Chapter 1272 – Smuggling
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Lai Shaohua, who was originally sitting on a chair to answer the phone, stood up with a jolt and asked eagerly, “Is it the David who is wanted by the US government? Elder brother Zhuang, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“It shouldn’t be a mistake, right? Peng Fei is interrogating him, eight or nine percent is him.”
Zhuang Rui didn’t dare to say it was a hundred percent, after all, this person’s appearance was completely different from the one on the wanted notice, if he wanted to determine his identity, he still had to conduct a DNA comparison, David had been in prison many times, this was not difficult to do.
“If it’s really him, old brother, you’ve made a merit!”
Lai Shaohua knew that although Zhuang Rui was young, he was still very steady in doing things, plus he was the party involved in that hijacking incident, since he had said that it was not far from the truth, it was basically David undoubtedly.
Because of this period of time the Libya region of the situation is becoming increasingly tense, the United States and Britain and the NATO garrison in Africa more and more, even in Central Africa also stationed a lot of NATO troops.
In this way, the domestic fleet will inevitably have some impact, the Chinese side is now on the domestic interests in Africa in the negotiations with the United States and Britain and other countries, the hands of David this is hated by the Americans, no less than to get a good card.
David’s behavior in the United States, has exceeded the “international police” can tolerate the bottom line, the U.S. government for his pursuit is also spared no effort.
Therefore, by catching David, the US can be prompted to make concessions on some issues, which will be of great benefit to the country’s interests in Africa.
“Take credit? What merit? Wait, Brother Lai, this person I want you to transfer to the US government, take the 200 million dollars, we’ll share half of it.”
Zhuang Rui was a bit puzzled by Li Shaohua’s words, his initial intention was just as he said, but it was just to send Li Shaohua a fortune, after all, the other party to help him smuggle the gorilla also had to bear great risks.
“How much money? Give me 100 million dollars?”
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Li Shaohua fell silent, he didn’t expect Zhuang Rui’s so-called sending him a fortune to actually be such a thing, and only after a while did he say with a bitter smile, “Elder brother Zhuang, I appreciate the good intentions, but this money, I can’t ask for it, and I guess that even your share of it, won’t be available for sure.”
Rao Li Shaohua was in a high position, but he was also shocked by Zhuang Rui’s words, this is 100 million dollars! Zhuang Rui actually said to give it to him personally, with the position he is in, if he really dares to take this money, it is estimated that he will be invited by the relevant departments to investigate when he returns to his country.
And if the person will be handed over to the hands of the state, by the relevant departments to negotiate with the U.S. side, the money may not be able to get, up to the national level of negotiations, not a few hundred million dollars can solve the problem.
If the U.S. side is willing to make concessions on a number of issues, then the Chinese side of the interests gained is also large, not to mention, is to be able to extradite some corrupt officials in China to reach an agreement, then the amount of money recovered may be tens of billions of dollars.
Of course, the specific how to operate, that is the relevant departments of the matter, Li Shaohua also know some of the inside of the doorway, is to first remind Zhuang Rui a sentence.
“Hey, I say Brother Lai, this can not be ah! This money and my little brother’s share of it, if I want to give it to the country, I might as well give it directly to the Americans.”
It’s not that Zhuang Rui is pretentious, this David is indeed Peng Fei captured, he handed over to Li Shaohua to dispose of already a bit of that, if another penny can’t be taken, even if he and Peng Fei as close as a brother, but also afraid that the other side will have some ideas.
Li Shaohua smiled at his words and said somewhat rascally, “It’s late, now that I know about this, if you don’t want Song Jun or your family to call you, despite the fact that it is handed over to the Americans.”
Seems to feel that his words are a bit unreasonable, the voice on the phone paused for a moment, Li Shaohua then said: “Older brother, if this matter is operated well, it will not let you suffer, don’t worry! Peng Fei’s side should give him some compensation, or let you pass it on as well.”
“Alright! But Big Brother Li, there’s one more thing, I need to ask for your help, find some more tight-lipped fighters to help me dismantle some things, better bring more professional tools over, well, Li Zhen will be arriving at your place soon, just let him lead the team at that time.”
Zhuang Rui thought for a moment, nodded his head and agreed, Peng Fei is not a money-minded guy, if he is dissatisfied, at most, he will subsidize him with his own money, a few hundred million yuan Zhuang Rui can still afford to pay.
But let such a big favor to Li Shaohua, Zhuang Rui still want to put forward some requirements, rely solely on the “Xuan Rui ship” on the dozens of crew sailors to dismantle the Golden City, the efficiency of not inevitably low, so he hit the brain to the Li Shaohua’s body.
In the modern army, the navy’s logistical support system is even more perfect than the air force, skilled labor is also the most, all kinds of tools, so as long as Li Shaohua agreed, Zhuang Rui is certain that within three days, the gold city will be dismantled pieces of armor.
What’s more, soldiers take obeying orders as their vocation, using these people in the army, there is absolutely no worry that there will be any word spread to the international community, and Zhuang Rui doesn’t even have to pay them a penny.
“Dismantling things? What do you want to do?”
Lai Shaohua didn’t know what Zhuang Rui’s idea was, but he didn’t dare to agree to it hastily, knowing that his every move abroad was being watched, and the slightest carelessness would lead to a diplomatic incident.
Zhuang Rui smiled at his words and said half truthfully, “Ahem, Brother Lai, I found an ancient site inside the Congo forest, there are some extremely valuable cultural relics inside, you also know that I’m playing with this, of course, I want to bring it back to the country.”
“Hey, you kid dare to let me help you smuggle ah! Alright, I promise you, give you a hundred warriors, and bring some cutting tools over.”
Lai Shaohua put his heart down when he heard this, he helped Zhuang Rui smuggle gorillas, in fact, it was considered smuggling, and then transporting some antique artworks and what not, that wasn’t a big deal.
Although Lai Shaohua is serving in the army, but he often go out to visit, dealing with people are all kinds of, he knows, there is an unwritten rule in the international community.
Is some civil or private formation of the expedition, even if it is in another country to find the precious treasure, as long as the country did not declare these treasures for the country, you as long as you have the ability to transport it out, generally speaking, the country can only be self-admitted bad luck.
Like the “Golden Lake” located in Colombia, in the last century there are countless adventurers to go there to salvage the treasure, many people have harvested a lot.
Until the seventies and eighties, the Colombian government declared martial law there, the army to protect the golden lake, will be returned to the state, but before the salvage of the treasure, they have no way to recover.
Therefore, if Zhuang Rui found any treasure in the Congo forest, even if it is transported out and announced the location of the treasure, the Congolese government at most can only painlessly raise a few protests, but take Zhuang Rui can do nothing.
Of course, all of this is to ensure that your treasure hunting action did not alarm the country under the premise, and the country’s protection efforts in this area of laws and regulations is also a great relationship.
If this thing happens in China, then it belongs to the act of theft and excavation, foreign adventurers will be expelled from the country even if they are not sentenced to imprisonment, but in the chaotic environment of Central Africa, it is nothing.
“Brother Zhuang, that kid confessed, he’s David, hey, it’s just to hand it over to the US government, it’s 200 million dollars!” Zhuang Rui had just finished talking to Lai Shaohua on the phone when Peng Fei climbed in from outside the castle climbing the vines.
“Where’s the man? Didn’t I say for you to keep an eye on him?” Seeing Peng Fei come in alone, Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but get anxious, that kid is not about money now.
“It’s okay, I knocked him out and tied him to a tree, he can’t run away.”
“Uh, this matter, the country took over, I guess that 200 million dollars can’t be taken, Fei Zi, I’ll make up this money to you!”
As the saying goes, pro-brothers settle their accounts, even if the two have a good relationship, Zhuang Rui has to put words into his mouth, as for whether he wants it or not, that’s Peng Fei’s business.
Peng Fei sniffed and said in disbelief, “Brother Zhuang, I knew that you would definitely stab the matter up, and don’t say anything about replacing me, running into that kid was purely a fluke, by the way, the whereabouts of that Xuande furnace that you’ve been longing to see, I’ve asked about that, but there’s still a couple of armed men guarding it there.”
National people thousands of years inherited the torture to force confessions, that is absolutely the foreigners pat on the back, but just half an hour, Peng Fei even David three years old peeped at his deadbeat dad and prostitutes circling the things are tortured out.
“Haha, this David is really a money-giving boy!” Zhuang Rui smiled at his words, that Xuande Furnace had indeed been on his mind for a long time, and now that it was back in his hands, it was an absolute surprise.
With Lai Shaohua’s strong support, Zhuang Rui’s plan to smuggle the Golden City was almost half completed.
In the evening of the same day, three large manned helicopters without any markings came to Zhuang Rui’s designated location and transported all forty-one gorillas back to the “Xuan Rui ship”.
The bearded captain has long received Zhuang Rui’s call, in the bilge transformed out of more than ten temporary rooms, used to place these gorillas, he is running the old ship of people, for smuggling these animals and so on, but also not the slightest psychological obstacles, come to this place in Africa do not smuggle some things back, that is not normal it!
Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei with David returned to the “Xuan Rui ship”, the same day late at night to David handed over to Li Shaohua, as for David can play a role in some level of negotiation, that is not Zhuang Rui worry about.
