Chapter 402 Cruel
Chapter 402 Cruel
The transaction is just one step away from completion.
It doesn’t matter to Gao Yi how much money Sherkin pays to the KGB. As long as Gao Yi’s intelligence is given, that’s it.
This time, the person who came in was finally replaced.
A white man who looks a bit like Daniel Craig. He is not too old, at most in his early thirties. He has thin lips and sharp lines on his face. He looks very powerful.
He looks a bit like the latest actor who plays 007.
He walked into the room expressionlessly, pulled out a chair and sat down on it, then didn't say a word. After looking back and forth at Xie Erjin and Gao Yi, the man who came in stretched out his hand and gestured to speak.
Silent, cold, stern, and vicious, this man is too ordinary to be a big shot.
Sherkin spoke first.
"The transaction went smoothly. It's just that you need to reseal these opened documents and put them back."
Sherkin placed the opened file bag in front of Craig.
Well, Craig is the code name Gao Yi gave to this KGB guy, for no other reason than that they look alike.
"can."
Craig spoke up, and then he put the portfolio aside.
Sherkin sighed and said, "Wait for me..."
“But it costs extra.”
Sherkin's words were blocked in his mouth.
Craig looked at Sherkin and said calmly but firmly: "We want 200 million!"
Here he comes, here he comes, here he comes with the temporary price increase!
But Sherkin is really evil!
The KGB temporarily raised the price to 200 million, but Sherkin asked for 450 million, so how much did he get?
How much did the KGB take?
Sherkin looked at Craig in astonishment, then he sank his face and whispered, "Brother, this is impossible."
Impossible? How is it impossible? Why is it impossible?
Gao Yi really wanted to agree on behalf of Xie Erjin, but he remembered what Xie Erjin said before he came in and decided to remain silent.
Of course, even if Sherkin had not given any warning, Gao Yi would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to expose the true price of the transaction.
The only feeling is that it would be too unfair if the deal failed because Sherkin was too shady.
Sherkin's anger was already evident. He said sternly, "We agreed on this! You can't raise the price at the last minute. I don't even have a chance to ask the buyer for more money now!"
Craig still said nothing, just looked at Sherkin coldly.
Sherkin's voice got smaller as he spoke, and then he exhaled and said bitterly, "If you want to raise the price, fine, but don't go too far. Two hundred million US dollars... this transaction is not even two hundred million in total!"
Craig looked at Gao Yi and suddenly said, "Let's cut out the middleman and do the deal directly."
Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, then he said helplessly: "But I have already given him all my money."
Craig said coldly: "How much did you pay."
Gao Yi was speechless for a moment.
Sherkin said gloomily, "Don't go too far!"
"How much did you pay?"
Craig's behavior was a bit low-end. Whether he was trying to cut out the middleman, or was trying to rob his fellow criminals, or was killing two birds with one stone as Gao Yi had always worried about, in short, Craig's current behavior was at least outdated.
If you really want to rob others, shouldn't you do it earlier?
Do the Russians really not understand the details of the transaction, or do they have no integrity at all?
Or maybe he is just used to being rude and thinks he can break the rules in his own territory?
How to deal with it?
Gao Yi thought about it and decided to refuse to answer.
Since this matter has nothing to do with Gao Yi, then don't say too much. This is a principle, a bottom line, and a rule.
Gao Yi shook his head and said calmly and seriously: "I am in contact with him, and I don't know you, so I will not disclose the transaction amount to anyone."
Craig looked at Gao Yi expressionlessly, then he looked at Sherkin and said, "Two hundred million."
Sherkin gnashed his teeth, and he looked extremely struggling. Finally, he said fiercely, "One hundred and eighty million, not a dollar more!"
Craig frowned again and said calmly, "Two hundred million!"
Sherkin took a step forward, looked directly at Craig, and said in an extremely firm tone: "You can kill me! You can also kill him. You can kill us all, and then try to see if you can get the money out of my account!" Sherkin was so determined?
and many more.
Gao Yi suddenly realized something.
The secret to maintaining long-term cooperation with the Russians is to make the Russians feel that they have gained an advantage rather than suffered a loss in this transaction.
Sherkin was not short of the 20 million; he was providing emotional value to the KGB.
Craig thought for a moment and whispered, "You can ask him for your losses. I believe he made more than 50 million."
Craig pointed at Gao Yi.
Gao Yi was stunned, then he spread his hands and said angrily: "Do you understand the rules? You raised the price at the last minute and took my money? Fuck! I only made 50 million in total, and I had to share it with many people, and I also had to give up information that could be sold for 100 million. Now you want me to pay more?"
After saying this in extreme astonishment, Gao Yi looked at Xie Erjin and said sternly: "What on earth did you do! You tried your best to guarantee that there was no problem!"
Sherkin was helpless. He stared at Craig and gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred and ninety million! Don't drag my friends into this! I only want a ten million benefit! I'll pay you when we get to Baghdad! Otherwise, there's no need to talk! I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely! Will never do a business that loses money! Ten million in profit is my bottom line! Bottom line! Do you understand?"
Craig had a blank expression on his face. He knocked on the table leisurely, then picked up the file bag on the table and said calmly, "One hundred million dollars is the money from selling this, and one hundred million dollars is the money to send it back. So please understand, I did not raise the price temporarily. It's just because these are two transactions, so you have two choices. Pay one hundred million and leave, and then I will start investigating this case and arrest people. Pay two hundred million and this thing will be returned to its original place. No one will find out, and nothing will happen."
Putting down the opened file bag, Craig looked at Sherkin and said, "I know you will earn at least half of this deal. This is your style, but since these are two deals, you have to pay the other half. This is fair. Now, make a choice."
Sherkin was shocked. His lips opened and closed several times, but he could only say weakly, "You are too cruel... You are too cruel! If you do this, who will do business with you in the future?"
Craig looked at Gao Yi, pointed casually and said, "Him!"
Gao Yi wanted to say no, but he felt it was inappropriate to say no at this time.
Xie Erjin still refused to give in. He whispered, "Him? You might as well just go and trade with Dongda."
"If I trade with Dongda, I am committing treason. If I trade with him, I am just doing business. There is a difference."
What's the difference? Gao Yi didn't feel there was any difference.
Craig smiled again and said, "Two deals, two prices. I'll negotiate with you, and you negotiate with him, but I want 200 million!"
Sherkin looked at Gao Yi helplessly.
Gao Yi's face looked very ugly. He hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered: "I can only get 10 million in total. I risked my life to come here to trade with you, and I gave up the information that can be sold for 100 million. In the end, I can't make a penny? Are you kidding me?"
Sherkin whispered, "Actually... he's right. These are two transactions. When the buyer asked to put the item back, you should have refused. You shouldn't have agreed to it out of hand! Now that you've caused this situation, do you want me to bear the loss? I was going to make 100 million! But now I have no money to make!"
After saying that, Sherkin stood in front of Gao Yi with a menacing look on his face and said angrily, "You caused all this! You have to take responsibility!"
"Then let's not put the stuff back!"
Gao Yi said something stupid in a fit of anger, and Sherkin immediately pointed at Craig and said, "Ask him if he agrees!"
Gao Yi was angry, helpless, regretful and annoyed.
Gao Yi felt that his acting skills at this moment were worthy of an Oscar.
Finally, Gao Yi sighed and whispered, "I shouldn't have come! I didn't make a penny, I lost it, don't contact me in the future!"
Gao Yi finally gave in and agreed to compensate Sherkin for his losses.
Sherkin said to Craig bitterly, "You won! Two hundred million! But I hope you understand that if you do this, there won't be a next time."
Craig finally smiled, and the viciousness on his face disappeared instantly. Then he said kindly: "Why won't there be a next time? Next time will only make you more money. I hope you remember one thing, you should figure out your identity and role. It's okay for you to make a reasonable profit, but you want to take most of it, that's impossible!"
After that, Craig said easily: "We still have many opportunities for cooperation. Next time I have something, I will contact you directly. I know you won't give up, hahaha..."
After laughing happily and heartily, Craig suddenly stretched out his hand to Gao Yi and said, "Things."
Gao Yi took out a USB flash drive with a serious face. He did not put it in Craig's hand, but put it on the table.
Craig was not angry. He put away the USB drive, stood up, extended his hand to Gao Yi, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation."
Gao Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out his hand and shook hands with Craig.
Craig's hands were strong. He said confidently and calmly, "Don't act like that. You've made at least 20 million. For a middleman, this amount is good. Let's work together again next time if there's a chance."
With a triumphant smile, Craig put away the USB drive, put the file bag on the table with his hands, and then said calmly: "I will take care of these. I will definitely get things done after receiving the money. Please transfer the money quickly. Oh, there is no need to leave in a hurry. The drinks outside are my treat. Goodbye."
Craig left with the file bag, leaving the door open.
Gao Yi and Xie Erjin stayed and looked at each other.
Both of them had angry and helpless expressions on their faces, as if they had really suffered a loss.
Evaluation of the other party: This guy is really good at pretending.
The highest level, without any trace of performance.
