Chapter 38 Linkage
"I've heard about your past, and I'm sorry for what happened to you. Durin twitched a cigarette and threw it to Dover, who quickly caught it with both hands, and before he could light it, Durin took a bronze lighter out of his pocket. Lighters are also something that has only emerged in recent years, and they are expensive, but of course they are also very beautiful. Many people are very interested in this kind of small things that are delicate and can show their status, so the sales of lighters are rising, and as long as they have a little money, they will buy one and put it in their pockets.
Of course, the increase in the market means that there will be more hot money into the industry, and various cheap brands of uneven quality flood the entire lighter industry. So far, there have been more than a dozen cases of burns caused by kerosene leaks. People's requirements for the brand and quality of lighters are also getting higher and higher. The business of enterprises with a good reputation is getting better and better, and the price of goods is getting higher and higher. Enterprises that do not establish a brand effect will be miserable and face the risk of bankruptcy.
The lighter in Dulin's hand was a product of the empire's largest lighter production company, "Bondi" Industries, and the price was as high as 38 yuan.
Dufo looked at the flames and almost forgot that he should have leaned in at this time, and lit the cigarette in his mouth. He knew the lighter, but he was in a daze not because of the price of the lighter, but because of Durin's action.
In gangs, class and hierarchy are very strict, and the more powerful the gang, the more pronounced this boundary becomes. There has never been a practice in gangs for superiors to light cigarettes for subordinates, except in one particular case.
Durin wants to praise him and get him promoted.
Dover stepped forward excitedly, stretched out his hands to cover the flames, pointed the cigarette butt at the flames, took a breath, and immediately retreated. The muscles in his face were shaking and changing, and he didn't know what kind of state he was supposed to be.
It was too sudden, especially after just knowing how much money Dulin was making, and he was likely to be promoted, it was really too sudden.
Durin took back the lighter and put it back in his pocket, looking at Du Fo who forced himself to calm down but failed, he smiled, "We are a collective, we are brothers, we are now, and we will be in the future." I don't think that building classes is a better way to govern, but until there is a new and better way of governing, we can only do it, even if it is not my intention. โ
"From today onwards, you will be the team leader!"
"Every month from now on, you will have 0.2 percent of the income from the bootlegging sale, and the rest of your siblings will share 1 percent of the right to dividends. Your job is to monitor the quality of our wines and avoid mistakes as much as possible. Durin looked down and smiled, and when he looked up again, the smile on his face was as warm as the sun, "Of course, if anyone wants to stop us from gaining a foothold in this troubled world, you are also obliged to deal with them. โ
"Alright, let's go tell everyone the good news!"
With a wave of his hand, Duffin took a few steps back excitedly and respectfully, turned around and closed the door. The moment he closed the door, he saw Dรผhrin standing on the windowsill looking out of the window, the sun shining through the window, and his whole being was bathed in sunlight, like a revelation from the Book of God, full of holiness.
The door closed tightly at the end, and the excitement in his heart inexplicably dissipated in the last second or two, replaced by a calm, a kind of piety. He turned slowly, with a gentle smile on his face, and walked into another large room. There were a small number of members gathered inside, and Du Buddha was very majestic, and the air in the room was suffocating when he walked in.
His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and Du Buddha smiled and said, "I want to announce two things. โ
"First, I'm the team leader now. โ
Many young people whistled and applauded. Dulfo was still very prestigious among these young people. First, he is old enough, not only has he been out for several years, but he has also been in prison, and he has a certain understanding of some gangs in the whole of Turnaire City, and he also knows a lot of gang people. In the minds of young people, whether a person is worthy of respect or not is based on two points.
He's good at fighting, or he's rich.
Hearing that Dufo had been promoted to team leader was no less than an encouragement to this group of young people. In a gang, the team leader, or captain, is not literal, it does not mean how many people must be managed in this position, and specific things are responsible. This kind of title is more like something that comes to mind when a group of uneducated guys can't find the right word and need a title. The team leader or team leader can be seen as the person responsible for "something", for example, if Durin needs someone to do something for him, then he will name a team leader, and the team leader will arrange his own members according to the content of the matter.
If you succeed, there will naturally be a reward, and if you fail, the responsibility falls on the team leader. Of course, the team leader is indeed different from ordinary members, with a higher rank and higher income, but the same responsibilities are also heavier.
Dufo became the leader of the group, which means that the hometown association is not a simple hometown association, which is exactly what the fifteen, sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers want. As long as they work hard to contribute to the association, they will surely become the leader of the group in the future.
Du Buddha raised his hand and smiled at everyone's encouragement, "There is a second thing, from today onwards, one percent of the income from the farm will be distributed to all of you every month!"
If Dufo's promotion means that they will usher in a new life, then the matter of dividends is related to the vital interests of each of them. Especially when the girls just said how they felt when they counted the money, these teenagers were more or less jealous. Just such a simple thing can actually bring tens of thousands of yuan in returns, which is an astronomical amount!
Some people even wonder if they could get a share.
This thought was still echoing in his mind, and Du Buddha brought the good news, and everyone's eyes were full of enthusiasm to look at Du Fo, and they couldn't help but roar loudly.
Yes, it's only one percent, and it looks like it's 99 percent not theirs. But everyone knows that even one percent of the dividend right represents hundreds of dollars. The entire hometown association adds up to twenty-nine people, and each person can get at least ten yuan.
And that's just one area of Turnier, and what if moonshine were to be sold throughout the state, or even the whole country, in the future? One percent a month would be tens of thousands, or even more!
After becoming a member of the association, there will be a settling-in allowance every month, of course, it can also be understood as a salary, and now it is more than ten yuan. The huge income will bring change to every family, and this is exactly what they want, through their own hands and efforts, to change the difficult situation faced by the family.
Durin smiled and listened to the cheers of "Long live the Townsfolk Association" and "Long live Durin" coming from next door, and he laughed not so much at the fact that these people could support him so much, but at the influence of money on humanity.
If you have money, you can do whatever you want, and this is the benchmark that works in any world.
From the emperor to the common people, they can't escape the clutches of money. Money may manifest itself in other forms at a higher level, but it has not changed at all.
While the young people of the Townsfolk Association were cheering for Durin, on another street in the city, three grim-faced fellows sat together.
They are part of the city's mid-to-high-end moonshine suppliers and occupy the high-to-mid moonshine market in Turnaire. In fact, the listing of First Love and Snow Elf did not have any impact on ordinary fruit wine, because a glass of five- or six-yuan wine is not something that low-end consumers can consume. Therefore, no matter what changes have been made in the mid-to-high-end market, there is no connection with the low-end market.
But the business of these three people has dealt a very heavy blow.
Turnier City is so small, and the three of them have already made each other dissatisfied with the division of the mid-to-high-end high-end moonshine market, and if it weren't for the fact that the benefits of waging a gang war may not be higher than the pay, they would have torn their faces a long time ago. It's no secret that they don't agree with each other, but that doesn't mean they'll allow the Quartet to enter the market.
Just last night, their income plummeted, and both young and middle-aged people were snatched away by their first love and snow elves, maybe to try it, or they really liked it, and the sales on the first day were very good. Perhaps this is just the initial performance, and after a period of time, the popularity will fade and sales will decline. But no matter how the popularity drops, there will inevitably be some people who choose these two wines, thus occupying a certain sales market.
Money is really omnipotent, enough to want to kill each other's three hostile people at once, and sit together.
