"What the hell are you..."

Russell frowned, looked up at him, and said, "Mr. Leflac, please don't get excited. Maybe you should think about how much you can get from these projects."

"Astor will leave us a mouthful?"

Russell smiled and said, "It's not just a sip of soup, but it's enough to feed you all."

Leflac paused, rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions just now, please don't mind. I...Which project will Mr. Astor leave for me?"

"You're going to ask him that."

Leflac shook his head slowly, "Mr. Astor is very powerful, I almost put him behind my back, it seems a bit embarrassing to meet him now."

Russell pointed at him and said with a smile: "You are not a pure businessman, because you don't have the shameless spirit of a businessman!"

"You!...I just want to make money, not make enemies."

"Your thoughts are very similar to yours. Let's get to know Russell Walker again."

"Johns LeFrack."

The two chatted a lot in the restaurant.

The conversation was all about construction projects, and LeFrack wanted the Boston [-] project and begged Russell to speak a few words for him in front of Astor.

Russell refused on the spot. He is not a fucking megaphone, won't he say something by himself?

Then the voice changed, and he said: "I will ask Mr. Astor to hold another meeting to discuss the project profit..."

"Okay, thank you very much! Mr. Walker, you are a fine businessman."

Russell said: "I am not an orthodox businessman, because my business is mixed with compassion. Do you know the survivors of the Titanic?"

"I heard something. I read in the newspaper that Mr. Walker, you have found a place for them and settled them down, and you want to give them a job?"

"Yes, now they are working for my construction company, but the construction business is not easy to do..."

Leflac said: "You are too kind. If there is a need for it, I am willing to make a small contribution."

"You are also a great person!"

"Thank you."

If you want to make money in the United States, you will inevitably contact gangs, honest customers, labor unions, and wealthy businessmen...

So Russell has already thought about the development route, first settle the survivors and their families, and then set up companies and associations...

at night,

Astor came back and had a two-person celebration with Russell.

He has already signed the project contract with the government. There are 13 construction projects in total. The design drawings have been drawn long ago, and they are waiting for the workers to enter the site and start work.

"I will only keep six of these projects, and leave the remaining seven to you. You can use them to make friends, and you can also use them to make huge profits."

"Mr. Astor, you are giving me money."

Astor smiled and said: "I really gave you gold and banknotes. I am afraid that you will dislike me and have bad thoughts about me. This way of giving will make your acceptance much easier."

Russell laughed: "If you really give me gold bills, I will definitely accept them on the spot! Who doesn't like the smell of banknotes."

"Ha ha…"

Two days later, at noon.

Hotel banquet hall.

Russell personally sent an invitation letter to Leflac and Missy, signed by himself, and did not use Astor's name.

There were only five people who came...

In addition to Le Flacque and Misiduo, there are three real estate developers, all of them are from Vancouver, Washington and Los Angeles.

This is also the reason why they dare not go head-to-head with Astor. How could the pack of wolves that came from afar be able to bite the ground tiger.

"Gentlemen, it seems that the other three people have no intention of cooperating with me. It's really a pity. I have never done real estate and construction business when I first arrived here. I wanted to share with them..."

Misiduo said with a smile: "Isn't this just a bargain for us? I didn't expect Mr. Astor to be so generous."

"No, Mr. Astor has given me the rest of the project."

"Mr. Walker?!" Leflac was a little excited.

"you?!"

Russell smiled, "Yes."

Misiduo rolled his eyes and said, "It turns out that Mr. Walker is so generous! How much will you give us?"

"I only need one item, and I will give you the rest!"

"what?"

The five people were a little surprised, staring at each other and didn't know how to express their feelings at the moment.

"You, why are you doing this?"

Russell smiled: "I want to make friends with you, can't I?"

"We're friends already, aren't we, Mr. Walker?" LeFrac said.

"Of course!"

Russell glanced at the five people, then took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it in his mouth, passed the case down, and everyone took out a cigarette and lit it.

Russell watched their actions and nodded with satisfaction.

"But I have a request."

Everyone felt that it was very reasonable for him to ask, after all, no one would be so generous.

"I want you to join my association and your workers to join my affiliated unions."

"What association?"

Russell said: "I want to start the Titanic Survivors Relief Association, and the Boston Builders Association, the Construction Workers Association."

"what do you mean?"

"Report to keep warm! You are all foreigners from Los Angeles, Washington, etc., and are not natives of the United States, and I am from the United Kingdom... If we want to survive in the United States of America, we must unite!"

"I have a strong network of contacts. Isidore will introduce real customers to me, Astor will support me in business, and Guggenheim will give me resources...You guys, do you understand?"

Misidor, Leflac and the others looked at each other, staring at the young man sitting in the main seat in astonishment.

Didn't expect him to know so many celebrities...

Isidore used to be a member of the New York Congressman. Although Guggenheim was an inconspicuous playboy, he played with a bank and had a lot of resources in his hands.Astor is a famous American inventor and real estate tycoon...

"I, I am willing!" Misidor gritted his teeth and said.

"Me too!" LeFrac said.

"willing!"

"..."

All five people agreed, and no one opposed it.

"Very good! Next, let's share the loot... Oh no, it's a profit sharing project."

"Haha...Okay." Everyone laughed.

There are seven projects in total, Russell keeps the baseball field project, and the remaining six are divided equally between them.

Missido and Leflac proposed that since Russell provided these projects to share with them, they should give Russell some profits, commonly known as kickbacks and referral fees.

In the end, it was decided that [-]% of the net profit would be handed over to Russell.

Of course he doesn't have any objections, this is all legal income, why don't you want the free money.

In the next few days, Russell, Astor and others agreed on the start-up process and date of the project.

By the way, I spent a few days in a hotel near Harvard University, and I have to say that those who engage in architecture prefer college students at any time.

Back to New York.

Russell started to build the association. He first went to Mrs. Brown to pick up Ruth, and chatted with Mrs. Brown about the Association of Rescuers.

She was very interested in this, and told Luo Suming that she wanted to join in and do something for the survivors and their families to help them tide over the difficulties.

It is impossible for Russell to put all his thoughts on the association, so he needs a manager.There was nothing wrong with Mrs. Brown's ability. If she came to preside over the work of the Survivors' Aid Association, it would surely make Russell easier.

Moreover, Mrs. Brown must act in his name, because at this time the oppression of women in the United States is still not loosened. Although many women are advocating feminism, their voices are very small.

Most of the women stay at home as full-time housewives, taking care of their husbands and children, and few of them come out to show their faces, which will not only attract criticism, but also make the men in the family lose face.

Mrs. Brown and her husband quarreled over it.

So, she is very experienced.

From Mrs. Brown's point of view, if she can do things in the name of Russell, it will save a lot of trouble, and it will be much more convenient to do things. It's good to help the survivors sincerely, and she doesn't want to be famous...

Really nice guy.

With the help of Mrs. Brown, the association was established very quickly. At first, there were only more than 200 people who joined the Survivor Association, but within a few days, the number of people in the Rescue Association reached 600!

Russell served as the chairman, and celebrities such as Astor, Isidore, and Guggenheim were appointed as the honorary vice president, but Mrs. Brown did not take up the post. She was the assistant to the president...

And Russell also established the Builders Association, with only six initial members, but the subordinate construction union has more than 4000 members. In addition to the registered workers of the Russell Construction Company, there are also employees from companies such as Missido and Leflac Worker.

It also has a not-so-small influence in Boston...

When the regular guests learned about the establishment of the association, they were all shocked.

They didn't expect that the young man who followed Astor had such courage and courage!

For several days in a row, I sent a telegram to Russell, inviting him to attend a party in Boston, but Russell refused on the grounds that he was busy with work.

Going to Boston at this time is to die, those honest customers will snatch away his association and digest it cleanly, not even hair will be left for him!

As for the Survivor Rescue Association, it will not be snatched away, because most of the members are celebrities and nobles, who would dare to snatch it?

Chapter 110 Career Set Sail, Welcome to Trouble

In just two weeks, the project in Boston was officially started, and workers such as Leflac and Missido were transferred, and Russell only had to sit at home and collect the money.

During this period of time, two major incidents also occurred in Manhattan. Among them, the Irish and the Italians fought inextricably, dozens of members were killed and injured, and even the leaders of both sides died two or three people.

The hatred can no longer be dispelled. As long as it is night, only gunshots can be heard. Residents hide in their houses and dare not go out for fear of accidental injury by stray bullets.

In the end, the government couldn't stand it anymore, intervened and made a mediator for them.

But it only stopped for a few days, because the headquarters in Italy was bombed and the boss was seriously injured.The Irish took this opportunity to dispatch hundreds of people and drove the Italians to Queens and Brooklyn...

But turning around, the Irish found that a group of strangers appeared in their neighborhood, and they actually opened six speakeasies and nine small mobile gambling houses.

The Irish were a little dazed, not knowing where these people came from.

Just as they were about to gather people to find trouble, hundreds of police officers were dispatched by the police station to chase and arrest the Irish. As long as they were caught, they were all charged with trumped-up charges and put in jail.

On this day, Tommy and Thain drove two cars to Brooklyn.

At the door of the house, Russell took out fifty cents and handed the noodles.

"Thank you, Mr. Walker, for your generosity."

Russell smiled and said, "You're welcome, you paid too."

"You can ask anyone to help with errands, but you only gave me the chance, and I have to thank you."

Noodles is only nine years old, so he can handle it clearly, which is better than some adults.

Two cars stopped at the door of the house, and Noodles looked back.

He turned his head and reminded: "Mr. Walker, I want to remind you that the gangsters on the street are short of money again, and they are looking for rich families..."

Russell raised his eyebrows: "Oh, really, then don't tell others about this, maybe you can persuade them to come to trouble me."

"Trouble you? No, you're a generous boss, I don't want to..."

"Listen, Noodle, you also call me the boss, then you should listen to the boss, maybe your boss is planning something, understand?"

Noodles nodded slowly: "Understood..."

"Go and convince them to come to trouble me, see the box these two brothers are carrying? It's full of banknotes!"
