Chapter 227
In the evening, the gray-clothed army settled down.
"The transaction will be in three days. The location is Shuiyue Manor in Chengdong. What kind of high-level banquet will be there? But we need to find a way to invite the invitation... By the way, I personally paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan, and I will ask the minister to reimburse me later... Where did you say? Oh, I went to the city hall again, and the damn thing was closed after get off work! As expected, no matter which era, ahem, public institutions are so unreliable... After saying that, this is the specific thing!"
After spreading his hands, Tang En picked up the teacup and fucked his mouth. He was in the hall, the command center of this procurement plan, and Bosco and others were there in front of him. After listening to his report, he was all bowing his head and thinking secretly.
"Very good, thank you Captain Donen!" After a moment, Bosco stood up and said, with admiration on his face.
"I dare not, it's just a matter of duty." Tang En bowed simply, his tone was a little excited, and he looked like he was willing to do his best. In terms of calculations, he might be inferior to you. But as long as he wants to play, he is a professional level.
"Okay, don't be arrogant or impatient, the future of the gray-clothed army depends on you." Bosco's face was even more appreciative, and his tone was full of sighing.
"Hey, the Minister said this badly. Young people do things in a rough manner and need guidance from people like you who have rich experience." Tang En shook his head in shame, and seemed even more excited.
...
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit weird. The two of them were playing the role of being humble and respectful, while the people around them had strange expressions and slightly twitching their mouths.
Tang En and Minister Bosco were a little disagreeable, which was no longer new news. Specifically, Feiri and Bosco's direct subordinates may be a little clearer. But even if they were unaware, they knew that Tang En had cut off Bolai's legs and feet before, causing the other party to commit suicide. In the end, both sides even fought in public. And now the scene in front of him... A smile to eliminate grudges? It's all human beings' death, ghost trust...
Just as everyone was about to have goosebumps, the two of them finally separated after supporting each other's shoulders.
Afterwards, a middle-aged civil servant came out and sent the prepared list to everyone one by one. In fact, the list was already drawn up when it came, but now it is just a little more detailed and precise.
After Tang En sat down, he took it and took a look, then put it aside. There were only large city guard crossbows, catapults, Thor's hammers, etc., and there were some approximate prices behind them.
This attitude is not because he doesn't care, but because Tang En has always given professional matters to professionals. If other people are pointing fingers, they will only cause trouble.
Everyone had no doubts about the list. Next, they waited for the group of storms brought out and the previous stolen goods to take action, and then made the final choice of items after they learned the actual amount.
After skipping this topic, he immediately discussed what Tang En just said. From the mouth of Bosco, the former smuggling nobleman, Tang En finally had some understanding of the banquet.
First of all, according to Bosco, this kind of high-level banquet is also uncommon in the aristocratic circle. Because it is not held directly by a noble, but is often led by one or several large nobles, and then jointly organized by a group of small and medium-sized aristocratic families. In this way, the level of this is naturally self-evident. Whether it is the scene, the guests invited, or even a glass of wine on the banquet table, it is all the best.
Of course, those who can attend such banquets must be personal characters. Needless to say, nobles will basically receive invitations. At the same time, some famous and famous merchants are also among the invitations. As for others, I am sorry, so I can only buy invitations by myself. Invitations for such banquets are naturally not cheap, but even so, these invitations are often in short supply.
The reason is very complicated. Some people are fighting for this kind of face. Being able to attend such a banquet is undoubtedly a symbol of status. Some people are for the benefit of the patriarchs of small and medium-sized commercial families are the most passionate. You should know that if you can negotiate a business here, the amount will definitely not be small. Not only can the tickets be earned back, but it is very likely that the family can take a big step.
Secondly, according to Bosco's inference, the so-called seller should be a certain nobleman, or aristocratic force in Hanshui City. There is naturally a reason for this inference. Thor's Hammer is a hot item everywhere. Bosco inexplicably opened up the smuggling channel and sold food for several years, which was extremely skillful. But even so, he never thought about smuggling the Thor's Hammer with huge profits to the North Wasteland. This thing was really too sensitive.
Moreover, the production process of Thunder Hammer has always been in the hands of the official, and the people dare not say that there is absolutely nothing, but even if there are production drawings, the corresponding metal parts are controlled. In this case, it is probably only those great nobles with great hands and eyes that can use various means to hide such a few units after each batch is released, similar to "accidents". Of course, if there is a relationship with the Military Affairs Office, it will be even simpler.
Bosco is worthy of being a nobleman who once smuggled. From Tang En's words, he analyzed that the items on the list were basically no problem, and they should be able to get spot stock. Moreover, the price of Thor's Hammer is about 150,000 gold coins, and other city-guarding equipment Bosco also has an estimate. This estimate is not a casual calculation like Tang En used to call out three million. This is based on facts and is much more accurate.
Of course, in the end, I still talk about the issue of money.
The middle-aged civil servant took out a piece of paper again and shook his head slightly: "If it was three days, it would be a bit reluctant... The stolen goods that Bourney had asked to take over in the past two days made a profit of more than 800,000 yuan, and it may only be less after that, and the price of gold, silver and jewelry in the city has also dropped slightly."
This person's judgment is correct. The stolen goods are not suitable for continuous operation. In addition, if the price of gold, silver and jewelry drops sharply, it will inevitably attract the attention of those in the city. The Security Department will definitely intervene in the investigation.
"It's okay, then follow the plan we discussed before." Bosco waved his hand and took out the map from the table to expand it. "Hanshui City has a very good geographical location and is a transit station for each city. Send people to set out in four directions and transport the stolen goods to these cities to take action. One by one, three days are enough."
"But on the way..." the middle-aged civil servant hesitated. Although there are official roads in the cities, who can guarantee that there will be no bold thief blocking the road and robbing. Yes, there were indeed more than a hundred soldiers following the team when they set off, but their current goal is to protect the safety here. After all, there is a ministerial-level person here.
"I have nothing to worry about here, so let the soldiers who followed him protect the transportation team. That's it. In special times, of course, special methods must be used!" Bosco seemed very courageous and waved his hand and decided firmly.
"yes!"
After these major issues were decided, some trivial matters were followed. After a brief discussion, Bosco announced the resignation of the meeting.
"Wait." Tang En hurriedly greeted and walked to Bosco, a little shy: "What, Minister, I said before, can you reimburse me for the deposit of ten thousand?"
