With a burst of cheerful firecrackers, the color on the plaque of the Red Star Tea Restaurant was finally unveiled.
"Brother Tian, why did our restaurant get such a name? I think other restaurants are called Chen's Restaurant or Wang's Restaurant. Why don't we call it Ye's Restaurant?”
Ye Tian smiled at the confused Yue Huizhen and shook his head without explaining.
He and the brothers he brought with him all knew why it was called this name. No matter where they were, this was their root and eternal belief. Yue Huizhen, a native Hong Kong girl, naturally could not understand the profound meaning behind this.
The higher-ups had given Ye Tian a mission, and this mission was to infiltrate the entire Hong Kong society as a spy.
Nowadays, Hong Kong was a chaotic place filled with many clubs, which affected the lives of the local residents.
In order to uproot the entire club in the future, Ye Tian volunteered to be a spy and kept the mission a secret.
Other than himself and his superior, no one else knew about his mission.
It had been three months since he was reborn, and he finally had a flag of his own in Hong Kong.
He had been observing Hong Kong for three months and had already thought of a way. He wanted to be the spy and then slowly dismantle the club.
This was also the mission given to him by the higher-ups.
"Brother Tian, the latest batch of goods has arrived.”
The speaker was Ye Tian's former comrade, Wang Shaodong. After he had settled down in Hong Kong, he had snuck back to China and brought a few of his comrades over. Aside from Wang Shaodong, there were also two others, Ah Niu and Da Ying.
The reason why he brought his former comrades along was also because of the business he was doing.
After his rebirth, for some unknown reason, he had an extra Dimensional Pocket. In this era of Hong Kong, having such a special feature that surpassed ordinary people was the best cheat for smuggling.
The goods that Wang Shaodong was talking about now were naturally related to them. The cafe was actually just a contact point for them to hide from others. It was the first branch that the brothers had established in Hong Kong.
"Let's go to the storeroom to receive it."
The storeroom was not far from the cafe in a straight line, but if they wanted to take the normal route, they would have to take a detour. There was a secret passage between the two, but it would not be used unless it was an emergency.
When they arrived at the warehouse, a container truck was already parked at the door.
"Boss Ye, it looks like we're going to make a killing again after getting so many goods this time.”
The owner of the electrical appliances store was a local from Hong Kong. Anyone with a discerning eye knew what he was doing by transporting goods to a remote village like Tianshui Wai in such a large quantity. However, businessmen didn't care so much about you. As long as the money and goods were settled, it didn't matter if you bought it back and smashed it for fun.
"It's just a small matter.”Ye Tian greeted.
"This is not a small matter. This is the third time you've taken goods from me this month. If you have any ways to make a fortune, please take care of me.”
"Alright, alright. Let's inspect the goods first.”
"Don't worry, Boss Ye, we're old friends. The goods I'll give you will definitely be the best.”With that, the electronics store owner ordered his workers to remove a box from the container truck and open it in front of Ye Tian." Boss Ye, take a look. It's authentic Japanese goods, imported from Japan. Each one comes with an extra 110V to 220V transformer. You can just plug it in and use it."”
The goods Ye Tian was smuggling were television sets. The northern country had a shortage of production capacity, but its citizens had a demand for entertainment, so television sets were extremely popular. As long as you could bring them ashore, the people there would immediately stuff cash into your pockets.
The same TV set would only cost 2,000 yuan in Hong Kong, but once it reached the mainland, the price would immediately increase by four times, and the profit margin would reach 300%.
Capital said that if there was a 20% profit, the capital would be restless. If there was a 50% profit, the capital would take risks. If there was a 100% profit, the capital would dare to take the risk of being hanged. If there was a 300% profit, the capital would dare to trample on all the laws of the world.
Therefore, it was hard to imagine how rampant smuggling was during this period. However, not many people could be as successful as Ye Tian. After all, the marine police on both sides of the river were not to be trifled with.
Ye Tian inspected the goods very carefully, switching on the electricity on every TV before repacking them. Ordinary people wouldn't have his patience, but this was his principle.
In his opinion, since he had earned money from his customers, he had to strictly control the quality of the goods sold. Otherwise, if his reputation was ruined, who would be willing to take his goods in the future? It was also because of this that when his goods reached the shore, he was often much faster than others.
"Boss Ye, don't worry. There's definitely no problem with my goods. There's no need to check them one by one.”The electronics store owner was a little impatient. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Tian always asked for a lot of stock, he wouldn't have agreed to trade with Ye Tian. If the same goods were sold to other smugglers, they would be able to mix in 10% of the defective goods, but it was completely impossible in this area.
This was also a typical mindset of the Hong Kong people. No matter whether they could earn money from the Northlanders or how noble they were in the North, they would think that they were not presentable. No matter how rich they were, they were just upstarts with little knowledge.
"There's nothing wrong with being careful. It's better to check now than to come to you if there's any problem in the future, right?”
Although Ye Tian was smiling, the electronics store owner broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that if these smugglers were caught by the other side, they would have to eat peanuts. They were all desperate people. If they really had a conflict with the other party, he would be the only one who would suffer.
Therefore, he immediately put away his contemptuous expression, but the smile on his face was still not much.
"Alright, no problem. There are a total of 100 units, each with 1,998 Hong Kong paper, totaling 199,800. Here are 20 skins. Count them and treat the rest to tea.”
The skin Ye Tian was referring to was the Hong Kong language's ten thousand yuan unit. Similarly, there were mosquito, pouch, and branch, which corresponded to the units of round, ten round, hundred round, and thousand round.
"Boss Ye, you're generous. Next time, call me if you need anything.”The extra 200 mosquitoes made the face of the electronics store owner, who was originally unhappy, bloom again.
After they left, Ye Tian turned to Wang Shaodong and said,""The next time we take the goods, let us spread out to each house and take a small batch. I was careless before. I shouldn't have only taken the goods from one shop for convenience. It would have been easy for people to figure out our background.”
"Okay, Tian 'ge, leave this to me.”
After that, the two of them placed the goods into the warehouse. Before they left, Ye Tian had Wang Shaodong leave first while he took advantage of the empty space to store all the televisions into his Dimensional Pocket. A hundred televisions, each one cubic meter in size, filled his Dimensional Pocket to the brim.
As for sending Wang Shaodong away, it wasn't because he didn't trust him, but because he had always been cautious.
After all, the existence of the Portable Space was beyond the understanding of ordinary people. If it was accidentally spread, it would definitely bring great trouble to him and the people around him.
After locking the warehouse door, he was about to contact the ship to transport the goods at night when he saw Ah Niu rushing towards him.
"Tian 'ge, the Hetian gang is here to plant the flag!”。
