Chapter 20： : Smuggling business

There is a gun.

took enough bullets again.

Old Mike settled the accounts, the principal plus a 30% premium, a total of more than 3,800 U.S. dollars, which is not a small sum of money.

It's not expensive on credit anyway.

Hardy signed and left.

When they returned to Bill's house, this place had become their stronghold. Everyone was fiddling with guns in the living room. Hardy looked at their posture and said that with these guns, it would be a pity not to rob a bank.

Of course he will not really go to grab the bank.

There are many ways to make money,

There is no need to stir the nerves of the government and the police.

"Brothers, let me talk about the next job." Hardy said.

Everyone looked at Hardy.

They didn’t come to Los Angeles for retirement. They naturally knew that they would participate in gang fights, but no one was scared here. They were all veterans who had been fighting on the battlefield. They were a little excited when they heard that there was a combat mission.

"I told you before that the Jewish gang is now in conflict with several other gangs in Los Angeles. It involves the Irish gang, the Spanish gang, the Mexican gang and even other gangs. I need more detailed information."

"You are all new faces, which are good for investigation. Henry and Matthew are two of you to investigate the intelligence of the Irish, and Neil and Leo are two of you to investigate the intelligence of the Spanish gang."

Henry, Matthew, Neal and Leo nodded immediately.

"Sean and Ryder are still in charge of daily transactions, while Richard and Kerry are in charge of following the car. Be aware of possible sneak attacks by the enemy at any time."

Several people who were spotted also expressed their understanding.

Hardy thought for a while, then called Great Ivan and told him to pay attention to the Mexican Gang, the Polish Gang and other gangs.

Great Ivan immediately said that he would investigate it carefully.

early the next morning.

Everyone simply touched their heads and went out. Hardy took Sean and Ryder to deliver the goods, while Richard and Kerry drove Bill's Ford to follow behind, ready to deal with possible situations.

There are a large number of weapons in the Ford car.

Time flies for a week, and this week is surprisingly quiet, giving people the illusion that the whole of Los Angeles has become peaceful.

But a big event happened on this day.

......

"Woo--Woo--"

The loud whistle sounded.

A huge container ship sailed into the Port of Los Angeles.

As soon as the freighter stabilized, a few cars appeared at the port, and dozens of workers in customs and police uniforms got off the cars.

"an examination!"

Customs officers boarded the ship.

A container was opened, and it was filled with wooden boxes. The wooden box was opened and the sawdust was removed, revealing a bottle of red wine inside.

"Supervisor, it's French wine."

The supervisor looked at the entire container and nodded, "It seems that the informant is right. Detain it and check it clearly."

The staff gets busy.

Wooden boxes are all moved into the port warehouse, piled up like a mountain, after careful inspection, they contain various brands of French top wines.

Mouton,

Lato,

Pettus,

Marge,

There are also a large number of second-tier brands.

A total of 430 boxes, more than 2500 bottles.

"Supervisor, I have already ordered all French wines with a total value of more than 250,000 US dollars. The goods written on their customs declaration documents are toys and fishing equipment. The goods are completely inconsistent with the documents."

At this time, toys and fishing gear are duty-free items in the customs declaration.

If there is a tax, these smuggled goods may have to pay more than 80% of the import tariff.

In other words, the total price of this batch of goods exceeds 450,000 U.S. dollars.

"What did the person in charge of the freighter say?" the supervisor asked.

"He said he didn't know it at all."

The supervisor sneered twice, "I pushed him until it was clean, so I'll take him into custody first. This batch of goods will be detained directly, and report it to see how to deal with it."

......

Jewish gang boss Fred learned the news that this batch of red wine had been seized by the customs, and almost smashed the phone angrily.

That is 250,000 yuan.

The selling price exceeds 450,000.

He can be sure that this is definitely a ghost of other gangs, otherwise the customs can't be so accurate, and the goods will be seized before they enter the port.

This thing is too big.

Fred thought for a while, then picked up the phone again.

listening to the ringing on the phone.

Fred was very worried, things went wrong, and he didn't know how the boss would deal with him.

The phone is connected,

A low male voice came from the microphone.

"who is it?"

Fred became nervous unconsciously, "Mr. Siegel, it's me Fred."

"What's wrong with Fred?"

Fred carefully told the other party that the smuggled red wine was seized by the customs. When Fred finished speaking, an angry voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Fred, you have disappointed me too much, and your actions are weak. What I see these days is your inaction. Now I order you to act and crush them to me."

"For the red wine, I will find a way to get through with the customs, maybe I can come back, but it will cost a lot of money, you know!"

Fred was scolded and lowered his head not to say anything.

hang up the phone,

Fred clenched his fist.

He knew that his boss was using the money, and even secretly drew part of the company's funds. He had told him before that he had made every effort to make money during this period, but now he has messed up the business. No wonder the boss is so angry.

Order people to call second in command Alan Payne.

"Ellen, our goods have been seized by the customs. Big Siegel is very angry. We have to do something. What do you think?"

Alan Payne thought for a while.

"First, start the action team and launch retaliatory actions against the Irish. Second, the normal business has been affected, and the profit commission has been increased, so that the subordinates can do their own business well. Third, encourage their subordinates to take action. The division of action is four to six, and we can increase it to three to seven."

Revenge must be revenge, the Irish must be beaten down, or they will be more rampant.

Now that the business is affected, the increase in the share is used as an incentive bonus, and I want to make my people do better.

As for private operations, they are generally the actions of the subordinates who go out to make money on their own. Casinos, loan sharks, control bars, brothels, etc. are gang businesses. As gangsters, there are many ways to make money, such as theft, robbery, kidnapping, and extortion. Business with money.

Before the gang members went out to do business, they were divided into 46% with the gang, 40% of the gang members 60%, and Penn proposed to increase it to 37%, in order to stimulate the desire of those guys.

"Okay, it's so decided. You go to gather all the supervisors and the leaders of the districts, and give them a meeting in the afternoon to arrange tasks." Fred made a final decision.

Hardy received the notice and went to the headquarters for a meeting.

meeting room,

Fred sits in the main seat.

Second-in-command Alan Payne sat beside him There were more than twenty bosses sitting under him.

Hardy knew the people in it, such as the warehouse supervisor, and the bosses of a few other blocks, but he saw more people for the first time, such as the casino supervisor, the supervisor in charge of smuggling, the supervisor in charge of loan sharking, and they were far away. Boss of the block.

Many of these people saw Hardy for the first time, and they looked at him curiously.

Fred sullenly.

"A lot of things have happened recently. The Irish have united with other gangs and clashed with us. Taverns, nightclubs, casinos, and trucks were attacked and we suffered heavy losses."

"Today, a container of our red wine shipped from France was investigated. It can be guessed that it must have been a ghost of other gangs, which caused us heavy losses."

The others listened to Fred's speech, no one dared to speak out, they all listened quietly.

But they know,

The boss must have a big decision when calling everyone over.

"Three!"

Fred stretched out three fingers.

"This time the wine container was investigated, the time line and even the container number were all known to the other party, and there must be an insider in it."

The face of the supervisor in charge of smuggling became ugly.

He did not betray the organization, but there was a problem with his responsibility, and he could not shirk the blame.

"Williams, I will send someone to investigate this matter with you. You must find out the insider, ask all the circumstances, and then ~ Shen Hai!"

"That gangster cost us more than half a million dollars!"

Fred said through gritted teeth.

Smuggling supervisor Williams quickly stood up, "Yes, boss, I must do this thing well and find out that bastard!"
