Chapter 474 Subcontracting
Chapter 474 Subcontracting
The usual meeting place is a cafe close to the forest.
The Forest was the common name for the KGB headquarters.
Meeting in a cafe near the headquarters means that this cafe is a public place for private matters.
Basically, there will be such a place near any intelligence agency, whether it is a cafe or a restaurant. It is a semi-official meeting place for people inside to come out and meet and discuss things.
Gao Yi once again met Craig, who was neither handsome nor ugly. Oh no, it was Alexander.
Seeing Gao Yi and Sherkin enter the cafe, Alexander, who was sitting alone behind the coffee table, stood up. He shook hands with Sherkin expressionlessly, then shook hands with Gao Yi, then made a gesture for them to sit down, and sat down first.
He raised his hand and called the waiter, then Alexander held up three fingers and said, "Three cups of Laf coffee."
Laf coffee is the type of coffee that Russians like, there is nothing to say about that, but Alexander did not ask Gao Yi and Sherkin what they thought, nor did he let them order themselves. Instead, he ordered three cups of coffee himself. From this detail, it can be seen that Alexander is a person who likes to make decisions for others.
Or maybe he simply looked down on Gao Yi and Sherkin, but since he had once successfully made a deal, and made a lot of money, it was unlikely that Alexander looked down on them.
As an agent, Alexander would never make such a common sense mistake. If it was not an unintentional mistake, then he did it on purpose.
What Alexander means is, finish what you are saying, finish what you are doing, and then get out of here. I am busy and I am not interested in chatting with you.
I just took the initiative to order coffee for the two of them, that's basically what I meant.
It is basic to convey your meaning and attitude through a small thing.
Alexander did not introduce himself, did not exchange pleasantries, and did not say or do anything business-related. He just sat there quietly, not saying a word.
Sherkin said nothing either.
The two men didn't say anything, which made Gao Yi, who was not familiar with this kind of operation, even more confused, so he just waited helplessly to see what the two men meant.
For a full five minutes, the three of them didn't say a word. Gao Yi was even curious. Could it be that these two people were performing some strange ritual?
Finally, the coffee was served.
"Please, here's the coffee..."
Alexander might have wanted to say that the coffee here was not bad, but he stopped halfway through his words. He and Sherkin must have often drunk the coffee from this cafe, and only Gao Yi was drinking it for the first time, so Alexander should at least say that the coffee was not bad.
He probably just left the conversation halfway through because he was too lazy to say it.
Sure enough, Alexander picked up the coffee and took a sip. When he put down the cup, he asked, "Did you bring the money? How do I pay?"
"transfer."
Gao Yi did not answer, it was Sherkin who said it.
Alexander nodded, and then he whispered, "Okay."
After saying that, Alexander took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, put it on the table, pushed it in front of Sherkin, and said, "There is no original, only this one, it is in self-destructing mode, be prepared to record the screen before watching it, and if you agree to the transaction, transfer the money."
Sherkin reached out and took the USB drive. He looked at Gao Yi, and Gao Yi nodded.
It doesn't have to be an original document, as long as the information inside can be confirmed to be true, the money can be transferred.
Gao Yi nodded, and Xie Erjin immediately took out his phone and sent a message, then said: "The money has been transferred to your account, please check it."
Last time, Sherkin and Alexander bargained for a long time, but this time, the two of them didn't say a word. It was obvious that they had agreed on the price in advance.
Alexander nodded, then he took out his cell phone, took a look at it, then put it aside and continued drinking his coffee without saying anything.
Although I said I was drinking coffee, I actually only took a few sips.
To be honest, the coffee here is really good.
After a while, Alexander's phone rang. He picked up the phone again, took a look, and said to Sherkin with a look of surprise: "Thank you."
Gao Yi was wondering what Alexander was thanking him for, but he heard Sherkin whisper, "This time I paid an extra 20% on top of what we had agreed on, because I know you're leaving and the time is almost up. We had a very pleasant cooperation, so this little money is my retirement gift to you."
Alexander was silent for a moment, then he nodded again, picked up the coffee, gestured to the two of them, and whispered, "Drink slowly, I'm leaving first."
Xie Erjin paid directly, then Gao Yi paid him, and finally he gave the USB flash drive to Huang Haisheng and got four million.
This is the process, and the money Gao Yi paid in advance is the risk he should bear, the risk as a middleman.
The transaction was completed. Alexander had dragged it out for several days, but the actual transaction only took a few minutes.
It was obvious that he had obtained the information a long time ago, but he just refused to give it to him.
Alexander was about to leave, and then Sherkin suddenly said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. I have a business, a big business." Alexander said expressionlessly, "Talk to others. My appointment will be issued soon. I will leave in the next two days."
Sherkin seemed dissatisfied and said, "Then you should introduce the successor to me. My business is urgent and I can't wait forever."
Alexander shook his head. He seemed not to want to waste any more time talking to Sherkindo and made a gesture to stand up again.
Sherkin was forced to say: "Your attitude is likely to cause trouble, brother, I advise you, as long as you are still in your position, you'd better do your job well. It's okay to delay our work, but if you delay the boss from making money, the boss will be very angry."
Alexander probably wouldn't buy it, but Sherkin had made it clear. If he insisted on leaving, it wouldn't be disrespecting Sherkin, but disrespecting the boss behind him.
Step by step, Alexander was pushed to the edge of the cliff. He had no choice but to jump onto Gao Yi's boat. If he didn't jump onto the boat, he could only jump into the water.
"What a big business."
Since it has been decided to stir up a new issue, we must be prepared. Sherkin's cooperation is indispensable. Now that Sherkin has brought up the topic, it is Gao Yi's turn to take the stage.
Gao Yi said coldly: "I want to kill a few people. The KGB has the resources, so I don't need you to do it, but I need you to provide intelligence and cooperate. One target costs 10 million."
After saying that, Gao Yi waved his hand and said, "Can you do it?"
The pressured man looked at Gao Yi with a little curiosity, frowned, and asked, "Who are you going to kill?"
Gao Yi shook his head and said, "Let's first tell me if we can do it."
Alexander hesitated, and Sherkin whispered, "This is the gardener."
Alexander looked at Gao Yi with great surprise.
Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "Being a killer is my main job, and everything else is a side job."
Alexander had obviously heard of Gao Yi's name. He took a breath and said, "I didn't expect it to be you. Are you working for Shaman?"
"I don't work for anyone. I work for money. If you pay me enough, I can help you do things."
Gao Yi smiled and said, "Since we are all insiders, I don't have to hide anything. Prince Shaman wants to retaliate against Constantinbul, and I am the executor, so you can understand how big the business opportunities are here."
Alexander regained his composure and said calmly, "Why do you need the KGB's help?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
Don’t answer questions that are difficult to answer. Ask a question directly to make the questioner doubt his or her IQ, and then let him or her find the answer in his or her own mind.
As expected, Alexander exhaled and said, "The KGB has indeed been targeting Constantinople's intelligence system for a long time. You were right to contact the KGB."
Gao Yi said without hesitation: "It's this matter, can you do it?"
Alexander obviously couldn't make the decision, and he certainly couldn't give Gao Yi an answer.
After thinking for a moment, Alexander exhaled and said, "I'll give you an answer later. If, if, I mean if, we kill the target for you, how much does it cost?"
Gao Yi's original intention was to do it step by step, not to be in a hurry. Even if he wanted to start a new fire, he couldn't start with a high fire.
However, Gao Yi did not expect that Alexander would ask a question that he had not anticipated. After just a quick thought, Gao Yi suddenly realized the value of this question.
"It's between 20 and 30 million, but I don't need your help!"
Gao Yi smiled and said, "I have the best team in the world, the strongest killers, and frankly, the KGB... Never mind, I don't need anyone's help with the simplest step."
Alexander didn't ask what happened to the KGB.
Gao Yi knew what Alexander was thinking at the moment, he could guarantee it.
When he was either transferred or purged, a big business worth at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions suddenly appeared. As long as it was managed well, Alexander could take this opportunity to get out.
Gao Yi is not good at competing with others, but it is different when dealing with Russians. Gao Yi's wisdom is definitely enough.
Alexander exhaled and said, "Fifteen million each, we'll take care of it all, how about that?"
Gao Yi shook his head and whispered, "I believe that your intelligence on Constantinople is detailed enough, but when it comes to the operation, I'm sorry, your style is too rough. I don't mind spending an extra five million on a target, but I don't want to mess things up. In addition, I'm curious to ask, aren't you worried that this matter will involve the KGB and lead to serious consequences?"
After saying that, Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "Of course, I don't mind whether the KGB is involved. I'm just curious, so you don't have to answer."
Alexander said coldly: "Of course we are sure to do it in secret, so you don't have to worry about it. Now I only ask for a target of 15 million, the package price, do you agree?"
