Chapter 43 The Trouble With Roberts

The bell rang for a long time.

No one picks up?

But just when Jiang Chen was about to hang up, the other end of the phone was connected.

"Who?" A very unfamiliar and brief voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was in English.

The voice was deep and hoarse, and it didn't look like Roberts was on the phone.

"Jiang Chen, boss Roberts' Chinese friend, may I ask who you are?" Jiang Chen answered slowly in his English, which was just over CET-6.

"Nick Kaczynski. My boss is in some trouble... Can I trust you?" Nick asked solemnly after hesitating for a moment.

"Of course, Roberts is a good person. Even though he is far away from China, I still miss him. Besides, we still have a business to do." Jiang Chen searched his stomach for a long time, and finally read this sentence clearly in English. .

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, but Nick finally spoke up.

Because Jiang Chen's English was terrible, Nick deliberately slowed down his speech. After some tossing, Jiang Chen finally figured out what happened.

In short, this guy Roberts went to Iraq to do business two days ago, and one of them was accidentally kidnapped. Originally, Nick's combat power would not have made such a mistake, but no one thought that the old informant who had cooperated many times was actually an insider. It was not a local armed force at all who came to take over the arms, but a group of veiled terrorists.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen showed a wry smile on his face.

Here's to trouble...

Damn, if you don't do the gold business, go to that damn place to do something, and lose the chain at the critical moment... No matter how much Jiang Chen curses in his heart, Roberts actually has his own difficulties.

Originally, he was prepared to calm down during this time, but seeing that Jiang Chen never called, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart.

Does that oriental man really have a business? Why haven't you heard a single message? So Roberts, who couldn't sit still, got itchy again. It happened to be the old man's business, and the risk factor was "low", so he went...

However, after scolding, this golden Jiang Chen still had to find a way to solve it.

It's just that for a while and a half, he really couldn't find any way to realize so much gold. Will these gold be sold at home? That's insane, the gold worth $500 million, and TMD even without an invoice. He didn't want to be targeted by mysterious relevant departments. If those people really found something, it would be bad in every sense.

How about... a trip to Iraq?

Jiang Chen's face was hesitant, but then a playful smile appeared on his face, which might be a good idea. With the sophisticated equipment on his body and his "superhuman" body mass index, he really didn't worry much about what danger he would encounter.

What's more, if you can't fight, you can run. Turn to the corner and cross directly, escape to the end of the world to stay for a day or two, who can beat him?

At the same time, Jiang Chen had another consideration for this decision.

If you pull Roberts on this matter, not only will the gold matter be resolved smoothly, but there will be another way out. If one day he can't get along in the country, it's better to find another place, right? I believe that this guy Roberts will not pull him back when the time comes.

Although there was only one relationship, he could still see that Roberts was a businessman with a "contract spirit".

This point is very important.

If it is a cunning and mercenary person, it would be a waste of emotion to save it, and it would be more convenient to change another partner.

Jiang Chen, who made up his mind, did not delay, and immediately ordered a flight ticket to Dubai online, planning to transfer to Baghdad after arriving in Dubai. Passports and other things, he got them when he went to school, but he had no chance to use them for a few years. Next, go to the embassy to apply for a tourist visa and you can go.

After dealing with the air ticket, Jiang Chen also made more stops, simply packed up, made a salute and went out. Since the house was no longer rented, he just found a seven-day hotel to open a standard room, and after the golden matter was dealt with, he would consider buying a house.

Although these tons of gold are not easy to sell, it is still possible to take out one or two kilograms of gold to cash in some RMB first.

It just so happened that Jiang Chen was about to run out of money, so he took out the business card and called Boss Liu of the gold shop to make an appointment.

-

-

It was still seven kilograms of gold, and Jiang Chen didn't bother to pay attention to those fractions, so he directly traded at the price of 150W.

However, what Jiang Chen didn't notice was that the moment he left the gold shop, a touch of almost undisguised greed flashed across Liu Anshan's face.

Liu Anshan became more and more convinced that this guy must have a special way to get a lot of gold. Maybe a tomb raider? Maybe a private mine? Liu Anshan didn't know, he only knew that that kid must have more than that!

He secretly investigated Jiang Chen. When Jiang Chen got the money last time, he spent almost all the money without blinking. It has not been a month since he came to his shop to sell gold again.

This shows what?

This shows that his gold has reached an unimaginable level! If he only got the gold by chance, how could he spend it so quickly?

As for whether Jiang Chen is a dangerous person... Boss Liu also asked an acquaintance to investigate this.

It's just a small employee who had worked in Bailian Shimao's clothing store for a year, and was finally fired by his boss. Even if he was killed, he didn't believe that this little guy could have any background.

It's time to get in touch with my brother...

But just when he thought of his brother, Liu Anshan's face still showed a hint of hesitation. To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved with that brother too much, but he had to be invited to take part in this matter.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Anshan made up his mind and dialed the phone number in his hand.

"...Hello? Brother? It's me, Liu Anshan...I won't greet you any more. Are you interested in a business? ."

Liu Changlong, the boss of the Hongyi Gang, is also a respectable figure in the Wanghai City gang.

Speaking of which, Jiang Chen and the Hongyi Gang are still having a little holiday...

After leaving the gold shop, Jiang Chen called directly to the outskirts of the city. He wants to rent a warehouse in the suburbs to store the supplies that are ready to be transported to the end times. Although online shopping is also a very convenient method, it is not a long-term solution after all. There are now more than 30 people in the survivor base. It is much more convenient to purchase materials directly through grain product wholesalers than in supermarkets, and it can save costs.

After paying the rent directly for one year, Jiang Chen rented a small warehouse. Whether it is the traffic environment near the warehouse or the concealment of the interior space of the warehouse, Jiang Chen is very satisfied. The rent is 3,000 yuan per month, which is not too expensive in the suburbs of Wanghai City. Jiang Chen rented it directly for two years.

Jiang Chen, who had rented the warehouse, did not rest, and directly found the number of a local grain product wholesaler in Wanghai City on the Internet. Jiang Chen, who was called in the past, did not talk nonsense. He directly opened his mouth and said 10 tons of rice, 5 tons of flour, 300 boxes of canned meat, 200 boxes of canned fruit, and various salt, grain and oil and other materials. With such a big business, the owner of the grain and oil store who answered the phone naturally took the order without hesitation. After asking for the address, he even patted his chest and promised to deliver it within 2 hours. The only requirement was to pay the deposit first. After all, he was also afraid that Jiang Chen was playing tricks on him.

Jiang Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he directly called all the money.

As soon as the full amount of 160,000 was received, the grain and oil boss was taken aback. The full amount of 160,000 was called without blinking.

The grain and oil boss who received the money naturally prepared without stopping. He even got into the truck himself and drove with the driver to the warehouse that Jiang Chen rented in the suburbs.

It was obvious that Jiang Chen was ingratiating with the grain and oil boss, but Jiang Chen didn't talk to him, he just emphasized that if the quality of this batch of goods was good, he would come to buy it next time. In this regard, the grain and oil boss naturally patted his chest and made a package. All the rice is fresh from the factory, and the canned food is imported from regular channels without any problems.

Jiang Chen smiled noncommittally, and then implicitly stated that next time he would need the kind of unprinted package, but the quality must not be vague. The grain and oil boss was stunned for a while, but then he showed a smile of "I understand", and then agreed.

That kind of goods is not difficult for him to get, and it is easy to get it by contacting acquaintances in the factory, but it is just one less procedure on the assembly line.

After a few simple greetings, the grain and oil boss saw that Jiang Chen seemed to have something to do, so he said goodbye.

After watching the truck drive away, Jiang Chen returned to the warehouse and closed the door. Now it's time to get down to business.

Looking at the materials piled up in most of the warehouse, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

After going back and forth, Jiang Chen lit a cigarette and rested for a while. Then, under the eyes of Miss Sun Jiao's surprise and difference, Jiang Chen piled up most of the materials in the warehouse into the golden swimming pool.

A pool full of food...

"...How about I help you get some more gold from the vault," Sun Jiao, who had been in a daze for a while, came to her senses, but she just uttered these words in a daze.

"Pfft, the gold has not been completely released this time. If you give me a bunch of it, I won't be able to exchange it for money. Also, this grain of food doesn't cost much at all from our place." Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing and crying. said.

"Then why don't you bring it back?" Sun Jiao was a little embarrassed, so in order to hide her own, she hurriedly put on a vicious expression and barked her teeth at Jiang Chen. It's just that in Jiang Chen's eyes, this expression is nothing but coquettish without any deterrence.

"Don't be greedy, snack food, can you finish eating after getting so much?" Jiang Chen laughed and patted Sun Jiao's buttocks.

"Eat, you can leave it if you can't finish it." Sun Jiao blushed and glared at Jiang Chen again.

"Don't eat like a pig, then I'm going to eat Yao Yao." Jiang Chen said jokingly.

"You're going to die, hooligan." Sun Jiao raised her hand in shyness and slapped Jiang Chen's shoulder a few times, but from Jiang Chen's laughter, she knew that it definitely didn't hurt at all.

Of course, Jiang Chen is just saying that, he is not so beastly to actually "eat" Yao Yao. And Sun Jiao's slender waist didn't look like she would grow fat.

"By the way, you can find a few careful and reliable people to get rid of the production date and other signs on these things. This thing can't be sloppy at all... Or it's up to you and Yao Yao. I will do it myself. In the future, I will try my best to find a way to directly get the kind of goods that are not printed on the packaging. "

After repeatedly reminding Sun Jiao of the things that need attention, he once again traveled back to the present world.

Looking at the empty warehouse, Jiang Chen walked out the door without doing anything. Locked the door of the warehouse, and then cautiously checked again whether the warehouse could be seen from the outside. After that, he went straight to the side of the road, stopped a taxi and headed back to the city.

In the car, he took out his mobile phone and called Xia Shiyu.

-

-

"What? Are you going to go abroad for a while? How long?" Xia Shiyu unexpectedly didn't show too much surprise about Jiang Chen's disappearance for a while, or it was already a surprise.

At least this time Jiang Chen reported his whereabouts, so that there was no news. Last time, Xia Shiyu was so frightened that he thought he had an accident and almost contacted the police to find him.

"Well, it won't be long, business matters. We'll be back in a week or so."

"What about the company..." Xia Shiyu sighed, her voice rather helpless.

"Of course I'm asking you, hehe..."

"..." Hearing Jiang Chen's hippie smile, Xia Shiyu rubbed his temples with a wry smile.

"I have put all the game data in the U disk, and I will send it to your downstairs later. You must be more familiar with the approval procedures of the Incineration Department than I am. , wait for me to come back and invite you to a big meal." Jiang Chen felt that his face was getting thicker and thicker, and said with a smile.

"Invite me to eat for a week!" Xia Shiyu said viciously through gritted teeth.

"No problem, it will be done in a month!" However, the hearty voice from the other end of the phone made her feel like she had nowhere to go.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Shiyu put the phone aside, leaned on the back of the sofa and let out a breath.

The damn guy...

But now that he is his subordinate again, if it was before, it would be fine...

Thinking of the past, she suddenly fell silent. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little bit of concern for her driving away Jiang Chen. Thinking of her miserable life after losing her job, she suddenly felt bad.

Guilt? disturbed? Blame yourself?

can not say it clearly.

Resting the back of his head on the back of the sofa, Xia Shiyu stared blankly at the ceiling as if he was thinking about something.

She likes this modern apartment very much. The composite structure of the upper and lower floors is compact and comfortable. Although at work, she is usually a stern look. But in life, she is unexpectedly a woman with a very good taste in life.

With a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, she took out half of it as housing expenses. She doesn't feel bad about this expense at all, because in her consumption concept, earning money is to improve the quality of life, and excessive savings is just a manifestation of lack of confidence in the future.

Besides, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to urge her to pay back the money, so she was not in such a hurry to save the money.

However, what she didn't even notice was that she, who always paid attention to planning her expenses reasonably, didn't take the deposit and repayment into her monthly expenses at all.

Looking at the exquisite crystal chandelier in a trance, Xia Shiyu suddenly thought of the poor life she spent in the low-rent housing that rented 800 yuan a month. At that time, she had to plan carefully even for a meal.

For some reason, a man's face suddenly appeared in her mind.

It's a face that's always hilarious.

To be honest, Xia Shiyu, who has always been accustomed to being serious, hated that hippie smile that was not serious.

However, that face made her unable to hate it...

Xia Shiyu touched her lips dully, she couldn't understand the question.

A throbbing that she had never felt in her heart.

Why is this...

Forget it, I don't want to. She shook her head, sat up from the sofa, picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned off the currently playing variety show.

Jiang Chen will come to deliver the USB flash drive later. It's not good to see him like this. Let's take a shower first... Thinking of this, Xia Shiyu went back to the bedroom and took out the one she was going to put on from the closet. Clothes, then walked into the bathroom, and closed the frosted glass door.

Looking at the splashing water under the nozzle, letting the crystal water droplets wash over her fair skin, Xia Shiyu froze again.

Huh?

Speaking of which, after the late run just now, didn't I wash it once...
