Chapter 164 Commissioned Cooperation
"Tommy, what do you want to see me for? You don't want to join my team to pick up cans, do you?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"You guessed it right, man! I don't have a penny on me now and I'm homeless. I thought about it carefully and maybe only your place can accommodate me. After all, there are so many homeless people in your team." Tommy said.
"Why do you think I will take you in? Although I'm doing recycling work here, my team is not a garbage recycling station. Anyone can join. If you have no place to live, you can go to a shelter. Do you need me to introduce one to you?" Zhang Ailun replied.
"Because I have a business mind and can make a lot of money for you! I also have a thorough plan that can bring you at least $50,000 in income!"
"The last person who made such a promise to me had his legs broken, and in the end he even asked me to help him clean up the mess." Zhang Ailun sneered.
But she still gave him a chance, "Tell me, what's your plan? You don't want me to help you wipe out the hostile forces? I heard that the reason you went bankrupt was because you were betrayed, and a batch of your goods were stolen by someone?"
"You even know about this?" Tommy was a little surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, it was not surprising that the other party's intelligence network was very perverted.
He answered honestly, "Yes, I was persecuted and fell into a trap set by my own people. I used all the money I had on hand to buy a batch of pirated records and even took out a loan to buy a batch of pornographic videos. Everything was going well, but I didn't expect that a large number of the same cheap records would appear on the market, which led to my sales being very poor. I couldn't sell them and I didn't make a penny!"
"After that, I was betrayed and reported for tax evasion and illegal sale of pornographic videos. They said that there were underage girls in my videos and I was suspected of child trafficking and abuse! Fxxk you! This is bullshit! I am a decent person! But I don't know what those police officers got into, they actually found evidence of crimes I committed many years ago! In the end, because I couldn't repay the debt, my assets were frozen and recovered, and I declared bankruptcy."
It can be seen that this guy is very angry and very unlucky.
"According to what you said, this batch of goods should have no value anymore. Why would it be snatched away?" Zhang Ailun asked puzzledly.
"I just realized now that they had been colluding with people from other record companies and stockpiled a batch of goods in advance. When I took the bait and spent a lot of money to buy them, they started to dump the stocks. After my record company was destroyed, they made money and destroyed a large number of replicas and pirated records, and sales returned to normal. Fuck! I have been in the West Coast for so long, but I didn't expect to be screwed by my own people in the end!"
Tommy said bitterly, "What's even more infuriating is the guy who betrayed me. As soon as I got into trouble, he paid the penalty and jumped to my mortal enemy's company, and even took my goods."
"..."
Isn't it the same as buying high and it falls, buying low and it rises? If you are unlucky, don't blame the uneven road.
Tommy, you are really too kind. What are you trying to do to those people? Where is your AK?
"So what do you want me to do for you? Get the goods back? That doesn't seem to be of much benefit to me. I don't have that much ability. I'm just a scrap recycler and don't want to get involved in the mess in your circle." Zhang Ailun waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to get involved in street disputes.
"Listen to me. The goods that were stolen earlier are worth at least $5 based on the current market price! I don't want a cent for those $5 worth of pirated records. They are all yours! I can also help you find someone to sell them!"
Tommy said, "I just can't swallow this! I want him to pay a heavy price! I know the traitor's home address. He bought an apartment with the money, and he's having a party tonight! He must know where the goods are. You just need to bring your people with me to his house to get the goods back, and I'll take care of the rest!"
"I will think about it."
When Zhang Ailun heard him say this, he nodded, "But I still need to consult other people's opinions."
"I'll come to you again tonight. If you disagree, I can understand, but I will still take action!" Tommy said and turned and left.
Zhang Ailun fell into deep thought as he watched the other person leave. Jennifer complained, "This guy is full of nonsense. All of it is lies. You don't really believe what he said, do you?"
"Of course I don't believe it, because he only mentioned the batch of goods worth $5, but didn't mention anything about the record company's warehouse and the filming location in the suburbs. I have long been aware of the business model of companies like theirs. Even if they are bankrupt, the residual value should be more than that. Otherwise, there is no reason for him to give up $ worth of goods unless he can get more from it!" Zhang Ailun replied.
Jennifer seemed a little surprised. "So you're going to help him get the goods back?"
"What goods? Isn't that our goods? That's a pirated CD worth 50,000 US dollars, and it's a hot-selling product recently." Zhang Ailun smiled.
He pulled out his phone and looked at the message Blitzcrank had sent him.
Blitzcrank: Done. That arcade will be out of gold for 24 hours. It will take at least two days to fix it. They won't have time to bother you.
Allen Zhang: Thank you so much, Blitz.
Blitzcrank: This is just a small matter for me. If you have any errands or activities in the future, remember to take me with you. I heard that Sig and the others made a lot of money following you! You know me. My health is very bad. If I want to be healthy, I have to spend a lot of money to buy medicine. I also need to make money!
Zhang Ailun: Don't worry. If there's any errand activity that requires your help in the future, I'll definitely turn to you first.
Transferred 2000 . dollars to the other party.
Zhang Ailun: This is my reward for helping me make the positioning program yesterday.
Blitzcrank: Ok! I'll get busy now. :)
Zhang Ailun originally wanted to contact Darren to inquire about Old Pick's auto repair shop's intention to sell, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that they were just casual acquaintances, the other party's father had just passed away, and the other party had not decided whether to sell the auto repair shop. If he rushed over to ask about the price, it would easily leave a bad impression on people.
He didn't find any sales pages online, and he was too embarrassed to bother the other party. He decided to wait until the other party was really interested in selling the auto repair shop before asking for the price.
Zhang Allen put away his phone, said hello to Jennifer, and got up and returned to the RV. "I'm going back to catch up on some sleep. I slept a little late last night. Remember to wake me up."
"Honey, do you need me to accompany you?" Jennifer immediately wanted to follow after hearing that.
You think I don't know what you're thinking?
"I just want to have a good rest, you go and do your thing."
The leader has already fought with Gis today, and his mental state is not very good, so let's just forget it.
Jennifer was understanding and didn't force him. "Do you need me to give you a massage? I learned a few new tricks from short videos! They can help you fall asleep quickly!"
"Let's give it a try." Zhang Ailun thought about it and agreed happily.
Jennifer also started to apply it in practice immediately, and her technique was very good. The leader enjoyed it very much. He lay on the Simmons mattress, feeling relaxed and drowsy, and fell asleep soon.
When I woke up again, it was already dark.
Zhang Ailun stretched, took out his cell phone and checked the time. He had slept for six hours.
I glanced out the window and saw that my friends had returned from get off work and were sitting by the campfire, chatting and laughing.
Sig had made up for the day's sleep and was now up, sitting outside eating a sandwich and drinking milk to replenish his nutrition. Zhang Allen washed his face to wake himself up, got out of the car, and walked over to ask David and Gate about their work in the rich area.
"It's pretty good. Sister Olivia takes good care of us, and the security personnel don't look at us with tinted glasses. We agreed to go there to recycle waste every Friday." David replied.
"That's good."
Seeing that everything was going well, Zhang Ailan felt relieved. He called Sig to the side and told him about Tommy.
"Tommy? Is he the white guy who lost his car last time and asked us to find it?" Sig recalled and remembered the loud-voiced, sturdy white man who was about 50 meters tall.
After hearing about the troubles the other party had encountered, Sig couldn't help but feel a little gloating. "This guy has been selling pirated records and pornographic videos all his life, but he was actually cheated by his own people? His assets were seized by the police and he went bankrupt? He is such an unlucky guy. I can't help but mourn for him!"
Although he said words of pity, the smile on his face was very bright.
"Did he really say he would give us all those records worth fifty thousand dollars?" Sig was a little skeptical.
"How could this be false? He came to us to ask for help, and I didn't take the initiative to help him. Although those pirated discs are very valuable, they are only 50,000 US dollars, which is not enough to make him go back on his word."
Zhang Ailun pondered, "I guess he wants to get something more valuable back from the people who betrayed him, such as a warehouse in the city or a venue in the suburbs. This asset is much more valuable than pirated CDs!"
"And these assets? He has already promised to give us that batch of goods. Although he didn't mention the warehouse and the filming location, would he not give them to us if we want them?" Sig's eyes lit up.
The Beggars' Sect disciple also said, "Boss, we have already decided to help him with such a big favor. A record worth 50,000 US dollars is not enough to offend people. If he encounters trouble in the future, won't we still help him solve it? Why not just pack up those assets as well?"
Zhang Ailun was very serious in correcting their wrong thinking, "Nonsense! We are serious businessmen and never do anything illegal. How can you rob people so blatantly? What's the difference between this kind of extortion and those street gangs?"
"Fifty thousand dollars is already a lot, and it is enough to show his sincerity. If it is something that belongs to us, it will come to our door on its own. If it is not ours, we will lose it even if we get it."
Just helping the other party to hold the scene and finding that batch of goods can get a reward of 50,000 US dollars. What else do you want?
The Beggars' Sect disciples became much more obedient after receiving the earnest instructions from their leader.
Soon Tommy arrived as promised. When he came to the camp and saw Zhang Ailun, who had gathered people and was ready to set off, he was very happy.
"Dude! I knew I was right! You will definitely not give up the meat that is right in front of your mouth! Then it's a deal! If you do me a favor, the records worth 50,000 US dollars will all be yours, and I can help you sell them! When I get my place back and get back what I lost, I will have a good party then!"
"We only do our job for money. We are just helping you teach a lesson to the employee who betrayed you. Are you so sure that you can rise again? Do you want to extort extra money from him?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"Of course it won't be that simple. I have plenty of ways."
Tommy didn't say much about the details, so Zhang Ailun didn't ask much either. He just asked about the background of the employee who betrayed him and the relationships between the people who attended the party.
"That guy received a sum of money from Lanno Records and lived a very carefree life. It was enough for him to eat, drink and have fun for several years. He didn't have any background. At most, he had connections with a few unruly street blacks. That guy also found a black girlfriend. They probably don't know that I've gotten out of it! Fuck you! I will make him pay the price!"
Tommy said viciously: "I must take back what I lost with my own hands!"
Zhang Ailun just found his speech funny and was not very optimistic about him. The drama of a loser making a comeback is no longer popular now. If you really have the ability, you should be invincible from the beginning!
Several people got in the car, and following Tommy's navigation instructions, Zhang Ailun started the car and drove away from the bridge cave camp.
Soon I arrived at the community according to the navigation. I parked the Wrangler on the side of the road and heard the howling of ghosts and wolves and the sound of the speakers coming from the apartment from a distance. The sound insulation effect was very poor.
"This is a real party. The noisy neighbors want to beat them to death!"
Tommy got out of the car and wanted to knock on the door, but Zhang Allen stopped him and winked at Sig, "This kind of professional matter should be left to professionals like us. You just wait on the side."
"Then can I be the last one to appear? Because the protagonist is often like this." Tommy made his request.
Are you still the protagonist?
Do you really think that Tommy has come back to Miami by storm?
However, considering the $50,000 worth of goods, Zhang Allen nodded and agreed, "Ok, since you are willing to be the finale, then it's up to you!"
Sig went over and knocked on the door, then shouted, "Hey! Whoever's in there, can you be quiet? I live next door! You guys are making so much noise that I can't sleep peacefully!"
A voice responded from inside: "We are having a party! Didn't we tell you in advance?"
"Fuck you! Get away from us! Okay? Don't disturb us! If you have the guts, call the police!"
Damn, so arrogant?
The rap accent is obviously from the West Coast, there's no doubt it's from a black guy.
"I've already told you to turn down the volume." While knocking on the door, Xige waved to the Beggar Gang disciples behind him, who gathered on both sides of the door.
The people inside were getting a little impatient with the noise. An old black man with dreadlocks, a nose ring and lip piercings pushed open the door, looked at Sig who was blocking the door, and pulled out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at his forehead.
"Fuck! I told you! We're at a party! Don't bother us! Got it?"
Seeing his dazed look, Sig knew that the boy must have been high, so he immediately raised his hands, "Hey! I just want to remind you to keep your voice down...Fuck you niggers!!"
An unexpected kick landed on Lao Hei's chest, knocking him to the ground!
He picked up the pistol on the ground and broke the door open with force.
The Beggars' Sect disciples who had been waiting for a long time also squeezed in and took out the weapons they carried with them.
