The birth of "red oil" originated from the development of trade on Hong Kong Island and the British demand for port taxes.

In essence, it is to stimulate Hong Kong and island trade with certain "welfare", so as to increase shipping taxes and earn better profits.

There is no problem with this policy, and the shipping on Hong Kong Island is indeed getting bigger and bigger, and the tax is getting more and more... But some people can't help but think crookedly and take advantage of the benefits of the diesel policy...

Use the "red oil" mark to dye the preferential diesel red to prevent sales through other channels.

This method has achieved certain results, at least it has stopped the sale of oil through formal channels, but it cannot stop the "oil theft" through smuggling channels.

This method of "stealing oil" is generally to buy off the ghosts in the diesel company, secretly transport oil out, or use the identity of the leather bag company to directly apply for the port's share of "red oil".

Then the "red oil" obtained at low cost is dumped into other countries and regions at a price higher than the cost price and lower than the international market price.

Due to the huge demand for diesel business, there is no need to find a buyer at a cheap price, and the profit is quite considerable and huge.

Among the two modes of oil stealing, the former is a low-end "fuel guzzler" and the latter is a high-end "fuel guzzler".

Huo Qingsong's "red oil business" is actually "smuggling diesel" and "smuggling low-cost diesel".

Zhuang Shikai understood as soon as he heard it, picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, and continued to look at Huo Qingsong: "Go on!" ”

He vaguely remembered something......

I seem to have heard Huo Qingsong's name?

At that time, Ah Qi listened to his instructions, found a street boy from the mainland, let him do a desperate and ruthless thing, and then handed over the fledgling "red oil" business to him.

It's just that Zhuang Shikai hasn't seen Huo Qingsong in person, and he doesn't know the relationship between Huo Qingsong and Chen Xijiu, he has only heard it once or twice in Cai Yuanqi's mouth, and his impression is not very deep, and he is not very memorable.

Huo Qingsong was naturally not qualified to meet "Zhuang Ye", and waited until Chen Xijiu was released from prison to get into a relationship, and when he had to use the relationship, he dared to ask Chen Xijiu to match and introduce him.

The so-called "just from the mainland" is a pretext, and he can do the red oil business as soon as he does it now, and he is also a role with some means.

It seems that Huo Qingsong must have encountered some trouble in becoming the "King of Red Oil", and wants to ask Zhuang Ye to help him get some people...

Zhuang Shikai knows it in his heart.

Huo Qingsong continued: "Recently, the mainland has been striving to develop industry, and the port throughput in Fujian and Guangdong is also increasing, and the demand for diesel is huge! ”

"It's so big that it can't be supplied domestically!"

"And buying diesel from abroad, first, the cost price is high and the transportation fee is expensive? Second, economic blockade? Unsafe ...... at sea"

"At this time, the red oil in Hong Kong Island is cheap and affordable, which is a great benefit for domestic coastal cities!"

"So I shipped the red oil back to China and sold ......"

After Huo Qingsong finished speaking? Raise your head and look at the look of "Zhuang Ye"? Seeing "Zhuang Ye" bowing slightly, revealing his approval? I calmed down a little.

Does he know that Zhuang Ye is a staunch "Chinese" faction and has a good impression of the mainland? So you have already made a good draft? It's very beautifully said.

Right? Actually, it's very true!

At present, China is in a period of rapid industrial development and Hong Kong Island trade growth, and the demand for diesel and oil is not ordinarily large!

Moreover, the current domestic maritime military forces are weak.

Do you think it will be decades from now?

Calling aircraft carriers to go to sea every year, conducting exercises in the South China Sea and the Pacific at every turn, and escorting ships in Somalia from time to time to combat piracy?

Not a single aircraft carrier at the moment? The international situation is extremely serious? Even the WTO is not eligible to join, and it will be intercepted at sea every three or five times!

In this case, only the development of the head is the last word!

But if you want to develop, you need diesel!

Whether it is diesel or oil, it is the energy base of industrialization!

International oil transportation is really dangerous and expensive, every line is a lifeline, and every barrel of oil is a strong country oil.

In this way, it seems that the special "red oil" of the ghosts is shining with revolutionary light? Like a red flag waving in the wind?

Secretly eating the welfare of the ghost guy! Cheap and close! The Hong Kong Island community also includes transportation! Are you cool?

In a way? Huo Qingsong is a "patriotic boss" who does things that are beneficial to the country.

Pity? He is also essentially a "smuggler" who makes money for himself.

Just for the sake of the times, to give him a good reason to smuggle? It also made him very "safe" for the time being.

If he can advance bravely in the future, he may be able to keep his fortune. If you don't understand? From the Red Mansion? The collapse of the Red Mansion? It's another rolling red dust road.

I saw Huo Qingsong holding a cigar? Spread out his hands, he said quite angrily: "But the Fuqing Gang, the New Righteous Group, and the New Territories An three companies are stealing business with me. ”

"Forget it if they steal my share! And they sell oil to Tokyo and Southeast Asia, and don't supply blood to our mainland! ”

"You say they're ruthless!"

Huo Qingsong picked up his cigar again, and scolded angrily: "Do you say that these people didn't have children?" Just because the price abroad is more expensive, damn, they all forgot what their mother's surname is! ”

Huo Qingsong didn't know if he was angry that he didn't make any money, or because other gangs would sell oil abroad, but he looked really angry anyway.

Zhuang Shikai roughly understood what he was doing when he came to him, gently flicked the cigarette ash into the glass jar with his fingers, stared at him in an unpredictable tone, and asked with a smile: "Qingsong, are you very patriotic?" ”

Huo Qingsong's expression was stunned, and he immediately patted his chest and said highly: "Love! The director of the public security bureau said that I am patriotic! ”

Hehe.

This means that he has a strong relationship!

Zhuang Shikai nodded, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that his price is indeed very suitable, and he can make several cities in the mainland enjoy dividends." ”

Regarding the shortage of oil in China, Zhuang Ye naturally knew, and not only did he know, but Yang Jianhua also deliberately approached him and explained that the situation had helped him.

At present, several ships of the "Patriotic Chamber of Commerce" are running back and forth at sea, quietly helping the country to buy oil in the name of private individuals, and then sending it to the interior by the fleet.

These tankers carry oil and diesel, barely enough to ensure the industrial oil of several regions and support the development of several regions.

Therefore, Zhuang Shikai is very clear about this matter, knows the core inside, and plans to pull Huo Qingsong a hand.

Of course, the amount of red oil smuggled by Huo Qingsong is not large, and one or two coastal cities with support are about the same.

But over time, a small amount adds up to a lot, and a small amount is also a quantity, which is better than nothing.

If you can help Huo Qingsong win the whole cake of "smuggling red oil", it will be better for several coastal cities in Fujian and Guangdong.

"Huh." Zhuang Shikai sneered, raised his head and blew a cigarette, and asked with interest: "How are you going to be patriotic next?" ”

Huo Qingsong said: "The three associations jointly targeted me, blew up my oil truck several times, and let me hang up more than a dozen brothers, I just wanted Zhuang Ye to make a statement, so that I have the opportunity to continue to be patriotic and continue to build a shining ...... for the mainland."

Chen Xijiu said on the side: "The other three are thousand-person associations, and there are hundreds of people under Qingsong, and the family brothers and brothers in the same village who crossed the sea and worked with him in the past. ”

When Huo Qingsong just got the cake of "Red Oil Business" from "Cai Yuanqi", it is estimated that few people would dare to provoke him, but after so much time, people on the rivers and lakes are not afraid of him.

The Hong Kong Island Police Force turned a blind eye to him, did not investigate him, and no longer covered him.

This caused Huo Qingsong's current situation to be very uncomfortable, so he could only come to ask Zhuang Ye to speak.

"Slurp." Zhuang Shikai picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Thousand people club? ”

He snorted lightly and smiled disdainfully: "It's just a small club!" ”

"But that's not patriotic enough!" Zhuang Shikai's words were amazing, and Chen Xijiu and Huo Qingsong were both startled.

I saw Zhuang Ye put down the teacup, looked at Huo Qingsong and said, "I want you to be more patriotic!" To love the country is to love hard! ”

"Twenty million!"

"You raise 20 million Hong Kong dollars and give it to me! I asked someone to send it to the ghost boss of the oil company, and you will get as much oil as you can in the future! ”

"What are those Fuqing Gang, the New Righteous Regiment, and the New Territories? I'll take care of it for you! ”

"In the future, the red oil business will be your monopoly!"

"This is called patriotism!"

Zhuang Shikai said very domineeringly.

Huo Qingsong's eyes widened, overjoyed, and said in disbelief: "Really? ”

"Really!"

Zhuang Shikai nodded.

This can exceed the purpose of Huo Qingsong and Chen Xijiu when they came.

Zhuang Shikai continued: "But I want you to never increase the price of oil supply to the mainland!" Can you do it? ”

This is tantamount to letting the mainland eat up the benefits of ghosts through "Huo Qingsong".

Of course, this is only the part that eats the port outflow, and the core of the port trade supply will not be exhausted, but the number is also considerable.

After all, the diesel company is not so stupid, all the red oil will be approved for you, the port will not be used, and sooner or later it will be found out and killed!

Therefore, they will control their own proportions, but all the benefits that should be eaten will fall into the belly of the state.

"It can be done!" Huo Qingsong immediately assured.

You know, although as oil prices fluctuate and rise, never raising prices seems to be a loss?

But Huo Qingsong's cost as a "fuel guzzler" itself is low, and the expansion of business can also reduce costs!

As long as you get the scale up and get the "license", are you afraid that you won't have any money in the future?

That's definitely going to be more and more money!

"Okay."

"I'll take care of this."

"But... I have a request......"

"Master Zhuang, say it." Chen Xijiu stood up and grabbed Huo Qingsong's arm, signaling him not to get carried away, and then asked respectfully towards Zhuang Shikai.

When talking about business matters, Chen Xijiu didn't dare to ask for it, whether he should be called "master" or "master".

"Huo Qingsong has to raise the 30 million himself! You can't take a stake! ”

Zhuang Shikai pointed to Chen Xijiu and said.

Chen Xijiu's expression was moved, and he nodded: "Understood!" ”

He knew that Zhuang Shikai was protecting him, and he didn't want him to be a whitewashed person who went ashore and get stained with unworthy black stains.

He is not bad for that money either, and he no longer needs to make money through "red oil".

It's just a layer of relationship.

At this time, Huo Qingsong's face was embarrassed and a little surprised, but in the end he obeyed: "Yes, Zhuang Ye!" ”

"Hmm."

Zhuang Shikai picked up the teacup again - send off!
