133: Coincidentally

Although this place was far less prosperous than Staller, he found it had its own advantages.

As a shop Boss, he could treat customers however he liked, even tamper with transactions, and people could only swallow their anger.

In Staller, he wouldn't even dare to think of such things.

Fortunately, the network he built in Staller helped him find a foothold here and become a person of some influence.

Although a recent incident had caused him some embarrassment, luckily he got what was promised, an imported IBM computer.

He knew that ordinary people could not resist powerful individuals.

As the Boss of a special supply store, he was well aware that he could not compete with the leaders of the military factory.

He remembered why he lost his footing in Staller, and this humiliation could only be silently endured.

One day, he would turn things around, and then he would definitely teach those who looked down on him a lesson!

After Kakanov complained a few times, he continued watching his favorite TV series.

However, the sudden noise from outside made it impossible for him to concentrate.

How annoying!

Why were there so many cars outside today?

"Kodo Yiqi, what are you eating?

It's so noisy outside, hurry up and close the door tightly!"

He shouted at the employee outside the door.

Kodo Yiqi was usually responsible for chores in the store and at home.

"Boss, the door is already closed."

Kodo Yiqi responded softly, but his face still carried a smile.

Strange, it's still so noisy after closing the door?

Kakanov's residence was right behind the store.

He usually drank tea and watched TV here.

He tried to ignore the noise, but the engine sounds outside were too loud, completely drowning out the TV sound.

"Kodo Yiqi, are you deaf?

Go out and see what's going on!

Why is it so noisy!"

"Coming, Boss."

Kodo Yiqi grumbled but still did as he was told, opening the door to check.

However, as soon as the door opened, a huge cannon barrel appeared before his eyes, pointing directly at him.

"Ah!"

Facing the dark muzzle, Kodo Yiqi was so scared his legs turned to jelly, and he collapsed onto the ground.

"What a good-for-nothing!

Sooner or later, I'll kick you out.

You panic over such a small thing."

Kakanov came out of the store, his face full of anger, clearly extremely displeased with whoever interrupted his TV watching.

Just as he was pondering how to teach this person a lesson, the scene before him froze him.

Kodo Yiqi was sprawled on the ground, scrambling awkwardly, while a cannon barrel thicker than his head was extending through the doorway, aimed at his store, which was his life's work.

If this shot were fired, he probably wouldn't even have black bread to eat.

Thinking of this, Kakanov's face instantly turned pale.

Just as he was stunned, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Long time no see, Mr. Kakanov."

"It's you?"

Kakanov looked in surprise at the Asian face walking in.

Wasn't this the person who embarrassed him a few days ago?

How dare he come back?

Xu Ning straightened his clothes, trying to look presentable.

After all, although tanks were cool, it was hard to maintain elegance on bumpy roads.

He clapped his hands, signaling the people outside could come in, then walked directly towards Kakanov.

"Aren't you going to welcome me?

I even gave you an imported computer.

At least let me sit on your store's sofa."

Kakanov's face flushed red, and he cursed Xu Ning in his heart.

That computer was originally his!

But at this moment, he could only complain inwardly.

He glanced at the cannon barrel extending into the store, and the "soldiers" wearing sunglasses and holding weapons who were coming in one after another, and forced a smile, saying:

"Of course, of course, please come in."

"Then I won't be polite."

Xu Ning said as he strode in, while Kakanov followed behind, gritting his teeth.

In Kakanov's eyes, Xu Ning was like the incarnation of a demon, specifically here to oppose the existence of angels, even though he himself wasn't exactly a devout person.

"May I ask what you need me for?"

Kakanov asked.

Xu Ning unceremoniously picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of black tea, and drank it in one gulp.

"Actually, it's nothing much.

I just want to discuss a cooperation with you."

"Cooperation?"

Kakanov repeated, puzzled.

"Exactly, cooperation."

Xu Ning said affirmatively.

He poured another cup of tea, then leaned back comfortably on the sofa.

A horror movie was playing on the TV, which coincidentally matched the feeling Xu Ning gave Kakanov.

The room door was half-open.

Kodo Yiqi got up from the ground and watched the scene curiously.

The Boss who was usually arrogant and overbearing was now standing there like a servant, while this young Asian man was sitting like a master.

This made Kodo Yiqi find it a bit amusing.

He had never seen his Boss look so pathetic.

Kakanov had originally looked forward to this meeting, but remembering his past experiences dealing with Xu Ning, each time leaving him utterly humiliated, he couldn't help but hesitate again.

After thinking for a while, Kakanov mustered his courage and said: "Mr., about this cooperation, I think we should forget it.

As you know, I'm just a small shop owner.

How could I be qualified to discuss cooperation with you?"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but a hint of regret appeared on his face as he prepared to get up and leave.

"That's truly a shame.

I originally wanted to let you make some money.

It seems I'll have to give the opportunity to someone else."

"Make... make money?"

Kakanov's eyes immediately lit up.

He had never married in his life, and his only interest was money.

As he got older, this interest grew stronger and stronger.

Kakanov quickly ran in front of Xu Ning, closed the room door, and stopped Xu Ning.

Xu Ning pretended to be surprised and asked: "What is it?"

Kakanov bent at the waist, his face fawning, and rubbed his hands as he said to Xu Ning: "Don't be angry.

I just don't want outsiders to hear our conversation.

Let's continue discussing your cooperation proposal."

Seeing Kakanov take the bait, Xu Ning suppressed a smile and sat down again.

"Alright, since you're interested in hearing, I'll be straightforward.

Remember those computers we saw at the factory?"

"Of course I remember."

"Do you think this thing sells well?"

After a moment of thought, Kakanov said frankly: "It's not easy to sell here."

But he immediately added: "It is indeed difficult in such remote areas because the people here don't have enough purchasing power.

But if it were in a big city like Staller, selling dozens of units a day shouldn't be a problem."

After speaking, he gave a wry smile: "Of course, as you know, the control from above is very strict, and the import quota is limited.

The amount I can get is not much."

"However, for this kind of goods, you definitely make a profit on every unit sold.

The profit is quite considerable."

"But what does this have to do with the cooperation you mentioned?

Do you want me to help you sell those two computers?"
