This winter, Mario came from Taeyong to attend their dinner party.

This was Mario's first time attending a party in Pusai Bay, especially when Cuenca was in power, he was able to let go of his grievances and come to the banquet regardless of previous suspicions. Perot really didn't know how to express his gratitude.

Cuenca also seemed very magnanimous, and specially prepared good wine from Pusai Bay for him.

So enemies and friends are not forever, as long as the goals are the same, past grievances can be written off at any time.

There were not many people at this party, and there were only seven people in total. Perot invited one more person, and that person was Renault, who led the arms business in Qinglan.

Renault is very important, so important that even though he has spent nearly ten years of money, he has never appeared as a guest at any banquet in Posai Bay.

Lei Nuo comes from a prominent family with a military background. His great-grandfather was once the Senate President of Qinglan Country, and his grandfather was also a veteran with numerous military exploits.After his father's generation, they retired from the political and military fronts and entered the background.

From the outside it seems that they are no longer involved in political affairs, but only those behind the stage know that they are not disarmed and returning to the field, but have entered the invisible cloud.

Ever since he was a young man, Perot had heard his boss say that the members of this family not only controlled the domestic arms trade and the lifeline of the economy, but actually controlled every congressional election.

They are the hand behind Qinglan Country—or, more precisely, one of those five fingers.

Perot has paid tribute to them for many years. When he transferred from the original boss to follow Fukang, the biggest package every year was prepared for this family. There was more than one such package, and when it was few, it was five or six. , more than a dozen can be delivered in a few months.

It's just that the package never directly reached anyone who was related to their family. Instead, it was divided into many households, and then collected abroad like thousands of streams returning to the clan.

The same is true for their communication with Pu Sai Wan. Every message will pass through the chief accountant, the chief lawyer, and the legal assistants, and then conveyed layer by layer. Hear related sounds.

He will set a price clearly, and export his needs openly and authentically, what is the economic situation this year, and whether their tribute should increase or decrease.In exchange, he will also tell them where there are roadblocks in the future, and where there is no obstacle.

No matter whether it is Perot or Cuenca, or Saga or Vaucan who received this call, no one will say "no", because Renault's guidance is the guarantee, as long as he is willing to make this call , which means that the people in the clouds will not move yet.

He is the biggest red-capped businessman, and in the eyes of those who are involved in the black market empire, he is that red-capped businessman, their life-saving straw in the court.

When Cuenca and Perot merged Yushan and Pusai Bay, he gave them a call as usual. The official statement was a congratulatory message, but Perot and Cuenca knew in their hearts that this was not just a congratulatory message, but also a symbol of Approved by the blue sky and white clouds.

So when Perot invited everyone to come to the party this year, he also symbolically asked someone to give Renault a message.

This is a common practice. It is one thing whether others come or not, but it is another matter whether you have a lot of money to invite them.

What's more, Lei Nuo never showed up. This is just another excuse for Pu Saiwan to pay tribute and curry favor.

To Perot's surprise, he actually received a response.Not only that, Renault also personally called Perot's cell phone.

Renault said, I'll go, I have something to talk to you personally.

The call time did not exceed 30 seconds. After Pero hung up the phone, he and Cuenca looked at each other.They should feel happy, but for some reason, a strong worry rose from the bottom of their hearts.

So when Perot got the news, in addition to preparing the package, he also informed Mario of the news in advance.

Mario was taken aback when he heard this, and after a few seconds of silence, he let out a long sigh and gave his only guess—"I'm afraid you, Qinglan, are going to change the sky."

Mario's political sense is indeed sharper than that of Perot and Cuenca. His words directly hit the purpose of Renault's trip.

After the greetings of the six people, and during the free time waiting for Renault to arrive, Mario immediately perfected his guess.

He believes that Renault's response is a harbinger of the weather, and you can guess how the weather will change without anyone using it-this is based on the following points.

First, people like Renault would not appear in times of peace and prosperity.

They have their castles and walls, and if people outside want to go in, there are layers of checks and screenings.What's more, they have so many people in their hands, and the network is so dense, they don't need to do anything by themselves, which greatly protects their privacy and minimizes their presence in the eyes of ordinary people.

The existence of blue sky and white clouds is like this. They are different from ordinary rich people. The rich man wants others to see his financial resources and power.

But Lan Tian Baiyun doesn't think so, they want others to think that they don't exist at all, and only when they don't exist can they make big moves.After all, big actions always have to be explained to people, and they don't care about giving explanations to anyone.

So you can see when the sky turns sunny and when it rains. It seems to be a natural law of change. In fact, people are calling the wind and rain from above, and they don't want to let you know.

Second, in troubled times, people like Renault would not appear.This does not mean that they do not affect the situation, but that when ordinary people feel "chaotic", the situation is already powerless, which is the lag of news.

When the crisis came and tried to resolve it but failed, they left the fort long ago and ran to a safe place without anyone noticing.

At this time, we can see many authorities that suddenly appeared. Those authorities seemed to be the wavers of the situation, but in fact they were abandoned by the situation, or heroes who tried to turn the serfs into masters and rebuild a new world.

There are heroes in troubled times, but why are there no heroes in peaceful and prosperous times? Because after these heroes emerged from the chaos, they entered the clouds the next moment.

So now that Renault is personally involved, there is only a third possibility—this world is going to be chaotic, but it hasn't started yet.He is a weather forecaster who comes to tell you that it is going to rain and he is ready to harvest fir trees.

"Collecting firs..." Hearing this word, Perot gritted his teeth silently.

"When I was a child, I listened to my mother telling stories before going to bed. My mother told me that my father used to be a weather forecaster. He also had more than one, but the old man is very stubborn. He just wants to change the weather by himself." Mario wiped his nose and looked at it in turn. The faces of Pero and Cuenca paused, and said, "You...don't be so stubborn later."

"Stubborn?" Cuenca let out a chuckle, "Mario, I'm not talking about you, how long have we been fucking doing this. Don't you know that in Taeyong, what Perrot and I can give to the superior is before Even if they really want to move, they should wait until they are full and fattened before moving? This fucking pig will be killed before it grows up, which farmer is so stupid."

Although Cuenca's mouth is tough, in fact he is also beating drums in his heart.

He had long felt that it was too quiet up there, so quiet that even the Drug Enforcement Administration, which usually farted all day long, didn't make a sound.

Sometimes it's good to be quiet, and that means they're afraid of Po Sai Wan.But being too quiet is dangerous, and that means they are not moving, but gathering evidence.

"Oh, it's really hard to say," Mario waved his hand, not caring about Cuenca, and glanced at Pero, "You don't care what motives the farmers have, the knives are always in their hands. I'm also guessing blindly, what to do when the time comes You decide for yourself. Anyway, I am from Taeyong, as long as your weather forecaster doesn't fucking bring someone to arrest me tonight. "

After speaking, Mario laughed a few times to himself.

But except for him, the rest of the people didn't laugh.

Their banquet started at eight o'clock in the evening, and the few people chatted until eleven o'clock in the evening, before they heard someone report that a car was approaching.

At that time, although the three of them drank a little too much, they immediately sobered up after receiving the news.

Lover also immediately went over to turn off the music, the poet immediately replaced the empty bottle on the table, and C4—Mario winked, C4 obediently found an empty room and got in to stay.

So when someone important says, "I'm going to eat with you," it's not a meal, it's a meeting.In fact, everyone lost their appetite and just waited to see what the leader gave instructions.

Pero and Cuenca asked the attendants to come over and put on new tablecloths, and then walked to the door with Mario and Cuenca.

The car is very low-key, but it is an ordinary business car with more than [-] rabbis. The license plate is new, and it is the license plate of the city next door.

There was only one car with a driver and a security guard.It seems that this kind of person is also skilled and daring, and he is probably convinced that these drug dealers dare not do anything to him, and he doesn't even have a gun.

Isn't he afraid that drug lords will take him hostage?

No, this thought only flashed in Kunka's mind, and then he was quickly extinguished by himself.He can't think about such terrible things, he has to face the wall and think about his mistakes.

After Renault's car stopped, the driver rolled down the window, and then the security guard got out of the car first. He did not let Perot's people approach, but opened the door for his employer.

This was the first time Cuenca and Pero saw Renault—how should I put it, although the clothes and trousers are quite decent, but this man's fucking looks are too ordinary, so ordinary that he can't find it in the crowd, and The imaginary image of high status and golden brilliance is completely inconsistent.

Before, they had been talking on the phone or even exchanging information by word of mouth. Cuenca and Perot thought that the other party was an elderly person, not like Vaucan or Simone who stepped into the coffin with half a foot, but at least he had a beer belly or Wrinkled face.

But this person was not there, and Renault looked about the same age as Cuenca and the others. He was in his forties, his hair was combed smooth, and his shirt was a little yellow.

The only thing that distinguishes him from ordinary people is his eagle-like eyes.

After seeing Pero and Cuenca, he walked forward slowly. He changed the stern expression on his face, quickly put on a professional smile, and shook hands with them politely.

Perot just wanted to say hello, but he took a step ahead and said - "Time is running out, let's talk inside, I will make a long story short."

Not only that, he also turned his head to say hello to the security guard.So the security guard opened the doors of the rear compartment and the rear seat, and dragged five large packages from above.

When Perot saw it, his heart was suffocated.This is nothing else, it is the good thing he sent over in the first half of this year, and the seal on it has not even been removed, which proves that Renault has no intention of accepting it at all.

Gifts given out are returned—judging according to unwritten rules, it means that what you want to do cannot be done.

In the past ten years, Perot has not heard of any refund of gift money, whether it was his previous boss or Fukang's reign.Although I don't know whether Fukang had such a personal and private meeting, but he never heard him complain that Renault didn't accept things.

"What's the matter?" Perot put on a smiley face, spread his hands, and asked Lei Nuo innocently, "If there is anything that is not thoughtful in Posai Bay, you can directly mention it to us, don't make us worry, leader .”

Renault ignored him, watched them empty all the suitcases, then turned around on his own, raised his chin towards the living room, and said - "Go in, let's talk later."

After speaking, he turned his attention to the guest, and stepped into the hall as naturally as if he was going home, before the others.

Perot swallowed hard, and his heart raised a little bit.
