Chapter 118: Everything is Difficult at the Beginning (Plus Update)
Under the leadership of the lobby manager, the waiter put the freshly roasted veal steak in front of Wang Dong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the side, the musician had put the violin on his shoulder.
After removing the champagne from the ice bucket, the lobby manager first showed the inscription on the bottle before removing the cork and pouring a glass for each of them.
"Is this necessary?" Wang Dong raised his glass.
It's a bottle of French Bordeaux champagne, 12 years old, and it's certainly not cheap, or a thousand pounds to say the least.
Wang Dong is not reluctant to pay for it, but the flight will take off in two hours.
"It's a celebration." Luo Qing picked up the wine glass and touched it with Wang Dong's wine glass.
"Celebrate what?" Wang Dong took a sip.
It tastes good, it's genuine for sure.
"Celebrate that you're all right."
"Poof—"
Hearing this, Wang Dong squirted out the champagne that had not yet been swallowed.
Luo Qing laughed immediately.
Next to him, the lobby manager looked at Wang Dong in surprise.
Wang Dong waved his hand, picked up a napkin and wiped it on his mouth a few times.
These words came out of Luo Qing's mouth, and the feeling was that Wang Dong's fertility was wrong, so he went for an examination, and the result was normal.
"What, isn't it worth celebrating?"
"I said, can you change the subject?" Wang Dong regretted it, he knew that Luo Qing would make fun of this, and he wouldn't go for a physical examination if he was killed.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Before Wang Dong could speak, his mobile phone rang.
Wang Dong was slightly stunned and walked away from the musicians who were playing.
Luo Qing was very unhappy, but he didn't stop Wang Dong from answering the phone.
"Really...... Got it...... Okay, you guys get ready first......" Wang Dong glanced at his watch before he said, "You can return before dawn...... Okay, when the time comes. ”
"Serena?" When Wang Dong hung up the phone, Luo Qing asked.
"Mura."
Luo Qing sighed and said, "It seems that I have to refund the ticket." ”
"Dr. Zhang has said that we still have a long life, right?"
Luo Qing smiled reluctantly, if Serena called, she would not let Wang Dong go back if she said anything.
It's just that the call came from Musharraf, and there must be something very important.
Fifteen minutes later, the two left the French restaurant.
Four months ago, that is, after returning to Scotland, Wang Dong spent a lot of time on Serena, although Luo Qing did not embarrass Serena, but he felt very uncomfortable.
One setback, what's the big deal?
If you can't afford to lose, how can you win?
After a period of depression, Serena regained her strength.
Actually, Luo Qing knows very well that if she is replaced, she will also be depressed for a while.
Anyway, what happened in Miami, that is, being teased by Strachey, was just too hard for Serena.
If it weren't for Wang Dong, she would probably quit.
Driving out of the city and onto the highway to Edinburgh, Luo Qingcai called the airline and refunded two tickets.
"What's going on?" After putting away his phone, Luo Qing asked.
"At the time of the suicide terrorist attack on the King Fahd military city, dozens of soldiers were killed, and Salman was inspecting the military city at the time of the incident."
"What does it have to do with us?"
"Mulla said it was an opportunity."
Luo Qing's brows jumped a few times, obviously not understanding.
"The specific situation, Mura didn't say, and it was not convenient to be on the phone. It's just that he doesn't jump to conclusions, and if he says it's an opportunity, it's definitely right. ”
Luo Qing nodded, indicating that he understood what Wang Dong meant.
In this team, the one who is most trusted by Luo Qing is Musharraf.
"If it's true as Mura said, we'll be able to make our first deal soon."
"Whether it's or not, I'm not sure." Luo Qing pursed his mouth.
She wasn't doubting what Musharraf was saying, but she felt that she shouldn't be happy too soon.
"Don't forget, Mura is a Pakistani intelligence agent who has worked in the special forces before, and Pakistan has an extraordinary relationship with Saudi Arabia."
"What does our arms trafficking have to do with terrorist attacks?"
"In the past few years, haven't arms companies from all over the world taken advantage of the war in Yemen to sell arms to local tyrants in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf regions?"
"Those arms giants sell high-end goods, and the local tyrants are not bad for money, and they can only afford high-end goods."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, you have to take it one step at a time, right?"
Luo Qing was a little speechless, but he didn't refute Wang Dong's opinion.
"You rest for a few hours, and then in the middle of the night, you come to drive."
"Okay, call me then."
Waiting for Luo Qing to put the flat seat, Wang Dong turned on the stereo.
Actually, Wang Dong is not bad for money.
At Strach, Wang Dong not only obtained a lot of information, but also several million dollars in cash and a total of 200 million US dollars in bearer bonds.
It's just that monetization is more troublesome.
Although bearer bonds cannot be traced, but taking out 200 million bonds to cash out is tantamount to setting himself on fire, and Wang Dong will not do such a stupid thing.
At Gao Jun's suggestion, Mr. Wang deposited the bonds in escrow with a private bank in the Cayman Islands.
It must be admitted that Gao Jun is not only good at calculation, but also has a talent for finance.
There is a custody fee to be paid, but it can be more convenient to cash out in the future, but it is only done in batches, and it is necessary to work on the accounts.
To put it simply, it is to treat the funds obtained from the realization as the company's profits, so as to become legal income.
In this way, it is necessary to make the company profitable, at least a few transactions need to be made.
Obviously, after Strache's end, the company founded by Serena was no longer usable.
To this end, Wang Dong asked Serena to re-register a company, named D&F, with a registered capital of five million US dollars obtained from Strachey.
The name was taken by Serena, i.e. Defense and Fight.
To others, it's more like a shorthand for Death and Fire.
Wang Dong didn't care much, it was just a name.
Besides, the main purpose of setting up this company is to find something for Serena to do, so that she can come out of the shadow of frustration as soon as possible.
It's just that things got out of hand.
After the establishment of the company, Zhao Yu proposed that the initial design, production and sales of firearms should be the mainstay, not only related to his personal ability, but also related to the scale of the company.
Subsequently, Musharraf proposed the creation of a private security company to promote D&F's products.
Wang Dong did not object, and all agreed.
Zhao Yu was idle all day, Musharraf is not the kind of person who can be idle, they want to do things, so let them do it.
Of course, Wang Dong is not the kind of person who is idle.
Over the past few months, D&F has been on a normal track, but it has not received a single order so far, and the sales of several modified firearms that have been brought to the market are also mediocre.
Musharraf's private security company has only just started, and he counts it as himself, with more than 20 people.
Anyway, there's a start, and it's not too bad.
As the saying goes, a good start is half the battle.
