Chapter 264 Upgrade
The next morning.
Zhang Ailun woke up from the big bed in the luxurious villa, stretched, felt sore all over, and took a breath of cold air. God knows what he went through yesterday.
I will never indulge myself like this again!!
I got up and stretched my body to relieve my fatigue, then ran to the bathroom to wash up. I took out my cell phone and found that the foundation's project had received two new deposits of funds.
Watson Oil Company and Merlin Oil Company have also paid the balance.
+US$ million.
After taking a look at the daily intelligence, I found that the weight had been upgraded as expected.
After all, the leader's influence and wealth are no longer the same as before.
[Your private armed forces, wealth and influence are growing rapidly, and the intelligence weight has increased. The current intelligence weight level is B. The intelligence can be up to 3 + pieces of random daily life or business related activities per day. The scope includes military resource recovery, business activities, personal privacy, errand activities, gang transactions, etc.]
[Daily Intelligence: The Whale Auction will be held at 10:30 am. Parker Resource Recycling will auction serial number 17, but no one is interested. Serial number 24 is a dime. Collector Madison has been collecting this item. You may be able to establish a social relationship with the other party through it.]
[Daily Intelligence: Your capable general Zorro has invited an excellent retired killer colleague to come out of retirement. They are expected to help you solve your troubles and problems within 36 hours. A total of 30 people on the Lightning Board of Directors and the list may not be spared. You need to pay them a remuneration of $, or you can choose to increase part of the remuneration to recruit them.]
[Daily Intelligence: The Rolls-Royce Cullinan at Lao Pike's Auto Repair Shop has been repaired. You can choose to sell it or use it yourself. ]
[Daily Intelligence: Mike's Scrap Recycling Station where your partner Mark works is in trouble. His boss Mike has been accused by the police of privately modifying and stealing vehicles. He needs to face criminal prosecution, go to jail, and pay an expensive bail. He is now preparing to raise funds to run away. You may be able to invest in or acquire Mike's Scrap Recycling Station and the modified car sales shop in the suburbs.]
Mark's boss?
It's only been a short time, how come all my old friends are either closing down, going bankrupt, or running away?
Isn't this a good time to buy at the bottom, my good brother?
[Daily Intelligence: Your good friend, the actress Amanda, is going to invite you to her sisters' private party dance in the evening. There are exciting programs, and she has also invited her good friend Kate Dennings, who she met on the set. Details: Kate Dennings lost her phone while traveling, and is mad about her nude photos being exposed. Maybe you can help her.]
Who? Kat Dennings? Max from 2 Broke Girls?
Zhang Ailun still had some impression of her. After all, she had F-class big breasts, a human breast weapon.
After searching for recent hot headlines, I saw that the other party's private photos were exposed and the related topics have been removed from the shelves. It seems that this is not the first time such an incident has happened.
Many lsps left messages on the topic, discussing how a thief once stole her phone and exposed her nude photos and F-grade big breasts, and then she was noticed by the investors behind the scenes, and was given a lot of film jobs and even participated in the production of Marvel movies. This time, all of her photos were directly exposed. Will there be even more popular benefits next time?
Some people also accused the actress of using this as a marketing tactic. In the two years after her marriage, she had basically not been able to get any hit movies to shoot. In addition, she was already in her thirties and there were no suitable roles. Her married life was not happy either, so she also wanted to go into the adult industry.
Maybe he has set his eyes on some wealthy tycoon and is throwing him out to fish. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Hollywood.
Zhang Ailun couldn't help but sigh that it's really difficult to be a female star these days.
Without financial support, you won’t be popular even if you don’t sell any body parts.
[Daily Intelligence: Colson, a member of George's pawn shop gang, is planning to set up a trap for a wealthy man from Central Africa at a local cruise ship casino in Las Vegas, and buy his villa and collections at a low price, including a pocket watch from the richest victim of the Titanic, an antique from the Lioness of Gno in the ancient country of Elam in West Asia. He needs your help, and it is expected to bring you a dividend of about 1000 million US dollars afterwards.]
[Details: The pocket watch is a replica of a master craft, the luxury villa is rented, the Central African tycoon is a group of fraudsters who are wanted internationally with fake identities, and the cruise casino manager is in cahoots with them, but you can still get a minimum of $500 million in cruise casino revenue from it. If you can arrest the fake tycoon and give him to the real tycoon, you may be able to gain the recognition and favor of the Central African tycoon.]
Zhang Ailun: ???
The antique bureau is in the middle of the game?
I searched for the antique Lioness of Gno from the ancient West Asian country of Elam and found that this thing was said to have been made during the Mesopotamian civilization between 3000 and 2800 BC, when humans had just begun to invent the wheel.
The Gno Lioness is a very small and extremely rare white limestone statue, a lioness standing upright with her front paws clasped on her muscular chest and her head facing left. It was sold at a Sotheby's auction in New York in 2007 for $5720 million, equivalent to about RMB 4 million.
Damn, if this thing is real, Coulson, the LS, would really be rich.
But unfortunately, this is a fake. Even the rich are cheating.
If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
Zhang Allen had no intention of reminding Coulson. After all, he was the one who asked someone to set up the scheme, but he accidentally fell into the trap. Even if he reminded the other party, he probably wouldn't believe it. Fortunately, Old George should not be involved.
After getting dressed, he woke up Jennifer and the others who were still sleeping and asked them to get up and eat. When he went downstairs, he saw Sig running outside to exercise.
Dominic had also gotten up and was cooking in the kitchen. Zhang Ailun could already smell the wheat aroma of toasted bread and the flavor of bacon.
"Sieg, you got up really early today." Zhang Ailun greeted Sieg with a smile.
"Boss, when have I ever gotten up late?" Sig immediately retorted.
"I hope you can maintain this state every day." Zhang Ailun praised.
The chief leader was not in good condition. After being taken advantage of by several female fairies in turn, he felt a little weak. He took this opportunity to run next door and make himself a cup of kudzu root and honey water to replenish his energy and relieve his energy bar.
"The meal is ready. You can eat now." Dominic prepared breakfast and held the tray to inform everyone.
Olivia also went downstairs. She tidied her clothes, put on her shoes, picked up a piece of bread from the table, and pecked Zhang Allen on the face, "Honey, I'm going to work! See you later."
"Don't you need me to take you there?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"I have my own car." Olivia waved her hand, picked up her bag and left quickly.
"Ok. Be careful on the road."
Zhang Allen sat back at the dining table in the living room, waiting for Dominic to bring the bread and fried eggs to the table. Jennifer and Irene enjoyed their breakfast refreshed and chatted and laughed with Jesse.
After drinking a glass of milk and taking a few bites of breakfast, the chief was basically full. When Jennifer and the other girl finished their breakfast, he got up and drove his Wrangler out of the garage, picked up the two of them, and sent them to the Armed Nation to work.
"Dear, see you tonight!" Arriving at the Armed Nation store, the two beauties, one big and one small, kissed each other on the face and waved goodbye. "See you tonight." Zhang Ailun watched them enter the Armed Nation of Thunderbolt, feeling relieved, and drove off the street.
Passing the traffic light intersection, I saw the information about Mike's scrap recycling station in the intelligence, drove to the street to take a look, and indeed saw that the recycling station in the city was not open, so I immediately took out my mobile phone and contacted Mark.
The other party answered the call quickly.
"Hello? Mr. Jin, why are you here so early? Do you want to talk to me about something?"
"I passed by Mike's Scrap Recycling Station in the city and saw a transfer label outside. It was not open for business. What's going on? Is your boss running away because of something wrong?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"Have you noticed this? Yes, our boss did run into some trouble. A distributor who worked with us was arrested by the police. In order to avoid going to jail, he sold out the recycling station and modification shop that he had worked with before. The police charged those people with stealing vehicles and illegal modification. Now several modification shops in the suburbs have closed down, and even the fat guy across the street has been laid off and run away."
Mark said helplessly, "Our boss was also notified by the police last night and charged with these crimes. However, considering his good attitude in admitting guilt and the small amount of business he was involved in, he was given a lighter punishment. He was not arrested and taken to the police station for tea. He was only notified to pay a bail, otherwise he would face criminal prosecution and would have to go to jail."
"But the bail will require at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. Our boss simply doesn't have that much money. If he pays the money, all the wealth he has worked hard to accumulate in his life will be gone, and he simply can't bear to do that. Now our boss is preparing to flee by boat to avoid criminal responsibility. He sold his apartment and luxury car in the city overnight and exchanged them for cash. He also found a street loan company to incur a debt. Now there are only the recycling station in the city and the modification shop in the suburbs waiting for him to be dealt with." Mark said.
"You told me all this, aren't you afraid that I will report your boss for running away? If the police find out, they will definitely hunt him down as soon as possible." Zhang Ailun said in surprise.
What's wrong with these recycling station owners? They are all cut from the same cloth. When they run into trouble, they consider running away, and they also want to get free loans.
The Hornets boss did the same thing last time. He got some money from a loan company and then ran away.
"What does it have to do with me? I'm just an employee. He hasn't given me a raise in all these years. Even old Fury thinks so." Mark complained without any psychological burden: "If he hadn't paid off my salary, I swear I would have reported him immediately."
Old Furui was the old man in the suburban car shop. He was there the first two times when the leader went to the modification shop to buy a hiking RV and drove away the glider. He was also an old employee.
An old man in the family is like a treasure. The chief leader likes this kind of old baby who has a lot of experience, is strong, and asks for a low salary.
Old Jack doesn't count, he's a ruthless gangster, he's very expensive! He also likes to talk back to the leader.
But it is indeed useful.
"Then your boss is really unlucky to have two of you as employees. But you have worked for him for so many years, and he has not given you a raise. It shows that you are not that important in his mind. He is completely a Grandet! Not a wise leader."
Zhang Ailun joked: "Well, are you interested in working with me? I can buy your boss's assets, and the rest of the work will remain the same. You can still do your own work, and I won't influence you. It's just a change of boss."
"Are you interested? Then I can go inform my boss right now. Wait for me." Mark hung up the phone and ran to inform his boss.
After waiting for two minutes, the other party called Zhang Allen again. After the call was connected, Mark also said: "Our boss agreed to meet with you. You can go directly to the car cemetery in the suburbs. He is hiding in this hiding place now."
"Ok, I'll be there right away."
Zhang Ailun hung up the phone, stepped on the accelerator, and drove to the car cemetery modification shop in the suburbs.
It took dozens of minutes to get to the car cemetery, and then I drove into a small road and parked on the side of the road. I sent a message to Mark, and after waiting for a while, I saw him coming over with the two bulldogs. He waved and said hello dejectedly, still unkempt, with a scruffy beard and a sloppy look.
"Dude, can't you clean up your appearance? You look like you've been smoking all day." Zhang Ailun complained after getting out of the car.
Mark waved his hand nonchalantly, "Life is full of disappointments, and I'm not looking for a girlfriend. I'm going to devote myself to modifying cars for the rest of my life."
Zhang Ailun looked at the two bulldogs again. The two dogs still remembered him and came over wagging their tails.
He smiled and said, "Are these two dogs for sale?"
"I'm not a dog, how do I know if they are happy to follow you?"
Mark said, "But it seems that they like you very much. If you buy the repair shop and the modification shop, they will of course be yours."
"Ok. Take me to see your boss." Zhang Ailun touched the dog's head, stood up and asked Mark to go meet the person.
Mark led the way with the dog and came to a tent built deep in the car cemetery. Hearing the barking of a dog outside, Old Fury reminded him, and a thin, unshaven middle-aged man came out of the simple tent.
After seeing Zhang Allen, he also greeted him enthusiastically and shook his hand. "Hello, Mr. Jin, you want to buy my assets, right? I have heard from Mark, and I have been paying attention to you. You are still very prestigious on the streets of District 5. I think you are a great person."
Seeing him living in such a shabby environment, Zhang Ailun couldn't help but exclaimed, "Man, why are you so miserable?"
"I can't help it. I haven't answered the police's calls for more than 6 hours. They require me to answer the phone every 2 hours and report the situation, but I was busy selling assets during this time and didn't have time to talk to them. They probably came to look for me. Maybe they are sending people to search for me on the street now. I can only hide in the garbage dump."
Boss Mike smiled bitterly, "Can you imagine? The day before yesterday, or even yesterday morning, I was a wealthy man with hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings, a happy family and a career. Now, not only am I burdened with a high bail debt, I'm wanted by the police, and I have to sell my property and run away."
"This is my wife and daughter. Hey, Ada, come and say hello to Mr. King!" Mike turned around and shouted, and a woman holding a child came out of the shed.
She had blonde hair and blue eyes, and still had charm, but you could also tell that she looked a little confused, her hair was messy, and her face was unwashed. But despite this, she still maintained a very enthusiastic attitude and greeted Zhang Ailun.
Zhang Ailun couldn't laugh anymore when he saw the situation his family of three was in.
I really don’t know which will come first, tomorrow or a cruel accident.
"Hello, little cutie." Zhang Ailun greeted the little girl and took out a lollipop like a magician. "What flavor do you like?"
"Sorry, sir, my daughter is still teething and can't eat anything too sweet." Boss Mike's wife Ada said apologetically.
"It's okay." Zhang Ailun smiled.
