At night, the urban area of the dry port gradually has a hint of brightness.

In just six months, dozens of private factories, small workshops and, increasingly, construction sites, have appeared. Almost marked by the birth of Fenyuan Company, the inland port area gradually opened the curtain of market economy. As the policy allows, more and more people smell the money contained in business.

Again, the Red Star Factory is a typical example - although many people do not know that this tractor factory with 24-hour production is an out-and-out private factory.

The wharf of Hongxing Factory is officially named Hongxing Wharf, which is not only the special cargo wharf of Hongxing Factory, but also one of the foreign-related wharves of the inland port customs.

Li Lu and Wade stood at the pier trestle, leaning on the guardrail and looking at the two 30,000-ton ocean-going ro-ro freighters in the harbor. The Great Britain and the New Mexico were parked side by side, arriving here in the middle of the day, completing the formalities an hour earlier, and not completing the rest until dawn, almost two days before the unloading began.

As for unloading, it is very convenient, the Red Star Wharf has been renovated and has the conditions of the ro-ro wharf, the ro-ro ship is directly docked, the bow hatch is opened and the springboard is put down, and the car inside can be driven out directly, and other goods can be pulled out by trailers, which is very convenient.

This is the advantage of RoRo ships, which are fast and easy to load and unload.

The Great Britain sailed from the island nation, while the New Mexico arrived here from Los Angeles across the Pacific Ocean. The departure time of New Mexico was already more than three months ago, and if it wasn't for a direct flight, I'm afraid it would be another month to arrive.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that the cargo on these two giant ships was yours."

Wade sighed softly, and in just half a year, he saw with his own eyes that this abandoned wharf and the wasteland over there had been transformed into a thriving foreign trade wharf and a tractor factory with a large production workshop and a second large production workshop under construction.

In the two ro-ro freighters alone, nearly 60,000 tons of cargo were loaded. If all of them were used to carry cars, the two ships could carry tens of thousands of cars. But Wade knew that only some of them were cars, and the rest of the groceries and small industrial machinery accounted for more than half of the weight.

Li Lu looked at the Great Britain and the New Mexico, but he was thinking about when he would be able to own such a freighter, and said to Wade helplessly, "This is the reason why I need to borrow." All my money was spent on these two boats, and it was only enough to pay the deposit. ”

"What you're telling me is that you don't have foreign exchange." Wade laughed.

Li Lu shrugged his shoulders, just smiled and didn't speak.

Of course, there is no foreign exchange, Li Lu uses Huaxia currency to pay - Jack has basically become his person, and the Mitsui company represented by Mitsui Nohara has no other choice, so they can only accept Huaxia currency settlement. However, Li Lu has already asked Yu Jiahao to start preparing for the establishment of a Hong Kong company, and this aspect of the problem will be solved at that time.

At nine o'clock, two V33 off-road vehicles with headlights on were speeding towards the Red Star Pier, and the pillars of light swept up and down along the bumpy roadside.

Li Lu and Wade turned to face over.

The two dark green V33 off-road vehicles that drove over belonged to the commuter vehicles of the Red Star Factory, and they were specifically assigned to the Security Section. At this moment, two cars are carrying important people. At the berth of the pier, a fishing boat was parked there and had been waiting for a long time.

V33 braked the car, and as soon as it stopped, Zhang Weiwei got down from the co-pilot, opened the door of the back seat, and dragged the people inside.

Four captured Soviet servicemen were members of the crew of a 2S3 self-propelled gun.

Wade saw the four Soviet servicemen, and their eyes were shining. It took a lot of effort for Li Lu to quietly bring these four people back, because they were not technicians, and he didn't know what role these people could play in his hands at that time, but his sense of professionalism made him think that these Soviet soldiers must be controlled in their hands and may be of great use.

That's where it comes in.

Li Lu didn't even need to know what Wade wanted these people to do, he knew it in his heart. Wade's family is all over the military, political and business circles in the United States, and what happened to Li Lu, who was born in intelligence work, couldn't analyze Wade's purpose for asking these Soviet soldiers.

In this respect, no amount of money is indeed comparable to four living active soldiers of the Soviet army.

Zhang Weiwei and Zhao Xu led the two groups to Li Lu and Wade.

Wade walked over, inspected them one by one, nodded with satisfaction, Li Lu waved his hand, Zhang Weiwei and Zhao Xu escorted these people over, and more than a dozen crew members of the New Mexico freighter came out of the fishing boat and handed over to Zhang Weiwei and them. All the personnel were sent to the fishing boat, and the fishing boat moved slowly towards the New Mexico.

At this point, the agreement between Li Lu and Wade was basically completed.

Wade looked at the time and said to Li Lu, "Volkswagen Investment Company will receive the payment of five million dollars in an hour, but I still think that there is no need to go through the account of Volkswagen Investment Company, and directly entrust Ford Financial Company to pay for the goods for you, and you can save some handling fees." ”

Li Lu shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay. The manufacturers on the list are ready for what I need to be shipped, and it will take some time, so I still have the money in hand for a rainy day. ”

Wade reminded, "Lu, this loan is earmarked, and if you embezzle it, such as buying stocks, Ford Financial will hold you accountable." Even if that's not a big deal, then you won't be able to come up with the money, not only will the goods be detained, but the public investment company will be accepted according to the terms of compliance, and you will be saddled with huge debts. ”

"Don't worry." Li Lu didn't say much, but changed the subject and said, "Mr. Wade, how long will you stay in Huaxia?" ”

Wade thought for a moment and said, "I've been here for the last two years, and I've just been appointed as the technical director of the Dove for Peace Ground Defense Cooperation Program. ”

"That's great news, congratulations." Li Lu was overjoyed.

Wade smiled and said, "And the president is looking forward to being in the Lugang area, I have officially submitted an application and decided to hire you as a translator for my work." ”

Li Lu smiled and said, "No problem, but the salary should be paid in US dollars." ”

"Hahaha!"

The two stood on the pier and laughed and talked for more than ten minutes, until the fishing boat docked the New Mexico, and then dispersed.

Lin Peisen was already waiting in the office yard of the Red Star Factory. Li Lu was going to take him, Lin Peisen was very talented in mechanical repair, if it wasn't for Guo Hanwei's side, Li Lu would have arranged him into the Red Star Factory. Therefore, as long as he drives for a long-distance maneuver, Lin Peisen must definitely bring it, as long as it is not a major mechanical problem, there is no problem with him.

The LC80, which had been hung up on the first plate, was carried out for three days in the hands of Lin Peisen, conducting a comprehensive inspection and carrying out the necessary modifications. With the experience of his last trip to Luoyang, Lin Peisen knows very well which aspects of the vehicle are most important in the case of a long journey.

After loading a few large boxes and loading personal items, Lin Peisen lit a cigarette and stood there waiting. He didn't know that the three big suitcases in the car were full of money.

After Li Lu, Zhang Weiwei and Li Jiahua arrived, the four of them got in the car and set off overnight with 2 million cash.
