Chapter 521 Benefits

Luke has never been a warm-hearted and nice guy.

But if he can make some extra money by using the power in his hand, he is still very happy.

I was born and died for this city, what's wrong with enjoying it?

Luke didn't say he agreed or refused. He clarified the matter first, and asked, "Who are they? What's the conflict between you?"

Zhang Jianguo said, "Before, I was doing business with my friends in New York, and then the construction company developed, and there were many things to do.

We broke up, and I brought a group of fellow villagers to Los Angeles to develop.

When we first came, the people were unfamiliar and we encountered a lot of troubles. In order to expand the company's business as soon as possible, we also thought of many ways, such as cooperating with local building materials suppliers.

Among them is Jinlang Building Materials Company. We signed a three-year contract with him. We purchase building materials from him, such as cement, wood, steel bars, turf, etc. Their company can help us deal with some troubles.

The contract expired last year.

Some other building materials merchants contacted us, and the price they offered was about 30% lower than that of Jinlong Company, and the quality was better.

At this time, our brothers felt a little uncomfortable. Your building materials are more expensive than others, and the quality is not as good as others. Isn't that taking us for a fool?

When renewing the contract, we expressed to Jinlang Company that we hope they can improve the quality of building materials and lower the price a little bit, even if it is 10% higher than other building material suppliers. Also renewed the previous contract.

Their attitude was relatively tough, and we felt uncomfortable, so the conversation fell apart.

Not long after, we signed a new contract with another building materials company, which not only guaranteed the quality, but also reduced the price by 30%.

It's the four people you saw. They not only came to your house to make trouble, but they also went to make trouble in our construction site before.

I also inquired that this group belonged to a gang called 'Asian Kid'.

Jinlang Building Materials Company has a deep relationship with this gang called Asian Boys. To put it bluntly, Jinlang Company is a leather bag company that relies on the price difference to make money.

I also know that this kind of thing is inevitable.

If Jinlong Company can guarantee the quality of building materials, even if the price of building materials is 10% higher than the market price, I will accept it.

Harmony makes money, after all, they also helped us in the early days.

But their asking price is not only 30% higher, but also cannot guarantee the quality of building materials. For the long-term development of the company, I definitely cannot continue to renew the contract with them. "

Luke frowned slightly, "Is there any problem with the building materials I used to build the house?"

"Don't worry about this, the one for you is absolutely the best, and your friend named John will come every few days. He is a knowledgeable person, you can ask him if you don't believe it.

We did not renew the contract with Jinlang Building Materials Company because we wanted to ensure the quality of the building materials.

If the company wants to grow and develop, I can't ruin my reputation.

To build your villa, I must have 120 intentions. "

Luke asked, "Do you have anything else to do with Jinlang Building Materials Company? You don't want me to help you.

If I find out, I will definitely not care about this matter. "

"Don't worry, I'm telling the truth." Zhang Jianguo sighed softly, "I admit that Jinlang Building Materials Company did help us when we first came to Los Angeles, and we fulfilled the three-year contract.

Now that the contract expires, for the sake of the company's future development, it is impossible for me to keep the original contract unchanged. "

Luke kept staring at the other party, and didn't see any obvious signs of lying. He had heard of the gang 'Asian Boy', and it belonged to a relatively famous Asian gang in Los Angeles.

It's not a big deal.

It's not difficult for Luke to solve it, but the question is what good will it do him?

He just hired Zhang Brothers Company to build a house for himself, and he paid no less for the contract fee, so he had no reason to help them settle their personal grievances.

Why should Luke provoke gang members when there is no benefit.

Luke tentatively said, "Mr. Zhang, I belong to the Robbery and Murder Division. I mainly deal with homicides and major criminal cases. We are not responsible for gang affairs.

However, I have a colleague who works in the anti-crime and anti-drug division, and he can handle this matter. "

"Captain Li, I have known you, and I only trust you, as long as the matter can be resolved, Jinlang Building Materials Company will not trouble me anymore.

I'm only responsible for contributing money and efforts, and I don't care about the rest.

You bother. "

Luke smiled, this guy knows how to be a man, knowing that one thing does not bother two masters.

Luke was also willing to deal with smart people, saying, "I'll ask for you and see if he wants to help."

Zhang Jianguo showed a grateful expression, "Then please, I will thank you very much after it is done."

Luke didn't answer, and there are some things that everyone just needs to understand.

"Is Mr. Li there? The takeaway is here." A delivery boy walked into the yard carrying two boxes.

Luke greets the workers for dinner.

He himself walked out of the yard and dialed David's cell phone number.

After a while, the phone was connected, and a hoarse voice rang out, "Hey, isn't this the hero who saved Los Angeles? I read the news this morning and was about to ask for your autograph, haha."

"Do you have time tomorrow? Ask you to go to the shooting range to practice guns."

"You busy man, why did you suddenly think of asking me to practice shooting with a gun?"

"I want to practice with the shotgun."

"I see. You want a free trainer. The whole police department knows that I'm the best shotgun."

Luke laughed, "Why don't you talk about the entire LAPD?"

"The Police Detective Department is the best department in the entire Los Angeles Police Department, isn't it the default?"

"You're right.

do you have time tomorrow? "

"Of course, enjoy coach David's devil training. Be mentally prepared, I will not be soft."

...

Noviba Gun Club.

Luke pulled into the parking lot, his first visit to the gun club.

This club was chosen by David. According to him, the shotguns here are the most complete in Los Angeles, and the simulated shooting range is also very suitable for shotgun training.

Shotguns, known as street fighting weapons, can cause devastating blows to the enemy at close range. They are extremely powerful and deterrent.

It is also a standard configuration for tough guys in film and television dramas.

Luke has a shotgun study card, but has never had time to use it for practice.

It happened that I had something to do with David this time, and asked him to teach me how to practice shotguns.

A few minutes later, David also drove to the parking lot.

After the two met, they entered the gun club together.

David asked, "Why do you suddenly want to practice guns? Don't say you miss me.

"Recently, I have been exposed to a lot of terrorists, which made me realize that the power of the pistol is not enough, and I still need to continue to learn to charge it."

David patted Luke on the shoulder, "Your choice is right. Shotguns are what men should use."

Luke continued, "I haven't finished yet. Besides practicing shotguns, I have another thing for you."

David pouted, as if I knew it, "What is it?"

"Let's practice the gun first. It's not an important thing. There is plenty of time for lunch." Luke is still looking forward to the shotgun.

"Come on, I'll take you to choose a gun." David introduced as he walked, "There are many types of shotguns, including police, military, and hunting. Different shotguns are used in different fields.

Among them, police shotguns can have a variety of bullets, the most common lead bullets, rubber bullets, and signal bullets. These bullets are all universal. "

"You can try several shotguns as a beginner, but I will focus on introducing you to four commonly used shotguns.

Remington 870, Mossberg 500, Beretta 1301, Benelli M4.

The first two adopt pump-action design and need to be manually operated back and forth after shooting. They are suitable for various applications and have higher reliability.

The latter two are semi-automatic designs, and the rate of fire will be faster. "

Luke thought for a while and said, "Then I'll try a few more shotguns this morning, and choose a suitable one for practice in the afternoon."

"Hehe, don't think that if you shoot a good pistol, you can use a shotgun well, one day is definitely not enough.

Learn it hard, rookie. "

Luke shrugged without refuting, and directly used a shotgun learning card [you can quickly learn and comprehend shotgun skills within three hours. 】

Later, Luke began to practice shotguns under David's teaching.

In Hollywood blockbusters, many protagonists like to use shotguns, such as "Terminator" and "John Wick".

Luke is no stranger to shotguns, but he has never used them in actual combat. The reason is simple. Shotguns have obvious advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it is powerful and has a wide attack range.

The disadvantage is that the recoil is large and the bullet capacity is small, and changing bullets is also a science.

Luke is proficient in pistols and rifles, and has a good foundation in himself, so he quickly adapted to the shotgun style.

The first thing he tried was a pump-action shotgun, which was loaded manually and had a great sense of operation, but had obvious disadvantages, such as a slow rate of fire.

Afterwards, Luke tried a semi-automatic shotgun, which had a much higher rate of fire, but the disadvantage was that it was more expensive.

Of course, the price was nothing to Luke.

Therefore, instead of choosing a pump-action shotgun with a higher (manual) force, he chose a semi-automatic shotgun.

Luke tried several semi-automatic shotguns, and finally decided that the Benelli M4 was more suitable.

This is a semi-automatic shotgun designed and produced by the Italian company Benelli. It was originally a combat shotgun developed for the U.S. military. It fires 12-gauge shotguns. It was adopted by the U.S. military and named M1014.

The Benelli M4 has a modern modular design with a removable stock that can be fired in tight spaces, has a fast rate of fire, holds seven rounds, and has low recoil compared to other shotguns.

Luke himself is good at marksmanship. With the blessing of the shotgun learning card, he mastered the basic skills of using the shotgun in the morning, and gradually adapted to the recoil and shooting method of the shotgun. However, the speed of reloading needs to be improved.

At noon, Luke and David ate together in the Gun Club cafeteria.

"cheers!"

The weather is a bit hot today, and the two of them each served a glass of cold beer.

David drank more than half of the glass in one breath, and burped, "You did a good job training this morning, kid."

Luke smiled, "David, you are a lucky guy, and you are about to witness the birth of a tough guy."

"Shit, you're still far from it." David pointed to himself, "I'm a tough guy."

Luke quipped, "If the standard for a tough guy is bald, then I'm far from it."

David touched his head indifferently, "You are right, this is a tough guy."

"Ha ha……"

Both laughed.

While eating steak, David asked, "Man, what else do you want me to do today besides practicing guns?"

"I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Come on, you kid is doing well now, not only is the rising star of the police force, but also the FBI's criminal investigation consultant, I also want to follow you to get some credit."

Luke was a little surprised, "It's not like the tough guy David would say."

"Otherwise, do you want to be like the vice team? The vice team, the vice team, the vice team...

I'm just telling you.

You tell others, and I won't admit it. "

"Are you not enjoying your time in the anti-crime and anti-drug department?"

"That's not true, it's just... I sometimes miss my days in the Robbery and Murder Division, and I always feel that there is something missing...

Just like the deputy team, I didn't like this stubborn old man before, but now I often think of him. "

Luke picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with him, "Everyone is at the police station, not far away, and I will call you when I have a chance to do something good." Luke took a sip of his wine and continued, "I'm looking for you today , There is something I want to discuss with you."

"Crackling..." David clenched his fists and guessed, "Which gang is not open-minded enough to provoke you?"

Luke briefly described the situation.

David asked, "You want me to help the Zhang brothers? That's not like your style. You don't always like to meddle in your own business."

"If there is no benefit, of course I won't meddle in my own business.

Since the other party has something to ask for, it is not difficult for us, and it happens to be able to earn some extra money. "

"How much money will they pay us to settle this matter." David frowned slightly, glanced around, and said in a voice that only two people could hear,

"Will this money be difficult to handle? Are the Zhang brothers reliable?"

"He just said that there must be a lot of thanks, but he didn't say how much he would give, and even if he gave money, I wouldn't take it."

"Then what do you want?"

"We can take a stake in his construction company, and the two brothers are in charge of running it. We provide them with protection, and everyone can earn money together."

David was a little worried, "I don't know much about the construction industry, are you sure you won't lose money? And I don't have a lot of money to invest in shares."

"The amount of shares is just symbolic, not too high. Even if you don't have it, I can help you pay it out in advance, and you can give it to me after the dividend."

David understood, "Will their brothers agree?"

"I want to talk it over with you before I talk to them.

If you don't want to do it, I'll just say no to them.

Besides, they took the initiative to ask me for help. If they think my request is unreasonable, just decline it.

We can't take risks just to help him. "

David nodded, and the Zhang brothers' thanks were probably a reward.

He also didn't want to receive such unknown money directly.

Paying taxes is also a hassle.

The best way is to do as Luke said.

We do business together, and the construction company also has David and Luke. If those gangsters come to make trouble again, it will be tantamount to harming the interests of David and Luke, and the two can clean them up justifiably.

As the deputy captain of the anti-crime and anti-drug department, David's main task is to fight gang members. As long as he reveals his identity, he doesn't have to do anything. No matter how far those guys go, he will never dare to come to the construction company to make trouble.

So the matter of the Zhang brothers is nothing to David.

If, as Luke said, the Zhang Brothers are willing to allow them to invest in the company at a lower price, it will be equivalent to a long-term profit dividend, which is much more cost-effective than taking a remuneration.

David couldn't help being a little moved, but also a little bit guilty, can the Zhang brothers agree?

Thanks to the book friends for the reward!
