Firepower is king

The last time I saw Abu was at the King's Defense Company headquarters, and I didn't have particularly good memories of the first meeting because Abu was captured here.

When I saw Abu again, I felt like a new person.

The short fat man turned into a short and thin man. The skin on his face was very loose, and he looked like he had a bad complexion.

The last time I saw Abu, even if he was about to be arrested by the FBI, Abu looked high-spirited, but now, he is completely depressed, his energy and body have collapsed, completely collapsed.

"Hello, Mad Dog, we meet again. I'm glad you have time to see me."

Abu's attitude was very respectful, even a little humble.

Gao Guang really didn't know what to say to Abu. When he saw Abu's appearance, he really felt strong sympathy.

"Hello."

After shaking hands, Gaoguang gestured for Abu to sit down, and then he finally choked out a sentence and said, "Why have you become like this now?"

Abu spread his hands, smiled bitterly, and whispered, "It's a long story."

It’s a long story and you can tell it slowly, but Abu obviously didn’t want to tell Gao Guang about his situation. He was silent for a moment, and then said hesitantly: “I… I don’t know what you thought about what I told you last time. "

"I may not be able to do the arms business now."

Gao Guang was also helpless. His sorrow was no less than that of Abu. He let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "I am facing a troublesome problem now. Before it is solved, I probably won't have time to do business."

"What trouble?"

Now it's Abu who wants to know what's wrong with Gao Guang, but Gao Guang doesn't want to tell Abu either.

It's useless to say it, so why bother talking about it?

"Forget it, let's not talk about it."

If Abu couldn't find a new topic or take the initiative himself, the conversation would not be able to continue.

Abu felt that Gao Guang still didn't earn enough, so he finally said sadly: "Well, I can't make any more concessions, 20 million, this is my final bottom line."

"It's really not about price now. I don't have time to do business anymore."

Abu said in a low voice: "I'd better be honest. I was killed by others. Now my channels are taken over by others, and my boss won't give me new products. As long as I dare to do the arms business, then I should be dead, and I still owe nearly 30 million U.S. dollars in payment to my previous company. If I can’t pay off the money in time, I’ll be doomed.”

Abu has stated his bottom line and his predicament. Doesn't this mean he is telling others that I am at the end of my rope?

It was difficult for Gao Guang to understand why Abu would act like he was being bullied by others, so he asked in confusion: "Why are you telling me this?"

There is no such thing as sympathy in the business world. Not to mention that Gao Guang has no friendship with Abu. Even if he has friendship with him, it is impossible to sympathize with an arms dealer.

Abu whispered: "Because you are not an arms dealer, and after much thought, you are the only one who can digest this batch of arms even though you are not an arms dealer."

Gao Guang raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Oh, tell me."

"My peers will not lend a helping hand. They just want to squeeze me out at the lowest price. If I sell this batch of goods to my peers, I won't even get 10 million."

Abu's expression began to become firm, and he said very seriously: "You are not an arms dealer. You have channels to sell goods, but you don't have the source to buy arms at a low price. In other words, as long as you buy me You can make a lot of money just by flipping the goods you have on hand. I can’t think of why you should refuse.”

After waving his hand to signal Gao Guang not to interrupt, Abu continued: "My low price is 20 million, because I need to give 28 million to the buyer, and it doesn't matter if I lose a dollar, and I can give it now. It’s only 8 million, so I can sell this batch for at least 20 million.”

Gao Guang touched his chin and said, "Well, is there a time limit for payment?"

Abu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, there is a time limit. I still have four days, so I must get the full payment within three days."

"Three days, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive."

Abu still believed that this was just a negotiation strategy adopted by Gaoguang to lower the price, so he said without hesitation: "I can't give in to Mad Dog. I can't give in. If I dispose of this batch of goods cheaply, the consequences will still be death." , then why should I deal with it at a low price?”

Gao Guang waved his hand and said: "I'm not negotiating the price with you. Well, I'll tell you the truth. Now the Shadowless Man is planning to kill me. You know the Shadowless Man, right?"

Abu's eyes straightened. Full of doubts and surprise, he poked his head forward and said, "The Shadowless One?"

Gao Guang smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, the Shadowless One, this matter is very complicated, so I won't explain it to you in detail, but obviously I can't ignore the threat of the Shadowless One at this time. But he went to do arms business."

Abu said without hesitation: "Oh my god, of course I know about the Shadowless Ones... My boss was killed by the Shadowless Ones!"

This time I switched to highlights to straighten my eyes.

Abu said hurriedly: "My boss, I worked for him for many years, and then he was killed in Dubai. I was there at the time. I couldn't believe it. I actually heard the damn name of the Shadowless One again. I The boss is Bashir, a Lebanese immigrant. He was once a big businessman specializing in the arms business in the Middle East. Have you heard of it? "

Gao Guang shook his head.

Abu continued: "My boss has lived in Dubai for a long time, and the Shadowless Man knew his address, so even though he had more than a dozen bodyguards, the Shadowless Man still found an opportunity to use a knife in the toilet of a restaurant. The knife severed his carotid artery, and blood spurted onto the roof of the toilet, and the name "The Shadowless One" was written on the mirror."

Taking a deep breath, Abu said with a sad face: "I still can't forget that scene, but damn, why did the Shadowless One want to kill you? And you can get the news in advance?"

"Well, this is a long story, and it's not easy to say."

Gao Guang refused to tell Abu the reason.

But Abu suddenly became energetic, and he said seriously: "If the Shadowless One really wants to kill you, then you can't wait here to die. He will always have a chance to find you, and then kill you in some strange way. Yes, if I were you, I would leave Los Angeles as soon as possible. If the Shadowless One doesn’t know where you are, then how can he kill you?”

What Abu said this time made sense. If Gao Guang hid in the company and didn't go out, there was no way to guarantee that he would be safe. But if he changed places, at least it would be safer than staying in Los Angeles.

In fact, Gao Guang planned to return to China, but he didn't believe that the Shadowless Ones could still go to China to hunt him down.

But having said that, it's actually quite frustrating to just go home in such a dejected mood, but if you don't go home, it's not impossible to do arms business during this period to avoid disaster.

Gao Guang began to be tempted. He finally looked at Abu again and said, "Where do you put your goods?"

"Different places. But certainly not in Los Angeles."

"Tell me the truth about what you have."

Abu perked up and said, "I'll give you a list, which records in detail the quantity and purchase price of the goods, as well as the customs clearance procedures. Those documents have been completed, and what procedures need to be completed, I will list them all for you one by one. ”

"Give me the list."

"Did not bring."

Looking at Gao Guang's dissatisfied look, Abu hurriedly said: "I have to make sure that you have the intention to cooperate before I can give you the list. And this list can be said to be my biggest business secret. I haven't written it down yet. How can I bring it with me?" But as long as you are sure you want it, I will give it to you right away.”

Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "You only have four days. Now I won't waste time with you on the price, but you must give me the list first. I will take the list to find the next home and figure out what other processes are needed. If we can cooperate, I will pay you the money within three days. If we cannot cooperate, I will tell you in time and let you find another buyer, how about it?”

Abu fell into deep thought, but soon he said firmly: "I agree, I will go back and send you the list."

Gao Guang no longer had to suffer the consequences of saving face in front of Abu. He whispered: "Hurry, I may have to leave Los Angeles overnight. Also, I have never been in the arms business before, and I don't know what to do with many things. Can you You can’t just take the money and ignore it, at least there’s something I don’t understand, so you have to tell me what to do.”

Abu immediately said: "Don't worry, I won't be able to do the arms business anymore. If you have anything you don't understand, just ask me. I promise to tell you all the secrets of this industry without reservation!"
