Chapter 26 (1/2)

”Welcome, you must be Mr. Jiang Chen, the mysterious oriental friend.” As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Chen saw a white man with golden curly hair greeting him with a smile. He arched his hands with a gesture that he did not know which Chinese Kungfu movie he had learned.

Although he was white, Jiang Chen felt that Roberts's face was not much white, and his rough skin seemed to roll through the sand. However, the clean and tidy appearance and politeness can still make people feel respected.

”Nice to meet you. You must be Mr. Roberts. Mr. Bruce introduced you to me.” The expression on Jiang Chen's face is a little strange, but he still arched his hands with a smile to show his friendship.

To be honest, it's funny to see foreigners greeting with ”the gesture of Chinese greeting in the eyes of foreigners”. ”Bruce is a good guy. He used to block my shot in the Middle East. I'm glad to meet him here again. Ha ha, there is a Chinese saying: a friend's friend is my friend. Am I right? ” Roberts held out his hand

”that's right. Mr. Roberts' Chinese is amazing. ” Jiang Chen took Roberts' hand, shook it, and sighed heartily.

It should be right. Although Jiang Chen doesn't know whether that sentence is a proverb...

”ha ha, that's nature. I've always been interested in this mysterious oriental country. Business opportunities are everywhere. ” Roberts looked at Jiang Chen with bright eyes, and made an invitation gesture with a gentlemanly gesture, ”please come in, my friend. I happen to have a bottle of '82 Lafite. Ha ha, I've long wanted to try some fresh food. ”

”Well, obedience is better than respect.” Jiang Chen arched his hands.

Unlike the new wine in the villa, the blood red liquid has a mellow flavor. Even Jiang Chen, who can't get used to red wine, can't help admiring himself. It's really good wine!

The man standing on one side was as motionless as a wood, but Jiang Chen could feel the beast like breath coming from him. Although wearing sunglasses, the prominent frontal bone and high nose bridge of Slavic characteristics are still more obvious on the man's face, and his bear like temperament vaguely shows the nationality of his fighting race.

”My bodyguard, Nick Kaczynski, Belarusian. Hehe, we met in Ukraine. He's a good guy, too. He's in charge of my safety. ” Roberts noticed Jiang Chen's eyes, so he introduced to Jiang Chen with a smile, ”although Bruce is a good man, Blackwater international sometimes doesn't do well. They are too close to the FBI, so I changed my partner.”

Even when you hear talking about yourself, the sculptural bodyguard has no ups and downs.

”Are you doing something dangerous?” Jiang Chen leaned back on his chair and asked in a chatty tone, ”listen to Bruce, you are a famous middleman in America. Oil and gold? ”

”Yes. Because in addition to the relatively safe crude oil and gold, I sometimes have to get some ammunition and other things for my employer. Once these things are touched, it is inevitable that someone will want your life. ”

Roberts lit a cigar, and then politely handed it to Jiang Chen. ”Your country has strict control over firearms. It's a holiday paradise for me here. However, the good times are always short. For example, I have a flight to South Africa at three o'clock next, ”doesn't the time matter?” It's 11 o'clock.

”It doesn't matter,” Roberts smilingly waved his hand, and then sat up straight up. ”I'm very interested in Mr. Jiang Chen's business. I don't know if there's anything I can do for you?”

Jiang Chen Leng Leng Leng, shake the ash on the cigar, can not help but sit up.

”I hope you don't get me wrong, my friend. I just overheard your conversation with Bruce at the dinner party. It was purely accidental. But isn't business always born by chance? You know, I've always been interested in business in the Far East, but it's all in the exploratory stage... My intuition tells me that there must be something we can work with. ”

”Oh?” Instead of accusing him of eavesdropping on private conversations, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows with a slight interest, ”for example?”

”Mr. Jiang Chen's business should be settled with gold, but as far as I know, your country's laws and strict regulatory system will certainly attract the attention of the government. What's more, it's gold without invoices. ”

”It seems that Mr. Roberts knows a lot about our national conditions. But is there no problem selling gold in the United States? ” Jiang Chen smiles and says irrefutably.

”There are also problems, but we are talking about law, evidence and not governance. I have a very professional team to deal with this kind of trouble for me. Even though the FBI has a little bit of a conflict with me recently, I still haven't been arrested, have I? ” Roberts shook the ash from his cigar and gave a mysterious smile. ”I'll make an analogy about how to deal with it. I registered a shell company in Saudi Arabia. I got a lot of crude oil from Iran, and according to the embargo agreement, my action is illegal. However, if this crude oil is transported to my shell company in Saudi Arabia, it will not be long before the crude oil will be sold legally on the international market. ”You've told me all that. Aren't you afraid you'll be bugged?

But random Jiang Chen suddenly, must have such a strong bodyguard, for anti eavesdropping work can not do not in place.

Jiang Chen immediately understood what Mr. Roberts meant.

Feeling this middleman also has the business that deals with black goods specially, interesting.

”So it is possible for us to cooperate.” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

”I'm an honest businessman,” Roberts said, smiling with delight at the deal. ”I can eat any amount. Your gold will be legally available on the international market as long as you step into a process with my mining company in South Africa. Of course, you don't have to worry about the operation. You can sell me the gold directly. And I only charge% 9. ”

Jiang Chen thought for a moment.

%9 is not high, after all, his gold is no capital business. A small amount of money may be able to be eaten by ordinary gold shops, but if Jiang Chen really moves out more than ten tons of gold, I'm afraid no shop will dare to accept it. Even if sold in batches, the risk of being targeted is high. Moreover, the man named Liu Anshan always gives him a bad feeling. I'm afraid his hands are not very clean, but I can't feel the bottom before I don't have my own idea.

Be careful. Although it is suspected that a large amount of gold is smuggled out of China without permission, I believe Roberts has his channels to solve this problem.

At this time, when Roberts saw Jiang Chen's silence, he was somewhat uncertain. The handling fee of 9% might be a little high, but he didn't have any risks in doing this business. He is busy with the preparation of funds alone. If the transaction value exceeds 20 million dollars, he can't even sell all his assets. To make the business, he had to get in touch with acquaintances and find a way to get a private loan. The interest on the loan is not a small number.

However, if the amount of gold on Jiang Chen's hand is large enough, there is still a space for adjustment of service charge.

Just as Roberts was about to make a tentative offer to lower the price, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his mouth.

”No problem, but I have one condition.”

Jiang Chen's words made Roberts stunned, and then showed a happy expression.

”I can guarantee the quality of gold. It is a thousand gold, that is, 24K gold as you often say. I believe you have special talents to identify it.” Bullshit, can there be a fake in the bank vault? Fake, that's all for sale! (cough), ”but you have to be responsible for the transportation. I'm only responsible for transporting gold to some place in China. Also, gold and US dollar on-site delivery, after leaving, I am no longer responsible for the safety of gold. ”

”No problem! My friend. ” Roberts readily agreed, ”looks like my deal is done?”
