Chapter 182: The Root
Man Qing also appeared near the dock, but they were hiding in a nearby bush and were using a camera to film Tao Manjin and others carrying the process.
"Manjin, are you going to ship again?" Tao Haisheng finally got off the boat and shouted to Tao Manjin.
"Well, Uncle Haisheng, are you going to sea again? How was the harvest this time? Tao Manjin replied casually, then turned his head and shouted to the porters, "Be quick, don't act like a girl." ”
Jiangbian and [***] and Li Huixing didn't know Tao Manjin, so they didn't pay attention to it, and walked directly to Tao Haisheng's house.
"Riverside!"
He had only walked far from the river when he heard a familiar woman's voice from the bushes behind him.
When he looked back at the river, he saw that Manqing was waving to him there.
"Reporter Man, why did you get here?" Ebebe laughed.
Man Qing walked out of the bushes and said with a smile, "Do interviews here!" Don't reveal our identities, I'm here for an unannounced visit. ”
Man Qing looked at [***] and Li Huixing beside Jiangbian.
Jiang Bian smiled, "Don't worry, they are my good friends and will not betray you." ”
Seeing that Manqing seemed to have something to say to Jiangbian, Li Huixing hurriedly walked forward, "Jiangbian, you talk slowly, let's go to my cousin's house and wait for you." ”
Jiangbian responded, "Hey! ”
Turning back to the riverside, he said to Man Qing, "Reporter Man, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"Well, there's something I want you to help with. Do you remember the last time I asked you about the water and oil? Manqing asked.
Jiangbian nodded.
"We tracked it here, but I suspect there's a bigger family on top of them, so we want to follow this line all the way up and dig up the roots."
"But what can I do to help you? Shouldn't you have more of a police help? ”
"If I could find the police, I would have reported it. Think about it, such a big network, such a big interest, this master must be able to reach the sky, if I reported the case so early, I am sure that all the clues will be cut off quickly. So, I want to investigate the whole network, find evidence of their crimes, and then expose them. ”
"It's not safe to do this, in today's society, some people can do anything for money, if they know that you want to cut off their financial routes, they don't care who you are! They can do anything. ”
Man Qing nodded, "I know, so I am careful every step, just for fear of alarming the other party." Let's find a place to talk, there are a lot of people here, and if you are not careful, you will be exposed. ”
Jiangbian nodded, followed Manqing to the village, and got into Manqing's car together.
"A few days ago, we followed your method, and then found the factory that refines crude oil, and found that this factory is very cunning, they all employ outsiders, and the crude oil produced is not directly taken out through the car that collects the water. After several days of guarding, today I finally found out that they were ready to transport the finished crude oil products outward. Those in iron drums should be crude oil. They don't sell it directly to the market, but sell the crude oil to the upper family, and it should be further processed in that place before it is sold. This is a very tight production and sales network of water and oil. As soon as Man Qing got into the car, he immediately gave Jiangbian a detailed account of the results of their investigation.
"Then I can't help?" Jiangbian was very confused, and he didn't know why Manqing would say so much to himself.
"Now there's a problem that their goods are being sent out by water, and it's not easy for us to track them now because once we follow up, they're easy to spot. In this way, they are very likely to take precautions. I think they did it so tightly that they should have had a way to deal with it. I saw you get off the fishing boat. You must know the owner of the fishing boat well, right? Manqing said.
"Not very familiar. But it's also an acquaintance. Kawabe said.
"Can you help me ask, can you ask him to do us a favor and track down the transport?" Manqing said her true purpose.
"That's fine, I'll ask you later. There are still a lot of fish in the boat to be sold in Qiantang City, and it would be nice if those goods were sent to Qiantang City! Kawabe said.
"This is also possible, the next step of their goods is to be further processed, and after deep processing, they will be directly packaged into regular goods for sale. I suspect that the factories that accept their crude oil for further processing may be relatively large-scale factories. These factories may even be regular manufacturers of edible oil. Then the real and the fake are adulterated to deceive consumers. Manqing analyzed.
"Wouldn't it? Big manufacturers also do this? "Jiangbian couldn't believe it.
"If you know the profit margins, you know why they're doing it. The current market price of a ton of crude oil is 6,000 yuan, which can process 800 to 900 kilograms of refined oil, and the cost per kilogram is less than 10 yuan, but the market price of edible blended oil per kilogram is about 30~50 yuan. The ex-factory price will not be less than 25 yuan. That is, they have extremely good profits. That's why so many people are taking risks. Manqing explained.
Jiangbian opened his mouth wide, not surprised by the profits of water and oil, but surprised that some people can do anything in order to make money.
"Okay, I'll go and ask you to see when Uncle Tao is ready to leave. Otherwise, I'll follow the ship and track it down. "Jiangbian didn't have a particularly sense of justice, but he thought that he would buy a barrel of oil in the supermarket one day, and finally found that half of it was watery oil. Or the soup that was poured out one day, and the oil in it returned to its own pot two days later.
Jiangbian is even very glad that in order to be safe, he has always relied on the relationship and directly purchased freshly pressed vegetable oil in the countryside. This embarrassment was avoided, otherwise, Jiangbian might have been half sick to death when he heard the news.
"Please, then. By the way, it's best to let me go with me then! Manqing said.
"You? Seasickness no? It's best not to go seasick! "Immediately remembered something in the sea.
"Seasickness? How can I get seasick? When I was an intern, I also followed and interviewed the ocean-going frigates! Man Qing said proudly. But he didn't mention that time, Manqing almost vomited out his intestines, and when he finally recovered, the task of the fleet was over.
"That's best, I'll go over and ask Uncle Tao. Why don't you go with you? Jiangbian pushed the car door open and walked down.
"Okay!" Manqing said.
Jiangbian took Man Qing to Tao Haisheng's house.
Tao Haisheng's mother-in-law had already prepared lunch.
"Uncle Tao, I brought a friend over, she has been playing here in Yuwan Village these days, and she is going to meet Qiantang with me!" Jiangbe said.
"Okay, let's sit down and eat together! After a while, after dinner, you will take Lijun's car to meet Qiantang together, and I will take the waterway to send the fish to Qiantang. Lijun, you come to the dock to pick up the boat and deal with the harvest of your trip. Tao Haisheng said.
"Hey!" [***] answered.
"Uncle Tao, that's right, we want to walk the water with you. This friend of mine likes the seaside scenery and brought a camera to shoot a set of seaside shots. Kawabe said.
"So? No problem, as long as you want, but it's much slower by water than by land, and if you get seasick, it's not comfortable! Girl, you've figured it out! Tao Haisheng said.
"No problem! Xiao Jiang asked me this just now, I used to stay on the ship for nearly half a month, no problem. However, along the way, I may detour to some places, and I will trouble my uncle at that time, and I will pay the expenses. Manqing said.
"What are you talking about? You are all friends of Lijun, and you will go around a little bend. What's it worth? Anyway, by the way! Tao Haisheng said politely.
Man Qing smiled, "Then thank you Uncle Tao first!" ”
In the afternoon, Man Qing asked Zhou You to drive back to Qiantang City first. Just go with [***] and Li Huixing.
Manqing and Jiangbian got on Tao Haisheng's fishing boat together.
Coincidentally, Tao Manjin also happened to fill a cargo ship over there.
"Uncle Haisheng, are you still going to sea?" Tao Manjin asked.
"Well, we have to send the fish to Qiantang City. This time it was my cousin who chartered my boat. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to catch a cabin of fish. Just in time for me to go out to sea! Tao Haisheng said with a smile.
"Who are those two? I don't think I've seen it. Not like your cousin? Tao Manjin asked. It wasn't that he was suspicious of Jiangbian and Manqing, but seeing that Manqing looked so standard, he couldn't help but ask.
"It's not my cousin. It's my cousin's friend, they don't want to take the car back, they want to take a boat along the way to see the scenery! The people in the city are very weird! Tao Haisheng said.
"Hehe, I see. People in the city just know how to enjoy life! Tao Manjin glanced back at Manqing's back again, and said with some envy. There is no suspicion about Jiangbian and Manqing.
"You're better than the people in the city! Your two brothers have run such a big factory, and they have also bought a house in the town, even if you want to buy a house in Qiantang City, you can't afford it. I heard that it is not easy for people in Qiantang City to buy a house! Tao Haisheng said.
"Hey, hey!" Tao Manjin smiled. Walk towards the cargo ship.
Tao Haisheng got on the boat, and Man Qing hurriedly said, "Uncle, wait a while, can you wait for the cargo ship to open, and then let's open it?" ”
Tao Haisheng was a little strange, "Their cargo ship is so full, the speed must be very slow." We're much faster than they are! ”
"Uncle Tao, do you know what factory the two brothers Tao Manfa and Tao Manjin opened?" Man Qing didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"It seems that he is opening a bone meal factory, but his factory recruits all outsiders, and no one in the village has seen it. However, at the beginning, there was a big smell from the bone meal factory, and the villagers wanted to go in to see it, but the two brothers said that they were afraid of contaminating the bone meal and would not let them in. It is locked with big locks every day, and no one knows what is produced inside. Tao Haisheng said.
