Chapter 117: I came to deliver money
This is the end of a meeting, and in a few simple words, everyone has decided what they will do in the future.
There are no contracts, no witnesses, and no alliances.
In fact, that's the real way of doing things in northern Myanmar.
Let's put it this way, even if you want to open a Meiyijia and want to get a piece of land in Bangkang, Mengka, Wanhai and other places, you can't sign a contract.
What? You signed a contract with a warlord?
Believe it or not, the next second, he will put a gun to your head and force you to eat the contract?
You don't eat beef? Eat for you!
What's the right thing to do?
The correct way to do is to find the best hotel in the city and invite the local boss to have a meal, and then say to him in a good voice, "Oh, General, you are a big hero, and if you leak a little thing in your hand, we will have enough to eat, and in the future, I will make money and use the name of the general to engage in charity, which can be regarded as a contribution to us."
The warlords in northern Myanmar are all philanthropic and can basically talk about it 100 percent, but the division is uncertain.
Of course, although I am not sure, it will not be too little-ββ if it is too little, no one else will open a supermarket or a hotel in the future.
On the whole, this negotiation is actually the same, the Seventh Brigade just wants to open the boss of Meiyijia.
Everyone didn't care about how to divide the benefits after the real fight.
The Seventh Brigade is not qualified to talk about it, and the Wa side is too lazy to talk.
Anyway, I have more than 20,000 people in my hands, and if I am not satisfied, I will trample you to death.
They all have their own ghosts, they all look at it while walking, hide their hands in their pockets, and tell each other that they have money in their hands, but everyone knows whether it is money or guns.
It's just that if you pull out the gun quickly, you can turn the gun in the other party's hand into money.
Anyway, the meal was finally eaten without danger, and after sending away He Bupa and Bao Xiaomei, Chen Shen sat opposite Peng Xucheng with a golden knife and stretched out his right hand to him.
"What?"
Peng Xucheng asked inexplicably.
"What are you doing with delivery? What about my car? What about my big Marauder? β
"You drive back by yourself? Can't I send you home tomorrow? You pay the money first, this is the company's account, and if you don't see the money, you won't deliver it. β
"How much?"
Chen Shen asked vigilantly.
Before that, he really hadn't asked Peng Xucheng for the price, because the temptation of a Marauder mine protection and anti-ambush vehicle was too great, and the Humvee was in front of him
It's not a younger brother, but the two do have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The Paramount Marauder's armor protection is not very strong, it meets the NATO level 3 standard, and the armor plate that is not too thick has a double-layer design, which has the same effect as the gap armor, and can withstand 7.62Γ51mm armor-piercing shells from 30 meters away.
However, the vehicle is very easy to install with additional armor, and when strengthened, it can completely withstand 12.7 mm of conventional ammunition.
In general, the protection capacity of such a car body is not strong, but it is completely sufficient in northern Myanmar.
More important is its lightning and explosives protection capabilities.
The car can withstand an explosion of 14 kg of TNT under any wheel, or an explosion of 8 kg of TNT under the belly, and the V-shaped bottom + double armor + explosion-proof seats greatly improve the survival rate of the occupants.
Even in the company's own tests, it was able to withstand metal-jet armor-piercing projectiles fired by the RPG-7.
ββ
In other words, it can cope with the common ambush scenarios in northern Myanmar.
On top of that, it can seat up to 10 people, which is enough to carry a fully functional tactical squad, making it perfect for small, difficult missions in the future.
Therefore, as soon as he heard Peng Xucheng say yes, Chen Shen immediately decided to buy it, without thinking about how much it would cost.
But for now. When it's time to talk about money, he has to be cautious.
"$1.8 million."
Grab it. When I'm stupid? The price of a Marauder is 450,000 US dollars, and you want me 1.8 million? β
Chen Shen is really not deceiving Peng Xucheng, because he knows very well that although there has been no exact price for this car, the price it gave when it appeared on the British TOP GEAR program in 2010 was 450,000 US dollars.
This is after the price includes bulletproof seats, Harris communication and navigation equipment, emergency medical and other options.
Now you have one more weapon station, and you will receive 1.8 million for an extra $200,000 for the sky?
Seeing his reaction, Peng Xucheng also sighed helplessly.
"1.8 million is already a conscience price, if it weren't for our follow-up cooperation, let alone 1.8 million, you wouldn't be able to buy this thing in northern Myanmar if it doubled."
"It's not expensive to buy, it's expensive to ship, the relationship between all parties must be taken care of, can it be spread out evenly without spending money?"
"1.8 million, if you think it's high, pay a fixed price, I'll discuss it with the boss."
If you can make a counteroffer, you can do it.
Chen Shen nodded with satisfaction, and then said:
"800,000."
"Why don't I give it to you for free?"
"Is that true?"
What do you think? Make a good bid, don't joke with me. β
Chen Shen scratched his head, thought for a while, and said:
"Otherwise, I'll show you a way to make money, and then use this way to exchange this car?"
"Nope."
Peng Xu replied categorically, while Chen Shen shook his head regretfully.
You can't catch it when the wealth throws it on your head, if it's a jackal, at least he'll ask a mouth.
"Then 1.5 million, no matter how high it is, I can't afford it."
Chen Shen's price is also based on the funds in his hands.
The operating cost of 2.6 million, and the follow-up to replace the whole team with body armor and purchase night vision devices, there is really not much left, and 150 is the most money he can take out.
"1.6 million, I'll help you talk. If you drive away first, if you really can't talk about it, you will deduct it from your future income. β
"Can't it be deducted from your future income?"
Chen Shen asked without giving up.
"If I really give it to you at this price, I won't have any future income."
"Don't mess with me, really, Wanfeng Group can't compare to Chesri, they have a lot of money, we"
"You said you even have helicopter gunships! By the way, are gunships sold? What model is it? β
"If you sell a civil machine, you can't afford it. Okay, that's it, 1.6 million, I'll talk about it! β
Peng Xucheng is reluctant to entangle more, compared with the jackal, he is indeed a calculating businessman.
Chen Shen didn't really expect to turn everyone into "allies", and a simple alliance of interests was actually not bad.
1.6 million is 1.6 million, time will tell how well the money is spent.
After a brief discussion and determined the handover method, Chen Shen and Peng Xucheng left the Vientiane Hotel together, and then he went to the hospital to see Bao Qi and Shi Dakai first, and gave them some packed meals.
It can't be said to be buying people's hearts, it's just doing it casually
By the time he got home from all this, it was nearly 10 p.m.
Lin He, Li Gang, White Dog, and the 4 henchmen who have no bad habits and never use drugs arranged by White Dog live with Chen Shen and live in the original villa of Chen Shenhe, but in the past two days, White Dog took people to the Chesli camp to train and came back late, so there are only Lin He and Li Gang at home, as well as the 4 PSC mercenaries sent by the wood ghost to be responsible for security.
Although the situation in the city is basically stable now, and the remnants of the Chen family are almost dead, there will be a stunned young man who wants to take the position from where the security is not right, so the internal security is still very important.
Chen Shen is also familiar with this piece, the problem is that there is no one under him, so he had to buy the service of the wood ghost-ββ fortunately, the price is not expensive, the total price is 10,000 dollars a month, which is completely acceptable.
ββ
And, he soon realized how much the money was well spent.
Not long after he sat down on the sofa, and before he could say a few words to Li Bang Linhe, there was a roar of Shan outside the door, followed by a series of gun loads, dog barking, and unfamiliar Chinese shouts.
Chen Shen immediately grabbed the body armor on the coffee table and put it on, then picked up HK416 with his left hand, pinched a shock bomb that never left his body with his right hand, and moved sideways to the danger corner on the left side of the living room to observe the situation.
If a gunshot rang out, he would not hesitate to throw a stun grenade to block the enemy's attack, and then evacuate from the tunnels of this villa.
On the other side of the living room, Li Bang had already held the 81 bar and controlled the window on the other side.
Only Lin He looked a little overwhelmed, and in a panic, he ran to the corner and squatted down, pointing his gun at the door.
If this is shot, the ricochet he shoots may be able to collapse Chen Shen.
But fortunately, Chen Shen's worries were unnecessary.
After a few moments, the shouting of both sides ceased, and was replaced by a series of inquiries and answers.
From the conversation, Chen Shen heard the identity of the person who came.
Bao Xiaomei.
It's a big night, and I didn't say it in advance, so I sent it here?
Chen Shen walked to the door suspiciously, and his hand naturally left the trigger, but the safety was still open.
"Mr. Shipwreck, your security here is a little too sensitive, aren't you?"
Bao Xiaomei completely ignored the bodyguard who was blocking in front of her, and walked straight towards Chen Shen.
Chen Shen waved his hand, and the security personnel withdrew, and he himself walked over to greet him.
ββ
Although I don't know what Bao Xiaomei is going to do, at least she should not be hostile, so there is no need for her to be too blunt and distant, which is not conducive to her subsequent development on the Wa side.
"The situation is still tense now, and it is also for my own safety to be sensitive-Miss Bao, is there something wrong with me?"
Chen Shen replied.
"Go in and say?"
Bao Xiaomei tilted her head slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
Chen Shen didn't say much, put Bao Xiaomei and her bodyguards into the living room, and then took off his body armor, put down his gun, and sat opposite Bao Xiaomei.
He had already guessed the other party's intentions, and he didn't plan to entangle too much with this woman, so he said bluntly:
"Miss Bao, I'm going to say something unpleasant in front of me."
"We just met Brigade Commander He together today, if you want to win me over now, it is completely unruly."
"No matter how high the price you offer, it's impossible for me to accept it."
"So, you don't have to speak."
"But if you just have nothing to do here, then I am very welcome -ββ Chen Shenhe has collected some good wine, you can have a drink or two, and it can be considered fun."
Chen Shen's words were very cautious, and they did not leave Bao Xiaomei any room for maneuver.
In fact, it's a self-protection strategy.
There are always people who feel that the more they are attached to the big forces, the safer they will be.
But in fact, such so-called "security" is also based on one's own strength exceeding a certain threshold.
For example, if Chen Shen is not able to confront the Seventh Brigade head-on, then it is impossible for him to abandon the Seventh Brigade and go directly to the Wa State, because this will undoubtedly attract the revenge of the predecessor and will also lead to the distrust of the incumbent.
Historically, the people who did this kind of operation basically ended up with nothing, which can be regarded as a lesson from the past.
And sure enough, after hearing his words, Bao Xiaomei was not displeased, but showed some praise.
She spoke:
"Mr. Shipwreck, you are as cautious and steady as the others say."
"But don't worry, I'm sure I'm not going to do anything that breaks the rules."
"This time, I really didn't say hello to Brigade Commander He in advance, mainly because it was too late."
"But tomorrow morning at the latest, I will tell him the truth about today's itinerary."
"So, you don't have to worry about you being suspicious of the Seventh Brigade because of this-ββ it's just a normal visit."
Hearing this, Chen Shen's tense spirit relaxed slightly.
His stereotype of the Bao family has almost formed an ideological steel seal, is he really afraid that Bao Xiaomei will do something brainless, and when the time comes, do you say to kill or not?
killed, and broke with the Wa State; If you don't kill, you will have to shake your heels with great difficulty.
But fortunately, although Bao Xiaomei inherited her father's consistent style in the way of doing things, she also inherited her father's brain.
So, he spoke:
"That's greatβbut Miss Bao can't really just want to have an extra drink with me when she comes over this time, right?"
"What if I say yes?"
Bao Xiaomei's eyes fluttered, but Chen Shen was unmoved.
Beautiful women will lie, and that is in Huaxia; In northern Myanmar, the vast majority of beautiful women who can still live cleanly and well can kill
"If it's really just drinking, I'm afraid I'll have to ask my friend to accompany me."
"I can't drink it-ββ I'm allergic to alcohol."
As soon as these words came out, Bao Xiaomei's eyes immediately widened, and a stunned look appeared on her face.
What the hell is an alcohol allergy?
Can you still use such perfunctory reasons to reject others?
She opened her mouth slightly, trying to say something, but swallowed it eventually.
It seems that this shipwreck is really not in the oil and salt, and it is not so simple to pull him in.
After a few seconds of pause, she suddenly smiled again.
"Mr. Shipwreck, your spirit is a little too tense."
"But since you can't let go of your vigilance against me and the Wa State, then it's better for us to talk about business and speak publicly."
"I have a short-term assignment that needs the right people to carry it out."
"It won't take up too much of your time, and it won't delay our big things."
"And, it pays well."
"How's that, interested?"
"Of course."
Chen Shen replied without hesitation, how could a mercenary not get along with money?
"That's fine."
"The location is near Mengyang, and we need to crack down on a gang of cross-border drug smugglers, who set off from Xiaomengla and took a detour through Mengyang to Badabrang, with the aim of transporting drugs to the north."
"And our goal is to keep them out of the border before they cross the border."
"This is a very righteous work, and the reason why the Wa State cannot do it themselves is purely because of the sensitivity of the position."
"You know, it's close to the border between Meng Yang and Xiao Mengla, and it's still not very convenient."
"But if it's a mercenary, you don't have to think about it."
Understood, share worries for the north.
Chen Shen nodded slightly, basically confirming the authenticity of this task.
But then, he asked:
"Miss Bao, as far as I know, there are also several mature mercenary groups active near Meng Yang, why don't you just look for them?"
"Compared to us, they are more familiar with the local environment and much less difficult to carry out the task."
"Since there is a powerful mercenary group in front of me, why should I look for someone else?"
Bao Xiaomei's eyes were full of sincerity, and she continued:
"Of course, as you said, I can also send the task to the Lion Corps in Meng Yang's territory, they are very professional and powerful, and they are fully capable of this mission."
"But the problem is, they have just been defeated at your hands, so it can be said that their vitality is bad, and it will obviously take longer to recover."
"I've contacted them, and they're not accepting new assignments for the time being."
"So right now, you're the best choice."
Absolutely irrefutable reasons.
Bao Xiaomei is very confident in her own set of words-ββ of course, she didn't ask about the current situation of the Lion Corps, this is not something that her identity needs to care about.
The reason why I said this was just to reassure Chen Shen.
As long as Chen Shen takes over this task, as long as he enters Meng Yang and leaves the sight of the Seventh Brigade for a legitimate reason, then he will have much more room to operate.
When the time comes, whether you want to find a way to win over or simply buy it directly, it is a good choice.
Even as long as Chen Shen appeared there, he could actually be regarded as having knocked a crack in his relationship with the Seventh Brigade
No matter how clever and clever he is about this shipwreck, he can't figure it out so quickly, right?
And just as she expected, Chen Shen immediately agreed.
"No problem - what about the pay?"
"$100,000, that's the market price. The other party only has . How many people? β
Bao Xiaomei looked at the bodyguard on the side, who added:
"22 people, no heavy weapons, just lightly armed smugglers."
"Yes, I'll take the task."
Chen Shen replied without hesitation.
"Very good! Hopefully our first cooperation will be successfully completed. β
Bao Xiaomei stretched out her hand to shake hands with Chen Shen, and while letting go, her fingers stayed for a moment longer, intentionally or unintentionally.
She then continued:
"So, Mr. Shipwreck, when are you going to Mengyang? Maybe we can go the same way. β
Chen Shen shook his head.
"No, I'm not going, I have something else to do."
"Huh?"
Bao Xiaomei was stunned.
"I'm afraid it's not what we're looking for, you know, what we need is a really strong team."
She still wanted to struggle, but before she could speak, Chen Shen interrupted him.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely true to what you just said."
"I'll let the Lions go over - by the way, they're part of the Dongfeng Corps now."
When the words fell, Bao Xiaomei's expression changed instantly.
Chen Shen looked at the tangled, annoyed and helpless expression on her delicate face, and suddenly felt a little funny.
I said what did you send, it turned out to be sending money.
