While waiting, Verak asked Carranza more about Gonzalez.
Gonzalez is the owner of the largest casino in the inner city. He is a kind-hearted person, but he is also known for his ruthless tactics.
When Verak and the others were looking for a partner last night, they considered this person, but because they didn't know much about him and were worried that the other party was too powerful to control and that there was a risk of someone taking advantage of others, they had to screen him out in the end.
"Gonzalez has a complicated background and has close connections with many powerful people. In my impression, several high-profile people were eventually killed because they owed him money... As for how much support he has in the inner city, what can he do?
I don't know if I don't take anyone seriously..." Carranza couldn't help but feel frightened when she mentioned what she saw and heard.
"Isn't it said in the inner city that anyone who grabs a passerby is either rich or wealthy? Since there are so many powerful people here, if you don't have the ability to do anything, how can you open a casino and attack gamblers?" Verak was not surprised by this.
"This person is so powerful, will he not take us seriously?" Connie assessed the risk of meeting Gonzalez.
"Anyone who can get to this point is not that stupid. Even if Gonzalez is from the Monlego government, now that the government's decline is irreversible and its collapse has become a matter of time, he will not hurt us rashly. It will be in vain.
Offending the International Equality Alliance." Verak's tone was still a little relaxed.
If placed in any country other than Bash or Monrego, he would not come into contact with anyone who might have a government background without making preparations.
The main reason why there is such boldness in Monrego is that the International Equality Alliance does not deal with the governments of various countries, but the Monrego government is about to disappear. Who will organize and gain limelight for a mess that is about to collapse?
against them?
"It seems that the meaning of our staying here now is more than just raising funds." What Murphy had in mind was very different from Verak's.
"Yes." Verak sat firmly on the sofa and looked out the window, "If Gonzalez has nothing to do with the Monrego government, we can just talk about a win-win situation for the three parties. If he has something to do with the Monrego government,
Then maybe we can use him as a breakthrough to contact the government people."
"It is only a matter of time before the Monlego government falls. I guess that although the major warlords did not directly capture Monlego City, they will send out many people to infiltrate and lobby. If you are determined to contact them, it is equivalent to us now
Join the fight for Monlego City." Murphy crossed his arms across his chest and said solemnly.
After all, there are only eight of them now.
It is good to be able to gain some convenience by relying on the momentum of the International Equality Alliance, but it is almost impossible to use this power to deal with the major forces of the Monrego Empire on the table.
The simplest point is that in the face of huge interests, the warlords who want to unify Mongolia will not worry too much about the identity of the International Equality Alliance. If they are pressed, they will not mind sending people to assassinate the weak Weiwei.
Lark.
"Let's take one step at a time. At the very least, we can implement the charity dinner and solve our urgent needs. As for the contact with the Monrego government, we need to adapt more to the situation, try to create opportunities, and seize them." In Weiwei.
In Luck's eyes, whether to contact the Monlego government is an opportunity, and whether to seize it is another matter.
"This is the only way." Murphy thought for a moment. There were very few roads for them to take, and it was a bit naive to think of accomplishing things without taking any risks and achieving the purpose of this trip.
"Winter—winter—winter—"
The eleven o'clock bell rang, and under the sound of the bell, the sound of "ta da da da" footsteps came from far to near.
Carranza's breathing became rapid, and her eyes as she looked at the door were full of fear: "They are coming."
"It's really on time." Verak did not get up, but turned his head calmly, waiting to see Gonzalez's face.
"Connie." Murphy put his hand on his waist, where there was the pistol handed to him by Lopez and others.
"Understood." Connie stood beside Verak, looking coldly at the door.
"Peng."
No one outside the office dared to stop the debt collectors. A dozen thugs surrounded the short Gonzalez to the office door and kicked the door open arbitrarily.
Gonzalez, who was about to enter the door, saw that there was not only Carranza in the office, but also two men and one woman who looked quite calm. He immediately stopped, narrowed his eyes and asked with a half-smile: "This is...
What are you talking about?"
"Something that is good for both of us, please sit down, please sit down, let's talk together..." Carranza quickly went up and invited Gonzalez to sit down.
"Don't you want to introduce me first?" Gonzalez had a vague sense of déjà vu for Verak, and this feeling made him subconsciously alert.
"Ah, they are...are..." Carranza looked at the large group of people behind Gonzalez, wondering whether he should report the origins of Verak and others.
"Sit down and talk." Verak said.
Murphy spoke in a deep voice and translated into Monrego.
Gonzalez's eyes narrowed in an instant, and he thought of something from Verac's Bressi language and his own impression: "Bresi people?"
"Yes." Murphy said.
"...You two just need to follow, the others will stay outside the door." Gonzalez was quite courageous. After guessing Verak's identity, he didn't show much surprise. He arranged his men and strode to sit down.
Opposite Verak.
The two parties faced each other, and the atmosphere was a bit subtle.
Carranza came to the door anxiously to confirm whether the door was closed, and then quickly came to the two parties, stuttering a little: "I, let me introduce you, this is Ganza——"
"Let's introduce them first." Gonzalez crossed his legs and looked directly at Verak with a smile.
"Ah, okay, okay, this is Mr. Most Verak of the International Equality Alliance. These two are also from the International Equality Alliance." Carranza introduced, "This is Gonza——"
"I know who he is, no introduction is needed." Verac interrupted Carranza the same way.
"Ah, okay...then..." Facing forces from both sides that could easily kill him, Carranza was at a loss.
Gonzalez is a little younger than Carranza, but his aura and eagle-like eyes are far superior to Carranza: "Has the International Equality Alliance finally set its sights on Monlego?"
Verak also had a slight smile on his face: "I heard that there is a saying in other places that when you see people from the International Equality Alliance appearing with your own eyes, it means that they have already taken root here."
"You guys can actually take notice of Meng Lego's chaos?" Gonzalez joked.
"It just saves us part of the work." Verak said.
"It seems that you are here specially to wait for me." Gonzalez raised his head slightly and looked at Virac with a slight downward feeling, without Carranza's timid look at all, "Otherwise Carranza would definitely scream
You must leave before eleven o'clock."
"Yes, there is a good business, and I think the three of us can win together." Verak asked Murphy to tell the other party the situation.
After hearing this, Gonzalez looked at Verak with doubtful eyes for a long time: "Why do you think I am willing to cooperate with your International Equality Alliance?"
Verak lit a cigarette: "One newspaper alone can't be worth 150,000 gold coupons, right? If you don't cooperate, even if you give Carranza ten lives, you won't be able to make up for such a big gap."
Gonzalez challenged with confidence: "But the plan you proposed seems to be feasible without the International Equality Alliance."
Quite courageous.
Verak thought.
Ordinary people would not dare to do this even if it was a joke.
"In the round of the International Equality Alliance, do you want to kick us out and have fun on your own?" Verak took a puff of cigarette and blew it specifically at Gonzalez.
"As long as I have enough money, there is nothing I dare not do in Monlego." Gonzalez's smile became even brighter in the smoke.
"There are not many people who are against the International Equality Alliance who can still chat with me." Verak's eyes were ruthless.
He knew very well that not even the warlord leaders in Mongolia would arbitrarily turn against the International Equality Alliance and make enemies for no reason.
Gonzalez's repeated provocations were actually tests of the International Equality Alliance.
No matter what the purpose of the test is, he can only respond in one way, and that is to be more ruthless than the other party.
"I heard that I still want to live a few more years anyway." Gonzalez smiled and said weakly, "This business sounds good. Since it benefits everyone, it can definitely be done."
"...I agreed a little too readily," Murphy finished translating.
"It doesn't matter, tell them, what they have to do is very simple, just stop collecting the debt and declare to the outside world that Carranza has paid off the debt." Verak said.
"It's okay, but how will you divide the final money?" Gonzalez asked after hearing this.
This is obviously an attempt to gain more benefits on top of getting back the 150,000 yuan in debt.
After repeatedly provoking the International Equality Alliance, and now he is still greedy and wants to directly ride on the International Equality Alliance's head, Murphy was the first to lose control of his temper and pulled out a gun.
Seeing this, the two thugs behind Connie and Gonzalez also took out their guns and started to confront each other.
"What are you doing?" Gonzalez laughed dumbly, not frightened by the tense situation.
"The division can be discussed." Verak didn't let Murphy, and Connie put down her gun and followed up with a happy posture, "Let's do this, I can divide the money I earn by you 100,000."
The expressionless Murphy snorted and repeated it to Gonzalez.
Gonzalez was stunned.
"What? Too little? Don't forget, without us, Carranza will only be able to pay you back fifty thousand if he dies." It was Verac's turn to look at Gonzalez jokingly.
Originally, he showed a lot of sincerity, and he could return the 150,000 gold coupons owed by Carranza to Gonzales after the matter was completed. But he didn't expect Gonzales to test him endlessly, and kicked his nose in the face.
, he no longer needed to coddle the other party and decisively reset the share.
"It's not easy to do this without my cooperation. Let's give it 150,000, so that everyone will be happy." Gonzalez had suffered a lot and did not dare to test it easily again.
"Only one hundred thousand." Verak did not intend to give him a chance, otherwise it would easily give others the illusion that the International Equality Alliance could tease him if it wanted to.
"One hundred thousand...maybe there's no need to talk about it."
"No need to talk, you can only get a newspaper and Carranza's worthless life." Verak still has many candidates to look for, so he is not passive.
"But without us, the International Equality Alliance won't be able to do it, right? Rather than losing three times, it's better to win three times, right?" Gonzalez renewed his bid for a share of the 150,000 gold coupons.
Verak had a sullen face and refused to take a step back: "One hundred thousand, which is fifty thousand more than you would have stayed the same. Isn't this called a three-win situation?"
Gonzalez didn’t want to make things too ugly with the International Equality Alliance, so he put all the blame on Carranza: “One hundred thousand can only be said to be a win-win for us. Carranza owed me 150,000, and I got ten
Even if he still owes me fifty thousand, the newspaper will still have to be sold by then."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Carranza didn't dare to interrupt during this period, but when he heard that he had become the biggest loser inexplicably, he had to come out to lighten the atmosphere, "I know I don't have anything to say in this conversation.
, but I still hope you two can listen to my opinion."
"Say." Gonzalez raised his hand.
Verak said nothing and looked at Carranza quietly.
"I think this way, if this business can be done, it will most likely not be our last cooperation. You are Mr. Gonzalez who covers the sky with only one hand in the inner city, and you have a huge influence all over the world.
There is a powerful International Equality Alliance, and there are many opportunities for everyone to make money by working together. The tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands now are just the beginning..." Carranza worked hard to bring the two parties together.
"You're right. There will be a lot of cooperation opportunities in the future. There is no need to be so fussy at the beginning. Let me show my sincerity first. I can only ask for 100,000 and not take away Carranza's newspaper." Gonzalez
Use retreat to advance.
Both he and Carranza have shown sincerity, and the International Equality Alliance should do the same and make partial concessions no matter what.
"Okay, then it's settled." Verak didn't retreat, and he wasn't embarrassed at all.
"Okay, okay." The newspaper guaranteed it, and Carranza's goal was achieved.
"It's... settled?" Gonzalez didn't expect Verac to be so shameless. He took a step back, but instead of being right, the other party took advantage of him again.
"Do you still have any objections to the sharing?" Not only did they negotiate a cooperation, they also obtained an additional fifty thousand gold coupons in advance. Verak could predict how many more children would be saved from hunger and cold in the future.
"No, it's pretty good." This split was proposed by Gonzalez himself. If he had any objections, he would slap himself in the face.
"Put down your guns, why are you so nervous?" Verak asked Murphy and Connie to put down their guns.
Connie listened to the whole process and admired Verak's response: "You are really amazing!"
"Nothing." Verak put out the cigarette butt.
"You all should put it down." Gonzalez asked his people to do so, and then said, "The cooperation has been tentatively decided. I have some other things I want to talk about."
"Same." Verak knew that the game was not over yet.
