Chapter 75: Black Market Trading
Outside the Nine Palaces is a street several hundred meters long, and there are more than 20 shops on the street, including restaurants, inns, pharmacies, rice shops, silk shops, pawnshops, and all walks of life.
Although these shops have different names and very different industries, they all have in common in that they are all in the black market.
People who often come to the black market know that although they are all black market businesses, they still have their own expertise.
It is a group of people who do gold jewelry and dollar trading, and another group of people who do tobacco and salt business, not that they don't do other businesses, but they specialize in technology, and they are more proficient and professional in this business.
In the Black Market of the Nine Palaces, the most professional in dealing in weapons and ammunition is Qu Mazi. Everyone only knows his name as Qu Mazi, no one knows his name, and no one cares about his name, just like he never asks the name of the person who comes to trade with him.
"You're here." Qu Mazi was sitting in a tavern on the side of the street, talking to the tavern owner, when he looked up and saw Gao Fei pushing the door in.
Gao Fei: "It's coming." ”
Qu Mazi is about forty years old, and he looks like a businessman's philistine appearance when he looks at his eyebrows, and there are only a few pockmarks on his face, so he was given a nickname that seems to be full of pockmarks.
Qu Mazi smiled and said to the tavern owner: "I have to borrow your treasure land!" ”
"Please." The tavern owner is very attentive, because every time Qu Mazi uses his place to trade business, it will not be used in vain, sometimes a few reserve coupons, when encountering a big business, a piece of the ocean is also given.
Qu Mazi led Gao Fei into a private room, and the tavern owner immediately made a pot of tea and sent it in, and after sitting down, Qu Mazi: "Brother, what do you need this time?" ”
Gao Fei said straight to the point: "45 bullets, 200 rounds." ”
Qu Mazi glanced at Gao Fei with a little surprise, and then said: "Brother, the amount you want is a bit large, now I can only make up a hundred rounds for you, and I will give you the rest in a few days." ”
Gao Fei: "Two hundred rounds is too much?" I believe that if I go out now and go around the Nine Palaces, it won't take me more than an hour, not to mention two hundred rounds, but three hundred rounds. ”
Qu Mazi wanted to monopolize this business, how could he let this piece of fat fall into someone else's bowl, he thought for a while, and said: "Brother, generally come to me to buy bullets, at most twenty or thirty rounds, who can prepare so many bullets in their hands, the amount you want is enough to fight a blocking battle...... In this way, you are also a regular customer, two hundred rounds of ammunition, I will only charge you one hundred and ninety! ”
In fact, Gao Fei just said casually, he didn't go door-to-door to ask, he has been trading here in Qu Mazi all the time, and there has never been a mistake, and then he needs to be more vigilant to trade with a living person.
Gao Fei: "Okay, a hundred bullets, I'll want it now." The remaining 100 rounds of ammunition, I'll pick it up in a few days. ”
Qu Mazi stood up: "Okay, let's just say it, a hundred bullets, I'll send them to you immediately, you wait a while." ”
As he spoke, Qu Mazi turned around and opened the door and walked out, walking towards the back of the Nine Palaces.
Gao Fei watched Qu Mazi walk away, walked out of the tavern himself, found an intersection where he could see the tavern and extend in all directions, squatted and pretended to watch two old men on the street playing chess.
About an hour later, Qu Mazi hurried back with a rectangular cloth bag in his hand. Gao Fei watched him enter the tavern, and waited for more than ten minutes, but he didn't see anything unusual. Then he walked into the tavern.
"Brother, you're still so elusive." Qu Mazi was waiting in the private room, and when he saw Gao Fei walking in, he immediately handed Gao Fei the rectangular cloth bag.
Gao Fei didn't even look at it, took out a letter of ocean and handed it to Qu Mazi: "This is the money for this hundred rounds of ammunition, when I come to get the remaining hundred rounds of ammunition in a few days, I will still give you a hundred oceans, a lot of money!" ”
Gao Fei knows very well in his heart that these businessmen are profit-seekers, if you take advantage of him, he will always find a way to make up for you, it is better to be generous and let him make money in person.
Qu Mazi heard Gao Fei say this, and couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and admire: "Brother, it's really refreshing, righteous enough!" Don't worry, as long as you need something, just come to me, don't say it's bullets, even if you want a submachine gun, I can get it for you. ”
Gao Fei was a little surprised: "There are submachine guns too?" ”
Qu Mazi saw that Gao Fei was interested, he also came to his senses, lowered his voice and said, "Brother, do you really want it?" I won't lie to you, if you really want it, I still really have it, the American Thompson submachine gun, eighty percent new, will cost you two thousand oceans! What do you think? Cheap enough! ”
Gao Fei smiled and said, "It's really not expensive, but I don't need it for the time being, I'll come back to you when I need it!" ”
Qu Mazi: "Brother, if you are righteous and angry, I will talk to you about righteousness, when you come, I will definitely give you the lowest price!" ”
Leaving the Nine Palaces Black Market, Gao Fei took a rickshaw and returned to Dafeng Yarn Factory after going around a few times.
Back in the room, Gao Fei opened the rectangular cloth bag, and there were boxes of yellow bullets stacked inside, and under the light of the lamp, he looked bright and dazzling.
Yin Ping smiled and said, "With so many bullets, I think even if No. 76 is extinguished, it will be enough." ”
Gao Fei: "You don't need to kill No. 76, as long as you can find a suitcase." ”
Yin Ping was stunned: "What kind of suitcase are you looking for?" ”
Gao Fei explained: "The target of this mission is Wang Yuanji, the head of the anti-smuggling section of the mail boat terminal, and at the same time, we need to find a suitcase with a butterfly mark, which contains some jewelry and clothes. ”
Zhang Maosen: "Wang Yuanji, the head of the anti-smuggling section of a small wharf, that is, the seizure of some prohibited items, is at best a little traitor, and he can also attract the attention of Chongqing?" ”
Gao Fei analyzed: "It may be that there are important materials related to us in the items he seized. ”
Zhang Maosen and Yin Ping both felt that what Gao Fei said was very reasonable, otherwise there would really be no more reasonable explanation, why did the above use the hoe team to assassinate a small anti-smuggling section chief.
Gao Fei: "We will act tomorrow, I estimate that this is our last task before the Spring Festival, and after completing this task, we can also take a rest." ”
Yin Ping looked at Zhang Maosen: "Lao Zhang, your legs and feet are definitely not working, this time I will go with the captain." ”
Zhang Maosen was also anxious, seeing the tasks of the hoe team one after another, but he couldn't help with his dry eyes.
Gao Fei saw Zhang Maosen's thoughts, and comforted: "The level of this anti-smuggling section chief is not enough, and there are no guards, Yin Ping and I are enough, you are responsible for recuperating your injuries, and when you heal your injuries, you still have nothing to do?" ”
Yin Ping also teased Zhang Maosen: "Lao Zhang, otherwise, when your injuries are healed, all the actions will be done by you alone, and the captain and I will be responsible for giving you the wind, what do you think!" ”
Zhang Maosen also smiled: "As long as the captain agrees, I have no opinion." ”
