regard, Arthur had no intention of persuading Sean, but just smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, since Sean wants to give it a try, let him try it. No matter what, this is definitely a huge business opportunity. As for our worries, he is just a supplier, nothing can happen to him. "

In fact, there was something Arthur didn't say later, that is, even if something went wrong, for Arthur now, it would be just a phone call away.

"By the way, Sean, what gift have you prepared for your boy?" Arthur changed the subject.

"A gift? I worked so hard to raise him, what gift should I prepare for him? Arthur, those of you who are uncles and aunts, have spoiled him day by day. If you ask me, this birthday party is superfluous. Where did we have such conditions when we were young? Do you think so?"

Sean's words made Hosea shake his head.

"You brat, you said you have reached this age, why are you still such a bastard? Your Wei An is a good boy. He is also well-read and very well-behaved. I really don't understand. How can you be such a bastard? Can you raise such a child?"

"Hahahaha." Although he said that, Sean was actually very satisfied with his son.

Arthur also spoke at the right time and said:
"Oh, it's a good thing I have a daughter. Otherwise, those two boys would have been so angry to death."

"By the way, Arthur, I just saw Geraint coming back?" John said.

Arthur nodded.

"I just saw him too, alas, you uneasy brat."

"Just come back, Arthur, weren't you a worse bastard than Geraint when you were young?" Hosea said bluntly.

"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed. The old guys knew everything about each other. If they really wanted to expose their shortcomings, everyone would have something to say.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Lenny has a case in New York and there is no way to get out of it for the time being. He called me and asked me to talk to you. Next thing you know, Charles is on the Indian reservation. The ground can't escape, Pearson has not come back from his "travel" abroad some time ago..." Arthur said.

"Hey, it's a small matter, just ask them not to forget to make up for the gifts..."

"Okay, okay. Anyway, the other people who didn't come have something to do and can't leave. I won't repeat their congratulatory words one by one. As for gifts, I will remember to ask them to make up for it."

Here, a few old guys were chatting happily.

On the other side, young people also gathered together to chat about the current situation. Among them, Geraint, who had just returned, naturally became the center of the topic.

"Hey, Geraint, tell us about what happened on the battlefield."
