Chapter 494: 'Smuggling Cars'

"Hey kid, why do you like to learn from the leaders of the Celestial Empire, and you like to talk to Rafi?"

Li Zhiyang scolded with a smile, some time ago, Li Zhiyang, Cheng Dazhuang and Liu Jie had dinner together in the imperial capital, and Cheng Dazhuang once told them a joke...

At that time, Cheng Dazhuang said that again, they drank with some leaders of the Celestial Petrochemical Empire, originally they thought that they were already NB, but they didn't expect that compared with the leaders of the Petrochemical Empire, they were nothing at all.

People's offices dare to install tens of millions of chandeliers, and if they have nothing to do, they will raise their wages to play, and it has always been Bentley or Maserati to go out to drive, and Mercedes-Benz is not in the eyes of others at all.

Needless to say, people drink and drink all the water in 82 Lafite, or 30 years of Feitian Moutai, compared with them, Cheng Dazhuang and a few of them are simply rich people who have just entered the city

After only fighting this incident, when they met for dinner together, they often joked about Lafite and Moutai.

"This is also in the United States, if it is in China, I have to ask for a dozen or twenty bottles of Feitian Moutai, and I will drink you to death."

Liu Jie said unrelentingly.

Yes, you can do it, eat yours. ”

Li Zhiyang smiled and asked Liu Jie to stop, at this time, the waiter, just as Li Zhiyang's food was served, and now there are few people eating in the restaurant of the entire hotel, so the time to serve the food is very fast.

"By the way, Brother Zhuang, when did you arrive?"

Li Zhiyang picked up the oyster soup in front of him, took a sip and asked Cheng Dazhuang that since he entered the restaurant, Cheng Dazhuang hasn't spoken much

"Hey, I arrived the night before yesterday."

Cheng Dazhuang laughed and said.

"When did you go to Atlantic City? How's it going? ”

Li Zhiyang asked again.

Atlantic City is a well-known casino on the east coast of the United States, although it may not be as famous internationally as Las Vegas, Macau, and Monte Carlo in Europe.

But in the United States, it is also a well-known paradise, and the famous American rogue tycoon Trump made his fortune here

The city was founded in New Jersey, not far from New York and not far from Philadelphia, and flourished in the late '70s.

Now the city is not much worse than Las Vegas in terms of hardware, and the worse is just fame.

However, because it is close to the east coast of the United States, gamblers on the east coast, if they want to have a good time, they don't need to go to Las Vegas all the way.

Especially in recent years, with the increase of Asian immigrants in New York, and Atlantic City, it has become more prosperous, and now although the economic situation in the United States has deteriorated, Atlantic City belongs to another world entirely, where there is still a lot of traffic, singing every night.

Li Zhiyang has been to the United States several times, but every time he comes here, he is either busy making money or meeting customers, and he has never been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the two gold caves in the United States, so now he is inevitably a little curious about where he is.

"I didn't get through when I called you yesterday, and we had nothing to do, so we went to play somewhere all night."

Cheng Dazhuang replied with a smile, it seems that he was in Atlantic City last night and had a good life.

"Hey, how's your luck?"

Li Zhiyang asked with a smile.

"It's okay, yesterday was mainly Liu Jie who played more, this raw melon egg who just entered the casino, his luck was very violent, and he was stunned to let the casino change three dealers."

Cheng Dazhuang said with a smile.

"How much did you win?"

Li Zhiyang was also very curious when he heard it, so he asked out loud.

"I responded to 50,000 US dollars, hehe, buddy really didn't come in vain this time, at least the travel expenses were earned."

Liu Jie said very stinky on the side, and then turned his head to look at Cheng Dazhuang, he saw that Cheng Dazhuang didn't pay much attention, so he immediately became very obscene and said.

"Hehe, I also rode two oceanic horses, hehe, buddy, this is for the people of our imperial capital when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the imperial capital, and I got a little interest back."

", you didn't spend any money."

Li Zhiyang scolded with a smile, Liu Jie has also fallen, the evil world of flowers, the evil capitalism Li Zhiyang pondered in his heart.

"Hehe, I really don't admire it, the quality of chicks in New England is better than that in Las Vegas, and now there are too many Latino chicks in Las Vegas, and the buddies are a little tired of playing."

Cheng Dazhuang interjected again, Li Zhiyang heard it with a chill, these two guys, when they ran here, they simply became two super big yin worms, if they continue to pull like this, they don't know where they are going to go

So Li Zhiyang stopped arguing with the two yin worms, and began to deal with the dinner in front of him, this cheese and shrimp balls have been up for a while, if you don't eat them again, they will be cold, and if they are cold, they will not taste good.

Li Zhiyang finished eating the cheese and shrimp balls in front of him, and then suddenly remembered the batch of goods he had just brought in from Detroit.

After he had made a deal with Lufus and Claude that day, he was still wondering how to get this shipment out of the United States

You must know that the U.S. government has always been relatively strict in controlling CNC machine tools, especially industrial machine tools, and it is mainly aimed at the Celestial Empire.

Goods like this are absolutely not allowed to be shipped out of the United States, even if the drawings can be sent to the people of the Celestial Empire, they don't care, but they will not allow the Celestial Empire to have a physical industrial machine.

Because the Americans are very aware of the scientific research strength of the Celestial Empire, even if the Celestial Empire gets the drawings of those industrial machine tools, they will not be able to find them.

The reason why Americans have no fear is because of the backwardness of the Celestial Empire in material science, for example, on the industrial machine tool, there are probably thousands of industrial carving knives with various functions, large and small

This kind of special carving knife that can carve on extremely hard special steel cannot be made in the Celestial Empire, let alone those machines that require hardness of the robot arm, which requires special steel.

But once the Celestial Empire has a real high-end CNC machine tool, or an industrial machine tool, the meaning will be completely different.

With an industrial machine tool, countless advanced CNC machine tools can be built, once a link in the blockade chain is broken, then the remaining problems are just broken by each one.

Therefore, as long as the Celestial Empire does not make a breakthrough in material science, then they will never want to build such an industrial machine tool, so the Americans' control over this aspect can be said to be quite strict, and even rose to the height of national security, that is, an industrial machine must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Celestial Empire.

Although Li Zhiyang will complete this deal with those Chrysler internal marmots in the name of scrap acquisition, they buy 'scrap metal'.

Originally, Li Zhiyang wanted to entrust his father-in-law to help solve this matter, but since he saw Cheng Dazhuang first, he simply asked him if he had a way to help transport these machines out.

"By the way, Brother Zhuang, I want to ask you for help with something, I don't know if you have a way?"

After Li Zhiyang finished eating the shrimp balls, after remembering this stubble, he suddenly asked Cheng Dazhuang.

"What's the matter? Between our brothers, what are you polite about, as long as I can help, I will definitely help. ”

Cheng Dazhuang didn't take it seriously at all, Li Zhiyang was polite to him, and he was not happy

"That's right, Brother Zhuang, I got a batch of goods in the United States and wanted to ship them back, but you know that it may not be convenient to go through the normal procedures, so I want to ask you if there is a way and if you can get the freight back."

Li Zhiyang was not polite, and said directly.

"What's that?"

Liu Jie asked more on the side.

"Hehe, you don't care, it's not a traitor."

Li Zhiyang didn't want the two of them to know too much, Cheng Dazhuang and Liu Jie knew that it was inconvenient for him to answer when they saw Li Zhiyang like this, so they simply didn't ask.

has known Li Zhiyang for so long, they have always understood Li Zhiyang's character, and what he doesn't want to say, it's best not to ask, anyway, he won't treat his friends badly.

"How many?"

Cheng Dazhuang asked.

"It's about a thousand tons, I have a friend who happens to be from Chrysler, and you probably know the situation in Chrysler now, so they want to smuggle something so that they can make a fortune before Chrysler falls."

Li Zhiyang said truthfully and falsely, he only mentioned Chrysler, but did not mention what was released from Chrysler.

"Rub, I thought it was something? I want to smuggle some cars? You are looking for my brother in this matter, and you really found the right one. ”

As soon as Liu Jie heard that it was Chrysler, he immediately thought that Li Zhiyang wanted to smuggle cars, and Cheng Dazhuang had indeed done such a thing before.

At that time, it was still the mid-90s, and there were many red children who did this, and at that time, everyone generally smuggled cars into the country from Japan, or South Korea, or Hong Kong.

At that time, Japanese cars and Korean cars were all good goods in the Celestial Empire, and later with the widening of everyone's horizons, these Japanese and Korean goods, everyone looked down on them, so they were smuggled directly from the United States, which is nothing new.

However, in recent years, with the development of the economy of the Celestial Empire and the entry of foreign-funded enterprises, the automobile is no longer a luxury in the Celestial Empire, so this industry has gradually declined.

However, in the coastal area, there is still such behavior, but now the ones that can be smuggled in are high-end cars, because there is basically no market for low-end cars now.

Therefore, the smuggling into the country is generally a relatively high-grade American car and German car, Japanese car and Korean car, which are basically almost extinct.

Liu Jie said at this time that Li Zhiyang wanted to smuggle a batch of cars into the country, and Cheng Dazhuang also thought that was the case, but he was also a little strange, with Li Zhiyang's current status and wealth, he didn't need to do such a thing, he shouldn't be short of money.

Li Zhiyang looked at Cheng Dazhuang's questioning gaze, and immediately understood what he was thinking, so he replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhuang, I'm just helping some friends."

"That's it, there are just a few southern friends' cargo ships, just arrived in the United States, their goods are let the Yankees, in the name of anti-dumping to detain, anyway, this time it is estimated that they are also with the bottom, just to help you transport things back, but also to earn some freight, the province this time is a trip for nothing, let the goods be burned, not to mention, and finally run back empty."

Cheng Dazhuang said lightly, this matter is not a big deal for him at all.

Li Zhiyang felt that it was okay when he heard it, this kind of thing was much easier to do, as long as those guys could drive the boat to Detroit, the rest of the things would be easy to do.

The Lufus guys are very well prepared, they are not only responsible for buying, but also responsible for transporting the goods, at least the goods to the port, loading the ship, etc., are all within their scope of responsibility.

When the ship goes to sea, they don't care, and the rest is to send those nasty US Coast Guards, as long as these people are sent away, there is basically nothing to do.

After all, in the Pacific Ocean, the most cruising are still American warships, but if you believe in these things, James can help him settle it.

You must know that the Iraq war, which the United States has not yet gotten out of, and the Afghanistan war, all have the participation of the Rockefellers, so that in the upper echelons of the United States, of course, there will be no shortage of their people.

In the Pentagon, the IA headquarters in Langli, Virginia, is full of people they have planted

To be honest, it is not a difficult thing for Li Zhiyang to be a difficult thing for outsiders, it is because of the relationship behind him, as long as he can expand all his background relationships, then these difficult things are all trivial matters in his opinion.

It's just that such a troublesome person will owe people favors, and the reason why he didn't find James to talk about it at the beginning is that I don't know if James will agree to it, and he will ship those machine tools out of the United States.

After all, James is an American, and the destination he wants to ship the machine tool to is the Celestial Empire, so he was afraid that James would not agree, so he didn't tell him.

However, he knew that James probably already knew about it, after all, the bodyguards he brought with him when he went to Chrysler were all sent by James, but as long as he didn't ask, it was tacit approval, and he didn't mention it.

Now that Cheng Dazhuang has solved the transportation matter for him, his only hope is that those annoying coastal patrol teams will not come up to find trouble, and there are those US ** ships cruising in the Pacific Ocean

Now that the matter has been basically resolved, Li Zhiyang didn't think about it anymore, so he and Cheng Dazhuang began to chat nonsense.

"By the way, Brother Zhuang, I bought a house here, why don't you stay in a hotel anymore, go directly to my house, get it"

Li Zhiyang suddenly remembered this, he bought a big villa here, how could he still let his good friend live in the hotel

"Well, it's okay, let's go and recognize the door."

Cheng Dazhuang agreed after thinking about it, Liu Jie heard that Li Zhiyang had bought a house here, and he wanted to go and see it for a long time, even if Cheng Dazhuang didn't want to go, he had to go.

Soon a few people finished dinner, Li Zhiyang asked Cheng Dazhuang and the others to go out of the room, and then took the two of them and drove directly to his castle on Long Island.

Cheng Dazhuang has been to the United States many times, and New York has been to New York many times, but he is different from those cynics in China who like to lick the scarlet letters of American py.

Although he also does business with Americans, he is not an American supremacist, so although he has been to the United States many times before, most of them have been business trips.

After finishing the business, I left, and I didn't have much of a good trip to the United States, even if I occasionally came here for tourism and consumption, most of them were concentrated in places like Los Angeles and Las Vegas on the west coast of the United States.

So he really hasn't been to a wealthy area like the Hampton Tons on Long Island, New York, and Cheng Dazhuang hasn't been to yet, not to mention that this is Liu Jie, who is in the United States for the first time.

Along the way, the two of them vigorously denounced the corruption of the evil American imperialists, this house was changed, it was really amazing, it was not scientific at all, why wouldn't you learn to save land?

When the two of them got out of the car before being taken to his castle by Li Zhiyang, they were completely dumbfounded when they looked at the European medieval-style castle in front of them

"My good boy, Yang Zi, this is your newly bought house?"

Liu Jie looked at the ancient castle in front of him and sighed, although Cheng Dazhuang is more knowledgeable than Liu Jie, he has never seen such a thing, and he bought an ancient castle to make it his home, so he didn't say anything at this time.

"You kid, as soon as you arrive in the United States, you will be like this, hurry up and recruit from the truth, how much does this house cost?"

Liu Jie put his arms around Li Zhiyang's neck and said threateningly.

"Hehe, it didn't cost much, it really didn't cost much."

Li Zhiyang didn't plan to spend $200 million on this house and tell them that this was too shocking after all. More than 100 million RB, just buy a house?

"Brother, look at our gifts, compared to this, can you still get a micro-service?"

Liu Jie saw that Li Zhiyang was not happy to say, so he didn't ask, turned his head and asked Cheng Dazhuang.

"Why don't you give it, but this is also our intention, isn't it? Although it can't be compared to this."

Cheng Dazhuang scratched his head, and then said.

"What are you two muttering? Let's get inside."

Li Zhiyang didn't hear what the two of them said, the temperature outside was not high at this time, and he didn't want to be frozen outside

"By the way, Zhiyang, I think the two of us should give you the engagement gift we prepared for you first, so as not to be embarrassed and conspicuous when you get it, give it to you."

Cheng Dazhuang said at this time and handed over a key, Li Zhiyang looked a little strange, so Liu Jie on the side hurriedly explained.

"This is a house that we have prepared for you, considering that my sister-in-law is an American, we have prepared a villa for you in the American village on the other side of Fangjia Village in Huailai, when, if you two are tired of living in the imperial capital, if your sister-in-law is homesick, you will go there to live for a few days."
