Chapter 699 Exclusive Gold-Spending Cave
Chapter 699 Exclusive Gold-Spending Cave
The money does come quickly, but the risks along the way are also great. It's like making money with your own head on the line.
Later, my cousin and I started our own business.
It's really easy to make money there. You can just bring in pearl necklaces and silk scarves worth ten thousand yuan.
It is not a problem to make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan by just reselling it.
My brother and I have traveled to almost all the countries in Eastern Europe, but unfortunately the good times didn't last long.
We, the profiteers who made a fortune, were soon targeted by the local police.
They are really black.
They came and detained us without asking any reason, and would not release us until they had stripped us clean.
The money does come quickly, but it can't withstand such a rush.
After experiencing this kind of thing many times, we gradually became completely disappointed.
This is just wasted work for these white police officers.”
Boss Xie paused and took a big sip of wine.
"So after all your deliberations, you decided to come to Dasu?"
"No, even though we've been robbed countless times, there's so much money in it, and it makes money so quickly, that we still can't bear to let it go.
I changed my route and continued working in several countries, and then slowly became rich again.
We both had good plans.
When I earn enough money, I will go back to my hometown, get married, buy a house and a car, and live a good life at home.
As a result, my cousin was led by a foreign woman he was dating and not only attracted fans but also participated in gambling.
Once he got involved with those two things, he couldn't escape, and soon he squandered all the money he had.
Not only did he squander his share, but he also ended up losing both of our payments.
The money has been spent, so it is spent. Anyway, I was penniless when I started working with my cousin.
But his health soon deteriorated, and he later owed a lot of debts because of his fan base.
Seeing that he couldn't pay back the debt, he was beaten to death."
Xia Ran: "..."
"So, you came here?"
Boss Xie took two more sips of wine before continuing:
"Well, these people in capitalist countries are very ruthless. Don't look at us profiteering people making a lot of money.
Not many people can actually take all their money home safely.
This is also true here in Dasu. They even opened a number of casinos specifically for our country's traders.
Even if you don't have this idea at the beginning, they will tempt you step by step to follow their pace.
Until you lose everything, not even your underwear is left.
Look at those bars and dance halls across the street. They are all exclusive dens for profiteers.
They are very smart. No matter how much you earn, the people here will always find a way to make sure you don't take back a penny.
They will try every possible means to make you spend all the money you earn here, and don't even think about taking a penny away.
There are many bars and dance halls like this in Moskva.
I was afraid that one day I would suffer the same fate as my cousin, so I began to think about retiring.
It happened that he had helped someone here unintentionally, and with the help of that person, he opened this restaurant.
Although I don’t earn as much as I did as a profiteer, it’s stable and solid enough.”
The reason why Boss Xie said so much is because there are so many Chinese people coming and going in his restaurant.
But people kept coming and then stopped coming.
If you inquire, it is likely that you have been targeted by these brothels and have fallen into them and are out of control.
No matter how rich you are, it's good enough if you can be a pauper who doesn't owe any money when you get out.
Many women who come here are forced to go into the sea for various reasons.
Xia Ran gave him a good feeling.
He didn't want the next time he heard from her to be because she had become addicted to drugs and gambling due to a scheme.
Or forced to go to sea.
After all, they are our compatriots, so we should help them as much as we can.
Xia Ran's heart tightened when he heard this.
The actual situation here was much more exaggerated and serious than she had heard before.
She wasn't worried about herself, as she wasn't even interested in mahjong.
I am the kind of person who gets bored with playing games after a short while.
As long as she's careful about everything she puts in her mouth, she shouldn't have any problems.
Besides, she never believed that pie would fall from the sky for no reason.
She wanted to get rich overnight, but that was to do it with her own hands.
Instead of getting rich by taking shortcuts.
All shortcuts to getting rich quickly are written in the criminal law.
But she was worried about the guys under her command.
These young men are too well protected by the country, and sudden wealth and sudden knowledge may not be a good thing for them.
They may not be able to withstand this test, not to mention that they are at an age where they are interested in everything.
It seems that she needs to give these people a good ideological and political lesson.
She recruited these young men to make money, not to let them fall into the abyss and go to hell.
After thinking it over, Xia Ran changed the subject, "Are all the people who come to eat here from our country?"
“Not entirely. There are also some local people from Dasu. But cooking for them is different from cooking for ourselves.
Take eating dumplings for example. Some Chinese people eat them with vinegar, some with soy sauce, some with chili oil, and some with garlic.
But there is no such thing as pouring yogurt on it. But people here do that. They pour yogurt on dumplings when they eat them.”
Xia Ran raised an eyebrow, "What kind of weird combination is this?"
But when I thought about what I had seen and heard along the way these days, I suddenly felt that this was how it should be.
"That's how they eat. I really can't comment on how people here eat."
"Then this place is all good for you."
"Not really. It was fine when it first opened last year. But it hasn't been doing well since the beginning of this year.
The main reason is that the economy is not good, people have no money, and ordinary people can't afford to eat at all.
What's more, in the past six months, supplies here have become increasingly scarce, and many kitchen items are simply not available here.
We can only get it from our country, and we have to ask someone to bring it over or send it to us, which is also very costly.
What's more, vegetables and fruits cannot be transported because they will all go bad if transported.
Not to mention that if you want to eat some daily vegetables grown in the vegetable gardens of ordinary people in our country, it would be even more difficult.
There is a black market, and they are all air-shipped at high prices, but the prices are so high that I can't afford them at all.
The key is that when the price is high, the cost will go up, and when the cost goes up, fewer people will be able to afford it.
This is like entering a dead end and a vicious cycle.
Now, I only buy it on the black market when I have a large order that specifically requires that particular item.”
Xia Ran nodded, "I see."
It seems that the biggest problem in opening a restaurant abroad is the ingredients.
How to get the original ingredients has troubled many people.
