Chapter 277: Mercenaries
Liu Tao received Wei Hong's full support for this auction, so he naturally had nothing to fear. Liu Tao knew that since the sale of the two handsome flags of Wei Huo's two families, the two families have been very low-key and have no intersection with Liu Tao, and even the auctions held by Liu Tao after them rarely go out, if necessary, most of them are bidding by phone, or looking for assistants to come over to bid. It's just that this time Liu Tao didn't expect that after he announced that he would auction cultural relics from Europe and other countries, the Wei family rushed over as soon as possible.
Liu Tao sent Wei Hong away here, and he also thought about it for a long time, whether the cooperation with the Wei family was worth it this time, but the answer he got in the end was that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. First of all, join forces with the Wei family, then naturally there will be more help, although no one has really done anything to themselves now, it is because they can't do the business they are doing now, once they do it, or there is a conflict of interest, then the conflict between the two sides will come back. That's when the real conflict of interest comes in.
"How's it going in Japan? Is the show still smooth? ”
"It's good, it's just that I'm not used to the diet." Shi Yu sweetly called Liu Tao on the phone: "Don't let your people take care of me too much, the people of the whole dance troupe feel a little alienated from other people because of your people." Are you calling your people back to me? ”
"I also plan that you are not used to the food there and want your aunt to take care of you, why don't you want to enjoy the privilege now?"
"How can the privilege be so easy to enjoy, my mother is so old, you are embarrassed to let my mother come over if you don't come by yourself." Shi Yu's coquettish business on the phone made Liu Tao tremble suddenly. is completely different from Zhang Qian, Shiyu is coquettish is definitely her killer feature, as long as she sacrifices it, she will be invincible, no matter what it is.
"I want to go too, you should also be back to I've been busy lately, I'll go see you when I'm done, you know I love watching you dance."
"Okay, there's another show on the fifteenth of next month, or you can come over. That's right. I noticed that there have been more than a dozen people in black around the dance troupe for the past few days. Isn't it your person? If it weren't for your people, help me look into it. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Liu Tao frowned when he heard Shiyu's words, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, knowing that he was supporting Shinoda in Japan, and there were not a few people in the Yamaguchi Group who were stronger than Shinoda forces. And these people all know that behind Shinoda stands Liu Tao. And it's not a secret that Shiyu is Liu Tao's person.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of that. If you're too tired, rest well, trust me. Even if you don't dance well, there is someone who will always know how to appreciate it here. Liu Tao sweetly coaxed Shiyu, and the two hung up the phone after lingering for a while, and Liu Tao directly dialed Shinoda's private phone.
"I will let Tanaka investigate, Mr. Liu, you put a hundred hearts, I will handle this matter well, and I will definitely not let the second lady have any damage." After listening to Liu Tao's words, Shinoda hurriedly assured, Shinoda put down the phone, looked at Tanaka standing beside him and said, "You go and bring people to check for me, and you must check the identities of those people for me." Also, Yamashita, how did you talk about the trade with Mitsui about grain? Remember, act fast, I don't want to be next month, Mitsui imports grain or cooperate with Thai companies. ”
"Young master, don't worry, it's basically over. This is a big deal, if we do it, Mitsui will become our ally, and then our strength will be even higher, and if the Ashishita and Akagi groups want to do something against us, they will have to consider their own losses. In addition, there are a few people on the council's side who are willing to cooperate with us, and other conveniences are basically normal. ”
"Well, move fast." Shinoda glanced at the actresses who were performing hard in the room, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Arrange him to my room tonight, and besides, let these two male actors retire, I don't want to see them anymore." ”
"Got it, young master."
Liu Tao thought about it, he couldn't put the safety of Shiyu in the hands of others, after all, it was better for others to use it than for himself. Liu Tao found the knife and the ghost thunder, and asked the two of them to fly to Japan to secretly protect Shiyu's safety, and there was a female bodyguard who had just been recruited to go with her, and she was Shiyu's personal guard during this time. As soon as Liu Tao walked out of the door, Ye Fei walked in and whispered in Liu Tao's ear.
Liu Tao's face tightened, and asked Ye Fei to bring people in, Ye Fei greeted a European man in black at the door and walked in. The man sat opposite Liu Tao, took out an envelope he was carrying and put it in front of Liu Tao, Liu Tao opened the envelope, and saw that there were some messy symbols written on it. After reading the letter, Liu Tao handed it to Ye Fei, this is the intelligence code agreed by Liu Tao and Zhao Shanhe, and it was written by someone from the Security Bureau, and Liu Tao directly asked Ye Fei to translate.
"Sit, you said you were Zhao Shanhe's classmate at the Hunter School, and now you are retired and working as a mercenary?" Liu Tao looked at another letter, which was written on the personal information of this middle-aged man named James in front of him, with a brilliant resume, at least more actual combat experience than Ye Fei under Liu Tao.
"Yes, Mr. Liu, I think that giving Mr. Liu a job opportunity is faster than the money earned as a mercenary, and it is very safe, at least the money I earn by doing this can be spent for the rest of my life, and I still have my life to enjoy, at least I don't have to tell me when I will hang up like now."
"That's a good point, I like real people like you." Liu Tao looked at James in front of him with a smile, Zhao Shanhe never praised a person lightly, at least in Ye Fei's body, Zhao Shanhe rarely praised him, but in the letter, Zhao Shanhe did not hesitate to praise the James in front of him, and said that this James was even more powerful and ruthless than himself.
"Work for me, don't ask much, loyalty is the most important, but I don't know what you can prove your loyalty."
"It depends on what the boss needs, as long as the boss needs, I think I can do it for the boss, you know, boss, I have been active abroad for a long time, activities in major station areas, I want to do something very simple, and I will never cause trouble to the boss." James also did not hide his inner thoughts, he had learned from Zhao Shanhe what habits this young rich man had, what he liked, what he didn't like, and what habits he had in doing things, and he inquired clearly.
"Oh, so you know what I'm going to do?"
"I don't know, but I know that it's much more convenient for me to do things outside than in the boss at home, and more importantly, the boss, you don't have to worry, you need to pay legal responsibility." James continued to encourage Liu Tao and said: "Boss, there are twenty-five people under my command, all of whom are experienced in a hundred battles. ”
"Very good, look at Boss Zhao's face, I will give you a three-month probationary period, after the three-month probationary period, you can take my money and enjoy your life with peace of mind." Liu Tao smiled and said to James: "Now I'm going to let you do everything in this article, you can see if there are any problems." ”
"Boss, I think you've found the wrong person." James put down the text in his hand, looked at Liu Tao with a solemn face and said: "Boss, I'm here to do big things, this little thing is not challenging for me, and I won't do anything for the boss that doesn't reflect my value." ”
Liu Tao took back the text in his hand, walked to the cabinet, opened it, searched for a while, found a red text clip, put it on the table, handed it to James, and motioned James to open the text and take a look. James opened the text, and sure enough, he saw that the face of the man on the table was much better, he took out the text and looked at it carefully, and after about twenty minutes, he put down the text in his hand and rubbed his temples a few times.
"Boss, I want 20 million, dollars."
"No problem, as long as this matter is done, you will be given another 10 million bonus." Liu Tao smiled James smiled, James nodded, and walked out with the text in his hand.
Ye Fei knocked on the door and walked in, placing the translated letter in front of Liu Tao. Liu Tao picked up the letter on the table and read it, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart, in order to cover up this secret during this time, he had already paid more than 600 million US dollars to this mysterious account, Zhao Shanhe is now a little eyebrows, but it will take a while to find out, but the answer is that the other party is not in China.
Liu Tao burned all the letter paper and rubbed his sore head, it would be easy for the other party to be in China, and now that Zhao Shanhe has found a group of people like James for himself, things abroad will be much easier to handle. Liu Tao called Zhao Shanhe and asked him to continue to investigate, of course, if there is anything needed, he can come back at any time.
"You go and send James's information to Xia Mingyu, sue him, one favor for another." Liu Tao handed the information to Ye Fei and asked Xia Mingyu to turn out James's ancestors eight times, of course, the most important thing is to find out whether this James is a spy abroad. Liu Tao will never believe a person at first sight, if James can really believe it, then it will be much easier for him to do things in the future.
"Boss, the manager of Christie's has been in Pearl City for four days, and he has come to make an appointment several times, do we want to meet him?" Xi Yunsong walked in and said to Liu Tao, who was dozing off.
"What's the other party's attitude?"
"The attitude of the other party is very firm, he said that he can return the artifacts to us, but what we have to do is also cancel this auction and return their artifacts to them." Xi Yunsong looked at Liu Tao with a smile on his face, this joke is so ridiculous, the other party came to the door and wanted to exchange cultural relics, this joke is now sarcastic in Xi Yunsong's eyes, a fan of Chiguoguo.
"Let them stay, find a reason to frame them casually, Qianqian is going to have a pregnancy test tomorrow, and I will accompany her."
"I see, boss." (To be continued......)
