After a long time, many people have been curious about what conditions I offered to Chachai, so that I won the support of the biggest drug lord in the Golden Triangle.
Some people speculated that I spent hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth to impress Chachai, and some people speculated that I agreed to give Chachai the exclusive North American sales channel in the future. Some even speculated that I used the diamond mines in Africa as the terms of the transaction.
However, all of these guesses are inaccurate.
After I threw out the threat, I handed Chachai the "carrot", which was actually very simple.
Even Yang Wei, who is unparalleled in intelligence, didn't guess correctly at first.
"When an old man who has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, an old man who has seen swords, fires, seas and blood flying everywhere, an old hero who has earned money for several lifetimes... What is he most hoping for?"
"For Chachai, when he has worked hard all his life, he has everything and everything is missing... At this time, for him in his old age, what drives him to continue on this road? Everyone knows It will be tiring and exhausting. I can say a very responsible word... In this world, ninety-nine out of a hundred bosses, what they hope most in their hearts is not to continue to make money, but... to be like ordinary people in the future dying of old age in bed like that."
"But come out to hang out, this is a road of no return. Once you go up, there is no chance of turning back! Because even if you want to quit, your friends, your partners, even your opponents, your enemies, It’s absolutely not allowed!! The only thing you can do is to move forward! As long as you don’t die for a day, you don’t die for a day! Even if you know this is a road of no return, you have to go step by step! Until one day, A certain bullet from a certain place ends your life."
"So, what can move Chachai? Money? Or women? Or power? Neither!"
"Standing in the position of being a big boss may seem glorious, but in fact the responsibility is even heavier! Because you have commanded so many people and such a big cause, you have to be responsible for all of them! The lives of thousands of people are in your hands Lie! These are mouths! If you have to go forward! Keep going step by step! Feed these people... Otherwise, once you stop, these will all turn into bloody mouths that will bite you back!"
"When you come out to play around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. The only difference is, Cha Guai understands that if our conversation breaks down, then he will probably have to face 'repayment' immediately! Losing the North American market is something they can't afford! This kind of oscillation will cause an earthquake in the Golden Triangle! And the most dangerous person is him, the leader! And the result of agreeing to my conditions is... to maintain it. That's all. But it is enough for him to be satisfied."
"'Stay on my side, and I guarantee the Canadian market is still yours.' This is my promise to Chachai."
…
After more than ten hours of turbulence, the plane landed at Toronto Airport. I rubbed my face that was numb due to fatigue, and then carefully put on my sunglasses, while a thick scarf blocked half of my face.
Tu pushed the wheelchair, and when we walked out of the airport, the cars outside had already been waiting for a long time.
The converted RV was roomy and the back row of seats had been removed enough to move me in with my wheelchair.
It wasn't until I got in the car that Si Luo, who was sitting in the front row, turned around. He looked at me with reddened eyes: "Xiao Wu...you..."
I smiled, and patted his face with my hands: "Why are you crying, I'm not dead yet, I just broke two legs."
There is a newspaper on my lap.
This is a Chinese newspaper, which I took with me before boarding the plane in Shanghai. The headline on the front page reads: Deep Blue Entertainment announces plans to abort; Injured in a car accident, this made the overseas rich man who had determined to return to China to do a good job disheartened and wanted to retire...
Indeed, Huaxing Company in Shanghai began to gradually shrink its business a few days ago, and the original series of work and market expansion plans began to slowly come to a halt under my instructions. And even the cooperation plan between Deep Blue Entertainment and Billy Hill Films has been temporarily shelved. The only news is that after the concert tour, Jenny went to Billy Hill Films in Hollywood.
Apart from this, all the work of my return to China has temporarily stopped, or even regressed.
All indications are pointing. I, who was already physically paralyzed, seemed to be disheartened and gave up my original plan to do a big job in China.
"There's no time." I looked at my watch, then stared at Ciro, and said seriously: "I originally hoped that you would not come here. Now that you come to see me, I know you care about me in your heart, but this has already Your danger has increased! You should also know that the two of us are definitely the ones the other party wants to kill the most! You should go back to Vancouver immediately. You are needed there, and remember that the sea operations will be suspended for three days starting tomorrow. Wait for the personnel from Africa to arrive, and then carry out the next round of raids! I want to prevent the drugs from Asia from landing in Canada within a month!" Sighing, I whispered: "I know Your current situation is also very dangerous. You have more experience than me about the strength of the airborne soldiers and killers in the big circle. I heard that you have also been assassinated twice in the past few days. Take care of yourself, there is a big brother by your side Beside me, I feel at ease, but you try to live as reclusive as possible and show up as little as possible. In this way, even if the other party comes to deal with you, there is not much danger. There is also the relationship with the police... "
"Okay, little five." Ciro shook his head: "I'm not a kid anymore. Don't forget, I'm still two years older than you... I know I haven't grown up to the level you expected, it's always been you It's all on my own. But now I'm going to try to get things done."
"Alive." I looked into Xi Luo's eyes: "As long as you can live safely, this time is our greatest victory! I really don't want to see my brother die again."
Shi Luo's eyes were still very excited, but at this moment he became ruthless, got out of the car and left. I sat in the car and watched Ciro walk into the airport through the car window before I sighed.
This kid came here in a hurry just to see me... Sigh, he's still too immature... Well, it's the same as I was back then. Hey!
Patted the driver's seat in front: "Let's go, take me to see Mr. Sorin. I think he must be waiting anxiously."
…
Thorin was indeed anxious. This can be seen from the look in his eyes when we met. He didn't even come over to shake my hand or hug me like he used to.
Walking into Sorin's manor, I can feel that the security here is extremely strict now. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, old Sorin strode towards me, snatched the handle of the wheelchair from Tu's hand, and pushed me inside.
Under the signal of my eyes, Tu Youjing got out of the way and followed behind.
Without pleasantries, not even a word of courtesy, old Sorin pushed me directly into his study.
Just the two of us. Whether it was Tu or Old Sorin's people, they were blocked in front.
"Chen Yang, now I need you to tell me what you want to do." Old Sorin looked at me seriously.
His expression has aged a lot, and even he, who has always been well maintained, has a little dark circles under his eyes.
I didn't speak, but lightly pressed the button, sat in the wheelchair and turned around in this study, looking around.
Old Sorin's study room was very large, covering a full two hundred square meters, with pure European-style interior decoration, a circle of arched bookshelves around it, and a tall stretched movable staircase.
Not to mention anything else, just that circle of bookshelves, I can see that there are at least thousands of books.
"Have you read all these books?" Instead of answering what old Sorin said, I turned my head and asked with a smile.
"No..." Old Sorin frowned: "Chen Yang, I'm not in the mood to joke with you now! You should also know the seriousness of the matter now."
"My dear friend, you shouldn't have too much appetite." I smiled thoughtfully, "Could it be that the 15% stake in the smuggling business of Huaxing Company is not enough for you to put down your anxiety for the time being?" Is it?"
After finishing speaking, I continued to turn around. The ceiling of this study is very high, and it is also a dome structure. A fireplace next to it makes the room extremely warm. It's just the black bookshelves and the thick red curtains, which seem to be full of iron and blood, and the atmosphere is too heavy and depressing.
"I have heard a lot about the legend of your study, and I finally saw it today." I smiled, as if very relaxed: "I heard that unless it is an important event or a particularly important person, you It's not easy to let people into your study. Right? My dear friend."
Old Thorin still frowned tightly.
"Okay." Looking at his appearance, I couldn't help showing a hint of mockery: "Mr. Sorin, actually, in my opinion, when we met, your first sentence should not be to question me." What... but you should say thank you to me first."
"Thank... thank you?"
"Yes." Seeing Sorin's inexplicable expression, I nodded seriously, then stared into his eyes, and said lightly: "At least I haven't forgotten the one you gave me at my wedding." Gift', don't you think that as an ally, your actions may seriously endanger our friendship... But now, at this critical moment, I come to see you, which is enough to show that I don't care about that matter. I didn't hold any grudges, but valued our friendship as always... So, for this, don't you feel that you should say thank you to me?"
"..." Old Sorin looked at me, as if meeting me for the first time, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, and more of a trace of strangeness. Then, this guy stood up, walked in front of me with strides, looked at me hesitantly for a long time, finally let out a breath, smiled and said: "Okay... I'm sorry for what happened at the beginning... Then, thank you for letting go of the past. "
After a pause, old Sorin looked at me with a complicated smile: "However... my friend, I think the way you speak is really strange... You used to speak so sharply."
"People will always change." I turned the wheelchair, took a paper knife on the desk, and gently played with it in my hand: "It's a good handicraft."
This paper knife is made of gold, and there is a crystal inlaid on the handle... Of course, this kind of knife is not sharpened, very blunt.
"I'll give it to you if you like it." Thorin shrugged.
"Okay." I saw his impatience, and knowing that I couldn't challenge his patience any longer, I finally turned back to the sofa in the wheelchair: "Now, let's talk."
"What do you want to do?" Old Thorin was still asking this question.
"You should be able to see it." I said lightly, then tapped my leg lightly with the paper knife in my hand, and said slowly: "Look, I'm paralyzed... or, in other words, crippled. These It's a gift from the big circle...and in return, don't you think my recent series of actions are normal?"
"Just for revenge?" Sorin frowned: "There are many ways of revenge. But don't you know that your behavior like this is pulling the other party to die together!" After a pause, he added without any concealment. : "It also brought me huge trouble at the same time."
"Hahahahahaha..." I laughed wantonly, which made Sorin feel a little weird.
His face was a little gloomy: "What's so funny? My friend!"
"No, no, no..." I shook my head, and then looked at him gently: "My friend, I laughed because I suddenly found that I like talking to you more and more... You see, at least you speak very frankly." After pondering for a while, I nodded and said: "You are right, indeed this matter has brought you a lot of trouble."
"Of course." Old Sorin said with a sullen face, "There have been too many bloody incidents at sea in the past month! Do you know? The big circle has already sent someone to contact me. Those drugs at sea, you You should know, I am the biggest buyer in Canada! Those goods were shipped to sell to me! Now you cut off the goods. You know, those drug channels under me are going to be turned upside down. I pick up almost every day To one hundred complaints! Those guys who don’t smoke or smoke are about to take to the streets with knives and rob… And in just this month, the price of drugs in Canada has nearly doubled!”
"Oh, I know." I was not moved at all: "At the same time, I also believe, my friend, with your ingenuity, you may also take the opportunity to increase the price and make a fortune."
Sorin blushed, but became even more angry: "I ask you to stop these actions immediately... At the same time, I need enough supplies to calm the anger of the channels below!"
"Mr. Sorin!" I looked at him coldly, and suddenly changed my address. Instead of calling him "my friend", I called him by his first name: "I think, you haven't forgotten that just a few days ago, You just got 15% of the shares of Huaxing Company! There is no free lunch in the world, isn’t that 15% enough to keep you silent on this matter for a while? As a human being, you can’t have too much appetite Now... you want smuggling, you want drugs... even God will not agree to such a request."
Sorin smiled wryly: "If time could be restarted... I would rather I refused to accept the 15% of the shares... All I can say is that every share of your money is good in your hands It's hot!"
Knowing that the heat was about the same, I slowly pushed the wheelchair close to him, and changed my tone to a milder one: "My friend, I know you are under a lot of pressure... the drug market in Canada is under your control. I I know that the period of time at sea is not stable, which will have a great impact on your business. I understand the rebellion and complaints of the people below. Oh, by the way, I think the big circle must also contact you, they Any suggestions?"
"Their suggestion is, let me turn against you, it is best to swallow you! As long as you get rid of Huaxing Gang, then the sea will be peaceful."
I curled my lips: "That's right... Besides, after killing me, you can still take over the smuggling business. They made a good suggestion."
Old Sorin sneered: "Aren't you worried that I will accept this proposal? Chen Yang, as long as I shoot you to death now, then everything is mine... Don't forget, you are on my territory! You are dead After that, I believe that your subordinate, that Xi Luo, is not enough to maintain the career you left behind, he is just a child."
"I know... I believe it too." I looked into his eyes, and my voice was not angry at all: "But, if you do that... Then, who will support your daughter to come to power in the future? When you are dying one day At this time, who are you trusting? Or do you simply decide to call back your godson Alan now and re-appoint him as the heir?"
This counterattack immediately made the muscles on Sorin's face twitch.
There is no doubt that I saw Thorin's weakness.
"What exactly do you want?" Sorin rubbed his brows vigorously: "You want me to keep silent? Chen Yang...Although you have given me a lot of benefits, based on the price, the 15% of the shares have already Enough to offset the loss of my drug business. But... You should also understand that money is not everything! Drugs are needed in the market! Those drug addicts will not quit overnight! If this continues, I will even worry about the drugs under my hands Boss, I'm afraid he will betray me!"
"One month... within one month, the war will be over." I smiled: "And the purpose of my coming today... is to make a small request to you, my friend."
"What do you want?" Old Sorin looked at me worriedly: "You don't mean to suggest that I go to those guys in South America to buy drugs? Damn... don't you know that because I chose the big circle at the beginning, I have already Did you fall out with those guys? And now that the market is out of stock, they will take the opportunity to raise the price!"
"No no no... no." I smiled and said, "My request is... I hope you can continue to choose Asian sources of goods in the future. Give up the plan to cooperate with South Americans, my friend. I promise, this matter is very It will be over soon... and after it is over, the goods from Asia will be shipped over quickly, and the price can be lowered by half."
"..." The old guy stared at me, speechless in surprise.
Just when I single-handedly swept Asian drugs out of the Canadian market, I have already forced the biggest drug king in Canada to almost turn against me!
In fact, this is also the case, if I hadn't taken the initiative to give up 15% of the smuggling business, and old Sorin's tacit understanding with me and the agreement to support his daughter in the future... I am afraid that he would have turned against me long ago!
He might even think that I will ask him to continue to support me, drive Asian drugs out of North America, and completely wipe out hope in the big circle... But unexpectedly, I changed the subject and promised that not only will Asian drugs continue to run smoothly in a month Come over and take the initiative to lower the half price.
Faced with such a good thing, old Sorin quickly revealed his true nature as an old fox!
He stared at me vigilantly: "Reduce half of the money? Are you going to pay the half of the money out of your own pocket? My friend... this is not a few million... it is a huge sum! And... the price is reduced Things, those guys from the Golden Triangle agreed? I can't believe you have such a good relationship with them."
"No, no, you misunderstood." I shook my head: "The reduction of half the price will not lose the big guys in the Golden Triangle... but the big circle! You also know that the big circle is not a producer of drugs, but the plantation of the Golden Triangle. There is no part of the big circle. The big circle is just a dealer in the middle... Originally, the big circle took 20% of the profit from each batch of goods. But in the future... "
"You want the big circle to voluntarily give up part of the profits... Will they agree?"
"Of course the boss of the big circle in the past would not agree to this kind of thing." I smiled: "But in the future... I will have the final say on this matter."
Old Sorin stared at me in surprise: "You... do you want to swallow the whole circle of Asia?!"
"Why do you use the word 'swallow'?" I smiled kindly: "You see, the United States did not turn Iraq into a state of the United States when it attacked Iraq. It was just to support the proxy to come to power."
"I probably understand what you mean." Old Sorin's expression this time was unusually serious: "But I doubt it...Chen Yang, let me be frank...From the comparison of strength, the Asian circle is the United States, while You are Iraq! I have only heard that the United States swallowed Iraq, but I have never heard that Iraq can swallow the United States!"
"It didn't happen before. But this time, maybe you will see it... And, what's more, the 'America' is in civil strife now." I shrugged my shoulders, played with the paper knife in my hand, and then suddenly smiled: "This The things are really good... How many gadgets like this do you have, give them to me."
