Chapter 263 - 165 Suburban Fire_2
"When your record company was sealed, was this place not taken away?" Allen Zhang asked.
"No, because this factory had no value. Our record company had several shooting locations, and this was just one of them. It was secretly taken away by this guy; my assets were sealed, but theirs weren’t." Tommy said, somewhat displeased.
Allen Zhang sent Sieg to inspect the goods. Sure enough, they found pirated CDs packed in cardboard boxes next to a player. He tried it out and immediately emotional music blasted out. The content was undoubtedly about leaf, coco, and daring rap.
The expression turned strange, "No wonder people would want to buy this stuff."
"Not everyone can become a big star. These items popular on the Black Market have just such quality with a mix of color, violence, blood — it’s complete crap! But it’s cheap, and if people buy, others will sell."
"Our cost price for these goods is not high, but the selling price is also cheap, it’s just to earn a tiny profit. More so, it involves some money laundering schemes with other gangs. They pay for our CDs, and we spend that money in their bars and nightclubs, cleaning the money legitimately for them."
Tommy revealed the insider workings of the industry. In the West Coast, all profitable ventures are involved with vice industries.
Anyone involved in the industry tends to have frequent cooperation while breaking limbs and tendons. The underworld isn’t about constant fighting and killing, but about favors and connections.
