Chapter 30 Please call me William
Seryosha and Yuri were sitting in a small park at the Gorky Automobile Factory with concern, smoking cigarettes. The two looked at the same direction at the same time, where a group of Yuri's subordinates were selling goods enthusiastically.
"You said we were about to buy our goods, right?" Yuri still refused to believe his ears. He never thought that such a prosperous business would be closed shortly after not long.
"Yes, we don't have new sources of goods, and our strength is still too small. The group of people in Dresden doesn't like us at all." Seryosha explained helplessly to Yuri.
"But our good days have just begun, can't you think of a solution?" Yuri still didn't give up. He felt that Seryosha would always find a solution.
"Sorry Yuri, I can't do anything I can until I find a new source of goods." Seryosha threw the unsmoked cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.
"Is there really no way? I have a big order on my hand, which is enough for us to spend for several years." Yuri said to Selyosha with a frown.
"What big orders are there, we still have some inventory. Why don't we discuss it with them? Even if we can't eat everything, it's good to eat the next part." Xie Liaosha was obviously a little moved.
"No, we all have high-end products. What people want is ordinary vodka, cigarettes, candy, beef, pork, chicken, and even flour." Yuri explained to Seryosha.
"These things are not profitable, these things are not expensive, and they are very difficult to transport. If they are seized, the losses will not be small. Who in our business will smuggle these things?" Seryosha thought that Yuri was cheated by someone. He added: "Who introduced this business?"
"It's a corpse in Gulag. He has just been released and is now doing some small business in Tyumin." Yuri explained, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket and handing it to Selyosha, and continued, "You see, he wants it as long as it is the things on it."
Selyosha took it and saw a list of various products, from daily necessities to tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, and all kinds of meat. The more she looked, the more she felt strange, and couldn't help asking, "What is that guy's origin? Why buy these things?"
"Who are you talking about, my inmate?" Yuri asked back.
"Yes! What's going on with that guy?" Xie Liaosha continued to ask.
"That guy was originally a high-ranking official, but he accidentally drove and killed someone, and then ran away. I saved his life inside." Yuri introduced it.
"Children of high-ranking officials? How tall are they? What level of family is they? What business are they in charge?" Xie Liaosha continued to ask.
"I don't know, I only know that I'm a cadre in the oil field. I heard that the power is quite good." Yuri tried his best to recall everything he knew.
"What did he buy these things?" Xie Liaosha still didn't understand what a high-ranking official's child would do for buying these things?
"He didn't say in detail, but said that the workers there were very good treatment and rich, but these things were very lacking, and they could not buy them even if they had money." Yuri's eyes changed when he saw Seryosha's eyes, and he was no longer so disappointed, but now he was full of spirit. He also began to feel that it was not very simple.
"Tell me there, take over this business and when I come back to talk to them, I will go find Mihail first." As soon as I finished speaking, Selyosha ran towards the car. After a while, the person disappeared, leaving Yuri alone in a daze.
Selyosha drove a car and found several places but couldn't find Mihail. Selyosha couldn't wait any longer. He found the nearest phone booth and entered a string of familiar numbers. A waiting sound came from the phone, five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds, twenty seconds... Until Selyosha felt that the other party would not answer his phone. A familiar voice came over: "Are you finally willing to talk about the durian candy business?"
Selyosha tried to control his excitement and suppressed his voice and said, "Sir, opposite, forget about durian candy, I want to talk to you about a new business! A business that is big enough to attract your interest." Selyosha tried hard to hold the other party's appetite.
"I have no interest in your so-called 'big business', I am only interested in durian candy. I feel that you have not got that batch of goods at all, you are just coaxing me to play." William Pique has completely lost his patience, and the other party has never said anything, obviously there is no batch of goods in his hand.
"Sir, I want to ask you if you are interested in the oil business?" Selyosha understood that if he held the other party's appetite, the other party would not pay attention to him anymore. Selyosha simply went straight in and went straight into the topic.
"Don't tell me that you snatched a tanker and couldn't find a buyer, haha!" William Pique was still laughing at Seryosha. He didn't believe in this kid's big business at all.
"No, sir across the street, I'm talking about crude oil from the Tyumen Oilfield, which is endless and as much as you need, I can even use a train to transport a whole train to Poland. Are you really not interested?" Although Seriosha's tone was relaxed, he was anxiously waiting for the other party's reply.
William Pique seriously considered the other party's suggestions in his heart. To be honest, William Pique did not really underestimate the other party. The longer he worked in this industry, the more cautious he would be. Therefore, William Pique gave the other party a chance, but the other party was obviously not of the same level. With William Pique's status today, he would not trade with people of this level again. After all, this industry is illegal and the stall is too large, so it is easy to be infiltrated by police people, bringing danger to himself and his business partners.
But the other party said firmly on the phone that the oil from Tyumen Oilfield could be transported to Poland continuously. If the other party really has this strength, William Pique must give the other party corresponding respect. If the other party is bragging, William Pique will not lose much. Of course, Seryosha will never have a chance to talk to William Pique again. Moreover, since the oil crisis in 1979, oil prices have continued to rise and set record highs. William Pique has recently been across the Berlin Wall, where the truck drivers there have already made several strikes. So after thinking for a while, William Pique decided to give the other party a chance and also a chance.
"If you can really send oil to Poland, I will give you a fair price." William Pique replied cautiously.
"How much is that?" Xie Liaosha asked.
"What do you think about six dollars per barrel?" William Pique offered a low price, which was the black market price two years ago.
"Fifteen US dollars!" Selyosha directly exposed the market price.
"This is impossible, how about seven dollars a barrel?" William Pique raised a dollar.
"Four US dollars!" Selyosha also lowered the money by one dollar.
"Eight dollars!"
"Thirteen dollars!"
"Nine dollars!"
"Twelve dollars!"
"Ten dollars, no more, otherwise the deal will be cancelled." William Pique was a little annoyed.
"Okay, it's only ten dollars. I agree with this price. But I have to pay once in a transaction, and I can't be owed to credit." Xie Lesha made some concessions and agreed to the other party.
"The transaction starts when your train enters Warsaw. Otherwise, if I have not said anything about today, I will not contact you again in the future." William Pique warned the other party again.
"Mr. opposite, how should I call you in the future?" asked Sergey Lesha.
"Please call me William, how do I call you, you mysterious guy?" William Pique reported to his own house.
"You can call me Sheryosha." Sheryosha replied.
"Okay, Seryosha, I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"
