Chapter 283 Artwork
Colonel Wood signed the contract, feeling refreshed, and called over several female non-commissioned officers from the base to massage the shoulders and backs of these capitalists. They even started the activity in front of them and took out hookahs from the drawer.
In order to fit into the atmosphere, the chief leader did not refuse this time, but he only did some physical contact.
Sig stood in the corner and watched them engage in petty dealings.
Damn, what a beast.
The party didn't end until around 2pm.
During this time, Zhang Ailun also received a message from Lei Ke, the director of Parker Company.
After taking a look, he found that the batch of electronic waste from the waste processing center needed to wait for the approval and signature of him, the big boss. He also replied to Lei Ke and told the other party that he could wait for him at the waste processing center.
He immediately prepared to leave and rejected Colonel Wood's invitation to the evening party.
With the other party's warm farewell, I walked out of the VIP room.
"If you like her, I can give her a menstrual leave so she can accompany you for two days." Colonel Wood, holding a cigarette in his mouth, pointed to the female non-commissioned officer accompanying him.
Directly without any concealment, py in front of everyone.
The female officer also has blonde hair and blue eyes, a hot body, wheat-colored skin, and a heroic appearance.
Zhang Ailun also knew something about her and had asked her name at a party before. She graduated from high school and had never received any instruction from a military academy. She was just a cashier in a convenience store before, but she met a major by chance while delivering takeout. With her own hard work, she eventually became a female non-commissioned officer at a military base.
Although she is just a staff member and logistics staff of the liberal arts department, one can imagine how difficult it has been for her along the way and how much she has paid. How inspiring!
Zhang Allen politely rejected Colonel Wood's kindness: "I still have some things to deal with at my company, so it's not very convenient. Maybe we can do it another day?"
The female officer was obviously a little regretful after hearing this. After all, she knew that the chief leader was very rich. He acquired a company with annual revenue of over 100 million yuan, made a fortune by selling oil fields, lived in the wealthy villa area of Los Angeles, and also had a private manor ranch.
A true bachelor.
If she could get close to the chief leader, she could simply choose to retire gloriously and enjoy life.
After all, if you rely on connections to become a non-commissioned officer, your career is basically over.
Even if I can't get married, if I can give birth to two children for the leader, then I won't have to worry about food and drink.
Colonel Wood also expressed regret and said that he could only leave it for next time. He watched the leader get into the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, waved goodbye, and left the military base.
When passing through the small town, Zhang Ailun also saw through the window the military base's military vehicles parked on the roadside, as well as several fully armed soldiers and FBI personnel, who directly detained several motel tenants and put them into the car under the gaze of the onlookers.
"Boss, these people should be those unlucky auditors, right? They were so cruel? They beat people to the point of bleeding?"
Sig also saw that one of the auditors was beaten black and blue, and it seemed that he wanted to resist but was beaten up. If there were not so many people nearby, he would most likely have been shot to death. Even so, the end that awaited them would definitely not be good.
"No need to stop the car, just go." Zhang Ailun reminded Sig.
Sig nodded, and without stopping, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the town.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to the waste disposal center in the suburbs of Los Angeles.
Zhang Ailun got out of the car and saw the supervisor Lei Ke who had been waiting for a long time, as well as several Beggar Gang disciples and the venue staff.
Next to it are several garbage trucks outsourced by Parker that are specifically used for transporting goods.
Zhang Ailun led his men over to say hello. Lei Ke and his men saw the chief leader coming and greeted him enthusiastically, "Boss, you're here! This waste treatment center has also signed a recycling contract with us. We have a batch of 100 tons of electronic waste that needs to be recycled."
"Aren't these kinds of things handled by relevant supervisors?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"Boss, in the past, it was always Parker's boss or the head of the acquisition department who signed, but now that the company has been acquired by you, the process has changed. You need to sign and stamp first before we can proceed with the normal purchase transaction." Lei Ke explained: "The cost price of these 100 tons of electronic waste is not cheap."
"How expensive can it be? No matter how expensive it is, it's just some scrap. The recycling price can't be more than $100,000," Zhang Ailun asked doubtfully.
"No, the most expensive electronic scrap is just large-screen LCD TVs and monitors, which cost $ per pound. These 6 tons of scrap are of various types, and are worth only about $10 at most. But there is also a batch of goods in it, which are CDs from some film and television companies, and they also want to sell them to us in packages. The staff said that they are videotapes produced by some Hollywood film and television companies in the last century, which are out of print on the market, and they want to sell them to us for $." Lei Ke said.
"Bring it here for me to see." Zhang Ailun had known about this through intelligence a long time ago, and immediately signaled Lei Ke to buy those pornographic videos and CDs for him to review. He said that if he didn't watch them, how could he know their value?
Whether it is worth $100,000, the leader can tell at a glance.
Lei Ke immediately found the equipment for playing discs and videotapes, took the videotapes and CDs from the staff, inserted them, debugged and played them, and soon a color picture appeared on the LCD monitor.
The horseshoe mark logo, as well as the manufacturer and director.
Although the picture quality is a bit poor, it can be seen that Hollywood directors in the last century were still quite capable. The movie is at least 1 hour and 30 minutes long, the plot setting and actor selection are also very good, the camera placement and costumes are also very careful, the lsp plot is interspersed with daily life, and then gets to the point. The background of this movie is still in the West, and it is a regular western cowboy plot.
It tells the story of a female bounty hunter who saw injustice and helped others. She encountered a corrupt policeman, was imprisoned, suffered persecution, rose up to resist, escaped, and lived a shameless life from then on.
Isn’t this just an American TV series without the deleted scenes from The Pistons?
It's completely fine grain.
The only drawback might be that the male actors are not strong at all. After all, that was not so important in the 60s.
The chief leader threw himself into it. He gave this western cowboy movie a thumbs up and asked Sig, "If you were asked to spend money to collect this movie, how much would you be willing to spend? The leading actress was a famous porn star at the time."
"I don't want to spend a penny." Sig said as a matter of course.
"Very good, you have received my true teachings, but not much. You have only passed on my free skills." Zhang Ailun said unhappily.
No wonder you are still a single dog. Apart from relying on the leader to find resources for you, if you go out to find food on your own, you and your brothers will starve to death.
Being extremely stingy is also part of the reason.
"I think those rich people who lived in the 12s and s will definitely miss old movies. At an auction in Florida, there seemed to be an out-of-print pornographic videotape of a porn star that was sold for $." Lei Ke explained: "This is not pornography, it is art!"
"Are these rich people crazy? They spend 120,000 to buy this thing?" Sig's mouth twitched.
Good art, art is just hooliganism. Zhang Allen thought of old George, old Carl, old Jack, and even Madison, these rich old men.
What market is not a market?
It’s easier to make money from old men.
After thinking about it, he looked at the box of videotapes and said to the staff generously, "One hundred thousand dollars, I can buy this batch of goods, you can pack it up now."
He then said to the Beggars' Sect disciple next to him, "Go find someone to identify the quality movies in there, pick them out and organize them, I can use them."
"Well, my boss is sick." Sig complained.
"If you say one more word, I'll torture you like the black sheriff who tortured the female bounty hunter in the movie!" Zhang Ailun raised his middle finger viciously. You're itching for trouble, right? You dare to kick your boss.
Sig immediately became obedient.
"I will buy these 100 tons of high-quality electronic scrap at the market price of $6. Together with the batch of discs, the total is $16. Are you sure there are tons of goods here?" Zhang Ailun asked the staff while looking at the pile of garbage.
"There are too many to weigh carefully, so let's just calculate it as 100 tons."
The staff member said: "The quantity is more than enough. I will only sell it to you at a lower price because I have signed a contract with your company."
"It costs money for us to deal with this garbage. The daily salary for employees alone is tens of thousands of dollars. The factory machinery and equipment, water and electricity costs, and car rental fees all cost money," Zhang Ailun said unhappily.
Although it is profitable, the competition is also very fierce. The previous owner of Parker was ruined by malicious competition. Without some strength, it will be difficult to do any business.
"Then load the goods. Lei Ke, pay them." Zhang Ailun waved his hand and asked the outsourced driver next to him to drive the garbage truck over. Then he moved a stool and sat next to them, watching them transport the electronic waste to the truck.
The Beggars' Sect disciples take turns to be responsible for professional pornographic film appraisal.
The film and the story make people feel hot and excited, but it is only like this at the beginning. After a while, they become numb and feel nothing. They are aesthetically fatigued.
Even if the actress was a popular porn star in the last century, tall and hot, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and played various roles such as Catwoman, Alien, Supergirl, etc., and Butterfly was also very beautiful, it was still numb to them.
Playing at 12 times the speed, several people took turns to appreciate it, and finally picked out the best videos of popular porn stars from hundreds of videotapes. By the time they came out of the room, they felt that their energy had been drained and they were not feeling well.
"Boss, they are all here. There are 12 out-of-print films and 9 regular films. They are all the old man's favorite themes of Once Upon a Time in the West, as well as alien science fiction, aliens, royal aristocrats, finance and workplaces. They will definitely like them!" The Beggar Gang disciples handed the carefully selected films to the chief leader.
"Go back and soak some fish maw and eat some sea cucumbers to replenish your body." Zhang Ailun patted them on the shoulders, praised them, and took out another 200 US dollars as a bonus and gave it to them, everyone got a share.
My Beggars' Sect disciples are so talented that they can be used in all kinds of professions.
Anyway, the leader has no interest in screening the videos, that would be a waste of time.
The Beggars' Sect disciples smiled happily after receiving the money. They instantly felt full of energy and restored their vitality. They could even continue to appraise pornographic films without blinking an eye.
At the construction site on the other side, with the help of site-excavators and professional sites, one hundred tons of electronic waste were quickly loaded onto the truck.
Seeing that he had finished what was happening here, Zhang Ailun simply said goodbye to Lei Ke, took the discs and videotapes, and led his men away from the construction site.
After getting in the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Sig drove to Los Angeles. During the drive, he took out his cell phone and sent a message to George Sr., Carl Sr. and others.
Zhang Ailun: Do you want a good little movie? If you want it, I can sell it to you cheaply. It's an out-of-print Hollywood blockbuster, the original disc, with a popular porn star, and I'll sell it to you for $8.
Old men: ???
No, are you robbing money?
Old George: What's so expensive?
Zhang Ailun: There are many kinds of movies, such as Once Upon a Time in the West, Royal Dispute, Wall Street, and Alien. They are all out-of-print movies from the last century. They are no longer available on the market. You can buy dinosaur fossils, but you can never buy this out-of-print boutique movie!
Old Jack sneered: "I don't believe it. I won't buy it."
Zhang Ailun: I knew you couldn’t afford it, you poor old bastard. Do you think I’m selling it to you?
Old Jack: ...? What do you mean?
Old Carl: Eighty thousand dollars? I can even support a high school girl with that much money! When did you switch to selling pornographic videos?
Zhang Ailun: The price can be negotiated. If you haven't seen it, I can send you a disc and you can make a decision after you watch it. This is a work of art! Don't look at art with vulgar eyes! There have been pornographic films worth $12 sold at auction.
Old George: If it is an out-of-print film of Kelly, I might consider it for $10,000. After all, someone has asked me before if I have such a collection, and I think there should be many people who would like to collect it.
Allen Zhang: Deal! What kind of movie do you want?
Old George: ...
No, you really have it?
Seeing that a deal had been concluded, Zhang Ailun nodded in satisfaction, thinking that this thing would not lack sales.
I pushed it to Madison again, asked about his current situation, and asked him if he was interested and wanted to buy the disc.
Madison: Mr. King, did you hear about what happened on my island? Oh! It was a disaster! Those damn CIAs ruined my party. Luckily you left early and were not affected by them, otherwise if I invite you over next time, you will definitely ask me if there are CIAs in my house. They ruined my reputation and innocence! But don't worry too much, I have already paid for a lawyer, and I will find someone to help me vent my anger and make them feel uncomfortable for a while!
Madison: By the way, what did you say you were going to sell?
Zhang Ailun: I spent a lot of money to get a batch of out-of-print Hollywood films from the last century, including Playboy and products from other film and television companies. I thought you might be interested in collecting them.
Madison: You have this? I love it! Hahahaha!! But I don't like those porn stars, after all, I can't touch them, I like its unique nature! If they were still alive, I could even invite them over to watch the movie and recreate the scene. It's so cool to think about it. I'll buy as many of these fine movies as you have! How about $50,000 a copy?
Zhang Ailun: ok!
It has to be you, Madison, you are indeed a great collector.
They charge everything and don't bargain.
It's simply an upgraded version of Senior Old George.
But are you serious about inviting the actress herself?
Even if you're still alive, you're already an old baby. I'm really worried that you might kill someone.
After chatting with the other party for a few more sentences, they agreed to mail the film to him when the time comes. Zhang Ailun also left a remittance account with the other party and easily secured the deal.
Sig also drove back to the streets of Los Angeles.
Zhang Ailun got off the car halfway, drove Sig away, sat in the driver's seat, and let them arrange their own work and find things to do.
Afterwards, they drove to the Armed Nation to inspect Jennifer and Irene's work and give them their arms sales dividends and bonuses.
It wasn't because the chief leader was irritated by the female non-commissioned officer and the videotape.
