Chapter 937 Drunk and cowardly


    About two hours later.


    Yin Zhongxian wore an inconspicuous semi-old windbreaker and appeared in front of a convenience store on the other side of the city on a bicycle.


    ?According to the plan just now, he should go in now, buy a bearer phone card with a short-term contract, and then immediately make calls to the numbers he had written down before.


    However, at this last moment, he hesitated a little——


    On the one hand, this is absolutely a blatant crime.


    Although it may seem strange to consider these things under the current circumstances, as a scholar who has lived by the rules for half his life, Yin Zhongxian is actually used to being pushed forward by others in work and life.


    Previously, he didn''t think it was a big deal when he got emotional, but now that he calmed down, he still found it quite difficult to make such a "deviant" decision himself.


    ??Moreover, even putting aside the inner struggle, there is another, more practical problem.


    Once this step is taken, there is no turning back.


    ??If the deal is made rashly, the other party can make a verbal guarantee first, and then just throw him aside to die after getting the thing.


    Many spy-themed novels or movies are written this way.


    ??Will the Chinese do the same thing?


    ??Moreover, the phone numbers he copied from the website were all responsible for external liaison business.


    ?Hurry and call them by yourself, just say I have what you want...


    Others may not believe it either...


    Yin Zhongxian parked his bicycle on the side of the road, put his hand in his pocket, and gently twisted the note.


    ?After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and walked into the convenience store as planned.


    ?The store owner is a semi-bald man about 50 years old. He is leaning on a worn-out wooden chair, crossing his legs and concentrating on watching TV.


    I didn’t even notice that there were customers entering the store.


    ?Of course, this will be a weekday afternoon, and indeed there will be very few people visiting.


    Yin Zhongxian did not immediately remind the other party, but came to the counter in silence.


    Stacks of phone cards were **** with rubber bands and neatly stacked in paper boxes.


    “Buy…don’t buy…buy…don’t buy…”


    Two voices lingered in Yin Zhongxian''s mind, making it difficult for him to make a final decision.


    “Eh?”


    ?At the same time, the boss finally realized that there was someone standing next to him and quickly stood up to greet the guest:


    “I’m sorry, I was so absorbed in watching TV that I didn’t notice you, our guest.”


    “What do you want to buy?”


    ??As he spoke, he walked across to Yin Zhongxian, opened the glass door behind the counter, and prepared to get something for the latter.


    "I…"


    I don’t know if it was because of dry mouth or hesitation, but in short, Yin Zhongxian just opened his mouth to say a word, and his voice got stuck in his throat.


    “Ahem—I want to buy a bottle of water…”


    At the most critical moment, he retreated almost instinctively.


    “Oh…what brand do you want?”


    Hearing that Yin Zhongxian said he was just buying a bottle of water, the boss suddenly felt a little discouraged.


    ?Compared to these fancy electronic gadgets on the counter, the profit from a bottle of water is simply negligible.


    “Nongxin…Nongxin is good.”


    The store owner turned around and went to get him some water.


    Yin Zhongxian was also a little annoyed at his own weakness.


    He knew that if he walked out of here in despair today, he might not even be able to "walk into a convenience store" in the future.


    Just when Yin Zhongxian''s mind was like a blur, a voice that sounded familiar to him came from the TV next to him.


    “The Geoje Shipyard, a subsidiary of our group, is still building these eight LNG ships according to the original plan. Any rumors that the Norwegian company is considering replacing Party B are false news..."


    Yin Zhongxian turned around suddenly and looked at the small TV set on the shelf next to him.


    That was a press conference.


    A press conference held by Samsung Offshore Engineering. The person sitting in front of the camera and talking eloquently at this time was none other than the executive director he had just contacted, Song Minyong.


    “Here, your water.”


    ?The store owner put a bottle of mineral water on the counter:


    “500 yuan.”


    ?But Yin Zhongxian seemed not to hear it. He neither took water nor paid, but just stared blankly beside him.


    “You are also paying attention to this news, right?”


    ?The store owner has a good temper. He thought that the customer in front of him was a melon-eater like himself, so he immediately started chatting:


    "Let me tell you, these Chinese people really overestimate their capabilities. Our shipbuilding in South Korea is expected to surpass Japan next year and become the world''s number one. What technology do they have that is worth stealing for us to use?"


    ? ? Geoje City is one of the top shipbuilding industry cities in South Korea and even in the world. Therefore, it has become one of the regions with the highest per capita income in South Korea.


    ?As a local who has reaped enough dividends, the shop owner naturally has a very strong identification and confidence in the country''s shipbuilding industry.


    However, when hearing this sentence in Yin Zhongxian’s ears, it didn’t feel right at all.


    Outsiders don’t know the twists and turns, but he knows it clearly.


    “Hey, young man.”


    ?Seeing that Yin Zhongxian did not answer, the shop owner continued to show off his chatty nature:


    “I see that your tanned skin is tanned... you also work in a shipyard, right?”


    ?This sentence frightened Yin Zhongxian so much that he was immediately shocked.


    “Oh...no, I am a house builder, project manager.”


    ??While the two of them were chatting, the press conference on TV had already entered the next round of questions and answers.


    ?This time, the reporter had obviously prepared in advance. He used the structural fracture accident of the bulk carrier that occurred last year as an example and asked Samsung Offshore how to ensure the safety of the ship.


    "The bulk carrier you are talking about should be the Leader L built by Mitsubishi Shipyard in 1977."


    "I would like to ask this reporter to note that there are very obvious differences between the construction standards of bulk carriers and LNG ships, as well as shipbuilding technology in the 1970s and this century, and such comparisons cannot be made directly, not to mention, that ship The boat is still made in Japan.”


    Song Minyong is by no means a fool. When faced with this kind of question, he still answered fluently, and he also stepped on another competitor by the way:


    “In short, you can rest assured that the so-called BOG reliquefaction system infringement and safety hazards are completely slandered by competitors. They lost to us in fair competition, so they used this method..."


    “In addition, the technologies used on these eight ships have been rigorously tested and certified by Geoje Shipyard. The relevant reports and all construction processes also have detailed review documents to ensure that there will be no problems that cannot be fulfilled..."


    Hearing this, the convenience store owner nodded with satisfaction:


    “Look, I’ll tell you.”


    “Our shipyard is still responsible...”


    ??However, Yin Zhongxian next to him had his eyelids twitching, and he almost opened his mouth to criticize Song Minyong, an old dog, at the TV.


    Implementing responsibilities…


    It can indeed be implemented.


    It’s all in my head, right?


    For a time, the courage and impulse that had just been suppressed by cowardice resurfaced.


    Anger arises from the heart, evil comes from the courage.


    “That’s right, boss.”


    He almost squeezed out these two words from between his teeth:


    “Give me another short-term bearer phone card… and a small bottle of sake.”


    ?Hearing this request, the convenience store owner suddenly smiled. He quickly lowered his head and took out a phone card from a pile:


    “A ticket worth 7,500 yuan contains 5,000 phone credits. It cannot be recharged if it is used up...counting sake and water...the total is 10,000 yuan."


    Obviously, the profits here are quite generous, and there should be a lot of room for bargaining.


    But Yin Zhongxian no longer cared about that much, and paid directly without saying anything.


    ?The shop owner took a few banknotes and checked them carefully at the window, the smile on his face getting brighter.


    Then he took down a wine bottle and a disposable plastic cup from the shelf next to him:


    “Young man, don’t be so sad, come and have a drink...”


    As the saying goes, drinking makes people timid.


    Yin Zhongxian didn’t ask for the shop owner’s cup, but blew a bottle of sake directly into the mouth of the bottle.


    ?Then, with a little bit of alcohol, he found a secluded place and made the phone call that would affect the rest of his life...
