Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 46: duplicity
Chapter 46 Duplicity
Standing at the door of an antique shop that looks ordinary on the outside, Jian Heng is still cursing the unscrupulous American government in his heart. I didn't say a word to myself!
After calming down, Jian Heng pushed open the door of the antique shop.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" As soon as Jian Heng entered the door, a well-dressed waiter greeted him immediately.
"I'm looking for Mr. White, I have an appointment, my name is Henry Jean" Jian Heng said politely to the waiter.
The waiter glanced at Jian Heng, was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Go in through that door, walk along the aisle, and there will be a secretary at the door to receive you."
"thanks"
Thank you, Jian Heng walked towards the door pointed by the waiter.
Pushing open the door, a three-meter-wide and seven-eight-meter-long aisle appeared in front of Jian Heng. The aisle looked a bit old, and the walls were hung with realistic classical oil paintings. As soon as he came in, he was definitely intimidated by this posture.
But who is Jian Heng?
The paintings on the wall are a bit out of date, but the quality of the painters is not very good. Don’t look at the realistic writing, but the painters of this level can be said to be everywhere in the West. Live in a photo-level character, purely realistic unless the famous master, the others are the companions of dawdling.
Turned a ninety-degree angle, walked another three or four meters, and then turned a three-meter aisle, turned two or three times like a maze, and soon opened up, a luxurious office space appeared in front of Jian Heng Well, the living room where the secretary is sitting alone is 100 square meters. There is a circle of leather sofas in the middle of the living room. It is very spacious and comfortable, the kind that can wrap the whole person.
This kind of structure is not because the owner can’t afford a house with a good structure, but it’s purposely built so that when the police come, they have time to escape, and turning left and turning right is also conducive to fighting back with a gun. There are ways to do this of.
The secretary is not young, in his thirties, but he still has a charming charm, at least he is more eye-catching than Luna and Emma in the gym.
As soon as the secretary looked up, he saw Jian Heng coming, and immediately stood up, folded his hands in front of his stomach, and stood in a very professional posture: "Hello, how can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Mr. White, my name is Henry Jean, and I have an appointment," Jian Heng said.
"Hello, sir is inside, please go in directly, sir has been waiting for you" the female secretary made a gesture of invitation to Jian Heng.
Nodding slightly to the secretary, Jian Heng pushed open the thick solid wooden door next to the secretary's desk.
"Hi buddy, long time no see!"
Looking up, he saw someone pushing the door and coming in. White saw the person clearly, stood up from the back of the office with a smile, walked around the desk and walked directly to Jian Heng, and gave Jian Heng a big hug with his hand outstretched.
Jian Heng hugged White with a smile and patted his back lightly.
"I haven't seen you for many years. You are so strong now. Why, do you want to be a bodyguard? If you want to do it, I just need someone here!".
After embracing each other, White and Jian Heng took two steps back, signaling Jian Heng to sit on the chair in front of his desk, and he sat back on the executive chair behind the desk.
Jian Heng smiled and said: "Don't be kidding, I just got stronger, but what happened to your hair? You used to have beautiful cheetah-colored hair, but now you have a big bald head?"
"Hair loss!"
White explained melancholy, then took out a cigar from the cigar box on the table, gestured to Jian Heng, saw Jian Heng waved his hand, took the cigar tongs and began to straighten the cigar .
Although the two of them talked as if they were friends for many years, in fact, they were not even friends. This White was the supervisor of the lumberyard where Jian Heng was trafficked, and the policeman who came to throw Jian Heng in the snow The little foreman waiting to die.
How about reality is so wonderful!
Jian Heng doesn't have a good impression of him, but compared with other supervisors in Yokiba, Cupite is still good, and there is still a little bottom line in doing things, unlike some supervisors who praise him when they say beasts No, I didn't live there, I really can't think of the filth there, beyond the acceptable range of normal people, people who get out of trouble there will think that even living a life of begging on the street is beautiful.
Sometimes the world is so unfair. People who respect and abide by the law live a miserable life. After eating this meal all day, I wonder where the next meal will be. As for the villains, they earn a lot of money every day. While drinking the wine, the pretty chick fell asleep, leading a luxurious life.
White is this kind of person. He has almost never done any righteous way. Finally, now you look at the gangsters, there are five people and six people! A suit on his body, catching up with a normal person's salary for a few months. If you don't go through the old case, who knows how many people this sanctimonious person once robbed a convenience store with a gun, stole a car, and killed a few people when he was working as a supervisor in a black logging field?
The reason why Jian Heng contacted him now is very simple: he is needed!
Or in other words, making money requires his connections!
"How about it? Are you going to follow me?"
Cup Te didn't know that Jian Heng had never looked down on him in his heart, Cup Te had always felt good about himself, not only before and now, but also thought that Jian Heng had nowhere to go, and wanted to follow him to make money.
"No, last time I heard you talk about your business, I don't know if you still do it now?" Jian Heng asked.
White glanced at Jian Heng: "Why, are you going to start this business?"
Hearing what Jian Heng said, White couldn't help becoming vigilant. The way to make money is the foundation of his survival for him, and he will never let Jian Heng know about it.
It is certain that White appreciates Jian Heng a little bit, but what he appreciates is Jian Heng who is willing to concentrate on being a pony for himself, not Jian Heng who wants to pull the flag by himself.
Jian Heng didn't know what White was thinking when he heard his question, so he asked calmly, "Is there still money to be made by bringing the goods now?"
Hearing the delivery, White's heart was relieved in an instant: "So what you said? Of course it's profitable, but the risk is also high. The people at the customs have noses like dogs, not to mention anything else. My supplier this month Only three pieces were lost!"
Bringing goods is not controlled by White, he just receives goods from a few gangs who go this way, smuggling this thing through customs is the most dangerous and the biggest loss, but it is not the most profitable, and the most profitable is not like White It is not a transit dealer, but a jewelry company in the market.
Speaking of this, I have to talk about what Jian Heng's "night grass" is. Smuggling is naturally smuggling, but Jian Heng does not touch drugs or arms, and chooses the road of smuggling diamonds.
In the United States, every diamond that comes in from regular channels on the market will have a unique code, and you can trace it back to the source just by checking the number.
It is a pity that the tax set by the customs on luxury goods is too high, and there is a profit gap, so there is a way of smuggling.
The diamonds are collected cheaply by the shipper at the place of origin. The shipper usually buys them from African warlords, regions or groups that are not recognized by the mainstream society. The less the place of origin that is not recognized by the mainstream of the world, the greater the profit in the middle .
The shipper got the diamonds, used methods such as entrainment to bypass the customs, avoided heavy taxes, and got them into the hands of people like White, and then middlemen like White put a forged number on the diamonds, and then sold them at a price of only a few percent of the market price. to the jeweler. In this way, a complete diamond sales black chain is formed.
Special attention here is that middlemen like White will not use serial numbers for fake diamonds. They all use one number more than one. One number may give a dozen or so diamonds of similar color, especially when the quality of diamonds is very average. Under the circumstances, it is very concealed.
"I want to try to do it. I'm short of money, so try my luck!" Jian Heng said.
When Bei Te heard what Jian Heng said, he couldn't help frowning: "It's very dangerous, you have to think about it, and it's the first time you walk this way, you must have a particularly good psychological quality. Let’s just say, the loss rate of rookies is much higher than that of veterans, and half of them succeed, all because of nervousness, and they are seen through at a glance when they pass the test.”
Now that Jian Heng knows, White has always said that he appreciates how unreliable he is. If he really appreciates it, then he has to ask how much money he is short of now. Well, on the surface a look of concern, in fact, is the case.
"I'll give it a try!" Jian Heng said firmly.
"Then are you going to bring the goods or ship them yourself?" White asked after thinking for a while.
Jian Heng didn't do this before, how did he know the twists and turns here, so he asked, "What's the difference?"
White said with a smile: "Naturally, the difference is the amount of money earned. The person who brings the goods is also responsible for carrying the goods around the customs. The goods are picked up from the seller and shipped to the United States. Naturally, the more things you do, the more you earn."
"Delivery! I also prepared a little money" Jian Heng said.
White laughed and said, "Tell me, how much are you going to buy for the first time?"
"One hundred thousand!" Jian Heng said.
As soon as he heard about 100,000, White chuckled.
100,000 rough diamonds is a lot for bringing goods, but 100,000 is not enough for shipping.
One hundred thousand is the maximum amount that Jian Heng can take out now. Of course, there is more money, and Jian Heng does not dare to invest in it for the first time. , Not too big and not too small is just right.
It’s just that Jian Heng doesn’t know that there is always a gap between imagination and reality. Compared with others, his 100,000 can’t even make a splash in the water.
"Where are you going to get the goods?" Cup Te asked.
"You are a novice who is familiar with me, so of course I have followed your arrangement," Jian Heng said.
White thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, I have a few acquaintances, if they take you to pick up the goods next time, I can't guarantee who is willing to take you, if there is news, I will let you know how Sample?"
"No problem, the matter is over, let's have dinner together tonight?" Jian Heng stretched out his hand to look at his watch, and pretended to be a warm invitation.
Jian Heng doesn't feel that he owes White anything. He also makes money by shipping the goods himself, so let's not talk about favors. Some people are only worthy of talking about money with him.
White was not interested either, so he said, "I have something to do tonight."
Just like that, the two duplicity so-called old friends got up and went out while talking and laughing, each went back to each house, and each went to find his own mother.
