Chapter 388 Anti-smuggling operation
CPUs can be divided into "parallel imports" and "licensed goods", and the difference between the two is mainly reflected in the channels of supply. It can be understood that "parallel imports" are smuggled in, while "licensed goods" are officially imported.
For ordinary consumers, the difference between the two may not be big. There are always parallel-imported CPUs on the market, and the prices are relatively cheaper.
But for the country, if parallel imports are smuggled in, it will lose a lot of tariffs.
Han Wen nodded and didn't ask the boss why he didn't report such stupid things like theirs.
For those doing parallel import business, the stalls usually have little inventory and at most some samples. The stalls are used to contact customers. After the relationship is established, most of the contacts are by phone. Transactions will not be carried out inside the stalls.
, usually elsewhere.
Of course, sometimes goods are shipped in the stalls. For example, a certain Hu Yang saw boxes of CPUs there. But in general, these people are very cautious, especially their warehouses and purchase channels.
It's so tight that I won't even say it if I beat it to death.
Hu Yang did not plan to tell Li Hao now about the discovery of the traces of the Mao brothers. He needed Awen and the others to confirm again. In addition, he was prepared to eliminate the Mao brothers once and for all.
That evening, Mao Xinli appeared at a certain stall on that small street. He walked into the store without stopping, and after talking to the clerk for a few words, he went directly to the back room.
"Back?"
Lying on the couch in the back room was another one of the Mao brothers.
"Well, today was not bad. They paid for the goods delivered to the Electronics Building on time. But guess who I saw today? Li Hao. Li Hao actually came to Shenhai Development. He is now making copycat phones.
I inquired about it and found out that that guy actually became one of the top ten big players in the Electronics Building."
After Mao Xinli saw Li Hao, he hid far away. He was sure that Li Hao didn't see him, so he returned to the stall.
"Dali, it's really Li Hao. Then we should pay more attention in the future. In this way, you don't have to go to the electronics building to deliver goods in person. If he sees it, it will be troublesome to have other thoughts."
The two brothers discussed it and decided that it would be best to show as little publicity as possible recently. They were very cautious in doing this business, and they had to be even more careful when they met acquaintances with whom they had grievances.
It's just that neither of them ever dreamed that from now on, every move they make will fall in the eyes of someone who cares.
On this day, it was time for the Mao brothers to receive the goods again.
In the morning, a truck from Xiangjiang arrived at the pass. This truck was loaded with electronic components, and the receiving unit was an electronics factory in this city.
"Mr. Hu, today is the day for the Mao brothers to pick up the goods. What should we do?"
At this time, Han Wen was reporting the matter to Hu Yang in his office.
Through the joint efforts of Han Wen, Li Jie and many others, everyone fully grasped the activities of the Mao brothers.
It's time for this matter to end.
"Well, Ajie and Awen, you two should not directly come forward on this matter. Find a reliable external person and ask him to call the customs for anti-smuggling."
Hu Yang nodded, picked up a piece of note paper, and wrote down a name and phone number. Li Jie stepped forward and looked at it a few times, and remembered it in his mind.
Then Han Wen and Li Jie left Hu Yang's office.
"Uncle, what are you doing right now? Are you in the Electronics Building? I'll pick you up right away. We'll talk about the details after we meet."
Hu Yang then called Li Hao. It would be bad to have such a good show without an audience.
When Li Hao received the call, he was very confused and didn't know what his nephew was doing mysteriously. However, he readily agreed and waited by the roadside at the agreed time.
"Uncle, get in the car."
Before long, an inconspicuous black Cherokee Jeep parked nearby. With the window rolled down halfway, Li Hao saw Hu Yang waving to him.
"Yang Yang, what are you doing? It's so mysterious."
Li Hao got into the car and sat in the back seat with Hu Yang. The driver was Li Jie, and Han Wen sat in the passenger seat.
"Hehe, I'll give it a try first, and you'll know what's going on later. In short, just think of it as watching a show, a big show."
No matter how Li Hao asked, Hu Yang would not tell what was going on, which made Li Hao even more curious and wondered what was wrong with his nephew today.
The Cherokee left the Huaqiangbei area and headed towards the relatively remote Longgang area.
The container truck that drove from Xiangjiang passed the checkpoint smoothly after inspection. The electronics factory that received this batch of electronic components was in Longgang, and the container truck also headed towards Longgang after passing the checkpoint.
Halfway down the road, the truck driver's phone rang.
"Almost there?"
"It's almost time. We've entered the customs. Just wait."
In addition to the driver, there was also a delivery person in the truck. After hanging up the phone, the two looked at each other and smiled. The people who picked up the goods were very cautious every time, which made them feel ridiculous.
At this time, the Cherokee had arrived at Longgang and stopped at a very secluded place.
Li Hao looked out the car window. This should be a storage area, with warehouses everywhere.
"Yang Yang, what are we doing here?"
There were some cars parked in twos and threes nearby, but there were very few pedestrians. Li Hao turned back and glanced at Populus euphratica, his head filled with questions.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you right away. Have you seen the warehouse on the left front? Our goal today is it. The warehouse itself is nothing, but its owner, my uncle, should be familiar to you. He is Mao Xinli."
Populus euphratica finally stopped trying to sell it.
"Mao Xinli? Yang Yang, how did you find him? This bastard caused me so much trouble back then. I'm going to find him right now."
Li Hao was furious when he heard this. He had been looking for the Mao brothers for so long and just couldn't swallow it.
"Uncle, please be patient. I told you that I would like to treat you to a big show today."
Hu Yang grabbed Li Hao. He had never said what happened before, just because he was afraid that he would be irrational and ruin his arrangements.
Fortunately, Li Hao was not completely swayed by his emotions, and he calmed down quickly.
In the distance, a Guangdong-Hong Kong dual-brand container truck drove over, and then went directly into the warehouse on the left front.
At this time, Li Hao noticed that many vehicles suddenly appeared around the warehouse. These vehicles seemed to appear suddenly and gathered towards the warehouse door.
The container truck drove into the warehouse and stopped, and the driver and the person escorting the truck jumped out.
The Mao Xinli brothers walked over together and greeted the driver with a smile. They looked like they were acquaintances, at least it wasn't their first time meeting them.
"The old rule is to unload half of the cargo first and then load it back up."
The driver took the drink handed over by the Mao brothers, took a sip, and then opened the compartment door.
Mao Xinli directed the workers to start unloading the goods. When half the truck was unloaded, he called his men to stop and asked them to go aside to rest.
The driver jumped into the car and quickly found several large marked cardboard boxes. These cardboard boxes contained computer CPUs worth tens of millions of yuan.
Mao Xinli walked forward with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work! When I finish what I'm doing, I'll ask you to take a sauna in the evening."
"Okay, anyway, I won't return to Xiangjiang until tomorrow."
The driver and the person escorting the car looked at each other and knew that they were going to have fun again tonight.
"Don't even move! Put your hands up, hold your head, and squat down!"
Before the carton containing the computer CPU was unloaded, many people suddenly rushed in from outside. All of them were customs anti-smuggling agents and armed police.
The Mao brothers stood there dumbfounded. Because they did not obey the instructions, they were thrown to the ground by the soldiers who rushed up.
"We are ordinary drivers, we don't know anything."
The driver of the container truck raised his hands and held his head while shouting. This guy is a veteran and knows what to do for the best advantage.
"Stop shouting. We've been watching your car before it even entered customs. If you have anything to say, go to the interrogation room and say it. Take them all away..."
There were five or six workers in the warehouse, and they were also taken away. A group of people came to the car outside the warehouse.
The scene he saw in front of him was really a big show for Li Hao.
When many police officers got off the cars surrounding the warehouse, Li Hao knew that the Mao brothers might have committed a crime.
"Uncle, the Mao brothers have been doing parallel import CPU business in Huaqiangbei. However, these two are very cautious and rarely show up. After all, they are engaged in smuggling."
Hu Yang smiled and explained to Li Hao, and then Li Hao figured out what was going on.
"Haha, you really deserve it! How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? The Mao brothers are shameless and lifeless for money. Now their wish is granted. Go squat in the house."
Li Hao is not a young man who doesn't know anything. The crime of smuggling is relatively serious. The Mao brothers have obviously been doing it for a long time. It is estimated that after this capsize, they will disappear for at least several years.
The personnel guarding the scene were left behind, and a group of vehicles left the storage area with a huff. The Mao brothers and others were all taken away. What awaits them will be many years of life behind bars.
"Uncle, let's go too. This is the end of the matter about the Mao brothers. Don't mention it to anyone outside in the future."
Hu Yang plans to reward Han Wen and Li Jie with 300,000 yuan each, and the other people involved in this incident will each be rewarded with 50,000 yuan.
However, he also issued a gag order, so everyone will forget about it in the future.
"Yang Yang, I spent most of the day watching the show today. Now, I'll treat you all to dinner and let's have a few drinks."
Li Hao was undoubtedly in a happy mood. In order to celebrate the arrest of the Mao brothers, he decided not to get drunk or return home today.
Of course, Hu Yang would not be disappointed and readily agreed.
"Awen, call Dacheng and ask him to bring a few people over to replace you tonight. You and Ajie have the day off today and can drink as much as you like."
