Men can't save money.

Ruan Chengdong smiled and asked: "Are you interested in coming over to help me?"

Hu Pingtao did not make a decision immediately. He asked carefully: "Mr. Ruan, what kind of business are you doing?"

"In Chinese terms, it's a business of wearing your head in your belt." Ruan Chengdong did not explain, he looked calm: "But there is an advantage, the income is very high, at least ten times what you get in the casino."

Hu Pingtao couldn't help but widen his eyes and open his mouth slightly.

"...Ten...ten times?" He said the word with difficulty.

"Maybe twenty times, or even more." Ruan Chengdong felt that he had firmly grasped the heart of Hu Pingtao, that is, the idea of ​​​​this young fellow named "Chen Junming": "A Ming, we are all from Annan. To be honest,

If it weren't for money, who would be willing to leave their hometown and come to this place? Although I haven't known you for a long time, I think you are a very down-to-earth person. We will help you if you can and cooperate with each other!"

As he said that, Ruan Chengdong pretended to be casual and asked: "I see your actions when dealing cards in the casino and your usual walking. You must have been a soldier when you were in China, right?"

Hu Pingtao pretended to be ignorant and nodded: "I served as a militiaman."

Ruan Chengdong took out his cigarette case and threw one to Hu Pingtao: "Just a militiaman, not a member of the army?"

"It's been several years since I joined the army. It's hard to say whether I can come back." Hu Pingtao's answer was logical: "I don't know if Axia can wait that long...Besides, joining the army won't make much money, so it's boring."

This was not Ruan Chengdong's focus. He lit a cigarette with a lighter, signaled the bodyguard sitting next to him to light Hu Pingtao's cigarette, and asked with interest: "What kind of guns did you use when you were a militiaman?"

"Old Ak." Hu Pingtao didn't want to open his mouth to answer, and at the same time he gestured with his hands: "It's the kind with a bayonet."

Annan's army is mainly equipped with Russian-made AK-47, and at the same time, it imitates a large number of Type 56 submachine guns (Chinese version of AK-47) from its northern neighbors. On this basis, it has developed a series of gun families. Although the AK series of firearms have strong firepower, their accuracy and

It is difficult to choose shooting modes to meet combat needs. In addition, it is increasingly difficult to maintain these old firearms, and they are forced to start the design and production of new guns.

The old weapons that were eliminated have become a huge reserve force, which is also the daily training gun of the domestic militia system.

Ruan Chengdong still smiled and asked while smoking: "What kind of pistol do you like to use?"

"I have only used K54." Hu Pingtao's expression was a little shy, but also showed off a bit unique to young people: "I have been a militia captain, and only the captain can use pistols."

K54 is the name of the Annan people. It is actually the "Type 54" that was heavily equipped by neighboring countries in the north. Although Annan later imitated the K14 pistol based on the Type 54, the number was too small and could not be proportional to the old weapons.

When receiving special training in China, whether it is about firearms or imitating the living habits of the Annan people, you must memorize every word of the paper information and form an instinctive reaction in reality as soon as possible.

The police academy has special Annan type AK and K54. Hu Pingtao has fired thousands of rounds with these two guns. The purpose is to get familiar with and experience them.

Ruan Chengdong took a long puff of cigarette, and the cigarette butt burned and receded at a speed visible to the naked eye. He seemed to have had enough nicotine addiction, so he put the remaining cigarette on the ashtray bayonet and waved at the bodyguard sitting on the left.

With a look, the latter nodded knowingly, opened the leather bag slung across his body, took out a thick stack of banknotes, and placed it on the table.

It is the largest red-faced banknote from the neighboring country to the north, and its thickness is estimated to be approximately 50,000.

"If you are willing to work with me, just accept the money." Ruan Chengdong's smile was gentle and natural: "A Ming, your work in the casino is very hard. I'm afraid you won't make so much money in half a year."

Hu Pingtao was obviously moved.

The muscles on his face were twisting, and the corners of his eyes twitched several times. He instinctively reached for the pile of bills, but stopped midway.

"...Ruan Chengdong, this...is this one month's salary?" This is the question Hu Pingtao is most concerned about right now.

Ruan Chengdong smiled and shook his head: "To be precise, it should be two months, or three months. But as long as you work hard, I guarantee that you can get so much every month. Haha... I never set strict rules for everyone.

As for your monthly salary, I only look at your performance. Every time you do business, you get dividends, which are much more than your salary."

Hu Pingtao is a persistent person. He is eager to know the answer to the question: "How much is a dividend?"

The bodyguard sitting next to him coughed: "The last dividend I got was more than 50,000."

Hu Pingtao's eyes lit up: "One yuan per person?"

The bodyguard smiled sarcastically: "Dollar dollars."

Hu Pingtao trembled suddenly, his eyes showing unprecedented strong desire, mixed with unspeakable fear.

He thought for a moment, raised his right hand to his lips, made a smoking motion, and asked: "Mr. Ruan, is this the kind of business you do?"

Ruan Chengdong smiled: "I like to deal with smart people. If you are willing, the money is yours."

Hu Pingtao swallowed hard with his dry throat, as if he had made a life-or-death decision in his life.

He reached out and picked up the pile of banknotes. With an indescribable pleasure and strong desire to possess, he held it tightly in his hand and put it into his pocket... Perhaps feeling uneasy, he fastened the buttons and pressed them on the surface with his hand.

A few times.

Seeing this, the eyes of the two bodyguards began to soften, not as stiff as before, and most of the hostility in them disappeared, turning into a vague and non-existent alertness.

Ruan Chengdong smiled and picked up the opened red wine and poured a full glass for Hu Pingtao: "Come, come, let's drink to our understanding and cooperation."

…

After the meal, Hu Pingtao thanked Ruan Chengdong repeatedly and then said goodbye.

He must return to the casino to pack up his personal belongings and go to work at Ruan Chengdong's "company" as agreed tomorrow.

Looking at Hu Pingtao's back gradually disappearing in the darkness, the smile on Ruan Chengdong's face turned into mockery.

There is never any love without reason.

Although they are fellow villagers, Ruan Chengdong has no affection for Hu Pingtao at all.

A bodyguard came over and asked doubtfully: "Company commander, will he run away with the money?"

"Company Commander" is the nickname Ruan Chengdong often uses when working outside. He doesn't like the title "Boss".

In the eyes of Annan people, 50,000 yuan and 1 yuan per person is not a small amount.

Ruan Chengdong shook his head: "You have never been to Liran. It is a poor place. Although the money I gave him just now is large, it is not used, let alone marrying a wife and building a house."

Another bodyguard smiled and said: "The company commander is always very accurate in judging people. He can't be wrong."

Ruan Chengdong smiled faintly and did not answer.

The reason for recruiting Hu Pingtao was partly out of the blue, and at the same time forced by the situation... But no matter what, there was absolutely no thought of taking care of him because he was a fellow countryman.

There is a saying that goes like this: A fellow countryman, a shot in the back.

If the Wu Thanh Cheng Group is regarded as a country, then Ruan Chengdong's collective status is equivalent to that of a diplomat and minister of commerce.

He is responsible for the external sales of drugs.

Of course, there are many salespeople in the entire group, and there are more than a dozen expatriate groups like Ruan Chengdong, but judging from the results over the years, Ruan Chengdong's team has performed the best. Regardless of the annual sales volume of drugs or the purchased arms, within the group,

They all ranked first, and they were especially valued by Wu Qingcheng.

The drug trade in Lada is divided into the "open side" part and the black market.

The obvious part is very complicated, and it involves the mountainous forces of the northern Myanmar military. Not to mention harboring filth and evil, the local garrison turned a blind eye to the large-scale drug trade and took advantage of it. As long as they gave enough money,

Armed protection can even be provided during transactions.

It sounds incredible, but it's true.

The appetite of a greedy person is enlarged by being fed again and again.

Ruan Chengdong has dealt with military chiefs in northern Myanmar, and more and more money has been given out every time. It is also the red legal note of the northern neighbor. In the past, it only cost a few hundred thousand, but now there are millions of people who will not pay attention to you at all.

What's worse is that there are a large number of officers under the old military leader, all of whom are eyeing the money.

The existence of the black market must be hidden from the local garrison. Compared with open transactions, the profits of the black market are much greater, but the dangers are greater. Things happen from time to time, and even due to the leakage of the information, the third party will be attracted.

The coveters from the three parties will take it all.

Last month, Ruan Chengdong shipped a batch of goods, but because he leaked the news, he was kidnapped on the spot by a Burmese gang. They were outnumbered and killed four of their cronies, causing Ruan Chengdong to suffer heavy losses.

In order to ensure the safety of transactions, Ruan Chengdong never used outsiders in the past. He always recruited people from the mountainous areas occupied by the group and brought them out after training.

People always change.

The world is changing with each passing day, especially the series of changes brought about by smartphones, which are dizzying. While lamenting that he is "old", Ruan Chengdong is also quietly looking for a way out. He is no longer as stubborn as before, and turns to the outside world

Looking for new people to join the company.

Yes, company.

He registered a company in northern Myanmar and used this as a cover to conduct drug transactions secretly.

There will be several business deals next, but due to the losses last month, there is a shortage of manpower. Although Ruan Chengdong has contact with the group far away in the mountains, it is too late to temporarily send people from there, and it will also arouse the vigilance of the local garrison.

.

Hu Pingtao didn't find the correct answer to any of his previous guesses. The reason Ruan Chengdong invited him to dinner was just to make up for the lack of manpower.

Compared with those dirty and despicable Burmese people, "Chen Junming", an Annan man who works in a casino, is obviously more trustworthy.

According to the training requirements, Hu Pingtao's daily actions in the casino maintained some elements of a soldier.

Ruan Chengdong saw this and sent people to follow him and monitor him secretly.

Last night, the bodyguard who followed secretly witnessed all that. He admired Hu Pingtao's spicy fighting style. After the opponent left the dark street, the bodyguard saw two injured people lying on the ground and brought the news to them.

To Ruan Chengdong, this is why we have today’s dinner treat.

"Company commander, do you want to contact the mountain and ask them to send someone back to the country to investigate A Ming's details?" the bodyguard asked seriously.

Ruan Chengdong slowly shook his head: "It's too late. There will be a transaction the day after tomorrow. We are short of people now, so we can only use them first. As for checking...it must be checked, haha, let's see if there is such an opportunity in the future."

This has two meanings.
