In New York, an international metropolis, Gao Cheng takes out Xiao AI''s map and itinerary after getting off the plane and takes a taxi.
First, find a place to live, then find a consulting company to see if there is a ready-made detective agency to buy, and then
Gao Cheng looks at Xiao AI''s schedule silently. Although it''s very useful, he doesn''t have any confidence in him. For the purpose of becoming the first detective in the world, he has a plan for a long time. Of course, he knows how to open a detective agency in New York.
The simplest way is to find a detective agency with financial difficulties. As long as there is money, it should be too big a problem to buy a reliable small detective agency.
A huge statue of liberty appeared in front of Gao Cheng''s eyes on the way from Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. As seen in movies in the past, it further reminds him of his current position.
Just like when I first arrived in Conan world, now another person has come to a metropolis, and even has no place to settle down. The only difference is that he is very rich now.
It''s the money you spend that you have to go back to Xiao AI for reimbursement
Gao Cheng browed.
Forget it, first find a place to settle down, then go to a consulting company to find out which detective agencies can buy.
In Los Angeles, because of Hollywood, private detectives are undoubtedly better at making money. In Manhattan, New York, there is Wall Street, and there is also fertile soil for private detectives to survive. However, what he values is the crime rate of New York City
There are no fewer cases here than in Tokyo. In addition to the frequent shooting cases, high intelligence murder cases also emerge in an endless stream. It is also the most suitable stage for detectives. It seems that they have not heard of famous detectives like him, but there seem to be many famous detectives.
If you think about it like this, he is a layman from Asia. He doesn''t know what it will be like to bring Conan here.
In the afternoon, after checking in at an ordinary hotel, Gao Cheng immediately rushed to the consulting company where he made an appointment by telephone.
"Hello, Mr. Chenghu," a young man with dark blue eyes is in charge of receiving Gao Cheng, "according to your needs, we have found three private detective agencies that meet your requirements, two medium-sized and one small one. I suggest you consider these two medium-sized private detective agencies."
Young people are obviously surprised at Gao Cheng''s age, but they don''t say anything.
"Only three?" Gao Cheng took over the data review.
Both of the two medium-sized detective agencies have a lot of staff. Their structure is very perfect and they have all kinds of business, which is worse than the consulting company in front of them. The boss behind the scenes intends to transfer because of investment problems.
The small detective agency is much poorer than his detective office in Tokyo. The boss is the detective of the agency, with three or two big cats and two kittens under his hands. Moreover, the business is poor, and it has to be sold because the capital chain is broken.
The young man explained: "this used to be a medium-sized detective agency, but it has not developed well in the past two years. It has removed a lot of business. The foundation and contacts are all there, and its strength is not bad."
Gao Cheng didn''t make a sound and continued to stare at the information.
Of course, two medium-sized detective agencies are good, but the price is too expensive, which is not cost-effective for him, and the management is also a trouble.
Gao Cheng turns his attention to the rest of the detective agency.
Bourne detective agency, the price is not expensive, as long as the injection of $100000 should be able to run, he does not need this detective agency to develop much business.
"Detective Bourne used to be a New York City police detective?" Gao Cheng was stunned when he noticed the introduction of the boss of the detective agency.
"Yes, Mr. Bowen quit his job and started a private detective agency with his friends after he made a mistake in a murder case," the young man nodded. "But two years ago, when his partner was killed, the Bowen detective agency gradually declined."
"There should be a lot of contacts in the police station?"
Gao Cheng is a little excited.
This private detective named Bourne has a similar experience with Uncle Maori. He became a private detective after he left the police system. He just has the contacts he needs at present.
"Just this Bourne detective agency," Gao Chengchao asked. "I want to see detective Bourne first."
"All right."
……
The location of Bourne detective agency is pretty good. It''s just above a small building on the commercial street. It has a slightly old signboard, and the office is not very impressive. The desk full of papers is not very different from the ordinary company in New York.
Gao Cheng knocks on the door of the president''s room. Under the leadership of the dark blue eyed youth, he sees a haggard middle-aged uncle. He is a typical white man. He seems to have not taken care of him for many days and has a faint smell of wine. However, before receiving Gao Cheng, he puts on some wrinkled suits and tries his best to make himself more energetic.
"Mr. Bowen, this is Mr. Chenghu."
The young man who is a temporary manager of Gao Cheng shakes hands with his middle-aged uncle and takes out a signing document after a brief introduction of Gao Cheng.
If there is no problem, the agency can be transferred face to face.
The middle-aged uncle flashed a trace of sadness in his eyes and signed his name with a deep breath.
"Mr. Bowen," Gao Cheng said, looking at his middle-aged uncle instead of signing, "after purchasing this detective agency, I hope you will stay and work. For me, the biggest value of Bowen detective agency is you." The middle-aged uncle took the pen in amazement, looked at the young man next to him, then looked at Gao Cheng, and his Adam''s Apple moved: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Chenghu, I don''t want to cheat you. Because of my leg injury, I haven''t taken over the business for a long time. The general entrustment is given to Bruce and them..." "you just need to help me manage it, and I won''t stay in New York for a long time." Gao Cheng laughs“ All right, all right. " Bourne didn''t say any more. Although he didn''t know Gao Cheng''s plan, he had no problem with the management. It was estimated that he would hire another detective later. It didn''t take much effort to sign the contract. After understanding all aspects of the situation, Gao Cheng officially bought the Bourne detective agency, and didn''t change its name considering the relationship between his contacts. When the young people of the consulting company left, Gao Cheng, who became the boss, called all the staff of the detective agency to the president''s office. In addition to Bowen, there were three clerks. Two young people who had been doing business outside rushed back when they heard that the detective agency had been acquired. When they saw Gao Cheng, they were surprised“ My name is Takashi, and I have a detective agency in Tokyo, so I will stay there most of the time. "After looking at some of his staff, Takashi opens the door to Yamato." in the future, this side will be managed by Mr. Bowen. " The two young men in their 20s were originally Bourne''s assistants, and they took over some ordinary investigation work, which was similar to the dark blue eyed young man he had just entrusted. It was absolutely impossible to investigate, and even many senior detectives could not handle their business. However, because of this, the Bourne detective agency was much cleaner and purer, and there was no trouble“ President, "said Bourne," are you going to hire detectives from outside? "“ For the time being. " Gao Cheng shook his head, which senior detective will come to this kind of small detective agency, ordinary people do not need to recruit“ Detective agencies need to improve their reputation first. Do you have any plans recently? "“ This... "Bourne was embarrassed“ Recently, he has been looking for business... "" Er, "Gao Cheng thought of the introduction to the Bourne detective agency in the materials and photographed his forehead," I''ll stay here for a while and find a more difficult Commission. "
