Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 110 Real Business Warfare 2 (6K)

Three motorcycles slowly came to a stop, and traffic police officers wearing red and yellow fluorescent uniforms got out to observe the situation.

Li Zhijian instructed his two men: "A-Biao, go and investigate the tire tracks. A-Wei, go check on the injured!"

At first glance, it didn't look like a serious car accident. Li Zhijian had experienced similar situations many times, so he wasn't panicked at all.

When Wah-dee saw the police arrive, he rushed forward to complain: "Officer! I want to file a complaint!"

I was driving normally when I was suddenly hit from behind. Luckily, I braked in time, otherwise, I don't know how badly it would have happened!

Li Zhijian looked at Hua Di: "Did you call the police?"

A citizen ran over and said, "Officer, I'm the one who called the police. He's the one who was hit!"

Hua Di chuckled inwardly. He had already described the situation to this person based on his preconceived notions, and sure enough, the person became his witness!

Li Zhijian glanced at Hua Di but said nothing.

He glanced at the white Honda, then turned back to check the truck, where he found Jimmy still going in and out, carrying things. He frowned and asked:
"Hey, who are you? Is this your car? What are you doing?"

Jimmy replied without turning his head, "We're a delivery crew, so we have to clean it up if it's all scattered!"

Li Zhijian said irritably, "You should worry about your friend first, he's injured!"

Jimmy glanced to the side and saw that most of the people in the car had woken up by now, and a few of them were indeed bleeding from head injuries.

He waved his hand and said, "Officer, no one will die!"

For people involved in gangs, shedding blood is a common occurrence!
At this moment, Ah Biao, who had finished examining the tire tracks, returned and reported the situation. After listening, Li Zhijian pulled Jimmy out of the car:

"You were illegally changing lanes and overtaking; you bear primary responsibility for this accident!"

Before Jimmy could speak, the driver protested, "Sir, I was clearly changing lanes normally, and he suddenly hit the front of my car!"

Wah-dee immediately pointed at him and said, "Hey, don't try to twist the truth! I was driving normally in front of you, and you were the one who hit me because you tried to overtake me! So many people there can testify to that!"

The gangster, now awake, roared, "Damn it! You hit us and you still dare to be so arrogant! I'd like to see who dares to testify for you!"

Several well-meaning citizens were immediately annoyed upon seeing this. They had kindly rescued the person, but they never expected that he would threaten them after waking up!
They hadn't even seen clearly who hit whom before, but now they were all on Wah-dee's side:
"Officer, I saw it! They were the ones who overtook and crashed into the car in front!"

"Yes, it's them!"

Several thugs cursed, "Damn it! Are you all blind?!"

Li Zhijian immediately blocked their way: "What are you doing? Intimidating witnesses?"

Then he walked up to Jimmy: "The facts are clear, and there are so many witnesses. You can't escape the fines for your traffic violations! I'm giving you two choices."

First, you two reached a private settlement here.

Second, let's go back to the police station and talk there!

Jimmy rubbed his temples. His immediate priority wasn't the car accident, but delivering these packages!
Jimmy glanced at Wah-dee: "How do you plan to resolve this?"

Hua Di crossed his arms and chuckled, "5 yuan, let's pretend this never happened!"

"You son of a bitch! 5 yuan, are you robbing me?!"

Jimmy simply ignored Wah-di and said to the driver, "You guys stay here and resolve this with him!"

After saying that, he turned around and led the two people beside him back into the car to continue packing the packages.

"Hey officer, look at his attitude!"

Wah-dee wanted to keep bothering Jimmy, but the driver stopped him: "Kid, I'm driving. Talk to me about this!"

Jimmy quickly unpacked all the packages from the car; some of the packaging was torn, but he didn't care about those details at the moment.

He stood there, constantly checking his watch, waiting anxiously. A full hour later, his shop's spare truck finally came into view.

"What happened? Why did it take you so long to arrive?"

"Jimmy, we were rear-ended shortly after we drove off! That guy was harassing us and wouldn't let us leave, so we ignored the traffic police and drove straight at him!"

Jimmy glanced at the dent in the back of the car and knew it was Dongfeng Express's doing again.

At this point, he could only keep it in mind, repack the package into a new suitcase, and quickly get on the bus.

After Jimmy got into the car, he continued to observe his surroundings, reminding the driver and all other vehicles to keep their distance and avoid any intersections.

His demeanor made everyone in the car tense as well.

Huang Zijie sat in the car, feeling uneasy. He had switched jobs to Heji Express for a monthly salary of 6000 yuan, but he never expected to encounter these things!
We've already been surrounded and intercepted before even reaching the border, resulting in several car accidents. Who knows what awaits us on the road ahead?
What if a dump truck comes along and hits them all, wouldn't they all be sent to meet God in an instant?
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. If he had known, he would have just earned 3000 yuan steadily. He would never have encountered these problems at Dongfeng Express!

But it's too late to regret it now; we can only grit our teeth and keep going.

To Jimmy's surprise, the next leg of the journey was uneventful.

Twenty minutes later, standing at the entrance of the joint inspection building, Jimmy breathed a long sigh of relief. He had finally made it through this journey!
After entering the joint inspection building, they soon found someone to help them queue up.

He learned this trick from Dongfeng Express, which can effectively reduce queuing time.

But when these people saw Jimmy, they complained with long faces:

"You've finally arrived! We were already first in line, and we've been waiting for ages. The staff said we were taking up space and disrupting the order, so they kicked us out of the line!"

Upon hearing this, Jimmy slapped his forehead. According to the schedule, he should have been able to join the inspection line right after arriving, but the car accident had completely disrupted everything!
Jimmy glanced at his watch; it was already 1 p.m. He looked at the long line in front of him and felt a growing sense of unease. Would they have to start queuing all over again?

At this point, Huang Zijie said, "Boss, you can buy it! That's what we did when I first started out over there!"

Jimmy's eyes lit up. Yes, pay for a spot! The most important thing now is to save time!
Soon, swayed by the power of money, Jimmy and the four deliverymen filled out their forms and entered the customs inspection process.

"Stop! Open the box and take a look!"

Upon seeing the two familiar customs officers, Huang Zijie immediately smiled and said, "Greetings, officers! I know the rules and would never bring any prohibited items. Please feel free to check me!"

Huang Zijie had worked at Dongfeng Express for over a month, traveling to and from the Luohu border crossing every day. As a result, he was already familiar with many of the customs and passenger inspection personnel, so he felt no fear at all.

Upon opening the suitcase, the inspection officer saw the package inside, picked it up, examined it, and asked with a half-smile, "Hutchison Express? Not with Dongfeng Express anymore?"

Huang Zijie gave an awkward smile: "I'm just trying to make a living even with a new boss!"

The inspection officer smiled, tossed the package into the box, and said, "Alright, go!"

Huang Zijie quickly bowed and scraped to the two men, saying, "Thank you, sir! Thank you!"

He repacked his suitcase and was about to pull it away when the same inspection officer grabbed him: "Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?"

Huang Zijie looked puzzled: "Huh? Sir, didn't you say I could leave now?"

"Hmph! I'm telling you to come with me!"

After saying that, the inspection officer pushed Huang Zijie and said coldly, "Let's go!"

A moment later, Huang Zijie followed the inspection personnel to a familiar place, which was none other than the small dark room where Dongfeng Express's goods were specially inspected!
Inside the small, dark room, there were several other people traveling with them. Jimmy was arguing with the staff: "Why are you detaining us? We weren't carrying any prohibited items! I protest!"

"Whether something is prohibited or not isn't something you can decide with your words! An inspection is mandatory!"

Everyone looked over and saw a dignified-looking leader walk in. Huang Zijie recognized him as Wei Tingjian, the section chief of the travel inspection department!

Wei Tingjian glared at Jimmy and instructed, "Xiao Zhang, you must check carefully later. We can't let any dirty stuff enter our country!"

"Yes!"

Huang Zijie tugged at Jimmy: "Boss, this isn't Hong Kong Island. You'd better just cooperate with the inspection. Dongfeng Express has been inspected like this before!"

Jimmy glared at Huang Zijie: "Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

"They investigated for a while and then stopped, so I didn't take it seriously..."

Seeing that Jimmy was about to get angry, Huang Zijie quickly said, "Boss, based on my experience last time, we have a small amount of goods, so we can probably finish checking in less than two hours!"

Jimmy checked his watch. It would be 3 p.m. in two hours. He would deliver the packages then, and there was still time to make the deliveries today!
However, the subsequent inspection process was quite different from before. This young man, Zhang, inspected everything very carefully. He not only opened each package but also thoroughly examined it inside and out. He even had the police dog sniff it. Each package took him three minutes to inspect.

Half an hour later, seeing that they had only checked a dozen or so packages, Jimmy glared at Huang Zijie and asked, "Didn't you say you would finish checking them in less than two hours?"

"This...it wasn't like this before..." Huang Zijie couldn't explain it either.

Jimmy couldn't take it anymore and urged, "Comrade, can you hurry up? We're in a rush!"

Xiao Zhang shouted sharply, "Quiet down! I suspect you're smuggling drugs, so every item must be thoroughly checked!"

Upon hearing this, Jimmy suddenly realized that he had been reported. It must have been Dongfeng Express's doing! After that, Xiao Zhang continued his inspection at his own leisurely pace, getting up to walk around when he got tired, having a cup of tea, and then continuing.

Jimmy watched from the side, feeling frustrated and helpless.

As a result, by 3 p.m., before half of the packages had been inspected, another group of people came into the room.

Jimmy looked over and saw that all five people were pulling suitcases; it was his Hutchison Express!

Jimmy was really about to lose it. He and his two groups from Heji Express were all locked up here, and not a single one of them could get out?!

What kind of goods is he delivering?! What kind of courier service is he?!
Are you deliberately targeting us?

Xiao Zhang raised an eyebrow: "What? You want to cause trouble?"

Huang Zijie and the others quickly grabbed Jimmy: "Boss, calm down, please don't cause trouble here!"

When they came in, they could see clearly that there were armed soldiers standing at every post at the Luohu checkpoint. Even gang leaders and high-ranking officials had to shrink back here. Who would dare to cause trouble here?

Huang Zijie immediately added, "Sir! No, he's just a little anxious! We'll cooperate with the inspection!"

Xiao Zhang snorted coldly and then continued his inspection.

And so, time ticked by, and Jimmy watched as each of their packages was inspected. By 6 o'clock, when only a few packages remained, Xiao Zhang stood up:

"You wait here, I'll come back after I finish eating and continue!"

After saying that, he called his colleague Xiao Li over: "Hey, keep an eye on people for me, I'm going to the cafeteria!"

"Hurry up, the beef is amazing today! You can still get some if you go now, the next batch won't be until tonight!"

Seeing that there were only a few packages left to check, and the new employee just staring at them without moving, Jimmy couldn't help but say, "Comrade, we're in a hurry, could you check them for him so we can get through quickly!"

Xiao Li's face darkened, and he yelled at Jimmy, "You think you can teach me how to do things? All of you, behave yourselves! Stand still!"

He had heard from Section Chief Wei that everyone in this room was a member of the Hong Kong triads, and that there was no need to be polite to them!

After leaving the house, Xiao Zhang took off running towards the cafeteria.

This canteen isn't provided by their customs unit; it's a newly opened buffet restaurant near their border, called Sea Lion Restaurant!

They charge 5 yuan per person to outsiders, but customs officers only need to bring their credentials and they only pay 1 yuan per meal!
Although the meal wasn't cheap at the time, it had all kinds of meat, including chicken, duck, fish, beef, and pork, as well as Cantonese dim sum and other delicacies. Not only did it taste good, but more importantly, you could eat as much as you wanted!
Therefore, as soon as the restaurant opened, it became known as the canteen among the customs officers. Everyone rushed to go there, and it was always packed during mealtimes! The restaurant was forced to set a limit on the number of people during mealtimes, otherwise they really couldn't keep up with the demand!

Those who can't get in will have to eat at the company cafeteria!

In a corner of the restaurant, Wei Tingjian said with a smile, "We all come here to grab a plate of meat, but you, the big boss, only got a bowl of noodles!"

Ye Dongsheng chuckled and said, "Everyone's working so hard, I won't compete with the customs officers for meat!"

Wei Tingjian swallowed a mouthful of beef: "I brought my daughter and wife here for dinner just two days ago, and it was even better than eating at a restaurant! Our treatment is the envy of other organizations!"

Then he asked Ye Dongsheng, "Boss Ye, aren't you worried about losing money running a shop like this?"

Ye Dongsheng smiled faintly: "Whether I make money or not doesn't matter. As long as I can provide some convenience for our customs, I'll be satisfied!"

Wei Tingjian smiled, then said to Ye Dongsheng:

"Just because of this meal, if you say he's a drug smuggler, then I'll investigate him strictly as if he were a drug smuggler! But if he's innocent, we still have to let him pass!"

Ye Dongsheng laughed and said, "Of course, I was just making a normal complaint and report. I didn't mean to frame an innocent person. Don't make me sound like a big bad guy!"

Seeing the customs officers enjoying their meal in the restaurant, Ye Dongsheng smiled sincerely.

As long as it's within the rules, he'll get a lot of help at the checkpoint!

After a hearty dinner, Xiao Zhang patted his belly and swayed back home. He had spent 1 yuan but got at least 3 yuan back!

Meanwhile, Jimmy and the others in the small, dark room were exhausted and starving, feeling like they were in prison, enduring immense torment. When they saw Xiao Zhang return, they all greeted him with eager smiles, hoping he could quickly finish checking the remaining packages!

At 7:4 p.m., it was already pitch black. Jimmy, along with four others, finally emerged from the joint inspection building, pulling their suitcases!
At that moment, he felt an urge to shout out loud; it had been so incredibly difficult!
The driver, who had been waiting for almost a day, rushed over and said, "Boss, what happened? I thought you weren't coming today!"

Jimmy waved his hand: "Stop talking, just take us back!"

Huang Zijie said to Jimmy, "Boss, shall we grab a bite to eat first?"

Jimmy shook his head: "Let's deliver the stuff to the store first, then I'll treat you to a good meal!"

The main purpose of this trip was to deliver packages. Although he couldn't deliver them today, he still had to get them sorted at the store first, and then have the courier deliver them early tomorrow morning. It would still be considered a one-day delivery!

As for Ye Dongsheng's express delivery, he couldn't do anything about it anymore; he could just refund him tomorrow!
After getting into the car, Jimmy specifically asked the driver, "Has anyone come looking for trouble with you today?"

The driver shook his head: "No!"

Jimmy then instructed again, "Drive carefully later, don't rush, and keep a safe distance from other cars!"

"Don't worry, boss, I'm driving carefully! And there aren't many cars on the road late at night!"

Jimmy was naturally not going to relax. His experiences along the way made him realize that the last leg of the journey wouldn't be easy either. He was about to deliver the package to the store, so he had to be extra careful!
Unlike Ye Dongsheng's chosen shop, which was near the Luohu border crossing, Jimmy had no money, and the shop was located far from the border crossing. It took 40 minutes to drive there during the day, and more than an hour at night.

Jimmy glanced at his watch again; it was already past 8 p.m. After an hour of driving without incident, Jimmy breathed a slight sigh of relief and asked the driver, "How much further?"

"Boss, we're almost there, just two more intersections, less than 10 minutes!"

Jimmy was thrilled to hear this. After going through so much hardship today, he was finally going to deliver the goods. As long as the package was sent out tomorrow, Hutchison Express's first order would be a success! From now on, there would be a steady stream of customers and packages coming to his door!
Suddenly, the car shook violently, and Jimmy quickly grabbed the handrail: "What's going on?"

The driver slammed on the brakes, exclaiming, "Boss, it looks like there's a problem with the tires!"

The car wasn't going very fast, so it only traveled a short distance before coming to a stop.

The streetlights outside were dim. The driver pulled out a flashlight, got out of the car, shone it on the tires, and cursed, "Damn it! Which bastard threw a nail on the road! It punctured all our tires!"

Upon hearing this, Jimmy felt a sense of foreboding. Before he could even speak, the driver let out a scream, and the flashlight fell to the ground, rolling around and casting several shadows—all of them burly men in black wearing hoods!
"There are enemies!"

Jimmy had barely uttered those three words when the car door was yanked open, and a burly man grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the ground.

One punch gave him a black eye, two punches made his nose bleed profusely, and three punches knocked him unconscious!
Before Jimmy lost consciousness, only two words were in his mind: It's over!
Meanwhile, screams of agony could be heard from other people inside the vehicle.

In no time, the men in the car were dragged out, and the burly man kicked Huang Zijie a few more times: "Damn it, traitor! You'll die a horrible death!"

If the boss hadn't told him not to use excessive force, the big man would have really wanted to cripple this traitor!
After knocking them unconscious, the group dragged suitcases from the car and disappeared into the darkness.

After walking quite a distance and getting into a car at a fork in the road, the group took off their hoods, and the leader was none other than Xu Jiang!

"Brother Jiang, those guys won't have been bitten to death by wild dogs, will they?"

Xu Jiang snorted: "It's better if they die! Didn't you hear what the boss said? They're all Hong Kong triads, they deserve to die!"
If you ask me, if they dare to steal our business, we should shoot them dead!

These words reassured the group. They were all couriers for Dongfeng Express and veterans, and in terms of combat ability, they could easily defeat ordinary people.

This time, Ye Dongsheng specifically asked Xu Jiang to pick out a few daring and aggressive individuals. He treated them to a meal and some drinks, then encouraged them by saying that someone was coming to steal their business and that their income would decrease in the future. This immediately got the men excited, and they were ready to fight to the death if anyone dared to ruin their newly acquired good life!

So we finalized our plan to get started today.

Xu Jiang then instructed the group, "Pretend today's incident never happened. If the police come and ask, just say you don't know anything!"

"Brother Jiang, we understand! Nobody knows it was us! We're all sleeping at home right now!"

Xu Jiang smiled and nodded:
"Alright, we're all good brothers! The boss and I will remember this, and you'll definitely get your share of benefits in the future! I'll treat you to drinks again in a few days!"

The group exchanged glances, all beaming with joy. Their boss wasn't one to make empty promises; if he said there were benefits, there definitely would!
Xu Jiang started the car and drove each person home. He then drove back to the Dongfeng Express store and unloaded all the packages from the boxes.

Then he said to Xu Jiabao and the others in the store, "Jiabao, thank you for working overtime!"

"Brother Jiang, it's not hard work. The store pays us so much, it's only right that we do it!"

As they spoke, the group unpacked each package, replaced the original packaging with Dongfeng Express packaging, and then filled in the information again.

About half an hour later, after everyone had finished, Xu Jiang drove them home. On the way, he found a secluded spot to throw away a few empty boxes before finally driving to the Zhuyuan Hotel.

It was late at night, but Ye Dongsheng did not rest. After listening to Xu Jiang's report of the whole process, he smiled and praised, "Not bad! Xiao Jiang, you can now handle things on your own!"

Xu Jiang chuckled and said, "Not at all, it's all thanks to the boss's guidance! I'll definitely need the boss to give me more pointers in the future!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "Alright, you should go back and rest early too! Go back and pack your things, I'll go play golf with Director Luo tomorrow, and I'll show you around!"

Xu Jiang was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss!"
