Chapter 126: The Middleman
Although I have long known that there will be people from the Celestial Empire here, and even occupy a considerable part of the number, I still have a feeling of meeting my hometown after I really see it.
"The boss here is a veteran of the Celestial Empire...... Rebecca explained.
"Strictly speaking, it's just the Goryeo who joined the Celestial Empire, and after the end of the Goryeo Civil War, my comrades-in-arms and I came here to open this bar." The bartender said a little lonely.
Now you should call him Boss Bao!
Obviously, it's not just about retiring, because ordinary veterans don't come to Roanapura.
At present, the retired soldiers in China are all sought-after goods, and the state's policy for demobilized soldiers is getting better and better.
These guys have either committed crimes in the army or have become deserters on the battlefield. It is impossible for the mistakes in the ordinary barracks to make them unable to find a suitable job in the Celestial Empire, so it is clear that only the latter possibility remains......
'After the defeat in the civil war on the other side of the peninsula, the Celestial Empire, which was in the position of friendly neighbors and allies, could only accept these Koreans into the country, and even gave them the citizenship of the Celestial Empire, but the shame of desertion must always be with them, unless they went to a place where they could accept that they might not even care about their status, so they came to this city. ’
The merchant made up the whole process in an instant, and as for whether it was right or not, only they knew it, and it was impossible for the merchant to ask them.
However, these were not the focus of the businessman's trip, so he just shook it in his head for a moment and put the question behind him.
"After all, we are outsiders, and when we need to settle here for a long time and we don't have much money now, we need a job that pays well, preferably the kind that can get paid as soon as possible." The merchant once again emphasized his purpose.
"Strictly speaking, we are not responsible for introducing work here...... Boss Bao said slowly as he wiped a glass that was already very clean.
"Okay, then I'll have to go and inquire somewhere else." The merchant said with some frustration.
"Listen to him!" Rebecca, who knew the inside story, glared at Boss Bao, who was pretending to be mysterious, and said.
"Of course, although we will not introduce you to a long-term job or be willing to ask for your company like an ordinary agency, we have some part-time jobs here, and you can consider your current situation." Boss Bao continued to say slowly.
"What part-time job?" The merchant asked with some vigilance in confusion, a part-time job in a bar will not make people feel good no matter where they are, especially in this kind of city bar that is not very good in itself.
"It's just some extra money!" Rebecca said disdainfully.
But it made the merchant feel even more bad, you have to know that the four people on your side, except for him, are all top beauty.
"You also know what kind of place this city is, kidnapping, robbery, and murder are commonplace, and this is also close to the golden waterway, although we usually have well water with pirates and do not violate river water, but sometimes it is not excluded to get a few votes in the sea, and pirate leaders will not come to this city for these things!" Boss Bao was very proud of this.
After all, it is a gathering place for international-level criminals, and as long as they have money to earn, they can do anything, and these are really just pediatrics.
At the same time, the businessman also has a certain understanding of Boss Bao's so-called part-time job.
"We sometimes do some adventure activities!" Rebecca said with a smile.
Of course, the merchant knew that these guys would never be so upright, and it was more likely to be tomb robbing, salvaging shipwreck treasures, and the like than exploring.
"In other words, I accept the commission from you, and then I will be paid as long as it is completed, right?" The merchant confirmed.
"That's right! Although there are almost all the big evil parties in the world, and there are people here almost as long as there are criminal organizations that can be called in the underground world, no matter how huge the organization is, it is impossible to take care of all aspects, there are always things that cannot be done, or things that are inconvenient to do in person. ”
"So they will use intermediaries like you to find people who can take over the mess in their hands to do the dirty work......," Meng Ying suddenly continued.
"Very clever, little gentleman!" The smile in the corner of Boss Bao's eyes seemed to be a little thicker.
"And then the most important question is, how often do you send out your commissions here? How many times a day, or one every day? ”
The merchant doesn't care about the amount of remuneration at all, after all, this can be discussed, and the more dangerous the task, the more powerful the task, the more it will naturally be rewarded.
But if there is a profitable task for a month or even a few months, then they really have to drink the northwest wind.
"I'm not sure about this, after all, those are all tasks assigned by those large organizations, and if it is not a special situation, generally these large organizations can complete it on their own ability, and there is no need to outsource."
Sure enough! Hearing this, the merchant's heart sank suddenly, and at this time, he expected a worse situation, and it was also the most likely situation.
"And even if it's outsourced, sometimes a lot of large organizations will directly entrust some small studios that usually have a good relationship and some friendship, after all, everyone knows each other well, and people can be found when something happens."
"So in general, most of the organizations here will go to contractors who are already familiar with them, rather than new people like us who are unknown and can turn around and leave at any time?" Meng Ying then concluded.
"Of course, after all, everyone eats in this industry, and there are always some things that people don't want to know, especially some things that will damage their reputation, and it is impossible to entrust a guy from an unknown source." Boss Bao said meaningfully.
And the merchant knew that there was a more important point he hadn't said, but it was hidden in the metaphor between the lines.
If it is not for some studios that are very trusting and have a good reputation for a long time, even if the client itself is not good at it, it will not be handed over to outsiders.
In the final analysis, it is a question of trust, and trust needs time to precipitate and prove.
"But it's not like I don't really have any tasks here, after all, this is a gathering place for world-class criminals and international criminal organizations, even if the core area of the headquarters of no major organization is here, there are a lot of things that happen and will happen here every day."
"So, I want to know your strength first......" Boss Bao said solemnly.
