Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Weiguo."

Zhang Weiguo walked up to everyone and shook hands with them in a familiar manner.

Wang Jianjun, Li Heping and Lu Cheng shook hands with Zhang Weiguo enthusiastically. Qian Shuyun was a little reluctant but still shook hands with Zhang Weiguo.

"Well, you all know each other now. Let me first tell you about your route of action."

After Wang Huaiming finished speaking, he asked someone to take out a world map.

"Someone will take you to Tianjin in a moment, and then our people will escort you to a British cargo ship, and they will take you to America."

"Where you get to is up to you to perform."

"After you buy the equipment, you can ask the person above to transport it back."

Wang Huaiming handed a contact address to Lu Cheng, and then asked: "Do you have any questions now?"

Zhang Weiguo asked first: "Leader Wang, I want to ask if the people who helped us transport the equipment back can be fully trusted."

"The person helping us transport the goods is a patriotic overseas Chinese. He helped us with a lot of supplies during the Anti-Japanese War. We can trust him, but we still have to be careful." Wang Huaiming continued: "Do you have any other questions? If not, then get ready to go."

"Nothing."

-

On the way to Tianjin.

Wang Jianjun asked Zhang Weiguo: "Weiguo, I heard that you have studied abroad there for three years. Can you tell us what we need to pay attention to when we go there?"

Everyone else, including Qian Shuyun, who had always been cold, looked at Zhang Weiguo.

"no problem."

"In fact, in my opinion, there is nothing to pay attention to. The only thing to pay attention to is that you need to have money."

"What kind of logic is this?" Wang Jianjun was a little angry and thought that Zhang Weiguo was fooling him.

In fact, what Zhang Weiguo said was not wrong. In America, as long as you have money, you can find someone who is not afraid of death even if you want to assassinate the president.

"Don't think I'm fooling you. I'll give you an example and you'll understand." Zhang Weiguo said, and then he turned to Wang Jianjun and asked, "Captain Wang, can I ask how much you earn a month now?"

"102 dollars."

"According to the exchange rate of RMB to USD, your money is only worth about 40 USD. This is our official exchange rate, you can't change it at all. And according to the black market exchange rate, it is about 10 USD."

"You have to know that $10 is only enough for a middle-class family to live on for a day."

"That is to say, Captain Wang, your monthly salary is only enough to live there for two days. And this is when the living place is relatively poor."

"Ah, this...are the expenses over there really that huge?" Everyone felt incredible.

You have to know that Wang Jianguo's salary is higher than most people in China, but it is only enough to live for two days.

Zhang Weiguo then asked: "How much is our budget for this event?"

Wang Jianjun looked at Lu Cheng, who was in charge of the money.

"Leader Wang, gave me 310,000 US dollars." Lu Cheng continued, "300,000 of which are used to purchase equipment and cannot be touched. The remaining 1,000 is our activity fund."

After hearing this, Zhang Weiguo held his forehead with a headache. With this little money, he could not complete the task, and it would be good enough if he could avoid starving to death.

"Alas, it looks like I have to subsidize myself again."

Don't think Zhang Weiguo is exaggerating. Just based on the discrimination against Chinese people there, if you want to buy their equipment, you won't even be able to meet the negotiators unless you give some money to the relevant personnel. And who knows how long you will stay there.

Wang Jianguo seemed to have noticed Zhang Weiguo's helplessness and asked, "Weiguo, isn't this $1000 enough for us to move around there?"

"You'll find out when you get there."

In fact, these people should be grateful that Zhang Weiguo went with them.

It took about six hours by car to reach Tianjin.

"Comrade, I can only take you here. Comrades from the navy will escort you the rest of the way." The driver dropped everyone off and set off back.

At this time, a soldier in camouflage uniform said to Zhang Weiguo and his men, "Comrades, follow me. We will escort you on the rest of the journey."

As the team leader, Wang Jianguo said, "Then I'll trouble you, comrade."

The soldiers took everyone to a small sand-carrying boat.

"This time we are sending you over under the pretext of trading sand with merchants from Hong Kong Island, so the conditions are a bit simple." The soldier explained to everyone.

"It's okay, comrade. This little suffering is nothing."

There was no conversation along the way. When it was just dawn, Zhang Weiguo was awakened by the soldier who had come before him and said, "Comrade, wake up! We have arrived."

Zhang Weiguo opened his eyes and went to the cabin, where he saw a cargo ship about 160 meters long and 26 meters wide parked opposite.

"Hello, they are the people we are going to transport along this time." A blond, blue-eyed, bearded man on the opposite freighter said to our soldiers in English.

"Yes, William, I'll leave them to you." The translator next to the soldier translated.

"Zhou, I've cooperated with you many times. You can trust my character. Since I've received the money, I will send the person to you safely."

At this time, the soldier looked at Zhang Weiguo and the others and said, "This is Captain William. He will take you to America."

"Hello, Captain William." Zhang Weiguo said directly in English.

"Oh, your English is so good. It sounds much more comfortable than the poor English I just translated."

The translator next to me thought, although what I said was not very good, do you have to be so straightforward?

"I studied abroad in America for three years," Zhang Weiguo replied directly.

"Oh, that's great. I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about on the way." William said to the soldier named Zhou, "Zhou, leave them to me."

"Then please."

Everyone followed William to his cargo ship.

William said to a crew member next to him: "Thomas, take them to the room below."

"Hey, guys, follow me." Thomas said and walked into the cabin first.

Everyone turned their eyes to Qian Shuyun and Zhang Weiguo.

"He told us to follow him and he would arrange a room for us," Zhang Weiguo explained.

"Well, it's like this." Qian Shuyun blushed a little at this time. He found that these foreigners spoke too fast and he could hardly keep up with them. You know, her job was to translate.

"Let's go." Zhang Weiguo said to everyone as he looked at Thomas who had already walked far away.

Inside the cabin.

"Hey, guys, these rooms are yours. You can assign them yourselves. If you have any questions later, you can come to the room on the far left to find me."

"Thanks, Thomas. We will contact you if there is any problem," said Zhang Weiguo.
