Chapter 78: Renting a Villa.
Chapter 78: Renting a Villa.
Ding Jun's fingers, gripping the submachine gun tightly, turned slightly white from the force.
He recalled how, a few days ago, his eldest brother, Bai Chen, had spoken those words with a detached expression in the rented room.
"If you really betray us, I'll slowly stab you to death with a sewing needle."
"Your former black boss at the processing plant was in pretty good shape; he was stabbed for a full half hour before he died."
That indifferent look in his eyes, towards life, remained unforgettable for him.
"The boss throws away six pounds of gold like water. If you follow a boss like that, you're bound to make it big sooner or later. Why would you do something so disloyal?"
Ding Jun murmured to himself.
Perhaps it was because I had figured things out, all my previous worries disappeared, and my steps became much lighter.
However, he was unaware that he had already narrowly escaped death.
Because not far behind him, a man holding a pistol was staring straight at him.
If he were to stray from the direction of the rented house, he would be met with a fatal blow to the head.
.....
Fez Square, next to old rental houses.
Looking at the lock in front of him, Ding Jun paused slightly, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open.
in the room.
Bai Chen sat upright on the sofa, looking at Ding Jun with a smile on his face, seemingly not at all surprised that Ding Jun hadn't run away.
"Boss!"
Ding Jun greeted them, placed the box he was carrying on the coffee table, and explained:
"The shop owner said our gold wasn't pure enough, and because of the large quantity, we didn't get an invoice. The market price was originally 420,000, but he only offered 350,000."
"Boss, please count it. Here's 350,000." Ding Jun explained cautiously, then opened the box.
Stacks of green banknotes were neatly piled up in the box.
"Um."
Bai Chen nodded slightly, casually took out a stack of papers, and tossed them to Ding Jun.
"I'm giving you this as a reward since you didn't run away."
A stack of $100 bills is $10,000, which is close to 70,000 RMB in China.
All of this can be done simply by going out and running errands.
Ding Jun's breathing became rapid, and he looked hesitant, unsure whether he should take the ten thousand dollars.
He didn't know if this was a test from his boss or a real reward of ten thousand yuan.
"hehe!"
Bai Chen chuckled lightly and said without a doubt, "Just take it."
"Ding Jun, remember this: you are not allowed to have any ideas about what I haven't given you. And you are not allowed to refuse what I give you, understand?"
"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss."
Ding Jun was flattered and immediately stood up, bowing repeatedly to express his gratitude before accepting the ten thousand US dollars.
"Alright, let's talk about that animal protection organization. I want to buy a few grizzly bear carcasses. How do we arrange the transaction?"
Bai Chen waved his hand, gesturing for Ding Jun to sit in the chair opposite him, and casually asked.
"Boss, here's the thing. According to what I've heard, animal protection organizations don't accept cash or transfers; they only accept Bitcoin."
Ding Jun explained, "The specific transaction method is that we transfer the Bitcoin to a specific account, and after they receive it, they will immediately arrange for delivery."
"In terms of security, it is guaranteed by our largest underground currency exchange center in the south."
So-called currency exchange centers are actually underground banks.
That is, the kind of shady agency that Bai Chen chose when he first sent money to China.
So, hearing about underground banks again...
Bai Chenzhou raised his eyebrows.
To be honest, after his previous experience, he had begun to doubt the credibility of this underground bank.
"How is the reputation of this currency exchange center?" Bai Chen asked in a deep voice.
"They have a very good reputation. In the sausage processing plant where I used to work, there were illegal workers who sent money back to China, and the money always arrived."
Ding Jun scratched his head and said somewhat uncertainly, "I've been here for over a year and I've never heard of anyone having their money stolen by the currency exchange center."
"Alright, let's order three grizzly bear carcasses first." Bai Chen didn't bother to argue and made the decision immediately.
If the other party really dares to embezzle money, he will definitely make them regret it.
Bai Chen wouldn't forget the debt from the strip club in the south of the city—the same underground bank where he'd been scammed while transferring money.
He will make them pay the price sooner or later, and make them return their principal with interest.
"Okay, boss." Ding Jun nodded in agreement.
"Take the suitcase and come with me on this trip."
Bai Chen stood up, picked up the submachine gun on the table, and gave instructions to Ding Jun beside him.
"yes!"
Ding Jun did not ask why, closed the money box, and then stood up.
.....
After going out.
Bai Chen had Ding Jun drive the secondhand pickup truck to the largest real estate rental center in New Mexico.
In the United States, some desirable properties, whether for sale or rental, require proof of legal status.
Previously, I had no choice but to live in this old rental house.
Now that I have legal status, the first thing I want to do is improve my living environment.
Besides.
Bai Chen still needs to go to the bank to open an account; it's not feasible to keep using cash.
It doesn't matter now that I have little money, but it will be a problem when I have more money in the future, such as millions or even tens of millions.
.....
Two hours later.
The Atcac community, located in the northern part of the city in New Mexico.
This place is near the Santorini River and is located in the Colorado Plateau desert region, a typical western region of the United States.
Most of the diving clubs in New Mexico are located here.
Bai Chen's most important task right now is to complete his cultivation at the Refining Body Realm as soon as possible.
Therefore, the place to live must be a place where one can dive.
now.
At the entrance of a luxury villa.
The real estate agent was enthusiastically describing the advantages of this villa.
"Oh, Mr. Bai, this villa is beautifully decorated and close to the city center, and the price is unprecedented."
The real estate agent's voice was full of seductive charm.
"As you know, a villa of the same quality would cost at least $20,000 in Los Angeles."
"Now, for just $3,000, you can own a villa of the quality that costs $20,000 in Los Angeles."
...
Listen to what the real estate agent is saying.
Bai Chen was speechless for a moment.
Comparing houses in the outskirts of New Mexico to those in the heart of the United States is simply treating people like fools.
Do I look that stupid?
"Alright, shut up. I'm renting this house!" Bai Chen waved his hand, directly interrupting the incessantly talking real estate agent.
"Seriously, it would be a huge loss if you didn't rent it..."
The real estate agent didn't react for a moment, then realized that the employer had just said... "rented?"
"Oh God, Mr. Bai, you are the most generous Chinese person I have ever met. You will surely be blessed by the Lord!"
The real estate agent swiftly pulled three contracts and two ballpoint pens from the file folder.
Their movements were so swift, as if they were afraid Bai Chen would change his mind.
Unfortunately, this is an era of economic downturn, and the whole world has been affected.
