Chapter 399 Bar
Chapter 399 Bar
Meet at the subway station at 11pm.
So far everything has been going smoothly. The KGB is willing to cooperate and provide convenience, but the danger lies after the transaction, so the current smooth progress is not reliable.
I don’t know how Luo Changyou will arrange it.
Gao Yi was unable to see Luo Changyou's arrangements, but as a middleman, it was reasonable for him to ensure the safety of the transaction, rather than asking the buyer to ensure his safety as the middleman.
So Gao Yi has to recognize his position.
"The time and place of the transaction have been roughly determined. How will you inspect the goods? How long will the inspection take? What equipment will be needed for the inspection? Are you ready for these?"
Inspecting the goods is the key to the success of the transaction, and Gao Yi must ask clearly first.
Luo Changyou said confidently: "We have everything ready. I am not sure how long it will take. It depends on the type of information. I think it will take no more than an hour."
one hour.
In the movies, inspecting the goods requires just a quick glance, but in real life, it takes more than just a quick glance.
This time, the buyer sent three experts to inspect the goods. This alone showed his trust in Gao Yi, because if anything happened to these three people, it would be a huge loss.
"I asked the seller to provide a place where I can inspect the goods. We can't do the transaction on the street, but I don't know where this place is. The seller is also very cautious, so you have to be mentally prepared. If there is really a problem, it is better to cancel the transaction."
Gao Yi was still cautious. He warned Luo Changyou that the deal might fail, but Luo Changyou just said calmly, "Of course, safety first."
"Yes, safety first. When the time comes, I will drive a car to the subway station to meet the middleman first. You will bring the experts to follow from a distance. Don't get too close. Wait for my notice. When I think the environment is safe, you can bring people to inspect the goods. Is this arrangement okay?"
Luo Changyou had no objection, he just made a suggestion.
"Don't use radios like walkie-talkies. It's more troublesome to make a phone call, but it's still better to make a phone call."
"Okay, call, no need for radio, we don't carry radios anymore, do you provide the car or do I have to find one myself."
Gao Yi's identity in Moscow was a tourist on a group tour. He didn't have a car, but it was certainly not difficult to find one.
Luo Changyou said without hesitation: "I will provide you with a car. Do you need anything else? For example, weapons or some special props, I can provide them here."
Weapons, this is interesting.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any special weapons or equipment that others don't have, or that are particularly powerful?"
Luo Changyou couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's true. In order to erase the characteristics, we actually used something without any characteristics. In this way, it can't be particularly rare, let alone have any special features."
It was obvious that Gao Yi wanted to take advantage, but since Luo Changyou didn't have any special equipment, there was no point in him coming.
The time is quite long, but this kind of transaction cannot be done right away, so Luo Changyou has to get busy now.
Before nine o'clock, Luo Changyou had completed the arrangements, and then he gave Gao Yi a car, a very ordinary sedan.
If Gao Yi is also the kind of intelligence dealer middleman who does everything by himself, then he has to go and check out some places first, at least to figure out the route and take a look at the environment, so that he knows which direction to run and which route to take if something goes wrong.
But Gao Yi now relies on relationships and personal deals, and has sufficient connections and networks to ensure his safety. If something really happens, he doesn't need to run away because he can't escape.
So Gao Yi simply took a break and waited until after ten o'clock before going out. He split his troops into two groups and didn't need to worry about how Luo Changyou arranged the experts. He just had to get to the destination.
We arrived at the place at about eleven o'clock.
The subway station is located on a busy street. It was already late at night, and there were fewer people on the street. However, the subway station had several entrances and exits, and parking was not allowed. It was a bit troublesome for Gao Yi to arrive five minutes early.
There is no place to park the car, so parking it directly next to the road would be too conspicuous.
Then Gao Yi didn't know where Luo Changyou and the experts who were inspecting the goods were. Anyway, he didn't notice any car following them along the way.
After thinking about it, Gao Yi called Xie Erjin. After the call was connected, he said directly: "I'm here, five minutes early. Where are you?"
"You're here too early. Go back along the way and then go to Exit A of the subway."
The phone hangs up.
Gao Yi had no choice but to drive away, drive around on the road, then turn back, control the speed and stop on the roadside near Exit A of the subway station without missing a second.
Gao Yi saw Xie Erjin, who had just gotten out of a car and was standing on the side of the road. He didn't look into the car, but directly opened the door that Gao Yi opened and sat on the back seat.
"Let's go, catch up with the car in front, just follow it. Is the buyer here? Is the money ready?"
Gao Yi was sitting in the back seat. He looked at Xie Erjin and noticed that Xie Erjin was carrying a small bag and his face was full of fatigue, as if he was a little sick. "Everything is ready. I have to tell the buyer where we are going."
"I do not know either."
Sherkin exhaled, and then he whispered: "Anyway, it's fine as long as it's safe. You asked for a place to inspect the goods, so they had to temporarily change the trading venue, so just follow the car in front."
As a middleman, Sherkin could not make decisions for the seller, and he obviously did not fully understand the situation.
"You promise there won't be any problems with this transaction?"
Although he knew it was nonsense, Gao Yi couldn't help but ask.
But Sherkin was quite confident. Besides, he must have known that the KGB's business reputation was not very good, and his understanding was much deeper than Gao Yi's.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem because I have arranged to delay the payment a little. As long as they haven't received the money, there won't be any problem."
It seems that Sherkin is much more cautious than Gao Yi, and he has made corresponding preparations.
By now, Gao Yi realized that he and Xie Erjin were truly in the same boat, because if there was a real problem, the seller would look for Xie Erjin, and the buyer would look for him, Gao Yi. In the end, the two middlemen would be the first to suffer.
Sherkin said seriously, "No matter what you see later, you must keep your mouth shut. I paid a huge price to get the KGB to agree to wait until we reach Baghdad before paying the full amount. Now I am not sure what will happen, but I warn you, no matter what you see, don't say anything, especially about money. Can you do that?"
"can."
Gao Yi began to suspect that Xie Erjin had taken the biggest share in this deal, but it didn't matter. He had no objection even if Xie Erjin took it all for himself, as long as Xie Erjin could ensure that the deal could be completed.
The reason why Xie Erjin reminded Gao Yi here was probably because he was worried that he could not hide it, so he simply reminded Gao Yi in advance.
Sherkin continued, "It's not just you, the buyers have to understand the rules too. If you can't, just say hello to the buyers first and ask them not to talk nonsense."
Before Gao Yi could speak, Green suddenly said, "The buyers know the rules very well. No one knows how to be a good buyer better than them."
Sherkin exhaled and said, "Yes, well, that's fine. As long as everyone abides by the rules, this transaction will go smoothly. The price I paid to ensure the safety of the transaction was too high. My losses were huge, very huge."
Sherkin is not a talkative person, but now he has mentioned several times that his losses were huge. It seems that he really lost a lot of money.
The car following in front stopped in the parking lot in front of a bar.
"bar?"
The neon lights were flashing, the name of the bar was Moscow Red, and there were a lot of cars parked in the parking lot, but it was not full yet, so there were many empty spaces.
The car in front stopped in the parking lot, and Green drove in and parked his car.
Green said calmly, "It's normal, a good choice. Contact the buyer and ask if they are following. If not, tell them the location. Don't rush to get off the car."
Gao Yi dialed Luo Changyou's number. The call was connected, but it was Huang Haisheng who spoke.
"We're at the door of the bar, where are you?"
Gao Yi was slightly surprised. He saw a car following into the parking lot and stopping some distance away from him.
Huang Haisheng used normal words to inform Gao Yi that he was following.
Gao Yi looked at Xie Erjin and said, "The buyer is following. What should we do next? Where should we go to inspect the goods?"
"It's right here, let the buyers follow, it's safe here, nothing will go wrong."
Xie Erjin was very confident. Gao Yi hung up the phone and asked, "Why?"
"Because this place is run by the KGB, they chose to trade here, which means they have no intention of playing tricks. You have to understand that I paid a heavy price. Let them wait, and we will go in first."
Sherkin did not believe in the credibility of the KGB, but he believed that the KGB would never play tricks before receiving the money. This was the source of his confidence.
Gao Yi got out of the car, then he nodded to the car driven by Huang Haisheng. At this time, two people got out of the car that brought them here.
Two people walked towards Gao Yi and Sherkin, and one of them smiled casually and said, "This is the best bar in Moscow. You will definitely have a great time tonight. Come in."
It looked like the locals entertaining their friends, quite normal.
No one said anything else and walked towards the bar normally. Then, Gao Yi found that they had to pass through the security gate before entering the bar. However, when they went in, the security gate didn't even make a sound and they entered the bar smoothly.
