259: Chapter 164 Entrusted Cooperation 259: Chapter 164 Entrusted Cooperation “Tommy, what brings you to ?
Don’t tell you want to join my crew and collect cans?” Allen Zhang asked.
“Spot on, mate!
I’m flat broke, holess, and after giving it a good think, your team might be the only place for a guy like , especially with all the drifters around.” Tommy replied.
“What makes you think I would take you in?
I may run a recycling operation, but my team isn’t a dump where just anyone can join.
If you’ve got nowhere to live, you could go to a shelter.
Want to recomnd one?” Allen Zhang answered.
“Because I’ve got a head for business, I can make a lot of money for you!
I even have a detailed plan that can bring in at least fifty thousand US Dollars!”
“The last guy who promised that ended up with broken legs, and I still had to clean up his ss,” Allen Zhang scoffed.
But he gave him a chance, “Let’s hear it, what’s your plan?
You’re not hoping I’ll help you level the playing field with rival forces, are you?
I heard you went bankrupt because you were betrayed, and had a batch of goods stolen?”
“You know about that too?” Tommy was surprised, but then thought about how extensive the other party’s information network must be, so it wasn’t strange after all.
He honestly replied, “Yeah, I’ve been persecuted, fallen into a trap set by my own people.
I invested all my funds in a batch of pirated CDs and even took out loans to buy a batch of adult tapes.
Everything was going well, but then a flood of cheap copies hit the market, and my sales tanked.
I couldn’t sell them and didn’t make a cent!”
“After that, I was betrayed again, accused of tax evasion, illegal sale of adult videos, claiming there was an underage girl in one of the videos, suspected of child trafficking and abuse!
Fxxk you!
That’s bullshit!
I’m a decent person!
But those cops, I don’t know what got into them, they really dug up so old dirt on !
In the end, I couldn’t pay the debt, my assets were frozen and seized, and I was declared bankrupt.”
You could tell, the guy was pissed and incredibly unlucky.
“So according to you, that batch of goods should be worthless now.
Why would soone steal them?” Allen Zhang inquired with confusion.
“I just found out that they had colluded with people from other record companies, hoarded a bunch beforehand, waited for to fall into the trap, overpay for the stock, then they crashed the market.
After my record company was ruined, they made money and destroyed the surplus pirated CDs, and sales returned to normal, Fxxk!
I’ve been on the West Coast for so long, never thought I’d be screwed over by my own people!”
Tommy said furiously, “What’s even more infuriating is the guy who betrayed .
Right after I hit trouble, he paid the penalty to jump ship to my archrival’s company, and took my goods.”
“…”
Isn’t that just like buying high and selling low, a matter of your own luck, not the road being unfair.
Tommy, you really are too kind to be playing mind gas with those people.
Where’s your AK?
“So what do you want to do for you?
Get your goods back?
Doesn’t seem like there’s anything in it for .
I’m not that capable, just a recycler, I don’t want to ddle with your circle’s ss.” Allen Zhang waved his hand, indicating he had no interest in joining a street feud.
“Listen to .
The goods that were stolen, at today’s market value, are worth at least 50 thousand US Dollars!
Those pirated CDs valued at fifty grand, I don’t want a single cent, they’re all yours!
I can also help you find people to sell them!”
Tommy said, “I just can’t swallow this defeat!
I must make him pay dearly!
I know the traitor’s ho address, he’s using that money to buy an apartnt, and there’s a party tonight!
He surely knows where the goods are.
You just need to bring your guys with to trouble him, snatch the goods back, I’ll handle the rest!”
“I’ll consider it.”
Allen Zhang nodded when he heard this, “But I need to consult others first.”
“I’ll co back for you tonight.
If you don’t agree, I can understand, but I will move forward with my plan regardless!” Tommy turned and left after finishing his words.
Allen Zhang watched him go, deep in thought, while Jennifer comnted, “That guy is full of hot air, all lies.
You don’t actually believe what he said, do you?”
“Of course not, because he only ntioned the goods worth fifty grand, but there was not a peep about the record company’s warehouse or the suburban filming locations.
I’ve studied the business model of these companies, even in bankruptcy state, the remaining value should be way more than that.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t give up on the fifty grand worth of goods, unless he could get more out of it!” Allen Zhang replied.
Jennifer seed surprised, “So you’re planning to help him retrieve that batch of goods?”
“What goods?
Aren’t those ours?
Those are pirated discs worth fifty thousand US Dollars, and they’re current hot sellers,” Allen Zhang smiled.
He took out his phone and glanced at the ssage Blitz had sent him.
Blitz: Done deal, the arcade will be in a jackpot state for 24 hours, and it will take at least two days to get soone to fix it.
They won’t have the ti to trouble you.
