Chapter 576: Two Gifts
Zheng Xudong accepted the invitation of Li Peilin, the deputy director of TJ Customs and a doctoral student brought by his father back then, to his house for dinner, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves at the end of the meal.
The happiest person here is Li Peilin's wife Yang Qiulan, who has reached the level of a professional chef in Huaiyang cuisine, in addition to crab roe lion head and Wensi tofu, others such as crystal meat and squirrel mandarin fish are also first-class delicious. The last staple food is, of course, Yangzhou fried rice, Yang Qiulan is a native of Yangzhou, and this Yangzhou fried rice is the most authentic one Zheng Xudong has ever eaten.
During the banquet, Zheng Xudong knew that Yang Qiulan was the daughter of a large family in Yangzhou, and was educated by a good education, which can be said to be a good knowledge of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking is just a hobby of hers, and the real power is embroidery. In ancient times, only mothers would pass it on to their daughters in person.
After Zheng Xudong heard this information, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he had a bold idea, but he didn't say it on the spot, and decided to get acquainted with it later. This idea of his will be of great use in the future!
After the meal, Li Peilin took Zheng Xudong and Li Qiutong to the study, and Li Qiutong personally made a pot of treasured red robes.
Zheng Xudong called Tang Luoyong outside to bring in the two suitcases in the car before entering the study.
In the study, Zheng Xudong took a sip of tea and opened the two boxes.
"Wow, brother, you really got it! Awesome!" Li Qiutong said when he saw a whole box of euros.
"Brother Li, this is a million euros in cash, as you handle the handling fee for me to enter the customs of those cars, this box is the keys to those cars, I will stuff it into the box indiscriminately at that time, and then work hard for your staff to correspond to the car separately!" Zheng Xudong said to Li Qiutong.
Li Peilin was obviously interested in Zheng Xudong being able to get so much euro foreign exchange, but he didn't say anything, just glanced at the box containing the money with his eyes, and his shocked expression flashed.
However, his son Li Qiutong picked up a wad of money with his hand and looked back and forth, "Brother, cattle, these are old banknotes, and it is easier to sell." After speaking, he threw the money into the box and closed it, and looked at the box containing the car keys again, "Brother, you will leave the car to me, don't worry, ten days, no, seven days, I will finish the matter for you." ”
"Okay, then I'll ask my driver Tang Luoyong to come to you, the one who drove today, you've seen it. ”
"Well, I'll call you when I'm done, and then you ask him to come to me!"
Seeing that the matter of the two young people had been negotiated, Li Peilin, who was sitting behind the desk, said with a smile: "Adong, you are my lucky star!"
"Uncle Li, what do you say?"
"After you left today, I received a notice from the General Administration of Customs that I would temporarily take over as the Commissioner of TJ Customs. Li Peilin said with a smile.
"Dad, really?" asked Li Qiutong in surprise.
At noon, Director Song Chunsheng was taken away by someone from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and I heard my old leader tell me that his wife reported him in real name that he was corrupt in life, had kept his lover for a long time and had a child with his lover, and had accepted bribes of hundreds of millions of yuan over the years. In addition, the company owned by Song Chunsheng and his mistress had an accident last night, and there is no possibility for him to come out again. Li Peilin picked up a box of Liqun cigarettes on the table, opened it, and smoked one on it slowly.
"Dad, it's time for you to go, you should have been promoted to the commissioner in the magic capital two years ago, but it was delayed by others at that time, and it took another two years to wait for this opportunity, this time there can't be any more accidents!" Li Qiutong said with some unconvincing.
"The old leader has already said today, this time it has been decided, and the General Administration will come down in a few days to announce the personnel appointments. Ha... Li Peilin could no longer restrain the joy in his heart and laughed.
"Congratulations to Uncle Li on his ascension! I think this time should prepare a gift for your old leader, thank him for his cultivation over the years!" Zheng Xudong said as he sat on the sidelines.
"Adong, I didn't expect you to understand this, back then your father was a self-proclaimed literati, and the most annoying thing was to give gifts to people, I sent things a few times and your father returned them, and later said that you don't want me as a student if you send them again! I didn't expect you to have a higher EQ than your father!" Li Peilin smiled and nodded and said: "But I'm an old leader... I don't lack money, I don't love money, I love only two things, alas... Li Peilin let out a long sigh.
"Dad, does Grandpa Wan like it... Woman?" asked Li Qiutong tentatively.
"Bastard! What nonsense! Your grandfather Wan is almost eighty years old, how can he have that kind of thought, and besides, your grandfather Wan's style was also very tough when he was young, and no one can say anything! Don't think about it there!" Li Peilin was a little unhappy that his son said that he was the old leader who was pulling himself in one hand.
"Is it a cultural relic?" Zheng Xudong guessed and said.
Li Peilin thought about it when he heard Zheng Xudong's words, and nodded, "Almost, my old leader believed in Buddhism when he was young, and he likes Buddha statues with a sense of historical age, alas!"
"Dad, Grandpa Wan's favorite things are too difficult to do, the Buddha statues in the historical era are all offered in the temple, how can I get it for him! Why don't you tell me something else he likes, and see if we can figure it out?"
"The other one is even more difficult!Alas! Don't say it!" Li Peilin said with a frown.
"What can be embarrassing for you, the customs chief!" Li Qiutong said.
"Guns!"
"What?," Li Qiutong asked.
Li Peilin nodded, "Your grandfather Wan was a soldier on the battlefield in his early years, and he crawled out of the pile of dead people, so he likes guns, and he has to be a famous gun!"
I was just thinking that I had to get a pistol for Grandpa Wan from overseas, but if you want to say a famous gun, I can't help it. Li Qiutong sat on the sofa with a depressed face, smoking non-stop.
"Uncle Li, I just happen to have both of these things you said. Zheng Xudong said with a smile.
"Adong, what are you talking about? Are you telling the truth?" Li Peilin got up in his chair excitedly and touched all the tea on the table, "You didn't tease your uncle!"
"Uncle Li, how could I make such a joke with you!" Zheng Xudong also took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and Li Peilin immediately walked around from behind the desk and lit the cigarette for Zheng Xudong with a lighter, and said, "How much is it?"
"What's not money?" Zheng Xudong smiled, "Wait a minute, these two things happen to be in my car, wait for me, I'll pick them up." ”
Zheng Xudong stood up and walked outside, in fact, the things were in his space, but he couldn't take them out in the study, so he could only pretend to get in the car to get them.
As for the Buddha statues, he hid several of them in the safe house vault of the penthouse of the top luxury apartment of the third son of the Russian gangster, ONE 57, and he didn't look closely at it at the time, but it looked a bit like Southeast Asia, such as Thailand, India or Nepal. I am thinking about finding an expert to identify it after returning to China, and it can be used at this time.
As for guns, he has more space, robbed an arms warehouse disguised as a gas station, and robbed the son of the Indian Defense Minister to buy American arms containers, but if he wants a celebrity's gun, he really has it in the space, it is said that it is a pistol made of gold collected by Saddam Hussein, and this gun can still be fired. This gun was hidden in a container in India. How did this Indian asan get it, he doesn't know.
Soon, Zheng Xudong came to the study again with two small black briefcases from outside the house.
Li Peilin knew the importance of Zheng Xudong taking these things, especially guns, which were contraband, so he personally stood up and locked the door of the study.
Zheng Xudong put the box on the desk, opened one of the boxes, and immediately there was a strange fragrance coming to his nose, "It's gloomy and woody!" Li Peilin saw that this shape was obviously not like the domestic Buddha statue, and then gently picked up the Buddha statue from the box with his hand and looked at it carefully, and said: "This Buddha statue should be from Thailand if I am not mistaken, through this thick layer of pulp outside, I know that it is an old object, a rare good thing!" After speaking, he couldn't put the Buddha statue back into the box.
"I didn't expect Uncle Li to be an antique expert!" Zheng Xudong said.
"Adong, to make you laugh, the customs has also caught a lot of smuggled cultural relics over the years, and every time I catch them, I have to find experts to identify them, so I can be regarded as having some knowledge, everyone, don't dare to be!"
Zheng Xudong opened another box, if it was a strange smell just now, this was dazzling gold, a desert eagle made of pure gold was flat in the sponge of the box, and there was an empty magazine next to it, and next to the magazine were seven bullets made of pure gold.
Before Li Peilin could get started, Li Qiutong on the side grabbed the golden gun in his hand with an "ah", "Pure gold sand eagle!"
Zheng Xudong didn't pay attention to him, and said to Li Peilin: "Uncle Li, this gun must be kept safe, the person who gave me at that time told me not to look at this sand eagle is pure gold, and the bullet is also pure gold, it can be fired normally! It is not a trivial matter to be found by the police!"
"Don't worry! I understand its importance, and I will go and give things to the old leader in the next two days, and he will be very happy. I can imagine that these two things can make the old leader play for a year or two. ”
"Wouldn't Uncle Li's position as the head of TJ Customs be more stable!" Zheng Xudong said with a smile.
"If I was 90% sure just now, now I'm 100% sure, ha... I will not forget your help to me, and this will be your home from now on. Remember to tell me anything, as long as I can do it, there will be no ambiguity!" If just now he just did his best to take care of the deceased teacher and child, then now Li Peilin has completely made friends with Zheng Xudong.
