Chapter 45: Business Deal Settled

~7 min read 1,400 words

Shisan Mei and a few others, as soon as they received Chen Mo's phone call, came over quickly.

"A Mo, congratulations! Recently, on the whole Gangdao jianghu, you're the one with the loudest reputation!"

Han Bin brought Konglong, and as soon as they arrived, they lavished Chen Mo with praise.

"Brother Bin, Brother Konglong, you're being too polite—none of your territories is smaller than mine!"

Chen Mo said humbly.

"A Mo, in a few days the main hall is holding a meeting; do you want me to get you a boss position?"

Shisan Mei also said.

Chen Mo thought for a moment, then refused: "Sister, let's just forget this. If Jiang Tiansheng voluntarily offers it, maybe we can accept; otherwise, let's forget it."

"The bigger the tree, the more it attracts wind!"

"Alright, what you say also makes sense; then let's forget it."

Seeing Chen Mo refuse, Shisan Mei thought about Jiang Tiansheng's character and didn't bring it up again.

The small group of three bosses was still enough to make Jiang Tiansheng wary.

No matter what, Jiang Tiansheng would never let Chen Mo become a boss.

Chen Mo took out several reports from his desk and gave them to Shisan Mei and the two others.

"These are the accounts of my underlings selling counterfeit goods today; you bosses take a look first."

This was just prepared by Chen Mo before they arrived; aside from the clothing costs being altered, the rest are real data.

Shisan Mei and Han Bin looked at the reports, their expressions growing solemn.

"Holy shit, you made this much in one day?" Konglong let out an exclamation.

He might not understand the specific details, but he can still see the profit at the bottom.

On the report, Chen Mo kept the cost around 40 per item, and the profit ended up just over 100,000.

"Chen Mo, are these clothes really that easy to sell?"

Han Bin and Shisan Mei both found it hard to believe.

Chen Mo also didn't explain, and ordered Fei Ji: "Fei Ji, go bring the remaining clothes over so the bosses can take a look."

Chen Mo had deliberately kept two samples of each style, just for them to see.

Not long after, Fei Ji came over with a stack of clothes and placed it on the tea table in front of them.

"Bosses, take a look at the quality and style of my clothes, then check the price—do you think they won't sell well?"

Shisan Mei and the two others picked up a few pieces to examine; Konglong even found a suitably sized piece and put it on directly.

"This quality is really good; looking at it this way, the price isn't expensive at all!"

"Good, with this quality and price, it definitely won't be hard to sell."

Shisan Mei and Han Bin both gave their approval to Chen Mo's counterfeit goods.

"A Mo, if we take goods from you, what price can you give us?"

Han Bin was the first to ask.

Chen Mo deliberately hesitated a moment: "We're all our own people; I definitely won't charge you a high price."

"You've also seen that different styles have different costs; how about I give it to you at fifty-one per piece?"

Han Bin and Shisan Mei glanced at each other and also considered it.

The price Chen Mo offered was indeed not high.

Buying at fifty-one each and selling at around a hundred, the gross profit doubles.

This deal is very profitable.

"Good, you're Shisan Mei's person, so of course you're one of us—we'll go with this price."

Han Bin immediately agreed.

"Bosses, how much goods do you plan to take?"

"First, let me say this: my factory's production capacity is limited—at most about four thousand per day, and at most only a few ten thousand per month."

"I'm thinking of first supplying our four parties; if there's any left, we'll bring in others."

"Why consider others? It's only a few ten thousand items—we few can eat it all."

Konglong said domineeringly.

He now felt big wads of cash beckoning to him.

Seeing this, Chen Mo quickly tried to cool his head: "No, Brother Konglong—I sent a dozen or so underlings to sell clothes, and today is the first day setting up a stall, and this is Women's Street, which is why it sells so well."

"If in the future these clothes are sold on the market every day, and then switched to your Tunmen, they won't sell as quickly."

He was genuinely afraid that Konglong would get hot-headed, buy up all the clothes from his factory, and then come back to him unable to sell them.

By then, trying to reason with this brute would be pointless.

"Exactly, you think it's like instant noodles—gone after eating. This piece of clothing can be worn for a year or two." Shisan Mei also couldn't help reminding.

Han Bin also advised: "Just take a few thousand pieces to try first; if they sell well, order more."

After being urged by several people, Konglong finally calmed down.

Really, his Tunmen is too poor; seeing a moneymaking opportunity, he can't help but get excited.

Chen Mo took out three name cards of Jimi and handed them to Han Bin and the others.

"This is the manager of my factory; just contact him."

"When the time comes, go directly to the factory to pick up the goods; he'll issue you invoices."

After the business matters were settled, Han Bin and Konglong didn't linger long.

They were eager to go back to find suitable underlings and spots for stalls, and also prepare a warehouse.

But Shisan Mei, however, stayed behind.

Ah Mo, you got into a conflict with the people from Dong Xing?

Thirteen Sister, how did you know?

Chen Mo felt a hint of surprise; Sang Bo's trouble had just happened last night, and Thirteen Sister already knew?

This morning, Dong Xing's Uncle Ben called me, saying your subordinates had a conflict with you and wanted to set up a banquet to resolve the dispute! What exactly happened?

Hearing that Bai Touweng was stepping in, Chen Mo frowned slightly.

It's just Sang Bo; why would Bai Touweng need to get involved? Besides, there wasn't any major conflict last night.

Could it be that Bai Touweng has some connection with Sang Bo?

Chen Mo then told Thirteen Sister in detail what had happened last night, and also wanted to hear her opinion.

Perhaps Thirteen Sister knows something, after all, she has a good relationship with Bai Touweng.

Damn, you really are a scumbag!

Thirteen Sister scolded Chen Mo with a sentence.

Chen Mo never expected that Thirteen Sister's attention wasn't on Sang Bo and Bai Touweng, but instead focused on Chen Mo bringing Qiu Di back home.

Chen Mo couldn't help but retort: "Thirteen Sister, I just found another chick, it's not like I'm chasing new and discarding old, seeing one and swapping another! Does this even count as being a scumbag?"

You're not a scumbag? I used to think you were just a playful rogue because you had no chick, but I never expected I'd misjudge you!

Thirteen Sister lay face up, looking sorrowful.

Chen Mo then realized Thirteen Sister was just joking.

Damn, Thirteen Sister, you joke at the wrong times—I'm trying to talk serious business with you!

Chen Mo was somewhat speechless.

Can't you at least clarify Bai Touweng's relationship with Sang Bo before joking?

"Hahaha!" Thirteen Sister changed her previous atmosphere and sorrow, laughing loudly.

Seeing Chen Mo not laughing and still looking at him helplessly, Thirteen Sister also found it boring.

Having no choice, she put away her expression and spoke seriously: "Alright, let's talk about the main matter. Sang Bo doesn't have any special connection with Uncle Ben; at most, Uncle Ben is just Sang Bo's old top lackey!"

Is that connection worth him speaking up for Sang Bo? Chen Mo asked, puzzled.

Uncle Ben doesn't like fighting. Although Sang Bo first caused trouble at your place, you letting people slap Sang Bo's face was indeed a bit excessive.

I guess Uncle Ben just wanted to act as a mediator and help you resolve the conflict.

Chen Mo didn't accept Thirteen Sister's explanation, always feeling there was something else going on.

After thinking, Chen Mo said: "Thirteen Sister, if Uncle Ben calls again, just help me schedule a time!"
