Chapter 81 Why practice martial arts if you don't have money?
"What a rare guest! Please come in."
As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. The other party was carrying a lot of bags. Although Du Ruo was wondering why this woman came over, he still showed all the courtesy and welcomed her into the house.
My mother came out and saw Li Yu. She seemed to recognize him. She washed some fruit, said hello and went to the neighbor's house next door.
It's not a good idea to ask now if there is something wrong, not to mention that the things Li Yu brought were supplements for Du Ruo's parents.
"Li...Li Yu, are you here for something?"
Du Ruo didn't say too much politely. After all, they had only met once. After handing over a cup of tea, Du Ruo spoke directly.
"Well, I came here this time because I want to discuss a business with Mr. Du."
While Li Yu was speaking, she brushed her hair to reveal her ears and smooth neck. At the same time, she no longer straightened her back like she did during the blind date, but instead supported herself on the sofa with one hand to make her figure more prominent.
"Oh, please go ahead."
Du Ruo looked at the other person with a smile and motioned for him to continue. He had to admit that this woman might not be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but she was the one who could best show her charm.
It's a pity that such charm is useless to Du Ruo. After practicing martial arts, Du Ruo's temperament has become much calmer and his will has become stronger. Du Ruo is completely unmoved by the beauty in front of him, especially when he knows a woman like this, it is best not to get involved in any ambiguous relationship with her, otherwise it will be difficult to get away.
"I have a client who has run into some problems. I would like to ask Mr. Du for help. At least five million."
Seeing that Du Ruo was unmoved and didn't even have any extra expression on his face, Li Yu simply spoke directly, and stretched out a hand and waved it in front of Du Ruo while speaking.
"Oh, five million? There are probably plenty of people willing to commit murder and arson. But I'm sorry, I'm just a nobody in the countryside. I won't do anything illegal."
Du Ruo picked up the teacup and took a sip before answering, not caring that the tea was hot.
To be honest, Du Ruo was moved when she heard the number five million. Five million, if she had five million, many problems in life would be easily solved. When she looked up, the girls around her would become much prettier.
It's a pity that Du Ruo has his own bottom line. Let alone killing and arson, Du Ruo would not do it even if it was to attack innocent people. To practice martial arts, one must first cultivate morality. Morality always comes before practicing martial arts. Once a person does something wrong, even his boxing strength may not be strong.
"Mr. Du, you are joking. A small person doesn't have this ability."
As Li Yu spoke, he took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from the small bag beside him and placed it in front of Du Ruo. He bent down and unfolded the handkerchief, revealing the coffee cup fragments crushed by Du Ruo. Then he continued:
"Don't worry, Boss Du. Although this job does involve murder and arson, they are not done in China. The people there are from the Filipino monkeys. Moreover, they are not good people. Mr. Du may even regard them as monkeys." Du Ruo frowned and said nothing. He was just thinking in his heart whether he could make his bottom line more flexible. After all, what the other party said was right. Du Ruo's bottom line was that he was in this land and was dealing with his compatriots. As for those who were not of his kind, he would naturally not include them.
"Excuse me…"
Du Ruo wanted to refuse again. After all, times have changed. Du Ruo knew a little about the recent problems of the Philippine monkeys.
It's not a big place, but it's very chaotic. All kinds of kidnappers and contraband dealers are entrenched there. It's not a big place with 81 provinces, but there are more than 200 family forces. It can be said that the chaos and polarization are extremely serious.
Firearms are extremely common in places like this, and it is extremely risky for Du Ruo. It is not worth the risk for the five million.
"Mr. Du, don't be in a hurry to refuse. This is not a one-time deal. We in the financial industry deal with this kind of people a lot, and we know a lot of wealthy people. They often go abroad or have complicated competitive relationships, and often need security personnel or experts like you.
Mr. Yang this time is not one of the richest, but as long as Mr. Du makes his name known, those wealthy people will definitely not be stingy with money to treat you for the sake of their own lives.
To be honest, this is a great opportunity for both you and us. We will not take a cent from the compensation given to you by the rich, and we can even provide you with convenience. What we need is the relationship with these rich people."
Seeing that Du Ruo wanted to refuse, Li Yu knew that he had to say something useful, and the useful thing was naturally the benefits. People in finance believed in capital the most. If the benefits were not enough, they would increase the efforts. Almost no one could resist such temptation, so Li Yu leaned forward slightly and continued to increase the price, but his voice was a little lower:
"This Mr. Yang has a zoo in the Philippines that he wants to sell. There is a Bengal tiger in the zoo that bit someone and they are preparing to euthanize it. If Mr. Du agrees, then we can use our connections to ship this whole tiger bone in and give it to Mr. Du as a gift. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we will also give him 100,000 yuan for travel expenses."
Li Yu's success is definitely not just due to his good looks and figure, but also because he has a very subtle grasp of people's hearts.
After learning about Mr. Yang, she easily met Mr. Yang with the help of the video of Du Ruo in the cafe. She did not mention investment throughout the whole process, but instead praised Du Ruo's abilities to him.
She knew that Du Ruo needed a lot of medicinal wine to practice martial arts, and she also heard that tiger bone wine was the most effective for martial artists, so after arousing Old Yang's interest, she quoted a price. The zoo was fake, but it was not difficult to get monkeys in the Philippines. The difficulty lay in transporting them back legally.
Old Yang just happened to have this channel. After negotiating the conditions, she would use it to persuade Du Ruo. As long as Du Ruo agreed, she would make money on both ends. As for whether Du Ruo would be in danger or would die in the Philippines, that was none of her business.
If she fails, she won't lose anything, and she will have done a favor to Mr. Yang. If she succeeds, she can make a lot of money by working on it. Otherwise, why would she spare no effort?
"You don't need to say more."
Du Ruo waved his hand. These words made Li Yu feel cold in his heart. He felt that he had come here for nothing these few days. But Du Ruo immediately changed the subject:
"It doesn't matter whether it's tiger bone or not. I don't care about the money either. I just can't bear to see the Filipino monkeys so wantonly treating our people. Tell me how to deal with it. I'll take this mission."
Du Ruo's words were righteous, but he was thinking, "I'll ask Xiang Yuanyuan to take care of this tiger bone. At least it can be soaked in a few hundred kilograms of wine. Besides, I'm poor in literature but rich in martial arts. In simple terms, if you don't have money, what's the point of practicing martial arts? In this society, if you don't have money, you can't even buy good beef, not to mention that martial arts training is prone to injuries, and there are many ways to treat them."
