gazing at the clouds at the bottom of the airplane, I thought on its course of action. Oksana cute dozing, her head on my shoulder, so that I could not move and the sketch plan is not as usual - in a notebook on the sheet Excel, and in my head.
way home for Vladimir slammed more than a year ago. Long. A year earlier, he hired a young and promising lad twenty-three years from Russia on the recommendation of friends. The guy was indeed an active and sharpness - in six months he was doing the lion's share of work Vladimir, allowing the first to focus on expanding sales. Paul, the so-called young man who has been in contact with all the facilities that worked with the company, Vladimir - that he introduced him to every Chinese director, willing to work a bit to the left.
Six months later, Vladimir began to try to form Permit for Paul - he was so good that it was worth to keep a closer for faster contact with each other. Finally, in front of Vladimir dawned opportunity to relax a bit after ratnyh works. So once in a nice sunny day, he suggested to Paul, minority partnership and Chief Executive Director. Paul gladly accepted his offer and asked to leave - to please their parents. From vacation, he did not return. Sent by SMS, that in connection with problems the family is forced to resign and stay in Russia.
What was surprising, Vladimir, when he received information from a number of customers that they now there is a cheaper supplier. Moreover, its product suddenly appeared in Russia - Vladimir personally saw him in Moscow on the counter of a shop. Actually, the market in Russia are not much interested in Vladimir, but encroachment on their old partners, he took as a personal affront and began searching for the causes of failures.
Little by little snippets of various information and rumors he went to a company registered in Cyprus. Paying a big bribe unscrupulous lawyer, offshore, Vladimir received the statutes, where he saw among the founders of an old acquaintance. Paul was clearly caught in violation of business ethics and industrial espionage. Of course, sue Vladimir could not, so he tried to put pressure on the first of Paul, who refused to communicate with him. Therefore, Vladimir turned to their suppliers. But the Chinese have suddenly forgotten the English - it was still anyone left to deliver the goods, but would take longer.
Short of dumping War ended in unconditional victory of Vladimir - the buyers were returned to the bosom of the old firm, but it was worth a quarter of profits or a few tens of millions of dollars a year. The Russian market was left for Paul. Vladimir with all his characteristic energy rushed back for the final victory over rival and quickly got on his hands. Moreover, it hardly took away his legs.
first consignment safely reached the stores and quickly sold on to customers. But the second was delayed by another route. Vladimir done foolishly flew personally to solve problems - goods shipped legally, is no reason to doubt its origin the papers were not. But the law and reality - are two different things. Vladimir arrested, detained for three days in the monkey, and only released under pressure from the Embassy Сингапура, гражданином которого он, слава Богу, стал за пять лет до указанных событий. На прощание Владимир получил ясный сигнал не возвращаться. И он не стал возвращаться, сосредоточившись, как и ранее, на западных заказах. Но месть не умерла, она тлела в его сердце долгий год. Пока не появился я.
Хотел ли я встревать these disassembly? Probably not, if I could think of. But I've only seen the numbers. But Paul seemed to me on a virtual habit of some distant and obscure figure who unlikely to cause harm. Especially because no one asked me to kill Paul. I had to remove it from the market. Any convenient way to me. And what a way to seemed convenient? Of course, the destruction of reputation. And there ought to think about how to do better.
Once home, I opened the activity to create affiliate program, it was supposed to be the best and unique program for the sale of electronics, so I spent more than a thousand dollars just to design primary site and about three thousand on patterns of partner stores. A lot more money spent on the engine. Money is melting before our eyes, and I have not earned a single ruble on the sale of at least one gadget.
At the same time I collected information about the firm of Paul. The firm itself was not, was an unknown supplier, which brought and distributed on a number of distribution centers containers with equipment from China. On money and Vladimir on his behalf, I hired a private detective who tracked down the whereabouts of Cumulative skladal and location of Paul himself - he was not hiding, leading immodest life in Moscow. Expensive car spree in the clubs, a good apartment in a decent area. I looked at the photos sent by detectives, and understood that there is nothing to spoil, because no reputation for Paul was not - the usual small wheeler-dealer, which spreads counterfeit junk shop and gets a good margin from each order, then burn it in the clubs with prostitutes.
I did not have and exit on any bodies. There was no dating in high places, where untouched by death. To do something, I had a weak spot Paul is so weak that I could anonymously find people interested in the destruction of his business. But it does not destroy create your own.
Affiliate start up in the spring of 2009. Proplachennye topic on the forums, proplachennye reviews on blogs and recommendations of the leading gurus have done their work - only for the first month I typed more than a thousand active partner and received the first thousand sales. In the money it was even less than a year ago for sms, but it was a good start. I again flew to Singapore - Oksana already noticeable District and stayed at home - we Vladimir celebrated the beginning of our activity.
Upon returning I was waiting for a gift to have become almost family detective: first, Paul was caught on drug use - photo uniquely fixed, as he sniffs the track in a sort of club. And secondly, it was possible to find those to whom he could cross the road.
complex plan, to which I had hoped, is that there is another larger company, having contracts with all the interesting trademarks that are illegal import of Paul. I did not need soft-bodied representation, which would have tried to address the issue through the bodies by writing statements. I needed the evil and experienced Russian businessmen in the law, which would not have liked that someone milks their cows. It turned out that the evil and not complicit in the scheme of Paul is very difficult - one way or another in the supply chain was provided to one thing or another firm, preferring dilute the official product counterfeiting - why not, if the price is better, but the quality is the same.
competitor showed up in unexpected places - in the bodies. Unusual formation of a group of officers konfiskatnogo warehouse and several companies, designed to relatives of officials, great and long enough haggling large quantities of goods seized under false cases. And so the boys did not need the competition. They and representatives were not needed.
Preparation of the package took a long time. I did not want me out at least someone. Therefore, the envelope containing the documents for the supply got to fit me people by challenging the bases, when leaders from konfiskatnoy took office declaring dealing with customs clearance for Paul. Three days later, a cumulative depot was surrounded by riot police and described. When they searched the office of Paul found a few amateur photos, which he sniffs the powder. This is apparently stunned mighty support the enemy of Vladimir so that the result does not even have to exert pressure. Paul boomed in jail. Business it laid in the blink of an eye, as contacts were personal, and things he was alone, afraid of competition.
remains to clean up their contacts. I threw Simcoe, through which called up to the detectives - Framed it was generally unknown to anyone, I bought the phone from some drug addict at the station in Moscow. Removed free soap from which corresponded, first prescribing it for all the spam database, which he knew. And destroy all references to your computer - just reinstall it to the dogs. All these months were for I have a nightmare of detective films. So that any security measures did not seem to me excessive.
Parnerka also continued to grow. I managed to attract several large generators of traffic - the holders of large dorveynyh and spam networks. Sales have increased by leaps and bounds. Vladimir moved to pay I pay once a week, resulting in reduced Hold to the universal joy of webmasters. What could be nicer for a man than the payment immediately after the big sale! There were natural responses. I ran a contest for refovodov attracting new partners. There are new opportunities for more rapid deployment and quality shops.
confused only one thing - I desperately wanted to open sales to Russia, and Vladimir insisted on this, Wishing to capture the market cleared. I never told him about konfiskatnoy firm utopia of Pavel. Step on the same rake, oh, how does not like. Sooner or later, I felt that I fall into the same pit and is unlikely to get out of it. And in my dreams at that time I often was Paul, who was in my life I have never seen except on the photo. Paul threatened me with his finger and promised revenge if I climb on its territory.
By the end of June, I passed on the law and bought a car - audi r8. The car was a used, but it said nothing on its equipment, nor on the form - only on price. I paid half of myself half against future profits credited to me, Vladimir. Oksana in the car was placed with difficulty, but she was very impressed by the ride on the only such car in the area. On the Audi and I took her to the hospital where she gave birth to a daughter, which We called Masha.
begins a completely new life, I began to think about the big house and a different scale of business. The proposal of Vladimir, which is not cooled in its desire to subjugate Russia, it began to seem more attractive.
