I was sitting on the main seat in the meeting hall, thinking quietly, and my mind was still thinking about some of the things that the brothers came to say to me just now. Now that I have become the new owner here, many questions have come one after another.
There is no doubt that drugs are the biggest profit here, but the previous sales and relationships were all Mr. Li's. Now that he is dead, I have taken over. But there is no foundation at all.
In other words, I am just holding on to a place that Jinshan has not sold, rubbing my head and sighing. Alas, this is really a headache. It is not so easy to be a drug lord.
Suddenly something came to mind, and I said to Abu and the others: "Come on, Abu. I'll take you to meet a few people. Maybe this problem can be solved."
Abu and the others followed me to the bushes behind the village. Yes, I just planned to meet Mr. Li’s strange guests. It’s impossible that they didn’t know about what happened this time. But they didn’t make any movement, which meant that
They don't care who is in charge here, and now it's time to visit some of them.
Still in that row of houses, Abu and I went to find Crazy Li first. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "I know you have the final say here. I only treat diseases. I don't care who owns this place. I just have a place to live in seclusion."
That’s all.” One sentence immediately showed his attitude.
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, your life is still the same as before. I just came to visit you, and I may have to trouble you more in the future." After saying that, Abu and the others walked out.
The next one is the killer An Ye. When we entered, he still looked like the first time we saw him. He was holding a gun in his hand and wiping it carefully, as if he didn't care about our arrival at all.
I looked at him quietly for a while and said: "Mr. An Ye, I know you are here for money. I came here to say that you will still be my distinguished guest from now on. I will give you 20% of the amount Mr. Li paid you for doing things before."
". I know that the most important thing now is to retain people. The rest is not a problem. Money can be made and talents are rare.
He continued to wipe the gun for a while before raising his head and saying: "Okay, but I am not a subordinate here. So I have the right to refuse if you ask me to do something." After that, he continued to play with the gun in his hand.
I thought for a while and agreed. These people are indeed not my subordinates here. But they are all people with great abilities and may help a lot in the future. So it is good to keep them now no matter what.
Finally, there is the old spy named Claire. As for the other two, they are also killers. I knew they were gone as soon as I came here. Although I was a little sorry, it didn’t matter. The strength of the two of them was about the same as Abu and the others.
.If you leave, just leave.
When we arrived at Claire's residence, this old man was drinking tea leisurely. When he saw me, he asked me to sit down and poured me a cup of tea. He took a sip slowly and said, "Tell me, what do you think?"
"Say, the new owner here."
I don't care about his attitude at all, just like what Mr. Li said before. If you have enough strength, you don't need to be driven by anyone. And I don't intend to drive them as my subordinates, I just hope they stay.
It's enough that I can ask them for help in the future.
I said politely: "Mr. Claire must also know what happened. I come here for no other reason. I just hope that he can continue to live here. There may be many things that I need your help with in the future."
After speaking and waiting for his answer, he said calmly: "You know, I am not driven by anyone. I am hiding here just to avoid unnecessary trouble. As for helping, that depends on your ability in the future.
If I don’t have the strength to stand firm here, I can continue to have a quiet place.”
He agreed, and I said: "No problem, sir. If you need anything here, just ask."
After leaving them and returning to my residence, I began to think about the current situation. I still live in the same place. Mr. Li's previous residence was burned down by a sneak attack last time, and I am not used to living there. I still live here with Abu and the others.
habit.
The problem now is that I don’t have any external connections, and without sales, there is no money to make. I simply can’t stay here for long, and the first thing to solve is the sales problem.
Most of the markets for drugs here used to be Southeast Asia, the United States, Europe, etc. In addition, China is also a large sales market, but now I plan to change the sales share.
I plan to reduce domestic sales. I actually hate drugs. They have been deeply eroding the Chinese people since the Opium War, but there is no way. I can't completely cut off the domestic sales. I would like to, but this is impossible.
of.
Not to mention how many addicts will go crazy if I stop, and how many dark forces will soon unite to kill me. Once many things appear, you cannot completely stop them, and there is always a reason for their existence.
I could only reduce domestic sales and increase sales to Southeast Asia, the United States, Europe and other places. After thinking for a long time, I called Mr. Li's former sales subordinate.
Two people came soon, and I asked: "Were you in charge of drug sales here before?" They both replied: "Yes, Mr. Xiao. The previous ones are all old customers. Do you have any instructions?"
I thought for a moment and then said to them: "You can contact them all, right? They must all know the situation here now. You send people to contact the responsible persons of all parties. In addition to our domestic sales reduction of 30%
, and others to increase sales to Europe and the United States.”
The two of them said with embarrassment: "Well... you will make a lot less money due to reduced domestic sales, and... some old customers will have objections to this."
I said firmly: "You can make money from other places, just contact me as I said. Don't worry, I will give you 10% of the benefits you had before."
After hearing that I not only caused no harm to their interests but also increased them, they happily agreed. I said: "Go ahead, two brothers. Thank you for your hard work."
They quickly said: "Mr. Xiao, you're welcome, this is what we should do." After that, they walked out.
I leaned back on the chair, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. The problems I faced were not limited to these. There were many more. Yesterday, Abu and others told me that there had been several incidents where government troops came to carry out so-called "anti-narcotics" raids.
But they didn't go too deep. Later, Abu and the others took people to have a small confrontation and then left.
I threw the cigarette aside and thought about these things carefully in my mind. This was just a test. Mr. Li used to have connections with many government officials, so he usually didn't make any big moves, so this has always been the case.
.Everyone knows that this place cannot exist.
As long as there is mutual benefit, they will turn a blind eye. A delicate balance is formed. This is the largest drug manufacturing base and should be destroyed. But if it is really destroyed, then many countries will
Drug users and drug dealers may want to riot outright.
It is impossible for any government to take over this place for overt drug production. Therefore, the governments must control it on a reasonable balance. Otherwise, if they directly join forces to take big action, this place will be destroyed quickly. After all, this is just a place.
Just helping the mafia.
And this is something I can't help. For politicians who have a relationship with Mr. Li, it was his personal relationship. Now that he is dead, we have severed some common agreements on interests with those people.
So now I'm in a state where I'm riding a tiger and it's hard to get off.
All I can do now is get this place up and running as soon as possible, and I will consider some political things later. I know in my heart that this place is safe for the time being, and I have other ideas in mind.
I won't stay here forever, sooner or later I have to get out of this place. After all, this place is like a grass bandit who dominates the mountain. Sooner or later, I have to step onto the stage of the civilized world.
One day later, the people sent out to contact us brought back the news. Some dark forces in the country were very dissatisfied when they heard that our sales share had been reduced. Others were very happy to have the increase, and they had no idea who would be the master of this place.
They don't care, what they want is profit, as long as they can make money.
Only one person gave me an answer that surprised and angered me. The brother who brought the news hesitated for a long time. I told him to just say what he had to say.
He then said: "Old Nick from Thailand was very angry when he found out about the general and was very dissatisfied with you." I had expected this, so I snorted and asked him to continue.
He said cautiously: "In addition, Old Nick asked us to reply. He wants to take another 10% of the profit from our sales in Thailand. He said...if he doesn't agree, our products will not be able to enter Thailand."
I was furious, damn. Taking 10% of the profit alone? Does he know how much? This old fox is bullying me as a newcomer. Any dissatisfaction with Mr. Li is all fucking bullshit. Here is the real purpose.
After a while, I forced myself to calm down. I almost jumped out of my teeth and said to this brother: "Go and answer him, and I will agree to his request." After that, I sat down heavily.
There is no way, I can only promise him now. A strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake, not to mention that I am not a strong dragon at all, not even a snake. Clench your fists tightly, Old Nick! Sooner or later I will get it back!
At this time, Abu came in. Seeing my appearance, he said to me: "Xiao Bo, what's wrong, are you okay?"
I shook my head and said, "I'm fine. How is the situation outside now?"
Abu said: "There is no big action from the outside world for the time being. I am here to tell you that a woman has come to see you. We don't know the situation. Now Nubo and the others are receiving her there for the time being. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Woman? I don’t know anyone here. Who will come to me?
"Let's go and see. Who will come to see me?" I thought as I went out with Abu.
