Chapter 186: Master of the Stirling Family
"I saw him compete with others once, and I couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but I knew that he had won...... Is Senpai interested in martial arts? ”
"Not really, my friend likes to watch boxing matches, probably because he met your brother through the guò competition." Xiao Shuxia tried her best to divert the topic away from herself, talked patiently with Lu Lu, and judged from her response to understand Wang Bai's personality.
"Do you like football?" At the mention of this, Lu Lu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked full of interest.
"Hmm...... So-so. Xiao Shuxia smiled reluctantly, her spare time is basically spent in the real room, occasionally socializing with some sisters, except listening to songs, she has no other hobbies.
"You can look at the high school national tournament when you have time, my brother is a member of the championship team this summer, and he still has some ability to play." It is also a pleasure to share and recommend what you like to others, Lu Lu is still very keen on watching Wang Bai play, and hopes that others can also recognize Wang Bai's football skills like her.
"Really? Since you recommend it so much, I'll definitely take a look at it when I find time. Xiao Shuxia laughed gently, thinking to herself: Wang Bai's sister looks cold, but she is actually a simple girl with no scheming, on the surface she doesn't like her brother to interfere too much in her campus life, but in fact she admires her brother very much, it's really easy to understand.
As an elder brother, he can win the admiration and closeness of his sister, which at least shows that his care and love for his family is not fake, which shows that Wang Bai is a person who attaches great importance to family affection.
Xiao Shuxia's first temptation was so much, but for her, it was enough, Wang Bai was not an annoying guy.
The underworld landscape in London soon changed dramatically, with the Barnett family almost disappearing and the territory divided between the Stirlings and some rival families.
The Stirling family has also attracted a lot of attention because of this battle to become one of the top underworld families in London. Tommy the Redhead was the leader of the Stirling family's rise to prominence, and his territory expanded from Tottenham to Haringey and Enfield. Barry gave him two casinos, three bars and four strip halls.
Tommy used to earn a small amount of money to support himself and his brothers, but now he is making a lot of money. His status within the family has also changed from being penniless in the past to being in the ascendant now, and he has really become a family hero as someone predicted.
At the beginning of the war, it was Tommy who successfully killed Barnett Sr.'s two sons, which "boosted" morale, and everyone even suspected that Barnett Sr.'s mysterious death was related to Tommy, and no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
In Tommy's own opinion. This qiē is all thanks to a new friend he knew, a young man from the East: Mr. Miyamoto.
Tommy wants to have a good talk with "Miyamoto" and discuss the purchase of alcohol, he is a man who knows how to repay his kindness and will not be untrustworthy.
He is very grateful to Wang Bai for guiding him at a critical moment, otherwise he doesn't know where to hide now, and he can't live in fear, how can he have the opportunity to become a hot figure in the northern suburbs.
When the foreign wine business came to fruition, Wang Bai no longer used a pseudonym to fool Tommy. He told him his real name and admitted that he was from Haidong, China, and had come to London to seek a partner.
The task assigned by the organization is to establish a good relationship with the Stirling family, and it is not enough to be friends with the small leader of their family. Wang Bai must have to talk to Barry. Stirling contact.
With the power and prudence of the other party, he will definitely check his details, so it is foolish for him to continue to use a pseudonym.
Rather than arouse unnecessary suspicion, it is better to admit it first.
Tommy wasn't upset about that. He felt that it was a natural reaction to be cautious when going out, and since Wang Bai took the initiative to explain his actual origin, it showed that he sincerely wanted to cooperate.
Tommy could feel it. Wang Bai has an obvious underworld character temperament, and he is seeking cooperation with the Sterling family on behalf of his own forces, so that Tommy himself cannot be the master.
He decided to introduce Wang Bai to his uncle.
Before that, the two had negotiated the sale of the wine, and they agreed on a mutually acceptable price and agreed to deliver it at the dock in a week.
The first batch of wine Wang Bai ordered was about the size of two containers, and his ring was enough to hold it, and he could easily take this batch of wine out of London.
After returning to Haidong, he can store the goods in the zài transshipment warehouse, and then notify his subordinates to distribute them to buyers everywhere. After the fall of Ren Juming, the territory of Xiangyang District changed hands, and the supply of high-end foreign wine was cut off, and for a time Haidong's wine merchants could only go to other places to buy goods.
Among them, some of them came to contact Wang Bai, asking him if he could replace Ren Juming to find the source of goods, as long as the price is fair and the goods are authentic, they will buy wine from him in the future.
For this part of the people, Wang Bai will give priority to them, and the first batch of wine will be sold to them.
Red-haired Tommy tries to arrange for Wang Bai to meet his uncle, Barry. Sterling had already heard about this bold Oriental from his nephew, and he was very interested in Wang Bai, so he agreed to meet him that day.
The meeting took place in the Stirling family's lair, which was similar to the Barnett family's stronghold, but it was also heavily guarded and difficult for outsiders to enter.
Wang Bai went through a three-fold checkpoint search, including an electronic instrument scan, to confirm that he did not carry any murder weapon, before entering Barry's office.
In this era, even the underworld has begun to play with high technology.
"Mr. Sterling, I brought him, this is the friend I mentioned to you, his name is Berg, and he is from China."
Barry. Sterling's gaze stayed on Wang Bai's face for three seconds, his expression was very strict, and when Wang Bai smiled at him, he instantly showed a smile and said, "Welcome, welcome...... Hello Berg, I've heard Tommy talk about you a few times, you're a friend of our Stirling family, please take a seat. ”
"Hello, Mr. Stirling." Wang Bai smiled and nodded, sat down with Tommy, and said, "My purpose here is very simple, I hope to get your permission to cooperate with the Stirling family for a long time. ”
"That's fine," Barry shrugged, "Tommy has already told me, you want whiskey and brandy, and some others, it's not a problem, our family has an advantage in this area, you can get whatever you want, as long as the price is right, you know what I mean." ”
He laughed and added, "I've authorized Tommy to handle this matter, so don't worry about trading with him." ”
"That's good......" Wang Bai nodded, casually glancing at the black man standing behind Barry, who had been staring at him with vigilant eyes, perhaps because of his professional habits. But when I say collaboration, it's not just about this transaction......"
"What else do you have to say, come and listen." Barry's smile was full of kindness, even though his eyes weren't as soft as his smile. Wang Bai could see that this was a cunning fox who was good at acting on the spot. However, he didn't mind this, and his contact with the Stirling family was only superficial, as long as he could establish contact and cope with the tasks assigned by his superiors.
"I want to buy one of your casino......s here," Wang Bai noticed that Barry's smile froze for a moment, as if he was very afraid of outsiders interfering in their territory, and he continued, "Don't be nervous, listen to what I've to say." In terms of management, I will still leave it to your people, and I will not break the rules here. In terms of profits, I am willing to share, you can treat me as a partner, only involved in business. As for why you do this, you know, it's illegal to run a casino in our country......"
"Maybe you can go to Macau." Barry said with a smile, it seemed that he didn't want to accept this proposal, so he politely declined in this way.
There was no precedent for the Stirling family to allow foreigners to take a stake in their own business, and Barry didn't want to break the rule in his own hands.
Wang Bai shrugged his shoulders, he was mentally prepared for this reply, the Stirling family would not cooperate with him so easily, and the task assigned by his superiors would not be so simple to complete.
Things have to come step by step, and in any case, now that they have been connected, the neutral relations between the two sides can be determined, and the friendly relations are still to be managed. (To be continued......)
