Judging from Sun Wei's reaction, he definitely did not want to join the Chi Army on a whim, but he probably didn't want to do this job for a long time, let alone cooperate with the Xue family.
Why
Firstly, the final payment was too difficult to settle. If they didn't do this business, their brothers would have nothing to eat. If they continued to do this business, they wouldn't make much money and would have to worry about the advance payment every day. In addition, the Sun family was located at the junction of 045, which was between the conflict zone between the Chi army and the rebel army. To put it bluntly, if the two sides had a big fight one day, they might lose both their people and their money.
So if he wanted to continue, he would have to move and follow the Xue family to the rebels' territory to be a lackey, but Sun Wei didn't want to do that. Because the Chi Army was very active recently and its power was growing, he also felt that the 125th Army was unreliable. In addition, he was just a second-level "supplier" under the Xue family and had no say with the upper echelons of District 1, so there was no need to risk the death of his entire family to serve a bunch of black people.
Sun Wei had long wanted to find a way out, but he had no opportunity.
As soon as Su Tianyu arrived, his mind immediately became active.
This is equivalent to a wavering customer meeting a chicken who is determined to sell it. It is damn hard for both parties to avoid a transaction.
In front of the off-road vehicle, Su Tianyu stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Sun Wei: "The establishment of the Chi Army is full..."
"Commander Su, to be honest, if you take 20 million from me, we, the 1,800 people, will have no working capital." Sun Wei pulled Su Tianyu and cried bitterly, "Without money and factories, we will have no jobs... How can we survive? The Chi Army is a Chinese army, and it is dedicated to protecting the interests of the Chinese... You can't just watch more than a thousand of us become homeless here, can you? Besides... If I took the money from you, and the rebels and District 1 knew about it, they would accuse me of aiding the enemy, wouldn't they? If they get angry, we will bleed like a river...!"
"Yes, Commander Su, if the higher-ups knew we were aiding the enemy, they would definitely bring machine guns and shoot us...!"
"Commander Su, please accept us!"
“…!”
The Sun family members all came over to plead for mercy, their words were sincere and their attitudes were very humble.
A robbery has turned into a request for help from the suffering people to the living Buddha. If you do nothing about it, it seems that you are not living up to the slogan of the Chi Army.
Su Tianyu's head was buzzing. He suddenly felt that he had mobilized an entire group to do some work, but in the end he would have to lose money.
An hour later.
Hou Guoyu accompanied Xin Xiaodong to the garrison headquarters at the junction of 045, where they met more than 20 black marketeers active in the local area.
None of the things these people do in secret can be made public. They are involved in human trafficking, arms smuggling, forcing people to grow opium, kidnapping people for sex, and many of them are black, so they must have some connection with the rebels.
"I won't make it difficult for you. One million per family. If you give us one, we'll leave. If you don't, we'll find another way." Xin Xiaodong smoked a cigarette and said, "Gather the money in half an hour. I'll have someone pack it in a sack."
This is a clear and arrogant attitude.
…
On a resort island in Washington.
An Qiqi and Qiuqiu accompanied Wang Ying off the boat. The three sisters found a cold drink shop on the shore, sat down, and started chatting in low voices.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Qiuqiu asked in a neutral voice, supporting his chin with his right hand.
Wang Ying lowered her head, feeling very depressed.
An Qiqi hugged her shoulders and looked at her: "Will you tell me or not?"
Wang Ying buried her face in her hands and took a long while before she said with a haggard expression, "Yes, Qiuqiu is right. I embezzled the group's public funds to start a new project with my friends. Now... the funds are stuck. I need to inject capital again to make it work, but I can't get the money out."
An Qiqi was speechless when she heard this. Qiuqiu drank her drink and rolled her eyes.
"The funds that were embezzled were approved by my superiors. To put it bluntly, he also wanted to make a little extra money." Wang Ying sighed, "But now that the funds are locked up, he immediately turned his back on me. He secretly told me... If the money can't be paid back, he will sue me, and I will go to jail for financial embezzlement..."
"You are in the financial industry, how dare you use this kind of money?!" Qiuqiu raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of not being able to pay back the money?"
Wang Ying looked at her and said, "In fact, many people working in finance are dishonest and timid and can't make big money. Our project team has more than 100 million in cash in its account... If we don't use it, others will, it's just that I'm unlucky."
"This is theft!" Qiuqiu curled her lips and said, "If someone really reports you and sues you, that's normal."
An Qiqi hugged her shoulders and looked at Wang Ying expressionlessly: "Is there anything we can do to help?"
Wang Ying hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "Qiqi, Qiuqiu, you know that my family can't be relied on now. Over the years... you are the only friends I have been close to. I... I really don't know what to do...!"
"Okay, stop laying the groundwork," Qiuqiu asked, "Just tell me what to do!"
"Would you please invest some money in me?" Wang Ying said seriously, "The project I'm investing in will definitely make money, but my partner made some mistakes in his assessment of the industry when making the investment budget. We didn't expect this project to be so profitable, so we were stuck. If each of you can invest a little, I can balance the account, and use the remaining money to revitalize the project and stock up on inventory. After a year or so, I will definitely recover."
An Qiqi fell silent after hearing this.
"Just tell me, how much you want?" Qiuqiu asked.
"If you can get me 12 million, I can get through this difficult time." Wang Ying said immediately: "I sell high-end tea, and my customers are all upper-class people who are willing to collect..."
"Six million per person? You are so arrogant! Do you think we are money printers?!" Qiuqiu replied with a frown.
Wang Ying lowered her head: "I really have no choice..."
“Forget it, forget it, don’t act like you’re being wronged.” Qiuqiu waved her hand and replied, “You cry when something happens… It’s so annoying. Forget it, six million… I’ll help you think of a solution, it’s not a big problem.”
"Thank you so much! We can get share certification for the money you invested and count it directly as your shares." Wang Ying stood up excitedly, grabbed Qiuqiu's hand and said.
"Hey, stop being so clingy. This is just the first time, and it won't happen again." The tone Qiuqiu used when talking to Wang Ying was like an older brother treating a younger brother. It wasn't a lot of respect, but at the critical moment, he was doing something for his best friend.
Wang Ying turned her head to look at An Qiqi and said softly, "Qiqi, there is one more thing you need to help me with."
"What's the matter?" An Qiqi asked.
"Can you invite Auntie to attend a party at our company? Please stand on the stage for me." Wang Ying pleaded with a sullen face: "Auntie is a senior official in the parliament. If she can show up and help me, then... then it will be difficult for this company not to make money."
An Qiqi looked at her and frowned.
