Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Open Threat_1

Taking a deep puff of his cigarette, Wang Ye asked again, "The company has many security personnel, can’t we just drive them away?"

Big Head Kong wrinkled his face into an orange peel at this, and said helplessly, "I wish I could, but boss, you may not understand, we really shouldn’t offend these blackheads in the big markets. They might not be capable of achieving much, but they’re definitely more than capable of causing trouble! If we offend them too severely, our market may not be able to maintain its peace in the future."

Wang Ye was somewhat surprised. He was only aware that the Russians were not very well-regarded, but when had they climbed to such high positions?

Given the strength and background of the New Sun Market, it couldn’t possibly be held hostage by these Russians, could it...

"So what? Our market doesn’t allow these black-haired fellows to do business, neither do we deal with them. What can they do to us?" Wang Ye asked, puzzled.

"They will mess around, causing disruptions. Not to mention, if they were ruthless, and attempted something like a suicide bombing on any day, could our market continue to function? Don’t consider it an impossible scenario. You should know, many of them are from Car City!" Big Head Kong said with a mournful look.

Frankly, hearing Big Head Kong say all this made Wang Ye’s scalp tingle!

Who had encountered such...

But recalling the various vicious terrorist incidents that had occurred in Russia in the past few years, it seemed like they were indeed the doing of these Russians, especially in crowded places like subway stations, Russians were always on high alert when they saw black-haired fellows...

It looked like this matter needed to be handled with care, otherwise, severe trouble might be on its way.

After contemplating, Wang Ye asked again, "What if we pay more? What about compensating $10,000 for each storefront?"

In any case, it was just a few storefronts. If it could be resolved with a few tens of thousands of dollars, that would be a great relief for everyone. Wang Ye wouldn’t be stingy with that amount of money.

However, to his surprise, Big Head Kong shook his head. "Although we haven’t discussed it yet, I have a feeling this matter isn’t that simple. Their coming this time seems to be organized, and they’re here to cause uproar!"

"What’s the matter? Have you noticed something?" Wang Ye asked in surprise.

"These guys are not ordinary businessmen. I’ve heard of the leader, he’s involved in organized crime," Big Head Kong said through gritted teeth.

Wang Ye was shocked and fell into deep thought.

Big Head Kong had been in the market for so many years, if he said the other party was intertwined with the underworld, then he wouldn’t be mistaken.

But why were these people causing trouble at the New Sun?

Wang Ye’s first reaction was, it must be orchestrated by Maylov!

However, upon further reflection, it didn’t seem likely. After all, Maylov had already caused trouble once, paying a heavy price in exchange for Khodorkovsky’s forgiveness.

Furthermore, both parties had reached a cooperation agreement, and they would join hands to make big money in the future. There was no need for him to stir things up again.

Nevertheless, this possibility couldn’t be completely ruled out...

People’s hearts are indeed complex!

...

No matter what, fight the coming soldier with defences and resist the coming flood with the earth, the immediate trouble must be resolved first!

Wang Ye pondered for a moment and then said, "You go down and talk to them, have them send two representatives up, let’s resolve this face to face."

Big Head Kong nodded, immediately got up and went downstairs.

A few minutes later, he came back in with three Russians.

Big Head Kong introduced, "These three are their representatives. Gentlemen, this is the President of our New Sun Group, Mr. Mikhail."

He didn’t bother mentioning the names of those three Russians, probably because he was thoroughly annoyed with them.

The three Russians didn’t seem to mind, they looked at Wang Ye arrogantly, and one of them laughed, "So this is your president, huh? Quite young and Chinese too?"

Big Head Kong quickly said, "Don’t talk nonsense, Mr. Mikhail is a native Russian, just with a bit of Chinese descent."

The Russian didn’t pay any attention, because some Russians, too, had Asian faces, and some of the Russians were quite like Asians.

Perhaps because they saw Wang Ye was so young, the three Russians seemed to look down on him, casually sitting opposite Wang Ye, their legs propped up on the coffee table.

Wang Ye gave a faint smile, saying nothing.

The Russian sitting in the middle seemed to be the lead, he said, "Say, how do you plan to solve this problem, and let me tell you in advance, don’t try to fool us!"

During such negotiations, Wang Ye naturally couldn’t get involved from the start. Unless absolutely necessary, it’s better to let Big Head Kong engage in talks first.

Big Head Kong naturally understood this, so he began, "Lokayev, we have already discussed downstairs, you don’t agree with the conditions I proposed. Now Mr. Mikhail and I want to hear your thoughts. You can put forward any requests. But let me tell you in advance, do not mention any excessive demands."

The Russian sitting in the middle, called Lokayev, was not very tall, slightly over 1.7 meters. Compact build, crude face, ferocious eyes, he didn’t look like an easy person to deal with!

He smirked, "My demand remains the same. The contract takes effect and the New Sun Market opens to us. Let’s do this, I’m not greedy. Just give us five zones, rent-free and management fee-free for one year. These five zones will be designated as Caucasus areas, only allowing us Caucasus people to open shops and do business. To make it convenient for your management, these five zones will be leased to me, and I will handle the management, rental and fees."

Listening to this, Wang Ye’s eyes squinted.

This was clearly an outrageous demand!

It seems this Lokayev’s appetite was not small!

Being told this, Big Head Kong leapt up, extending his stubby hand, shaking as he pointed at Lokayev and barked, "You’re being too much! The New Sun Market only has thirty-five zones in total, and you want five right off the bat? And lease them to you, why should we?"

Lokayev answered in an unhurried tone, "Why should you? Of course, it’s because not only are we Caucasus people united but because there are a lot of us! In this wholesale market, whether it’s ACT or your New Sun, or Lyublino which will open in the future, without us Caucasus people, none of you could do proper business!"

This was some audacious arrogance...

Big Head Kong was quite provoked, with an abrupt wave of his arm, he angrily said, "What’s this? A threat?! Lokayev, be clear about who are the investors behind New Sun Group! If we tear our faces apart, do you think you will get off easily?"

Lokayev only scoffed, not even sparing Big Head Kong a glance.

The other two Russians by his side also spoke up. One of them looked at Big Head Kong, "Who’s behind New Sun has nothing to do with us. All we know is, unless we give the word, no one would dare to transport goods to New Sun. I would like to see how your market operates then!"

This was a clear threat...
