Chapter Sixty-Nine: Profiteers Are Difficult
Chapter 69 Profiteers are difficult
Seeing Mino's smile, the faint tension in Muhammad's heart was finally able to let go, and he grinned.
After all, although he said that it took a little effort to get this news, in the end it was just hearsay and unsafe news, and if Mino didn't admit it, he couldn't reason with it.
Now Mino's face is smiling, which means that he is still satisfied with this, although because the badge has not yet been obtained, it is unlikely that he will cash in the benefits promised before, but at least it is a manifestation that he may agree, and it is difficult for Muhammad to control himself from laughing at the thought that the high benefit will fall into his hands so easily.
But before the corners of his mouth were completely hooked, and the smile on his face was not fully revealed, Mino's next sentence turned into a bitter gourd face.
"Since you already have the news of the badge I'm looking for, Boss Mohammed, why don't you get it back with you?"
Mino's words hit him seven inches, but Muhammad could not help but answer, so he had to confess his guilt, and replied with a wry smile: "Little brother Mino, if I can, of course, I also hope to get the badge back and get the reward you promised." ”
"Is it because the holder of that badge is asking too much for the badge, and the benefits promised are not enough for the boss to get it back for me, or is it because of some other reason?
In the face of Mino's repeated questioning, Muhammad also knew that Mino had to inquire about it, otherwise he might not get any benefit, so he could only patiently explain to Mino:
"It's not that the asking price is too high, but the old guy Tamr himself is eccentric, when it comes to the things in his hands, it will take more or less months and a half to get them out, and now he just got the things in his hands, no matter how much money you go out, he won't admit that the things are in his hands. ”
Muhammad patiently explained, but as a result, Mino became more and more confused, and after much questioning, he finally understood the cause and effect.
It turned out that although the so-called Tamur in Xicheng District was also a pawn shop and jewelry store on the surface, it was secretly very different from other shopkeepers such as Muhammad.
Because although he buys jewelry, art, artifacts and other things to sell, he does not find a way to buy them from the place of origin or jewelry craftsmen, as Muhammad did, but directly buys the stolen goods from the hands of thieves.
The value of the things in the hands of the thieves has not diminished compared to the purchase from the place of origin or from the jewelers, but because they cannot afford to raise the high price because they have not been seen from the source, the profits of the things that Tamr takes from them and then resells them at the normal price are amazing.
And although this business is surprisingly profitable, it will cause other businesses and law enforcement agencies to suppress, if it weren't for Natam's amazing background, I am afraid it would have been suppressed and closed down and bankrupt.
However, although Tamur has a background, he doesn't dare to do this kind of obviously unsightly business directly, and he is even more afraid that a loser will come to the door to make trouble, so he has thought of a lot of ways to deal with it.
One of the most important points is the covert acquisition, although Tamur's work has been known to many people because of the leakage of the thieves, but after all, it is not proven, it is a kind of gossip that circulates in a limited way, because Muhammad's shops occasionally buy something that they know to be stolen because of their amazing profits, and naturally they have to cover up the news in this regard.
So it's as if Mino wouldn't have known that Tamur was doing such a thing if he hadn't been told by Muhammad, and since Tamur's shop is on the black market, he may not be able to find a target even if he searches the whole city.
Then I have to talk about Tamur's shrewdness and forbearance, he also depends on the object of his acquisition of stolen goods, like the kind of stolen goods that obviously have a family crest or obvious markings, but the value is not enough, he will not accept them at all, only those that seem to have no special marks or can be changed and demolished, will be bought back after the price is lowered.
Then he smothered the thing in his hand for several months, according to its value, during which time it was necessary to wait for the owner's search to pass, and second, to transform the stolen goods so that they would not be recognized by the owner if their value did not decrease as much as possible.
If it weren't for the fact that one of Muhammad's clerks happened to have a relationship with a clerk in Tamur's shop, and he happened to have a trick of words, he would not have gotten any news, and if Muhammad had taken the initiative to ask for it, there would have been absolutely no such answer, and with Tamr's deep background, Muhammad would not have wanted to offend the other party because of Mino's interests.
Therefore, although he coveted the benefits that Mino promised to give, he could only sell the news, and he was anxiously looking forward to Mino's ability to cash out part of it.
“............ So it's not that Muhammad doesn't want to, but I really can't help it. ”
After explaining the reason, Muhammad poured out bitterness and hoped that Mino would understand and pay part of the reward.
"Don't worry, Boss Mohammed, although you didn't help me get the badge back, after all, I found the news, and I will still give the reward that should be given. ”
Seeing Muhammad pretending to complain there, Mino also knew his thoughts, nothing more than that he felt that it was impossible for Mino to get things back from Tamur's hands, so he changed the topic here and asked Mino to cash in on the benefits in advance, lest in the end Mino would not give him benefits in a fit of anger after he found out that he could not do anything.
However, Mino knew that he was in charge, but he had no intention of breaking it, because he was not the kind of person who was short of money, and Muhammad, although he had bad intentions, was a great help after all, and there was no need to worry about the price of one or two gems.
And according to the news revealed by Muhammad, this matter is indeed not easy to handle, there is a shadow of the support of the city lord's mansion of Patneno City behind Natamur, if it is not handled well, Mino, who comes to the door with a rumor, may provoke the sixth-level powerhouse who sits in this city to make a move, then the matter will be completely big.
Maybe in the end, Mino, they will not only have to rely on the strength of the church to get out, but also fall back to a loss.
So in the face of such a difficult profiteer, Mino carefully thought about how to deal with the gems with Muhammad, but thus ignored the cunning in the eyes of Muhammad, who was trading.
