Jiang Tao casually picked up a bottle of ice-cold mineral water from the bar, unscrewed the cap, took a big sip, then put down the mineral water and took a deep breath: "I don't know why, many regular customers are...

Didn’t come.”

The process of selling goods in a bar is very secretive.

At Jiang Tao's level, he would not come forward in person at all. If he is marked as character A, the daily goods will pass through his hands and be arranged for company member B, and further down, there will be a lower-level transfer character C.

Finally, it will be passed to the real distribution personnel, that is, Ding.

A doesn't know C, and Ding doesn't know B. As a high-ranking person, Jiang Tao, from the bottom of Ding's eyes, his public identity is the bar manager. When Ding gets goods from C, he is always outside the bar.

Local transactions only come in when there is something to sell. After all, this is the real market.

Even if there is a problem in one of the intermediate links, the police have no evidence to arrest all the goods delivery links at all levels. It is very simple to inform the information, just make a phone call. The company has a detailed and strict execution process, and the delivery person in the previous link is aware of it.

If something goes wrong, they run away immediately. In addition, they usually use pseudonyms, so even if the lower-level distributors report it, it will be useless.

Take Jiang Tao as an example. He has two names outside, namely Wang Heng and Ouyang Zhennan.

There are also three nicknames, namely Xiong Ge, Huang Dayan, and Orange. The reason why they are given such nicknames is that they have the word "yellow" in common. Jiang Tao has a large yellow spot from his left ear to the lower side of his cheek.

Scars left by early fights. Generally speaking, scars will turn red, black, or white, but rarely turn yellow.

The reason why he is called "Brother Xiong" is because of the realgar color; the big yellow eyes are a joke; oranges are similar.

Except for Hong Zongyuan, Zheng Qiang, Hu Pingtao, and other core figures in the company, no other employees knew Jiang Tao's real name.

Hu Pingtao now also has two names and three nicknames.

This method does not work for Hong Zongyuan. He has been in this business for too long, and many people know his name and nickname. Adding disguise will arouse suspicion and be counterproductive.

Human beings are becoming more and more intelligent in the process of evolution.

Drug trafficking is the same. It is a life and death battle, where you and the police compete with each other to improve their abilities.

Hu Pingtao frowned slightly: "Recently, the situation has been tense. Let the people below be smarter and sell whatever they can. Only old customers will be sold. Newcomers will not be considered for the time being."

Jiang Tao said "Yeah", nodded, turned around and left with the mineral water.

Anyone who sees this scene will feel that Hu Pingtao's status and authority are superior to Jiang Tao's.

In fact this is not the case at all.

In the company, Jiang Tao has a higher position than Hu Pingtao.

The reason for this ambiguous situation was arranged by Hong Zongyuan.

He knows that the "Gravity" bar cannot be hidden under the water forever. Whether it attracts the attention of the police or is seized, it will be a matter of time. Therefore, in terms of personnel arrangements, the bar is divided into "external" and "internal"

Two modes.

In the past, Zheng Biao was in charge of the external affairs. This guy was selected because he had a tough and rugged appearance and could hold his own. Now Zheng Biao was assigned to Moxi, and the external work was handed over to Hu Pingtao.

He is young and has excellent bartending skills. Once he stops at the bar, he is the benchmark for the entire bar. Moreover, Hu Pingtao is good-looking and handsome, and is very popular among female customers.

This is not nonsense. Since the new guy Hu Pingtao was added to the bar, many women have become interested in him. There are young girls and drunken women. For them, wine is just an ordinary medium, high-end.

The cocktails cost hundreds of yuan a cup, and they can drink three to five glasses in one night. Sometimes when they are happy, they spend money on champagne, which costs 6,880 yuan, 8,888 yuan, or even tens of thousands yuan a bottle.

With Hu Pingtao "attracting firepower" from the front, Jiang Tao, the real supervisor, can operate from behind the scenes.

Hong Zongyuan is not a fool - although Jiang Tao is not as capable as Hu Pingtao, he is an old man who has followed him for many years. At least there is no problem with his loyalty. Although he wants to promote "A Heng", he must go through the "test" process.

This process of "exercise". Going to Songcheng to collect accounts is just a small task, and there will be more similar things in the future.

Both Hu Pingtao and Jiang Tao are only familiar with the jobs within their scope of power. This is a decentralized situation deliberately created by Hong Zongyuan. Only by letting the people below to work hard for power, even desperately, can they bring more benefits to themselves.

.

Lurking is an extremely dangerous task.

The day before yesterday, Hu Pingtao uploaded a piece of information. The main content was about the regulars of the "Gravity" bar.

Please note that these are not customers who come here to buy wine and entertain themselves, but "fans".

Zheng Qiang, Jiang Tao, and Hong Zongyuan are already under control, and the results of their arrests are limited. According to the requirements of the task force, the focus is to dig deep into the drug transportation channels and the location of the ice production workshop, as well as the missing persons smuggled from abroad.

To sum up, the prevention and control of drugs can only start from the end, that is, the demand groups.

Li Shengbin and Cao Yong have been busy these days and arrested more than 200 people in one go, all of whom were drug addicts.

This is only a third of what Hu Ping Tao offers on the list.

There are other bars and clubs under Hong Zongyuan's name, and there are "guests" there, but they are beyond Hu Pingtao's normal authority and cannot obtain more information.

Under normal circumstances, in the drug trafficking process of A, B, C and D, most people can only catch "C" and "Ding". Although Hu Pingtao provided a lot of information, in order not to alert the snake, Cao Yong only ordered the arrest of "Ding" and pretended not to.

Being able to grasp the clues, he did not touch "C" any further.

Jiang Tao's shipment volume suddenly shrank, which is also normal.

This kind of change happens often. On the surface, it means a new round of crackdowns and comprehensive rectification of the city. After all, street offices and communities have strict population management in their jurisdictions, and it is difficult for drug addicts to hide in such an environment.

Identity. We arrest both the top and bottom. The task force takes care of the source of drugs. The police station checks the drug addicts within its jurisdiction. If one is found, they will control them and send them to a drug rehabilitation center for strict management.

Without customers, goods become garbage.

It was already after nine o'clock in the evening, when the bar was busy.

Hu Pingtao stood in the center of the bar, mixing the drinks with skillful movements and accurately delivering them to the guests.

A young man also wearing a black and white reception uniform stood nearby, watching with envy as he opened wine bottles one by one and poured the base wine into the goblet.

"Brother Heng, you are so awesome. Who did you learn this bartending technique from?"

His name is Liu Shuyu, nicknamed "Taro", and he is also from the company, but his qualifications are far less senior than those of Zheng Qiang and Jiang Tao, and he belongs to the periphery.

Hu Pingtao glanced at him and replied with a smile: "Have you heard of Lanxiang Technical School?"

Taro rolled his eyes: "Please stop making trouble, do you think I don't know anything? Lanxiang teaches excavators, what does it have to do with bartending?"

Hu Pingtao maintained a comfortable and modest smile: "Bartender is a profession, and many schools offer this course. You only need to search online to find out."

Taro stretched out his arms and yawned amidst the loud music. He leaned close to Hu Pingtao's ear and said disdainfully: "I just don't want to go to school so I ran out to work. Brother Heng, please teach me how to do it."

Make the bar!"

Although he entered the company earlier than Hu Pingtao, he had little ability and stayed in the bar, selling wine and fans on the side.

Liu Shuyu has a particularly honest side. He knows that it is difficult for him to have room for advancement, and if he is addicted to drugs, he will never see the sun. He has a clear understanding of his position and keeps his posture very low, no matter who he meets.

They all call him "brother" respectfully.

"Okay!" Hu Pingtao smiled and moved the goblet containing the base wine towards Liu Shuyu. He suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked: "Taro, I usually don't avoid you when I'm mixing wine.

Ah! You should have seen some basic processes."

Liu Shuyu scratched the back of his head a few times in embarrassment: "You just came here a few days ago, and I couldn't figure out your details. I thought you were just like everyone else, just coming here to work part-time, working casually for a while and then leaving. I didn't expect that Mr. Hong would let me

If you are a supervisor or a bartender, you have to be obedient even in front of Brother Tao. So...hehehehehe..."

He spoke frankly. He did mean to look down on Hu Pingtao before, but it changed later.

"Haha, Taro, you are thinking too much." Hu Pingtao reached out and grabbed Liu Shuyu's arm, pulled him closer, lowered his voice and said seriously: "Brother Hong values ​​you very much, otherwise he wouldn't let you stay at the bar. In fact,

No matter what line of work you are in, it is the same. Talk less and do more, and you will be the new supervisor in a few years."

As a latent agent, it is the principle to make more friends and less evil.

Liu Shuyu's young face was filled with excitement: "Really?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and pulled him to the counter, gave up his seat, picked up the glass measuring cup and handed it over: "Don't you want to learn how to mix wine? Come on, I said, you mix and pour the wine according to the proportion."

A mojito is freshly baked in no time.

After inserting the accessories and handing them to the guests, Liu Shuyu couldn't help but feel elated. He said to Hu Pingtao enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, let's continue."

After teaching him how to make four drinks in a row, Hu Pingtao took advantage of the absence of customers to ask for wine, pretending to be emotional, and sighed softly: "The economy is in a recession, and it's the same in every profession. It's getting harder and harder to do business."

Liu Shuyu glanced at him, and naturally connected it with Jiang Tao's payment, and said with a low smile: "Brother Heng, this is normal, not strange."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"

"When Brother Zheng was here in the past, the company would provide some goods to feed the fish for free every month." Liu Shuyu leaned into his ear and explained in a low voice: "There has been a lot of trouble recently, and Brother Zheng has also left. The goods are for sale."

If it’s too little, you won’t be able to make money.”

Hu Pingtao asked in confusion: "Feed the fish? What kind of fish?"

Liu Shuyu touched him with his shoulder and raised his hand to point to the people in the distant hall who were dancing crazily to the dynamic music: "They are all fish. As long as they have not received any powder, they are all included."

Hu Pingtao understood immediately: "You mean a free trial?"

Liu Shuyu nodded, and immediately showed an experienced expression on his face: "No matter which company, it must expand its customer base. Brother Zheng has a group of people who are responsible for this. They find people in various places to strike up conversations with, and after they get familiar with each other,

Just treat the guests to drinks, and when they get high, they start handing out cigarettes. Once you smoke two, you won’t be able to throw them away again.”

Hu Pingtao's eyes flickered: "I can't tell! Brother Hong is quite generous. But if this happens, the company's expenses will be too high."

"It's like this when it comes to sales. You can't let go of your children." Taro shrugged: "Besides, as long as the customers smoke it once, they will take the initiative to come and buy it in the future. Hehehehehe, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

, you can smoke once for free, and you will have to spend money to smoke for the rest of your life."

He was very proud that the music drowned out the conversation and the guests nearby could not hear it at all. Liu Shuyu talked and danced while mixing drinks.
