The First Volume: The Hollow Spirit Chapter 34: Transaction Successful

  The day of the transaction has finally arrived, and Eighth Master is accompanied by 40 of his most trusted brothers. The quantity of this batch of military supplies is really too large. Eighth Master had previously discussed with Wang Ya-zu that they could only transport a portion of the military supplies to another location first, while temporarily storing the rest in a warehouse within the French concession. If they were to move such a large batch of military supplies all at once, the commotion would be too great.

  Five military trucks were all ready, and the goods in the trucks were being unloaded. With great care, a large number of antiques and treasures were taken down from the trucks, with the most valuable ones placed in iron boxes right before Wang Yaowu and Ba Ye.

  There were two people beside Anthony. One was a French military officer wearing the summer uniform of the French army, with the rank of captain. The other was a French civilian in a suit and glasses, holding a notebook and carefully examining a piece of Chinese jade in his hand. Wang Ya-zu judged that this person should be a French businessman who knew China relatively well.

  "It's so beautiful, really too beautiful." The French businessman said in Chinese after carefully observing it, reluctant to put down the piece of Han jade in his hand.

  Seeing the merchant's fondness for the Han jade, the French lieutenant personally reached out and took the Han jade from the merchant's hand, then put it back in its original packaging. Seeing the foreigner's reaction, Ba Ye, who had been somewhat tense, relaxed a lot.

  When all the most valuable items have been checked and there is no problem, what's left is to conduct a sampling inspection. This kind of thing doesn't require the participation of the three most crucial Frenchmen in this transaction. The three Frenchmen went to one side and whispered to each other in French.

  "Yaozu, won't there be any problem? What are those foreigners saying, can you understand?" Dealing with such a big transaction with foreigners, Eighth Master is still a bit nervous, afraid that something will go wrong. If it weren't for Wang Yaozu acting as the middleman, he really wouldn't dare to do business with foreigners. Foreigners don't understand what moral integrity and trustworthiness are.

  "It should be fine now. In order to continue doing business with us in the future, they shouldn't play any tricks. On Shanghai ground, they need people like us who are capable and trustworthy."

  Wang Yaozu comforted the Eighth Master on one hand, while he had already made preparations for today. Wang Yaozu brought two guns, two wooden-handled grenades, three clips of each type, a dagger and five flying knives.

  Five cups, a bottle of wine. Antoni, who thought the deal was going smoothly, was already preparing to celebrate while the foreigners were checking the antiques and curios, and the people from the Eighth Master's side were also inspecting that batch of firearms. The guns were a bit old, but they could still be used. In some chaotic places, as long as it was a gun, it could sell for a good price.

  "I hope we can trade again next time!" Anthony poured five cups of wine on the side. The captain who was in charge of this transaction personally congratulated the success of this transaction in French, but Ba Ye didn't understand and felt a bit nervous.

  Wang Yaizu took over the two wine cups handed over by Anthony, and handed one to the eighth master's hand, saying softly: "Peaceful and safe, transaction successful!"

  When Wang Ya Zu said the deal was successful, Ba Ye finally regained his original demeanor as a Jianghu big shot. He took over the wine cup handed to him by Wang Ya Zu and, imitating Wang's manner, clinked cups with the other three foreigners. The five of them downed the grape wine in one gulp. At this moment, they all had the same thought: with such a good start, the subsequent transaction would be much simpler.

  Load, get on the car, sign, lock the door and stick a seal. First transport away one thousand people's equipment of military supplies, the remaining two thousand people's equipment of military supplies will be transported away in batches after some time. The warehouse gate was locked with a big lock, and the French Consulate General's seal was sealed on it. The document clearly stated that only when the Eighth Master and Wang Yaoyu came together could they open the warehouse door.

  Having obtained such a large batch of military supplies, Eighth Master was very excited, but now is not the time to celebrate. Eighth Master first needs to store enough equipment for one thousand regular troops in a safe place, and then find a way to work with Wang Ya Zu to find a big buyer. This big buyer is also a very troublesome problem. The quantity of this batch of goods is really too large this time.

  One thing was done, and Wang Ya Zu still had another matter to attend to. Anyway, there was still time, things would be handled one by one. When Wang Ya Zu returned home, he put all the weapons back in the attic, took a bath, and wanted to close his eyes for a short rest when the phone rang.

  "Vice Captain Wang, is there still no news? Tomorrow you must urge that Yan fellow again. Vice Captain Shi's temper has been getting more and more violent by the day. If we don't get any leads soon, all of us brothers will be in trouble!"

  The phone call was made by Mao, whose tone was both pleading and threatening at the same time. The brothers in the stock were all unlucky, and while they blamed Yan Song, they would also blame Wang Yaozu. However, having just completed such a big deal, Wang Yaozu was not in a hurry.

  "Alright, I'll think of a way to urge Deputy Yan tomorrow. But don't you guys have any leads at all? It's almost been a month and you usually have so many informants, how come there's no lead until now? Anyway, I'll think of something tomorrow."

  Wang Yaoyu hung up the phone after finishing speaking, and he didn't want to say anything more about this matter. Even if Yan Song really took the money and didn't give any news, Wang Yaoyu only needed to take out some money in the end and distribute it to the members of the two groups. At the right time, he would also give Tie Tou and Mao Zi two large gifts, and the matter could be settled.

  But what Wang Yaowu didn't expect was that just as he hung up the phone and picked up his grandson's military strategy book from the bedside table to read for two pages, the phone rang again. Wang Yaowu originally thought it was Maozi calling again, and he was a bit angry, but when he picked up the phone with some resentment, a spirited voice came from the other end of the line.

  "Yaozu, I'm Yan Song. Let's have breakfast together tomorrow morning. You choose the location. The time is 6 o'clock in the morning." Yan Song said and stopped talking, waiting for Wang Yaozu to respond.

  Since it's breakfast, of course, we should eat at a place that Wang Ya Zu trusts and is also delicious. Wang Ya Zu set the location at his usual stall for congee and baozi. The couple was relatively reliable too.

  After the location was settled, Wang Ya Zu felt exhausted again. After hanging up the phone, he heard Wu Ma's voice from downstairs. Wu Ma downstairs was woken up by the ringing of the phone and asked after waking up: "Young master, do you need me to make a midnight snack for you?"

  "No need, Wu Ma you go to sleep. I'll be sleeping soon too." At this time, Wang Yaowu indeed felt a little hungry in his stomach. But at this time, Wang Yaowu did not want to eat anything, which was good for the body.

  The next morning, Wang Ya-zu got up early from bed. Years of habit allowed Wang Ya-zu to get up early according to the time he determined before going to sleep, and his biological clock was adjusted to the best state. Oversleeping can also be harmful.

  After telling Wu's mother, Wang Yaowu also went out. At this early hour, the streets were filled with vendors rushing to do business. The street sweepers had come out even earlier to clean the streets. These people who came out now were generally the busiest and earned the least amount of money.

  When Wang Ya Zu arrived, the boss's wife immediately greeted him personally. She brought out the best chair for Wang Ya Zu to sit down, while the boss on the side prepared the usual food according to the old rules. At the same time, he carefully found the cleanest and driest bowls and chopsticks, and finally put the porridge, buns, and sauce into the bowl and plate, and sent them to Wang Ya Zu's face.

  Yan Song was late, Wang Yaoyu had finished his congee and bun, sat there drinking tea for twenty minutes. Finally, he ordered two more buns, ate one, and was about to leave when Yan Song arrived. Wang Yaoyu pushed the remaining bun in front of Yan Song and said: "Boss's wife, bring another bowl of congee."

  Yan Song sat down like this, since Wang Yaozu had helped him with the porridge and also got some buns.So Yan Song just sat there, not saying anything, and started eating directly. Yan Song seemed to be very hungry, a bowl of plain porridge and a bun were quickly finished. But after finishing, he still didn't open his mouth, Wang Yaozu looked at him again and said: "Boss's wife, bring two more buns."

  Two steamed buns were quickly finished by Yan Song. He was somewhat full now, and in one gulp he drank the tea that Wang Yaowu had helped him pour. At this time, Yan Song finally took out an envelope from his body and placed it on the table, pushing it to Wang Yaowu's face. Wang Yaowu pressed down on the envelope with his hand, immediately taking it over and putting it into his own pocket.

  "What you want is all written in the letter. This time, Yào Zǔ, you must help me. There, no one takes me seriously, and as a deputy officer, others are high above, while I am low below, it's too unfair, where am I worse than them? In short, this time, Yào Zǔ, you guys move quickly, must make those guys lose face once, let them have a hard time!"

  Looking at Yan Song's resentful face, Wang Yaowu nodded and patted Yan Song's shoulder before standing up to leave. Because the change was too troublesome, Wang Yaowu simply settled accounts with this stall once a month. This way is much more convenient.
