Chapter 242 Zhao Ruilong connects! Big D is on the road!
In the dimly lit meeting room on Hong Kong Island, Da D and Ah Lok sat side by side, facing Liang Lu and her right-hand man, Hua Ban Hu. The atmosphere was as solemn as the calm before a storm, and everyone had a thoughtful or vigilant look on their faces.
Big D was the first to break the silence. He leaned forward, with a flattering smile, and said respectfully to the spotted tiger: "Brother Tiger, you know that the situation in the world is unpredictable nowadays. We have to think of another way. Ale and I are thinking of smuggling meat, eggs and milk from the inland and dumping them in Hong Kong Island. This is a business that can make a lot of money." His voice was deliberately soft, but there was a hint of cunning and expectation in his eyes, and he kept paying attention to the changes in the spotted tiger's expression from time to time.
Liang Lu frowned slightly, as if thinking about the pros and cons. She gently turned the pen in her hand and said slowly: "This matter is not that simple. Although meat, eggs and milk are not as eye-catching as drugs, they are not without risks. Once they are checked, it will not be a joke."
There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes. After all, if you are not careful, you may lose everything when doing something that is on the edge of the law.
The spotted tiger snorted coldly and crossed his arms, saying, "Humph, your idea is quite bold. This is not a small amount of money, how can we just do it. If something goes wrong, we will all be in trouble."
His strong body swayed slightly in the chair, as if to show his deterrent power, and his eyes were full of worry about the risks.
Ah Le smiled at this time, and his smile was particularly humble. He quickly continued, "Brother Hu, Miss Liang, we have considered the risks. You see, this thing is in great demand in Hong Kong Island. As long as it is operated properly, the profit margin is huge. Moreover, we are willing to give you 30% of the profit."
Ah Le's smile was full of flattery, his eyes remained firm. He knew very well that interests were the key to moving people's hearts, and he bowed slightly after saying this.
When the spotted tiger heard the words "30% profit", his originally tense face couldn't help but move slightly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He unconsciously lowered his arms, leaned forward, and his voice became less tough: "30%? This is not a small number. However, we still have to carefully consider the risks."
His eyes moved between Big D and Ah Le, and he began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind, and his tone softened a lot.
Liang Lu also raised her head, and the hesitation in her eyes was obviously reduced. She tapped the table lightly and said slowly: "A Le, the 30% profit you mentioned is indeed very tempting. But we can't just look at the immediate benefits, we have to have a comprehensive plan."
There was a hint of seriousness in her eyes. After all, when it came to such a big business, caution was a must.
Jimmy had been sitting nearby observing everyone's reactions. He spoke at the right moment, with a warm smile on his face and a tone full of respect: "Brother Hu, Miss Liang, we and Liansheng have made up our minds this time. I think we can ask you, Brother Hu, to discuss this with Mr. Zhao Ruilong. Mr. Zhao is highly respected and knowledgeable, and he must have more experience and insights in this regard. Brother Hu, you go and tell him, and it will definitely work."
His tone was sincere, but there was a subtle calculation hidden in his eyes.
The spotted tiger looked at Jimmy, then at Liang Lu. Seeing Liang Lu nod slightly, he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Zhao right away, but I can't guarantee that he will agree."
After saying that, he straightened his clothes, walked aside and called Zhao Ruilong. His attitude was as respectful as a subordinate reporting to his superior.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, it's me, Tiger. Big D and Ale have a proposal. They want to smuggle meat, eggs and milk from the inland and sell them. They are willing to give us 30% of the profit. What do you think about this matter..."
The spotted tiger's voice unconsciously lowered, his tone full of awe.
Zhao Ruilong was silent for a moment, and then he said in a slightly embarrassed voice: "Hua Banhu, you also know the current situation. If I were still in Luzhou and Qi Tongwei was not here, I might still consider it. But now I am in a tight standoff with Qi Tongwei. If he finds out, it will be a big trouble."
Zhao Ruilong's tone was full of worry, as he was well aware of Qi Tongwei's tough attitude in combating organized crime and drug trafficking.
Seeing this, Jimizi quickly winked at Huabanhu, signaling him to continue explaining. Huabanhu understood and said more humbly into the phone: "Mr. Zhao, they said that Liansheng will take the blame. And their connections in the inland are not only in Handong, but also in South Vietnam, West Vietnam and other places. The coast guard has also been arranged, and they are dispersed from various places, so the risk can be minimized. Besides, this is just meat, eggs and milk. Qi Tongwei must be more concerned about drug trafficking now, and he won't care too much about these small businesses."
The spotted tiger tried to make things sound light-hearted, attempting to allay Zhao Ruilong's concerns.
There was another silence on the other end of the phone, and everyone stared at the tiger nervously, as if they could see Zhao Ruilong's expression through him.
After a while, Zhao Ruilong said slowly: "Let me think about it again. This matter is not that simple. I can't make a decision easily."
The spotted tiger hung up the phone and looked at everyone helplessly: "Mr. Zhao said he would think about it again. He is still a little worried."
Big D frowned, a little anxious but not daring to act rashly. He just whispered, "What's there to worry about? Such a good opportunity will be gone if you miss it." Although he had a bit of an impatient temper, he could only suppress his anger in such situations.
A Le patted Big D's shoulder and comforted him, "Big D, don't worry. It's normal for Mr. Zhao to be cautious. Let's give him some more time and work out a more reliable plan." A Le's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, but he still remained calm.
Liang Lu also stood up and straightened her clothes: "Let's do this for now. When Zhao Ruilong has some news, we'll meet and discuss it. This matter can't be rushed. We have to make sure it's foolproof."
After saying that, she left the meeting room with the spotted tiger.
A few days later, everyone gathered again, and the atmosphere was still tense. Huabanhu conveyed Zhao Ruilong's intention: "After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhao decided to let He Liansheng take the first order, and it must be a big order, at least one million. If it succeeds, you can continue to do it. If it fails, you can find someone to take the blame."
When Big D and Ah Le heard this, they looked embarrassed. Big D couldn't help but say, "One million dollars' worth of goods, this is a big risk. If something goes wrong, it's no joke."
Ah Le also agreed: "Yes, Mr. Zhao's request is not low."
Jimmy didn't hesitate, with a confident smile on his face, and agreed directly: "No problem, since Mr. Zhao trusts us, we will do what we say."
His eyes were determined, but in his mind he was thinking about how to use this order to further promote his plan and make Big D and A Le fall deeper and deeper on this dangerous path.
He was controlling the overall situation behind the scenes, waiting for the best opportunity to come.
By then, the entire underworld landscape of Hong Kong Island will undergo earth-shaking changes due to his planning, the forces of all parties will be reshuffled, and he will become the biggest winner in this changing situation.
In the secret beach house, Jiminzai and Gao Qiqiang sat opposite each other, the sea breeze blowing gently through the cracks in the old window, bringing a hint of salty and humid air. Jiminzai looked solemn but could not hide the excitement in his eyes: "Brother Qiang, Zhao Ruilong has agreed to let us transport a batch of goods worth a million to test the waters first. Success or failure depends on this. Have you arranged everything?"
Gao Qiqiang raised his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile: "Jimmy, don't worry. Fang Xinwu and I have already made a thorough plan. We are going to arrange three fishing boats to pretend to ship goods, hide the goods in the secret compartments of the freezer, disguise the pork as fish, and pretend to be returning from fishing. It will be seamless. Moreover, we have already colluded with the inland coast guard and the Hong Kong Island coast guard in advance, and they will definitely let us go all the way."
Jimmy heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes full of gratitude: "Brother Qiang, I feel more at ease with your words. As long as I succeed this time, Big D and the others will be completely trapped in my plan."
The day of shipment came quietly, and the night was like a huge black curtain, weighing heavily on the sea. At the dock, the dim street lights emitted a hazy light in the mist, casting shadows on everything around. The waves beat rhythmically against the rocks on the shore, making a "swooshing" sound, as if playing a prelude to the adventure that was about to begin. Jimmy stood at the dock, the sea breeze whistling over his body, and his windbreaker rustled. He looked firmly at his busy men carrying boxes of disguised goods onto the fishing boat, and his eyes revealed a hint of tension and expectation.
Big D also came to the dock with a few of his cronies. He frowned, with doubt and curiosity in his eyes: "Jimmy, will this really work? The sea is not our territory. If something goes wrong, it will be all over."
Jimmy patted Big D's shoulder confidently and said, "Don't worry, brother. Everything is under control. Brother Qiang has taken care of everything. There will be no problem."
The fishing boat slowly left the port and sailed into the dark and boundless sea. The sea was surging and the fishing boat was shaking violently with the waves, like a leaf that could be swallowed at any time. Jimmy stood at the bow, the sea breeze cutting his face like a knife, but he was unaware, his eyes were fixed on the sea in front of him. Big D was in the cabin, fidgeting, and from time to time he walked to the deck, looking at the vast sea around him, muttering: "This damn place is really creepy."
Suddenly, a coast guard patrol boat appeared in sight, its lights flashing a dazzling blue light, cutting through the dark sea. Big D's face turned pale in an instant, and he nervously grabbed Jimmy's arm: "Jimmy, the coast guard is here, what should I do?"
Jimmy was calm and composed. He patted Big D's hand and said, "Don't panic, brother. Just look at me."
The coast guard patrol boat approached the fishing boat, and a coast guard shouted: "Stop and check!"
The fishing boat slowly stopped, and Jimmy came up with a big smile on his face: "Sir, we are fishermen who went out to sea to fish. We just came back from fishing. Look." As he said that, he signaled his men to open a freezer, which contained neatly stacked, seemingly fresh fish.
The coast guard casually shone a flashlight around the boat, his eyes lingering on the freezer for a moment, and then asked, "What kind of fish did you catch?"
Jimmy replied calmly: "Sir, they are all common sea fish. There are plenty of fish in this season and the harvest is good." As he spoke, he turned the fish meat with his hands and showed it to the coast guard. His skillful movements were like those of an experienced old fisherman.
The coast guard leaned forward to take a look, sniffed, and found nothing unusual, then asked, "Are you carrying any contraband?"
Jimmy handed over the credentials and documents he had prepared long ago, and said with a smile: "Sir, we are all law-abiding fishermen. How dare we bring in contraband? Look, here are our sea records and fishing licenses."
The coast guard took the document, glanced at it briefly, looked at Jimmy and the nervous Big D and others behind him, then waved his hand: "Okay, let's go."
Big D looked at the back of the Coast Guard patrol boat going away, breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Jimmy, you are really good! You can handle this."
Jimmy smiled and said, "Brother, I told you, everything has been arranged."
After the fishing boat successfully docked, the cargo was quickly transported to various places under Heliansheng. At this time, the sky was slightly white, and the dawn light was sprinkled on the earth. In Heliansheng's casino, the lights were still flashing, and the guests were playing fiercely at the card table.
The goods were quietly transported to the back kitchen, where the staff skillfully took out the pork and began to prepare various delicacies. In the hotel's restaurant, the waiters were also busy preparing meals and processing the pork into exquisite dishes.
In bars and KTVs, people who have been partying all night are still intoxicated, and this pork will become part of their snack menu.
In the brothels, the madams directed their men to properly store the pork and prepare to provide delicious meals for the guests.
Big D followed Jimmy closely, watching the goods being distributed in an orderly manner. He was shocked by the scene before him.
Half of the goods were sold to Heliansheng's casinos, hotels, bars, KTVs, brothels, etc. in just two and a half days. The remaining goods were sold out quickly in various restaurants.
"This... This is too smooth." Big D muttered to himself. He silently calculated in his mind that the cost of this batch of goods plus tolls and handling fees was only more than 300,000 yuan in total, but he made a net profit of 600,000 yuan.
Moreover, Jimizi also took the opportunity of going to the inland to expand his disc business. He did not use the traditional transportation method, but directly built a factory in the inland, transported the equipment there, and produced the latest discs.
"Jimmy, you're really smart!" Big D couldn't help but admire him. "Now I understand why you're not interested in gang affairs. Your business is much safer than drug trafficking. It's hard to sell large quantities of drugs in a short period of time. The risk is too great. But meat, eggs and milk are easy to sell. Although the profit is less than that of drugs, it's more stable."
