Chapter 19. Betrayal
Despite the fact that the decision to move to Samara was adopted, the fees took almost a month. Not so easy to relocate with a child and a ton of things - it turns out, there are hundreds of items that can not be purchased on the spot and it is imperative to take with you. In the end, I was busy the hassle of moving and ceased to delve deeply into the way business is conducted in the hope that all will cope without me. And when so much depart from business - expect trouble.
first bell rang, when the forum is one of the adverts unsubscribed, that his client had filed a complaint about non-delivery of goods. I rerouted the complaint, Vladimir, and he is very surprised, and promised to re-send. But after a while such complaints has increased. And even monitor the work of the service only at night, I could not ignore them. Phones conversation with Vladimir was short - he expressed his surprise and promised to investigate.
However, complaints continued and went bad uproar among webmasters. And nothing is more valued among webmasters as reputation. Lose their earned great difficulty, I did not want. Nevertheless, the sale of something going, the money accrued - Worry at first glance there was nothing. 20 November, it was about. This date is deep in my memory, because it dramatically launched my business and actually threw him to the ground. On this day has not come the next tranche of Vladimir.
I called, he picked up the phone for a long time apologized and promised to send tomorrow. Setting up, I realized that money will not be. And the gadget will not. Everything. End. I sat in a chair and a few minutes in silence played a mobile phone before the phone to find Anton and report that business is finished. But he was unavailable. I dialed the phone our secretary.
- Valya! Where is Anton? He told me urgently needed.
- How do you know? He is on your behalf on a business trip.
- Where, where? - To my surprise there was no limit. But then the thought occurred that it was necessary to urgently check. - Valya, and where he go?
- I do not know Anton is not reported.
- Valya, you go into his office and sit at the computer. So, now enter the password: in the Latin layout Russian word "gadget" ...
- came.
- Ok, now download the browser. There is a menu button "History." Please, read to me, what sort of sites.
the words of Wali, I quickly found what I was interested. Anton went to the site of Singapore Airlines. Unfortunately, I do not know dates, but my head would have given to the cut-off that my deputy now was somewhere in the sky. And most likely, he flew in the opposite direction, have already agreed on everything with Vladimir. Again I got the phone your provider.
- Hello again. And when you are planning to do? Or someone suggested?
- are you talking about?
- Anton was with you in Singapore and put two and two, I still can. I decided to roll it out as I Paul?
- I do not understand.
- You see, I'm your Antosha easily planted a few years. Why do not you talk to me honestly?
was a long pause. Then the tone with uncomprehending abruptly changed to such a familiar business.
- You're almost retired. Your child, the family - apparently, it is important to you. But business can not wait. He needs to grow. Anton suggested good ways and directions. From you I could not get it ever. Even with the opening of the distribution center you are pulling. I did not want You throw out of business, but you himself deprived places in the company.
- Ah! So Anton you all suggested!
- Yes, he said.
- What online store? Affiliate? It Anton you do not do it!
- This is a penny, do not misunderstand me. Turnover of several hundred thousand dollars does not make me a little weather. So it is quite sensible sacrifice on the altar of brick and mortar sales.
- You know what it's called? It is currently kidalovo! I now have hundreds of webmasters thousands of dollars, which I do not have, because you they are not translated. Now I will have to go all over the world due to the fact that you decided to expand into offline.
- It's business, Eugene. You just can not stand race. I am genuinely sorry for you, but to solve your personal problems, I do not want - Vladimir hung up.
I typed it again. He folded. And once again dropped. And then, apparently, turned off the sound. I stopped dialing his number. Yeah, maybe I lost a business, but I could still do a few things that would greatly complicate their lives.
At first I froze payments to the affiliate. On my account there are about thirty thousand dollars. Not so much, and far fewer than I had to webmasters. But if you save, first themselves. I threw the money into another purse, and then brought several translations of several of their cards.
Around this time, I received a call from Samara and Val reported that Anton has just landed at Domodedovo. Realizing that the bill has already gone on the clock, I naplel Vale complex history of lies and truth, which resulted Anton became the last dregs. Valya was my man - I hired her in person, unlike many of the staff. She believed me.
With Wali Wasi and his uncle, who had also connected, I managed to freeze the work of the office: turn off all phones and dissolve employees. It only remained to merge the fund balance from the account - that I could only do in person, the client-bank, we have not delivered, and spend a few meetings with key buyers. I realized that I had nothing to offer them, but ruin the work of Anton I could: for example, allude to check on the grayness of the supplied goods. That such a threat to beat especially at myself - at that moment I did not realize.
- I need urgently to Samara - I told Oksana.
- I'm with you.
- Yes I am on business - I have not turned the language to say that business is no longer and as more and to live on, I can not even imagine.
- You're always on business and alone. Maybe you're there lyubovitsu started?
- What do you mean? I really need, and urgently.
- Okay, I just Masha gather.
- Masha, why?
- And to whom I leave her?
- both to stay, I already have to go, can not wait.
- Ten minute wait. I'm fast.
- To hell with you, just quickly.
Half an hour later we all went down to a parked car. Masha suddenly burst into tears. I had to reassure her. I began to feel irritated. Time passed. In my estimation, three hours later Anton had to sit on a plane to Samara, then about two hours in the air, even half an hour on it, to get to the center. As time went on even on the clock - in minutes.
- Hurry!
- Yes, everything is, we sit down - snapped Oksana.
We finally hit the road. Since the conversation has not been set, none of us, I turned on the radio. Masha, I saw in the mirror and dozed off.
- The sea! - Suddenly, unexpectedly I asked.
- What?
- You do not regret that we are together?
- What sort of speech, Comrade Eugene?
- Sometimes I think I am stupid. And what happened to me hard.
- Yes, you're stupid. And you sometimes reckless. And since you hard. But I love you. And it makes these little things take just a part of your character.
- Excellent, - Vydohul me. Suddenly became easier.
- Something is wrong?
- ... Yes. You could say.
- How else can I say?
- Ksyusha may soon have much pull. In Samara we do not move. Think I just lost my business.
- Why should we then go?
- We have to do several things before it's over.
- Oh well. I never liked the idea of \u200b\u200bmoving to Samara. Big cities scare me.
- But there are more opportunities!
- I'm for peace. Look at yourself - in your face no because of your business.
- I guess you're right.
Oksana leaned toward me and kissed me on the lips.
- little fool! I also do not see the road! - I cried.
- I love you - proshetala She smiled.
We again fell silent. I turned on the radio. Oksana dozed off. I drove and thought about what I donkey that does not prepare the base for the retreat. After all, I could easily with the money to deploy a couple of companions and a small cut coupons for old age. Or run some startups that have made I have a public and popular figure, and thus give access to the money investors, not thievish such as Vladimir. Heck, I could do so much and once again missed moment.
I do not quite understand why I was going. What I would give this trip? Suddenly, everything seemed so petty, so vain. Those thirty thousand would have quite sufficed for deployment of a small business in his hometown. But now with new force broke revenge. And I pressed the gas pedal. From the growling motor woke Masha and burst into tears. Oksana woke up and looked at her daughter.
- Now, Masha, now. Hungry, I suppose.
Oksana undid the belt and reached for Masha. At this point, she blocked my view, and when she moved, our car jumped the hill and I saw a flying to a meeting aboard the truck.
Then I like in slow motion looked like crushed the front of the Audi on my part. I heard the scrape of crushed metal, such as with a dull ringing burst frontal glass. Here wild pain pierced my feet and then the body. I lost consciousness.
opened my eyes, I saw a white ceiling. How? I was in the car. Suddenly I realized I could not move. Or not, I can, but only the tips of the fingers. I tried to utter a word, but turned out only to groan. Nobody came. I tripped again.
I opened my eyes to the fact that someone was shaking my shoulder. Some unknown man in a white robe. Doctor? Or visitor?
- Eugene? Can you hear me?
- Yes - barely Heard "I replied.
- Eugene, how do you feel?
- Bad.
- kidding? That's good. You have a severe trauma: open fractures of both legs and compression fracture spine. We conducted two operations, now just rest and hospital treatment.
- What Oksana?
- Your wife? With it, everything is in order. It was a miracle that she is alive and well. Flew through the window and landed in a roadside ditch. Slight concussion, but she is healthy.
- Where is she?
- I do not know. If necessary, I ask her to search her.
- I long to be treated?
- Who knows, such fractures - a thing difficult. Soak mesyatsok, then walk around on crutches or in wheelchairs - it will be clear how the spine behave. Then, if everything is optimal, some months after nine to ten try to start walking. Later rehabilitation, re-examination - but that is business equipment.
- Sunny.
- A long rest, I'll go - the doctor hurried to the door of the ward.
- Doctor!
- What?
- Masha, my daughter?
doctor froze.
- Unfortunately, here we are powerless. Your daughter died before the arrival of the doctors. I'm sorry, please accept my condolences.
door slammed shut. I again lost consciousness.
