Xu Yun also knew about the current situation of smuggled cars in the country. There were really too many of them. Based on the real income of Hua Xia, there were not many people who could afford to drive those astronomical luxury cars. Even if they were businessmen, it was difficult to afford such expensive cars.
But what was the current situation? Some of them were not involved in big businesses, but they could easily drive luxury cars that were worth millions. Perhaps their entire business investment did not even amount to a few million. How could they afford to drive luxury cars worth millions?
In Hua Xia, there was no need to mention how high the import tariff was. It was quite high. What kind of car could you buy with three or four hundred thousand? It was nothing more than some mid-range cars. It was impossible to buy a real luxury car.
But waterwheels were different. Waterwheels were cheap.
Therefore, the customers of these smuggled waterwheels were not ordinary office workers. There was no real meaning for office workers to use these "luxury" cars. The only use was to show off. The price of the equipment might be to be annoyed by the boss and be fired.
Therefore, these kinds of cars were liked by the bosses of some companies in the start-up stage. The purpose was very simple. It was to "show off"!
In Hua Xia, if you drove a car worth five hundred thousand, you could only talk about business worth five hundred thousand. One million could talk about business worth one million. If you wanted to talk about business worth millions or tens of millions, if you did not even have a car worth a few million, how could you talk about it?
This was the conclusion obtained through practice.
Then there were the mine owners of the various mines. As long as they were in the mines, there was no need for a license. The business formed a win-win situation. If the buyer drove a luxury car, the group of people they came into contact with would definitely be different. The bread would be left for the small people, and they would eat a bigger cake!
Moreover, this kind of car would not be driven forever. When they used the face and aura of this luxury car to make a lot of money, they would buy a proper luxury car. These waterwheels were basically used for transition. It was a springboard for some people who did not have money to become rich.
The population base of Hua Xia was so large. There were too many people who did not have money to become rich. Therefore, the demand for this kind of springboard was very high.
On the Fen Jin Road in Hong Kong and Macau, there were dozens of waterwheel shops of all sizes that operated smuggled cars. These waterwheel shops mainly operated new or second-hand luxury cars with the left driver's seat. You could see the clues, right? The port area was the right driver's seat area! How could it be the same as the continent?
In fact, he was right, because nine out of the ten high-end luxury cars in the left driver's seat would end up in Hua Xia.
Generally, the price of a supercar transported from overseas to the port area by ship was about 10,000 yuan. Air transport might be more expensive, at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
Under legal circumstances, the transportation cost was very cheap. You could check the cost on the major logistics companies' websites. The real expensive cost was in the smuggling process. The cost of a car entering the mainland from the port area was more than 100,000 yuan. As for how it got in, everyone basically knew. After all, if the management was strict, such a situation would definitely not happen. Obviously, there were people who neglected their duties.
Of course, it was not easy for these carriages to enter the mainland. It was quite troublesome to cross the mountains.
The destination of these waterwheels was a place in the southern part of the continent called the Yellow River. Many people knew that the waterwheels here were high-end and cheap.
Once these cars entered the mainland, they would no longer be able to do business openly. Not everyone would be able to see these cars on the streets. They would be able to choose from them as if they were buying cabbages.
That was impossible. It was pure nonsense.
In the mainland, all the waterwheel businesses were done behind closed doors. This was against the law. Who would do it openly? Wasn't that just looking for trouble?
The price of a waterwheel was generally one-fifth of the normal price. Basically, there would be a free car service to buy a car here. No one was willing to take the risk of driving it back. After all, it might be checked on the road. However, since these buyers dared to buy it, it meant that they had connections in the local area. At least, they were familiar with the traffic police, so they were not afraid of being checked.
The people who delivered the cars were not worried. After all, how many people would check cars on the highway? How many people with more than ten years of driving experience had never encountered a traffic police car check? There should be a lot of them.
Moreover, even if they were checked, so what? This kind of car would be confiscated if it was checked. There was no benefit for the inspectors. As long as they paid a few thousand yuan on the spot, they would be released directly. It was not to slander some people who were in charge of the inspection here. This kind of thing was too common in Hua Xia.
There was a saying that was good. Which truck driver did not overload? How could they make money without overloading? Why was it that once overloaded, it would be doubled? Because if they were caught overloading by a little, they would also be given money. If they were caught overloading by a few times, they would also be given money.
Since the money for feeding dogs and buying roads was the same, then they would be overloaded.
Every day, there were many places in Hua Xia that were under construction … Why was there a need to explain?
Back to the topic, because the transactions of these smuggled cars were very secretive, these smuggled cars were "experienced in the battlefield" when they entered Hua Xia. It could be said that it was relatively safe.
Therefore, high-end American goods like Blue Ice were basically smuggled into Hong Kong and Macao by means of some means. Then, they used the smuggled car channel from the port to Hua Xia to enter the mainland with these waterwheels.
In this case, it was very safe. Even if they were checked, the people who checked would be targeting the waterwheel. Therefore, their attention would not be on the drugs. Naturally, they would not bring any anti-drug dogs or other working dogs. Therefore, some drugs might be hidden in the car and would not be easy to find.
In the end, even if they caught the culprit, it would be nothing more than a punishment for smuggling. How much compensation could they get by confiscating the car? The waterwheel was not worth much. This was much less than the punishment of being caught for smuggling drugs.
This was simply too safe.
As long as the vehicles could enter the mainland smoothly, they could be dismantled in these hidden places. Then, these goods could naturally start to circulate through their own channels.
Now that the inspection system was so strict, this was probably the safest, most effective, and lowest-cost way for American goods like these to enter Hua Xia.
Anyway, they were just transporting the goods. Adding something in the car was the same.
After all, most of these cars were brought in from North America, especially large cars with large displacement. That was the favorite of North Americans. Who let them be in a big place with a small population? Gasoline was not worth much.
Therefore, Xu Yun and Chen Wei could basically infer the origin of this kind of goods. In this case, this triangular-eyed man really piqued Xu Yun's interest. Maybe he could find a big clue through this triangular-eyed man and catch a big fish.
"It looks like we have to catch this guy." Xu Yun clenched his fists. His knuckles cracked. "No matter what channel he used to get this kind of goods, we have to dig out some information from him."
"You're a must." Chen Wei also nodded. "I really didn't expect that we would be able to dig out such a big thing in the end."
Xu Yun said coldly, "These smugglers have already seriously affected the country's economy. The consequences are very bad. They actually colluded with drug traffickers from the United States to kill two birds with one stone. If we don't give them such a good opportunity, it would be a waste of such a good opportunity."
When Chen Wei heard Xu Yun's words, he could not help but laugh. "We're really lucky to have met you in this matter. Otherwise, even if we could catch everyone in this line, we might have missed this big clue and let this big fish escape."
"Yes, once they escape, we don't know when we'll find another chance to catch them. They can continue to harm people for many years." Xu Yun said, "Director Chen, this time we can't let them go."
"They can't escape from Piano Island." Chen Wei also clenched his fists. "I want them to never return. It's impossible for them to escape. Even if I use all the available forces on Piano Island, I won't let any of them escape. "
Xu Yun was satisfied with Chen Wei's protection.
Thinking that Han Yan 'er, who had contributed so much, was going to go on a solo mission, Xu Yun was also worried. He decided to go back and make a plan for Han Yan' er so that when she went to the bar again, she would be more natural.
Ensuring Han Yan 'er's safety was Xu Yun's top priority.
