Chapter 295 Torch Clippers
Seeing Jimmy and his gang coming in with the leader, the female clerk stopped taking selfies with her phone and said with a smile, "Dear gentlemen, welcome to the Eagle Gun Shop. You all look like tough guys. What kind of guns would you like to pick up in this shop? I personally recommend this Victor submachine gun! It's very convenient to carry with you whether you're going to get off work or shopping in the supermarket!"
Listen, what are you talking about.
You can wear it on your way to work or shopping in the supermarket, and that's only in Texas.
The female clerk took out a Victor from under the counter, lifted her hair, and said sweetly, "If you place an order of more than $2000 at a time, our store can also give you free target shooting service!"
Target shooting service? This gun shop is too informal, isn't it?
Teacher, does your free target practice service include one-on-one gun control instruction?
You don't say it, you really don't say it, the Beggar Gang disciples looking at her curvy breasts and long legs in black stockings also want to try their marksmanship!
"This thing is a woman's gun. Give me a better one." Jimmy laughed.
Zhang Ailun looked at him speechlessly, "I prefer to use this gun. Am I also a woman?"
"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."
Jimmy immediately straightened his attitude and said seriously: "I think Victor is still a very classic light submachine gun. A real man should use Victor."
Jimmy, how did you become so smooth?
Seeing that the female clerk was still looking for guns suitable for the tough guys, Jimmy said directly: "Don't look for it, we are here to take over the store. From today on, you have to call us boss."
When the female clerk heard this, she immediately became alert and her attitude changed drastically. "Are you here to cause trouble? And you want me to call you boss? Why didn't you say you wanted to rob all the shops? Do you know who owns our Flying Eagle Gun Store? Get out of here right now, or I'll call the police!"
Jimmy didn't bother to say anything more to her, and just slammed the contract on the table, "Why are you so arrogant? Take a look at this contract! Be careful or I'll fire you."
The female clerk picked up the contract doubtfully, took a look at it, and was a little surprised. She immediately took out her mobile phone and called the contact person. After asking about the situation, her face changed instantly and she walked out from the backstage.
He hugged Jimmy's arm and dribbled the ball into him, "Mr. Jin, I'm sorry, I didn't know the gun store had been transferred. Don't fire me, if you like, just fire me."
“……”Is this something you can say?
Jimmy also took a breath and stammered, "I'm not Mr. Jin, the one next to you is."
"You look so stupid that you don't look like my boss!"
The female clerk cursed at him and immediately let go of him. She turned around and ran into the arms of the chief leader, dribbling the ball and bumping into him, saying pitifully: "Boss, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. Please don't fire me! I have a paralyzed husband, a sick mother and an adopted child to support at home."
"Don't worry, I'm not an unreasonable person. Are you married?" Zhang Ailun looked at her in surprise. You couldn't tell, she looked to be in her early twenties.
The female clerk sighed, "I was too young and got married on impulse. My husband got drunk and got into a conflict with someone on the street. He was shot in the head, but he was lucky enough not to die. He has become a vegetable. I can only take on the responsibility of taking care of him."
"Why don't you get a divorce?" Sig couldn't help asking. I didn't expect her to be so responsible? You can't judge a person by his appearance.
"Because the government provides a $600 subsidy to poor families every month, and I only have to pay $200 for the IV to take care of him. His family in Chicago also gives me money every month." The female clerk looked at Sig as if he were an idiot.
"..." Sig was speechless.
Oh, that's okay.
Zhang Ailun checked the facilities of the gun shop and went up to the second floor, where he found a bed. The safe was empty, and the computer also had the website of the opportunity network and recent transactions.
The female clerk accompanied him throughout the whole process, introduced him enthusiastically, and gave the chief the highest emotional value. "Boss, you have a great figure."
Sig and Jimmy tactfully went downstairs to wait.
"How much do you earn every month working here?" Zhang Ailun checked the order transactions of the Flying Eagle Gun Store and asked, "Are there any other employees?"
"Yes, I and three other female employees work in shifts, each working 8 hours a day. The gun shop is open 24 hours a day, and the hourly wage is $20. We get $3200 a month in salary, plus additional commissions. For every gun sale, the previous bosses would give us a commission of . The more guns we sell, the higher our salary! When business is good, two teams on the street will make an appointment to fight in the suburbs, and we will sell them guns. The most we have earned in a month is $14000!"
The female clerk said proudly: "Boss, you definitely made the right choice by keeping me!"
"You are indeed excellent. Starting today, I can pay you $25 an hour. If you perform well, I can raise it to $30 or even $35. I also have a gun store in Los Angeles, and my employees once did a large arms deal and earned $20 in dividends in one go." Zhang Ailun said with a smile.
“Two hundred thousand dollars!?”
The female clerk was in disbelief and became very excited. She grabbed the chief's clothes and said, "Boss, are you serious? Are you really going to raise my hourly wage to $25? Or even $30?"
"I have always treated my employees very well. Even if they work at a recycling station, they can get a salary of $200 a day." Zhang Ailun smiled faintly: "Some people even drive luxury cars and live in apartments they bought themselves."
"Fxxk! I simply can't express my admiration and respect for you in words. It's a pity that I don't have a very high academic degree, otherwise I would definitely write a million-word poem to praise you. Compared to you, my former boss is simply Grandet! I will work with you for the rest of my life!" The female clerk excitedly hugged the chief.
Without waiting for the chief leader to speak, she immediately ran over and closed the door and locked it.
Afraid that such a generous sponsor would slip away from his hands.
"Boss, I feel a little uncomfortable. Can you help me check it out?" The female clerk lifted her hair and slowly unbuttoned her clothes.
The chief thought about it and felt that he really needed to improve the relationship between the boss and the employees and deepen their understanding. He readily nodded and agreed, waving his hand, "Come here, I'll help you check it."
"What's your name?" Zhang Ailun asked.
The female clerk squatted down and smiled charmingly: “My name is Evelin, boss.”
"What a good name!! Hiss..."
Soon the theme song of the pay-per-view program was heard in the room.
An hour passed and Zhang Ailun came downstairs refreshed.
Evelin leaned against him with intoxicated eyes, saying sweet words, “You are simply the best boss I have ever met. No one can compare to you in that aspect.”
"Including your husband?"
"He can't even move..."
"I'm sorry, I'm such a beast." Zhang Ailun reflected on himself.
"You don't have to apologize to anyone, boss!"
"Work hard."
Zhang Ailun slapped her buttocks with a snap. Then he squeezed a handful of collagen.
Evelin said with a smile, “Dear boss, what about what you promised me?” “I always keep my word.” Zhang Ailun smiled.
"Jimmy."
Zhang Ailun called over the Beggars' Sect disciples and Jimmy who were smoking and chatting outside, pointed at Evelin and said, "You have to help me take care of this store in the future. I will also send someone to help with arms sales later."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jin, I will definitely help you solve it." Jimmy patted his chest and assured.
"If you have any questions, you can talk to Sig. He is the head of the Armed Nation of the Human Torch." After saying this, Zhang Ailan said goodbye to Evelyn and left the streets of the city.
I spent some more time visiting two other Flying Eagle Gun Store locations, and also issued them certificates, which were recognized by the store clerks.
A male shop assistant?
That's fine.
The chief leader was a little disappointed and was thinking about firing them. He was not used to working with them because they were not his own people.
Even if they are not the Beggars' Sect disciples with the best background, they must at least be Jimmy's men, and then he can give them dividends when he makes money.
After leaving the suburban base of the two Flying Eagle Gun Stores, they called over several people including Boktu in the suburbs and asked them to drive a Black Hawk helicopter over.
"Mr. Jin. See you next time." Jimmy and his group waved goodbye.
"Goodbye, Jimmy." Zhang Ailun waved his hand, landed on the Black Hawk, and flew away.
The chief leader did not take the initiative to ask the other party for the balance of the guns, after all, he had given such a big gift.
However, while driving, I still received a reminder of a payment from Armed Nation.
Zhang Ailun saw that the remittance came from Jimmy's car rental company, and couldn't help but sigh, this guy really knows how to do things. He is a bit reckless, but he is also meticulous and can do great things!
Jimmy was also full of emotion, and boasted to his younger brother: "Look! This is what a truly capable person should do! Mr. Jin was able to go from being a homeless man picking up trash on the street to a billionaire. I, Jimmy, will also become a billionaire in the future! I want to buy an armed helicopter too!"
It was already around dawn when we returned to Green Field Manor in the suburbs of Los Angeles on a Black Hawk helicopter.
Zhang Ailun got off the plane and shamelessly called old Carl, "Hello? Are you asleep? If you're not asleep, wake up and be happy!"
"It's already 3 o'clock in the morning! My personal therapist told me that I must go to bed before 12 o'clock so that I can spend my billions in savings in my lifetime!" Old Carl couldn't help but curse.
Then he changed the subject: "But how do you know that my old bones are still awake at this time? Hahaha! Only a fool would listen to a physical therapist and a private doctor! I paid them, so they have to follow my arrangements! The party I hosted at the ranch has just ended, and happy hour is about to begin again!"
Zhang Ailun didn't expect this old man to be so weird. He slept later than him at his age. He advised: "You'd better not easily believe those bullshit longevity drugs recommended by private doctors!"
"Of course I won't listen to their bullshit! One injection costs 50 to 300 million US dollars. This is simply going to kill me!" Old Carl cursed.
Zhang Ailun was also relieved about this.
At least for now, it seems that old Carl doesn't care about the so-called longevity. He would rather enjoy life while he can, hang out with some hot girls, and drink a few bottles of wine in the bar.
This is a habit, and it is difficult to change a person's habits. We'll talk about it later.
After chatting for a few more words, Old Carl immediately came over to meet him, "I have a surprise for you!"
"I've seen the surprise you mentioned." Zhang Ailun stood on his own estate, looking at the renovated villas, independent houses, cow sheds, and stables.
The other area was full of nodding machines and had been isolated. Turning back, I saw a few elks running out of the woods, shaking their heads and looking at this side.
The Beggars' Sect disciples stationed in the manor also came out upon hearing the noise, followed by several Labrador puppies.
Seeing the Black Hawk helicopter landing on the ranch, they were also suspicious, thinking that some army had made an emergency landing here. But when they saw the familiar chief and Sig, they breathed a sigh of relief and greeted them warmly.
"Boss, why are you here at this time?"
"What? Do I need to say hello in advance before I go back to my own home?" Zhang Ailun smiled and said, "There was a problem with the schedule. We just came from Texas to deal with some things. Is this the pet that Old Carl sent?"
The chief leader looked at the shiny and smooth-furred Labrador puppies, bent down and picked one up from the ground. The little guy was hung in the air by the neck, and was so scared that he screamed and almost peed his pants.
"How can you help me protect the ranch with this kind of courage?" Zhang Ailun was amused.
"It's still young, but it will grow up in a few months. Mr. Carl also has professional dog trainers who can help us train these hunting dogs." The Beggar Gang disciple explained.
Zhang Ailun nodded and let go of the Labrador cub in his hand.
"Mr. Carl also sent you 20 pairs of male and female elk, 20 pairs of North American gray rabbits and 4 pairs of red foxes. In addition, we gave you two retired quarter horses with racing bloodlines purchased from the 'Golden Ranch' in Texas." The Beggar Gang disciple explained, and then took the leader to the stable. When they opened the door, they saw two tall brown horses sleeping upright with their eyes closed.
One of the horses had a white spot on its forehead, as if it had opened its third eye, and the other horse had white hair on all four hooves.
"Do they have names?" Zhang Ailun also learned about the history of Texas horse racing and horse breeds. These two quarter horses are indeed retired horses, but it seems that they were retired normally and there were no injuries.
The reason they sleep standing up is simply because they distrust and worry about the unfamiliar environment. After a while, you will see them sleeping on their stomachs or even lying down.
"The one with white hair on her forehead is Torch. She has a bad temper. She participated in the private horse races held by the Texas Bonfire Club in 2021 and 2022, and won third and fourth place respectively. The one with white hooves is Clipper. She is a girl, six and a half years old. In terms of the lifespan of Quarter Horses, she can live to 25-30 years old. She is still in the adolescent stage, quite naughty, and has not been trained so maturely. She has only participated in two competitions, did not win any place, and does not listen to commands very much. She will not mature until she is at least ten years old."
"Good. Don't bother them."
Zhang Allen nodded, turned around and left the stable with satisfaction, "Have you hired a breeder to feed them? Use the best concentrated feed."
"Mr. Carl has arranged to hire professional breeders in the town to raise them." The Beggar Gang disciple replied.
Zhang Ailun nodded with satisfaction, and took people to visit the manor construction, including the lake fishing area, shooting range, air-raid shelter, and wireless network infrastructure.
We also saw red foxes and some North American gray rabbits in the forest. Almost every animal has a locator in its subcutaneous tissue, so it was not difficult to find them.
The team of 'wizards' previously recruited by the chief leader is also here. The girl who is good at voodoo and curses has changed her career to bless the chief leader's manor to get better and better.
