Chapter 382: Build up connections
After confirming that Liu Ping'an didn't have any extra ginseng, the group packed up their stuff and left. When they left, they also told Liu Ping'an that it was not so easy to take his money, and if he knew what was good for him, he would better return it to him.
In this regard, even Liu Pingan, who was far away in the city of Sijiu, showed deep disdain. Humph, it's still unclear who will get into trouble.
After the group of people left, the manager of the auction house picked up the phone in the room and called the person in charge of the auction house and reported what happened today truthfully.
Liu Ping'an's incarnation Xiao Xuan was not in a hurry either, he just sat on the sofa in the room and slowly read the Playboy magazine. Not to mention, the girls who can appear in the magazine now, whether in terms of appearance or figure, are all very good, plus the photo editing technology is not as advanced as before, so the person is still authentic.
After a while, the manager who was in charge of connecting with Liu Pingan came with the person in charge of the auction house to apologize to Xiao Xuan. He started with a lot of nice words like "I'm sorry" and "Excuse me".
However, Xiao Xuan did not react at all until he had finished reading the magazine in his hand. Then he said slowly, "Forget it. Things have come to this. There is no point in apologizing."
I don't have any more thousand-year-old ginseng, but I do have a few hundred-year-old ones. I wonder if the wealthy Hong Kong people who participated in the auction today have left? If there are any who haven't left yet, please ask the manager to introduce them to me.
"Okay, okay, this is great. Although the auction is over, there are still many people in the banquet hall."
"The three old Chinese doctors from Hong Kong Island haven't left yet. They are also in the banquet hall. I'll go and inform them now."
"My last name is Wang, you can just call me Manager Wang."
"I still don't know what to call you, sir?"
"Xiao Xuan."
Since I have been discovered, I might as well announce my identity openly. I can take this opportunity to get acquainted with the wealthy people in Hong Kong Island.
Although I may not have many social contacts in the future, it does not affect the fact that I have one more friend and one more way to go. This will still be of great help to me in doing business in Hong Kong Island in the future.
As for the group of people who just threatened me, I'll take a look. I have already given them location marks. The most important thing is that there are also location marks on the thousand-year-old ginseng. Through this line, it will be easy to find the real person behind the scenes.
If the local gangs are really rude, I do know a little bit of fighting skills.
In the inner city, the sun has already set and the sky is gradually getting darker. However, thanks to the improvement of urban construction, the street lights are not as good as those in Hong Kong Island now, but the inner city is not much different at this moment. The street lights rising from the ground and the bright light they cast can still guide everyone home late at night.
However, the large group of people in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang were now dressed neatly and walking in an organized and disciplined manner towards the outside of the city. They were like thieves, very cautious, fearing that they would be discovered.
The three uncles of the original courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, were among them, but they all followed Xu Damao and walked towards the outside of the city.
Tonight is the day when a batch of electrical appliances ordered by Xu Damao in the south will be delivered. These are all smuggled goods from outside, without going through customs or reporting taxes. Naturally, they have to be transported secretly at night when people are off work.
At that time, there was no mobile payment, and the goods were delivered at the same time as the money. The briefcase in Xu Damao's armpit contained the payment for the goods today, which was nearly 100,000 yuan.
Don't underestimate this 0.77 yuan, which was 300 yuan in the early s. According to the basic price at that time, a pound of pork that didn't eat feed was yuan. If we convert it to the feed pigs that are slaughtered in a few months now, it is roughly equivalent to million yuan now, which is already a lot.
This money included not only the retirement money of these families, but also the profits from the business in the past few years. Only then did they persuade and persuade them to order more than 300 black-and-white TVs and some color TVs.
The cost of a TV is about 280 yuan. If it is sold at the market price, it can make about yuan, a full 30% profit.
It is worth it for these people to take the risk and smuggle the goods at the risk of being caught.
Although the crime of speculation and profiteering has withdrawn from the stage of history, it is still an embarrassment to the customs and tax authorities. If you are caught by someone, there will be no room for negotiation when it comes to confiscating your stolen goods.
As for what to do with such great stolen goods? Of course, they sold them internally at a low price and used them as benefits for their employees.
"Da Mao, do you think nothing will happen to us this time?" Yan Bugui asked anxiously.
Everyone has arrived at the place agreed upon in advance, but the time has come and the person from the other side still hasn't shown up.
"Oh, my third uncle, can't you say something auspicious now?"
"Besides, we are paying for the goods first and then receiving them."
At this point, Xu Damao patted his wallet under his armpit and said, "Our money is still here. At worst, we can just give up this deal today."
"Yes, yes, Damao is right, Old Yan, stop thinking about it here." Liu Haizhong flattered him after hearing this.
Among this money, apart from Yi Zhonghai, his family contributed the most. In the past few years, although Xu Damao took a cut, his family also received a lot of money, several thousand yuan, which was almost catching up with his previous savings.
This time, Liu Haizhong invested all the money in his family. In fact, he was no less worried than Yan Bugui at this moment.
"Oh, don't worry. Everyone involved in this transaction has arrived today. They are all waiting to share the profits after these TV sets are sold."
Just as everyone was talking, the buzzing sound of a car engine was heard in the distance.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing. Listen, a car is coming. Everyone hide first."
This was the first time for Xu Damao and his team to do this, so they had no experience. But it didn't matter, they would gain experience after doing it a few more times.
However, the person who delivered the TV was indeed very experienced. After getting off the car, he followed the agreement on the phone and meowed a few times. This was the street code they had arranged in advance. After Xu Damao heard the signal, he responded with three meows.
Good man, you guys are acting like a spy meeting, aren't you afraid that the security department will misunderstand you?
