Chapter Sixty-Eight: Casting a Long Line to Catch Big Fish
Because the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department acted decisively and immediately dispatched several mobile units, it attacked the Black Dragon Society, causing Colonel Lyon heavy losses.
Before dawn, there were only a few more than a hundred mercenaries who had withdrawn.
For Colonel Lyon, this was a good thing.
Except for the die-hard ones who were killed by the mobile forces in the melee, the others were all mercenaries that Lyon paid for. These guys would have been a nuisance, and if they were alive, Colonel Lyon would have to pay a monthly commission. Although African mercenaries are not worth much, it is very good to get a thousand dollars, but multiplied by five hundred, it is not a small amount of money. This is especially true for the cash-strapped Colonel Lyon.
If it weren't for the $2.5 million from Tomosuke Uchida in time, the group of mercenaries would have rebelled a long time ago.
More than 300 people died, which means that more than $300,000 less can be spent next month.
What's more, without these people, the usual expenses will be greatly reduced, and you can find a more suitable hiding place, so you don't have to worry about too many people.
Because his whereabouts were revealed, Colonel Lyon did not return to the "Hao" freighter, but followed the grayback jackal to a small town north of Kasumigaura in Ibaraki Prefecture, where he settled in a warehouse that had long been abandoned.
In the morning, the gray-backed jackal goes out to buy food.
By the time he rushed back, Colonel Lyon had already buried more than a dozen seriously wounded men. How did they die, the gray-backed jackal didn't ask much, and Leon wouldn't take them to the hospital anyway, and wouldn't spend money on medicines for them. In Leon's eyes, it doesn't make much sense for his incapacitated men to live.
A night of fierce fighting, huge losses, and a lot of gains.
Although the Uchida family is nothing in Yueben, in the eyes of Leon, they are definitely wealthy nobles.
Before the mobile force arrived, Colonel Lyon's men opened the Uchida family's safe and obtained hundreds of thousands of dollars and a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, adding up to $800,000, if not a million. Together with the valuables recovered from the corpses, there must have been more than a million dollars.
Leon wanted to cash in immediately, but the grayback jackal didn't agree, thinking it was too risky.
After doing it a few times, and getting a few million dollars with the help of the Grayback Jackal, Colonel Lyon was so convinced of him that he did not object to his proposal and decided to talk about it later.
"What now?" Leon ate a few cookies and lit a cigarette.
After more than ten years of training on the African battlefield, this guy can be energetic even if he doesn't eat for a few days.
"The police came too quickly, they must have been prepared." The gray-backed jackal has long been hungry, and with injuries on its body, it needs to replenish its energy urgently. "Observe for a few days to understand the situation before deciding on the next move. The police must have been manhunting us, and I went to find a few more hiding places, and I had to change places every day. ”
"If you drag it down, you will definitely be found by the police, we ......"
The subordinate had barely said half a sentence when Leon glared at him and quickly shut up.
"It won't drag on for too long, just two or three days, and if there is no follow-up, we will leave the book."
Leon nodded and said, "You have to find out the situation as soon as possible and dispose of the secret agreement." No matter who it is, as long as they are willing to pay, we will get rid of it quickly. ”
The gray-backed jackal nodded, not saying much.
After dark, the Grayback Jackal left its hiding place to find out the news and find a new hiding place.
Need to listen to the news?
After walking away, the gray-backed jackal called Dianbin and asked about his next move.
At this time, Liu Wei was at Dian Bin's place, and asked Dian Bin to try to contact the gray-backed jackal.
"He'll be right here." Dian Bin put down the phone and said, "Have you thought about it?" Take him to Nagasaki and maybe someone else will recognize him. ”
"Who knows him?" Liu Wei smiled and said, "Uncle Jackal has been trained in espionage, right?" ”
"Needless to say? A full set of espionage training, just as much. Dian Bin picked up his cigarette and said, "After leaving K1, he stayed in the training base for five years, learning various espionage skills, and then was sent to Yuben. For more than a decade, he stayed in Yuben and was never exposed. ”
"So, he should know a little bit about finance, right?"
"Financial literacy?" Dian Bin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Liu Wei was doing.
"You wait and tell him that he is a friend of Lao Li and has come to assist us. Then I took him to Yasutaro and asked him to mention helping the Brotherhood to launder money. ”
"How to launder money?" Dian Bin lit a cigarette.
"Through the second ancestor of the Li family, it was transferred through the Li family's fund, and then transferred back to the capital."
"This must be told to Lao Li."
"That's your business, and there's only one way to get more than $10 billion in a short period of time."
Dian Bin sighed and said, "Even if we want to do it, it is impossible to get more than 10 billion US dollars in such a short period of time. ”
"Don't have too much, let's get more than a billion to save face first, and let Iwasaki Eiichi know that we have a close relationship with the Li family."
"Slap a swollen face and become fat?"
Liu Wei smiled and said, "We're going to Nagasaki tomorrow, so you have to hurry up and make arrangements, let Lao Li get the money, and talk about the rest later." ”
"I'll contact Lao Li immediately, hoping that he can get rid of the old man of the Li family."
Li Tingxuan had already arrived in Hong Kong, and after visiting the old man of the Li family, he played golf with Li Zhenxing, that is, the boss of the Li family, for a few days.
When Dian Bin called, Li Tingxuan was playing ball with Li Zhenxing.
Compared with the three younger brothers, Li Zhenxing is much more stable.
Because the old man of the Li family is old and in poor health, he hasn't asked about business for several years, and Li Zhenxing has been taking care of it on his behalf.
Li Zhenye is doing good things outside, Li Zhenxing knows very well.
Li Zhenxing later learned that the family fund managed by Li Zhenye had a deficit of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars on the books and owed a lot of debts. It's easy to say that Li Zhenye is hidden by Li Tingxuan, and those creditors on the road don't dare to trouble the Li family. It's just that the money that is missing on the books still has to be made up.
If it weren't for Li Tingxuan coming forward to intercede, and the old man couldn't bear it, Li Zhenxing would have driven this uncompetitive younger brother out of the house a long time ago.
Li Zhenxing can not give face to his younger brother, but he can't help but give Li Tingxuan face.
Li Zhenxing knew very well what the relationship between the head of the mainland's intelligence department and the old man was, and what his origins were. If it weren't for Li Tingxuan's secret help, there would be no current Li family.
"Brother Li, I've thought about what you said." Li Zhenxing is also fifty years old, so he has a relationship with Li Tingxuan. "Money is a trivial matter, but when it comes to the family business, I really can't call the shots. You also know that the things that the second brother made are already difficult for us to explain, and if anything goes wrong, the old man can't solve it. ”
Li Tingxuan swung a shot indiscriminately, how could he have the heart to play.
"I know your troubles, too." Li Tingxuan put away the club and handed a 100 Hong Kong dollar to Li Zhenxing. "I've lost this game, next time I go to the mainland, I'll invite you to play."
Li Zhenxing smiled and put away the banknotes. "That's all for today, let's go have a drink."
Hitched a ride in the battery car and came to the club's café, Li Zhenxing paid very generously and asked for two cups of green tea.
"I have carefully considered this matter, and it will not have a negative impact on the Li family." After Li Tingxuan sat down, he lit a cigarette, "If you do it well, maybe you can help the Li family march into the capital." ”
"Marching into the book?" Li Zhenxing became interested.
"I can't say exactly what happened, after all, I wasn't directly involved."
Li Zhenxing smiled, indicating that he understood what Li Tingxuan meant.
It's not that he doesn't know, but he can't say, after all, intelligence work has very strict confidentiality requirements.
"There is only one thing that can be guaranteed, and when it is done, we will be able to know the economic development of the capital well, and even obtain the development plan of the main consortium of the capital."
Li Zhenxing was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "You didn't lie to me? ”
As a businessman, Li Zhenxing certainly knew the meaning of Li Tingxuan's words. Doing business is all about information, and the value of an important piece of information cannot be measured by money.
For example, a few years ago, the Li family got the news that the situation in Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya and other oil-producing countries was turbulent, and it was very likely that a civil war would break out.
At that time, it was none other than Li Tingxuan who provided this news.
Li Tingxuan smiled and said, "I can't say specifically, if Li Gongzi believes me, it shouldn't be too much to buy an inside piece of information with a billion dollars, right?" This is a long-line fishing business for big fish, and Li Gongzi is reluctant to even make a small amount of money as bait, so he can't catch big fish. ”
"Billion-dollar ......" Li Zhenxing hesitated.
It's not a small amount of money for anyone.
Li Tingxuan didn't speak again, he was too anxious, but there was no benefit.
"Brother Li's words, I never doubted it." Li Zhenxing let out a long sigh and said, "When do you want this money?" ”
"Right now, it's better to do it today, and transfer it to my designated account early tomorrow morning."
"No problem, just come up with so much money, you definitely need a reason."
"It should be no problem for the Chamber of Commerce to mortgage its fixed assets in Hong Kong, right?"
Li Zhenxing was stunned for a moment and said, "What assets are those assets of this society? ”
Li Tingxuan nodded and said: "It is mainly fixed assets, if you still need to borrow from the Li Fund, you will use other industries as collateral in the future, or help transfer funds in the form of transfer." ”
"Money laundering?" Li Zhenxing suddenly understood.
"This is an intelligence operation led by us, and you just cooperate, so you won't get into trouble."
At this time, Li Zhenxing had nothing to say. Cooperate with the intelligence department's actions, not to mention that the SAR political axe has no right to intervene, and if you know it, you can't do anything with the Li family.
After Li Zhenxing agreed, Li Tingxuan said: "How about it, play two more strokes, this time for a thousand yuan and one stroke." ”
"Brother Li, you want your little brother to bleed!"
Li Zhenxing knows very well that Li Tingxuan is not unable to play, but he is not in the mood. His ball skills will not be much worse than Tiger Wuzi. A few years ago, in a fight with Li Tingxuan in the mainland, Li Zhenxing lost thousands of yuan. However, during dinner, he ate all the losses back, and made Li Tingxuan lose a lot.
When the two re-enter the court, the Greyback Jackal arrives at the Brotherhood's lair.
The guy was hiding so deep that the Brotherhood's bodyguards didn't recognize him.
After he saw Dian Bin and understood the situation, Liu Wei rushed over and took him to Kang Taro's room.
