"Boss Chen, I know even if you don't tell me, you're just a few tax bastards! As long as you show off your old sign, those guys won't be able to avoid you?"
"Oh, Manager Wang, I see that you are also working on the street. Can you display your own sign casually?"
After hearing this, Wang Hu suddenly said: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, Boss Chen, you are so considerate. Well, I will show this sign for you. If anyone comes to ask, you only need to take a bite." Just deny it.”
"Look at what you said. I never admitted it from the beginning. It's all your fault..."
"That's right, that's it. As expected of an old man, his ability is different. I'll leave now. I'll definitely give you a generous gift when you open your business later!"
Chen Ming's eyes immediately lit up when he heard that he was being politely received, and his attitude towards Wang Hu became much more cordial, "Are you leaving now, brother Ahu? Then forgive me, brother, I'll see you off not far away!"
…
It wasn't until Wang Hu left that Chen Ming suddenly came back to his senses and said to Xiu Ning: "Honey, do you think this person named Wang came just by chance? Does he have ulterior motives?"
Yu Xiuning smiled and said, "Is there any need to guess? Of course there is an ulterior motive. Master, haven't you seen that that guy was sent by Brother Aqiang?"
"What did you say? He was sent by Aqiang? Then why didn't he tell us directly and had to go through such a big circle? Isn't this taking off his pants and farting?"
"How can this be called taking off your pants and farting? There are so many ways around here!"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered to him...
Let's say that after Li Qiang left the restaurant with the gangsters, he not only helped them find a nearby medical clinic to treat their injuries, but also paid for their soup and medicine out of his own pocket. He easily gained the favor of the leader named Xu, and the two of them The number of conversations between them gradually increased.
"Little brother, there were so many people just now. Brother, let me give you a fist. That old boy whose mother's name is Chen is so powerful. He beat eight of them. If brother, you hadn't shouted that voice to help me out, I really wouldn't have been able to get off the stage. .After that, I asked you to pay for some medical treatment. I really..."
"Okay, okay, Brother Xu, we are all one family, don't talk about two families."
"A... family? May I ask who you are?"
However, Li Qiang just smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
After saying that, he took the man back to the Peace Hotel.
"Little brother, why did you bring me here?"
"You'll find out soon."
Before he finished speaking, Yamamoto Kazuki's voice rang out, "Xu Sang? Who asked you to come here?"
It was a good thing that the man named Xu didn't listen. As soon as he heard Yamamoto Kazuki's voice, he shuddered hard, his legs began to weaken unconsciously, and he almost sat down on the ground.
"Shan... Yamamoto Taijun, Xiao... Xiao..."
"Yamamoto-kun, I brought him here."
"you?"
"That's right, it's me." After speaking, Li Qiang lowered his voice and said to Yamamoto Kazuki, "Yamamoto-kun, there are many people here and this is not the place to talk. Can you take a step to talk?"
After hearing this, Kazuki Yamamoto first took a deep look at Li Qiang, and then took the two of them to his temporary office.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Yamamoto Kazuki was originally asking Li Qiang this question, but before he finished speaking, Li Qiang turned to the man named Xu and said, "Yamamoto-kun is asking you, tell me!"
"Say...what did you say?"
"Of course it's what happened to you at Xinglong Restaurant just now."
"Oh, oh, Yamamoto Tai-kun, the thing... the thing is... is like this, just now I was preparing to take someone to Xinglong Restaurant to collect the management fee..."
After being reminded by Li Qiang, the man surnamed Xu stammered and took himself to Xinglong Restaurant to collect the management fee. Instead, he was beaten up by the restaurant owner and told Yamamoto Kazuki the story in a more elaborate manner.
However, just after he finished speaking, Yamamoto Kazuki waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "Okay, I understand, you can go out first!"
"ah?"
"I told you to get out!"
"Oh, okay...ok."
It wasn't until the man named Xu left that Yamamoto Kazuki turned to look at Li Qiang, "Is there something wrong with that restaurant?"
However, Li Qiang directly asked: "Don't you think it's strange for Yamamoto-kun that a restaurant owner has such good skills?"
"What do you think?"
"To tell you the truth, I really saw some tricks. That person was using the Twelve Styles of Short Stick technique. That's Lao Gao's unique skill!"
As soon as these words came out, Yamamoto Kazuki immediately became energetic, "Who are you talking about? Old guy?"
"Yes, in the words of the storyteller in the teahouse, the general manager of the green forest in the four eastern provinces is an old man. He robs the rich and gives to the poor, and does justice for heaven. He has twelve moves with a short stick, which makes him superb. Such a famous person, Mr. Yamamoto, can't
Never heard of it?"
"Of course I've heard of this person. I'm asking you, how did you recognize that the person was using Lao Gao's unique skill?"
"Well..." As soon as he said this, Li Qiang immediately looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping, then lowered his voice and said to Yamamoto Kazuki, "To be honest, I tried to assassinate Mr. Matsuoka in Ice City back then.
The assassin was the 'Old Man'! I was at the scene at the time and watched him kill a dozen bodyguards and guards in one go with a baton. Of course I remember it very clearly."
"I see." Kazuki Yamamoto nodded and said, "Although I was still in Germany at the time, I also heard about the assassination. But the strange thing is that after that, I never heard anything related to it.
There is no news about this incident.”
"To tell you the truth! In fact, Mr. Matsuoka already knew that someone was planning to assassinate him, so he used his own body as a bait to lure out the old man. However, after seeing his brave martial arts,
Mr. Matsuoka was moved by his talent. Not only did he order everyone not to be cruel to him, but he also let him live. He did not issue a wanted order afterwards, so this assassination incident could not happen like this.
That’s it.”
"Oh, that's it." After hearing this, Yamamoto Kazuki nodded suddenly, but then he frowned, "No, Mr. Du, I heard that the assassin who assassinated Mr. Matsuoka was there at that time.
He is nearly fifty years old, but according to Xu Sang, Boss Chen of Xinglong Restaurant looks like he is in his early thirties, which is not suitable for his age!"
"Maybe he's his son? No matter what, he's his apprentice. Anyway, he should be someone he's close to and trusts. But then again, it's useless to just say it with my mouth. Who is he?
Those who are not old must go through further confirmation."
"What if he is really an old man?" Kazuki Yamamoto asked again.
"Then it's up to you, Yamamoto-kun." Having said this, Li Qiang gave Yamamoto Kazuki a meaningful look, "If you can successfully recruit the old gang to work for you, it will be a great achievement.
!”
"Well, that makes sense, but what should we do specifically?"
"I've already made inquiries. This restaurant will reopen in the next two days. By then..."
After hearing this, Yamamoto Kazuki nodded and agreed without saying a word: "Okay, this method is good, I will do as you say!"
"Master!" As soon as Li Qiang came out of Kazuki Yamamoto's temporary office, Wu Shibao came over and lowered his voice and said, "I've already contacted Naozi. Do you think you should find a time to make an appointment for us to meet?"
A face?"
"There's no rush." At this point, Li Qiang lowered his head and glanced at his watch, "It's almost time, let's go!"
Although he had no idea where Li Qiang was taking him, Wu Shibao obediently followed him to the coffee shop and followed the waiter into a private room.
"I'm sorry, Miss Momoi, I'm late." As soon as he entered the door, Li Qiang said apologetically to Sana Momoi, who had arrived before him.
Momoi Sana shook her head and smiled: "No, Mr. Ming, I arrived early. You see it's still two minutes before eight o'clock, so you are not late."
Speaking of this, Momoi Sana glanced at Wu Shibao behind Li Qiang intentionally or unintentionally, and asked curiously: "Who is this?"
"His name is Wu Liang, and he is my deputy."
Before she finished speaking, Momoi Sana took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Wu, let me introduce myself. My name is Momoi Sana, and I am the secretary of President Mitsui Masao of Mitsui & Co., Ltd."
Wu Shibao suddenly came back to his senses, "Ah, hello, Miss Momoi."
After saying hello, Li Qiang went straight to the topic, "Ms. Momoi, before we officially start, I would like to confirm with you one last time. You should be able to make decisions on behalf of President Mitsui, right?"
"Of course, the president has appointed me as the plenipotentiary representative for this negotiation. Does Mr. Ming have any other questions?"
"No, I think we can get started."
"Okay!" With that said, Momoi Sana took out a folder from her briefcase and handed it to Li Qiang, "Mr. Ming, this is our quotation, please take a look."
It's okay not to look at it. When he saw the quotation above, not only Li Qiang, but also Wu Shibao on the side was so shocked that his eyes widened.
"Ms. Momoi, have you made a mistake? This quotation is too high. It is five times higher. You are simply taking advantage of the situation!"
"Mr. Ming, you can't say that. It is said that these weapons, equipment and ammunition are contraband that is strictly prohibited from private transactions. If it weren't for Mr. Ming's personal relationship with Master Mitsui, President Mitsui would not have made such an opening at all.
If anyone else had offered him a price of ten or fifteen times, let alone five times, we would not have sold him a single bullet!"
"So, this five times the price is just for my sake?"
"That's of course. But since Mr. Ming has spoken so hard, I can't refute your reputation. How about this? I'll personally make the decision and give you a 10% discount. How about that?"
"Ten percent off? Then I really owe you a big favor!" Li Qiang replied with a smile, "In this case, I will go to the factory directly to pick up the goods. I will bear the risk of the transportation process for you. You can call me again.
How about folding it in half?”
"Mr. Ming, I found that you are very talented in negotiation! If you are not careful, you will fall into your trap. But if you are really willing to bear the risks in the transportation process for us, then I will let you do it again.
OK, I’ll give you a 20% discount. Is that okay?”
Hearing this, Li Qiang couldn't help but touch his chin and said slowly: "It's okay, but..."
"But what?"
"Due to the special nature of this transaction, I hope that all weapons, equipment and ammunition must be untraceable and the serial numbers cannot be found. To put it simply, they can be sold directly on the black market. Is that okay?"
"No problem, but it will take a lot of time to process such a large batch of arms."
"It doesn't matter, we have a lot of patience. Anyway, we have to deploy manpower from Shanghai, so... how about delivery in a week?"
"One...week?" As soon as these words came out, Momoi Sana's eyes widened and she said in disbelief.
"Why, it's not enough? It shouldn't be. With the current scale of your arsenal, the work efficiency cannot be so low no matter how hard it is!"
"No, no, no, Mr. Ming, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant." Momoi Sana quickly waved her hand and explained, "Actually, we can finish this work in less than three days. Such a large number of untraceable arms is too much to release.
One day in our warehouse means one more day of risk for our transaction. Look...can you pick up the goods a little earlier?"
"Oh, then this will be difficult to handle. You also know that it will take five days at the fastest to get there by train from Shanghai..."
However, before Li Qiang could finish his words, Momoi Sana jumped in front of him and said: "Take the waterway, from HLD, I can help you arrange it."
"Isn't this... bad? The sea is very windy and rough, what if we encounter a tornado or something? Besides, the cost..."
"Let's go out!"
"Okay, that's refreshing enough! But you still have to let me make another 10% profit."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Momoi Sana's face disappeared instantly, and she said seriously: "Mr. Ming, there is an old saying in China, which is called 'The snake swallows the elephant when the human heart is not enough'. The most important thing in doing business is sincerity, but it is very difficult to
Unfortunately, I don’t see any sincerity in you. If Mr. Ming insists on doing this, then I think there is no need for us to continue talking. It’s okay if we don’t do this business!”
Saying that, Momoi Sana stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Qiang, "Wait a minute, Miss Momoi, don't leave in such a hurry! You are right, the most important thing in doing business is indeed sincerity.
I very much agree with this, but you say that I am not sincere, which I disagree with. I am just trying my best to get more benefits, and there is a reason why I let you give up this profit.
Don’t want to listen?”
"Okay, then tell me, why do you want me to give up 10% of my profit to you?"
Li Qiang smiled and replied slowly: "It's very simple, because the port terminal of HLD is named Gu."
