He knew Daqi's personality very well. When he arrived at a new place, he would definitely plan the robbery route, so he thought about robbing it from the beginning.
Now, he only needs to find the specific information of the Lemoen National Bank in St. Denis.
Because before, he had already investigated the specific information of Lemoen National Bank, such as the number of guards, and had already understood everything.
The rest is to find out how much money there is and how many gold bars you can get.
If he wants to rob, how many people are needed, and the evacuation route, these are things that his think tank needs to consider. Although Duqi has always said that he has a plan, he usually just put forward a rough goal.
Most of the routes were actually led by Hosea and discussed with them.
"I'll go and see if Cornwall and Milton have noticed that we're here, be careful, everyone." Dutch said, and walked towards everyone at the banquet.
Wang Xuance also saw the arrival of Dutch and Arthur at the banquet below, but although he is bored now, he doesn't want to have anything to do with them yet, so he has no intention of meeting them for the time being.
At least, don't get involved with them in front of Bronte.
He knew that if Bronte saw him, he would definitely introduce himself to Arthur and the others, but he believed in Ducky's acting ability and would definitely not reveal that he knew him.
Although Bronte regarded him as a thorn in his eyes and once wanted to use his external moves to kill him directly, in Bronte's eyes, he was at least on the legal side.
If Bronte knew that he was mixed with Ducky and the others, then Bronte would have other tricks to deal with him.
You should know that although Earl Rith White almost competed with Bronte in St. Dennis, one side had control over law enforcement agencies such as police, and the other side had control over the largest mafia in the entire St. Dennis.
But there was not no support behind Bronte. Although he was the underground emperor of St. Denis, behind him were some of the upper and lower houses.
If you enter the eyes of those people behind you, you will be very dazzling. You must know that the more developed the region, the more deeply they are about racial discrimination.
Because the closer to the east, the longer they will implement the "Chinese Exclusion Act".
Although that damn bill only lasted for more than a decade from its introductory to its implementation, those damn mortals always have an inexplicable sense of superiority.
It was not until later generations that the great power in the East rose that they apologized for the establishment of this bill under public pressure.
Although he had been using the influence of Count Ritz-White for some time before, it had little effect, and only the four nearby continents abolished the bill.
There were people coming and going in the mayor's manor, and Wang Xuance was shuttled through the manor, but he felt a strong sense of separation.
So he stood by a flower bed, closed his eyes, and then continued to open his eyes. The strong sense of separation slowly disappeared.
This is also some of his own minor problems. Because he has always regarded these people as NPCs, he has this feeling. When facing Vivian and Earl Riswright, he has no such feeling.
Even when facing Arthur, he had this strange sense of separation.
After recovering a little, Wang Xuance continued to find the remaining target, Gilbert Knightley, the president of St. Dennis Bank.
He wanted to buy most of the idle land in New Austin, so that although he did not own a continent, he could have the management rights of this continent.
In New Austin, most of the land there is actually a borderless land and belongs to the United States.
If it was thirty years ago, there was no need for the United States to agree that as long as you declare your possession of the land, you could legally own that land.
Unfortunately, it is now the end of the 19th century and is about to enter the 20th century.
Now, New Mexico and others have not officially joined the US territory. If you have the opportunity to make a plan, especially Wang Xuance remembered a very famous company in the later generations, United Fruit.
This company once dominated the life and death of many countries in Latin America, and this is completely the supreme emperor of those countries.
If you will combine the business method of fruits...
Thinking of Wang Xuance, I suddenly remembered that I had seen the news before that the United Fruits had been established.
Thinking of this, Wang Xuance was stunned. He didn't expect United Fruit Company to be established so early.
I sighed and went to Gilbert, as New Austin had great potential.
When New Mexico is also incorporated into the United States in the future, you can also get some things from it. Although it is not much, it will definitely allow Wang Xuance to gain a firm foothold in New Mexico and even turn New Mexico into his thing.
This is not impossible, but now he has too few subordinates. Even if he buys so many places, no one is responsible for guarding and managing it, it is useless.
That's why he needs to have a good relationship with Gilbert now, so that when money is needed in the future, he can directly ask Gilbert for it.
Relationships still need to be maintained well, otherwise, I don’t know where to look for someone at that time.
Soon, Wang Xuanze found Mr. Gilbert Knightley, and in front of him there was an acquaintance, Hosea Matthews, but now his name is Alfred Lafund.
A very obvious French name, Gilbert heard Hosea's words, reached out his hand, shook with him, and then said his name: "Gilbert Knightley."
It can be seen that Gilbert looked down on the old guy Hosea, but he was still curious about what Hosea had to do with him, so he simply spoke first: "Hello, sir, are you French?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that he was taken to the trap, Hosea immediately said, "That's right, my ancestors are. But I am from Quebec. I have been away from there for a long time, sir, where are you?"
Gilbert was even more proud when he heard Hosea say he was a Quebec, but as a banker, he must be very polite to a guy like Hosea who is obviously rich.
"I'm not from here, I'm from New York. I'm a banker."
"Banker?" Hosea pretended to be surprised and complained.
"Yes, an investment banker." Gilbert responded with a smile.
Hosea complained with a full face: "You guys, you never lend me money when I need it. When I have a lot of money, they always try to lend me more."
Hearing Hosea's words, Gilbert believed in his thoughts even more. The Frenchman in front of him must be a rich man, and he must have a big business.
"Mr. Lafonde, what business do you do?"
Hosea also knew that this guy had taken the bait and he could definitely get more useful information from him.
"I was originally engaged in the fur business, but now I do everything, wood, leather, and even maple syrup." The things Hosea said were all Quebec's specialties, and what he said before was from Quebec, which made him even more trusted by the banker in front of him.
“My partners and I account for 20% of the import business from Quebec to the United States, well, it should be about 23%.
When Gilbert heard the share mentioned by Hosea, he was instantly aware of it. If all the shares mentioned by Hosea were received into his own bank, he would be able to be promoted to at least two more levels.
You know, what Hosea said was the import business from Quebec to the United States, which contained a lot of things, and the people who could come to this banquet must have certain identities, and what they said was basically true.
If the share mentioned by Hosea was handed over to the Lemoen National Bank to handle this business, then they would not have to go out to do things this year. As long as they stay in the bank, they would be the greatest contribution.
Although I didn’t talk about KPIs at this time, in fact, banks themselves depend on business capabilities. Otherwise, why did many relatives of bosses of large companies work in various banks in later generations?
Isn’t it because they can bring liquidity to the bank?
"Then, are you working with those banks?" Gilbert's tone became much more respectful tone when he thought to win over the Frenchman in front of him.
"It's just a few inconspicuous small banks in New York." Hosea said hesitantly.
Gilbert was delighted, "Then do you have any cooperation with banks in the South?"
"Not yet, because I haven't seen the bank I like very much yet." Hosea said, his eyes slowly drifting away. He knew that the guy in front of him must be moved.
Gilbert was indeed moved, and even his voice became less and less: "That's it, have you ever considered the Lemoen National Bank?"
Hosea looked disdainful: "My God, sir, what I want is a big bank, not a township bank. We borrow big money and earn a lot of cash. If the market is not good, those damn small banks will completely go bankrupt."
"Sir, no no, no, we are not a small bank. We handle more cash and all kinds of equivalents than any bank south of Manhattan, including St. Louis. Almost all Caribbean merchants work with us."
