Nothing has happened yet and Wan is already worried about his own death.
"Don't rush to wish me good luck. This is putting you in their shoes. If you were me now and the Bear Gang wanted to take over my business, how would I respond? Just compare it with the three points you just listed."
This guy is going to be finished if I don't drain all the artistic cells out of him today. I use him as my opponent and now as myself. Does the word "idiot" seem to be written on my head?
"If I were you, I'd also have to see what strategy the Bear Gang would adopt. If it's the first one I just mentioned, of course I'd refuse, but of course the prerequisite is how much money he can offer. If he can offer 18 million..."
Shamilov interrupted Wan Feng and said, "You're really imagining it! If the Bear Gang really offered me 10 million rubles, I'd actually give them the fertilizer business so I could focus on steel. The key is, let alone 10 million rubles, they don't even have a million. Would I sell it for a few hundred thousand? I can make hundreds of thousands a day trading a thousand tons of fertilizer. Would I sell it for a few hundred thousand?"
Shamilov was not bragging. He listened to Wan Feng's advice and returned to Bu City. Instead of selling goods in retail, he started wholesale at his own base. In order to speed up the turnover of funds, his wholesale price was very low.
For example, the wholesale price of a representative wine was 500 rubles per box and more than 40 rubles per bottle, which was not much different from the retail price in the Soviet Union at that time.
But he has no control over how much the vendors sell them for.
The factory price of a ton of fertilizer was 200 rubles. Adding the handling fees for crossing the Soviet border and customs declaration, as well as taxes and labor costs, he still had a net profit of more than 100 rubles on a box of wine.
He can earn 100,000 rubles from 1,000 tons of fertilizer, and he sold the agency rights for 80,000 or 100,000. What a fool he is!
"Alright! Let's reject the first one, and move on to the second. If the Bear Gang offers me the condition of supporting you in unifying the underground forces in your area and running these businesses with me, I will agree to give up half of the agency rights in exchange for their support."
Why not agree? It's just giving up half of the fertilizer management rights. While you are still young, relying on others to eliminate dissidents is also a way forward.
At worst, I can wait until my power grows stronger and then wipe out the Xiongban class.
"The last one is self-explanatory. Either you conserve your strength and retreat, then seek revenge when you make a comeback. If you can't bear it, you'll have no choice but to fight. If you win, the sky will be your limit, and you can soar freely in the city. If you lose, you'll have to retire and farm in the countryside."
Shamilov returned to Bu City with Wan Feng's opinions and many concerns.
After returning to Bu City, Shamilov told Alexei the news brought by Wan Feng.
"Uncle Alexei, what do you think the Bear Gang will do to us?"
"Just do whatever you want. They will naturally come to you to ask for your agency rights. If you don't give them to you, just start working. What's there to think about?" Alexi disagreed. It's such a simple thing. Is there any need to think about it?
There's little hope of relying on Uncle Alexei for any advice.
"Uncle Alexei, I talked to Comrade Wan on the other side for a long time."
"What did he say?"
Shamilov recounted Wan Feng's words from beginning to end.
After thinking for a while, Alexei said, "What Wan said makes sense. Now let's just wait for the Bear Gang to show up and see what they're going to do. If they take the second option, we can consider giving up half of the fertilizer. But if they take the third option and just rob it, then we'll just go for it. I haven't fought in years, so let's see how much power the Bear Gang has behind them."
"So what do we do next?"
"wait!"
Shamilov did not have to wait long, not even a day, because someone came to his door in the evening.
Shamilov and Nisha now live in the sawmill he rented, and many of his brothers also live here.
Goods traded from China are also wholesaled here.
After just a few days of fermentation, almost the entire Bu City knew that there was a site here that wholesales Chinese products. The goods are of many styles, cheap, and in sufficient quantities.
Most of the commercial outlets and vendors in Bu City come here to wholesale the goods they need.
Therefore, the goods that Shamilov traded back from Wan Feng were usually sold out shortly after being unloaded from the truck.
Nisha has now become the boss lady, busy all day like a happy mole.
But there was no smile on Nisha's face today. Although the goods were wholesaled and she had made money, she couldn't be happy.
Of course she knew that her family was in trouble and someone was trying to snatch away the fruits of their victory.
As it was getting dark, a group of more than ten people walked into Shamilov's sawmill, and the person leading them was Andrei.
What is coming will come.
Shamilov took a deep breath and walked towards Andrei with a smile on his face.
"What do you guys need?"
"Are you Shamilov?" Andrei squinted his eyes and looked at Shamilov.
"I am, you are..."
"Comrade Zyugarov wants to do fertilizer business with the Chinese, so you must hand over your agency rights!" His tone was arrogant and disdainful, and he didn't even introduce his own name.
Zyuganov is the leader of the Bear Gang and has a high reputation in Bu City.
"I'm afraid that won't work. I opened this road. You can't just go there if you want, right?"
Doing business with the Chinese these days, Shamilov's personality has also changed a lot under Wan Feng's subtle influence.
In such a situation, he could still calmly talk nonsense with the other party, which was unimaginable in the past.
His words had already hinted to the other party that if the other party offered some conditions that satisfied him, it would be possible to negotiate.
"Why, what else do you want? Do you know who you are talking to?"
"Comrade, we are a socialist country, and everyone is equal before the law. I've worked so hard to open up a path, and you're not planning to take away my agency rights for nothing, are you?"
"I don't have the final say on this. This is what Zyuganov meant. I'll give you three days to think about it. After three days, we'll take over the fertilizer business."
Andrei finished speaking without any hesitation, glanced at the dozen or so people behind Shamilov who were looking at him coldly, and curled the corners of his mouth in contempt.
"You'd better recognize the current situation. If you lose the fertilizer agency, you can still find something else, but if you lose people, you lose everything. Don't even think about confronting our Bear Gang. You two..."
Andre shook his head, turned around and left without finishing his words.
They came and went quickly. In just over ten minutes, only Shamilov and his men were left in the sawmill, as if Andrei had never been there.
