The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 110 Life Strategy Planning

East Hollywood, Fountain Street.

At the door of the studio, Hawke took a sign and asked Edward to hang it outside the door.

It says "Suspension of business".

After a month of busy life, the selfie door finally came to an end, and Hawke planned to take a few days off.

The sign was hung up, and Edward returned to the studio and said, "Boss, Hua Butterfly has contacted me several times and wants to see you. We are busy for a while, so I keep asking him to wait."

Hawke asked, "Has Campos recovered?"

"After the fever subsided, the wound on his leg healed quickly." Edward said roughly: "He stopped limping when walking, left the clinic and returned to the rescue station. With the care of Da Chou and others, he was homeless. The people are doing pretty well."

Hawke never makes a flirting: "You call Campos and we'll go there in the afternoon."

Edward went to call.

Hawke also took out his cell phone and called, waiting for the answer there, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you missing? I'm not missing and come to drink."

Just five minutes later, the studio door was knocked and Edward went over to open the door.

Frank swayed in, glanced at Edward's handmade suit and Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, and asked, "Where did you steal it?"

Edward grinned and said, "Deborah, the widow of Robert Downey Jr., gave it to me."

He took out the gold-inlaid Motorola and said deliberately, "Did you see it? All these were given to me by her? Guess why she gave it to me? Because I lived in her house. Old man, please remind you not to let me know Who is your ex-wife!”

In the past, the so-called threats against ex-wife were still in words.

Now that the bright case is in front of you, Frank never mentioned cotton, fried chicken and watermelon juice, took out a photo and said to Hawk: "The things you asked me to check last month are basically the same as what you said. , The photos have been mailed. You are busy recently, so I haven't been disturbed."

Hawke took it, looked at the man in the Mexican police uniform in the photo, and handed it to Edward: "Look at it too."

Edward carefully identified it and said, "Boss, that's right, it's a butterfly."

Hawke took back the photo and put it away.

Now through the mutual confirmation between black and white, Campos's identity is not a big problem, and the opportunity to come later is suitable. He can check it out with Erica again.

Frank reminded: "I heard from my friend that this person is very powerful, don't mess with him."

Hawke asked, "Tell me in detail."

"The local gang of dealers wanted to kill him, but failed." The person entrusted by Frank was relatively high, but he only understood the general idea: "Later, he was asked to get a wanted order and was besieged in the city by more than a dozen fully armed Mexican police, not only did he not die. , killed four people, injured three people, and ran away."

"It's very fierce." Edward was a little surprised.

Hawke nodded slightly. Even if he cherishes his life on one side and works **** the other side, such a result is enough to prove his ability.

This person is good at surveying, has good skills, and is at least not bad in character, which is very valuable.

Hawke's ability to use people is not mentioned for now, and he can't believe in gambling or poisonous ghosts at all.

Like Robert Downey Jr.’s playmate Cole, he is just a pure use.

Frank was particularly conscious. After saying these words, he took out a cloth bag, came to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator door, picked up the food and drinks and threw it into the bag.

Beer, sausage, milk and fruit, etc., filled a full bag.

Hawke said nothing.

Edward wanted to speak.

Frank picked up the bag and left, without mocking Edward, and even pretended not to see him.

Edward was excited: "Hey, why are you leaving? I want to talk to you more and let you see the Cadillac and Hermes leather bags that Deborah gave me."

Frank slammed the door.

Hawke remembered one thing: "Have you opened a bank account? In the future, the bonus will be transferred directly to the account. It will be too troublesome to give you cash."

"I opened it yesterday." Edward quickly reported the account to Hawke and asked, "Boss, do I have to pay taxes too?"

Hawke reminded: "Just as we are now, don't mess with the tax bureau. Your income is not low now. Don't think about greed for this little advantage. Find an accountant to help you calculate."

Edward remembered it and simply used the studio accountant.

As noon approached, the two went out for lunch and called out to Frank in the parking lot opposite. The old man said he didn't want to see Edward.

The king of forcing kings seems to have a psychological shadow.

In the afternoon, Edward drove onto Cadillac and pulled Hawk to the Avenue of Stars and found the ugly trio.

These three guys were sitting on the celebrity stars on the Avenue of Stars, performing ugly talent. Compared to the pure begging like Frank, they were somewhat technical.

Edward made a phone call, Da Chou temporarily left the sidewalk, crossed the road and entered the parking lot, and got on Cadillac.

Hawke asked, "What's going on in Campos recently?"

"I found a few odd jobs and made money by doing odd jobs. He has no legal status." Da Chou said: "He basically doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble. With the three of us here, no one dares to provoke him."

Hawke asked again, "Who do you often interact with?"

Da Chou recalled carefully and said, "Except for a few Mexicans, there are three of us, and he rarely interacts with others."

Hawke nodded, "Okay, keep going."

Da Chou got out of the car.

Hawke said, "Go to the rescue station."

The Ackerman Charity Relief Station is not far apart. If you turn the street, you can see a huge sign.

Charity is also a kind of business, and there are many strange non-profit institutions here.

Hawke plans to wait for the funds and scale to be larger, and also set up a non-profit institution.

The rescue station is quieter today, and there is no free physical examination. Lunch time has long passed. The homeless people who receive food have already crawled into the shade to avoid the bright sun.

Cadillac bypassed the rescue station, came to the back door, and drove into the parking lot.

Hawke made a phone call, and it didn't take too long to come Campos from the other side of the parking lot.

This guy walks very fast, unlike Hawke's last time he met him here, limped.

Hawke lowered the window and waved.

Campos opened the car door, got in, and said directly, "Thank you for saving me."

Hawke nodded slightly and asked, "It's completely restored."

"Yes." Campos was not stupid at all and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Hawke did not answer, but asked, "Last time you reminded me that the Mule Help secretly transported the goods."

Campos said in detail: "When I was in Mexico, I carefully studied the transportation methods of the Mule Gang. After they drove the goods across the US-Mexico border, they temporarily hired some less noticeable things in order to avoid DEA and local police inspections. Mules, transport goods into Los Angeles, the surrounding Orange County, and the north of San Francisco and other urban areas.”

Recalling a little, Hawke remembered it. The last time he saw was an old man driving an old Dodge pickup.

The old man was at least in his 70s.

Hawke asked, "Old men?"

Campos said: "This is a group they often use. The elderly and weak people transport goods. They usually rarely check in. They just need to drive the car to the designated place and leave the keys. The people who are watching the joints do not have The exposed danger will drive away their car, transport the freight back, and leave cash in the car."

Hawke asked again, "Where are the other crowds?"

"A pregnant woman who is obviously pregnant." Campos has lived near the parking lot in the past few months and is bored and often observes: "It is not a pregnant woman who disguises herself as a pregnant woman, but a real pregnant woman who has a reliable identity and encounters a family financial crisis. Once she encounters an examination, she will hold her. I feel uncomfortable with my stomach. As long as it is not a suspect target, I am very likely to let them go."

Edward exclaimed: "The dealers are smart enough."

Campos said: "Most of the stupid ones are in the lowest level of bulk goods and can be responsible for a business. If they are not smart enough, they will either be caught or killed by their opponents."

Hawke glanced at Edward: "Compton is the same?"

"I can only contact the people at the bottom." Edward shrugged: "Those bulk idiots earn no more money than working, but no one likes working. After all, bulky goods go out and go back to have fun, and work and work again. I am tired and have a long working time, so I am not as good as my ancestors picking cotton."

Campos kept asking about the Mule Gang when he saw Hawke: "You want to go against the Mule Gang?" Hawke said: "My studio does not have drug-killing business. As for paying attention to the Mule Gang... you can understand this way, I'm here Make strategic plans for your life business.”

Campos's face became extremely solemn: "Although you saved me, those things..."

"You're thinking too much." Hawke knew he was wrong: "I'm a principled person, and gambling and drugs are my lifelong enemies!"

Campos was obviously relieved.

Hawke asked, "Did the Mule Gang use this place to transport goods again during this period?"

Campos recalled and said, "It was once more than a month ago, but I was already sick at that time and didn't look closely. I didn't know much about it during the treatment in the clinic, but I didn't see it again when I came back from the clinic."

He is somewhat familiar with the current situation in Los Angeles: "The newspaper reported that a female police detective from LAPD intercepted a large number of mule gang cargoes on a yacht some time ago. Then LAPD cleaned up the mule gang, which must have affected these people. ”

The other party is from Mexico and is still a drug special police officer who is so serious and responsible that he was almost killed by his colleagues and bosses. Hawke simply asked, "Based on your understanding of the Mule Gang, can LAPD completely defeat them?"

"Impossible." Campos shook his head straight: "The Mule Gang has become a climate organization. There must be someone hiding in the dark. There are too many Mexicans in Los Angeles. It is difficult to find a Mexican family to hide. ”

He looked down on his peers a little: "It's not me that LAPD is good at making money and protecting the rich, but other aspects are average. In the past decade, LAPD has suffered a lot of losses in the face of the face."

Edward automatically responded: "The Los Angeles Riot, North Hollywood robbery, police officers' road rage gunfights, Raphael Perez incident..."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Speaking of this, he saw Hawke's doubts and briefly explained: "In 1998, 5 pounds of goods were missing in the evidence room of LAPD, and it was believed that it was theft by Officer Raphael Perez. As a result, the investigation team discovered another 11 More than 70 police officers were involved in the case of loss of goods in the evidence room, but in the end Raphael took everything, so he was paroled last year."

Hawke was not surprised at all, after all, it was the largest armed violence organization in Los Angeles.

Edward said: "LAPD is the strongest legal gang in Los Angeles. I heard that the amount of fundraising has stagnated in the past two years, and public opinion and public trust in them have been reduced again and again."

Hawke thought of Erica, and LAPD pushed her out, which was not without considering image operation.

Campos sighed, “America is not paradise either.”

Edward had a comfortable time and had a great experience, saying, "As long as you have enough money, America is a paradise life."

Hawke looked at the parking lot and said to Campos: "In the next period of time, please pay attention to the parking lot to see if there are any mule-gang cars coming... Don't disturb them, it is the prerequisite to ensure your safety."

Campos is quite professional in this regard: "As long as they appear, I can recognize it at a glance."

Hawke continued, "After meeting them, call me immediately. You have my cell phone number, right?"

"Yes." Campos took out the broken Nokia and called Hawke's number.

Edward went to the car and found a charger again, and they could find a place to charge.

Hawke glanced at it, hung up directly, and took out an envelope: "I'm hiring you."

Campos is easy to talk about, but there are still a few people here to take care of. He didn't say much nonsense and refused. He took the envelope and promised, "They don't show up, I have no choice. As long as they show up, I will definitely not be able to escape my eyes. .”

"Let's just stop here today." Hawke ended the interview.

Campos put away the envelope and got out of the car and left.

Hawke looked around and suddenly found someone coming out of the back door of the rescue station.

"Boss, I want to go down." Edward unbuttoned his seat belt and stared at the back door.

The woman who came out was wearing the Ackerman Charity Foundation vest, which Hawk had seen.

"Go." He understood Edward's mood. The savior was swept out by Nicole.

Edward pulled down the blindfold, opened the makeup mirror, tidied up his formal tie, then opened the door and got off the car, and walked towards the back door of the rescue station.

When he arrived near Nicole, he raised his hand to say hello, his sleeves fell down, revealing the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch inside: "Hi, Nicole, long time no see."

Nicole looked at Edward who had a new look and was stunned for a moment, and entered the rescue station without looking back.

Edward was refreshed and turned around and laughed when he got in the car: "Boss, this feeling is really great."

Hawke pointed to the front: "Drive, leave."

Edward was happy, driving the car like a happy fart, and kept talking: "Do I want to give Deborah some gift?"

"You haven't sent it?" Hawke was curious.

Edward said, "My gift was mainly given to her son before... Well, I decided to give her a gift."

He was still the same bad thing: "Deborah will definitely give me a gift, and the value of the gift is at least ten times the value I gave her."

Hawke no longer knows what to say for such a talent.

Edward slapped his ex-girlfriend in the face in front of him. He was extremely excited and said, "Boss, you are also giving gifts when you find a clue to the Mule Gang?"

“This is a strategic business plan,” Hawke said.

Edward didn't understand: "Last time we came to move things, you mentioned the Mule Gang, why didn't you tell Erica?"

"The gifts are not given out in one go. We have to pay attention to pulling. She is pulling me and I am pulling her." Hawke's business strategy planning is not a joke: "If you pull the threshold of a woman too high at one time, It will be difficult to deal with in the future.”

Edward scratched his head with his left hand: "What you said is too complicated, I am still suitable for enjoying innocent love."

Hawke took out his cell phone, dialed Erica's number, waited for the other side to connect, and asked, "Are you going to work?"

Erica replied, "It's not time to get off work yet. I'm not as free as you, I have a case in my hand."

Hawke asked, "Do you have time tomorrow weekend? Play with guns together at Mount Atel Shooting Range."

"Yes." Erica responded and asked, "Are you finished your business?"

Hawke said: "The contract is completed and the checkout is broken up."

Someone shouted from Erica, and she said, "I won't talk anymore, I'll be busy with a lot of things. See you tomorrow."

Hawke hung up the phone, returned to the studio, and took out a gun to maintain it.

Edward is about to leave and takes a special leave: "I have two days to participate in a parent-child activity this weekend."

Hawke didn't even raise his head: "Donny's son?"

"Yes, accompany Donny's son to a camping camp." Edward was like a good father: "Go to buy equipment at night, set off early tomorrow morning, and stay in Palm Valley for three days."

Hawke is a good boss and said, "Go." He suggested, "Deborah has good conditions, so you can propose to her."

Edward was shocked: "Boss, we agreed not to tie it to a tree! Also, it's not worth it to marry her."

"How could it be unprofitable?" Hawke's way of thinking was different from Edward: "Even if you divorce later, you can still share a lot of money."

Edward said with a serious attitude that he had never seen before: "I am the co-founder of West Coast Media Entertainment, and I enjoy dividends every year. At the speed of our development, when I divorce Deborah, the person who was disbanded from my property must be I."

This time it was Hawke's turn to be surprised: "Okay, Savior, this flattering word is so clever."

"No, no, no, this is not a flattery," Edward said. "I'm talking all the truth."

Hawke sent him away: "Go and find your Deborah."

Edward went to be Donnie's son's cheap father.

Hawke had supper alone and received a call from Miss Me.

"I have read the news of this period. You have made a lot of money from Josh Hartnett, right?" Miss Me's meaning is very clear: "I brought you people to you, and you can share 5% of the money. Promise me."

Hawke said deliberately, "Aren't we friends? Shouldn't friends help each other?"

Caroline is good at calculating about money: "The weather is starting to cool down. My friend, I have a Chanel windbreaker and can I give it to me?"

Hawke also asked Miss Me to attract customers, and for the long term, he said, "Today is too late, tomorrow, I will transfer the bank to your account, $40,000."

Caroline exclaimed: "You charged $800,000 per order?"

Hawke is about to hang up the phone: "Please check it tomorrow."

Caroline seemed to have been hit, and her voice lost her former pride: "Okay, I will pay attention to checking it."

Hawke hit someone and gave him another sweet date: "Whoever has troubles in your company can come to me if you cannot solve them. I will give you a commission of 10% if you introduce me."
