Chapter 21 Black Market Gold Shop, Selling Guns

Lin Long put his arm around Huang Xin's beautiful back and looked through today's system information.

The first piece of information concerns the case of Boss Guan.

Police have launched an investigation into the disappearance of Mr. Guan.

This was entirely within his expectations.

After all, the other party is a billionaire with a net worth of over 100 million.

Whether he is dead or alive, the police have to give an explanation.

Sure enough, the police officer Miao Zhishun who took over the case was also a master, and he had already found out about him so quickly.

Although Lin Long has not yet been identified, he has only been included in the scope of the investigation, which is still a dangerous sign.

Hong Kong is a world full of not only ruthless criminals, but also many talented police officers. We should be more careful in the future.

Compared to the first piece of information, the second piece of information was somewhat incomprehensible to Lin Long.

He asked Dr. Chen Meirong, a doctor at Mingxin Hospital, to have a florist deliver a bouquet of ninety-nine roses every day.

Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Miao Zhizhong, since he and Chen Meirong are divorced.

For some reason, Miao Zhizhong secretly investigated his background and even wanted to arrest him. He must have some mental issues.

Lin Long wasn't afraid of Miao Zhizhong's investigation; on the contrary, he felt that this might not be a bad thing. He might even be able to use this opportunity to get Chen Meirong to throw herself into his arms more quickly.

He was determined to make good use of this opportunity, but he still needed to think carefully about how to proceed.

Lin Long looked at the third piece of intelligence and raised an eyebrow.

This intelligence report contains a significant amount of information and is of paramount importance.

First, it can be determined that Zhou Hannan's next robbery target is Tai Kwong Jewellery in Mong Kok.

Lin Long could find a suitable opportunity to inform Huang Xin of the intelligence, allowing her to set up an ambush in advance and wipe out Zhou Hannan and his gang in one fell swoop.

Secondly, while Da Guang Gold Shop appears to be doing legitimate business, it is actually a black market gold shop run by Da Kou Guang, a bigwig in the business of selling stolen goods.

So-called black market gold shops are places where people who sell stolen goods collect stolen gold on the black market, then melt it down in a furnace and finally launder it into cash through gold shops.

This process is considered high-end in the industry; ordinary people simply can't handle it.

Not only must there be a stable source of illicit funds, but there must also be compliant gold banks to handle the shipments.

The key to Da Kou Guang's success in the stolen goods industry is that he has a major client, Ye Guohuan, who provides him with a long-term supply of gold.

This guy is a tough guy who dared to carry an AK and confront the police on the street.

With just this one customer, Da Kou Guang could make a fortune.

Of course, the fact that he was able to open a gold shop further proves that Da Kou Guang is no ordinary person.

Opening a gold shop on Hong Kong Island requires a license application, which is subject to extremely strict scrutiny. The government requires directors or shareholders to have no criminal record and to have compliant backgrounds, with strict background checks led by the Hong Kong Island Customs and Excise Department.

With such a large lip, it's impossible for him to pass the formal review.

He must have put in a great deal of effort to get through the system and get away with it.

Lin Long could guess that if this batch of gold were stolen, Da Kou Guang would be furious to the point of madness.

Even so, he still had to get involved in this mess.

The third important piece of information in the intelligence was that the gold shop's safe contained three hundred gold bars, each weighing one hundred grams, none of which were marked.

Currently, the price of gold at gold shops on Hong Kong Island is between HK$130 and HK$140 per gram.

The 30,000-gram gold bars are worth nearly four million Hong Kong dollars.

With such a huge windfall, and the option to have Zhou Hannan take the blame for him, Lin Long was determined to make a killing.

the next day.

Shen Jingyue arranged to meet Lin Long at a coffee shop.

"Brother Long, this is my boss, Brother Tiger."

"Brother Tiger, this is Brother Dragon."

"Lin Long".

"Ah Hu".

The two shook hands after being introduced by a psychologist, and then took their seats.

Ah Hu cut to the chase: "Brother Long, what's the price of the goods?"

"Twenty thousand each, buy one and get a magazine free."

"Brother Long, this price is a bit too expensive." Ah Hu frowned. The higher-end Milin and aircraft are only 25,000, while Black Star is a low-end product, 15,000 at most.

"This doesn't even include the commission." Lin Long leaned back in his chair, his tone flat. "I'll take 10% of this deal."

"No way, Brother Long, you didn't mention commission yesterday," Shen Jing immediately complained.

Lin Long turned his head and glanced at Shen Jing: "You didn't say you were going to do big business yesterday either."

"According to the rules, the commission is 5% to 15%, but I'm only taking 10%, which is already giving you face."

Gun supplies on the Hong Kong Island black market are tight, the police are cracking down hard, and smuggling risks are high.

Arms dealers do more than just sell goods; they also bear the risks of hiding, transporting, and evading profits. Taking a cut of the transaction is the norm, usually around 15%. Lin Long taking 10% is not considered shady.

"Brother Long, what's the difference between this and robbery?" Ah Hu took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled a ring of white smoke.

Lin Long shrugged: "Taking these things is practically robbing, isn't it?"

"My goods are a bit expensive, but there's a shortage outside right now, so you don't have any other choice."

"Besides, you'll get the same price if you hire someone else."

Ah Hu fell silent upon hearing this; Lin Long was right about that.

Shenjing and Ah Hu's gang were not notorious criminals. They did not have access to guns and were the buyers. They had no bargaining power and only had the choice to buy or not buy.

If they find other channels, they'll probably get even more than Lin Long.

Ah Hu spat out a mouthful of air, nodded, and asked, "Shall we take a look at the goods first?"

"no problem."

Lin Long stood up and led the two out of the coffee shop.

"Get in my car."

Ah Hu was about to get his car when Lin Long called him back.

Shenjing Chong gave Ah Hu a look, and the two of them sat in the passenger seat and the driver's seat in the back.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Long took the two to the Galaxy Center Shopping Mall and retrieved a bowling bag from the locker.

"I'm gone."

Ah Hu was stunned. He thought they would have to go around in circles, but Lin Long had already received the goods. He glanced around and quickly followed him out.

In the car, Ah Hu looked at Lin Long and asked, "You put the goods in the mall's lockers? Aren't you afraid something will happen?"

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing," Lin Long said as he drove. "The police won't check the lockers in the mall. There are security cameras and guards there, and thieves wouldn't dare touch them. It's very safe. If something does get stolen, I can find the thief from the security footage."

Ah Hu silently took a drag of his cigarette and realized that Lin Long did indeed have some skills.

An hour later, Lin Long drove to Fanling. If he wanted to test the gun in broad daylight, he had to go into the mountains, otherwise he would easily attract the attention of the police.

"Give it a try." Lin Long opened the bowling bag, took out a gun, and tossed it to Ah Hu.

Ah Hu took the pistol, pulled back the slide, glanced at the smoothbore, and confirmed it was indeed a new one.

The magazine was removed; it was empty.

"Here you go." Lin Long tossed over a bullet.

Ah Hu caught it, loaded the magazine, pulled the safety, and pulled the trigger at the big tree in front of him.

"Bang!!!"

The shot hit the target squarely.

"Good stuff," Ah Hu exclaimed. As expected of goods from a reputable source, it's much more reliable than those from small workshops.

Lin Long took the gun back, pulled out a fully loaded magazine, chambered a round, and glanced at Ah Hu: "You've touched this gun, you have to buy it."

Ah Hu raised an eyebrow: "You want to force me to buy or sell?"

"I'm selling a brand new gun. If you've already used it, how am I supposed to resell it?"

"Either buy it, or pay 10,000 yuan in compensation. It's your choice."

"It's not easy to find this kind of good stuff outside."

Think carefully before you answer.

"Click!"

The bullet was chambered, the safety was released, and the crisp metallic sound was particularly jarring in the silent forest.
