Hearing Chen Taizhong's words, the middleman didn't mind much. He had already heard from Gou Lianbiao and Ma Kuai that this person was responsible for the transportation of private cars. It's strange that the owner who dares to transport private cars on such a large scale can do it easily.
.
The bill was indeed not small. Gou Lianbiao and Ma Kuai actually bought eighty private cars of various colors at once, and the cost was negotiated, which was more than 4.7 million yuan.
The barges used for smuggling are of large tonnage, let alone 80 vehicles, even 800 vehicles are just drizzle. However, Dog-faced Biao and Ma Kuangbiao are novices. If they want to order more goods, others are not willing to give it.
After all, this middleman was introduced by someone. He knew a little bit about Gou Lian Biao's reputation and checked the payment for the goods they carried before agreeing to trade eighty cars at a time. This kind of order can be regarded as a super deal here.
Big order.
Many people handle far more private cars than 80 cars. However, they buy them in batches. In this way, the risk of the transaction can be reduced to an acceptable range, and no matter what, they buy it in batches.
Anyway, transportation is a big problem. There are really not many people who dare to be as foody as Madman Ma and Gou Lianbiao.
"Is the delivery location here?" Chen Taizhong was quite dissatisfied with this place. Damn it, in front of so many people, how do you expect me to stuff the car into the Sumeru Ring?
"Didn't I tell you two? Find a place where no one is around!"
"Akuan said, this is just a place for unloading goods," Madman Ma explained tremblingly, "The goods will be transported to a relatively private place by then."
Smuggling is like this. Don't say that Gou Lianbiao and Ma Kuai are just acquaintances, even if they are acquaintances. If it involves a large-scale transaction, there is no reason for both parties not to be wary of their partners. If there is a loophole, there will be no lawsuit.
The place.
Ah Kuan is the middleman, but people who trade with him usually call him "Brother Kuan", but Dog Face Biao calls him Ah Kuan. In Dog Face Biao's eyes, no one in the world is worthy of him.
Call me brother—except, of course, Chen Taizhong.
Therefore, Kuan was quite unhappy when Madman Ma called him that, but since he was a big customer, he couldn't help but be picky.
Hearing this, Ah Kuan nodded, "That's right, I'm just bringing you all to take a look. It will take some time for our ship to arrive, and this is the only place where the excitement is. So I'll take you around here."
In fact, many times, smuggled cars are traded nearby, especially small orders of four or five cars, which everyone looks down upon, and those small buyers also feel that it is safer to trade in such a crowded place.
.
Since it is a big order, the buyer is certainly qualified to choose the trading venue. It is precisely because Gou Lianbiao and Ma Kuan don't mind how remote the place of delivery is. Brother Kuan tolerates them calling him "A Kuan" - obviously, the other party
He is not afraid of being tricked by others, and it is normal to call him "Xiao Kuan" for a person with hands and eyes like the sky.
After getting out of the car, the group of people approached the pier while chatting and laughing. Several groups of people came over to ask where they were coming from. However, Kuan casually said, "This is a big customer of mine," and no one paid any attention to him.
Already.
Obviously, this guy is quite well-fed in the local area.
When we were about a kilometer away from the pier, we could no longer walk. A blockade was set up in front of us, and a few strong young men were milling around there, carrying rubber sticks in their hands and bulging bags around their waists.
"Just take a look here," Ah Kuan reminded them, "the rules here are like this. People like you are not allowed to go to the dock. There are some special taboos for those who make a living at sea."
There may be special taboos at sea, but the main reason is to keep it secret. Everyone knows this, and they guessed it because of the strict atmosphere here. No one is stupid.
My brother is an honored guest, so Chen Taizhong was a little unhappy, "Who doesn't know this? I don't believe there are no undercover police officers there. It's boring."
"That's true," A Kuan was not surprised that he was complaining like this. These people seemed to be unambiguous bosses at first glance. It was normal for them to be jumpy when faced with such treatment. Half a year ago, there were patrons who spoke with a Beijing accent.
, because he was stopped here, he took out his gun and rushed inside.
"We are just smuggling civilian supplies, and the government turns a blind eye. If someone really dares to traffic in high-risk items and is discovered, it will be very miserable."
"How bad is it?" Gou Lianbiao asked, he was a little curious about this station.
"If you want to scare an official, it depends on the nature. However, most of them are private individuals. Sometimes the government can't help but use local people to plant lotus flowers directly."
When saying this, A Kuan glanced at several of them intentionally or unintentionally, with a vague expression in his eyes.
Some warning smells.
Planting lotus means killing people, throwing them into oil barrels, pouring them with concrete, and throwing them directly into the sea. As you can imagine, this is basically equivalent to evaporating from the world.
Chen Taizhong didn't see this look. He was staring at a twenty-ton truck in a daze, "Damn, four trucks..."
The truck was loaded with neatly stacked straw, and a man on the side was putting a tarpaulin on the truck. However, how could the car hidden in the straw escape his eyes?
Hearing this, Ah Kuan couldn't help but look back at him, his eyes full of horror, and he stretched out his thumb, "Master, Mr. Chen's eyesight... I admire him!"
He knows very well that not every veteran can have this kind of vision, but those who have this kind of vision are definitely veterans among veterans. It's hard to say between them. Mr. Chen in front of him has definitely not smuggled cars three or five times.
.
Gou Lianbiao and Ma Kuangbiao secretly exchanged a look, and both of them thought of their previous guesses at the same time: It seems that this is not the first time that Chen Taizhong has played this game, and there is no telling how big his business is.
Being able to lend money to our brother to take this waterway, alas, this is too honorable. Thinking of this, it would be strange if the two of them didn't feel a little grateful.
Chen Taizhong never expected that just looking at a truck with his celestial eye could make the two gangster leaders burst into tears of gratitude. It was a rare kind of heartfelt submission... There are too many inexplicable things in this world.
A little bit.
He used his eyes to look at the pier again, and was shocked to find that the pier was actually stepped, with a ship parked at the corresponding pier at the same height as the deck. It looked like cars could get on the ship directly.
Even though he had seen a lot of battles, Chen Taizhong was still stunned. Damn it, is this still called smuggling? The scale is really too big, right?
"We've been running for such a long time, let's find a place to have something to eat," Madman Ma suggested, "It's still early anyway."
"There's nothing else here, but the seafood couldn't be fresher," A Kuan explained with a smile, "You are all from the inland, haha, I will take you to a good place."
In fact, although this place is prosperous, it is basically all temporary buildings. No matter how good the place is, it is just that. The hotel that A Kuan took them to was a temporary mobile house built with concrete plates. Even so, in
The local area is already an amazing building.
The house is very big, with asbestos tiles on the roof, and diesel is used for cooking and lighting. The owner of the shop must be considered a wealthy person, right?
Ah Kuan saw that Chen Taizhong noticed the rumbling noise outside the house, and explained with a smile, "The electricity here is not easy to connect, and basically everyone uses this thing."
The electricity here will definitely not be easy to operate. Chen Taizhong works in the government and has seen Lu Qiang's 110,000-volt power distribution room. He understands this very well. The electricity consumption here must be at least 100%.
A 110,000-volt substation is enough, right?
However, every family uses it, and the people here are... too rich.
When they sat down and asked about the price of seafood, they realized why they were so rich. I'm sorry, the price of seafood here is almost as high as that of Shanghai Mingyue, but this is the seaside!
"The food here tastes good and the goods are fresh," Ah Kuan explained. He was the one paying for it anyway, so it was necessary to show off. "There are also cheap places outside, but I don't dare to use those things to entertain distinguished guests."
There were about a dozen large round tables in the room, and there were not many people. Eight of us found a seat by the window and sat down. A waiter came to greet us, "Brother Kuan is here? What do you want to eat?"
The tables and chairs here are very simple, but the tableware is quite high-end. It can be seen that the owner of the store is planning to leave at any time. The tables and chairs are not easy to take away, but the tableware is convenient. Since the charge is so high, there must be something decent.
Son?
If the raw seafood in A Kuan's mouth fell into Chen Taizhong's mouth, it would be like barley feeding the bastard - a waste of food. However, Chen was quite interested in those antique pottery tableware, especially the wine pouring tableware.
The half-pound wine flask used is actually produced in Jingdezhen. This is considered to be good for everyone, right?
Everyone was getting drunk when a few people rushed in outside the door - there is no doubt that according to the laws of the novel, these people should be bad guys and come to challenge the protagonist.
that's the truth.
The people who came were all dressed as locals, and the leader was a dark and thin little man. However, this man's belly was already a little fat, and his figure was a bit uncoordinated.
