Compared to the black market in the past, the current black market was more heavily armed. Because the four major gangs were rich, they occupied all the casinos in Las Vegas, and Yanran's place could be considered as their stable source of income. So, the armed forces here were a bit stronger, and with the loosening of their policies, more and more black shops gathered here. Compared to the past, the scale and market were much larger. However, they still had to follow the orders of the four major gangs.
After Travis and his group worked hard to get to the black market, they passed the ID check outside the black market and all their guns and dangerous items were checked.
"Buses are not allowed in the city. If you have any goods, you can find our special car to transport them. If there are no problems, let's go in."
Travis brought a bodyguard, and the old lady also brought a bodyguard. The four of them nodded and went into the black market.
At this moment, a Land Rover passed by them, and the old lady was a bit unhappy. "Aren't cars not allowed in?"
Tevez shushed him. "Special people get special treatment. In the city, only guests of the four major sects or leaders of the four major sects are allowed to enter and leave freely. Everyone else has to follow the rules. If you cause a ruckus here, you'll suffer."
In the backseat of that Land Rover, there was a man in a suit. It was Stenson.
He looked at Travis and the old lady outside. Because of the privacy glass, the people outside couldn't see inside. He sneered in disdain and said to the receptionist beside him, "Those two in the back, if they take even one carat of diamonds from here, I won't look for you. I'll look for your boss!"
"Yes! Mr. Stenson, I know what to do, "the receptionist said respectfully." Then, do you want us to do something? "
"Forget about that old man. As for that young man, teach him a lesson. Just keep him alive." Stenson nodded, glanced at Travis, and sneered. "Two idiots, they still don't know who they offended."
Back then, Travis participated in the kidnapping of Lin Chuxue, and there was no way Xu Cheng would forget about it. This guy had to be taught a lesson, or else he wouldn't learn his lesson.
"Yes, I will take care of this." After receiving the order, the receptionist got out of the car and went to make the arrangements.
Stenson and the old lady still didn't know that they were being targeted.
After the two of them entered the Rare Antique Stone Trading Market, Travis asked each house, "Do you have any diamonds?"
The shop owner was a bald black man with very white teeth. After glancing at Travis, he casually asked, "Do you want low-end or high-end?"
"High-end." Tevez said, "How much is it? How much do you have? "
"35% higher than the market price!"
"You're asking for sky-high prices!" Tevez was speechless.
"Otherwise, why would it be called a black market? Do you want it? Don't f * ck off, don't interfere with my business. Poor bastard, why would you come to the black market if you don't have money? "The black man snorted." Who doesn't fight for the goods here with their lives? If you don't understand the market, go and ask around before you come here. You brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet dares to bargain with me. "
"What kind of attitude is this? How can you not bargain when doing business? "Tevez was furious.
But before he could finish speaking, the black man had already taken out a pistol from his bag and pressed it against his forehead. "If you don't know anything about the black market, I can teach you. This bullet will be your tuition fee. Do you want it?"
Travis immediately took a step back. He pulled his bodyguard in front of him and hurriedly escaped from the shop.
The Old Madam was also shocked by this scene. She hurriedly followed Travis's footsteps and went to the next house to inquire.
Now, Tevez only dared to ask for the price.
"Boss, do you have diamonds? High-end ones. "
"Raw materials or finished products?" the shop owner asked.
"The raw materials are the best. How much?"
"Do you want South African goods or Land of Mercenaries goods?"
"Land of Mercenaries goods are better," Tevez said.
"Land of Mercenaries goods are 20% higher than the market price, and raw materials are 30% higher than the market price."
Tevez stared. "How come the raw materials are higher?"
"You don't understand? Now that the Land of Mercenaries has entered a period of war, a lot of raw materials can't come out, and the whole country is locked down. If you want a finished product, the design and appearance are there. If a customer wants to redesign it, they can't do it at all, so the price is not much different. But raw materials are expensive because they can be redesigned. Customers can customize according to the style they like, so there's a lot of space, and naturally, it's more expensive. " The shop owner said, "For example, for a raw material the size of a thumb, who would be willing to design it and fix its position before they think about it? It's the same principle. Once the position is fixed, the price and the customers are there. "
Tevez smacked his lips. He could only ask the next shop.
But most of them only had finished products. There were very few raw materials.
But their asking price was too high, more than 30%. What profit margin was there to speak of?
The old lady said to Tevez, "Right now, the most important thing is to stock up. Tell the media and shareholders that as long as we can stabilize the stock market, we can slowly sell the shares."
That was the only thing they could do.
They would first stock up and increase the production for this quarter to shut the mouths of the media and shareholders, so that they could buy the shares without worry and not give up.
After stabilizing the stock market, they would think of a way to find other investors to sell the shares to minimize their losses.
The two of them spent 100 million pounds to buy the raw materials for a quarter. If it was a normal day, the purchase price would be 40% more than the raw materials. This way, the cost would naturally increase.
When they brought the goods to the entrance of the black market, a sloppy black man who looked like a pimp ran over and asked, "Is it valuable? Do you need insurance? Give us your address, and we'll send it to you. There's a service charge. "
Tevez asked, "How much?"
"30% of the goods!" the black man said.
"Then forget it, it's too much." Tevez and the old lady were speechless and shook their heads. Then, they loaded the goods into their car and left the black market.
As soon as they left, the black man who specialized in transporting people put out his cigarette and spat. Then he picked up the radio and said, "There's a Ford off-road vehicle without a license plate. Stop him for me. There should be some good stuff on it."
The worker at the entrance shook his head and bitterly smiled. "That guy was really stupid. Didn't he know that these people were kidnappers?"
"It's probably his first time here. If even an experienced driver knows that he never talks to these people after leaving the black market and exposing the value of the stuff in his car, then he's going to be screwed."
The pimp specialized in this business. To put it bluntly, the four gangs did not care about the outside of the black market. Generally, rich people would bring a lot of bodyguards when they came here to buy things. You could buy insurance from the four gangs. If you walked at night for the sake of convenience, you would be targeted by the kidnappers outside. They had even kidnapped the president's car, let alone the car of a rich person like you.
This was also why Haber was willing to pay Xu Cheng more money to deliver his goods to his hangar in the first place. It was because of these unforeseen circumstances that occurred in the middle.
