Chapter 321 Inscrutable
Shop around.
After finding Petrov, of course we also have to find Serkin.
After calling Serkin first and asking for the meeting address, Gao Yi went directly to see Serkin.
And although Petrov is a Russian, his most important label is that of a businessman, an intermediary, or a broker, or a broker. In short, the most obvious word about him is business.
So Petrov was polite, low-key, and in some ways simple.
Serkin is different.
Serkin does not live in a mansion, and he lives outside the Green Zone, but his security configuration is luxurious.
They also lived in a villa by the river, but Serkin's villa was in dilapidated condition, and you could even see ancient bomb craters on the walls. However, the gatekeepers of Serkin's villa were four strong white men with big muscles and round waists.
Then there were no women in Serkin's villa. In his villa room there were bearded men with tough looks, strong men with round waists, and old men in their fifties and sixties but with a murderous look.
The villa will not be crowded if there are more than ten or twenty people living there, but if there are thirty or forty people living in it, it will become very crowded, so crowded that it will overflow.
Serkin's residence in Baghdad is like a military camp. Although not all the people here are fully armed, it feels like a military camp from every angle.
It was in such a military camp that Gao Yi met Serkin in the living room of the villa.
Serkin is in his fifties and looks a little fat. Usually fat people will appear very kind, but Serkin is different. Although he is fat, he is very vicious. Although he does not have a big beard and no scars on his face.
The two people talking to Serkin in the living room were both bearded and wearing black round hats.
Gao Yi called to discuss business, and Serkin asked Gao Yi to come in. But when he went in, these two bearded men were bringing things wrapped in plastic bags to Serkin.
The bearded man opened the plastic bag and showed it to Serkin. Then when he opened the plastic bag, Gao Yi smelled a stench, a unique odor, and then Serkin waved his hands with disgust on his face.
The two bearded men put away the plastic bag, twisted the mouth of the bag twice and tied it up to prevent the smell from spreading, and then left the living room.
This wasn't Serkin's intention to show off to Gao Yi. He might really be dealing with something and was just letting Gao Yi catch up.
Gao Yi couldn't see clearly what was in the plastic bag, but it should be four or five ears, because it looked like a small pile.
After sending away his two men, Serkin looked at Gao Yi. He didn't get up, but still sat on the chair. He stretched out his hand towards Gao Yi and said, "Sit."
Petrov's villa has sofas and carpets, which are clean, luxurious and comfortable.
The living room of the villa where Serkin lived was very large, but there were only a few folding chairs, and there was not even a table, nor a carpet, nor a sofa, nor anything remotely close to comfort.
Gao Yi sat on the chair, and then he said to Serkin: "Hello."
"How much do you give me?"
Serkin had no intention of making any polite remarks.
Gao Yi called Serkin, determined the meeting place, found him, and was taken into the living room, and then this is the situation now.
The progress was so fast that it seemed that Serkin had no manners at all.
When talking to Petrov, Gao Yi's conditions were so simple that Petrov didn't even know how to take the business.
When we arrived at Serkin, both Serkin and Gao Yi didn't know how to make demands.
Gao Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Why don't you ask me what I plan to do?"
"I don't care what you do. First tell me how much money you can get, so that I can know whether it is necessary to do your business."
This business is done with personality.
Gao Yi became curious. He really wanted to know how business was done here in Serkin, so after a slight hesitation, he said in a deep voice: "The upper limit is 20 million US dollars."
"Twenty million, yes."
Serkin seemed satisfied with the amount, but the reason why he said so was because he didn't express anything.
Serkin said expressionlessly: "What are you going to do?"
"Uh...I want..."
Gao Yi won't be able to do it this time. What can he say? He can't say that I want to ambush Free Wind.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yi said seriously: "I want to kill an enemy. He has many powerful subordinates..."
"Seeking revenge? It's easy to handle. Tell me who you want to kill, and I'll do the rest for you. If it works, you'll get paid. If it doesn't, forget it."
Gao Yi was stunned, and then he finally said: "That's not how business is negotiated."
"Then how should we talk? If you have any problems, I will help you solve them. Isn't that enough?"
Serkin is not stupid, nor is he reckless, he is probably just impatient.
Gao Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "I can't give you a target to kill him, and I can't confirm the specific time or place. Well, what I can confirm is that I have to deal with a very powerful opponent.
He has about twenty or thirty people under his command. They are very powerful and have very strong combat effectiveness, so..."
"If you are not sure whether it is twenty or thirty people, then count it as thirty people."
The last time we fought against Free Wind in Libya, Free Wind only had about ten people, and those were Hurricanes, Free Wind's own action team.
Now Free Wind's own action team is basically gone. If he wants to capture or kill Gao Yi, Free Wind will definitely need to deploy people, but how many people can the CIA send?
According to Panetta's estimate, the number of people the CIA can assemble in Baghdad, as well as the action teams transferred from headquarters or Europe, is estimated to be only about thirty people at most.
There are about thirty people, which is actually quite a large scale. What’s more, Baghdad is different from Tripoli. The CIA has a lot of people in Baghdad, very many. Generally speaking, Free Wind’s strength in Baghdad will only be stronger.
The process of negotiating business with Serkin felt very torturous, but for some reason, looking at Serkin's behavior, Gao Yi believed that Serkin was stronger than Petrov.
"Okay, let's calculate it as if there are thirty people in the target, and the opponent will fight to the end. Well, they have very strong combat effectiveness. I have to deal with these combatants and then kill their boss. How do you think this kind of business should be calculated?
?”
Serkin fell into deep thought. He thought for a long time and finally said: "Must we completely annihilate our opponents?"
"Yes."
"I can't take on this task."
Serkin's expression didn't change. He still said calmly: "You are dishonest. You hide too many things. I don't want to make any money from you."
At this time, the difference between Serkin and Petrov became apparent.
Mercenaries are commodities to Petrov, not even the cost, because Petrov is just a middleman. He must have the credibility of the middleman, but he does not have to be responsible for the lives of mercenaries, so Petrov can take over Gao Yi's task.
.
Serkin is not a middleman, he is responsible for his own men.
That means there is nothing to talk about, no need to waste any more time.
Gao Yi stood up, it was time for him to say goodbye, but he didn't know why. Maybe it was Serkin's minimalist style that made him feel fresh. He felt that Serkin did have two skills, so he still wanted to cooperate with Serkin.
Gao Yi suddenly said: "If I determine the target, determine the number of enemies, determine the time and place, that is, I have clarified all this information, but if time is very tight, will it be too late to find you again? Or even more extreme, that is
When the battle starts, if I want to find you again, can you still participate in the battle?"
Serkin said without hesitation: "Of course, as long as you make sure you can pay, you can come to me anytime. As for time, that's your problem."
Gao Yi nodded and said: "Okay, if we have the opportunity to cooperate, see you later."
Gao Yi got up and left, walking out of the very old house and the garden without any flowers.
Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua were still waiting for Gao Yi outside. Gao Yi got in the car. After Lin Xianghua started the car, Feng Biao asked curiously: "So fast?"
The whole journey from entering to exiting takes less than five minutes.
Gao Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You should go in with me. This Serkin, uh, I have never dealt with people like Serkin. Brother Biao, have you heard of Serkin before?"
Feng Biao thought about it seriously and said, "I really haven't heard of him. Do you know his nickname, or the name of the mercenary group?"
"I don't know, maybe they are not a mercenary group, but I think Serkin's people are very powerful. I saw at least seven or eight people who are elderly, they must be in their fifties or sixties.
, that look in my eyes makes me feel sick in my heart."
There are really not many people in this world who can make Gao Yi feel scared.
Feeling scared doesn't mean you're afraid, but it does mean that you know it's dangerous at a glance and you're instinctively alert.
Gao Yi took out the phone and said regretfully: "We can't cooperate here in Serkin. Let's find Petrov to settle the person. We'll go see the Tomahawk mercenary group later. You two are more interested in mercenaries."
Familiar, you can decide later whether it’s ok or not. If Petrov’s side can’t do it, then go back and find Serkin again. Hey, why do you find it so troublesome?”
He called Petrov and waited for Petrov to answer the call. Gao Yi said very directly: "Let me meet with the people from the Tomahawk Mercenary Group and Lego. If there is no problem, we can sign the contract today."
