Chapter 259 Quote Trailing
"Where is the truck driver you mentioned now?" Zhang Ailun asked again.
"It seems that he had already resigned on the day of the incident. He ran away to a small town in the countryside to avoid the limelight. He must hate me to death now." Maggie said helplessly: "I was originally planning to give him a few thousand dollars, but I didn't expect him to be so timid. I'm sorry for him, but he also ate my meal, so we are even now."
Can treating someone to a meal make things even? Your values have been distorted to your grandmother's family.
Zhang Allen nodded and said to Bailey, "Take these people to the mountain camp of the Kiliya Mountains for custody. Then you go to the countryside to find the truck driver and persuade him to testify in court."
"What if he doesn't agree?" Melvin asked.
"Do you still need me to teach you? If he is willing to testify, give him a reward. If he is not willing, tell him that Parker will accuse him of arson and being an accomplice to murder. He will face criminal prosecution and life imprisonment." Zhang Ailun said.
"Ok, let's go now." Bailey and Melvin put away the camera, took out the memory card and handed it to the chief leader, then returned to the van with the Beggar Gang disciples and took a few people in the car.
Watching them leave, Zhang Ailun turned around and got into the Wrangler, asking Zorro to start the vehicle.
"Oh no, my lighter and cigarettes are still on that guy!" Zorro suddenly reacted.
Just now he was completely immersed in the other person's story, thinking about how to stuff a fist in, and when it was over he didn't even think about his lighter and cigarettes.
A strange woman on the street.
"If it's gone, you can just buy some more. It's no big deal." Zhang Ailun didn't care.
Zorro didn't say anything, still savoring the other's legendary story, and asked: "Boss, where are we going next?"
Zhang Ailun took a look at the message. It was from the oil company, and there was also a private message from Old Carl.
"Go to the Manor Ranch in Green Field Town."
"Ok." Zorro nodded and drove to Green Field Manor immediately.
Zhang Ailun sat in the passenger seat, took out his cell phone and began to reply to their messages one by one.
Watson Oil: Hello, Mr. Jin, after discussion by our board of directors, based on the current international oil price, we are willing to purchase your three oil fields in Greenfield Manor in Los Angeles, California, for US$7900 million, US$ million, and US$3 million respectively. If you have any comments, we can discuss this in depth.
Zhang Ailun looked at his quote and then glanced at the daily intelligence.
I was immediately amused.
Your bottom line is clearly 8500 million, million, and million.
Are you still bargaining here and asking for kickbacks? You won't get anything from me!
The chief leader has seen through you a long time ago.
Even if your company doesn't buy it, there are plenty of people who are willing to buy it.
However, considering that the other party was a regular oil company and did not attempt to take extreme measures of forced purchase and sale, the chief leader also gave it enough respect.
After all, he is a rare green player in the US server.
Zhang Ailun: I will consider it. You can send someone to my Green Field Ranch to personally survey the oil output of the oil field, and then make your decision.
Watson Petroleum: Mr. Jin, our offer is absolutely sincere! I hope you will consider it carefully.
Zhang Ailun: This price is indeed very favorable, but the current international oil market price fluctuates between US$75 and US$82. In the next few years, there is even hope that the price will break through US$95 a barrel of crude oil again. I also hope that you can attach importance to this transaction cooperation.
Watson Petroleum: We cannot change the oil prices in the international market. It takes at least decades to exploit oil resources. No one can predict the future price trend. After all, the introduction of new energy vehicles and new energy batteries has indirectly affected the international market. In the future, the oil price may fall below the bottom price. It is impossible for us to purchase oil fields according to the current highest standards. I hope you can understand our difficulties.
Zhang Ailun: It’s okay, I can understand that, and I hope you can understand why I chose other oil companies and trade oil fields with them.
When Watson Petroleum heard this, it thought that other oil companies must have sent people over.
I panicked for a moment and said: "We will go to your ranch now! Please wait for our people to arrive before negotiating the quotation. It will only take fifteen minutes at most!"
Allen Zhang: I will.
I exited the chat box.
On the other side, the head of Watson Oil's California branch looked at the message, turned around and gave a wry smile to the female assistant: "The customer doesn't seem to be satisfied with our price."
"It doesn't matter how much money other companies offer, we just need to pay a little more than them. The board of directors has no bottom line. As long as the oil field can be developed, the company will definitely make a profit. Those shareholders only care about profits and don't care about anything else."
"We have to consider only Merlin Oil and Weimar Oil, two leading companies with branches in California and some weight in their words. Other small fish and shrimps simply don't have that much money and capital to take over these three oil fields. They will definitely not be happy to pay the money in installments."
The female assistant who also serves as the deputy director held the analysis document and said confidently: "According to our intelligence, the client seems to appreciate young and beautiful white girls. I think we may be able to start from this aspect!"
"Every man likes women." Director Watson said speechlessly, "I like mature women. Do you think he is so rich that he would lack women? We can indeed pay popular female stars to perform for us, but he may not be interested in them. Why don't you try to seduce him? Maybe he just likes your type."
"It's not impossible." The female assistant blinked and pushed up her chest twice. After all, it's hard to find such a young billionaire.
If the other party is interested in her, she can even go home at the speed of light to divorce her husband and enjoy the wonderful life of a billionaire's wife!
"I really hope your husband can clearly understand your thoughts." Director Watson complained.
The female assistant said: "It is human nature to pursue a better life. You have no reason to say that to me."
"Ok! Let's take a plane there right now. We will be there in fifteen minutes!!" Manager Watson hurriedly began to pack his luggage.
Zhang Ailun didn't know what Watson Oil was going to do, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Anyway, it was unlikely that he would sell all three oil fields to the same company. He took another look at the quotes from the other two companies.
Merlin Petroleum: Hello, Mr. Jin, after discussion by our board of directors, based on the current international oil price, we are willing to purchase your three oil fields in Greenfield Manor in Los Angeles, California, for US$7800 million, US$ million, and US$ million respectively. If you have any comments, we can discuss this in depth.
Weimar Oil: Hello, Mr. Jin, after discussion by our board of directors, based on the current international oil prices, we are willing to make the acquisitions at US$9000 million, US$ million, and US$ million respectively. If you have any comments, we can discuss this in more depth.
Basically, it was not much different from their bottom line price. Zhang Ailun thought about it for a while, then edited the information and replied to the two oil companies.
Zhang Ailun: I am on my way to Green Field Ranch now. If your company is interested in making a deal, I hope you can send someone to personally survey the oil wells. I can guarantee that the data is true, and I also hope that your company can honestly give a reasonable price.
All in all, I'm not very satisfied with the price.
Merlin Petroleum and Weimar Petroleum also understood that there were other companies bidding, so it was impossible for the customer to agree immediately, and they responded immediately: We will set off for your manor ranch now, which will take about 15-20 minutes.
Zhang Ailun: OK. I'll wait for you guys to come over.
I clicked on the message sent by Old Carl, which included several pictures of the scene. There were several iron barrels filled with crude oil.
Old Carl: The oilfield's oil pumping machines have been installed and are pumping oil steadily, but the power consumption is a bit unbearable. If the engine is fully powered, it will cost at least several hundred dollars a day! Zhang Allen: With only a few hundred dollars, you can pump out tens of thousands of dollars of oil. Just be happy.
Carl: Guess what? I was ready to sell my oil, and a local refinery contacted me, and there was an oil company that was ready to offer $7600 million to $8000 million to buy my oil field.
Zhang Ailun: The price is too low. According to the current oil price, two million barrels of crude oil resources are worth at least $ million. Their offer of $9500 million is about right.
Carl: So I'm waiting for you to come over and discuss it. I don't know how to negotiate with them. I'm an old man and it's easy for me to suffer a loss. By the way, there is also a company called Lightning Oil that sent me a letter saying that they want to treat me to a meal and spend 200 million US dollars to buy my oil field. Are these people crazy?
Zhang Ailun: Don't pay attention to them. They are planning to force me to buy and sell, and find someone to kidnap me. I have already made preparations to deal with them. If they dare to come, I will make them pay for it! The people under my command are not vegetarians!
Old Carl: Fortunately, you are here!
Putting away his cell phone, the chief sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed to rest. Zorro drove steadily, and when he drove the Wrangler into a remote country road, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the car coming from behind.
I glanced at the black Highlander through the rearview mirror. The solar film on the car windows was too dark and I couldn't see clearly at all.
The killer's instinct told him that there was something wrong with the car. Zorro immediately took out the pistol he carried with him and called the chief leader, "Boss, there is something wrong with the Highlander behind us. It is a cloned car."
Zhang Ailun opened his eyes and looked in the rearview mirror. There was indeed something wrong with the Highlander. He said calmly, "Slow down. See what it does."
As he spoke, he pulled out a handbag from under the back seat, took out a bulletproof vest, grenades, stun grenades, and a Victor submachine gun, and assembled them in no time.
Zorro stepped on the brakes to slow down. The Highlander seemed to realize that it had been discovered, so it pretended to overtake and ran ahead, leaving a distance between them.
Zhang Ailun took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the Highlander, and sent it to Blitz.
Zhang Ailun: I was followed on a rural road in the suburbs. Please help me check the information of this car.
A few minutes later, Blitz sent a message: It was a fake car, the model should be modified, registered in the name of a car rental company in downtown Los Angeles, the rental company is one of the assets of several Mexican bosses, and the person who rented the car is an employee of a private detective agency. Are they targeting you? You can look at their electromagnetic signal track.
Zhang Ailun: OK.
The chief leader opened the Terminator system and searched for the location. Sure enough, he saw that there was a mobile phone signal approaching him ten minutes ago. The same signal source basically did not exceed a range of two hundred meters.
"These bastards can't hold back and are ready to attack me." Zhang Ailun sighed. They sent a private detective to follow him and monitor his whereabouts so quickly. Are they a little too impatient?
"Do we want to kill them? There are at most four people in that car. Judging from the driving speed and the curvature of the shock absorbers, there are most likely three people." Zorro asked.
See, this is called professionalism.
"They are private detectives, not assassins. They probably don't carry any lethal weapons, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to leave Los Angeles. Their mission should just be to monitor my daily life so as to provide reliable intelligence for the subsequent kidnapping operation."
After thinking about it, Zhang Ailun immediately ordered: "Speed up! Smash its taillights!!"
"Are you sure?" Zorro looked at the chief in surprise.
"If my Wrangler can't damage a Japanese Highlander, I will never drive it again!" Zhang Allen said firmly, "It's because this place is remote and there are no cameras. They drove a Japanese car in front of me. Go! Give them a taste of their own medicine! Crash it over!!"
I immediately tightened my seat belt.
"Boss, you're crazier than I thought." Zorro complained, and without saying a word, he stepped on the accelerator and headed towards the rear of the Hanrada car that was driving at a constant speed in front of him.
With a hum, the Wrangler's engine roared, accelerated suddenly, and rushed out with unstoppable momentum.
The driver of the car in front and the private detective in the passenger seat were still taking pictures with cameras when they suddenly saw the Wrangler crashing towards them like crazy.
His expression changed at the speed of light, "Oh! Shit!!"
Bang! ! !
The next second, the whole car was tilted by the collision, the taillights shattered instantly, sparks flew from the friction, and it rolled over on the spot, crackling and rolling to the edge of the road, emitting thick white smoke, and the wheels were still spinning rapidly.
Zorro parked the Wrangler on the side of the road. Zhang Ailun got out of the car with a gun in hand. He took a look at the bumper of the Wrangler, which was basically intact. He then took a look at the tattered Highlander, which was almost turned into a hatchback.
He was immediately amused: "I told you this thing is not durable! If you race with someone on the highway in a crispy Highlander, who will die if you don't die?"
Zorro walked over and took a look at the cockpit. The airbags in the car had exploded. The three people were bleeding and had passed out.
With a sneer, that's it?
A camera, four hidden cameras, three mobile phones and a satellite phone were found in the car. I turned on the satellite phone and saw the contact number. There were three calls. One was at 2 am yesterday, one was at 7 am this morning, and the other was half an hour ago.
"You're well prepared." Zhang Ailun sneered. He turned on the camera, called up the directory and watched a video, then his face darkened.
Because this video turned out to be a scene of three people having sex with a black girl in a motel.
The corner of Zhang Ailun's mouth twitched, and he deleted the photos decisively. He opened a few more photos and found the photo of himself in the passenger seat of the Wrangler.
There is also a dozen seconds of video footage. It looks very easy, even the chief leader's breathing is clearly recorded.
"Damn it, these few dogecoins must not be kept!!"
The chief cursed and immediately took out his cell phone to call the mountain camp in the Kiliyad Mountains.
After the Beggar Gang disciple answered the call, he said, "Come and pick them up, there are more workers." He then sent them the navigation location.
Then he joined hands with Zorro and pulled the three people out of the vehicle, carried them to the road nearby, tied them up, and kept them away from the Highlander that had been in the accident to avoid an accidental explosion.
More than ten minutes later, when the three people woke up, they looked at the blue sky and white clouds and felt pain all over their bodies. Before they could do anything, the black muzzle of a gun was pointed at their foreheads.
"do not move."
Zoro said coldly.
The cold and harsh touch instantly frightened the three of them.
"Brother! Spare my life!!"
