Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Strong Counterattack (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

The very next day.

Early in the morning, Wang Ye was still in bed, sound asleep, when she was jolted awake by a series of frantic phone rings.

With blurred vision, he groped for his cell phone, not knowing what time it was due to the curtains being drawn.

Looking at the phone, it was not even seven in the morning yet, and the call was from Liu Jun.

"Hello... It’s so early, Brother Liu, what do you need from me?" Wang Ye asked sleepily.

"Big trouble at the marketplace!" Liu Jun said urgently.

Wang Ye jerked awake and sat up. Trouble at the market?

Could it be that the people across the street were stirring up trouble again?!

With Angelina still asleep beside him, Wang Ye gently got out of bed and went into the living room.

He asked solemnly, "What happened? Is it the New Sun Market?"

"It’s not the New Sun, it’s the old market that’s in trouble! My friend who does business there told me that when he went to the market in the morning, the whole old market was surrounded by a powerful department, and only allowed to exit, not enter! I just went there and took a look, oh boy, all were hefty men over 1.9 meters tall, with black hoods and wielding assault rifles. Nobody even dares to get close!" Liu Jun exclaimed.

Apparently, he was stunned by the scene.

......

In fact, things on the old market’s side have already turned into a mess!

At about five in the morning, many Chinese bosses came to the market, preparing to enter when they found that the several entrances to the big market were cordoned off, with a bristly looking police officer on duty not letting people in.

At first, they said it was some sort of temporary inspection, so everyone didn’t take it to heart.

Because such "health inspections" and "fire inspections" had also happened before, but they were usually resolved quickly and would not cause too much delay.

Many people are hanging out in the New Sun Market, chatting and waiting.

But around six-thirty, something seemed suddenly wrong.

A series of green trucks drove in. After the vehicles stopped, squads of Special Forces in camouflage uniforms and wearing black hoods, with submachine guns in their arms, disembarked and rapidly surrounded the entire old market.

Most Chinese bosses had never seen such a large scale enforcement before.

Of course, some of them were familiar and immediately recognized the origins of the newcomers.

One of them exclaimed, "My goodness! The Ministry of Internal Affairs is here? What big trouble has the market gotten into!"

Here, when it involves a strong unit like the "Ministry of Internal Affairs", there obviously won’t be any minor incidents...

A Chinese boss who speaks decent Russian plucked up the courage to approach and asked what had happened. As he approached the cordon, however, the on-duty Special Forces officer gave him a cold look, with the black muzzle of a gun also pointed in his direction.

The boss immediately broke out in a cold sweat, hastily raising his hands and asked with a forced grin, "Hello Davarich, I do business in this market, I would like to know what happened and why we are not allowed in."

The Special Forces officer did not answer his question but only said, "Back off immediately! We are just performing duties. Somebody will explain to you guys later."

Sure enough, after waiting for about ten minutes, a man in a suit came out and issued a public announcement to the crowd gathered on opposite side of the road.

The announcement was that the old market (i.e. the ACT Market) has been halted for business due to major health and fire safety issues, and needs to be rectified immediately!

As for when the doors will open again, that would depend on the progress of the rectification...

Everyone was in an uproar, does that mean the old market has been shut down?!

"What about our goods, they are all inside the market!"

"Yeah, even if they rectify, they should let us take out our goods."

"Why can they just close down at their whim, without even providing a date for reopening!"

"This is absurd, my goods just arrived yesterday, and now the market is shut down?"...

But their protests were completely ineffective, because after the suited man made the announcement, he walked away without looking back.

He clearly had no intention of engaging with them at all.

In the crowd, Lao Wu and Old Liu were also present, they too were victims!

"Lao Wu, what do you think, how long is the market going to be closed for this time? This is the peak season, even a day’s closure will lead to quite a loss! What’s this for? The market hasn’t had any issues in recent years, why is it being checked again?" Old Liu said with a look of worry and frustration.

Lao Wu seemed pensive. He also had quite a bit of stock in the market. But luckily, he rents a warehouse outside the market where the bulk of his goods are stored.

So even if the old market is in trouble, he won’t lose too much.

"Old Liu, you knew about the trouble in New Sun Market yesterday, right? And today it’s the old market... Could it be..." he suddenly spoke up.

Reminded by him, Old Liu suddenly understood and asked in surprise, "Are you saying..."

"Yes! I dare say this is definitely the revenge of the New Sun Market’s boss! It seems the force behind the New Sun is really strong, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been mobilized - this is not something just anyone can do." Lao Wu said with certainty.

He has been in Moscow for quite some years and has some understanding of these convoluted matters.

Just by looking at what has happened over the past two days, he could roughly guess.

This is a battle between the forces behind the two markets, old and new!

Compared to that, the force behind the old market has fallen behind, resorting to crudest tactics of hiring gunmen for assassinations. It’s about as low as you can go.

On the other hand, the New Sun Market is playing the right game!

They directly use the country’s powerful departments to subdue you, leaving no room for resistance!

"Then what should we do....." Old Liu hesitantly said.

This time, with the big market being shut down and the enforcement being this heavy, it probably won’t be resolved anytime soon.

But business can’t wait!

For those like them, doing business abroad, the daily expenses aren’t small - their daily expenditure the very moment they open their eyes is at least a few hundred US dollars!

They can’t afford delays...

"Isn’t the New Sun Market seeking merchants? And it’s also currently waiving rent and management fees. I was hesitating yesterday, but now, I don’t have to hesitate anymore. I’ll go and inquire later, and quickly lease a couple of shops!" Lao Wu said, without any hesitation.

He still has a lot of goods in his warehouse outside, so as long as he can rent a shop in the New Sun, he can start his business immediately. It’s a seamless transition!

Moreover, he now has a sense of the strength of the New Sun Market!

Obviously, if it looks promising, then it’s time to act quickly!

One should know, the New Sun Market is organised according to the type of goods. The footwear area has only three streets with three hundred shops. If he acts too late, there might not be any shops left...

There weren’t a few Chinese bosses who share the same sentiment as Lao Wu. Perhaps, before today, everyone was still hesitant, wanting to observe a while longer.

But, seeing the current situation, those who are a little smarter have all understood.

The rise of the new market is unstoppable!

Because the power behind the new market is simply too strong...
