Chapter 47: Duplicity
Standing at the door of an antique shop that looked ordinary on the outside, Jian Heng was still scolding the black-hearted U.S. government in his heart, he didn't do anything, he didn't even have to open his mouth, he collected thousands of dollars in taxes into his pocket, and he didn't even squeak for himself!
After calming down, Jian Heng pushed open the door of the antique shop.
"Is there anything I can help you with" As soon as Jian Heng entered the door, a very well-dressed waiter immediately greeted him.
"I'm looking for Mr. White, I have an appointment, my name is Henry Jean," Jian Heng said politely to the waiter.
The waiter glanced at Jian Heng, was stunned for a moment before saying, "You enter through that door, walk along the aisle, and there will be a secretary at the door to receive you."
"Thank you"
After thanking him, Jian Heng walked towards the door pointed by the waiter.
Pushed open the door, a three-meter-wide and seven-eight-meter-long aisle appeared in front of Jian Heng's eyes, the aisle looked a little old, and the oil paintings hanging on the wall were also realistic classicist styles.
But what kind of person is Jian Heng, he was originally a mixed auction company, and he is not an expert in oil painting, but the basic quality can still be seen.
The paintings on the wall are a bit old, but the level of the painter is not very good, don't look at the realistic writing, it is very realistic, but such a level of painters can be said to be everywhere in the West, it is easy to catch a photo-level character, pure realism unless the famous master, the others are mixed with the accompanying guests.
Turned a ninety-degree angle, walked three or four meters and then turned a three-meter aisle, like a maze turned two or three times, and soon opened up in front of him, a luxurious office space appeared in front of Jian Heng, just sitting in the secretary's hall has a hundred square meters, and a leather sofa is placed in the middle of the hall, which is particularly wide and comfortable, and can wrap the whole person.
This kind of structure is not that the owner can't afford to buy a house with a good structure, but it is specially built in this way, so that the police are coming, so that they have time to escape, and turn left and right, which is also conducive to holding and fighting back, which is all doorway.
The secretary is not young, in her thirties, but she has a lot of charm, at least more eye-catching than Luna and Emma in the gym.
As soon as the secretary looked up and saw Jian Heng coming over, he immediately stood up, folded his hands in front of his stomach, and stood in a very professional posture: "Hello, may I ask how I can help you?" ”
"I'm looking for Whiteson, my name is Henry Jean, I have an appointment," Jian Heng said.
"Hello, Mr. is inside, please just go in directly, Mr. has been waiting for you" The female secretary made a gesture of invitation to Jian Heng when she heard this.
Nodding slightly at the secretary, Jian Heng pushed open the heavy solid wooden door next to the secretary's desk.
"Hi man, long time no see!"
Looking up and seeing someone pushing the door in, White saw the person clearly, stood out from the back of the office with a smile, walked directly to Jian Heng around the desk, and reached out to give Jian Heng a big hug.
Jian Heng smiled and hugged White and patted him lightly on the back.
"I haven't seen you for many years, you're so strong now, what, do you want to be a bodyguard? If you want to do it, I'm short of people here! ”。
After White and Jian Heng hugged each other, they took two steps back, and motioned for Jian Heng to sit on the chair in front of his desk, and he sat back on the chair behind the desk.
Jian Heng smiled: "Don't be kidding, I'm just a little stronger, but what's wrong with your hair?" How did the beautiful cheetah-colored hair that used to be big bald now? ”
"Hair loss!"
White explained very melancholy, then took out a cigar from the cigar box on the table, gestured to Jian Heng, saw Jian Heng waved his hand, he took the cigar tong himself and began to make the cigar.
Don't look at the two talking as if they have been friends for many years, in fact, the two are not even friends, this White is the supervisor of the lumber yard where Jian Heng was trafficked before, and the little foreman who came to throw Jian Heng in the snow to die.
Why, the reality is so wonderful!
Jian Heng didn't have a good impression of him, but compared with the other overseers in Yogiba, the cup was pretty good, and there was a little bottom line in doing things, unlike some overseers, who praised him when he said that the beasts were all praised, he hadn't lived there, he really couldn't think of the dirtiness there, it was beyond the acceptability of normal people, and people who got out of trouble from there would feel that even if they lived a begging life on the street, it was beautiful.
Sometimes the world is so unfair, live a hard life and live a law-abiding life, eat this meal all day and want to have the next meal, and the bad guys, one by one, earn a lot of money, drink wine every day, beautiful chicks fall asleep, and live a life of drunkenness.
White is this kind of person, he has hardly done any righteous deeds, and finally now you look at the mixed people, there are five people and six people! A suit on his body catches up with a normal person's salary for several months. If you don't dig through the old case record, who knows that this sanctimonious-looking man once robbed a convenience store with a gun, stole a car, and killed several people while working as an overseer in a black lumber yard?
The reason why Jian Heng is contacting him now is simple: he is needed!
Or rather, it takes his way to make money!
"How? Ready to follow me? ”
Cup Te didn't know that Jian Heng had never looked up to him in his heart, Cup Te had always felt good about himself, not only before and now, but also thought that Jian Heng was running out of options, and wanted to follow him to get out of the way.
"No, I heard you talk about your business last time, and I don't know if you can do it now?" Jian Heng asked.
White glanced at Jian Heng: "What, are you going to do this business?" ”
Hearing Jian Heng say this, White couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, the way to make money was the foundation of survival for him, and he wouldn't let Jian Heng know no matter what.
White is sure that he appreciates Jian Heng a little, but he appreciates Jian Heng who is willing to concentrate on being a horse boy for himself, not Jian Heng who wants to pull the flag himself.
When Jian Heng heard him ask, he didn't know what White was thinking, so he asked quietly: "Is there still money to be made with goods now?" ”
Hearing the delivery, White's heart instantly let go: "So what you said about this?" Of course, it made money, but it was also risky, the customs gang had the same nose as a dog, not to mention that my supplier lost three pieces this month! ”
Smuggling this thing through customs is the most dangerous and the most loss-making, but it is not the most profitable, and the most profitable is not a transit merchant like White, but a jewelry company on the market.
Speaking of this, I have to say what Jian Heng's 'night grass' is, smuggling is naturally smuggling, but Jian Heng does not touch drugs or arms, and chooses the path of smuggling diamonds.
In the United States, every diamond that comes in from a regular channel on the market will have a unique code, which can be traced back to the source by a single look-up of the number.
It's a pity that the customs tax on luxury goods is too high, and there is a profit gap, so there is a smuggling road.
Diamonds are bought cheaply by shippers in the origin, and the shippers usually buy them in the hands of African warlords, regions or groups that are not recognized by the mainstream society, and the less popular the world's mainstream origin, the greater the profit in the middle.
The shipper gets the diamond, bypasses customs, evades heavy taxes, and gets into the hands of people like White, who then puts a forged number on the diamond and sells it to a jeweler for a few percent of the market value. In this way, a complete black chain of diamond sales is formed.
It is important to note here that middlemen like White will not use fake diamond serial numbers, they all use multiple numbers, and one number may give a dozen or so diamonds of similar color, especially when the diamond color quality is very average, it is very hidden.
"I want to try to do it, I'm short of money, try my luck!" Jian Heng said.
When he heard Jian Heng say this, he couldn't help frowning: "The danger is very great, you have to think about it, and the first time you take this road, your psychological quality must be very good, let me tell you this, the loss rate of newcomers is much higher than that of veterans, and the success of half a CD is not, all because of nervousness, and it was seen through at a glance when passing the customs."
Now that Jian Heng knows, White has always said that he appreciates how unreliable he is, if he really appreciates it, then he has to ask how much money he lacks now, and if he can come out, he will take it out and take it out, but this one, on the surface, looks concerned, but in fact, that's it.
"I'll give it a try!" Jian Heng said very resolutely.
"Then are you going to bring the goods, or do you want to deliver the goods yourself?" White asked, thinking for a moment.
Jian Heng didn't do this before, how did he know the twists and turns here, so he asked, "What's the difference?" ”
White smiled: "Naturally, there is a difference in how much money is made, and the person who brings the goods is also responsible for bypassing the customs with the goods, and the goods are picked up from the seller and shipped to the United States, and the more things are naturally more profitable."
"Transport! I also prepared a little money," Jian Heng said.
White laughed and said, "Tell me, how many goods are you going to take for the first time?" ”
"One hundred thousand!" Jian Heng said.
As soon as he heard about the hundred thousand, White chuckled.
For bringing goods, 100,000 rough diamonds is a lot, but for transportation, this 100,000 is not enough to see.
100,000 is the largest amount that Jian Heng can take out now, of course, there is more money, Jian Heng doesn't dare to invest it for the first time, the number of 100,000 is the price in Jian Heng's heart to explore the path, not big or small, just right.
It's just that Jian Heng doesn't know that there is always a gap between imagination and reality, and his 100,000 yuan can't even make a splash compared to others.
"Where are you going?" Cupt asked.
"You are familiar with me, I am a novice, of course I listen to your arrangement," Jian Heng said.
White thought for a moment and said, "Well, I have a few acquaintances, if they take you to pick up the goods next time, I can't guarantee who will take you with me, if there is any news, how about I inform you?" ”
"No problem, the matter is over, let's have dinner together tonight?" Jian Heng stretched out his hand and looked at his watch, pretending to be very warmly invited.
Jian Heng didn't feel that he owed White anything, he also made money by shipping the goods himself, so don't talk about any kindness or wrongness, some people only deserve to talk about money with him.
White was not interested, so he said, "I have something to do tonight."
Just like that, the two duplicitous so-called old friends got up and went out while laughing, each going back to their own homes and looking for their own mothers.
