Red Dead Redemption Dawn
Chapter 180: Back to Blackwater
Entering this store, the lighting is dim, and the surrounding is decorated with an ancient smell of medieval evil.
The oil lamps on both sides are in the old style of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
"It's not bad." The boss said with a little smugness when he saw the guests looking at the four stacks of oil lamps.
"Very nice style." John reconciled, and then he looked up and down at the boss.
This is a middle-aged white man in his forties, tall and thin, with an amiable appearance.
"It was collected by a Frenchman, as far as I can see. His ancestor was at least a viscount to afford this exquisite oil lamp. Of course he may have stolen it, but who cares about the origin of these things?" He gave an introduction with a smile.
"Well, I heard that you charge a lot of things?" John said something.
"Yes, I basically accept everything, but not everything. Things must at least have some value." The boss said after glancing at the large bag in John's hand.
"How about you look at this?" John asked, pulling a gold bar from his pocket.
"Ah, let me see." The boss took over and identified it carefully.
"This is a common unified gold bar, 500 grams a piece. It's a very common thing. You can take it to the bank and exchange it for more than 600 or 700 bills. But when you come here, I can only give 500." After careful observation, the boss The approximate price of gold bars is stated.
"A little less," John said.
"It is indeed a little less, but this is the market price. If your gold bar is from the fifteenth or sixteenth century, even if the purity is not enough, I can give you a price of seven hundred. But it is obviously this year's thing, Even a few months ago." The boss explained the price patiently.
"What if the quantity is large?" John asked again.
"Well, look at how big it is." The boss looked at John and said uncertainly.
"Twenty or more."
"Oh~ that's really big. If it's all of this purity, I'll give you five hundred and eighty one." The boss was a little surprised, and then thought about the possible profits from this batch of goods.
"Count it, there are twenty-eight in total." John didn't talk nonsense, and put the belt directly in front of the boss.
"Well~ I thought you had something else in this bag." The boss said with a smile.
"A little bit, you can check it out." John motioned for him to check at will.
"Then wait for a while." Then the boss took five of them at random, and put the gold bars in a container. Turned around and kept fiddling.
John is not in a hurry, but appreciates this place.
If this guy's house is full of antiques like the oil lamp, then the value of the house is great.
About ten minutes passed.
"Very good, the purity is the same thing. Do you want cash or a passbook?" the boss said after checking.
"I suggest your passbook and some cash. After all, more than 16,000 US dollars are not easy to store." The boss said.
"Cash, bills always give me a sense of security." John rejected the suggestion of the passbook, he was not interested in going to the bank again.
"Wait a minute." The boss accepted the gold bar and walked into the back door.
I waited about three to five minutes. The boss came out with a box.
"It's all inside, you order, and I don't recognize any less after you go out." The boss talked about the rules here.
John took the box and opened it to see that it was full of ten dollar bills.
After looking through it carefully, he did not find any counterfeit banknotes after touching it for a few minutes. So I can't be bothered to finish it seriously.
With a wave of his hand, John indicated that the cash was sufficient.
"Happy cooperation." After the boss said this, he watched John leave the place.
John, who left here, went straight to the nearest pier.
Compared to Heishui Town, there are several times more merchant ships here.
John spent a few dollars to find a pier steward about a cargo ship that was leaving soon and would pass by the Blackwater pier. The captain was a bearded man in his forties and fifties, and he looked bold.
After some conversation, John boarded the cargo ship for twenty dollars, and the captain would dock once near the dock.
More than ten minutes later, the cargo ship started sailing.
John stood in the stern, smoking a cigarette, and glanced at the western civilization capital. It was past eleven o'clock now. But the city of Saint Denis is still brightly lit. And the exhaust gas surrounds.
"It's an astonishing city." John sighed as he looked at the gradually dwindling Saint Denis.
After smoking, John entered the workers' dormitory to rest.
At six o'clock tomorrow morning, the cargo ship will pass by Heishui Town pier, and someone will wake him up to disembark.
In his deep sleep, John was awakened by the roar of the cargo ship.
"Hey, young man, Blackwater Town is here, the captain told me to call you down." A man opened the door of the dormitory and shouted towards John who was sleeping on the bed.
"Thank you." When the door opened, John woke up and heard his destination.
He just got up and got off the boat.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was half past six in the morning and it was still dark.
He came to the place where the horses were stored yesterday and retrieved his own. Then walk in the direction of the manor.
John saw a notice while passing by the police station at the entrance of Blackwater Township.
It said that the person who took over as the sheriff of the police station at the entrance was not Baylor's confidant Ryan, but the former sheriff, Ford.
Aside from these, John rode to the manor on horseback. He left Blackwater Town for only one day and one night, but it seemed that he hadn't come back for a long time.
It was about eight o'clock when John returned to the manor.
Most of the people in the manor had finished their breakfast. Only Kane was drinking tea with a newspaper, and Nick was smoking a cigarette.
"You came back this morning?" Kane asked while sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
"Yeah." John nodded while eating potatoes and beef while sitting at the dining table.
"I'm still worried that you won't get the money today to let Nick and I go to the trading post to see the place." Kane reminded John about the money.
"I'll give it to you later." John responded as he ate.
After eating, John directly gave Kane ten thousand dollars. "The excess is used for other expenses," John said.
"We are too short of money." Kane took the money happily.
"Ah, by the way, yesterday at noon William sent someone to take away the girls and said to go through the formalities and documents for them. I took two thousand dollars for Anna to use as a handling fee, and Anna will be able to take them at noon today. Bring them back, have you figured out what to do with them?" After taking the money, Kane talked about the progress of William helping to deal with the identities of those girls.
"That's great, then I can let them do a lot of things. I bought five shops in Heishui Town. The locations are very good. Let them go to help first." He also took time to think about the fifteen girls. It just happened that I recently took over five well-positioned properties. If you want to stay, you can go where to help. If you don't want to send it back to the Qing Dynasty, it's not a big problem, although John doesn't recommend them to go back.
For the rest, after getting familiar with the process, we will see what talents these people have and make plans.
"You just have a plan." Kane said, and patted Nick who was smoking beside him.
"Nick, let's go, I'll show you the old place where I lived for more than ten years."
"Yeah." Nick got up and followed Kane out of the manor.
And John heard gunshots in the backyard of the manor after eating.
So I put down the cutlery and walked towards the backyard.
I saw a heroic figure practicing guns in the backyard.
Ofina's marksmanship is indeed very good, and she asks the manor's staff to help her throw bottles for her to shoot all kinds of bells and whistles in the distance.
"Great marksmanship," John exclaimed while applauding.
"You're back?" Ofina saw that John's expression was neither cold nor cold.
"Well, are you welcome?" John stepped forward and said haha.
"I just happened to be able to talk to you." Ofina ignored John's foolish behavior.
"Okay." John nodded wisely.
The two came to the pavilion of the manor.
"John, at the beginning you said you would give me a good job, and I came with you. Do you remember?" Ofina put the gun on the table and sat down and said to John.
"Well, yes, of course I remember."
"I'll tell you about my own experience. I grew up on my father's farm. My father started out as a bounty hunter. After saving a little money, he bought a piece of the farm himself and married my mother."
"But my father still goes out from time to time to pick up some bounty tasks that he thinks are not too dangerous. Under his influence, I have been exposed to guns since I was a child, and I have a good talent. When I was older, I would help my father to hunt down fugitives from time to time. ."
"Then one day, my father was chasing down a fugitive and never came back. My mother also died in depression not long after my father left. I never managed a farm, and I had no interest in it, and the farm failed within a few years. I started my father's old job as a bounty hunter. My marksmanship is good, and many people will ignore my danger because I am a woman." Ofina rambled about her past.
"Then why did you appear in Blackwater Town?" John listened with interest, and then asked.
"About half a year after I came out, I also caught some small fugitives or something. Then I heard about the big robbery in Heishui Town. I thought it was an opportunity, so I came here. Looking for an opportunity to make a fortune." Ofina said.
"Well, that's good." John commented after listening.
"Are you listening to me?" Ofina asked aggressively.
"Of course, I listened the whole time, and I listened very carefully." John spread his hands innocently.
"Forget it, what are you going to ask me to do?" Ofina asked.
"Well, what do you like to do, I have a lot of work here." John asked after thinking for a while.
"I have a detective agency in Heishui Town. There are about sixteen people under my team, and ten of them go out to work. I recently purchased five shops in Heishui Town, and I will recruit about twenty positions. This manor is about I own the 2,000 acres of land. You can also think that this place is mine, and it is already under development. It probably needs to recruit more than 100 workers. I also want a bootleg wine business~www.NovelMTL.com~ There are more than 20 employees." John casually introduced the assets he currently owns.
Hearing John's introduction, Ofina was stunned.
She looked at John carefully again, does this guy have so many assets?
"So where do you want to work?" John asked uncertainly. "Or what do you like to do. Detective? Store manager? Land development manager? ?"
"I think the detective is good, but I want to lead the team myself." Ofina said after thinking.
"Detective." John looked up and down at Offina's beautiful figure and delicate face, then shook his head and said, "Not very good."
"Why, didn't you say let me choose?" Ofina asked incomprehensibly.
"So, what do you think of the bodyguard? Do things with me. It's much better than the detective squad leader, and you don't have to run around in the wind and rain." John suggested slyly.
Hearing John's suggestion, Ofina looked at John's thirsty appearance, her face darkened.
"I'll go to the detective agency and give me a team, and I'll recruit the team myself." Ofina said with a cold face.
Seeing Ofina's cold face, John had no choice but to nod.
"Well, you first recruit three suitable people to be your teammates. I will let the detective agency give you some suitable cases for you to pick up. The detective agency of salary will give you every month."
"Yes." Ofina nodded in satisfaction.
"Well, tomorrow I'll let Lambert show you the working environment."
"Can't you do it today?" Ofina asked strangely.
"Today you are going to do something with me." John said with a smile.
