Chapter 132: Sheldon, the Tool Man
Locke talked with Mr. Epez for a while, and when the time was almost up, he said goodbye and left, and as soon as he drove out of the manor, he saw a man standing near the gate of the manor.
After seeing each other, Locke raised his vigilance in his heart, because Guo Da's face and iconic bald head were really familiar.
"I'm Arthur, introduced by Damon." The other man came to the window of the car and said a code word to Locke.
"Get in the car first."
Locke gestured to the other party, he didn't expect that Damon's killer friend was still an acquaintance.
The name Arthur is very common, and Locke didn't pay much attention to it when Damon mentioned it, but he didn't expect that this Arthur, nicknamed the mechanic, was the protagonist in the movies he had seen in his previous life.
"The target this time is Gabriel Cordis." Locke reached into his arms and actually pulled out an envelope from the storage space and handed it to the mechanic Arthur.
"This is his basic information, now he is in the New York Police Department prison, his men should also be rescuing him, you see, the deposit and the reward after success Damon will pay you.
If this time is done well, then there are other mission objectives that follow. ”
Arthur nodded, took the envelope, and then got out of the car and left, without saying a word, and Locke drove back home.
According to the information he had just investigated, there were now four main figures in the Cordis family, in addition to Gabriel himself, his own brother and cousin, and then his uncle.
Gabriel Cordis's father had been killed by the enemy years earlier, and it was at this time that the Gabriel brothers took over the family business.
His brother took over the family's main business in northern Mexico, his cousin followed his brother, Gabriel expanded his presence in central Mexico, and his uncle was semi-old.
After meeting with Arthur, Locke instructed Damon to keep an eye on the New York Police Department, and at the same time pay attention to whether there was any change in the local New York gang that cooperated with Gabriel.
Damon was originally from the NYPD and has his own connections here, and according to intelligence, the FBI seems to be negotiating a deal with the NYPD so that the NYPD can hand over Gabriel to them.
The Cordis family's traditional markets in the U.S. include Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, which border Mexico.
The police departments, border inspection teams, and FBIs in these states have more or less informants bribed by the Cordis family, which is also a compulsory course for the dealers on Lao Mo's side.
If you don't have enough internal response, don't think about doing business as a dealer in these places.
But the Cordis family in New York clearly doesn't have much influence.
After Damick was killed, the Cordis family was invited by a local gang in New York to supply supplies, and if they wanted to save people, they had to cooperate with the local gang.
In addition, Vanessa also told Locke a piece of news, that is, a friend she met in Brazil, who was quite familiar with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and Locke had arranged for her to go there first to collect news.
Ciudad Juárez is the most important territory of the Cordez family in northern Mexico, just across the river from the United States, and is also an important channel for the Cordez family's bulk goods.
The information was collected there in preparation for the elimination of the Cordis family and the whereabouts of Gabriel's eldest brother Martin Cordis, cousin Victor Snape and uncle Carlos Cordiz.
At the same time, Locke is also thinking about making sure that he doesn't cause trouble when dealing with them in the future.
The main thing is not to be overexposed to the eyes of the Mexican authorities, a trafficker is killed, and the Mexican officials will not care too much and will not investigate too deeply.
After all, it is all too common for traffickers to kill each other, and it is not uncommon for big dealers to be killed suddenly.
Even those black policemen who were bought by the traffickers may be active when the traffickers are alive, and if the traffickers die, they will only find a way to get rid of the relationship.
For Locke, the main thing is not to provoke the local police excessively, and the other party will catch the clues and find out his head.
Many of the local police must have been bribed by the Cordis family, so it is necessary to prevent these people from jumping out and causing trouble at a critical time.
Once his identity is found, the trouble will not only come from Mexico, but also from the United States, which will make people feel that he has too much trouble and it is inconvenient for Locke to develop his network in the future.
"Locke, there is new news from the New York Police Department, they have reached an agreement with the FBI that they will hand over Gabriel to the FBI, and the specific information is not known for the time being." Damon called.
"Then hurry up and find out the information, and inform Arthur separately so that he can get ready."
Hanging up the phone, Locke, who was standing at the exit of the airport, looked at the George Cooper family and said, "Sure enough, the effect of calling little Shelton's mother was immediate." ”
"You didn't see Sheldon asking for me, and it made me laugh for a long time." Peggy said with a grin, and as for what little Sheldon said at the end, if this matter was not over, she didn't pay any attention to it.
……
"So as long as we sign this document, we're going to get $100,000 a year in consultants?"
George Cooper held the papers, looked at the representatives from the American Lottery Association, and felt a pie-in-the-sky rush.
Until he saw the agreement, he was a little incredulous.
The family is in financial difficulties for various reasons, and the family atmosphere has not been good for a while now.
Unexpectedly, Peggy suddenly called, saying that she could introduce Sheldon Jr. to a lucrative job, and explained in detail why the lottery association set up a consultant position.
To put it bluntly, it is to spend money so that people with sufficient mathematical skills do not disrupt the market, and at the same time co-opt these people to serve the lottery association.
He still believes that Sheldon Jr. can calculate lottery wins, after all, Sheldon Jr. has helped him calculate the winning rate of the football team and design tactics long ago.
Even Sheldon Jr.'s grandmother asked Sheldon Jr. to help calculate the odds of winning and then buy spinach to pay off the debt he owed because of his good gambling.
The consultant fee is generous enough.
The annual income of $100,000 is enough to support the family in a wealthy middle-class life in a place like New York, let alone in the small town where their family lives.
In addition to his surprise now, he also has some regrets, why didn't he think of this method earlier, should he not sign the contract first, and go back and let Sheldon find a lottery ticket to calculate?
The thought went around in my head, and I saw that the representative of the lottery association was staring at him.
George suddenly realized that Sheldon had been noticed by the Lottery Association, and considering the huge influence of the Lottery Association, George Cooper immediately put the idea away.
"This is a consultant fee for me, and it's only because I'm not of legal age that I call a guardian to come and help sign the contract.
The money will also be at your disposal until I reach adulthood, and it should be enough to improve the family's current situation until I am 18 years old. ”
Little Sheldon raised his head next to him and said, "Do you know that the origin of the lottery ......?"
Although his mother forcibly asked Peggy to thank him, which embarrassed little Sheldon, he regained his confidence in the face of the disbelieving eyes of his family.
He is the child who can get the family out of the predicament, and he is the most beautiful boy in the family.
Moreover, Peggy and Rock both have the position of consultant, so he naturally needs to have it so that he will not be thrown away by the two of them.
"Ahem, as long as Sheldon promises not to make any more calculations about lottery winnings in the future, we will pay on time every year, this consultant is for life, and there will be a certain increase in proportion every year.
But if you violate the agreement and make a profit from the calculation of the lottery in private, you will face huge compensation.
If we ask him to help, calculate whether there are possible loopholes in the calculation of the lottery, it is not on the list, and every time you help, you can get additional labor fees......"
The representative of the lottery association explained helplessly, and then glanced at Peggy and Locke, he really didn't expect that an extremely rare super genius would appear in a group one day.
Fortunately, this Sheldon is easier to deal with, and the consultant fee is much cheaper than the other two.
He just wants to get the contract done quickly, and seeing that Sheldon is more foolish, he can also ask someone to review the lottery loopholes in the future, and maybe save some expenses.
From this point of view, Sheldon in front of him may still be a cheap enough tool man.
