Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Want to Buy a Freight Yard?

Sean Knight could clearly sense the condescending superiority in George’s tone.

It was as if George was saying in plain sight, I’m the one who gave you this opportunity, how can you not recognize this favor?

Perhaps George did not even notice his tone, or did not intentionally exert it.

But it was just this innate attitude of George’s that ignited Sean’s anger.

Wake up, big shot. It’s not the era of the Eight-Nation Alliance anymore!

Do you still consider yourself superior, segregating people into various grades and ranks, placing the Chinese at the bottom, as in ancient China?

Well then, I won’t put up with this!

Maybe Sean Knight was being radical, maybe he was being sensitive, but this feeling of discomfort simply could not be brushed off.

Not everyone was like this though.

Joanna, Mr. John, Susan, and even Carden from the pier; none of them were superior or condescending when facing Sean Knight.

That’s why Sean was especially furious!

After transferring 20,000 dollars to George, Sean left him with a few words, "We’re square now!"

When George called again, Sean ignored it.

Then he went to Jason’s rented house.

The family was very happy to see Sean drop by. Malawi hurriedly cleared a seat for him while Freya brought delicious porridge and side dishes.

Looking at the familiar food and drink, Sean was happy.

That’s what it should be like!

Why worry about all that? Enjoying a good meal so one can deal with more important matters is what matters!

"Bosuns, are we going to the port later?" Jason asked while having his meal.

This man had already learned how to use chopsticks quite well to eat his meal.

"Hmm, we’re going to the port," Sean thought he didn’t have anything else to do, so he decided to go and open the containers first.

His first pot of gold came from the containers, and he was more adept at dealing with them.

Just as he finished eating, Jason received a call that disrupted his plans.

The call was from Robert.

"What? You sorted it out?" Sean felt that Robert was quite efficient:

"Can you tell me the details?"

"These guys are not the same batch as the Latino Americans from before. They seem to be a branch." Robert tried to be as detail-oriented as possible, "They have a few freight yards and just intend to make some illegal money.

We had someone check their papers and found that some of them had snuck in. So we intimidated them a bit and also sent in some government officials. In the end, most of them fled in fear..."

Sean was speechless.

There is such a plot twist, huh!

Initially, Sean guessed Robert might send someone to beat up the ringleader, or carry out some surreptitious assassination plot.

Exactly, there was a scheme, but this scheme seemed to be more like a drama.

"Now these people have no threat left to you. Occasionally, one or two may slip through the net, but I doubt they’d ever think of causing you trouble again."

Sean looked at Jason and suddenly thought of something, asking:

"What’s the current situation with those freight yards?"

"Most of the freight yards are basically empty, they haven’t started operations yet, so they’re going to be handled and moved out. After all, only one of these yards has a proper license..."

"The one with the proper license, I want it!" Sean suddenly interjected.

"You want it?" Robert didn’t expect Sean to have such a thought, "Can you manage it? It requires a lot of people, and nearby freight yards will fight over sources due to competition..."

In other words, Sean did not have the manpower or power to handle it.

Sean laughed. He looked at Jason again, saying:

"I think I can solve that. I want to know what price I need to pay to get a freight yard?"

"You seriously want it?" Robert could tell that Sean was serious, but he still found it difficult to believe.

He knew Sean’s situation quite well. This Chinese boy, who still can’t be considered fully secure, has already started making moves?

Was he stimulated by his girlfriend’s family?

"If you really want it, you need to give us another 30,000 dollars. The issue is that running a freight yard is not just about having the manpower. You also need funds, and the preliminary investment can’t be less than several hundred thousand dollars. As for you..."

"Don’t worry, there will always be money!" Sean answered confidently.

"Alright, if you have time, we can meet. By the way, the will can also be handed over to you now."

Sean Knight became excited at the mention of this!

Hadn’t he been working so hard in this unfamiliar place for this purpose?

He was one step closer to his goal!

After hanging up the phone, Sean said to Jason:

"The thing you told me about last time has been settled. I’ve sorted out the freight yard, and I’ll leave the personnel matters to you! Now I’ll go get the paperwork for the freight yard, and we can go check out the yard this afternoon."

Before Jason could react, Sean got up and left.

Jason was as if stuck in place!

It was only after a while that he exclaimed:

"Bosuns, is this true?"

Malawi replied:

"Bosuns has already left. But I suppose this is true, he made it clear over the phone with that mysterious person that the freight yard belongs to Bosuns..."

Jason was a bit flustered, but also somewhat excited:

"Malawi, go to Bondi, get him to gather the people, we are going to the freight yard this afternoon — tell him, we have our own freight yard now!"

He turned again, saying to Eiris:

"Eiris, go tell Clark, have him gather his men too! Be prepared at any time! Didn’t he always complain that we make money without them? Now the opportunity has come! It’s all up to him whether he can seize it."

After Malawi and Eiris left, Jason gave a few more instructions to Freya about cooking, then left the house.

Even though he didn’t know where to go, at this moment, Jason didn’t want to stay at home.

He felt, the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

Sean met Robert at an open fast food restaurant.

Robert was gnawing on a big hamburger. Seeing Sean, he nodded, motioned him to sit down, and politely set aside some food on the dinner plate.

Sean shook his head with distaste.

He had just had a hearty hometown meal and had no appetite for these fast foods at all!

He ordered a cup of coffee and sipped it slowly. Although he was anxious, he appeared calm and composed.

There was no need to rush.

After Robert finished eating, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then wiped his hands, threw it aside, took a breather, and then began to talk:

"Sean, you are the most miraculous boy I’ve ever met...."

"I’m a man, understand?" Sean wasn’t pleased.

"Alright, alright, man, MAN!" Robert laughed, and he took out a large envelop from his coat and pushed it towards Sean:

"These are the papers for the freight yard, you have administrative rights for ten years. This year’s rent has already been paid in full, for the next year and beyond, you need to pay it in advance at the port administration office."

Sean took it, just as he was about to open it, Robert added:

"The will is also in there."

Sean became even more curious.

He opened it, first pulled out the will, looked at it, and it was no different from the copy.

He put the will back in, and pulled out the paperwork for the freight yard.

Unlike the bilingual will, the freight yard paperwork was all in English and quite complicated.

Sean skimmed through it and confirmed its authenticity.

Of course, mainly because he trusts Robert’s credibility.

"Here is $30,000." Sean also took out an envelope and handed it over.

"You can hire a lawyer to fight for justice." Robert didn’t open the envelope, he directly put it in his inner pocket, and then suggested, "I believe many lawyers would want to take this case. As long as they see the will."

"I’d prefer you to introduce a lawyer for me." Sean looked into Robert’s eyes, "I trust you more than those who serve money."

"I also serve money," Robert laughed at himself.

"But your credibility is better."

"Okay, wait for my news." After saying that, Robert got up and left.

Sean’s mood lightened up.

He was one step closer to his goal again!
