Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 776 Conflict in the Fruit Market

I gave Wen Bo a promise. I will help him invest, win the dry seafood market in Wanchai, and help him find the source of goods. Of course, there are prerequisites for this. I won’t say it, but Wen Bo knows that he needs to continue to do it. Brother, restore law and order in Wan Chai.

If he can't even deal with the eldest brother, why should I help him? Like I said, everyone has his value. If you don't, then you are not qualified to get what you want.

Wen Bo stayed in the restaurant, and Ah Xi and the bald man were recuperating at my place. Although they were not seriously injured, if they went to the street with a bruised nose and a swollen face, the police would definitely notice them, and they would not dare to run around.

Wen Bo and I asked for a blank calling card, made a few calls, and waited patiently without seeing any action from him.

A Liao and I drove, and Xiao Hei went to Wan Chai to see the situation there.

When the car arrived at the fruit wholesale market in Wanchai, it could no longer drive in. In the past, the car could directly drive into the parking lot of the wholesale market, and get off there to carry the fruit, but now a group of security guards have blocked the intersection, and no vehicles are allowed to enter. Inside.If you want to go in to pick up goods, you have to register, and then the security guards will take you in, find a porter to move the large amount of fruit you bought, and then load it on the truck.Of course, these are definitely not free. You can pay the moving management fee on a monthly basis or by the number of times. If you want to buy fruits, you have to use the porters in the market, and you can’t find someone to move them yourself!
This is collecting protection fees in disguise!
The number of customers here is obviously less than before. Many tourists went in for a stroll without knowing it, and they would definitely encounter some obstacles when they came out without buying some fruits. More or less there will be some physical contact with you, or swearing.Of course, you won't force buying and selling, and you won't do it, but it will make you feel very uncomfortable after all.The shopkeepers here are full of complaints, but they just dare not speak out, because several of the largest fruit wholesale shops have been forcibly occupied by the elder brother.

I don’t know if it’s the elder brother or the expert behind him. He came up with a very business-minded way. He colluded with the tour group to attract tourists from the tour group to buy fruits, and then they demanded a sky-high price. go out.Tour groups get a commission from it, because the amount is not large, and it is indeed a relatively rare tropical fruit in the mainland, so most tourists don't care much about it. The price is high and they don't buy more, so no one complains.

The three of us followed the tourists into the fruit wholesale market. As soon as we entered, we felt that someone was following us.

A small, black and thin man approached A Liao obsequiously, and introduced: "Boss, do you want to buy some fruit?"

A Liao replied angrily: "No, I'm here to buy seafood!"

The black and thin man didn't hear A Liao's teasing, and hurriedly said: "Then boss, you went wrong. This is the fruit wholesale market, and the seafood market is behind here!"

A Liao ignored him and continued to move forward. The black and thin man tasted it before he realized what A Liao meant, and introduced again with a smile: "Boss, if you want to buy fruit, I will introduce you to some shops. Newly arrived fruits imported from Southeast Asia, the price is fair and fresh. You are guaranteed to be satisfied!"

A Liao opened his mouth and asked, "I'll just take a look and don't buy it!"

The black and thin man was not disappointed, but continued to say: "Boss, you may not know the rules here. You must buy some fruit when you come in, otherwise you will not be allowed to go out! But don't worry, you follow me, I will let you go out!" You can buy the fruits you like without wasting money, and you can’t buy these fruits outside!”

A Liao said disdainfully: "If I don't buy it, why don't you let me go out? Are you a black shop here? In such a big wholesale market, you can still buy and sell by force?"

The black and thin man explained: "I don't necessarily force you to buy it, but if you don't buy it, you will inevitably not be watched, thrown, or bumped into. It's not guaranteed! Also, when you go out, they will see If you didn’t buy any fruit, you’ll be charged for tickets! Why don’t you just buy some fruit and deal with it!”

A Liao snorted and said: "I still don't believe it, Lang Lang Qian Kun, is there any king's law?"

The black and thin man hastily made a silence gesture and said: "Boss, don't be angry, it's not worth it. It's not worth it to see that the boss is rich. It's not worth it for some fruit money!"

I said with a smile: "Little brother, are you warning us?"

The black and thin man hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I'm really the owner of this shop, and I'm also a small business. Since this big brother took over here, we can't do this business anymore. We used to help customers by ourselves. We are not allowed to move the fruit at all now, we still have to pay management fees and transportation fees, if we don’t pay, we will be fined, if we don’t pay enough, we will be fined. That’s why I risked being discovered, just to solicit some business.”

I said with an oh: "Then take us to your store to have a look!"

The black and thin man rubbed his hands happily and took us to his shop.

His shop is not big, and there are very few fruits in it, just a few kinds.

I frowned and said, "You have too few types of fruit. Look at their stalls. There are at least dozens of them. What about yours? There are just a few. I can't buy them in any supermarket, and they are not fresh." !"

The black and thin man sighed and said: "We also want to buy some other fruits, but the source of the goods has been cut off by the elder brother. If you want to buy fruits, you have to go through him. That price is unacceptable to us, and neither can the customers. Ah! The fruit here is much cheaper than theirs. I plan to clear the stock and stop doing it! Just look around and buy something. It’s better to go to their store to buy it, the price is scary!"

I thought about it for a while and randomly picked a box of red heart kiwi fruit. After calculating the price, it was really not that expensive, and it was completely acceptable.

I paid the money, and A Liao was about to carry the fruit away, when suddenly two big men in overalls walked up and shouted stiffly: "Put it down, let's move it!"

A Liao looked at the black and thin stall owner very strangely, and the black and thin man quickly explained: "They are market administrators, and they are responsible for carrying all the fruits, but you have to pay some moving fees!"

A Liao didn't put down the box in his hand, and said angrily: "I don't have hands, should I use them to carry it?"

As soon as the words were finished, the two administrators stopped in front of A Liao, and one of them said arrogantly: "You can move it, but I can't guarantee that this box of fruit can be moved to yours smoothly and intact. In the car! The ground here is not flat!"

I sneered and said, "Why is it not peaceful?"

One of them said lukewarmly: "It's because the ground is uneven, not too level, not too level!"

I said, "Thank you for reminding me, A Liao, let's go, I want to see what's wrong!?"

A Liao directly knocked away the two administrators blocking them. Xiao Hei and I walked behind A Liao. One person can't beat so many people! When I just came in, I observed it, and there are at least dozens of them here."

I calmly said, "What are you afraid of? You can handle it with dozens of more people! If you want to take the head of the general in the army, you just need to grab the eldest brother!"

Xiao Hei said with a sharp cut, "Then you two, wish yourselves the best of luck!"

Before we reached the door, we were stopped by some people without management uniforms. The big man who was knocked away by A Liao just now pointed at us and said, "They didn't let us move the goods!"

A short but very muscular bald man came out of the crowd, looked at me sideways, and asked, "You don't know the rules here?"

I asked in a daze, "What's the rule? I'm just here to buy some fruit. Are there any rules? Are the market regulations regulated? Didn't we spit everywhere?"

The bald head snorted coldly and said: "What are you pretending to be? When I came in, I saw that thin monkey following you. The rules have already been made clear to you, right? Are you deliberately finding fault?"

I snorted and said, "I just want to ask, who made the rules? Where is the Industrial and Commercial Bureau?"

The bald man let out a haha, and said with a smile: "Have you encountered a challenger today? It's not the first time we've dealt with someone like you. You don't have to follow the rules, but we won't be responsible for any accidents! After finishing speaking, he gave a look to the people next to him.

The two people who were knocked away by A Liao walked over first, and knocked them down with a wave. A box of fruit that A Liao carried on his shoulders, the dragon fruit was scattered all over the ground, and the two of them did not forget to step on it. feet, and then said to A Liao with a smile: "I'm sorry, I was not careful, I was not careful for a while!"

A Liao went up and grabbed one of them by the collar and said, "If you are not careful, you will have to pay!"

The other hand immediately knocked off A Liao and pushed A Liao, but unfortunately he didn't push.

I stopped A Liao, raised my fist, and said, "Forget it, I'll feed the dog!"

A Liao snorted, kicked the box, and walked outside with me.

But a group of people blocked our way. The bald man was digging his ears and said arrogantly: "Let littering anywhere, you will be fined 500! This is clearly stipulated!"

A Liao retorted: "Are you blind? Did we throw it around? Obviously your people knocked it out for me. Would I throw the fruit I bought with money on the ground?"

The bald head said without raising his eyelids: "I didn't see it!" Then he asked the people around him loudly: "Did you see it?"

The people around him replied together: "Yes, he threw it!" Then they all pointed to A Liao.

A Liao said furiously, "You mean to blackmail me, right? Should I give the money?"

The bald head pursed his lips and said, "Then you lick it clean before leaving!"

I picked up my mobile phone and said, "Then wait for the police to solve it!" After speaking, I was going to call 110 to call the police.

But if I was not careful, the mobile phone was snatched by a child in the crowd, and then hid behind the crowd. I wanted to rush to grab it back, but was blocked by a group of people.

The child disappeared in an instant.

The bald head said arrogantly: "I have already said, we are not responsible for any accidents!"

I smiled, stopped squeezing into the crowd, pointed at my bald head and said, "500 yuan, right? I'll give it! What about the invoice? Bring the invoice, and I'll give you the money!"

The bald head touched his own, and said with a smile: "We only have a receipt here! Pay first!"

I took out my wallet, and just as I was about to take out the money, another small hand stretched out. This time I was smart, and I caught the small hand at once. With a little force, I pulled out the owner of the small hand. The little boy, who was about 7 or 8 years old, was picked out by me, and he was not afraid, and shouted: "Let me go! I beat someone!"

I strengthened my hand again, the little boy was in pain, swearing at me, desperately trying to break free.

I looked at the bald head protestingly, but the bald head simply turned a blind eye, as if he had nothing to do with him.

Immediately, though, several people rushed over, pushing and shoving me to let go.

I didn't let go, and I didn't back away. Instead, I pointed at those people with my other hand and said, "Who is the child? Come out and claim it? If you don't admit it, I'll hand it over to the police!"

A few people didn't come up to recognize them. The little boy took advantage of the time I was talking to them and opened his mouth to bite my hand. I let the little boy go in pain, and he ran away in a hurry.

I looked at the wound on my hand, and there was a deep tooth mark from the bite. I held back the pain, took out 500 yuan, and asked the bald man, "Where's the receipt? Let me see!"

With a bald face and a self-inflicted expression on his face, he lazily took out a receipt from his pocket, tore it off, handed it to me, and then reached out to take my 500 yuan.

I took a look at the receipt, frowned and said, "What kind of broken receipt is this? It doesn't even have a stamp!"

The bald head sneered and said, "This is our receipt, do you want it!"

I nodded coldly and said: "Okay, okay, okay, you guys are ruthless!" After finishing speaking, I grabbed A Liao who was indignant and walked out again.

The bald head didn't make things difficult for us this time, but he just wanted to say sarcastic remarks later: "What are you pretending to be? Why don't you just get out like your grandson!"

A Liao and I didn't look back, we continued to walk outside.

At this time, a voice from the crowd behind said: "Catch them, don't let them go, they are videotaped!"

A Liao and I ran to the door quickly, but it was still too late, and the door was locked directly by two administrators.

A group of people blocked the two of us at the door, and the bald head asked viciously, "Hand it over?"

I groaned and asked, "What are you paying? Didn't all the money be given to you?"

The bald head said fiercely: "What are you pretending to do! Where's the phone? Hand it over!"

I cut it and said: "You are so fucking blind! Didn't you just snatch your phone away!"

The bald head was right after thinking about it. He looked back hesitantly, and a man with a goatee came over and cursed: "Silly X! It's theirs, not them!"

The bald head was annoyed by being scolded, and asked in displeasure, "Then what's the use of arresting them?"

Goatee sighed and said, "His people didn't get caught, and if they didn't catch him, they would all run away! If you catch him, his people will come back naturally! Catch him and go to my brother!"
