Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 515 Friendship and Iron Ore
  At 12 o'clock in the evening, Frank drove alone to the agreed place at the dock. He just picked up a Thompson submachine gun placed in the passenger seat and waited in the car.

A van parked on the roadside in the dock suddenly turned on its lights, and then slowly drove to Frank's car.

After the last ambush at the dock and the death of a dozen elite hotshots, Frank no longer trusted anyone.

After returning to Chicago a few days ago, Frank originally wanted to investigate one by one, but he didn't expect Russell to be more ruthless than him.

Simply arrest and torture the two men who followed Frank to Panama.

In the end, they threatened the lives of their relatives, but neither of them admitted that they were traitors.

As a last resort, Russell shot himself, killing their wives first, then their parents, and finally leaving their children behind, but they still haven't found out.

Frank originally thought he would only kill those two people and spare their children's lives.

But Russell asked people to kill both families.

Frank, who calmed down afterward, thought about it carefully and realized that Russell actually had no choice.

We can only silence them all.

So this time when he came to Panama City, Frank came directly by himself.

Seeing the van approaching, Frank's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but slowly pointed the submachine gun in the direction of the van.

If you find any abnormality, you can raise your hand and shoot.

Fortunately, Frank quickly looked through the window of the van and saw Matsuno sitting inside.

But the shock in Matsuno's heart at this moment was actually no less than that of Frank.

This van was actually the same one that had packed [-] million in cash to meet Chu Qianqian a few days ago.

In other words, my boss has the ability to send him to Panama City with a car and money.

Of course, the van is actually nothing. Countless goods are shipped out of the United States every day, but if the van and 20 bags of money were concealed from the U.S. customs, that would be really amazing.

Without even guessing, Matsuno mistakenly thought that Chu Xiangqian had definitely bribed many customs officers in the United States. Otherwise, 20 bags of money would not have left the American port unless he met a blind man.

"boarding."

Frank heard what Matsuno said, put down the submachine gun in his hand, got out of the car, opened the door of the van, and saw stacks of canvas bags in the van.

I know it must be the 2 million inside.

After Frank got in the car and sat down, Nishimura, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the van, got out of the van and followed the van in Frank's car.

After the two cars, there were four more people who reluctantly drove two cars and escorted the van straight to the manor on the beach.

Frank was not surprised at all that Matsuno knew where Pablo lived, and even thought that next time he could just let Matsuno take the money and give it directly to Pablo.

But then I thought about it, and if I really did this, it seemed that there was no need for me, and there was no reason to take 2% out of it.

But within a few seconds, it occurred to me that Pablo's 2% commission from this time's 2 million, which is 400 million, is actually not much.

With stable funds leaving the United States and stable flour entering the United States, the money earned is not worth mentioning at all.

The last time $910 million worth of flour arrived in the United States, even if I acted as a wholesaler and sold it to the forces on the east and west coasts of the United States, I would have recovered at least more than $[-] million.

Compared with this, making Pablo's little money is really unnecessary.

But this matter was not something that Frank could decide alone. He couldn't help but think that when he returned to the United States this time, he would talk to the boss Russell.

Or simply give all the 2% of the profits you make to the bank.

Then let the banker give Pablo's money directly to him.

By the way, from now on, the Chicago Mafia's money can also be entrusted to banks and handed over to Pablo.

This reduces the need for Frank to come to Panama to hand over the goods, thus reducing risks.

The van stopped a hundred meters away from the seaside manor. Matsuno said to Frank, who was silent the whole way, "We're here. Drive there by yourself."

Frank looked up and looked out of the car, confirming that Pablo's manor was not far ahead, and then nodded.

Seeing Matsuno get out of the car, Frank hurriedly got into the driving position, rolled down the window and nodded to Matsuno. Then he saw three cars following behind him. He knew at a glance that they were escorts.

I secretly thought to myself that what I just thought was absolutely right. Now, I don't need to come to Panama City again.

He told Matsuno the warehouse number where the grain that needed to be paid for this transaction was stored.

Matsuno nodded, and then told Frank where the warehouse where the weapons and ammunition were stored was, and the price of these weapons was US$100 million.

After saying that, without waiting for Frank to bargain, he turned around, got into a car, and turned around to leave.

The result of drawing 2 out of 3 million is 600 million.

600 million plus 3% is 180 million.

After deducting another $100 million for weapons and ammunition, there is now $1846 million in the car.

Because last time Pablo used 12 tons of wheat and 4 tons of flour grains, the deduction was US$450 million.

So this time we only need to pay Pablo $1450 million.

And Frank quoted Pablo's 450 million in grain for 500 million, plus 334 million for 8.5 tons of wheat, so that he could deliver it to Chu Qianqian.

In other words, Frank was able to hack $162 million this time.

However, due to the deduction of 100 million weapons and ammunition, Frank could only take away 62 US dollars.

But after giving the weapons to Pablo, he only had to quote 150 million, but he was able to make a blacklist of 212 million US dollars.

Frank was not stupid. He never thought of taking the money back to the United States or depositing it in a bank in Panama City.

Use it to buy flour, let Pablo send it to the United States, and then sell it for two or three times the net profit.

When Frank entered Pablo's estate, the two hugged like old friends.

Then he began to count the banknotes, and received 1450 million U.S. dollars, which made Pablo satisfied and at the same time felt more confident about the bank's ability.

As for the remaining money, Frank said that Pablo would be more satisfied if he bought flour.

Anyway, the price of flour in Colombia is very low, and the profit is several times higher when shipped to the United States. This is equivalent to getting back at least 1800 million US dollars this time.

He pulled Frank and said, "I still have a batch of 2 million yuan, and I need you to help me transport it back."

Frank shook his head, "Sorry, once you have contact with the bankers, you will know that they only do business once a month.

The purpose of agreeing to transport it again this time was to prove that the last gun battle at the dock had nothing to do with them. "

Pablo nodded. This time it was a full [-] million, which indeed proved that the bank was in long-term business.

Frank continued, "I guess the bank may have to serve other customers once a month. To avoid having to worry about several things, something might happen."

Pablo frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded quickly.

If you are a customer of a bank, you also hope that they can make every effort to ensure that your funds can reach their destination safely.

But does this also mean that the number of customers that banks can serve is actually very limited?

If it's full, it might be difficult for you to squeeze in.

Thinking of this, Pablo couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and if he couldn't become an official client of the bank for the time being, he would have to try his best to win over the Chicago mafia. I took Frank to the swimming pool behind the manor, and saw a dozen beautiful girls in cool clothes, lying on beach chairs, drinking champagne and blowing the warm night breeze, talking and laughing.

The temperature in Panama in December ranges from 12 to 19 degrees. In addition, as it is an offshore port, the banking, hotel and entertainment industries are very developed, which makes Panama a favorite vacation destination for Latin American wealthy people.

When Frank saw this, he also had a smile on his face, and then told Pablo that the weapons and ammunition he wanted were placed in the dock warehouse.

After getting the warehouse number, Pablo quickly asked his cousin Gustavo to lead people to transport the weapons overnight.

As for Frank's price of $120 million for these weapons, Pablo didn't say much.

After Gustavo gets the weapon, he will know whether it is worth 120 million.

When Gustavo came back and reported that the weapons included two M2 heavy machine guns, 10 light machine guns, 300 Garand rifles, 100 pistols and nearly 10 rounds of ammunition.

Even Frank was shocked, while Pablo laughed and patted Frank on the shoulder.

"Frank, this batch of weapons and ammunition is worth 150 million US dollars worth of flour."

Frank naturally smiled and said thank you.

When Pablo said that he wanted to exchange flour for weapons.

Frank's expression twisted, and he guessed that Pablo saw that he was willing to accept flour, instead of only accepting cash like most arms dealers.

Only then did I want to stock up on more weapons and ammunition.

Arms dealers rarely sell flour as well, and their sales channels and relationship networks are quite different.

Moreover, cash can be deposited directly in offshore banks, but shipping flour to the United States is extremely risky and difficult.

The one downside is losing all your money.

Of course, if you can transport it in, you can make more money.

But a mature arms dealer would rather not make this money and would actively avoid risks.

Frank hesitated for a few seconds before explaining, "Honestly, I don't even know what these weapons are."

Pablo and Gustavo immediately guessed that these weapons were delivered by people from the bank.

Pablo suddenly asked, "How much did you spend to buy these weapons?"

Frank glanced at Pablo and knew that this guy wanted to take advantage of his lack of concentration to trick him into telling him the price of the weapon.

Secretly, fortunately, he was not greedy, he just increased the price by [-]%.

And Frank vaguely felt that this was a good thing for him.

He even hoped that Pablo would seek confirmation from the people at the bank in the future.

He looked at Pablo and said, "One million dollars."

Sure enough, after hearing this, Pablo and Gustavo showed surprise expressions on their faces.

Frank shrugged, "I don't need to lie to you. In the future, if you place an order with someone from the bank, you will naturally know the price of the weapons.

I even think the bank will pay a higher price to sell it to you.

After all, we are in Chicago and there is no shortage of ways to purchase weapons.

And if you want to buy in large quantities, ordinary arms dealers cannot provide weapons and ammunition for hundreds of people. "

Pablo and Gustavo nodded and said to Frank seriously, "Man, you will be our friend from now on."

Frank was secretly happy. With this promise, even Russell would not deal with him easily in the future.

In order to avoid finding a new person to trade with Pablo, Pablo will not recognize the new person.

As for Frank's desire to divide the flour into two batches during the handover in the United States, Pablo agreed without even thinking about it.

He even wished Frank could leave Russell and go it alone.

First of all, Frank is the person who has the most contact with the bank.

With him here, you don't have to worry about not having the chance to contact the bank.

Secondly, Frank is easier to deal with than an old fox like Russell.

At the same time, even if Frank goes it alone, he will not compete with Russell for territory and business.

In other words, Frank has to develop the market by himself, and the sales volume of flour will naturally be more.

  The night passed quickly, and Chu Xiangqian called the ninjas' stronghold in Panama City.

Staying in the stronghold, Fujiwara, who was specifically responsible for delivering messages, contacted Matsuno using a walkie-talkie and obtained the number of the warehouse where the grain transported by the Chicago Mafia was stored.

Chu Xiangqian quickly found the location of the warehouse, collected all the grains inside into the Novice Village warehouse, and simply entered the Novice Village from the warehouse.

First, I lay down and took a bath in the fountain in Novice Village. After 12 o'clock at night, I cleared all the spawned wild monsters and resources.

Unexpectedly, another white tiger appeared today. Chu Xiangqian immediately remembered that Philips had said before that he wanted to buy a white tiger at the same price as Norton, which was 30 pounds.

After tricking the tiger into an iron cage, Chu Xiangqian entered the restaurant in Xinshou Village and slept until 8 o'clock in the morning.

After leaving Novice Village, we rode our motorcycle to have breakfast first, and then to the office building at the pier.

It was originally planned to transport the 36 tons of iron ore stored in the dock warehouse to London.

But after thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian gave up the idea of ​​​​looking for the freighter.

A phone call was made to Margaret in London. When the girl heard that the call was from her man, her face lit up at first, then turned dark, muttering something strange about not looking at her for so long.

But I still had to answer the phone, but my tone was a bit unkind.

Chu Xiangqian also knew that he had indeed neglected her. He said some sweet words for free, and soon coaxed Margaret to smile.

Finally, I heard Chu Xiangqian say that he had a batch of iron ore bought from Chile and stored it at the port of Panama City.

If there is a steel company in England willing to buy it, then sell it directly to England.

Otherwise, I will sell it to the Americans.

Margaret just subconsciously felt that good things must be kept for herself.

It would also be a good thing for England if they could take resources away from the Americans.

As for why Chilean iron ore must be transported to the port of Panama for storage instead of being transported directly from Chile to the United States, Margaret has never thought about it.

But after telling their sister Elizabeth and brother-in-law Philips about this, the couple at first only thought about what Margaret had said a few months ago, about Chu Xiangqian buying a share of a mining area.

I didn't expect iron ore to be shipped so soon. If it continues to be mined, it will be like holding a money printing machine.

But when I thought about it more deeply, I realized that this batch of 36 tons of top-quality iron ore with an iron content of 70% was most likely not through formal channels.

Maybe it was iron ore that some people in Chile secretly mined or stole from the mining area.

There is a port in Panama City. First, it is the busiest freight hub in the world, with many cargo ships docking and cargo transshipment.

Not to mention 36 tons of iron ore, even if it were several times more, no one would care.
