Chapter 209: 300% Windfall Profits

At noon the next day, Hailong was called to his home by Li Wanhao to discuss the future shipping matters.

So far, Hilong respects Marriott Lee the most, because whenever Hilong gets lost, Hilong will call Marriott Lee to ask some questions about life.

Li Wanhao is like Hilong's life mentor, telling Hilong what he has experienced in his life, telling Hilong what will happen to each road, but he does not decide which road to take for Hilong, and Hailong will have more understanding after every conversation.

In the past, they were contacted by phone, but this time Li Wanhao returned to Donghai to retire, and Hailong also wanted to have a long talk with Li Wanhao in person, about life and about future development.

Under the leadership of the servant, Hailong came to Li Wanhao's reception room, and when he opened the door and entered the house, Hailong smelled a strong fragrance of tea.

Seeing that Hailong was coming, Li Wanhao said with a smile: "The tea is just right, come and sit down and taste my tea ceremony." ”

Seeing that Li Wanhao's mental state was good, Hailong also said happily: "Uncle Li is so interested, he actually played the tea ceremony." As he spoke, Hilong walked across from Li Wanhao and sat down.

Hilong is really happy for Li Wanhao, and finally stepped down from the position of chairman, without many worries, and can enjoy his old age with his wife with peace of mind.

Li Wanhao said with a smile: "Do you enjoy life, you only know when you are old, it turns out that life is so delicious." ”

Hailong took out the gift that had been prepared a long time ago, handed it to Li Wanhao and said: "Uncle Li, this is a bottle of Lafite in 1918, give it to you, I have time to taste it." ”

Hailong knew that Li Wanhao was a good drinker of red wine, so he specially gave him one of the 6 bottles of red wine he treasured, not to mention that the value of the bottle of red wine itself was as high as 3 million yuan.

In terms of the rarity of this wine, there is no way to buy it with money on the market. This wine has long been treasured in the cellars of those who truly love red wine, and is offered there as an antique and a work of art, and it is satisfying to look at it every day.

Marriott Lee once wanted to buy a bottle of this 1918 red wine, and there was an auction house to auction it at the beginning, but at that time, Marriott Lee's wife was seriously ill, so Marriott Lee had no heart to participate in the auction at all, and finally regretfully missed the bottle of red wine.

Unexpectedly, today Hilong actually gave himself a bottle, and heard that this wine is Lafite in 1918. Li Wanhao snatched the wine from Hilong's hand in an instant with a speed that did not suit his age, and looked at the introduction of the trademark excitedly.

The bottle was originally hidden in the sealed safe in the captain's room, although it was immersed in the sea for hundreds of years, but the sealed safe made in Germany in 1918 was really not ordinarily strong, and the erosion of a hundred years still did not let the sea water pour into the safe, so the label of this bottle is new.

The label is new, but look at the label. Knowing that this thing is not the current thing, because the materials used can be seen at a glance, Li Wanhao said excitedly: "Oh, the best." This is simply a work of art, Helong, you really know your Uncle Li's hobbies. ”

Hilong smiled and said, "If you like it, it's fine." ”

Li Wanhao played with Lafite for a long time, and finally reluctantly hid the wine in his wine cabinet. After doing all this, Li Wanhao said to Hailong: "Oops, it's a gaffe. I can't imagine that I am so old and still lose my temper. ”

Helong laughed and said, "The more you live, the more graceful you are." ”

Li Wanhao scolded with a smile: "You kid has a sweet mouth." ”

Then he said: "Four ships have already gone to sea, do you have any plans?" ”

Hailong said: "The businessman Xu Cheng you introduced to me is going to India recently, and I am also going to follow the ship to see if there is any good business over there, you know that I am going to do smuggling business." ”

Li Wanhao smiled and said, "Helong, do you know the Godwin family?" ”

Hearing Li Wanhao say this, Hailong said with a smile: "Uncle Li is interesting enough, but I don't know anything about India." ”

Li Wanhao said proudly: "You Uncle Li and I have been walking by sea for more than 30 years, and the number of times I have been to India is countless. ”

Pulling Hailong to discuss Indian affairs while drinking tea, Hailong's eyes lit up when he heard this.

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Wanhao said with enjoyment: "The most profitable thing that India is smuggling now is nylon thread, which is extremely low in India's own production capacity, but it is extremely widely used, resulting in India now needing a large number of nylon threads."

Originally, smuggling this thing was not profitable, because the nylon thread produced in our country was only 240 US dollars per kilogram, which was about the same price as India.

Under normal circumstances, it is only a dozen dollars per kilogram of profits, but India has increased the trade tariff by 300% on the grounds of protecting its own industry, which means that if the nylon thread made by other countries wants to be exported to India, the nylon thread that was originally only worth 240 US dollars a kilogram was artificially increased to 960 US dollars by the Indian customs.

This is still the entry price, not counting the 10% consumption tax and 17% parallel value-added tax, as well as the 20% personal income tax that needs to be paid at the time of sale, if you count the final sale price of these things reached more than 1,400 US dollars.

Think about it, who would trade normally at such a high price, an old friend of mine Godwin asked me many times if I could help him smuggle some nylon thread in the past, but I haven't done this business for many years, and the Indian customs are no longer the customs of the past, and it is very difficult to smuggle in the past, so I politely refused him many times. ”

Hailong asked curiously: "India is crazy, with a 300% tariff, who will go through normal channels to sell there." ”

Li Wanhao smiled and said to Hailong: "So, this breeds a large number of smuggling businessmen, but the ability of Indian customs today is not what it used to be, not only equipped with a dedicated maritime patrol fleet, special maritime inspection, but also special inspection equipment on land, so I want to smuggle it through." It's extremely tough. ”

Hailong said happily: "Uncle Li, can you help me contact your Indian friend, I am willing to help him smuggle." “

Li Wanhao said: "Hilong, you have to think about this matter well, even if you don't smuggle, you can get tens of millions of profits a year by relying on these four ships, if you are caught smuggling, then your ship will be detained, and you may also face heavy fines." You have to be prepared for this. ”

Hailong said gratefully: "Thank you Uncle Li for your reminder, but I am very confident in this matter, and the things I smuggled will never be found." ”

Li Wanhao said: "Okay, I'll call and ask my old friend what else he needs now." ”

Godwin, a 58-year-old member of the city council of Decca in India, sat helplessly on a stool in the conference room, with Godwin's six sons and three daughters sitting on either side of the table, while everyone was violently arguing about an important issue.

There is a folk proverb in India. A person must have at least three sons, one son should go to the policeman or the soldier, so that the family has status; A son is going to work as a farmer and let the family own their own land. There is also one who wants to be a bandit, so that the family will be rich and powerful.

As the newly rising Godwin family in Decca City, Godwin Sr. has always believed in this sentence passed down from his ancestors, so he gave birth to 6 sons and 3 daughters. Two of the six sons became police officers and military officers, two of them became the largest cattle traders, and two sons controlled the largest local gang. Originally, old Godwin should be very satisfied, it can be said that there is no shortage of power and money in Decca City, and he is respected by people everywhere he goes, and people call Godwin Master Godwin.

This made old Godwin extremely self-inflated for a while, thinking that he was the biggest in Decca City, but recently old Godwin has been very bad, because his business has been greatly disrupted.

The eldest son, the policeman Rocht, said helplessly: "Father, we can't do anything about this time, this is a matter at the national level, and our small family has no way to compete with it." ”

Just as Godwin was about to speak, the phone rang next to him, as a person in a high position, there can never be only one phone, but there is a phone that must always be carried with him.

Seeing that the phone he was carrying with him rang, Godwin quickly picked up the phone, saw that it was Li Wanhao calling, asked his sons to be quiet, and said happily after connecting: "My friend, why did you remember to call me." ”

Li Wanhao said with a smile: "How are you doing recently, my friend, one of my nephews is going to visit you recently, he has a way to get nylon thread, do you still buy it over there?" ”

Of course Godwin needed it, now nylon thread is simply more precious than gold, and whoever has nylon thread in India is equivalent to having a lot of money.

Godwin said excitedly, "Oh, my dear friend, every time I get a call from you, it's so pleasant, of course I need that damn nylon thread."

Did you know that since the state enacted the 300% tariff, India has gone crazy now for this thing, and everyone is trying to find a way to smuggle this thing in.

But do you know how strict India is on smuggling now, are you sure that your friends will be able to smuggle it? ”

Li Wanhao said with a smile: "My friend, can't you believe my introduction, how much do you want over there, and what is the price." ”

As Godwin's most trusted friend, Godwin still believes what Li Wanhao said, you must know that in the past 30 years of Li Wanhao's smuggling, the value of the goods smuggled between him and Godwin has been immeasurable, and the two have already established an extraordinary friendship and trust, and both of them are old, which has deepened this relationship.

Hearing Li Wanhao's words, Godwin was no longer polite, and said happily: "I need about five tons of nylon thread here, and if your friend can ship it, I am willing to buy it at a price of 450 US dollars per kilogram." ”

Li Wanhao felt that the price was okay, so he agreed for Hailong, and Hailong hurriedly said: "My maximum smuggling capacity is now 600 tons, 20 containers, help me ask him if he has any other things to buy, and I will buy everything that can be smuggled." ”

After Li Wanhao conveyed Godwin's words, Godwin said with a smile: "Oh, my friend, you must know that now India is full of gold, he can smuggle anything, we are willing to buy it at a high price, of course, if he can buy a little more LCD TV, I will be more satisfied, you know, our country's TV is about to be contracted by the damn Japanese and Korean TV companies, but their prices are too expensive, I want some cheaper TV." ”

Li Wanhao decided for Hailong and said: "Okay, this time I will let him smuggle TV over, smuggle 1,000 units, and I will earn 1,000 yuan for each TV." ”

Godwin completely agreed, the business was simply too profitable, and the two came to an agreement. (To be continued......)
