340: Tang Kingdom in 1984
Rumble!
On the rough sea, a 38-meter-long medium-sized cargo ship rides the wind and waves.
This freight ship was obviously not from a regular way. It has no number on the hull and is painted blue, which looks the same as the color of the sea from a distance.
Logically speaking, such illegal ships that are not registered will definitely be intercepted if they enter the coast.
But it was unobstructed all the way. Even the water police in charge of the coastline saw it and pretended not to see it.
"The ship we use to transport cargo is a standard medium-sized offshore cargo ship with a length of 38 meters, divided into two layers, with a load capacity of 480 tons.
We use it to transport home appliances, which can transport about 150 units at a time, and two ships, and there are 300 units at a time.
The boat sets off from Huangshi Beach in the outlying island area, passes through Shenzhen Bay, and goes directly to Dongwan, and goes ashore in a small fishing village in Yisha District.
Our dealers in Handong will receive goods on the shore. After these home appliances are in their hands, they will be sent to Shen Zhen, Dongwan, Shanfo, Menjiang, Shanzhong, Zhouhui and other places. As for how to sell them, we don’t care, that’s the dealer’s business.
We can earn HK$650-800 for each washing machine and refrigerator.
The most popular one is the TV, one can earn 1,000 to 1,200.
Sometimes we also get some motorcycles, which are good things, especially those of Yamaha. The profit of one can reach more than 3,000 yuan.
I have thought before that when we become stronger, we can get some cars over.
A car can earn more than 100,000 yuan, and a hundred cars can earn more than 10 million yuan. That is really making a lot of money."
Standing on the cargo ship, Mai Cheng talked to Lin Yao about his plan.
Lin Yao listened one by one, and at the end he frowned and waved his hand, "Don't think about car smuggling, and the motorcycle has also stopped, so don't continue."
"Why, it's very profitable!"
Mai Cheng couldn't understand it a little.
Lin Yao took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know how much tariffs should be added to a foreign car?"
"I don't know very well." Mai Cheng shook his head.
Lin Yao replied: "45%, a Mercedes-Benz worth one million Hong Kong dollars will be priced at 1.45 million from customs to sales.
If you smuggle a Mercedes-Benz, it will be equivalent to saving the customs tax of HK$450,000, and one hundred units will be 45 million.
You are digging for tariffs. As long as you do it, you will never know that many people will die at that time."
Mai Cheng's plan is very good and profitable.
But through his plan, Lin Yao suddenly thought of the Yuanhua case.
In just six or seven years, Yuanhua Group evaded taxes up to 30 billion yuan. At the time of the incident, 14 people were shot in the first instance alone, and 39 people were shot in the second instance.
Mai Cheng is not doing business, it is clearly a traitor.
Lin Yao likes money, but he cherishes his life even more.
Smuggling some home appliances can also be said to enrich people's lives. In addition, they earn a small amount of hundreds or thousands of yuan, so the above may not be concerned about you.
If you play big, that's another matter.
There are ten heads that are not enough to cut.
"It's not that serious, right?" Mai Cheng asked guiltily.
Lin Yao shook his head and said, "I hope it's not that serious, but I know very well that this matter is probably even more serious than what I said."
Before Mai Cheng could say anything, Lin Yao waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop thinking about it. Smuggling appliances is just the way for us to earn our first pot of gold. When we accumulate a certain amount of capital, I will come up with a second plan."
The smuggling business cannot last long. With the continuous acceleration of reform and opening up, there will be a lot of opportunities to make money later.
Lin Yao came back this time and wanted to see the market and the policies.
You really let him do smuggling for the rest of his life, to be honest, Lin Yao is unwilling to accept it.
"arrive!"
As night came, the cargo ship docked outside a small fishing village.
The headlights flashed into the village, and soon a sensational sound came from inside.
Lin Yao stood at the bow and looked at them, and saw countless villagers driving small fishing boats and rowing towards them.
Mai Cheng directed the sailors on the boat to use cranes to lift home appliances one by one, put two home appliances on each small fishing boat, and then let the fishermen send the home appliances back to the shore.
150 home appliances were quickly sold out.
The person who pulled the appliances smiled, while the person who didn't get it was sad.
Lin Yao noticed that among a group of fishermen, there was a 14 or 15-year-old girl who was crying sadly because she didn't grab the appliances.
"We are smuggling boats and cannot enter the port because we have a deep draft and cannot dock. We can only ask these fishermen to help transport the goods.
We give them ten yuan for one home appliance, and two units cost twenty yuan.
According to the current exchange rate, if 1 Tang currency is exchanged for 3.5 Hong Kong dollars, they can earn about 507 cents per trip.
At this stage, the formal workers in the factory only cost about 45 yuan a month, and they earn more money to help us pull two electrical appliances every day than the factory.
In this way, they will not only ship our goods, but also provide cover for us, so both sides will take their needs."
Noting Lin Yao's expression, Mai Cheng took the initiative to explain why they were like this.
Lin Yao nodded slightly. Life in his hometown is not easy now. He said he could eat enough, but in fact he was only limited to eating enough.
Not to mention that you can’t bear to add oil when cooking, you can only eat some meat during the Chinese New Year.
"Brother Yao, let's go down, I'll take you to meet those dealers."
Mai Cheng said, shouting to the fishermen: "Come a boat and take us ashore."
"I, I!"
The crying girl came to her spirits when she heard Mai Cheng's words.
Mai Cheng hesitated a little: "Girl, can you do it? What about a few people here?"
"Okay, my boat is stable."
The girl supported the fishing boat and shook it hard under the boat ladder.
"Brother Yao, look..."
Mai Cheng turned to look at Lin Yao.
Lin Yao looked at the knife and teapot behind him, calculated the weight of the four people, nodded and said, "Let's go."
The fishermen's small fishing boats are the most ordinary small wooden boats.
As soon as Lin Yao and the other four went up, the draught of the hull suddenly walked down two squares.
"Everyone is sitting firmly."
The girl seemed very happy, and supported the oars hard, and took Lin Yao and the other four to the shore.
Seeing her trying hard to hold on, Lin Yao couldn't help but say, "Where are your parents, why did you let yourself come?"
"My father went out to work and broke his legs. My mother ran away by herself. Now I and two younger brothers are left at home."
The girl pretended to be smiling and rowed the boat hard.
From Lin Yao's perspective, the girl's hair bun was pressed on her forehead because of sweat, and her little face was even more red, like a ripe apple.
"How old are you?"
“16!”
When Lin Yao heard that the girl was 16 years old, he felt disbelief on his face.
She looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, not like the 16-year-old Jade.
"Huang Yatou's family is a bit special. The whole family depends on her to support her. In other words, we have come in the past two months and bring her some extra income. She was not full before.
Of course, Huang Yatou has a baby face and looks smaller, and looks like the 14th and 15th Five-Year Plan.”
Mai Cheng noticed Lin Yao's expression and explained to him in a low voice.
Lin Yao nodded secretly when he heard this, and then asked, "Girl, since your father was injured in work, has the superiors not given compensation?"
"I gave it, I gave it three hundred yuan at a time, but after going to the medical expenses, I actually couldn't leave anything left."
The girl replied while docking the small wooden boat.
Lin Yao took people off the boat and looked at the girl wearing a plaid cloth dress that was obviously larger, perhaps transformed from her mother's old clothes. She showed a hint of sigh on her face: "If you don't reform, the people will have no way to survive!"
For work-related injuries like this, not only will the medical expenses be reimbursed in the future, but there will be hundreds of thousands at one time.
And even if it is a state-owned enterprise, it can receive another sick leave salary.
Now, I have a broken leg and I will give you three hundred yuan.
How can this make the family live?
If a family and a wife are separated, who should take the blame?
Lin Yao was in a heavy mood. Huang Yatou's experience was also a microcosm of this era.
