Chapter 686 Cuban Cigars
This made Zhao Lei a little flustered, and couldn't help asking Gonzales: "We are going to Cuba secretly? Can't we enter the country through the normal procedures?"

Gonzalez smiled slightly at Zhao Lei and said, "No, follow the normal procedures, Cuba will not let me enter the country at all!"

Seeing Gonzalez's "honest" smile, Zhao Lei could only shake his head and remain silent.God knows what this guy did in Cuba to be banned from entering the country.This made Zhao Lei a little suspicious, whether he had found the wrong person.

Seeing Zhao Lei's hesitation, Gonzalez comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, I take this route often, and I am very familiar with it, and it will definitely be fine!"

It was too late to regret it now, Zhao Lei jumped on the speedboat without much hesitation.Gonzalez followed closely behind. As soon as the two got on board, the captain started the engine, drove the speedboat to turn around slowly, and then drove quickly towards the depths of the sea.

Although the sea looked calm, the small speedboat was still very bumpy after moving forward at full speed.

But Zhao Lei didn't feel anything about it, he just sat on the bow of the boat and looked at everything around him with great interest.

Gonzalez said to Zhao Lei with admiration: "I have brought many people to Cuba, and no one is as calm as you!"

Zhao Lei asked him with a smile: "What are those people doing in Cuba?"

"Basically, I buy good Cuban cigars, and sometimes I bring some out myself and sell them to those rich Yankees." Now the two are really on the same boat, and Gonzalez didn't bother Zhao Lei concealed it, but instead asked him with a smile: "How about it, are you interested in Cuban cigars?"

Anyone who knows a little bit about cigars knows that Cuban cigars are very famous, and in the eyes of many people, they are even the best cigars.This also made Zhao Lei feel that it might be a good way to make money if he got some Cuban tobacco leaf seeds and brought them back for planting.

So Zhao Lei didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded and said: "Since everyone is here, let's go and have a look. It would be even better if you can buy some local tobacco seeds."

Gonzalez nodded and said: "No problem, since you are my client, I will try my best to satisfy you!"

As Gonzalez said, Cancun is very close to Cuba.After the speedboat drove in the dark for more than an hour, Zhao Lei saw a shadow of land on the sea ahead, and Cuba was already in sight.

The speedboat quickly approached the land ahead, and the captain was obviously very familiar with the terrain in this area, so he quickly drove the speedboat to a small calm bay, allowing Zhao Lei and Gonzalez to wade ashore.

"Look, didn't we go ashore smoothly?" After the speedboat left, Gonzalez smiled and said to Zhao Lei: "So I said don't worry at all, absolutely nothing will happen!"

Gonzalez is not bragging, he is indeed a veteran of this line of work.The two walked less than 500 meters in the dark, and saw a broken car parked on the side of the road, which came to pick them up specially.

The car took the two of them to a nearby town, and Gonzales took Zhao Lei to stay in a hotel familiarly. It was not yet midnight.This also made Zhao Lei nod secretly, the [-] US dollars for hiring Gonzalez was indeed worth it.

Early the next morning, the two set off in a car driven by a local to Crystal Mountain, the origin of Hojue coffee.

Gonzalez told Zhao Lei that all Hujue coffee is produced there.All the coffee plantations on Crystal Mountain are strictly controlled by their bosses, and the outflow of coffee seeds is strictly prohibited, lest new competitors appear and have an impact on Hujue Coffee.

Knowing the situation, Zhao Lei couldn't help frowning and said, "If this is the case, how can I buy coffee seeds?"

"It's me!" Gonzalez smiled mysteriously at Zhao Lei: "As long as there are people, there will be loopholes. Don't worry, I guarantee that you can get what you want, otherwise I'm embarrassed to charge you so much money!"

As the car continued to drive, Zhao Lei found a large area of ​​crops planted on the side of the road.Although he is also a farmer, he doesn't know these crops and has never seen them in the Jiangnan area before.

After asking Gonzalez, Zhao Lei found out that this is tobacco leaf, the raw material of the famous Cuban cigars.

"The best Cohoca Black Dragon cigars are made from the tobacco leaves grown on this land." Gonzalez told Zhao Lei: "Every Cohoca Black Dragon cigar is made entirely on the lap of a young girl. Made by hand, it can be sold for three thousand dollars in the international market!"

Zhao Lei was surprised and said, "A box of cigars sells for three thousand dollars? That's really not cheap!"

Gonzalez glanced at Zhao Lei, with an expression of "you really have never seen the world", and shook his head to correct his statement: "It's not a box of three thousand dollars, but a carton of three thousand dollars!"

Unexpectedly, a mere cigar can be sold at such a high price. Zhao Lei became more interested in Cuban tobacco leaves, and asked Gonzalez with a smile: "You said on the boat that you can get tobacco seeds, is this the tobacco leaf?" ?”

Gonzalez said with confidence: "Of course, my principle is either not to do it, or to do it as best as possible. Since you want to buy tobacco leaf seeds, of course you have to buy here!"

While the two were talking, the car slowed down, turned from the road into a small road, and soon came to a small village.

As soon as the car drove to the entrance of the village, Zhao Lei smelled a strong smell of tobacco.In the open space of the village, tobacco leaves are drying everywhere, and many villagers are cutting tobacco leaves, cutting the dried tobacco leaves into similar shapes and sizes.

Seeing a car driving into the village, several villagers put down their work and came up to meet them.They obviously knew Gonzalez very well, and when they saw him, they smiled and chatted in the local dialect.

Gonzalez chatted with the villagers for a few words, and soon told Zhao Lei: "They said that it is okay to buy tobacco seeds. It costs 1000 or [-] US dollars per kilogram. They are all freshly harvested goods, and the germination rate will definitely not be low. If you If you think it is acceptable, you will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.”

For Zhao Lei today, this small amount of money is nothing at all, and he quickly agreed, saying that he would buy two kilograms of seeds.

Seeing Zhao Lei's straightforwardness, the local tobacco farmers also smiled and nodded at him, and soon brought a bag full of tobacco seeds.Gonzalez weighed it with a spring scale that he carried with him, and it weighed a little more than two kilograms.

Zhao Lei simply counted out [-] U.S. dollars and handed it to Gonzales, and Gonzales pulled the villagers aside to pay.Although Gonzalez deliberately took the peasants far away, he still couldn't hide it from the sharp-eyed Zhao Lei. He easily spotted the tricks of this guy when he paid.
