Hockley stared at him with a frown. "You are Walker, Russell Walker."

"good eyesight."

Russell clapped his hands in appreciation. He sat on the sofa by the window and lit a cigarette.

"Mr Hockley, please sit down."

Hockley glanced at the executives, and sat opposite him with puzzled eyes.

"Shall we exchange some pleasantries first, or go straight to the point?"

"Go straight to the point, Mr. Walker."

"Well, how much compensation do you think should be paid for my mental damage?"

Hawkley was taken aback.

Let you go straight to the point, but not so straightforward!

"What does that mean?" He chose to play dumb.

Russell smiled and said: "You sent people to New York to catch me, didn't you want me to come to see you? But the people you sent may not come back, because they tried to hurt me and my family, understand? My family You have been threatened and your spirit has been stimulated, and you are responsible for it!"

Hockley said calmly: "That's right, I did send people to New York to invite you to meet in Philadelphia, but I didn't let them hurt you... That was their own behavior, why should I be responsible."

"Hahaha…"

Hearing this, Russell couldn't help laughing.

As expected of an old capital, the speeches are so interesting, and even the thinking is so unique.

"For people like you, I didn't intend to talk about it, because people like you are full of fallacies and heresy, and you always think you are right."

"Now, I only give you two choices."

"One, I am satisfied with the compensation! Two, you, all your family members, and company executives will go to the Delaware River to learn how to swim!"

Hockley was confident, and spread his hands and said: "Mr. Walker, as a shipwreck hero, you shouldn't treat the families of the victims like this. If it is spread, your reputation will be subverted..."

Russell leaned forward and slapped Hockley on the cheek. Hockley was hit hard and fell sideways. Fortunately, the chair had armrests, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

"That's how I fucking do things! Fame? Do you think I care! You send someone to New York to trouble me, so I can't come to Philadelphia to ask you for compensation? What the fuck!"

"I tell you, I came here today with sincerity, otherwise I would have sent you to see Jesus earlier, and you must not leave empty-handed. My brothers are still hungry."

Hockley covered his swollen face, stared at him with a frown, and asked, "I just want an answer! Did Karl really die in a shipwreck? Why are other celebrities and nobles all right, but my son? Besides, why did my son's fiancée come with me?" about you?"

Russell looked at him calmly and said, "The reason is that Spicer, your son's personal bodyguard, shot and killed Ruth's mother Fisher. I shot your son a few times in the restaurant, but missed him. Understand? I stayed His life!"

"There are a lot of celebrities and nobles who died in the shipwreck. How can you say that no one died? I am only one person, and I can't save all of them! Mr. Ismay, the president of White Star Shipping, Mr. Gordon, they are not in your eyes. Are you a celebrity or aristocrat?"

"You only want to hear what you want to hear. Your heart is dark. I am on board as a safety consultant. Naturally, I want to protect the safety of my employer...Mr. Hockley, do you understand?"

Hockley frowned, "But some people say you killed Carl and Spicer!"

"Spirit was killed by one of my employees when he was about to attack my employer and after I fired back the gun accidentally killed Ruth's mother."

Hockley rubbed his hot face, shook his head and cried, "No... Karl is so smart, he couldn't have died in a shipwreck, he couldn't have died on board!"

Russell looked at him calmly without saying a word.

After a while, Hockley wiped away his tears and said, "Then why did the survivors frame you?"

"Because you placed a reward, they have to say something you want to hear before you give them money. Do you know why I didn't come to you immediately after I learned that you pointed the finger at me? I just wanted to see See if you're an idiot!"

"It turns out that you are indeed an idiot. But I can understand, after all, you lost your only son. I am sorry for your death of Carl. But for Ruth's choice, I just want to say that she chose the right one, not mistake!"

Hockley watched him unable to calm down for a long time, and when he thought of his daughters, his heart ached even more.

It is impossible for him to let his son-in-law inherit his family business...

"Thank you for your understanding. I am old and should go to the countryside to enjoy the blessings, but the property I have accumulated cannot be thrown away."

Russell said, "What do you think?"

Hockley glanced at everyone in the room, including those executives, and said slowly: "I am willing to pay 20 US dollars in compensation, but you have to spend 200 million US dollars to buy my shares."

Russell smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Hockley, you missed the point. Of course I can spend money to buy the shares in your hand, but you must ensure that it is legal. I need at least three witnesses."

"What about the Chief of the Philadelphia Police Department, the President of the Iron Workers, and the Secretary of the State of Pennsylvania?"

Russell raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and said, "180 million, the shares of all the industries in your hand."

"..."

Hockley shook his hand.

In fact, the Hockley family's property in Philadelphia is more than 200 million US dollars, worth at least 500 million...

The reason why he sold it at a low price was to satisfy Russell, otherwise he might not be able to do well tonight.

If everyone in the manor died, who knew Walker did it?

Death is also a white death.

After Hockley's death, his family will be discriminated against, ridiculed and treated unfairly, and the property will be taken back and divided by the government and other companies.

Why not take the cash and go to the countryside to provide for the elderly, since he has no son anyway.

"These executives, what are you going to do?"

Hockley frowned and said, "In addition to my shares, the steel company also has theirs, but the proportion is very small. You decide."

Russell turned to Thomas Tai, "go to work."

"Ok."

Thomas Tai sent someone to drag the executives into the next room and taught them how to spit out the bones they had swallowed.

There was a scream from next door.

Hockley sat calmly on the chair and smoked the cigarette that Russell handed him. Looking at the young man in front of him, he suddenly felt lucky.

Chapter 116 Steel and Food Company, add some ingredients!

He knew very well what the other party was rushing for.

Just compensation?No, the other party came for his family business.

After there is no son to inherit the family business, the company's executives and opponents are also eyeing Hockley, trying to squeeze him out.

In such a situation, do you have to ask how to choose?

Of course life-saving is the most important thing, wealth?For a family without a son, it is like a radish with a broken root, which can only rot in the ground.

"Mr. Hockley, do you know why I have come, and why have you provoked me?"

Hockley said: "You have a good relationship with Astor and those people. If the steel company is at the helm of you, it may continue."

"You have planned this for a long time, so you are not doing it for Karl, but to save the lives of yourself and your family."

He shook his head: "It was indeed for Carl at first, he is my son, how could I not care about him. But you brought the Philadelphia Crows here, and you should be able to control them not long after you came to Philadelphia, which shows that you are very Capable. Maybe even more ruthless than those robbers who tried to attack my family..."

Originally, Russell had no intention of killing Hockley, because he was more useful alive than dead.

Anyway, no one knew how Carl died. Even Adam, who saw Carl last, was following him with all his heart. With Tommy watching over him, it was absolutely impossible to betray him.

And Hockley is also a sensible person. He knows that Philadelphia is changing rapidly, and many people are coveting his family business. They bought the governor and others...

Two days later.

Witnessed by the Pennsylvania Secretary of State and the president of the Steelworkers Association, the Sheriff, Hockley sold the family-owned property for $180 million.

That night, Russell had a friendly conversation with the Secretary-General and others, and arranged must-see items in Philadelphia.

As for the executives of the steel company, they also handed over their shares. Russell did not give any compensation, but only paid them high wages, and took pictures of their family information on their faces, clearly telling them to do things well.

Steel companies, transportation companies, and steel plants continued to operate as usual. Russell did not carry out reforms, because it was not the time yet. He wanted the workers to feel his compassion, which was the key to reforms.

He asked Thomas Tai to recruit more than a hundred people and set up the Security Department, with Thomas Tai as the head of the Security Department of Walker Steel Company.

Various families and companies in Philadelphia discussed Hockley and Walker. At first they didn't know who Walker was, but when they heard that it was Mr. Walker, the shipwreck hero, they suddenly realized.

They guessed that maybe Hockley found Astor or Isidor and asked them to buy the company, but Astor might not be interested, so he sent a favor to the savior Mr. Walker...

This group of people is obviously making up their minds, but no one has tried to prove it.

Because they all knew that a group of people broke into Hockley Manor that night...

In the United States, you can offend the rich, famous, aristocrats and even those in power, but you can only offend those rats who hide in the dark sewers to survive.

Because when they are extremely hungry, they don’t care whether you have washed your body or not, they will eat you without any bones left, and even follow your smell to your family’s bedroom...

On the third day after Russell left Philadelphia, Hockley moved his family to a rural farm in New Jersey. He had just settled his family when the body appeared on the banks of the Delaware River.

Thomas Tai went to the farm and found that the Hockley family was alive, but all the cash left at home had been stolen.

After Russell heard the news, he asked Thomas Tai to keep an eye on the big shots in Philadelphia. Although he had a few suspects, he couldn't make a precise move without conclusive evidence.

Hockley gave away his family property to an outsider at a low price, which would surely make Philadelphia's celebrity tycoon furious, and it was doomed that Hockley would not end well.

Of course he would not avenge Hockley, but he had to be on his guard.

New York, Brooklyn.

Since Russell came back, he felt that the street was much cleaner, and Bagsey came to report the situation.

The murderer who killed the old Mr. Backstreet and the nanny had been sunk into the East River Estuary, and Frank, the boss in charge of the area, was also held to death at home by Bagsey and Lyons.

Mr. Walker, Mr. Bagsey's boss, has the final say on this area now.

Russell gave him two pieces of advice.

First, quickly rectify the chaotic situation in the area and establish order.

Second, open a department store in the Jewish Quarter, and members who join the store enjoy a [-]% discount.

As for how to rectify and establish order, what to sell, and where to buy goods, it is up to Bagsey to decide.

Bugsy has good execution ability, but his brain is not good. After setting up the order in the block, he didn't know where to buy the goods.

Russell was very annoyed by this, looked at Bugsy's face and wanted to give him two slaps, but finally endured it, after all, Bugsy is also a rookie, it is impossible to do everything in every possible way.

"The store focuses on small snacks. Go and see if there is a food factory in Brooklyn. If there is one that is about to go bankrupt, buy it."

When Bugsey heard this, he immediately took Lyons around Brooklyn. Sure enough, there were two food factories that were about to close down.

After coming back to report to Russell, Russell patted his head and asked, "Didn't you ask the price?"

Bagsey was stunned for a moment, then took Lyons and left in a hurry.

Russell was a little helpless. Apart from fighting, Bagsey and the others didn't have any talent for doing business. Only Lyons had some brains, but not much...

The next day, Bugsey inquired about the exchange prices of the two food factories. Together with the land, they actually cost US$150 million and US$168 million.

This is completely playing with the two of them as children.

When Bagsey knew he had been tricked, he was furious. That night, he took his brothers to find the owners of two food factories and put them in a frying pan for interrogation.

The two bosses are also stubborn people, and they took the initiative to reduce the price to 43 and 52 US dollars before the oil pan was ignited!

This is the price including the land and no debt.

Bugsy pressed the heads of the two bosses and asked them to sign the exchange contract and put their fingerprints on it.

When Russell saw the $95 contract, the way he looked at Bagsey also changed.

Although he has no brains, he dares to take action, which can barely be regarded as a shining point.

"When will the money be given?"

Bugsy scratched the back of his head and said, "Boss, I didn't tell them when to pay them, or we wouldn't pay them."

"What is business? Business is what you want. Now that you have signed the contract, you must perform the contract. As for when to perform it, we will talk about it. But there are other solutions. These two bosses should have some channels. Let them teach you how to do business." Doing business... Do you understand?"

"Understood, then I will delay if I don't give the money, and I will give it later when I make money."

Bagsey belongs to the common people, has never seen the world, and only has his interests in his heart.

Russell shook his head: "No. You leave their addresses, and I'll send them some money later."

"Okay...boss."

The next day, Russell asked Tommy to send $20 to each of the two bosses, and had a detailed chat with them.

Tommy's language and speaking skills were learned from Russell, and the two bosses chatted very happily. The three of them went to the red light street that night and developed a very real comrade-in-arms friendship.
