Red Dead Redemption: The Great Philanthropist of the West

A few days later, Henry, along with William and Carl, met with John Jack Pierpont Morgan, Wheeler Lawson, and the middleman, Fellowes, as agreed. Henry first offered them several bottles of the beverage he named All Things Cola to sample, then explained the production costs, the manufacturing process, and the prospects of cola, expressing his willingness to cooperate.

Everyone present was a business elite, and without Henry needing to elaborate, they naturally understood the potential profits and prospects. However, they all indicated that they needed time to conduct research and finalize the details. After another ten days or so of repeated discussions, the deal was finally made.

Henry provided the technology and manufacturing processes, and was responsible for building the factory to produce Coca-Cola. Wheeler and Lawson provided transportation channels, sugar supply, and bottling production. Jack Morgan provided his network (especially his connections in the military) and some financing, opening up channels to various states and even the world, and sending out advertisements and orders. As for Fellowes, he was responsible for cooperating with Morgan's advertising and promotion, as well as the company's daily management.

Regarding the shares, the top three will each hold 30%, and the remaining 10% will go to Congressman Fellowes, the company's manager. Others may send representatives to assist.

A few days later, after Henry rewrote a detailed plan based on the development history of Coca-Cola and Pepsi, he presented it to everyone for review and received high approval. The four then officially signed the contract, and a behemoth was about to rise rapidly.

After leaving Carl and William behind to assist Felix and instructing them to keep the recipe a secret, he left Saint Denis and returned to Blackwater.

Henry had already patented the Coca-Cola formula, and the planning document included confidentiality measures such as breaking down the production process, restricting access to production areas, controlling access to formula files, installing security systems, and requiring employees to sign confidentiality agreements. Furthermore, to facilitate the development of different Coca-Cola flavors, Henry also brought in Rafael Dick to build his own research team and focus on developing Coca-Cola.

Henry had originally built a private laboratory for Rafedick and told him about the penicillin development process, but there had been no progress after several months. Rafedick didn't seem to have any talent in this area. He seemed to be more interested in drinks, so Henry decided to let him focus on the development of All-Cola.

Regarding penicillin, we'll ask his mentor to recommend a reliable person to develop it later. When the school was being built, Henry specifically reserved a piece of land for establishing a research institute.

.....

Time flies, and it's almost May, spring is nearly over. Today, Henry intends to fulfill the promise he made to the legendary female bounty hunter Allie Johnson when he recruited her: to help her find the killer who brutally murdered her daughter and let her personally take revenge.

After months of investigation and analysis of various clues, everyone agreed that Emmett Dalton, the second-in-command of the Odrisco gang, was the prime suspect. He was the same leader from the original game who had imprisoned and humiliated Sadie for several days, a lecherous and ruthless man.

After identifying the target, Henry led the armed special forces team, along with Li Yi and Wang Zhiqiang, to the Hound Ranch.

To avoid upsetting Ellie Johnson, everyone remained relatively quiet throughout the journey.

As they approached the Hound Ranch, Ellie became agitated, and Henry stopped her from acting impulsively. He sent Zhang Wei and Wang Zhiqiang to scout the area; it was one of the Odrisco gang's key strongholds, usually housing at least several dozen men.

Before long, Zhang Wei and Wang Zhiqiang returned. There weren't many enemies in the ranch, and the defenses were quite lax.

Since that was the case, Henry didn't bother with any tactics and simply ordered his men to overwhelm the enemy with sheer force. After clearing the entire camp, there were only about ten people left. He had originally planned to leave a few alive to question them, but Ellie spotted a figure that frequently appeared in her nightmares and, losing control of her emotions, instantly killed him.

In the end, the group only learned from a dying member of the Ao Gang that the main force had headed north for some secret operation. Before they could ask any further questions, they fell silent.

However, it wasn't without its gains; at least it confirmed that these were the same people who had committed the dirty deeds. With a clear objective, Henry, given his abilities, wasn't worried about failing to take them down.

As the group finished tallying their loot and prepared to continue north, an unexpected figure appeared at the ranch entrance: a haggard-looking Arthur. Arthur had been drawn there by the gunshots and had been observing the area for some time. He only revealed himself after recognizing Henry.

His current appearance was truly appalling; his face was covered in stubble that looked like it hadn't been shaved in ages, and he was completely disheveled. At first, no one recognized him, and they all pointed their guns at him, gesturing for him to stop. It wasn't until Arthur revealed his identity that they could barely recognize him from his classic cowboy attire.

Henry was quite surprised to see Arthur here and at this time. According to the schedule, Arthur should be in the gang right now, traveling with the Van gang members in North Grizzly towards Spider Canyon. Could it be that he changed some line, causing an unpredictable change in the plot?

Seeing Arthur's state, Henry thought for a moment and decided to stay and rest for the night before setting off again tomorrow.

After assigning people to guard the area, the rest of the group gathered around the campfire to eat roasted meat and hot soup. Arthur, meanwhile, sat nearby, munching away like a starving ghost.

Arthur had now tidied himself up, revealing his resolute face. While he hadn't cared about his appearance when he was fleeing alone, he felt embarrassed now that so many familiar faces were present.

After he finally finished eating and stopped, Henry asked, "Arthur, what are you doing here at the Oaks? Where's your gang? And what's wrong with you? I didn't even recognize you when I saw you just now. I almost mistook you for an enemy."

Happy New Year, everyone!
