Chapter four hundred and twentieth(1/2)
"Sister, I'm dead, what should we do?"
"What to do, cold salad."
Li Nan snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, the goods have been shipped out, so we have to send the arrow to the bow. Notify all buyers that the auction will be held in advance."
"Sister, the limelight is so tight now, and we still have to fight against it. What should we do if we are targeted by the police?"
"It's okay, the auction will be held on the high seas, and the police can't control us." Li Nan said confidently, "The only pity is that the auction will be conducted in cash or Swiss bank cashier's checks.
The money on the ship would be an astronomical figure by then. I originally wanted Fu Guang to bring people on board to rob the ship, kill them all, and then burn the ship so that no one would notice and make a huge fortune.
Now it seems that we can only be honest and sell the national treasure to those people."
Li Nan's tone was filled with frustration. It was too hurtful to see so much money but not to take it.
"Sister, Fu Guang is gone and his younger brother is still there. We can find his younger brother. These people happen to be leaderless and can be bribed with a little favor, so they are most suitable for doing things."
The younger brother suggested.
"Fu Guang's little brother, does he have a suitable mother?" Li Nan asked.
"There was a man named Gong Wei, who was said to be capable of both literary and martial arts. After Fu Guang died, his younger brother was raided several times by the police, and many of them were arrested and ran away. The remaining people pushed Gong Wei to take the lead.
Where is the eldest brother, we can contact him.
Just give him some benefits and let him lead people on the ship to rob." The younger brother laughed and said,
"I heard that Gong Wei's wife in the Mainland is seriously ill. Medical treatment requires a lot of money, which is exactly what we can use. Moreover, he came from the Mainland not long ago. He is a country bumpkin and can be bribed by giving him several million.
But it’s much more reliable than Fuguang who likes to take advantage of others.”
"That's right. Just contact Gong Wei and let him..." Li Nan grabbed the air with his big hand and said greedily.
A fast food restaurant in Causeway Bay!
"I'm sorry, Xiao Hei. I have to borrow money from you now that I'm a big brother." Gong Wei looked apologetic as he took the five hundred Hong Kong dollars handed over by Xiao Hei.
"I should be the one who's sorry. I brought you to Xiangjiang to make a fortune, but I failed to make the first order. Even my eldest brother was killed." I asked the waiter for two cups of Super Coke and two hamburgers.
Xiao Hei and Gong Wei found a seat by the window and sat down.
"As for you, the eldest brother, everyone knows that this is just a temporary product. If you can't help your brothers make money, your position as the boss will not be stable."
"I also want to help my brothers make money, but as you know, little black brother, this is my first time coming to Xiangjiang and I am not familiar with the place. There are ways to make money. If I had known, I would have accepted Lei Weidong's invitation to be a bodyguard.
It’s better than it is now.”
"The bodyguard also depends on who you are with. Lei Weidong is the richest man, and I heard he is very generous. Being his bodyguard can earn hundreds of thousands or even millions a year, which is much better than being a thief.
But, did he really invite you?" Xiao Hei asked.
"Invited, otherwise how could you have taken me away without handcuffs? It's because of my skill." Lei Weidong took Gong Wei away in public, and many people saw him.
Gong Wei didn't hide it from Xiao Hei and told Xiao Hei that he liked him and wanted to be his bodyguard.
"Why did you refuse such a good job?" Xiao Hei asked.
"Isn't this unfamiliar? At that time, I only thought the other party was a policeman and beat my eldest brother to death. You also know my identity as a fugitive, how dare you deal with the police.
I didn’t expect that the other party was the richest man in Hong Kong or even the world. I really don’t know why he still works as a policeman when he is so rich. It’s not like serving the people in Hong Kong does not exist in Mainland China.
Now I regret it so much. If I became Lei Weidong's bodyguard, I would have the money to send my wife to the hospital for treatment." Gong Wei said with regret.
"Haha, let's not talk about you. Even we people in Xiangjiang don't understand why Lei Weidong is so rich and still works as a police officer. He has also become a high-ranking official in the police force and the assistant director only a few steps away from Brother No. 1."
Gong Wei's regret made Xiao Hei burst into laughter.
He didn't think that Gong Wei had lied to him, because compared to Lei Weidong and Gong Wei, their status was too low and they were from two different classes. Apart from his skill, Gong Wei really didn't attract Lei Weidong's attention.
"These two are Mr. Gong and Mr. Xiaohei."
The waiter brought the hamburgers they wanted. Xiao Hei and Gong Wei were eating and chatting. A thirty-year-old man with glasses who looked elegant came to the two of them and asked.
"It's us, is something wrong?" Xiao Hei asked while drinking a Coke and chewing a burger.
"My boss is Li Nan, and I have worked with your former eldest brother many times. I was very sad to hear that Boss Fu Guang passed away, and asked me to come over and say hello to you two." The man with glasses introduced himself.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for me. Her sincerity has been sent." Gong Wei responded with his hand.
Li Nan!
The woman who cooperates with Fuguang to smuggle the national treasure is also his target.
Gong Wei didn't go back after Fu Guang died. He just wanted to catch Li Nan and retrieve those national treasures, and he didn't hesitate to take the boss's position for this purpose.
Looking at it now.
What he did was right. Li Nan took the initiative to come to the door, but he couldn't be enthusiastic and had to play hard to get.
"Two of you, your eldest brother and our eldest sister recently negotiated a big deal. Now that your eldest brother is dead, our eldest sister wants to discuss future cooperation with you."
The man with glasses explained his purpose of coming.
"Big deal, how big of a deal?" Gong Wei didn't say anything, and Xiao Hei couldn't help but ask.
During this time, everyone is so scared of poverty that they don’t dare to go out to restaurants and can only eat hamburgers. Now it’s hard to get a big order, even if it’s fake, you can’t push it out.
"The business is very big. If you two are interested, you can discuss it with the eldest sister." Although Gong Wei did not agree, Xiao Hei's enthusiasm made the man with glasses know that there was something going on, and he immediately invited the two of them to the company to meet Li Nan.
"Lead the way!" Xiao Hei choked the hamburger in his mouth, clapped his hands, and motioned to the man with glasses to lead the way.
"These seem to be antiques?" Xiao Hei couldn't help but asked when he came to Li Nan's company and saw that the hall was filled with pottery figurines that his younger brother had taken out of their boxes.
"No, these are antiques." Gong Wei scanned the room and knew he was in the right place. The information Lei Weidong gave was correct. The woman named Li Nan was really suspicious.
"Little brother, do you also have research on these?" Li Nan happened to come out of the office and couldn't help but ask after hearing Gong Wei's comments.
"This is what I did when I was in the mainland." He pointed to the Han horse beside him and said, "This should be unearthed from Quancheng. The horse's body is very long and it is a unique shape of the local area. It is very rare. I didn't expect you to be able to do this.
Got it.”
"I didn't expect that little brother can not only fight but also know a lot. No wonder he can inherit the position of the boss. Come and invite him." Seeing that Gong Wei knew his stuff, Li Nan was very happy and introduced the two of them into the office.
"Both of you, you are Brother Fu's brothers, and you are not outsiders. Let me make it clear that these things were smuggled from the mainland through Boss Fu's relationship.
Preparing for auction in Xiangjiang.
Now Mr. Fu is dead, but the business cannot be interrupted, and I am ready to cooperate with you two." He asked the secretary to bring tea to Gong Wei and Xiao Hei, and Li Nan said that he wanted them to come over.
"Cooperation, how to cooperate? Are you asking us to transport these things back? We don't have any skills." Gong Wei joked.
"These things were finally transported out. How can they be transported back? I've invited you two to be responsible for the security of the auction." Li Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
"With respect to the security work at the auction, Mr. Li, with all due respect, it is okay for us people to fight and kill. The security work is somewhat unprofessional, and there are so many security companies in Xiangjiang. They are no better than us laymen.
"
Gong Wei signaled Xiao Hei to stop talking and let him take charge of the conversation.
"If it was just for security, I definitely wouldn't be looking for you. The purpose of looking for you is very simple, which is to dress up as a robber and rob the auction house." Li Nan got straight to the point and stated his plan.
"In order to circumvent Hong Kong's laws, the auction will be held on a ship on the high seas, and cash transactions are required. Buyers must bring cash or a cashier's check from a Swiss bank to the scene.
The money on site will be measured in tens of millions or even billions, in US dollars. If we rob this money, everyone will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."
"Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars is indeed a big deal." Hearing the number Li Nan said, Gong Wei's greedy eyes flashed, "Mr. Li, it's easy to play the role of a robber, the key is what benefits we can gain.
"
"Of course the benefits are great. I can give you a 20% dividend after the project is completed. Not only will you two make a fortune, but even your brothers will be able to share hundreds of thousands of dollars each, and you will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life."
"Isn't twenty percent too little, Mr. Li? I know Boss Fu's character. If you don't see the rabbit, you won't let the eagle fly. If we cooperate, the profits must be split in half."
Gong Wei shook his head and said that 20% was too little, so he would take half of the profit.
"It's half and half, it's impossible. Little brother, I won't hide it from you. I didn't get this money alone. I have to manage it in every aspect. Giving you 20% is already a lot.
If it’s more, I won’t have any money to share with others.”
Li Nan's eyes flashed with disgust at Gong Wei's big mouth. She had already made up her mind to let Gong Wei and others be the scapegoats and take the blame for everyone.
"Every aspect must be taken care of. What you said, Mr. Li, is ridiculous. If the goods are in the mainland, they must be taken care of when they come out. Why spend this wasted money after everything has come out?"
Gong Wei asked calmly.
If only Li Nan is arrested, Gong Wei can take action now. The key is to wipe out Li Nan's gang, especially those inland bugs, so he needs to do it bit by bit and collect all the evidence before taking action.
"Smuggling antiques is not a one-time deal. I have been operating this line for seven or eight years and have to maintain it. Every year I spend a lot of money on supply, and I have to give them part of the money from the sale.
If it weren't for the high cost, I wouldn't think of robbing the auction." Li Nan explained, "Brother Gong Wei, I will wrong you and your brother this time and get 20%. I will give you 20% of the future sales.
I will never treat you badly."
Gong Wei also knew that haste makes waste. He glanced at Xiao Hei and found that he was nodding to him, so he was silent for a while and said, "Seeing that Boss Fu is so proud, we accepted the order, but I have a condition.
"
"Say, I'll agree as long as it doesn't go too far." Li Nan made a gesture of invitation, indicating to Gong Wei that he could just say it.
"After the death of the boss, we were raided several times by the police. Not only were there fewer brothers, but the weapons were also incomplete. I needed money to recruit brothers and buy weapons.
Mr. Li, you don’t want us to board the ship with machetes and rob it.”
Gong Wei began to cry for poverty, "Please give me some amount of deposit, not too much, just one million."
