Chapter 27 Bai Daoxi, do you want to do a big business? (For further reading, and investment)
After getting the red wine, Li Zaihua still didn't intend to leave. Instead, he walked into the counter and sat down.
"Boss, what's your surname?"
The wine boss swallowed his saliva, panicked, and said tremblingly: "Bai Daoxi..."
"Very good, Boss Bai. In addition to this bottle of fake wine, I think there should be a lot of fakes hidden in your wine cellar, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Daoxi fell to his knees.
"Mr. Prosecutor, I don't want to sell fake wine. The rent in Cheongdam-dong is really too expensive, so I have no choice but to pass it off as good quality..."
Bai Daoxi is very smart and never mentions that the goods he sells are fakes. Counterfeiting is punishable by a fine, and counterfeit wine is punishable by jail time.
"Also, this is my first time selling. I didn't expect to meet you. For the sake of this being my first offender, please forgive me!"
Li Zaihua looked at Bai Daoxi who kept kowtowing, smiled slightly, and stepped forward to help him up.
"Boss Bai, don't be nervous, I won't arrest you, but I have a business I want to do with you."
Bai Daoxi was startled and scratched his head subconsciously: "Mr. Prosecutor, you didn't lie to me! What business can we do?"
"Boss Bai, let's be honest. You are definitely not selling fake wine for a day or two... Have you ever thought that you will definitely meet an expert who knows the goods in the future? What will you do then?"
Hearing this, Bai Daoxi was completely dumbfounded.
Yes, I met a prosecutor today. What if I met a rich man who knows the goods in the future?
While thinking about it, Bai Daoxi suddenly had an idea and suddenly raised his head to look at Li Zaihua.
"Mr. Prosecutor, do you have any ideas?"
Li Zaihua snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Of course, but my help can't be in vain..."
As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers using internationally accepted gestures.
Bai Daoxi understood: "Mr. Prosecutor, it's really not profitable to open a red hotel. As long as you can help me solve my troubles in the future, your benefits will be indispensable!"
Li Zaihua secretly sneered, I believe you, but Baek Do-hee is right about one thing, the rent in Cheongdam-dong is really expensive.
In addition, the emergence of a large number of fake wines must have purchase channels.
He guessed that there should be a lot of smuggled wine in [Caesar Wine Hotel].
In other words, the Baek Daoxi in front of him not only sells fake wine, but also engages in smuggling.
After thinking about it, Li Zaihua's eyes lit up, and he said like a devil tempting a girl: "Are you interested in doing a big business together?"
"Boss Bai, you have channels for purchasing goods. You must know a lot of smugglers..."
Looking at the man who looked like a demon, Bai Daoxi's throat rolled and he swallowed, unable to say a word.
"Mr. Prosecutor, you are fishing for law enforcement. I will not be fooled."
Seeing this, Li Zaihua patted Bai Daoxi on the shoulder: "Boss Bai, don't worry, I'm serious. I'm so short of money recently. How can I live on the prosecutor's salary alone..."
"As long as you have channels and can get the goods, I can be responsible for introducing customers and ensure that you make a hundred or a thousand times more money than you do now!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Daoxi frowned slightly and seemed to be no longer afraid. He raised his head and stared at Li Zaihua.
"Mr. Prosecutor, are you serious?"
Li Zaihua looked at the guy who no longer pretended to be stupid and said jokingly: "What do you think? Bai Daoxi, Boss Bai!"
Bai Daoxi took a deep breath and immediately tested it.
"If I agree, how will the benefits be distributed?"
Li Zaihua licked his lips and said with a smile: "What! Boss Bai has an idea?"
"Forty-six, every time the transaction is successful, you can get 40%, and the remaining 60% belongs to me."
Hearing this distribution method, Li Zaihua was obviously a little dissatisfied.
"I want six, you take four!"
Bai Daoxi smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Prosecutor, this 60% doesn't just belong to me... I also have a group of friends who depend on me for their livelihood. If I can get 20% of it, it's pretty good."
"
"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet?"
"Lee Jae-hwa, prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, Criminal Division 1!"
Li Zaihua openly revealed his identity.
Anyway, there is [electronic control] interfering with the monitor. As long as there is no evidence, no one can do anything about it.
Seeing that Li Zaihua was not secretive, Bai Daoxi began to believe it in his heart and couldn't help but be ready to make a move.
[Caesar Wine Hotel] really doesn't make money. Even if it sells fake and smuggled wine, it can barely maintain its capital. It would be good to have an income of tens of millions every month.
During this time, I made some friends because of the fake wine, including members of the smuggling team.
The peninsula is very xenophobic and supports local enterprises. The import taxes are very scary and smuggling is definitely a very profitable business.
"Prosecutor Li, can you give me a few days to think about it?"
"Three days, I will give you three days at most." Li Zaihua pondered for a moment and said, "You have to think about it carefully. If you miss this village, you won't have this store!"
Bai Daoxi nodded seriously: "Prosecutor Li, can you leave your mobile phone number so that I can contact you then."
It's a pity that Li Zaihua has always been cautious in doing things.
"No need, just give me a business card and I will call you in three days."
Bai Daoxi had no choice but to take out a business card from the counter and hand it over.
Li Zaihua took the business card and looked at it, then put the handbag on the counter and took out 20 million in cash.
"Boss Bai, when I said 20 million, it means 20 million."
After saying that, he quickly left [Caesars Winery] with the bag in hand and the wine box in his right arm.
Bai Daoxi did not move, just stood behind the counter, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the car passing away, and gradually fell into deep thought.
Yes, he was moved. He worked hard to learn about red wine abroad, thinking that he would make a lot of money by opening a store after returning to China.
However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
Ordinary people on the peninsula prefer local soju, beer, vodka, and cocktails, but not red wine.
Even if you open a store in Cheongdam-dong, there will be many people coming to buy wine, but the cost of opening a store will not be low.
The monthly rent alone is tens of millions, and there are hundreds of millions in mortgage deposits.
Bai Daoxi was so miserable that he chose to sell fake and smuggled wine to reduce costs.
However, the world is not going well. The peninsula has not recovered from the financial crisis in 2008. Most of the products sold are cheap red wine worth hundreds of thousands, and there is no profit at all.
As for high-end red wine, except for some upstarts, the real big customers have their own channels and will not come to small shops like his.
Therefore, Baek Daoxi's current situation is extremely embarrassing, neither good nor bad, as if he is worthless, tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away.
I'm not willing to close my business, and I can't make any money if I don't close my business, so I'm in a dilemma.
At this moment, a road leading to the sky is in front of him, how can Bai Daoxi not be tempted.
What he was afraid of was whether Li Zaihua was lying to him, and he didn't want to go to jail.
For a moment, Bai Daoxi was filled with fear and expectation, and she didn't even notice that a guest came in.
It wasn't until the customer shouted to the boss that he woke up and a professional smile appeared on his face again.
