“Welcome, you must be Mr. Jiang Chen, a mysterious oriental friend.” As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Chen saw a white man with blond curly hair greet him with a smile, without knowing where he came from. The poses learned from the Chinesesekungfu movie have arched their hands.
Although he is white, Jiang Chen feels that Roberts ’face is not too white, and his rough skin is like rolling in the sand. However, the clean and tidy appearance and courteous manners can still make people feel respected.
“Fortunately, I must be Mr. Roberts. Mr. Bruce introduced you to me.” The expression on Jiang Chen’s face was a little weird, but he arched his hands with a smile to express his friendliness.
Honestly, when you see a foreigner greet with a “Chinese greet pose in the eyes of a foreigner,” I feel a little funny when I look at it. This sentence may be a little tangled, but in short it means this …
“Bruce is a good guy. He once blocked my gun for me in the Middle East. I am very happy to meet him here again. Haha, there is a Chinese proverb: A friend ’s friend is my friend, I said Is that right? “Roberts reached out his hand
“Yes. Mr. Roberts ‘Chinese is amazing.” Jiang Chen shook Roberts’ hand and shook heartily.
It should be right, although Jiang Chen does n’t know if that sentence is a proverb …
“Haha, that’s nature. I’ve always been interested in this mysterious eastern country. There are business opportunities everywhere.” Roberts looked at Jiang Chen with a sharp gaze, and made a gentle gesture of invitation, ” Inside, please, my friend. I have a bottle of 82-year-old Rafi here. Haha, I want to try it early. “
“Then respect is worse than obedience.” Jiang Chen arched his hand.
Unlike the new wine supplied in the villa, this blood-red liquid has a mellow taste. Even Jiang Chen, who was not used to drinking red wine, couldn’t help but secretly admire, it was really good wine!
The man who always stood on the side was motionless like wood, but Jiang Chen could feel the breath of the beast coming from him. Although wearing sunglasses, the prominent frontal bones and the high nose bridge of the Slavic character are still more obvious on the man’s face, and the bear-like temperament vaguely highlights the nationality of his fighting race.
“My bodyguard, Nick Kaczynski, Belarusian. Oh, we met in Ukraine. He is also a good guy, responsible for my safety.” Roberts noticed Jiang Chen’s eyes, so he He smiled and introduced to Jiang Chen, “Although Bruce is a good person, sometimes Blackwater International does things that are not very kind, they are too close to the FBI, so I changed my partner.”
Even if I heard talking about myself, the sculptural bodyguard atmosphere did not fluctuate at all.
“Are you doing something dangerous?” Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair and asked in a gossip tone, “Listen to Bruce, you are a famous middleman in the United States. Oil and gold?”
“Yes. Because in addition to the safer crude oil and gold, I sometimes have to get some arms and other things for the employer. Once these things get on, someone will inevitably want your life.”
Roberts lit a cigar, and then politely handed Jiang Chen one, “The control of firearms in your country is very strict, and here is a paradise for me. But the good times are always It ’s short, for example, I have another flight to South Africa at three o’clock, “
“Doesn’t time matter?” Jiang Chen raised his eyes and looked at the clock, it was already 11 o’clock.
“It doesn’t matter,” Roberts waved his hand with a smile, and then sat up straight. “I am very interested in Mr. Jiang Chen’s business. I don’t know if there is any place I can help?”
Jiang Chen was stunned, shaking the ash on his cigar, and could not help sitting upright.
“I hope you do n’t get me wrong, my friend, I just accidentally heard your talk with Bruce at the dinner. This is purely accidental. But are n’t business opportunities always born by chance? You know, I I have always been interested in the business in the Far East, but all of this is in the exploration stage … My instincts tell me that we must have a place to cooperate with. “
“Oh?” Jiang Chen did not accuse him of eavesdropping on private conversations, but raised his eyebrows with a little interest. “For example?”
“Mr. Jiang Chen should use gold to settle business, but as far as I know, your country ’s laws and strict regulatory system, the sale of large amounts of gold is bound to attract the attention of the government. Moreover, there is no ‘ Invoice’s gold. “
“It seems that Mr. Roberts knows a lot about our national conditions. However, is it okay to sell gold in the United States?” Jiang Chen smiled and said indifferently.
“Same problem, but we talk about the law, the evidence, and not the (political) governance. I have a very professional team responsible for handling this kind of trouble for me. Even though the FBI and I have a little conflict recently, I still Did n’t you get caught? ”Roberts shook the soot on the cigar and smiled mysteriously.“ I will make an analogy about how to deal with it. I registered a shell company in Saudi Arabia. I got a batch from Iran Crude oil, according to the embargo agreement, my approach is illegal. But if this batch of crude oil is transported into my shell company in Saudi Arabia, it will not be long before this batch of crude oil will appear on the international market for legal sale. ” /
You told me all about this, you are not afraid of being eavesdropped?
Randomly, Jiang Chen suddenly realized that he must have such a powerful bodyguard, and he could not do enough for the anti-eavesdropping work.
Jiang Chen immediately understood what Mr. Roberts meant.
Emotions, the middleman also has a business dealing with black goods, which is interesting.
“So, we really have the possibility of cooperation.” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
“I’m an honest businessman,” Roberts smiled happily when he saw the deal closed. “No matter how much it is, I can eat it. Your gold can only be joined by my mining company in South Africa The program can appear on the international market legally. Of course, you do n’t have to worry about the specific operation, you can directly sell gold to me. And I only charge a handling fee of 9%. “
Jiang Chen thought for a moment.
The handling fee for% 9 is not too high. After all, his gold is sold without capital. A small amount of shots may be eaten by ordinary gold shops, but if Jiang Chen really moved out ten tons of gold, I am afraid that no shop would dare to accept it. Even if sold in batches, the risk of being targeted is high. Moreover, the man named Liu Anshan always gave him a bad feeling. I’m afraid his hands aren’t very clean, but I don’t know how to beat him.
Be careful. Although it is suspected of smuggling large amounts of gold overseas, I believe that Roberts has his channels to solve this problem.
At this time, Roberts was not sure about Jiang Chen ’s silence, and the 9% fee might seem a little higher, but he did not have any risk in doing this business. As long as he is preparing funds, he is busy. If the transaction amount exceeds US $ 20 million, he will not be able to sell it even if he sells all his assets. Wanting to do this business, he also had to get in touch with acquaintances to find a way to get a private loan. The interest on the loan is not a small number.
However, if the amount of gold in Jiang Chen’s hands is large enough, there is still one point of space for the handling fee to be adjusted.
Just when Roberts was preparing to tentatively cut prices, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his mouth.
“No problem, but I have a condition.”
Jiang Chen’s words made Roberts stunned for a moment, and then showed a happy expression.
“I can guarantee the quality of gold, it is thousands of gold, which is the 24K gold you often say. In this respect, I believe you also have special talents to identify.” Nonsense, can there be fake in the bank vault? The fake ones are all sold out! Cough, “However, you are responsible for transportation. I am only responsible for transporting gold to a certain place in the country. Also, gold and US dollars are handed over on the spot. I will no longer be responsible for the safety of gold after I leave.” /
“No problem! My friend.” Roberts readily agreed, “It seems my deal has been reached?”
“Yes, cooperation is happy.” Jiang Chen extended his right hand readily.
“Happy cooperation.” Roberts smiled and took Jiang Chen’s hands, and the two stood together.
“This is my business card. If Mr. Jiang Chen is ready, you may call me to make an appointment. Also, it is better to prepare a Swiss bank account, which is more convenient.”
“Of course, I wish you a successful business.” Jiang Chen took the business card.
“Can I know in advance? I don’t know how much Mr. Jiang Chen’s goods are. I’m ready to have enough liquidity.” Just in case, Roberts asked this awkward question.
“Oh, this is not urgent, I will call you around July 15th. As for the amount of gold, there are probably a few tons.” After that, Jiang Chen left the room and left a face Shocked Roberts.
The expression on Roberts’s face fell into a dull state, so that the precious cigar fell to the ground without even noticing.
How many tons? How many tons is it?
According to the recent market, if you calculate a whole ounce of gold at 1350 US dollars, a ton of gold would be 433402500 US dollars! At a 9% handling fee, as long as 3 tons of gold can bring him tens of millions of dollars in income!
9%! This is a rhythm to earn madness.
It’s simply lying down to make money.
Several tons of gold … he will do it even at a 7% handling fee. To what extent does it get rich, he will not even bother to pay back. At the same time, it also made Roberts more affirmed his guess, this batch of gold is indeed black goods.
What kind of business can get so much gold? Did he rob the CICC?
“… His, God,” Roberts took a long time to recover and took a breath. “Good guy, I’m going to get rich now.”
Selling 10,000 tons of crude oil is only more than half a million dollars in profit, and you have to risk being seized by the U.S. Navy and the risk of being investigated by the FBI … However, Jiang Chen decided to start Billions of dollars in transactions.
“Nick, do you think this oriental friend is reliable?” Roberts asked softly in a dreamlike way. He naturally knew that Nick didn’t understand business matters. At this moment, he just wanted to let someone wake him up.
“Sorry boss, I don’t understand very well,” Nick shook his head silently as Roberts expected, but after a moment of meditation, Nick continued, “But this Oriental is a dangerous guy.”
“Oh? Will he still have Chinese kung fu?” Roberts laughed scornfully, and also put a Bruce Lee’s pose in a funny way. He didn’t believe these things.
Nick looked at the boss of Shuabao and shook his head silently. He is very familiar with this boss. Whenever he is excited, he will always do some strange-looking actions to express his excitement.
“With the intuition of a soldier, he may be stronger than Bruce’s guy.” It is his duty to take charge of the boss’s safety, and Nick spoke his intuition very seriously.
Roberts froze, frowning slightly.
“Are n’t he a businessman? … No, I do n’t think people should be wrong.”
Nick hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“Perhaps he is a businessman, but his skill should not be weak. My instinct tells me that if he holds a firearm, he is not my opponent. But if it is empty, I only have a 50% chance of winning.”
Roberts was stunned, but he had seen Nick’s ability. At that time in Ukraine, he suddenly encountered a civilian armed attack when he dismissed the arms from the US government that the US government had instructed to sell. At that time, Nick immediately pulled the pistol from the waist of the dead government officer, and then with the remaining 9 bullets, and fought back, he successfully took Roberts to safety. More than ten civilian militants killed during this period.
Nick actually says that Jiang Chen’s melee ability may be comparable to him?
Suddenly Roberts laughed.
“The East is worthy of being a mysterious place, shall we go to Egypt next time to see? Hahaha …”
No wonder Jiang Chen did not employ bodyguards, because it turned out to be very powerful. In China, a country where guns are banned, it is indeed enough to be able to fight.
However, can Jiang Chen have anything to do with their transaction?
Roberts is an honest businessman. The spirit of contract makes him believe that credit can bring him long-term rewards. He will never do anything about killing chickens and eggs.
Even if he saw the diamond in the hand of a child in a refugee camp in Africa, he would only choose to exchange it with candy instead of bullets.
After all, the unit price of a bullet is much more expensive than candy.
Roberts has no doubt whether Jiang Chen really has tons of gold to sell, and he has no ability to investigate his details in this strange land in China. No risk can be called business?
Roberts is willing to gamble. Jiang Chen’s unhesitating gesture must be supported by gold.
What’s more, cheating him won’t bring Jiang Chen any benefits.
