Chapter 31 (1/2)
The news from the guest house of the municipal Party committee soon spread to the ears of all interested people. There is a steelyard in everyone's heart to measure whether the deal is cost-effective. Three days later, some of the weaker businessmen have been waiting outside the guest house of the municipal Party committee, always paying attention to the trends in the guest house. On the one hand, it's the anxious businessmen, on the other hand, it's not easy for seliosha. He spent a lot of money on the play of Boris and father Petrov. And the most important thing is that there is no real goods in the warehouse. I'm afraid it will show up after a long time.
Yakov, who has been out to inquire about the news these days, knows many local businessmen in Qiuming. Those big businessmen don't have such a good attitude towards Yakov. Most of them are small businessmen who are close to him. Huge business opportunities are in front of them. Even though they know that there is little hope, these little people still gather here every day to chat and exchange intelligence. In a few days, some of them got to know Yakov.
”Have you heard that those two guys think that the businessmen in our place are too weak, so they are going to leave here and want to transport the goods to Novosibirsk.” A guy with a big beard said.
”Yes, the news came from the waiters in the hostel. Anyway, we have no hope. I think it's guys like romonosov who really feel sad.” Someone commented bitterly.
”In our Qiuming, romonosov has the greatest strength. Even he can't eat this batch of goods. I don't think romonosov is anything compared with the real big players.” People are talking nonsense.
Yakov handed them a cigarette from time to time, which won the favor of the group. Someone who just met Yakov these days said, ”brother Yakov, you are a good smoker, a serious foreign product. Where did you get it? ”
Yakov replied, ”if you can buy it there, you can buy it wherever you produce it. What do we do? Do you still need to ask?”
”It's not easy to make this kind of cigarette. It seems that you are quite capable.” Someone praised it.
”Compared with the two people who live in the guest house, my skill is nothing.” Yakov said modestly.
”Do you know where those two people came from?” Some people seem to recognize that Yakov may know something about the two men.
”I do know some, but it's not very accurate.” Yakov said slowly.
When people around heard Yakov say this, they gathered around one after another. Someone encouraged Yakov and said, ”what's the situation! Tell us about it. ”
”Yes! Tell us about it
”Have you heard of Nikolay Popov of Gorky?” Yakov took a puff of his cigarette and said, puffing out a ring.
”Of course I've heard that. It's a tough guy. It's said that father and son have monopolized Golgi for decades, but recently they've been killed!” There are people around Yakov.
”Do you know who killed Popov?” Yakov said clearly.
”Who? Aren't they the two guys in the hostel? ” The curiosity of the fire was aroused.
Yakov laughs and no longer answers.
”No, they did it. I heard that Popov and his son had been in Gorky for two generations. How can we say that if we are killed, we are killed? ” There are still people around the relentless questioning.
”Haven't you heard? Popov was pushed into the Volga River by bulldozers, people and cars! Even God can't save him! ” Someone answered the guy's question.
”My God! It's not easy to get into trouble with these people! ” People all sigh.
”Why did they kill Popov? Do they have any festivals? ” Someone then asked Yakov.
”Have you seen the younger of the two? He had been stabbed by a knife man sent by Popov and almost died. No wonder Popov is looking for death. ” Yakov replied.
”The young one's name seems to be Boris. Yes, it's Boris. Isn't there news that Boris wants to change all his goods into oil? But the old man didn't agree. ” The topic has been raised.
”If only they wanted oil. It's not easy for us to get some oil here? As long as we give enough money to the cadres in the oil field, we will not need as much oil as we want. ” A crowd of onlookers said with regret.
