Chapter 144 Worrying About Money

The sea breeze is gentle,

Jiang Hao smeared oil paint on the drawing board at will, and a picture of Haitian appeared on the paper.

Suddenly, he saw a figure walking from a distance, and Malena came out. It was ten o'clock in the morning, and she might have gone to the employment agency to ask about her work situation.

She kept her head down, her eyes aimed at the ground, not looking around, let alone looking at anyone.

"Marlene."

Just as Malena walked past Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao called out, Malena raised her head in surprise, "Mr. Bernano, is there something wrong?"

"Malena, are you still looking for a job recently?" Jiang Hao asked with concern.

Malena hesitated, "Yes, still looking for a job."

Looking at the slightly restrained woman, Jiang Hao said, "Malena, consider my previous proposal and be my model. The salary I pay is enough for your life."

"Don't pay attention to the gossip and slander, because even if you don't have any mistakes, even if they make up lies, they will spill slanderous words on you."

"It's not that you did anything wrong, it's that they were jealous."

Malena was a little stunned. In the past, she had only heard two kinds of voices, men's flattery and women's slander. It was the first time someone told her these things.

She suddenly felt that this Mr. Bernano understood her very well.

A pair of beautiful eyes looked around Jiang Hao's face, "Thank you, Mr. Bernano, but I'm leaving."

After nodding slightly, the woman left.

Still so sensitive, she carefully protects herself, but she has no ability to resist. In this world, beautiful women have only two fates, being protected by powerful men or being destroyed by others.

In the afternoon, Davy and Luka came over, and Luka said, "Boss, we have almost done the task you explained, and we have found a total of 20 subordinates."

A few days ago, Jiang Hao issued an order to his subordinates. Now their organization is still too small. If you want to do big things, you must have enough people. However, Jiang Hao's requirements are also very strict. He must be a man of the right age and dare to fight. Dare to fight and keep your mouth shut.

All nine of them can be recommended and absorbed into the organization as long as they are suitable.

"20 people, yes, I will go over at night and accept their oath. David, are the guns you prepared ready?" Jiang Hao said.

"Yes boss, I got a batch of guns in the past few days, and now everyone in the organization has a pistol and a submachine gun as a backup weapon." Davey said.

"How are the supplies ready?" Jiang Hao asked.

"It's only half, our Syracuse is still too small, and the 300,000 lire goods can't be assembled in a while, and I estimate that it will be almost in four or five days." Luca said.

"You can prepare more wine this time." Jiang Hao said.

"Okay, I will find a way to fill the cabin." There is not enough food and drink to make up, no matter what, the main thing is to sell at a high price.

Five days passed in a flash, and the supplies were ready. This time they changed to a 50-ton fishing boat that could carry more cargo. Taking advantage of the night, Jiang Hao set sail again.

This time Jiang Hao didn't let Davy go, but Luka took his group with him. In the future, Luka will be responsible for the smuggling and running of the boat. Jiang Hao has already arranged other tasks for Dawei.

Syracuse is still too small. If you want to raise more materials, you must expand the scope. Jiang Hao considers that he can insert his hand into the black market of several other towns.

After a night of sailing, they did not encounter an Italian warship and arrived in Monastir smoothly. Adi came to pick them up, and the goods were moved directly into the residences and hidden.

There are more than 20 people in Adi's hands now, and Jiang Hao also brought them weapons this time.

Then there is the salary,

Jiang Hao didn't find gold for them, because that thing is useless in Tunisia, and now the best thing is food. When everyone is surrounded by a pile of food, these guys are all smiling.

Jiang Hao said to Adi: "This time I brought a boatload of food worth about 400,000 lire. If I sell it here, it should be sold for 1.2 million lire."

Adi spread his hands, frowned and said, "Boss, you should be able to sell more. Now the price of grain on the black market is expensive again, and this batch of goods is estimated to be sold for 1.6 million liras."

Jiang Hao looked at Adi, "The food is more expensive and we earn more, why are you acting like that?"

"Because food is expensive, our life is even more difficult." Adi said.

Jiang Hao patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I can't control the others, but as long as you follow me, I promise you won't be hungry."

"Thank you so much boss."

However, Jiang Hao considered another question. If the 1.6 million lire were all replaced with Tunisian tobacco, it would be a huge pile. His boat could not hold it. Three hundred thousand liras of shredded tobacco.

"What about the boss then?" Adi asked.

"Then change to gold jewelry." Jiang Hao said with certainty.

Now Tunisia's franc is waste paper, and it is useless to ask for it. When Italy loses the war in two years and Italy's economy collapses, the lira will also become waste paper, and gold and jewelry are safer.

certainly,

Jiang Hao had to consider how he spent the money selling shredded tobacco in Sicily.

When I go back this time, I bring 300,000 lire of cut tobacco, which can be sold for 1.5 million lire, as long as several hundred thousand liras are left to operate.

Maybe in the future, Jiang Hao will not worry about making money, but about spending money.

Luca and Adi already have a complete sales channel. Jiang Hao doesn't need to worry about these, just wait a few days. Jiang Hao said to Luca: "Leave me some chocolate, coffee beans, ham, sausage, and red wine. , give me the remaining 20 boxes."

"Boss, what are you doing?" Luca asked.

"I want to visit the Germans." Jiang Hao said.

Adi next to him was startled and immediately said: "Boss, Germans are very fierce and very difficult to deal with. I suggest you stay away from them."

Jiang Hao shook his head, "Adi, what will happen if you are caught by the Germans."

Adi was stunned for a moment, and said solemnly: "Will be put in prison, or directly shot."

"Yes, this is their way of dealing with smugglers, but I don't want you to be caught, and I don't want you to be shot, so I have to meet the Germans, and if it works, your safety will be guaranteed, and our cause will be It will flourish." Jiang Hao said.

Adi looked at Jiang Hao and was full of gratitude: "Thank you boss."

Of course, Jiang Hao would not go directly to the barracks to meet the Germans. That would be too dangerous. He asked Adi to pay attention to see if the German officer would attend a reception or something. He felt that it would be easier to communicate when meeting on that occasion. .

Of course, if the other party doesn't like the smuggler, it's easier for him to escape.
