Chapter 150 Ten-Faced Guanyin
After simply dealing with the matters at the Sanji Bar, seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Ailun drove back to the Qiaodong Camp.
Today's expenditure was US$94000, and the remaining assets are US$40859. It's really like spending money like water.
When they arrived at the Qiaodong camp, they saw Sig and others were there, and Zhang Ailun handed over the good things in the USB drive to him.
"What is this?" Sig looked at the USB drive in confusion.
"It's a good thing you need. But I suggest you not to indulge yourself too much and be more moderate." Zhang Ailun patted his shoulder.
Sig took a skeptical look at it, secretly ran to the car to read the card, clicked on the catalog video, studied it carefully, and suddenly felt his blood boiling.
The one who knows me is the chief leader!
After his friends got off work, Zhang Allen asked Dave to prepare a new contract in duplicate, signed by himself, and gave it to Mary and Gus at the bar tomorrow.
"From now on, you don't have to go anywhere else to drink. You can go to our own bar to eat, drink and have fun. I guarantee that our drinks are absolutely not adulterated!"
Zhang Ailun also went all out to attract customers, "There are also exciting programs to be saved!"
Upon hearing this, even little Lori, who was not very interested, wanted to go for a drink. It happened that he had received subsidies and shopping coupons today and had some money in his pocket, so he hurriedly asked when the business would open.
"The bar will only be open for these two days, so you don't need to wait too long," Zhang Ailun explained.
The interior only needs some simple decoration and cleaning, and then some goods can be purchased.
In order to prevent others from trying to cause trouble on their territory, or from selling pills, leaves, cocoa, etc. in private, Zhang Ailun also plans to let the Five Elders of Kongtong stand guard there as security personnel. On weekdays, they will sit in the bar when they have nothing to do, and occasionally patrol the streets.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the profits to come in. The business is booming, and life is getting better and better.
Zhang Ailun found Dominic again and asked about the business in the market today.
"Not bad. Many people bought some clothes and daily necessities, but the most popular items were probably painkillers and Playboy magazines, as well as condoms. Some even bought a box together."
Nothing was beyond Dominic's expectations. Only a homeless person understands what a homeless person needs.
"..."
Zhang Ailun was also shocked after hearing this. Can condoms be bought by the box?
I can only sigh that there are so many talented people on the street. Unlike the chief leader, he only likes to get something for free and doesn't like to be restrained.
Blitz and Sarah brought fried chicken and beer to everyone. Dominic went to the RV to make a fire and cook, and they had a simple meal together.
As it was getting late, we cleaned the camp and went home to sleep.
Jennifer's mind was full of siege tactics, and she didn't pester the leader anymore. She tried her luck on social media, chatting with John, with whom she had done business today, and complaining from time to time.
"This guy won't spend a penny on me, and he's still bragging about winning tens of thousands of dollars in Las Vegas that night. All the gambler's words are lies!"
Jennifer originally wanted to set a trap, but she didn't expect the middle-aged white man to be so shrewd and didn't mention anything about money.
I worked for several hours and didn't earn a cent. I looked at Dogecoin and saw that it had fallen from the daytime. I suddenly felt like the sky was falling.
USDT-160.
I lost $160 without doing anything.
I was so angry that I turned off my phone, covered my head and went to sleep in bed.
Zhang Ailun was also happy to have some free time. He took out his mobile phone to chat with the girls to maintain some relationships. He received a welfare picture sent by Olivia, watched some short videos, and seeing that it was getting late, he simply went to bed.
Silent all night.
The next day.
Zhang Ailun got up refreshed and energetic. As usual, he took out his mobile phone and checked the daily information.
[Daily Intelligence: Alfred Scrap Recycling Station will receive a door-to-door recycling task. The warehouse located in Apartment 1356, Flying Squirrel Community, District 50 needs to be sorted out. The other party is willing to pay $1988 for the waste cleaning fee. Details: The warehouse contains a Apple IIGS computer, a solid-state hard drive and a graphics card IC chip required for mining. After decryption, it may be possible to extract BTC. ]
Bitcoin again?
Zhang Ailun was a little surprised. Good, good, good! It has to be you, Intelligence Brother! It was worth it that he spent three hours in a row reading virtual currency news yesterday. God really pays off those who work hard.
[Daily Intelligence: Your good friend Simone's discount coupon business is in urgent need of manpower. She needs to use 500 discount coupons to redeem daily necessities at various convenience stores within a limited time.]
Simone? I haven't seen Hei Mei for a few days. It seems that her discount coupon business is really good.
[Daily Intelligence: There is a black man wanted for suspected shoplifting at 340 Red Palm Motel on West Street. The owner of the 58 black market app in Los Angeles issued a task to arrest him for $4000. He needs to send the man and the goods to an abandoned construction site in the suburbs. Details: The black man stole a counterfeit of the Qing Dynasty Ten-Faced Guanyin Gilded Bodhisattva Buddha Statue. The goods were hidden at the sewer entrance of the unfinished building on West Street.]
It scared me, I thought it was real.
Why would you steal a replica? Don't you think it's really valuable?
[Daily Intelligence: Carnation Club has launched its latest product. The new bartender has used whiskey to mix a strong cocktail called Flaming Red Lips. It is expected that a large number of young and beautiful female college students in Los Angeles and white-skinned and beautiful white-collar workers will be drunk. You can wait outside for a beautiful encounter with them.]
Zhang Ailun:?
Slander! Pure slander!
The chief leader was a little angry. He just praised you for being sensible, and now you do this again the next second!
Zhang Ailan got up unhappily, washed up, and made breakfast for several people. He called Dominic and Jennifer, and asked them to call Jesse to come over for dinner.
After a simple breakfast, Jennifer was responsible for washing the dishes, and Zhang Allen received another message from Simone.
Simone: Do you and your people have time today to help me cash in a batch of daily necessities? I have 500 large discount coupons here, and I will pay you the balance and a hire fee.
Zhang Ailun: Damn it, you didn’t contact me these few days, I thought you ran off with some weird guy!
Simone: ? ? I'm clearly working hard to make money! Rent and utilities are expensive!
Zhang Ailun: I have something else to do today, so I can't help you personally. I will inform Dominic about this matter. You only need to talk to him about future cooperation in this area. He is now in charge of our recycling station business and personnel management. We are all family, so there is no need to make such clear distinctions. You only need to pay others a fee for running errands.
Simone: You opened a recycling station?
Zhang Ailun: That’s right, old Carl’s recycling station was transferred to us, and he also opened a bar. Remember to come and visit when you have time!
Simone was shocked: "Bar? What have I missed these days! I knew you wouldn't stay on the street for too long! Sure enough, I was not disappointed. I will patronize your business when I have time."
The two exchanged a few more words, and Simone went back to work. It was obvious that she was indeed very busy, but Dave and Little Lori seemed to have invested in her business, and Blitz also helped her build a discount coupon website.
Zhang Allen informed Dominic of the news and said, "Find a few people in the team who are able to walk easily. Ask them to temporarily stop picking up cans today and go do something with Simone. Don't worry, these are paid errands, and they will definitely not be treated unfairly."
At least having a job would earn more than picking up cans.
Although the income from picking up cans for the Beggars' Sect disciples is stable, it is still unlikely for them to make a lot of money, so they still need to do some extra side jobs occasionally.
Dominic immediately notified Leo and Monica via his cell phone and received a response from them, saying, "Done. There are several people willing to take on this job, all of whom are strong and healthy." "Okay, then you can go directly to the recycling station to work. I have a feeling I may make another fortune today! If you receive any door-to-door recycling business, remember to notify me. I haven't done this kind of work before and I need to familiarize myself with it." Zhang Ailun instructed.
"Ok."
Dominic didn't need the leader to remind him, as he had already planned to work at the recycling station. After all, this was his first day as a shareholder and person in charge.
Zhang Ailun was about to go to the Red Palm Motel on West Street to arrest the black man. He took out his cell phone and opened the Los Angeles 58 black market app, accurately searching and locating the posted errand mission activities.
His employer also quickly sent him a message.
Master Ye: Are you sure you want to accept this mission? Let me tell you in advance, if you don't find the black man within 24 hours, I will cancel the mission order and reissue the mission. All your efforts will be in vain and you won't get a penny. If you can find the black man in advance within 1 hours, I will give you an extra reward of 12 US dollars!
Burger King: What if I only need 2 hours to catch him?
The employer was silent for a moment, and then replied: Impossible! If you really have this ability, I think I don't mind giving you an extra $1000 in compensation!
How come it’s only one thousand?
Search on QQ.
Burger King: The mission status shows that this black man stole your things. Can you tell me what the items are?
Master Ye: It is a relatively expensive antique. You don’t need to know too much about other things. Just bring the shameless thief to me and I will pay you for your employment. If you can bring the antique to me, I can pay you extra money!
Burger King: How much?
Master Ye: Please talk to me first if you can really deliver it to me. Any unfulfilled promises are useless nonsense and just a waste of each other's time.
Burger King: OK.
After negotiating the terms with his employer, Zhang Ailun immediately left the RV and went looking for Sig.
But I didn’t see him at the old place. I was a little confused as to why he didn’t get up to exercise today?
When we found him, we discovered that he was still in the tent and was sleeping in today.
"Hey, man, what's wrong with you? You got up even later than Dominic? Now I have to wake him up on time at seven or eight o'clock every day. You've been a bit slack today!" Zhang Ailun immediately opened the tent, woke the man up and criticized him.
Sig, with panda eyes and a listless look, got dressed and crawled out of the tent, yawning, "Boss, do you have another job for me to do?"
Zhang Ailun looked at his haggard appearance, with kidney deficiency written all over his face. He wondered if he had masturbated too much, "What time did you go to bed yesterday?"
Xige felt a little guilty and avoided his gaze. "It's not too late, probably only two or three in the morning at most."
"You're looking at the female anchor again!!" Zhang Ailun said.
"I definitely didn't look at the female anchor!" Sig said seriously.
"That means watching the short video in the USB drive."
Sig's mouth twitched.
Zhang Ailun sighed, didn’t I tell you to take care of yourself, is that thing really that good-looking?
"That's not true!" Sig argued.
"Okay, let me ask you this, how many times did you masturbate yesterday?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"..." Sig was speechless and groaned, "This is my privacy! I have the right not to answer you."
Zhang Ailun was too lazy to argue with him, "Go wash your face and tidy up, we are going to do something important."
"What's the big deal?" Sig asked doubtfully.
"I'll wait for you in the car." Zhang Ailun did not answer him directly, but turned and left.
Zhang Ailun waited in the Wrangler for a few minutes before Sig finally arrived. He got in the car, fastened his seat belt, and asked again, "What kind of job is this?"
Zhang Ailun took out the photo of Lao Hei and the task requirements sent by the employer and asked him to review them. He explained, "A black man broke into the house and stole antiques. The employer spent a lot of money on the black market to arrest him. It just so happens that I have information about him. We can definitely get this generous reward!"
"Another black man!?" Sig felt it was out of character, yet it also seemed natural.
After all, this is indeed something that black people can do. It would be strange if they abided by the law.
Zhang Ailun searched the geographical coordinates and drove to the sewer entrance on West Street, ready to find the hidden antique first. Anyway, Lao Hei was living in a motel and couldn't run away for a while.
After getting off the car, Zhang Ailun searched for the sewer outlet along the navigation route, and finally saw signs of human cover at a sewage outlet where no water was flowing out.
He violently kicked open the iron sheet of the sewage outlet, then waved to Sig to go in and explore.
"Why me?" Sig looked at Zhang Ailun speechlessly.
"If I need to go through the sewers myself, why would I call you over here?"
Zhang Ailun said unhappily, “Hurry up, there is no sewage in this abandoned sewer.”
Sig's arm was unable to twist his thigh, so he could only obey the chief's command, crawled into the sewer entrance, fumbled inside for a long time, and found a black package.
"What is this thing? Steel? It's so heavy." Sig dragged the package out with great effort. Looking at the bulging package, he felt a little doubtful about his life.
Zhang Ailun asked him to open it and confirm whether the antiques inside were intact, and Sig immediately did so and opened the zipper.
The golden Ten-Faced Guanyin Buddha statue also showed the tip of the iceberg and floated out of the water, which shocked the worldly-wise Sig instantly. "WTF!! What is this?"
With exquisite workmanship and simple appearance, the Ten-Faced Guanyin's face is lifelike, containing joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, evil, tranquility, sadness and shock. At first glance, it looks like something that would be displayed in a museum.
But Zhang Ailun could tell at a glance that this thing was just a showpiece.
The more shiny and beautiful the surface of something is, the more likely it was unearthed close to the present.
Business Weekly? Last week’s!
"This thing must be very valuable, right?" Sig exclaimed.
"It's not valuable, it must be a fake, and I don't know why that old black man stole it." Zhang Ailun answered casually.
"If it's just a fake, would the employer spend a lot of money to get it back?" Sig was a little hesitant, unable to understand those people's thoughts.
"Maybe he himself doesn't know that this thing is a fake, or maybe he just wants to vent his anger. It's possible that this thing is not that simple and there are some secrets hidden in it. But this has nothing to do with us." Zhang Ailun had no interest in this thing. It was not mentioned in the intelligence, so why bother? He only cared about the mission reward.
I looked at the time and only twenty minutes had passed. It was still a long way from two hours.
