Chapter 496 Have you watched too many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies? (Update to pay off debt)
Xiawei Village is a village in the suburbs of Shancheng City. It is named because it is close to the sea and its coastline has a curved arc that looks like a shrimp's tail.
In the past, Xiawei Village was very poor. There were only a few hundred people in the village, but only a dozen or twenty fishing boats. They could not fill their stomachs even if they relied on the sea for food.
But since a few years ago, Xiawei Village, which lives by the sea, started a night operation business and suddenly became rich. Not only did they have good food and drink, but almost every family had a small Western-style house.
Lao Meng used to be from Xiawei Village. Although he has become rich and lives in the city now, he is still qualified to use Xiawei Village to do his own business.
When he saw the two brothers of the Guan family driving two donkey carts over, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Old Guan, since you have a relationship with Mr. Tong in Hong Kong Island, how come you can't even get a few cars?"
Guan Cihui smiled and said, "Isn't that because I didn't know Boss Meng before? He only has connections in Hong Kong Island, and no one in the local area can help him. So this business can't be done?
I hope Boss Meng can help me more and make this business last long."
"Long, long ...
Lao Meng laughed a few times, then changed the subject and asked, "Lao Guan, how did you get in touch with Mr. Tong? And how much are these two trucks of stuff worth?"
Guan Cihui said without changing her expression: "Mr. Tong was a Manchu before, and so were we. We lost contact before, but now we have restored it."
"As for how much these things of ours are worth? That's hard to say. They are just a pile of junk here. I don't care how much they are sold for. I just want to take my share."
"Haha, you're right, we just need to take our share."
Old Meng smiled and didn't ask any more questions. This time Guan Cihui found him and agreed to help Guan Cihui send the things away in exchange for two ships of electrical appliances.
Lao Meng also looked down on Guan Cihui's things. He was attracted by Mr. Tong's way in Hong Kong Island. If he really got in touch with Mr. Tong, then all his poker friends would have to get goods from him in the future.
At two o'clock in the morning, the agreed time arrived. Guan Cihui looked at her watch twice in succession, then stared at the sea carefully.
The moon on the sixth day of the first lunar month was not very bright. In the silent night, white waves were looming. There was only the boring and repetitive sound of the waves, but no roar of the engine could be heard.
However, this boring sound of the waves also happened to cover up some other sounds.
Old Song, Tan Min, Wei Jiaxian and Comrade Yao, using the cover of the waves, finally sneaked up to a position very close to Guan Cihui.
Old Song whispered to Comrade Yao, "I didn't lie to you, did I? Those two donkey carts are full of antiques. If your brother gets promoted this time, don't forget my kindness."
Comrade Yao swallowed and felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
After he called his eldest brother, he followed Lao Song to Xiawei Village as if possessed by a ghost, and suddenly he was extremely scared.
The main thing is that he doesn't know when his eldest brother will show up, and there are only four of them. If they are discovered, won't they all be doomed to be eaten by fish?
“Boom~”
Suddenly, bursts of engine sounds were heard on the sea, and several black shadows were approaching Xiawei Village at a very fast speed.
Tan Min had the best eyesight and whispered, "There are three ships. They are really coming."
None of the three ships turned on their lights and only slowed down when they were almost reaching Xiawei Village. Then two of the ships approached the shore, while the other ship stopped on the sea a few hundred meters away from the shore.
After the two ships docked, Lao Meng's men immediately went up to start unloading the ships, and sure enough, they were all the electrical appliances that had been agreed upon.
After the electrical appliances were unloaded, the people on the boat asked the Guan brothers to load the antiques onto the ship.
Guan Cihui said coldly: "There is no problem with loading the ship, but where is our money?"
The boat driver said impatiently, "Mr. Ming needs to check the authenticity of your stuff. If you are not sure, you can follow us to the boat. We will pay you immediately after we inspect the goods."
"The older he gets, the less courageous he becomes. He is really careful."
Guan Cihui looked at the ship on the sea in the distance, as if she saw a cowardly old man.
Last time on Zhongying Street, Prince Beile didn't dare to cross the center line. This time, even though he had reached the shore, he still didn't dare to set foot on the land of his hometown.
But with so many antiques, the prince must personally inspect the goods during the transaction. He knows very well what these things are. Otherwise, if he brought so many things this time, how long would it take for others to see them one by one?
But if you want me to go with you to inspect the goods at sea, I'm afraid I'll never come back?
So Guan Cihui said coldly: "You can inspect the goods, but come to the shore to inspect them, otherwise you can leave now."
“.”
"Pounce on your mother~"
The boat driver cursed and then said something to the ship on the sea through the walkie-talkie.
Then a boat returned to the sea and picked up a person from the other boat.
Guan Cihui took a look and found that the person coming was Ai Zhixin.
As soon as Ai Zhixin got ashore, he said angrily: "Master Guan, are you so cowardly?"
Guan Cihui said indifferently: "I am not the one who is cowardly. Stop talking nonsense here. Bring the money and take the goods away. You are not your father. Stop pretending to be great in front of me."
“.”
Ai Zhixin was almost choking on the anger. After taking a few deep breaths, he threw a dozen stacks of banknotes to Guan Cihui.
"This is US dollars. It would cost at least one million RMB. Hurry and load the goods on the ship."
Guan Cihui glanced at Ai Zhixin coldly and said, "How much money do you pay for? How much goods do you pack? If you feel it is not suitable, then follow my original request. You can take a few pieces to Hong Kong Island to sell. I will split the profits 50-50, and then I will give you the other pieces."
Ai Zhixin said angrily: "How do I know if these goods are real?"
Guan Cihui was not panicked at all: "You can take your time to test it. I am not in a hurry anyway."
“.”
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment. Most of Lao Meng's people nearby had already left with the goods, but Guan Cihui still refused to give in.
Ai Zhixin had no choice but to discuss with Haishang again through the walkie-talkie, and later he chatted with a woman for a long time.
Finally, the boat on the shore returned to the sea and picked up another person.
Guan Ciying took a deep breath and asked her brother, "Brother, the one coming this time should be Lord Beile, right?"
Guan Cihui said: "Not necessarily. The last time I saw him, I felt that he had aged. He is no longer the ambitious prince he used to be. He is now very afraid of death."
“Heh~”
Guan Ciying sneered: "You are still ambitious. The Manchukuo has been gone for many years."
The boat docked, and the person who got off was not a prince, but a woman.
Tan Min, who was hiding not far away, was also surprised and asked, "How could it be a woman? Didn't they say that women are not allowed on board?"
“.”
. . . . . . . . .
When Fu Guiyin got off the boat carrying a suitcase full of US dollars, she cursed "Mr. Ming" in her heart.
It was said to be a legitimate business, just like Ms. Chen who made money by selling red sandalwood, but she had to hand over the coffin board herself before she even saw the goods.
Of course Fu Guiyin refused, so Mr. Ming brought her and Ai Zhixin to "look at the goods" together.
Now that was bad, Fu Guiyin regretted it as soon as she got on the boat. It turned out that this was a life-threatening business.
But when bad luck came, it could not get worse, and not long after Ai Zhixin got off the boat, Mr. Ming actually forced him to go ashore to deliver the money.
At this moment, Fu Guiyin felt that the previously kind and gentle Mr. Ming was so vicious and terrifying.
Only after reaching the shore and seeing Ai Zhixin did Fu Guiyin feel a little bit of support.
She grabbed Ai Zhixin's arm and said, "Ah Xin, is this deal going to work? If not, we won't do it."
"It's okay, it's okay, it will be over soon."
Ai Zhixin hugged Fu Guiyin and patted her back. After comforting her for a while, he took the suitcase from her hand.
He opened the suitcase, revealing a pile of US dollars.
"Now we can load the ship! You will never be able to spend all this money in your lifetime."
Guan Cihui pursed her lips, and her brother Guan Ciying went over to take a closer look. The suitcase was full of US dollar bills, with no white paper, newspapers or anything like that.
But Guan Ciying looked hesitant. He turned around and said to Guan Cihui, "Brother, I can't tell the authenticity of US dollars. Could these be counterfeit?"
“.”
Ai Zhixin was stunned for a long time, then he shouted, "Have you watched too many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies? And counterfeit money? If it was really counterfeit money, I would have... Hey hey hey."
Before Ai Zhixin could finish his sentence, he saw Guan Cihui rushing towards him with a sharp dagger pressed against his neck.
Guan Cihui pinched Ai Zhixin's shoulders and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense. You can load the ship now, but you have to stay here. I will let you go after I have someone check it tomorrow."
“.”
No one on the boat paid any attention to Ai Zhixin and started unloading the goods from the donkey cart and loading them onto the ship, which made Ai Zhixin feel very upset.
And Old Meng, who was watching the joke on the side, no longer had a smile on his face.
Because he saw that at the same time Guan Cihui was making his move, his brother Guan Ciying's hand also reached for his waist and lifted up his clothes.
What he had on his waist was not a dagger, but a submachine gun like the ones in old movies. It looked a bit old, but it was still as intimidating as ever.
[No wonder these two brothers are so bold, are they actually dragons crossing the river? ]
A box of US dollars would definitely be a hazard, but the performance of the two Guan brothers also allowed Lao Meng to strictly maintain his reputation as a "righteous" person.
But Ai Zhixin and Fu Guiyin were terribly frightened. They were trembling and smelled of urine.
The people on the boat moved the goods very quickly. When they saw that they had moved half of the goods, Ai Zhixin suddenly said to Fu Guiyin, "Yin, I can't stay here. If I stay here, the things on the boat will be taken by others and it will have nothing to do with us.
I must go back with these goods, because these goods are our future happiness and our future hope."
"Wow, what should I do? This money is real! I just changed it from the bank."
Ai Zhixin swallowed his saliva and said, "So you stay here. The money is not a problem anyway, so they won't do anything to you.
Tomorrow you go directly to Pengcheng and wait for me. I will pick you up after I get the money, and then we will go back to the lighthouse to meet my father and let him hold a grand wedding for us."
