Wang Defa was also quite surprised by Zhou Li'an's uncharacteristic behavior. In his impression, Zhou Sheng was not such an arrogant and domineering person.
But as smart as he was, his expression calmed down after half a second.
And secretly rejoiced in my heart.
'Zhou Sheng is a brain-eater.'
As the old saying goes, talk about people and talk about ghosts.
David Liang has been rooted in the chaotic Juarez for more than ten years and is by no means a good person.
For the previous generations of Chinese who lived overseas, there was no such thing as brotherhood and brotherhood.
The Chinese were suppressed and had only so much room for survival. They had no ability to compete with Irish immigrants and local whites.
Then they can only develop in the manner of cultivating gu and compete with each other.
Therefore, when dealing with people like David Liang, you should show off your muscles appropriately so that others will not look down upon you and regard you as a piece of fat that can be eaten.
The three of them came to the private room on the second floor and sat down.
David Liangzui kept introducing the local "customs and customs", what should be paid attention to and what should be guarded against.
In his words, Juárez is not as dangerous as people think.
Local people also need food, clothing, housing, transportation, and jobs. Although gang organizations can make a lot of money, they will not use their own money to do charity for the common people.
Moreover, when a gang organization makes money, it also needs a place to spend it and enjoy it.
"Take this wealthy area as an example. Several of the Chinese restaurants I own are the most upscale restaurants in the city. Many factory owners like to have business meetings here."
"As long as you don't put yourself in danger, there is basically no danger in going to the slums in the middle of the night."
"When you encounter trouble, contact me as soon as possible and I can mediate. For example, the detective from the city police station is an old friend of mine for many years."
Hearing this, Wang Defa whispered in Zhou Li'an's ear: "These police officers all get three or four salaries, work with money, and they are very good at reputation. Otherwise, Liang Sheng's business would not be so big in the local area."
Three or four salaries are easy to understand.
One for the official, one for the gangs, and the rest depends on the filial piety of each party.
Zhou Li'an has heard some rumors that during the anti-German operation in central Mexico, the first thing the military did when they arrived was not to start a fight, but to disarm the local police.
I was so afraid that I was tipping off someone: there was a mole and the transaction was terminated.
I'm afraid that the local police will stop pretending, show their cards, and start copying the guy.
Very magical and very realistic.
After lunch.
David Liang asked the driver to drive them to the industrial zone to select the factory site.
He sat in the front row and introduced the street view and regional divisions: "Many large domestic companies have built factories in Juarez, bringing jobs to the local area, so in Juarez, the safety of us businessmen is still guaranteed.
."
"When you recruit employees, the relatives of these employees will be more or less connected to gang forces. If someone causes trouble, they will protect your interests and drive away the troublemakers."
This is the bundling of interests.
Civilians receive wages from Chinese bosses, but gang forces have no regard for their life or death.
The industrial area is very large and the factories are all newly built.
Finally, Lao Wang chose a new workshop of 4,000 square meters, which has all the basic facilities and can be said to be move-in ready.
David Liang quickly called the factory manager over. After chatting for half an hour, the two parties hit it off immediately. They first signed a letter of intent and paid a deposit, and then signed a formal contract after completing the formalities for setting up the factory.
Two days later.
All departments gave the green light and spent 30,000 dollars. David Liang helped the two get the qualifications to set up a factory, and things went surprisingly smoothly.
That night, I naturally wanted to celebrate and express my gratitude to David Liang.
Wait until you have had enough wine and food.
The two of them returned to the hotel suite drunkenly. When the door was closed, Lao Wang suddenly sobered up. How could he still be drunk?
Zhou Li'an didn't drink much to begin with. Even though the past two days seemed to be going very well, he didn't dare to let down his guard.
Lao Wang said: "David Zai is very efficient. I have observed him in the past two days and he is relatively reliable. He was introduced by some of my old friends and has a good reputation."
Zhou Li'an sat down on the sofa and waited for his next words: "So?"
Lao Wang said: "So he hinted to me that the service fee of 15k a month is to buy peace of mind. It's okay if I don't pay this amount, but if something needs to be settled, it won't be at this price."
"Similarly, membership system."
Zhou Li'an had no objection.
The security fee of 180,000 dollars a year is not an exorbitant price in a place like Juarez; and David Liang also proved his ability in these two days.
What's more, Zhou Li'an still has something to entrust him with next.
There are many mines in Mexico, but the ownership of these minerals is mostly controlled by gangs.
In addition, if you want to open a mine, you need to apply for an official qualification permit. It does not mean that you can start construction directly after buying a mine.
This kind of qualification is generally difficult to obtain. After all, minerals are non-renewable resources, and mining them by businessmen from other countries will not be of any benefit to their own national interests.
Then the role of David Liang is reflected.
Of course, there is another way to go, which is not to develop the minerals but to directly sell the gold brought back from the parallel world on the black market.
But there is a problem...
Zhou Li'an is not just seeking money, he needs to establish connections in Mexico, preferably with large gangs and high-level officials.
Only in this way will he be able to obtain some industrial production lines within the prohibited sales range for the future, which naturally includes arms.
Mexico does not produce arms, but these gangs are big purchasers of arms, and Zhou Li'an can find a way through them.
It's not about being an invisible rich man in the United States.
Some things cannot be bought with money, they must have corresponding class status and social influence.
It is too difficult to complete the class jump in the United States, but it is different in a chaotic place like Mexico... Spend money to clear the way, and interests are tied up.
It's not unimaginable that one day Zhou Li'an will become a guest of the "Commander's Mansion".
Because the entire "California Gold Rush" produced 12 million ounces of gold in seven years.
Based on the current gold price, this will be a big business involving more than 20 billion US dollars.
In this world, it is impossible for Zhou Li'an to live alone, and even if he is given 20 billion US dollars, it makes no sense.
What he wants is valuable industrial technical data so that the North American natives can enter the industrialization era as soon as possible so that they can realize their dream of unifying the world.
This world is just his technical reserve.
In other words, even if the profits are distributed to others, it is just a way to use money to buy class status improvement.
Of course, cooperation with Mexican officials and gang forces is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger; fortunately, there is a system in place, so there is no need to worry about personal safety.
Even if you fail, just run away and leave.
Without Zhou Li'an, the government and gang forces will also discover that the so-called mines that can mine gold are actually worthless, and they may even come to seek help and re-establish a cooperative relationship.
There is no need to tell Lao Wang about these plans.
He just said: "Give him 20,000 dollars a month, but you have to tell him that when you get money, you have to do something. If you want me to end it personally, the scene will not be so pretty."
Wang Defa was surprised and happy when he heard this.
On the one hand, I was worried about ruining everyone's relationship, but on the other hand, I was amazed at Zhou Li'an's confidence.
If he wasn't fearless, how could he be so cruel?
"Ah Zhou Sheng, isn't it a bad idea to say this?"
Zhou Li'an waved his hand calmly: "Just tell him the exact words! Since we want to cooperate, let's talk ugly up front. He wants 15k and I will give 20k. He should be happy."
Early next morning.
Zhou Li'an went to Juarez Airport to leave.
The procedures for the factory site have been completed, so there is no need for him to stay; staff recruitment is left to Wang Defa.
All we have to do is wait for the equipment to be in place and then come over to deliver the furs.
Don't be in a hurry about the mine. After all, the gold hasn't been found yet and everything is still just a plan.
Lao Wang knew that Zhou Li'an must be busy with supply matters, so he did not persuade him to stay.
At noon that day.
When Wang Defa and David Liang had lunch, they spoke frankly.
Lao Wang's words were not as straightforward as Zhou Li'an's, but he still expressed his attitude: "Ah, Zhou Sheng explained when he left, how does 15k fit Liang Sheng's status? We are willing to pay 20k US dollars a month."
"Ah Liang Sheng, we are sincere. Don't let Zhou Sheng down. He has a bad temper."
The two people here are both fine people.
The speaker is intentional, and the listener is more intentional.
David Liang immediately looked grateful, but in fact, to him, 20k was just a small amount of money, which was better than a steady stream of money.
In fact, the total value of his property in Juarez is much richer than that of Wang Defa.
But only in this way, regardless of face, can people who are willing to be humble and humble be able to make a lot of money, and even have a life to spend after making money.
David Liang has always been curious about Zhou Li'an's identity: "Ah Brother Fa, who is that Zhou Sheng?"
Wang Defa himself still knew a little about it, but now it has just become a smoke bomb:
"Who is he? A serious businessman!"
"Zhou Sheng has channels that supply 5,000 bison skins every month. I don't need to tell you, but you already know what this means, right?"
After a while, he had a rough figure in his mind.
A business that generates over ten million US dollars a month is obviously not something that ordinary people can handle.
However, David Liang did not panic. He was also a serious businessman, but he also played the role of intermediary and broker. One of the ways to make extra money was to accumulate contacts.
One more friend brings many paths.
He began to look forward to future cooperation with Zhou Li'an and Wang Defa.
…
October 25th.
Wang Defa called and said the clothes he ordered had arrived. He asked Zhou Li'an to give him an address and the manufacturer would deliver the goods to his door.
Zhou Li'an did not hide his residence.
The cooperative relationship between him and Lao Wang has been established, and some trust can be properly transferred under the bundle of interests.
Trucks are unloading in a vacant lot at Hood Farm.
After everyone left, Zhou Li'an put all the equipment into the system space.
All adult clothing, uniform large sizes.
If the size is too large, it can be changed to a smaller size, so there is no distinction between men's and women's clothing and children's clothing. Everything is based on practicality.
at the same time.
The remaining thirteen tribes of the Modoc people also migrated and arrived in the past few days, and only two tribes excused themselves from arriving.
The clan leader climbed the mountain to get angry and knelt down to ask for a fight. He wanted to lead the Knights of Balance to eliminate those rebellious ones for my lord.
But Zhou Li'an had already made plans...
If you don't come, then you are asking for blessings.
When the cold wave comes, the Aztecs in the south will have to feed on humans, and a group of mountain tribes will suffer even more, even if they do not rely on agriculture to survive.
However, abnormal changes in climate also have a great impact on animal migration and fish migration.
Afterwards, there was another celebration of blessings from the gods.
The whole celebration lasted for three days.
Zhou Li'an took the trouble to accept the worship of each tribe member at the altar outside the valley, and gave these more than 15,000 people one by one clothing to keep out the cold.
Every tribesman has the image of the god imprinted in their mind...
This is a deep brainwashing process.
When Lao Wang comes back from Juarez, he will also order a batch of "Zhou Li'an Statues" to be given to the tribesmen as rewards.
Make sure that every home has a statue to solidify the supreme power of God.
Generation after generation will remember the true God’s image indelibly.
And the most important thing is...
The true God is immortal, who can question the greatness of the Lord of Balance?
This night.
Zhou Li'an issued a divine edict: "Three days later, the people of Balance should complete my test, migrate south, and create the kingdom of God that belongs to Balance!!"
