This is a personal experience i had dealing businesses with relatives. My bloodlines.. This episode started with my cousin. His name is Hatman. We as in me & my family calls him now by the name HITMAN! God have a great way in doing His things. Borned with a name of hatman where suits perfectly with HITMAN...hahah...and he successfully lived up to the title.
This hitman wanted to sell his Suzuki Swift 1.5L CBU from Japan. This particular model is on demand. Because it is a CBU(complete built up) from Japan. We Malaysian or better yet...the world trusts and think highly of any products came out from Japan. Malaysian buyers just "spits" of anything assembled, produced, made from malaysia. What not to blame. Majority of malaysian goods are just lousy. But not all OK especially the goods i am selling. hahah...
Yes a local company has obtained a tender/contract with Suzuki Japan to assemble suzuki cars in Malaysia for the asean market. and yes suzuki constantly displaces their engineer/officers to do routine check up on the qualities. But come on...there will be a lot that slips thru them especially when you are dealing with short minded people like malaysian. maaysian just think of profits. fast profits...who to blame when you're thinking of it. malaysia are third world country not suitable at all to compare with countries like europes & united states. low income, low currency rate, greedy people, un-united citizens. Serve them right i would say!! I am changing my statement. The one with power who are to be blamed. Asshole
ok i am far astray from this topic...a topic on hitman...he initally asked my other cousin to try to sell the suzuki. he even asked him to do repairs on the car. my other cousin ...i call him D is a car mechanic with a diploma in automotive. so ok D repaired his car ...quite major repairs i might add. the costs of repairing was paid advanced by D. hitman promised to pay back when the car is sold. fine..D trusted him since we are families. hitman got an interested buyer. his friend wanted to buy with the price of Rm45K. this hitman is a stupid man. easily manipulated and softy with girls. his friend who is a girl borrowed his car on a reason of testing the car. this test drive happened occasionally 2 or 3 times with a week or so for each test drive. what kind of test drive was that. borrowed 3 times for a week/time....lastly hitman came to realised this girl is just playing around..a not serious buyer...which makes us to come into the picture. D was busy being a dedicated mechanic so he didnt have time to search for buyers. D proposed me to handle the deals. hitman agreed and this is the point where i was involved. I was jobless and this was a good job to make extra income. I asked for a commission of Rm1K. hitman agreed....hitman for as long as i known has always OK with everything..agreed with everything...so ok i trusted him. I did not do a black & white agreement. I wanted to do it but did not considering he is family and we had been close for years. Dont want to offend his feelings thinking i do not trust him...
I advertised his car for sale with the price he wanted which was RM50K....His brother , Hasif was with me when all the dealings and price negotitations happened between me and hitman. Me,hasif and D clearly hear that he will pay me & D commissions and wanted the car to be sold with Rm50K...I did not researched of the current market value for this suzuki at that time., so i advertised for Rm50K following hitman's demand...on the next day, i received abundance of calls and SMS from interested buyers. I was like...there are a lot of other suzuki advertised for sale. This is weird....20++ inquiries on this car on 1 day...immmediately i think maybe RM50K is so cheap...me & hasif did a bit of research. I went to banks for car loan and magazines/other sources to buy 2nd hand cars/2nd hand car dealers and asked them the current 2nd car market value for this particular suzuki model. Damn!! no wonder i have been receiving lots of calls...the price should be at least RM53K to a maximum of RM60K.
It would be a stupid act to sell this fine car under Rm50K. Thus i changed the price to 55K. It is a waste since the car has been modified with body kits, sport rims,expensive tires and sports mufflers.
The above are picturs of the car. Isnt it a waste to sell this equipped with RM5K sport rims, Rm15K body kit , RM8K sports mufflers....
Told hitman that i wanted to sell it for 55K. He was reluctant because he wanted to sell the car as soon as possible. with extra 5K, he thinks it would be hard to sell. I insisted and he clearly said that he is satisfied with only Rm50K...fine...i dont care...i want to sell it for 55K...and by right the extra 5K should be mine.
i successfully sold it for the period of only 2weeks after advertised. Quite fast yeah...i did all..ran there and about trying to get the documents and everything related to successfully sell it. Went to bank sevral times, fax there and about, negotiations with the buyer to complete all necessary documents. Hitman all he did was pushing me to get it done pronto!!...
finally after all the hardships, i finally had it done in just 3 weeks. All left was to wait for the process of changing ownership and giving out the cheque of RM55K from the bank to hitman. That fucker just went into silent mode after i told him all is done and just wait for the money. After 2weeks which is the time frame given by the bank...i was getting restless...hitman was hard to reach. My calls was not answered. My SMS was not replied...Immediately something not good is about to happen. I called the new buyer about the cheque. He told me the bank has released the cheque to hitman..WHAT? hitman has got the money but he told me nothing. I called him asking for my money...1K commission plus the 5K of my mark-up price...he resisted. He didnt want to pay me...young boy like me is fine with only Rm300 ....this is so disrespectful and wrong. I demand my money. My share...he insisted that all of the 55K is his...I did not want this issue to be known by my parents....i did not want it to be more complicated but this fucking hitman was being so greedy...D supposely get his money for repairing and for appointing me for selling the car...D was also being cheated...
I have no power with a jobless situation...I had to let my parents know about this together with D's parents...Family war erected. My mom called / complained to other family members...my uncles, hitman's parents...soon it became a very major issue...
hitman tried to manipulate the situation saying the money supposely his since the cars...i asked my uncles who was once a car dealer....by right, the RM5K mark-up price i put are righfully mine!! MINE!!!!....
Hitman manipulated saying he did not asked me to sell his car...i was the one who volunteered. What a retard!! who in perfectly sane mind would do messy jobs of selling cars FOC (free of charge)....Ok if i was not being asked to sell his car..how the hell did i obtaind the pictures of his car? how the hell did i obtained the pink slip of the car and other related documents? how the hell did i got the car key and the car itself to be driven around showing it to potential buyers?
hitman and his wife bashed me up...saying i am a greedy person. saying i am taking advantages on them...
to not dragging the issue longer...i surrendered and accepted his offer of only Rm1700 divided between me and D where supposely me & D must get 5K divided to two. He won the battle but in fact i won the war...what a low IQ person hitman is...for a small amount of money..only 5K, he willing to break family ties....
hitman and his family are now permanently out of our circle of family. to hell with them!! my other uncles and aunties also dispises him. Rm5K are worth more than family bonding....a serious retard!!
people no matter family would be blinded with money. Money is so evil when you put it on highest priority. starting from now, anything on business /money matter should be with black & white agreement even with your own parents.
I take this as a valuable experience. A very valuable experience in facing the world in future.
