Chapter 261 - 267 Reached an Agreement
Yao Mingyuan had maintained an aloof attitude ever since Li Yifei and Lin Qiong appeared, which had also secretly surprised Li Yifei. Generally, those in the underworld business, including smugglers with a good downstream buyer, would value such a relationship, but Yao Mingyuan seemed indifferent; he acted as if reaching a deal with Li Yifei wasn’t anything significant.
This also meant that the contraband of this smuggling group was very popular and they always had good sales channels, so they weren’t concerned about finding buyers. It was evident how large this smuggling group was, and their meticulous way of conducting business also demonstrated their strength.
"Elder Fourth, Little Ma must have told you about my situation. I am a straightforward person. My wife keeps a tight hold on the purse strings, so I don’t have a lot of spare cash. I only have one million right now, and I want to take one million worth of goods this time. I’m not sure whether we can make this deal happen," he said.
"One million..." Yao Mingyuan looked at Li Yifei with a hint of surprise and said, "Are you sure you want to take goods worth one million in one go?"
It was only the mention of one million that seemed to pique the other party’s interest. Li Yifei quickly added, "Yes, I want to test the waters this time. If this line of business works out, I can definitely raise more funds. Taking three or five million worth of goods next time will not be a problem."
Fortunately, he had prepared one million this time. If he had prepared less, it really wouldn’t have attracted any attention from the higher-ups, and he and Lin Qiong wouldn’t have been able to get in touch with them at all.
Yao Mingyuan took a puff of his cigar, and as thick smoke curled from his mouth, he said, "Brother Li, don’t you think you’re being a bit reckless? It’s no problem for me to supply the goods, but selling them may not be so easy, and avoiding trouble is not a simple matter either."
Li Yifei laughed proudly and said, "Elder Fourth, you’re overthinking it. In my territory, I can definitely take care of customs and police. As long as the goods get there without any issues on the way, I can guarantee that within a month, my one million worth of goods will be sold out."
"Then Brother Li, what kind of goods do you want exactly?" Yao Mingyuan asked.
Li Yifei quickly said, "Do you have any high-end watches? These items are in great demand in our area, and due to their small size, they’re less likely to cause problems."
