Chapter 112: The British's Plea for Help
Zhao Zhi's hand obviously suppressed the onlookers, and the few Indians who were lying on the ground and killed the dog didn't know when they ran away, leaving only a few pools of blood on the cement steps at the entrance of Yanjing. The two Indian patrol officers who were knocked out by Zhao Zhi had already fainted, at this time, they had to pretend to be dizzy if they were not dizzy, these Indians who were eating in the patrol room of the concession were also very good at looking at the direction of the wind, and when they saw that Zhao Zhi and Hunter seemed to be the kind of people who couldn't be provoked, they learned to dress and be dizzy and start an ostrich, although it was not very good-looking, but they could keep their surname and job.
"Zhao, let's go, it's okay if such an arrogant guy is gone" Hunter saw the Englishmen get up through the revolving door and seemed to chase them out, so he and Zhao Zhi prepared to leave here. His heart was now full of anger at the British, and he had long since forgotten about any business or anything like that, and he wasn't even interested in talking to such a person, let alone talking about any business.
"Hunter, Hunter, wait" As soon as Hunter came to the door, a blonde man chased out of Yanjing shouted Hunter's name, looking like that, he and Hunter should be very familiar. "Didn't we make an appointment to meet here? Why are you leaving? The blonde man smiled at the expressionless Zhao Zhi, and stopped Hunter, who was about to last time, and tried his best to keep Hunter.
"George, you're just a middleman, there's nothing to do here, we don't do this business, I don't do business with a bunch of clowns" Hunter held on to the car door and looked coldly at the Englishmen standing on the steps of Yanjing. Zhao Zhi didn't have to think about it to know that the well-dressed guys standing on the steps were the Britons who were trafficking in tobacco and soil, and it seemed that the Indian doorman who stopped him just now was not accidental, but someone instructed him, and it was very likely that it was these British.
"Mr. Hunter, please stay, I apologize to you and your friends for what just happened. If you accept my apology, let's move on to business, how about it? Seeing that Hunter was determined to leave, the Englishman standing on the steps could not pretend to be any longer. A tall, thin Englishman walked over, and this person had a standard London accent on his mouth, and he looked like a boy from an upper-class British family. This kind of person is generally arrogant and arrogant, and can apologize to Hunter in public, so that he can be regarded as a person who can bend and stretch.
Hunter turned his head and glanced at Zhao Zhi, and saw that Zhao Zhi had no expression, so he eased the expression on his face, stretched out his hand and shook the man, "I accept your apology, but you humiliated my friend and partner Mr. Zhao Zhi by this means, which I can't tolerate." And this Mr. Zhao Zhi standing next to me is the actual owner of Thunder Defense, and I am just a shareholder, so we Thunder Defense do not plan to take over your business this time, you can find someone else" Hunter easily threw the problem to Zhao Zhi, the British want Thunder to take over this business, then they must first obtain Zhao Zhi's understanding.
"Mr. Zhao Zhi, please accept my apology" The Englishman would look at it, and stretched out his hand to Zhao Zhiyi, "Let's get to know each other, I am Henry Cook, the manager of the Chinese area of Fort London, you can call me Henry, my friends call me that" Henry's face was filled with a sincere smile, at least to other people, but Zhao Zhi could see from the slightly twitching masseter muscles on his cheeks that this guy lowered his posture to himself just to be able to recover the tobacco he had been robbed.
"Zhao Zhi" and Henry shook it gently, Zhao Zhi just broke out two words from his mouth with some indifference, this guy in front of him, he didn't want to be a deep friend and didn't want to offend. In the world of mercenaries, there is only business, and all trust is built on tasks and business, and today's enemies may become partners tomorrow, so Zhao Zhi doesn't want to use what he just did to make this kid look ugly, everything is for business.
Seeing Zhao Zhi's eyes, the comprehending Hunter slowed down his tone to Henry, "If you want to talk about business, you can." It's just that I don't like it here, let's change places, two people on each side, you can bring one person" Hunter, who was in the car, poked his head out of the window and gestured to Henry, signaling for his car to follow his car. The place chosen by Hunter is a café, which is not very far from Yanjing, but it is much quieter than Yanjing, which is more suitable for Hunter to talk about business.
After everyone sat down, Henry did not introduce the people he brought to Hunter and Zhao Zhi, obviously Henry can make the decision on his own in this matter, and the guy who came with him was just a follower, at most a bodyguard or something. "The specific location of the accident, the specific time when the goods were robbed, the number of goods, and the number of bandits" Since it was business, Zhao Zhi didn't hesitate and asked directly.
Obviously, Henry was a little unaccustomed to Zhao Zhi's inquiry, and he didn't know which one to answer first for a while, but the attendant he brought was a little dissatisfied and stared at Zhao Zhi endlessly, and he wanted to eat Zhao Zhi in one bite. Henry thought for a while in his heart, and then organized the language before answering Zhao Zhi's question, "The goods were robbed a month ago, I can't tell you the specific place, the number is about 10,000 pounds, at the time of the incident, I was not there with the goods, so I don't know the number of bandits."
After listening to Henry's answer, Zhao Zhi couldn't help frowning, the questions he asked just now were meaningful. Only by knowing the location of the incident can Zhao Zhi send spies to collect intelligence in advance, and the tobacco is a hard commodity, and the bandits generally do not store the looted tobacco and soil in their hands for too long. If the incident had exceeded a certain amount of time, they would have already gone to another place to shoot, and at that time, even if Zhao Zhi led people to destroy the bandits' cottage, they would not be able to find anything. As for asking about the quantity of goods, it was purely Zhao Zhi who wanted to know how much benefit he could get from this task after the completion of this mission.
"The bandits let it go, they won't sell our goods, they don't want ransom, they just want weapons and bullets, and they give a three-month period. Within three months, we must get a batch of German-style Mauser rifles and a matching quantity of ammunition for this gang of bandits, otherwise they will sell this batch of goods to others," Henry had to tell Zhao Zhi and Hunter the truth. Weapons are not a problem, but such a large batch of firearms have to be transported to Yungui to trade, Henry really can't guarantee safety, the price offered by Hunter is only 30% of the goods, which is much cheaper than the guns worth two-thirds of the goods of the bandits, which is also the main reason why Henry found Hunter.
"Set off in three days, your people will lead the way, I need four trucks" Staring at Henry for a while, Zhao Zhi dropped his words and left with Hunter. The conditions have been opened, and it is the other party's business whether to accept it or not, anyway, he also knows the name of Wild Bear Ridge, which is really not good, so Zhao Zhi plans to snatch all the goods back by himself.
