Chapter 242 Private Negotiation (4K)
Che Qicheng was panicking at first, but after seeing the actions of Zheng Zaizhong's men, he calmed down. At least this clearing of the scene was not the "clearing of the scene" that Che Qicheng often talked about.
He sighed in his heart and simply sat on the sofa, "Can I ask my question?"
Choi Doo-il winked at Jung Jae-joong, who understood and pulled the other North Korean defectors out. There were plenty of rooms to lock people up, and after making sure there was no problem, he nodded to Choi Doo-il.
However, Cui Dou Ri did not stop there. Instead, he smiled and said to Che Qicheng, "Che Qichengxi, you should not mind us searching your lower body, right?"
He patted the thigh of the person next to him, "You know how to search, go ahead."
Che Qicheng sighed slightly, looked at Cui Douri's men coming over, and took the initiative to hand over the knives and daggers on his body, there were a lot of them.
Cui Dou Ri smacked his lips. Che Qicheng had hidden quite a few things on his body that could kill people.
So force is still effective, Cui Dou Ri thought gloomily. If there weren't so many people supporting him, he might have been stabbed.
The office on the fourth floor of Jiangnan Security was still silent.
Although Che Qicheng's men were unwilling to accept their defeat and their eyes showed confusion, their guns were disarmed.
But Che Qicheng knew that Cui Dou Ri and his men had obviously grasped their movements, and there were no other exits around. With the firepower of the Kinmen Group, they should have been shot to pieces long ago according to common sense.
Now that their lives have been spared, it means there is still a chance for negotiation.
What they have to do now is to wait for Li You, chairman of the Kinmen Group, to arrive and see what Li You is trying to do.
Most of his subordinates are just soldiers who have no knowledge of the closed country and may just think that the president is just a company boss.
If he was just a company boss, Che Qicheng would be really lucky.
Choi Doo-il and Jung Jae-joong calculated the time, looked at each other, and there was determination in their eyes.
"It's almost time. I have to go meet the president," Choi Doo-il stood up and straightened his suit. "Che Qichengxi, please wait here for a while."
Cui Dou Ri arrived at the entrance of the Jiangnan Industrial building in advance. The people from Jiangnan Security and the gray industry at the entrance were clearly distinguished. From their posture and temperament, it could be seen that they were from that side.
He waved his hand, and his men hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes from their pockets, took out a cigarette from it and handed it to Cui Dou Ri with both hands.
Cui Douri raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Why did you change the cigarette?"
The people under him smiled flatteringly, "This is because we saw that Big Brother likes this brand, so we prepared it especially for you."
"." Cui Douri stared at him for two seconds and slowly shook his head, "You are wrong."
The man's face changed slightly. Seeing Cui Dou Ri holding a cigarette, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Cui Dou Ri light it up. "I saw that you usually carry two packs of cigarettes with you. You don't smoke that pack often, so I took the initiative to change the cigarettes."
Cui Douri nodded and said, "I don't smoke that pack of cigarettes very often, not because I don't like it, but because it's the brand the president likes."
He patted his attentive subordinate, with a smile on his face, "You are flattering the wrong person."
The subordinate stepped back awkwardly, secretly looking at Cui Dou Ri who was standing in front of him, feeling a little uneasy.
It seems that he did something wrong. Why not exchange the cigarettes back?
But he didn't know that Cui Dou Ri liked to smoke the cigarette just now.
At this moment, the crowd that was blocking the street made way like waves, and a few black cars stopped on the side of the road without appearing out of place.
Li You sat in the car without moving. Cui Dou Ri stepped on the cigarette that was thrown on the ground and trotted over to open the car door for Li You.
"President nim," Choi Doo-il said cheerfully, "Everyone is up there."
Li You nodded, and after getting out of the car, he patted Cui Douri's shoulder, "It can be seen that you and Jaejoong cooperated well."
"With Lao Zheng helping me to hold the stage," Cui Douri said with a smile, "I dare to sit in front of these special forces."
"Alright, alright," Li You waved his hand, "You're not a rookie anymore. I know you're capable of doing things."
Hundreds of people were looking at Li You in the field, waiting for his instructions. Cui Dou Ri stood behind Li You with a smile on his face.
"That's enough," Li You smiled and waved his hand, "There's no need for so many guns. Just go back when you need to."
"Yes, President Nim."
These people seemed to have received instructions. When Li You walked leisurely towards the door, the crowd parted like waves and watched him walk to the elevator door on the first floor.
Choi Doo-il followed Li You into the elevator with a smile on his face.
After the two men disappeared, the team leaders winked at their subordinates, and hundreds of people dispersed. These people got into the van, and the streets here became empty within a few minutes. The gathering of hundreds of people disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Have you been waiting down there for a while?"
In the elevator, Li You looked at the rising numbers and asked about Cui Douri.
"No," Cui Douri said truthfully, "I just went downstairs. I wanted to wait a little longer. I didn't expect the president to come so quickly."
"You have also met this group of people, what do you think?"
"I can't feel any details," Choi Do-il said frankly, "I just feel that it is indeed different from those of us who simply served in the military."
"They usually work until they die," Li You smiled, "which is naturally different from what we have here."
The elevator door opened automatically with a ding sound, and a gust of hot air rushed towards me.
It is summer now, and there are so many people crowded on the fourth floor, so the air is naturally quite stuffy.
Li You walked steadily, his black suit neatly fitted, his shadow stretched across the metal decorations on the wall, reflecting a barely perceptible majesty.
"President Nim!"
The voices rose and fell, rippling in his ears like waves. Li You nodded slightly and walked calmly through the neatly arranged desks.
Che Qicheng, who was sitting on the sofa, gently opened his eyes, with complicated emotions surging in his heart.
He knew that the real person in charge had arrived, so he turned his head and looked at Li You. He couldn't help but feel surprised, after all, Li You was too young.
Che Qicheng was confused and even thought that the person in front of him was just a second-generation.
Li You naturally also saw Che Qicheng's appearance. The forty-year-old Che Qicheng stood as straight as a pine tree even when sitting on the sofa, with a hint of seriousness on his face, which indeed revealed the temperament that Li You imagined.
Under his not-so-thick eyebrows, his eyes now looked somewhat cold, making his face, which should have been cold and hard, appear gloomy and making him look unapproachable.
Li You walked to the seat opposite Che Qicheng and looked at Che Qicheng with sharp eyes.
The surroundings were already very quiet, and the only people left in the office were Li You and Che Qicheng staring at each other, and the air was filled with tension.
Finally, Che Qicheng turned around, looked at the people around him, and put the box at his feet on the coffee table.
"Chairman Li," Cha Qicheng knew Li You's name, and of course he knew how to address him, "Can anyone in this room be trusted?"
Li You smiled and said, "Of course it's credible."
He pointed at Choi Doo-il on the left, and then at Jung Jae-joong on the right, "You may not know much about the Kinmen Group."
Li You did not explain to Che Qicheng, but pointed to the metal box on the table and said, "Now it's time to show your chips, Che Qicheng."
"I now have some understanding of the Kinmen Group," Che Qicheng looked around coldly at the people around him who were eyeing him covetously, "You are really amazing. A private...enterprise can actually show off its guns in the street."
"If you go to another place, it won't be like this," Li You smiled and shook his head, "This is Jiangnan."
"I know, Boss Cui Cui said so," Che Qicheng forced a smile. He looked at the metal box on the table and slowly reached out his hand.
"President nim," Zheng Zhong took a step forward. He felt that this action was a little dangerous.
Li You shook his head and motioned him to stand back, "No problem, Mr. Che is a man of his time."
The sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the air in the office seem frozen, as if it can sense the secret hidden inside.
Che Qicheng hesitated for a moment, his hand paused above the box, he took a deep breath, and silently entered the combination lock of the metal box.
With a slight "click" sound, the buckles on both sides opened, instantly breaking the tranquility of the space.
The secret hidden in the box was exposed to everyone.
Four exquisite copper blocks lay there quietly, with fine textures and a cool luster. Their surfaces were carved with intricate patterns, so delicate that one could almost feel the patterns just by looking at them.
Li You knew that this was the so-called papermaking copper plate. These copper plates were the key to making counterfeit US dollars, and every detail consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.
Che Qicheng's gaze slowly moved away from the copper plate. There was no fluctuation on his face, but the slightly tense jaw line revealed that he was still a little nervous inside.
He glanced at the crowd and found that most people didn't seem to know what this thing was. Che Qicheng's mouth corners slightly raised.
"It seems that President Li knows what this is," Che Qicheng looked at him, "I wonder how much this thing is worth to President Li?"
Rather than saying how much this thing is worth, it is better to say how many lives it is worth.
Li You knew very well that this thing was of great importance. Not to mention now...even in the future, Li You knew that he was absolutely no match for that behemoth. If he wanted to use this thing, he would probably have to wait until the end of time.
But he can use this thing to exchange for something more useful to him now, and that's enough.
It was not unexpected for Che Qicheng to come to Jiangnan Security along the way. Even the most meticulous planning required familiarity with this place.
He was a northerner who had just arrived here. He wanted to sell it through the underground channel, so naturally this was the only way he could go.
Even if Che Qicheng and his group wanted to smuggle away from the Korean Peninsula, the ship they took might be one owned by the Kinmen Group.
Li You sat upright on the sofa, looking at Che Qicheng in front of him with a strange look.
"Che Qicheng," Li You said with a smile, "We all know the interests involved in this thing, there is no need to talk about how much it is worth here."
Che Qicheng didn't mind at all, just smiled slightly, "Can't the Golden Gate Group take it?"
Li You still smiled and said, "The Kinmen Group can hide it, but they can't use it."
"Unlike the north, there's a giant above Japan and South Korea, but here is Seoul."
Che Qicheng sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm and gloomy, "Even if President Li uses it as a favor, it is worth enough."
In fact, after Che Qicheng and his team came to Seoul, they also found some problems.
Although they had snatched the four copper plates for papermaking from the north in a fit of rage, they did not have the other things and could not find them at all.
Not to mention printing money, even how to sell it is a problem.
Li You's smile faded, and he looked into Che Qicheng's eyes seriously and said, "Mr. Che finally hit the point. It seems that Mr. Che also knows that this thing is a hot potato in his hands. Do you want to pass this hot potato to me?"
Che Qicheng's expression suddenly changed, but soon calmed down, and his tone became cold, "I just want money, what else does it have to do with me?"
According to Che Qi's idea, he would first find a sucker to sell the items to, replenish the equipment, divert other people's attention to the sucker, and then snatch the items back.
But when we arrived in South Korea, we found that it was not the case at all and the plan immediately failed.
"Since we're talking about money, Mr. Che, there's no need to argue with me," Li You said calmly, "How much do you want, Mr. Che?"
Che Qicheng raised his eyebrows and said a number softly.
Perhaps because people nowadays have to bow their heads under someone's roof, the number Che Qicheng mentioned was neither big nor small, just a very average amount.
Li You smiled slightly, "This price is good, not too high."
He looked at Che Qicheng meaningfully and said jokingly, "Mr. Che, why don't you ask for more?"
Che Qicheng's expression froze, "President Li, there's no need to make sarcastic remarks."
"That's not just a sarcastic remark," Li You calculated for him, "We have to give some money to our brothers, and we have to buy weapons and equipment, otherwise we won't be able to survive the pursuit, and we also have to pay for daily expenses."
He raised his eyebrows. "For people like you who don't have an identity card, if you want to leave, you can only sneak across the border, and the smuggling fee is still very high."
"Calculating the amount, it seems to be about the same?"
Che Qicheng's face was stiff. "What does President Li want to say?"
"Why don't you stay and work with me?" Li You waved his hand, and followed An Shangjiu, who had been standing next to him, and opened the box in his hand. It was a full box of large-denomination Korean won.
"For me now, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
Li You smiled and said, "I know your identity, Colonel Che Qicheng."
Che Qicheng raised his head, his pupils shrank, "They."
He trembled slightly, and after a long while he shook his head and said coldly, "It is impossible for them to share information with you. How do you know my identity?"
"Your Kinmen Group also has people in the north?"
Li You looked at him calmly, "Mr. Che, you can guess."
Che Qicheng sneered, "You want us to work for you? Can you protect us?"
"Save you?"
Li You smiled and said, "I don't need you here. I just happen to be setting up a company abroad. When the time comes, you can establish yourself abroad and I will pay for it."
Happy National Day!
