806. The South China Sea
In March, when the northern land is still shrouded in the cold air that often moves south from Siberia, it is in the season of chilly spring. On the southernmost island, there is already a row of birds singing and flowers singing and the summer is full of summer.
South China Sea Island is a large island located on the southernmost foot of China and a province in the southernmost part of China. It is located in the subtropical area, but because it is close to the equator and the South China Sea, the temperature here is also the highest in the country on average.
The year can be said to be like spring, and there is no winter. Even when the whole country is in winter, the temperature here remains above zero, and it is even as high as ten or twenty degrees. Therefore, this place has become a holy place for people to take vacations and travel, and is a well-known tourist province in China.
When Li Yifan got off the plane, he felt a sultry and humid air coming to his face. Although he had tried to reduce his clothes when he set off from Bincheng, he almost fainted by the heat waves here as soon as he got off the plane.
After entering the airport lobby, I felt much cooler, so I hurriedly found another bathroom, changed into clothes, short-sleeved shorts, and large slippers, so I felt much more comfortable all over my body.
After leaving the airport, I got into a taxi directly and went straight to the hotel I had booked.
Li Yifan is a rich man now, so of course he would not treat himself badly. The hotel he booked is the best Guangminghai Hotel in Haigang City. This hotel is located in the city center of Haigang City. The hotel has a high floor, and you can enjoy a panoramic view of Haigang City and beautiful beaches, with no doubt sea views.
However, Li Yifan, who got into the taxi, had no time to browse the tropical scenery outside. At this time, he was frowning, thinking about the batch of goods he was detained in the Harbour City.
Really, this time I really overturned the gutter. I thought it was a smooth operation, but I didn’t expect that I would end up falling into my own territory?
When Li Yifan thought of this, he felt anger in his heart. These customs are so full that they are full. Why do you think of checking our own goods?
It is true that the customs are responsible for auditing and smuggling, but that is also divided into something. If it is a luxury product that is cracked down on domestically, or some goods that undermine the national tax policy, it is understandable to crack down on it in a severe manner.
But the machine tools that I shipped by myself are beneficial to the development of the country. Generally, customs will turn a blind eye to such equipment. If you close it, you will not pay attention to it at all.
Thinking about the underground smuggling king who came to the store in southern Fujian Province back then, he had been able to do smuggling business for so many years?
He not only smuggled a large number of cars and oil, but the most important thing is that he also helped some domestic forces smuggle and import a large number of domestic machine tools.
It’s a pity that the people in the government are indeed bastards. When you can use you, you are the master. When you can’t use you, you are just a chamber pot. If you want to catch you, you can catch you. If you want to search, you can search your house.
No wonder there will be so many rich people in the future. They are determined to immigrate. In this country where personal property cannot be protected, everyone really has no sense of security.
In fact, smuggling is inevitable for customs in countries around the world, but the customs of various countries have their own tricks, and they usually choose to turn a blind eye.
When the goods you smuggled are goods that hinder the national system and are not conducive to the domestic economic development, they will certainly catch you, but if the goods you smuggled are beneficial to the national development, or are the kind of goods that the country is short of, the customs personnel generally choose to turn a blind eye, close their eyes, and ignore them.
For example, Japan will choose to turn a blind eye to various rare mineral resources smuggled into China, while Americans will choose to turn a blind eye to the beauties smuggled into their country and come to the world.
The same is true for Chinese customs. If you smuggle in from abroad and transport some things that affect the domestic economic order, the customs will certainly not let them go, or if there are foreign garbage, they will of course turn against you.
But if you are smuggling high-precision machine tools that are in short supply in China, that is another matter. Generally, customs will choose to turn a blind eye and put these goods through the customs.
But this time, these customs in Haigang City took some wrong medicine, so they actually detained the things they had transported to China, and even asked themselves to issue a huge fine for the bag company that Ah Xiong and the others.
It’s really a special one, there must be something strange here, so Li Yifan decided to come here to take a look.
There are about twelve machines in this batch, but fortunately, this batch of machine tools are all renovated second-hand mobile phone beds. These machines are roughly second-hand goods purchased by Nobuhiko Kobayashi during the financial crisis in 1998, and some of them are damaged machine tools.
However, after entering into a deal with Li Yifan, he found a lot of parts to repair these machine tools so that these machine tools can work normally. Although these machine tools are second-hand goods and have been in some years, they are still good things when they come to China.
For example, the five-axis machining center of DMG's G500 model, this bed was DMG's product ten years ago. Now, local German processing companies have basically eliminated this kind of machine tool.
However, when he came to China, he was still a good thing. Although domestic machine tool factories imitated the production of such machine tools, the speed of the feed motor of the machine tool we imitated can reach about 1,500 rpm, while others' second-hand goods can reach 3,000 rpm. In this way, many special steel parts cannot be processed by our machine tool, and this machine tool can be processed.
Moreover, in terms of stability, our machine tools are incomparable to their second-hand goods. As long as they are properly maintained, they can still be used for twenty years. However, even if our machine tools are newly produced, they will probably have to be overhauled and maintained after half a year of use. This is all kinds of gaps.
This is exactly the value of such a machine tool. Although it was eliminated from second-hand goods ten years ago, we still can't buy such a bed in the international market.
When Toshiba sold the second-hand milling machine eliminated by Norway to the Russians and was severely punished by the Americans, it now makes many machine tool manufacturing companies frightened. Therefore, even such a second-hand bed is still under strict control in the international market, and it is impossible to buy it in China.
It was this batch of such machine tools that were detained in Haigang City, and Li Yifan felt that there must be something strange about it.
When he bought this batch of machine tools in Japan, he didn't spend much, which was about 5 million yuan. Kobayashi was quite kind. The price was almost half sold and half given away. You should know that he had to be responsible for repairs and also sent these beds to the treasure island.
But in Japan, it is worth 5 million yuan. If you get it from China, the price of these second-hand beds will be ten times faster immediately, and it will not be a problem.
Now that someone has been detained in the Harbour City, Li Yifan really seems to know that the person from Temao dares to have such courage to detain my machine tool.
When I arrived at the hotel, I put down my luggage simply, then went into the bathroom and washed up, went downstairs to the restaurant, and I just found a table to sit down. Two guys wearing floral shirts and big sunglasses leaned over and sat opposite him.
It was Ah Xiong and Ashin. They had been in Haigang City for two days and had been trying to figure out the status of the goods. Now they finally have their backbone.
After ordering a few meals, a few people started eating and drinking. After a look around, no one paid attention to this place. Li Yifan asked in a low voice.
"Ah Xiong, what happened? Didn't you say it before? Why did such an accident happen?"
Ah Xiong, opposite, immediately changed into a helpless expression. In fact, the distance between the treasure island and the South China Sea Island is not far, and the economic exchanges between the two large islands are actually very close, and smuggling is no problem.
After Ah Xiong retired from the army on Baodao, he had been in the underworld for a period of time and was doing business like smuggling, so he was really not bragging. He really had some tricks on the South China Sea Island, but he didn't expect that something happened this time.
"Hey! Boss, I don't know what's going on. It turned out that I had agreed with the customs people that the people here also collected our money, but who knew that after this batch of goods arrived ashore, they were detained. We have also been here in the South China Island for several days and have been looking for the guy who has collected money but has not done anything. Today, I finally figured out the way that guy was going to explore the road at night. I just collected our money and didn't do anything for me. Do you think we are easy to bully?"
Ah Xiong became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He originally wanted to show his face in front of the boss by relying on this deal, but he didn't expect that such a mess would make him lose all his face, so of course he was very angry.
The guy he mentioned was an official from the Haigang City Customs Office, named Liu, and was named Section Chief Liu. Everyone had worked together before. They smuggled some electronic products from the treasure island, such as mobile phones, computer hard drives, etc., and then Section Chief Liu would let it go after collecting the money. But this time, he didn't know what this guy had eaten, so he actually detained their goods. It's really fucking.
Do you think you are an official in the mainland, so I can’t deal with you anymore?
Ah Xiong roughly introduced what he knew to Li Yifan, and a shiny light flashed in Li Yifan's eyes.
