Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1541 Road to Laos
The boss is the boss after all, if he was betrayed by the people below, he would be reconciled, without further ado, he just kicked up, and then pointed at the other people and said: "Damn it, if I don't die for a day, I still have the final say! "

Then he said to me: "I'll give you a code, don't come back after you pass the urban area, and I will manage this place from now on, otherwise, even if I die, I won't give you the code!"

I nodded and said, "It's fair! But, you have to let everyone outside of me come in here, and I promise I won't take your job!"

Brother Pingtou hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Then you have to pay, otherwise, no one can do anything!"

I hummed and said, "Yes!"

I took out the last stack of money on my body, the boss nodded, and then said: "One piece per person, let me tell you, as many people as you want, do you have any objection?"

I looked at the wad of money and thought that basically anyone with a dry eye could come in, so I agreed.

The door was opened a crack, and countless people wanted to break in. When the gunshots rang out, they all backed away. The soldiers asked me to count people.

I hurriedly looked around, pointing to Ganba and Huya Brothers, telling them to come here quickly, and then let Ganba point to my tribe, and walked in one by one. The soldiers counted the banknotes in their hands, and there was really one more person They are not allowed in.

There is really no other way now, the elderly, children and backbones are all brought in, and the rest can only wait for other opportunities.

Looking at the anxious family members outside, I thought about going out by myself, and another person came in, but I stopped him and said, "Are you stupid? You went out, what about the people here? What are you in a hurry for? You come in Now, there is naturally a way to slowly let people from outside come in!"

Soon, Brother Pingtou cleared out a warehouse and let all the dry people live in it. With a place to shelter from the wind and rain, there was no artillery attack, so he settled down.

At night, there were noises outside. Many armored vehicles came outside the gate of the camp. The high beams illuminated the entire camp as if it were daytime. A group of soldiers surrounded all the refugees who were waiting outside to enter the camp. They all squatted on the ground and shouted outside.

A soldier officer from a refugee camp went out, what was he negotiating with the other party?Then, he walked in and closed the door, and all the soldiers inside were holding guns, looking like they were about to go to war.

I called Brother Pingtou and asked, "What are they shouting outside?"

Brother Pingtou replied: "They want a man named Eisen, saying that as long as you hand over Aishen, people inside and outside can get themselves, and you can go wherever you want? If you can't call him out, you have to send him Step on the ground yourself!"

I frowned, looked at Brother Pingtou's calm face, and asked puzzledly, "Aren't you afraid?"

Brother Pingtou cut his head and said, "What are you afraid of? They just said, do you think they really dare to do something? This is not their territory. If they step into this border, they are invading our country. It means that we are going to declare war on us! We are not afraid of them, they are all bluffing! How many years have they been clamoring, how dare they really come over? Even if there is only one soldier on our side, they dare not take a step forward! "

Sure enough, they yelled for a long time, but they didn't dare to take any action. In the end, they had no choice but to start massacring the refugees who wanted to come in, trying to force the people inside out.

Ganba watched his people die, and wanted to go out to fight them, but I stopped him with all his might, and taught him a lesson: "You go out to die? They just spent an extra bullet! Don't be stupid, there will be you A day of revenge, not now, if you go out now, you will die!" Then someone pulled him inside.

The gunshots rang intermittently all night, and when we came out the next day, there were corpses everywhere outside the door, and they had already withdrawn!
Ganba wanted to go out to collect the corpse, but I stopped him again and said: "People are dead, do you still care about those forms? Living well is the greatest respect for them!"

Gan Ba ​​regretted: "If I can bring them in, they won't die! If I don't bring them out, they won't die either!"

I frowned and blamed: "If you don't bring them out, they have already been buried in the Valley of the Dead just like Brother Hua. When they come out, it is hope. Aren't there so many people who are still alive? Don't think too much, these people are alive people, I still have to rely on you!"

Ganba counted them. Among the surviving people, including the elderly and children, there were a total of 45 people. There were only about 20 people with combat effectiveness, and the other 7 were women. Ganba was very confused about where to go.

I finally gave him a suggestion: "Go back to your hometown. Although it is very poor there, it is your hometown after all. As long as you work together, you will get rich. When I settle down, I will invest in you!"

Looking at the surrounding environment, Ganba said in despair: "Do we still have a chance to return to our hometown?"

I asked confidently, "Do you believe me?"

He nodded sincerely.

I said again: "As long as we can leave this refugee camp, I will find a way to send you all back!"

Next, I asked Brother Pingtou to distribute the food and supplies in their warehouse. Although I was very reluctant, he had to do so under my threat, otherwise he would be the one who was hungry.Especially, when he saw Brother Huya, he looked even weaker when compared with his giant brother.

The once-a-week delivery time is coming soon. In order to force out Brother Pingtou's secret signal and prevent him from doing bad things at critical times, he has to investigate him thoroughly.

His name is Shan Thanaxin, which is transliterated. He is half Lao and half Burmese.He is a veteran who was originally an instructor for recruits here, but because he offended his superiors, he was sent here. Many of the soldiers who guarded here were formerly his subordinates and were trained by him.

There are 6 children and 2 wives in the family, and they are all waiting for him to take the money back. He is a small supervisor here, responsible for subcontracting drugs. In fact, he earns very little every month. The advantage is that there is no risk, but recently The many refugees who came here gave him a headache. After all, this is where he works and lives, and he doesn't want to see dead people here every day. He thinks that after a while, he can earn some money and bribe his boss, so he can be transferred back to the to the city.

I promised him that if we can really go to the urban area without being hunted down, I will give him a sum of money, not only to ensure that he can support his family, but also to bribe his superiors and transfer him back to the urban area, but only if It is he who must cooperate with me completely and make no mistakes, otherwise, not only will he not be able to escape, but his family will also be implicated.

At this moment, I realized Essen's way of employing people and the benefits of the carrot-and-stick policy. To control a person, the temptation of money is important, but it is not reliable. It is the safest way to blackmail him with the people and things he cares about most. of!
After learning the whole process of the transaction and the secret code, I stopped embarrassing him and handed over the management of the camp to him again. Then I discussed with Xiao Hei and Yaoyang how to escape from this place in this transaction. All the refugee camps, go to the city.

The safest way is to pretend to be Pingtouge's people and go to the city to trade with their people, but the biggest problem is that we don't speak the local dialect, so we need ourselves, we can't count on Pingtouge, once he really If you betray the water, we will all die, and the whole army will be wiped out!
In the end, after asking around dryly, he found a woman among his tribe. She had a Laotian husband. She could speak Laotian and could translate for us. At the same time, Brother Pingtou had to cooperate with us.

It is actually very dangerous for us to do so, but there is really no good way, and this is the only way to go.

On the day of the transaction, two military vehicles came. After the leader got off the vehicle, he didn’t say anything, just checked the code with me, and went to the back of the warehouse to pick up the goods. Stopped and told us that only three people can go at most.

After thinking about it, there was no other way, so I had to let Xiao Hei, Shi You and I go last time, and finally added a female translator.

After driving out of the refugee camp, I went straight to the urban area. The scenery I saw along the way can only be said that this country and the city are still in the developing stage. It reminds me of our urban area in the 90s. Many places on the road are still dirt roads. There are many small merchants and hawkers on the side, most of them are buying all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

On both sides of the street are small buildings with 4 or 5 floors. The street is full of garbage, and people don't look too rich in clothes. Occasionally, a few luxury cars can be seen.

We unloaded goods at the end of a street. This is an abandoned bus station, where there are many scrapped buses. When the bus arrived, two buses lying in the middle, after starting, gave way to a gap. When we drove in, the rear of the bus joined together again, and a group of soldiers with guns surrounded us.

Judging by their clothes, they don't look like regular soldiers, but more like militiamen. The head who traded with us waved his hand, signaling for everyone to disperse, and then directed us to move the goods.

We moved the goods into a container, and a fat man was sitting inside, counting the money. He watched us move the goods in and asked a lot.

The female translator we brought over said: "He is asking, why did you change people this time?"

I followed my own thinking and said, "Tell him, I will complete the future transactions, and we will only charge half of the original price!"

The female translator finished answering weakly. I originally thought that the fat man would be very happy, but I didn't expect him to turn his face on the spot.

Throw the money on the table and order people to arrest us all.

I asked puzzled, "What does he mean by that?"

The female interpreter chatted with the fat man, and the female interpreter said nervously: "He said that the rules are set by him, and you don't count!"

I was a little angry and said, "Tell him that the refugee camp is now my people. If he wants to have the final say, let him control the refugee camp first! Without me, his future goods will have to In addition, find a place to unpack and subcontract! I only want half of the original, which is already giving him face!"

After the female interpreter finished speaking, the fat man jumped into a rage and pointed at me and cursed. I didn't care, because I didn't understand anyway, but he didn't think the tone would be easy to hear.

I unhurriedly moved the last box of goods, then sat opposite him and said, "I don't know if you can understand me, how do I see you, how do you look like a Chinese? Let me tell you very clearly, The refugee camp is in my hands now, if you don’t want your goods to go wrong, just cooperate with me, it’s not bad for you at all, and it can save you money, and you don’t need to know anything else!”

Just as the female translator was about to translate, the fat man suddenly said, "How do I know who you are? He came over to me suddenly and told me that if you want to cooperate with me, you still need half the money. How could I trust you?"

I cut it and said: "You don't have to trust me, you just have to pay the money when the goods arrive, so you won't suffer a loss! As for your partner, don't you do the same, don't you see who it is? The code is right. Just do it!"

The fat man thought for a while and said, "Then what do you want to exchange half of the salary for?"

I replied very readily: "I want my people to come and go freely, as long as they come and go freely!"

The fat man asked puzzledly, "Who are you?"

I shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, as long as I can save you money! Moreover, since I can control the refugee camp, it shows my strength and I am qualified to cooperate with you!"

The fat man nodded helplessly and said, "I'll get you a few passes. You can enter and leave the city at any time, but only for a few of you! Recently, the government has been very strict about smuggling people!"

I groaned and asked, "How do you know we came here illegally?"

The fat man made a cut and said, "What's the problem? You came from a refugee camp. Doesn't that explain everything?"

The transaction was completed very smoothly. We walked around the city for a while, thinking about how to go back to China?Should I go to the embassy for help?
I went to the only big bank in the city, took some money, bought some necessities, got on the military vehicle again, and returned to the military camp.

After learning that Fatty and I had reached an agreement, Brother Pingtou's last hope of seizing power was completely shattered, so he came to find me and began to open his heart to me.

I said patiently; "I said, I will not want your power here, I will leave soon, you have to find a way to control the soldiers here, aren't they all your subordinates before? Get it done They, let them all become your soldiers, who will take your place? At that time, even the fat man will have to listen to you!"

Brother Pingtou shook his head and said, "They are managed by the government and won't listen to me! Again, they often change posts, and they are not the same group of people. It is very difficult for me to buy them all!"

I said disdainfully: "Why are you so stupid? To catch a thief, you have to catch the king first! Talk to their boss, what's so difficult about it, they don't really want to serve the country, do they? Under the circumstances, they will not listen!"
