Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 511 Accidents and Crisis

At a small private airport in the west of Santa Barbara, Chu Qianqian stood next to a small plane and took out a small jewelry box from his arms.

He handed it to Zhang Tianzhi who had sent him over and said, "After my plane takes off, you go to the airport and get on the chartered flight to London.

Then give the jewelry to Margaret and tell her that I will fly to London to spend Christmas with her. "

Inside the jewelry box was a yellow diamond bracelet bought at Tiffany for $5.

Lest that girl Margaret, who hadn't seen him for more than a month, suddenly flew from London to Santa Barbara to find him at the ranch.

At the same time, Chu Xiangqian flew to Panama City this time, and planned to transport the iron ore collected in the novice village in the past two months to England on a freighter.

Six thousand tons are collected in one day, which is 18 tons in one month. Based on the price of US$11.2 per ton at this time, that is US$201 million per month.

If the price remained unchanged, it would be $2419 million a year.

Chu Xiangqian will definitely not give up on this business. After all, this is a net profit of 2420 million yuan a year.

And if you don't sell it for several years or more and keep accumulating it in the Novice Village warehouse, the quantity will be too large in the future and it will not be easy to sell it.

Moreover, the price of iron ore has always been stable, rising from around US$11 to US$4 or US$50 per ton a few decades later.

It's better to empty it every two or three months.

Of course, when Chu Xiangqian transported the iron ore to London, he also realized that England was an island country and had to import all kinds of raw materials.

Even though England's own coal and iron ore can still be mined at this time, most of England's iron ore is poor ore.

Not only are the reserves only enough to be consumed until the 70s, but the refining costs of lean ore are also very high.

The 7% iron-containing ore produced in Xinshou Village is a high-quality resource that England Steel Works will never give up.

In addition to the relationship with the royal family, there is no problem in selling the 36 tons of iron ore saved in two months, which is worth 402 million, or roughly 100 million pounds.

If you run into trouble, at worst, you can give Philips a commission, and he will definitely be very active in helping you sell this batch of iron ore.

By the way, I told the royal family that I could really get a large amount of iron ore.

Zhang Tianzhi nodded. Although he didn't know where Chu Xiangqian flew secretly, since he needed to cover for him, it was naturally a very important and confidential matter.

Chu Qianqian got on the plane, nodded to the pilot, and the plane quickly started, gliding slowly toward the runway, then soared into the sky and flew south.

After leaving American waters, the pilot knew that Chu Xiangqian could also fly a plane, so he simply indicated that he could try to control the plane by himself.

Flying in the sky is actually easier than driving.

Chu Xiangqian was not timid at all, and actually drove all the way to Panama.

However, when landing, the pilot will not risk his own life. As a pilot, he naturally trusts his own skills more.

After the plane landed, Chu Qianqian took out a few 20-dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to the pilot as a tip.

Then let him wait for his call in Panama City before flying back to the United States.

There are tips, and there are daily wages and accommodation fees, so the pilot naturally has no objections.

Chu Qianqian took his Peruvian passport, and after leaving the airport, he hailed a taxi. Then, while taking the car to the hotel, he directed the tits to find the hotel where Matsuno Ichiro was staying and investigate.

After making sure that there was no problem, Chu Xiangqian, who had already checked into another hotel, called Matsuno Ichiro from the public phone downstairs of the hotel.

Putting the 910 million US dollars in cash in the hotel suite, Chu Xiangqian went to the luxury private room by himself. While drinking beer, he stared at Ichiro Matsuno through his tits as he rushed over to collect the money.

The anti-tracking ability of ninjas is indeed very strong. There was nothing unusual behind Matsuno Ichiro along the way, and naturally no one followed him.

But this time Matsuno didn't take the money away. Eight money bags were too many and too heavy.

He had to make several trips alone to get the $910 million out of the room and put it in his car.

But during this period, only the devil knows whether the money left in the car will be stolen.

It's better to just call Frank from the Chicago Mafia to this hotel.

After handing the money to Frank and counting it clearly, whether Frank will be robbed later will have nothing to do with Chu Qianqian and Matsuno.

In a word, before the money is confiscated, if there is a problem with the money, Chu Xiangqian will be responsible.

That means the Chicago Mafia has to pay $910 million.

But if Frank accepts the money, what happens next will have nothing to do with Chu Xiangqian.

More than an hour later, Chu Qianqian looked through the tits and saw a car parked in front of the hotel. Frank got out of the car with two of his men and quickly entered the hotel.

Then I saw a man on a motorcycle parked outside a coffee shop not far from the hotel.

I sat on a seat outside the store, ordered a cup of coffee, and kept looking at the hotel entrance.

Chu Xiangqian immediately suspected that this man was targeting Frank.

I got up and walked to the phone, not in a hurry to make a call.

Instead, he let the tit fly to a window sill in the building opposite the suite where the $910 million was stored, waited until Frank knocked on the door, and then entered the suite alone.

While hugging Matsuno Ichiro, he picked up the phone and dialed the number in the room where Matsuno was.

The phone suddenly rang, startling Matsuno and Frank.

Matsuno frowned and thought for a few seconds, and soon realized that it was definitely the boss who was calling.

And something must have happened.

Ignoring Frank, who was looking wary and suspicious, he hurriedly picked up the phone and answered the call.

Then Matsuno looked shocked at first, and then cursed in his heart.

After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly walked to the window, hid behind the curtain and looked down.

When Frank saw this, he immediately understood that there might have been an accident and hurriedly followed him, but was stopped by Matsuno with his hand.

When he heard that he was being followed, the man was still staring at the hotel from a street seat in a coffee shop not far from the hotel.

Frank also became cautious and hid behind the curtains to look down. Sure enough, it didn't take long to search and he found a man holding a motorcycle helmet ten or twenty meters away, sitting on a street seat drinking coffee.

Ichiro Matsuno looked at Frank and asked, "There are two options now, either, I will transfer the money and make a new appointment, and you will ask me to withdraw the money?"
  Or, do you take people through the back door and take the hotel car away with the money?

If you choose the first option, we will charge additional commission. Not much, just 20%. "

Frank almost cursed, 910% of 20 million is US$182 million.

If this money were spent in the United States, it would be better.

But the money shipped to Panama City is used to buy flour, and the profit is several times higher when shipped to the United States.

Now there is a loss of US$182 million, which is equivalent to a loss of several million US dollars, or even seven to eight million US dollars.

And even if he agrees, Russell, the boss in Chicago, might suspect that he is up to something.

But letting Frank leave with the money now would not only endanger his own life, but he also now suspects that there may be a traitor among the two people he brought with him and the driver waiting in the car downstairs.

So even if you know in advance that someone is following you, you can call someone to come over and kill the person who is following you. Or ask two of your men to stop the man, and you and the driver can take the money and leave first.

But if there is a traitor, who knows if we will be in danger again.

By this time, Frank was not afraid of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. After all, these people's purpose was to commit crimes.

Catching themselves and the flour merchants was their main purpose.

But if you encounter gangsters, or other gangsters are targeting you, it will be really dangerous.

Fortunately, Frank's mind worked quickly and he hurriedly said to Matsuno Ichiro, "20% is no problem, but I hope to pay with food."

Matsuno Ichiro thought for a while, since the boss has been purchasing large quantities of grain recently, he might be eager to use grain as a deduction.

But whether this matter was decided privately, Ichiro Matsuno was a little undecided.

If you think wrong, you will definitely be punished.

When Frank saw him frowning and saying nothing, he thought he was trying to raise the price, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "I'll get you $210 million in food.

Including the 390 million that has been shipped to Panama City, we give you a total of 16.4 tons of wheat. "

Ichiro Matsuno did not hesitate this time, nodded and said, "We will only wait three days, and after this transaction. The next transaction point will be changed.

I will let you know exactly where it is. "

Frank didn't have a problem with that at all.

Since someone can target him, it means that Panama City is no longer safe.

You would be a fool not to change places.

However, it would be too troublesome to stay away from Colombia.

After all, flour merchants only want to see cash, not go to Europe or Asia to collect money.

When trading in Panama, not only can money be easily deposited into local banks, but there is no need to worry about Americans checking. Americans also have no right to check banks on offshore islands at this time.

Or transport it back to Colombia. You don’t need to bribe the border police. You can just take it away by speedboat and you can reach the Colombian coast in one or two hours.

Then transport it to Medellin by car, three or four hours is enough.

Frank thought for a while and then said, "If possible, it would be better to be in a Central American country. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for us to ask you to launder money."

When Ichiro Matsuno heard this, he also frowned and thought for a while before saying, "We won't talk about this in advance. We will talk about it after this time."

Frank had no choice but to nod.

As for whether Ichiro Matsuno was a thief, he sent someone to pretend to follow him, and then tried to swallow the US$910 million in cash.

Frank wasn't worried about this. If he really wanted to steal the money, he could just disappear.

Even if he and Russell knew that these people were from the island country, they didn't know who they were or even where to find them.

So after three transactions, to be honest, Frank and Russell actually trusted Matsuno Ichiro a lot and knew that these people were doing long-term business.

Besides, they also need food.

Of course, even trust has its limits, and it is impossible to increase the transaction amount every time.

If the other party is not tempted by the $1 million, there is no guarantee that if you get $1 million, $[-] million, or even $[-] million, you will still abide by the rules and credit.

Therefore, Frank and Russell had actually already thought about it, and the maximum transaction amount per transaction was 1 million.

When Frank wanted to leave, Matsuno Ichiro stopped him.

I searched the suite but couldn't find the duffel bag, so I simply dumped a bag of money on the bed.

Then he put a pillow into the empty bag containing money and handed it to Frank.

Frank's mouth twitched, but he hesitated for a few seconds before taking the bag from Matsuno's hand.

Although it is dangerous to go out with a bag, if you leave empty-handed, the person who is following you may target the hotel instead of continuing to follow you.

In that case, it would not be that easy to transfer $910 million.

Gritting his teeth, he nodded to Matsuno, and then heard Matsuno remind him, "Be careful of the people around you."

Frank naturally understands this truth, and even Pablo, who sells flour, is now the target of his suspicion.

After all, if he were Pablo, he would also want to deal directly with the people in the underground bank, so as not to need the involvement of the Chicago Mafia. It would be easier to be exposed, and at the same time, the Mafia would make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Frank suddenly felt that maybe Pablo's people were actually following him.

I just don’t have any evidence.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to prove this.

All you need to know is whether the motorcycle rider following you stays and continues to stare at the hotel when you leave with a handbag filled with pillows.

He wanted to remind the islanders in front of him, but when the words came to his lips, Frank suddenly swallowed them.

Take the opportunity to see how powerful these underground bankers are in terms of force and intelligence, in addition to holding a channel for laundering money.

He nodded to Matsuno Ichiro, picked up his bag and went out, taking his two men with him.

After he left, the phone in the suite rang again, and Matsuno Ichiro told everything in detail about what happened in the room.

He followed Chu Qianqian's instructions, put on some disguise, left the suite and walked directly to the roof of the hotel.

As long as he hides until night, he can climb down from the roof casually. He can even use the work he carries with him to slide down from the roof of the hotel to the roof of the building next to the hotel and then leave.

However, because he made the decision privately and traded the money in the hotel, Matsuno Ichiro was still scolded by Chu Qianqian.

Fortunately, because of this, Chu Xiangqian could easily contact him.

Otherwise, even if Titiya had been following Matsuno, who left with $910 million, and even if someone was also following Frank, it would be difficult for Chu Qianqian to contact him by phone.

He secretly cursed that not having a mobile phone would be troublesome, but he thought that he would still have to buy a few walkie-talkies with a communication range of several kilometers in the future.

Then he made a call in the island's Mandarin. Even if someone monitored the radio waves in Panama City like London did, it would be difficult to know what the monitored voice was saying in a short period of time.

By the time a translator was found, the deal would have been completed long ago.

And as long as the words money, flour, guns, etc. are not mentioned, the eavesdropper may not necessarily know that this is a money laundering transaction.

When Matsuno Ichiro appeared on the roof of the restaurant, Chu Qianqian immediately went downstairs, opened the door of the suite, and put all the 910 million into the Novice Village warehouse.

Later, after Frank's car left, the person following him didn't leave. Instead, he quickly walked into the cafe and made a phone call.

Chu Xiangqian immediately guessed that this person's target was most likely not Frank, but the person he was contacting.

Fake, Chu Xiangqian cursed directly, but he was not worried at all.
