The truck drove for an hour, turned into the commercial street of the 17th district, and finally stopped outside the Lung Hing Jeet Kune Do Hall.
Many members of the Lung Hing Society from the Jeet Kune Dojo came out to help unload the goods. Soon, they moved the goods from the truck to the second floor, almost filling up the entire second floor. There were many kinds of goods, including toy guns, bullet shells, and some mineral pigments. Everything was tightly wrapped.
Jiang Cheng, Zhuge Liuyun, and some other members surrounded these things.
Jiang Cheng held a toy gun in his hand and played with it for a while. Then, he dismantled the toy gun and took out the gun barrel. This thing was real. It was made of steel, and the workmanship was precise. It felt very textured in his hand.
Jiang Cheng touched the gun barrel and said to the others, "Among the more than 500 highly simulated toy guns, 1/10 of them have real guns like this." He weighed the gun barrel in his hand and said, "Everyone, let's work together and find the real thing."
Following Jiang Cheng's words, the others began to move. They dismantled the toy guns one by one, looking for the parts hidden in them. For a moment, the plastic wrappers flew everywhere in the room, and the parts of the toy guns were scattered all over the floor. One by one, the parts of the real guns were found and gathered in a plastic box.
Jiang Cheng walked to the bags of pigments with a knife in his hand, cut open the packaging of these drinks, and looked for the explosives hidden in them.
With a click, Jiang Cheng's knife cut open a bag of pigments, and the purple-blue pigment powder flowed out. When it flowed halfway, a small pocket was revealed in the center of the pigment, which contained gray powder.
"This is it!" Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up. He immediately separated the small pocket hidden in the bag of pigments, poured out a little gray powder from it, and placed it in his palm. He rubbed it in his hand and put it to the tip of his nose to smell it. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up. Sure enough, this was what he wanted.
Jiang Cheng and the others counted the number of future guns on the second floor. After two or three hours, they finally counted everything. If there were no accidents, they could make 50 guns and 2,000 bullets. These guns were all the same model, and the bullets could be used.
After the inventory was done, Jiang Cheng immediately decided to give Tagore the raw materials needed for 10 guns and 400 rounds of ammunition so that he could produce the finished products as soon as possible. These raw materials would be given to Tagore in five batches. According to the agreement, 20% of the raw materials would be given to Tagore as remuneration. However, if the Longxing Association could obtain 8 guns and 320 rounds of ammunition, Jiang Cheng wouldn't have to be too afraid of the Martin Gang coming after him again.
In the afternoon, Jiang Cheng called Tagore to give him the raw materials, so Tagore asked Hans and his bodyguard Charlton to come to the Lung Hing Jeet Kune Do Hall to pick up the things. The two sides agreed that the eight guns and 160 bullets would be delivered in 15 days, and the remaining bullets would be handed over to Jiang Cheng five days later.
Jiang Cheng agreed to this condition and introduced the two to Zhuge Liuyun and his other brothers. In this way, Jiang Cheng would not need to act as a liaison in the future.
…
Jiang Cheng and Johansson sat at the dining table on the first floor of the Lung Hing Jeet Kune Do Hall.
Johansson picked up a glass of water on the table and drank it clean. He wiped his mouth with his hand and said to Jiang Cheng, "Cheng Ge, I have found out that Jabbarton and his brother are living in St. Pauli Hospital in the 18th district."
"How many people are protecting him?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Johansson stretched out three fingers and said, "I sneaked into the hospital to have a look. Three. Now there are only three people around Jabbarton. Cheng Ge, do you want to kill him?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said coldly, "Jabbarton is the main reason why our brothers were injured. The site at Rhodes Street was taken away because of him. He must not be allowed to live!"
"Then I will take a few people to kill Jabbarton tonight!" Johansson raised his hand and made a gesture of slitting his throat.
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, picked up the tea from the table and slowly tasted it. Johansson was a Chinese and French mixed-blood, so he spoke with a Chinese accent. Jiang Cheng liked this kind of person very much, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I want to deal with this matter myself. You just need to tell me the specific location."
Johansson looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise, "Yes, Cheng Ge, you, you want to do it yourself?"
Jiang Cheng nodded, "I will feel better if I kill him myself. Tell me the specific location, I want to act tonight."
Johansson hesitated for a moment, took out a notebook with a pen and wrote something in it. Then, he tore the page and handed it to Jiang Cheng, "Cheng Ge, this is the specific address."
Jiang Cheng took the note and looked down at it. There was an address written on it – St. Poly Hospital, Inpatient Department, Third District, Sixth Floor, Single Ward 609.
Jiang Cheng nodded, put the note in his pocket, and asked Johansson, "I asked you to investigate the source of income of the Martin Gang. Have you found out?"
"I have. The bars and cabarets on East Street are the source of income of the Martin Gang. They don't care much about the superficial business, and their main source of income is a large amount of drug trafficking. Cheng Ge, what do you want to do?" Johansson looked at Jiang Cheng curiously. Since the day Jiang Cheng asked him to investigate these things, he felt very strange. Did he want to rob the territory of the Martin Gang?
Jiang Cheng smiled mysteriously and put the teacup on the table, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I will leave it to Jing Long and others to handle. If I go, I may be recognized."
Johansson became more curious. When he was about to ask again, Zhuge Liuyun's voice came from behind.
"Johansson, go out and have a walk first. I have something to talk to Jiang Cheng alone," Zhuge Liuyun said with a gloomy face, holding a stack of documents in his hand.
Jiang Cheng looked at Zhuge Liuyun in surprise and winked at Johansson. Johansson immediately stood up sensibly and went to another corner of the Lung Hing Jeet Kune Do Hall to exercise, looking at them curiously from time to time.
"Brother Zhuge Liuyun, sit down. What happened?" Jiang Cheng said to Zhuge Liuyun.
Zhuge Liuyun sat at the table, sighed, and said with a hint of embarrassment, "I was just choosing the address of Longxing Bank in Paris, but I didn't expect to hear news from China that Tianxia Hui has established a stronghold in the UK and set up a chain of pawnshops of the Heavenly Trading Company. At present, their staff has increased to more than 5,000 people, and they gradually want to extend their reach to France."
"What?!" Jiang Cheng, who had just picked up the teacup, immediately put it down heavily on the table and looked at Zhuge Liuyun in disbelief.
"Brother Zhuge, when did this happen?" Jiang Cheng had long heard of the rumor that Tianxia Hui also had an international influence, but he didn't expect it to develop so well that it had already entered the stage of transnational operation.
Zhuge Liuyun handed the documents in his hand to Jiang Cheng, "Look at these documents. Tianxia Hui entered the international field much earlier than us. They had already established a stronghold in the UK as early as 10 years ago. These documents are the properties under their name."
Jiang Cheng grabbed the documents and read them carefully. The more he read, the angrier his face became. Tianxia Hui had actually become a large consortium in the UK, with more than 30,000 ordinary employees. Moreover, the company was operating cutting-edge industries with huge profits every year. It had completely entered the industrial management of the group. Not only that, many of its properties were also developing well. The most typical ones were the pawnshop of the Heavenly Trading Company and the Heavenly Competitive Auction House, which enjoyed a good reputation in the UK.
Jiang Cheng frowned, raised his head, and asked Zhuge Liuyun, "Brother Zhuge, this news came from China, which means that Xiao He and Mino have all read it. What do they think?"
Zhuge Liuyun nodded, "Mino has decided to come to France soon and seize the time to develop the French industry. Tianxia Hui should not know that we have established a branch in France and are working hard to develop it. If they know, they will definitely try their best to suppress us! At that time, it will be more difficult for us to develop. Therefore, after discussing with Xiao He, my sister-in-law has decided to allocate a sum of money to help the French industry develop quickly. "
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said with a smile, "Well, this is both bad and good news. We should speed up. Longxing Group and the bank should also set up branches in France!"
After thinking for a while, Jiang Cheng asked Zhuge Liuyun, "Brother Zhuge, when will Mino come?"
"Probably in two or three days," Zhuge Liuyun said.
"Then, Brother Zhuge." Jiang Cheng looked at Zhuge Liuyun, "During this period of time, I'll have to trouble you to investigate more France's business information. I believe that when Mino comes, the first thing she will want to see is these things."
"Okay, I will go and prepare now!" Zhuge Liuyun stood up and was about to leave, but he suddenly thought of something. He turned to Jiang Cheng and said, "By the way, Jiang Cheng, Lu Yuanzheng has an additional task for us to do."
Hearing Lu Yuanzheng's name, Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked confusedly, "What is it?"
"He wants us to be like Tianxia Hui. We want to run a high-tech multinational company that can be connected with the enterprises in Huaxia and import the most advanced technologies to Huaxia. He can provide us with some working capital in this aspect." Zhuge Liuyun said with a smile.
"Okay!" Jiang Cheng answered without thinking.
There was no reason for him to refuse something that could benefit Huaxia. Moreover, the prospect of developing the industry with cutting-edge technology was very broad. Even if Lu Yuanzheng did not say it, Mino would probably choose to do so. It was also because of this that the head of World Club entered this industry.
Zhuge Liuyun turned around and left with a smile. Jiang Cheng's answer was completely within his expectation.
...
Time passed quickly, and it was already the early hours of the morning.
St. Pauli Hospital in the 18th arrondissement of Paris was crowded during the day, but now it was quiet. Many doctors and nurses had gone off work, and there were only a few people on night duty in the inpatient department. In the third area of the inpatient department, a black nurse was sitting at the counter, looking down at some information.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a figure flashing by the counter.
