Blackstone Code

Chapter 75:

In the morning, Richard sat somewhat uneasily in an office still emanating the scent of fresh paint. The spotless, bright window did not withhold a single ray of sunlight, illuminating the entire room.

Not long ago, when the Lin Qi and Michael incident surfaced, both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Tax Bureau almost simultaneously located Richard. As one of Lin Qi's crucial "henchmen," he was expected to play a significant role in Lin Qi's alliance with Fox. However, both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Federal Tax Bureau guessed wrong, leaving Richard as a pitiable outsider.

After undergoing the alternating enforcement actions of the two major authorities, he paid bail and was released. In the end, Lin Qi proved his innocence, but there were no further developments regarding the bail he had paid.

If one thought that Richard, after this harrowing journey that almost scared the soul out of him, would give up on collaborating with Lin Qi, then they would be mistaken. The stimulating effects of enormous profits had given Richard the courage to trample on the law. As long as there were substantial profits, there was nothing he wouldn't dare to attempt.

He had also tried searching for a new job at the employment center. However, every time he saw jobs with guaranteed hours plus additional hourly wages, along with the meager income, he lost any desire to try.

Like a decaying piece of wood, burying himself in work, earning just enough to barely sustain himself each month, this wasn't a job; it was the systematic murder of his own life.

Just when he was contemplating whether to take a risky path, Lin Qi called him, bringing a sense of brightness back into his world.

The next morning, Richard arrived half an hour early at Lin Qi's warehouse. Seeing the boss in more upscale clothing, Richard expressed his confidence in Lin Qi's return and the courage to continue working with him in a very humble manner.

Once accustomed to the habit of making quick money, no one would willingly bend their back for a job. This was one of the reasons why many criminals found it challenging to break free from their criminal activities. They were accustomed to various forms of destruction, violence, and quick cash. How could they willingly submit to honest work?

"Meeting you is like seeing the sun, dispelling the darkness and clouds, boss." Richard was eloquent, and his mind was sharpthis was why Lin Qi chose him.

Of course, he was also bold enough. At least, when he received Lin Qi's call, he didn't hang up directly after saying a casual "sorry, not interested." Instead, he came here in advance to meet Lin Qi.

Lin Qi patted his shoulder. "Work well, and we will have a bright future. Some more people will come later, and you'll be half a teacher to them, helping me train them for a while."

Richard behaved extremely humbly. When Lin Qi spoke, he slightly lowered his head, showing a listening and approving attitude. Overall, his performance satisfied Lin Qi.

"Can you tell me in advance what we are going to do next so that I can prepare?" When Richard asked this question, his blood pressure soared, and his heart began to race. He was afraid Lin Qi would mention a job that wouldn't satisfy him.

Fortunately, Lin Qi could see through the young man and the hidden greed within him. So, he happily provided an answer, "A new job with no base salary, but this time your commission will be much higher. As long as you have the ability, you can earn much more than before."

When it came to making money, Richard was very committed. He assured Lin Qi, pledging to do his best in the job.

By half past ten in the morning, most of the people Lin Qi was waiting for had arrived.

Among them was a group of children, the oldest looking around thirteen or fourteen, and the younger ones twelve or thirteen. They were the children left behind by the News Head.

With Lin Qi's financial support, they didn't have to worry about being left with nothing and taken away by guardians, only to be thrust back into a new hell, where they would be exploited again. They cherished this opportunity, as no one else was willing to give them a suitable job with decent pay.

These children wore clean but old clothes. In some remote streets of Sabin City, there were many stalls selling second-hand clothes. Most of the stall owners didn't look very friendly. They often stole these clothes from various places in the city and sold them here at low prices.

Initially, there were only two or three small stalls, but now there were more and even included some furniture. Last year, the Sabin City Police Department issued a notice stating that burglaries were on the rise. These individuals not only stole money but also did not spare furniture and appliances.

The police department reminded all residents to lock their doors securely before leaving home and take protective measures.

Richard stood in the middle like a proud rooster, also the most independent. On his other side were about twenty young people, Lin Qi's employees brought in through the employment center.

Lin Qi glanced at his watch, signaling a child to close the door. He then began discussing their future work with these people.

"I know some of you must be confused about what we are going to do here..." When he said this, the children, including Richard, looked at the group of "new employees."

This made the new employees inexplicably nervous, as if they were somehow different from others. This also focused their attention.

"In fact, it's very simple. I want you to do sales. I have a lot of goods here..." Lin Qi called a few children to distribute handbooks to everyone. "The items in the handbook are what you need to sell."

Although called a handbook, it was more like a photo album. Opening the handbook, the first page revealed four colorful photos, accompanied by descriptions of the items and their prices in the mall.

These prices were all collected by the children who had been running around in various places during this period; they had contributed a significant part of the effort.

Richard also looked attentively, not fully understanding, but he knew how to maintain the dignity of those in power. He didn't ask but pretended to understand, showing a look of "Oh, I see now."

"I want you to go door-to-door, tell them your purpose, show them the items in the handbook, and tell them how good these things are..."

"I know some of you may think this is a difficult task, but please believe me, this is much simpler than you think."

"The bottom line for the prices of all items is forty percent of their original prices, and we split the excess in half."

Everyone took a sharp breath. Even those who were planning to leave revealed surprised expressions. In the entire Sabin City, and even the entire state, and the federation's territories, there was no such level of commission.

Even those who thought it was impossible began to have some thoughts at this moment. Why not give it a try?

After waiting for them to digest this information, Lin Qi continued, "If you think this job is too easy for you, no problem. I have another job that I can give you."

"Every Saturday afternoon, there will be a second-hand goods trading auction here. There will be a large number of second-hand goods auctioned off, and I'll give each of you a hundred seats. Your job is to find people to come and fill those seats."

"In the transactions that occur at your seats, you'll get a five percent commission on the total transaction amount. Gentlemen, note that as long as the people you bring in engage in transactions, you'll have income."

"I have millions' worth of goods waiting to find buyers here, and these goods will only increase. Don't worry that I won't have anything to put up."

"I can even give you a guarantee: every month, at least three people here will earn over ten thousand bucks. If no one's income exceeds ten thousand dbucks, I'll personally make up the difference for them."

"For the top three in sales performance, if I can't make their monthly income reach ten thousand or more, I'll make up the difference for all of them. This applies to everyone."Please vote for this novel at /series/blackstone-code/
