758 Creation of gods
In the mouth of selfishness, no matter what they do, there is always a suitable reason to find it.
Like the history of the Chinese, the "Russian traitors" in Russian history are also endless, after all, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and now Russia has a population of at least 100 million, ranking third in the world in terms of population, second only to the Qing Dynasty and the United Kingdom, which counts the population of the colonies, so many people, it is not too easy to find a few suitable agents, and there are many Russians in New York.
"There are some Russians under the handsless hands, I heard Wushuang say, those Russians are irritable and alcoholic, it is better to pick a few clever ones and send them back to Russia." Situ Lei had the same idea as Li Mu.
Now New York is a hodgepodge, adventurers from all over the world want to come to New York to try their luck, for these adventurers, the country, the nation or something is a floating cloud, they are animals that live purely for profit, as long as Li Mu gives enough benefits, they can sell their souls to Li Mu.
"Good idea, let Wushuang pick a few people and send them over, New York is a city full of miracles, and millionaires are being made in batches every day, let's also make one by ourselves and see if something can happen." Li Mu finally found something fun, and he was tired of making money, so he might as well make a god to play.
Chu Wushuang's efficiency is quite high, and he personally sent a list the next day, after Chu Wushuang's primary selection, a total of three suitable candidates were found, and the best thing is that these three people are not official employees of Springfield Company, they can only be regarded as peripheral personnel of Springfield Company, which saves a lot of potential trouble, at least their background can withstand investigation.
"Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov, 32 years old this year, a native of St. Petersburg, it is said that he still has relatives in St. Petersburg, Ivan left Russia ten years ago, immigrated to New York from Paris the year before last, Ivan was cut off his hamstrings in a street conflict, and since then he can only do some matchmaking pimp business, and occasionally sell some intelligence or something, this person has courage, and he is quite clever, people like him, if they were replaced by other Russians, I am afraid that they would have drunk to death long ago-" Chu Wushuang just introduced the first one, Li Mu chose the target.
"It's him-" Li Mu didn't have the heart to look at them one by one, since he was a god, he couldn't pick and choose, and it was fate to be the first to be introduced by Chu Wushuang, anyway, it was the same for Li Mu, even if the other party was a dog, as long as Li Mu was willing, it would be a "divine dog".
"Uh-" Chu Wushuang was a little stunned, to be honest, Ivan was not the most suitable person on the list, but since Li Mu had already decided, Chu Wushuang would no longer talk nonsense.
New York is indeed a city full of miracles, and Ivan feels that what happened to him during this time is a miracle.
Originally, Ivan felt that his life was full of gloom and there was no hope, although it seemed that he could go on every day, but Ivan knew very well in his heart that he could almost foresee his future now, maybe it was the basement of the hotel, maybe it was the dark bridge hole, if there was no miracle, Ivan would die quietly in that kind of place, and then be carried into a carriage by the corpse keeper and thrown into a tomb in the suburbs.
There won't even be a tombstone—
No one knew that there was once a man named Ivan in this world, no one remembered him, no one missed him, and Ivan's relatives in St. Petersburg would not even know that Ivan had died in New York, and Ivan had seen too many of these things.
God said, "As long as you have good thoughts, miracles will always happen."
Ivan is a devout Orthodox Christian, and every week, Ivan goes to church to pray, not only for the fate of the soul, but also in the hope that a miracle will happen to him.
Maybe God really heard Ivan's voice, and the boss of the street where Ivan was located, Greyhound, told Ivan that the boss of his boss wanted to see him, and Ivan couldn't figure out how big the boss's boss was, but Ivan knew that his luck had come.
Before meeting the boss, Greyhound gave Ivan a lottery ticket and told Ivan to claim his prize.
There is no problem with the lottery, produced by Corbyn, sold throughout New England, guaranteed by the New York City government, if the number is correct, with the lottery ticket, it can be exchanged for 10,000 dollars in Corbyn, Ivan used to buy lottery tickets, but never won, Ivan always thought that he was unlucky, and now he knows that it is not bad luck, but no luck at all.
Ivan decided never to buy lottery tickets again.
Ten thousand dollars can do a lot, Ivan went to the men's clothing store to buy a three-piece suit for the season, a pair of handmade leather shoes made of Italian calfskin, got a hairstyle from the best barber in Manhattan, and rented a BMW car from a rental car company, and then came to the office of the Horse Arms Company in Battery Park.
Yes, this is the Greyhound's request again, Ivan doesn't know why the big boss chose to see him in this place, Greyhounds didn't explain, Ivan didn't dare to ask, Ivan knew very well that he didn't have a choice, Ivan knew this from the moment Greyhound found himself.
Although I don't know who the series of bosses of Greyhound is, Ivan knows that Greyhound is a person from Springfield Company, and he is different, Greyhound is a regular employee of Springfield Company, although he is still not eligible to participate in the year-end party of Springfield Company, but Greyhound is already the boss on the street where he lives, thinking of the relationship between Springfield Company and Junma Group, Ivan once thought that he might meet the legendary "city boss", but unfortunately, Ivan did not have that luck after all, The person who wanted to see him was Chu, the boss of the Springfield Company, although this was slightly different from Ivan's expectations, but it was enough for Ivan to be excited.
"Ivan, I'm glad you're here, do you know why I'm looking for you?" Chu Wushuang's attitude was kind, but this did not make Ivan feel like a spring breeze, thinking of various legends about Chu Wushuang, Ivan felt that his breathing was a little short.
Fortunately, being able to be selected by Chu Wushuang, Ivan naturally has merit, once Ivan was also fighting at the joint, and he has seen a lot of big scenes, in the face of Chu Wushuang's powerful aura, Ivan took a deep breath and shook his head honestly.
Ivan really doesn't know why Chu Wushuang is looking for him, this kind of thing is not good to guess rashly, or honestly admit that there is no need to play with his heart in front of a person like Chu Wushuang, any independent behavior may be considered self-inflicted, and then maybe he will lose his hard-won opportunity.
"You are Russian, I heard that your home is in St. Petersburg, do you still have relatives at home?" Chu Wushuang motioned for Ivan to sit down, opened the cigar box on the table, and handed Ivan a top-grade Havana handmade cigar, this thing is rare now, the annual production is extremely limited, most of it is divided by the big shots, only a very small number enter the market, Ivan must not be able to touch it, just the price of such a cigar is enough for Ivan to live for a month.
Taking the cigar, Ivan felt that his hands were trembling, and he barely pressed his mood, Ivan did not forget to answer Chu Wushuang's question: "Yes boss, I am from St. Petersburg, I left St. Petersburg ten years ago, when I still had my mother at home, and two younger brothers and three younger sisters, it's a pity, I don't know their current situation, you know, the situation in Russia is not good, they may still be there, maybe-"
Speaking of which, even if Ivan thinks he is strong enough, he still can't help but feel gloomy, when he left home, Ivan also fantasized about returning home in fine clothes, so that his mother and younger siblings can live a good life, but unfortunately, with the passage of time, this fantasy has become less and less, especially after being cut off the hamstring, in the past year, Ivan feels that he is about to forget his home and relatives in St. Petersburg, not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare to think about it.
"Poor fellow, they don't care how much money you make, they just want to know how you're doing, listen to me, and send them a telegram later, telling them that you are in New York, that you are fine now, and that it won't be long before you go back to St. Petersburg to see them." Once, Chu Wushuang's situation was similar to Ivan's, everyone had similar experiences, and Chu Wushuang could understand Ivan's mood.
"Okay, I'll send a telegram later-" Ivan's eyes widened, his eyes were bloodshot, it seemed that he hadn't slept well these nights, and the sudden summons had caused Ivan a lot of confusion.
"Look at this, sign your name, by the way, will you write your name? If you don't, you can press your mudra. Chu Wushuang didn't explain much, and handed Ivan a document casually.
"I don't know how to write my name, but I have my fingerprint." Ivan took the document and was very smart not to ask what was written on it, even if it was a deed of sale, Ivan had no choice, not to mention, Ivan didn't think he could sell it for much money.
"Then you have to practice, at least learn to write your own name, and you will use it a lot in the future." Chu Wushuang pointed to the document in Ivan's hand, and handed Ivan a box of ink: "This is a consignment contract of the Horse Weapons Company, I know you will wonder why you gave this to you, remember, this is what you bought from the Horse Weapons Company at a high price, and you will return to St. Petersburg in a few days, and then, you will do what an arms dealer should do, you have the same rights as other agents of the Horse Weapons Company, to obtain weapons from the Horse Weapons Company at the factory price, and then sell them to your customers at a reasonable profit, as for the profit, It's all yours, no matter how much you earn, if you do well enough, I will tell you how to repay me, if you don't do well enough, then you will lose your agent qualification, now understand? ”
It is impossible to expect Chu Wushuang to explain this matter clearly, but fortunately, Chu Wushuang has his own way, and in the face of a gangster like Ivan, Chu Wushuang's way is more effective.
"Consignment contract-" Ivan felt a little dry in his throat, his eyes jumped uncontrollably, this document in front of him, it is said that someone is willing to pay a million dollars to buy, take this document to any country in Europe, and immediately become a guest of honor of the Ministry of Defense, if you can get popular weapons such as naval rapid-fire guns, and even be qualified to have dinner with the king, it is said that since the establishment of the Horse Arms Company, it has always been self-produced and sold, and there has never been a foreign development of sellers, if Ivan is willing, Take this contract and go to any bank, and you can get a million-dollar loan in no time.
Of course, in addition to being excited, Ivan was also a little worried, rights and obligations are always equal, how much benefit there is, how much risk there is, the more benefits Chu Wushuang gives Ivan now, it means that the more rewards Chu Wushuang asks for in the future.
Well, these worries were fleeting and didn't stay in Ivan's mind at all, so what if there was a risk? Can Ivan refuse?
No!
Since you can't, then accept it with peace of mind.
Not everyone is qualified to refuse Chu Wushuang, if it is only the Springfield Company, it is fine, after all, the Springfield Company's sphere of influence is limited to the New England region, or the expansion point can go to the entire United States, the problem is that Chu Wushuang still stands behind Li Mu, there is a legend in New York, it is said that the last city owner of New York, Tweed, fled to Spain after the fall, and successfully obtained the asylum of the Spanish royal family, although the New York City Government issued a wanted warrant for Tweed, but there has been no news of Tweed over the years, some gossip revealed, Tweed had already died, but the Spanish royal family did not announce it for the sake of face, and as for the cause of death, no one knows.
The rumors did not say that Tweed's death had anything to do with Li Mu, and it was because of this that this matter was given a more mysterious color, if it wasn't okay, if it was, then how big would Li Mu's power be?
Ivan didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't imagine it, but Ivan knew very well that if Ivan dared to refuse when Chu Wushuang asked for a return, then no matter where Ivan was in the world, Chu Wushuang's people would find him, and even if Chu Wushuang's people couldn't find it, Li Mu could find him.
Seeing Ivan pressing his fingerprints upright, Chu Wushuang became more and more kind: "Go ahead, enjoy the life of New York, I booked you a room at the Castle Clinton Hotel, using your own name, before leaving New York, I hope your memory of New York is not just a dark sewer, New York has a lot of things worth enjoying." ”
It is really to enjoy, in the past few years in New York, or even the previous years, since leaving St. Petersburg, Ivan's surroundings have been full of violence, and he has never enjoyed a moment of peace, and sometimes Ivan has even forgotten what normal life looks like.
Leaving the Horse Arms Company and standing on the steps in front of the company building, looking up at the bright sunshine, Ivan felt the tips of his hair cheering.
At this time, a young blonde beauty passed by Ivan, she may be a staff member of the headquarters of the Horse Weapons Company, or a customer of the Horse Weapons Company, it doesn't matter, before, such a beauty would not look at Ivan, but now, Ivan was surprised to find that the blonde beauty actually gave himself a friendly smile.
This smile made Ivan feel his nose sour.
