146: Liberty City
Woo woo woo woo
At noon the next day, an international flight carrying five people flew to the other side of the distant ocean.
Lin Yao sat on the plane and looked at the white clouds outside the window.
This is not his first time abroad, but he is now burdened with heavier than before.
It took sixteen hours, and the next morning, the plane arrived in New York.
They will transfer here to Florida, a coastal city called Liberty City.
This is a medium-sized city with a very superior geographical location, adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean in the south and directly to Europe in the east.
More importantly, there is a CIA-European Intelligence Branch here, and the person in charge of this branch is CIA's deputy director, Mr. Pino, partner of Tazhai.
"Welcome Mr. Lin Yao!!"
Lin Yao and his group got off the train and soon noticed that there was a young man holding a sign standing in front of the platform.
He looked twenty-four or fifteen years old, wearing military uniform, looking back and forth at pedestrians, obviously looking for something.
"May I ask, are you Eddie Alex?"
Lin Yao took the initiative to lead people up and stretched out his right hand: "I am Lin Yao."
"I'm glad to see you. I'm Mr. Pino's nephew, you can call me Eddie."
Eddie has a typical Western face, yellow hair, a high nose, fair skin, and a very tall figure.
The two shook hands briefly, and soon Lin Yao and his five-member party followed Eddie into a black six-seater Mercedes-Benz business car.
"Are you Mr. Pino's nephew?" Lin Yao sat in the passenger seat and spoke to Eddie.
Eddie nodded slightly and replied while driving, "Yes, Mr. Pino is my uncle."
"Where are you serving?"
Lin Yao was not very clear about Mei Lijian's military organization, and he could not tell Eddie's origin from his uniform.
But he could see that Eddie was a small officer, and the ellipse on his uniform seemed to have the rank of captain.
Don’t underestimate the captain. In the military system, the captain is already a subordinate commander. He is placed as a company-level officer in the Tang Dynasty. It is probably the same here.
Eddie looks like he is twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and he says he has just graduated from college and he will never have more than two years of graduation.
Now he is the captain, and he has the support of Mr. Pino behind him. He will definitely be promoted to major before the thirty. As long as he does not make any mistakes halfway, he can still be a general before the age of fifty. He is a complete military star.
“I served in the Coast Guard, responsible for Area C34, and was the commander of a trust class speedboat.”
"By the way, the c34 area is the sea area in front of Liberty City. From the port of Liberty City to the high seas, it is my jurisdiction. I have a speedboat, four patrol boats, and dozens of people under my command."
As soon as Eddie mentioned his identity, Lin Yao's eyes lit up.
Liberty City is really right. Not only is Mr. Pino's base camp, but he also cannot be poured into the water he runs.
I believe that in the city, there should be a large number of people who support him.
"When will I see Mr. Pino?" Lin Yao asked.
Eddie was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "You don't have to see Mr. Pino. I am his full agent. If you have any problems, we can negotiate. If the problem is serious, I will ask for instructions from you."
Lin Yao felt a chill in his heart. Sure enough, it was not that easy to see Mr. Pino.
After all, he is only one of the person in charge of Tazhai, not the person in charge.
Uncle Dong is here, and he is still a little bit short of meeting Mr. Pino.
"My uncle has a noble status and doesn't like to put himself in a humiliated position. You can regard me as my uncle's white glove. If you have something to do, we will discuss it. Unless you can achieve certain results, you won't see him."
Eddie smiled at Lin Yao and added: "Don't feel neglected. People like my uncle will not end easily. You should understand this kind of difficulty."
Being in a high position has too many auras, and every move also represents too many meanings.
Therefore, big people like to train agents to come forward for themselves. If they encounter problems, they can also push the agents to take the blame, so that they will not harm themselves.
This method is universally used all over the world.
Zhao Ruilong is not in this case because he did not work in politics and was a businessman, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to see him.
"We're here!"
The car drove for half an hour and stopped in front of a villa with sea views.
"Where is this?" Lin Yao walked out of the car, looked at the dream villa facing the sea and blooming in spring, and asked, "Is your home?"
"Of course not. This is my friend's house, a very good friend. I occasionally come to stay for a few days. You don't think I have money to buy such a villa. Don't joke. This villa is worth at least 3 million US dollars, and I can't even afford the rent."
Eddie bit his friend very heavily. When he thought of the banter smile on his face, it was not difficult to guess the origin of this villa.
Legally speaking, this villa is definitely not Eddie's, otherwise the IRS would not be able to spare him.
But in fact, Eddie is the owner of this villa. He enjoys the ability to dominate the villa and just hangs it in someone else's name.
It seems that the gameplay in the world is almost the same.
There are also many officials in Tang Guozhong who do not have real estate under their names. The real estate is all on the seventh aunt and eighth aunt, or simply on their friends.
Legally speaking, they are very honest. As for whether they are truly honest, they have to check it out carefully.
"Come in and see how my friend's house is."
Eddie greeted Lin Yao and his party and entered his so-called friend's home.
The interior is very luxuriously decorated. The Austrian pure handmade wool carpet on the ground can't be put outside for more than 100,000 US dollars.
The home appliances and furniture inside are full of the atmosphere of the future. They all use intelligent voice control. From the intensity of the light, color, and to the flushing system of the toilet, nothing is manual.
"What is the 21st century? The 21st century is when you lie on the sofa and can command all the appliances in the room, and even the glass windows are adjustable."
"Next, I'm going to ask my friend to press the turntable under the villa."
"If you want to see the sea, the house will face the sea. If you want to see the sunset, the house will face the sunset."
"You don't have to walk a step, lie on the sofa in the living room, and with one order, the house can adjust its angle and orientation by itself. This is the ultimate enjoyment."
Eddie lay on the sofa, shaking the red wine in her hand, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Lin Yao was stunned when he heard it. This is life, but he didn't know how long it could last for a life built on the attic in the sky.
"I plan to build a factory here. I have a technology and sales network. You and your uncle have transportation channels. If you build the factory in Liberty City, your business will definitely flourish."
"What are my benefits?"
Eddie changed into a serious look, her eyes full of greed.
"You and your uncle enjoy 30% of our dividends!" Lin Yao replied truthfully.
Eddie shook his head without thinking and replied: "That's my uncle, who enjoys 30% of your bonus. He will not share the cake with me. I want my share."
Lin Yao frowned and asked, "How much do you want?"
"Yizheng, I'm not greedy." Eddie made a gesture.
This time Lin Yao shook his head and said negatively: "You are not worth the price."
"I am the maritime commander of the C34 area. I can guarantee that your cargo will enter the high seas safely until Europe. Whenever necessary, my ship can even help you transport the cargo!"
Lin Yao thought seriously for a moment, but still shook his head: "It's still not enough."
With the escort of Mr. Pino of Cia, he could transport goods to Europe without the help of the Coast Guard.
Eddie wanted to participate, and he welcomed her, but he couldn't help but be cut and bleed because Eddie was not qualified.
"How much can you pay?" Eddie made a concession, knowing that the initiative was not with him.
Lin Yao touched his chin and thought for a while, and replied: "I think the annual toll of 30 million US dollars can reflect my sincerity."
"Too few, are you sending the beggar?" Eddie was displeased.
"Fifty million!" Lin Yao gave another number.
"One hundred million, you can get my friendship." Eddie refused to let go.
Lin Yao looked unpredictable and said, "You are too greedy, I am all friends!"
"You don't like it?" Eddie asked back.
Chapter completed!
