Chapter 157 The Great Shift
Hong Kong's Deep Water Bay, Mid-Levels Villa Area.
Song Yiming stared at Zhu Daolin's eyes quietly, and after a while, he gave Zhu Daolin an idea: "The import and export supervision in Indonesia is not effective, and there are many loopholes. ”
"But the premise is that you must complete the payment with the seller in advance, and then take the bill of lading provided by the seller, and then find a cargo ship that can carry 20-foot containers to the high seas, and unload the entire container before the cargo ship carrying silver enters Hong Kong waters."
"I can handle all these things for you, but in the end, you still have to be transported, right? Where you're going to ship is the most critical question. ”
"That's right...... Can it be delivered to a deserted island south of Hong Kong? Zhu Daolin asked.
Song Yiming was stunned: "Your people are so good? Can they get it on a desert island? ”
Zhu Daolin had no choice but to reply: "There shouldn't be any problem, but I need to be there and tell them the destination, it's just ...... My people don't want to meet strangers, can they deliver their goods to some desert island, and then the other people's ships will leave immediately? ”
"It's best to do it in the middle of the night, and if I can do that, my people will be able to easily transport it away without alarming anyone."
"Are you sure?" Song Yiming asked again in disbelief.
Zhu Daolin nodded confidently: "I'm sure!" As long as I put it at my designated location, I can transport even 120 tons! ”
Song Yiming slowly stood up and looked at Song Shaojun on the side, who was full of concern: "Did you hear it?" Since he is willing to do so, I can only help him...... However, I still have a lot of confidence in this kid, and they can bring these large antiques to this place without even noticing. Presumably, a dozen tons of silver is not too difficult for them. ”
"When I go back, I will help him contact the seller in Hong Kong and ask the seller to send someone to run with him, and I can't guarantee whether they can ship the goods back safely in the end."
Song Shaojun was anxious: "Isn't this very dangerous?" It's the beginning of April, and it's going to be stormy soon, so what if you get a lot of wind and waves? ”
"Don't worry. Shaojun, my people are very familiar with the surrounding sea conditions, they have their own boats, and there will be no problems. Zhu Daolin comforted.
"No, no, no! Even if you pay more tariffs, I can't let you take the risk. "Song Shaojun didn't give an inch.
Zhu Daolin had a headache, and simply turned to Song Yiming, who was smiling and watching the excitement on the side: "Mr. Song, please, it's decided!" ”
Song Yiming smiled slightly, agreed, said "wait for my call", and walked to several old experts waiting in the living room. Tell the bodyguards to carry the boxes and return to Repulse Bay.
The reason why Song Yiming agreed so readily is because this kind of smuggling is completely commonplace in Hong Kong, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it can be facilitated by spending a little money.
Moreover, Song Yiming speculated that there must be a group with good abilities behind Zhu Daolin, and this group was either Zhu Daolin's comrade-in-arms when he was in the army, or a mysterious Taoist figure, so he was not worried.
This may seem like a problem. But for Song Yiming, it's just a matter of mouth. I can't afford to let such a trivial matter affect the long-term cooperation with Zhu Daolin, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Zhu Daolin and them have an accident, it has nothing to do with him Song Yiming.
Seeing off Song Yiming and his entourage, Song Shaojun returned upstairs angrily.
Zhu Daolin hurriedly went up to explain and comfort, and only after saying that his mouth was dry did he let his aunt and grandmother get up. hugged his waist tightly and asked everything, and then he accompanied Zhu Daolin to check the map with half a doubt, speculating that the seller entrusted by Song Yiming would deliver the goods on which island in the south of the Hong Kong waters, and no one had the heart to go shopping.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Song Yiming personally led the seller to the Ocean Park Pier in Deep Water Bay to meet Zhu Daolin. told Zhu Daolin that he had paid the payment, and the balance was transferred to Zhu Daolin's account, and then introduced the short, fat and bald seller to Zhu Daolin.
The seller surnamed Li was very shrewd and personable, shook hands with Zhu Daolin with a smile, said two polite words full of Hong Kong flavor, and introduced the sturdy man with dark skin and no smile behind him to Zhu Daolin:
"Boss Zhu, this is my buddy called Ah Chao, he will drive the boat to accompany you to Mosquito Tail Island later, he is familiar with several small islands over there, 5,000-ton cargo ships can easily berth, and deal with the shipowner to him to do, you only need to be responsible for inspecting and receiving the goods, haha! I heard you Uncle Song say, you drink a lot of alcohol, and when you come back smoothly, I invite you to go to Fortress Hill to eat roast goose and have a good drink, how about it? ”
Zhu Daolin thanked him politely, took the initiative to shake hands with the swarthy and sturdy Ah Chao, and then pulled the worried Song Shaojun aside and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, there will be nothing wrong, I will come back in three days at the latest, and I will accompany you well then." ”
"You must be more careful, you really can't come back immediately, I'd rather not have the silver, but also come back safely!" Song Shaojun's eyes were red, and Zhu Daolin didn't even tell her the destination, how could he not let her worry?
Zhu Daolin kissed her lightly, smiled and walked to the dock, boarded the twin-engine speedboat piloted by Ah Chao, and sailed away from the gently choppy deep water bay.
Song Shaojun put his hand on the crook of his uncle's arm and asked very worriedly, "Dao Lin won't be in danger, right?" ”
Song Yiming comforted: "Don't worry, with his skills and the strength behind him, he can still do this little thing, not to mention that Mosquito Tail Island is only fifty kilometers away from Deep Water Bay, and he can receive the goods at about ten o'clock in the evening at the latest." ”
"I guess he and his men will break up boxes of silver ingots, and then drive two or three speedboats along the coast to the east, unload the cargo somewhere in the Chaoshan Sea, and then transport it by land to another place, and when the goods are ashore, nothing will happen to him."
Song Yiming said so, in fact, he had already discussed with Boss Li, after the 3,000-ton cargo ship of Boss Li's company unloaded 12 tons of silver onto the desert island, Ah Chao would not return directly, but drove back for several kilometers and then bypassed, hiding behind another desert island a kilometer to the north, observing Zhu Daolin's every move, and seeing who drove what ship to pick up the goods.
To Song Yiming and Boss Li's disappointment, they only expected half of what happened on Mosquitotail Island.
At 11:40 p.m., Ah Chao, who was waiting a kilometer north of Wenwei Island, suddenly felt that something was wrong after a heavy fog, and drove a speedboat to Wenwei Island, where he had unloaded 12 tons of silver half an hour earlier, and was shocked to find that everything was gone.
Shocked, Ah Chao immediately called back and reported to Boss Li and Song Yiming, who were doing massage: "Not long after the goods were unloaded, the sea began to fog, and the whole island was shrouded in fog, and a few lights flashed in the middle, I felt that it didn't seem right, so I drove the boat to the unloading place, and when I got closer, I found that there was nothing on the shore, no people, no goods, only the flashlight I gave to Mr. Zhu before I left was still on the stone mountain by the water......"
