Chapter 43: Roberts's Troubles

The bell rang for a long time.

No one answered?

But just when Jiang Chen was about to hang up, the phone was connected.

"Who?" was a short, unfamiliar voice on the other end of the line, and it was in English.

The voice was low and hoarse, and it didn't seem like Roberts was answering the phone.

"Jiang Chen, Boss Roberts' Chinese friend, may I ask who you are?" Jiang Chen replied slowly in his sixth-level English.

"Nick Kaczynski. My boss is in trouble, can I trust you?" Nick asked in a deep voice after a moment's hesitation.

"Of course, Roberts is a good guy. Although I am far away in China, I still think about him. Moreover, there is still a business between us that is not finished. Jiang Chen searched his intestines and scraped his stomach for a long time, and finally read this passage clearly in English.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, but Nick eventually spoke.

Because Jiang Chen's English was terrible, Nick deliberately slowed down his speech. After some tossing, Jiang Chen finally figured out what happened.

In short, Roberts went to Iraq two days ago to do business, and one of them was accidentally kidnapped. Originally, with Nick's combat power, there would be no such a fork, but no one expected that the old informant who had worked together too many times was actually an internal ghost. It was not the local armed forces that came to take over the arms at all, but a group of veiled terrorists.

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen had a wry smile on his face.

Now it's in trouble

Damn, if you don't do the gold business, what are you going to do in that hellish place, drop the chain at the critical moment and no matter how Jiang Chen scolds in his heart, in fact, Roberts also has his troubles.

Originally, he was ready to stabilize during this time, but seeing that Jiang Chen hadn't called, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Did that Oriental man really have a business? Why didn't he hear from him? So Roberts, who couldn't sit still, had itchy hands again, and it happened to be the business of the old man's joint, and the risk factor was "low", so he went

However, scolding and scolding, this golden Jiang Chen still has to find a way to solve it.

It's just that for a while, he really can't find a way to realize so much gold. It's crazy to get rid of this gold in China, and there is no invoice for the gold worth 500 million US dollars. He didn't want to be targeted by the mysterious authorities, and if he did let those people find out something, it would be bad in every sense.

Why don't you want to go to Iraq?

Jiang Chen's face was a little hesitant, but then a playful smile appeared, which might be a good note. With all the sophisticated equipment on his body, and his "superhuman" body index, he really didn't worry much about what danger he would encounter.

What's more, if you can't beat it, you can run. Turn into the corner of the wall and cross directly, escape to the end of the world to stay for a day or two, who can beat him?

At the same time, Jiang Chen still had another consideration for this decision.

If Roberts is pulled in this matter, not only can the gold matter be solved smoothly, but there will also be one more way back. In case one day he can't get along in the country, it's better to find another place to go, isn't it? I believe that Roberts will not pull him back when the time comes.

Although there is only one relationship, he can still see that Roberts is a businessman with a very "contract spirit".

This is very important.

If it is a cunning and mercenary person, it is a waste of feelings to save it, and it is better to change the partner again.

Jiang Chen, who had made up his mind, did not delay, and immediately booked a ticket to Dubai online, planning to transfer to Baghdad after arriving in Dubai. He had done it when he was in school, but he hadn't had much of a chance to use it for a few years. Next, go to the embassy to apply for a tourist visa and you can go.

After dealing with the air ticket, Jiang Chen also made more stops, and simply packed up the salute and went out. Since the house is no longer rented, he casually found a seven-day hotel to open a standard room, and after the gold matter was dealt with, he would consider buying a house.

Although these few tons of gold are not easy to sell, it is still possible to take out one or two kilograms of gold and cash out some yuan first.

It just so happened that Jiang Chen's money was almost gone, so he took out the business card and called Boss Liu of the gold store to make an appointment.

It was still seven kilograms of gold, and Jiang Chen didn't bother to care about those fractions, so he directly traded at the price of 150W.

It's just that what Jiang Chen didn't notice was that the moment he left the gold shop, a flash of almost undisguised greed flashed on Liu Anshan's face.

Liu Anshan became more and more convinced that this guy must have a special way to get a lot of gold. Maybe it's a tomb robbery? Maybe it's a private mine? Liu Anshan doesn't know, he only knows that that kid definitely has more than just this little bit in his hands!

He secretly investigated Jiang Chen. When Jiang Chen got that money last time, he spent almost all of the money without blinking an eye. It's not been a month now, and he came to his shop to sell gold.

What does this mean?

This shows that he has an unimaginable amount of gold! If he only got it by chance, how could he spend it so quickly?

As for whether Jiang Chen is a dangerous person, Boss Liu has also asked acquaintances to investigate.

It's just a small employee who once worked in Bailian Shimao's clothing store for a year, and was finally fired by his boss. I didn't believe that this little person could have any background.

It's time to get in touch with my brother

But just when he thought of his brother, Liu Anshan's face still showed a hint of hesitation. To be honest, he didn't want to have much to do with that brother, but he had to ask him to come out of the way.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Anshan still made up his mind and dialed the phone number in his hand.

"Hey, brother, it's me, Liu Anshan, I won't say hello, are you interested in a business? We have five or five points, the lowest is four or six points!

Liu Changlong, the boss of the Hongyi Gang, is also a figure with a head and a face in Wanghai City.

Speaking of which, Jiang Chen and that Hongyi Gang still have a little holiday

After coming out of the gold shop, Jiang Chen went directly to the outskirts of the city. He was to rent a warehouse in the suburbs to store the supplies that were ready to be shipped to the last days. Although online shopping is also a convenient method, it is not a long-term solution. The survivor base now has more than 30 people, and it is much more convenient to purchase materials directly through grain wholesalers than in supermarkets, and it can also save costs.

After paying the rent directly for 1 year, Jiang Chen rented a small warehouse. Whether it is the traffic environment near the warehouse or the concealment of the internal space of the warehouse, Jiang Chen is very satisfied. The rent is 3,000 yuan per month, which is not very expensive in the suburbs of Wanghai City, and Jiang Chen rented it for two years.

Jiang Chen, who had rented a warehouse, did not rest, and directly found the number of a local grain product wholesaler in Wanghai City on the Internet. Jiang Chen didn't talk nonsense, and directly opened his mouth with 10 tons of rice, 5 tons of flour, 300 boxes of canned meat and 200 boxes of canned fruit, as well as various salt, grain and oil and other materials. With such a big business, the owner of the grain and oil store who answered the phone naturally accepted the order without hesitation, and after asking the address, he patted his chest and promised that it would be delivered within 2 hours. The only requirement was to pay the deposit first, after all, he was afraid that Jiang Chen was playing tricks on him.

Jiang Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly called all the money.

As soon as the full amount of 160,000 yuan arrived, the grain and oil boss was taken aback, and he didn't know what luck he had taken today, and he actually met a big man with such a generous shot. The full amount of 160,000 yuan didn't blink an eye.

The grain and oil boss who received the money naturally prepared non-stop, and even got on the truck himself and drove with the driver to the warehouse rented by Jiang Chen in the suburbs.

Jiang Chen could naturally see the flattery of the grain and oil boss, but Jiang Chen didn't say much to him, but repeatedly emphasized that if the quality of this batch of goods was good, he would come to him next time to buy the goods. In this regard, the grain and oil boss naturally patted his chest and made a package ticket. All the rice is fresh from the factory, and the canned food is also imported from regular channels without any problems.

Jiang Chen smiled noncommittally, and then vaguely said that next time he needed the kind of goods that were not printed and packaged, but the quality was not ambiguous at all. The grain and oil boss was stunned for this, but then showed a smile of "I understand", and then agreed.

That kind of goods is not difficult for him to handle, and it is easy to get it by contacting acquaintances in the factory, but it is just one less procedure on the assembly line.

After a few simple greetings, the grain and oil boss saw that Jiang Chen seemed to have something to do, so he said goodbye very interestingly.

After watching the truck drive away, Jiang Chen returned to the warehouse, and then closed the door tightly. Then it's time to get down to business.

Looking at the materials piled up in most of the warehouse, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

Once back and forth, Jiang Chen lit a cigarette and rested for a while. Then, under the eyes of Miss Sun Jiao's surprise and difference, Jiang Chen piled up most of the materials in the warehouse into the golden swimming pool.

A pool full of food

"How about I help you get a few more gold in the vault," Sun Jiao, who had been in a daze for a long time, came back to her senses and just popped out of this sentence in a daze.

"Poof, the gold hasn't been completely taken off this time, if you get me another bunch, I won't be able to exchange it for money." Also, this amount of food doesn't cost much in our area at all. Jiang Chen said with a smile and a smile.

"Then why don't you get some back. Sun Jiao was a little embarrassed, in order to hide herself, she hurriedly put on a vicious expression and bared her teeth at Jiang Chen. It's just that in Jiang Chen's eyes, this expression is just a coquettish without deterrence.

"Don't be greedy, snack goods, will you finish eating when you get so much?" Jiang Chen laughed and patted Sun Jiao's buttocks.

"Eat, you can put it away if you can't finish eating. Sun Jiao's face flushed, and she glared at Jiang Chen fiercely again.

"Don't eat it as a piglet, then I'm going to eat Yao Yao." Jiang Chen said jokingly.

"Die, rascal. Sun Jiao raised her hand angrily and hammered Jiang Chen's shoulder a few times, but looking at Jiang Chen's smiling appearance, she knew that it must not hurt at all.

Of course, Jiang Chen is just saying that, he is not so beastly that he will really "eat" Yao Yao. And Sun Jiao's toned little waist doesn't look like he's going to grow fat.

"By the way, you find a few careful and reliable people to dispose of the production date and other signs on these things, this matter is not sloppy at all, or it is simply up to you and Yao Yao to do it yourself. In the future, I will try to find a way to get the kind of goods that don't print anything on the packaging. ”

After repeatedly telling Sun Jiao what he needed to pay attention to, he traveled back to the present world again.

Looking at the already empty warehouse, Jiang Chen walked out of the door without any stop. I locked the door of the warehouse, and carefully checked that I could see the inside of the warehouse from the outside. He then walked straight to the side of the road, flagged down a taxi and went straight back to the city.

In the car, he took out his mobile phone and called Xia Shiyu.

"What? How long are you going to go abroad for a while?" Xia Shiyu unexpectedly didn't show too much surprise when Jiang Chen was going to disappear for a while, or was already surprised.

At least this time Jiang Chen reported his whereabouts, so that there would be no news. Last time, Xia Shiyu was so scared that she thought something had happened to him, and almost contacted the police to find him.

"Well, it won't be long, business. I'll be back in a week or so. ”

"What about the company's affairs" Xia Shiyu sighed, her voice quite helpless.

"Of course it's please, hehe"

Hearing Jiang Chen's hippie smiling voice, Xia Shiyu smiled bitterly and rubbed her temples.

"I've put all the game data in the USB flash drive, and I'll send it downstairs to your house later. You must be more familiar with the approval process of the incineration department than I am. Hehe, then there is Lao, wait for me to come back and invite you to a big meal. Jiang Chen felt that his face was getting thicker and thicker, and said with a smile.

"Please let me eat for a week!" Xia Shiyu gritted her teeth and said viciously.

"No problem, it's all done in a month!" However, the hearty voice on the other end of the phone made her feel that she had nowhere to go.

Hanging up the phone, Xia Shiyu put the phone aside and leaned on the back of the sofa to let out a sigh.

This damn guy

But now he is his subordinate again, if it was before, it would be okay

Thinking of the past, she suddenly fell silent. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little nostalgic for her driving Jiang Chen away. Thinking about the miserable life she had had since lost her job, she suddenly felt bad.

Guilt, anxiety, self-blame?

I can't tell.

Resting the back of her head on the back of the sofa, as if she wasn't thinking, Xia Shiyu stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.

She liked the modern apartment very much, with its compact and comfortable upper and lower floors. Although she is working, she usually looks like she is not smiling. But in life, she is unexpectedly a woman with a very good taste for life.

With a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, she took out half of it as housing expenses. She doesn't feel distressed about this expense at all, because in her consumption concept, earning money is originally to improve the quality of life, and excessive savings are just a manifestation of lack of confidence in the future.

What's more, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to urge her to repay the money, so she was not so anxious to save the money.

However, what she didn't even notice was that she, who had always paid attention to reasonable planning of expenses, did not take the matter of repaying her savings into her monthly expenses at all.

Looking at the delicate crystal chandelier, Xia Shiyu suddenly thought of the poor life she spent in that low-rent house with a monthly rent of 800. At that time, she had to be careful about even eating a meal.

For some reason, a man's face popped up in her mind.

It was a face that was always hippie smiley.

To be honest, Xia Shiyu, who has always been accustomed to seriousness, hates the immodest appearance of the hippie smile.

However, that face was something she couldn't hate

Xia Shiyu touched her lips with a dull gaze, she couldn't understand this question.

A throbbing that she had never felt on her heart before.

Why is that

Forget it, don't want to. She shook her head, sat up from the sofa, picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned off the variety show that was playing.

Jiang Chen is going to send a USB flash drive later, and it is not easy to see him like this, so let's go take a shower first, thinking so, Xia Shiyu returned to the bedroom, took out the clothes that she was going to change from the closet, and then walked into the bathroom and closed the frosted glass door.

Looking at the dripping water under the sprinkler, letting the crystal droplets wash over her fair skin, Xia Shiyu was stunned again.

Hey?

Speaking of which, didn't I wash it once after my late run?
