Eighteen: Surprising changes
As soon as I left the airport lobby, the heat wave had already hit. The sky in Bangkok was not as clear as I imagined. A large group of so-called Thai beauties came up to offer flowers. The group members of the same group took photos with DCs and DVDs. Everyone was very interested in the first stop of the trip to Thailand and wanted to leave some memory. A classmate Ji Yabai, who was in charge of the shooting, was loudly carrying the DVDs and yelling at everyone's names. He also wanted to burn them into a disc.
Through communication on the plane, I already knew that Ji Yabai, the seven good male and female classmates, went out for a trip in the last semester. They were the e-city I arrived in a few days ago, and suddenly became popular, so I decided to travel to Thailand together. Needless to say, they were all those with very good family backgrounds.
Listening to her familiar accent, I wanted to ask her several times if she knew Bai Ling, but in the end she resisted the idea. But suddenly I felt a little melancholy in my heart. Can I see that stubborn and independent again in this life? I don’t know.
The local Thai tour guide who came to pick up the group was a strong young man. He greeted everyone in a slightly different Mandarin language to get on the bus. I helped Ji Yabai carry his luggage and take it to the bottom of the bus's bottom box. One of her female classmates walked to the side and smiled at Ji Yabai, "Xiaobai, you'll be hired so soon!" Ji Yabai beat her gently and turned to me and said embarrassedly: "Don't listen to them nonsense. These guys just like to joke." I smiled slightly and said, "It's okay! I was born with a long-term worker."
Ji Yabai smiled, suddenly took out the DC and said to me, "Thank you for your help today, why don't we take a photo!" I was stunned for a moment. I hadn't taken a photo for many years, let alone the current situation did not want to be photographed at all, but looking at her enthusiastic face, I didn't know how to refuse. So I nodded and said, "Okay!"
Ji Yabai asked a boy to take a photo. Then he leaned against me generously. I actually found myself a little nervous. After hesitating for a while, he reached out and gently hugged her slender waist. The boy smiled and said, "Oh, it's quite a good match!"
Ji Yabai took back the camera, looked at the image of us snuggling together on the LCD screen, and suddenly laughed, saying, "It's really a good match! The golden boy and the jade girl." I naturally knew that this was her joke, but I felt a little inexplicably warm. I was about to remind her not to post this photo to the Internet or something. At this time, Xiao Shijie, who had been calling after getting off the plane, came over and whispered to me: "I have contacted Acheng and the others, come and pick us up immediately."
I nodded and asked, "Don't you need to talk to the tour guide?" Xiao Shijie said, "No, we have already communicated. Let's go and do our business first. If time has time, we will catch up with the whereabouts of the tour group and play for a few days. It depends on the speed of the service."
After saying that, Xiao Shijie walked to the local tour guide and said, "I believe He Xiaoyu has told you about our affairs!" He Xiaoyu is our tour guide with all the accompanying tour guide. The Thai male guide nodded and said, "I just heard from her that you really want to act freely?" Xiao Shijie nodded with a smile, took out a thick stack of cash from his wallet, and handed it to him, "You can hold this money, it's your tip. There is only a lot!"
The male tour guide took a thick stack of money and gently looked at it in his hand, with a happy face. He said, "Okay, then you can do it yourself. If you have any questions, please contact me or He Xiaoyu at any time. We will call you to notify you every time we change places." Xiao Shijie nodded and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have been to Thailand many times, and many friends are here, so I won't get lost. When we finish our own business, we will come to you if we have time."
Thai tour guides have no salary, and their income is earned from tourists. Now, they will be more talkative when they receive the service fee given by Xiao Shijie directly. They laugh on their faces and keep saying ok. Xiao Shijie patted my shoulder and said, "Let's go and take a taxi over."
After walking two steps, I couldn't help but tap her shoulder when I passed by Ji Yabai who was laughing with her classmates. Ji Yabai turned his head and said, "Let's take a few more pictures, Along, you get in the car first!" I smiled faintly, explained, and waved to her and said goodbye. Ji Yabai opened his eyes wide and said, "Goodbye? What does it mean? Why don't you be with us?" I nodded gently and said, "Let's go next time!"
After saying that, I waved to her again and said goodbye. I turned around and chased Xiao Shijie. For some reason, at this moment, I was a little sad. I don’t know if it was because I felt the shadow of the white silk from her body. Or because I realized something at that time. Every woman in my life, long or short acquaintance, love, or short travel companion, may have been like this kind of quick fate and will never be seen again.
We exchanged some Thai baht at the airport bank, took an airport taxi, and rushed straight to the city. According to Xiao Shijie, the contact person of Tianxing Club here, Acheng, has contacted several of the top families in Thailand and Myanmar for us. The place we are going to now is Acheng's residence.
Bangkok is a big city with a population of 8 million. Compared with many modern cities in China, in addition to large modern buildings, there are also Thai-style buildings with unique shapes, which are bustling and noisy. Due to the humid and hot weather all year round, flowers bloom and colorful. Looking out the window along the way, it gives people a sense of dizziness. However, the traffic is very crowded, and various high- and middle-level vehicles and motorcycles whistle by. We walked along the Chao Phraya River, constantly encountering traffic jams and stopping. It took a long time to arrive at Sanpin Street where Acheng is located.
Sanpin Street is Thailand's Chinatown and is now a must-visit place for tourists. Just like what I saw in some Hong Kong and Taiwan gangster films when I was a teenager, the Chinatown there is very similar. The street is long and narrow, and there are everything on the stalls on the side of the road, from gold jewelry to kitchenware. Whether it is from the Chinese accents of pedestrians or various selling items, it makes people feel like they are in the large domestic flower and bird market.
Xiao Shijie obviously had been here many times, and was familiar with the road, so he took me through the crowd. He walked to the street and walked around an alley next to him. He pointed to a house on the second floor at the top of the alley and said, "Acheng and the others are here." After receiving the call, a young man who had been watching in front of the window stretched out his head and shouted to us: "Brother Jie, you are here!"
Xiao Shijie smiled and waved at him, saying to me: "I finally got it!"
The door opened and came out to greet two young men with black skin. Xiao Shijie pointed to a tall young man and introduced me, "This is Acheng." He smiled at another young man who had just greeted him at the window, "This is Acheng's cousin. He is Thai, with a long name, and I can't remember it. Usually, I just call him Kun Gang directly." Kun is a respectful word in Thai, I know this. Xiao Shijie introduced me to them again. Acheng shook hands and said, "Brother Long, I have long admired Daming. I have heard many brothers who have come to know about your deeds."
I smiled slightly and said, "It's Brother Jie who is good at leading the company, so I'll let my brother laugh." Acheng smiled and asked us to go upstairs, while Kun Gang quickly went to get us drinks.
"Where is Naibasong, when will it come?" Xiao Shijie was very anxious. He asked directly without even taking a sip of water.
Acheng said: "I called him in the morning. He said he was receiving a VIP and might have to come here later. But I don't think it's so fast. Why don't we have dinner first and go to his villa after dinner. This guy just found a beauty in Bangkok, and he has been stuck here for a long time. He hasn't returned to Chiang Mai." Xiao Shijie's expression suddenly faded and he cursed in a deep voice: "Damn, Naibasong clearly looks down on me. He is fucking me, aren't that the receptionist? "
Acheng choked and opened a can of Coke, handed it to Xiao Shijie, sighing: "There is no way. Recently, under international pressure, the governments of Shan State and Wa State in Myanmar have taken the initiative to fight drugs, resulting in a sharp decline in shipments. In addition, the blockade in Southeast Asia is also very strict, so Bochainwang, which has the largest inventory, is now very powerful. Many powerful next companies have bypassed the middlemen and directly contacted him for goods."
Xiao Shijie hummed, "Are you afraid of having money? "Are you afraid of losing goods?" Acheng shook his head and said, "Brother Jie, the situation is not like before. If you want to do it yourself, you can only be considered a newcomer. When we go to negotiate later, it is better to be polite." Xiao Shijie's eyes turned coldly and he hummed, "You mean, do you think I can't do big things, right?" Acheng was so scared that he shook his head and said, "Brother Jie, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that. But they have always only sold the master's account. So..."
What Xiao Shijie hates most now is Xiao Wanquan's name. He waved his hand and said evilly: "Don't say anything, eat first!" Acheng naturally heard about Xiao Jin. When he saw Xiao Shijie's reaction, he knew that he was talking too much. He quickly closed his mouth.
The dinner was eaten in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, but it was also Thai. It was all curry chicken, coconut milk chicken, beef salad, fresh seafood and stews. Although the taste was a bit heavy, it was exactly what I like. The taste, paired with the famous Thai fragrant rice, made me feel very excited. I ate several large bowls in one breath, which made everyone shocked. Even Xiao Shijie smiled and said, "Along, you are very fierce today! Are you so tired? After the talks, I will arrange a few Thai beauties to serve you, exotic, and you will be happy."
The food was almost the same, Kun Gang, who was in charge of contacting the phone, whispered: "Brother Jie, you have already contacted me. Naibasong will wait for us in his apartment. Ask us to take a few more rounds and make sure we didn't follow me before coming over."
Xiao Shijie leaned back and cursed, "Why are you so nervous? I can't know what the level of the Thai police are. Besides, even if you are targeted, so what if you are just talking about transactions now, it's not really a transaction." Kun Gang was scolded for a moment, and he didn't dare to say more, so he quickly lowered his head. Just as he lowered his head, I suddenly noticed that his eyes seemed a little wrong. I don't know if this was my illusion.
When I went to the bathroom with Xiao Shijie, I gently touched Xiao Shijie with my elbow and whispered, "Do you want to bring the gun?" Xiao Shijie looked at me strangely and said, "Why are you nervous too? It's okay, the business has not been done yet. There is no need to be such a big sutra and little monster. Besides, you have never seen Naibasong. We are still afraid of him even if he is so cowardly?"
I pondered for a moment and said, "I always feel something is wrong." Xiao Shijie has always trusted me very much. Now, when I hear my words so mysterious, I can't help but nodded, pulled up the chain of my pants, staring at me, "Let's say, what do you think is wrong?" I shook my head gently and said, "I can't explain it myself. It's just a feeling." Xiao Shijie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Acheng to prepare a gun later! It's always good to be prepared for any eventuality. Being cautious with these Thai guys is not a bad thing."
However, when Xiao Shijie asked for a gun, Acheng was embarrassed. He apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Brother Jie. Something happened a long time ago. The police investigated it tightly. The batch of guns were temporarily sent to another safe place."
Xiao Shijie cursed: "The club allocated so much money to you in a year, but it wasn't for you to make shemale men. You can't even hide the gun. You guys eat shit!" Acheng swallowed his throat dryly and said: "I'm sorry, Brother Jie!"
"Damn it to you!" Xiao Shijie was originally accused of Japanese hatred. In addition, he was unhappy. He kicked the Honda door that Kun Gang drove over and scolded loudly: "What are you not good to buy? Buy a Japanese car!" It was so scared that Acheng and Kun Gang were so scared that they twitched their faces. They quickly lowered their heads and dared not speak again. This time, I kept staring at their eyes, and finally realized that something was wrong. Although these two guys were startled by Xiao Shijie and pretended to be pitiful, they seemed to have a sneering disdain in their eyes. This look was beyond the eyes of other brothers who were often scolded by Xiao Shijie.
I didn't say anything anymore, and a strong uneasiness covered me. I really wanted to remind Xiao Shijie not to go, but I still held back when I said something. After all, I had planned for so long that I was going to make this happen. Now it was the most critical time, how could I give up easily? Besides, even if I advised him, Xiao Shijie would not give up. Now his ambition and confidence have been extremely inflated. And I can't say the reason to stop him at all, which is completely a very difficult feeling.
"Brother Jie, you guys get in the car first. I just drank too much beer and I have to go to the bathroom again!" I made an excuse and walked into the house again. This time, I walked directly into the kitchen. For me, it is not scary to have a gun, but a knife must be there.
I don’t know if the tariffs are particularly low or some other reason, there are many Japanese cars on the streets of Thailand. Acheng also arranged a Honda to take us there. We walked around in the colorful night of Bangkok, and finally confirmed that no one was following him. After Hun Gang drove out of the main urban area of Bangkok and rushed towards the Magnamian area.
Xiao Shijie was obviously still resentful about Acheng's inability to provide guns and cursed: "Damn, Naibasong doesn't want to raise crocodiles, why are you here?" He said, "Along, you are here for the first time. I'll introduce to you. The largest crocodile pool in the world is here. After the negotiations are completed, you must be interested. I will find a few beautiful girls to play with you for a few days, and I will go back directly." I shook my head and said: "No, let's hurry back together, domestic matters need to be handled!"
Xiao Shijie praised: "Along, you are so kind. Few brothers are as dedicated as you. Every time I bring my brothers to Thailand, I am as honest as Shaoyang. Haodong and others are having fun all of them. This time I owe you. When things are straightened out, I will organize my brothers to come to Pattaya together to have fun!"
I sneered in my heart: "Let's talk about it when you are alive!" But my face was as deep as water, and I said modestly: "Thank you, Brother Jie." Looking out of the car window, there were a few red glows in the sky in Bangkok, which spread into clouds in the sky, and the light blue back and the bright light of the city were called, like a fairyland.
Naibasong's villa is located at the southern end of Pak Prairie. It covers a small area, but he is a popular general of General Kaywang. His wealth is not small, so it is not expensive to just look at. The white two-story building is surrounded by dense palm trees. The lawn is flashing with waves under the light, and the hundreds of pages of windows look very elegant and beautiful. It has a very local style.
We drove into the villa. The four followers of Naibasong came up and opened the door for us. They held their hands together and greeted us politely in Mandarin: "Kun Xiao, I'm sorry, please let us check if we have any weapons." Xiao Shijie shrugged and said coldly: "No, I just came from China. Do you think the customs are vegetarian." The followers said: "I'm sorry, this is what Naibasong means."
Xiao Shijie said helplessly: "Okay, check quickly!" The followers came forward and gently touched our front and back chests and backs one by one. However, the knife was always tightly attached to my right sleeve. I have practiced this method of hiding the knife for a long time, and it looked very natural. Unless he tore open my sleeve, it would be impossible to find it.
"Ajie is my own person, how can I search my body?" I saw Naibasong walking out with a smile in the hall wearing generous clothes and said to Xiao Shijie: "Sorry, these subordinates don't know our relationship. I've delayed something today, and it's a sin to not be able to pick you up at the airport in person!"
Xiao Shijie shook his head and said with a little dissatisfaction: "It doesn't matter, I've searched too." Naibasong gently hugged Xiao Shijie and said, "Sit inside, let's talk inside."
The four of us entered the room and sat down in the luxuriously decorated hall. Naibasong asked someone to send some tea and smiled and said, "What's the point of Shijie coming this time?"
Xiao Shijie's face changed slightly and he said, "Nebasong what do you mean? We have contacted me many times on the phone. You still ask me this way, is it a bit disrespectful!"
"Be kind to be polite!" A strong young man standing behind Naibasong shouted. Although his Chinese was not very standard, everyone knew it as soon as they heard it. Xiao Shijie's face changed and he said, "Nebasong, no, why didn't you speak? Your subordinates are just treating the guests like this!"
"Oh, how can you be so rude to Shijie?" Naibasong stopped his subordinates and smiled, "I don't know the rules even if I'm new." As he said that, he lit a cigarette and sucked it slowly, and said, "Okay, let's talk straight to the point! How much goods can you swallow?"
Xiao Shijie said in a deep voice: "As long as you have it, I can swallow it no matter how much you have!"
Naibasong's burnt yellow face frowned slightly, and he laughed: "Shijie, I haven't seen you for a few days, I've become much more proud! I'm so rich, why do you still do this risky business? Isn't it better to buy real estate and invest in funds!"
Xiao Shijie smiled coldly and said, "So, I want to buy it, but you are not willing to sell it?" Naibasong smiled and said, "I am just Bochawang's subordinate. Whether to sell it or not is not something I can decide. However, it is not very good for everyone to make money. If you want it, why don't we sell it?"
"Since everyone is sincere, don't go around! You can just report the price if you have any requirements."
Naibasong shrugged slightly and said with a smile: "Shijie, don't be impatient. We have something to do! But when doing business, you have to be a little patient, let alone this kind of business. You have to show some sincerity."
Xiao Shijie's eyes flashed and he sneered: "I came to Thailand in person. I believe it is enough to prove my sincerity. Does General Wang still think I am not qualified? Since my uncle can let me take over, don't you believe in my strength?"
Naibasong laughed and said, "The facts don't seem to be like this. We heard that Tianxing Society is now the leader of Xiao Xue, and I heard that she is not in harmony with you, and your funds have been frozen. That's right."
Xiao Shijie nodded slightly and said, "I admit this!" Naibasong smiled coldly and said, "Since you admit it too, then what are you doing business with us?"
Xiao Shijie smiled disdainfully and said, "Since I am willing to come to talk in person, can I still do it empty-handed? Not to mention the amount, I can still swallow a few tons of goods! There is absolutely no problem with the funds. As long as the price is fair, I can get 50% more deposit than others."
Naibasong nodded with a sneer and said, "So, it's rumor that Xiao Jin's money was indeed swallowed by you!"
Xiao Shijie's eyes chilled and he said, "This has nothing to do with what we are going to talk about!" Naibasong nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, but you have to prove that you do have this ability."
Xiao Shijie was choked by the other party and finally couldn't help it. He said in a cold voice: "Maybe General Wang thought I was not as good as Xiao Jin before, but Xiao Jin is dead now. Apart from me, who else can swallow such a large amount of goods?"
Naibasong smiled strangely again and said, "What do you mean is, if we want a market, you will only have the choice?" Xiao Shijie nodded without hesitation and said, "What do you think? Feng Xiaojin is dead and the old man has also gone to the United States. Do you really think that Tianxing Club is still the yellow-haired girl? "
Naibasong laughed and said, "It's so bold. So, did you kill Xiao Jin?"
Xiao Shijie did not answer positively, but just smiled coldly and said, "I can even bite such a big hard bone. Do you think I am qualified to talk to you?" This is considered to admit that he killed Xiao Jin.
"Of course you are not qualified!" A slightly old but extremely familiar voice suddenly came from our side.
Xiao Shijie and I were both stunned and turned to look for the sound. We saw that with the sound, we were very familiar with the person who came out of the inner room.
After not seeing him for a while, although he had lost a lot of weight and was no longer as rich as before, the vicious complexion between his eyebrows had not diminished at all.
"Big...Uncle!" Xiao Shijie's face suddenly turned pale. None of him or me expected that the person who came from the house would actually be Xiao Wanquan.
Chapter completed!
