Chapter 128 Beast
Zhang Allen received the money and receipt from Old George, and his total assets have reached 29831 US dollars. It is so bulging that even the backpack can't fit it, and he is considering applying for a bank card.
After leaving the pawn shop, he drove the pickup truck back to the Qiaodong camp.
While waiting for the timer at the traffic light, Zhang Ailun saw a street artist band. He recognized the lead singer, Sandy, who had dyed azure hair, sat on a suitcase, and had a dog tied to her.
He leaned on the window and waved to the other party. The other party also noticed him, smiled and nodded to say hello.
Zhang Ailun didn't stop for long. When the red light turned green, he stepped on the accelerator and left the street.
Two blocks away from the camp, Jennifer sent him a message.
Jennifer: Those druggies from the camp next door came to see you and said they wanted to discuss something with you.
Zhang Ailun: What is their attitude?
Jennifer: They are fine. But I think they are not doing well, like they got beaten.
Zhang Ailun: I'll be right back.
In just a few minutes, we returned to the base camp in the bridge tunnel and parked the pickup truck on the side of the road.
After getting off the car, I saw a familiar figure appear in the camp. Jennifer was sitting under the awning of the RV, wearing a cool T-shirt and shorts, with her legs crossed, wearing sunglasses, and holding a magazine in her hand. There was also iced plum juice on the table next to her.
"Life is good, huh?"
She looks so relaxed, not like a homeless person, but more like someone on vacation in a motorhome. She has the lazy and lazy temperament of a white, rich and beautiful celebrity! Some people are really born beautiful.
It took Zhang Ailun a long time to recognize who in the crowd was Faith Modern.
They were all covered in bruises and were beaten so badly that even their mothers couldn't recognize them.
Faith Modern's legs were wrapped tightly like a mummy, and he was lying on a stretcher and had to be carried away. Even so, he never left Ye Zi's side for a moment.
Isn't this the leader of the No. 9 Bridge Cave Camp? Why is he so serious after not seeing him for a few days?
Faith Modern held a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, and felt a little drunk. He greeted with the only hand he could move, "Hey! Buddy! How are you doing recently?"
"That's great. Since I took over your territory, I've been making money every day. How about you? How are you doing now? I see you're not doing well."
Zhang Ailunpi didn't know why this guy came to his old rival for help after being beaten.
The two sides are clearly competitors, and their Beggars' Sect even robbed their territory a few days ago, but this guy didn't take it to heart at all. Is he so careless?
This is probably the pinnacle of tanking. West Coast fun guy.
"It's more than not good, I almost lost the chance to see you, man! Those Mexicans are simply not human beings. I negotiated business with them, but they played tricks on me. Not only did they rob my goods, they also relied on their large numbers to beat us up!" Faith immediately began to complain in a rap tone.
"Boss, we follow you and we get beaten every day." The white homeless man next to him pointed at the scar on his ear and said, "Look, I got my earrings pierced two days ago. They tore my earlobes because I lost a fight with them!"
"..."
Zhang Ailun watched them talking about their misery without any change in his mood. He even felt like laughing.
"What are you doing here? Faith Modern, although we are in the same line of business, you are not an honest man. You came to my territory without permission, so I have reason to beat you up again." Zhang Ailun had no sympathy for his miserable condition.
"Please! I can hardly walk in my current condition! How could I possibly cause trouble to you!" Faith Modern said bitterly, "I was originally a cripple, and now I am well again, but I broke a leg again, and I can only use a wheelchair for the next two months. Fortunately, I have painkillers and leaves to comfort me!"
"From what I know, you were the first to break the rules. You sold your low-quality ice on the street without the consent of the Mexicans, causing trouble for your peers. You deserved to be beaten by them. If it were me, I would definitely throw you into a blender and grind you into powder, and then use you to fertilize the farmland in the countryside!"
Zhang Ailun directly exposed his lies.
Seeing that playing the victim didn't work, Fei Si regained his serious look and said, "I want to do some business with you."
"No drugs."
Zhang Allen pulled up a chair and sat down.
Faith was silent for a few seconds, organizing his words, and then he said, "Hamburger Juan King, don't you want to occupy all the streets of the Fifth District and become the boss of the Fifth District scavengers?"
"You have annexed one of the well-known scavenger teams on the streets, crippled another, and the remaining ones are a bunch of short-tailed dogs living in unfinished buildings, and those small teams that only have a few streets under their control. Don't you want to take their territory as well?"
"I don't want to. My territory is already big enough." Zhang Ailun said against his will.
"No! Man, think about it! You will do it sooner or later! Because I have never misjudged people! Those homeless people who can't even get enough food and live on the streets all day have no way to resist your temptation. You don't do it now just because your income source does not entirely depend on the cans on the street. The ones who rely on the cans are the people under your command. You know clearly what kind of people they are and why they have fallen to this point. You just need to give them what they need and they will be willing to follow you." Faith said incisively.
Zhang Ailun raised his brows slightly.
Can you even guess what the chief leader is thinking?
This child must not be allowed to stay!!
"Let's get straight to the point! Skid Row is a small, shabby place, full of drug dealers, smugglers, prostitutes, scavengers, and all kinds of scum. You are the most powerful person I have ever met, and you are the most qualified and prestigious to unify the Fifth Street District. Because the rules you set are the most effective and can get the most support from others. You are not greedy, but you are also very greedy!"
Faith said: "The last one was Modern Brothers during our peak period. At that time, no one dared to say no to us when we walked on the street! But now we are done. I don't even have legs. But you still have hope."
"You want to use my hand to help you get revenge and teach those Mexicans a lesson? I wonder how much chips you can come up with? I only accept cash." Zhang Ailun said, not taking his flattery to heart.
"Don't be so quick to deny it. I know you don't want to commit a crime, so I won't approach you about some drug-related cooperation projects, but what about gold? No one in the world can refuse gold," said Faith.
"If you had gold, you wouldn't be staying in the bridge hole on the street." Zhang Ailun sneered.
"But what if I know where there is a batch of gold? At least $50,000 worth of goods." Faith said confidently.
Fifty thousand dollars worth of gold? Zhang Ailun fell into deep thought. Today's gold price is $71 per gram. That means the gold weighs 705 grams, equivalent to kilograms.
It turns out that the Golden Project is not literal.
"If it's someone in the bank, there's no need for you to say anything more." Zhang Ailun shook his head.
"No, do you know there is something called a discarded mobile phone? There is gold in the chip of the mobile phone, but a mobile phone can only extract grams of gold at most. A few years ago, there was a scavenger gang in San Francisco. They hoarded a batch of mobile phones and bought a second-hand filtering machine and chemical equipment. They successfully extracted gold worth $ from the discarded mobile phones!"
Fith said, "But before they could divide the loot, they were arrested by the police for causing a death. Now I have chemical instruments that can filter out the gold, and I also know where a batch of discarded mobile phones smuggled from the overseas second-hand market are stored. You should understand what I mean, right?"
"Are those mobile phones still usable?" Zhang Ailun asked. "They were still usable, but the ship responsible for the smuggling had an accident at the port, causing the containers to flip over and fall into the sea. When they were salvaged, they were no longer usable."
Feis said: "Now that batch of goods is sold at a low price, no one wants it, so it is stored in the warehouse in the port area. We just need to give some tips to the security personnel there, and then we can take the goods away."
"I see. Thank you for the information, Faith Morden! That shipment arrived just in time."
Zhang Ailun suddenly realized and felt happy.
It turns out that I have to open the blind boxes in the container at Luonan Airport Port! I am familiar with that place. There used to be warehouses and planes stored there.
Feismodon's expression froze, and he asked suspiciously, "What do you mean? I didn't tell you which warehouse the goods were in. Are you sure you can find those discarded mobile phones? Well, even if you can find the container and the mobile phones, how are you going to filter out the gold?"
"Don't you have the alchemical instruments and chemicals? This stuff isn't that difficult to handle. Just search online and you'll find tutorials everywhere. The last thing I lack is talent." Zhang Ailun looked at him with a smile.
"..."
Fei Si stared at him in a daze, and suddenly came to his senses. He couldn't help but curse: "I'm already in such a miserable situation, and you still want to rob me? Steal my chemical equipment?"
"Including your suburban cabin." Zhang Ailun added seriously.
Last time he thought it was a good place for Feng Shui. Look at you, you insist on giving it to me, it would be inappropriate for me not to accept it.
It’s not you…are you still a human being?
The people of Fez are numb.
My mentality is a bit broken.
I didn't expect that I came to you with all my heart, gave you money, business and warmth, but you turned around and wanted to kill me? And eat it all up yourself?
You can’t be a human being like this!
You don't have friends easily!!
"Mr. Jin! Boss! Please leave me some food."
Stop it, boss. I've given in to you. If I hadn't lost my legs, I would have almost kneeled on the ground and begged you to take me in. Please give me some food.
As the boss of the partnership, you have to step in when your brother is beaten by outsiders, right? If you keep doing nothing, isn't that just a pretext for not having a legitimate reason?
I have delivered all my food and wealth to you, and also found an excuse for you to march south. After you join the team, you will definitely be the core backbone of our Beggars' Sect, right?
Faith has basically planned it all out and is in control of everything. He can be said to be the smartest person on the West Coast!
But I didn't expect to meet someone who didn't play by the rules. He's such a beast! !
Zhang Allen waved his hand, "I don't take in drug addicts here."
"I quit!!"
After Faith finished speaking, he didn't even believe what he said. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's impossible for me to quit drugs. It's better to wait until I die. But I can at least provide you with technical support for alchemy! This is a technical job! In the future, you can give me the discarded circuit boards and mobile phones you pick up!"
Alchemical chemicals are poisonous.
Are you trying to fight poison with poison?
West Coast drug addict Ouyang Feng?
After careful consideration, Zhang Ailun felt that one should not be too cruel and like to have everything to himself, otherwise no one would be willing to play with them in the future.
Be virtuous and tolerant!
"Let me help you find trouble with the Mexicans. You have to take me to get that batch of goods first. I can provide you with manpower. If the batch of goods fails to produce gold worth $50,000, I will chop you into pieces and use you as fertilizer on the farmland! Do you understand?" Zhang Ailun said.
"OK!" Feis breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he achieved his goal. It was really tiring to negotiate cooperation with others in a lowly position.
He smiled and ordered a leaf. "Guys! How about we have a party tonight? How about celebrating our strong alliance?"
"Great!" The other brothers cheered.
Jennifer sneered and said, "There are only seven or eight of you, and you don't even have a gun. What kind of cooperation are you talking about? You have to recognize yourselves. You are just working for our boss! Just be honest!"
"I will rise sooner or later!" Feis said stubbornly.
"Oh, yeah, just like your mouth is always harder than your dick," Jennifer taunted.
Faith was so angry that she shivered, but she didn't dare to get angry. Why was this woman as prickly as a hedgehog?
Did I provoke you? Didn't I just tease you?
Or maybe it's the West Coast Rose. It's pretty and fun, but it's prickly.
It's evening.
The friends are back too.
Zhang Ailun also told everyone about this matter. They had little interest in the new partner, but when they heard about the golden project, they all perked up.
"There's no need to cooperate with them. I think we should just kick them out and do it ourselves."
"Can you trust what drug addicts say? Simone's ex-boyfriend liked to take drugs and had a bad temper. Now he's dead."
"Let's report him and send him to jail for life. With Dave here, I don't believe we can't dig up some dirt on him. He should be sentenced to at least a hundred years in prison!"
Faith lay slumped on the stretcher listening to their devilish speech. The group of people were trembling, feeling pitiful, weak and helpless.
"Sieg, prepare the car. Let's get the goods first, and then go to the short-tailed dogs' territory to talk to them."
After the discussion, Zhang Ailun decided to keep Fez and quickly retrieve the discarded mobile phones, and then negotiate the territory issue in a friendly manner with the Mexicans.
Sig led the Beggars' Sect disciples to prepare guns and ammunition, and got into the car with Zhang Ailun.
Faith, who was in charge of leading the way, was carried into the car and said stubbornly, "It's agreed that I will take you to get the goods, and you must make those Mexicans pay the price! The Modern Family is definitely not someone you can easily mess with!"
"Get out of here." Sig glanced at him. "Is there a place for you here, you poisonous insect?"
After the last lesson, Feis didn't dare to be stubborn this time when he was living under the man's roof, and ran to the back obediently.
A group of people drove to the southern port of Luo according to the map navigation. After getting off the car, they found that the place was full of containers and large storage warehouses.
"Which warehouse is the one that contains the goods?"
