After knocking on the door, Liu Sheng and Li Wei opened the door for him. Liu Sheng said nothing, but nodded slightly.
"Brother Zhao, where have you been? We are going to talk about something and you are not here yet." Li Wen asked quickly.
"I'm sorry, my family in China called me and I went to the smoking room." Zhao Xin apologized quickly with an apologetic look on his face. According to the wording he had thought of before, Zhao Xin used English directly to prevent the white young man from misunderstanding.
Entering the guest room, the young white man had already stood up. Li Wei introduced this person as Dannie, his best friend in college.
Zhao Xin shook hands with the other party, said hello, and said something apologetic, saying that he had taken a domestic call temporarily.
After the four of them sat down, Liu Sheng winked at Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin immediately understood that this Dannie was carrying something; and before he left the guest room in the morning, he put the buck knife on his lower back and covered it with his clothes.
Zhao Xin knew his weight. If the other party really wanted to take action, he could only count on Liu Sheng.
After Dannie sat down, he first chatted for a while about Zhao Xin's purpose of coming to the United States, then asked how his days were going and recommended several tourist attractions.
After talking nonsense like this for half an hour, Zhao Xin became a little anxious. He glanced at Li Wei, who then nodded to Dannie.
"Mr. Zhao, can I ask you what is the purpose of purchasing goods from me?"
Dannie was very careful not to hear the word "weapon" come out of his mouth, he only said merchandise.
"That's right, Mr. Liu and I opened a company in Central Africa to develop mineral resources. As we all know, it's really unsafe there, so..." Zhao Xin talked a lot. Prepared stories in advance.
In order to make this story sound reliable, he had previously consulted a lot of information on starting a company in Central Africa, and also called a friend who had spent several years in Africa to inquire.
"Mr. Zhao, I think you can buy it directly locally if it is for safety reasons. There is no need to find me."
"How can I put it, the quality of the goods you can buy there is really poor. And Mr. Liu and I are both military enthusiasts. If you want to buy something, just buy it. I don't care about spending a little money. That's why we came here this time to participate in shooting training The reason for the camp.”
Dannie nodded, but then issued a warning.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't care what your purpose is, but you have to tell me how you transported these things out. Because once seized by the police, I will also be implicated."
Zhao Xinyi pointed at Liu Sheng: "This Mr. Liu is engaged in ocean trade, so we have a way to solve the transportation problem."
At this time, Li Wei hurriedly spoke up and said, Dannie, you are too worried. If he didn't know Zhao Xin's situation, he would never introduce it.
Dannie nodded, and after listening to Li Wei's words, he asked: "How much are you planning to purchase?"
Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said, "I have more than twenty security personnel there. It's best to have them all."
Dannie didn't say anything. He stood up and walked to the window, looked around the window sill, then turned his back to the window and took out a folded piece of paper from the pocket of his coat.
"Mr. Zhao, stand here and watch."
Outside the window of Zhao Xin's room, the surrounding area is very empty and there are no high-rise buildings. The window sills in the house are also wrapped with decorative boards, making it impossible to hide the camera.
Zhao Xin followed the other party's request and stood in front of the window, with his back to the window, and took the folded paper. At this time Dannie added: "No taking pictures."
The other party took out an A4 paper with dozens of equipment and prices listed on it.
Zhao Xin read it in silence, folded the paper and handed it to Dannie, and said to the other party: "Sorry, I'll confirm the quantity with Mr. Liu first. Mr. Liu's English is not very good, so we will discuss it in Chinese, please don't mind. "
Dannie shrugged nonchalantly and muttered a Chinese sentence: "It doesn't matter, I understand."
Zhao Xin's eyes widened, he was very surprised, and turned to look at Li Wei. Li Wei chuckled: "I taught him this in college. Normal conversation is no problem."
Are you still hiding a secret? How insidious!
So he sat down and began to discuss the type and quantity of purchases with Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng's eyes widened as soon as he heard the other party's quotation. Damn, that's so bad!
"Isn't this too expensive?" Liu Sheng asked carefully.
"I think it's pretty good. If you go to Thailand, the price will more than double."
"It's better to get some AK, that's so cheap." Liu Sheng objected.
"Coming here to buy an AK? Aren't you crazy? You came here to buy a good one." Zhao Xin deliberately slowed down his speech in order to let Dannie understand what the two were talking about.
Liu Sheng nodded noncommittally: "Then you are free to buy what we discussed before."
In line with the principle of "there is no such store after passing this village", Zhao Xin stood by the window again, asked Dannie for the product catalog, pointed to a few items in it and said: "Twenty sets of each."
Dannie asked: "What about this?"
Zhao Xin has asked Brother Bao before and also read online. For 5.56x45mm NATO, 55 Green specifications are usually 300 rounds per box, and the membership price is about 250 yuan; while for 9mm, the largest specification is 500 rounds, and the price is Around 300 yuan.
So he pointed to the 5.56mm specification and said: "These two are standard at 300 per box, and each is 100 boxes." Then he pointed to the 9mm specification. "These two items are priced at 500 per box, 100 boxes each."
After selecting the type and quantity of goods, the two discussed the delivery issue. Of course, Zhao Xin hopes to make an appointment as soon as possible, but Dannie said that the delivery will not be possible until five days.
Five days, just five days, I have been waiting for so many days. Zhao Xin then agreed. The location will be notified at that time.
As for the most critical payment, Dannie has an overseas account, so this is easy. Since the total price of Zhao Xin's purchase was quite high, Dannie said that he could pay 15% in advance and the rest upon delivery. So Zhao Xin immediately asked the other party to provide his account number, and he used his laptop to complete the payment on the spot.
After Li Wei and Dannie said goodbye, Zhao Xin took a deep breath, slumped down on the sofa, and said with lingering fear: "I'm so tired. I'm careful every time I say a word, and people are always guarding us. .”
During the nearly two hours of conversation, Liu Sheng was also highly nervous and ready to take action at any time. Now that I am relaxing, I am also very tired.
The two of them sat like this for a long time without saying anything.
In the early morning five days later, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng completed a near-miss transaction with Dannie in an abandoned old shipyard warehouse at the port.
When the two of them drove to the dock together with Li Wei, who had received the notice, Dannie was already waiting there in advance.
Seeing the three of them arriving, Dannie made a phone call. A few minutes later, a truck drove into the nearby warehouse, and several people followed.
After the car stopped, four tall guys got out. As soon as Liu Sheng took a look, he knew that these people had guys on their waists. One of the horsemen walked to the back of the car and opened the cargo box door. He looked at it with a flashlight and saw that there were many boxes stacked inside.
Dannie asked Zhao and Xin to go into the carriage to check. Zhao Xin did not move and asked Liu Sheng to go up alone to open the box and check. While Liu Sheng was unpacking and inspecting the boxes one by one, there were always two people standing next to him, with their hands on their waists.
In the tortured mood, time passed very long. More than an hour later, Liu Shengcai read everything one by one, jumped out of the carriage and nodded to Zhao Xin.
Feeling a little relieved, Zhao Xin asked Dannie to unload all the things in the carriage, and a car would come and take them away as soon as possible. Dannie nodded in agreement and called three of his men to help unload the goods. He and Zhao Xin completed the payment procedures on the side.
Dannie didn't seem very happy until he received the payment notification. He told Zhao Xin that he could send an email directly if he needed anything in the future, and gave Zhao Xin an email address.
After Dannie and the four boys drove away in the truck, Zhao Xin took out a stack of cash in a large envelope and handed it to Li Wei who was waiting at the side.
Li Wei turned on the light of his mobile phone, opened the envelope and took a look. He had a rough idea, and then he put it away happily.
"Brother Zhao, I didn't say anything, you just do things with ease. If you need anything else in the future, just come to me."
"I didn't say anything." Zhao Xin chuckled.
"Brother Zhao, what about you..."
"Don't worry. We'll do it ourselves." Zhao Xin patted Li Wei on the shoulder.
Li Wei knew it and didn't ask any more questions, then said goodbye and drove away.
After Li Wei's car drove away, Zhao Xinze looked around for a while, and after circling the warehouse, he got into the pickup truck he rented and drove into the warehouse. After stopping the car, he and Liu Sheng put the boxes into the back of the pickup truck one by one.
There were so many things that it was already full after being placed less than half way. So Zhao Xin asked Liu Sheng to wait here while he drove out of the warehouse and drove to the outside of the warehouse facing the sea.
There is the sea to the left here, and there is no shadow of the ship on the sea; and there are no windows on the outer wall of the warehouse. Zhao Xin got out of the car and looked at it with a flashlight for a long time, then took out the jade pendant and put everything in the pickup truck inside.
After going back and forth four times, I finally collected all the boxes. The two of them drove away immediately without stopping.
That afternoon, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng boarded the plane back home.
Cheng Wei continued to stay with Brother Bao, and Zhao Xin demanded that he could not return to China until Brother Bao recognized his training results. And Cheng Weili was happy to have no one to care about him. This life of playing with guns every day and learning firearms knowledge from Brother Bao was much more interesting than driving all day long.
Back home, I received a call from the warehouse. The various materials Zhao Xin had ordered on the website had arrived, but the space in the warehouse was a bit insufficient, and the free warehouse was temporarily occupied. So Zhao Xin asked on the phone to rent an additional 800-square-meter warehouse.
Putting down the phone, it suddenly occurred to him that there were two things he hadn't prepared.
In line with the principle of "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, be afraid of the worst", he asked Liu Sheng to order a small container truck, and he purchased two sets of 1500L medical oxygen bottles and breathing masks on the website.
At this point, all preparations before departure are basically completed.
Looking at the warehouse that was soon empty, Zhao Xin looked at the jade pendant in his hand. He was very curious, how much could this thing hold? A large RV and a large yacht were already inside, and now there was a warehouse full of supplies.
On the way home, Liu Sheng called and said that the truck had been selected, but it would take some time to apply for the license plate. Zhao Xin said dumbfounded: "What kind of license plate do you have? Is it needed in that place?"
"Oh." Liu Sheng also knew that he was stupid, so he joked for a few words and hung up the phone.
Two days later, the van and oxygen bottles ordered by Liu Sheng also arrived.
All supplies were ready, and Zhao Xin decided not to delay. On the Bear Island side, the sea would begin to freeze in early December every year; and in the Tsugaru Strait, located in the northern part of the island country Aomori, westerly winds would begin to blow in winter, and Siberian winds would blow. The cold wind that comes makes this area of the sea often blow storms, and the sea surface is rough.
It is already mid-November, and when we arrive at Bear Island, we have to rebuild the camp immediately to prepare for the winter.
The next day, the two boarded a flight to the island country.
