Chapter 102: The Humiliated Kuban

Cuban and Riley didn't get along for long, just a few days. But the story of these two people in a few days and the bits and pieces of life have given Simmons and Maddie a lot of conversation points, and Simmons even has the urge to write a book to record these two strange and wonderful stories.

That day, Kuban wandered around with nothing to do, looking for business opportunities in the mud snail secluded land. In addition to the shady cooperation in the sale of stolen goods, after Kuban met with the tobacco and alcohol industry under the head of the regiment and the military factory with strong technical strength, Kuban suddenly found that the cooperation between the two sides should be far more than the sale of stolen goods. The diversified industries of head Cao are also equivalent to providing more ways for Kuban to cooperate, in addition to the shady underground trade, Kuban can also do some fair business. These sunrise industries, which are very local characteristics and have a very advanced market, are definitely not low in value in Kuban's view.

As a result, Kuban wandered leisurely to a large vineyard behind, which was created by the head of the regiment on a whim. Since the head of the Cao regiment came forward to deprive those rabbit aunts in the canteen of their powers, the head of the Cao regiment has always felt a little ashamed in his heart, so he tried his best to give them a second chance to work. These rabbit aunts don't have much energy, but they are quite talented in gardening, and it is simply appropriate to work in this area, which is the raw material for winemaking, and it is also suitable for it.

Kuban is dressed like a dog in a little dress, and he has a bit of a pretense, and after two or three idle sentences, he was recognized by the rabbit aunts and asked him to visit the vineyard by himself. The bunches of purple agate-like grapes made people appetize at a glance, and Kuban pondered for a long time, feeling that he didn't have much of a problem eating two. But he had just stretched out his hand, and Riley also grabbed his wrist at the same time, how did this bookkeeper who had no kung fu background appear. Kuban, a sub-saint-level master, didn't even find out. Ever since Commander Cao asked Riley to dock with Cuban, Riley has been like a haunting undead, always appearing at the most unexpected time and angle in Cuban, and then making Cuban uncomfortable.

Riley smiled and grabbed Cuban's hand, and didn't say anything, as if he could see through human nature, a pair of eyes stared at Cuban so directly. Even a person with super thick skin will be at a loss in this situation.

Kuban sorted out his mood for a long time, and finally smiled and asked kindly, "Don't you let you taste this grape?"

Riley also smiled and said with the same pleasant face: "Don't let me taste it." ”

Cuban really seems to have the heart of this Mr. Fox bookkeeper. If this wasn't the territory of the raiders, Kuban swears he would have done so. In the end, Cuban could only swallow his anger and said: "Then what do I think is sweet or not? I am now digging into the cooperation project between the two sides at a deep level, you must give me a chance to study more, right?"

Riley thought about it, felt that what Cuban said was also very reasonable, and finally suddenly came up with a brilliant idea, reached out and directly picked a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, under Cuban's stunned gaze, he muttered: "How can it be done! You are our honored guest." I'll take care of this kind of thing, I'll taste it. You look at my expression and decide whether to buy it or not. ”

Cuban was so angry that he immediately brushed his sleeves away, and if he stayed for even a moment, Cuban was afraid that he would not be able to help but turn on the rampage mode, and then beat up this bookkeeper who was reluctant to let out even half of the copper plate! The rabbit aunts who witnessed the whole process were also very powerful. As soon as Kuban left, they had already publicized this section to the point that everyone in the mud snail was well known. Mr. Riley's character of fighting for the sake of protecting every penny of the organization's fortune suddenly became the spiritual guide in the entire mud snail secluded, which was admirable.

At the same time, everyone also sighed that Boss Cao was good at knowing people. These shining points on Riley are only clear to Captain Cao. Let Riley come and talk to Cuban about cooperation, it will definitely be a needle to the point. It's just the right arrangement!

Cao's cigarettes and alcohol are good, Kuban only knew it for the first time. As a man, but also a decent person with status and status in the human world, Cuban has an indescribable interest and pursuit in this emerging luxury. Especially after seeing the appearance of the old man Ao pointing out the country with a cigar in his mouth, Cuban felt that that kind of image was definitely the most suitable image of a successful businessman, and he was extremely chic. Even if he doesn't know the true identity of Old Man Ao, but what kind of intelligent race this old gentleman is, and the status of the emperor in this plundering group, Cuban can still keenly see it.

In order to learn the style of the old man and improve his own connotation, Kuban began to deliberately imitate it. It's just that Kuban has been really embarrassed recently, and he doesn't even have half a copper plate on his body. After living half his life, Kuban has never been so down-and-out, and if he wants to have a drink or a cigarette, he has to be lucky to be able to ask for something from others with a shy face. At other times, if he wanted to smoke, Kuban had to risk his life to get close to those three or five rough raiders, and he couldn't help but go over and chat with them for most of the day, so that he could get some good goods.

At the worst time, Kuban even grabbed the cigarette butt on the ground with Wangcai, who had already grown tall, and on several occasions, Wangcai almost bit Kuban's hand! Cuban has been hating to death this demonic beast that has been raised with a fat brain and does not know what breed it is. If it weren't for someone telling Sù Kuban that this was Boss Cao's pet, or the godbrother of Buckley, one of the nine monsters of the raiding group, Kuban would definitely find a dark and windy night to stew this beast and eat it!

In the end, Kuban was really a little fed up with this kind of life of relying on people's snorts, and almost puffed up his whole body, and Kuban took the initiative to find Riley to try his best to determine the cooperation of the tobacco and alcohol business. The most important thing is that if the cooperation can be negotiated, Kuban will have a reason to overdraft his credit limit first, cash out a few cigars and a few jars of good wine to relieve his addiction.

But maybe it's because Riley has left a huge psychological shadow on Cuban in a few days, as soon as he saw Riley's contemptuous eyes in the treasury, the momentum that Cuban finally lifted was instantly extinguished, and even began to wonder if the smooth life of the previous half of his life was just because of his luck.

Under Riley's gaze, Cuban wandered around the entire warehouse for a long time as if he was studying commodities, and finally picked up a strip of red mold very untempered, and pretended to be familiar with Riley: "Old Lai, if our project starts to officially start cooperation." How much do you count me on this thing?"

Everyone knows that this is the lowest-end and cheapest tobacco in Cao's tobacco and alcohol industry, and the factory can produce a lot every day, because the production cycle is also segmented, and the momentum is also full, so it is widely favored by the general public, known as "the friend of the common people". Cuban really wanted to cash out two boxes of bulging cigars to set up the score, but in front of Riley's block, Cuban couldn't open that mouth. His credit limit is almost equal to zero for this bookkeeper, and he is thankful that he can cash out a red mold Kuban. It is precisely because of these few days of poverty. Cuban swore to himself in his heart that he would be indignant when he went back in the future, and that he would be able to find a large amount of cash on his body at any time. This kind of life is not as good as prosperity, Kuban has had enough.

Riley glanced at Kuban lightly, as if he couldn't see Kuban's embarrassment at all, and said: "The original price is ten gold coins, and today I will make eight gold coins." ”

"Eight gold coins, are you kidding me?" said Kuban, who was almost in a hurry to scratch his head at Riley's words, in the tobacco store in the mud snail. A pack of red mold is only priced at a few copper plates. Because this is the place of origin, and the head of Cao Tuan has a policy of benefiting the people, it is sold to the people of the development alliance preferentially.

There are only ten packs of red mold, and a maximum of a few silver coins is a full shot. Even if the Kuban does not have a local household registration. You can't enjoy the local discounts, but you shouldn't be cut off as a big wrongdoer, right? If it was a change to the old scenery, eight gold coins was really nothing to Kuban, and when you meet a guy like Riley, who looks down on people. Kuban can even buy dozens of hundreds of strips in a dashing manner, and then waste them all in front of him. But now Kuban has reached the lowest point in his life, and people are poor and short-lived. A few gold coins can force the Kuban to wipe his neck.

"Young man now, I just can't hold my breath, I haven't finished my sentence yet, what are you excited about?" Riley casually took out a bulging cigar from the drawer, and was stunned that he didn't give one to Cuban. Cuban is definitely older than Riley, but Riley has indeed been working day and night since he took up the promising position of Mr. Bookkeeper of the Raiding Regiment, and he is a bit of a sign of aging, so he looks like a person of some age.

Riley swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog for a while, until he found that the green tendons on Kuban's forehead had jumped up, and his eyes were so blood-red that he looked like he was about to do something irrational and impulsive, Riley spit out a smoke ring and said: "Look at you are still a dog-like, and you are a partner hand-picked by the boss, I will charge you ten silver coins for a cigarette!"

Without waiting for Cuban to taste the sincerity and joy, Riley's words once again made Cuban want to kill him: "But I have a rule, if you don't have a bill of lading signed by the boss, you can't take a cigarette butt." If you want to have a good time, it's best to sign the cooperation agreement first......"

Cuban wanted to cry, and there was a reason why he had not signed the cooperation agreement drawn up by Riley. It stands to reason that it's not complicated to talk about a partnership, but Cuban has a lot of opinions about Riley's wholesale prices for his staple products. As a businessman, sensitivity to price is the most basic practice element. Kuban has been enduring humiliation and spending a lot here, in order to control the cost even lower, and then he can expand his own interests. Even if the cost control zhì down a copper plate, Kuban may earn thousands of more gold coins after that, and this is the gap.

The price on the quotation issued by Riley, in Kuban's view, is definitely not close to the cost price, even if the labor cost and raw material cost are included, this price still has a lot of room for negotiation. But Riley just recognized the current embarrassing situation of Kuban, and insisted that Qingshan would not relax, even if it was a copper plate space, he was reluctant to give it up. The longer the time went on, the more the Kuban could not hold his breath.

Cuban still has his own family business to take care of, but Riley has a lot of time to spend with him. Anyway, these special products are the only ones owned by Captain Cao, and Riley knows that Cuban can't let go. The worst outcome is that Cuban does not do this business, but this possibility is also very small, as long as there is interest, Riley feels that Cuban cannot let go.

One person has dried his saliva for his own bright future, and the other has refused to give up an inch of land for the benefit of the collective, which is even more heart-wrenching than a war of the century. Head Cao dared to let go of nothing but ask, and left all the power to Riley to be responsible, just because he knew Riley's character too well, in terms of business negotiations, Riley's stinginess has always been obvious to all, but in the eyes of insiders, it is not called stinginess, but careful planning, and good housekeeping. Even Gail, compared to Riley in this regard, is still lacking a lot of heat, if Riley is a towering tree, Gale is at most a weed next to this tree.

Finally, in that brightly lit underground warehouse, Kuban's eyes finally moistened, and he no longer wanted to entangle with Riley for even a minute longer. This Mr. Fox bookkeeper, who is also smeared with a slick and slippery back, seems to be eager to buy the entire human world with a few cans of sauerkraut from the Development Alliance!

Looking at the quotation that no matter how hard Cuban tried from beginning to end, he couldn't cut a fraction of the quote, Cuban finally gave in, and under the teachable eyes of Riley, he pressed his handprint hard. Before, Kuban thought that Captain Cao was the most difficult, but the actual situation was that Hades was easy to mess with, the little ghost was difficult, and Riley was the business negotiation of the gatekeeper, even if it was Cuban in the next life, he didn't want to encounter it a second time!

After being cleaned up enough by Riley, Cuban was undoubtedly much more honest, and he no longer played any tricks in front of Captain Cao, and began to seriously plan the operation plan with Captain Cao...... (To be continued......)
