Chapter 190: A Preliminary Study of the Mutual Aid Association Market

The Mutual Aid Market is not hard to find, just grab a Gorky and ask them and people will know. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info so everyone found this place very smoothly, and when they arrived, the parking lot was already full of cars, and they couldn't find a place at all.

"You go down and walk around, and we'll meet at the gate in an hour!" Said the colleague in charge of driving.

So everyone got out of the car and started walking towards the place where the crowd had gathered. At this time, it is the peak time to get off work, and it is also the time when the market has the most traffic. I heard the noise from a long distance, which was rare in such a lively place in the Soviet Union, and everyone felt very novel. So after some discussion, everyone decided to go their separate ways.

Anastasia, the female investigator, walked alone into the noisy market, crowded with people and dazzling goods. If it weren't for the task of investigating the case, this would be a shopping paradise, and Anastasia's eyes were too busy, even in the largest department store in Moscow, there was not as much variety of goods as here.

Anastasia walked along with the crowd, and he noticed that although there were many people here, it was orderly, and the crowd flowing in both directions was separated by ropes connected in between, and people consciously walked along the path separated by ropes. Anastasia alone is sure that the market did not come into being spontaneously, but that someone was maintaining order in the rules.

Anastasia walked to a perfume stall and involuntarily stopped. Women can't resist the allure of perfume, even those who work in the KGB. Anastasia couldn't help but reach out, picked up a small bottle of perfume, uncovered the cap, a delicate and timeless fragrance made Anastasia feel intoxicated, she couldn't help but ask: "Boss, how to sell this bottle of perfume." ”

"500 rubles! Want to give it a try? Beautiful lady! The stall owner greeted him and asked with a smile.

"It's expensive, boss! Can't it be cheaper? Anastasia asked, bargaining.

"The minimum is 480 rubles, and half a kopeck is not cheaper anymore. Girl, this is an authentic French product! The boss persuaded.

Anastasia had the bottle of perfume in her hand, and he really didn't want to give it up. But 480 rubles is almost enough to catch up with her monthly salary. But when I thought that this kind of perfume was only available abroad, Anastasia also wanted to open it, and it was good to have money and hard to buy. So Anastasia took out her purse, counted out 500 rubles and handed it to the stall owner.

The stall owner wrapped the perfume in delicate colored paper and handed Anastasia the change and perfume. The stall owner made a lot of money in this business, and he was naturally very happy, and he greeted Anastasia with great hospitality, expecting her to buy something more.

"Girl, is there anything else you like? I can give you a little cheaper! The stall owner said as he greeted Anastasia.

"Forget it, boss! This bottle of perfume cost me a month's salary, and I can't afford anything else! By the way, boss, your market is so big! Is it possible that anyone who wants to do business can come here? ”

Anastasia asked, pretending to be chattering, trying to get something out of the boss's mouth.

"How is it possible, do you know how much it costs to rent a stall here for a month? It's almost 4,000 rubles, and if I hadn't joined the mutual aid club earlier, I wouldn't have been able to rent a place for 4,000 rubles for a month! The boss complained a little ostentatiously.

"4000 rubles! One month! Boss, you're too rich! Anastasia said dumbfounded.

"There! Compared to those Gorky Brotherhood people, I'm not a business at all! The boss shook his head and sighed with envy.

"Gorky Brotherhood? What does that mean? Anastasia asked curiously.

"Hmm...... Girl, why are you asking this? I told you you you don't understand either! The boss seemed to realize something and quickly stopped the topic.

"Boss, don't think about it, in fact, I have a sister who also does this, but he can't compare with you! Now you can only collect a little smuggled goods from the dock seafarers and sell them to others to make a difference, but you can also guess that this kind of business is so easy to do that which seafarers also have relatives and friends. My sister often can't get the goods, and the business won't be able to do much......" Anastasia made up a reason to win the sympathy of the boss, and he even said that his sister was trying to treat her sick husband, which made the boss very unbearable. So the boss took off his guard and took the initiative to say:

"Girl, if your sister wants to do this, you can come to me, and I'll help her talk to the people of the Gorky Brotherhood. I got all my goods from them! ”

"Gorky Brotherhood? What the hell do they do? Anastasia then asked.

"My goods are from them, and so are most of the people in the market! Otherwise, next time I go to buy, I'll help you get a little bit by the way. But you can't sell it here, you can't sell it in Gorky, it's up to you anywhere else! The stall owner replied with a sigh.

……

Half an hour later, the members of the investigation team returned to the meeting place one after another. Everyone sat in the car, and the car quickly left the confines of the Gorky Automobile Factory, and everyone began to discuss what they had seen and heard in the market.

"Boss, I inquired that this market belongs to the Komsomol Mutual Aid Association of the Gorky Automobile Factory, but the people who manage the market are a group of people called the Gorky Brotherhood, and they basically monopolize the supply of goods in the market! Only some of the agricultural products were brought in and sold by farmers from the villages around the city of Gorky. I think this Gorky brother should be the focus of our next investigation! Anastasia reported to her colleagues in the group.

"I agree with Anastasia and I also noticed that a lot of the goods here come from Italy! Especially some food and textile things, these things sell a lot, the profit is thin, no more than the luxury goods such as perfumes, I think they must have some kind of channel to smuggle this kind of goods from Italy on a large scale! Since they can smuggle so many goods from abroad, and for such a long time, do you think they have the means to circulate a large amount of money to Italy! Another colleague added.

"What do you mean?" The team leader looked at it meaningfully.

"Boss, I think this Gorky Brotherhood must be able to easily transport funds abroad, otherwise how could they do such a large-scale smuggling business. And according to the available intelligence, such a large-scale, long-term financial operation, it seems that only Nikolai is capable of this! ”

Everyone in the car was overjoyed when they heard this, and it really didn't take much effort to get it.
