Chapter 208: Thai Gangsters
"What a lot of words!" The star fruit stretched its waist fiercely, and it turned out that it hurt to stand and talk. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's okay to have back pain now, but won't it be even more back pain when you count the money in the future." Da Ming quipped. Now that the plan has been implemented, the next step is to take out a loan, and you must borrow a lot of money, and 200 million US dollars is the minimum requirement, if you can borrow more.
When they first arrived in Thailand, the siblings hadn't done a good job, especially Chiang Mai. Chen Wulang hoped that the two of them would hurry to the orchard and not stay here longer, he sighed: "Your actions are always impatient, the pace of life here is very slow, where are you like this, come over to talk about business." ”
Carambola grinned, the so-called opportunity is not to be missed, it is really a hassle to exchange a large amount of Thai baht into US dollars in the next three months.
The city was a little cool in the evening, Chen Lin pulled the luggage, and the star fruit quickly opened it and changed into a thick coat. The streets are still very lively, with many women dressed in traditional costumes, and some children who are clearly schoolchildren, wearing black pants and white shirts.
The skin tone of the Thai people tends to be brown, and people like Da Ming and Chen Wulang, who run a little more under the sun, are also black, but here the star fruit is unusually white. But no one cares about such Chinese girls, and people are busy coming home from work or eating at a restaurant on the street.
Chen Wulang had already prepared the car, but the star fruit still wanted to walk, and she felt that since the farm was near the city, it would not be a big deal to simply walk over. The air was filled with the smell of food, the aroma of chili peppers and barbecue meat through her nimble little nose. Eventually, she stopped at the door of a restaurant and said, "Let's eat right here." ”
Daming shrugged, only to see that the restaurant was quite well decorated, but the store seemed a little small, and he hesitated slightly. After all, this is abroad, and what he is most worried about is what trouble his sister will encounter, after all, she has already encountered too much trouble.
Chen Wulang knows a lot about the situation in this area, and after his daughter got married, he came here, bought a few orchards and began to survey the surrounding environment. He came with a lot of money, so he soon encountered the local gang.
Although this matter is difficult to talk about, it is still to inform Yang Mingzhi of the original party. After entering the restaurant and ordering quickly, he talked about it. "Why give money to the gangsters? Why? Because it's very important, Da Ming asks two whys. The sense of the gangster star fruit is not as strong as that of Da Ming, and in the current situation of Chen Wulang, this gang must not be simple.
The restaurant served the food at a very fast pace, and these dishes were very much in line with the appetite of star fruit. There is a delicious curry rice and some seafood, but the taste is a little too spicy, and she quickly drinks the juice as soon as she takes a bite.
Chen Wulang called to inform his family that he and the children were eating out, and then continued to talk about the gang. "Yang Mingzhi, you are fourteen years old this year, and I started running the dock when I was your age. This running dock is running the rivers and lakes, there are everyone on the dock, and there is also the so-called gangster. ”
There are a large number of people in the dark corners around Chiang Mai, Thailand is too prone to coups in the political circles, and now there is high inflation, and low-income people are living hard, so some people are doing illegal things, so-called collecting money. At the meeting, the Chinese businessmen did not talk about it, and Chen Wulang said that the Chinese businessmen were even willing to accept the protection of these gangsters.
"Did they give them money because they were afraid of being attacked? If something happens, we can go to the police. Da Ming retorted.
Chen Wulang scratched his head, although this kid has already been sitting on a huge amount of money and is a genius in the business world, after all, he grew up in the country of Yao Tianshun and has a military background, for example, it is difficult for him to imagine Southeast Asia, which was once very chaotic. "The police here are not the patron saints of the people, they have never asked for more than less, and besides, the gangsters here are very reputable, as long as they give money, they will really do things, and you can even directly recruit them to have more bodyguards." After that, he looked at Chen Lin, who was accompanying him, and continued: "They generally don't do anything to Chinese businessmen, if there is really a problem, I will notify the consulate directly." ”
The gangsters in Chiang Mai have long since perished, and the remaining ** white road walks on both sides. They did ask Chen Wulang for money, after which they also promised to notify anyone if anyone was in trouble with him. Spend money to buy a peace and take out a protector who only recognizes money, why not? But this concept has had a great impact on a Ming dynasty with three views of integrity, but now there is nothing that can be done.
Star fruit has heard a lot, and it is really difficult to be a businessman. If you are not familiar with the place in a foreign country, it is indeed not a bad thing if you make friends with local heroes. "Brother, let's relax, most of those gangsters are low-level people, weren't we like this before? Am I still an orphan? If you think about it in another position, those guys are also doing this to survive, they don't have any skills, but their bodies have existential value. Maybe we can even put them to good use. ”
"Yes, if you can face them one day, I still hope you keep a normal heart. I know you're not willing to compromise with criminals, but that's the way things are here. Those people are not murderous demons, as long as you give more money, they may become loyal eagle dogs. Chen Wulang said meaningfully.
Compared to the gangsters, the food in this small restaurant is very good, and the star fruit looks at the male waiter with a small flat head, his buck teeth are really chic. The culture here is to tip the waiter, star fruit felt in her pocket and took out a dollar, she didn't look at it, this one was twenty dollars, only to see the waiter's heart flutter.
Chen Wulang glanced back, and the waiter was really happy. "Carambola still understands the rules here, yes, yes, you are much more sensible than your brother."
Carambola looked at the somewhat wooden Daming, and said shyly: "My brother is still too young and simple, he may not know the complexity of international trade, as well as the sophistication of foreign people." ”
Just as everyone was about to leave, a few people with strange beasts tattooed on their bare backs walked in, and they talked to the waitress at the bar, and soon a middle-aged man in a shirt ran in.
Chen Wulang turned his head. "Interesting, they actually came. These are the so-called gangsters. ”
Their presence caused many diners to flee, and Chen Wulang told everyone not to move. Carambola asked in a low voice, "Do we want to talk to them now?" ”
"Shhhh Now you can look at how they behave. ”
Star fruit and Da Ming's glasses were wide open, and they saw that they were looking for trouble with the middle-aged man, and they were pulling his collar to ask questions. The Thai dialect is peculiar, and the two of them can't understand it, but they can basically guess it, and it is likely that the cost is unknown.
Suddenly, Chen Wulang stood up, he was going to be in danger alone! Da Ming was dumbfounded, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was unusual, they were actually talking in Chinese. But then he also understood the matter, the store owner had no money to pay the so-called protection fee due to business problems, so the gang asked him to use treasures to top. The so-called treasure is the jade toad treasured by the store, but it is too disproportionate compared to the protection fee.
Chen Wulang proposed that the money should be paid for by him, but the fat man was still persuading Yunyun with good words. It turned out that they knew each other, and the star fruit was dumbfounded, and Uncle Chen was really capable of cooperating with it.
They asked for as much as $10,000, and it was difficult for him to come up with the money for such a small restaurant and the rapid decline in the number of people eating due to inflation. The shopkeeper was grateful to Chen Wulang, but he guided the group to the table of his brother and sister.
"Ah Song, let me introduce you, this is the chairman of our company."
Daming and this fat man looked at each other, only to see that this was also a middle-aged man, he still had a white beard, but in front of him he was more like Chinese.
Song Pan De, he is the second person in the Green Snake Organization, he was strong when he was young and fat when he was old, he is a descendant of the Zheng Chinese businessmen, but he did not inherit the business ability of his ancestors, and he did the business of flies and dogs for many reasons.
"You should stand up when you see me, I'm also your elder anyway." He said in broken Chinese.
"Oh? Is that so? Star fruit looked at him with her big watery eyes, "I heard Uncle Chen say that we pay you a sum of money on a regular basis every month, so we are your employer, so employers can have great majesty." ”
Song Pan found it interesting, and he brought a stool to sit down. Chen Wulang is a Chinese businessman, and he is of Chinese descent, no matter what, the language of his ancestors has not been forgotten. Now that a large number of Chinese businessmen have gone south after the reopening, Song Pan feels that he needs to learn the northern dialect, and now it is not a big problem to talk to the people in northern China.
"I've heard Lao Chen say that you, you are a pair of legendary brothers and sisters, so if I collect your money, I will definitely protect your orchard, no one else has stolen your fruit for so long, I feel that I have traveled my duty."
Da Ming nodded and said, "So your organization is already familiar with us?" To be honest, I'm not happy with your behavior, after all, you forced us to hire you. At this point, I have nothing to say, or this is the situation in Thailand, maybe we can further cooperate with each other. ”
