Chapter 444 A Fish is Hooked
Sun Saner saw the man had shifty eyes, a thin body, and acted stealthily, and he knew that he was not a good person.
"What's the origin?"
"Captain Sun, I've long heard of your name. I'm Lanlong, the captain of the Anyang branch of the Black Hawk Gang!"
To say that Lazy Dragon is just a nickname, he was originally Zhang Bao. When he was young, his parents died and he became an orphan, so he began to wander around the world and learned some sneaky skills.
Because he admired the famous thief "Lazy Dragon" in the Ming Dynasty, he simply changed his name to Lazy Dragon, and carved a seal with a bunch of plum blossoms for himself as his own token, calling himself "A Plum Blossom".
"So it's Captain Lazy Dragon. I've heard that you guys did a good job under the Japanese."
Lazy Dragon couldn't help but feel proud when talking about this. After all, it was not easy to run their Anyang branch so successfully in the Japanese's territory.
In fact, only he himself knows the reason.
"Oh, it's all thanks to the help of my brothers in the gang! I came here today to discuss cooperation with Brother Sun, a business that will make me rich!"
When Sun Saner heard this, he thought that the business that Lazy Dragon could propose was definitely not something that could be seen by the public.
"Brother Lazy, please tell me quickly. Although we have many brothers in Pingshun Branch, the expenses are also high! Every day when I open my eyes, there are hundreds of brothers waiting with their mouths open for food. It's difficult!"
Lazy Dragon looked around suspiciously. There were only about a dozen men with black fans and pistols. Where did hundreds of people come from?
"Brother Sun, do you really have hundreds of people?"
Sun Saner straightened his body and leaned back in the chair.
"How could it be false? The dozen or so you see are all my direct disciples, plus the fifty or sixty outer disciples, that's seventy or eighty in total. These disciples have also recruited disciples for me!"
Sun Saner looked at the brand new Mauser pistols on everyone's body and almost believed it. He didn't expect that Sanlaizi, who was always a peripheral member, could do so well!
After all, Pingshun was right under the nose of the Independent Column, and the crackdown was severe. There was no one in the so-called Pingshun branch, and even no one was willing to be the leader.
If you don't do your job well, you won't get any benefits.
You have done a great job and your performance is too good. As the tree is too big, it attracts the wind and you are just waiting to be wiped out by the independent column.
Therefore, the position of the helmsman of the Pingshun branch fell to Sun Saner. Otherwise, with his ugly appearance, even if he worked until he was seventy or eighty years old, he would probably not be able to become the helmsman.
But Lazy Dragon was different. He went to Anyang and made a small fortune by relying on his craft.
Then he started to recruit disciples and branch out. In less than a year, he had unified the pickpocket business in Anyang and became the president of a pickpocket association.
In the end, he got involved with the puppet army and the Japanese devils, and half took the path of a traitor.
Lazy Dragon took out a stack of border area tickets from his pocket, placed them gently on the table, then deftly pinched a thin piece with two fingers and shook it in the air.
"Brother Sun, let's do the business of border area tickets!"
Sun Saner's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally fell back into his stomach, and then began beating wildly.
He, Jiang Taigong, finally caught the fish, but whether it was a big fish or a small fish is still debatable!
Sun Saner took a deep breath quietly and calmed himself down.
"Brother Lazy, I'm not sure what kind of business this is."
"Hahaha, Brother Sun, stop playing dumb! Let's cooperate. I'll provide the border area tickets, and you'll be responsible for exchanging them for RMB, and then you can go buy goods or directly exchange them for gold!"
Sun Saner took the stack of border area tickets in his hand, rubbed and observed them repeatedly, and looked at them over and over again, but he couldn't tell whether they were real or fake.
"Brother Sun, stop looking! Although these banknotes have some minor flaws, even if the Border Bank gets these banknotes, they won't be able to tell the real Monkey King from the fake one!"
"Okay, how do you sell these?"
"Seventy percent!"
"Four percent!"
"Sixty percent! No less!"
"Fifty percent! I'll take as many as you can get!"
"make a deal!"
Sun Saner and Lanlong held hands tightly, both of them were ecstatic.
"Brother Sun, do you really want as many as you can?!"
Sun Saner clapped his hands, and his younger brothers carried out five or six large boxes from the inner room. There were silver dollars and gold bars, which made Lanlong's eyes widen and his saliva flow.
"Brother Lazy, do you think I have the strength?"
"Brother Sun, I remember that when you started your business here in Pingshun a few years ago, your starting point was very low. How come you have become so successful now?"
"Hey, don't we have some connections in the army's warehouse? We can bring some goods out from time to time, so we have accumulated a small fortune. It's nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about!"
Sun Saner retracted his chin slightly, shook his head gently, and showed a pretentious expression.
Sun Saner was just talking nonsense, but although the speaker was unintentional, the listener took it seriously.
Lazy Dragon looked at the brand new Mauser pistol and the boxes of silver dollars and gold bars carried by Sun Saner's little brother, and it was hard for him not to believe it.
"Brother Sun, no wonder you've become rich. In this world, arms are much more in short supply than other materials! Do you think there's a chance for us to work together again?"
Now the initiative is completely in Sun Saner's hands.
He hasn't figured out the number of counterfeit bills in Lazy Dragon's hand yet, so he doesn't dare to act rashly. If it's just a small shrimp, it would be a waste of time.
"Cooperation? It's not impossible, but do you know how expensive these weapons are? Just this Mauser pistol costs two hundred dollars. Do you have the ability to do that?"
"Brother Sun, you are looking down on me, aren't you? I have as many border area tickets as you want on this table! I'm just afraid you can't finish them all!"
Sun Saner looked at Lan Long's confident expression which didn't seem fake, but he also showed a look of disbelief.
"Oh, let's not talk about this, drink tea!"
After saying that, he picked up the teacup and glanced at Lazy Dragon out of the corner of his eye.
How could Lazy Dragon have the heart to drink tea now? His mind was full of silver dollars and gold bars. He stood up with a bang and slapped his thigh!
"Oh, my dear Brother Sun, why don't you believe me? Let me tell you this, the big warehouse is full of Border Region banknotes, and the machine spits out banknotes every day like spitting!"
When Sun Saner heard this, the hand holding the teacup shook slightly, and then slowly put it down: It’s almost the same as what Commander Wang said, it seems to be almost correct!
"Hey, our munitions are not food. Even if we can't sell them after transporting them out, we can still keep them at home to fill our stomachs! If we take these munitions out, we can't use them as firewood!"
Lazy Dragon gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.
"Let's go for it! Brother Sun, get ready. I'll take you to see the big boss tomorrow. But you have to make sure you can spend the money!"
"Given my strength, you still don't believe it?"
