Chapter 54 Just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight
"Damn it, Abigail, am I drunk?"
John rubbed his eyes and couldn't help but curse.
Abigail joked: "If this is an illusion, unless it means that all of us are drunk..."
At this second, everyone held their breath in unison, because the picture presented in front of them was somewhat suffocating.
Banknotes?
Jewelry?
Or gold?
No matter what, everyone from the Van der Linde Gang was dazzled by what they saw, and they only knew that this was a fortune of great value.
Especially as a member who has just joined the Wildfire Gang, now that he can see Song Hao's shown intentions, he must also show due trust.
And if it was Dutch's style, you might even die in the dark.
This is definitely not a joke!
"As you can see, our Wildfire Gang now has a certain financial base, which is something to be thankful for."
Song Hao sat on the barrel: "At least we don't have to sleep in the open or beg on the roadside."
John tried hard to restrain his excitement. He seemed to have thought of something, so he hurriedly walked out of the tent.
A few minutes later, he returned with a stack of thick bills.
These are all things I got back from the tin box of the Van der Linde Gang.
As a rough guy, he speaks very straightforwardly:
"Damn it, if I had known, I would have taken more. Although I am a little insignificant here, I still hope to add a little more savings to the gang."
Aaron suddenly said: "Brother, if you were insignificant, there would be no millionaires in the United States."
John frowned: "Why?"
"Because everyone has to huddle behind your butt..."
As he deposited more than three thousand U.S. dollars in banknotes, the total amount of the Wildfire Gang is now almost reaching a full thirty thousand U.S. dollars.
God, this is a terrifying astronomical figure.
What's more, it doesn't include the bonds stolen from Rhodes Town, which are worth at least US$10,000, so it is considered a gang deposit of US$40,000.
After getting this amazing result, everyone undoubtedly has a better yearning for the future:
Tahiti?
Sorry, we have to go one step ahead of the Van der Linde Gang and leave our own footprints!
When everyone came back from their fantasy, they saw Song Hao drinking the last bit of whiskey with his head raised:
"My idea is this. Taking advantage of the current tense situation in Rhodes Town, we must sell the Braithwaite family's bonds as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, these documents will only bring us more potential troubles."
Aaron took a deep breath, and the smell of smoke in the tent made him a little confused: "Ahem...so boss, when will we go to Saint-Denis?"
After all, there is more than enough initial capital to start a bond exchange now.
Before Song Hao could answer, John said with a solemn expression: "Arthur and I have been secretly investigating the situation in Rhodes Town in the past few days."
"Actually, I don't think we should deal with these bonds too hastily, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the St. Denis and Braithwaite families."
"Song Hao, there is no need for us to fall into such a dangerous situation."
Unexpectedly, the other party had completely different views from his own, so Song Hao asked: "How do you say this?"
Considering that the smoke in the tent is really strong and a bit scary, and there are three ladies present now.
He had no choice but to hide the sack again and open the door curtain to let some air in.
The lungs will feel much fresher.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the temperature seems to have risen a bit at night, and there are a few bright stars shining in the night sky...
John, who was being stared at by everyone, stamped out his cigarette: "All we heard was two pieces of news. It seems that the Braithwaite family is entrusting a bounty hunter to find an iron box."
"Since Song Hao said that bonds are placed in boxes, this must be it."
Abigail and Sadie didn't speak. Now they were facing a major decision-making process for the gang, and they didn't want to express their opinions.
It’s more appropriate to leave this kind of thing to a man.
As for Reina, she doesn’t understand why the Braithwaite family wants to mobilize so many troops?
Even if we take a step back, for this powerful family with such a great reputation, it even has a certain industrial scale in Saint Denis.
There is no need to cause chaos in Rhodes Town because of tens of thousands of dollars in bonds...
She couldn't figure it out even if she racked her brains in a short time, so she decided to carefully examine the iron box containing the bonds when she had time.
I’m sure there will be some surprising discoveries:
"In this case, if you want to set up a bond firm in Saint Denis now, it will easily attract their attention, just like a trap set by a hunter."
"It seems that we really need to be patient and wait for a while."
Song Hao was not in a hurry to redeem this windfall, so he acquiesced to John's proposal.
Then he put the peeled apple into his mouth: "What about the second news?"
A flash of light flashed in John's eyes, and he gradually became excited: "It's about the business of two families."
"I heard that the Gray family wants to sell a batch of high-quality tobacco in the near future, and the Braithwaite family also wants to sell a batch of secretly brewed private wine."
"No matter what, this is a good opportunity for us to make a fortune. It depends on what you think, boss."
However, after hearing such words, Song Hao was not as excited as he imagined, and even felt a little tangled.
Of course he knows how much economic benefits high-quality tobacco and private liquor can bring to gangs in such chaotic years.
However, this piece of fat has to run the risk of being hunted down by the two major families, which is not worth the gain.
The current Wildfire Gang does not have the strength to compete with them.
After a brief moment of inner thought, he asked tentatively: "Have you found out the specific time?"
John nodded: "It should be this Sunday, because the upper-class nobles in Saint Denis like to relax on the weekend, but the time of the transaction between the two parties is a bit off."
Song Hao stretched his muscles and looked at the deep night sky above his head:
"Since they trade on the same day, we have a way to absorb all the benefits."
Everyone looked at each other and thought that this idea was just a bad idea.
It could kill everyone in the Wildfire Gang...
Unexpectedly, the next second, Song Hao actually shook the empty wine glass:
"Don't believe it, I have a good idea now. Not only can I get the goods, but I may also be able to give the two families a little surprise."
