Chapter 502: Temptation
Cassel was instructed, put down his glass, walked out the door, and shouted to the House of Representatives, who were about to turn into fists and kicks in the chamber, "Gentlemen, the President wants you to maintain the solemnity and order that this hall of parliament should be. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Regarding government affairs, let's discuss and vote on government affairs when we hold a formal meeting. In addition, one should exercise due care of one's speech and manners, and be a gentleman, for this is, after all, the seat of parliament. ā
Now that the respected speaker has spoken, and the two sides are arguing and have already broken their morale, they might as well fight again another day. As the councillors scattered, Caso glanced at Congressman Benito Gomez, who understood and followed Cassel into the Speaker's office and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Sir. ā
Filitz Delgado smiled kindly and motioned for him to bring another set of porcelain. "Do we need to be so polite to each other? Benito, you're out of sight, come, try the cocoa powder I just made. It is said to be imported from the southern islands, and the taste is particularly mellow. ā
Gomez looked left and right at the other two councillors and asked, "Everyone, is there something to discuss?" ā
Cassel snorted: "It's also nonsense, and there's nothing serious to do now." If the Qiyao Stone Mine is closed, this business that could still make a little difference will not be able to be done, and it is boring in every way. ā
Knowing that Cassel was deeply involved in the gem business, Gomez quickly brushed it off: "Don't listen to Chim's nonsense, I don't want the gem mine to be closed." ā
Gracia, another member of parliament, raised a hand and shook it, signaling not to bring up the disappointing subject again. "We don't want to discuss the gem business today, I heard that you have a good relationship in the 19th Division, do you have a better way, recommend it to me."
As soon as he heard this, Ge Mez suddenly relaxed, and said proudly: "It's a little related, my younger brother is an official in it, what's the matter, do any juniors want to enter the army?" ā
Gracia shook his hand: "It's not this, you know that my hometown is a wheat producer, this year's wheat is cheap, and my relatives in my hometown are bothering me to help find a market, I contacted a businessman two days ago, but they want me to send it outside the Eagle Pass, and they are willing to buy it, for this, I have a headache." ā
When Councillor Gomez heard that this was such a trivial matter, he said disapprovingly: "It's not worth walking around for something as cheap as wheat, and the money from selling wheat is not enough to invite the officials inside to have a meal!" ā
Gracia lowered his voice and said, "Not necessarily, brother, a little more luck, isn't there enough money for this treat?" ā
As soon as Gomez heard this, he suddenly thought that the speaker was also present, and suddenly came to his senses: "So you are thinking about smuggling!" That's too risky! ā
"Oh, what are the main risks?" Delgado kindly picked up the conversation.
Although the voice was kind and peaceful, Gomez suddenly felt the coercion of the speaker, and he stammered: "The grain business is not very profitable, and it is hard to do. Over there in the Northland, **, there are a lot of mercenaries over there, even if the relationship here is opened, what if it is transported over and robbed? Besides, if the governor knew about this matter, the consequences would be unimaginable. ā
"Benito, have we worked together on fewer things? Can't you trust each other? As long as we don't say it ourselves, how will the Governor know, you say no! The Speaker raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said meaningfully.
Germez's back began to sweat all of a sudden.
Cassel had always known that Gomez was timid, and hurriedly took over the conversation: "Actually, this is also a matter of last resort, seeing that the business of Qiyao Stone is about to come to an end, everyone here is understanding, although the group of guys outside is very noisy, when it comes to the real vote, how many dare to vote against it in front of the governor?" The arm can't twist the thigh, and it's only a matter of time before the gem mine is collected! Smart people, plan ahead. ā
Gracia also came over and continued to lobby: "Brother, this matter, you only need to be responsible for dredging the relationship between the 19th Division, how to buy and ship, all by us, if there is a loss of goods on the road, we will carry the risk, and the profits will be shared equally, what do you think of this condition?" ā
Listening to the words of the three of them, Gomez felt that they had premeditated, and he tentatively said to Gracia: "How sure are you that the famous miser dares to say something risky?" ā
Gracia said with a smile: "The risk on the side of Gatapunia, we don't have to carry it, naturally there are buyers over there to pick it up, we just need to transport it to the edge of the highway boundary, plus brother, you have dredged the relationship between the 19th Division, this risk is naturally extremely low!" ā
Gomez suddenly realized: "It turns out that someone from there has come to the door!" ā
"That's right, not only did they send it to the door, but the price they offered was also very suitable, guess how much they paid for a piece of torim wheat?"
Gomez's eyes lit up, and he dared to guess: "Now that wheat is only sold for 2,500 in Julai, can he give 5,000 in one go?" ā
There was a burst of laughter in the room, and Cassel shook his head and laughed, "If it's just doubled, we can't be so tempted." Do you know that the price given by people is 7,000 meters for a torim, which is nearly three times the price! You say, this kind of money sent to the door, can we let it fly? ā
Gomez suddenly felt a lot of banknotes flying in the air, and he couldn't help but think out loud: "The difference in Torim is 4,500, and if it is only transported to the border, excluding freight and various expenses, it can earn 4,000 meters." He calculated, looked up sharply, his eyes widened, and asked a crucial question: "And how much can they eat?" ā
The Speaker handed over his cigar box, and Cassel reached for one and lit it, and when he saw Gomez asking, he stretched out his finger and enumerated them one by one:
"Wheat alone, 10,000 torims over there. In addition, they also need other wintering foods, such as our seafood, shelf-stable vegetables and fruits, cheese, wine, as long as there is a price difference, they can make it. He leaned his head closer to Gomez and whispered, "We don't do it every month, as long as we do it hard in the months before the North Highway freezes over, we can sit and enjoy it all year round." ā
Gracia also leaned his face over and continued to agitate: "In this way, the army side doesn't have to be too difficult, as long as you turn a blind eye in the past few months, at other times, go up to the peak to inspect, isn't it still the same?" ā
Gomez's heart was pounding, and after the two of them said this, he found that the matter was much simpler than he expected, and there was really a lot of room for maneuver. A smile appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "In that case, there is actually no need to alarm the entire Nineteenth Division, just tell the squadron they are guarding at Eagle Pass." ā
Gracia laughed out loud and said, "So, brother, this matter is not as complicated as you think, isn't your brother just in Eagle Pass?" However, for the sake of insurance, we can also properly walk around the relationship at the top, as if we were insuring ourselves at the top. ā
Germez's heart gradually became hot, and piles of Mira burned in his heart. He immediately made up his mind: "I will go to my brother immediately, if it doesn't work, I'll give a word." ā
