Chapter 22 Exploding a Big Fish (Second update, please collect and recommend)
  Like anyone who does business, Li Yian is well aware of the importance of information in business activities. This is why all large consortiums have corresponding intelligence agencies. In the shopping mall, information is money, and intelligence is wealth.

Cane sugar is one of the most inconspicuous bulk consumer goods, but it is currently the most in demand commodity in the US market.

"Sugar is 55 cents per pound."

Li Yian, who was sitting in a chair, looked at the price on the report. After the Pearl Harbor incident, the market price of sugar entered a period of skyrocketing. From the initial 12 cents per pound, it increased more than four times to around 4 cents. Floating, and this is the official price.

"The black market price is US$1, and the profit doesn't seem to be big..."

Although the profit is not large, it cannot withstand large quantities. After all, the people's desire for sweets has always existed, and the demand is very strong.

“Because the government is conserving shipping capacity for transporting other urgently needed supplies, sugar is in short supply and candy manufacturers are unable to obtain sufficient raw materials. Sugar disappears from many people’s kitchens, while candy shop owners keep the best candies for those who are willing to pay the highest price. , even the buying and selling of bubble gum has formed a black market!...The current gap in the sugar market is 500 million tons..."

500 million tons!

Li Yian calculated on his notepad that even according to the official price, sugar can be sold for about US$1200 per ton.

500 million tons is a market of US$60 billion!

60 billion, 60 billion! You can’t spend it all in a lifetime!
  Just at this moment, an exclamation interrupted Li Yian's fantasy.

"My goodness!"

Who else could it be but Zhu Yihai? When he opened the door of the company, Zhu Yihai was stunned by the cars parked in the warehouse.

Brand-new BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and other luxury cars were neatly parked in the warehouse, making him almost think he was hallucinating.

"Boss, boss..."

Zhu Yihai said excitedly when he saw his boss coming out of the office and standing behind the railing on the second floor.

"Did you bring this from England?"

"Are they all new cars?"

"Absolutely. There are also a few second-hand cars."

"Boss, there are no second-hand cars. I can guarantee that as soon as these cars are launched, people will rush to grab them!"

Grabbing like crazy?

No, others have no chance to grab it!
  ……

"Thank you for the tea."

His words were soft and gentle, and the smile on his face was so sincere that it even gave people the illusion of being refreshed by a spring breeze.

"You're welcome."

Looking at Carlo Gambino, Li Yian also had a smile on his face.

In fact, he was prepared for this moment. Doing business with the Mafia always ends with meeting the Godfather.

Now the mafia godfather is finally here.

Dozens of cars exploded with big fish - the never-shown Mafia godfather finally showed up!

The godfather's appearance is a prerequisite for continuing to expand the business with the mafia.

What's the best thing about doing business with the Mafia?
  They don't talk much, they won't ask about the origin of the goods, and they pay quickly and neatly. Of course, the premise is to dispel the other party's intention of taking advantage of others.

The information revealed by these cars was enough to dispel their thoughts.

The most important thing is that he needs to use the mafia's sales channels to sell goods to himself.

And this requires teaching the father to stand up for himself.

"I rarely get involved in business matters."

Carlo Gambino looked at the young man in front of him and said.

His greatest characteristic is his low-key behavior. He always does things through military advisers and confidants, and never comes forward himself.

Now, the reason why he came here was not because of dozens of cars, but because of the other party's ability to transport the cars.

"I came here today in the hope that we can have long-term cooperation in the future, if you still have cars or other products."

A smiling Carlo Gambino said directly.

"Just like today, I will give you the best price, and all transactions will be in cash."    "This is why I choose to cooperate with you."

Li Yian said with a smile.

"I believe we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Then he said unabashedly.

"I have some connections in the official transportation team, and I can transport a lot of supplies from the UK, and of course, from other places."

The reason why Li Yi'an said this is that you must be careful when dealing with the mafia. The mafia in these days are all the kind that use Thomson to whip corpses. They tell true and false information just to make them avoid the rat. , making them think that they have the support of a bigger person behind them, so that they will have some scruples and don't have to worry about being hacked.

Carlo Gambino was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"So, the last transaction was just a test?"

In an instant, he seemed to understand the identity of the other party. This Chinese was just a certain person, maybe even a representative introduced by some officials in Washington. After all, all ships that could sail across the oceans were officially requisitioned, and only the official ones Only a few people can load a large cargo like a car onto a ship, and there are only a few days between the two transactions. Isn't this a test?

"Mr. Gambino, many times, we have to work together over a long period of time to build real trust."

Li Yian's half-truth and half-false answer made Carlo Gambino nodded with deep approval, and then said.

"Yes, true trust takes time to build, but I believe your choice is definitely right."

Now Carlo Gambino has his answer, confirming his suspicions.

"Of course, when I saw Mr. Gambino today, I knew that my choice was right. I think we will have more room for cooperation in the future. In the future, we will transport a steady stream of goods to New York, so as long as you have With sufficient funds, we will arrange navy transport ships to transport the goods here in batches."

Li Yi's pretentious words made Carlo Gambino and Anastasia look at each other, and then he slowly said:

"Li, if you have cars or other supplies in the future, just make a call in advance and I will prepare the payment. Even if the transaction amount is ten times larger than today, there will be no problems on my side."

Soon, the transaction was completed. When Gambino ordered the car to be driven away, he took a look at Li Yi'an's rented warehouse and then said to Anastasia.

"Anastasia, keep those little hoodlums in Brooklyn away from here. This is Mr. Lee's place. He is our friend."

friend?

If the mafia is reliable, sows will climb trees!

This just sounds nice.

But mafia money is still money!

The proceeds from this transaction were a full $[-]!
  But what really surprised Li Yian was not the huge 500% profit, but that while this transaction allowed him to gain more than 12 experience points, the system actually opened new functions.

[The system trading function can be enabled, whether to enable it. ]
  "System trading? Can you trade within the system?"

Is this the real system gift package?
  With some excitement, Li Yian chose "Enable", and then, words appeared on the light screen.

“The storage space quota can be temporarily increased, the upper limit of the space increase shall not exceed 50%, and the period shall not exceed 24 hours.”

Facing the system prompts, Li Yian raised his eyebrows slightly.

That's it……

Is this the long-awaited gift package?
  Is this gift bag big?

The space can be temporarily expanded...it actually requires 10000 experience points.

"Zhoucao, this is too expensive..."

Although he said this, his body was honest. Although he felt that temporarily increasing the space capacity was a little expensive, the benefits were still extremely considerable.

"Actually, you can also consider Cuba..."

Once again, Li Yian hit this thing in Cuba.

First of all, Cuba is very close to the United States. Secondly, Cuba is the most important source of goods for families such as Gambino.

"Maybe I should try Cuba."

After making up his mind, Li Yi'an and Zhu Yihai asked him to see if he could buy cigarettes from other channels. At the same time, he drove to the consulate in New York, where he found Li Guoren's old colleagues and used US dollars to clear the way. I easily "replaced" a passport. Compared with the previous temporary certificate, this passport is the real proof of identity, and this passport is also a pass to other countries.
