At a small private airport west of Santa Barbara, Chu stood next to a small plane and took out a small jewelry box from his arms.

Zhang Tianzhi, who handed him over, said, "After my plane takes off, you will go to the airport and take a charter flight to London."

Then he gave it to Margaret and told her that I would fly to London to spend Christmas with her. ”

In the jewelry box, it contained a yellow diamond bracelet that I bought at Tiffany & Co. for $50,000.

lest Margaret's little chick, who hadn't seen her for more than a month, suddenly flew from London to Santa Barbara to look for herself on the ranch.

At the same time, Chu Xiangqian flew to Panama City this time, and also planned to transport the iron ore collected in the novice village in the past two months to England by freighter.

6,000 tons a day, 180,000 tons a month, at the price of $11.2 a ton at this time, $2.01 million a month.

If the price had remained the same, it would have been $24.19 million a year.

Chu Xiangqian will definitely not give up this business, after all, this is a net profit of 24.2 million a year.

And if it is not sold for a few years or several years, it has been accumulated in the warehouse of the novice village, and the quantity is too large in the future, but it will not be so easy to sell.

And the price of iron ore has been very stable, and it has only risen from about $11 to $4 or $50 a ton after a few decades.

It's better to empty it every two or three months.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian shipped iron ore to London, which was also a helpless situation in which England had to import all kinds of raw materials as an island country.

Even if England's own coal and iron ore could still be mined at this time, most of England's iron ore was poor.

Not only are the reserves only enough to be consumed until the 70s, but the refining cost of poor ore is also very high.

The 70% iron ore produced in the novice village is a high-quality resource that will never be given up for England's steel mills.

Coupled with the relationship of the royal family, the 360,000 tons of iron ore saved in two months, that is, worth 4.02 million, about 1 million pounds, must be no problem to sell.

If you are in trouble, it is a big deal to give Philips a commission, and he will definitely be very active in helping him sell this batch of iron ore.

By the way, tell the royal family that he can really get a large amount of iron ore.

Zhang Tianzhi nodded, although he didn't know where Chu Xiangqian flew secretly, but since he needed to help him cover by himself, it was naturally a very important and confidential matter.

Chu Qianqian got on the plane, nodded to the pilot, the plane started quickly, slowly glided towards the runway, and then flew south.

After leaving the sea area of the United States, after the pilot knew that Chu Xiangqian would also fly the plane, he simply signaled that he could try to control the plane by himself.

When flying in the sky, it's actually easier than driving.

Chu Xiangqian was not timid at all, and actually drove all the way to Panama.

However, if you land, the pilot will not risk his own life, and as a pilot, he naturally trusts his own technology more.

After the plane landed, Chu Xiangqian took out a few $20 bills from his pocket and handed them to the pilot, which was considered a tip.

Then let him wait for his call in Panama City before flying back to the United States.

There are tips, and there are salaries and accommodation fees calculated on a daily basis, and the pilot naturally has no opinion.

Chu Xiangqian took his Peruvian passport, and after leaving the airport, he hailed a taxi, and then took the car to the hotel, commanding the, and found the hotel where Ichiro Matsuno was staying to investigate.

After making sure that there was no problem, Chu Xiangqian, who had already stayed in another hotel, called Ichiro Matsuno from the public phone downstairs of the hotel.

put $9.1 million in cash in the hotel suite, and Chu Xiangqian went to the luxury private room by himself, drinking beer while staring at Ichiro Matsuno who rushed over to collect the money through the.

The ninja's anti-tracking ability is indeed very strong, and along the way, behind Ichiro Matsuno, there was nothing abnormal, and naturally no one followed him.

However, Matsuno didn't take the money away this time, it was too many and too heavy for 8 money bags.

He had to make several trips back and forth alone to get the $9.1 million out of the room and in the car.

But during this period, the ghost knows whether the money placed in the car will be stolen.

It's better to call Frank of the Chicago mafia directly to this hotel.

Wait for the money to be handed over to Frank, and then make it clear, whether Frank will encounter a robbery after that, the loss has nothing to do with Chu Xiangqian and Matsuno.

In a word, before the confiscation of the money, if there was a problem with the money, Chu Xiangqian was responsible.

That is, the Chicago Mafia had to pay $9.1 million.

But if Frank collects the money, what happens after that has nothing to do with Chu Xiangqian.

More than an hour later, Chu Qianqian looked through the and saw a car parked at the door of the hotel, and Frank got out of the car with 2 men and walked into the hotel quickly.

Then I saw a man on a motorcycle, parked outside a coffee shop not far from the hotel.

I sat in a seat outside the store, ordered a cup of coffee, and kept my eyes on the hotel door.

Chu Xiangqian suddenly suspected that this person was eyeing Frank.

I got up and walked to the phone, and I didn't rush to call.

Instead, let the fly to a windowsill in the building opposite the $9.1 million suite, wait for Frank to knock on the door, and then enter the suite alone.

When he was hugging Matsuno Ichiro, he picked up the phone and dialed the phone in the room where Matsuno was.

The phone rang suddenly, startling Matsuno and Frank.

Matsuno frowned and thought for a few seconds, and quickly realized that it was definitely the boss who called.

And something must have happened.

Ignoring Frank, who was looking vigilant and suspicious, he hurriedly picked up the phone and connected it.

Then Matsuno's face was first shocked, and then he scolded in his heart.

After hanging up the phone, I hurriedly walked to the window and hid behind the curtain to look down.

Seeing this, Frank immediately understood that there might be an accident, and hurriedly walked over, but was stopped by Matsuno's outstretched hand.

When he heard that he was being followed, the man was still staring at the hotel from his street seat in a coffee shop not far from the hotel.

Frank also carefully hid behind the curtain and looked down, and sure enough, he didn't look for long, and found that ten or twenty meters away, there was indeed a person with a motorcycle helmet in his hand, sitting on a street seat drinking coffee.

Ichiro Matsuno looked at Frank and asked, "There are two choices now, or, I transfer the money with me, re-agree on a time, and you will find me to take the money again?"

Or, do you take someone through the back door and take the money directly in the hotel car?

If you choose the first option, we will charge an additional commission. Not much, only 20%. ”

Frank almost scolded the export, 20% of the 9.1 million is $1.82 million.

This money is exchanged for in the United States, but it is easy to say.

The money that can be shipped to Panama City is used to buy flour, and the profit when it is shipped to the country is several times the profit.

Now $1.82 million less is equivalent to making millions, or even seven or eight million dollars, less.

And even if he agrees, Russell, a big man in Chicago, may suspect that he is doing ghosts.

But letting Frank leave with the money now may not only endanger his own life, but he is now also suspecting that there are likely to be traitors among the two people he brought and the driver waiting downstairs in the car.

So even if you know in advance that someone is following you, you can call someone to come and kill the person who is following you.

Or let two of his men stop the man, and he and the driver will leave first with the money.

But if there is a traitor, the devil knows if he will be in danger again.

At this time, Frank was not afraid of the Drug Enforcement Administration, after all, the purpose of these people was to make meritorious contributions.

Catching themselves and the flour merchants was their main purpose.

But if you encounter black eating black, or other gangsters targeting you, it will be really dangerous.

Fortunately, Frank's mind spun quickly, and he hurriedly said to Ichiro Matsuno, "20% is fine, but I want to pay for it with food." ”

Matsuno Ichiro thought about it, since the boss has been buying a large amount of grain recently, maybe he would like to use grain to deduct it.

It's just that this matter is a private decision, and Ichiro Matsuno can't make up his mind.

If you think wrongly, you will be punished.

Seeing that he frowned and didn't speak, Frank thought he was sitting on the ground and raising the price, and said with dissatisfaction, "I'll get you $2.1 million in food."

Together with the 3.9 million that has already been shipped to Panama City, a total of 164,000 tons of wheat will be given to you. ”

Ichiro Matsuno didn't hesitate this time, nodded and said, "We'll only wait for three days, and after this deal." The next trading point will be a different place.

I'll let you know where it is. ”

Frank didn't have a problem with that at all.

Since someone can keep an eye on themselves, it means that Panama City is no longer safe.

If you don't change places, you're a fool.

However, it is too much trouble to stay away from Colombia.

After all, flour merchants only want to see cash, not go to Europe and Asia to collect money.

In Panama transactions, not only can the money be easily deposited in the local bank, but the people of the United States are not afraid of checking it, and the people of the United States do not have the right to check the banks on the offshore island at this time.

Or transport it back to Colombia, you don't need to buy the border police, you can take it away by speedboat, and you can reach the coast of Colombia in an hour or two.

Then it will be transported to Medellín by car, and three or four hours will be enough.

Frank thought for a moment and said, "If you can, it's better to be in Central America." Otherwise, it won't make sense for us to ask you to launder your money. ”

When Ichiro Matsuno heard this, he also frowned, and thought for a while before saying, "I won't talk about this beforehand, and I'll talk about it after this pass." ”

Frank had no choice but to nod.

As for whether Ichiro Matsuno was a thief shouting to catch a thief, it was he who sent someone to pretend to follow him, and then wanted to swallow the $9.1 million in cash.

Frank is not worried about this, he really wants to hack this money, and he can just play missing.

Even if he and Russell knew that this group of people were islanders, they didn't know who they were, and they didn't even know where to look for them.

So after three transactions, to be honest, Frank and Russell actually have a lot of trust in Ichiro Matsuno, knowing that these people are doing long-term business.

Besides, they need food, too.

Of course, even if there is a degree of trust, it is impossible to increase the transaction amount every time.

10 million people are not moved, and it is difficult to ensure that 30 million, 50 million, or even 100 million US dollars will be in hand, and they will abide by the rules and credit.

Therefore, Frank and Russell actually thought about it a long time ago, and the maximum transaction amount each time is 10 million.

When Frank tried to leave, Ichiro Matsuno stopped him.

I searched in the suite, but I couldn't find a duffel bag, so I simply poured a bag of money on the bed.

Then he put a pillow in the empty bag containing the money and handed it to Frank.

The corners of Frank's mouth twitched, but he hesitated for a few seconds before taking the bag from Matsuno's hand.

Although it will be dangerous to go out with a bag, if you leave empty-handed, maybe the person who is following will target the hotel instead of continuing to follow you.

In that case, it would not be so easy to transfer $9.1 million.

Gritting his teeth, he nodded at Matsuno, and then listened to Matsuno remind, "Be careful of the people around you." ”

Frank understands this, and even Pablo, who sells flour, is now the target of his suspicions.

After all, if he were Pablo, he would also want to trade directly with the people in the underground bank, so as not to need the Chicago mafia to intervene, which is easier to expose and at the same time, he has to be made a fortune by the mafia.

Thinking about this, Frank suddenly felt that maybe it was really Pablo's people who were following him.

It's just that I don't have any evidence.

But when you think about it, it's not hard to prove it.

All you have to do is see if the motorcycle rider who tracks you as you leave with a bag with a pillow to stay and keep an eye on the hotel.

I wanted to remind the islanders in front of me, but when the words came to his lips, Frank suddenly swallowed the words.

Take the opportunity to see how powerful these people in the underground bank, in addition to holding a channel for laundering money in their hands, are in terms of force and intelligence.

Nodding at Ichiro Matsuno, he went out with his bag and left with his two men.

When he left, the phone in the suite rang again, and Ichiro Matsuno told everything in the room.

Listening to Chu Xiangqian's instructions, he made some disguises, and left the suite and walked directly to the roof of the hotel.

As long as you hide until night, you can casually climb down from the roof, and even use the job you carry with you to slide from the roof of the hotel to the roof of the building next to the hotel and leave.

However, because he made his own decisions and traded the money in the hotel, Ichiro Matsuno was still scolded by Chu Xiangqian.

Fortunately, because of this, Chu Xiangqian could easily contact him.

Otherwise, even if the had been following Matsuno, who had left with $9.1 million, even if someone had also found out that someone was following Frank, it would be difficult for Chu Xiangqian to contact him by phone.

Secretly scolding that no mobile phone is troublesome, and in the future, you still have to build a few walkie-talkies with a communication range of several kilometers.

Then call in the island's Chinese language, even if someone listens to the radio waves in Panama City like London, it is difficult to know what the monitored voice is saying in a short time.

By the time a translator is found, the deal will already be completed.

And as long as you don't mention money, flour, guns, and the like, the person listening doesn't necessarily know that it's a money laundering transaction.

When Matsuno Ichiro appeared on the roof of the restaurant, Chu Xiangqian immediately went downstairs, opened the door of the suite, and put all the 9.1 million into the warehouse of the novice village.

Later, after seeing Frank's car leave, the person who was following him did not leave, but walked quickly into the café and made a phone call.

Chu Xiangqian immediately guessed that this person's target was most likely not Frank, but the person who connected with him.

Fake, Chu Xiangqian scolded directly, but he was not worried at all in his heart.
