Chapter 56 Smuggling in Hong Kong

"Is the smuggling of contraband goods just a ship full of goods that are prohibited from being sold to the mainland and North Korea and sent directly to Shenzhen or Macau?" Chu Xiaoxin thought that according to Song Tianyao's description, smuggling contraband goods alone can make more than ten dollars a month. Wan, it is rare to ask the question of smuggling.

Song Tianyao shook his head: "Of course it is not that simple. Although drugs are not taxed, they are under the supervision of the Industrial and Commercial Administration during the period when the goods are in the warehouse. When the ship goes to sea, it is stated that it is to be the target of the big sky two. Of course, it is not possible to go to sea with full cargo. It is best to call the ship under the banner of a certain shipping company. The first ship will cross the sea to deliver the goods together."

Hong Kong is now doing a lot of smuggling of prohibited goods. Without it, the profit is high enough. If goods of 1 million Hong Kong dollars are shipped to the mainland, depending on the goods, they can make a minimum of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. If it is gasoline, rubber, or Western medicine. Category, the profit will be higher.

There are two types of smuggling in Hong Kong. One is to form their own fleet. For example, Lei Yingdong, the first Chinese in Hong Kong, is now engaged in the business of prohibited goods. As long as Macau or Shenzhen issues a list of required goods He will take care of all the rest. Whether it is to find the source of goods or form a fleet, it must be done properly, and the quality is high. Compared with many Hong Kong Chinese businessmen who are shoddy and difficult to make a fortune, it is more trusted by Macau and Shenzhen. At this time, he was already regarded as a patriotic businessman by the mainland.

However, Song Tianyao is not optimistic about this approach. It is not that he does not have the courage and courage of Lei Yingdong, but that he can't wait for Lei Yingdong so long. Because of the Korean War, Lei Yingdong helped deliver the prohibited items. At the beginning of the decade, he was suppressed by the British Hong Kong government and the British consortium for 20 years. It was not until the Sino-British treaty was signed in the mid-1980s that after Hong Kong's return in 1997, Lei Yingdong really turned over and became Hong Kong in one fell swoop. The first Chinese, once gained power, gave power to Xiangjiang.

Although the mainland asked him to select the chief executive, this kind of scenery has attracted the envy of countless Chinese godfathers in Southeast Asia.

The other is to find a British company to give away a portion of the smuggling profits and smuggle under the banner of a British company. This is much more convenient. First, the local marine police will not check the British company’s ship. Second, it is really exploded. When smuggling prohibited goods, British-owned companies are also leading the way. The British Hong Kong government has always kept its eyes open to the smuggling of prohibited goods by British-owned companies. There will be scary scenes like Lei Yingdong's fleet being chased by the Hong Kong Marine Police and the British Army in Hong Kong with machine guns.

There are a lot of people in each of these two smuggling methods. Some large merchants join together to form a fleet to break through the customs, and there are also small and medium-sized chambers of commerce that only have one and a half ships. In order to avoid trouble, give up some profits. Affiliated to the British company.

Song Tianyao is going to choose the second one. What he needs now is to make money safely. He doesn't plan to get good impressions from Macau and Shenzhen now. The most important thing is that he can't cheat Chu Xiaoxin and himself now because he uses Lei Yingdong. This method does not need to wait for the British Hong Kong government to come forward. It is estimated that Chu Xiaoxin’s old bean, Chu Yaozong, will be able to clean up himself.

There are many ways to show good things to Macau and Shenzhen. Lei Yingdong is obviously the best one. All-in-one will naturally make Macau and Shenzhen remember his name. In fact, there is another way to ensure the quality of the goods and not to increase prices. .

Why was it that dozens of hundreds of businesses in Hong Kong participated in the smuggling of prohibited goods during the Korean War, but only Lei Yingdong was remembered by the mainland and he was promoted to power in the future, and why was he only suppressed by the British Hong Kong government and the British consortium? Showcase is the first point. The second point is that the British Hong Kong government is very willing to see Hong Kong make money from the mainland, but it does not really want to see Hong Kong provide prohibited goods to the mainland.

Therefore, at that time, whether British-owned companies or most Chinese businessmen were shoddy, they were charging high prices. A whole ship of gasoline could be mixed with one-third of the water. The medicines were all expired medicines or counterfeit medicines, and the rubber was all defective. Inferior products, steel and iron are all broken copper and broken iron.

The Hong Kong colonial government is very willing to see the use of tatters to defraud the mainland banknotes. For the mainland, these businessmen are all making money from the country. If they are not liquidated in the future, they will be regarded as open.

The happiest thing in the smuggling business of prohibited goods is actually these British-owned companies. These companies all exist on paper. Often the corporate legal persons are the wives or other family members of senior officials from the Hong Kong colony. , It’s just to provide a name, but each ship has to account for 5% to 7% of the profit.

"The most important point is that in addition to the buddies and coolies, the firm must have a principal to go to sea with the ship." Song Tianyao looked at Song Tianyao: "Is the principal of Likang firm that goes to sea? Only me."

Chu Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment: "Is there any danger? Just let the people of Fu Yixing go to sea if there is danger."

"There are so many commercial banks in Hong Kong, large and small, and every one of them goes to sea. In addition to the person and the ship with the prefix, someone must go to the chief to deliver the goods and check the payment. There will be no bank transactions for smuggling. All are in cash. The person in charge must determine the number and bring the money back to the boss. I will not do it. Do you think someone in the firm is willing to go to sea? If the wind and waves are calm and stable, they can make more than 20% of the profit, then Hong Kong will do it all. Smuggled, riches and honors are spurred out."

Whether it is affiliated with a British company or learns from Lei Yingdong to form a fleet, in fact, the risk is the same after going out of Hong Kong waters. The special looting crew at sea will not care that the logo on the ship belongs to the British company. Still Chinese businessmen.

Moreover, these big days will not rob cargo ships that go to sea from Hong Kong to deliver goods, but lurch in the waters near Macau or Shenzhen, and rob cargo ships that return with money after delivery. They only grab cash, not cargo. If they resist, the entire ship will be robbed. Kill all, if you obey, you can leave the people on board a way to survive.

The weapons and equipment of these big day two are only slightly inferior to the anti-smuggling ships of the British navy stationed in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Marine Police. Shen.

Almost all the fleets involved in smuggling prohibited goods, including Lei Yingdong, Chu’s family, and Cai’s family, have been looted by Day Two. Cargo ships under the flag of British companies have also been looted many times. The British government in Hong Kong was even prepared to issue bonuses to reward these Kuomintang soldiers.

In this case, the principals of various commercial firms who **** the ship to sea are all the boss’s cronies, most of whom bear the title of secretary or steward. This kind of person, when they meet the big day at sea, is the owner of the entire ship. The backbone of man, he decided the fate of the entire ship in one word.

A word-breaking word not only refers to breaking the embargo, but also breaking the big day two.

In order to allow the principal to bring back the payment for himself, all the firms involved in embargoed smuggling in Hong Kong and Macau at that time offered such a price. Any principal who escorted the ship out to sea could participate in the firm's year-end profit distribution.

Song Tianyao’s title of secretary at this time is obviously inadequate. Needless to say, compared to other Chu’s secretaries, I’m afraid in the eyes of Chu’s family, even Chen A’s eleven people from the rivers and lakes are more trustworthy than him, and they want to get enough. To get more trust, escorting the ship to sea is the only option.

How many young Toshihiko who came out of the academy, after working in the firm, all started by escorting the ship out to sea.

Zheng Yutong joined Chow Tai Fook Gold as a fellow of Chow Tai Fook’s boss Zhou Zhiyuan Lang (son-in-law is equivalent to his son-in-law, and his son-in-law). At first, he was disdainful. Hong Kong's gold speculation trend was booming, and the whole Hong Kong gold company was in short supply of gold. Zheng Yutong went to Macau alone. He purchased two thousand taels of gold and hired a small speedboat. The two men sneaked into the sea late at night to reserve supplies for Chow Tai Fook for three consecutive months. This was appreciated by his father-in-law. Later he took charge of Chow Tai Fook and became the king of gold and diamonds in Hong Kong.

Ho Hongsheng worked as secretary of the Macau Lien Chang Commercial Bank and escorted the ship to the sea for the entire year. He almost lost his life. In exchange, the Lien Chang Bank paid a dividend of 1 million at the end of the year.

Even Lei Yingdong, who was born in the Imperial College, had to go out to sea with the fleet every time. Under the double blow of Da Tian Er and the Hong Kong Navy, he still insisted on going out to sea in person to accumulate his contacts and contacts. wealth.

Any successful man must have courage in addition to his mind and ability.

God can give you a chance to fight for wealth. If you miss it because you don't have enough courage, you can't blame your luck.

"I heard that the big day two on the sea is very fierce. If the cargo ship is robbed, it doesn't matter. Just give them the money. You won't be too bad luck. It is impossible to bump into them every time." Chu Xiaoxin was a little moved. Song Tianyao said.

In his opinion, even if Song Tianyao refused to go out to sea, he would not force the other party to stand up, but Song Tianyao himself took the initiative to help solve this problem, which is another feeling.

"It's still early to go to sea, the ship is not ready, and the goods are not arranged. Even Macau and Shenzhen don't know what western medicine is needed. It will take at least half a month to go to sea." Song Tianyao said with a smile to Chu Xiaoxin.

Ford 49 stopped at Lu Yu Teahouse. The two of them boarded their old positions under Wu Jinliang's greetings. After two cages of dim sum and a pot of Pu'er were delivered, Chu Xiaoxin sent Wu Jinliang to help call Fu Yixing's restaurant Jinya Lei. Come.

After the box door was closed by Wu Jinliang outside, Chu Xiaoxin picked up a rose bean paste bag and took a bite, and asked Song Tianyao: "Do you want me to help you out? How about knocking on him? Help your sister. Thousands of dollars for soup and medicine? Or knock on a few gold bars for you to reward the singer?"

"Fifteen gold bars, less letters, if you knock it down, I guess Jin Ya Lei will soon become a panty. Unlike Chen Ashi, who is cared for by the Chamber of Commerce, Jin Ya Lei needs money to open his way. , And if you spend too much money, it is easy for someone in the gang to be unconvinced and make trouble for him." Song Tianyao helped Chu Xiaoxin poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said disapprovingly.

Chu Xiaoxin looked at Song Tianyao and said in a disbelief tone: "Are you really not angry? Didn't Fu Yixing almost tied your sister's head?"

"The anger has gone out. One of the people who provoke my sister was immersed in the sea by the Golden Tooth Thunder Bubble, and the other is estimated to be scared crazy now, and the rest of his men have also been chopped down by the Fateful Horse, not to mention the Golden Tooth now. Lei didn’t know that I gave you the fifteen gold bars. He always thought I had swallowed these gold bars, so he helped him plead. Xiaoxin blinked his eyes and said.

Chu Xiaoxin hesitated uncertainly, and seemed to be a little awakened: "Should it be?"

"Fuck you, do you think Jin Ya Lei will come to see Xin Shao you bae empty-handed? Don't be so naked for the benefit. Jin Ya Lei is not an idiot. Naturally, I will prepare a copy for you. If you see me pitiful, you can also come. Give it to me in time." Song Tianyao said to Chu Xiaoxin with a greedy smile on purpose.

Chu Xiaoxin waved to Song Tianyao: "Don't think about it, even think about my benefits. Hey, speaking of it, how beautiful are the singers who rewarded a whole gold bar? Is it worth your gold bar?"

"Are you interested? I introduce you to you? The one you've seen is the one that Taibai Seafood Boat played the pipa all night." Song Tianyao took a sip of the tea and said to Chu Xiaoxin.

Chu Xiaoxin immediately said, "I understand what's happening on the court. A gentleman doesn't take advantage of others. Besides, you are my secretary. How can I steal the pretty girl you like, but vaguely remember how old you are."

"A little more mature, you can buy her out of the street with at most three or five gold bars. It's like Chen Zhudi, you don't see you take her to the hotel to open a room for tens of thousands of dollars." Song Tianyao shot back Chu Xiaoxin's ridicule with a smile. .

"Puff~" Chu Xiaoxin spouted a sip of tea. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and turned his head and sprayed it on the ground. He didn't help Song Tianyao who was opposite to wash his face with Pu'er tea water, regardless of the gentle image: "You didn't take her out of the street with a gold bar. Is she inlaid with gold?"

"Wow~ dignified Master Chu family, your words are so vulgar? Fortunately, I didn't hear it." Song Tianyao deliberately said to Chu Xiaoxin.

The two chatted about women in the box for a while. It wasn't that Song Tianyao was not doing proper work, it was mainly because his boss was not doing proper work and talking about business topics. Without a few words, he would definitely take the initiative to return to the happy scene.

After more than an hour, Wu Jinliang knocked on the door outside, Song Tianyao cleared his throat and signaled that Chu Xiaoxin, who was waiting for Song Tianyao to tell a salty wet joke, put away the frivolous expression, Chu Xiaoxin took a few deep breaths, making his face dark. After coming down, Song Tianyao said, "Come in."

The door opened, Wu Jinliang stepped aside, and Jin Yalei walked in with a few packages of gifts behind him. He was still wearing a long gown and looked like Chen Ashi.

"Brother Liang, you can go ahead and work on the matter first." Song Tianyao waved his hand at Wu Jinliang, and Wu Jinliang closed the door and backed out.

At this time, Chu Xiaoxin was sitting on a chair and looked up at Jin Ya Lei, who was grinning but didn’t know how to open his mouth. The first sentence after opening his mouth was: "You are the one who almost sent Ah Yao’s sister to the Kowloon Walled City. Bar?"

Jin Yalei looked at Song Tianyao in amazement, wondering if it wasn't this Secretary Song who refused to do anything after receiving the benefits. The most exaggerated is that he is still going to pursue that matter, right?

"Xin Shao is joking with you." Song Tianyao smiled at Jinya Leihan as he almost seeped out of this sentence.

Chu Xiaoxin patted the table, and continued to shout to Jin Yalei with a serious expression: "I'm not laughing! Do you think I owe Ah Xiong a favor, so you can blatantly move my people? Believe it or not, I won't give you business. You do, let Axiong guard the pond for the first time?"

Song Tianyao rolled his eyes. Fortunately, Yan Xiong had already gone to Sha Tau Kok now, otherwise he would have the thought of hanging himself when he heard his boss's words.
