Chapter 157 Connections and Revenge
"20000 US dollars." Zhang Ailun raised the price without hesitation.
Old George was stunned after hearing this, Duo Shao?
"But the price I said was $4500!"
Old George even thought he was hard of hearing.
"Yes, your suggestion is very pertinent, but I don't accept your advice! I want to sell it for $2." Zhang Ailun smiled.
Your first bid has reached $4500, which means you can definitely make more profit!
Old George's face turned black, thinking that the other party was treating him as a unit of measurement for identifying the goods.
He patiently explained, "Although this is a good antique, it has been stored for too long and the writing on it is a little blurred. Its collection value is not that high. It is only worth about $8000 at most. I will also have to find someone to sell it on my behalf, which is another expense."
If I believe you, there must be something fishy going on.
You can sell this protection order for at least $20000, or even more.
You'd better not look so ugly when eating!
"Okay, then I'm willing to sell it to you for $17500." Zhang Ailun nodded.
The two bargained for a while, and finally George was reluctant to let the duck fly away again. Zhang Allen also took a step back. The other party reluctantly gave up, "Okay, I can take $16800 for the ship license. Together with the previous two items, the total is $17500. Do you want to pay in cash or online banking?"
"Need I say more? Of course I'll use online banking, unless you also have virtual currency to pay me." Zhang Ailun took out his savings card and handed it to the other party. Old George took it and went into the house, wrote him a receipt, and transferred the money.
"Ok, the money has been transferred to you."
Zhang Ailun took out his cell phone and took a look.
+17500 USD.
The remaining assets are $13.
He said hello to Old George, then turned around and walked out of the door feeling refreshed.
After getting in the car, Zhang Ailun found that the gas in the tank was almost insufficient after running for several days in a row, so he immediately started chatting with people one by one.
Olivia: I have a gas card at home, which was given to me when I maintained my Lexus at the car dealership. You can take it to the gas station on West Street to get free gas. The room key is under the red flower pot on the right side of the apartment door.
Simone: Gas card? I got a coupon that lets me pay $50 for $1 worth of gas.
Jennifer: I can ask a gas thief on the street to deliver a tank of gas to you. What kind do you need?
Reina: The shelter only provides free car washes. I can't give you my gas card, but you can drive my car directly.
Look, this is the benefit of having connections!
Zhang Ailun screened the price-performance ratio and still felt that free refueling was more attractive. He immediately replied to everyone one by one, drove to the apartment where Olivia lived, found the key to the room she mentioned, entered her room and got the gas card.
I also sent a message to Sig, asking him to pull out his RV and pickup truck for a walk and go to the shelter to queue up for a free car wash.
It was evening. Zhang Allen received a message from Olivia.
Olivia: I'm off work, aren't you going to thank me? You can come to my house tonight and show me how you can stand on your head.
Zhang Ailun did not refuse, after all, he used her gas card and promised to perform a handstand for her. He sent a message to Dominic saying he would not go back and drove to Olivia's apartment.
She took the key and opened the door with ease. The whole house was filled with fragrance. Olivia was cooking in the kitchen.
Olivia wasn't surprised to see him coming so soon, she just signaled him with her eyes, "Honey, you can go upstairs and take a shower first, we can do business after dinner!"
"Can't you just go straight to the stomach?"
Zhang Ailun walked over and said, "I take a shower every day, and my body is very clean!"
"I'm still cooking, oh..."
He hugged the other person from behind.
Olivia quickly got into the mood.
Olivia got addicted to the simple appetizers and said unhappily, "I can't even eat if you keep doing this."
"It doesn't matter, I'll cook! You go and have a rest." Zhang Ailun simply took over the responsibility of cooking.
Using semi-finished dishes, the meal was ready in no time and served on the table for the other party to taste.
"I didn't expect the food you cook tastes so good." Olivia praised after tasting it.
"If it tastes good, eat more." Zhang Ailun smiled.
They turned on the TV and played the local American drama Supernatural. They ate and talked while solving the dinner problem. After washing the dishes, they sat on the sofa with popcorn and started watching TV.
Olivia became a little dishonest as she watched, and she wanted to transform into a female knight. She turned over and said to me, "Honey, aren't you going to perform a handstand for me?"
"Who said that? What I meant was that I learned it and asked you to do a handstand." Zhang Ailun argued.
"What?" Without giving Olivia a chance to react, Zhang Allen turned over and pressed her under him, holding up his gun.
Next up is the paid shows.
……
The next day.
Zhang Allen opened his eyes and stretched himself refreshed. He turned around and found that Olivia had already gotten up. There was a clanging sound coming from downstairs. She must be making breakfast. What a hardworking woman.
I opened the daily intelligence and took a look.
[Daily Intelligence: There is a scratch-off ticket worth $5000 in your good neighbor Jesse’s tent! ]
Huh? Gold coins started popping up on Jesse?
[Daily Intelligence: The private butler of the luxury villa area No. 668 in Zone A of the Crown District, which you are in charge of, has issued a task to recruit four professional security personnel, offering an hourly wage of $65. They will take a passenger business jet to a private island in the California waters at 22:30 to participate in the exhibition of billionaire collector Madison. The party will last until tomorrow, with exciting programs and free party meals. You may try to bring someone to apply for this job. ]
[Daily Intelligence: The owner of the Wasp Scrap Recycling Station is trying to retaliate against you. He has mortgaged the recycling station to an underground loan company for $95000 and is trying to take a 4pm flight to leave Los Angeles and go to Laos in Southeast Asia to seek refuge with his cousin, the manager of the Telecom Park. He has someone search your identity information and hired two gang gunmen from the Titan Game Hall motorcycle gang in the Fifth Block to retaliate. They plan to sneak into the Bridge Hole Camp at 10pm and assassinate you. - Click and hold to download your biographical identity information. ]
Zhang Ailun:?
No, buddy, I let you go yesterday, but you came here on your own, right?
You really think you are a good citizen, don't you? Is your cousin a breeding manager at a pig farm?
good good!
Zhang Ailun took a look at the two popular messages, downloaded the photos, and decided that sitting around and waiting for death was not his style, so he immediately sent the face photos to Blitz.
Zhang Ailun: Someone hired some thugs to cause trouble for me. Can you help me find the location of these people?
Blitzcrank: Give me a few minutes.
A few minutes later, Blitzcrank sent another message with real-time location.
Blitz: I found it. [Location sharing] The two black people are resting in a motel in District 7. The other one is in a community apartment, which should be the house he rents for a long time.
Zhang Ailun: Can the real-time status of this location be updated continuously?
Blitz: Sure. I can help you write a small program right now, with a real-time map software in the background. It will automatically vibrate to remind you when you are close to your phone. I will send the program to you, you can unzip and download it, and delete it after you are done.
It has to be you! The godfather of Los Angeles' underground hacker! You will never let me down.
Blitz: [Mysterious code]. Unzip it, find the installation package in the root directory of the phone, and click to install. Allow the prompt. Zhang Ailun: OK!
Zhang Ailun installed the small program according to his instructions. After clicking it, the coordinates of the Los Angeles map were quickly displayed, and the current distance was kilometers.
He then took out his mobile phone to check the next piece of daily intelligence.
[Daily Intelligence: The black Franklin drug gang arrested by the police yesterday admitted their crimes. Your good friend Dave will try the case and is expected to be sentenced to a total of 160 years in prison. They will not affect the opening of your Sanji Bar. ]
good good!
It is better to throw him into prison.
Zhang Ailun decided to catch the man and give him a good lesson.
Sent a message to Sig, asking him to take people to the apartment community to control the wasp boss for him, and then go to the motel to arrest the person.
Sig:? That recycling station yesterday? What did they do to you?
Zhang Ailun: He donated some money to charity yesterday, but he wants to go back on his word today. I was planning to give him a banner.
Sig: So he wanted revenge on you?
Zhang Ailun: He is really too bad. Not only did he block me with his car, he even hired two gunmen from Motobang to assassinate me. I am going to have a good talk with him. How many years will the person be sentenced for hiring a killer and absconding with the money?
Sieg: Depending on the severity of the case, the prison sentence could be at least several decades.
Zhang Ailun: Too few, let Dave handle it, we are only responsible for arresting people. If his attitude is not good, we will use another method to deal with him! By the way, I have a job to apply for in the afternoon, you should prepare and gather your equipment.
Sig: What job?
Zhang Ailun: Protect the safety of employers. With your qualifications, you should be able to get the job. The hourly wage is $65!
Sieg: Is this the hourly wage? We are making thousands of dollars a day, and we still need to do this kind of work? It shouldn't be dangerous, right?
You're drifting, Sig.
Do you no longer care about the $65 hourly wage?
Zhang Ailun: [Recruitment information] You can take a look at it yourself. Anyway, I have already signed up. I will still need to be interviewed when the time comes, but I think we should be able to go through the back door. I have a friend who also works in the community property department.
Sieg: The female friend who can keep you out all night?
Zhang Ailun: You'd better shut up now! Don't ruin my reputation outside!
Sig: Okay.
Do you still have a good reputation? Now everyone on the streets of District 5 knows that you are the best player on the West Coast.
Zhang Allen sent another message to Gate and David, asking them to drive the garbage truck to the rich area after getting up to see the world and learn about the work details. Olivia would be responsible for receiving them.
After putting away his phone, Zhang Ailun got up, dressed, washed up, went out and went downstairs, and said hello to Olivia.
"Are you up? Honey? Breakfast is almost ready. Do you want your eggs medium-rare or well-done?" Olivia noticed Zhang Ailun coming downstairs and greeted him enthusiastically.
Zhang Ailun replied casually: "As long as it's you who made it, it doesn't matter, I like it!"
"I am very satisfied with your answer!"
Olivia smiled happily: "Sir, please wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon."
"Ok." Zhang Ailun readily agreed, sat at the table and waited patiently.
Two minutes later, Olivia had prepared breakfast and brought it up on a plate.
Wow, it’s actually a heart-shaped fried egg!
Sitting face to face and enjoying a delicious breakfast, Zhang Ailan introduced David and Gate from the team to her and mentioned the security work in passing.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the people you assigned. Do you want to apply for this job?"
Olivia took out her phone and glanced at the recruitment information. She thought, "I don't know much about security work, but maybe I can recommend you internally. If you succeed, I'll contact you then. If not, you can only rely on your own talents to win the appreciation of the butler."
"The other party will definitely consider the person recommended by the property department. After all, there are very few cases of theft and robbery in your community. We are also professionals. People with CCW certificates know how to protect people, and the difference in level is not too big."
Zhang Ailun also knows that he is not a professional, so he basically keeps silent about nouns. Although he is not a professional, he has a lot of people under him, and veterans like Sig will take on the main responsibilities.
Free flights and going to private islands with employers, no danger, isn't this a public expense travel? And there are exciting shows to watch.
Let me tell you about your private island!
Is there a little girl?
"There's still some time before work, dear, do you want to take a shower?" Olivia glanced at the time, biting her lip with a seductive look.
Zhang Ailun immediately proved his strength with practical actions. He picked her up amid exclamations and went upstairs.
Soon the sound of running water was heard.
after an hour.
The two of them went out, and Allen Zhang drove Olivia to work in the Crown District.
After getting out of the car, the two kissed goodbye passionately under the astonished gaze of the police guard at the door.
Olivia carried her bag, waved her hand, and turned to walk into the community. Zhang Allen put on his sunglasses, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out of the Crown District.
The police officer on duty looked at the Wrangler's taillights, then glanced at Olivia's taillights, and felt truly envious.
When they reached the next block, Sig also sent a message to Zhang Ailan, with a real-life picture attached: We are already outside the community apartment. What should we do next? Knock on the door or climb through the window?
Zhang Ailun was waiting at the traffic light. He clicked on the picture, took a look, and typed his reply: Wait for me to pass.
Sig: ok!
When the red light turned green, Zhang Ailun stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the community where the Hornets owner lived.
After spending some time, I arrived at the old community, but I found that there was not even a doorman here, and it was not a high-end community.
I found the location information according to the house number, and my phone vibrated to remind me. The distance was less than 50 meters, and I saw Sig and others waiting outside from a distance.
Seeing Zhang Ailun's Wrangler coming and stopping on the side of the road, several people waved and greeted, "Boss, what should we do now?"
Sieg said: "We have observed that in this entire street in the community, only this apartment is occupied. The other apartments are vacant. Not to mention the collection mail in the mailbox, even the power box of the house is turned off."
Zhang Ailun locked the car door, got out, put on a tactical chest pack and gloves, and looked around. There was not even a passerby, and no cameras. It was the kind of old and run-down community that was dark at night.
I didn't have the patience to engage in a protracted war with that guy, so I decided to end it quickly.
"Just pry open the window and go in!!"
Asking a few people to line up in front and behind to keep watch, Zhang Ailun took out a crowbar and began to pry the lock skillfully.
Although there were only two actual combats, the chief leader also secretly practiced in private, and his theoretical level has increased dramatically! Techniques! It's full of techniques!
After spending some time, the window was pried open with a snap. Sig immediately led his men into the room, and soon they heard hurried footsteps from inside.
The loud noise downstairs also startled the sleeping Wasp owner. He realized something was wrong and was about to get up to look for his gun. However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a room full of big men.
The Wasp boss was stunned when he saw the people in the room. Sig and others turned around and looked at him. Their eyes met. The other person was a naked performance artist.
"abnormal!!"
"How dare you show it when it's so small!"
Several people cursed and surrounded him immediately, pointing the black muzzles of their guns at him. The Wasp boss was so scared that he almost had to pee and almost leaked it on the floor.
