Chapter 29 I don't know how many people are looking for me
Three hours later, it was nightfall.
Three people in a boat arrived safely at the Kuching Fishing Port pier on the south bank of the Sarawak River.
I went through the port entry formalities in a proper manner, and then sold several tons of fish on the boat.
They caught these fish on the way back from Guangdong Province, and it was only at this moment that they had the chance to take action.
Fortunately, the price of fish in Kuching is more than 10% higher than that in Lanfang, so it is not a waste of time. In total, the cost of the return trip was six to seven thousand ringgit, which was enough to cover the cost of the boat for the return trip.
I also made a small profit of more than a thousand.
After selling the fish, the three of them discussed it. Long Wu suggested: "Miss Gu, you and Ali go to the hotel that you made an appointment with the captain to meet up. I'll watch the boat here."
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Pan was very polite and thanked him before following Chen Li ashore.
They don't have mobile phones in Malaysia, so it's not easy to connect with each other. They can only stay in the hotel. So before they broke up, Gu Kun told them to meet at Xichun Garden.
Chen Li and Gu Pan quickly found Xichun Garden and asked for the smallest private room.
"I remember the flight arrived at 7:30 pm. It will still be an hour from the airport. Why don't we order some delicious dishes that are served slowly." Gu Pan took the menu from Chen Li and said kindly.
In 1994, there were not many flights from China to Nanyang.
Chen Li was a little embarrassed: "It's just a few of us, don't waste money, and don't treat us."
"My brother and I also want to eat, it won't cost any money." Gu Pan reassured with a smile.
When she came back from Guangdong by plane, her brother had told her that if Long Wu and Chen Li completed the mission well, they would give them some material rewards so that they could win over them with nice words.
Although Gu Pan didn't know much about the ways of the world at first, after traveling abroad with his brother and seeing some of the world, he naturally became more mature. For a girl who is a freshman in high school, it is very good to be able to do this.
She looked around at the menu and then asked the waitress: "Is there anything like Buddha Jumping Over the Wall?"
"Yes, but this is supposed to be reserved, otherwise it will be too long. Can you guys wait?"
"Can it be done in two hours?"
"Two hours has two hours of practice..."
The authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall takes at least one or two days from the time of drying the abalone. However, large hotels often prepare some ingredients that are pre-made and simmered, so it can be made in two or three hours.
"Then let's have a altar with Buddha Jumping Over the Wall." Gu Pan ordered, and ordered five or six other dishes, all of which were Hu Jian's specialties.
Soon other dishes were served first, and Gu Pan asked everyone to relax and just eat first.
Two hours later, a taxi stopped in front of the hotel, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes got out. He looked out of place with the surrounding environment. It was Gu Kun who had just arrived from the airport.
The clothes he wore were from when he was in Guangdong, and he didn't bother to change when he had to catch a flight. Fortunately, the taxi in Kuching had air conditioning, and the air conditioning in Xichun Garden was turned on quite well, so Gu Kun didn't lose his image by sweating profusely.
"It's so pretentious to wear a suit on such a hot day. He looks quite handsome and manly." The waitress led Gu Kun to the private room. She complained inwardly along the way and couldn't help but look at him more.
After closing the box door, she thought about it for a moment and realized something was wrong.
"This person seems a bit like the person in the photo that the eldest lady secretly took last time... Could it be that the guest is here again?"
Of course the waitress wanted to please the boss's daughter, so she casually sent her some gossipy chat messages.
Don’t think it was strange to send text messages in Malay in 1994 - Nokia developed gsm mobile phone text messaging technology at the end of 1992.
Malaya is a wealthy country in Southeast Asia. Its per capita income is second only to Lijiapo and Brunei. The monthly salary is about 1,500 yuan, which is twice that of Thailand and five times that of Indonesia.
In addition, there are many islands and it is difficult to set up wired telephone lines, so mobile phone network construction has always been relatively avant-garde. In 1994, people were able to send text messages.
A few seconds later, Lin Ying, who was doing homework in a small southern-style western-style building not far from Xichun Garden, received a text message.
"Maybe the guest from last time is here again?" She lost consciousness for a moment and subconsciously touched the photo secretly tucked into the mezzanine of the pencil case.
It was taken two days before her New Year's Eve, when many waitresses in the store went back for the holidays and there were not enough people in the store to help, so she secretly filmed it with a point-and-shoot camera.
The boy in the photo may not be very old in real life, but he looks very mature and has a sense of vicissitudes of life. He has a dangerous charm. Those little girls who love to fantasize about the outside world have a fatal attraction, so she took advantage of him to eat and endured it.
I couldn't help but secretly take pictures. Later, I occasionally showed off to other female employees in the store, but it was just for gossip.
Lin Ying thought for a while, opened the door to the study room, and said to her mother who was watching TV in the living room: "Mom, I've finished my homework. Let's go out for a walk."
"What are you going for in Mahakala? It's almost eight o'clock."
"I'll just walk around and go to the store to see if dad is still in the store."
"Then come back with your dad."
Lin Ying used some tricks and managed to escape.
…
At the same time, in the small box of Xichun Garden, Chen Li had already shipped her and Long Wu back to Lanfang. When Wang Han made things difficult, Chen Mingcheng secretly investigated all the details and stated them all to the boss.
Gu Kun's first reaction was a bit unbelievable: "Shell general agent Chen Mingcheng actually checked me for a order for a thousand barrels of oil? No way, Lanfang originally allows free trade in oil products, without supervision, and I am not the only one who sells oil along the way.
One, how could he be so sensitive? With Chen Mingcheng’s style, the best thing to do is to focus on the big ones, let go of the small ones, and control the supply of goods.”
When Chen Li mentioned the name Chen Mingcheng, Gu Kun roughly knew what was going on.
He knew Chen Mingcheng quite well - at the beginning of the 21st century, Lanfang also discovered shallow sea oil fields. The Lanfang royal family originally wanted to introduce Huahai Oil from the northern China to bid for development, allowing the Lanfang people to keep more
Many benefits. It is this Chen Mingcheng who has repeatedly stepped in to interfere with the situation, helping the Shell system to gain benefits and eliminate competition. In short, he is a dog of British colonial capital.
However, in his impression, the current small-scale business should not arouse Chen Mingcheng's fear.
Just when Gu Kun was puzzled, Chen Li gave him an idea: "Boss, you haven't personally experienced the atmosphere when shipping goods back to Lan Fang, so you may not understand. I guess it may be because you posted
The news about the big fortune made Chen Mingcheng misunderstand the profit margin of your oil sales. He may have thought that you got other oils that were super cheap or even from unlicensed sources."
Gu Kun thought about it and finally understood.
It seems that this step was a little reckless for Long Wu to act carelessly on his way back.
If he didn't hide this trade route, but openly said that the profit from selling oil was only 20 yuan a barrel, which also meant that the oil was bought from China by taking advantage of the exchange rate time difference, then Chen Mingcheng might not care about him.
.
The problem is that Gu Kun wants to keep business opportunity information completely confidential.
And he became prosperous too quickly. On the one hand, his efficiency in catching the best fish was unbelievable. On the other hand, his ability to find customers and negotiate prices was too strong. He also colluded with Xu Feng, allowing him to make every profit in the seafood industry.
Earn hundreds of thousands a month.
But from a normal point of view, it is impossible to understand that such a boat can make money so quickly by relying on the legal seafood industry.
There were too many elements of Gu Kun’s money that needed to be kept secret! They were stacked together, amplifying everyone’s misunderstanding.
Maybe Gu Kun got the oil for 1 yuan 2 a liter, but Chen Mingcheng thought he had a super underworld source that cost a few cents per liter.
"I was still too aggressive and a little greedy. I didn't take into account the effects of various jealousy and spying factors." Gu Kun readily admitted the small mistakes in his decision-making.
"Longwu did a great job today. We really should take Panpan out. Lanfang is too small and the public security is not good. Who knows if there will be trouble. I will buy a house in Kuching tomorrow and find a way to use the money to support the connections."
Okay, let's go through the procedures for Panpan to study in the high school here. Chen Li, I will give you and Long Wu extra rewards later."
"This is what we should do." Chen Li quickly modestly said.
Gu Kun sorted out his thoughts and continued his instructions decisively: "Things have reached this point, and there is no point in regretting it. Taking it slow and giving up fleeting business opportunities in order not to make people jealous is not my style. Chen Mingcheng is like this
This guy is going to figure it out sooner or later. Since he wants to cause trouble for me, let's deal with it properly.
Fortunately, we haven't officially broken the relationship yet, and there should be still time to delay. I want to strengthen myself as soon as possible so that I can be qualified to contact other forces that want to deal with him."
"We all listen to you, boss, and we will do whatever you ask us to do."
Gu Kun nodded and said nothing more. He just poured himself a few glasses of wine.
According to what Chen Li said, there is still a buffer period of at least half a month. If it is done well, if it is delayed one more time, it will be April.
Even if it was to seize the Lanfang Shallow Sea Oilfield in a few years, Gu Kun originally wanted to kill Chen Mingcheng, but now he just doesn't give you enough time to level up and acquire equipment, and hastily kills monsters by leapfrogging levels.
How can you know your potential without pushing yourself.
"I've eaten enough. You guys eat slowly. When you're done, go and eat with Long Wu. Let's find a hotel nearby to stay tonight." Gu Kun wiped his mouth after finishing the meal and got up to pay the bill.
Because they had to discuss confidential matters, they deliberately asked the waiters not to serve in the private room, so after eating, I had to go to the front desk to pay.
The total amount of this meal reached four figures because of the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. Gu Kun directly took out a dozen of one hundred ringgit bills from the 82,000 ringgit that Chen Li had just given him to pay for the oil.
"Wow, handsome guy, I haven't seen him for a month. He's been so generous and his whole look has changed." The waitress who collected the money joked.
Gu Kun thought it sounded slightly familiar, so he looked up absently and saw that it was a girl wearing a Japanese school uniform, a light sailor shirt and sailor skirt.
"Oh, you are the boss's daughter, right? Come to think of it, it's rare that you came to the store to help again today?" Gu Kun finally recognized the other party.
Lin Ying straightened her hair: "Yes, what a coincidence. Since we are so destined, I will give you a zero and charge you a thousand lings."
Gu Kun smiled: "There's no need for this, I've never been favored by women."
Lin Ying was a little discouraged, but she still adjusted her mood, leaned over and whispered in a low voice: "A few days after you left that time, some people came to the store to look for you, including some from the Navy. Are you not interested in this either?"
Gu Kun: "This is impossible. Don't talk nonsense. I'm just a fish seller."
