Monster Factory

Chapter 599: I have a tunnel.

August 17, 2022

No matter what city in Mexico there is no intermediate relationship between black and white, and if there is not a large number of subordinates under your hand who dare to fight for you do not even dream not becoming a successful person, and if you expect to be law-abiding and working hard for your career, also don’t even think about becoming a successful person.

This is the heartache of Mexico: the violence that has become the only way to the top.

In this chaotic Mexico, in the town called Salvaro, a town near the US-Mexico border, a merchant who happened to be a successful person and become a leading merchant and to put it better, the best businessman, this man’s name is Lopez.

At nine in the morning, Lopez, with a beard, walked out of the gate of Shanghai City Airport. He took his two brothers with him. At ten o’clock, they arrived at the foot of the Monster Heavy Industry Company building. This is the second time he has come to China. Three years since he first came visiting, Lopez couldn’t help but be moved by the changes those have taken place during those three years.

According to most of the young people of this country called China, they have lived ten or twenty years without even hearing gunshots. Lopez felt this eastern country really changes every year. Decades ago, there were hardly any praiseworthy tech companies in this country. Over the past three decades, this country has grown into a powerful force among global science and technology forces, with several well-known world-class technology companies.

During his entire life in Mexico, Lopez had heard no news about Monster Heavy Industry. Until Sapphire became a hotspot in the world’s media, he also learned this company also produced cell phones.

At first, Lopez hadn’t paid attention to it, but recently those under his hand met many people specializing in crossing the US-Mexico border and came to their homes to rent tunnels along the US border-Mexican. Those who cannot afford the tunnel tolls on weekdays and their favorite activity that relies on getting special chemicals from Mexico and selling them to drug addicts in the United States must cross the border fence.

There were two well-hidden secret tunnels in the town of Salvaro, and as the United States adopted more and more means to combat the tunnels, these two remaining tunnels became more expensive and Lopez controlled one of these two tunnels.

One day, Lopez sensed something was wrong, so he casually stopped a few smugglers and opened their suitcases. Now it’s no longer a banned chemical that they smuggle across the border, but cellphones with beautiful packaging. Wanting to understand the whole story which wasn’t complicated, he casually asked these well-known smugglers to brief him on the subject, and they all explained it to him. The huge business opportunity inside this trade has finally come to Lopez, and after watching for a few days and confirming that this business opportunity might get bigger and bigger; he just flew to China from one shot.

......

Those who have the money are always looking for various ways to earn more money.

......

When he first arrived at the door of the Blue Sky Building, Lopez was a bit frowned upon. He believed the size of the Monster Heavy Industry business was not too large, with the office building across from him occupying only two floors. On the contrary, the newly constructed skyscraper across the road was full of unprecedented dominance.

With the humor of a local bully coming in to donate money, Lopez prepared to strut into the Monster Heavy Industry Company.

As a result, some evil-eyed and physically strong security guards stopped them at the gate and demanded they register their personal information and accept the security check. His two subordinates just looked up unconvinced and prepared to slam the security guards, and the response was quick to arrive. Two electric batons with the fuse open, and the green light of the device flashing were on the necks of the two young brothers.

Lopez saw his alien status wasn’t working out well, so he ended the game in a rush. Passing the security gate smoothly, Lopez waved, in English, to the young girl who was in charge of receiving them and said: "I want to see your president.”

"Sorry, if you don’t make an appointment, you can’t meet the president directly.”

“I’m going talking about a big deal related to your Magic Crystal phone,” Lopez didn’t show how proud he was, but there was still a bit of superiority in his tone, and the employees here cannot bear it.

"I can arrange for you to meet our manager. Our manager Kong is responsible for the Magic Cristal mobile phone business. If you want to meet the president, you can also let him arrange that," the receptionist smiled kindly.

After a long time of self-cultivation, Lopez has naturally learned a lot in the town of Salvaro, for example, and the mayor may not be able to make a mess in the open.

When the receptionist got ready to go to the manager’s office, Lopez coughed twice and straightened up. He wanted to show his integrity and his manners and make him understand he is just a very lovable big boss and that there is no such mess, the bad guys who portray the Mexican boss in their movies as a bully don’t show the truth so fear not.

After walking along the long catwalk for a while, then turning twice, this beautiful and professional receptionist bent over and smiled at him and said in English: “Sir, our manager’s office is across the street from you. Please, the rest area is next to you, wait a moment. Do you want coffee or black tea?”

"Is there any Chinese Longjing tea?" Lopez smiled gentlemanly, expressing his elegant taste in passing.

"Yes, wait a minute," The beautiful receptionist went to make some hot tea, and Lopez happily opened the living room door.

As a result, as soon as he walked through the door, Lopez was stunned on the spot. The seating area in front of him was nice and spacious, but the two leather tables are already full of men in leather suits and shoes. The table designed for two people is crowded with four people. Although he tried to keep the appearance soft and elegant, it’s too crowded here. He almost endured their impatient stares that had already betrayed their true thoughts.

"Lopez?" In the crowded living room, waiting for an interview, someone suddenly called Lopez in Spanish.

Surprised, Lopez followed the voice and looked very surprised: “Mr. Pedro, why are you here?” After running with respect, he kissed the old man who had wrinkles on his face.

"Sit down first," Old Pedro pulled out the plastic stool from under his buttocks, slammed hard on the floor, picked up another from above, and pushed him towards Lopez.

Lopez sat down next to him with respect. Mr. Pedro was the leader of his early career. He was exhibiting in another city. In terms of influence, Lopez was not as good as him.

"Did you also come for the Magic Cristal phone?" Pedro, the older one said with emotion: "I waited two hours. Not only had me, but even Mr. Amata also waited a little longer time."

"Mr. Amata... is here too?" Lopez felt his brain was a little hypoxic. Mr. Amata was a famous figure throughout the northern region. If we were talking about money, he could fill two containers.

After calming down, Lopez felt it was all too unreal. He thought he was a rich man, but it was only here that he realized he wasn’t. What’s even more incredible is so many great people here were waiting for an interview with the manager.

"Why is that?”

This question made Lopez, after having thought about it several times and did not understand it. He thought about it from morning to afternoon, and when he finally saw the "manager" in his office, Lopez knew the whole story.

Originally, he thought the 50,000 units he wanted to buy that were worth hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions was a big deal. When he got here, he saw they were just one of the most important roles. There were a lot of customers who were willing to buy 100,000 or 200,000 units, and they were suggesting they prepay 50% of the purchase price.

Even in his own eyes, he had to come in person and spend several days negotiating and deliberating over and over on his important order. He had thought that it was very possible for him as a great businessman to simply present his data and place an order over the phone.

But in the end, Lopez accomplished something that no one else did. He followed Manager Kong’s suggestion and took an additional 10,000 ionization purifiers. He also met the young president who was very popular because while chatting with the business manager he casually said he had a tunnel across the US-Mexico border.
