At seven o'clock in the night, Zhanan Port, near a private warehouse.
At this time, it started to rain continuously in the sky, and dark clouds shrouded the sky above Longcheng. On the sea in the distance, the rain seemed to be heavier, and occasionally a thunder and lightning could be seen, splitting the dark night.
Several cars parked in front of the warehouse rented by gambler Lao Pi. Kong Zhengqi got out of the car with his finances and several casino staff holding umbrellas.
"Wow!"
Lao Pi squatted there and lifted the rolling shutter door with force, and a faint musty smell floated out. The warehouse was not big, but the ventilation was not very good, and there were some mold spots on the walls.
Rows of goods sealed in wooden boxes are stacked in the warehouse. The quantity is not too large, but the boxes are still new. According to Lao Pi, these are a batch of electronic products he smuggled in. Although there are no formal procedures,
But with a little bit of operation, it can flow into the market.
"It's been raining a lot lately, won't your things get damp?" Kong Zhengqi glanced inside the warehouse and couldn't help but turn around and ask Lao Pi.
"How can goods with millions of dollars be left damp? They come by water. These shipping boxes are all specially made and there is nothing wrong with them." Lao Pi explained: "These things are all from the same area.
If you don’t have connections, you can’t get it if it’s made in a factory. If it’s brand new, there won’t be any problems. You can take it apart and inspect it.”
"Okay, let's open the box and take a look." Kong Zhengqi raised his chin, and two security guards stepped forward, holding a crowbar, and opened one of the boxes.
Inside the box, there were rows of brand-new mobile phone packaging boxes, as neat as soy milk cubes. The staff took out one of the boxes, tore off the plastic packaging on it, and handed it to Kong Zhengqi.
Kong Zhengqi opened the box, threw it aside, and took out the mobile phone inside. The mobile phone was heavy and looked like the most popular one on the market, but the brand printed on it was different.
"What's your brand?" Kong Zhengqi asked while fiddling with his mobile phone: "Why haven't I seen it before? It's a copycat?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely not a copycat." Lao Pi hurriedly said: "If they were cheap goods, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to smuggle them over, don't you think..."
Kong Zhengqi pointed to the logo on the phone: "Then why are the brands different?"
Lao Pi explained: "This batch of goods is specially for the army. It is an internal machine. It is easy to sign contracts with small brands. You know."
Kong Zhengqi listened to the explanation and opened the phone. The operating system and operating feel were indeed no different from the original brand.
Lao Pi pointed at the mobile phone and introduced: "Try it, the contents inside are indeed exactly the same. Moreover, it is more waterproof and anti-fall, and the quality is better than the ordinary model. There are many buyers in the market.
I especially like to collect this kind of goods. I originally expected this batch of goods to turn around and sell for at least five million yuan..."
Seeing the old gambler's expression, Kong Zhengqi didn't respond. He just handed the phone to the financial officer next to him. The latter took the phone, carefully took several photos, and finally sent them.
After a while, the finance officer answered the phone and the other party told the market quotation and wholesale price of this kind of mobile phone.
"Return to zero! Didi! Didi!"
The finance officer took out a calculator and started doing calculations on the spot. He quickly came up with the retail value of this batch of goods, which was around four million. However, since it was a debt-paying item, there would be a certain discount.
Ten minutes later, the finance manager calculated the money, whispered something into Kong Zhengqi's ear.
Lao Pi looked at them with a slightly nervous expression.
After they finished chatting, Kong Zhengqi thought for a moment and said to Lao Pi: "This batch of goods will be worth your two million yuan."
"So few?" Lao Pi said hurriedly with sweat all over his head: "I'm such a bastard..."
Kong Zhengqi waved his hand and interrupted Lao Pi: "That's all. If it works, sign the contract. If it doesn't work, just pay back the money."
Lao Pi gritted his teeth: "Okay, just two million!"
"It's great!" Kong Zhengqi showed a smile again, and reached out to pat Lao Pi's shoulder: "But I want to say it first, if this batch of goods cannot be sold, I will return it to you intact, and you will still have to pay back
Money, do you understand?"
"Understood." Lao Pi nodded: "I won't worry about selling the goods, don't worry."
"Okay, let's check it out and if there's no problem, we'll sign a contract." Kong Zhengqi said, waving to the staff.
Several security guards immediately walked into the warehouse. With so much goods, they certainly couldn't count them box by box, so they could only select some for random inspection. Soon, they opened seven or eight boxes, and after confirming that there were no problems, they gestured to Kong Zhengqi.
An OK gesture.
"Okay, if there's no problem, just pack it up!" Kong Zhengqi ordered, turning to look at Lao Pi: "Let's go."
Lao Pi nodded and followed him back to the commercial car next to him. An employee from the legal department had been waiting for a long time. According to the agreed payment, he printed out two contracts with a portable printer and handed them to the two of them for review.
While the two were looking at the contract, the staff lifted boxes of heavy wooden boxes and loaded them into the van next to them.
A staff member was out of breath after moving twice. He couldn't help shouting to Lao Pi in the car: "Lao Pi, your box contains a horse shot put. Why is it so heavy?"
"Oh, there is a moisture-proof board in this box." Lao Pi explained: "The things are transported by water, and it is the rainy season recently, so it is impossible not to put the moisture-proof board. These things are quite expensive, but it is also very laborious to take them out, otherwise
Give me another discount..."
Kong Zhengqi raised his head and glanced at Lao Pi: "What I want is the goods. If you want to feel bad, just take out those boards yourself."
"Forget it, forget it, it's all for you." Lao Pi sighed, picked up the pen, and signed his name with two strokes.
The two signed the contract, and Kong Zhengqi took the goods and returned to the casino.
…
An hour later, the goods were piled into the warehouse behind the casino. In addition to these large wooden boxes, there were also some other messy goods.
For casinos, this method of pledging property is not uncommon. Many gamblers often pledge some valuable jewelry, goods, cars, and even their houses to the casino as repayment of debts.
For Kong Zhengqi, today's work was just part of his daily work and he didn't take it seriously.
…
At the same time, Longcheng Police Station Hospital.
"Click!"
Hou Guoyu took the key and unlocked the handcuffs used to restrain Zheng Guang. The burns on the latter's body had not yet healed, but they did not affect his ability to move.
Zheng Guang sat up on the bed and looked up at Su Tianyu.
Su Tianyu pointed at Dai Quan who was standing next to him and told Zheng Guang: "Just follow him and catch the person behind this incident, and you can be punished and meritorious service."
