Chapter 196: Vacation
For more than a week, the entire crew was out of business.
In fact, not much happened, that is, people like Haji would come to the door every two days to find faults;
Therefore, Yang Zhu and Ivanov and other leading actors are either fighting, or on the way to heal and prepare for a fight.
After playing four games in a row, Yang Zhu felt that it was almost over, and rushed to work for a few more days, finished filming the plot in Afghanistan, and prepared to transfer to the United States to shoot the rest of the plot.
However, it was somewhat unexpected that Yang Zhu, who has always been strict at work, did not rush to transfer scenes, but gave the whole crew half a month of paid leave, saying that it was for the sake of their hard work during this time, and they had a good rest and rest, which caused the crew to shout long live, and they were almost in tears;
In the past two months in Afghanistan, the climate with a huge temperature difference between day and night has made the entire crew suffer, and colds and fevers are the norm;
Coupled with the limited materials, the diet is mainly pasta and meat, and the vegetables are pitiful, so six out of ten people began to have constipation to a greater or lesser extent;
However, the task is heavy, and a group of people are forced to endure all kinds of discomfort and carry out more than ten hours of high-intensity work every day, and the hardships can be imagined.
And now that I have half a month of paid leave, if nothing else, I can at least fly back to China, sleep for three days and three nights in a row, plus nibble on a whole big watermelon every day, and eat five plates of various vegetarian dishes!
What, you said to go shabu-shabu?
Please, they want to vomit when they see the meat now, okay?
………………
New York, USA.
Ivanov looked at the slightly depressed but still prosperous urban area, and tears of excitement welled up in his eyes, while the slingshot, lord and others behind him were also embarrassed;
In fact, most countries prohibit mercenaries from entering the country on the surface, although the middle and senior executives of the major security companies that are inextricably linked to the United States can walk on the street with swagger.
However, for Ivanov and others, although the number of times they have come to the United States is not small, they are smuggled here like rats, and there are not many opportunities to wander around freely.
"Yang, thank you so much!" Ivanov played with the green passport in his hand and said to Yang Zhu gratefully:
"But why do you want to change my nationality to Kazakh? I'm obviously a good Mali?" Ivanov muttered.
Yang Zhu glanced at Ivanov's bear-like body and rolled his eyes:
"I'm getting you a special business visa for our Huaxia, your current temporary status is also our Huaxia, where are we from the Mali ethnic group in China!?"
The lord also looked at his passport with a sad face: "Although the human bear has been changed to the Kazakh ethnic group, but the bears of the Russian power also have this ethnic group, but I am a Gaul, and the words on this passport are actually Qiang, the difference between them is too big, right?"
The slingshot also made a fuss: "Yes, I'm obviously from Tulip Country, but what you write on it is Tatar, people will wear it when they see it, right?"
Yang Zhu was a little big-headed, and said impatiently: "Anyway, this is a cover-up, as long as you don't make a major incident, who will seriously investigate you so blindly?"
"Don't forget, you are holding a special business visa in your hand, and you represent an investment project of up to tens of billions behind you, not to mention that the US economy is seriously injured now, and you are anxiously waiting for a blood transfusion to recover; even in the past, even if people knew that you were a murderer, they had to smile at you!"
Although they have been explained before, but hearing Yang Zhu emphasize it again, Ivanov and the others are still a lot more relieved, but they feel even more dreamy, their group of mercenaries who beg for a living, in just a few months, first acted in a movie, and then turned around and became a member of the expert group of a sky-high investment project in name!?
Just when Ivanov was doubting his life, the lord on the side suddenly changed his face slightly, lowered his body and said: "Someone is staring at us, it should be those FBI guys!"
Ivanov's hairs stood on end, his eyes showed deep guard, and the slingshot on the side glanced around, as if looking for an escape route.
Yang Zhu saw the appearance of their clothes as if they were facing a great enemy, and couldn't help but hold his forehead, this group of guys has really been thieves for a long time, and they are afraid when they see tiger skins!
Immediately coughed: "I said, guys, can you guys have some fun!?"
Seeing that the group of mercenaries looked at him inexplicably, Yang Zhu first glared at Li Lan next to him, and then followed the slingshot's gaze and beckoned straight to a man in a suit who was shrinking in the corner of the airport.
Li Lan, who was glared at, naturally knew that Yang Zhu thought it was his own reason, which caused the FBI to stare at him, and in addition to the ghostly fire, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, his identity could never be known to the other party, it was clearly that group of mercenaries, and they were on the FBI's attention list early, right?
Yang Zhu beckoned twice in a row, and when he saw that the man in the suit was still looking down and concentrating on the newspaper, he couldn't help sighing and said slowly: "Man, hurry up, I'm looking for you if I have something!"
Seeing this, the man in the suit could only get up, glanced at his companion without a trace, and walked to Yang Zhu's side in a few steps, pursed his lips, and made a look of listening attentively, but he didn't say a word.
Yang Zhu looked at the imperishment on this poker face, and couldn't help but feel extremely unhappy.
Hehe twice, he directly slapped the man in the suit twice with his palm: "Dude, are you planning to spy on us?"
"Or do you suspect us of spies?"
"If that's the case, we'll leave immediately, and the tens of billions of projects, we'll just have to invest in another country!"
"Hehe, I really don't believe it, without Butcher Zhang, you can't eat pork!"
After saying that, with a wave of hands, a group of people turned around and left.
The man in the suit was slapped on the face by Yang Zhu a few times, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but when he heard Yang Zhu threaten to withdraw his investment, and turned around and left, he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly went up and grabbed him;
What are you kidding, although the upper authorities have long found out that something is wrong with this member of the "expert group", they just think that this group of mercenaries is actually the bodyguards they invited over, and it is just routine work to keep an eye on them.
But if Yang Zhu, who is obviously a real talker, leaves, and really withdraws his investment, then not only himself, but even his superiors will not be able to eat and walk around!
This is a huge investment of nearly $6 billion, and it is also a private project with no political bargaining chips, and the United States, which has suffered a great loss of vitality due to the subprime mortgage crisis, is looking forward to the implementation of this project as soon as possible.
You must know that this project is of great significance to the current United States, in addition to bringing tax revenue, employment and other returns, it also has important international public opinion significance:
- Look, although we in the United States have encountered a little trouble, but after all, it is the world's NO1 investment mecca, haven't you seen the Chinese people hurriedly carrying huge sums of money to invest, don't you hurry up with the money to come and queue up?
Therefore, in this special period, the U.S. Department of Commerce attaches great importance to this project; although two months ago, Dahua Investment has signed contracts of intent with some states, and has built some martial arts halls, but after all, it is only a small part, and most of it has not yet started.
Thinking of this, the man in the suit couldn't hold back any longer, and quickly changed to a stiff smile: "Mr. Yang, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"Actually, I'm here to keep you safe!"
"Hmm...... By the way, I want to see if there's anything we need help with. ”
Yang Zhu looked unbelieving, teared off the sleeve that was pulled in disgust, and continued to walk forward,
The man in the suit trembled in his mouth, apologized for his sins, said good things, and even directly dialed his boss's phone and asked him to endorse him.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Zhu reflected on the groveling on the other side, then stared at the man in the suit, and said teasingly: "So, you really came to protect us, by the way?"
Seeing that Yang Zhu showed signs of easing, the man in the suit hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a dry smile:
"People like UOB Investment and Mr. Yang, who selflessly extend the hand of friendship when our country is facing difficulties, are naturally our most honored guests and friends in the United States;"
"Therefore, we naturally need to do our best to ensure your personal safety and do our best to be a landlord,"
"If Mr. Yang needs our cooperation, or if there is any innocuous little thing that we need to run errands, just ask!"
Yang Zhu looked at the man in the suit with a smile, in order to calm things down, he even said this kind of naked dog-legged words, it seems that the punishment mechanism in the FBI is still quite scary.
At that moment, he immediately hooked his hand, hugged the shoulder of the man in the suit, walked a few steps, and said with a smile:
"That's just something you need help with,"
"Don't worry, it's just a small matter for you!"
Then in the curious eyes of everyone, Yang Zhu muttered beside the ears of the man in the suit for a long time, and his intimate posture caused the strange eyes of countless passers-by.
After a while, the man in the suit listened to Yang Zhu's request, and his face was embarrassed: "Mr. Yang, these things you want are not difficult for us;"
"But ......"
"Can you tell me what you want these things for?"
Yang Zhu smiled:
"Of course you know, we are not philanthropists, and the ultimate goal of such a big project must be to make money,"
"So what about making money, within the scope of the law, it must be done to the extreme,"
"These things that you are asking for are actually an important part of our next business plan,"
"As a member of the expert group, in fact, this time I came to the United States, in fact, the main purpose is this!"
The man in the suit frowned, as an FBI who has been working for a long time, he can generally think of Yang Zhu's next moves, and he also knows what it means if he gives those things to Yang Zhu:
"But, Mr. Yang, it will be very difficult for us to do so. ”
Yang Zhu saw the hesitation in his words, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Since you are so uncooperative, then I can only return to China immediately and ask our chairman to carefully consider the follow-up work of this investment;"
"After all, your country's economy is so depressed and social order is extremely deteriorating, if we don't use some unconventional means, how can we ensure that this project can be carried out smoothly, and how can we ensure that our investment can recover money?"
"Hmph, in this world, there are people who do the business of killing heads, and there is absolutely no fool who goes back to do the business of losing money!"
The sweat on the forehead of the man in the suit came out again, tangled for a moment, and gritted his teeth: "Mr. Yang, please wait a while, I'll report to the above!"
After saying that, he slipped aside and started making a phone call.
After a full five minutes, the man in the suit accepted the phone, walked to Yang Zhu's side, and said with difficulty: "Mr. Yang, your request has been agreed to above,"
"However, there is a request from above,"
"I just hope that your actions don't go too far, otherwise it will be difficult for us to clean up. ”
When Yang Zhu heard the answer he wanted, he suddenly became amiable again, and patted the man in the suit lightly: "We are good people who respect the public and abide by the law, how can we go too far!?"
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you!"
After speaking, ignoring the slander in the eyes of the man in the suit, he beckoned, and walked towards the outside of the airport with a group of people.
………………
Out of the airport, Yang Zhu looked at Li Lan, who was still following him, and his face was inexplicable: "Why did you come out with you, hurry up and buy a ticket to go back to China!"
Then he shook his head and sighed: "Young people nowadays, they don't have any consciousness at all!"
Li Lan was surprised: "Why do I want to go back to China?"
Yang Zhu pouted: "At the beginning, I promised you to come with me, but it was just for the sake of you being able to help do something,"
"And now, someone has done your thing for me, and it must be better than you,"
"Then what are you still doing with me, let me bear more consumption, so that I can contribute to the economic construction of the United States!?"
Li Lan was almost not mad, he had seen crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but he had never seen the place where the bridge was demolished so justifiably!
gritted his teeth at the moment, and said coldly: "You and I can't call the shots for this, you have the ability, you call someone to go back!"
Yang Zhu snorted in his nose, he naturally knew that the above would not let Li Lan go back at this time no matter what, he was just unhappy with the mental torture he suffered in Afghanistan, and he just said something.
At that moment, he stood in front of the car that Dahua Investment came to pick up people, and let Li Lan get in and feel the west.
For five minutes, Li Lan completed the inspection on the body as usual, and then signaled that Yang Zhu could get into the car, Yang Zhu sat in the back row loudly, and then closed his eyes to recuperate, as if he was sitting next to his housekeeper and servant.
And Li Lan, who was completely ignored on the side, gritted his silver teeth fiercely, and secretly hated in his heart:
When will the task of protecting this bastard come to an end!?
With this guy, every minute and every second is torture!
