He was running up to Vancouver, British Columbia.

Well, the guys on the British Columbia end purchasing the product were Chinese, the 14K faction in Vancouver.

So he ends up discussing the matter, because I explained to him my problem, like, man, this is screwed, and we can't get this stuff made.

And so, you know, back then I'm making cassette recordings of the albums for all my buddies.

And they're like all trying to get their hands on, you know, we didn't have the ability to burn CDs.

Right.

That was five years later, you know.

And so he starts talking to the Chinese guys up in British Vancouver.

Well, the guys in Vancouver, this is the essence of Guanxi, one of them calls a 14K operative in Toronto.

Well, the 14K in Toronto do a lot of business with the Italian Mafia.

Well, one of the 14K guys in Toronto talks to an Italian mob guy in Toronto.

The Toronto mob guy calls a guy in Italy.

Says, yeah, sure, we can get this done.

And they're not going to report it to the FBI.

So all of a sudden, we were able to now develop a capacity.

That's why if you look at all these albums right here, it says right here across the bottom, made in Italy.

But they were all produced in Italy because the Italians weren't going to pick up the phone and call the FBI.

And so now you had the ability to get the CDs manufactured on the one hand, but now we had a second problem.

How are we going to get the money to Italy?

So my buddy from Vegas discusses the matter with the guys in Vancouver.
