Hong Kong variety show: The tycoon who emerged from Portland Street

After discussing the arms deal, Chen Mo brought up another matter.

"I'm planning to send two hundred people to an island in the Philippines. Do you have a suitable boat?"

Han Bin's eyes widened instantly: "What the hell! What are you trying to do? You just asked for weapons for two hundred people, and now you want to transport two hundred people to the Philippines? Are you going to start a war?"

"Just tell me if it's okay or not!"

"Damn it, this is a smuggling ship, a cargo ship, not a cruise ship!"

A ship can only carry a few dozen people at most, and you want to transport two hundred? I'd carry your head for you!

After finishing his rant, Han Bin lit a cigarette, pondered for a moment, and continued.

"The largest smuggling boat I have is 50 tons. Regardless of whether it lives or dies, it can barely carry a hundred people!"

If you want to be a little more comfortable, it should be able to fit about fifty people.

Chen Mo frowned in thought. He had been careless and had underestimated the problem.

A few people smuggled themselves to Macau; using Hanbin's large plane wouldn't be a problem.

However, transporting two hundred people to the Philippines, thousands of miles away, presents some challenges.

Transporting people by cargo ship is not that simple.

Nowadays, the cargo ships used by gangs for smuggling are basically converted fishing boats. Their cargo capacity generally does not exceed 50 tons, their speed does not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, and their range is only about 800 nautical miles, or no more than 1200 kilometers.

To facilitate docking, these ships are generally over 20 meters long, 5 or 6 meters wide, with a cargo hold height of no more than 1.8 meters and a draft of just over 1 meter.

Transporting goods is manageable, but transporting people is a different story. Dozens of people crammed into a warehouse can easily lead to symptoms like oxygen deprivation and heatstroke. Moreover, the basic needs of dozens of people, such as food, water, and toileting, become major problems.

After thinking for a while, Chen Mo said, "150 people, the destination is an island in the east of the Philippines, about 1000 kilometers away from Hong Kong Island."

"Can you help me think of any way?"

The number of people was 150, a result of Chen Mo's careful consideration.

Mrs. M's base is heavily guarded and well-equipped; it would be difficult to attack if you were outnumbered.

It's 150 people, and Chen Mo plans to personally take action.

Chen Mo hadn't originally planned to go in person.

Han Bin pondered for a moment, and a few minutes later he came up with an idea.

"150 people, 1000 kilometers, including fuel, food and fresh water for the round trip, three 50-ton and one 30-ton cargo ships should be enough."

Chen Mo clasped his hands in a fist salute to Han Bin: "Thank you, Brother Bin! I'll definitely take you along next time I have a good business opportunity!"

Neither of them mentioned the freight cost. The freight cost for four ships to make a round trip was only a few hundred thousand, which was a small amount of money for the two of them at the moment, and they didn't care.

After leaving Han Bin's base, Chen Mo went to the security base in Shek O and instructed Li Jie to select 150 brothers with high military skills and good marksmanship to be on standby at any time.

Upon hearing that they had the opportunity to fight against mercenaries, the veterans were extremely excited and eager to participate.

Han Bin acted quickly; Chen Mo had barely returned to the bar when Han Bin called.

"Ah Mo, Johnny Wang has made the contact for you. Yunlai Tea House at six o'clock, just give them my name when you get there."

......

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Mo and a few of his underlings arrived at Yunlai Teahouse on time.

Upon entering the teahouse, Chen Mo recognized Johnny Wang immediately without needing any introduction.

It's just that he looks too much like Dafei.

However, Johnny Wang was much cleaner than Big Fei; he neither had disheveled hair nor picked his nose in public.

The only problem was the meeting place we chose. We met right in the teahouse lobby, so we weren't worried about being overheard.

"Mr. Wang, right? I'm Chen Mo. Han Bin recommended me."

"Oh—Brother Mo from Mong Kok, it's an honor to meet you. Please have a seat." Johnny Wang was very enthusiastic towards Chen Mo.

He's already lost a lot of his small businesses due to Hai Shu's price cuts, so he was naturally very happy to hear Han Bin tell him that Chen Mo wanted to do big business with him.

Chen Mo didn't sit down, but said, "Mr. Wang, we're discussing a big business deal. Isn't this a bit inappropriate? How about we find a private room to talk it over?"

Johnny Wang nodded with a smile: "Sure thing, sure thing. Mad Dog, go find the boss and arrange a private room."

The mad dog beside Johnny turned and went to find the boss.

Looking at the man called Mad Dog, Chen Mo felt only regret.

Mad Dog, also known as the one-eyed man in the movie "Hard Boiled".

Although he's a villain, he's principled, has a moral compass, and is incredibly strong. Even with one eye injured, he can still single-handedly overpower two main characters.

Unfortunately, he followed the wrong leader, Johnny Wang, a heartless guy, and in the end, he was killed by Johnny Wang while protecting a group of ordinary people.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo left his henchmen outside and went into the private room with Johnny Wang.

"I wonder what kind of gadget Brother Mo is planning to buy this time?"

Chen Mo smiled and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which listed the weapons he needed this time.

Chen Mo placed the list on the table and pushed it in front of Johnny Wang.

"Mr. Wang, this is the goods I ordered."

Johnny took the list, glanced at it, and gasped.

"So many? What are you trying to do?"

Johnny Wong reacted the same way as Hambin had. He wasn't interested in knowing anything; he was simply shocked.

He hadn't received such a large order in a long time.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is asking a bit too many questions."

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault!" Johnny quickly apologized. "However, this deal with Brother Mo was really beyond my expectations."

"Brother Bin said Mr. Wang's goods are the most complete in Hong Kong Island. I wonder how much these goods cost, and how long it takes Mr. Wang to deliver them?"

Johnny thought for a moment and said, "300 rifles, each with a market price of 15,000, for a total of 4.5 million."

Twenty rocket launchers, each costing 20 yuan, for a total price of one million yuan.

300 hand grenades, each worth 3,000 yuan on the market, totaling 900,000 yuan.

If you're looking for two sniper rifles, I have the SVD sniper rifle here, with a built-in scope, each costing 80,000.

I don't have a bulletproof vest; I doubt anyone in the entire Hong Kong island would sell one.

"Except for the bulletproof vest, the total price for everything else..."

Johnny quickly pressed the calculator buttons.

"Six million five hundred and sixty thousand!" Chen Mo had already calculated the price in his mind and quoted it out.

"That's right, six million five hundred and sixty thousand." Johnny was grinning from ear to ear.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and added, "How much would it cost to add two magazines and a hundred rounds of ammunition to each AK?"

Hearing Chen Mo's question, Johnny Wang stopped calculating and said directly, "How about this, Brother Mo, just give me seven million, and I'll add three magazines and one hundred bullets to each of your AKs, and one rocket to each rocket launcher. How about that?"

"Sure," Chen Mo readily agreed. "When can you deliver the goods?"

Johnny Wang considered for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow at ten o'clock, cash on delivery. We'll decide on the delivery location later."

These arms deals do not require a deposit.

Who dares to smear their arms sales?!
