Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 593, Section 183: Two Ways to Cook a Fish!
Tsingtao Beer was overjoyed to receive the tickets to the Dragon Palace Nightclub game. He carefully arranged the tickets one by one, and stopped complaining.

Spinach Dong straightened his leather jacket, glanced at his newly bought Rolex watch, and saw that the appointed time had arrived, but no one had shown up yet. What a flop!

"Who is Spinach East!"

Panda Boy, dressed in a dockworker's uniform, swaggered out of a nearby container, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and walked over to Spinach East, asking a question.

"I am!"

Spinach beckoned to Fire Dog with his finger. Fire Dog, understanding the gesture from the big boss, took out a bag and handed it over.

Opening the bag, he found it filled with stacks of red snapper. After a quick count, Spinach Dong tossed the bag to Panda Boy, saying, "You bastard! You have absolutely no sense of time. You're a complete failure!"

The panda cub, who was about to get angry, immediately beamed with joy when he opened the bag and saw stacks of red snapper inside. He retorted, "Damn it! It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Hong Kong is completely jammed."

"Alright! Brother Feng has already given instructions; I need to cooperate!"

"I've recently become good at teamwork!"

Traffic jams were indeed a good excuse. Spinach Dong wasn't one to hold a grudge, so he nodded and said, "Brother Sheng instructed you to only bring your eyes and keep your mouth outside the warehouse."

"After this is done, whichever of your damn Feng brothers gets promoted, you take his place."

"Open the door!"

After Spinach Dong relayed all of Sheng Ge's instructions, he had Panda Boy open the sealed door.

Getting promoted and making money, that's what really matters!
Panda Cub walked up to the gatekeeper, Guanlou, opened the bag, took out three stacks of red snapper, and stuffed them into Guanlou's pocket.

In front of everyone, Guan Lou, in his military uniform, couldn't accept the money like that. He blocked his colleague's attempt to force it on him, turned to the side, took off his military cap, and nervously looked around.

The panda cub immediately realized what was happening. He arranged the three stacks of red snapper into a triangle and put them into the military cap.

After Guan Lou received the uniforms, he nodded to Panda Boy, opened the small door, and let Panda Boy and the others in.

Panda Boy, Spinach East, and Tsingtao Beer walked into the warehouse. The warehouse was sealed with seals. Tsingtao Beer felt that it was a bit difficult, but he had to do what the boss ordered.

"Brother Dong! I need to be more careful with your business from now on!"

Tsingpi pulled a Casio calculator with a protective case from his pocket. On the back of the case was a mini sticky note. He also took the ballpoint pen that was clipped to his ear and prepared to do the calculations.

As a garbage collector in the water room, his job was to handle the filth for the gang.

"Old Master ordered it, do you dare say no? Don't be ridiculous! If you dare to go against Grandpa and say no, I'll treat you to the whole package tonight!"

Stop talking nonsense and get to work!

"Oh, right! Don't touch the sea cucumbers! These are the goods that Brother Sheng wanted, someone will come and take them over! Don't touch the seafood either, you can't handle it anyway!"

Spinach Dong didn't give Tsingtao Beer any face either, telling him to get things done quickly, but not to include the dried sea cucumbers in the calculations.

"Damn it! You don't hit someone in the face, and you don't insult someone by revealing their weaknesses! Give your brother some face in front of outsiders."

Tsingtao Beer cursed under his breath and began to take inventory of the goods in the warehouse.

In Cold Storage No. 15, not only are there dried sea cucumbers, but half of the frozen goods from Tian Tian Fish Farm are also concentrated in this warehouse.

There are over 300 boxes of just two top-grade dried abalone!
Tsingtao Brewery has channels to distribute these top-quality dried abalone to high-end Japanese restaurants in Honolulu and Los Angeles. These inexpensive goods are needed, and once the middleman inspects the goods, they are immediately put on a speedboat and arrive in Los Angeles in five days.

These high-end Japanese restaurants charge very high prices, at least 15% higher than the big players in Hong Kong. They have good products, and Tsingtao beer is given priority to Los Angeles to earn US dollars.

If you don’t make money, you’re a bastard!
"Brother Dong, these top-quality abalones are prone to problems. Instead of letting others profit, why not let me have them for free? I'll offer 260 yuan per head, how about it?"

"Don't worry! We're all family, I guarantee I'll offer the highest price!"

After thinking for a moment, Tsingtao Beer immediately asked if Spinach East could give him the cheap deal.

Spinach Dong decisively shook his head, indicating that he couldn't make the decision; Brother Sheng had already given the instructions, and he couldn't change his mind at the last minute.

"Damn it! This is top-grade abalone, the best quality from Japan. It would sell for 888 in Hong Kong! Two hundred and sixty dollars! You might as well just grab your weapon and rob it; that would be much easier!"

The little panda standing to the side couldn't stand it any longer and started mocking Tsingtao Beer, complaining that he was asking for an exorbitant price.

"Officer, that's not how you say it!"

"The goods cannot appear in Hong Kong. I need to store them, freeze them, and transport them. If the authorities close down and investigate, even if they don't see me in trouble, I'll still end up in jail for a few days."

"These are all costs, and I need to bear them!"

"It's very troublesome now. Even if it's counterfeit, it has to be washed. If there are any problems, I'll be the one to take the blame!"

When exposed, Tsingtao Beer was not ashamed, but instead spoke frankly and explained the difficulties involved.

"You'll get every penny you're entitled to! But you'd better not touch anything that's not yours to earn, Brother Tsingtao!"

"Brother Sheng knows very well who's just here to take advantage and who's a true brother!"

That's how it is with those who collect stolen goods; it's like pawnshops in ancient times. Even the emperor's dragon robe would be nothing more than a tattered rag at the pawnshop. Spinach Dong didn't embarrass Tsing Beer in front of the police, after all, they were all brothers in the same gang.

"Damn it! I don't have any abalone! Did Brother Sheng send me to collect these broken wooden crates?"

Tsingtao Beer reluctantly looked away and said impatiently.

Spinach Dong was also visiting the warehouse for the first time, and he didn't know the location of the goods, so he could only look at Panda Boy.

Seeing this, Panda Boy could only lead the way, taking Spinach Dong and the others to the back warehouse.

Upon entering the back warehouse, Tsingtao Beer beamed with delight; the wild game inside was simply too abundant.

"This is the inventory list compiled by the Fisheries and Agriculture Department!"

The panda boy took out a sheet from his pocket, which showed the quantity and weight counted by the fisheries and farmers department.

After taking the list, Tsingtao Beer walked under the light and looked at it carefully. The list was very long, with more than a hundred items. It took him a full three minutes to read through the list.

"Brother Dong, this list is completely useless!"

Tsingtao Beer put the list in his pocket and told Spinach Dong directly that the list could only be used as a reference.

"Follow the rules! I won't make things difficult for you!"

Spinach Dong was too lazy to argue and directly asked Tsingtao Beer to state its bottom price.

Looking at the dozen or so tiger skeletons with their flesh completely removed hanging overhead, Tsing Pi immediately said, "The boss ordered that I won't haggle over the price, Brother Sheng. If it's according to the list, this is worth over a hundred million."

"But Brother Dong, the selling price is the selling price, and the 'dirty money' price is the 'dirty money' price! They can't be confused."

"Besides, such a large number can't be handled by one company alone; it requires at least three to five companies to join forces!"

"But if there are too many people, we'll definitely be exposed. How about this, I'll offer a fixed price and cover everything, what do you think?"

These goods will take at least three to five days to process, which I don't have the time for. Besides, Handsome Sheng won't give me three to five days either!

Tsingpi took the ballpoint pen off his ear, wrote a long string of numbers on a mini sticky note, and handed it to Spinach Dong.

Forty-five million!

Spinach Dong glanced at the numbers on the sticky note and was stunned. He hadn't expected that the wild game in the warehouse would be so valuable!

However, Tsingtao Beer failed to deliver even half of the goods worth hundreds of millions. They are truly stingy!
"Brother Sheng's bottom line for me is fifty-five million, a fixed price, fifty-five million!"

"If it's less than this amount, I'll let someone else have it!"

Spinach East directly raised the price by ten million, hoping to recoup its losses.

"Fifty-two million! That's the highest it can go!"

"If you can't settle this amount, Dong-ge, you can go and help some other losers!"

Fifty-five million—that's an astronomical price! Whoever takes it on will lose money; they'll have to pawn their underwear!
Tsingtao Brewery doesn't have 50 million in hand. If he did, he wouldn't be a consignor; he would be in Australia sunbathing with blonde girls.

Such a large sum of money needs to be counted from the beginning of the account. The count from the beginning of the account is not free; 10% of the pure profit needs to be handed over as a commission. As for the interest to be paid, not a penny can be less.

After adding and adding, 30% of the net profit is gone!

Afterwards, I also gave the old man in charge of the business a few extra benefits, otherwise they wouldn't turn a blind eye next time and break the family rules to help me.

"make a deal!"

Spinach looked at the panda cub standing to the side, and seeing that the panda cub did not object, he nodded in agreement.

"OK! Dong-ge is a straightforward person!"

Tsingtao Beer tucked a ballpoint pen behind his ear, ripped off a sticky note, and tore it into pieces: "I need to make a call and get the money you need sorted out!"

Spinach Dong and Panda watched as Tsingtao Beer went to the self-service phone booth by the roadside to make a call. The money wouldn't be delivered to the warehouse because it was guaranteed by a certain organization; someone would deliver it directly to the branch office.

After Tsingtao Beer finished its call, it was Spinach Dong and Panda Boy's turn. They each gave their instructions to their superiors, and seeing that none of them objected, they were completely relieved.

Half an hour later, two refrigerated trucks arrived in front of Warehouse No. 15. The military officers opened the warehouse door and let the refrigerated trucks into Warehouse No. 15.

The Tsingtao Beer henchmen jumped off the truck and first unloaded the snake cages from the warehouse. Because of the air conditioning, the king cobras and banded kraits, which were hibernating in the soil, were all transported into the refrigerated truck.

With the combined efforts of the group of brothers, the three trucks were quickly filled.

Because they couldn't use the front gate, they had to use the back gate, and the three trucks disappeared into the darkness of the night.

The cold storage is so cold!
Panda Boy, Spinach East, and Tsingtao Beer all stood outside the warehouse, waiting for the truck to return.

It took a whole night to clean up the entire back warehouse.
