In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Some are happy while others are sad. In the presidential suite of the Foreign Trade Hotel, cigars are lit but no one is smoking them.

It fell to the ground, burned a big hole in the carpet, and emitted a pungent smell.

But the person in the room didn't care at all. He just kept talking on the phone, and the call lasted for more than half an hour.

"Brother Hao, is there really no way to fix this?"

"I can give those dogs from the anti-smuggling team any money they want. Let's suppress this matter for now."

"This is not a matter of money. You have made a big deal out of it. Many of your products are substandard, causing many people to be hospitalized."

"The guy from Kowloon City already knows that the goods are yours, and he threatened to kill you if he saw you."

"How is that possible? The quality of this batch of goods is guaranteed. Except for the smuggled goods, the others are even better than the local ones."

The other party hesitated for a moment and said, "Has this thing of yours passed through the hands of others?"

"I can only cooperate with President Ou."

The other party cursed on the spot: "Are you a fucking idiot? You are cooperating with an old fox. President Ou has been doing this business for a long time. You are trying to steal his cake and dare to cooperate with him."

Du Haijun's mind went blank. He roughly guessed who had tricked him. Maybe his batch of goods had been swapped.

The defective canned foods on the market now are definitely not his, but when something goes wrong, they are all blamed on him.

The other party sighed and said, "You better stay in the mainland and don't come back. You will be arrested if you come back."

Du Haijun was really panicked at this moment. If he couldn't go back, his dream of becoming Li Chaoren would be completely shattered.

What should he do with his money in Hong Kong? Du Haijun lowered his head and said with a flattering smile:
"Brother Hao, can I trouble you for a favor? Can you help me get some connections?"

The other party said bluntly: "Someone is messing with you, there is really nothing you can do."

"Then can you please transfer the money I have in Hong Kong Island to the mainland? I might as well develop my business here."

The other party sighed.

"You are in Hong Kong Island, where do you have any money? Your shell company has been shut down and your accounts have been frozen."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding over Du Haijun's head, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

"Brother Hao, you should know that I still have some money."

When he said this, the other party was silent for a long time. Du Haijun cursed on the spot: "Did you swallow my money too?"

"I'll use it to ward off disaster for you. You still have family members in Hong Kong Island. Even if the people in Kowloon City don't kill you, they might not let your family go. Just think of it as protection money."

Du Haijun was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone, but he still said in a gentle voice: "Brother Hao, I still have a lot of businesses in the mainland, I still have a chance."

"By the way, since we've known each other for so many years, I'd like to kindly remind you that you shouldn't think you're safe hiding in the mainland. The anti-smuggling team is already liaising with the mainland, and they may want to investigate this as a typical case. You'd better run away."

Du Haijun's forehead was covered in cold sweat. For a moment, he couldn't find anyone to help him. Then he remembered his real girlfriend.

She still has a lot of money. As long as he has money, he can still make money if he keeps a low profile in the mainland and does some legitimate business.

When the time comes, wait until the storm has passed and then charge back to Hong Kong Island. Then, I will chop Brother Hao off first.

However, after the call was connected.

"Yingzi, I have a problem now, do you have any money?"

Unexpectedly, the other party picked up the phone, but did not reply. Instead, a woman said, "Who calls in the middle of the night?"

"A idiot called and asked if we wanted to buy stocks. You just served us very well. Do you want to continue?"

Du Haijun finally understood. At this moment, there was a vast grassland above his head. At this moment, he finally understood who had tricked him.

"I'll fuck you sir."

"I will chop you to death sooner or later."

Du Haijun gritted his teeth. He was not completely penniless now. At least he still had some businesses on the mainland.

But if Brother Hao wants to deal with him, he will probably cut off the roots and will definitely provide some information to the anti-smuggling team.

He just said that the mainland might also want to arrest him, which means they are already on their way to arrest him.

Du Haijun quickly called Sun Xiangdong, who usually acted bossy.

But today his attitude was obviously much better: "Boss Sun, can you come and see me now? I have something to tell you."

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated and said, "Boss Du, now?"

"That's right, right now."

Sun Xiangdong hesitated for a while, and refused in a rare move: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Du, I have guests at home today, and I drank a lot of wine. Can I come to see you tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Du Haijun hung up the phone angrily. At this moment, he felt that the whole world was against him. It seemed that even the air was so disgusting, with a smell of burnt plastic.

When he came to his senses, he discovered that the floor mat in the room had burned a big hole in his cigar, which was still smoking.

Du Haijun poured the glass of red wine on the table towards the smoking hole, and at this moment, a ringing sound was heard in the room.

After hearing the ringing tone, Du Haijun looked at the phone in horror, broke out in a cold sweat, and picked up the phone tremblingly.

I thought it was the Foreign Trade Bureau calling to ask him, but it turned out to be Director Chen. This time the other party was really anxious.

"Mr. Du, when will the payment for the goods arrive? The bank has urged us to repay the loan, and the Foreign Trade Bureau has also called to inquire."

Du Haijun hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to finish speaking. At this moment, his mind was blank.

I have no idea what to do next. I have worked so hard for so many years, but in the end, all my efforts were wasted.

When he thought of this, Du Haijun couldn't help but grit his teeth at Li Duoyu, if he hadn't messed things up.

Maybe he was still raising shrimps, and he wouldn't be kicked out by Haixin's other shareholders so quickly.

He was indeed too anxious about this smuggling operation, which is why he chose to cooperate with someone like Brother Hao.

He couldn't help but drop his wine glass, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

At this moment, Du Haijun was like a frightened bird, afraid at the slightest sign of trouble.

The waiter shouted:

"Mr. Du, your dinner order."

Du Haijun finally felt relieved and remembered that he had not had dinner yet. But he had no appetite for dinner now.

The room was such a mess and the carpet was burnt. If the waiter came in and saw it, it would inevitably cause trouble.

"I have something to do, so I won't eat yet."

"Okay, tell me when you want to eat."

This waitress was his personal housekeeper. A few days ago, she chatted with her casually and gave her some belts and scarves bought in Central.

She has been particularly nice to him during this period, and she actually thought that he would take her to Hong Kong Island. In fact, he was just playing around.

Du Haijun was lying on the chair, thinking rapidly, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong. The Foreign Trade Bureau had already contacted Chen Youze, so they would definitely contact Sun Xiangdong.

This person has always been submissive and has almost never refused him. If he encounters such a thing, he will come to him even if he has to hire someone to drive.

Did he just say he had guests?
Who is that guest?
Du Haijun had a very bad feeling. He took out a stack of business cards from the drawer and finally found one that smelled a bit like the sea.

When he was transporting those cans before, he found several ship captains and got to know a lot of people. Some of them were openly engaged in transportation, but they also had side jobs in private.

After Du Haijun dialed the number, it rang nearly ten times before the other party picked up the phone.

"Which one?"

"Boss Gao, it's me, Du Haijun from Hong Kong Island. Do you remember me?"

"Oh, Mr. Du."

Du Haijun was too lazy to argue with him and said directly: "It's like this, Boss Gao, I have a brother here who is in a hurry to go abroad. Island countries and Amei are both fine. Please quote a price."

"Mr. Du, we only accept regular orders and do not accept urgent orders. The recent quota is full."

"Money is fine, as long as we can get the person out."

"Can you confirm the time?"

"The sooner the better."

"In fact, we have a ship leaving today. If your friend is really in a hurry, he can take the money and go directly to Qingkou Wharf to find Ah Biao. Then, give him the money directly."

"how much is it?"

"Since we know each other so well, we'll charge at least 50,000 per person. If you want something more comfortable, it'll cost 70,000."

Du Haijun couldn't help but curse. He still knew the market price. Now the most was 30,000, and even the best one was just over 50,000.

This bastard is looking for someone to serve him, but he can only stay out of the spotlight for now. The Foreign Trade Bureau has already found Sun Xiangdong and Chen Youze.

They should come looking for him soon, and since Brother Hao has sold him out, he will most likely be arrested and put in jail.

He deliberately did not tell the other party that it was he who wanted to escape. The other party had already asked for such a high price. If he had said it was him, he would have slaughtered him to death.

"Then come for 70,000. I'll give you the foreign exchange certificates directly. After the deal is done, I'll give you some extra benefits."

"Okay, Mr. Du, I'll make sure your friend lives better than the others. When the time comes, I'll give him a single room."

Du Haijun pulled out a heavy suitcase from the cabinet. When he opened it, he found it was full of foreign exchange certificates with a face value of 100 yuan.

There are even quite a few US dollars. After all, at present the US dollar is the only real universal currency. Whether going to an island country or other countries, this currency is the most useful.

Du Haijun stuffed a few sets of clothes in, put on his hat, and hurried out. He came to the front desk and said to the waiter: "Qingkou Wharf, arrange a car for me."

"Sir, I'm very sorry, our hotel's car cannot be sent to such a far place."

After being rejected, Du Haijun looked gloomy: "Don't you know who I am? I am a VIP customer of your hotel. I have spent so much money in your hotel in the past few months. Don't I even have this little right?"

After Du Haijun got furious, the hotel manager rushed over and tried to calm him down.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Du, she just arrived and doesn't know you yet. I have the right to do so. I will arrange it for you right away."

At the same time, he signaled the new waiter to come up and apologize.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Du."

Du Haijun glanced at the young waitress with disdain, and all the anger that had just accumulated was directed at her.

"If you don't have good eyesight, why would you work as a receptionist? Just fire people like this."

When the waitress heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She was just following the rules.

The lobby manager quickly changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Du, do you need the car now?"

Du Haijun looked at his watch and said, "Yes, I am in a hurry. I have a project to discuss with someone at Qingkou Wharf at 10 o'clock in the evening."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll arrange a car for you right away."

Not long after.

A black Crown car appeared at the lobby door. After Du Haijun's previous disturbance, the doorman was already in place, preparing to help him carry his suitcase.

But Du Haijun glared at him and said, "You don't need to come. I can do it myself."

The first thing Du Haijun said after getting in the car was: "Drive faster, I'm in a hurry."

On the night of the Lantern Festival, there were lights and decorations everywhere, but Du Haijun's face was very dark and his heart was cold.

He didn't expect that when he arrived at Qingkou Wharf, he found an island opposite with fireworks being set off continuously.

"What island is that?"

“Dandan Island.”

Du Haijun's eyes became full of resentment. He had hated Li Duoyu for so long, but he really didn't know where Dandan Island was.

The master said, "Yes, I will wait for you here."

Du Haijun thought for a while and directly gave the driver a foreign exchange certificate with a face value of 100 yuan: "If I don't come back after dawn, you can go back by yourself."

"Okay, got it."

With the address in hand, Du Haijun found a house at Qingkou Wharf, which was full of fishermen smoking and drinking.

Suddenly, a young man wearing a hat, a complete suit and carrying an expensive suitcase appeared, and everyone became nervous.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Is A Biao here?"

At the same time, at the new pier of Dandan Island not far away, several people were hiding on a boat.

One of them said, "San De, you and Duo Yu are relatives, so you must do smuggling. If you follow him, you can make a lot of money."

Li Sande snorted coldly: "It's better not to have such relatives. They are so prosperous but don't even help them."

Everyone laughed. It seemed that Li Duoyu was really different from others. He did not go out of his way to help these relatives, except for Li Yaoguo who had followed him from the beginning. Instead, he seemed to take care of outsiders more.

More than half of the company's backbone personnel are outsiders.

"That's not right. Don't you have relatives in Southeast Asia? You can go directly to them."

"What a bullshit! I've asked someone to find out. The wages in Southeast Asia are generally not high. It's just that the reputation is better. It's really better to stay in China and work. It's better to go to the US and the island countries."

"I also think Amei is better. As long as we work for a year, we can pay off the high-interest loan we took out. After that, all the money we earn will be free money."

"The Zhang family is doing very well now. They send back tens of thousands of foreign currency. It's more profitable than raising kelp."

"By the way, we have been waiting here for four hours, why hasn't the boat come to pick us up yet?"

"Maybe he went to pick up other people on the way. Anyway, don't worry, the snakehead will arrange it. We only paid a deposit, and he still needs us to work and earn money to repay his loan." (End of this chapter)
