The Tuhe River, a boundary river located in the territory of the Heihe River, spanning the boundary between the two countries, and on one side of the boundary river is a county named after it. The importance of trains running between the two countries from here to another country on one side of the boundary river is self-evident.

With the rise of border trade in recent years, more and more risk-taking businessmen have also flocked to this border city. If you have the ability and guts, take a train directly from here to the territory of the polar bear country on the side of the Tu River.

Those who can't afford to get legal customs clearance can only stay here and trade with the polar bear traders who are also on the side of the Boundary River. Although the number of such transactions is small, the vendors who trade on both sides are very profitable.

After following Zheng Tie back to Ninggu to visit relatives, Mu Shanhe and his group of five people soon came to this small city. Relying on an old comrade-in-arms introduced by Hu Yong, Mu Shanhe and his entourage quickly found a foothold here and still rented a private house in the county seat.

Seeing the rented house, Zhao Zhicheng also smiled and said: "Mu Shao, every time we go out, it seems that we are renting someone else's house." However, the price of renting a house here is more expensive than that of the provincial capital, which is really surprising! ”

"It's normal! A large number of inverted masters poured in, compared to staying in hostels and guest houses every day, those inverted masters also knew the benefits of renting private houses. How much does it cost to rent a house compared to the income they earn?

For us, staying in a hostel may be more convenient, but it is also more eye-catching. Now renting someone else's house, we can do everything much safer. Next, we're going to start collecting some messages as well. ”

"Okay, Mu Shao, you can just command!"

"It should take some time to raise supplies. But our preliminary work must also be done well in advance. First of all, there is the problem of warehouses, and then there is the problem of manpower. As for the transaction, I'll arrange it then. ”

Faced with these things arranged by Mu Shanhe, Zhao Zhicheng also said directly: "Mu Shao, do you mean to continue to recruit people?" ”

"Yes! When supplies arrive, they must be guarded by reliable personnel. Although we have just come here, Team Zhou also told us before that the security problems here have been somewhat unreliable recently.

There must not be many people who blatantly grab goods. But privately, if anyone knows that we have shipped a large number of goods, do you think anyone will take risks? After all, that's million-dollar goods, isn't it? ”

"What does Mu Shao mean that we recruit people from the local area?"

To Zhao Zhi's sincerity, Mu Shanhe shook his head directly and said: "We just came here, and we are not familiar with the place, who dares to guarantee that the locals we find will not be compatible with the outside?" The people I want to recruit, you are responsible for recommending. ”

"Mu Shao means our comrades-in-arms?"

"That's right! As you may have heard, another large-scale disarmament has been carried out this year, and many of your old comrades-in-arms must have retired. Rather than recruiting locals, I prefer to trust your old comrades-in-arms.

The old rule, as long as your comrades-in-arms are willing to come, they will pay 500 yuan for settling-in or travel expenses. It's just that the time is pressing, and I will give me half a month at most. The probationary period includes food and accommodation, 100 yuan a month, and the bonus is calculated separately! ”

"Mu Shao, how many people can you eat?"

Seeing Sun Xuan's slightly excited expression, Mu Shanhe shook his head and said, "That's definitely impossible!" If you kid recruit the whole company, then I won't be able to raise it. Six places per person, can it be done? ”

"Yes!"

"Okay! If the conditions are truly poor, two more places may be given as appropriate. Although I know that this time I will make money in the border trade business. But if the expenses are too large, I won't be able to explain to Mr. Xu at that time, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Then start calling or sending telegrams to get your men together as soon as possible. If there is someone who can drive, then recruit first. Later, we will trade with the opposite side, and it is very likely that we will need a driver. ”

"Okay, Mu Shao!"

As Mu Shanhe said, in the 80s, the country was disarmed one after another, and a large number of veterans took off their military uniforms and returned to society. Although the state has given corresponding resettlement, there are still many veterans who are not suitable after returning to society.

If they knew that there was such a job with good pay and with their old comrades-in-arms, they would not refuse. As for coming to the frontier, in the eyes of these veterans, it is just a change of place to work.

In the following time, Mu Shanhe took Zhao Zhicheng and others to mingle in the ranks of those who did border trade, and occasionally came into contact with some polar bear traders. But in Mu Shanhe's opinion, the strength of those traders is very average.

To put it bluntly, those polar bear traders who trade across the border also come to pick up the cheap, and the amount of goods traded each time is not much. Both parties are naturally very happy about this kind of small transaction.

When he had nothing to do, Mu Shanhe would often invite Hu Yong's comrade-in-arms Zhou Wu to dinner and learn more about border trade transactions from him. For the border trade here, the above is actually turning a blind eye.

But the real big transactions often wait until the boundary river freezes. At that time, powerful buyers in the territory of polar bears would also bring funds or other materials to trade with domestic traders.

While busy learning about the market every day, Mushanhe also leased the material warehouse. The comrades-in-arms recommended by Zhao Zhicheng and others also arrived at Tuhe by train one after another and lived in the house rented in advance by Mushanhe.

But in private, Mu Shanhe asked Zhao Zhicheng to maintain relatively low-key contacts with those comrades-in-arms. At least on the surface, let people who are likely to pay attention to them not know that they are actually in a group.

When the first snow finally fell this winter, Mushanhe, which had arrived in Tuhe for more than half a month, also said in a timely manner: "Send a telegram to Mr. Xu tomorrow, and the first batch of materials can be shipped." We need it too, and we're starting to get busy. ”

"Mu Shao, who are we going to trade with then?"

"There's no hurry! It is said that rushing is not a business, as long as we have the materials in our hands, are we afraid that no one will take the initiative to find the door? Besides, do you really think that all this time, I am hanging around outside? ”

smiled mysteriously, and Zhao Zhicheng and the others didn't say anything. At this time, the heavy snow began to wrap the entire Tuhe River in silver. The Tu River, which was originally open, also began to slowly freeze, and after a few days, it will completely freeze.

At that time, the frozen Tuhe River, the thickness of the ice can even run on it. And at that time, this small border town will also be completely lively. But for Mu Shanhe, he needs to make some preparations in advance.

When the first batch of materials arrived at the railway station, Mu Shanhe directly asked Zhao Zhicheng to send someone to store the first batch of materials worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in the leased warehouse. The recruited security personnel were immediately stationed in the warehouse to guard them 24 hours a day.

Looking at the materials stacked in the warehouse, Mu Shanhe specially brought Sun Xuan and Wang Jianguo to say, "Have you all selected the people you asked you to choose before?" Again, do you really regret your choice? ”

"No regrets! Hehe, in fact, we prefer this kind of life. ”

"Done! Next, you move into a safe house. Throughout the transaction, I want you to take on covert protection and information gathering. When the deal is completed, I will not disappoint you. ”

"Thank you, Mu Shao!"

After saying this, Mu Shanhe directly took all the twelve team members selected by the two to the private house that had been rented in advance. Then from the rented house, he directly took out two marijuana bags and handed them to Sun Xuan.

And said with a serious expression: "Remember, these things must be kept properly, and they are not allowed to be used without permission until the critical moment." I am preparing these to ensure that when trading, I will not be hacked, can I do it? ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

Seeing the contents of the sack, Sun Xuan, Wang Jianguo and the others instantly brightened their eyes. Although they don't know, how did Mu Shanhe get these things. But with these things, they are really like tigers!
