Chapter 49: Falling apart(1/2)
These days were very painful. From the rainforest to Medellin, from Medellin to Los Angeles, the length of each stay was determined by John's injury.
After staying in Medellin for three days, John's wound was already infected on the day he returned to Medellin. The doctor injected him with antibiotics, but the wound still caused systemic infection.
The condition was very simple, and the primary infection focus was very clear, which were two gunshot wounds. However, in the best hospital in Medellín, under the diagnosis and treatment of the best doctors, John was still unable to be cured even if he was injected with a large amount of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
John's systemic infection.
Finally, Frank found a way to rent a charter flight, turned the ordinary charter flight into a medical charter flight, and sent John back to Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, John was on the verge of death several times, but under the best medical conditions, the Los Angeles hospital finally identified a bacterium in repeated blood culture results, then tried several antibiotics, and finally adopted an antibiotic that was not
A broad-spectrum, yet highly targeted antibiotic.
The hospital in Medellin hung up John's life, and finally the best hospital in Los Angeles, which is also the best hospital in the world, completely saved John's life.
After the medication responded to the symptoms, John's condition improved immediately. Five days after returning to Los Angeles, John finally woke up.
John finally opened his eyes. His eyes were very dull, but after blinking several times, he finally said in an unintelligible voice: "No, you better leave me alone, I can't resist it anymore."
Gao Guang heard a small voice, he raised his head suddenly, stood in front of John's hospital bed, and then he said urgently: "Hey, can you hear what I said?"
John rolled his eyes, his eyes were still confused, but after waiting for a moment, he finally said: "Well, I'm in the hospital and not dead, right?"
"Yes, you are in the hospital, you are fine!"
Gao Guang grabbed John's arm. He was very happy, so he said anxiously: "Great, I knew you couldn't die."
John's eyes turned around. He saw Frank, Eraser and George, so the corners of his mouth curled up and he said, "I didn't expect you were all here."
Frank smiled and said, "Man, I'm glad you survived."
They briefly said a few words and congratulated John, but then the doctor came in, so Gao Guang and the others were kicked out of the ward.
Outside the ward, the joyful atmosphere in which John woke up was quickly diluted by the solemn atmosphere.
In just a few days, Frank already had a few white hairs on his temples. There were no wrinkles on his face, but from the look of his face, he seemed to have aged more than ten years.
"John is awake."
After repeating a nonsense sentence, Frank closed his mouth. He hesitated for a long time before whispering again: "When John wakes up, our expenses will be roughly determined, so let's divide the remaining money today."
.”
Gao Guang didn't speak, but when he looked at Frank, he seemed a little sympathetic.
Frank took out his cell phone, clicked a few times on the calculator on the phone, and whispered: "We have a total of 2.05 million U.S. dollars, 358,000 for purchasing items, and 40,000 for renting an airplane."
Rubber said slightly impatiently: "Don't calculate these detailed accounts, just talk about the total."
"No, it's better to make a clear calculation. It cost us seven thousand dollars to stay in Medellin Hospital, renting a chartered plane is forty thousand dollars, and the bill already paid by this hospital is four hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars, but John still needs
Follow-up treatment, although the cost of follow-up treatment will be much less, but including unpaid bills and follow-up treatment costs, it will cost approximately US$600,000."
Frank breathed out and said: "John does not have medical insurance, and the company's personal accident insurance does not pay out, so we need to pay all the money ourselves. The total cost is one million and five thousand US dollars."
No one spoke, Frank clicked twice on the calculator and whispered: "I will transfer all the remaining money to your account according to the proportion of capital contribution."
There was still no one talking to Rubber or George, but Gao Guang whispered: "Captain, do you really want to retire?"
Frank was silent for a moment, then he smiled hard, patted Gao Guang's shoulder, and said: "You are such a good brother. I really want to continue working with you. You are my best employee, better than them."
More, but I'm sorry, I don't want to maintain the company anymore, I'm really not suitable for this line of work."
After finishing speaking, Frank looked at Eraser and George calmly and said: "You two are going to War Company, have you told Danny?"
Rubber frowned, then turned his face to the side, but George whispered: "I told you, we will wait until Bottle Cap wakes up and make sure he is okay before going. Captain... I'm sorry."
Frank waved his hand and said: "There is nothing to be sorry for. I am sorry for you. If you had been fighting instead of staying in the king's defense, you wouldn't... nor would you... I should be sorry."
.”
Rubber whispered: "We are here for that money. This is an investment. Our investment failed, so you don't have to feel sorry for anyone."
Frank nodded and said: "Thank you."
King Defense Company is not bankrupt yet, but Frank decided to sell King Defense Company before the company went bankrupt.
In fact, King's Defense Company was destined to fall apart when the treasure was discovered in a location that overlapped with a guerrilla camp.
What Frank is doing now is to make sure that John can survive, and then roughly determine how much it will cost, and then immediately divide the remaining money, and then everyone will go where.
Rubber and George are going to Warfire Company. They were originally members of Warfire. After their failure to start a business with Frank, it is normal for them to return to an old team that is strong and familiar. The CEO of Warfire Company is very welcoming.
their return.
Frank said that he wanted to retire, and he would use the remaining money and the money from selling the company to get married and live a normal life.
As for Gao Guang, apparently he is unemployed.
These have all been decided long ago and were basically determined before returning to the United States. Now we are just finalizing the final touches.
Frank and Eraser had nothing to say, and it would be embarrassing to say anything more.
Rubber looked at Gao Guang, spread his hands, and whispered: "Mad Dog, come with us to War Fire. I am friends with... Zhan Huo and I are friends with many people. I will help you to speak, and you will definitely join War Fire."
Frank smiled hard and pretended to be relaxed: "Yes, go to war with them. You are born to do this. The starting salary is six thousand US dollars. Although you are a newcomer and have no military experience,
But no one will refuse you unless he is crazy."
George glared at Rubber with a reproachful look. He was blaming Rubber for not saying this in front of Frank, but after hesitating for a moment, he still whispered: "Come with us, the brothers are still together, and the war is just over."
You are an experienced veteran, but I believe you can definitely enter the war."
Rubber said immediately: "Just tell me what happened in Colombia. Every team needs a mad dog. Trust me, as long as you agree, I will speak for you right away."
Gao Guang hesitated for a while, and now Frank quit, but he didn't know what John had planned next. If John also went to War Company, then he would go with him. If John didn't go, he probably wouldn't go either.
Although the treasure hunt failed and 400 million US dollars turned into nothing, Frank and his team are very reliable. Just because they did not leave John alone, and because they were willing to spend money, and they were willing to use their own money to save John's life, this
The team is already very reliable.
This person, sometimes he can risk his life to help you, but he can't spend money.
Therefore, Gao Guang did not refuse Rubber and George's invitation, but he did not agree immediately. After thinking for a moment, he whispered: "I will think about it before making a decision. Maybe I will return to China and not be a PMC."
Rubber was stunned, and then he said with a look of astonishment: "Can you find a more profitable job than this?"
Gao Guang doesn't have much work experience, but he really can't find a job that can earn 20,000 US dollars a month, let alone 20,000 US dollars. He can't find a job that can earn 6,000 US dollars a month.
The monthly income of 6,000 yuan does not mean US dollars, but RMB. Among the jobs that Gao Guang has held since graduation, the highest monthly salary is only 5,200 yuan. It does not have five insurances and one housing fund, and it is only a temporary job.
So Gao Guang was shaken almost immediately. Twenty thousand dollars a month was more than 120,000 yuan converted into RMB. He couldn't refuse such a job.
A peaceful and stable life is indeed wonderful, but if you don't have money, forget it.
Gao Guang took a deep breath and said with a firm face: "I want to ask the bottle cap. If he goes, I will definitely go!"
Rubber opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak. George shook his head at Rubber and said to Gao Guang: "You should think about it slowly and don't care about Bottle Cap's opinion."
At this time, the doctor walked out of John's ward, and Gao Guang immediately greeted him and said, "Doctor, how is he?"
"He is fine and will not have any sequelae. Of course, the patient still needs to recover. You can go in now."
The best hospital, the most expensive price, and of course the best doctor. It was not easy to save John's life, but it was definitely worth the money.
Gao Guang couldn't wait to enter the ward, but at this moment Frank grabbed him and whispered: "Don't tell him what happened, wait until he recovers completely."
Gao Guang hesitated for a moment and said: "Then I...okay."
After he recovers, he can't ask John if he wants to go to war. But since Frank has told him so, Gao Guang thinks it's better to follow Frank's advice. As it is now, it's obvious that there is something going on inside. He can't tell John too much.
direct.
Four people walked into the ward, and after seeing them, John said with a dissatisfied look: "Guys, I feel like I have been beaten many times."
Rubber curled his lips and said: "This is normal. You were beaten very badly after being captured. This is the fate that a prisoner should have."
John was lying on the bed, but this did not prevent him from giving the rubber the middle finger with difficulty.
Four people stood on both sides of John's hospital bed. Then, because of the conversation that had just occurred, their faces were not very natural, and their smiles were forced.
Before Gao Guang could speak, John suddenly said: "You look like you are sending off the body, which makes me very uneasy. Tell me, what happened, um...are you two going to war?"
"No."
"Won't."
Rubber and George immediately denied it, but John looked at Frank and said seriously: "The two of them are going to fight. What about you, what are you going to do?"
Frank smiled and said: "What can I do? Continue to run the King's Defense. Man, get well soon. I am very tired by myself."
John was silent for a moment and whispered: "If you speak so politely, then you are going to go bankrupt."
Frank's smile immediately disappeared.
John breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, everyone, we know each other very well, there is no need to tell these meaningless lies. I am very grateful that you did not leave me alone, but what needs to be broken up will always break up.
There is nothing to hide."
Frank whispered: "I want to retire, I want to get married and live a normal life."
"You want to get married, where are you two?"
Rubber shrugged and said: "Go to the war."
