War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 241 Soliciting Investment and Making Movies

It took nearly two days to return to the Volgograd studio, and Wei Ran took the authenticator hidden in the food box and knocked on Nikolai's door again.

This time, without waiting for the other party to ask, he took the initiative to describe in detail what happened in Shudong Bookstore.Then, at the request of Nicholas, he logged into the email page.At the same time, I also found two more unread emails in the inbox.

Open them one by one, one of them shows that a mobile phone number needs to be bound, and the other shows that only a mobile phone number can be opened.With no choice, Wei Ran completed the binding with his mobile phone number, and then successfully opened the second email.

In this email, there is only a photo of a strange old man and a group of numbers that seem to be irregular.

Nicholas looked at the old man in the photo for a long time, and then said to Wei Ran with a smile, "Okay, there is nothing else, thank you for making two trips for me. I will keep this mailbox for you. I'm old, but I can't learn how to use this kind of high-tech stuff."

"Mr. Nicholas" Wei Ran looked at the other party hesitantly, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Don't think about it"

Nicholas pointed to the authenticator still connected to the phone, "I just want to confirm some things, as for this little thing, you can keep it for yourself. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can try to use that email to contact Kajianka. She will help you as much as she can. If she needs your help in trouble, she may contact you. Of course, you can choose to refuse."

"Should we keep this matter from Karp and Teacher Dalia?" Wei Ran asked tentatively.

"What do you think?" Nicholas smiled happily, then Shi Shiran got up and walked towards the bedroom.

Bidding farewell to this mysterious old man with more and more doubts, Wei Ran returned to the studio with the authenticator, locked the door, took out the food box, put the authenticator in, and checked it by the way What's in this food box.

Except for the various seasonings stuffed in and the authenticator just put in when I returned to China last time, the rest of the first floor of the food box is filled with magazines full of bullets.As for the second floor, there are only some spare cash and the metal box full of poisonous needles.

Getting up and taking out the broken oil barrel worth 20 euros from the storage room, Wei Ran began to think about how to prepare for the next battle.

From the badge of the 15th Armored Division of the German Wehrmacht in World War II and the khaki paint painted on this oil barrel, as well as the gold coins in the video that Herbert showed a few days ago, it can be confirmed that this oil barrel is not accidental. Definitely from the North African battlefield.

Since it is the battlefield in North Africa, there is a high probability that it is in the desert. Considering this, it is undoubtedly the most sensible choice to put more water on the second floor of the food box.

Thinking of this, Wei Ran stuffed the box of poisonous needles and cash into the safe, then carried the food box into the kitchen, after some comparison, found a stainless steel basin that just fit into the second floor of the food box, and then took it from the refrigerator He dug out two large bottles of frozen mineral water and filled them up.

After pondering for a while, he felt that there was still something missing, and Wei Ran rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find a bottle of refreshing oil and two bottles of Huoxiangzhengqi oral liquid that had not expired when he was a tour guide for his aunt. He tore off the package and cleaned it. Throw it into a stainless steel basin filled with mineral water.

"And anti-tank guns"

Wei Ran muttered to himself, put away the food box and took out the anti-tank gun, removed the bullets in several magazines one by one, and replaced them with the original 70 rounds of ammunition locked in the safe that came with the gun.

The only preparations were made in advance, but Wei Ran was not in a hurry to take out the metal book. These days, he was running around almost like the back of his head, and there was no idle time at all. Anyway, he had to rest and rest.

Unfortunately, almost at the same time he stuffed the broken oil barrel back into the storage room, someone slammed the locked rolling door.

Before he could fully push the shutter door to the top of his head, Ji Ma had already bent down and got in.

"When did you come?" Wei Ran simply closed the shutter door again.

“I arrived yesterday”

Ji Ma opened the refrigerator familiarly, dug out a can of cold Coke, raised his neck and drank it, and then sat down on the edge of the long table with a comfortable face, and continued to explain, "Mr. Nikolai's motorcycle had some problems this morning. I helped him fix it before I came back. What about you? Why did you come back?"

Wei Ran smiled, and replied casually, "I helped the client go to Germany to investigate something, what's the matter? What do you want me to do?"

"Something really happened"

Jima hesitated for a moment, and said a little uncomfortable, "I wanted to ask Mr. Nicholas for help, but he suggested that I come to you."

"What? Which girl's belly did you make bigger?" Wei Ran sat opposite Ji Ma and teased.

"Nothing"

Ji Ma gave Wei Ran a middle finger, and finally let go of the burden in his heart during the teasing, and said straightforwardly, "Victor, I hope you can invest in Inta's camp."

"Invest in Inta's camp?" Wei Ran looked at the other party puzzled, "What's the investment method? Are you still thinking about building a glass house there?"

"I have already resolved the matter of the glass house, and it will be put into use in October."

Jima opened the satchel while talking, took out a few blueprints from it and handed it to Wei Ran, "I plan to take advantage of the summer months to repair the astronomical telescope behind the abandoned military base. I bought it from there before. Mr. Galkin, a broken rock, you remember? He offered me $27."

“The price is not expensive”

Wei Ran couldn't help but said that he was very impressed with that astronomical telescope. For such a large optical telescope, if you want to restore it to a usable state, it only costs 27 US dollars, which is very cheap.

"In addition to the 27 US dollars, the ternary computer is also his." Jima said the other party's second repair condition with a heartbroken face.

"Anyway, it's useless for you to keep that crap, but are you really willing to invest such a large cost?"

"I don't want to, even if I do, I don't have that much money for the time being." Ji Ma said, "That's why I hope you can invest in that camp."

"Okay, how far are you?" Wei Ran said while getting up and walking towards the safe not far away.

"17 dollars"

Ji Ma replied awkwardly, "If you don't want to invest, I will return you 20 US dollars within five years. If you are optimistic about that camp, you can also choose to become its shareholder."

"See for yourself"

As Wei Ran said, he took out the [-] euro cash left by Herbert a few days ago and piled it directly on the table, "This is [-] euro, you take it first, and in a week at most, I'll put it away I'll give you the rest."

Jima looked at the cash scattered on the table, then turned his head to look at Wei Ran, and after recovering, he was so happy that he almost saw the back molars, "Victor, you bastard almost moved me, you Are you not afraid that I will take the money and run away?"

"You try to run?"

Wei Ranmu closed the safe door indifferently, so what if Ji Ma escaped?The largest shareholder of the broken military base is Hongqi Forest Farm. If Ji Ma had 100 guts, he would not dare to ask Mr. Karp and Dalia to help him take the blame for such a small amount of money.

"I'm going to become a rich man in Russia in the future, how could I run away for this little money?"

While talking, Ji Ma slid all the cash on the table into his satchel, "I'll be free until October, if there's anything I need to do, just tell me."

Hearing this, Wei Ran's heart moved, and he said with a smile, "If you are really free, you can go to Finland."

"Why go to Finland?" Jima asked puzzled.

"Making a movie" Wei Ran explained with a smile, "A client of mine is going to make a movie. If you are interested in playing a guest role, I can ask for you."

"Movie? What kind of movie?" A wretched expression immediately appeared on Ji Ma's face.

"A movie about wearing clothes" Wei Ran helplessly corrected the other party's imagination, "Would you like to try something about World War II?"

"Can I be an actor?" Ji Ma fell into self-doubt while being moved.

"Don't worry, all the actors are amateurs. Even Professor Alexei can do it. Why can't you? Besides, if you become popular, maybe even your two broken camps will become popular."

Wei Ran continued to cheer and encourage the other party without getting tired of it. He encouraged Ji Ma to join in the shooting of the amateur movie, and he had no bad intentions.It's just to give this brother a hand.

After all, no matter what, now I have a glamorous historian as a disguise, but Jima doesn't have one, and now I have the opportunity to give him a hand.If he can really use that movie as a small hit, at least he can get rid of his inherent image of "just a little bastard" in everyone's mind.

Of course, if the luck is good, it is really as he expected, and it will be a good thing for Wei Ran himself.After all, according to the old saying in the Huaxia textbook, this is more or less "talking and laughing, there are great scholars, and there are no white people", isn't it?

On the other hand, Ji Ma, after hesitating for a long time through gritted teeth, he tentatively asked, "Then let me try?"

"Try it, even if it doesn't work, just go out and play." Wei Ran gave the other party a second reassurance with a smile.

"Then try it!" Ji Ma's tone this time finally became extraordinarily certain.

Seeing this, Wei Ran took out his mobile phone and called Ralph without saying a word, and simply communicated his thoughts with the other party.Ralph immediately agreed in a hurry. They didn't have enough actors on their side, and now there is a big guy who is willing to audition, which is naturally very welcome.

With [-] euros plus a chance to make a movie, the beaming Jima was sent to Finland to report by himself. After locking the shutter door, Wei Ran turned his mobile phone into airplane mode, and then got into the kitchen, planning to get some delicious rewards Take it easy on your own, so that when you go to the North African battlefield and can't eat or drink, you don't even have a direction to miss.
