Chapter 1833
Dividing the Money, and More Dividing the Money
Wang An ignored Mu Xueli's words and instead muttered:
"Xue Li has a water-jet bridge and a Mauser pistol, totaling seven hundred yuan. Lao Wu has a Mauser pistol, which costs three hundred yuan."
As he spoke, Wang An counted out 30 bills from a stack of ten-yuan notes and handed them to Wang Li, then handed the remaining 70 bills to Mu Xueli.
After handing over the money, Wang An instructed the two men again:
“You two count it. I didn’t even count the money when I took it from here. Did that one-eyed guy take any money out of us? If he dares to shortchange us, we’ll have to settle the score with him one of these days.”
Wang An had completely lost faith in One-Eyed Dragon's credibility, so it was perfectly normal for One-Eyed Dragon to take a few bills out of the money stack.
Of course, regardless of whether One-Eyed Dragon was taking money out of Wang An's pocket, Wang An would seek revenge on One-Eyed Dragon when the opportunity arose.
Because of the fact that he sent a motorcycle to double-cross Wang An and his three companions, Wang An simply couldn't let it go, no matter what. Given Wang An's vengeful nature, he had to get revenge.
Did they really think that Wang An would let them off the hook just because Wang An and his three companions suffered no losses, while the motorcyclists were badly beaten?
Just kidding, letting them go is Buddha's business, and Wang An's job is just to take them to see Buddha.
After the two men finished counting their money and both said they had a lot, Wang An then said:
“We brought back three Type 56 assault rifles this time. Xiao Zhong kept one, and he also kept one of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.”
Turning his head, Wang An said to Huang Zhong:
"Xiao Zhong, remember this: you'll have to keep 5,200 yuan."
As the saying goes, "Even close brothers should keep clear accounts." Wang An couldn't possibly not include the two guns left behind by Huang Zhong in his calculations, because doing so would be unfair to Wang An himself, as well as to Wang Li and Mu Xueli.
After all, whether it was ginseng, gun, gold, or diamonds, they were all obtained by Wang An and the other three at great personal risk, so only by distributing them according to the rules could they be fair.
However, as soon as Wang An finished speaking, Huang Zhong immediately said:
"Brother, I kept two 56.5s, so it should be a total of 6,400 yuan deducted."
Wang An waved his hand dismissively and said:
"The other one is 56, wasn't that the one I gave you before? That one doesn't count. Okay, stop interrupting, or you'll mess things up."
After a pause, Wang An thought for a moment before pointing to the pile of money and saying:
"Here's the money for one Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, seven double-barreled rifles, three hanging-barreled rifles, one water-jet gun, one shotgun, and one Type 51 rifle. That's it."
After speaking, Wang An raised his head again and asked Mu Xueli and the other two:
"Is this calculation correct? Isn't that how it works?"
Mu Xueli, Wang Li, and Huang Zhong exchanged glances before Mu Xueli, looking completely bewildered, said:
"That should be the case, right?"
Wang Li, also looking confused, said:
"Well, that's probably it."
After a pause, Wang Li said nonchalantly:
"Hey, Fourth Brother, just do what you think is best. What difference does it make if it's a little more or a little less? Guns are just small change. You can decide how to divide them. No need to ask us."
Noticing Wang An looking over, Huang Zhong stared wide-eyed and said:
"Brother, don't look at me. I've already divided the spoils by leaving these two guns. There's nothing more for me in this. I don't know anything about it."
Wang An rolled his eyes at the three men, but didn't reprimand them. He continued, "That's right, that's exactly it. Now I should take it out."
After calculating for a while, Wang An finally said, "Hmm, 6850 yuan."
This 6850 yuan was the money Wang An used to buy his own guns, so naturally it couldn't be shared among everyone.
After saying that, Wang An tore open a bundle of 100-yuan notes from the pile of money, took out seven stacks of notes and put them next to him, and then took out 150 yuan from his pocket and threw it back into the pile of money.
At this point, there are still 26150 yuan in the pile of money. If we also include the money converted from the 56 charges and 56 half-charges left by Huang Zhong, then it will be 31350 yuan.
Wang An picked up a pen and paper, calculated for a long time, and came to a conclusion. He first said to Huang Zhong:
“Xiao Zhong, in principle, I should give you 5225 yuan, but since you kept those two guns, that's 5200 yuan. So, I should give you another 25 yuan. Let's round it up and give you 30 yuan.”
After saying that, Wang An gave Huang Zhong 30 yuan, which Huang Zhong accepted without hesitation.
Turning his head, Wang An sketched a couple more lines on the paper before taking the money and saying to Wang Li and Mu Xueli:
"You two should each get 7837.5 yuan, but let's round it up to 7850 yuan each."
After dividing the money between the two of them, there was still 10420 yuan left in the pile of money, which was all for Wang An. It was exactly one whole bundle of ten-yuan notes and a small stack of ten-yuan notes. Wang An reached out and hugged all the money to his side.
Wang Li fiddled with the pile of money in his hand, and said with a happy expression:
"Holy crap, not counting the big spenders from the club and the gold side, they've already made a ton of guns. Hahaha, it's great to hang out with my fourth brother, making money is so easy."
Mu Xueli also said with a smile:
"Yeah, we got so much money from selling the guns. If we sell those bastards, how much will we get? Hahahaha!"
Although Huang Zhong only had 30 yuan in his hand, the thought that the Type 56 assault rifle and the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle would belong to him forever filled him with joy.
Keep in mind that those are Type 56 assault rifles and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles. Type 56 assault rifles are practically impossible to buy, and even buying a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle now is extremely difficult. Just the complicated issues of letters of introduction, guarantors, and gun licenses are not something ordinary people can handle.
Most importantly, buying a gun is a significant expense; ordinary people simply can't afford it.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Wang An chuckled and said to Mu Xueli and Wang Li:
"Alright, you two, stop showing off. You haven't even split the 8600 yuan you stole from someone's pocket in the mountains yet. Come on, let's continue splitting the money."
Wang An then scribbled on the paper with his pencil, and without looking up, said:
“Xiao Zhong, you have 1433 yuan, so I'll give you 1450 yuan. Xue Li and Lao Wu, you two each get 2150 yuan, no more, no less.”
After saying that, Wang An directly took money from his pile and divided it among the three people.
After distributing the money, Wang An said again:
"That gold coin isn't very big, so I won't give it to you. Don't even think about it."
When they were looting the corpses, they found a gold ring with a ruby on one of the bodies. The ruby was of average quality and not worth much, but the gold itself weighed about 10 grams.
Although the gold ring was worth four or five hundred yuan, Wang An didn't plan to share it.
After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli said nonchalantly:
"Golden coins? I don't care about them at all. I wouldn't want them even if you gave them to me."
Wang Li also said as he went down to the ground:
"Who cares about that stuff? I don't care either, there's nowhere to put it anyway."
Wang An didn't say anything more and directly dismissed the three of them, saying:
"Alright, we've eaten the noodles and divided the money. You can all go home now. I need to go to the East Hillside to see how things are going over there. Once the greenhouses are finished, we'll go and sell the barley, bear fur, bear bile, and all that stuff."
The so-called eastern hillside is the area where the village plans to build large-scale greenhouses. As the largest shareholder, Wang An naturally needs to pay some attention to this. (End of Chapter)
