Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 33 The Unexpected Person
The two chatted for a while, and at this time, many people came to the banquet hall.When the two were about to walk back into the crowd, they saw a man with a beard, followed by the man George had met last time at Winchester Company, walking up to Bennett.

"Old friend, long time no see." After saying that, he came over and gave Bennett a gentle hug.

"Long time no see, Benson."

"Who is this? I don't think I've seen him before."

"Then let me introduce to you. This is George Orwell, the new owner of Winchester."

"George, this is Benson Lauter of Western Ammunition."

"Nice to meet you, now."

"I'm glad to meet you. I saw that you made a price that Bennett couldn't refuse. I hope we can cooperate in the future if we have the opportunity."

"Of course, one of us is a gun maker and the other is a bullet maker. We are natural partners."

"What you said is absolutely right. Well, there are old friends over there. Let's talk again when we have the opportunity." After saying that, the two shook hands, said hello to Bennett, and walked to the other side. .

The three of them met and got another drink from the waiter. Of course, they were all drunk, but the content was relatively low.

Cocktails were invented at this time. In order to drink alcohol without exceeding the alcohol content specified by Prohibition, people came up with this method of mixing juice and other things together.

Bennett introduced several people worth paying attention to in the banquet hall to Paul and Randy, and George silently kept them in mind.They were told that the purpose this time was to discuss how to get some orders from the military to survive this crisis.

Look, that's what capitalism is like, using taxpayers' money directly to help arms dealers survive the crisis.However, now that George is the benefit recipient, he will not come out to pretend to be a virgin.

Bennett wanted to take the two of them to greet some people, but George did not follow.Just let him go twice. George knew that Randy, as his successor, would have to improve quickly before Bennett retired.It is impossible for George to do it himself. If George goes too far, he will definitely overshadow Randy.It's not easy to find a better worker, so you'd better be honest.

Just as George was holding a drink and looking at the Vanity Fair in the middle, there was a little commotion at the door of the banquet hall, and many people rushed there, as if to say hello to someone.Because George heard, General General's.

Someone from the military should be here.The one in George was far away, and the visitor was surrounded by others, so he didn't pay attention to the other party.

George turned his face to the window, looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window, he couldn't help but sigh.This must be the first time in my life to attend such a banquet. Unfortunately, if I had taken a selfie in my previous life and posted it on Moments, I would have received a lot of likes.

"George!?" George heard someone calling him, and when he turned around, he saw Pombo in military uniform, standing not far from him.

"Uncle Pangbo, why are you here?"

"That's what I want to ask, why are you here."

"Well, I'll come in with others to have a look, it's fun."

"Is that so? I came here with the general. The general just arrived at West Point School and was planning to purchase a batch of new products for student teaching, when the logistics department came here."

George understood that these people came tonight for them. It could be said that the banquet was held for them.When George thought about it, he now had Winchester and an aircraft factory, so he could definitely try it out.

"Uncle Pangbo, I also have some good things here. Can you help me tell the general about it?"

"You still want to do the arms business? Haha, the wine business isn't enough for you? You still have to go to school, and you can't make as much money by selling the arms as you do by selling wine. You're still young, and the water here is too deep."

"Well, that's right. The current Winchester company is mine, and I also have an aircraft manufacturing company. The F-1 aircraft is now also a product of my company. You see, haha."

George's words made Pangbo unable to react. After a while, he said: "You mean, you have two military factories under your control?"

Seeing George nod, Pangbo couldn't help but wonder to himself, is it so profitable to smuggle alcohol now?There are two arms companies directly, and Winchester is not a small company.

"Let's go, the general is over there too, let's say hello together."

"Of course, when the general is here, I will definitely go and say hello."

Then the two of them walked towards the banquet center. At this time, the general was surrounded by only some high-level heads of arms companies, such as the previous Western Ammunition Company, Colt Company, FN Company and Bennett himself.Even Randy was talking to some other businessmen in the distance.

General Arthur was chatting with a few people when he saw his adjutant Pombo, followed by a young man.Seeing the young man's face, General Arthur was also stunned.Everyone else, seeing General Arthur looking away from the field, also turned to look at the person coming.

"General, long time no see."

"It's you, George. Haven't you reported to school yet?"

"Not yet, the application has been sent, and the school has arranged an interview on August 8. So I have to wait."

"Well, you're not a soldier. Don't call me general like them. Just call me uncle, or Arthur."

Arthur here is not a sign of impoliteness, but a kind of closeness shown by two people after they are very familiar with each other.In the United States, calling elders by their names is a very normal thing.

"Okay, Uncle Arthur."

"Why are you here? This kind of banquet should not be liked by you young people, right?" General Arthur also joked with George.

"Well, I also have two arms companies now, so I came over to take a look." "Oh, you still have an arms company?"

"Well, the Winchester company is mine now. The F-1 plane is also mine."

As a member of the military, General Arthur certainly knew the importance of Winchester Company, and he also knew that the F-1 aircraft was also an excellent aircraft, but he was born at the wrong time and did not catch the good opportunity.

After hearing what George said, these people all looked at Bennett next to them.

"Yes, everyone, George has been the boss of Winchester Company more than a month ago, but there was no publicity."

After receiving Bennett's approval, many people looked at this young and outrageous young man.At such a young age, he has already become a being on the same level as them.

"Please take care of me in the future."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and raised his hand as if to clink glasses, and then took a sip.

"Hey, you are young and promising. Let's cooperate more in the future." Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip.

General Arthur patted George on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then you can stay and let's talk together."

The following cocktail party entered the trash talk session.Everyone was just chatting about current affairs and news, and no more about order business.

Because tonight is just an opportunity for everyone to meet, the real business still needs to be done. After Arthur has confirmed it, it will be confirmed by the backup department and then go through the process.It's not just a matter of drinking and drinking.

After the banquet, General Arthur asked George to visit him when he had time, and then left.

George and Bennett arrived at their hotel first.George then asked Randy to speed up the production of several M1 Orwell rifles when he returned.You can participate in the military competition later.Then he took out another drawing.

This drawing is of the M1911A1 pistol that Colt would launch a few years later. It was an improvement on the M1911.

During the 1911 years from its formal service in 1985 to 74, the M1911 pistol accompanied countless American officers and soldiers and experienced several large-scale wars such as World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.Become recognized as the most trustworthy and reliable sidearm.

As for the M1911 series pistols, in addition to Colt, other companies and overseas military factories have obtained production licenses. The variety of models may be the largest among automatic pistols, and the production quantity is even greater. The orders in World War II alone were There were about 500 million of them, and the Army had more than 1945 million at the end of the war in 270.

So George, who has this trump card, also wants to take a bite out of Colt's order.

The improvements between M1911A1 and M1911 include:

(1) Widen the front sight and develop the Orwell sight so that shooters can aim quickly under poor lighting conditions. The Orwell sight was invented by another person, but George actually beat him to it, so of course it was modified. name.

(2) Lengthen the hammer to make it easier to pull with the thumb;

(3) Shorten the clamping distance and increase the anti-slip pattern;
(4) The back of the grip is designed to be arched, and anti-slip patterns are added to the surface to make the shooter hold it more firmly; this item is designed as an add-on and can be modified or not.

(5) Change the anti-slip grid pattern of the grip guard to make it more comfortable to hold;
(6) A thumb groove is added behind the trigger to make pulling the trigger easier;
(7). Extended grip safety.

George took out the drawings and patent information and asked Randy to apply for the patent first and then process a few new guns.

He didn't care about how Bennett and Randy negotiated cooperation with Colt Company.

George returned home, called Paul and told him to come over tomorrow.

The next day, George told Paul what he had discussed with Bennett last night and asked him to cooperate with the procedures.And gave a check for 200 million US dollars.In fact, when he returned to the hotel where Bennett was staying later, George also persuaded him that if he could get the order, there would be a lot of income, and he hoped that he could continue to stay.

But Bennett declined, citing physical discomfort.He also told him that he would treat this business deal and the negotiation with Colt as a lesson, teach Randy well, and then he could retire with peace of mind.

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, George said nothing more, as long as he paid attention to his health.

Now George's assets have shrunk again. He still has more than 100 million in bank deposits, and there is still a lot of cash in the bank, with more than 100 million.

General Arthur helped with this military order. His rifle is also the best now, and he took a piece of the pistol part.The trainer should also be able to take some of it.

This calculation is probably enough.In fact, it is best for Boeing to negotiate the aircraft business, and now Paul can only take the lead for a while.

There is basically nothing going on here in New York, and George is going to Los Angeles tomorrow.Then move to Nevada, it's time to resolve the Jewish gang issue.

The next day, George deliberately showed up outside and told interested people that he was still in New York.Then he went home in the afternoon, leaving a shadow clone at home, and the real body disappeared.

Many things can be done, but no clues can be left behind.George can let people know that he solved the Jewish gang, but he cannot let the police find out or catch him.

Three days later, outside Reno.
