"You're a grateful person, that's good." The triad leader nodded in satisfaction.
At 8:30, they arrived at the entrance of the Thousand Illusions Dance Hall.
Looking at this place, which was completely unlike any dance hall they had ever imagined, the leader of the Da Sha Gang snorted coldly, "A place that's neither fish nor fowl, and people actually come here to spend money?"
"That's not how it works." Chairman Li of the Co-Prosperity Association looked around the dance hall. "The business is so good, there must be something to it."
This place is so legitimate, yet its business is just as good as those dance halls where anyone can get involved in anything.
The Black Tiger Gang leader has good methods and foresight.
The triad leader nodded in agreement, "That's right. Although the Black Tiger Gang has its disagreements with us, we have to admit that they are indeed more farsighted than you and me."
The leader of the Tang Clan glanced at him.
When it comes to hypocrisy, the Triads are the real masters.
It's as if no one knows he's stirring things up.
The leader of the Great Sand Gang had a gloomy look in his eyes. "Foresight? Being able to last is what really matters."
His words were ambiguous and contained a hidden danger.
The triad boss smirked.
"Let's go, maybe they've already arrived." Chairman Li wasn't interested in these heated discussions; he just wanted to see Miss Yang, who was willing to pay double the price for the weapons.
That old bastard Perry said he was just an ordinary foreign businessman.
But someone told him that he was an agent of country E, and that the bearded men around him were also agents.
The purpose of concealing one's identity is to avoid being criticized for betraying one's benefactor after using them.
When Chairman Li learned of that old man's scheme, he was almost driven to his death with anger.
But they quickly calmed down and thought of ways to deal with it.
Just when they were at their wits' end, the Triad leader summoned them together and said that someone was planning to secretly buy the weapons as revenge against Perry.
This news was like rain after a long drought, arriving at just the right time.
If Perry wants to rip them off, then they shouldn't blame him for not adhering to the principles of employment.
I secretly sold the goods to him, making that old bastard lose out, and pocketed the money myself.
It was only 8:30. After entering the dance hall, they found a booth and sat down. The gang leader looked around but didn't see anyone.
"Where is he?" the leader of the Da Sha Gang asked impatiently.
The gang leader hurriedly said, "We agreed on nine o'clock, but it's not time yet."
It's not even nine o'clock yet, what's the rush?
The leader of the Da Sha Gang said impatiently, "Who doesn't arrive early to discuss business?"
President Li understood, saying, "She's a rich heiress, different from us."
As they were talking, several Western-looking men walked straight toward them, their waists bulging as if they were carrying weapons.
The henchmen who came with the gang leaders immediately became alert and looked at them warily.
"What are you doing, looking for trouble?" one of the men shouted.
All eyes were on the person walking over, and no one noticed the gang leader's face turn pale.
The gang leader touched the back of his neck, which was still slightly sore.
Yesterday, after he left the gang, he was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, he was tied up in an empty room, where a man asked him what he had talked about with Miss Yang yesterday.
He didn't want to say it, but the man pulled out a gun.
The gang leader admitted that he was afraid of dying.
To save his life, he told the truth.
I thought that person must be related to Miss Yang, otherwise he wouldn't be so curious about what they were talking about.
It wasn't a big deal, so he didn't tell his godfather.
Who knew that this person would bring several people with him to the dance hall today, looking like they were going to cause trouble.
"Don't be nervous." Jeff looked at his henchmen, who were as frightened as startled birds, and said with a smile, "I'm here to talk business with you too."
The leader of the Big Sand Gang asked in a low voice, "What is this white man mumbling in his tongue?"
Chairman Li can understand English. "He said he wanted to talk business with us."
It's business talk again.
What's been going on lately?
"Since we're here to discuss business, please have a seat," Chairman Li said, gesturing to the person opposite him.
Jeff sat down, while his companions stood or leaned around casually.
"What kind of business do you want to discuss with us?" Chairman Li glanced at his watch. "Twenty minutes."
For them, the most important thing right now is that arms deal.
Jeff didn't waste any words and said directly, "Sell me Perry's batch of weapons."
"ah?"
The members of the four major gangs looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is that batch of weapons really that sought after? Why does everyone want to get involved?
"Excuse me, I don't quite understand what you're saying..." Chairman Li's eyes darted around.
Jeff snorted. "Three times the price."
Their country, the US, is much richer than China. It's just a batch of weapons; if they want it, they can get it.
If it weren't for his good friend Ellie intercepting the information transmitted by Chinese agents via radio, they would never have known that Perry's arsenal contained valuable items.
And it's not just any ordinary good stuff.
E-country agents are just as cunning as Chinese agents. On the surface, they are smuggling a batch of military technology data to Vietnam, but in reality, they are transferring a batch of newly developed high-level air defense missile technology to E-country's military base in Southeast Asia.
This technology surpasses the level of country M, but has not yet been released to the world.
Chinese agents learned of this and wanted to acquire the technical data by purchasing weapons, so they could learn from the level of the other country.
The successful research of this technology is extremely detrimental to the current standoff between country M and country E.
After intercepting this information, Jeff immediately reported it to his superiors.
They also received orders to seize this technology before China could.
Jeff thought it over and over, and realized that since Chinese agents were planning to use this method to obtain the technology, he could do the same.
All it takes is a small amount of money, no casualties, and it won't attract the attention of E-country agents—what a bargain!
Perry probably never imagined that he would be betrayed by the four major gangs.
Jeff received praise from his friends when he proposed this idea.
"Oh my buddy, you're really smart. To use a Chinese term, you'd say you've learned and applied it effectively."
Thus, Jeff led his men to the dance hall to discuss business with the four major gangs.
When the price tripled, the leaders of the four major gangs were completely stunned by this surprise.
"Three...three times?" The gang leader looked dazed.
It turns out that there really are such good things as free lunches in the world.
Ms. Yang's offer of double the price had already surprised them, but triple the price left them completely bewildered.
Jeff nodded. "Yes, three times the price, how about it?"
"Deal." The leader of the Da Sha Gang immediately agreed the moment he finished speaking.
Anyone who disagrees with this price is a fool.
Chairman Li and the others remained silent, which was tantamount to them agreeing to the business deal.
"readily."
Jeff was very satisfied. "I'll transfer half the money to you first, and the other half will be credited to your account as soon as you deliver the goods to Mara Port."
