Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1563 Chemical Plant

The other end of the pipe is connected to a still, which in turn is connected to the tank, forming a closed loop circuit.

Under normal circumstances, we should be able to smell the pungent drug smell, but we don't.

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the equipment started automatically. The black liquid flowed out of the tank, and flowed into the still through the pipe. The black liquid evaporated continuously, turned into a transparent liquid, and flowed into the tank again. The remaining black liquid flowed down another pipe to the drain.

I said puzzledly: "This is more like refining oil! It's not like making drugs!"

Laozi still said with certainty: "It's cocaine, if you don't believe me, look for the finished product!"

I knew that Lao Zai was a little angry, thinking that I didn't believe him, and hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just wondering why they would make such a large-scale equipment to make drugs? According to this scale, how much drugs would have to be produced?" ? Enough for the whole world!"

Suddenly, Xiao Hei made a silent gesture, and two people walked in. We hid behind the pipes. Because the factory was very noisy, we couldn’t hear what they were talking about. We just saw the two of them. A box of unknown dark things was dumped into a trough, and the whole device was turned on again by pressing a button.

Then, the two walked out again.

Xiao Hei came out afterward, and we didn't dare to stay here for too long, so we also followed.

There is a big factory outside, surrounded by factory buildings, and there are not many people.

After discussing with each other, we will go separately and meet here after an hour to see what's going on here?
I was with Shiyou, Yaoyang was with Guan Ze, Nangong was with Laozai, Xiao Hei didn't know where he went?
Shiyou looked at me and asked, "Where are we going?"

I watched them all disperse, pointed to the outside of the factory building and said, "Let's go out and have a look!"

Shiyou and I walked out of the factory secretly. There is no such thing as in the drug manufacturing village, where there are three steps for one post and five steps for one sentry. There are almost no people there. Hang out outside.

At first I was more vigilant, afraid that someone would see the two of us, but those people saw the two of us, as if nothing happened, not as nervous as I thought.

Walking inside, here is a large chemical industrial park, with old factory buildings and dormitory buildings for family members. Most people wear work clothes. The infrastructure is still quite good. You can see hospitals, schools and supermarkets, as well as buses and The most magical thing is the market and dance halls, which have everything, just like a small town.

Shiyou asked me in puzzlement: "The boatman said that he was not allowed to go to the island, and he only delivered fruits and vegetables to them once a week, but I see that there is everything here? There are even supermarkets, how could it be closed to the outside world?" Huh? It's not as nervous as they say, is it?"

I was also a little puzzled. The workers who came and went said: "Don't you think, this place really looks like a large state-owned enterprise in the 8s and 90s! Why is it called Alcatraz? Isn't this a chemical plant? The only The difference is that what is produced here is not chemical products, but drugs!"

The two of us found a Chinese restaurant and sat in. The boss turned out to be a Chinese. Seeing that we both looked awkward, he asked enthusiastically, "Are you new here? Which department are you going to?"

This stopped me, and I looked at him with some doubts.

The boss is very nice, and said with an oh: "Have you not been assigned yet? Don't worry, you will be paid when you land on the island, it's just that you earn more and less! Where are you from? Is the headquarters in Shanghai or the Shandong branch?" Factory?"

Only then did I see clearly that there was a "Hua Ke logo" on the work clothes of the workers eating next to me. I know these are employees of China Hua Ke Chemical Industry. This is a branch of Hua Ke Chemical? This is not a drug manufacturing company, but a state-owned company A large chemical listed company.

I hurriedly replied: "We are sent by the Guangdong base!"

The boss said with an oh: "It's a new base, no wonder! There are very few people coming from Guangdong. You can see that it is a skilled job. It must be popular here!"

I tried to inquire: "We didn't say before we came that we would be sent here. Didn't we say it was in Vientiane? Why did we come to this place where the birds don't shit? It's still an island!"

The boss explained with a smile: "I feel cheated? When they first came, they thought the same way. They were in Vientiane before. Didn't they get kicked out? The pollution is too serious, and the Lao people are not stupid. If my own country can’t do it anymore, I come to another country to pollute the environment. They definitely won’t do it either. It’s all good. I chose a place like this. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s a bit far from the city. For young people, it's a bit boring, but when you have money, you can also go to the center of the island to play. It's very exciting, but you have to work for at least three years, and you have to be guaranteed by someone to get in! Make money, make money, and enjoy it!"

At this time, there were customers again, and the boss helped us order the dishes, and then went to greet other people.

Both Shiyou and I showed surprised expressions, unbelievable, did we come to the wrong place? This is really a chemical factory, but we ran here to build a factory to avoid the supervision of the environmental protection department. It's not a drug production base, so I said, it's impossible to have such a large-scale equipment for drug production!

Looking at the customers in his store, they are all ordinary chemical factory workers, without a trace of disguise, they are not security guards at all, they are disguised!The topics of discussion are also production, technology, sales, and some short-lived things among parents.

Immediately let go of the defenses in my heart, and after a hasty meal, I listened to the conversations of several people, and confirmed that this is a chemical factory, and returned to the place where I just gathered. This time, Shiyou and I did not sneak around , walked in generously.

The few of them were still looking around very vigilantly, seeing me walking in ostentatiously, Yaoyang taught me: "Don't relax your vigilance at any time, you haven't been seen!"

I nodded my head and said, "I see, many people have seen me, Shiyou and I even had a meal!"

Yaoyang thought I was joking, but he looked at Shiyou and nodded seriously.

Several people couldn't help looking at the two of us curiously, and I asked Laozi, "Did you find anything in it?"

Lao Zai shook his head and said: "There are a few workers on duty, but none of them are armed, and they don't have any defenses. They don't look like armed personnel. The factory is also working normally. I don't think the machines have stopped, but the workers really rare!"

Yaoyang, on the other hand, grabbed me to eat, and continued to ask me: "You just said that you went to have a meal, is it true or not?"

I pursed my lips and said, "Really, if you don't believe what I say, you also don't believe what Shiyou says?"

Yaoyang scratched his head and said: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered? We are strangers here, once we are discovered, someone will definitely catch us soon! You have been exposed!"

Guan Ze also asked strangely: "I don't think you're nervous at all? What's going on outside?"

I smiled and said, "You'll know when you go out and see for yourself! We made ourselves so nervous, the outside is a town, and this is really a chemical factory, and these equipment are large-scale chemical equipment! The workers here are also A real chemical worker!"

Lao Zai didn't believe it: "Impossible, I can smell the smell of drugs, it can't be wrong!"

I looked at him again, Lao Zai dodged my gaze, Nangong gave me a blank look and said: "What are you looking at? Lao Zai smoked it before, it was all many years ago, if it wasn't for me, he would I won’t be infected with these drugs! He was trying to save me, the injury is too serious, and there is no anesthesia!”

I stopped Nangong's words and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with this! It's not that I don't believe in Laozai, but this is indeed a chemical plant. Let's go out and have a look later and we'll find out! But before we go out, we'd better Find some work clothes first, so the goal is not so big!"

Lao Zai nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I just saw a box of new work clothes, and the label!"

After finishing speaking, the person disappeared in a flash.

Nangong emphasized to me again: "Don't just..."

Shiyou said seriously: "He saved our lives!"

I followed up and said: "I said, we are all family members who share weal and woe, you really worry too much! Even if he is still taking drugs, I will accept him, but I will forcibly throw him into a drug rehabilitation center." , When did you quit, when did you let him out! If you don’t quit this thing, I’ll beat him to death!”

Nangong smiled and said, "Well, I would do the same if it were changed!"

When Lao Zai came back, he brought all the things in a box back. After everyone found their own suitable work clothes and changed into them, they even hung up their work badges and walked out of the factory in a big way.

After they walked out, they had the same first reaction as I did just now. After confirming that no one would pay special attention to us, they relaxed.

Shiyou and I had finished eating, but they were very hungry, so we hurriedly found a restaurant, sat down and ate.

Shiyou and I walked around and found that most of the people here are Chinese. Many of the people who come here to work here are from the system, and they are very friendly when they speak.

Dealing with strangers is what I'm best at. A stubble-faced elder brother should have been drinking all night and stood on the side of the road full of alcohol. When we passed by, he almost peed on me. on the shoes.

I glanced at him dissatisfied. If I were in my own home, I might scold this kind of person when I go up. When they quarreled, the eldest brother might take advantage of his drunkenness and become crazy about drinking.

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother immediately said to me with apologetic face: "I'm so sorry, I didn't see anyone coming!"

This made me feel embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, brother, people can't hold back after drinking, it's a common thing!"

When the elder brother heard it, he opened his mouth and said happily, "Oh, brother, where are you from? Why does it sound so kind?"

I was eager to find someone to ask about the situation here, and I got in touch, how could I miss such a good opportunity, thought for a while and replied: "Northeast, brother's accent is not like our Northeast prostitute!"

The eldest brother pursed his lips and said, "Why can't you hear it? I've been outside for a long time, so I can't have too much Northeast flavor, people say we are dirt!"

I pretended to be unhappy and said, "Then I have to say a few words about my elder brother. Why is our Northeast dialect so bad? Is it embarrassing for you? I always say that I am from the Northeast, why? I am proud!"

The eldest brother said with emotion: "No, I'm proud! It's just that there are too few people in the Northeast here, and they are always bullied. Why don't I change my accent!"

After finishing speaking, he came over and hugged me, and said enthusiastically: "Go, go, go, go in and have another drink, it's so rare, you can meet fellow villagers in this place! You can't leave today, let's have a drink with brother !"

Shiyou looked at me with some helplessness, and I waved my hand quietly, indicating that it was all right.

I followed my eldest brother into the restaurant where they were having dinner, and they all watched curiously as we walked in affectionately. Fortunately, no one greeted me and entered the box.

There is also a man and a woman in the box. The man has already drunk and fell asleep on the table, but the woman is holding a small wine glass and is still drinking by herself. Seeing the two of us walking in, she just glanced at me He glanced at him, and then said dissatisfiedly to his elder brother: "He also said that we northerners are straightforward in drinking, and all of them are virtuous. How much can we drink? It's not enough. One can't get up on the table, and the other can't get up by going to the toilet. I thought you ran away, so why call a helper back?"

The eldest brother blushed and hurriedly argued: "I didn't run away. People have three urgencies. Isn't this normal? This is not my helper. This is my fellow villager, my brother. It is too much for me to meet my brother here. It's not easy, so I'll call you in for a drink or two, second sister, you don't mind, do you?"

The second sister said carelessly: "What's the matter, it's not easy to go out, acquaintance is fate, and being able to sit down and drink together is a family, pour it for my big brother, and I will do it with him!"

Then he couldn't help but pour me a glass of white wine, drank it all by himself, and showed me the bottom of the glass.

I knew I had to drink it anyway, so I drank it in one gulp and showed it to her.

After sitting down, I took a closer look at this second sister. She has a beautiful face, but the years have left many marks on her face, and crow's feet are deeply engraved on her face. She has a slightly strong figure and dark skin. The reason is that she often works outdoors. She wears a set of whitish work clothes that she washed, with the sleeves rolled up and her arms open. A white underwear inside is tightly wrapped, revealing a deep career line. , but she didn't care, and seemed to enjoy the eyes of others.
