Chapter 198 Big Sale

"Our magazine...is selling very well."

Annan, who was a little idle today, ran over to Roderick's place after school.

——It’s definitely not because Annan doesn’t want to write a magic paper.

Roderick, who was busy in the company in the city center, was used to someone's sudden arrival, and this time the timing was just right. He had something to say.

"Our adult magazine initially printed 5,000 copies to test the water, but it was sold out within a few days. Even if our price was on the high side, we printed an additional 10,000 copies and still sold them. Empty……"

Roderick's expression at this time was very strange, a subtle expression of wanting to laugh but not being able to.

There was no other reason. The success of the magazine really made him feel very complicated.

The full-color magazine uses the latest technology and is made with the clearest color pictures available. Its selling price is naturally much higher than other magazines.

This adult magazine has not done much advertising. Although it is indeed sold nationwide, normally it should not cause too much trouble.

However, the reality is beyond everyone's expectations.

Their magazine was a huge success, even too successful.

"For the third additional issue, we simply printed 50,000 copies. This time we finally met the market requirements..."

Roderick pushed a recently signed document in front of Annan.

"What is this? Hmm? Cooperation contract?"

Annan read the document at a glance.

"Ah? The Banxi Empire wants to introduce our magazine?"

Rodrick, whose expression was indescribable, nodded.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Annan doesn't know much about business operations, and he doesn't know if there are any traps in this contract, but Roderick should be able to handle it, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

"It's indeed a good thing... I have to say that this business is very profitable, but it seems a bit..."

Roderick finally found a suitable description.

"Should I say, not doing my job properly?"

The reason why Roderick founded this color magazine was mainly to spend money quickly and use up those invisible funds as soon as possible.

Now, all the dirty money from arms smuggling has been used up, and the officials have not come to the door so far. It seems that this matter has really passed.

Roderick still didn't relax about this. He didn't know whether the officials were too busy right now, so they didn't bother them, or whether the officials really didn't find any evidence, but no matter what, they still needed to continue to be vigilant.

Under this somewhat nervous situation, this magazine, which I had never thought would be successful, turned out to be an unexpected success. It would be better to say that the purchase was a little too good. Even the Banxi Empire across the sea Some people noticed the business opportunities and contacted them very quickly.

No matter how Roderick thought about it, he felt that it was a bit too outrageous. The development of things was a bit too magical and had no real feeling at all.

"If you don't do your job properly, you won't do your job properly. Your so-called job is not a good thing. Besides, the more funds you have on hand, the easier it will be for you to act, right?"

Although Annan did not know Roderick's condition frequently, he would contact him from time to time, always at least knowing the condition of his collaborator.

"The Nares gang that is now divided is just a mob in the final analysis. To be honest, if you weren't so nice, you would have used the current method to deal with them, and everything would have been much smoother."

Roderick didn't respond.

Because he didn't know what to say.

The Nares Gang, or to be more precise, the Nares family, is a complete gangster family. The core of all power and interests is in the hands of people named Nares.

All members of the Nares family died suddenly in one night, which naturally greatly affected the operation of the gang. In addition, the current Nares gang is no longer as cohesive as before. After the death of the leading Nares family member After that, the gang predictably had various internal disputes immediately.

The most targeted among them is Roderick, the only survivor of the Nares family and the heir to the entire family property. Nares.

In fact, at the very beginning, there were still many backbone members of the Nares Gang who wanted to win over or join Roderick. However, just because of Rodrick's naive and stubborn relationship, many people quickly abandoned Rodrick. Then I found some good reasons to hold him accountable.

In Annan's view, the disagreement was purely based on interests, and it could also be said that Roderick was too unreasonable at the time.

Roderick, who should be in charge, was too weak at that time, and he could not ruthlessly use all means to deal with the fragmented Nares Gang.

This repeated concession will naturally turn into a symbol of powerlessness in the eyes of gangsters. Many people think that Roderick is easy to bully.

In fact, Rodrick at that time was really easy to deal with.

However, after what happened last time, Roderick finally decided to change his approach.

Roderick, who controls a large amount of money, can easily shake down the various factions of the Nares Gang that do not have any firm determination, even without using any force.

Moreover, because the government had tried its best to deal with the big drug lords in the north and south, the supply of anesthetics here was completely cut off, making it easier to deal with those people.

For those who forcibly occupied the property of the Nares family, Roderick no longer had any morals. He cut off the water and electricity supply there without mercy. It was such a simple operation, even if he did nothing afterward. , those people may all self-destruct.

The current chaotic situation of the local gangs is not caused by the destruction of a single big gang. Now that the three major gangs have collapsed, there are not only internal things to consider. Although this is Roderick's plan A difficult problem to face, but the same goes for enemies.

Roderick was finally able to let go and make full use of the huge funds in his hands. As long as he was not reckless and always acted carefully, he would definitely be able to get the results he wanted in the end.

"By the way, what's going on with the Coulier Gang now?"

Annan is more concerned about another unstable factor than the various factions of the Nares Gang that have become easy to deal with.

"There's no movement."

Hearing a certain frowning keyword, Roderick shook his head.

"Ero from the Coulier Gang has been completely silent since then. He obviously thought of so many ways to deal with us, but in the end he just let him go without knowing the reason... This is very wrong."

"If we don't know the reason, we can only continue to be on guard."

Annan had an idea on this issue, but because it was too uncertain, he did not say it out loud.

He felt that he might be a little too narcissistic. He thought so. The person Ero of the Coulier Gang might not have to deal with was Roderick, nor the Nares Gang.

Maybe they wanted to test Annan himself, who he was.

"Maybe there are other reasons we don't know that prevent them from taking action. Don't think too much. If everything is fine now, wouldn't it be fine?"
