1758 Negotiation
People, everyone, people from different classes and different jobs, sometimes face the same problem - choice!
Choice is a difficulty that humans have always encountered since the beginning of wisdom. This is not a tabletop card game. You can make a choice casually and say "do it again" with a smile after failure.
There is no second chance in life. You never know who will gain more or lose more when you make a choice!
There is no peeking in life, you can never get back what you missed, and you don’t even know what you lost!
No matter you are poor or rich, you always spend your life in constant choices, no one is an exception!
Work, study, life, family, love, even the eyes of the gambling dogs as they sit at the gambling table and look at the "big" and "little" on the table losing their wisdom!
Mr. Trueman needs to make decisions and choices. Everything he does will bring a series of consequences to himself and the Federation that he cannot predict!
At this time, in a slightly remote area of Bupain, a group of people were also making choices.
After that mediation table meeting, the Brothers Grimm seemed to have agreed to the mediation that would end the war!
Of course, it may also be due to current pressure.
Not only are the top federal politicians dissatisfied with their current fight, but during the state visit, even if the Brothers Grimm have Lynch's support behind them, they cannot be too arrogant!
The Brothers Grimm were also very reliable in their message, demanding compensation because they were the victors!
But now because of the intervention of Bupen's underground emperors, they had to stop becoming victors.
Wealth, territory, business!
They want these!
It's not that everyone can't accept this. In fact, the tougher the Brothers Grimm act, the less they want to compromise, and the five major families feel relieved.
They agreed on a location, just on the loop line of Bupen.
The south side was developed earlier, so there will be less construction sites after the ring line expansion. Some areas have been spotted by real estate developers before, and high-rise buildings and ring line business districts have been built.
Ring business districts are a recently invented term that refers to commercial centers built far away from the city center.
This sentence sounds as ridiculous as those skilled women saying that they can't sleep with just anyone!
Is it far away from the city center or commercial center?
The facts tell people, yes!
In fact, residents in slums also have the desire to consume, as well as some spending power!
Don't expect them to buy those expensive luxury goods for a long time, but for ordinary products that can support the scene, the sales are actually good!
Products that cost one or two hundred yuan are very popular in the Ring Commercial Center, even better than similar products in the city center.
Federal capitalists have long been aware of the fact that the consumer market is stratified, but most of the time they focus on high-end consumer groups.
It’s not that they are short-sighted, it’s because these people are so fucking rich!
Just like Lynch, he can spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a lighter, but ordinary lighters cost one yuan each. Even if he sells tens of thousands of them, the profit is not as good as the one sold to Lynch!
When the cost difference is not particularly large, luxury goods have larger profit margins, while mid- to low-end products need to bear heavier raw material costs and labor costs.
Capital is always pursuing high net profits, so it is not wrong for people to compete for the high-end market!
When the scale of the sinking market is small, it can indeed be ignored!
Especially during the Great Recession a few years ago, if you talked about the sinking market at that time, you would only be torn to pieces by Lynch’s second-hand auction!
But now, under the general environment, the economy is recovering, people's incomes are increasing, people are willing to spend some money to show off, and there is room for development in the sinking market.
As the core of federal finance and the decision-making power of the economy, the first commercial centers specifically targeting lower-class consumers emerged.
There are actually quite a few big brands here, but many of them are sub-brands of big brands.
They use a concept of brand confusion to make people think that they are buying products of a certain brand A, but in fact they are just buying other brands under brand A.
But people don't care!
It's like a luxury car brand created a new brand for the mid- to low-end market and named the brand "Big Smart".
They carry the brand name of luxury cars and sell cars under the "Da Smart" brand. Many smart people never feel anything wrong after buying them. Instead, they are proud that their cars have the pedigree of luxury cars!
This time, the gathering of the five major families and the Green Brothers was in a commercial center on the southern ring road of Bupain.
They booked a restaurant.
These gang members are different from those at the top of society. They like to eat and chat at the same time.
In fact, characters like Lynch will basically not choose restaurants during formal negotiations. Only when they need to discuss some things privately and need a private environment, they will consider places such as clubs.
They go to clubs not because they think they are safe. In fact, they are wary not only of their political and business enemies, but also of the other party they are talking to.
Putting yourself into the other person's environment is the most outrageous mistake!
In the restaurant, the head of the Serkins family has been talking to a haggard old man next to him. This old man is the "opponent" chosen by the Grimm Brothers.
After half a year of war, the old man and his family actually don't have much strength anymore.
His face was extremely embarrassed and gloomy, as if a family member had just died - in fact, he really had died, and more than one of his family members!
Criminal organizations such as the Buppen Five, and many more like them, tend to be religious and familial in nature.
Most of the main cadres are relatives of the family head, just like this old man.
The third person in the family is his youngest son, who flew into the sky in his beloved car last week.
Except for his youngest son, his two daughters, two sons-in-law, his biological brother, biological sister, and other nieces and nephews have all returned to the embrace of God!
Now only some more distant relatives and his eldest son are left!
The Brothers Grimm bit them like mad dogs, and he didn't even know why the war between him and the Brothers broke out!
Perhaps he expressed his dissatisfaction with the rapid rise of the Grimm brothers and their attempt to get involved in Bupen at the pan-federal gang parliament meeting?
Are these idiots targeting him?
What a bunch of lunatics!
This mediation came unexpectedly. He thought these people would just sit back and watch him be replaced.
The person behind him simply abandoned him.
There will be no one to help a useless waste!
He thought he was dead, but something happened again.
The old guy from the Serkins family kept talking about how important he was, and he was even willing to take in himself and his eldest son.
The old man actually knew very well that this greedy wild dog was interested in his remaining territory and business!
The pan-federal gang council organized by the five major federal families will decide the business and shares of each family every two years. This sounds more reliable than some departments of the federal government!
In fact, this is indeed the case. The authority of the Pan-Federal Gang Council is unquestionable, and those who can join are basically underground emperors from various regions of the Federation.
Their spontaneous organization to form such a higher-level underground world ruling body is to ensure that these super criminal organizations will not have any impact on society.
Of course, what they said was to avoid fighting each other, but what instigated them behind the scenes was to maintain more stable social security.
Who does what business and how much share they have is determined.
Now his family has been almost wiped out, but as long as he doesn't die, his business will still be his!
As long as you have money in the Federation, it is not difficult to recruit a group of people!
Unknowingly, the time arrived at the appointed time, and soon someone from his subordinates came back with news that the Brothers Grimm had entered the mall.
The old man sitting in the first place has his eyes closed all the time. He is old and has some problems with his eyes.
Prolonged use will cause dryness and pain. The doctor's advice is that he had better carry eye drops with him and use his eyes less, otherwise there is a risk of blindness.
At this time, he opened his eyes, his gaze was a little scary, "Are they just the two of them?"
The subordinate quickly replied, "Yes, I only saw the two of them!"
Although no one said anything, everyone could feel that someone was relieved, and it seemed that there was more than one person.
Soon the Brothers Grimm appeared in the restaurant.
All the tables and chairs in the restaurant were removed for this negotiation, which is also a rule of negotiation between gangs.
They couldn't leave anything behind that could hide many people, and they had to show their honesty as much as possible. Even Ma Zi, who was responsible for maintaining simple security in the restaurant, didn't have many people, and they all stood in a position where they could see clearly at a glance.
The two brothers walked into the restaurant one after another, with Noel in front and Fern behind. Everyone's eyes were focused on Noel.
Someone was about to go forward and search him, but was stopped by the old man in the front seat.
Searching Noel and Fern's bodies at this time may not give them a chance to fall out!
The brothers fall out faster than they can flip through a book!
Don't give them the chance to cause trouble!
"Forget it, no need!"
Noel had a smile on his face, and Fern stood at the door. He walked into the restaurant and found his seat - there was only one empty chair.
After sitting down, he crossed his legs.
I have to say that Noel is actually very handsome. He wears a pure white shirt with a brown silk vest, then a light gray suit and a memory coat.
He also wore a scarf, but it was only placed on the outermost part and hung down along the outside of his coat.
The meticulous hairstyle, the hair wax that reflects the light, and his flying expression, whether these old people admit it or not.
They are all a little jealous!
