Chapter 622 Remuneration(2/2)
Strength cannot be equated with ability!
Stander and his accomplices have a military background behind him and seem to be strong. However, it may be nothing to bully An Liangtang with this kind of strength, but if you want to destroy Cao Bin and An Liangtang like the Jianghu gang, it will involve whether Stander and his gang can play a role in their strength.
Conley Ballmer is pessimistic about this issue and is not optimistic that Stander can deal with Cao Bin.
When discussing this issue with his father, Conley Ballmer adapted his father's original plan because of this. At that time, he thought that the adopted plan would make them, Ballmer and his son invincible. However, after getting on the train, Conley Ballmer vaguely felt that even though the plan had been adjusted, it was still not perfect.
Stander is likely to be unable to beat Cao Bin, and once he loses, his father and son will inevitably be involved. With the rule that the gangs in the martial arts world will revenge, Cao Bin will definitely come to ask for an explanation.
Can a father and son deal with a genius who even Bill Ryan cannot deal with?
Conley Ballmer couldn't help but sigh, closed the book, stood up and stood in front of the car window.
Outside the window, the winter is bright and the breeze is cool, and it is a good weather. In such a good weather, people should have a very good mood. A good mood not only needs to be set off by a good weather, but also needs to have a comfortable life as the basis. Conley Ballmer's life is already very comfortable. Although he is troubled by insufficient supply, this problem is not unique to the father and son. The opium merchants split from Bill Lane, as well as other opium merchants that have never belonged to Bill Lane, are suffering from insufficient supply.
This trouble is not unsolvable. As long as you survive this period of time, when the new goods from South America are produced next year, this trouble will no longer exist. And at this time, it is very good to get the 200 tons of goods from Kingsoft, but it is not a pity if you can't get it. Why do you have to take the risk of touching Cao Bin's plague god?
Why do you have to worry about yourself? Is it so important to kill Cao Bin and establish prestige among Bill Lane's old subordinates? Is it necessary to exchange your own danger for that little extra benefit?
Conley Ballmer asked himself a series of questions, and these questions piled up together, not confusing him more, but gradually calmed down and woke him up.
You can't provoke that plague god!
Conley Ballmer first set a principle for himself.
The snowstorm in Kingsoft raged all night, while the train Conley Ballmer was riding in the wilderness for a whole day. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that the train restarted, but the speed was quite slow.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, the blizzard that had been raging all night finally stopped. Stander pushed the door open and walked out of the barracks.
The snow outside the building was three feet deep. The soldiers of the Federal Navy had been mobilized and were busy clearing the snow on the road. Stander comfortably did a set of chest expansion exercises, took a deep breath of fresh air outside, and then slowly exhaled the dirty air in his chest.
There is no reason why he doesn't feel refreshed and comfortable.
Yesterday evening, just as the snowstorm was approaching, he received a telegram from Mr. Ballmer in New York, informing Stand that he had entrusted his son Conley Ballmer as his plenipotentiary to board the train to Kingsoft.
The train from New York to Kingsoft takes five days and five nights, and the unexpected blizzard is likely to extend Conley Ballmer's journey for another one or two days, but what? Mr. Ballmer has informed Stand of his transaction conditions in the telegram. If he simply trades goods, the price will be reduced to one ounce and twelve cents, and as long as the goods arrive in New York, the full payment can be settled. If Cao Bin and Dong Biao can be killed, Mr. Ballmer promised that he would pay six cents more per ounce.
Calculated at the price of twelve cents per ounce, the value of this batch of goods will reach more than 840,000 US dollars. Even if more than 40,000 freight is removed, there will be a huge profit of 800,000 US dollars. This is a pretty good result and is completely acceptable. If Cao Bin and Dong Biao can be eliminated, it will be an extra profit of 420,000 US dollars, and its temptation is also extremely huge.
If you change your mind, even if you take out 200,000 US dollars to find a killer, you can still get 220,000 in vain after you succeed. How can you not tick your heart like this?
But Stander couldn't make the decision. He had no way to find a killer who could reach or even exceed Larson's level. Such things must be relied on Cooper.
Since receiving a telegram from Mr. Ballmer, Stander tried to call Cooper. Perhaps due to the impact of the blizzard, the phone still failed to get through.
These small setbacks did not affect Stander's mood. He kicked his legs, made several sets of boxing moves, and then walked along the road that the soldiers had just cleared out to the beach. The sea was still blue, and the earth was covered with silver. Under the reflection of the blue, the silvery condom of the earth seemed more enchanting, and against the backdrop of a vast silvery, the blue of the sea seemed deeper.
Just as I was enjoying this wonderful and refreshing experience, I chased behind me the confidential secretary of the Fleet Command, holding a folder in my hand. Just by looking at his anxious steps, I knew that he must have something important to me.
"General Stander, there is a document that you need to review." The confidential secretary chased Stander, first saluted a military salute, then opened the folder, took out a document, and handed it to Stander.
Stander took the document and habitually glanced at the head of the document. He asked the secretary for a pen and was about to sign it. He suddenly frowned. "Does the military port warehouse need to be inspected? Is it the Fleet Command's meaning, or is it another reason?"
The confidential secretary replied: "It is the request of the upspring. General Stander, all fleets and ports must complete the warehouse inventory before the end of the year. In January next year, the summit will organize the fleet to investigate each other. Fleets that fail the mutual inspection will be punished. The commander is very concerned about this matter and specifically instructed me to tell the general that the inspection of the warehouses of our fleet must be completed before Christmas."
Stander nodded quietly, signed the document, and handed it back to the confidential secretary, and said: "Today is November 29th, and there are twenty-five days left before Christmas. Please tell General Wilson that I promise to complete the task on time."
The confidential secretary saluted and turned away. Stander faced the sea, staring into the distance with his eyes, and the original refreshing and comfortable feeling in his heart disappeared, and replaced by deep doubts.
In the Fleet Command, he was in charge of the port warehouse, and he was in charge of the power in his hands to hide the goods without a trace. I don’t know what the reason was that Shangfeng actually issued such an order, and I don’t know whether the reason behind it was Shangfeng’s brainstorm or something else.
It would be fine if the Shangfeng was in a state of confusion. The twenty-five-day period was enough to allow them to complete the transaction with Mr. Ballmer of New York. As for the remaining six cents of additional benefits, it would not be delayed when the goods arrived in New York and then returned to implement them.
But if there are other reasons, it is worth worrying, especially Stander considers that it is Cao Bin's result?
Stander sighed. At this time, he needed to contact Cooper even more, and only he could make up his mind.
Back at his office, Stander called Cooper again. However, the phone receiver was always busy. In desperation, Stander had to call Eston's office, but it was not Eston himself who answered the phone, and the other party responded that the director was not in the police station at this moment. Stander told the other party that when Director Eston came back, he would ask him to call General Stander immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Stander fell into the torment of waiting, one was waiting for Eston to call back, and the other was waiting for the road to clear, and he could drive to Cooper's barracks.
It was lunch time, Eston still did not call back. Stander couldn't bear it and called Eston's office again. But the other party still responded that Director Eston was not in the police station. When he came back, I would report to him immediately and ask him to call you back.
He ordered the guards to call him lunch. Stander finished lunch while guarding the phone. The phone rang once, but it was a work call from his subordinates.
After lunch, Stander could no longer control himself, and did not care whether the road had been completely cleared, so he drove out of the military port.
Compared with other cities, Kingsoft's biggest feature is that the proportion of Chinese is quite high, and the biggest feature of Chinese compared to foreigners is hard work. With such heavy snow, all factories and mines have been shut down. Therefore, the Kingsoft Municipal Government has hired a large number of Chinese workers to go to the streets to clear the passages and roads at a small price. Therefore, although the time is short, most roads have been basically cleared.
However, these roads that were originally at least two lanes could only be cleared and opened halfway.
The road was narrow and the car was driving slowly. Stander stopped and stopped, stopped and walked until four o'clock in the afternoon to arrive at Cooper's barracks.
Cooper was very surprised by Stander's sudden visit. He didn't have time to go to the most secret private room in the Military Club, and asked in his regiment office: "Stander, has something happened?"
Stander hesitated for a moment and replied, "It's nothing, I'm just coming to see you."
Cooper realized his problem, patted Stander on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, my friend, follow me."
The two arrived at the old place, and Stander first explained to Cooper the telegram exchange with Mr. Ballmer last evening.
Cooper said: "This is an exciting thing! Stander, did you contact Eston? I think it's necessary for us to have a drink for this good news."
Stander looked grim, shook his head, and said, "Cooper, you want me to finish your words."
Cooper felt the pressure from Stander, put away his smile and said, "Are you in any trouble? Did that batch of goods be discovered?"
Stander shook his head and said, "That's not the case, but today I received a document from the Fleet Command, asking me to complete the inventory of the military port warehouses before Christmas."
A smile reappeared on Cooper's face and said, "Isn't this normal? There are more than twenty days left before Christmas, and we have enough time to transfer that batch of goods out of your military port and ship it to New York. Stander, I can't understand why you are so worried."
Stander looked solemn and said, "Cooper, why can't you think about this issue more deeply? Our fleet has never received such an order to check the warehouse? Isn't it possible that Tom Cao is interfering with it?"
Cooper smiled and said, "The suddenness of this blizzard has had an impact on us, but it has little impact. You see, the weather has improved, and the possibility of the blizzard continuing is almost zero. We only need to endure for a few more days. When the road is clear, I can send a convoy to New York at any time. Checking the warehouse, there is no need to discuss whether Tom was interfering with it. Even if it was indeed his work, he could not find out the storage of the goods or catch our evidence. What can he do to us?"
Stander said: "But if Tom really did it, it means that he has reached the top leadership of the Federal Navy, which is always a threat to us. Cooper, although we can ship the freight out of Kingsoft in time, it does not mean that he cannot track down our evidence. The in and out of two hundred tons of goods will leave traces. If the Shangfeng is serious about tracing, the flaws will be found."
Cooper became serious and said, "So, you still insist on getting rid of Tom, are you?"
"Yes, Cooper, getting rid of him will not only ensure our safety, but also get a lot of extra money, why not do it?"
Cooper stood up, paced back and forth, and thought, "You did make some sense, but Larson has lost confidence. For a while, how can I find a killer of the same level as Larson?"
Stander said: "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. At the beginning, your offer to Larson was too low. If the remuneration was raised to $200,000, would he regain his confidence?"
Cooper stopped immediately, stunned for a moment, and said, "I am not Larson, and I can't judge his thoughts, but I think I can really talk to him about this."
The road interception failed, and then Li Xilu died at Cao Bin's hands. Cooper was furious and sent Larson to assassinate Cao Bin and Dong Biao. At that time, whether it was Cooper or Stand Eston, he was not sure what price he could sell this batch of goods in the future. Therefore, the price of the reward Cooper offered to Larson was not high.
With only $10,000 in remuneration, Larson naturally has the worries of making a lifeless money. But when facing a reward of $200,000, this worry of making a lifeless money has existed, but it is no longer important.
"How do you ensure that you can pay me the remuneration in a timely and unreasonable manner?" When Cooper re-reported the task of assassinating Cao Bin and Dong Biao, Larson firmly refused, but when Cooper said the huge remuneration of 200,000, Larson's mind was obviously shaken.
Cooper said: "You know that we have wholesale goods on our hands, and now we have found the buyer. After the road is opened, I can transport the goods out and exchange them for US dollars. Larson, you have more than the three of us earned more than the rewards of 200,000 yuan."
Larson said coldly: "What you are fighting for is nothing more than the power in your hands, but what I want to fight for is my own life."
