Chapter 54 Chapter 53 Rewards
Avoiding the suspected company's convoy and choosing a road that was not blocked by the PCPD, the "Puffy Instant Bars Are Best" van circled back to No. 76 Punk Street, and the three people carried the packages upstairs.
Lucy received a few letters in the mailbox downstairs, so she fell behind. Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao put two packages of equipment in a corner of the living room and robbed her of food and drinks without hesitation. Seeing this, Lucy didn't say anything, lit a cigarette for herself, sat on the sofa and slowly opened the letter.
"Sister Lucy, drink some water!" Zhuang Xuteng poured her a glass diligently.
"Well, just put it down. You stay for a while, the money will be in the account soon."
"Money? Money for me? Isn't it going to take some time before the money comes?" Zhuang Xuteng was stunned for a moment, a little confused. He scratched his head and looked at Brother Dao, who had a knowing smile on his face, and it was obvious that he understood.
"Yes, your money. The money from selling the Wild Monkey Gang's important assets will take some time to arrive, and the money that will arrive soon is another money." Lucy picked up the cup, gulped...gulped...slowly drank some water in five times, then smiled and said: "Okay, no more riddles: it's the money from selling intelligence."
Properties are valuable, and intelligence is also valuable. Zhuang Xuteng reported to Lucy about his learning in the Wild Monkey Gang, which not only contained confidential information that Heisenberg controlled a living shadow of Hercules, but also found out the most likely location of the shadow, the key to the front door, and the direction of the back door for escape. In addition, he also knew the news about Cassandra of Dingxin Magic Creation Group... The above information combined and packaged is enough to support a very successful operation.
Lucy has been immersed in the middleman business for many years and knows very well what to do. Because they "have selfish motives" in this operation, the primary goal is still to cover up the past track of action, so the "intelligence package" must be disassembled, "cleaned" through multiple layers, and enter the middleman's intelligence network through mutually isolated safe channels.
Doing so can spread the risk, but it will inevitably reduce income, and the income will come back in parts. People who buy the report are also very careful. They will not pay the full price right away. They must wait and see. Lucy had already received the "down payment", and she chose not to tell Zhuang Xuteng first, so that she could better observe and test him. As the mission came to an end, the subsequent payments were received one by one, and she confessed.
"When you took out the sapphire shadow necklace, the initial intelligence fee had already been received. By the way, when you didn't know there would be intelligence income, you still made a safe decision to use the shadow necklace as bait. I think it's good." Lucy nodded slightly and said to Zhuang Xuteng: "The current intelligence income that can be distributed to you is 6,000 euros, and there will probably be another 2,000 or 3,000 later... It mainly depends on how much they can find in the operation."
"So much?!" Zhuang Xuteng's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, almost jumping up.
"Well, it's not bad. The main thing is that what you provided this time is too valuable." Lucy counted on her fingers and said, "You got the key to the front door, opened the secret passage at the back, understood the layout and defense of the underground building, and knew when the Wild Monkey Gang would eat and rest. This information is enough to support a silent infiltration operation, and of course it is very valuable."
Ge Gongdao rubbed his hands and snorted, "Hehe, you must have done something with the intelligence to get multiple parties involved. As long as one party chooses to attack by force, the scene can only be a strong attack."
Lucy nodded and said, "I don't shy away from this. There are indeed some methods used by middlemen to handle intelligence. I make a living from this."
"I have no objection. It's very exciting." Zhuang Xuteng understood as soon as he heard it. Lucy said this to highlight the importance of middlemen and prevent mercenaries from foolishly working alone. "I just really didn't expect to earn more than 6,000..."
"The quality of the intelligence is good, and it is exclusive, which is the main factor. In addition, the Wild Monkey Gang does have good things, which also has an impact." Lucy explained to Zhuang Xuteng: "The intelligence fee is divided into two parts. You have to pay at the beginning, and then you can give the other part of the money after verifying the validity of the intelligence content. They did find a living shadow follower, a colorful level - I guess it is Hercules - then you have to pay according to the value of Hercules."
"Did they get Hercules?"
"Whether you get it or not does not affect the money for the intelligence. If you don't get it, you won't pay the intelligence fee, and no one will give them intelligence next time."
"Indeed, the money for intelligence cannot be saved." Ge Gongdao added on the side: "Nake, think about it, if you fail to successfully get the things, and use this as an excuse not to pay, doesn't it mean that you are not capable enough and can't complete the commission, and you have no credibility? The middleman will also think: I give you intelligence, but you are useless and don't pay! Then he will only give the intelligence to the most capable people in the future. In this way, the middle and lower class mercenaries will no longer have the opportunity to climb up."
Zhuang Xuteng nodded, indicating that he understood everything.
"Since the intelligence this time is very scattered, and some of the mercenaries who bought the intelligence may not be able to pay the balance alive, the subsequent payment will be very complicated..."
"Sorry to interrupt," Zhuang Xuteng said, "Sister Lucy, if the mercenaries are caught by the company, will they follow the payment account and trace it back to the middleman?"
"Brother Dao, do you think this kid still looks like a newcomer? His acumen is innate, and your vision is rare for once." Lucy said to Ge Gongdao first, and then turned to Zhuang Xuteng: "Middlemen often One-third of the income is used to manage channels, and I use more than half. The situation you are worried about is unlikely to happen. Even if it does happen, the tracking of the account will be automatically cut off, and there will be two layers of agents behind it. During the operation, I also used zombies. You should know the effects of zombies yourself.”
How could Zhuang Xuteng not know this clearly? After losing his job, in order to raise money, he became a zombie, that is, lending his body to other people. Afterwards, he had no idea what had happened. Even if he tried to recall it, it was useless. Even if he was tortured and interrogated, the result would be the same. Since zombies are used, information isolation can indeed be achieved.
"Continuing with the previous topic. It's too troublesome to give you money one after another. I'll settle it with you all at once. I'll give you 7,500 for the intelligence. I'll give you 2,500 for the chef's matter, which makes up 10,000 euros. With the deposit you entrusted previously, I will pay for the PCPD training class for you. If there is any left, I will buy you a set of PCPD training clothes.”
"Huh...that means I can leave with 10,000 euros today?"
"That's it. You did a good job, that's how it should be. Oh, don't forget the bonus for raiding the Wild Monkey Gang's warehouse and goods yard, and there may be another 10,000 in the future. I estimate that after you complete two months of PCPD training, You can see the money.”
It costs around 20,000 euros. It used to take a year and a half of work, but now you can get it in one go. This "handful" is equivalent to more than half a month of chef learning and two months of PCPD training. No matter how you think about it, it is worth it.
"I have no objection, I feel it's good." Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile: "I haven't received 10,000 euros in one lump sum!"
"Don't spend money indiscriminately." Ge Gongdao said: "With the ten thousand you get now, arrange your life, treat yourself, and buy two or three sets of clothes for daily wear. After two months, you will not be considered as a person after completing the training. As a rookie, the other 10,000 should be spent on various commissioned equipment. I will choose with you. First of all, I must buy serious firearms, which will cost a lot. I don’t know what will be available on the black market at that time. There won’t be any goods…”
"I'll just use the gun the Wild Monkey Gang got."
Ge Gongdao thought for a while and said: "If you insist, it's not impossible. Then you can put the money on the shadow slave device and some simple shadow slave implants. I'm not talking about the bone level, 10,000 yuan is the most It’s only at the subcutaneous level. I need some too, so I’ll tell you later!”
"Well, let's talk about it then!" Zhuang Xuteng agreed.
Lucy nodded and said: "Brother Dao's approach is very sophisticated, but there is a problem. Brother Dao, can you have 10,000 euros in two months? Don't let the time come when a newcomer has better equipment than you." fine!"
"I will work hard these two months and eat and drink less..." Ge Gong said hey twice and said: "Lucy, you can also introduce some good tasks."
"I'm going to keep a low profile and check out what's going on in the company. But I'll still pay attention to the intelligence market. If you're not sure about the entrustment, I can help you check it out. After all, you are Naike's partner. The status of soldiers is different.”
"Ha. Ha." Ge Gongdao rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "Okay, I won't be here to watch you divide the money. I'm sad... I'm greedy... I'm going to find something to make a living."
Zhuang Xuteng also quickly stood up and said, "Brother Dao..."
Ge Gongdao waved his hand and said: "I'm angry at Lucy and won't do anything to you. You finish the training and we'll meet at Lucy's place. You won't be a novice by then. I'll take you to meet other middlemen, those Younger and more beautiful, more generous, and less likely to speak sourly.”
It was obviously you who spoke sourly... Zhuang Xuteng remained calm and could only complain in his heart.
"There are indeed younger middlemen, but it is impossible to be more beautiful. I am the champion in the middlemen beauty contest."
"Put it down! You're the only one participating in the beauty pageant you organized. You'll be damned if you're not the champion!" Ge Gongdao groaned, not forgetting to grab a bag of candies from the kitchen when he left.
Lucy smiled, raised her hand to signal Zhuang Xuteng to sit down, and said, "He is avoiding the scene of middlemen and mercenaries sharing profits. This shows that in his heart, you are more independent and grown up than before, and he respects you more. . The two of you need to be partners. You should prioritize the division of labor, but you should be equal in status - we are making progress in that direction now."
"I understand."
"Then how are you going to take away 10,000 euros? 20 pieces of 500 euros each?"
