"Currently, part of the firearms circulating in the black market are transported by sea. Due to strict inspections, the risks are very high. To give a simple example, for example, if we prepay a deposit of fifty points and thirty-eight guns at a time, we may only be able to deliver them in the end. Twenty, and about ten more lack parts. This is a good success rate in terms of shipping. The other route is to buy from the border. In terms of safety, it is higher than shipping. On the one hand The people responsible for transportation are all veterans in the industry, and there are many channels. On the other hand, land transportation is more comprehensive. Unlike sea transportation, once it cannot pass the customs, there is no chance of maneuvering. However, the shortcomings of land transportation are also obvious, channel fees It is too high. In terms of cost, it is almost twice that of sea transportation, but the safety is not comparable to that of sea transportation."
Dahai took a puff of his cigarette and continued: "We don't dare to rely solely on land transportation because we don't have enough liquidity, so we have to bet on the success rate of sea transportation. After passing the customs, we can make a fortune. And if we use land transportation, even if the risk is low, The profit margin is too small and not cost-effective, but in order to ensure our brand name and supply of goods, we have to spend a lot of money to purchase a batch of firearms via land transportation."
"Brother Xiao Lin, I can guarantee that this modified point 38 is not sold by people like us. In fact, I am completely sure, because at the beginning and end of every year, the inspections from above are very intense. In addition to sending money to the brothers below, During the New Year, a certain amount of liquidity must be saved for the next year's transactions, so even sea transportation will be reduced a lot, fearing that everything will be confiscated and suffer heavy losses, not to mention land transportation, which has ridiculously high channel fees. If you use land transportation, you will be confiscated once or twice. , we will have to close our doors.”
"The most important point is that there is no modified .38 in our recent supply. According to the information leaked from the police, this .38 should be a newly arrived supply from the border, so it is definitely not mine. Sold by passers-by.”
Lin Ze stared at the sea with a smile and asked: "Then why did you say it was a black stone."
Dahai smiled bitterly, took a puff of smoke and said, "If Brother Xiao Lin hadn't put so much pressure on me, I wouldn't have dared to say nonsense. After all, Blackstone is not someone I, an old bastard who wants to take advantage of, dares to offend, but Now that we’ve reached this point, I’ll just say it straight away.”
"Blackstone's land transportation channel is better than ours. His supply of goods is almost never shipped by sea. Small businessmen like us can't make any difference if we don't use sea transportation and gamble on luck. But Blackstone is different. He has connections with arms dealers on the border. A good relationship, not only the channel fee is low, but also a share of the channel there. It can be said that he is self-sufficient, unlike us who have to buy based on people's faces. In addition, even for land transportation with higher safety, There will be times when things go wrong. We were seized several times last year, and we almost closed down due to heavy losses. But as far as I know, Blackstone has not been inspected even once, and the vigorous scrutiny before and after will not affect his purchase. If there's nothing fishy in this, I won't believe it even to death." Dahai said with some annoyance,
"Normally speaking, even if you are inspected when transporting by land, most of them will be seized when entering Huaxin City." Lin Ze flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said calmly, "You want to say that Black Stone has a protective umbrella."
"Without a protective umbrella, he couldn't have taken away most of our business in just a few years. Now, except for some old customers with whom we have friendship, most of them have been taken away by him." There was a sour taste in Dahai's words.
"Black Stone," Lin Ze pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Haidai, you go back first. I hope you don't want to use me to suppress Black Stone. I won't go into details about the consequences."
Dahai patted his chest and assured: "As long as the modified .38 comes from Huaxin City, I can guarantee that even if Blackstone didn't handle it himself, it was done by one of his passers-by."
"Well, I will let you know when there is news." Lin Ze waved his hand and motioned for them to go out.
A minute later, the private room became quiet. Lin Ze continued a cigarette, turned around and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
Scar held his chin and said attentively: "What Dahai said is very possible. If it was really someone from his side who sold it, he wouldn't have the guts to cover it up. The reasons he mentioned before can withstand scrutiny. Maybe this is the case. It’s really Blackstone who is behind this.”
"Besides what happened in the boxing ring last time, is there any friction between you?" Lin Ze flicked the ashes of his cigarette and asked,
"Not on the surface." Scar grinned, "Brother Xiao Lin, you should also know that he is the younger brother of the former leader of the North District. If we hadn't suddenly emerged, with his connections and strength in the North District, he would have become the leader of the North District. It was only a matter of time before we were in the fight with the three parties. He did not join in. He could be regarded as a wise man to protect himself. And his brother was obviously killed by Qiao Ba. Naturally, he would not cooperate with Qiao Ba and has been tolerant until now. , I guess they expected us to fight with Qiao Ba so that both sides would suffer, and he would benefit from it, but unfortunately, we were not dragged to hell by Qiao Ba, but instead occupied the North District and disrupted the South District."
"The great prospects and blueprints were instantly wiped out. To say that he was willing to do so would be a lie. The past year has been a stable period for our Little Knife Association. He definitely has reason to be a stumbling block. He also hopes that this suppression from above can destroy our Little Knife." It will collapse, and who will have the strength to compete with him then?"
Lin Ze nodded slightly and said calmly: "There is a suspicion and a motive, which is much more reliable than the powerless people like Dahai."
"Brother Xiao Lin, otherwise I will take people to find him directly." Scar said fiercely, "This old boy will do a lot of harm with a knife like this. If you don't kill him, Scar will take his surname from now on."
"There's no rush." Lin Ze pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "There is no conclusive evidence now, so he can come up with a reason to shirk us, and then alert us. Drawing his attention will only make the whole thing more confusing."
"Then what should we do?" Scar asked anxiously, "Should we just let him live a comfortable life like this?"
"Scar," Lin Ze took a sip from the teacup and muttered, "You now know how to deal with many things and have the ability to deal with them, but you still lack some firepower in terms of the overall situation."
Lin Ze put down the tea cup and refilled the cigarette: "When you are in your position, no matter what you do, you must first consider the consequences. You are not just one person who can feed the whole family without being hungry. There are a group of brothers below you who rely on you for food. Impulsiveness is a success. It doesn't matter. An angry man who bleeds for five steps is suitable for a lone ranger, but it is not suitable for a big brother like you. Even if you are more powerful than Blackstone now, but you have no evidence, it will definitely be useless to question him face to face. Then you What to do, it’s hard work, Huaxin City is in a sensitive period now, if you make a little big move, the higher-ups may do whatever it takes to extinguish you, and the one who will lose the most will not be Blackstone, but you.”
Scar nodded awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "Brother Xiao Lin taught me a lesson."
Lin Ze ignored the compliment from Scar, who seemed to never grow up, and wrote lightly: "Send someone to check him and find out what he has been doing recently. If necessary, make one or two false appearances to attract his attention. If he is really too extreme, reaction, it proves that he really regards us as a thorn in his side. The more likely it is that he did it. There is no airtight wall in this world. As long as he has done it, he will definitely leave a clue. Don’t worry, Take your time, there will always be a time when he shows his fox tail."
Scar nodded, discussed a few more details with Lin Ze, and then left with awe.
But after chatting for a while, Scar discovered that he had not really become a qualified big brother. Maybe he had a certain grasp of the microscopic aspect, but in terms of macroscopic control, he was still an outsider and not as good as Brother Xiaolin. He shook his head regretfully, glanced at the door of the private room that slowly closed, and said confusedly: "Brother Xiao Lin, with your skills, it is really difficult to get along in Huaxin City, which is not small, but definitely not big. It’s a waste, Yanjing’s Forty-nine Cities with Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons is the stage you should go to.”
,,,,
Lin Ze sat alone in the private room drinking tea and smoking. Seeing that it was past the class time, he didn't bother to go back to school to be scolded. He simply sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while. But for half an hour, Brother Xiao Lin couldn't sit down, but stood up. No, it's quite a bit uneasy and awkward,
There is no other reason. I don’t know how many men and women have slept on this sofa, and I don’t know if it has been cleaned up.
So he jumped off the sofa, drank a glass of wine, and planned to go to the billiards room outside to spend time.
Ding ding ding,
The phone rang unexpectedly. Lin Ze, who was going out, took out his cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He answered the call and asked, "Who is it?"
"Brother Xiao Lin, this is Hei Shi." A thick bass voice came from the microphone,
"Hey, Boss Hei, you have something to do with me." A trace of caution flashed across Lin Ze's brows, and he teased, "It's not because of inflammation of the bridge of the nose, and you want to ask me for medical expenses."
"Brother Xiao Lin is joking." Heishi's voice was full of compliments and awe, and he organized his words and said, "I ordered a table of dishes. I wonder if Brother Xiao Lin has time in the evening."
"Invite me to dinner." Lin Ze asked with a smile.
"Well, I have been quite busy recently. Brother Xiao Lin has been in Huaxin City for half a year and has not fulfilled his friendship as a landlord. I hope Brother Xiao Lin will show his respect." Heishi said,
"It's okay to eat, but I'm a very vulgar person, and I don't care about other people's faces when I speak. I'm afraid that Boss Hei will get angry and treat me to two peanuts, which won't be worth it." Lin Ze said in a weird way,
"Brother Xiao Lin, don't worry, I, Heishi, don't have any other advantages, except that I am thick-skinned." Heishi agreed with a smile,
"Where."
“Seafood restaurant.”
"It's that seafood shop where a lobster costs a thousand yuan." Lin Ze pretended to click his tongue and said, "You are really rich."
"Brother Xiao Lin is invited to dinner. Naturally, you can't go to a place that is too classy. It's better for Brother Xiao Lin to have a happy meal than anything else." Heishi pretended to be his grandson to the end. When he hung up the phone, there was a strange coldness on his face and a cold light in his eyes. wanton,
