Red Supervisor: Are you threatening me?
Burger King: If that’s how you’re taking it, yes! Sir! I’m in control now! If your boss finds out you gamble and have racked up huge debts, what do you think he’ll do?
Red Supervisor: That damn Mediterranean will definitely fire me! And then I’m screwed! But I simply can’t accept a price of fifty thousand dollars!
Burger King: Seventy thousand dollars, take it or leave it. If that works for you, we’ll set a time and place, and I’ll bring people to pick up the goods.
Red Supervisor: At least one hundred thousand dollars.
Burger King: Sixty thousand dollars.
Red Supervisor: ? Didn’t you just say seventy?
Burger King: Fifty thousand dollars.
Red Supervisor, getting anxious: Ok! Ok! Seventy thousand dollars! It can’t be less! I won’t ask for more, and you can’t lower the price anymore! Otherwise, I’d rather be a homeless man than spend the rest of my life in jail, risking corruption and bribery charges just to end up owing money.
Burger King: Pleasure doing business, sir. When do you think we can go pick up the goods?
Red Supervisor: Are you in a hurry? This is raw material for making clay explosives, controlled by the Gunpowder Administration Bureau. What are you going to do with it?
Burger King: At least not blowing up the vault in a bank. Buddy, don’t worry, we are a legitimate professional outfit, we won’t implicate you, and you’d better not ask too much about our business.
Red Supervisor: And don’t talk about my business! It’s daytime now, it’s not convenient for you guys to go to the site and pick up the goods. I will find time to contact you after dark tonight. I want that seventy thousand in cash!
Allen Zhang exited the chat box, a satisfied smile on his face.
Not bad, got the goods for less than one hundred thousand dollars, later just repackage and mix them into convenient clay, then hand it off to Roginwei Military Base, that will get a direct trade profit of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
That’s a net profit of two hundred and eighty thousand dollars!
Of course, those military guys might also heartlessly list the purchase price of clay explosives at fifty thousand dollars per kilogram.
After all, a bag of screws costs tens of thousands of dollars!
Allen Zhang felt great, took his gear and car keys, and drove away.
Soon, he received an anonymous call. The familiar voice came through.
"Hello, Mr. Jin, how are you doing? Remember me?"
"Who are you?" Allen Zhang asked knowingly.
"I’m Shadi, the head of the Razer Biker Gang."
"You’ve got business with me?"
"Of course, I’ve got some goods I need you guys to escort. I’ve already placed an order online, and your staff has taken over," Shadi said. "In other words, I’m now your boss!"
"You can’t be our boss, at most it’s just a partnership, a one-off deal! And besides, I have no interest in escorting silicone dolls. I’m in the arms business."
Allen Zhang said, "The jobs my employees take on, they will be responsible for escorting those goods."
"Shit! You really had someone check me out! Did I leave that much of an impression on you yesterday? That’s why you had someone look into me?" Shadi laughed. "But I don’t mind if you dig a little deeper into me. I like the sounds of this ’one-time transaction’ you talk about."
"..." What nonsense are you talking about?
"Dear Juan Jin, isn’t sixty thousand dollars worth a trip for you? I can give you a Monica Belucci’s authentic mould as a gift, this adult toy is quite a hot seller!"
Allen Zhang was slightly surprised; he wasn’t interested in the mould of a female star. What’s so exciting about that? It doesn’t move.
He was not lacking women around him.
"Unless you add more money. Hiring the boss personally comes at an extra cost, you get the rules, right?" Allen Zhang feigned dissatisfaction.
"How about I add another twenty thousand, then?" Shadi said bluntly. "As a payment for hiring you, a total of eighty thousand dollars, okay?"
"...Hmm, that seems about right."
Allen Zhang agreed on the spot.
After hanging up the phone, he couldn’t help but whistle.
Mad, this rich lady is just too extravagant.
Please do keep bringing such business my way in the future, thanks.
Who would ever argue with money! I’m just squeezing you dry as a mark.
