295: Chapter 293 The Use of Money 295: Chapter 293 The Use of Money After adjusting all radios to the frequency commonly used by the Satan rcenary Corps, it ant that Gao Yang and his team’s mission was officially over and all their work had been handed over to Maide.
The job of a rcenary is not to attract attention, being seen by too many people is not a good thing, at least Gao Yang thought so.
Except for Bruce, who was still in charge of first aid, the five mbers of Gao Yang’s team handed over their responsibilities and found a room where they could catch so sleep.
When they woke up, the sky had already darkened.
Gao Yang rubbed his eyes, considering where to find sothing to eat, only to see Frey had also woken up and was staring blankly at two bags full of cash.
“Frey, what are you thinking about?”
After looking at Gao Yang, who had just woken up, Frey let out a sigh and spoke solemnly, “I’m thinking about hdi.
We fight for this money, but what was hdi fighting for?
Even if he died, he wouldn’t get a single US dollar.
If it had been one of you who shielded from that grenade, I wouldn’t have been surprised, but why did hdi risk his life to save ?
Apart from his na, I hardly knew anything about hdi, and he didn’t even know my na, only my nickna.”
Gao Yang walked over and patted Frey on the shoulder, saying seriously, “We fight just for money, while hdi and his kind fight for sothing far more important; their war is truly aningful.
You have to understand that, dying for money is not worth it; dying for ideals and dreams is how to die without regrets.
As for why he sacrificed himself to save you, I guess, well, I can’t guess.
Maybe he just saw you were in danger and rushed over.
You know, on the battlefield, people don’t have so much ti to think, they just see and do.”
Frey nodded quietly and said, “Boss, should we be leaving?
When do we go?”
Gao Yang spoke in a deep voice, “If we’re quick, we can leave tomorrow.”
After pondering for a mont, Frey spoke solemnly, “I want to go to where the bodies are stored, tell hdi, tell him my na.
Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll never have the chance again, and I don’t want hdi not to know the na of the person he saved.”
Gao Yang smiled and replied, “We only use nicknas instead of real nas because we’re worried about people finding out our true identities.
Of course, you can tell soone your na if you think they are trustworthy enough.”
Gao Yang’s conversation woke the others, and Cui Bo yawned, “What ti is it?
I woke up hungry.
Let’s find sothing to eat.
Hey, how much money is in the bag?
Have you counted it?”
Gao Yang waved his hand and exclaid, “Haven’t counted it yet.
Co on, let’s count it together.
Maide is busy now, but I guess he will deliver our money after he has taken care of everything.”
The banknotes in the two bags were all in hundred-dollar bills, ten thousand to a bundle.
With five people counting together, they finished within minutes, and the total was nine hundred eighty thousand US dollars, just shy of a million.
After counting the money, Cui Bo laughed heartily, “Ninety-eight thousand, let’s just round it up to a million.
Although we didn’t capture Mokadi alive to make him cough up the big money, according to the Conservation of Character Law, we didn’t do too badly this ti.”
Gao Yang asked curiously, “Conservation of Character Law?
What do you an?”
Cui Bo proudly explained, “Think about it, everyone except was injured last ti, and Brother Yang, you almost died, earning just seven million five hundred US dollars, right?
This ti, everything went smoothly.
If we were to make a huge profit, that wouldn’t be fair, right?
So, a million US dollars is quite a lot.”
Gao Yang replied, annoyed, “Idiot, we still have three hundred twenty thousand US dollars on the way.”
Cui Bo looked surprised, “Oh, you didn’t refuse Maide?
Isn’t that the Skull Gang’s last reserve?
With your temper, I thought you wouldn’t want that money.”
Gao Yang, irritated, said, “Shut up, you fool.
Alright, ti to divide the money.
It’s four hundred sixteen thousand in total, so let’s figure out how much each person gets and then take our share.”
Cui Bo shook his head repeatedly, “No, no, after changing the way we divide money, I can’t figure out how much I should get.
Soone else with better math skills should do it.”
Gao Yang looked toward Li Jinfang but saw him shaking his hands, refusing.
He turned to Frey, only to see Frey smiling bitterly, “Don’t look at .
You guys know I didn’t go to school that much.”
Left with no choice, Gao Yang looked to Glolov for help.
After Glolov spread his hands, he said gravely, “Don’t look at .
You three Huaxia people went to university, can’t you even do this simple math?”
With resignation, Gao Yang said, “My math is…
let’s just say I won’t insult physical education teachers.
I’ll do it.
Accounting is too troubleso.
Moreover, what does accounting have to do with being from Huaxia?”
Glolov gave him a look of disbelief and said, “Who are you kidding?
Huaxia people are all mathematicians.
Your three-year-old kids can do arithtic.
In the United States, when I went shopping at the supermarket, you calculated faster than the cashiers with machines.
Can’t you do this simple calculation?”
After a bitter smile, Gao Yang reluctantly said, “Please, that’s just the most basic stuff, right?
But you’re right, to soone who needs a calculator to subtract 47.5 from 100, Huaxia kids might indeed seem like math geniuses.
Alright, I’ll do the calculations.”
$4.2 million US Dollars, Gao Yang took ten percent off the top for himself, which was $420,000.
Cui Bo and the other three each received five percent, which was $210,000 per person.
This left $2.94 million US dollars, and Bruce’s salary and bonus were to co out of that.
After finding a figure, Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “How do we pay Bruce’s money?
How should the bonus be calculated?”
Everyone frowned, and after a mont of hesitation, Glolov said, “Test Tube is a good man and has perford well.
All in all, I believe he deserves to share equally in the remaining money with us.”
Glolov’s proposal was unanimously approved, and Gao Yang imdiately called out loudly, “Alright, $2.94 million, everyone takes another $490,000 each.
You four each take $700,000; we’ll round up Bruce’s share to $500,000, which will co out of my share.
It’s easier to calculate that way, and the rest is mine.”
Gao Yang took the most, and it was a trivial matter for him to round up Bruce’s share by giving him an additional $10,000.
After clearing up the accounts, Li Jinfang asked in puzzlent, “We always divide the money after the event, why the rush this ti?”
Gao Yang waved his hand and replied, “It’s nothing, once it’s settled, there’s no lingering concern.
We’ll wait for Maide to co, then everyone can take their money.”
The mont Gao Yang finished speaking, they heard Maide’s loud voice from outside, “Ram, have you woken up yet?
I’ve brought your money over.”
Maide had co over with Bruce, who looked very tired after a day’s work.
After waving to Gao Yang and the others, Bruce made a trip onto the ship and then let out a long sigh, “I’m dead tired, it’s finally over.”
Maide shouted in Somali outside for soone to bring four backpacks from the car.
He placed them one by one in front of Gao Yang and then said apologetically, “Sorry for the delay, there was too much to handle and I couldn’t deliver the money earlier.
Check it, $3.2 million, it should be correct.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “Could you wait outside for for a mont?
We have sothing to discuss.
After that, I’d like to talk to you about sothing.”
After Maide nodded again and left to wait outside, Gao Yang urged, “Co on, hurry up and divide the money.
I’ve got things to do later.
Bruce, you have $500,000 US dollars, co over and take yours first.”
Bruce looked slightly surprised, “This much?”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “You did well, it’s your bonus.
Now, everyone, hurry up and divide it; I’ve got things to take care of later.”
Frey was the quickest, counting out $700,000 and stuffing it into a spare bag, he then said, “I’m going to step out for a bit, call when it’s ti to eat.”
After that, Frey hastily left the room, not ntioning where he was heading, and similarly, Li Jinfang took his money and went out, with the rest following suit, almost everyone left promptly after getting their money.
Once everyone else had taken their money, what remained was Gao Yang’s.
He stuffed it all into a bag and said to the only person left in the room, Bruce, “I’ll step out for a bit, rest here, I’ll call you when it’s ti to eat.”
Right after saying that, Gao Yang left the room with the bag and briskly walked to Maide, who stood beside the car.
He threw the bag down at Maide’s feet and said urgently, “Skull Gang needs money for many things, especially after just taking over Bosaso, relying on sea tolls is far from enough.
Take this money to use, and don’t tell the others, alright?”
Gao Yang knew Maide was out of money and needed it urgently.
As the leader of the Satan rcenary Corps, he couldn’t sacrifice the interests of other mbers, so after collecting the $3.2 million from Maide, he was free to give his own share to Maide.
To avoid making Glolov and the others feel awkward about taking the money away, Gao Yang chose to give it to Maide secretly.
Maide’s expression was strange as he nodded and said in a low voice, “Thank you.”
Gao Yang shook his head, “No need for thanks, hey, we’re all close here, no need for nonsense.
I’m off then, but keep this between us.
We’ll talk about other stuff later.”
Maide reached out to stop Gao Yang as he turned to leave, a smile on his face, “No need to rush, they already know.”
Gao Yang stared in astonishnt only to see Cui Bo and the others walking out from behind the car with awkward expressions on their faces – Frey, Glolov, Li Jinfang, not one was missing.
Seeing Cui Bo and the others, Gao Yang initially felt surprise and embarrassnt but then ca to an understanding.
When it ca to relations with the Skull Gang, these n were no worse than him, perhaps even deeper since they were the ones who worked closest with every soldier day in, day out.
Plus, none of these n were the type to care about money, so it was no surprise that they all made the sa choice.
