Chapter 33 The unexpected person appears

The two chatted for a few more words. At this time, many people had come to the banquet hall. When the two were about to walk back into the crowd, they saw a man with a beard following George.

The man whom Chester Company had met walked up to Bennett together.

"Old friend, long time no see." After saying that, he came over and gave Bennett a gentle hug.

"Long time no see, Benson."

"Who is this? I don't think I've seen him before."

"Then let me introduce to you, this is Paul Orwell, the new owner of Winchester."

"Paul, this is Benson Lauter from Western Ammunition."

"Nice to meet you, now."

"I'm very happy to meet you. I saw that you offered a price that Bennett couldn't refuse. Haha, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"Of course, one of us is a gun maker and the other is a bullet maker. We are natural partners. Haha"

"Haha, what you said is so right. Well, there is an old friend over there. Let's talk again when we have the opportunity." After saying that, the two shook hands, said hello to Bennett, and looked to the other side.

Go.

The three of them met and got another drink from the waiter. Of course, they were all intoxicated, but the content was relatively low.

Cocktails were invented at this time. In order to drink alcohol without exceeding the alcohol content specified by Prohibition, people came up with this method of mixing fruit juice and other things together.

Bennett introduced several people worth paying attention to in the banquet hall to Paul and Randy, and George silently remembered it in his mind. He told them that the purpose of this time was to discuss how to get some orders from the military.

Let’s get through this crisis.

Look, that's how capitalism works. Taxpayers' money is directly used to help arms dealers survive the crisis. However, now that George is the beneficiary, he won't pretend to be a virgin.

Bennett wanted to take the two of them to greet some people, but George did not go with him. He just let them go. George knew that Randy, as the successor, had to be promoted quickly before Bennett retired.

George can't do it himself. If George does it, he will definitely overshadow Randy. It's not easy to find a better worker, so you'd better be honest.

Just when George was holding a drink and looking at the Vanity Fair in the middle, there was a little commotion at the door of the banquet hall. Many people rushed there, as if to say hello to someone. Because George heard, General, General

of.

Someone from the military must have arrived. The one in George was far away, and the visitor was surrounded by others, so he didn’t pay attention to the other party.

George turned his face to the window, looking at the lights outside the window, he couldn't help but sigh. This must be the first time in his life to attend such a banquet. Haha, it's a pity. If I had taken a selfie in my previous life and sent it to a friend

circle, you will definitely get a lot of likes.

"George!?" George heard someone calling him, and when he turned around, he saw Pombo in military uniform, standing not far from him.

"Uncle Pangbo, why are you here?"

"This is what I want to ask, why are you here."

"Well, I and others will come in to see how fun it is."

"Is that so? Haha, I came here with the general. The general just arrived at West Point School and was going to purchase a batch of new products for student teaching, when the logistics department came here."

George understood that these people came tonight just for them. It can be said that the banquet was held for them. When George thought, he now has Winchester and an aircraft factory, so he can definitely participate and give it a try.

"Uncle Pangbo, I also have some good stuff here. Can you help me tell the general about it?"

"You still want to do the arms business? Haha, the wine business isn't enough for you? You still have to go to school, and you can't make as much money from selling arms as you do from selling wine. You're still young, and the water here is too deep."

"Well, that's right. The current Winchester company is mine, and I also have an aircraft manufacturing company. The F-1 aircraft is now also a product of my company. Look, haha."

George's words made Pangbo unable to react. After a while, he said: "You mean, you have two military factories under your control?"

Seeing George nod, Pombo couldn't help but wonder to himself, is it so profitable to smuggle alcohol now? It's directly two arms companies, and Winchester is not a small company.

"Let's go, the general is over there too, let's say hello together."

"Of course, when the general comes, I will definitely go and say hello."

Then the two of them walked towards the banquet center. At this time, the general was surrounded by only some high-level arms company leaders, such as the previous Western Ammunition Company, Colt Company, FN Company and Bennett himself. Just

Even Randy was talking to some other businessmen in the distance.

General Arthur was chatting with a few people when he saw his adjutant Pangbo, followed by a young man. Seeing the young man's face, General Arthur was also stunned. Others saw General Arthur and looked towards the scene.

Outside, everyone turned to look at the person coming.

"General, long time no see."

"Haha, it's you, George. Haven't you reported to school yet?"

"Not yet, the application has been sent, and the school has arranged an interview on August 10. So I have to wait."

"Well, you're not a soldier. Don't call me general like them. Just call me uncle, or Arthur."

Arthur here is not a sign of impoliteness, but a sign of closeness between two people after they have become very familiar. In the United States, calling elders by their names is a very normal thing.

"Okay, Uncle Arthur."

"Why are you here? This kind of banquet should not be liked by you young people, right? Haha" General Arthur also joked with George.

"Well, I also own two arms companies now, so I came to take a look."

"Oh, you still have an arms company?"

"Well, Winchester is mine now. And the F-1 plane is mine too."

As a member of the military, General Arthur certainly knows the importance of Winchester Company, and he also knows that the F-1 aircraft is also an excellent aircraft, but he was born at the wrong time and did not catch the good opportunity.

After hearing what George said, these people all looked at Bennett next to them.

"Yes, everyone, George was already the boss of Winchester Company more than a month ago, but there was no publicity."

After being affirmed by Bennett, many people looked at this shameless young man. He has already become a being on the same level as them at such a young age.

"Please take good care of me in the future."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and raised his hand as if to clink glasses, and then took a sip.

"Haha, you are young and promising. We will cooperate more in the future." Everyone also raised their glasses and took a sip.

General Arthur patted George on the shoulder and said: "Haha, okay, then you can stay and let's chat together."

The following cocktail party entered the trash talk session. Everyone was just chatting about current affairs and news, and no more about order business.

Because tonight is just an opportunity for everyone to meet, the real business still needs to be done. After Arthur's side is confirmed, it will be confirmed by the back-up department and then go through the process. It is not that simple to solve the problem over a drink.

After the banquet, General Arthur asked George to visit him when he had time, and then left.

George and Bennett arrived at their hotel first. George then asked Randy to speed up the production of a few M1 Orwell rifles after he went back. Later, he could participate in the military competition. Then he took out another drawing.

This drawing is of the M1911A1 pistol launched by Colt a few years later. It was improved on the basis of the M1911.

During the 74 long years from its formal service in 1911 to 1985, the M1911 pistol accompanied countless American officers and soldiers and experienced several large-scale wars such as World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It became recognized as the most valuable

The most reliable sidearm you can trust.

As for the M1911 series pistols, in addition to Colt, other companies and overseas military factories have obtained production licenses. The variety of models may be the largest among automatic pistols, and the production quantity is even greater. The orders in World War II alone were

There were about 5 million guns, and the Army's possessions at the end of the war in 1945 exceeded 2.7 million.

So George, who has this trump card, also wants to take a bite out of Colt's order.

The improvements between M1911A1 and M1911 include:

(1), widen the front sight, and develop the Orwell sight so that shooters can aim quickly under poor lighting conditions; the Orwell sight was invented by another person, but George actually beat him to it, so of course it was modified.

Name.

(2), lengthen the hammer to make it easier to pull with the thumb;

(3), shorten the clamping distance and increase the anti-skid pattern;

(4) The back of the grip is designed to be arched, and anti-slip patterns are added to the surface to make the shooter hold it more firmly; this item is designed as an add-on and can be modified or not.

(5), Change the grid anti-slip pattern of the grip guard to make it more comfortable to hold;

(6), a thumb groove is added behind the trigger to make pulling the trigger easier;

(7), Extended grip safety.

George took out the drawings and patent information and asked Randy to apply for the patent first and then process a few new guns.

He didn't care about how Bennett and Randy negotiated cooperation with Colt.

George returned home, called Paul and told him to come over tomorrow.

The next day, George told Paul what he had discussed with Bennett last night and asked him to cooperate with the procedures. He also gave him a check for 2 million US dollars. In fact, when he returned to the hotel where Bennett was staying, George also persuaded him.

However, if he can get the order, he will have a lot of income. I hope he can continue to stay.

However, Bennett refused due to physical discomfort. He told him that he would use this business deal and the negotiation with Colt as a lesson to teach Randy well, and then he could retire with peace of mind.

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, George said nothing more, as long as he paid attention to his health.

Now George's assets have shrunk once again. He still has more than one million yuan in bank deposits, and there is still a lot of cash in the space, more than one million yuan.

General Arthur helped with this military order. His rifle is also the best at the moment. He took a piece of the pistol part. The trainer should also be able to take part of it.

This calculation is probably enough. In fact, it is best for Boeing to negotiate the aircraft business, and now it can only be done by Paul for a while.

There is basically nothing going on here in New York. George is going to Los Angeles tomorrow. Then he will transfer to Nevada. It is time to resolve the Jewish gang issue.

The next day, George deliberately showed up outside and told interested people that he was still in New York. Then he went home in the afternoon, leaving a shadow clone at home, and the real body disappeared.

Many things can be done, but no clues can be left behind. George can let people know that he solved the Jewish gang, but he cannot let the police find out or catch him.
