Chapter 303 You don’t want to see me lose my temper, do you?
George Stanford and Emily Stanford came to Chen Zhengwei's club and then saw Chen Zhengwei in his office.
It can be said that in the whole of San Francisco, no one doesn't know this person.
However, when they saw Chen Zhengwei sitting behind the table, they were both stunned. The other person was too young.
Then Emily's eyes were shining. He was rich, powerful, influential, full of strength and masculine charm, and also very handsome.
She felt her heart beating violently.
"Congratulations, both of you!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile; "From today on, you are millionaires!"
Just two hours ago, Leland Stanford's estate had been divided.
The two men acquired Leland Stanford’s “mansion” on Nob Hill, which, of course, had been burned down.
The decoration inside was completely destroyed, and even the exterior had suffered considerable damage.
Therefore, the proportion in the inheritance is not high.
"Mr. Chen, I'm a little curious, why do you want that manor so much?" George Stanford asked curiously.
The other party's purpose was not the stocks left by Leland Stanford, but a manor that had been burned by fire, which made him think that the manor might contain some secrets.
"Nob Hill is the highest mountain in downtown San Francisco, and the scenery is beautiful." Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.
It overlooks half of San Francisco, and that's where he should live.
Besides, the neighbors around here are either railroad tycoons or bankers. Maybe we can have some business exchanges and expand our business.
Chen Zhengwei thinks it will definitely happen.
Soon, the two signed the contract.
Chen Zhengwei spent $12 to buy the estate on Stanford Knob Hill.
In fact, the land alone is worth more than $15. After all, it is Nob Hill, a gathering place for wealthy people.
The land alone is worth a lot of money.
Moreover, although the manor had been burned down, the main building was still there, as well as other gardens and so on.
However, when the estate was divided, the estate was only worth $12.
"Mr. Chen, can I come to visit you if I come to San Francisco again?" Emily Stanford said with a smile. Although it was their first meeting, she was a fascinated by Chen Zhengwei.
George Stanford, who was standing nearby, turned his head to look at her, then gave her a light kick.
The person in front of me is not a good person.
And there are rumors that Leland Stanford's death was related to him.
"Of course, you're welcome anytime!" Chen Zhengwei looked at the freckled girl. Together, these two people were newly minted millionaires.
I was wondering whether I should have someone take them to the casino to have some fun.
After a while, George Stanford and Emily Stanford left. After leaving the door, George Stanford warned Emily: "Stay away from him. You know the rumors about him."
"But he looks very manly! And very young, and it seems he is not married yet!" Emily Stanford's eyes narrowed with smile.
"It's just a Chinese, and very dangerous!" George Stanford warned again.
"Don't worry, I'm just talking. But seeing him has greatly changed my view of Chinese people!" Emily said after she sobered up.
……
"Master Wei, George Jones, the owner of the New York Times, was shot in front of the newspaper office!" Wanyun came to Chen Zhengwei's office.
"Is he dead or not?" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows, quite expectant.
That bastard had caused him trouble several times.
"It's not clear yet. The other party is receiving treatment at home. There is no news yet. In addition, the New York police are tracking down the whereabouts of the gunman!" Wanyun shook his head.
After learning about the shooting, Green asked someone to send a telegram to inform Chen Zhengwei, while he continued to keep an eye on the police.
If Vincent was caught by the police, he would have to find a way to kill Vincent.
For this purpose, he also prepared hundreds of kilograms of explosives, enough to dedicate the entire police station to God.
"Forget it, let's go see my manor first!" Chen Zhengwei stood up, picked up his coat and went out. He took people to Chinatown to pick up Lin Changning, and then came to Nob Hill.
However, we were stopped just as we reached the intersection on the mountain.
"Whose bodyguard are you? Do you want to stop me?" Chen Zhengwei looked out of the car window and said expressionlessly.
The thugs on the front and rear carriages had already gotten off the carriages, and it looked like they might pull out their guns at any time.
This made the bodyguards at the intersection a little nervous. "We are from the Nob Hill Autonomous Association... This is private territory, sir, may I ask why you are here?"
They knew who was in front of them, and they didn't want to stop him, but they were paid, so they had no choice.
The Nob Hill Community Self-Help Association was established because of Chen Zhengwei.
"What a coincidence! I just bought a manor in Nob Hill! I can also join the Autonomous Association, right?" Chen Zhengwei suddenly laughed, and then smiled at the bodyguards: "We can have fun later!"
Then his eyes turned fierce: "No one is going to stop me from going home now, right?"
If these people still wanted to stop him, he would sink them into the sea.
Several bodyguards felt a little nervous, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped aside.
After all, compared with work, life is more important.
"Autonomous Association?" Chen Zhengwei sneered. He knew this.
Yan Qingyou had told him before that this autonomous association had quite a few people, and there were checkpoints at every intersection. It was said that there were nearly a thousand staff members, all of whom were bodyguards for various wealthy people.
It goes without saying who this autonomous association is targeting.
"They are still too stingy. Wait until I join the Autonomous Association and triple the number of security guards in the Autonomous Association!" Chen Zhengwei said to Lin Changning with a smile.
"The most important thing in life is to be magnanimous!" "I'm afraid they can't sleep well!" Lin Changning smiled.
Lin Changning was extremely beautiful when she smiled, especially after she got married. Her smile became more gentle and not as calm as before.
"There's nothing I can do. I have a lot of bodyguards!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.
After being blocked by two groups of bodyguards, Chen Zhengwei began to get impatient: "Go tell the people behind me that I'm not happy right now. If anyone blocks me again, I'm going to get mad!"
"You don't want to see me lose my temper, do you?"
After Chen Zhengwei finished speaking, he let the carriage wait for five minutes before continuing up the mountain.
Sure enough, no one stopped him this time.
Chen Zhengwei successfully arrived at the Stanford mansion on the top of the mountain.
The yard hasn't changed much, just a lot more weeds.
"It looks huge!" Lin Changning also visited the place for the second time.
But this time, the feeling is completely different from the last time I came here.
"This place covers an area of nearly 20 acres and is located in the very center of San Francisco!" Chen Zhengwei stopped the carriage, and he and Lin Changning got off the carriage and looked around as they walked.
There are lawns and gardens outside, the road is paved with cement, and there is a fountain in the center of the manor.
The mansion in the front had blackened marks all over its exterior and its windows were broken, making it look like a ruin.
"I wish I had set the fire a little smaller!" Chen Zhengwei looked at the manor house in front of him, smacked his lips, and felt somewhat regretful.
After all, it was his own manor that was burned!
Be sure to pay attention to this next time.
"How could I care about all these at that time?" Lin Changning felt that Chen Zhengwei was greedy.
"And it would be better if they were all rebuilt... so many people died here, it's not good feng shui!"
"I'm not afraid of them when they're alive, but they dare to come to me after they're dead. I'll let them die again!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.
There was nothing to see in the house, everything was burned down, even the stables were burned down.
There is also a two-story building next to it, which is where the bodyguards, grooms and gardeners live, and it was not burned.
The most important thing about this estate is the land.
"Ask the construction company from last time to come to me tomorrow and make a plan to rebuild the manor!" Chen Zhengwei turned his head and said to his henchman.
Tell it to others first, so that you won’t forget it later.
He also formed a construction company and contracted to build Telegraph Hill Elementary School.
However, his construction company was not good enough to build such a manor. The construction company that was responsible for the renovation and decoration of the club last time was quite good.
While Chen Zhengwei and Lin Changning were strolling around the manor, other manors in Nob Hill also received the news.
When people learned that Chen Zhengwei had bought Stanford Manor, many felt their scalps tingling.
What are you afraid of?
As for those railroad tycoons, they knew this a long time ago.
When they learned that Chen Zhengwei's target was only Stanford's manor, they were relieved and tacitly did not compete with Chen Zhengwei.
And they successfully got what they wanted, shares of the Central Pacific Railroad.
……
George Jones at his home in New York.
"Ma'am, we found the bullet!" a doctor said excitedly to George Jones' family.
Of course, it is impossible for such a wealthy man to be treated in the hospital.
In fact, at that time, hospitals were just starting out, and the rich invited doctors to their homes.
Then several doctors used their fingers and various instruments to search in George Jones' body for three days and finally found the bullet. Although there were some minor problems during the process, such as rupturing other internal organs, it was just a minor problem.
George Jones was very lucky, the bullet passed just above his heart.
But whether you can survive depends on luck.
After all, those doctors' skills were somewhat crude, and they had no protection or awareness of sterility.
Even though this is the best doctor in New York.
"Now the biggest problem has been solved. Mr. Jones will definitely survive!" the doctor vowed.
Of course, although the doctor was very confident, George Jones' family did not think so.
During the Civil War, more soldiers died from infection than on the battlefield.
"Sheriff Wood, we must catch the gunman at all costs!" George Jones' family turned around and said to the police chief.
“We will do our best!”
Although George Jones is not a top tycoon like Morgan, Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie, he is a leader in the American newspaper industry and has a huge influence on the American newspaper industry.
When such a person is assassinated, their investigation bureau is under a lot of pressure.
A day later, Vincent was hiding in a residential building. Hearing the sound of horse hooves downstairs, he immediately became alert.
A moment later, a team of police officers rushed in, but the room was empty.
"The coffee is still hot, and the man wasn't gone for long... He ran out of the back window, chase him! He can't get far!"
