《1855 American Tycoon》Chapter 28: Prey
Advertisement
"Bang!" A white smoke came out from the muzzle of the gun, and at the same time, an 11mm caliber bullet flew out from the barrel. Then, everyone saw a goat standing on the cliff face, like a ripe fruit falling from a fruit tree rolled down and hit. So far!"
The shot also alerted the other goats and two wild dogs that were tearing at their prey. The two dogs let go of their prey, which was already struggling and stared suspiciously with wide eyes at the large, strange-looking animals. And those trapped in the rock wall goats are wailing, while carefully moving their bodies, their hooves will be a lot of debris trampled down.
Warren? Drano quickly pull the chamber, exit the cartridge case, then fill a new bullet ...... almost in a blink of an eye, he finished reloading, and then a "bang" shot, and another goat fell from the cliff face. This time, all the animals, whether goats or wild dogs feel the danger, two wild dogs issued a wail, leaving behind their prey, pinning up their tails, fleeing into the deep weeds, in a blink of an eye, and disappeared. The goats, however, ignored the danger that might still be around and jumped down from the rock face along those protruding rocks one after another.
"Bang!" Another shot was fired and another goat fell in response.
"Mr. Warren, you're a great shot. , do not open the robbery again, okay, we do not have to play. There must be some left for us." Miss Helen is not very happy.
"Ah, sorry, I saw a good gun, a like to fire a few more shots." Then he neatly withdrew the shells and handed the gun back to Scrooge, "Scrooge, that's a great gun, accurate and fast, it's incomparable. I see the rise of another Colt company. Well, this is the first rifle produced in your factory. Why don't you give it to me as a souvenir?"
"Mr. Warren, that's not right. I made a deal with Scrooge that this rifle was to be given to me for my collection." JP Morgan said unsatisfactorily, "You'd better wait until this thing is in mass production and let Scrooge give you the third one in mass production."
"Why the third one?" Warren Delano said.
"Because the first one is for Scrooge's collection, and the second one is for mine. Because I'm an important collaborator." JP Morgan seems to be deliberate to stimulate stimulating Warren Delano. JP Morgan has a very good talent, but also a rather eccentric personality, for this, the old Junius (JP Morgan's father) can not worry a lot.
"Scrooge, give it to me to try." JP Morgan said to Scrooge.

"Okay." Scrooge handed JP Morgan the gun and the bullets, and Joshua came over with Helen. Scrooge began to show JP Morgan how to use the gun.
"Well, this loading is a lot faster. No wonder Warren Delano fired so fast in the morning. If it is on the battlefield, such a gun can be topped by the firepower of five or six for guns. Not to mention the prospect of your speculation, just rely on this gun, it is enough to ensure that you make money from the sale." JP Morgan fiddled with the gun while telling Scrooge, "But the federal government is not necessarily willing to buy your guns, because the military expenditure of such things, in Congress, is always very difficult to pass. So generally speaking, the only criterion for the federal army to choose weapons is cheap. I suppose your gun must be a little more expensive?"
"Well, Springfield's striker-fired guns cost $15 a piece, and mine cost a lot more, so I'd have to sell them for at least $30 a piece to make any money," Scrooge replied.
"So, don't expect the Army to use your guns yet. It's the immigrants, and maybe some Southerners, who would like your guns." JP Morgan said as he looked around for prey.
However, the sheep had already fled to nowhere, JP Morgan looked around and found nothing, so he said to Scrooge: "In a month, I'm going back to Europe to study again. But before that, on the cooperation with you, I will talk seriously with my father. In the future, we will become long-term partners."
......
After that, JP Morgan led everyone around the mountain and half a circle, and finally found a goat, Jp Morgan to show the craft, a little farther than the previous distance opened fire, the result, was his shooting was not as good as he thought, the goat successfully escaped a robbery. JP Morgan would like to play a few more shots but has not had the opportunity to shoot Miss Helen can not wait.
"You're all too damned! The long gun is good, so far away from the shooting, still, let not let people play? I have not fired a single shot so far!" She stomped her foot and looked at the small shotgun in her hand, her two big eyes were wide open, and there seemed to be torn in her eyes.
"Ah, miss, I'm sorry." JP Morgan said.
"Apologize with a real action, why don't you just give me that gun to use as a sign of your apology." Helen immediately dropped her shotgun, (scaring Joshua shout: "Watch out for the fire!) Two small hands grasped the rifle in JP Morgan's hand as if it were the most beloved toy.

"Miss Helen, weakened anxious ...... well, it will give you. But you have to pay attention, this thing recoil is very big ......" helpless JP Morgan only had to give the gun to Helen.
Several people have been around the sea, only to see some more can shoot the prey, and a few goats are licking the rocks on the sea what?
"None of you are allowed to shoot!" Helen shouted first.
Everyone laughed, the goats were not familiar with humans and did not take these approaching people to heart, for them, these strange animals are still too far away from them, they think this distance is enough to ensure their safety.
Helen struggled to raise her gun and aim for half a day, and felt a little farther away, and then took a few steps forward, and then stopped at a reef, and she hid her body carefully behind the reef, and then set her gun on the reef, and aimed for a while, and then fired a shot.
A goat fell head-first to the ground.
"Got it, got it!" Helen ran out from behind the reef, exclaiming excitedly as she ran.
"A little girl can hit a shot from such a distance. The battlefield is expected to get bloodier and bloodier in the future. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're getting into. You're not afraid that people will accuse you of having a black heart?" Joshua said to Scrooge, who was standing beside him.
"Oh, if this will go to hell, hell must be full of farmers, because, without the food they grow, no one can fight the war. And as for the accusations of others, well, 'Once the money makes the noise, the bad words stop.' Isn't that right?" Scrooge looked at Joshua and replied with a smile.
"That's a good point!" Joshua smiled back and nodded his head. "When the money rings, the bad words stop" is the Rothschild family motto. This half-grown boy seems to have done some preparation.
It was noon, and the servants roasted the goats they had picked up from the cliffs on the beach, and the smell of roast lamb could be smelled from a distance. Everyone's stomach was hungry, so they all went back to the shore. By this time, the servants had already prepared tables and chairs for them and set up umbrellas. The silver tableware was also neatly arranged ......
For these tigers and wolves at the top of the food chain, lunch is not only a time to fill their stomachs, but also a time to communicate with each other. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. During this period several businessmen took the opportunity to come over and say a few words to Scrooge, some of them also left him their business cards and expressed to him their wish for future cooperation.
After lunch, everyone boarded the yacht again and embarked on the return journey ......
The next day, JP Morgan told Scrooge that his father, Junius Morgan, had given him full control of the company. JP Morgan told Scrooge that his father, Junius Morgan, had given him full authorization, and now they could talk in detail about the cooperation between the two parties.
JP Morgan gave Scrooge two options to choose from. The first option is for JP Morgan Bank to provide him with a commercial loan. Considering the current economic situation, although JP Morgan itself is very optimistic about the prospects of his business, the loan that can be provided to him is limited, well, up to $150,000, and it must be guaranteed by Scrooge's business and the relevant patents in his hands, in addition, the interest rate will not be favorable. The company's main goal is to provide a good service to the customers. Nowadays, it is not so easy to borrow money from the bank.
The second option was for Morgan Bank to take a $150,000 stake in Scrooge's McDonald Gun Works, for which Scrooge would have to transfer 40 percent of his shares to Morgan Bank and a right of first refusal if Scrooge sold his shares thereafter (that is, if at any time Scrooge intended to sell his shares, he would have to inform Morgan Bank, and if Morgan Bank wished to acquire the shares, it would have a right of first refusal to buy the shares after JPMorgan Bank has a right of first refusal among all bidders in the event of an equal bid) and a guarantee that Scottrade will not invest in any company whose operations overlap with those of Scottrade, provided that Scottrade still holds shares in the company. If he chose this option, Scrooge would not even have to consider the pressure of repaying the loan, but the limitations of this option are also very high. First of all, Scrooge felt that his future 40 percent of the company's shares could be worth much more than $150,000, and at the same time, allowing a financial predator like JPMorgan Bank to take such a large share, Scrooge was always a little uneasy, always worried that one day he would wake up and find that the company had become the Morgan family.
So Scrooge was torn, but he still made the decision in the end.
