Chapter 61: The adidas Gang

The business of luxury shopping malls ushered in a big explosion two days ago, and gradually stabilized after a few days, and Jia Lei's shopping mall, which specializes in selling luxury goods, has a daily turnover of about one million US dollars.

Jia Lei waited until his brand-name shopping mall was on the track before he had time to visit Hong Chen and them, he took Boer and others to an ant market, and soon found Hong Chen in the stall area where a group of Chinese people gathered.

"Hong Chen, how is your business lately?" Jia Lei asked.

"Our business is very good, half of the clothes we brought from China have been sold, and we have earned more than $20,000 in just a few days. Hong Chen said happily.

"That's good, how about you help me sell my goods?" Jia Lei asked again.

"Your goods are selling better than ours, and you've sold for $50,000 in just a few days. The goods you buy are the most popular in Russia, especially the adidas sportswear you bought is selling very fast! This time, thanks to your willingness to let me sell clothes at your stall, otherwise we would have nowhere to do business in Moscow. Hong Chen said happily.

This batch of adidas sportswear produced in the south sells better than the leather jackets they entered!

Why can't the genuine adidas in my store be sold, but the fakes in the wholesale market are selling so quickly?" Jia Lei asked with a frown.

Because there are only a limited number of people who can buy genuine goods, Jia Lei brought a bunch of copycat brands to the wholesale market to sell at the same time, anyway, those who came to the wholesale market to buy clothes also knew that what he bought for such a small amount of money must be fakes, Jia Lei did not deceive anyone.

"How can adidas sportswear not be sold, nine out of ten Moscow men who come to the wholesale market want to buy adidas sportswear?

"I also want to know, why don't we find a local who comes to buy clothes later?" Jia Lei thought for a while and said.

Because all kinds of brand-name goods are sold in specialty stores or have agents, it is impossible for Jia Lei to sign so many brand agency contracts at once, so Jia Lei takes the goods in the name of department stores in major brands.

Because the agent signed the exclusive agency contract, and the seller can sell all the brands! These days, Jia Leijin's clothes of other brands are selling very quickly, and only the authentic adidas products, which are the most popular among the legendary Eross, are not selling well.

adidas is indeed the most popular brand among Muscovites, Jia Lei was only at the door of the booth for more than ten minutes, and saw someone coming to buy counterfeit adidas sportswear.

There are people of all ages who come to buy adidas clothes, but the most of them are young people in their twenties and thirties, and Jia Lei finally picked a young man who looked very clean and poor.

"I see you've been looking at this adidas tracksuit at our stall for a long time, do you want to buy one?"

"Of course I wanted to buy one, but I didn't have enough money in my pocket, and I had only five thousand roubles. But the wholesale price of an adidas tracksuit here is $25, but the retail price is $30. My five thousand rubles can only be exchanged for 25 dollars...... "Heysil replied.

"If you're willing to do me a favor, I'll give you an adidas tracksuit for nothing, not even $25! You can save the five thousand roubles." Jia Lei said.

"Really? That's great! What do you want me to help me with?" asked Hysir happily.

"As you can see, I'm a businessman, a businessman who sells adidas clothes. In fact, I still have a batch of authentic adidas sportswear, but I don't know why these counterfeit clothes can be sold, but few people buy the authentic ones?

"Oh my God, do you have a genuine adidas tracksuit?" can you show me?" asked Hecyr excitedly.

"Yes, you can come with me!" Jia Lei nodded and said.

Jia Lei took Haixier to his own brand department store, and as soon as Haixier entered the door, he was stunned by the magnificent decoration and a room full of famous brands, but when he came back to his senses, the first thing he pounced on was still the counter selling adidas sportswear.

"This is an Adidas tracksuit! a real Adidas tracksuit!" said Hecyil, touching an adidas tracksuit as if on a pilgrimage.

"It's just an ordinary piece of clothing, how do I think you look at it like you're looking at a lifelong dream? It's just a piece of clothing and it's not God, it can't help you realize your dreams!" Jia Lei asked puzzled.

"adidas is really God for us ordinary people, and it has a special meaning for us. My dream is to one day wear a real Adidas sportswear and walk in the community openly. Haysil said.

"It's just a piece of clothing, and you can make it a dream? It's weird! If you can give me a satisfactory answer today, I can send you a real Adidas tracksuit to make your dream come true." Jia Lei said indifferently.

"You don't understand, even if you give me a real Adidas, I don't dare to wear it in the neighborhood, I only dare to wear it sneakily at home or wear it in the neighborhood outside. The current Moscow adidas tracksuit is not something that anyone can wear!" Haysil said, shaking his head.

Then he glanced at the genuine adidas tracksuit with nostalgia, and still chose to pick up the fake adidas tracksuit and hold it in his arms.

"Why do you say that the genuine Adidas is not something that anyone can wear?

"Yes, the genuine Adidas tracksuit is now the symbol of a gang in the city, and if we low-level civilians wear a genuine Adidas tracksuit to go out, we will be considered to be impersonating gang members. If you get caught by the gangsters, you're going to get into trouble!" said Heysir.

"It's just a sportswear, I don't believe it can really represent identity?" Jia Lei shook his head and said.

"If you don't believe me, you can let the bodyguard behind you wear a genuine adidas tracksuit and go out with me for a walk, and then you will know what the genuine adidas tracksuit means to us." Hesir pointed to Kerr.

"Why did you choose me?" asked Kerr, puzzled.

"You've got a scar on your face, and you're very strong, and you look like the gangsters! Haier said.

"But I've always been a good man, I used to be a soldier! This scar was the one I was injured last year when I was protecting my boss in Yekatyburg, not the one I got when I went out to fight the gangs!" said Kerr angrily, gritting his teeth.

He has always regarded this scar as his military medal, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood this time.

"Hahaha, the boss gave you enough medical expenses to go for a scar removal operation, but you have to leave this scar to remind the boss of your previous injuries and achievements. It's okay this time, it's considered an underworld, right?hahaha......" Bol couldn't help but hold his stomach and laugh when he heard this.

The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard Boer say this, Kerr didn't have any bad intentions in doing this, at most he just wanted Jia Lei to remember his credit, and it would be better if he could get a little more bonus by the way.

"Hahaha, hey, I'm laughing to death! Let's stop laughing, it's important to get down to business......! Haha, Kerr, you hurry up and get a set of Adidas tracksuits to change into, let's go out for a spin. I want to see if this dress is really that godly!" Jia Lei said while laughing and holding his stomach.

"Boss, there are four of us in total, and I am the only one in a tracksuit that doesn't seem to be a good match, so why don't you let Kerr change into a set of adidas tracksuits and go quickly! Kerr said, rolling his eyes.

In any case, such a humiliating thing must not be left alone, he must at least pull Bol as a backstop.

"No, I don't want to wear this, I'm still more handsome in a suit. Bol immediately refused.

"I think this is a good proposal, otherwise when you stand behind me, the three of them will look awkward in suits and you yourself in sportswear!"

In this way, under Jia Lei's strong request, Boer could only go inside with Kerr to change into a set of adidas sportswear, and Jia Lei took the bodyguard to a restaurant near their community under the guidance of Haisier.

****

"Welcome, what do you want to order?" asked the waiter.

Jia Lei took a look at the environment of the restaurant and was very satisfied, the atmosphere of this restaurant is very good, there are many diners, only a few seats in this restaurant are empty during lunchtime, and the others are full, which means that the food in this restaurant tastes good.

"You take us to find a spot and hand us the menu, my friends are here for the first time and they are not very familiar with the food. Hesil said with a smile.

"Okay, please come with me. The waiter glanced at a few people, then led them to their seats by the window.

"The location is one of the best views of the restaurant, with both the view and the junction and it is cool in the summer. We would normally pay 100 roubles more for this seat!" explained Heysil.

You should know that now the salary of a university professor is only 5,000 rubles per month, the salary of a graduate student is even only 1,000 rubles, and the local retirement salary is also a thousand rubles.

And a thousand rubles is now equivalent to only five dollars!

"But they didn't care that we wanted this money?" Jia Lei asked with a frown.

"Yes! Good seats in all the restaurants in the city now cost extra rubles, and only those wearing genuine adidas are exempt. Hesil said nervously.

"Why is that? Is there anything special about people wearing genuine adidas?" asked Jia Lei, puzzled.

"Of course, the city was in chaos just after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when many retired athletes joined a gang and quickly took over the security of the neighborhoods. The adidas tracksuits that used to be given to them by the team became the uniforms of that gang, and now the authentic adidas have become a symbol of violence and power in Moscow. Ordinary people like us wouldn't dare wear it!" said Heysir.

"I see, it seems that now that E-Ross is so chaotic that even the athletes have been affected, I am afraid that your life will be even more difficult in the future. Jia Lei said.

While they were talking, Jia Lei really saw that the new guests had avoided the best seats in the window and went to the empty table on the side to do it, and a rich couple spent a dollar to sit on the table next to them.

Jia Lei found that the people in the restaurant were cautiously avoiding their table, and as long as Kerr's eyes looked at any table, the other party even talked much quieter.

"Kerr, I know you're angry, but don't scare ordinary people, okay? Jia Lei whispered.

"I really didn't mean to, I didn't have anyone to be so afraid of me when I went out before, it seems that there is something wrong with this dress. You know, when I wore a suit and a straight face, I looked more fierce than I am now, but there weren't so many people avoiding me. Kerr said.

"So this dress really can't be worn casually, we ordinary people only dare to wear counterfeit goods, and now the counterfeit adidas in China is very popular. It's too real that we don't dare to wear it, and sometimes we have to deliberately pick some misprinted abibas and abidas to wear, so as to avoid causing trouble. Haysil said.

"It seems that when I go back, I will have to ask the factory in the south to revise it for me, and Adidas will not be able to print it! Jia Lei said speechlessly.

The others didn't know what to say at this time, so everyone had to eat silently, and Jia Lei ordered a potato salad, a cabbage, fried cake with meat and cheese pie, and a soup for only two hundred rubles.

In this way, it seems that the deterrent effect of authentic Adidas clothes that can directly save a hundred rubles is indeed not small, and it also shows the rampant power of the gangsters in Moscow now.

Jia Lei originally wanted to go back after eating this meal, but unfortunately the sky did not follow people's wishes, and the genuine adidas still caused Jia Lei trouble.

"Whose subordinates are you, and how did you come to our territory?" Jia Lei was eating the last dessert in the restaurant when five men in Adidas tracksuits came in and surrounded them.

"It's over! We've been discovered by Dada's boss, and we're going to be beaten up now. Hesil said in fear.

"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let you get beaten. Jia Lei was still sitting there concentrating on eating the cheese in front of him, and Hao said worriedly.

At this time, the four of them had already stood up, took out their guns and blocked in front of Jia Lei.

"Who the hell are you, don't you look like you're from our adidas gang?" asked Dada, squinting at Kerr.

Most of the people in their gang were athletes who had seen each other on the training ground, so they were suspicious of Kerr's unfamiliar face.

"It's true that we're not from your gang, we're just here for a meal. Why did you come to us?" asked Bore, knowingly.

"I've been told that someone is wearing Adidas and sitting in the seat I often hang out in, and I thought it was someone from the next block who was provoking you! Dada said, glancing at Bour's clothes.

Jia Lei looked back curiously when he heard this, and he found that although this group of gangsters were wearing genuine adidas, their clothes were already slightly yellow, and it was obvious that they were not the new models of the year!

"It seems that Adidas doesn't have a store in Moscow, and you gangsters don't look like they have the ability to go abroad to shop. So you can only wear old models?" asked Jia Lei.

"Who are you?" Dada asked.

"I'm just a clothes seller! I have a batch of new genuine Adidas this year, are you interested?" Jia Lei wiped his mouth and asked, and they immediately turned sideways and showed Jia Lei with eyes.

"Did you say you have a new genuine Adidas this year? Then I'm really interested!" Dada immediately said with a smile, after all, no one likes to wear old clothes.

"I'll just say, the locals wouldn't be so ignorant and dare to wear Adidas without our permission. Now in Moscow, only those powerful and foreigners who are officials dare to wear Adidas, and ordinary people dare not wear it even if they can afford it. Dada looked at Jia Lei's obvious Chinese appearance and said.

"But the boss Huaxia often sells inferior products, what if the Adidas he sells is also fake? I don't want to wear clothes that fade together. A gangster asked.

"Hmm......" Jia Lei was immediately speechless, he didn't expect that Muscovites already hated Huaxia goods so much.

"I don't believe it, after so many years of being athletes, you can't tell the difference between real and fake adidas sportswear? Besides, I don't need to offend your gang for this little money, right?" Jia Lei asked calmly.

"You're right, I agree with you, if you have a genuine Adidas, can you bring me three hundred sets?" Dada said immediately.

"I only have a hundred sets of goods in my hand for the time being, can you wait two more days? I can send someone to England to fly a batch of Adidas back, but you have to pay a suitable price to buy it." Jia Lei thought about it and said.

"Okay, now that the market price of genuine adidas in the market is about three or four times that of foreign countries, can we buy it at three times the price of foreign countries?" Dada asked.

"Aren't you afraid of losing money when you make so much money?" asked Jia Lei in surprise.

"Of course I'm not afraid, the gang will help me reimburse this money. If your clothes are good, we can work together for a long time in the future!" Dada couldn't help but rub his fingers as he said this.

"I also think we will cooperate for a long time in the future!" Jia Lei said and took out a cash check for $1,000 from his wallet and put it on the table, and then left with Bol.

"This Chinese man is good, I like it. Dada whistled and picked up the check and said happily, and then he took the man away.

"Boss, the foreigners at the table just now haven't paid yet, how did the gang take away the checks they used to pay?" the waiter said angrily as he looked at the empty table.

"Pete, don't you understand? That check was originally left by someone to Dada's boss, have you ever seen anyone who has to write a check when they go to a restaurant for dinner?" said the boss helplessly.

"You're right, that check seems like a lot of money, let's see if it can buy our entire restaurant." I'd better clean up the table!" Pete said and walked over to clean up the table.

"Oh my God, what is this?" Pete cried out in surprise as he removed Jia Lei's last dessert plate, and the boss hurriedly walked over when he heard it.

"They actually left us a hundred dollars! This Chinese man is simply too generous, this is half a month's income of our restaurant!" said the owner excitedly.

"Jia Lei, the money you gave for the meal just now is too much, and we people only spent less than five dollars in total. Kerr reminded Jia Lei.

"Let's just tip the rest! After all, we almost got into a fight in the restaurant, and the boss was frightened. Jia Lei said. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
