340: Tang State in 1984
Thundered!
On rough seas, a 38-meter-long medium-sized cargo ship rides the waves.
The cargo ship was clearly not a regular one, with no number on its hull, and it was painted turquoise blue, the same color as the sea from a distance.
It stands to reason that such illegal vessels, which are not registered, will definitely be intercepted when they enter the coast.
But it went all the way unimpeded, and even the marine police in charge of the coastline would look away as if they didn't see it.
"The ship we use for cargo is a standard medium-sized offshore cargo ship with a length of 38 meters, divided into two levels, and a deadweight of 480 tons.
We use it to transport home appliances, which can transport about 150 units at a time, and 300 units for two ships and one round trip a day.
The boat departed from Huangshitan in the outlying island area, crossed Shenzhen Bay, and went straight to Dongwan, where it disembarked at a small fishing village in Yisha District.
Our dealers in Handong will pick up the goods on the shore, and after these household appliances arrive in their hands, they will be sent to Shenzhen, Dongwan, Shanfo, Menjiang, Shanzhong, Zhouhui and other places, as for how to sell it, we don't care, that's the dealer's business.
Washing machines, refrigerators, we can earn 650-800 Hong Kong dollars each.
The most sought-after is the TV, one can earn 1000-1200.
Sometimes we will also get some motorcycles, motorcycles are a good thing, especially Yamaha brand, and the profit of getting one can reach more than 3000.
I thought I would be able to get some cars when we were stronger.
A car can earn hundreds of thousands, and a hundred cars are more than 10 million, and that is really making a lot of money. ”
Standing on the cargo ship, Mai Cheng told Lin Yao about his plan.
Lin Yao listened sentence by sentence, frowned at the end, waved his hand, and said: "Don't think about smuggling cars, and stop the motorcycle, don't continue." ”
"Why, it's very profitable!"
Mai Cheng was a little incomprehensible.
Lin Yao took a deep breath and asked rhetorically, "Do you know how much customs duty will be added to a foreign car?" ”
"I don't know." Mai Cheng shook his head.
Lin Yao replied: "45 percent, a Mercedes-Benz car worth one million Hong Kong dollars, from customs to sales, the price will reach 1.45 million."
If you smuggle a Mercedes-Benz car, it is equivalent to saving 450,000 Hong Kong dollars in customs taxes, and 100 units is 45 million.
You are digging the corner of the tariff, as long as you do it, it is impossible for the above not to know, and many people will die by then. ”
Mai Cheng's plan is good and profitable.
But through his plan, Lin Yao suddenly thought of the Yuanhua case.
In just six or seven years, the Yuanhua Group evaded taxes as high as 30 billion yuan, and at the time of the case, 14 people were shot dead in the first instance alone, and as many as 39 people were shot in the second trial.
Mai Cheng is doing business, and he is clearly dying.
Lin Yao likes money, but he cherishes his life even more.
Smuggling some household appliances can also be said to enrich people's lives, plus the money earned is hundreds or thousands of yuan, and the above may not care about you.
It's a different story when you play big.
There are not enough heads to cut off.
"It's not that serious, is it?" Mai Cheng asked with some weakness.
Lin Yao shook his head and said, "I also hope it won't be that serious, but I know very well that this matter is probably more serious than what I said." ”
Without waiting for Mai Cheng to say anything more, Lin Yao waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't think nonsense, smuggling household appliances is just a way for us to earn the first pot of gold, and when we accumulate a certain amount of capital, I will come up with a second plan." ”
The smuggling business cannot last long, and with the continuous acceleration of reform and opening up, there are a lot of opportunities to make money in the future.
Lin Yao came back this time to see the market and the policy.
You really let him do smuggling for the rest of his life, to be honest, Lin Yao is unwilling.
"It's here!"
As night wore on, the cargo ship docked outside a small fishing village.
The headlights flashed into the village, and soon there was a boiling sound from inside.
Lin Yao stood at the bow of the boat and looked at it, only to see countless villagers driving small fishing boats and rowing towards them.
Mai Cheng commanded the sailors on the ship to use a crane to lift the appliances down one by one, placing two appliances on each small fishing boat, and then letting the fishermen return the appliances to shore.
150 appliances were quickly sold out.
The people who pulled the household appliances smiled, and the people who didn't grab them cried and mourned.
Lin Yao noticed that among the group of fishermen, there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, who was crying very sadly because she didn't grab household appliances.
"We are smuggling ships, so we can't enter the port because the draft is too deep to dock, so we have to ask these fishermen to help transport the goods.
For one appliance, we give them ten yuan, and two are twenty yuan.
According to the current exchange rate, 1 Tang currency is exchanged for 3.5 Hong Kong dollars, and they can probably earn five yuan and seven cents a trip.
At this stage, the regular workers in the factory only earn about 45 yuan a month, and they earn more than the factory by helping us pull two electrical appliances every day.
In this way, they will not only transport goods for us, but also provide us with cover, so both sides can take what they need. ”
Noticing Lin Yao's expression, Mai Cheng took the initiative to explain why they were like this.
Lin Yao nodded slightly, life is not easy in his hometown now, saying that he can eat enough, but in fact, it is only limited to being full.
Not to mention eating well, I am reluctant to put oil in cooking, so I can eat some meat in the New Year.
"Brother Yao, let's go down, I'll take you to meet those dealers."
As he spoke, Mai Cheng shouted to the fishermen, "Come on a boat and take us ashore." ”
"Me, me!"
The girl who was crying came to her senses when she heard Mai Cheng's words.
Mai Cheng hesitated: "Girl, can you do it, how many people are there on our side?" ”
"Alright, my ship is stable."
The girl propped up the fishing boat and rocked it hard to the bottom of the ladder.
"Brother Yao, look..."
Mai Cheng turned his head to look at Lin Yao.
Lin Yao looked at the knife boy and teapot behind him, calculated the weight of the four people, and nodded, "Let's go." ”
The fishermen's small fishing boats are the most ordinary small wooden boats.
As soon as Lin Yao and the four of them went up, the draft of the hull of the boat went down two squares violently.
"Everybody, sit tight."
The girl looked very happy, held the oars hard, and led Lin Yao and the four of them to the shore.
Looking at her struggling to hold the pulp, Lin Yao couldn't help but speak: "What about your father, why did you let yourself come?" ”
"My father went out to work and broke his leg, my mother ran away by herself, and now I and my two younger brothers are left at home."
The girl forced a smile and rowed hard.
From Lin Yao's point of view, the bun on the girl's forehead was even more red because of the sweat sticking to her face, like a ripe apple.
"How old are you?"
“16!”
Hearing that the girl was 16 years old, Lin Yao had disbelief on his face.
She looks like she is fourteen or fifteen years old, like a 16-year-old jasper.
"Huang Yatou's family is a little special, and the whole family depends on her to support her, that is, we have been here for the past two months, bringing her some extra income, and she couldn't eat enough before.
Of course, the yellow girl is baby-faced, and she looks relatively small, and she really looks similar to the 14th Five-Year Plan. ”
Mai Cheng noticed Lin Yao's expression and explained to him in a whisper.
Lin Yao nodded secretly when he heard this, and then asked, "Girl, since your father was injured at work, didn't you pay compensation from above?" ”
"Yes, I gave three hundred yuan at one time, but after the money went to the medical expenses, there was actually nothing left."
The girl replied as she docked the boat.
Lin Yao led people down from the boat, and looked at the girl wearing a painted plaid cloth dress that was obviously one size larger, probably changed from her mother's old clothes, and showed a little sigh on her face: "If you don't reform, the people won't have a way to live!" ”
Similar to this kind of work-related injury, not only will the medical expenses be reimbursed in full, but also hundreds of thousands of dollars will be given at one time.
What's more, if it is a state-owned enterprise, you can also receive another sick leave pay.
Now it's good, if the leg is broken, I'll give three hundred dollars.
How does this make a family live?
The family and wife are separated, who should carry this pot?
Lin Yao's mood was a little heavy, what happened to Huang Yatou was not a microcosm of this era.
