In front of everyone, Wang Ning made a detailed plan, including who would be responsible for shipping, who would be responsible for transporting the goods, who would be responsible for the checkpoints, and who would be responsible for guarding the goods.
After the assignment was completed, everyone was asked to go back and start preparing immediately. Soon, only the Lu Chuan brothers, You Tianfu and Hao Zhengguang were left in the office.
The previous discussion was just a rough outline. Now that everyone has dispersed, only the brothers remain, representing the true core distribution. Although Yi Youtianfu and Hao Zhengguang's status is not yet at the level of participation, Hu Jicheng treats them as his own, so Lü Chuan doesn't care too much.
Sitting at his desk from the conference room, Wang Ning's expression became even more cautious. "Let the brothers handle the chores, but the detailed work has to be done by us. The dock is large and crowded, and Wenshan Commerce's eyes are everywhere. I've already planned it. When it's time to ship, the three of us, Hu Zi Liuzi, will go, and Brother Dao, you stay at the dock and command. As long as the goods are shipped and we get paid, Wu Bangzi will be left with nothing but rage!"
Hu Jicheng frowned. "We still don't know the details of the Taiwanese businessmen. After all, they are foreign investors. Wang Ning, you can't even swim. If anything goes wrong, no one will take care of you."
Wang Ning stroked his mustache and laughed dryly, "If you can't swim, then don't jump in. You and Liuzi are good at fighting, but you have no skill at talking. If I don't use my eloquence, how can I get the goods delivered?"
Lu Chuan also nodded and said, "You can go without worry. You have to make money, but safety is also the first priority. Bring more people with you, just in case!" After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at his friends Tianfu and Hao Zhengguang: "When the time comes, you two will follow me!"
For this matter, the entire auto trade company was making intensive preparations. At the same time, Lu Chuan also secretly sent people to pay attention to the movements of Wenshan Trading and Wu Feiyue, but everything seemed normal and they did not seem to notice anything unusual.
Soon it was the evening of three days later. Before it got dark, everyone was already on standby at their respective positions. There were three large containers filled with brand-name liquors. Hu Jicheng and Ma Liu acted as the left and right guards to command the entire process. They called in a medium-sized cargo ship, transferred the containers on board, and sailed out to the reserved location in advance.
Before leaving, Hu Jicheng gave an "OK" sign on the deck, and Lü Chuan also waved from the dock. Ma Liu and Wang Ning parked on the other side of the cargo ship, watching the anchor slowly being pulled up. A trace of worry crossed Wang Ning's face. "I don't know why, but I'm always feeling anxious. Liuzi, don't you think this is going a little too smoothly?"
Ma Liu grinned. "We've been preparing for half a month, so how could it not go smoothly? Don't say anything unlucky about shipping the goods out of the port, just roll up your sleeves and get to work. This time, our Brother Dao has caught Wu Bangzi off guard. After the delivery, just wait and see. I can even imagine Wu Bangzi's furious face!"
Watching the cargo ship gradually disappear into the dark sea, Lu Chuan's heart actually began to fluctuate a little. Indeed, he also felt that this matter was too smooth, even smoother than a normal delivery.
After frowning and looking at it for a moment, he took out his cell phone and called Lao You. After a few rings, the call was connected: "Brother Dao, how is it? Is everything going well?"
Lu Chuan didn't say much, chatting briefly before hanging up. Hearing Lao You's voice, he felt a little relieved. He then called You Tianfu and Hao Zhengguang over from a distance and pointed toward the northwest corner of the dock. "Go through that container area, and in the northwest corner is the hidden post at the dock. That area is Wenshan Commerce's territory. It's low-lying, nestled in a depression, and the surrounding area is obscured by containers, making it almost impossible to see from a distance."
According to Wu Bangzi's original plan, they would soon conduct business with Taiwanese merchants there. However, I observed for a long time and didn't see any large trucks entering or leaving. So there are only two possible scenarios. Either Wenshan Trading has already sent the goods to a secret warehouse and is waiting for the transaction. Or, their plans have changed, and their transaction location may not be here at all!
You Tianfu responded with an analysis: "Old You's information is always accurate. Since they said the transaction would be conducted at the dark post, Wenshan Trading shouldn't rashly change their plans. But Brother Hu also mentioned before that the guys at the docks have been keeping an eye on the dark post for the past two weeks, and there really aren't any large quantities of goods coming in or out. Could it be that Wenshan Trading also purchased this batch of goods from overseas, used the dark post as a transit point, and then sold it to Taiwanese businessmen, profiting from the difference?"
Lu Chuan shook his head. "Impossible. This batch of goods is extremely valuable. Apart from Wenshan and Daqin, no one in the entire Lujiu City dares to take it. Foreign merchants will not rashly ship goods into Lujiu City. That would only bring trouble."
The two of them were talking back and forth until Hao Zhengguang, standing next to them, grew impatient and waved his hand, saying, "Now we're just wondering if there's any goods in the secret cellar. That's easy. We can just run over and take a look and we'll know. Brother Dao, your brothers have a lot of connections, so it's not convenient. Brother Tian and I don't know many people, so let's go over and take a look. We'll know what's going on in the secret cellar!"
This was exactly what Lu Chuan meant. He told the two of them the approximate route of the secret post and asked them to go and test the other side's strength.
The two of them did not hesitate. Since no one knew each other anyway, they chose a less traveled route and strolled towards the hidden post.
On the sea, the cargo ship arrived at the designated location half an hour ahead of schedule and saw another cargo ship hovering on the sea in the distance. According to Lao You's description, it was the cargo ship of the Taiwanese businessman who came to trade.
After getting in touch with the other party, the two cargo ships docked successfully, and Wang Ning and Hu Jicheng boarded the other party's ship. The boss on the opposite side was indeed a Hong Konger, in his forties, with a wide mouth and nose. He spoke with a heavy accent and a strong nasal sound, and greeted them with a smile when he saw them.
Wang Ning introduced himself and immediately handed over the sample wine in his hand, expressing his intention, hoping that the other party's boss would change his purchase intention based on quality and price and purchase from him.
The Taiwanese businessman was very professional. He took the wine in his hands and examined it carefully, stroking the almost flawless imitation label and nodding repeatedly. Then he unscrewed the lid, took a sip, and praised it with amazement: "Not bad, the quality is impeccable. In that case, we can load it up!"
The Taiwanese businessman was so straightforward that everyone was stunned. Wang Ning leaned forward and said, "Boss, don't you want to discuss the price?"
The Taiwanese businessman waved his hand and said, "I believe you will give the most suitable price. I don't have any other advantages, but I am straightforward. My people will load the goods outside, and your people will go inside to count the money. Let's go!"
Wang Ning had prepared a lot of arguments and even made repeated concessions, but the Taiwanese businessman's reaction was unpredictable. He had no choice but to obey the other party's instructions and enter the cabin to calculate the payment based on the cargo volume and price.
Ten minutes later, the Taiwanese businessman finished inspecting the goods and Hu Jicheng finished counting the money. When both parties finally calculated the amount, they found errors in the import and export volumes.
Wang Ning frowned as he looked at the three full containers on his ship. "Boss, wasn't your previous purchase plan for three containers?"
The Taiwanese businessman waved his hands and smiled bitterly: "One box is already a slap in the face, three boxes...don't be ridiculous..."
