Chapter 401 Black

Just a deal.

Nothing happened.

Apart from a series of incomprehensible operations, this transaction was so dull that it felt boring.

You have to get a receipt when you buy a yogurt in the supermarket, but for a transaction worth over ten billion, not a single extra word was spoken.

Everyone was gone, the data had been uploaded, and the KGB had no chance to do anything.

There is no drama, no reversal. Since exposure means complete failure, then don't expose yourself and leave no opportunity for any enemy or potential enemy to take advantage.

Not to mention being caught in the act, you won't even be given the chance to be held accountable. This is what it means to be invincible.

Sherkin was speechless.

Sherkin couldn't help but swear because he felt abandoned by the times and his country was left behind.

The eldest brother cannot accept becoming the youngest brother, just like the eldest brother cannot accept becoming the second brother, let alone the third or fourth brother.

But the patriotism only troubled Sherkin for a very short time, because he soon received a hint.

“It’s in the account!”

With a sigh, Shelkin saw the balance in his account and let out a long breath.

Theoretically, the four hundred million dollars belong to the KGB and the fifty million belongs to Shcherkin. However, how much Shcherkin gives to the KGB is his problem. Gao Yi promises not to say a word more, not to ask, and even not to be curious.

"I have to say, doing business with them is really speechless."

Xie Erjin sighed again, and then he whispered to Gao Yi: "This transaction is a very good start. We will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. Now, let's continue the unfinished transaction."

"Okay, let's continue the transaction."

The deal has not been completed yet, because as part of the deal, Gao Yi needs to give the information on metallic hydrogen to the KGB.

Also, it seems that Sherkin hasn't paid yet.

But Gao Yi was still thinking about Huang Haisheng's request, he whispered: "You heard what the buyer said just now, they want to return all the original data. As the middleman, we'd better urge the seller to implement this matter, what do you think? You just said that there will be opportunities to cooperate again in the future. If something goes wrong in this transaction, there will be no chance in the future."

Sherkin said disapprovingly: "Don't tell me this. Do you think I don't know anything? We are conscientious sellers who provide after-sales service. The most important thing is that the two of us must become reputable and conscientious middlemen."

This statement makes it seem as if Sherkin regards Gao Yi as one of his own, rather than the KGB as his own family.

Gao Yi's heart moved, and he asked, "Have you often done intelligence business before?"

"Actually, I've been a middleman many times, but this is my first time buying and selling intelligence. I'm mainly a mercenary, and this is my first time dealing with a transaction like today."

Xie Erjin was so frank that it was scary, and Gao Yi didn't understand why Xie Erjin was so frank.

"Uh, is this your first time too?"

Gao Yi was still thinking about what to say, but Xie Erjin continued: "Have you found that selling intelligence is much easier than being a mercenary, and also much easier than being a killer? Most importantly, it makes money quickly!"

Putting his hand on Gao Yi's shoulder, Sherkin whispered, "You have the buyer, and I have the supply. We can really cooperate more in the future. We still have many opportunities to trade, such as... just tell me what you want! I used to be in the KGB, and I have many acquaintances in the KGB. As long as Russia has it, we can get it and study it."

This... seems to be possible.

Gao Yi whispered, "These are things for the future. Let's pay the seller first."

"Oh yeah, let's finish the deal first."

Sherkin coughed twice, then he opened the door, nodded to the person guarding outside the door, and then walked back.

After a while, the middle-aged man in his fifties returned to the room. He looked even more nervous, especially after seeing the opened file bag on the table, he was completely stunned.

How will Sherkin deal with this? Will he say that the buyer didn’t want the goods and therefore refuse to pay?
Gao Yi really began to doubt, because Sherkin's face looked very serious and angry.

If he doesn't intend to default on his debt, why does he start performing now?

"The buyer has inspected the goods and confirmed that the information is authentic, so the buyer paid the money."

To Gao Yi's surprise, Sherkin had no intention of defaulting on his debt.

"But why didn't they take the things away?"

"Because it is not necessary, buyers do not have to take the original data away. They have safer and simpler ways to take the data away."

The seller was still surprised, and Sherkin pulled the small bag on his back, opened it, and took out a bag of money from it.

"Here is $100,000. Keep it."

There was no expression on Gao Yi's face.

For the 1.2 billion business, Gao Yi paid 450 million as agreed, Xie Erjin received 450 million and paid 100,000 as agreed.

High, really high.

It’s cruel, it is indeed cruel.

The seller was so excited that he couldn't wait to take the bundle of dollars that Shelkin handed over.

At this time, Sherkin took the opportunity to put his arm around the seller's shoulders.

"You will get every penny less, but..."

The seller looked at Sherkin with some horror. He wanted to get rid of Sherkin's arms but didn't dare.

Sherkin said fiercely, "But do you know what the consequences will be if you suddenly get such a large sum of money?"

"I...I won't say anything nonsense, and I will keep the money carefully and spend it later..."

The seller's voice was trembling.

Xie Erjin patted the auctioneer on the shoulder and continued in a low voice: "Very good, then you don't have to be silenced, but there is still a problem. You stole this information. Although no one has discovered it now, it will be discovered sooner or later. Will you be able to escape by then?"

The seller took a breath and whispered, "I can't care about that anymore."

"You are guarding a treasure trove, but you only plan to make $100,000 and stop there? Is this amount of money enough for you to escape and live abroad? Is it enough for you to immigrate with your whole family?"

"It's not enough, of course it's not enough...but it's enough for my daughter...this is enough."

Sherkin continued, "Listen, if you do what I say, not only will nothing happen this time, but you will also be able to make more money. First, take these things back and put them back the way you stole them. Don't let anyone find out. Can you do that?"

"It's difficult and dangerous, I don't want to do this..."

Looking at Sherkin's stern eyes, the seller swallowed his saliva and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll put it back."

"If you put the things back safely, we can pay you some money. Here you are..."

Sherkin began to look at his bag, but suddenly he looked a little embarrassed, so he immediately said, "I'll give it to you after you put your things back..."

"Twenty thousand dollars."

Gao Yi brought cash with him.

Green was right. It's always useful to carry some cash with you. This is where it comes in handy.

Gao Yi took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms. Twenty thousand US dollars, it was really a thick stack.

Gao Yi put the money on the table in front of the seller. Sherkin held the money with his hand and whispered, "You can pay me when you're done, or I can give it to you now. What do you want?"

"I want it now."

The seller looked like an honest man, but Gao Yi had just made this judgment in his mind when he suddenly realized that since the seller could do such a thing, it meant that he was definitely not as honest as he looked.

Xie Erjin must have thought of this earlier than Gao Yi, so he put one hand on the money and the other on the seller's shoulder, and said gloomily: "If you want it now, we will give it to you now, but do you know why we dare to give it to you now? Because we know everything about you, you should understand."

"I understand. Of course I understand."

The seller looked at the open file bags on the table and suddenly said, "Can't these opened ones be destroyed instead of being sent back? It would be troublesome if someone finds out. It's better not to take them at all. If a few are missing, it won't be discovered."

"Put it back. Someone will restore it to its original state and send it back to you. Then you can put it back to its original place. Don't lose any of it."

"Okay, okay."

It was certainly not difficult for the KGB to repair several opened archive bags.

Sherkin whispered, "When will it be done?"

"Very soon, two days at most."

"Is the management of the Security File Storage Center so lax now? Well, this is good news. We will have a chance to cooperate again in the future. I will raise your price next time. Bring your money and these things, and someone will send you back."

Sherkin let go of the hand that was holding the money, and then he stared at the seller with a fierce look in Russian style, and said viciously: "We will keep an eye on you. If you do well, you will get more money in the future. If you don't do well, your whole family will end up at the bottom of the lake. Remember my words well, and let's go!"

The seller left, taking his money and two large bags of original materials.

The door closed again.

Xie Erjin took a long breath, then he looked at Gao Yi, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "One hundred thousand dollars is the price he asked for. This person... this kind of person, you can't give them too much money. There is no need, and it's not safe."

"Ah."

Gao Yi just nodded. He didn't need Sherkin to explain anything.

"But this person is very valuable. He can get more useful things. You can see that he is easy to satisfy and easy to control. Moreover, we don't have to consider such things. The KGB will certainly do everything well."

"Ok, I know."

One hundred thousand dollars, one hundred thousand.

Gao Yi was overwhelmed with emotions, but he didn't know what to say, so he whispered, "It's not necessarily a good thing for a small person to get too much money."

"Yes, with $100,000, he can live happily. With $1 million, someone will start to worry about his money. With $10 million, believe me, he will definitely not survive the night. No, let me correct you, with $1 million, he will not survive the night either."

After correcting his judgment, Sherkin chuckled and said, "Then, the last step is to complete the deal with the KGB, and then we can leave."
