Chapter 351: Kent's Dream of Fortune (Part II)
Modern potions are only big and small, light in weight and small in size, and any person can carry a large number of medicines. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, the border area is closely guarded by the army, and the smugglers can only run from home to abroad at night, and the probability of being found is not small, so conditional smugglers will choose to smuggle from sea instead of land.
……
Zhao Hu used the money given by Kent to buy the drugs designated by Kent in the pharmacy, but the quantity purchased by Zhao Hu alone was limited, and the quantity was far from the minimum requirements of Kent.
So Zhao Hu found his own group of "little brothers", Zhao Hu recycled drugs at 150% of the price of the drug, Zhao Hu got the "little brothers" to see that it was so easy to make money, they helped Zhao Hu to buy medicine in the pharmacy, and even mobilized his family to buy medicine, in a short period of time, Zhao Hu hoarded hundreds of units (grains, branches) in his hands.
Zhao Hu was able to obtain so many medicines because the empire's restrictions on the purchase of medicines by the people were not too high, and if someone wanted to collect a batch of medicines, he only needed to mobilize the masses.
Zhao Hu soon took the medicine to Kent, and Kent gave Zhao Hu another sum of money to let Zhao Hu continue to buy the medicine.
Kent didn't just get drugs from Zhao Hu, Kent was also looking for two targets in the other two regions to buy drugs, a total of three people bought drugs for Kent, Kent quickly got a batch of drugs, and when the money was about to be spent, Kent stopped buying drugs, which made Zhao Hu a little disappointed.
Man's greed can never be satisfied, and he only wants more.
If Kent now successfully shipped all the medicines in his hands back to China, Kent felt that his assets would skyrocket to more than $100,000, and it would be a real fortune.
Able to go from an ordinary person to a small businessman with assets of nearly $10,000, Kent has his own shrewdness.
In the Chinese Empire, there were relatively few foreigners, and there was no need for the Ministry of Security to send people to monitor them, and every move of foreigners was clearly seen, and Kent could only try to hide his true purpose.
While Kent and Zhao Hu were trading medicines, Kent began to buy "specialties" of the Chinese Empire as a foreign businessman, preparing to ship them back to the United States for sale.
Later, Kent signed an agreement with the owner of a cargo ship that was scheduled to sail from Shencheng to the United States, and Kent loaded the goods and medicines he purchased through customs in batches and loaded onto the cargo ship.
The goods purchased by Kent are large and low-priced, so it costs more to pay for them, but the very small size of the drug can be secretly entrained, and it is difficult for customs officers to find out.
In this way, Kent successfully delivered batches of drugs to the cargo ship, and each batch of drugs was delivered to the cargo ship, and Kent's heart was much easier.
In a few days, the cargo ship is about to set sail back to the United States, and the last shipment of drugs in Kent is passing through customs acceptance.
In the process of acceptance, Kent, who was originally relatively stable, underwent some changes, and this experience of successfully accepting the goods made Kent slack off, and had some illusions in his heart, imagining that he returned to the United States with a large number of medicines, and countless people rushed to buy the drugs in their hands at high prices, and his wealth quickly increased to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the family lived a rich life since then.
Kent even thought that he had so much money that he could find a few young and beautiful people. People, living in a mansion and eating delicious food, this is the real life.
As Kent's fantasies grew, Kent's expression began to be a little excited, but Kent's years of habits made Kent seem a little quieter, but the customs staff noticed that something was wrong with Kent.
Kent has passed the customs acceptance with the goods many times before, which is obviously an abnormal phenomenon, both the customs and Kent will feel troublesome, and the other is Kent's expression that is not right now.
The customs officer reported the matter to the supervisor, who glanced at Kent, who was still in fantasy and his eyes were a little wandering, and then gave an order: check carefully!
Incidents of tax evasion and evasion often occur at the customs, and there are not a few incidents of entrainment of goods, and the higher authorities even demand that the customs offices in various localities strictly investigate the smuggling of medicines.
After receiving the order of the supervisor, the customs officers began to carry out a strict inspection of the goods in Kent.
At this time, Kent also woke up from his illusion, because before, it didn't take so long for goods to pass through customs, why does it take so long today?
Kent asked in Mandarin, which he was not proficient in, but did not get a satisfactory answer, and Kent was "groaning" in his heart.
"The yellow-skinned monkey can't be found, right?"
Now Kent can only pray to God, that the medicines entrained in the goods will not be found.
The customs staff over there were carefully searching the goods in Kent, but the size of the medicine was so small, how could it be easily found, and after looking for a while, they saw that there was no gain, and the staff did not give up.
In the distance, a staff member led a dog over, this dog is not an ordinary dog, but a specially trained smuggling dog, since the smuggling dog joined the customs, but has made a lot of contributions.
Under Kent's puzzled gaze, the staff led the smuggling dog to Kent's cargo, and the smuggling dog raised his head and sniffed the smell of the cargo.
In less than a minute, Kent saw the smuggling dog take a small bag out of the cargo, and Kent's expression immediately changed, because the small bag contained medicines.
Kent now had the idea of wanting to run away immediately, but there were customs officers all around, and there were people staring at Kent, how could Kent escape.
After customs officers discovered the medicines entrained in Kent's consignment, Kent's fate was already sealed.
Kent's dream of making a fortune was shattered.
Citizens of the Empire and foreigners alike were liable to a hefty fine for attempting to smuggle, and if the amount of smuggling was significant, they were sentenced to years of imprisonment according to the severity of the incident, and if they were unable to pay the fine, the smuggler was sentenced to hard labor, which was repaid until the fine was paid, and if the number of years of imprisonment had expired, he was released, and if he had not been sufficient, he was to continue to be imprisoned.
The drug smuggling incident in Kent involved a relatively large amount of money, and even the incident became the headline on the front page of an issue of "Shencheng Daily".
According to the amount of money involved in the Kent drug smuggling incident, it is expected that Kent will have to serve hard labor for the rest of his life, and only death can be relieved, and the three Zhao Hu, who helped Kent buy medicines, are not guilty, but confiscate the money they received from Kent.
