Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.
Chapter 386 The Smell of Rot
Could it be that he has really been discovered by his old classmates?"
Because the old classmate did not clearly tell him what happened in the city on the phone, old Franklin was now confused and didn't know what to do.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chuan's old classmate breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also worried. If the customs investigation really found any clues, he would be in trouble.
In desperation, he immediately called together all the members of the board of directors.
"Do you mean to say that there is a possibility that the truth may be revealed?" asked a director.
"Yes! I've told you that we have to be careful and prudent in doing things. But you guys have expanded your business so much in a short time, and now you've directly alarmed that annoying old classmate of mine." The chairman said unhappily.
The entire board was silent after hearing this. It was obvious that the chairman's words had touched their hearts.
"So, everyone, whether you agree or not, we must suspend this business now, at least to avoid the limelight. When things are almost ready, we will start again." The chairman continued.
This time, the board of directors did not raise any objections and unanimously approved the chairman's proposal. However, old Franklin was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
His son was having a hard time in Guyue Country, and he himself didn't know how to deal with the problems that might arise. Therefore, he resorted to this desperate measure, smuggling drugs as soon as possible, and actually found a buyer. But this happened less than ten days after he started his business.
But for Jiang Chuan's old classmate, drug smuggling is not a one- or two-day thing. Franklin is just one of his suppliers.
In the interrogation room, the dean, who was pretending to be crazy, refused to reveal any information.
"It's okay." Jiang Chuan walked straight into the interrogation room and said to the dean, "I heard you're crazy? If that's the case, I came to see you. I won't tell you any big truths. If you're a madman, shouldn't you eat some incredible things? I brought a plate of rotten beef today. Eat it if you can."
The rotten beef had already gone bad and smelled so bad that anyone who smelled it would stay away. The whole room was filled with a disgusting stench. In desperation, the interrogators had to put on gas masks.
Surprisingly, the dean actually ate the food with gusto, which shocked everyone and they quickly took the food away.
"No!" Jiang Chuan said with a smile, "Come out with me."
Everyone gathered in the conference room. Jiang Chuan said, "The dean is not crazy. I can see that he is just pretending to be crazy. Listen to me. From now on, since he is 'crazy', we should not keep him in the interrogation room to watch his performance."
Jiang Chuan came up with a good idea and continued, "Since he's sick, he needs to be treated, right? We can't let him continue to be crazy. Send him directly to a mental hospital and find a doctor to treat him according to the way he's already crazy."
"Isn't this a bit too harsh?" Liu Zhijun said with some concern.
"What's wrong with that? He gives us the impression that he's crazy, doesn't he? And everyone knows the saying 'If you're sick, you have to get treatment'. Don't you think that's true? Can we just watch his condition worsen and do nothing?" Jiang Chuan asked back.
If things really develop like that, we might be criticized. Do you understand what I mean? " Jiang Chuan had a sly smile on his face, and Liu Zhijun suddenly realized that if that was the case, why not follow Jiang Chuan's plan?
On the other hand, old Franklin had no choice but to embark on the journey to the Great Shang Kingdom again. He had to find the key person and explain the whole story.
A few days later, he showed up in his old classmate's office, which made him feel helpless but unable to refuse.
"You have to know that if we continue to trade with you now, the customs will definitely keep an eye on us. If our people are arrested, you can stay out of it, but what about us? If my company is gone, who can I do business with?" The old classmate had a helpless look on his face. He knew in his heart that it would be of no benefit to him to continue committing crimes against the wind.
"The problem is, we are really helpless now. Our company is going through a difficult time, and we are selling you these drugs only in the hope of temporarily alleviating the difficulties."
"Then you can go to the bank to get a loan."
"Brother, are you kidding me? If I could get a loan, I would have done it a long time ago." Franklin was obviously a little depressed. He really didn't expect his old classmate to say that.
"Boss Zhao, think about it carefully. Our cooperation is now the smoothest, don't you think? Besides, I made you a lot of money before. You won't stand by and watch me die at the critical moment, right?"
What Boss Zhao hates most is this kind of threatening words.
He never expected that Franklin would say such words to him at such a critical moment. He had nothing to worry about and simply slammed the table.
"I originally cooperated with you because you have a great international reputation. If you continue to talk to me in this way, I'm sorry, but I'm not scared. Don't forget, this is not your Atlantis. In any case, it would be easy for me to deal with you. Don't forget this."
Boss Zhao stood up suddenly. He didn't want to waste any more words with this kind of person. He also didn't expect that he would actually meet such a person.
"I really have no choice but to come to you for help."
"Haha, what does your ability have to do with me? Besides, you were the one who took the initiative to come to me and asked to cooperate with me. I also chose you as a supplier after careful selection. Let me tell you, if you don't want to cooperate with me, there are many people who are willing to cooperate with me. You should think about it carefully."
Boss Zhao stood up immediately, his tone revealing unquestionable determination.
"If you have any difficulties, I can help you, but if you talk to me in this way, then you should leave now. From now on, we will never have any intersection in cooperation again."
Now Franklin was really panicked. If he lost this support, his company would be really finished.
"Hey!"
With no other options, Franklin could only compromise.
"Actually, I have no choice. I have told you many times that I hope you can show mercy and let me go this time. Just this once, okay?"
Little Franklin has been in trouble for a long time. As a father, he can only seize the time to find ways to help his son, but this situation is extremely difficult for any old father.
"All right!"
Boss Zhao shook his head, with a hint of brooking no argument in his tone.
"I still say the same thing. If you want me to help you, just say a few nice words to me. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't care about feelings, right?"
"Yes!" Franklin was full of helplessness at the moment. Thinking about the past, he didn't have to worry about so much, and he could even call the wind and rain with just a word. However, times have changed, and now he has to start begging others.
"Let's end our feud here. What do you want to do now? Tell me. If it's within my ability, I will help you."
"It's actually about money, but you know I don't like to talk about these things because I've seen too many cruel things in the world."
Obviously, Franklin had become somewhat disheartened and had a deeper understanding of human nature.
"Okay, go back and wait for the news. Don't worry, I will give you an answer before tomorrow night. But I hope you can control your temper in the future, and don't forget that in our country, people are not stupid and rich."
"Yes!"
In fact, Boss Zhao knew that Franklin's sudden appearance in Dashang State must have no good intentions, but if he attacked him directly, it would attract the attention of Atlantis State, which was definitely not a good thing. So he simply convened the board of directors again.
"What if this guy asks for too much every time? We can help him once or twice, but not every time."
One of the directors seemed a little depressed. He knew that Franklin now had something on them.
"If you ask me, we should just give the money to that guy, but we need to explain it to him clearly and sign a contract. It's just a sum of money, and it's gone once it's used up. We can't become his cash cow."
Obviously, they were still a little worried, but Boss Zhao thought about it carefully and decided that he had to do something to prevent Franklin from gossiping in the country.
In the evening, Boss Zhao brought his group directly to the hotel where Franklin was staying.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to get rid of me? Is it because I have too much information and you are worried that I will have an impact on you? Don't worry, as long as you give me the money, I will follow your arrangements in everything."
Obviously, Franklin had sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't say what he was thinking directly.
"You also said that you would use this money to continue cooperating with us. Of course we are happy to do so. But we also have to figure out what you plan to do with the money. Once we agree, we will give you the money immediately. Look, I even brought my bank card today." Franklin then smiled.
"Actually, I'm not interested in exposing your scandal. Besides, I think we should follow the principle of harmony and wealth. If we are always suspicious of each other, who can we serve in the future? We might be defeated one by one by others. Is this what we want to see?"
Franklin had been prepared for this. He knew that he would suffer a loss when facing such a group of people, but he still wanted to try his best.
"In fact, our idea is very simple, that is, we should keep out of each other's way. You should not think of using us as a scapegoat all day long, and we will not do anything wrong in front of you. Isn't it better to live in peace?"
"What a peaceful life."
Franklin could only respond with a wry smile.
"Actually, I have my own purpose for borrowing money from you. You can rest assured that I am a person who has principles in what I say and do. As long as you agree, there is no need to worry."
……
This meaningless conversation between the two continued, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that both sides were testing the other's bottom line.
"I won't say much. I'll give you the money, but I must make one thing clear first. This is only once. Don't think of taking money from us every time. And this is a contract. As long as you sign this, you can take the money and don't have to come to Da Shang again."
Franklin knew that maybe Boss Zhao really regarded him as a worthless supplier. But no matter what, at least during their cooperation, he did know a lot of each other's little secrets.
He read the contract carefully, then took out a pen without hesitation and signed his name on it.
"Okay, from now on, we will keep our distance. Don't worry, I won't do anything out of line, and I will never embarrass you in the Great Shang Kingdom."
After signing the document, Franklin immediately took his bank card and prepared to leave. He had already bought a flight ticket back to Atlantis tonight.
However, Boss Zhao harbored evil intentions in his heart.
"Remember that we seem to have our own men in Atlantis. Contact him quickly. We must let Franklin know how powerful I am. If this kind of person continues to stay, he will definitely be a big threat to us."
"Yes!"
The subordinate responded respectfully.
"Wait a minute, what did I tell you before? Did I tell you any requirements?"
The subordinate immediately understood what he meant, and a cunning look flashed in his eyes.
"Boss, did you look for me just now? How come I don't know what you want to talk to me about?"
Boss Zhao smiled, then turned around and quickly returned to his office.
At the same time, Jiang Chuan once again stepped into the threshold of the city manager's office, holding a carefully prepared plan map in his hand and gently placed it in front of the manager.
He frowned slightly, as if he was having a hard time speaking. "To be honest, I don't know how to bring this up with you. The fake drug incident was totally unexpected to me. So far, we haven't found the upstream supplier. Do you think we should start the investigation from here?"
The manager raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"You are really my lucky star! I actually have the same idea. If we can solve this problem beautifully, we will be more important in the hearts of the people. What do you think?"
Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement.
"Well, let's sort out this case. I actually want to know who is so bold as to use fake medicine on my wife. This person must be found!" (End of this chapter)
