For those who are familiar with docks and sea vessels, the high seas have a special presence.

After all, reaching the high seas is equivalent to leaving the national border and coming to an unmanaged sea, and in recent years, various countries have become increasingly serious in the control and competition for land, and the high seas are one of the few free zones on the earth.

Nowadays, there are many luxury passenger ships in the south, after picking up guests on the coast of the mainland, they directly moor on the high seas to gather crowds to gamble, and there is no need to worry about breaking any laws.

Not only can you gamble on the ship, but you can also directly resell foreign exchange, guns, take narcotics, and prostitute women.

Shen Rui knew that the place where Ma San wanted to take him was not a gambling ship on the high seas, but another existence, a smuggling boat!

In the early days of reform and opening up, smuggling used to be the most talked about livelihood for coastal residents, especially in the southern coastal cities, where many smuggling giants were born, with amazing net worth, ranging from cigarettes, alcohol, cosmetics, to automobiles, crude oil, and munitions.

In the 90s, the mainland once set off a wave of smuggling cars, and Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai were all over the streets, and the price was half cheaper than the cars purchased through normal procedures, and as long as they spent some money to go through the back door of the traffic police brigade, they could still go through the formalities and go on the road normally, and even many government agencies and units at that time could not resist the temptation to buy smuggled cars, which brought great harm to the mainland's automobile industry at that time.

In the 21st century, the price of crude oil soared, and one after another 10,000-ton oil tankers ran from the Middle East to the high seas near China, setting off a wave of smuggling crude oil.

Automobiles, crude oil, these are typical bulk trade, not to mention the cumbersome transportation, but also to avoid being detected by customs, smugglers still have a way to operate, which shows the strength of these guys.

In recent years, although the state has become more and more strict in the control of maritime smuggling, there are still many people on the high seas who rely on smuggling to make a living. Naturally, it was picked up on the high seas.

There is no land on the high seas, how to receive goods?

Laymen don't understand that although there is no land on the high seas, those powerful smuggling giants can build a piece of land by themselves!

Normally, smuggling is carried out in this way, the big smugglers will buy a 10,000-ton ship, anchor it on the high seas, and the ship will be filled with all kinds of contraband, like a huge maritime shopping mall, which is called a base ship.

Ships from all over the world go directly to the base ship to select the goods they want, make a deal on the spot, load the goods on the ship and transport them away, find a way to get them into various coastal ports, and then spread out from the coastal cities to the inland.

This is a complete chain of interests, involving the livelihood of thousands of people from all sides, and the large-scale smuggling in the past was difficult to handle, so it was smuggled towards the mainland little by little by the way ants moved, and the total amount is still very amazing.

Third Brother Ma never admitted that he had done smuggling, but now he took Shen Rui and Lao Pan to find a smuggling boat to trade gold, which shows that the third brother's ass may not be as clean as he said.

Shen Rui was very excited, he had grown up by the dock since he was a child, and he knew a lot about these things in the dark, but now it was the first time he had the opportunity to get in touch with the business of smuggling, and ordinary people would probably never have the opportunity to see how real smuggling works in their lives.

When he arrived on the high seas, Ma San made several phone calls to the smuggling base ship and his own men.

The smuggling base ship is constantly swimming on the high seas along the coast of the mainland, and its location is erratic, and it is not that the old customers cannot find where the ship is, and even if they do, they will not be able to get on the ship without anyone to guide them, let alone trade.

After determining the location and time of the joint, Ma San and Lao Pan were busy in the cabin with Shen Rui, despite their injuries.

The bars were marked with a conspicuous mark that needed to be erased.

Lao Pan took out an acetylene welder, lit it, and the nozzle shot out a blue flame, and burned the gold bars one by one with fire, melting the marks of Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, the melting point of gold is not high, only 1,0064 degrees, as long as the surface of the gold bar softens slightly, Shen Rui smashed down with a hammer, and no marks can be seen.

After all, it was close to a ton of gold, and the three of them worked for a whole day and a night to finish it, but Shen Rui was not light, there were many marine parasites on the gold, and it had to be washed with a water spray gun.

When this batch of gold is processed, not to mention the young Shen Rui and the injured Ma San, even the old Pan, who is stronger than a cow, is tired, and the three of them ignore the moisture on the sea, they fall asleep, snoring louder than the other.

At the same time, Xiaoba was not idle, he was transporting Shen Rui's gold from the wreck site to the vicinity of Shen Rui's home in the Bohai Sea.

Dididi~

Dididi~

Ma Sanding's alarm clock kept ringing, and finally the three of them quarreled from their sleep.

Shen Rui climbed out of the cabin and took a look, only to see the bright moon hanging high, the time was about midnight, the weather was good, and the sea was calm.

In the distance, it seemed that a large ship was approaching, and the spotlights on the ship kept turning on and off, like some kind of signal.

"Third brother, come and see!" Shen Rui hurriedly called Ma San to the deck.

"Seven long and two short, yes, it's Lao Huang's boat."

Ma San nodded, and hurriedly responded with a signal light, only to see the big ship slowly approaching, someone on the boat dropped the cable, Lao Pan tied the cable three times and divided five by two, and the two boats, one large and one small, leaned together.

The people on the boat put down the ladder again, Ma San gave Shen Rui and Lao Pan a look, and went on the big boat by himself, and soon heard Ma San and who were talking and laughing on the boat, and the accent should be Southern Hokkien.

After a while, Ma San and a middle-aged man in a flower shirt returned to the ship to see the goods.

Several people went down to the cabin, Lao Pan lifted the canvas on the box, and then opened a box, and the yellow, orange and orange gold bars inside were particularly eye-catching.

The middle-aged man in the floral shirt smiled in surprise, revealing two big gold teeth.

"Boss Ma is so generous! That's a ton of gold, right? The big gold tooth surnamed Huang was surprised.

Ma San said quietly: "A total of nine hundred and thirty-one kilograms, if Boss Huang is still satisfied, let people carry it out and weigh it." ”

The big golden tooth hurriedly shook his head and said in jerky Mandarin: "Boss Ma's personality is trustworthy to me, come here, receive the goods!" Everyone, after a hard journey, please come to me for a cup of tea and relax. ”

Although the words were polite, someone still had to watch the handover process, Lao Pan smiled and said to Shen Rui: "You go with the third brother, I will stay here to deliver the goods." ”

When he spoke, Lao Pan also stabbed Shen Rui's waist with his elbow maliciously, and he didn't know what it meant.

Seeing that Ma San was relieved to leave boldly, Shen Rui followed him and the smuggler Huang Yaozu on the big ship.

The ship was about 15,000 tons, and it looked ordinary, even old, and carried the Panamanian flag.

Who knew that when Shen Rui arrived on the ship, the upper deck was so splendid, there was an open-air swimming pool on the foredeck, and seven or eight young girls who were barely wearing any clothes were lying in the pool, holding champagne or cocktails in their hands, and there were even three blonde foreign girls, with white skin and bulging murder weapons.

Huang Yaozu, the big golden tooth, saw that Shen Rui was young, smiled and patted Shen Rui's shoulder and said, "Little brother, don't be polite if you like it." ”

After that, the big gold tooth pointed to the girl in the pool with his hand, and the group of girls were also familiar with the road, knowing what they were going to do when the guests came, they all smiled at Shen Rui, and a bold foreign girl even directly untied the bikini top, the scene was so fragrant that it made people squirt nosebleeds...
