"Hello, dear Mr. Paul, do you still remember me, brother?"
In a public phone booth, Zhang Tianhao was holding a phone and chatting with Paul on the phone speaking full English.
"Sir, can you tell me who you are? I don't seem to have a very deep impression of you!" Paul thought about it for a moment while on the phone and immediately became confused.
"Paul, we seem to be very good friends. If you say so, you will lose me as your best friend, don't you think so?"
"Your tone, it's you, that damn Luo, you're back!"
It took Paul a long time to react on the phone, because more than four years have passed, and now he can think of it, it was because Zhang Tianhao left such a deep impression on him.
"Hahaha, it seems that we haven't seen each other for three or four years, but old friends are still old friends. They are always thinking of me!"
"You bastard and gangster, you still have the nerve to call me and tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Of course I'm here to congratulate you. I didn't expect that you have become one of the directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau!" Zhang Tianhao laughed casually. After all, the purpose of his call to Paul now was to make some transactions.
"How about coming to my Ministry of Industry Bureau office?"
"Okay, but I prefer the small cafe opposite your Ministry of Industry Bureau, what do you think?"
"You're just a bastard. As far as people are concerned, when will you arrive?"
"In half an hour!"
"That's okay!"
…
Half an hour later, Zhang Tianhao arrived opposite the Ministry of Industry Bureau, looked around, then walked towards the cafe with a smile.
When Paul arrived here, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar person waving to him across the street, and the long-lost memories kept coming back.
"Lo!"
"Haha, Paul, I am Luo, long time no see, please!"
Zhang Tianhao stood up, pulled out a small seat, smiled lightly, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of invitation.
"Luo, where have you been these past few years?"
"I ran to fight with people, but lost all my weapons, and now I'm here to mess around again. After all, Chengdu, Sichuan, is so poor that it's difficult to even find a beautiful woman. There is nothing like Shanghai."
bustling."
"Luo, go ahead and lie to a ghost. I think your identity must be not simple, right?" Paul rolled his eyes directly. After all, Zhang Tianhao bought nearly one million arms from Hans before. Is that something that humans do?
?
Now there is no news at all, everything is covered up silently. He knows better than anyone how capable he is that can do this.
"Haha, Paul, you are so smart, it really makes me a little helpless. I am just a white glove. Now I am doing some small things for the Chinese government, and I won't hide it from you!"
"Are you from the Chinese government?"
"Why, is it weird? I'm just doing things for them. Who asked them to pay more, don't you think?" He simply shrugged his shoulders and laughed lightly.
Natural laughter is also full of the smell of copper, which makes Paul a little unbearable.
After all, the character displayed by modern Zhang Tianhao still has certain similarities with him.
"Then you came to me because you want to cooperate with me?"
"Of course, if we don't cooperate to make money if we have the opportunity, wouldn't that be a pity for your current position as director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau?"
As he spoke, he twisted his coffee, and casually added a piece of sugar to it, and said calmly: "Sugar makes it sweet, right?"
"Luo, I know you are a devil, and I don't want to cooperate with you! You will do crazy things, and I don't want to accept it. That will affect my future!"
"Paul, you took over in July this year, do you think you can do it to the end?"
"Luo, what do you mean, can I, as a director, do my job? Are you threatening me?"
"No, I'm just your friend, my forever friend. How could I threaten my friend? It's just that you didn't see the situation, so you're still dreaming of your own dreams. I'm just giving you a wake-up call.
I just woke you up from your sweet dream."
"Huh, Luo, you've gone too far and you want to threaten me!" When Paul heard this, he suddenly became dissatisfied. After all, Zhang Tianhao had hurt his heart too much.
"Paul, I said that I will always be your friend and will never threaten you. It seems that you didn't understand. If you don't make money now, then even if you want to make money in the future, you won't have much chance.
.”
Zhang Tianhao put down the spoon in his hand and said lightly.
Then he picked up the coffee, put it to his mouth, and blew in gently. The aroma of the coffee continued to enter his nostrils, forcing him to take another sip.
Paul looked at Zhang Tianhao's calm expression and felt a little uncertain. After all, Zhang Tianhao had already said what he said, so he naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Tianhao's words.
But he still didn't know why Zhang Tianhao said that. It was obvious that Zhang Tianhao knew something before he said that.
"Luo, I want to ask, what can I get if we cooperate?"
"I will get 70% of all the proceeds and you will get 30%. If there are any major events in the future, I will give you a warning in advance so that you can escape successfully. What do you think?"
He thought he was being very generous. After all, a warning in advance was a good thing.
"No, Luo, are you kidding? When you work for the Chinese government, don't you just want to protect some people? You also know that I don't have the final say in the entire Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. I just have a few points on patrol.
It’s just my ability.”
Paul shook his head directly, then stared at Zhang Tianhao with dissatisfaction, and said with a pause: "You three and I seven, otherwise this cooperation is not necessary."
"Paul, are you sure you need you and me?"
"It must be like this. If it weren't for the sake of old friends, I would give you 10% of the bridge toll, and the rest is mine." Paul said lightly, his tone full of confidence.
After all, all patrol houses in the entire concession are under his jurisdiction, and they are the largest violent organization in the concession.
"Paul, if you really think so, then I really have no intention of cooperating. I will go to Hans, or even Milson, or someone else, or even not cooperate. Anyway, I won't make any money at most. I can get help from other people."
You can make money through various channels, but you will lose my friendship, and my friendship is not measured by money."
Zhang Tianhao glanced at him lightly, and there was a faint sense of strangeness in his calm tone of voice.
"I would like to ask, is your friendship worth anything?"
"Haha, it sounds like it's not worth anything, but it's only worth a few lives. I was originally planning to think about my old friend, but now it seems that we have no common language!"
Zhang Tianhao stood up, took out two francs from his pocket, put them on the table, and waved to a waiter not far away.
"Luo, are you sure you want to lose my friendship?"
"Paul, you are wrong. You have lost my friendship. If the business fails, then I will leave Shanghai and go to other cities to find people to cooperate with, but you..."
He showed an expression of disappointment, and even felt a little tired to say another word.
"By the way, Paul, goodbye, I hope you can make a lot of money."
