Scavenging Success
Acts 15: Laksa (Part 4)

"Because this business is the most profitable," replied Kai simply.

"What kind of underground business do you want to work on?" ask Yono back.

"What fields do you usually work in?"

"In addition to the gambling investments I made with you. I've been working on security and order."

"Continue. And try to develop by venturing into other businesses."

"Including Drugs?" Yono has always been interested in doing drugs business. But he realized that this business would destroy a generation. He did not want to destroy generations in his own country. Even if you want to do drugs business, Yono wants to sell it abroad.

"Drugs are good business. But still not the best" replied Kai.

"You mean?" Yono did not understand the meaning of Kai.

"The drug market is already controlled by the Sinaloa Cartel. Sixty percent of all drug trafficking around the world is under their control" Kai replies, revealing what he learned from Grandpa Arya.

"Yes. I know the Sinaloa Cartel," Yono replied instantly.

Although this conversation will not be understood by Udin and Kika. But Kai continued on his way.

"And you know... Of the largest cartel in the world. What order do they belong to?"

Everyone who was there was silent could not answer.

"To eight. Of the seven other cartels that are on top of them, only Ndrangheta has made Drugs a mainstream business?"

"Ndrangheta?" udin whispers. He had just heard the name Kai mentioned just now.

"Newly horrified?" asked Kai felt natural.

"Yes" Udin answered honestly.

"They are based in Calabria, Italy. And when Ndrangheta could be above Sinaloa in terms of income. That means there's logic in reverse, right? The ruler of the world's largest drug market, still loses his income with another drug cartel that controls a smaller market."

"Can't you?" it was Kika's turn who had no idea about the world of the Cartel, became interested in the various trivia told by Kai.

"It happened because the Italian Mafia is also working on other fields and not just relying on drugs."

"That means that the sixth and the next are also not playing drugs?" ask Kika back.

"Yes main... But not the main one."

"If you may know, the sixth largest cartel in the world is anything?" ask Udin. Although he was sure that he would not memorize. But this conversation was quite interesting for Udin.

"There's a Yamaguchi-Gumi in sixth."

"Yakuza?" ask Kika.

"I know them. One of their associates also runs a business in Indonesia" explained Yono.

"Businesses all over the world. Only the scale is different" Kai confirmed.

"What makes them great?" ask Udin.

"Yes I just said. They were very superior because they had thousands of other families as their associates."

"So that's why you want to make us your Associates?" ask Yono critically.

"Yes. I inspired them," Kai replied honestly.

"Who else is there?" ask Kika back.

"Solntsevskaya Bratva."

"Where are they? His name is weird," Udin was honest.

"Russia."

"Oh... Pantes is hard... Then?" ask Udin back. Udin often heard the term Russian Mafia. But Udin just heard their names now.

"D-Company."

"The name is like a Korean company that produces boybands" said Kika.

"Yes. Their names are eccentric. But they are not a random group. They are Indian Cartels. They're the ones who control all the dirty business in India" Kai explained later.

"Him India has a cartel?" Udin wondered. As Udin knows, India has Bollywood and not the Cartel.

"There's... Their leader's name is Dawood Ibrahim. He's the number three most wanted man by the CIA right now."

"What business are they in to the extent that their leaders are so sought after by the CIA?"

"The beginning of opium. Now arms trade. The CIA is looking for him because the world's top organizations buy weapons through D-Company."

"Want to.." whispered Yono.

"Next is La Cosa Nostra," Kai continued.

"Feelings ever heard?" ask Kika who somehow often heard this name even though she does not rule the criminal world.

"Oh yes! Like the Godfather movie that the Great Juragan often watched!" Kika suddenly remembered.

"That's fine. La Cosa Nostra is the Mafia that inspired the movie Godfather. It was founded in Sicily, Italy in 1800. They now have more than a quarter of a million affiliates. With an annual income of 50 billion dollars."

"Wow... The famous mobster was only third. Who's second?" ask Udin curiously.

"Gulf's Cartel."

"Newly heard too," sambar Udin quickly.

"The oldest surviving criminal organization in Mexico to date."

"Then the first one?" Yono was curious about the name of the Cartel with the largest income in the world.

"Triad."

"China?" Yono asked while massaging his chin.

"Yes. They concentrated their group in Hong Kong, Macau, China."

"They're the biggest earners?" Yono confirmed half in disbelief.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Can't you?" tanya Yono was curious.

"Because their main business is or human trafficking."

"Correctly," Kika understood if considering that humans are the most expensive commodity in the world today.

"So... What main business areas should we work on?" ask Yono.

"Anything other than drugs."

"Why did you choose me to do this? Aren't you able to run this with your own hands?"

"I don't want to be like the Madelin Cartel" Kai replied to Yono.

"Pablo Escobar?"

"Yes. Once earning 480 million dollars a week, Pablo Escobar should now be the world's largest cartel. But unfortunately he had to be crushed by one mistake."

"What's that?"

"Trust Issues. Escobar decides everything himself. So that he has absolutely no successor to his cartel. Unlike the Cartels I mentioned just now."

"I want you to be my brain in a dark world. I want to believe everything in you" Kai closed.

"Alright I agree," Yono nodded excitedly.

"Then Udin."

"Yes?!" Udin was stunned when his name was mentioned.

"You are the leader of the Light Laksa."

"What is Kai?"

"You will be entrusted with the creation of various financial institutions."

"You mean I'm asking you to make a bank?"

"One of them. But I want you to start small first. Start with the Cooperative. That way you can learn first," Kai explained to Yono.

"So later as a Bank, I will be modelling Yono dong?" Udin snobbish. When else would he have the chance to stand higher than Yono.

"Necessary. Yono I will give you the capital directly," Kai denied.

"Then? Who do I need to lend to?"

"Starting from Micro Enterprises, then Big Companies. Highest target..."

Kai paused his sentence until it made them all speechless.

"Can capitalize a country."

"Like Rockefeller?" Udin responded. Kai was quite surprised to hear Udin know about Rockefeller.

"really so. My biggest target is to pay a debt to a country. Then rule the country completely."

"Rockenfeller can be this big after doing it for generations" complained Yono objected to the target given by Kai.

"Yes... Make a descent," Kai said casually.

"Homperage?" Udin had just realized that having offspring was this important.
