Chapter 832 Troubleshooting
Mike is a "gold digger". He is not the same as those real gold diggers wandering around. He is a gold digger who specializes in gold digger business.

Not every country in this world is as developed and advanced as the Federation, and some countries are even very backward, which is incredible!

Just like the country called Scotland where he is now.

This country has a population of more than 2000 million, which is not very large, and their technological level is also very backward, which is equivalent to the federation ten or twenty years ago.

When Mike stood on this land, the sense of superiority from the heart couldn't stop growing from his heart, and his whole body was going to be full in an instant, and it was going to overflow!
The local people don't have frequent contacts with the international community. When they come here, they are relatively backward, and there are no products that are particularly worthy of people's attention.

Secondly, the distance is relatively long. Even if some products are cheaper than other places, the cost will increase exponentially after being shipped out, and it may be more expensive than buying them at the place where they are sold.

However, there are still some federal people who live here. They always believe that there are various treasures, gold mines, and oil hidden in certain places in this country.

As long as they can find these things, they can live on money for the rest of their lives.

This is the gold digger, who may be poor for a lifetime, but as long as he seizes a chance, he can surpass 90.00% of the three people.

Every once in a while Mike will ask someone to deliver some goods from the state or nearby places. These goods are mainly sold to local rich people and federal people.

By the way, he can also send back some of the commodities he bought, such as some precious metal coins, as well as some complete leather, spices, etc. These are very popular commodities in the middle and upper classes of the Federation.

In order to ensure that his business would not go wrong, Mike took his brother and some relatives to do business here.

First of all, they are foreigners here, and they are easy to be bullied by locals when there are few people. Don’t think that people here are backward, and people here must be afraid of foreigners.

Sometimes they don't care about the consequences of attacking foreigners at all, and only think about some immediate interests.

During this period of time they bought a lot of leather and fodder, as well as some gold and silver.

These things are not like big transactions, which require a lot of containers to be transported away, like the gold, most of which can be taken away with only one personal ticket.

Leather, spices too, easy to transport.

In order to ensure that there were no problems with the shipment, they asked some relatives and helpers to escort the shipment back to the Federation.

And here, only Mike and his younger brother were left.

The two had just delivered the goods to the ship, and when they stood on the pier and watched the ship go away, Mike's heart suddenly trembled.

It's like... being pinched by someone, making it unable to jump, and with a thud, the body lost all strength in that instant.

He covered his chest with one hand, frowned and lowered his head.

His younger brother immediately reached out to support him, "What's wrong with you?"

He felt a little strange today, and he felt a little uneasy, "It's nothing, maybe the food I ate was not clean, and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable."

If you ask people who are currently traveling internationally, what is it that they have a hard time with, and it is likely to be the different eating habits in each country.

Taste, seasoning, eating habits, this is definitely a challenge for the federal people who consider themselves civilized people.

Mike's younger brother smiled, the local food in Scotland will never be handled cleanly.

It's hard to imagine how their locals survived, maybe they evolved a strong stomach.

"Then let's go quickly..."

Mike's shop is located in the most central business district of the city.

It is said to be a commercial district, but in fact it is the market in this city. There are scattered buildings in a circle, and there are stalls inside. Every day, people bring their own things to sell from all directions.

Of course, compared to those hawkers without fixed stalls, Mike bought a house here without spending much money and started a business.

Considering safety issues, he and his younger brother specially found some craftsmen to re-strengthen the house, and added steel bars and steel plates to key parts.

As long as you don't open the door, people outside can't rush in.

After returning to the shop and closing the door, the uneasiness lingering around him gradually dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

What he didn't know was that he had been targeted long ago, or that this shop had been targeted.

They are targeted by a group of local gang members. In the eyes of the federal people, this place may be very poor and the society is also very backward, but to the local people, they think this is an ordinary society and an ordinary living environment.

They have lived here since they were young, and they can't see the "backward" in the foreign population, and of course they can't see the "developed" and "advanced" of other countries in the foreign population.

So it's not surprising that there are gangs here.

There is a gang that is eyeing Mike's shop. The wealth of the federal people makes these gang members who cannot be restrained by law and morality jealous and almost go crazy.

It's just that their security work is usually very strict, and there are federal people in the store and next door. Even if the local gangsters are jealous of the Mike family, there is no good way to gnaw at this fleshy bone.

But some time ago, they found an opportunity.

Men like Mike who do business in a foreign country, far away from their wives and family members, sometimes feel a little lonely and cold.

It's their little secret here to find cheap local opposite sex to solve their physical problems, but it's not really a secret, they all know each other, including their family members.

It's just that in this era, money represents everything. If you have money, you can be happy, and if you don't have money, you can only be sad. Therefore, those women who stayed in the Federation didn't say anything, just pretending they didn't know.

Some time ago, Mike's younger brother had an affair with a local girl who had just grown up, and this scene was discovered by gang members who had been watching them.

They see this as an opportunity, a chance to make their dreams come true.

Early this morning, they had their eyes on the two brothers. At this moment, those people were hiding outside, but the two people in the room didn't know it at all.

According to the rules set by Mike, once someone escorts the ship and there is not enough manpower here, the business will stop, and during the day, only the business of the federal people will be done, not the business of the local people.

The purpose of doing this is to put an end to the idea that the locals will make their minds up.

All along, this rule has protected them, and everyone abides by it.

In the evening, the two brothers closed the gate before it was dark, put in the paddle, and locked it from the inside.

"What's the sound?" Mike, who was packing his things, suddenly stopped, and he heard some rustling noises coming from above his head.

The younger brother who was packing up his things casually replied, "Maybe it's a cat?"

Mike didn't think much about it either. There were indeed many wild cats and dogs in the area, so he continued to pack his things.

After the shop was cleaned up, when the two of them were lying on the bed, they couldn't fall asleep for a while.

Although the usual work is not to say how busy it is, at least it doesn't close until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Now it closes after five o'clock, and there is no TV here, and there is nothing for entertainment. Time seems to be going against them, and it is getting slower and slower.

The younger brother who was tossing and turning on the bed, unable to fall asleep, suddenly thought of the girl he had just gotten along with not long ago.

He is already in his 30s and almost 40 years old, and he also has a family in the Federation, with a wife and children. It is not happy to say that he just lives together for responsibilities that he doesn't understand.

This kind of situation is very common in the federation. Men and women have met several times, and they can't say whether they like it or not.

The man just wants to vent his excess energy without spending extra money, and to have a hot meal after a tiring day every day, without having to take care of some trivial matters at home.

All the woman wants is a man who can have a decent job. He doesn't need to be handsome, as long as he can support himself and occasionally spend a little money willfully, that's enough.

They formed a couple without liking or disliking each other, and possibly without feeling the slightest bit.

I can't talk about likes and dislikes, and I have accomplished many major events in life.

get married, have kids...

The younger brother is also such a person, whether he likes it or not, it's just that he doesn't know why he has to bear the responsibility.

Lying on the bed and unable to sleep, he began to think about the girl not long ago. It was a kind of heartbeat, a feeling of being in love.

When he was with the girl, he seemed to be back in high school, happy because of the girl's joy, and sad because of the girl's sadness...

His fingers gently stroked the wall, the slightly uneven wall was far inferior to the girl's smooth and tender skin, there was an indescribable smile on his face, as if he was recalling something,
It's nice to be young...

He sighed, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still.

He rolled over and sat on the edge of the bed, patting his head.

Mike, who was sleeping on the bed next to him, gave him a sideways look, and quickly looked away.

The younger brother asked with a flattering smile, "Can I go out?"

Mike didn't speak.

He asked again, "Can I go out?"

Mike was a little irritable, "It's getting dark, it's going to be dangerous outside!"

Maybe it was because the feelings that had been suppressed for 20 years broke out at this moment. My brother did not give up this idea, but wanted to fight for it.

"There are still many federal people active outside. They hang out in bars until late at night before returning home. No one does anything to them!"

Mike also sat up and looked at his younger brother seriously, "That's because they are poorer than the locals, and they won't get anything if they are hurt, and they will be targeted by gold diggers."

"But we are different. We have this shop, and we have a business that is not too big but not too small. Do you know that many people outside are trying to rob us?"

He looked at his brother, "You know, your eyes are just covered by some boring emotion, you have to open it."
