Chapter Four(1/2)
Tao Xi, who skipped away, did not choose to go down the sewer again this time but walked towards a nearby manhole cover~
Surviving in the sewers does not mean avoiding the streets~
After all, they are also human beings. They also need to survive, eat, drink and relieve themselves. They need to buy daily necessities on the street. In addition, these people also need to socialize~
On the contrary, the people who live in the sewers may know more about the streets than many ordinary people in Los Angeles County!
For example, in order to have enough to eat every day, these people who hang out in the sewers know which supermarkets in Los Angeles County will have sales on which products. They do this to save money!
For example, in order to avoid being tracked by their enemies on the street, these people living in the sewers may know the street vendors on every street. Maybe their enemies are inquiring about you in the neighborhood one second, and this group of people may be asking about you the next second.
People hiding in the sewers can receive a small note from the drain above their heads telling them to escape!
Tao Xi is no exception, as the successor of Los Angeles County Prison No. 86 Foreign Trade!
Although Bolton stayed in prison for a long time for unknown reasons, Tao Xi, who had been living a life of poverty since he was 8 years old, could not stand it. Under Bolton's careful care, he deliberately made friends with many "little people"!
Under Tao Xi's tips and purchasing agents, this group of "little people" will become familiar with each other, not to mention whether these people who have been released from prison will accept Tao Xi's favor~
As for offending Tao Xi?
It’s really not true, after all, his wrestling and fighting skills were taught by Bolton. There is no guarantee that they, a group of mixed society people, will not go to jail again!
When Tao Xi walked to the street, he didn't mind at all that the group of gorgeously dressed "masters" disliked him and took a detour. Instead, Tao Xi walked around like a little ruffian on the street.
, Occasionally when he meets one or two good-looking girls, Tao Xi will go up and blow a "rogue whistle"~
Tao Xi, who was wandering aimlessly, walked towards wherever there were crowds of people~
In order to facilitate the management of these places, the local government divided Los Angeles County into neighborhoods and communities one after another~
The name of the block where Tao Xi lives is "Mei-Au Industrial Street" because 80% of the residents on this street rely on [Mei-Au Paper Industry] for their lives. The busiest place in the block was just completed not long ago.
Walmart Plaza~
The crowded Wal-Mart Plaza was full of people, but when Tao Xi wandered here, he squatted on a flower bed with a smile on his face and left in no hurry~
Because not far away, a girl who looked like a college student in gorgeous clothes was being stolen!
A black man with sly eyebrows held a shiny blade in his hand and skillfully drew his hand towards the bottom of the girl's purse~
With a branch in his mouth, Tao Xi analyzed with great interest how much money the girl who was about to pass by had in her purse.
But when the girl saw Tao Xi staring closely at her, she glared at him fiercely. The girl who circled around for a long time quickly disappeared from Tao Xi's sight~
Seeing this scene, Tao Xi muttered angrily: "A dog bites Lu Dongbin, but it doesn't know a good heart!"
Suddenly, a big black hand placed on Tao Xi's shoulder~
"Hey! Do you know that what you did just now made me almost get discovered!"
"Nilta, do you know that you have just been released from Prison No. 86 for less than a month? Do you want to eat the expired food I picked up for you from the garbage dump again?" Tao Xi directly put him
The branch in his mouth spit out onto the black guy~
When Nirta heard Tao Xi's words, her original fierce expression turned into a sneer: "Little Tao Xi, it's not my brother who said you, you said you have such a good background and opportunities, as long as you say
In a word, not to mention other neighborhoods, at least these people in the American and Australian communities must be with you. You said that with the help of these people, you still need to live in a place like a sewer?"
"Go, go! Get out of the way!" As soon as Tao Xi heard Nilta's bewildering conversation, he kicked Nilta. Nilta did not dodge but hugged Tao Xi and said, "Little Tao
Xi, what's wrong? Are you hungry? Brother, do you want me to buy you a KFC? I remember that Old Nar's grandson likes this the most!"
As soon as Tao Xi heard Nilta talking about Old Nar, Tao Xi's original anger towards Nilta also subsided.
"That's why you stole from a vain female college student. Can you have some conscience? You see her backpack has been worn out and she has been sewn up to reuse it. You really are not particular at all. Wait until you come in next time.
Prison, I will definitely let Uncle Bolton teach you a severe lesson."
"Alas~" Nilta first sighed and looked at the security guard at the entrance of Wal-Mart not far away and explained with some envy: "This is a society where people cannibalize people. Do you think I don't want to work hard after I get out of prison?
But no one gave me a chance!"
Tao Xi's face calmed down again after hearing Nilta's explanation~
Two people, one older and one younger, just sat on the flower bed and stared at the flow of people in a daze.
After a long while, Tao Xi whispered: "Do you have any friends in the US-Australia Paper Industry?"
When Nirta heard Tao Xi ask this, she immediately patted her chest and said, "Don't look at your brother, I can't do it now, but I think I also played a role in the factory of American and Australian Paper. I..."
"Yes, yes! Don't brag, you are in jail because you stole a truck of newspaper materials from American and Australian Paper!" When Tao Xi saw that Nilta was bragging to him again, Tao Xi quickly looked annoyed.
He waved his hand and interrupted: "Can you ask someone to help check whether American and Australian Paper has recently purchased sewage treatment equipment in accordance with the requirements of Los Angeles County?"
"Sewage treatment equipment?"
"What's that?"
A black line flashed on Tao Xi's forehead. Although Tao Xi knew this, Tao Xi didn't know what this thing looked like!
Tao Xi directly put his hand into Nilta's pocket and took out a handful of money. Nilta did not stop him, but planned to see what Tao Xi would do next.
Tao Xi counted out 1.5 US dollars from a handful of money, then crumpled the other money into a ball and stuffed it back into Nilta's pocket.
With $1.50 in his hand, Tao Xi walked to the newsstand in the Wal-Mart shopping mall and read it. When Tao Xi didn't find what he wanted, Tao Xi directly asked: "Grandpa Lombe, is there any Los Angeles Industry?"
Magazine?"
Longer, wearing a pair of silver-framed reading glasses, was lying on a recliner in the newsstand and squinting his eyes~
When Long Er heard someone calling him, he slowly opened his eyes and adjusted his glasses frame. When Long Er saw it was Tao Xi, he immediately showed an amiable smile: "Oh! It's little Tao Xi, Los Angeles Industry
Magazine? Let me show it to you, eh, I found it, but this is a magazine, I can’t give it to you for free!”
"$1.50! The extra money Grandpa Long Er has will be treated as the money I didn't pay you for the last time I took your newspaper."
Longer looked at the $1.50 on the newsstand and smiled, then put the money away without saying a word~
The black boy Nilta was stunned when he saw the magazine that Tao Xi thrust into his hand~
But Tao Xi turned the magazine to his advertising interface and pointed at the advertisement above and said: "This is it. Find someone to help me take a look! Has anyone added this equipment in their factory?"
Tao Xi didn't wait for the black boy Niertado to ask, Tao Xi said directly: "Don't ask if there are too many, I know the rules better than you, and I will give you 30% when the matter is settled. Some people may be needed to help in this matter.
You go and solve the manpower problem."
"If the matter is settled, you will stop stealing things on the streets of the United States and Australia. Maybe my matter is settled, and you can use the money to open a restaurant near the United States and Australia factory building. In this way, you can turn over.
Got it!"
After saying these words, Tao Xi left without giving Nilta a chance to bargain or ask any more questions.
Because this is a favor that Nilta owes him. Although he, Tao Xi, is not very old, the favor owed to him must be repaid!
Not to mention that little Tao Xi promised him to share 30% of his income after everything is done~
Tao Xi, who came home late at night, heard Marco's bragging voice echoing in the sewers before he even got close to his "home".
"Hill! You have to believe me, if we can meet the Saudi Arabian a few more times tomorrow, maybe we can let their suitcase full of US dollars be left in the hotel!"
"Brother Marco, although I also want to go to school, you should stop doing such risky things. If brother Tao Xi finds out, he might really break your legs!"
"Tch, I usually let him do that!" Marco muttered in a low voice and then said nothing again, but Hill quickly turned off the light bulb~
Because Hill heard the sound of "rustling" in the nearby sewer. This was the sound of someone's soles touching the cement floor of the sewer in the sewer~
Marco also reacted very quickly. He turned around and slipped out a black stick from the back of the cabinet and handed it to Hill's hand. Marco also held an iron rod to block Hill behind him, preparing to face the unknown challenge.
.
Tao Xi nodded with satisfaction when he heard the sound of Marco and Hill dragging iron rods echoing in the sewer: "Okay, okay, there's no need to move those things, I'm back!"
Tao Xi dragged his tired body and sat down on their wooden bed~
The wooden bed made a "bang bang bang bang" sound in unison. When Marco saw Tao Xi coming back, he took a serious look at him and found that Tao Xi had no new injuries. Marco first pulled away the only valuable bed in their house.
A KFC with a packaging bag was taken out from the cabinet and stuffed into Tao Xi's hand~
"Eat, eat, this is the hard-earned money of me and Hill for a day~"
Hill smiled and said: "Brother Tao Xi, Brother Marco got this from a man with a turban on his head when I went to pick up cigarette butts after get off work today~"
Tao Xi touched the KFC hamburger that was still warm in his hand, turned around and said to Marco very seriously: "Mr. Williams from the Hilton Hotel! But use his job to vouch for us so that we can go in and pick up cigarette butts. You
Don’t cause any trouble to Mr. Williams!”
"I'm just joking, I don't really want to go."
When Marco heard Tao Xi's scolding, Marco muttered with an aggrieved face and lay down with his back to Tao Xi.
Seeing Marco lying on the bed with a depressed look, Hill quickly leaned over and comforted: "Brother Marco, I know you are doing it for my own good, and I also know that before my grandfather passed away, he asked you two to let me go to school.
But I feel that my current knowledge is enough, and the problem we have now is how to live."
Taosi heard that Hill, who was 2 years younger than him and Marco, was such a director.
Tao Xi suddenly felt a little tight in his chest. In fact, it was not that Tao Xi had not used his brains to talk about the Saudi Arabian people Marco was talking about.
You must know that the Hilton Hotel was the leading high-end hotel in the United States in the late 1980s. Those Arabs who made money in the oil industry often stayed in this kind of hotel! But the key to the problem is that the lobby of this Hilton Hotel where they can have unimpeded access is Williams.
Mr. is responsible.
When Mr. Williams first met Tao Xi, he was a poor man who was unfortunately framed by others and sent to Prison No. 86. If Tao Xi, who was only 11 years old, had not begged Bolton for mercy, maybe Williams, a fair-looking man, would
