Loss Of Achivement

Ryder, who entered the room, stretched out his fist and was ready to say hello to the figure on the sofa.

However, the latter did not pay attention to him, but turned to the people around him and raised his chin.

At the hint, an African-American came forward and grabbed Ryder's collar and sniffed twice, and then shook his head at Flipp.

"MotherF*ck! You guy really didn't suck the leaves recently, ah?" Seeing this, Flipp immediately jumped up.

"Flipp, I just don't feel well, so..."

"The group of people in the Madman Club used other medicine for you? Or do they squeeze you dry with women every day, so that you don't have the strength to suck the leaves? Flipp didn't listen to Ryder's explanation at all. He looked around the latter again and again, as if something incredible had happened.

This is really incredible for Flipp. You know, in the past year, Ryder has come to him almost every week to get medicine, rain or shine.

But everything changed a month ago, and Ryder disappeared. Flip also casually asked his men. The last time he heard about Ryder was that he was lying by the trash can and dying.

Since then, Flipp has stopped paying attention to Ryder's news, even if some people say that he joined the Madman Club.

The Madman Club is a place dedicated to his Flipp. However, Flipp did not pay attention to the former. He had never heard of any addict who had completely got rid of the leaves, which was impossible.

However, Ryder appeared, and he actually stood in front of himself in high spirits. Flipp sweared that he had never seen such a Ryder.

From the first day they met, the latter has always been timid and timid.

But look at now..." WhattheF*ck? Flipp couldn't believe his eyes.

"Flipp..." Ryder had no choice but to spread his hands.

"OK~" Flipp stopped looking and turned back to his sofa. Now let's talk about it. I'm not buying leaves. If so, for the sake of old friends, I can give you a discount.

"No, of course not," Ryder resisted everything about Yezi in his heart. "I'm here to do another business for you."

"Oh, look, our Ryder has found another business way." Flipp looked at the people around him exaggeratedly, and everyone else in the room laughed.

Their eyes made Ryder uncomfortable, but he had no choice. In order to get rid of what Dean gave to him as soon as possible, Ryder could only come to Flipp. Who made the latter the strongest?

"Flipp, I know you need it when you do business." Ryder took out a copycat phone card and said, "They are very convenient to use, aren't they? It can't be locked, it can't be traced back, and throw it away when it's finished.

When Ryder took out the card, Flipp's expression finally became more serious. He has seen this thing, and the people under him have received several of them before. And the reason why these cards impress him is that they are cheap.

The price is 20 to 3% lower than that of regular channels, and this discount is not small. The value of a single card may be limited, but if the number reaches a certain scale, the benefits are another matter.

Flipp pinched his chin and began to think about it, and his intuition told him that the profit behind this thing was amazing. And their way of coming must not be seen, otherwise there can be such a big discount.

"Did all these cards that appeared in the east of the city flow out of Ryder's hand?" Flipp looked at Ryder with his arms in his arms and tilted his head.

Thinking of his brother Dean, Ryder nodded indisputely, "It's okay to say that."

"Great!" Flip got up and snapped his fingers. "Ryder, I have to say that you surprised me."

"People always have good luck, don't they?" Ryder shrugged his shoulders.

"That's right," Flip put his arms around Ryder's shoulder. "But as far as I know, you don't know anyone from the telephone company. So..." Flipp leaned close to Ryder's ear, "How did his mother get these cards?"

Flipp made up his mind that if Ryder was caught by him, he didn't mind eating black once.

Of course, Ryder knew what Flipp was thinking, but he was not unprepared.

"Flipp, you should know that my ex-uncle has some connections, right? He is a Vietnam veteran, a member of the Veterans Association, and the boss of Chengdong Himel Hospital has a very good personal relationship with him.

"Your ex-uncle?" Flipp remembered that one was called Bill. Dreber's man, he had a little reputation in Youngstown, at least Flipp had heard of his name.

"That's right," Ryder nodded generously and admitted. "You know, he belongs to the military and is connected to many large companies."

"But I heard that he went to California early." Flipp is not so easy to cheat, and he is not a person who can be scared away by any name. He is in charge of the whole Xihai Street outside.

"You are well informed, Flipp, but he still has family in Youngstown." Ryder's family is Debbie, the daughter of Aunt Rachel and her ex-husband.

Although Uncle Bill hasn't contacted them for a long time, this does not prevent Ryder from pulling up the tiger's skin as a banner.

"You mean... Are these cards from California? Flipp asked uncertainly.

"Uh-huh~" Ryder acquiesced in all this.

California? This is not easy to do. Originally, Flipp wanted to get the way out of the phone card, and then did the business himself. But now it seems that Ryder still has some role.

Flipp stared at the phone card in Ryder's hand thoughtfully, but soon he winked at his men.

"Ryder, do you mind if I check the goods?"

"Of course" Ryder handed the phone card in his hand to Flipp's men.

The black man took the phone card and didn't go far away. He directly started to check the balance with a landline phone in the room.

This prepaid phone card can be used anywhere, whether it is a home phone or a public phone. You just need to dial the call sign of the phone company in advance and then press the card number.

As for Flipp, although he doesn't use landline phones very much, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have this stronghold.

Soon the results came out, and his black men nodded to Flipp.

"Very good, Ryder, let's talk about this business." Flipp is interested in these phone cards.

Of course, he makes money by selling leaves, but he is just a small medicine. There are more bigwigs on him. The commission for selling leaves is not necessarily much higher than the profit of these phone cards.

"How many goods like this do you have?" Flipp has a big appetite.

"So" Ryder raised the $50 phone card in his hand and shook it. "About a hundred, this is just the first batch."

Flipp keenly captured the word "first batch", which seemed to be a long-term business.

"What about the price?"

The "30% off" Ryder's figure is the same as the price of Dean's sold.

Flipp laughed and said, "Ryder, you fucking think I'm a fool? The garbage you sell outside is 30% off, and give me the same amount? Do you believe that I won't let you step into the east of the city in the future?

The rest of the room came around silently when Flipp was angry.

Ryder was panicked, but he could only force himself to calm down.

"Flipp, I'm talking about the regular price. Of course, if you want enough, there will be an extra discount.

"F*ckyou, do you fucking think I just talked to you about a few cards, ah?" Flipp seemed to be humiliated.

"What?" Ryder was stunned. He just seemed to be wrong.

"Hmm" Flipp sneered, and then raised his chin to his subordinates.

Then in Ryder's shocked eyes, a tumble of 100-yuan notes was thrown directly on the table in front of him.

"As long as the goods are guaranteed to be all right, I will eat them all. So..." Flipp put up his arms and stared at him. "I'll give you another chance to make an offer!"

Damn, these scum are so fucking rich!

"50% off!" Ryder gave him the lowest price without hesitation. As long as he could get all these cards, he didn't want to care too much about the price.

"It's almost the same." Flipp was very satisfied with the price, but then he realized that the cost of Ryder's goods was lower than he thought.

Brushing, soon twenty-five hundred-yuan banknotes were placed in front of Ryder.

To be honest, Ryder saw so much money for the first time, not to mention $2,500, it was rare for him to see a big $100 bill.

The most used banknotes in daily life are $5, $10, $20, and he hasn't touched the 100-dollar bill a few times.

Now that the money was in place, Ryder also took out his card directly. When Flipp saw the situation, he didn't talk nonsense and let him go down to inspect the goods.

Although he sells leaves, he is also a businessman. Businessmen pay the most attention to reputation. If they eat black for this little money, it will be too little for him.

Of course, what's more important is that Flipp is optimistic about Ryder's long-term supply potential. If this business can be done for a long time, the profit will be no less than selling leaves.

After a while, after confirming that all the phone cards were fine, Ryder put away 25 100-yuan notes and was ready to go out.

But before he got to the door, the two nigs stopped in front of him.

"Flipp, you fucking want to eat black?" Ryder turned his head angrily and asked.

"Don't get me wrong, Ryder." I don't know when Flipp had a shiny silver dagger in his hand.

"You know, you have to be assured that you have to do our job. So..." Flipp shook his hand with a dagger, and soon a bag of white powder was handed over.

Seeing what was in the transparent plastic bag, Ryder's face changed greatly.

"No! Flipp, don't do this! You know, I've been in poor health recently, so I need to rest for a while.

"Cultivation?" Flipp seemed to hear some big joke. With powder in one hand and a dagger in the other, he spread out his arm and laughed.

"ComeOn! Leaves are the best tonic. There is nothing more effective than it.

"No! "Flipp!" Ryder wanted to retreat, but two Nigs had already held his shoulders.

"Ryder" Flip cut the transparent bag with a dagger, and then dug a little white powder with the tip of the knife and handed it under the tip of his nose. If you suck it, you can leave with the money, and we will do the phone card business together in the future.

"Flipp!" Ryder kept shaking his head, thinking of the month he spent at the Sereneity Club.

The convulsions, vomiting, and the pain of bones being bitten by ants caused by the withdrawal reaction. He absolutely doesn't want to come again.

He knelt in front of his mother Caitlin's grave and vowed never to touch the leaves for the rest of his life. He is about to succeed, and Anna's elder sister said that he was the fastest person to sober up.

However, now...

"Ryder, enjoy them. This is what you used to want."

Flip, who was impatient, directly stuffed the cut bag into Ryder's mouth and rubbed it hard before letting him go.

"Cough! Cough~! Cough!" Ryder knelt on the ground and coughed while clasping his mouth with his fingers.

"Haha~, look at this guy, how many treasures he has wasted." Flipp's proud laughter kept echoing in the room.
