Chapter 255 Contraband Sale

Nine out of ten gambles and cheats - a folk proverb.

Two days later, it was eight o'clock in the morning.

Lu Feng and Yu Manli were dressed in formal attire and stood at the door of the martial arts gym with a small suitcase at their feet.

The two of them seemed to be very compatible.

Not long after, a black Buick car drove up in front of the two people.

"Get in the car."

In the driver's seat, Situ Jie rolled down the window and greeted the two of them. Lu Feng and Yu Manli opened the door and got in.

After leaving the gate of the martial arts school, the Buick started driving north, passing through the French Concession, the Public Concession, and Zhabei District along Sichuan North Road until it reached the suburbs.

After almost an hour, the Buick finally arrived at its destination:

Wusongkou International Freight Terminal.

After parking the car near the pier, Situ Jie led Lu Feng and the two of them towards the dock of a ship.

Lu Feng immediately saw the huge cruise ship docked at the port. At first glance, the ship looked very similar to the classic Titanic on the screen.

They are all black below and white above, with several large chimneys in the middle.

But upon closer inspection, Lu Feng discovered that the shape of this ship was quite different from the Titanic.

The most conspicuous part is the chimney. Unlike the tall and round chimney of the Titanic, the chimney of this cruise ship is much lower, flat and thick.

If the Titanic's chimney was a cigar, this cruise ship's chimney is probably a can of black bean dace.

"Europa"

This is the name of this cruise ship. She is a cruise ship from Germany. It just arrived at the Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal last night.

At the boarding gate, Situ Jie presented an exquisite invitation letter, and the three of them were directly let in by the guards.

As soon as they boarded the Europa, they were greeted by a man who looked like a sailor. After Situ Jie greeted him in German, the sailor led them into the banquet hall of the cruise ship.

At this time, hundreds of people had gathered in this spacious banquet hall. When they saw someone else coming in, many people cast inquiring glances.

These people were sizing up Lu Feng, and Lu Feng was also sizing them up.

Looking around, the people in the banquet hall were all in small groups, keeping a certain distance from each other.

Lu Feng discovered that the people in the banquet hall could be roughly divided into three categories based on their temperament.

The most numerous were the muscular men who looked like soldiers. Even though they were wearing regular uniforms, Lu Feng could still tell at a glance that these people must be soldiers.

Secondly, there are people like Situ Jie, who look like rich and noble men. Many of these people are like Lu Feng, accompanied by female companions and followers.

In addition, there were a few smooth-faced, broker-like figures who were constantly walking around and chatting among the crowd.

Lu Feng and the three of them walked into the banquet hall calmly under the gaze of everyone, and then found a corner to wait by themselves.

The reason Lu Feng and Situ Jie came to the Europa cruise ship was naturally to buy motorcycles.

According to Situ Jie, the "Europa" cruise ship brought a lot of good things from Europe and planned to sell them at a good price here in Shanghai.

Among them, there are medium-sized motorcycles that Lu Feng needs.

However, these goods were not declared at the national customs and paid customs duties.

In other words, these things are smuggled goods.

In order to leave a fig leaf for the government, the cruise shipping company did not announce a public sale. Instead, it invited buyers to board the ship to view the goods and purchase them in the form of invitation letters.

However, as early as when the "Europa" set sail from Germany, the specific cargo list had already been telegraphed to Shanghai.

The managers of the transportation company and various brokers in Shanghai began to promote various goods on the ship early and contacted various buyers.

This is actually not much different from public sales.

Because of this, Situ Jie knew half a month ago that there was something Lu Feng needed on board the Europa cruise ship.

When the "Europa" docked, buyers from all walks of life who had been prepared for a long time boarded the ship immediately, preparing to compete for the ownership of the goods on the ship.

In the current era, the arms smuggling trade can be said to be the most profitable category. Therefore, at every such sales meeting, the warlords from all parties are the largest customer group.

This is also the reason why the largest number of people in the banquet hall are soldiers.

As for the kids from rich families, most of them came to see if there were any newer gadgets and planned to buy a few to show off.

"Hello, Mr. Situ. Brother Ma, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Just as Lu Feng was sitting in the corner waiting for the sale to begin, several people suddenly came over and said hello to them.

Lu Feng looked carefully and then recognized the other party.

"Brother Wang? Are you here too?"

The person who came was none other than Wang Tianfeng, and he was naturally accompanied by Guo Qiyun, who was always inseparable, and Wu Yuan, the intelligence department chief who had been reinstated.

"Well, as members of the Military Intelligence Investigation Division, we naturally have to pay more attention to arms deals like this, otherwise it will be easy to cause trouble.

Judging from Brother Ma's words, it seems that he is not here to find out information? "

Wang Tianfeng inquired curiously. Lu Feng nodded and said:

"That's right, I came here to buy something. As for gathering information, I really haven't thought about it."

Wang Tianfeng nodded and said:

"I'd say so. Brother Ma can't do anything to cover up this. It really doesn't look like he's here to find out information."

Lu Feng looked at the other person who looked almost completely different from Wang Tianfeng, and exclaimed:

"Brother Wang, your makeup is so good. If you hadn't taken the initiative to come here, I really wouldn't have recognized you."

"Haha, in our line of work, disguise is a compulsory course. Otherwise, it's easy to get into trouble."

Lu Feng nodded in agreement. Wasn't he just opening a trumpet account and wearing a vest?

Suddenly, Lu Feng remembered that he could take this opportunity to talk to Wang Tianfeng about poaching Sun Dapu.

However, before Lu Feng could speak, several more people walked over.

"Hello, Mr. Situ."

This man greeted Situ Jie, but ignored Lu Feng and faced Wang Tianfeng directly.

"Shopkeeper Wang, are you okay?"

"Shopkeeper Xu, it's rare that you dare to come forward?"

Hearing the words "Shopkeeper Xu", Lu Feng looked carefully and recognized that the person coming was none other than Xu Bowen.

Obviously, Xu Bowen also came to investigate the information on arms sales.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I heard that you have been very powerful recently? You burned tens of millions of oceans with one fire. Such courage, Mr. Xu admires you."

Hearing Xu Bowen's words, Lu Feng's expression became a little subtle.

Two nights ago, he and Liu San burned all the "red pills" in that warehouse, which could be said to be extremely enjoyable.

But the next day, some "gossip" spread that the arsonist was actually someone from Lixingshe Shanghai Station.

Originally, such news was only spread by one or two people, but in the past two days, almost everyone knew that Wang Tianfeng secretly sent people to burn down the Fukuoka Pier.

And Wang Tianfeng has never denied it.

It is equivalent to tacitly accepting this statement.

Lu Feng didn't understand why Wang Tianfeng took the initiative to take the blame for him, but since someone was willing to attract firepower for him, he was naturally happy to do so.

In this way, it can not only attract the attention of the Japanese, but also intensify the conflict between the government and the Japanese.

Kill two birds with one stone.

For this reason, Lu Feng even went to see Liu San, hoping that Liu San wouldn't let anything slip.

Liu San is also a smart man. Although he values ​​reputation very much, he also knows what kind of reputation is desirable and what is not.

If the Japanese really knew that he burned the Fukuoka warehouse, he would probably not be able to live in peace in the future.

Now someone comes out to support Liu San, and Liu San is also looking forward to it.

Back to the present, when Wang Tianfeng heard Xu Bowen say this, he said with a blank expression:

"Shopkeeper Xu, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."

"Nonsense? I, Mr. Xu, also have connections in the capital. I heard that Shopkeeper Wang has made a big appearance at the Kong family in the past two days.

It seems that Shopkeeper Wang's meteoric rise is just around the corner. I would like to say "congratulations" to Shopkeeper Wang in advance. "

Wang Tianfeng glanced at Wu Yuan subconsciously.

Two days ago, Wang Tianfeng finally agreed with Wu Yuan's opinion when he thought of the huge temptation of getting favors from the Kong family.

He first tried to spread the news in a small area, and found that no one came out to clarify, or that someone recognized the arson case in the Fukuoka warehouse, Wang Tianfeng gradually began to build momentum.

So much so that now everyone thinks he did it.

Of course, Wang Tianfeng himself will definitely maintain an attitude of neither admitting nor denying this matter. All responsibilities will be borne by Wu Yuan, the person who proposed it.

In this way, even if something went wrong later, he could throw Wu Yuan out to take the blame.

Similarly, if Wang Tianfeng profits from this, then Wu Yuan will definitely benefit a lot.

After all, Wu Yuan was actually betting that the person who burned down the Fukuoka warehouse would not come forward to expose them.

Fortunately, he was right.

  The care of left-behind children is really a big problem.

  There should only be two updates today, sorry.
