Chapter 3, Big Business
2 kilometers from the border, our group of 300 quietly approached the rendezvous point. The area was surrounded by tropical forests, with bottomless cliffs everywhere.
The boss said: "The northern company has its own methods. As long as we can deliver the goods to them, they will transport them overnight. The retention time in this city will not exceed 1 hour. Our danger lies in the trouble we might encounter when shipments come in from the south. Chang Lian, prepare firearms for the brothers." Chang Lian, a robust and indifferent giant, our armory chief, nodded: "All 54s and 47s, is that acceptable, boss?" The boss nodded: "The funds from the north have already entered our account. Everyone, get ready. Lao Fei will contact the southern boss to ensure everything is settled within 10 days, and then we will distribute the profits immediately. Keep a tight lid on things among the younger brothers, only bring trusted subordinates."
Of course, 20 tons; if this quantity were to be caught red-handed, it would be enough to execute all 4,000 employees in the entire company. Not to mention whether it can be safely brought in and handed over.
Damn, the first batch of goods has finally been shipped. The boss received the news and immediately started transporting the second batch of 15 tons. It will be done in two shipments, just to see if the first one was discovered. If it is discovered, we will cross the border immediately, and the first batch of goods will be considered a total loss.
We all nodded in agreement, as it is indeed true that our national consciousness as rogues is far superior to those damned traitors who have read books. Have you not heard of what an old fellow from ancient times said: those who are loyal are often the ones who kill pigs and dogs in the marketplace? That is us, although we do not kill pigs; we only occasionally chop down a few people
Damn it. We took a breath of cold air. 20 tons, and I, along with the books, can only sell about 2 or 3 tons a year (one person consumes 4 or 5 grams a day, which amounts to over 4 kilograms for a thousand people in a day, and at most 2 tons in a year). Damn it, the market in the mainland is indeed not something that our mere two or three cities can compare to
The leader let out a sigh of relief, exchanged a few words with the opposing leader, casually handed him a bag, and led the team away. Judging by the expression of the opposing leader, the bag surely contained some benefits.
Damn, I hadn't calculated it clearly at first, but now that I've thought it over, this one deal is enough for several years of income for our entire company. This is a pure gain of 400 million, no wonder the boss is unwilling to let it go
Indeed, this time we deployed 300 of the company's most capable brothers. Although I have only been the leader for less than a month, I was quite ruthless when I was the top dog in school, which is why I was brought in. The 20 individuals in this truck are the company's top experts. Although I am only 20 years old, I have been through a lot, standing at 180 centimeters tall, with a strong and robust physique, I do not appear to be any less imposing than they are.
After a leisurely 20 days, the boss summoned all of us—4 brothers and 10 senior brothers (only 5 of us, like me, manage the site; the others are responsible for vehicle modifications, bodyguard personnel, weapons for martial arts, and so on. Why modify vehicles? Do you think our goods can just be transported in pickup trucks from Myanmar and Thailand? If we don't install hidden compartments in the vehicles, they would have been seized by the border guards long ago). We see each other daily, so there’s nothing much to elaborate on. The boss directly addressed the main topic: "A representative from a large company in the north is looking for us. Their supply chain has been disrupted, and their contact was taken out by the Myanmar army. Goods from Russia are invading their market, and they are asking us to provide some supplies to help them out."
I called the old man far away in Shanghai to report on my situation, and then mentioned that I found some work to do at the company. He didn't mind; he knows my performance, and as long as I can support myself, that's enough. In the end, if I really can't make ends meet, I suppose his pension would be enough to get by. But I think I'm not that miserable, right? I didn't tell him the truth; if I mentioned that I might receive a bonus of 2 million by the end of the year, it would surely give him a heart attack. (As for my mother? She passed away long ago)
The second batch of goods has been safely loaded and shipped, and both parties have clearly breathed a sigh of relief. It takes less than 6 hours to travel from the border to our city (which is why it is such an important transit hub). Approximately 8 hours later, our company safely netted a profit of 400 million.
The boss glanced at Fat Brother: "I am well aware of how much inventory we have. However, they want 20 tons at 60 yuan per gram, which totals 20 tons. We do not have that much inventory; we only have about 300 jin."
The speed and decisiveness of the boss are exceptionally quick; we only receive word from him once the money is in hand
After being the boss for half a month, I have also started driving the new BMW. There is an additional 200,000 in my savings account, which is the pocket money given by the boss. The bonuses will only be distributed at the end of the year; surely they won't let me starve
Damn, the other party is really arrogant, with around 200 people, all armed with AK-47s. The long convoy is carrying our goods this time. It seems that Lao Fei has put in a lot of effort with their boss; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to deliver 20 tons of goods this close.
Fat Brother rubs his belly: "The world is in urgent need of help, this is normal. We shouldn't let the Russians profit even if we have money, right?"
Living carefree, I lead about 10 subordinates every day, all of whom are robust and burly, with faces full of flesh, carrying knives and daggers tucked into their belts. We lounge in this dance hall and linger in that beef joint. Why? To prevent troublemakers. If something happens, with a single call, 200 brothers will arrive immediately. If it truly gets out of hand, do you think we would leave the entire Qinghuo with over 4,000 professional subordinates just for fun? We are not afraid of the locals; we are wary of tourists from outside the region who are oblivious. These venues pay us money; why? Do they treat us as their ancestors? No, first, we do not cause trouble, and second, we suppress others when they do. I am quite clear about this.
On the third day, in a container truck heading towards the border, I touched a heavy, cold firearm for the first time in my life. What I was given was a Type 54. The long-faced man, whose expression was cold and indifferent, surprisingly wore a slight smile as he taught me how to use it. He said, "This thing is simple. You have decent arm strength, so don't use all your strength to control your aim. Your hand's power should be gentle enough. At the beginning, beginners often struggle with recoil control. Aim for the target's abdomen, and you can generally make a hole in their chest or head. Don't be afraid; if you really can't hit the target, you can still hinder their movement. Moreover, stray bullets are the most dangerous on the battlefield; you might just take one shot and blow their head off."
The results of the college entrance examination have been released, and they are quite good, scoring 230 points. Damn, some of those who focus on special skills didn't even score higher than me. They are arrogantly throwing banquets to celebrate and collecting red envelopes.
If having a special skill in being a rogue could count as a special talent, damn it, I might also be able to get into university. This is purely a complaint, so everyone, please don't take it seriously
Fat Brother continued, "Boss, how much goods do they want? If the quantity is not large, we can sell them our stock first."
The boss sat in the corner, nodding in approval: "Xiao Wei, don't be afraid. It's okay to use this for the first time. The reason I brought you out this time is to give you a good opportunity to train. It's not every day you get such a grand occasion. The company is deploying 300 capable brothers at once, just like when we were starting to conquer the world."
Damn it, being carefree without a care in the world. If it weren't for the brothers carrying firearms, even if we were caught now, we would only be suspected of illegal activities at most. We could easily claim it was something like illegal logging. Damn it, I should have known to carry an axe on each of us. At most, we would face a fine of 100,000, with no real danger involved
God knows, just at that moment, I went from joy to sorrow. While passing through a deep and bottomless mountain gorge, I slipped and tumbled down the temporarily not-so-steep slope. I vaguely heard a few low gasps from above. My head hit a few times, and I promptly lost consciousness.
I truly have gained new insights. Who says that certain industries in China are not as developed as those in Thailand? What I saw at those two beef farms was far more open than what I have seen on television about Thailand. Damn, those few women made me feel quite tempted. If it weren't for the fear of illness, I would have already asked my boss to make arrangements. Just look at the elderly tourists from the mainland crowded around, they are not afraid that seeing too much of this will one day lead to my name: withered.
Boss: "No matter how the books look, money that passes through our hands must not be untouched. Recently, the situation has become tense, so everyone should carefully select their underlings. Gather about 300 who are attentive, bold, and skilled, and come with me to take delivery. Damn it, people die for wealth. 400 million, we absolutely cannot let this slip by."
Touching the cold handle and the 10 magazines, I chuckled sinisterly and nodded to the boss. The boss also seemed quite pleased with my performance
The leader signaled the prearranged code. The silhouette of the other party slowly emerged. Damn, no wonder our scouts could take down two of those Vietnamese devils; just look at their physique—thin, frail, standing less than 160 centimeters tall, with dark skin, a typical Southeast Asian monkey. The first batch, 5 tons, was slowly being moved by horses towards the concealed area of our convoy, and both sides were quite tense. It wasn't the tension of the transaction; we had a long-standing relationship, and it had always been the case that once the goods arrived, the money would be transferred to their account, with no possibility of double-crossing.

What both sides were worried about was our border defense on this side. Their army was just sitting around doing nothing, a pile of garbage.
Damn it, everyone, including myself, has red eyes: "Do it. Those who fear death should not seek wealth"
Along the way, there were various types of vehicles, spaced 2 to 3 kilometers apart, and halfway through, we turned into a side road
Fei Ge said: "20 tons is not a problem. Recently, the southern regions have also requested to purchase some arms, which requires a large amount of cash. They quoted us 40 per gram. Although the people from the north are a bit ruthless, we can still make a profit. " (Once you are hooked, you have to buy it no matter how much it costs per gram; the most outrageous I've heard is that it sold for 400. No wonder some people with over 2 million in assets have consumed it all in two years, which is why Lao Fei said the prices in the north are lower.)
