Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1737 Too ostentatious
The other party immediately put the customs declaration folder inside Brown's customs declaration documents and handed them to the customs officer. With the experience of each time, the other party happily took the hundred dollars and then stamped it with various stamps.

In this way, a cargo ship loaded with war garbage quietly entered the Aegean Sea from the Mediterranean port, mixed into Brown's fleet and approached the coast directly.

When the local customs officials discovered the origin of the cargo ship, they were very worried and hurried to check the customs declaration documents, which showed that there was no error in the information.

"You can't dock. This is against the rules. You must detain..."

Facing this huge ship, the fat customs officer kept waving his hands and sweating all over.

"Seizure? You signed it, and we have evidence every time you took money. What are you afraid of with a shipload of scrap copper and rotten iron? Don't be so fussy about the things that Brown has declared..."

Li Dongxin's clerk stuffed a heavy envelope into the fat man's pocket. The fat man took a look at it, then looked at the cargo ship and then at the documents.

"He can't be here until tomorrow morning!"

After putting the envelope into his coat pocket, the fat man walked into his office with his hands behind his back and started drinking tea. He didn't care what happened outside.

Liu Dejiang's cargo ship had already set sail at this time, loaded with mobile phones transferred from Central Asia, drones from Saudi Arabia, photovoltaic equipment, graphene batteries, solar collectors from Kuwait... and began to leave along the Turkish border under the cover of night.

Because it was Brown's cargo ship, the patrol boats along the way did not conduct any inspections at all.

In the middle of the night, the cargo ship quietly turned off its positioning system and headed straight down to the Syrian coast. At around eleven o'clock in the evening, the cargo ship docked. The captain and each crew member received a considerable income and went back to sleep comfortably.

Well-trained crews began unloading the cargo, every item of which was urgently needed locally.

"Huh? Why are there armored vehicles here..."

What surprised the crew was that there were ten repaired armored vehicles lying steadily in the cabin, all of which were the latest models of a certain country.

"This is extra money. Tell your boss to go back and change the paint job immediately. Unload the cargo quickly. You still have an hour!"

The person in charge of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing spoke loudly to the locals in fluent English, and the person in charge immediately reported that they would not delay the unloading here.

An hour later, five armored vehicles were sold to the military, and Liu Dejiang used them as travel vehicles.

"Huh, I finally have my own car. Following Boss Ji, I can eat meat every day. Who dares to call us Tubalu in the future?"

Patting the heavy body of the armored vehicle, General Liu De finally felt relieved.

Sitting in the old Soviet-style equipment these days, Liu Dejiang was always worried that he would be shot. Now that he has his own exclusive car, he can decide where to go in the future.

"Boss Ji, General Liu De has gone too far. There are few people in the Middle East who don't know him. He drives around in an armored vehicle, as if he's afraid that others don't know where he is. There are many things he can't hide, but he..."

Soon the news was received in China, and Zhao Shuying called Ji Donglai's cell phone.

After Liu Dejiang made a deal with Jafari, he started to act arrogantly in Syria, driving an armored vehicle around the streets. Within a few days, the whole Middle East knew that a powerful Chinese businessman had come here. "He is not from our company, don't worry about him, just wait for the order. How to complete it is his business. How about sending someone else? Didn't Liu Dejiang's bodyguard come back a few days ago? He used to be very useful in the capital. He was also from the army and came to help the big guys to keep order."

"Just sit there and look at the little hooligans, the kind who wet their pants. This time he came back crying like a bastard, but Liu Dejiang was able to stay. He has his reasons. Don't worry about my sister Zhao!"

Thinking of Liu Dejiang's appearance, Ji Donglai comforted Zhao Shuying.

After hanging up the phone, I called Li Dongxin, and the result was completely opposite.

"General Liu De ordered another shipload from us, but this time it was from the other side, also from a country close to Syria. This guy definitely has his way. The more ostentatious you are in the Middle East, the more people will think you are powerful. We were too low-key before."

"You made a smart move. We Chinese people value restraint and subtlety, but in other people's eyes, that's hypocrisy or lack of strength. People here, even cleaners, wear suits and ties when they go to work. It's time to change clothes."

"And the location we chose this time is also very good, right next to Beirut. The names of the Middle Eastern countries, cities, and even ethnic groups were all given by others. Liu Dejiang went there recently. I don't know how the specific agreement was reached, but I can see that the food was delicious."

Li Dongxin's words were full of concern for Liu Dejiang's situation, mixed with 60% jealousy and 15% envy.

Different from Li Dongxin who does things in a methodical manner and follows the system's veins, Liu Dejiang has always done things in a high-profile and unscrupulous manner. It is precisely this unconventional approach that has enabled Liu Dejiang to thrive locally.

Everyone knows that Liu Dejiang does things unconventionally, so more and more people believe in him.

Living in troubled times, no one is unwilling to put things into his own pocket, and Liu Dejiang just happened to grasp this point firmly.

The yellow sands of the Middle East have many similarities with the deserts of Shanxi and Shaanxi. It hardly rains, and in the flying sandstorms, only ruthless people can grab gold from this barren land.

The less people take their lives seriously, the more they can thrive here. Less than a month after arriving here, Liu De brought the survival rules of the coal mine here, and the results were superb.

There were troops to pick him up wherever he went, and every checkpoint gave Liu Dejiang's armored vehicle a green light.

The door that Li Dongxin had tried his best to pry open in the past is now almost immune to the products manufactured by Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing. Whether it is the products connected to the Internet or manufactured by Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, they are pouring in here continuously, and funds and various resources are continuously flowing into Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures. Just have someone keep an eye on him to prevent him from getting into danger. You guys should pay more attention to your safety. He spends money lavishly, and others will think you are rich as well..."

"Fuck, why didn't I think of that?"

Ji Donglai's words woke Li Dongxin up, and he put down the phone and quickly strengthened his protection.

However, Ji Donglai's reaction was too late. Three days later, a piece of news that shocked the group came: Liu Dejiang had been kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of five million US dollars, otherwise they would kill him.

"You said they kidnapped a living person in the Mediterranean?"

Upon hearing the news that Liu De was going to be kidnapped, Ji Donglai and several people from the group were stunned.
