Chapter 605 The first pot of gold(2/2)
Li Xilu nodded and said, "I believe you are telling the truth, but I really want to know why you told me these secrets?"
Luo Lie said: "I want to make a deal with you... Do you think this is good? Anyway, you got the batch of goods only sold in the United States and will not be shipped to the Qing Dynasty. What Brother Bin is most worried about is that the batch of goods will poison fellow Qing dynasties. As long as you guarantee that this batch of goods will only be sold in the United States of America, then there will be no fundamental conflict between our Kingsoft Anliangtang and you Li Xilutanlia. As for how you threaten Mr. Gu, I will convince Brother Bin not to go to that muddy water. You don't have to worry about Brother Bin. From now on, we will not interfere with the river water, how about it?"
Li Xilu shrugged his shoulders and said, "You said it very beautifully, and I was also very moved when I heard it, but how do you guarantee that you can convince Cao Bin?"
Luo Lie said: "Whoever can guarantee it? But if you don't try it, you can't say I can't do it, right?"
Li Xilu nodded and replied, "That's true that I can't say that."
Luo Lie said: "That's it! So, since it's a deal that is beneficial to both parties, if it's you, I will definitely try it."
Li Xilu snorted and said, "But, Cao Bin and Dong Biao's dragon are not seen, what can you find him to convince him?"
Luo Lie said: "The mountain man has his own tricks. However, it's too late today. Let's find me a bed to sleep first. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I will naturally tell you what to do."
For opium merchants, the source of goods is the fundamental.
The market is clearly there, and the strength it has, the territory it can occupy. Li Xilu and Tanlia believe that as long as they take out the account book to threaten it, Gu Haoran of Anliangtang, New York, will definitely surrender to them. Even if they cannot reach in-depth cooperation, such as forcing Anliangtang in New York to directly sell opium, it will also make Anliangtang in New York to become their strong backing.
With the big tree of Anliangtang in New York as a supporter, then its own forces can gain a foothold in New York. The Bill Lane group, which exists like a god, has collapsed, and the original opium business empire has collapsed. It is the best time to intervene at this moment. As Li Xilu said, if they can win the New York market, not to mention two hundred tons of opium, even one thousand tons, they can eat it.
But where can I get so much goods?
The South American continent has relatively sufficient supply, but the opium in the entire South American continent is monopolized by Bill Lane by more than 70%. Although Bill Lane no longer exists now, the supply of goods in the South American continent is still not something that Mexican forces can intervene. Their supply can only be limited to Mexico's own country. With more wolves and fewer meat, their forces can't even divide the supply of goods.
Therefore, the total amount of 1,800 tons of goods that Luo Lie said really excited Li Xilu and Tanlia.
However, Na Luo Lie was already imprisoned and could not even control his own life. He actually made a weird request to find him a bed to sleep, which made Li Xiluo feel a little amused.
Tanlia, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but feel a little angry. Upstairs and downstairs, more than a dozen muzzles were pointed at them. Anyone who could just pull the trigger gently, would fall into a pool of blood after a crisp sound. In such a dangerous time, Luo Lie was so relaxed, which was a great insult to his side.
Tanlia was about to get angry, but was stopped by Li Xilu. "It's really getting late, but meeting you made me quite excited. You are going to bed now, is it appropriate?"
Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders and said dissatisfiedly: "If you want to use me as bait, you will naturally not kill me, but Brother Bin and the others will not be fooled by you for a while. What can you do without sleeping? How can you bear it?"
Li Xilu said: "I really want to hear your plan. Let's do it. Now you will tell me what to do. After I understand, I will naturally arrange a place for you to rest."
Luo Lie was quite helpless and said, "You are really stubborn. OK, it's not a big deal, just say it." Luo Lie changed his seat, took off his coat, took off the flying knife tied to his arms, threw it under his feet, and said, "Since you firmly believe that Brother Bin and the others came to Miami, then let's talk as they were in Miami. You set this trap, Brother Bin and Brother Bin could not stop me. There are two possibilities in between, one is that they couldn't see through your hand.
The second is to see through it but have not been able to stop it. But no matter what, today I, Luo Lie, fell into your hands, is an indisputable fact. I believe Brother Bin and Brother Biao will soon find this fact. When tomorrow, you will take me to the street, and they will naturally contact me. At that time, I just say, they just listen. If they can convince them, they will definitely send you a signal of reconciliation. If they can't convince them, they will do what they should do."
Luo Lie, without a flying knife, was like a tiger without teeth. Although he still had some combat power, he had lost the ability to kill a blow. Luo Lie's action of removing the flying knife and throwing it on the ground showed that he had completely given up his resistance. Li Xilu saw it and felt much more at ease.
After staying in Anliangtang, New York for more than three years, I heard a lot of legends about Cao Bin, but Li Xilu always believed that legends were legends, and any legends must be exaggerated. Therefore, he did not think that Cao Bin would be as powerful as the legend said. This time, Cao Bin and Dong Biao embarked on the road to Miami completely according to his design, which shows that Li Xilu's wisdom is not much worse than Cao Bin, and it can even be said to be a little better than Cao Bin. As for the military on Kingsoft who sent a whole company to intercept Cao Bin and Dong Biao, he could not even capture Cao Bin's shadow, which only means that those soldiers were too stupid.
Luo Lie’s strategy was really not very good. In Miami, he and Tanlia were not among the best. There were at least three gangs stronger than theirs. Therefore, Li Xilu did not want to make too much noise. However, the 1,800 tons of opium that Luo Lie said was extremely attractive to Li Xilu. Moreover, the people on Kingsoft had indeed mentioned this matter, which showed that what Luo Lie said was not a false statement.
"Very good!" Li Xilu knocked out the cigar, got up and came to Luo Lie, bent down and picked up the flying knife that Luo Lie threw on the ground, and said, "I admire your attitude very much. The current affairs expert Fang Weijunjie, Luo Lie, I began to like you a little, so tonight, I will definitely give you a bed to rest in peace."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you here!"
Li Xilu turned to his surrounding subordinates in Spanish and ordered: "Take the three of them to the basement and take care of them strictly, but do not neglect them."
There were no windows or doors in the basement, and there was only a three-foot square hole above the head, and the hole was sealed by thick steel plates. Therefore, Li Xilu's men seemed very enthusiastic. Without even searching Qin Gang and Gu Ting, they sent the three people into the basement.
"Young Master, can we still get out?" Gu Ting changed his eccentric appearance and became a little pitiful, with a hint of fear flashing in his slapped eyes.
Luo Lie sighed and said, "We have all been exposed by others. I think the name of this young master is spared!"
Qin Gang said angrily: "Li Xilu is talking nonsense. How could Brother Ming collude with someone like him?"
Luo Lie said: "I don't believe that Zhao Daming will collude with him, but it won't be possible if I don't believe it! In addition to the three of us, the insider is Zhao Daming, and the three of us cannot betray themselves. Who would it be if it's not Zhao Daming?"
Qin Gang had no way to argue, so he could only sigh.
Gu Ting said: "Brother Luo Lie, do you think Brother Bin and the others will come to save us?"
Luo Lie smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I have been dealing with them for so long. If Brother Bin Biao was in Miami, they would have rescued him long ago. I heard Li Xilu's words, the army on Kingsoft might not be able to stop Brother Biao, but the two of them were also likely to be bound by something else and failed to come to Miami." After a moment, Luo Lie said with concern: "If Brother Bin Biao arrived in Miami, they would definitely contact me as soon as possible."
Gu Ting said: "If you wait until tomorrow, Brother Luo Lie, you still can't contact Brother Bin, how can you explain to Li Xilu? Will he kill us in anger?"
Luo Lie sighed and said, "Who knows! Now, we can only leave it to fate."
Qin Gang said: "When we leave this basement tomorrow, we will seize the opportunity and fight with them to protect you two from escaping."
Luo Lie laughed and said, "You have bare hands and have dozens of guns, why are you fighting to the death?"
Gu Ting took out the Browning from his arms and said, "Brother Luo Lie, they forgot to search for your body. This gun may come in handy."
Luo Lie sighed: "This gun was given to me by Zhao Daming. Don't you think he would tamper with it? If you don't believe it, just fire it and try it. I'll keep it. You won't be able to fire it."
Gu Ting was stunned for a moment, then put away his gun helplessly and said, "This is not possible, that is not possible. We can only wait to die obediently?"
Luo Lie smiled bitterly and said, "It's great to die early and be reborn early. However, Li Xilu wants to use me as bait to set up a trap to lure Brother Bin. If they are not deceived for a day, then Li Xilu will not kill us. Alas, I can only survive like this. Who knows when it will be!"
At this time, in the living room of the villa above his head, Li Xilu was explaining his plan to Tanlia.
"You are right, Tanlia, Cao Bin and Dong Biao will not compromise. Of course I can see that Luo Lie's proposal is just to create a chance to rescue him, or to warn them both." Without others, Li Xilu also changed to Spanish commonly used by Mexicans. Like most Mexicans, Li Xilu's Spanish is also full of strong Mexican accents. "However, Cao Bin and Dong Biao are not easy to deal with. We controlled Luo Lie and took the initiative on the surface, but at the same time exposed our traces. If Cao Bin and Dong Biao always hide in the dark, it would be a great threat to us."
Tanlia spitted a smoke ring and said, "I understand your intention. Adopted father, you want to use the trick to lure Cao Bin and Dong Biao out and wipe it out in one fell swoop, right?"
Li Xilu suddenly changed to Chinese and said, "Sun Tzu's Art of War says: The superior army attacks the plan, secondly attacks the diplomatic forces, secondly attacks the troops, secondly attacks the troops, and the subordinates attacks the cities, the method of siege is a last resort." After a moment, Li Xilu changed to Spanish and said, "What does it mean? That is to say, the best choice is to fight wits and then negotiate. If we really can't reach an agreement, we will start fighting. We didn't have a feud with Cao Bin and Dong Biao, but we designed to drag them in because we considered that once they intervened in our plan, we would make us extremely passive, so we designed to drag them in. But if we can reach some kind of compromise with them, just like Luo Lie said, "Why do we have to get rid of them?" Tanlia, our strength is not strong, and I don't want to sacrifice the lives of any brother."
Tanlia has pure Mexican blood, but she was raised by Li Xilu with great difficulty.
Thirty years ago, the smuggling boat Li Xilu was riding in a storm on the sea and drifted to Miami. At that time, there was no sign of a city in Miami. Li Xilu was originally a fisherman and could not farm. After landing in Miami, he could only make a living by fishing. Fortunately, the local fishermen were kind, and Li Xilu was diligent in work and fishing skills were reasonable. He gradually gained a foothold in this area and had his own fishing boat.
More than 20 years ago, Mexican opium traders discovered the golden passage for cargo transportation in Miami. However, because the waters are relatively complex and the cargo ships docked at night, the accidents of ships stranding or even sinking often occur. Therefore, for Mexican opium traders, the most lacking is not the ship, but the ship boss who is familiar with the local waters. Tanlia's father, Santos, is a small leader under an opium trader. At the order of the boss, Santos came to Miami. By chance, he met Li Xilu.
Li Xilu was unwilling to be a fisherman for the rest of his life, so he hit it off with Santos. Li Xilu's boat driving skills are indescribable, and he is quite familiar with the nearby waters. The goods transported by him have never had any accidents. But Santos is very thief. When reporting to his boss, an accident will be reported every ten batches of goods on average. A 90% success rate is very gratifying for the boss. At the same time, he also saved the first pot of gold for Santos and Li Xilu.
