Chapter 37: News
Chen Xiu also knew that these guys were unconvinced, they were only superficially surrendering to themselves, and they would definitely get rid of themselves as long as they had the slightest opportunity.
But he didn't care, he just wanted the gang to be of his own use right now.
As for the future, that's for later.
Since you want to be the boss of this gang of local snakes, then you can't just talk about it, let these guys shout the boss and it's over.
The most important thing is the word profit.
Chen Xiu interrogated through some tapping, and then looked at the account book that Bowie handed over with a bitter face, and soon grasped all the benefits of this repair shop, both openly and secretly.
The part of the income on the surface is not worth mentioning, and the main part is the income from secretly selling stolen cars.
Because Bowie has been in this business for seven or eight years, and has gradually accumulated word of mouth and fame, many car thieves like to send the stolen car to them to sell the stolen money after stealing the car.
There are even car thieves from the next state who come to them to help deal with the stolen car.
Bowie: They receive about 40 to 50 stolen cars a month, usually ordinary family cars, and the average value of these cars is basically around 7,000 to 8,000 dowlers.
Of course, they can't collect the car from the car thief at this price, but at 30% of this price, if it is an acquaintance, you can mention some, no more than 40%.
Then Bowie will disassemble and modify the stolen car, change it beyond recognition, and send it to the black car market after the change, basically a car can get 6,000 dollars.
The repair shop can make a profit of more than 300,000 dollars per month in this area, and sometimes the number of stolen cars received is a little higher, or the number of luxury cars received is higher.
For example, last month, in February, the repair shop received several luxury cars, and the profit in February reached 460,000 dollars.
Naturally, the bulk of all the proceeds went into the pockets of Bowie, the boss, and the rest of the leftovers were taken to the following men.
Most of his subordinates only receive a salary of $4,000 a month, which is certainly higher than the average level of many Ramo towns, so those subordinates are happy to accept this salary.
At a higher level are Bowie's most trusted henchmen, such as the strong gangster named J, who has a total of six henchmen, and these six people can get between 6,000 and 8,000 dollars per month.
The total expenses of these subordinates may seem like a lot, but in fact, the profits from the repair and recycling business of repairing and recycling used cars on the surface of the garage can more than offset this part of the expenditure.
So it is equivalent to Bowie alone eating all the proceeds of the stolen car sales.
Since Chen Xiu has become the new boss of these people, this unfair distribution method naturally needs to be reformed.
"In the future, I will take 20% of all the proceeds here." Chen Xiu sat lazily in his chair, the ledger spread out on his lap, and with his chin in one hand, he announced the first thing he would do after becoming the boss.
The reason why he didn't take more was that the gang had to have Bowie to function, and many car thieves only contacted Bowie, and even the downstream black car market was Bowie's doorway.
Without Bowie's boss, these people are just a bunch of useless ruffians.
Now, of course, the former boss.
So there's got to be enough leeway for these guys to be used for themselves.
No one has an opinion on Chen Xiu's decision, no matter how much of Chen Xiu's income is not their business, anyway, they get a dead salary.
The only one who has an opinion is Bowie, and Chen Xiu took all the money in his pocket.
It's just that at this moment, he has already been frightened by Chen Xiu, how dare he come out and say a word of nonsense.
Chen Xiu looked at everyone's reactions, nodded with satisfaction, and announced the second thing: "In addition, starting from next month, that is, April, all of your salaries will increase by 10%. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became in an uproar.
The thugs on the ground had different expressions, many of them showing anticipation and excitement, while others had expressions of doubt or surprise.
In short, the vast majority of them were very happy after hearing the news, and their attitude towards Chen Xiu also changed somewhat.
The benefits are moving.
This is exactly the result that Chen Xiu wants.
Chen Xiu didn't want some subordinates who only recognized themselves as bosses in name, surrendering themselves on the surface, but disobeying them behind their backs, and subduing such subordinates would not only not bring any help, but might also harm themselves.
He glanced at Bowie.
Bowie was so excited that his body was trembling, and he didn't dare to say a word.
Since he can become the boss of this gang, Bowie's brain is naturally not stupid, he knows that once he stands up against it now, it will not only offend Chen Xiu, but also his own subordinates.
Once he loses the approval of these men, he is really finished.
"If someone performs well enough to satisfy me, they can go up a little bit." Chen Xiu closed the account book on his lap and sat up straight, "Okay, that's all for now." ”
"Next is the business ......"
Chen Xiu explained two things to Bowie.
The first thing is to pay attention to those outsiders who appear in the town, and notify him once they find suspicious people, and the second thing is to inquire about those magical spirit mediums, which are usually very effective spirit mediums are transcendent.
After explaining these two things, Chen Xiu didn't stay here any longer and left the repair shop.
……
After subduing Bowie and his group, Chen Xiu did not continue to provoke the forces of Raton and Kerry.
The strength of the Ratton gang is strong and the profits are amazing, and it is not something that he can easily subdue now.
As for Carrey, it seems that he has an unclear relationship with some state legislators, and the water behind him is no shallower than Ratton, and it is not convenient to start for the time being.
In the following days, Chen Xiu spent every day accompanying his grandfather in addition to practicing.
In addition, he is often invited by the two sisters Afra to visit them, and the relationship has become more and more familiar.
After entering April, Chen Xiu had more time to practice, he hid from his grandfather and didn't go to school again, and every day when it was time to go to school, he went out to the repair shop.
He asked Bowie to clear an empty room behind the repair shop, and practiced in this spare room in the repair shop every day.
In this way, Chen Xiu can spare at least six hours a day for practice, and with a place to practice and plenty of time, his boxing skills are getting better and better day by day.
At the same time, as he got along day by day, his impression in the minds of Bowie and others became more and more unfathomable, and his authority became more and more important.
Behind the repair shop.
Chen Xiu was bare-chested, revealing a strong and strong muscle, standing on a high platform with sandbags.
This is a warm-up activity before the start of his daily practice, and he can quickly enter the warm-up state by hitting sandbags, and he can enter the state faster when he is practicing.
In addition, it can also have a workout effect, killing two birds with one stone.
Boom! Boom! Boom! ……
The sound of a loud blow resounded through the back of the workshop, and could be heard even on the road outside, and each time it sounded, it made Bowie's heart tremble as he walked this way.
Bowie soon arrived, and when he looked up, the terrifying figure with the 'sandbag' came into view.
Although it was not the first time he had seen this scene, every time he saw this scene, his eyelids still jumped.
Simply hitting a sandbag naturally won't make him react so much, the problem is that that person is not an ordinary sandbag.
It was a large cube box welded with steel plates, with a length, width and height of 1.8 meters, which was filled with iron sand, and the entire box was bound by a steel cable the thickness of an adult's arm, and hung on the main beam above the factory.
This large box, which weighs more than 40 tons, is the 'sandbag' that the man is making now!
And as the man threw punch after punch, the big box swung up and down......
Bao Yi didn't dare to disturb Chen Xiu's boxing, and waited below.
Chen Xiu had already noticed Bowie when he first arrived, but he didn't pay attention to it, and was looking at his data panel intently.
He used to open the data panel every day when he was punching sandbags to sort out his own situation.
On the data panel, his current data is displayed.
[Level: 5]
[Attributes: Strength 2.5 (+0.7), Physique 2.2 (+0.6)]
[Current Experience: 259/316]
[Available experience: 42]
[Whale Elephant Gong Level 1 (Beginner): 3/60. Passive: 3rd level of strength amplification, 3rd level of internal strength, 5th level of defense enhancement]
Twenty days have passed since the day the Whale Elephant Gong was improved, and in the past twenty days, Chen Xiu has successfully accumulated 42 points of usable experience.
The lion's quartz watch came from Simon, which directly provided him with more than 20 points of experience.
The Whale Elephant Gong has advanced three points of progress, and these three points of progress are all from Chen Xiu's penance, and they can advance a little progress almost every six days.
This may seem slow, but it's frighteningly fast.
If he wants to practice at this rate, he only needs a year to practice the whale elephant skill to the second level, and if Zhou Boxiong knows about it, he will definitely lose his big teeth.
There are only three layers of whale elephant gong in total, and the second layer is the realm of Xiaocheng, and ordinary people want to practice to the realm of Xiaocheng, it takes nearly ten years of hard work.
This is the inside of the door of the five-shaped fist gate.
In other words, Chen Xiu can pay for ten years of hard work for others in one year!
Of course, the reason why the gap is so big is not only because Chen Xiu is extremely talented, but also because of his own hard work.
It is impossible for ordinary people to spare so much time to practice boxing every day like him, taking Xu Hongyuan as an example, there are a lot of trivial things to deal with every day, and excluding the time for rest and entertainment, there are almost only three hours to practice boxing.
Most of the people who practice boxing are like Xu Hongyuan, after all, practicing boxing can't be eaten, making money and eating is the first priority.
Besides, they don't have such a strong physique as Chen Xiu, if they really want to practice for so long every day like Chen Xiu, they will only collapse their bodies, and they won't be able to practice martial arts at all.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Xiu closed the data panel and asked while punching a sandbag.
"It's the one you told us about." Bowie said below: "I just heard a rumor from a friend about a wizard who is said to be a real wizard with mana......"
"Huh?!"
Chen Xiu paused, his eyes turned, and fell on Bao Yi below: "Where is that wizard?" ”
At this moment, Bowie felt as if he was being targeted by some unknown beast, and he was inexplicably panicked.
He hurriedly said: "The indigenous tribe in the city of Fanyawu is the indigenous wizard of that tribe. ”
Chen Xiu punched out!
Boom!!
With a loud bang, a clear fist mark was printed on the outer steel plate of the large box.
After striking this punch, Chen Xiu stopped hitting the sandbags and jumped directly from a high platform more than five meters high, and easily landed on the ground below.
He picked up his shirt hanging on the side shelf, slung it over his shoulders and strode outside.
"To the city of Faniau."
……
……
The city of Fanyau is a small and medium-sized city with an Aboriginal Reserve, which is not highly developed and has a low presence due to the existence of the reserve.
It's not too far from the town of Ramo, but it's not close, it's almost a four-hour drive away.
After Chen Xiu got the news, he rushed to Faniawu City, and in addition to Bowie, he also brought J, Joe, and a young white man named Senior.
J is Bowie's best hitter, Joe is Bowie's most trusted confidant, and Seniore is Bowie's accountant and his own nephew.
These four people are the absolute core of the entire gang.
On the way to the city of Fanyaou, Chen Xiu learned more details from Bowie's mouth.
Bowie's friend was actually a car thief, who was chased by the police for stealing a car many years ago, and broke into an Aboriginal reserve in order to escape the pursuit.
In that Aboriginal preserve, he met the wizard.
The wizard was an indigenous wizard of the Aboriginal settlement, able to communicate with animals, and had performed this ability in public many times, and Bowie's friend had seen the wizard summon a dozen poisonous snakes to dance in front of everyone.
After Chen Xiu understood the identity of the other party, he knew that no matter what the outcome of this trip was, it was best to avoid head-on conflict as much as possible.
Indigenous shamans are very prestigious among the Aboriginal community, and in many Aboriginal territories, Aboriginal shamans speak more effectively than the chiefs.
Once a head-on conflict provokes the native shaman, the entire natives of the settlement will become his enemies.
After setting off at eight o'clock in the morning, and at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xiu arrived at the aboriginal reserve in Faniau City.
Indigenous reserves are generally extremely xenophobic and are not accessible to outsiders, but the city of Fanyau is a semi-open reserve.
This is because there is a casino business in this protected area, and the federal government has enacted corresponding regulations to take care of the indigenous people, and the indigenous people can legally open casinos in the territory, so the protected area is semi-open.
Despite this, Chen Xiu and the others were not able to enter directly when they first arrived here, and after Bowie reported the name of the car thief friend, it took a while for them to get permission to enter it.
