Chapter 25 Buyers
In Dresden, GDR, opposite the Cathedral of Our Lady, in a pharmacy chain called Saxon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoA truck delivering goods slowly stopped in front of the warehouse behind the pharmacy. William Peake, the owner of the pharmacy, directed the hatches of the workers' wagons and began to move the goods. Although the GDR was in the socialist camp, it allowed the presence of private industry and commerce, so the GDP per capita reached $6,000, the highest of any socialist camp. As a result, the owner of the pharmacy, Wilhelm Pique, can own the largest chain of pharmacies in Saxony. Just as William Peake was busy with the storage of medicines, Hans Honecker hurriedly ran from the store and whispered a few words in William Peake's ear. William Peake explained a few words to the workers and then turned away with Hans Honecker.
William Peake and Hans Honecker quickly arrived in William Peake's office, Hans Picke consciously waited at the door, and William Peake walked into the office alone. I picked up the receiver of the phone, walked to the window of the office, and closed the blinds. I only observed the situation outside the window through the gap inspection.
"Saxon drugstore, who are you?" William Peake was wary of the other side.
The other side of the earpiece was silent for a moment, and said, "You don't need to know who I am, I just want to make a deal with you." A deal like the one Mr. Popov made with you. ā
Hearing Popov's name, William Peake hung up alertly. Popov has not been heard from since last week, and the hidden trade route has been disrupted ever since. William Peake thought it was a call from Popov, who had been missing for a long time. But the voice on the other end of the phone was a stranger. When things go wrong, there must be a demon, and William Peake chose to hang up the other party's phone.
On the other side of the receiver, Seryosha was about to bargain with the other party, but was hung up on the phone, feeling very regretful in his heart. The other party was still too careful and didn't give strangers a chance at all, but Seryosha could only find this one buyer, and rejected him in less than three sentences. Seryosha gloomily walked out of the phone booth, sat down in a chair next to him, took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and took a deep breath.
The contact information of the other party was obtained by Seryosha from Popov's address book. There is only one phone number and two pieces of information on it, "buyer". Seryosha didn't know what to call each other at all. Not to mention how to gain the trust of the other party, a cigarette is quickly smoked. Seryosha extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it in the trash. He suddenly remembered something, turned around and went back to the phone booth. Picked up the receiver and called the other party again.
This time, William Peake was there for the phone, but he didn't pick up the receiver until the phone rang a lot.
"I have a few boxes of durian candy in my hand, I don't know if you are interested?" Seryosha blew up the cowhide over the phone, and the batch of goods had already been blown up by him.
Hearing the durian candy, William Peake paused for a moment, no longer ready to hang up, he softened his tone and said, "Don't talk nonsense, where is that old Jewish man?" I only talk to him about business? I'm not interested in people I don't know. ā
Although the other party said so, Seryosha heard the other party's thoughts, and the hailuoyin in the batch of warehouses was the reason for the other party to talk patiently.
"I don't want to mention the durian candy thing for the time being, that old Jewish man has probably gone to pay homage to Comrade Lenin now, so if you still want to deal with the Soviets, I am the only one left." Seryosha was afraid that the phone would be monitored, so he said as vaguely as possible.
"What do you want to sell?" William Pique decided to give the other side a chance because Popov did have a problem there. Business has to continue, especially the hailuoyin, those Italians have been urging for a long time. Even if the other party is a police officer or a KGB, as long as he does not show up during the transaction, he will only be caught as a substitute for the dead, and William Peake will be like a substitute for the dead in his hand, and he will throw it away when he runs out, as many as he wants.
"It's just some Soviet specialty, caviar or something." The first trade can give you a discounted price.
Upon hearing that it was just these things, William Peake was both relieved and a little disappointed. The rest assured thing is that the smuggling of these things should not be under the hands of the police or the KGB, because the crime is too light, and neither the police nor the KGB can take it seriously, even in the Soviet Union, let alone pursue it overseas. However, the other party can have a channel to get things over, and it seems that he also has the ability. Disappointingly, Hailuoyi, who is most interested in him, has not yet been found.
"Okay boy, I'll give you a chance, but you have to follow the rules, otherwise there will be no next time." William Peake warns the other side.
"Don't worry, we'll be good partners. We are working together for the first time, how did you solve the problem of repayment? Seryosha said to the other party.
"Give me an account in Switzerland or Luxembourg and the money will be converted into dollars and deposited. Or find a reliable underground bank, you are free. Don't worry, I'm still reputable. But I can't tell. William Peake warned.
"Okay, so be it, I wish us a happy cooperation." Seryosha said.
"It's a pleasure to work with." The other party said coldly. Hung up.
Hearing the busy sound coming from the receiver, Seryosha paused slightly, slowly hung up the phone, left the phone booth, and turned around. Everything that can be done has been done, and success or failure depends on luck.
William Peake hung up the phone and pulled out a satellite phone from a drawer. The biggest advantage of this kind of phone is that it is safe and not afraid of being spied on, which William Peake uses exclusively for high-end customers. Seryosha's petty business doesn't need this kind of stuff at all.
After waiting for a while, the other party's phone call went through. William Peake lowered his voice and whispered: "Boss, something happened to Popov, it is estimated that someone has killed him, and the durian candy is now in the hands of a young man." I'm afraid things are getting a little troublesome. ā
The other party was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something? William Peake waited anxiously, something went wrong with the customer, William Peake felt very ashamed, although the other party was the Italian mafia, but William Peake was not easy to mess with, William Peake just didn't want to turn his face with the customer, any conflict was unnecessary, and making money was the first thing.
"I'll take care of this matter first. I'll find a solution, my friend! The other party replied.
Hearing what the other party said, William Peake was relieved, the reason why William Peake has been able to operate in this industry for many years and stand tall. It depends on credibility, and William Peake values credibility even more than those regular businessmen.
"May I ask, how are you going to solve it?" William Peake regretted it after saying that, he shouldn't have asked about this.
"I'll send my men over to meet him." The voice of the other party came from the earpiece.
