Chapter 222: Banking Job
Not long after, Old Jack drove back to the city, came to the Sanji Bar, and parked the car on the side of the road.
After entering the bar, I didn't do anything else. I went to the front desk and ordered two glasses of brandy to rinse my mouth.
Zhang Ailun came out of the office after hearing the news. Looking at old Jack, who had become refreshed after two glasses of brandy, he asked, "Have you settled the matter in the suburbs? What did you do to those black people?"
"What else can I do? If they want to blackmail me, they will have to bear the risk of failure. I just use practical actions to prove to them that they have messed with the wrong people."
Old Jack answered casually, "Don't worry, I didn't do anything. I just put them into sacks, dug a hole in a small forest and buried them half alive. After all, I'm an old man with half of my body buried in the ground. I just want to make some extra money before I retire, but I don't want to take lives in vain. Their lives are worthless, not worth it at all."
"I feel relieved that you think so." Zhang Ailun nodded, fearing that the old man would send someone to see God in an impulse.
He said hello to Mary and asked her to waive old Jack's drinks bill and it would be his treat.
"No need. Let's put things one thing at a time. Although I work for you, it's not that I can't afford the drinks." Old Jack waved his hand and took out $170 and put it on the table.
Seeing that he was determined to persist, Zhang Ailun said nothing more and admired him, "I like people like you who can clearly distinguish between public and private affairs and have ambitions. You can tell at a glance that you are going to do great things."
After arranging the affairs in the bar, Zhang Ailan prepared to take Old Jack to Razer Motobang in the suburbs to meet Sadie.
"Are there only two of us?" Old Jack followed the chief out of the door, a little confused, "Didn't you arrange for your people to come?"
"We are just going to meet and discuss business, so we don't need so many people. We can just treat it as if the elders of a friend's family invited us to visit."
Zhang Allen opened the door and got into the escort vehicle, then glanced at Old Jack's broken pickup truck and said, "It's more convenient to take my car."
"That's true, but it's better if he is older than me." Old Jack snorted and sat in the passenger seat.
Taking out his cell phone to search for navigation, Zhang Ailun started the car, drove out of the city, drove into the main road in the suburbs, and after driving for about a few dozen minutes, he arrived at the territory of Razer Motobang.
It was still a familiar scene, with graffiti. The chief stopped the car on the side of the road and called Sadie. After the call was connected, he said, "I and the Bowhead Whale's people are here. You should come out as soon as possible."
"I'll be right away."
After hanging up the phone, a minute later I saw Sadie coming out of the room.
She was wearing a red leather jacket, neat short hair, a black lace leather skirt, a pair of high-heeled leather boots, and her long legs in black stockings were longer than her life.
He walked to the escort vehicle, opened the door and got in. He looked at the chief helmsman and an elderly white man in the vehicle and was a little surprised. "Just the two of you? Who is from Bowhead Whale? This old man?"
"Hey! I advise you not to judge people by appearance, little girl." Old Jack was a little dissatisfied. "I have eaten more meals than you have walked. You must learn to respect your elders! Don't think that you can judge others casually just because you have a good appearance. Didn't Juanjin tell you that I am just a member of the Bowhead Whale, and the one sitting next to you is actually the real boss?"
"Are you the boss of the bowhead whales?" Sadie turned her head and looked at the chief, a little surprised.
"I'm not. Don't listen to his nonsense. We just worked together on a business in the same industry. I was only responsible for driving and transportation, and the only businesses I managed were the bar and the Ammu-Nation."
Zhang Ailun resolutely denied it, and told the truth.
The chief leader did not really participate in that cycle, he was just a driver.
After Sadie got in the car, she restarted it, adjusted the navigation on her phone, and drove in the direction of Palm Valley.
"Well, whether you are or not, it doesn't matter. I know you are not an honest person." Sadie shrugged her shoulders, not caring at all, and asked curiously: "Besides this business, have you done any other business before?"
"Didn't your rich dad tell you? We were the one who did the deal for the Star Casino in Little Rock. Bowhead whales are back in business! They are well-known in the industry."
Old Jack said calmly, "If the plan goes well, the Wells Fargo Bank robbery in Palmdale will definitely cause a bigger sensation than the one in Little Rock! Many people in the circle want to make an offer to earn this money, but only a few teams can be selected. Don't even think about the news and the media. No one will take the initiative to buy hot searches for such a shady thing."
The news from Little Rock only appeared for half a day, and then there was no news.
Those who have the most information are those in the circle, underground and street forces.
This is actually a dividing line between the information sources that ordinary people can access.
"Was the bank robbery in Lancaster City also done by people from your circle?" Sadie asked doubtfully.
"I heard that it was done by some impulsive young people. They wanted to make a name for themselves in the circle, so they did that business. However, they did things without using their brains at all. They just bumped around like headless flies, so it was natural that they got this final result." Old Jack said with disdain.
He saw through the inside story of the circle twenty years ago, so he never did anything too risky.
"So, you were famous before?" Sadie became interested.
Seeing that she was interested in her past and resume, and pondering the possible relationship between her and the chief leader, Old Jack immediately felt relieved and started talking freely.
He dropped out of high school and started out as a street thief and a zero-dollar shopkeeper. At first, he suffered from a lack of skills and connections. He was a frequent visitor to the police station and was often arrested for questioning. But after accumulating enough experience, he also did a large order of tens of thousands of dollars alone! He also got out of it safely and made a name for himself in the circle.
Tens of thousands of dollars in the 1970s and 1980s were worth much more than they are now.
Until he and a few like-minded people formed the Bowhead Whale Group, his career reached its peak! Just as he was about to enter the 21st century, he also encountered a big order worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!
But even with a careful plan, I almost failed in the end.
"So, never cooperate with those bastards from the CIA or FBI. They are all untrustworthy bastards." Old Jack cursed.
Sadie nodded in agreement. "Those guys go back on their words. It's really annoying. They don't follow the rules at all. The positive image of the FBI only appears in movies."
Zhang Ailun remained calm and focused on driving.
I just think the story told by old Jack is quite interesting, but he must have embellished it. The real situation is definitely not as easy as he said. At least he was beaten up when he was caught by the police. He started doing business on the streets when he was 16 years old. He became famous and reached the peak of his life in his 30s. He met his girlfriend and got married in middle age. Then something went wrong, and he survived and retired. Now he is in his 60s and is still doing business outside!
"At least I would have retired by the time I was 60." Zhang Ailun laughed.
All I can say is that choice is more important than effort.
If you had met the chief leader earlier and stayed in the Beggars' Sect for two years, would you still be running around outside?
"What do you mean? Making fun of me?"
Old Jack was furious, thinking that he was mocking him. How could the matter of the gangsters be called a Waterloo?
The atmosphere in the car became cheerful, and we talked and laughed all the way. We drove to Palm Valley without any obstruction.
After entering the city, Sadie also pointed out the direction to the chief leader and arrived at the luxurious villa area in Palm Valley.
After parking the car on the side of the road, Old Jack got out and took a look at the luxurious single-family villa. He sighed, "It's worthy of being a place where rich people live. The house price here is at least over three million US dollars."
"Five million." Sadie said, "It was three million when I bought it, but it has appreciated in value now. Welcome to my home!"
The two were warmly invited into the villa and into the living room. The decoration design was also very tasteful. Who would have thought that there was a Filipino maid?
The chief leader looked at the maid with a good figure and asked, "So? Why didn't Sadie's father use a black maid?"
The craftsmanship of our ancestors has not been passed down.
Sadie asked the servants to serve tea and dessert to the two of them. After waiting for a while, she went upstairs to inform her father.
Old Jack sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, pointed to a painting on the wall and said, "I have some impression of this painting. It seems to have appeared at an auction. The auction price at that time was 32 US dollars. And that antique vase is worth at least 7800 US dollars."
Zhang Ailun was quite knowledgeable in this area. He could tell at a glance that the collections in this luxurious villa were definitely very expensive. There were several valuable items alone, which added up to several million dollars.
"Are you itching to do something?" He glanced at Old Jack and advised him to calm down. This was a visit to the employer's home, not a scout out the place.
Of course, Old Jack would never do such a stupid thing. He said with emotion, "I just miss an old friend of mine. If he were still alive, he would definitely be unable to walk when he saw these things. He would have found a way to get rid of them long ago."
"If you think the villa's security facilities are not good enough, you can come and try it." A middle-aged white man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking gentle and refined came down from upstairs and said half-jokingly.
Sadie followed him obediently.
When Zhang Ailun saw his employer coming downstairs, he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand. "Hello, you are Mr. Newman, the shareholder of Wells Fargo Bank and Sadie's father, right? I am the leader of this mission, you can call me Juanjin."
"Hello, Mr. Jin, I have heard about your business from Sadie. I am quite impressed with the ability of your bowhead whales. Our people have already contacted the person in charge of the casino in Little Rock and learned some inside information."
The rich man smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk. Please follow me."
He took the two of them to the private study in the villa, activated the secret door on the bookcase, opened a compartment, walked through the corridor, and came to the underground box.
Zhang Ailun didn't expect that there was another world inside and there was a secret door.
The rich man closed the door and invited the two to sit down.
He said gently, "There will be no risk if we talk here. But what I didn't expect was that the Bowhead Whale Organization was completely unorganized and scattered. Mr. Jack, I've heard of your name too. You were very famous in the last century! At the time, the CIA agents thought that the group of people who robbed the casino had mysteriously disappeared or even died."
Old Jack was speechless and said, "What else can those useless people do except robbing each other? But you are right. Bowhead whales are indeed dead in name only. Now I am the only one left."
"Oh? How do you plan to implement it specifically?" the rich man asked curiously.
"We have our own staffing and professional planning deployment, so you don't need to worry about that. You just need to tell us what help you can provide and what you want us to do."
Old Jack put on a professional attitude and pointed at the chief helmsman, "Mr. Jin can provide us with firepower and arrange drivers and gunners. He is the most reliable partner of our Bowhead Whale Organization."
"Wells Fargo Bank is still open for business these two days. I can only provide you with the shift change time for the bank employees and the security personnel's vacation. I can also provide you with the password of the vault. You only have fifteen minutes or even less to take away the $5000 million worth of gold in the vault! In fact, there are only $500 million in banknotes. You can take the money away directly at that time. During this period, no matter what you do in the bank, I will not pursue the loss."
"There will be a dance today and tomorrow. We will invite elites and celebrities from all walks of life in Palmdale to participate in the party, including the Palmdale Police Chief, Deputy Chief, Sheriff..." the rich man answered in detail.
"..."
Old Jack raised his eyebrows slightly, Damn, you guys are so dark-minded, 5000 million US dollars in gold?
How dare you say such a thing?
Poets Nest Eat!!
"If you do this, this business doesn't seem to have any challenge at all," said Old Jack.
"You should be very clear about our situation. We dare not take any risks at all. The challenge is left on the field, and we are racing against our own lives and time."
The rich man said, "We want a quick victory! We can spend money to deal with media opinions. We have already taken out 200 million US dollars for public relations, and announced that the stored gold will be converted into cash and provided to bank depositors for withdrawal. Our money escort vehicle will be robbed on the road! The 2000 million US dollars in cash will be robbed. Afterwards, we will also issue a statement saying that it was your Bowhead Whale Organization that robbed it, causing a total loss of 7000 million US dollars. This is a premeditated mission!"
"..."
Zhang Ailun also fell silent after hearing this.
Whether you should say it or not, you have to be a good person.
How can someone with a body temperature of 37 degrees say such cold words?
But with five million dollars to take the blame and the employer's cooperation in covering it up, this task is not difficult at all. It's a completely free business!
Anyway, this order was done by the gangster organization Bowhead Whale. What does it have to do with the leader?
"Ok, we'll take this business."
