146: Liberty City

Woo woo...

At noon the next day, an international flight carrying five people flew to the distant other side of the ocean.

Lin Yao sat on the plane and looked at the white clouds outside the window.

This is not the first time he has been abroad, but his burden is heavier than before.

It took sixteen hours, and the next morning, the plane arrived in New York.

There, they'll take a train to Florida, a coastal city called Liberty City.

It is a medium-sized city with a strategic location, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the south and Europe to the east.

What's more, it has the CIA's European Intelligence Division, which is headed by the CIA's deputy director, Mr. Pinault, a partner in Tazhai.

"Welcome Mr. Lin Yao!!"

Lin Yao and his party got off the train and quickly noticed a young man holding a sign standing in front of the platform.

He looked to be twenty-four or five years old, dressed in a military uniform, and was looking back and forth at pedestrians, clearly looking for something.

"Excuse me, are you Eddie Alex?"

Lin Yao took the initiative to lead someone up and stretched out his right hand: "I am Lin Yao." ”

"Nice to meet you, I'm Mr. Pino's nephew, you can call me Add."

Eddie is a typical Westerner-faced, with yellow hair, a high nose bridge, fair skin, and a tall stature.

The two shook hands briefly, and soon Lin Yao and his group of five followed Eddie into a black six-seater Mercedes-Benz business car.

"You are Mr. Pino's own nephew?" Lin Yao sat in the co-pilot and opened his mouth to chat with Eddie.

Eddie nodded lightly and replied as he drove, "Yes, Mr. Pinault is my uncle." ”

"Where do you serve?"

Lin Yao didn't know much about Mei Lijian's army structure, and he couldn't tell Eddie's origin from the uniform.

But he could tell that Eddie was a petty officer, and looking at the epaulettes on his uniform, it seemed to be a captain.

Don't underestimate the captain, in the military system, the captain is already a junior commander, and he is a company-level officer in Tang Guozhong, and it is estimated that it is similar here.

Eddie looks like he's twenty-four or five, and says that he has just graduated from college, and some people believe him, and the graduation time will definitely not be more than two years.

Now he is a captain, and he has the support of Mr. Pinault behind him, and he will definitely be promoted to major before thirty, as long as he doesn't make mistakes halfway, he can become a general before the age of fifty, and he is a proper military star.

"I served in the Coast Guard, I was in charge of the C34 area, and I was the commander of a trust-class speedboat."

"By the way, the C34 area is the sea area in front of Liberty City, starting from the port of Liberty City and going all the way to the high seas, I am in charge of a speedboat, four patrol boats, and dozens of people under my command."

As soon as Eddie said his identity, Lin Yao's eyes lit up.

Liberty City is the right place to be, not only is it Mr. Pino's home base, but it is also flooded by the water he runs in.

It is believed that even in the city, there should be a large number of people who support him, such as councillors, governors, and heads of departments.

"When will I see Mr. Pino?" Lin Yao asked.

Eddie paused for a moment, and then slowly shook his head: "You don't need to see Mr. Pinault, I am his plenipotentiary agent, if there is a problem, the two of us can consult, and if the problem is serious, I will ask for instructions." ”

Lin Yao's heart was cold, sure enough, it was not so easy to see Mr. Pinault.

In the final analysis, he is only one of the people in charge of Tazhai, not the general person in charge.

Uncle Dong is here, and there is still a little possibility of seeing Mr. Pino, but he is still a little close.

"My uncle is a noble person, he doesn't like to put himself in a humiliated position, you can see me as my uncle's white glove, we will discuss something, unless you can make certain achievements, otherwise you will not see him."

Eddie smiled at Lin Yao and added, "Don't feel neglected, people like my uncle will not end up easily, you should understand this kind of hardship." ”

Being in a high position, there are too many halos, and every move also represents too many meanings.

Therefore, the big people like to train agents to come forward for themselves, and if they encounter problems, they can also push the agents out to take the blame, so that they will not harm themselves.

This method is used all over the world.

Zhao Ruilong is not in this case because he has not entered politics and is a businessman, otherwise it would be difficult to see him.

"We're here!"

The car drove for half an hour and stopped in front of a villa with a sea view.

"Where is this?" Lin Yao got out of the car, looked at this dream villa facing the sea and blooming in spring, and asked, "Is your home?" ”

"Of course not, this is my friend's house, very good friend, I occasionally come to borrow it for a few days. You don't think I have the money to buy this kind of villa, don't kid, this villa is worth at least $3 million, and my salary can't even pay the rent. ”

Eddie bit the word friend very hard, and when he thought of the playful smile on his face, it was not difficult to guess the origin of this villa.

Legally, this villa is definitely not Eddie's, otherwise the IRS would not have spared him.

But in reality, Eddie is the owner of the villa, and he has full control over it, but he has the villa in someone else's name.

It seems that the gameplay in the world is almost the same.

In Tang Guozhong, there are also many officials who do not have real estate in their names, and the real real estate is hung on the seventh aunt, the eighth aunt, or simply on the friends.

Legally speaking, they are very clean, and as for whether they are really honest or not, then they have to be carefully checked.

"Come in and see how my friend's house goes."

Eddie beckoned Lin Yao and his party into his so-called friend's house.

The interior decoration is very luxurious, just the Austrian handmade wool carpet on the ground, which can't be put down without more than 100,000 dollars outside.

The appliances and furniture inside are full of futuristic atmosphere, all of which are controlled by voice intelligence, from the light intensity, color, to the flushing system of the toilet, none of which are manual.

"What is the 21st century, the 21st century is when you lie on the sofa and can command all the appliances in the room, even the glass windows are adjustable."

"Next, I'm going to ask my friend to press the turntable under the villa."

"If you want to see the sea, the house will face the sea, and if you want to see the sunset, the house will face the sunset."

"You don't have to take a single step, lie on the sofa in the living room, and with an order, the house can adjust the angle and orientation by itself, which is the ultimate enjoyment."

Eddie was lying on the couch, shaking the red wine in his hand, and his face was smug.

Lin Yao smacked his tongue secretly when he heard this, this is life, but he doesn't know how long the life built on the attic in the sky can last.

"I'm going to build a factory here, I have the technology and sales network, you and your uncle have a transportation channel, if you build a factory in Liberty City, business will definitely prosper."

"What's in it for me?"

Add changed to a normal color, his eyes full of greed.

"You and your uncle, enjoy our thirty percent bonus!" Lin Yao replied truthfully.

Eddie shook his head without thinking about it, and replied, "That's my uncle, who enjoys your thirty percent bonus, he won't give me the cake, I want my share." ”

Lin Yao frowned and asked, "How much do you want?" ”

"Yicheng, I'm not greedy." Eddie gestured one.

This time, Lin Yao shook his head and denied: "You are not worth the price." ”

"I am the maritime commander of the C34 area, and I can guarantee that your cargo will enter the high seas safe and sound, until Europe, and my ship can even help you carry your cargo if necessary!"

Lin Yao thought seriously for a moment, but still shook his head: "It's still not enough." ”

With the CIA's Mr. Pinault on his side, he was able to transport goods to Europe without the help of the Coast Guard.

Add wanted to get involved, and he welcomed it, but he couldn't stop getting cut and bled because Eddie wasn't qualified.

"How much can you give?" Add relented, knowing that the initiative was not his.

Lin Yao touched his chin and thought about it, and replied, "The annual toll of 30 million US dollars, I think it can reflect my sincerity." ”

"Too little, are you sending beggars?" Eddie wasn't happy.

"Fifty million!" Lin Yao gave another number.

"100 million, you can get my friendship." Add didn't budge.

Lin Yao looked uneasy, and said, "You are too greedy, I am a friend!" ”

"You don't like it?" Eddie asked rhetorically.

"No, I like to be friends with greedy people, because greedy people know how to think about others."
