Chapter 190 Preliminary Exploration of the Mutual Aid Association Market

The mutual aid market is not difficult to find. Just grab a Gorky and ask others. 【Latest chapter reading】So everyone found this place very smoothly. When they got here, the parking lot was already full of cars, and they couldn't find a place at all.

"Go down and take a walk first, we will meet at the gate in an hour!" said the colleague in charge of driving.

So everyone got out of the car and started walking towards the place where the crowd gathered. At this time, it is the peak time of getting off work, and it is also the time when the market has the most passenger flow. I heard the noisy voice inside from a long distance, which is rare in such a lively place in the Soviet Union, and everyone felt very novel. So after a lot of discussion, everyone decided to split up.

The female investigator Anastasia walked into the noisy market alone, with crowded crowds and a wide variety of commodities. If it wasn't for the task of investigating the case, this would be a shopping paradise. Anastasia's eyes were already too busy. Even in the largest department store in Moscow, there were not as many types of goods as here.

Anastasia walked forward with the crowded crowd. He noticed that although there were many people here, they were orderly. The crowds flowing in two directions were separated by a rope connected in the middle. Walking along the road separated by ropes. From this alone, Anastasia can be sure that this market did not form spontaneously, but someone maintained the order in Zeli.

Anastasia walked to a booth selling perfume and stopped involuntarily. Women can't resist the charm of perfume, even the women who serve in the KGB. Anastasia couldn't help reaching out, picked up a small bottle of perfume, and opened the bottle cap. Anastasia was intoxicated by the delicate and timeless fragrance, and she couldn't help asking: "Boss , How do you sell this bottle of perfume?"

"500 rubles! Do you want to try it? Beautiful lady!" the stall owner asked with a smile.

"It's so expensive, boss! Can't it be cheaper?" Anastasia asked after bargaining.

"The minimum is 480 rubles, half a kopek is not cheap. Girl, this is an authentic French product!" The boss persuaded.

Anastasia held the bottle of perfume in his hand, and he really didn't want to give it up. But 480 rubles, almost catching up with her monthly salary. But thinking that this kind of perfume can only be bought abroad, Anastasia also thought about it, thinking that money is hard to buy. So Anastasia took out her wallet, counted out 500 rubles and gave it to the stall owner.

The stall owner wrapped the perfume in delicate colored paper, and handed the change and perfume to Anastasia. The stall owner made a lot of money from this business, so he was naturally very happy. He greeted Anastasia graciously, expecting her to buy something more.

"Girl, is there anything else you like? I can give you a little cheaper!" The stall owner said to Anastasia.

"Forget it, boss! This bottle of perfume cost me a month's wages, I can't afford anything else! By the way, boss, your market is so big! Anyone who wants to do business can come here?"

Anastasia asked, pretending to be small talk, what she wanted to get out of the boss.

"How is it possible? Do you know how much it costs to rent a booth here for a month? It's almost 4,000 rubles. If I didn't join the mutual aid association early, I wouldn't be able to rent a place for 4,000 rubles a month!" The boss complained a little ostentatiously. .

"4000 rubles! One month! Boss, you are too rich!" Anastasia said dumbfounded.

"There! Compared with those members of the Gorky Brotherhood, this is not a business at all!" The boss shook his head and sighed enviously.

"Gorky Brotherhood? What does this mean?" Anastasia asked curiously.

"Hmm... Girl, why are you asking this? I told you that you don't understand!" The boss seemed to realize something, and quickly stopped the topic.

"Boss, don't think too much. In fact, I have a sister who also does this, but he is incomparable to you! Now I can only collect a little smuggled goods from the dock seafarers and sell them to others to make a difference, but As you can guess, this kind of business is very easy to do, and those sailors have relatives and friends. My sister often fails to get the goods, so the business is not big..." Anastasia made up a piece of paper The reason won the sympathy of the boss. He even said that his sister was there to see a doctor for his sick husband, which made the boss very unbearable. So the boss let go of his guard and said proactively:

"Girl, if your sister wants to do this job, you can come to me. I'll help her talk to the people of the Gorky Brotherhood. I get all my goods from them!"

"The Gorky Brotherhood? What the hell do they do?" Anastasia continued.

"My goods are bought from them, and so are most of the people in the market! Otherwise, when I go to buy goods next time, I will buy some for you. But you can't sell here, and you can't sell in Gorky. , anywhere else is up to you!" The stall owner replied with a sigh.

...

Half an hour later, the members of the investigation team returned to the assembly point one after another. Everyone got into the car, and the car quickly left the scope of the Gorky Automobile Factory. Everyone began to discuss what they had seen and heard in the market.

"Boss, I found out that this market belongs to the Communist Youth League Mutual Aid Association of the Gorky Automobile Factory, but the people who manage the market are a group of people called the Gorky Brotherhood. They basically monopolize the supply of goods in the market! Only some agricultural products come from Gorky City. Farmers from the surrounding villages brought them here for sale. I think the Gorky Brothers should be the focus of our next investigation!" Anastasia reported to her colleagues in the group.

"I agree with Anastasia, I also noticed that a lot of the goods here are from Italy! Especially some food and textile things, these things sell a lot and have thin margins, no more than perfumes Luxury goods, I think they must have some kind of channel to smuggle this type of goods from Italy on a large scale! Since they can smuggle so many goods from abroad for such a long time, do you think they have a channel to smuggle them? A lot of money is going to Italy!" another colleague added.

"What do you mean?" The group leader looked over meaningfully.

"Boss, I think the Gorky Brotherhood can easily transport funds abroad, otherwise how could they do such a large-scale smuggling business. According to the existing information, such a large-scale, long-term fund operation, It seems that only Nicholas has this ability!"

Everyone in the car was overjoyed when they heard this sentence. Could it be that it really didn't take much effort.
