Chapter 1825
Must Be Super Effective
There was no way around it; Wang An had experienced or witnessed far too many things in his previous life. Although methods like adding something to cigarettes were the most basic, they were also the most likely to get caught.
Because this is precisely what people don't pay special attention to.
From beginning to end, Wang Li had a bad impression of this impolite young man, so naturally he wouldn't accept the cigarette he offered.
However, the two parties are still in the process of making a deal, and Wang Li can't just ignore them, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to offer them a cigarette.
Sure enough, Wang Li's offer of a cigarette to the young man caught him off guard. However, the young man was quite cunning; he didn't take the cigarette from Wang Li, but instead waved his hand and said:
"No, no, no, I cough when I smoke other cigarettes, so I can only smoke this kind, hehehehe."
As he spoke, the young man chuckled awkwardly twice, took a cigarette from his pack, and put it in his mouth.
Wang Li subconsciously glanced at the Classic Ice Cream in the other person's hand, then at the identical Classic Ice Cream in his own, and said with a chuckle while smoking a cigarette:
"Yeah, I cough when I smoke other cigarettes too, it's really bad."
As he spoke, Wang Li took out a lighter and lit his cigarette, and the other person did almost the same thing.
The only difference is that their lighters look different.
After each taking a few puffs of their cigarettes, the young man spoke up again:
"By the way, brother, you still haven't told me where you guys came from. How did you know Brother Long was in this kind of business?"
Wang Li feigned ignorance and said:
"Oh, we're from the neighboring LQ County. How would I know you guys were in this business? We just do what my fourth brother tells us to do."
Wang Li naturally couldn't say he was from DJ County, because Wang An once said that when chatting with people in other places, you shouldn't easily reveal your background. Just make something up or give a general idea of where you are; there's no need to be so specific.
After Wang Li finished speaking, the kid said:
"Your fourth brother? Was that your fourth brother just now? How's he doing in LQ County? Is he as powerful as Brother Long in JY County?"
As soon as the kid finished speaking, Wang Li suddenly realized something: not only was the kid impolite, but he also seemed to be missing a screw in his head.
The main problem is that the question he asked was just so incredibly stupid!
Is this a comparison between children? Or are the children showing off how awesome their older brother is?
Wang Li grinned and began to boast animatedly:
"My fourth brother's status is definitely high, extremely high. Let me tell you, no one in our county dares to mess with him. You could say he can walk sideways without any problems. He knows people in Gong'an, Ju, Wuzhuang, and Bu. If you want to get anything done in the county, my fourth brother usually just needs to say one word, and it will be done very smoothly."
Upon hearing this, the one-eyed man's younger brother couldn't help but twitch his lips and eyes a few times.
But Wang Li continued to boast:
“Let me tell you, the time we went to the cement factory to pick up cement, the new warehouse manager didn’t recognize my fourth brother and tried to act tough with him. My fourth brother slapped him twice across the face, leaving the warehouse manager completely stunned. Later, the factory manager intervened and pleaded for him, and only then did my fourth brother let the kid go.”
The young man listened impatiently, then asked with considerable surprise:
"If your fourth brother is this awesome, then your eldest, second, and third brothers must be even more awesome, right?" Wang Li's eyes widened, and he continued to boast:
"No, not at all. My older brother and his family are entrepreneurs. Do you know what entrepreneurs are? Let me tell you, entrepreneurs are the ones who make everyone a millionaire. My older brother..."
Listening to Wang Li's endless boasting, the one-eyed man's little brother looked like he was constipated. Unfortunately, Wang Li didn't need to prepare any speeches, and lies just flowed from his mouth. The guy didn't even have a chance to interrupt, and he couldn't forcefully cut him off. The guy's discomfort at that moment was indescribable.
On the other side, Wang An drove to a relatively open area and stopped, and when One-Eyed Dragon saw Wang An stop, he also parked his car next to the GAZ truck.
After they got out of their respective vehicles, they chatted like old friends, exchanging a few meaningless words. Wang An casually reopened the trunk of the GAZ truck, pulled out all the sacks containing the guns, and placed them on the ground, saying casually:
"Brother Long, let's inspect the goods."
One-Eyed Dragon agreed and randomly pulled out a 56 bar from the sack, then carefully examined it.
After inspecting the gun, the one-eyed man randomly pulled out another and examined it carefully once more.
After checking several items, the one-eyed man finally said with a chuckle:
"Bro, you've really kept these guns in good condition. The bolt and firing pin are all in great shape. Not bad, really not bad."
Wang An smiled and said:
"Absolutely. The goods sold to Brother Long have to be top-notch. We can't just try to fool him with something broken or rotten."
Upon hearing this, the one-eyed man laughed and grabbed the sack containing the double-barreled hunting rifle, randomly inspecting it.
After only checking a few items, One-Eyed Dragon stopped, picked up his Type 56 assault rifle, and began examining it with great excitement, saying as he looked:
"Great stuff, great stuff! This is the best thing ever! With this in hand, what can't we do? Hahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Wang An frowned, but said nothing.
The one-eyed man inspected the two Type 56 assault rifles with extreme care, leaving almost no detail unchecked.
However, this is all normal. After all, a 56-yuan toy costs a full four thousand yuan, and four thousand yuan is a huge fortune in those days. Even someone like One-Eyed Dragon would take it seriously.
After inspecting the two Type 56 assault rifles, One-Eyed Dragon picked up the Water Bead and the Mauser C96 and gave them a quick look. His expression clearly showed his disgust, but he didn't say anything more.
As for the sand spear, One-Eyed Dragon didn't even glance at it.
After the two of them loaded the sacks containing guns into the van, the one-eyed man said to Wang An:
"Alright, bro, this batch of goods is pretty good, let's settle the bill."
Wang An had already done the math in his head, and said with a smile:
"Brother Long, you've already calculated it all. It's 33,950 yuan in total. Let's round it up. Just give me 34,000 yuan, Brother Long. Anyway, I haven't been haggling with you at all."
The one-eyed man grinned and readily handed the cloth bag to Wang An, saying at the same time:
"Brother, count it. It's exactly 34,000, not a penny more, not a penny less."
Wang An took the cloth bag and, in front of the one-eyed man, took out three bundles and four stacks of ten-yuan notes and placed them on the ground. After checking them and confirming that there was nothing wrong with the money, Wang An stuffed the money back into the cloth bag and casually threw it into the trunk.
The entire movement looked incredibly casual. (End of Chapter)
