Chapter 102 The Pattern Opens
What else can I say?

If you were cheated, you were cheated, and Gao Yi was counting on his friend Martin to help him get his things and face back, so just admit it.

“Yes, we were deceived.”

Gao Yi openly admitted that he had been cheated, and then he said calmly: "I was careless. Fortunately, I didn't lose anything important, but it was only because the things were not important that I left them in the car. Now we are..."

After looking around, Gao Yi didn't see any road signs. He was about to ask Luca to ask where this place was, but he heard the person on the phone say, "I know where you are. Scammers often use that place to defraud people. Wait for me, I'll pick you up."

The phone hangs up.

Luca said helplessly: "How can you admit that you were cheated? How do you say it?"

"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news."

Gao Yi sighed and said, "The bad news is that this is really embarrassing. The good news is that this guy knows where we are and will come to pick us up soon."

Luca sighed.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, just when Gao Yi felt that he was about to have heatstroke, an inconspicuous old car stopped in front of the three of them.

A Toyota Land Cruiser, which is very common in Baghdad.

The car window was rolled down, and a middle-aged man in his forties looked at Gao Yi without saying a word, but just waved his hand.

Gao Yi and his friends got into the car quickly, and the life-saving air conditioning saved three lives again.

The driver quietly opened the refrigerator lid, took out a bottle of water and handed it to Gao Yi, then took out two more bottles. After waiting for Lin Xianghua and Luca to take them, he whispered, "I'm Greens, Martin is my former colleague."

Gao Yi drank all the water in one breath. He started to sweat profusely, even though he hadn't sweated at all when he was outside in the scorching heat.

Wiping the sweat off his face, Gao Yi whispered, "Thank you."

Greens silently picked up another bottle of water, handed it to Gao Yi, and turned his head slightly to the two people behind him and said, "Get it yourself."

Greens was about to turn around, and Luca quickly said, "Excuse me, can you help ask these soldiers? They must be in cahoots with that liar."

Greens paused for a moment, and after hearing Luca's words, he continued to turn the steering wheel and drove out, but he did not stop at all. Naturally, it was impossible for him to ask on behalf of Gao Yi and the others.

When the car started moving again, Greens said in a low voice: "They are not in the same group, but the scammers will give them benefits, and I don't have the power to order them, so there is no need to ask."

Gao Yi whispered: "Dead liar!"

Luca gritted his teeth and said, "All liars deserve to die."

Greens smiled slightly and said, "If you don't try to get something for nothing, you won't be fooled."

Gao Yi said helplessly: "We are not trying to get a bargain. The liar asked for 240 yuan for a day's ride, and I offered him 300 yuan."

Greens turned his head to look at Gao Yi and said, "A one-way trip from the airport to the Green Zone costs one hundred dollars, and a chartered car starts at one thousand dollars, which makes three hundred dollars a day. Isn't that cheap?"

Gao Yi was speechless and Luca was dumbfounded.

Greens continued: "There are at least several scammers like this active at the airport. They offer low prices and high-quality services, and they target people who come to Baghdad for the first time. They work as drivers for others, but it is certainly not as good as taking all the money at once."

Gao Yi really didn't know what to say, and Greens seemed to have some bad thoughts because they were deceived, such as questioning their abilities or something.

Seeing that the three people had nothing to say, Greens continued: "I can take you into the green zone, but the rest depends on you."

Gao Yi knew that this was a request for money, so he quietly opened the bag, took out a stack of banknotes, and handed it directly to Greens, whispering, "This is what we agreed on, please accept it."

Greens actually hesitated for at least ten seconds, and then hesitantly took the money handed over by Gao Yi with his left hand.

Looking at the way he collected the money, you can tell that Greens had definitely never done this before.

He was in his forties, about the same age as Martin.

Transferred from the FBI to the Department of Homeland Security, and then from the Department of Homeland Security to the newly established intelligence department of the Pentagon, this means that Greens's rank cannot be high, he is at the bottom, he wasted too much time when he was transferred between several units, so he has no power, no money, and he is not doing well. Since those soldiers are in collusion with the scammers, if Greens was doing well, he could have taken the things back directly just now.

But Greens didn't even ask, which means he knew it would be useless to say anything, so he just didn't want to lose face.

Another small character wasting time at the bottom of society. He usually doesn't even have the chance to collect money, and it is very likely that he would not dare to collect money even if he had it.

From the small action of collecting money, Luca made a quick judgment, and then he felt that Greens was useless.

If it were someone else, someone with some power, he would definitely show his strength and skills at this time, and one phone call would be enough to make the scammer return the bag.

Forget it, I have to rely on myself for this trip to Baghdad. The people Martin found are of no use, and Greens is a waste.

But Luca would definitely not say these words, his EQ is not that low.

Perhaps Greens' greatest role was to bring Gao Yi and the others into the Green Zone, because after showing an ID, he really drove Gao Yi and the others in.

They found a hotel. The conditions were not very good, but the price was quite affordable. Of course, Gao Yi and his friends paid for it themselves. After doing all this, Greens left decisively. In Luca's opinion, Greens had the word incompetence written all over his face.

So after entering the room, Luca said decisively: "This person is no good. Ten thousand dollars is wasted. Fuck, it's completely wasted."

Gao Yi looked at Luca and asked in confusion: "What?"

Luca explained his judgment in detail, and then he made a summary.

"Greens is not capable. He is just a small character and can't help us at all. Giving him money is a waste."

Lin Xianghua became even more frustrated after hearing this. He said with a bitter face, "That means I can't find my things back."

Gao Yi was indeed not in a hurry to speak, he was lost in thought.

Luca had to raise his voice and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Gao Yi exhaled and said, "It's too little!"

Luca was stunned, Lin Xianghua was puzzled, and Gao Yi looked at the two of them and said excitedly: "If it is true as you said, Greens is just a frustrated middle-aged man, a small character wandering around at the bottom, isn't that better?"

Luca asked anxiously, "What are you thinking? Is there anything wrong with your brain? This is obviously a waste, how can it be a good opportunity?"

Gao Yi said excitedly: "It's like heating up a cold stove, dragging a good family into trouble, giving a hopeless low-level person a chance to make money, isn't this a good opportunity? If Greens had seen big money, would he still take us seriously? But since he is a small person with no chance to make money, we who can give him money are his bread and butter!"

Luca said blankly: "Your perspective is unique, but it's useless to him. He has no ability! Even if you ask him to treat you as his real father, what will happen?"

"The layout is smaller."

Gao Yi waved his hand and smiled at Luca, "I remembered a story. It was about two salesmen from a shoe factory who went to a tropical island to sell shoes. After one of the salesmen arrived, he immediately called the company and said in frustration that the island could be abandoned because no one on the island wore shoes."

After a pause, Gao Yi continued with a smile, "The other salesman excitedly called the company and said, 'Great, people on this island have no shoes to wear, this market is huge, and it's a blank market. Do you understand this story?'"

Luka gasped.

Gao Yi nodded and said seriously, "Is Greens really incompetent? If he is really incompetent, he would not be favored by the three intelligence agencies. Then he is a blank market with no consumption habits. We need to cultivate him. Not only do we need to cultivate the market, we also need to instill brand awareness in him."

Luca exhaled softly and said, "You are such a...good businessman."

"Greens himself is not good enough, but does he have any colleagues or friends who are good enough? Does he have any supervisors who are willing to make quick money? We don't have any connections, but we can find them through Greens."

Luca nodded silently.

Gao Yi chuckled and said, "Even if he is just a stepping stone, as long as he is short of money and wants to make money after training him, then the rest will be easy, right?"

Lin Xianghua whispered: "The boss is indeed the boss."

Gao Yi patted Luca on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's open up the situation. Prepare $20,000 tonight, invite Greens to dinner, and then go all out to attack him. Go ahead, trust me, it's right."
