Chapter Ninety-Three: The Solution Chapter Ninety-Four: Charm Breakthrough
93. Workaround
"Two billion amethyst stones, it's really troublesome!" Kang Hongyuan touched his beard, put the cigar in his mouth, and then maybe felt a little unaccustomed to it, and held it in his hand again. He took two puffs on his lips, and then snuffed out in the ashtray on the table: "How many people know?" β
"You and me, as well as Li Mengdie and Christine." Zhao Li replied honestly, in front of the old man, it seemed that Zhao Li was a little unable to lie.
"That's good, don't let more people know." Kang Hongyuan cautioned.
At this point, Zhao Li couldn't help but admire this old guy. What did he and the two girls look like when they saw the amethyst, and I still remember that when the old guy heard this, he didn't react at all, but immediately began to think of possible problems. This calm kung fu is worth learning from Zhao Li.
"Are you willing?" The old man asked Zhao Li inexplicably, but Zhao Li didn't understand what it meant: "What is willing?" β
"What are you willing to give?" I didn't understand what the old man was talking about, and then Zhao Li asked again.
"Give up a part of the benefits, maybe even a large part of it." Kang Hongyuan looked at Zhao Li's eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Can you be specific?" Zhao Li knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would be a very troublesome problem. Fortunately, the soldiers only knew what was in the two boxes, and they didn't know what was in them.
"With so much amethyst, you can't swallow it privately. If you want to deal with it, no matter what method you use, it will always leave a record. Kang Hongyuan looked at Zhao Li and was very serious: "I believe you also know what the concept of a soldier on duty who suddenly has no reason to have so many amethyst stones during his service is enough to send you to a military court and jail for a lifetime." β
"I didn't think about it for free." Zhao Li replied honestly. To be honest, Zhao Li really never thought about it like this, otherwise he wouldn't have let the two girls see those things.
"And what do you think?" As soon as Old Man Kang heard Zhao Li's words, he knew that he also had ideas, and encouraged Zhao Li to speak his mind.
"I want to divide that equally among those involved in the mission." Zhao Li honestly said what he thought in his heart: "In this way, the twenty elites will be more motivated because of these, and those who don't get it will also be stimulated to participate in the task......
"Stupid!" Without waiting for Zhao Li to finish his overall plan, Old Man Kang had already directly judged: "If you do this, tomorrow you will find that most of your soldiers have run away or even all of them have disappeared, and then the day after tomorrow, the fragments of your corpse may appear anywhere in the Golden Five Star." β
"Why?" Zhao Li couldn't understand, was it wrong for him to motivate his subordinates?
"Twenty people are two billion, and everyone is a billionaire." Kang Hongyuan carefully analyzed Zhao Li: "But, have you ever seen a billionaire still on the front line?" Don't talk about this, you send the money, 100 million amethyst, where are these guys hiding? Isn't it being seen by other people and becoming a bait for money and murder? Plus some people don't get it, they start to get jealous, maybe they tell the guerrillas again, how long can you resist here? β
Zhao Li didn't think about this, and immediately opened his mouth in surprise by this analysis. Indeed, what Kang Hongyuan said makes sense, rich guys will be extraordinarily sparing their lives, which is especially undesirable in the barracks, especially in the barracks of this place. If this money is really sent, it will definitely become the most direct reason for infighting and desertion. It's easy to look a little bit, and Zhao Li doesn't want his hard work to come to naught.
Jiang is still old and spicy, and from just one question, Zhao Li's ideas are very simple and naΓ―ve, and he is not suitable for making decisions on such occasions at all.
Touching the cold sweat on the back of his head, Zhao Li screamed in his heart that it was dangerous. Fortunately, I knew that I had discussed it with Kang Hongyuan in advance, otherwise, I didn't know how I died.
"Then you keep saying, what should I do?" This time, Zhao Li sincerely asked for advice, and did not mean anything else. However, unconsciously, there has been a change in the title.
"That's why I ask you if you're willing to give it up." Kang Hongyuan didn't seem to notice the change in Zhao Li's title at all, and carefully reminded Zhao Li: "If you can't bear it, then you can only hide it secretly, hide it in a place that no one knows, and never say a word about it from now on." Wait for decades after you retire, don't touch him until no one mentions it again, and then secretly take it back and spend it slowly. Truth be told, the name billionaire is pretty good. β
"What if you give it?" Zhao Li thought about it, and shrunk his thoughts back from this attractive suggestion, if you can't do that, it is tantamount to embezzling everyone's money, if you really do that, you will definitely feel guilty for the rest of your life.
"If you are willing, it will be easy to do." Kang Hongyuan smiled: "Report!" Find a superior you trust, report the matter, and let them take care of it. β
Seeing that Zhao Li wanted to speak and stopped, Kang Hongyuan didn't let him speak: "Don't worry, this kind of thing, no one can swallow it alone, the amount is too large, and it will definitely leave you the part you deserve as the initiator." And the proportion is quite a lot. With this peace of mind money, you can find another way to do it. β
Let the above deal with it, two billion amethyst stones, Zhao Li thought about it at first glance, and his flesh hurt extraordinarily. However, it is indeed very difficult not to do so.
"You can handle it yourself, and you can't handle it properly. No bank would accept two billion amethyst for no reason. The only fate that awaits you is to be arrested. Seeing Zhao Li's hesitant and painful appearance, Kang Hongyuan couldn't help but remind him. With so much amethyst, it's not so easy to handle.
"I gave it to my superiors, what should I do with the rest of the money?" Zhao Li continued to ask for advice.
"With the rest of the money, you can set up an insurance fund, or other things with a surname, and give everyone to you, or people who have performed well, a huge war risk. As long as your soldiers are alive when they retire, they can get a large pension. If you are disabled or die in battle, the money is much higher than the pension of those political axes. With this kind of incentive, it's much better than if you send money directly. β
I can't help but say that this is a very difficult reason to refuse. This mechanism can even be combined with the usual performance of those soldiers, if the performance is good, then his incentive fund will be high, and if the performance is not good, the incentive fund will be low, and it can also stimulate the rise of morale to a certain extent.
If you know that as long as you work hard to carry out the mission, then there is a considerable war fund, and it is extra, which soldier will not be tempted? Especially these soldiers, who are affected by anger here, know that they have a fortune that allows them to live the life of a superior person, but the premise is that they obey orders and fight bravely, which one will be left behind?
Old man Kang is worthy of being an expert in the study of politics, and the study of people's hearts has reached an indescribable realm. Just by the treatment of these amethyst stones, you can see the gap between Zhao Li and Old Man Kang. Even Zhao Li, Li Mengdie and Krestine, two outstanding students of the genius school, are not the opponents of the old man alone.
It's just that it's easy to say, I really have to hand over so a lot of amethyst, and I feel that there is always a little reluctance.
Zhao Li had been struggling since he stood alone in front of the amethyst for a long time before. In the end, it was decided to dispose of the money, either to divide it equally among the soldiers, or to use it to buy arms in order to alleviate the current predicament. Although the lieutenant colonel in charge of logistics has already taken out 50 percent of this year's inventory, there is still a lot of lack to turn these people into elite soldiers.
"It can also be used to improve the current base's firepower and munitions reserves!" Zhao Li added a clause, which can be regarded as asking the old man's opinion in disguise.
"It's up to you to decide for yourself, you're the chief, aren't you?" Kang Hongyuan saw that Zhao Li had understood what he meant, but he became relaxed.
"Well, old man, I might need your connections to help contact some arms dealers." When Zhao Li said these words, he was a little sad in his heart. The dignified political axe army, however, has to buy weapons from arms dealers.
"I don't have that much energy, and I don't have this illegal relationship." Kang Hongyuan did not hesitate to reject Zhao Li's request: "You are the commander of the Political Axe Army, you should not and cannot say such things publicly on any occasion!" β
Kang Hongyuan's serious words seemed to remind Zhao Li that he should always dissociate himself from certain underground forces. Of course, it's two different things to say and do.
"General!" Zhao Li faced the communicator and saluted a standard military salute. On the opposite side of the communicator was General Thomas, who was originally in the military district. Zhao Li didn't know much about the relationship, and the first thing that came to mind was General Thomas, who was also the descendant of the old prison warden.
"What's the matter, Lieutenant!" General Thomas was very puzzled by Zhao Li's sudden search for him at this time, and it could be seen from his frowning brows that he didn't seem to be so happy. Maybe Zhao Li suddenly violated the regulations and skipped the local military region to find him, which made him a little unhappy.
Zhao Li seemed to ignore General Thomas's unhappiness, and just asked anxiously: "General, is this line safe?" β
"Wait a minute!" When Zhao Li said this, General Thomas immediately knew that he had something important to say, and asked him to wait a while, and then looked at the general over there who didn't know what he had done, and then turned his face: "Okay, you can say it." β
"What? You attacked the drug dealer's trade scene? When General Thomas heard Zhao Li's report, his first reaction was to almost jump up: "Are you impatient?" β
"Report to the general, all the enemies have been wiped out, including three eighth-level masters, and four of us have been lightly wounded, and none of them have died. The entire operation was completely covert and not exposed. Zhao Li hurriedly reported the results: "In addition, general, there are some seizures, I don't know what to do!" β
Hearing the results of Zhao Li's words, General Thomas was a little relieved. Everyone is killed, so for the time being, no one will suspect the political axe. It's not once or twice that black eats black among drug dealers, let them eat dog by themselves! After his mood eased, he became a little interested in Zhao Li's seizure: "What are they?" β
"Some small amount of munitions, as well as ......" Looking at the general's face, when he heard the munitions, Zhao Li felt a lot more down-to-earth, and told the truth honestly: "And some amethyst." β
"Amethyst?" General Thomas's heart was even more relaxed, amethyst was easy to handle, as long as it was not a drug, arms and amethyst were easy to deal with. In a good mood, he asked lightly: "How many?" β
"Two billion!" Zhao Li replied weakly.
"Bang", Zhao Li saw very clearly inside the communicator, General Thomas heard the news, the coffee cup he had just picked up in his hand seemed to have been hit by a shot, and it fell to the desk, and the sound was clearly recognizable.
After scrambling to clean up his desk, General Thomas ignored the coffee stains on his placket, almost lying on the communicator's camera, and roared, "How much do you say?" β
"Two billion! Checkmate! Zhao Li once again made a clear and accurate report. Those amethyst stones have been weighed, exactly one ton per box. For the first time in his life, Zhao Li felt this method of calculating the amount of money by weight, and it didn't feel ordinary comfort.
General Thomas finally knew why Zhao Li contacted him at this time, and he also emphasized using a safe line. Two billion amethyst stones, Zhao Li, who lost money, only used some of this definite phrase to describe it.
Knowing the exact figures, General Thomas couldn't help but feel dizzy. Although at his level, no matter how much money he has seen, he has never seen what it is like to have two billion amethyst stones stacked together.
"Who else knows about this?" The first reaction was to ask who else knew. Zhao Li can't help but admire, these guys in high positions think differently from ordinary people. Kang Hongyuan is like this, and General Thomas is the same, the first question is the same.
"It's just me, General!" Zhao Li, for the purpose of protecting the two women, did not count them: "However, those involved in the operation know that we have seized two metal boxes, weighing more than a ton. It's just that they don't know what's in the box. β
"Very well, Lieutenant, you handled this matter very well." General Thomas, who had calmed down, did not feel at all how funny a large coffee stain on the chest of his flat military uniform was: "Keep it up, and don't let anyone know the secret in the box until the people I send arrive." β
"Yes, General!" Zhao Li agreed loudly.
"You take care of it personally, don't show any mouth, and wait for our special person to take care of it." General Thomas carefully instructed Zhao Li: "Also, the barracks should keep their actions completely normal, as if this incident had never happened!" β
"Yes, General!"
94. Charm breakthrough
General Thomas also seemed to know that Zhao Li got a large amount of money, and instead of swallowing it himself, he reported his own reasons, and asked Zhao Li to put forward conditions very straightforwardly: "What do you want?" β
"Request?" Zhao Li was stunned, and immediately understood that this was the time for him to ask for benefits: "General, what do you think I need to do?" "Anti-customer-oriented, throw the problem back. First, he seems not to be greedy, and secondly, this attitude also makes the general very satisfied.
"Yes, that's it!" The general didn't care about Zhao Li kicking the question back, and pondered for a while: "I'll help you open an anonymous account, rest assured, it's safe, and no one will track it down." For the rest, you see for yourself what is needed. Anyway, one sentence made Zhao Li understand that his share was indispensable.
"Thank you, General." Zhao Li also understood that when General Thomas came, he dispelled his last concerns: "When you send someone to receive it, it is best to bring a batch of conventional arms and ammunition, there is a shortage of things here." "With such a good relationship with the commander of the military region, why do you still want to find those arms dealers? It is reasonable and legal, and it is much easier than that kind of underground transaction.
As soon as Zhao Li mentioned it, the general knew what was going on: "This is simple, I will bring you a batch of arms, what else?" β
made Zhao Li suddenly think, Zhao Li really couldn't think of it, anyway, having his own sum was enough for Zhao Li to arrange the following plan. However, since it comes to munitions, the lieutenant colonel in charge of logistics also takes good care of himself, and he cannot fail to mention it here: "General, the officer in charge of logistics here takes good care of me, and it is said that it was arranged by General Lucas. If you allow it......" Zhao Li didn't say the latter words, presumably General Thomas would definitely understand what he meant.
"Lucas, this guy can be regarded as a good deed." Hearing Lucas's name, General Thomas laughed instead: "Don't worry, he is the commander of the military region in your area, and this matter can't get around him." β
Hanging up the communication, General Thomas was excited, but he couldn't help but have a headache: "This guy, counting on him to be a man over there with his tail between his legs, will come out like this soon, alas!" While shaking his head, he thought about how to deal with the two billion amethysts.
"Just snicker!" Old man Kang looked at Zhao Li with a little pain, and couldn't help but mention him: "Do you think two billion amethyst stones are so easy to handle?" It is necessary to make the above feel that the money is reasonable, and to protect you from being betrayed, and to balance the relationship between various forces, and to give some benefits to important people. Do you think it's that easy? β
"Not that exaggerated, right? It's just money! Although Zhao Li has understood some of the difficulties, he has not yet thoroughly understood the Tao here, and following Kang Hongyuan can be regarded as a class: "You always point and point." β
"To put it simply, it's money laundering, and of course, it's money laundering at the top of the military, and it's probably relatively easy. However, you can't report it in the name of seizure, otherwise, your little life will be left here. Kang Hongyuan seems to be familiar with this kind of funding, and he is no stranger to it, and he should be in frequent contact with this kind of thing: "Of course, there is also arms smuggling. Don't forget, the law here prohibits so many weapons. β
Zhao Li didn't take much care of the arms smuggling, anyway, the commanders of the two military regions worked together, and if they couldn't bring in a little arms, it would be too unreasonable. However, when it comes to money laundering, it reminds Zhao Li of Ban Yunchan. Being able to launder such a large sum of money that is enough to make HSBC fail, and it is still silent, this kind of ability is not comparable to Zhao Li's current worries about two billion amethyst stones.
Ban Yunchan's delicate and beautiful face seemed to appear in front of Zhao Li again. If she had her, maybe she wouldn't have had to be so troublesome. After all, two billion amethyst stones are still painful!
For three or two days in a row, there was no news from General Thomas's side, and it seemed that there was no consensus on the handling of those things, as you can imagine. Everything in the camp was relatively normal.
What made Zhao Li strange was that he hadn't seen Kristeen for two or three days. Even when I went to the medical room, it was the original military doctor who was on duty. When asked, he had also not seen Lieutenant Colonel Kristeen, and did not know what she was doing.
Li Mengdie was still training those soldiers. Today's soldiers, especially the elite soldiers, have high morale and enthusiasm for training. The rise in strength and the easy elimination of a guerrilla trading scene have doubled their confidence, and they are no longer the same as before.
The exercises of the genius school, Li Mengdie just chose the kind that was allowed to be taught, and the effect was very good. However, there are still two realms of cultivation with Li Mengdie.
Zhao Li once consulted Li Mengdie carefully, and said to Zhao Li and Christine that the matter of the genius school does not need to be kept secret, so Li Mengdie did not hide it at all.
The usual process is that when students enter a gifted school, they immediately start learning advanced basic exercises, rather than basic physical exercises. This is completely different from ordinary society.
When the student's cultivation has passed a certain realm, they begin to strictly determine their own caste, and then the instructors of the genius school will choose one to three exercises according to the actual situation of the student. In addition to the advanced combat techniques, Kristeen practiced three kinds of healing and soul seduction. And Li Mengdie, as a combatant, is only allowed to cultivate one kind, which is her current cold and ice true qi.
This name, except that Zhao Li knew that Li Mengdie had become an iceberg beauty after cultivating, and even attacked with true qi and with cold qi, there was no concept. Even the name seems strange.
"It's not surprising, the full name should be Ice True Qi No. 27." Li Mengdie was not surprised at all: "It should be the twenty-seventh rank of the same cold ice surname that someone has already experimented with the surname cultivation." β
"Experimental surname cultivation?" Zhao Li couldn't help but ask, and at the same time, he immediately remembered that the students of the genius school have always been white mice for researchers to study.
"Yes, high-level exercises cannot be popularized on a large scale, but they can greatly enhance combat effectiveness." Li Mengdie seems to have become accustomed to being a white mouse: "Our task is to master and find a set of methods that can lower the standard of cultivation through our own practice. Even if this method is not available, it is important to try to obtain as much detailed data as possible and try to promote it on a small scale. β
"Aren't you going to have to take a lot of scientific research?" Zhao Li asked knowingly, but he felt a little sorry for Li Mengdie.
"Isn't this precisely to improve the quality of the whole people?" Li Mengdie's casual answer, but Zhao Li couldn't help but sigh at the brainwashing of the genius school: "A few of us have made sacrifices just so that all ordinary people can one day achieve greater improvement!" And as a genius student, the treatment is many times better than that of ordinary people, and he should also be rewarded. β
"But life is good now! What do you want to do with such a big boost? Zhao Li's own understanding was a little backward: "Well, I understand." Looking at Li Mengdie's idiot-like gaze, Zhao Li still felt that he should surrender immediately.
Basically, it can already be guessed that Li Mengdie's life in the genius school has been brainwashed after practicing after practice. Regularly go to the scientific research personnel to provide tissue samples and practice reports, and the rules are like a machine.
Fortunately, I already had a concept in my heart at that time, so I successfully avoided such a life. In this regard, even Zhao Li admired his wisdom. Although you can learn powerful exercises when you enter a genius school, it is not good to live such a life, and maybe you will become an undesirable person like Major Michael after you come out.
Besides, his current nameless true qi is not necessarily worse than these exercises of one kind or another. At least, even if it is an eighth-level master, when it encounters Zhao Li's nameless true qi attack, the muscles that are attacked will also spasm. It's just that the higher the level, the shorter the recovery time, and so far Zhao Li has not met anyone who can resist. With such a skill of killing up and down, Zhao Li felt that it was far better than practicing an experimental exercise, although Zhao Li was not sure, in the end, the old prison warden gave him this set of nameless exercises, did he mention him, or use him as an experiment?
Asked about Kristine, to Zhao Li's surprise, Li Mengdie actually said that Kristine was in retreat and cultivating, and it was said that she suddenly had some kind of understanding. This made Zhao Li even more puzzled, could it be that he saw a lot of money and was stimulated?
In any case, since Kristine was able to retreat, she must have had an epiphany, and Zhao Li deliberately added two sentry posts to the room where Kristine was retreating, and then waited quietly for her to come out.
General Thomas's arrangement had not yet been carried out, and two large chests full of amethyst were placed in the conference room in the basement. Zhao Li sometimes couldn't help but worry, with so many amethyst stones, what should he do if something happens.
Only now did Zhao Li really understand how stupid he was when he wanted to divide the money equally, it turned out that there was too much money, and it could really crush people. Fortunately, there is an old man like Kang Hongyuan, otherwise it would be unimaginable now.
did not wait for General Thomas, but waited for Christine's exit. Hearing the news, Zhao Li was the first to rush to the scene.
"What, does it look weird?" Christine asked playfully. The slightly mature but still a little green feeling that showed his whole body made Zhao Li's heart no longer controllable, and he jumped wildly with excitement.
The current Kristeen is completely different from the past. In the past, Kristine always had a coquettish smile on her face, and she would always make a seductive gesture as if she were there, so that people could not help but see her hot body and the kind of eyes that seemed to be full of longing.
However, now she is not like this at all. After going through a retreat, I reappeared, and my temperament changed dramatically. It's like going from a slut who takes the initiative to seduce people but never gives people a real chance to a restrained but full of temptation, and people want to conquer at the first sight of her.
One is to seduce others and make others passively have reverie, and the other is to make people take the initiative to conquer after seeing them, two completely different realms, even Zhao Li, an untrained big boy, can feel the difference.
Even because of the change in temperament, even the habit has changed. Now Christine's every move is really like an unripe and delicious peach. There is no longer that kind of soul-seducing smiling, nor does he make that kind of physical contact intentionally or unintentionally, but the problem is that this kind of Christine is more tempting, and it almost makes Zhao Li a little uncontrollable.
The heart uncontrollably quickened the pace of beating, and the voice was so loud that Zhao Li couldn't find a place to cover it up. As a last resort, Zhao Li hurriedly mobilized the basic fitness technique, closed his eyes, and directly came to a nine-week exercise to calm down his mood, and then he opened his eyes and looked at the super beauty in front of him who was not a stunner, but was better than a stunner.
Li Mengdie also arrived, looking at Christine, she seemed to be a little speechless. As for the two sentry posts arranged by Zhao Li, they had already been dizzy, so they let Kristine leave without a word, and went to prepare bath water for her without complaint.
"What's going on?" This is Zhao Li's concern, there should be at least a reason why Christine has changed so much suddenly!
"Because I saw something more attractive, I just felt a little bit in my heart. How's that, isn't it more powerful than before? Christine's face was innocent, her eyes blinked at Zhao Li, and she replied playfully.
Raising his fingers, Zhao Li pointed many times in a row, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally looked left and right and thought for a long time: "You are not allowed to seduce my warrior in the future!" β
"Okay, then I'll only seduce you in the future!" Christine smiled dignifiedly, but said such an undignified word, but Zhao Li's heart beat for a while, causing Li Mengdie next to him to snort coldly.
Unexpectedly, hearing this cold snort, Christine came to Li Mengdie's side very affectionately, and grabbed her little hand with one hand: "Ignore him, go take a bath with my sister!" β
Under Zhao Li's stunned expression, Li Mengdie didn't seem to have any resistance, and obediently left with Christine. Zhao Li looked at the graceful backs of the two women, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, then scolded himself, and hurriedly left and rushed to the training ground.
Who would have thought that in the face of the temptation of two billion amethyst stones, Christine actually had a new understanding of soul seduction at this time, and went to the next level. It seems that in the future, when the person who practices in this direction reaches a certain point, he will prepare a room of banknotes or amethyst stones, let him stay in it for a day, and it is estimated that he will be able to make a breakthrough.
Soon after Kristeen left the customs, Zhao Li finally received an order from above, telling him to get ready, the military region would send people to conduct a routine inspection of the barracks, and the responsible personnel would arrive the next day.
Zhao Li calculated, tomorrow happens to be the normal logistics supply time. It seems that the above is also quite brainstorming, trying to be low-key and normal, and not attracting anyone's attention. What made Zhao Li's case most amazing was that under the guise of the military region's inspection, even Zhao Li's actions in recent months were completely covered up and reasonable.
(To be continued)
