As soon as Shamilov received the news, he took a fertilizer transport truck to Wanfeng's base in the afternoon.
"Shamilov, I have to tell you some unfortunate news. The people from the Bear Gang in Blagoveshchensk have set their sights on the fertilizer business." As soon as Wan Feng saw Shamilov, he got straight to the point and for the first time did not use Shabilov's name.
Shamilov was a little surprised: "It attracted their attention so quickly? I thought it would take some time."
"This is mainly a side effect of the expansion of the trade, but that's not the main reason. Sooner or later, you'll attract the attention of the various gangs in Bu City. Everyone wants a piece of the fat meat. But I've already rejected their request. Now that my path is blocked, they'll come back to trouble you. Don't take it lightly. This may be a life-and-death struggle. I'm not aware of the scale and intensity of the fighting among your Soviet gangs, so I called you here to tell you so that you can be vigilant and mentally prepared in advance."
"I am very vigilant at all times."
“How many people do you have now?”
"Over thirty. Uncle Alexei has been training them these days. If you give me three months, I will sweep through the underground world of Bu City."
In the past few days, Shamilov has gathered more than a dozen people, and his team has expanded to more than 30 people.
In Bu City, this is already a community of some scale.
Giving you another three months? That's just wishful thinking. Since the Bear Gang has set their sights on this piece of fat meat, there's no way they'll give you that much time to prepare.
"Shamilov, do you Soviet gangsters use guns in fights?"
"We do have guns, but they won't be used on a large scale. After all, this is a socialist country, so we still have to consider the impact."
Since it won't start like a war, the intensity shouldn't be too great.
"Don't let your guard down this time. The Bear Gang might kill you."
"Don't worry, with Uncle Alexei there, it's just a thought."
"Haha, is your Uncle Alexei even more powerful than a gun? This is the age of firearms, and individual heroism is no longer popular. Besides, a hero cannot defeat four hands, and a tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves. Can he take on an entire gang by himself?"
"You have a point, Wan! What do you think the Bear Gang will do to me first? They won't just come up and fight me head-on, will they?"
"It's hard for me to draw a conclusion on this question, because you Soviets and we Chinese have completely different ways of dealing with people and things. I don't understand the way you handle some things, so I can't offer any valuable suggestions."
The Russians have simple ways of thinking, don't understand the doctrine of the mean, and rarely pay attention to twists and turns when doing things. They usually just go for a hard-nosed approach from the start. How do you make suggestions?
"Then if this happened to you, and you were Xiong and saw this deal, what would you do?"
"You want to listen? What I'm going to do is a little more complicated."
Shamilov nodded: "It can be used as a reference."
"If this were me, I would negotiate with you first and try to buy or replace the agency rights through an exchange of interests, without damaging the relationship and ensuring both parties are happy."
"Oh! Tell me what you would do?"
"The first step is, of course, to buy it. I'll pay you a price you can't refuse for your agency rights. If you're just looking to get rich quick, you might just sell the rights."
This possibility is absolutely possible. When many high-tech products are first invented, the inventors usually choose to sell the patents in order to obtain a huge sum of money when they cannot see returns in the short term.
There are many such examples.
Those who are courageous and far-sighted will choose to start their own business and expand it.
"What if I don't sell it?"
"If you refuse to buy without cash, and you believe your future returns will far exceed your current figure, you will naturally refuse. Then, in the second step, I will use the exchange of benefits to impress you. For example, your gang has only just begun to appear in Bu City, and the land in Bu City has been divided up. There is no place for you to stand. If you want to gain a foothold, you can only seize it from others, right?"
"Yes, we're already seeing signs of this happening. We're in the XXXXX area, which is Braveheart's territory. Some people have begun to question us over the past couple of days."
Shamilov's base is in the southeastern district of Bu City. It is impossible for a gang with more than 30 members to appear without attracting the attention of local gangs.
It’s just that this gang called Brave Hearts didn’t discover Shamilov’s economic channels. If they had, they would probably have taken action earlier than the Bear Gang.
"So I'll offer to support you in your battle with Braveheart, and at the same time, I'll propose a joint venture with you. I think this offer will be very tempting to you. Since I can't monopolize the business, then cooperating with you is also a good option. We Chinese believe that money is shared, and after all, a monopoly on the business will be hated by many."
With the support of a big gang like the Bear Gang, Shamilov and Braveheart will have an advantage in the battle for supremacy and have a great chance of winning. Of course, the premise is that the Bear Gang is sincere in helping and not just being euphemistic.
Shamilov pondered for a long time. "Ten thousand! I have to say your offer is extremely tempting to me. I can give up half of my sales agency to gain your support and dominate a region. This way I will have a foothold in Bu City and the conditions for future domination."
"Smart! This is a win-win situation. Regardless of whether it lasts long or not, at least it's a win-win for now."
"Let's put this aside for now. What if I lose my mind... or as you would say, lose my mind, and refuse?"
"There are two choices. First, since I can't get it and it's not my business, I might just swallow my anger and retreat. Of course, as a gangster, this possibility is extremely small because I'd lose face, and face in the underworld is very valuable. Second, even if I can't get you, don't even think about getting away with it. I'll first cause trouble and then find an opportunity to eliminate you. If you don't have extraordinary wisdom and super strength, you will most likely disappear from Bu City. Of course, this is the way we Chinese think. We won't take action unless it's absolutely necessary. I'm not sure what you Soviets will do."
Judging from the Soviets' nature, they would probably use the third option right away, destroy you directly and seize the agency rights, and then talk about it later.
According to Wan Feng’s understanding, it is two.
If it were not so, why was Tsarist Russia hated by the whole of Europe, and even its Eastern European minions were full of complaints?
This is also the main reason why it was eventually abandoned by everyone.
This time Shamilov fell into a long period of contemplation.
"Wan! Anyway, thank you for your reminder. I will take care of it. Don't worry! I haven't made enough money yet. I will protect myself well."
Wan Feng raised his hand and high-fived Shamilov: "I wish you good luck. I hope I won't hear the news of your death."
