章節 36: The Big Robbery
The next morning, Josh, who had just finished breakfast, sat in the living room reading the newspaper.
However, his expression looked somewhat strange, and whether he was angry or happy was unclear.
"Dear, what's wrong?" Margaret walked over, saw his expression, kissed his cheek, and asked with a smile.
"To be honest, I find it hard to believe that this newspaper is talking about me!" Josh's tone was full of helplessness as he handed the newspaper to Margaret.
It was the Chicago Tribune, the oldest newspaper in Chicago and the third-largest newspaper in the United States.
Margaret looked at the newspaper and laughed.
The headline on the front page read, "Three Million, the Determination of the Austrian Noble Teenager's Anti-French XXX!" The article reported on Margaret's purchase of three million war bonds in Josh's name at the fundraising event the night before.
However, after being embellished by the writer's pen, the style of the newspaper content became strange.
In the article, Josh and his deceased parents were described as a noble family from Austria who were heroes in the anti-French XX movement. They were persecuted during the German invasion of Austria and were forced to flee to America.
After arriving in America, Josh's parents never forgot their national hatred. They fought for the anti-French XX movement for a long time.
In the end, they died tragically due to an accident.
Josh inherited his parents' will and continued to fight for the anti-French XX cause, spending all of his family fortunes and throwing three million dollars to support the anti-French XX movement in the United States.
Josh found it hard to believe the impassioned words in the article were describing him.
When did he become so great?
And when did their family become nobles?
Oh, right. When he was interviewed after the fundraising event yesterday, the reporter asked about his family. He mentioned that his grandfather, who owns this body, was an officer of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and had a free baron title.
But for heaven's sake, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has been extinct for over 20 years, and the Habsburg dynasty has also died out. His grandfather also died in World War I.
Unexpectedly, the reporter deliberately added fuel to the fire in this area, which was quite outrageous.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that Americans who have become rich overnight have always had a noble complex, and it's not too difficult to understand.
Of course, the newspaper was mainly written this way to hype the sale of war bonds.
The implicit meaning is: even the compatriots of that little mustache are going all-out to support the war. As American citizens, shouldn't you also buy bonds?
"Isn't this great? At least our goal has been achieved. After today, I believe that the whole of Chicago, and even many parts of the United States, will know your name. This will definitely be beneficial to your future business endeavors." Margaret giggled and said, "You were always the greatest in my heart."
"But this isn't fair to you!" Josh sighed. In fact, he didn't want this title. Still, Margaret's attitude was unusually firm, and she didn't even allow Josh to mention the fact that it was her money. She even had the appearance of "if you dare say a word, I will burn the bond worth six million dollars in reality."
Faced with the affection of this beautiful woman, Josh couldn't refuse.
"Do we really need to talk about this? If you feel you owe me, start the factory earlier and make the company bigger." Margaret hugged Josh again with the utmost tenderness.
The gentle encouragement from the beautiful mature woman instantly filled Josh with motivation.
"Oh my God, look at this. The Leibler family's treasure trove was robbed, one security guard was injured, and one robber was shot. The famous criminal, Erwin Lyndon Schneider, may be related to the case. What the police said is true. Uncle John's family treasure was indeed stolen." At this moment, Margaret flipped the newspaper to the second page and suddenly exclaimed as she looked at the content.
"Yes, I saw it too, but don't worry about your Uncle John. In this situation, the insurance company is more urgent than the Leibler family." Josh said casually.
If it were an ordinary period, this big case could make headlines.
However, Josh's limelight couldn't be overshadowed during this war period.
The United States is constantly shaping anti-law XX heroes in various fields, all for the sake of the war effort.
But as Josh said, the most urgent thing in such cases is often not the victim himself but the insurance company. The one that was stolen from the Leibler family was a large commercial insurance vault, not a private family vault, so it must have been insured.
Oh yeah, there's an insurance company!
Reminded by Josh, Margaret, who was still worried about her Uncle John, instantly felt relieved.
"By the way, how is Attorney Emery's character?" At this moment, Josh suddenly asked.
"Attorney Emery? Why do you mention him?" Margaret was a little surprised.
"Well, nothing really. He's one of the top legal experts in the city, and I'm about to start a company soon, so I'll definitely need a lot of legal support." Josh didn't say he found the other party suspicious but just came up with a reason on the spot.
"If it's about legal issues, according to Uncle John, he is indeed the most professional, but as for his character..." Margaret paused here, unable to help herself.
"What's wrong?" Josh couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I heard that this lawyer's private life is also pretty bad. He has a young girl as his lover who could be his granddaughter. I heard about this when I hired a private detective to investigate that geezer years ago." Margaret whispered.
Hearing this, Josh raised an eyebrow.
The beautiful was clearly talking about that lawyer, but in fact, she was also indirectly criticizing him.
To be honest, the beautiful big sister was too worried. With such a top-notch beauty around, there weren't many things that could catch his eye.
But as he thought about it, Sabrina's figure automatically appeared in his mind.
Shaking his head, forget it. Without the Cine Star halo bonus, the girl was just so-so.
"I'm going to the McKinsey company for an interview later. Do you want to come with me?" Josh decisively changed the subject.
This McKinsey & Company he mentioned had nothing to do with the anti-social McCarthyism of the 1950s but was a top-notch management consulting company.
It was also a world-class management consulting company in the future.
Josh needed to build three factories at once. He couldn't do it alone, so he needed to recruit people and professional managers.
One of the businesses of management consulting companies was headhunting.
The professional manager system in the United States and the headhunting business started early, appearing in the 1920s and becoming quite mature by the 1930s.
Last week, Josh had already provided his personnel requirements to the company. On Friday, they had already provided some resumes of candidates.
So the interview he was going to was for him to interview others, not for others to interview him.
"I'm not going. I'm not interested in these things, and I've already received a set of equipment from Uncle John. It should be delivered today. I'll be busy with that pink heart for a while." Margaret said that the pink heart was the giant pink diamond. She planned to cut this precious diamond herself in this situation where the ownership of this diamond was inadequate for others to know about it.
