When the news reached Chen Luo, he was at Huangpu Dock.
The equipment purchased from Beauty Nation had already been installed.
At the same time, Chen Luo also translated the English into Chinese. The main purpose was to let his subordinates quickly learn how to repair ships.
In the future, he still had to master how to build ships.
Not to mention now, even after 70 years, shipping would still be a particularly important part.
Undertake the shipbuilding industry.
This was also the best opportunity to earn money in the future.
But now, the vast majority of merchants were actually smuggling.
The current Huo Donglai, the future king of chartering boats, actually relied on smuggling to make a living.
Chen Luo was no exception. However, Chen Luo was bolder and began to rummage through the post-war resources.
As for the major clans in Xiangjiang City, they could only imagine that the Eagle Country would auction some of the post-war materials in Xiangjiang City and then lower the price.
Naturally, this was not because Chen Luo was smarter than them.
Rather, as a transmigrator, Chen Luo's perspective was higher than theirs.
Other than that.
The trade between Xiangjiang City and the mainland had never been cut off.
Chen Luo's smuggling was also divided into two lines.
The first line was the international line. It was a group formed by Caucasians from the Beautiful Nation, General Barton, Robert, Maria, and others. They specialized in persuading small European countries to buy equipment, Eagle Nation people to buy equipment, or even the people from India and Taiwan. In short, after the equipment was obtained, they would secretly sell it to the country. The crew on this line were basically all Caucasians, retired soldiers from the Beautiful Nation. Occasionally, there would be Chinese. There were more Caucasians than Chinese. Regardless of whether Chen Luo was willing to admit it or not, the White Paper still had a lot of power in the international arena.
After taking a few detours, he sold the equipment to the country.
Naturally, the white-skinned Chen Luo on the ship also needed to be served with good wine and meat. They had to be given enough money. Other than that, they had to sign a confidentiality agreement to maintain this secret as much as possible.
For now, it was not a big problem.
With the money in place, coupled with the pretentious attitude, it was not a problem for these white-skinned people to keep their mouths shut.
The second route was the Asian route. This was mainly for the transportation of food. They would purchase food from Siam and India, or some coal business, some chemical products, and so on. They mainly focused on resources and commodities. There was no large equipment, and there were more Chinese than white people. The crew on the ship were mostly Chinese. Now, most of the crew members had been replaced by the domestic army by Chen Luo.
Merchants loved smuggling because the profits were high.
However, merchants would not go there personally to smuggle goods. They would usually let the Jianghu members of the society smuggle goods. After that, they would also give a very high profit.
However, for the Jianghu members of these societies, the most difficult thing was to follow the smuggling ships. The Xiangjiang Sea Area was not safe.
However, in fact, it was not the case. There were quite a few groups of pirates who were called Datian-er along the route between Xiangjiang City and the Casino City. They were composed of scattered soldiers. Unlike the clubs, these Datian-er were immoral and lawless. They would even rob the ships of Xiangjiang Chamber of Commerce. If they dared to resist, they would immediately massacre the cargo ships and leave no one alive.
Therefore, in the club, following a smuggling ship was the most dangerous job.
The safest and most profitable position was to follow the commercial firm's cargo ship around the harbor. The so-called detour meant that the cargo ship carried the goods that had been counted and delivered goods throughout the territory. For example, it delivered 1,000 bags of rice or 500 barrels of grain and oil from the Central Pier to the Sham Shui Po Pier in Jiulong. There was no risk in this job because there was no need to go out to sea at all. It was just loading and unloading goods between several docks in Xiangjiang City. At most, it was to prevent other gangs from finding trouble. Moreover, the profit was rich. It was a one-in-a-thousand job like the cargo ship. In other words, the trading firm would load and unload 1,000 sacks of rice, and one of them would belong to the jianghu people on the ship. If they were diligent in a day, it would not be a problem for them to load 3,000 to 4,000 sacks of rice or grain and oil.
If they split it into three or four bags of rice and sold it out, they would earn at least 500 to 600 Hong Kong dollars a month.
This kind of work was not something that ordinary people could get. For a club, only those who had sacrificed their lives for the club would be arranged for a funeral. After all, there was a fixed number of such cargo ships. A medium-sized club was only responsible for a dozen cargo ships.
This kind of work was similar to the logistics industry.
There were those with high risk and high profit, and there were also those with low risk and low profit.
In fact, Chen Luo had done both. However, he didn't need the help of the club to travel from Xiangjiang to the casino.。
The people on board were either retired soldiers from the beautiful country or soldiers from the country itself.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment in their hands were better than those of the pirates. If they really encountered the pirates, it would not be a matter of who robbed who. Chen Luo would simply wipe them all out and seize their ships. Then, he would see if he could use them in his own fleet.
Right now, Chen Luo was tidying up the ships of these pirates.
First, they had to transform the coal ship into a fuel ship.
It didn't matter if the boatmen under his command were to try it out. They had to sum up their experience from repeated failures. Here, this was seized from the bandits. Even if it was crippled, it wouldn't hurt too much.
At the same time, the international ships were going out to sea again today.
Chen Luo wanted to purchase large power generation equipment, as well as some excellent machine tools. Some of the machine tools were left in the country. They were obtained from Hans Cat and were sold to Chen Luo at a scrap metal price by Chen Luo's national corporation. Some of the machine tools were needed by the mainland, and some were urgently needed by Chen Luo.
It had to be said that Chen Luo's development speed was a little fast.
This was what worried the clubs in Xiangjiang City the most. Chen Luo had too many boats and he didn't give them any chance unless they joined the Qing Gang.
The goods were imported by Chen Luo himself. The commercial street of the supply store was Chen Luo's own, and the transportation process was also Chen Luo's own. He did not give these groups any chance to interfere at all. He did not allow them to come to his territory to collect protection fees, and he did not allow them to come to his territory to sell drugs. His attitude was very obvious. Either they obediently submitted to him and I gave them a chance to advance and make a fortune, or they were completely eliminated by him.
His actions naturally caused great dissatisfaction among the other clubs.
When Wang Sihai came to report to Chen Luo, Chen Luo frowned." He smashed our entire commercial street?"
"The other clubs are very dissatisfied with us now!" Wang Sihai nodded.”
"Did we lose a lot of people?" Chen Luo asked slowly.
"It's alright!" Wang Sihai was stunned.
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes and said indifferently,""Let the operation team take action. Kill the chicken as an example to the monkeys and destroy Fu Yian!"
