Chapter 67: Running Merchants
In the evening, Liu Ming came to pick up Li Mo in person, and drove him straight to the venue of the reception.
In fact, it is said to be a drinking party, but in the last days, even if it is a large gathering place, it is impossible to find the luxury before the end of the world in the early days. Therefore, this so-called cocktail party is a bit like a simple buffet dinner.
The venue is on a three-story building, and the venue is a lobby on the first floor. In front of the door of the building, there were two young waitresses who were quite beautiful and tall.
Seeing that the two of them were approaching, they all had faint smiles on their faces, and said in unison: "Hello Director Liu, hello Mr. Li, welcome." "It can be seen that from the manners, expressions, and words, they have all been trained. And apparently received the above information and knew Li Mo's identity.
However, Liu Ming, who has always smiled at Li Mo, maintains his due majesty in front of people like them. looked at one of them and asked lightly, "Where is your boss?" ”
The waitress listened and hurriedly said, "The boss is already waiting for the two of you in the private room at the back, please come with me." ”
It seems that the time for the banquet has not yet arrived, and Liu Ming's friend wants to meet Li Mo in advance.
Led by the hostess, the two soon came to the door of a private room.
"Boss, Director Liu and Mr. Li have arrived." There was a light knock on the door twice, and the waitress called in softly.
The door was quickly opened, and a middle-aged man who looked about the same age as Liu Ming and was a little embarrassed came out.
"Haha, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome. Don't be surprised Mr. Li! The middle-aged man spoke loudly, but not deliberately, but as a habit.
Liu Ming was obviously familiar with him, so he introduced Li Mo: "Xiao Li, he is Chu Guodong, the owner of this club, and he is a rough man, you must not be polite to him, just call Lao Chu." And he's got all the entertainment here, so you'll have to relax tonight. ”
"That's right, Mr. Li, don't be polite to me. Let's go and sit in the house first. Chu Guodong looked very bold, and hurriedly let Li Mo and Liu Ming into the private room. waved his hand again, coaxed the hostess who led the way away like a dog.
It's just that as soon as he entered the private room, Chu Guodong was not the only one inside, and there was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man sitting on the sofa.
This person's face is very ordinary, and there is nothing outstanding about it. But the temperament is obviously gloomy, and it is still a stone face.
However, when Chu Guodong opened the door before, Li Mo had already noticed the existence of this person. At this time, seeing the appearance of this person, he immediately recognized the identity of the other party. Lianghua's first ability: Jiang Kui.
The reason why he is said to be the first is because he, like Xu Mingdong, is also from a military background.
Therefore, for the high-level leaders of the gathering place, of course, it is their own people. In terms of supply in all aspects, it is not at all comparable to those "outsiders" who came after.
But this is nothing, any large-scale gathering place will have key training objects, but what really matters is that these so-called pride of heaven who enjoy a lot of manpower and material resources and are raised, how many of them can really be on their own?
Before his rebirth, Li Mo traveled all over the major bases, and of course he knew something about this kind of person. And this Jiang Kui obviously belongs to the pillars of Lianghua.
In fact, his ability is not uncommon, it is an ice attribute ability.
But this person is very good at thinking, and in the last time and space, it can be said that there are many theories about the use of attribute abilities, which are precisely what this person has figured out.
Looking at the front again, Chu Guodong also introduced Li Mo: "Mr. Li, this is General Jiang Kui of our special evolution combat team here." "Except for the different names, it's actually similar to the identity of Xingcheng Lao Xu.
As for Jiang Kui, although he has long known that Li Mo is also a capable person, he does not have any intention of being close. didn't get up, just bowed slightly towards him, even if he said hello.
Liu Ming saw that he hurriedly leaned into Li Mo's ear and whispered: "This thing is a facial paralysis, it looks like this to everyone, don't you mind." ”
With Li Mo's understanding of Jiang Kui, how could he not know his temperament? I didn't take it seriously in the first place.
But after listening to Liu Ming's words, he almost couldn't help but be happy. Although Lao Liu's voice was extremely low just now, Li Mo was very sure that such a close distance would definitely not escape Jiang Kui's keen hearing.
So he glanced at Jiang Kui with some playfulness, but saw that the other party's face still had that unsalty and non-salty expression, and he didn't see any emotion, as if he hadn't heard that at all.
Of course, Chu Guodong on the side would not let it be cold, and greeted again: "Come on, come on, Mr. Li will sit down first, let's sit down and talk." ”
After saying that, he led Li Mo and Liu Ming to sit down. Liu Ming had a friendship with him, and he knew something about Li Mo, so he naturally threaded the needle between the two, and soon made them warm. As for Jiang Kui, he looks like a stone Buddha who is not allowed to enter by the living, as long as it does not exist.
And after a few small talks, I heard Liu Ming smile at Chu Guodong and said: "Old Chu, Xiao Li is a cool person, if you have anything, just say it, don't beat around the bush." ”
As soon as this statement comes out, it means that the main dish is about to be served. If it weren't for the fact that he was asking for someone, of course Chu Guodong would not have had to see Li Mo in advance.
I saw him nod his head and said, "Then I'll be straight." Mr. Lee, that's right. I heard that you are going north to the Xishan side in the next two days, and it just so happens that I also have a batch of goods to be shipped here. So I thought, can I invite you to join my caravan? ”
Li Mo couldn't help but be interested when he heard this, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Liu Ming about business.
This is a matter of convenience, so he asked rhetorically: "Why did Boss Chu start trading now?" What about business? Have you stepped out yet? ”
Chu Guodong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he asked about the most critical place as soon as he came up, and he also sighed a little at his keenness. With a whole look, he replied truthfully: "This is not yet, and this is the first time we have tried." ”
As a result, when Li Mo heard this, he secretly sighed in his heart that he was unlucky, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.
But he didn't show it, and asked quietly: "Then how big is the scale of Boss Chu's caravan?" Is it convenient to talk about it? ”
Chu Guodong couldn't help but look up to Li Mo a little more when he heard this, of course he knew what he really wanted to ask.
He said: "Gathering on the upper floors of the ground is still very encouraging to run trade." I'm number one again, so of course I got some support. The upper echelons have promised that this time they will allow me to recruit a hundred servicemen from the army. And Team Jiang also agreed, and would transfer four evolution fighters to me. At the same time, I also recruited another escort from among the survivors, about 200 people. It's not big, but it's pretty good. ”
He said it modestly, but he couldn't hide his smugness. In fact, this caravan already has a semi-official nature.
And such a huge team also made Li Mo immediately have a plan. Although the trade route has not yet been opened, so many people and guns, as long as they do not encounter major changes, there is no need to detour at all, which can save themselves a lot of time.
As for Chu Guodong finding him, of course, he hoped to borrow himself and add an extra layer of insurance to his caravan.
After pondering for a while, Li Mo opened his mouth, and he was still simple and straightforward: "It's no problem to partner on the road, but I've always been unrestrained by others, so is Boss Chu willing to give me the command of the caravan?" ”
Hearing this, Chu Guodong was stunned for a moment, but then he couldn't hide his surprise. In fact, in his eyes, Li Mo is just the best candidate for team leader.
First of all, Li Mo is a capable person, and Chu Guodong has also heard that even his "son" is also a capable person. Even if it's a child, it's not negligible. Therefore, with them joining, even if they are not strong, they can boost the morale of the caravan.
Moreover, Li Mo's ability to come to Lianghua all the way from Xingcheng unharmed is enough to prove that in addition to his own strength, he also has this extremely strong survival ability.
Chu Guodong was still pondering, how to talk to Li Mo about this. As a result, someone actually offered to be the team leader, which was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow.
So he hurriedly responded: "Of course you can, as long as Mr. Li is willing, you are the team leader." And I am willing to give 10% of the proceeds of this trade as your reward Mr. Li. ”
But when Li Mo heard this, he waved his hand and smiled: "I went to Xishan this time, and I don't know when I can leave, so we will go together and not return." If you get paid or something, it's free. ”
He behaved very generously, but in fact, he simply didn't look down on Chu Guodong's so-called remuneration.
It's nothing more than tickets or supplies and other things, which you can't take away in the future, so what are you going to do?
Besides, if you don't get paid, you certainly don't have to take that responsibility.
And Chu Guodong is also a shrewd person, and he immediately heard the hidden meaning expressed by Li Mo: I want the power, but I don't care about the responsibility. Suddenly, he smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that this young man is really a goblin.
In fact, he proposed a reward in order to be able to go further and tie Li Mo to his caravan. Benefit sharing, the simplest truth.
But it's a pity that he can't come up with anything that can really make Li Mo tempted. And the interests he values are actually worthless in Li Mo's eyes.
