Spanish Gang,
Dani sat in his boss chair, a cigar in his mouth, his eyes slightly closed, and the record player was playing Scarborough Fair.
When Dani first heard this song, he was amazed and loved it so much that he used his connections at the radio station to secretly burn a record.
“Bang bang bang~!”
There was a knock on the office door.
Dani frowned slightly.
He hated being disturbed at this time.
"Come in."
The office door opened and a man in his forties walked in. He was thin, had a long face, and wore a pair of glasses. He looked more like a teacher.
This man is Charles Simon, the new military commander of the Spanish Army.
Simon was about to speak when Dani waved his hand and told him to sit down and listen to the song first and talk after he finished it.
Simon sat obediently on the sofa and waited respectfully.
Two minutes later, when the song ended, Dani looked at Simon. Dani was actually not satisfied with the new strategist. Whether in managing the business or communicating with other people, Simon was far inferior to Burstein.
In the past, Burstein was his right-hand man, but now Simon is at most a capable errand boy. He has no problem ordering him around to do things, but he does not have the ability to support the overall situation.
There is no other way.
Burstein is dead.
After searching through all his men, Simon was the only one who was still useful, so he had to be promoted.
"Simon, how's the loan going?" Dani asked.
Simon immediately stood up and reported respectfully: "Boss, the loan has been arranged. Here is the check."
As he said this, he placed a cash check on the table with both hands.
Dani picked up the check and looked at it.
300,000 US dollars.
He had managed to scrape together this money with great difficulty. He mortgaged his stocks, investment bonds, and real estate, and almost emptied his family's savings to borrow such a large sum of money from the bank.
But as long as he succeeds this time, he believes that he will be able to make the money back soon.
"Simon, contact Colombia again and tell them that I'm ready to see when I can meet with General Gustavo," Dani ordered.
"Okay, boss. I'll contact them right away." Simon ran out quickly.
The last drug deal failed with heavy losses, 300,000 in cash was stolen, the goods were gone, Army Division Burstein was killed, and the confidant sent by General Gustavo was also killed, which offended the general.
General Gustavo sent someone to question him. After communicating with him for a long time, he roughly understood the whole situation. It should be another group of people who attacked them. Dani was very angry and sent people to investigate but found no clues.
Business must continue.
Dani communicated with General Gustavo several times, and the other party had just initially forgiven him. This time he planned to go to Colombia to meet General Gustavo in person, one to explain the matter clearly, and the other to deepen their friendship and continue purchasing goods.
He prepared this $300,000.
It is both compensation and payment.
Amidst all the bad news, there is one piece of good news: the price of cocoa powder has increased a lot recently.
The Spanish gang is the largest seller of cocoa powder, followed by the Irish and Mexicans. The Jewish gang does not sell drugs, and other small gangs do not have the ability to purchase in large quantities.
Now the Spanish market has run out of supply and the shipment volume has dropped drastically, making it impossible to find the powder on the market. The price has now roughly doubled.
Dani had calculated that as long as this business was successful and the goods were shipped over, he would be able to fill the previous warehouse gap in a short time and make a profit.
Simon returned a few hours later.
"Boss, we have already communicated with the Colombian side. General Gustavo will return to Bogota from the army in five days and will be able to see you then." Simon said.
Dani thought about it.
"Simon, book me a flight for the day after tomorrow."
Dani planned to go there two days in advance and wait for the general to return in Bogota, so as to appear more sincere.
"Boss, prepare to bring some guards so I can book the tickets together." Simon asked.
"Just bring one, it's useless to bring more."
General Gustavo was a powerful figure in Colombia, the third most important military official, with tens of thousands of troops under his command. If anyone wanted to harm him, it would be useless even if he brought the entire Spanish gang with him.
"I understand, boss."
Simon looked at his boss Dani and continued, "Boss, I have something to report to you. Cranston and Bechman have not come to settle accounts this month. I asked people and many people said they haven't seen them for a long time."
Cranston was the one who was investigating the casino robbery and suspected Hardy's gang. Later, he called his friend Beicherman and rushed directly into Hardy's residence. Unexpectedly, he was killed by Henry and others.
Dani vaguely recalled that he seemed to have asked him to investigate a member of the Jewish gang, but a drug robbery happened within two days. Dani immediately forgot about the incident, and he would have forgotten it if Simon hadn't mentioned it today.
In daily gang affairs, Dani is mainly responsible for the general direction and external affairs, such as interactions with congressmen and officials, etc., while the gang's internal affairs are mainly handed over to Burstein.
Burstein is dead.
There is some chaos within the gang right now.
No one paid attention when more than a dozen people were lost.
If Simon had not taken office and asked all departments to provide security, the disappearance of Cranston and Bechman would not have been discovered.
Dani frowned.
He was leaving for Colombia in three days, so this matter was the top priority.
He still has a lot of things to do before leaving.
There is simply no time to focus on anything else right now.
"Simon, send someone to investigate what happened between Cranston and Bechman, and report to me when you have the result," said Dani.
"I understand, boss."
The next day,
Simon sent someone to help Dani complete the procedures for going abroad, and then went to the airline to book two tickets to Colombia.
......
Hardy was fiddling with his guns in the gun room.
Ever since the security company took care of the gun possession procedures, Hardy has been frantically filling the underground gun warehouse with various guns.
Pistols, submachine guns, sniper rifles, shotguns, and even heavy machine guns, all the famous guns from World War II can be found here.
In addition, there are various lethal weapons such as grenades and explosives.
It is absolutely enough to form a reinforcement battalion.
Most of these weapons were purchased from Old Mike. It was a huge order. Old Mike even lost two teeth, but he gave Hardy and his team a very favorable price, and he could pay in installments.
Why.
Hardy has little money.
The only tens of thousands of dollars he had were used to support more than forty subordinates.
After this period of expansion,
The security company has 45 staff members.
At this point, Hardy felt that the number of people was enough, so he stopped recruiting new people and, after dividing the teams, began to conduct internal training to complete internal running-in as quickly as possible.
At this time, someone came to the gun room and said to Hardy respectfully, "Boss, Director Lanster wants you to go to the laboratory. He has something important to report to you."
Hardy put down his gun and came to the laboratory.
Lanster closed the door and said to Hardy, "I just received intelligence that the Spanish gang has helped Dani to go to Colombia and arrange the flight. The flight will be at 10 o'clock the day after tomorrow and will arrive at Bogota Airport at 9 o'clock in the evening."
"There was only one guard accompanying him."
Hardy's eyes narrowed and he touched his chin with his fingers.
The day before yesterday, they received intelligence that Hardy's loan would be coming soon, in the form of a cash check for $300,000.
We received intelligence yesterday that the Spanish gang contacted Colombia again. We don’t know the content, but we can guess that it was to arrange a meeting time.
Dani booked a flight today and will leave the day after tomorrow.
It's all already strung together.
This gave Hardy a complete picture of Dani's activities.
It all depends on what he does next.
Hardy smiled and looked at Lanster and said with a smile: "Lanster, the opportunity we have been waiting for has finally come."
"Are you ready to act?!"
"right!."
Hardy asked someone to call Henry and Matthew. "I have a very important mission for you. You will take a plane to Bogota, Colombia tomorrow. I have asked someone to buy the tickets."
Henry and Matthew nodded.
They had no idea what to do, yet accepted the task without hesitation.
This is the trust that is fostered between brothers.
Hardy then told the two of them all the information he had gathered, and finally said, "Dani is going to Colombia, and he should have the $300,000 cash check with him."
"Boss, what are you going to ask us to do?" Henry asked.
"You guys go to Columbia a day in advance and see if there's a chance to kill Dani and his bodyguards. It would be best if you could make them disappear without a trace and get the check back."
"If we can't do it quietly, then we'll just beat them both to death in the street."
