Chapter 260: Crazy Smuggling
The smell of revolution had not yet spread in Baku, but officials in Baku had long been aware of the situation in St. Petersburg. However, this did not warn these officials, but made them even more crazy, everyone wanted to make an extra profit when the building was about to collapse and fly away.
So as a well-known smuggler, Bobokov is now very popular in Baku. Everyone in Baku knows that as long as you have supplies or money, you can do business with Pobonov.
So in the city of Baku, Poponov opened a special trading company, and the Tiger Trading Company was prepared by Poponov for the Caucasus. In this trading company, Neypoponov hired a few clerks to maintain the company, and then in the suburbs of the Dox district, he built a special treasury to bring in beautiful women from all over the world, and also prepared a lot of fine wine. So in the past two years, Bobokov has been known to everyone in Baku.
"Director Vilikov, I want your shipment, or at the previous price."
In a secret room in a private club, Bobov huddles a beautiful woman with a Middle Eastern flair. Speaking to the head of the Caucasian Internal Affairs Bureau, who was also holding a scantily clad blonde beauty next to him.
Director Vilikov, holding a wine glass in one hand and groping with the woman next to him in the other, spoke with half-squinted eyes. "The price is a little less, you must know that my people also have to eat."
Faced with the request of Director Velikov, Popov said with a smile. "It's because I'm not thinking about it, and I can't let the director's subordinates starve. In this way, I will add 15% of the price, which can be regarded as an explanation to His Excellency the Director. ”
Bobokov's words made Director Vilikov open his eyes and said with a smile. "I like your cheerfulness very much, and you deserve to be the most cheerful businessman in the Caucasus. Then do as you wish, and I'll let my men prepare the goods and wait." ”
Bobokov pushed the woman aside, sat down next to Director Vyrikov and raised his glass to speak to her. "May we have a happy cooperation."
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Popov continued to drink two glasses with Director Vilikov and then withdrew, as for what Director Vilikov was doing nonsense inside, he didn't care, it would be fine anyway.
Popov returned to his office and told his assistant Anatoly about Director Virikov. His assistant was also from Romania like him, and came here to relieve the pressure he was under alone, and whether there was any intention of monitoring or not, I believe Bobokov himself knew it. The amount of money he uses is too big, and it would be a miracle if no one supervised it.
The assistant with the connotation of supervision complained a little dissatisfied. "Damn, this Director Verikov sells something more than half a percent more expensive than the others every time. This time it's more expensive, does he want to cause dissatisfaction among all people? ”
Faced with the complaints of his assistants, Pobonov persuaded. "Well, Anatoly, as long as the Ministry of Internal Affairs can secure the lines on which we deliver goods, it's nothing. Just when we pay for the hard work of the Ministry of the Interior. ”
In Poponov's heart, pulling Director Vilikov into the water to protect the smuggling business can be regarded as the thing he is most proud of in the past two years. In the past, Director Vilikov had to trouble them from time to time, whether it was their gift-giving or using beauty tricks and other methods, all of which had no effect.
In the end, it was found out that Director Vilikov had a son with a congenital disease, and Pobonov specially invited a very famous doctor from England to treat him. At the same time, his son was sent to the United States in the name of recuperation, and his wife and relatives were sent with him, so that Director Vilikov finally joined them. The effort and expense involved was not small, but it was all worth it when Director Virikov agreed to join. In the month that Director Vilikov joined, the amount of oil transported by rail went from 30,000 tons to 60,000 tons.
However, after the lack of control from relatives, his greedy and lustful nature was also quickly exposed. As far as Pobonov knew, in just a year and a half after his family left, Director Vilikov had found two secret lovers, but one seemed to be the daughter of a condemned prisoner.
Moreover, Director Vilikov often sold to Poponov items seized by the Internal Affairs Bureau, including goods that had been intercepted by other Romanian smugglers. However, Director Vilikov's goods must be purchased at a high price, and the price is generally increased by 10-15%. And for the sake of various conveniences, Poponov also recognized his move, but this time the asking price reached 30%, which also made Poponov feel a little strange, although this price was set by Poponov himself.
While Poponov was thinking about why Director Vilikov would raise the price, his own secretary walked in.
As soon as he came in, he spoke to Poponov. "Sir, I heard news that St. Petersburg is sending someone to check on Baku."
Poponov was taken aback by the secretary's words, and he pulled the secretary over and asked. "Tell me more about what's going on."
As for Poponov's reaction, the secretary who knows a lot of people certainly understands why his boss has such a big reaction. "Boss, I heard that the provisional government specially appointed a commissioner."
Pobonov had already reacted and knew that he had lost his temper. So he let go of the secretary and asked to calm down. "Anything else?"
Knowing what his boss would ask again, the secretary replied respectfully. "That's all there is to it at the moment."
Poponov spoke to the secretary. "You go get the car ready first, I'll go out later."
After watching the secretary go out, Poponov spoke to his assistant. "Anatoly, you continue to deal with the matter at hand, and Middlek in Batumi also needs to ask for cooperation to help us."
Assistant Anatoly nodded and said, "No problem, I'll send a telegram to Middelk in a moment, and I'll take care of the matter quickly." ”
"Well, thank you, Anatoly."
"You're welcome."
Poponov was ready to go out after getting dressed for the trip, but stopped when he opened the door to go out, and he turned to Anatoly to speak. "This time, I'm going to find out the news, and if there's anything else, don't hesitate to let me know. This time, I always felt that St. Petersburg sent someone a little bit unkindly. ”
"Do you have any news?"
"No, it's just my gut feeling, maybe just my delusion."
After Poponov finished speaking, he strode out the door, and now he was going to the well-informed mayor Petronovich to inquire about the specifics of the news.
