Chapter 109 Potential Competitors
Seryozha and Papa Petrov got into a dilapidated Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle. The car drove on the dilapidated city streets for a while, and stopped downstairs in an abandoned building. The person in charge of receiving Seryozha and his father got them out of the car and led them into the building. At the entrance of the building, there were a few young men with guns, smoking and drinking together. The approach of Seryozha and the others made these people involuntarily put their hands on their guns.
"Don't be nervous, this is the boss's guest, come and see what you like!" The guy walking in front patted a guy on the shoulder while talking, and soon someone opened the door and let Seryosha and the others went in.
Walking into this building, Seryozha was taken aback. Compared with the dilapidated exterior of the building, the inside is truly unique. It's almost like a warehouse, with all kinds of electrical appliances, electronic products, auto parts and other goods piled up in disorder. Especially the dozens of TVs on the shelf are turned on at the same time, and the programs of the TV stations are playing on the screen, which is very similar to the TV wall in the shopping malls of later generations. In addition, you can also see a lot of the latest foreign home audio-visual appliances, video recorders, high-end audio, and game consoles. On the other side, there are many spare parts for cars and motorcycles. It's just that these things don't look like they came from the right way, but more like stolen things.
"Come and come, you are welcome. You can take whatever you like. It is a gift from the boss to you two. They are all authentic imported goods from Western Europe..." I have been with Serezha and The kid from Petrov introduced enthusiastically.
"I didn't expect Mr. Ivankov's business to be so big. I really admire it! Actually, my father and I also do this in our hometown, but most of them sell some alcohol, cigarettes, food and other things. I really admire Mr. Ivankov. Mr. Vankov's tricks!" Seryozha couldn't help complimenting the other party, he really wanted to know how big Ivankov's business was, after all, Seryozha also wanted to transplant the Mutual Aid Market in Gorky City to Moscow, but Now it seems that these Moscow gangsters have taken over this market, after all, the supply of food in Moscow is much better than in other regions.
"We are also involved in cigarettes and alcohol, but later the boss' brother Hassan took a fancy to this part of the market, so our boss gave up this part to Hassan! Hassan's territory is in the west of the city, where the most expensive products in Moscow are supplied. Cheap booze and cigarettes."
These words undoubtedly dealt a big blow to Seryozha's plan. You must know that for a long time, the plentiful and cheap commodities in the mutual aid association market have always been one of the treasures for Seryozha to attract people to join the mutual aid association. The goods in the mutual aid societies are much richer than in the state stores. However, the local gang organizations in the metropolis of Moscow have occupied this market, and in terms of cost, Seryozha does not have an advantage. After all, these gangs have colluded with some foreign theft groups, and Seryozha's goods But they all cost real money to purchase from abroad, and there is no comparison between the purchase channels of the two.
Seryozha wandered around with his father in this building. The scale of goods sold here is simply beyond Seryozha's imagination. For example, the auto parts sold here have been sold for so many years. Based on the experience at the Gorky Automobile Factory, it is not impossible to assemble a complete car from the parts here. Seryozha would like to know how Ivankov transported these things to Moscow. With a safe channel, the risk of such a large-scale smuggling operation is very high.
"Oh! There are so many good things here! In fact, I have some money recently, and I have been wanting to buy a better car. I want to know if you have any complete cars for sale here?" Seryozha suddenly asked the receptionist their fellow asked.
"Oh? You want to buy a whole car, absolutely no problem, but we don't have any goods here. I don't know what kind of car you like, Mr. Ulyanov?" The other party asked with a smile. After all, the other party bought a car,
It's not any other product. If it's a TV or something, Ivankov will definitely give it to the other party directly as a favor. As for the car, Ivankov doesn't have so much money for a favor.
"Brother, have you ever seen 007? I always wanted to build a sports car like James Bond. That car looks exciting, but unfortunately I have never been able to buy it in China. You know I have liked this type of car for a long time. , don't worry, money is not a problem, it doesn't matter if it is a little expensive, you must understand my feeling that money can't buy the good things in my heart!" Seryosha said pretending to be impatient.
"Ah, you're talking about Aston Martin, right? It's a good car! Do you just want this brand, or must it be the same model as James Bond?" asked Ivankov's subordinates .
"Preferably the same style as James Bond, I really like it, can you get it?" Sergey asked eagerly.
"No problem, you have to understand that there is nothing Mr. Ivankov can't get in Moscow, don't worry! But you may have to pay a part of the deposit in advance, about half of which is 50,000 US dollars, I don't know you!" Ivankov There was doubt in the tone of his subordinates. He was a little worried that Sergey would not be able to pay so much money. You must know that this is not a small commodity. The other party ordered a limited-edition luxury car, which is not easy to deal with. If it takes a lot of effort to transport it into the country, the other party will lose a lot if they can't afford so much money.
"Don't worry, sir, I will do what I say. I have 10,000 U.S. dollars on me and put it here first, and I will send someone to deliver the rest tomorrow." Sergey Sha said and took out a thick bundle of U.S. dollars from his pocket. Slapped it in front of the other party.
Seryozha seemed to be carelessly fixing the car, but Petrov noticed that Seryozha was thinking, he took a chance to hold Seryozha and whispered: "Seryozha, what are you thinking?"
"Dad, didn't you see that? They are doing a business with us. If I want to bring our business to Moscow, I might conflict with them!" Seryozha looked at the surrounding environment , whispered vigilantly to the old man.
"Shouldn't we have to squeeze all the way to Moscow?" asked the old man, puzzled.
"I'm sorry, Dad. Now the development of business is beyond our control. More and more customers come to us for money laundering, and the head accounts in Gorky City and Uzbekistan are about to dry up. The situation forces me to We have to take the risk of expanding our business to Moscow. You know who our customers are, except high-ranking officials and gangsters. Both kinds of people are not easy to mess with. If something goes wrong, I’m afraid there will be no room for us in this world. land!" Serezha said with some melancholy.
"I want to tell you, my child, no matter what you do, as long as you don't do something that hurts nature and will go to hell, I will stand by your side. Although what you do is not in line with the laws of this country, it has helped a lot. Poor people, so I think what you are doing is right, at least God will forgive you and bless you, my children, please don’t destroy the kindness in your heart!" The old man said to Sergey Shale with earnestness. (To be continued..)
