CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

"I think the best way now is for us to go back separately, each of us carrying 100 phones, and take a boat back. That way, we can safely deliver all these phones to China in less than ten days."

"Are you sure you're not joking? Do you know how far we are from China? It takes half a day to get here by plane, and at least three days by boat. We can only bring a hundred phones at a time, so even two trips would only get us two hundred. That means we'd need to make five round trips to get these phones back. Who's going to look after these phones while we're gone?"

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's unreliable suggestion, Gao Qilan immediately began to criticize it and explained the current situation.

"Well... what do we do now? We can't just leave the phone here. There are shops selling watermelon phones all over the place. If we try to sell it locally, we definitely won't be able to."

Seeing that Gao Qilan rejected his plan, Gao Qilin appeared very anxious. After all, this matter couldn't be delayed. The amusement park was currently unattended, and if they returned any later, something could happen. 977

"Let me think about this carefully. How about we go through the proper procedures? We already have proof of agency, so going through the proper procedures shouldn't be too much trouble."

After thinking it over, Gao Qilan couldn't come up with a good solution, so she chose to use the most traditional method.

At this point, Gao Qilin wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully for a long time, he really couldn't come up with any other solution, so he could only compromise in the end.

"It seems this is the only effective method now. Wait for me a moment, I'll go contact the customs officials right away."

After saying that, Gao Qilin took out his phone to look up information, and after some searching, he finally found out the location of the customs office.

Knowing the location, Gao Qilin didn't dare waste a moment and rushed there as fast as he could.

But when he arrived at customs, he found that there were far more people in line than he had imagined.

Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but complain:

"What's going on? Why are there so many people?"

Chapter 629 Why Not Go Rob Someone?

He paced anxiously outside the customs building, trying to think of a solution.

But at that moment he noticed that people were still coming in one after another. Seeing this, Gao Qilin knew that staying any longer would not be a solution, so he quickly got up and joined the long queue.

Although there were many people, most of them were trying to bring back illegal items, so customs did not allow them to pass, which made the flow of people move much faster than he had expected.

Before half a day had even passed, it was already Gao Qilin's turn.

At this moment, Gao Qilin recited all the words he had prepared in advance. After he finished speaking, he looked at the other party with a serious expression, waiting for a reply.

"I've learned a bit about the situation over there. If I remember correctly, people there can't afford watermelon-themed mobile phones. Are you sure you can use all those phones you're bringing back?"

Upon hearing what Gao Qilin wanted to take back, the other party immediately questioned him, and then looked at Gao Qilin with a disdainful gaze.

Upon seeing the other party's actions, Gao Qilin felt a surge of anger, because he knew that what the other party said was a complete mockery.

But just as he was about to curse, he swallowed his words, because he now knew that he was dependent on others. If he said something inappropriate, not only would the watermelon phone not be delivered, but even his people might be in trouble.

Faced with this situation, Gao Qilin forced himself to calm down and said to the other party in a calm and collected manner:

"Our local economy is quite strong; many people can afford watermelon-themed phones, so you can rest assured. After all, people on my side aren't stupid. If they really couldn't afford them, I wouldn't have bought so many at once. What do you think?"

The other party had intended to take this opportunity to mock Gao Qilin, but was now rendered speechless by his words, which created an awkward situation.

Upon seeing this scene, the staff member immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to say:

“You make a good point. If you think the people over there can afford it, then take those phones back with you. But let me make it clear first, we'll need to charge you 20% of the cost. How does that sound?”

"Twenty percent? Why don't you just rob someone!"

Upon hearing what the other party said, Gao Qilin couldn't help but complain. He knew that selling a mobile phone didn't earn much money at all, and now they wanted to give so much money to the other party. Naturally, he wouldn't agree to that.

"Mobile phones are high-tech products and are prone to data leaks. Therefore, for the sake of information security, we can only control them in this way. Please understand. If you cannot accept this price, there is nothing we can do. Please go back. After all, there are many people waiting behind us. We can't let your situation delay others."

Gao Qilin wanted to give a good rebuke to what the other person had said, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized there was nothing to complain about, so he put his words back down.

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Qilin stood up and said in a very serious tone:

"If that's how it is, then I won't bother with your customs this time. I'll keep the phone and sell it myself. I'm confident that with my sales skills, I can definitely carve out a market in your country!"

After Gao Qilin finished speaking, he turned and left, and at that moment the staff began to gossip behind his back.

"With his limited abilities, he actually thinks he can open up the market in our country. I really don't know where he gets the courage."

"Yeah, there are tons of watermelon vendors where I live. You can find a watermelon phone shop every few steps. I wonder where they're located. Are they going to open one in some deserted area? Nobody would go there then."

As they spoke, the people couldn't help but laugh. Because they were speaking loudly, Gao Qilin heard everything they said, which ignited a fire of anger within him.

However, with so many people around, he couldn't say anything, so he could only swallow his anger and head outside.

"How's it going? How's the customs team doing? Have they received their certificates yet?"

Seeing that Gao Qilin returned so late, Gao Qilan assumed that things had been settled and immediately began to ask him questions, looking very expectant as she finished speaking.

"Don't even mention it. Those people are just taking advantage of their master's power. They actually demanded 20% of the fee. I really don't know what they were thinking."

"Twenty percent? Why don't they just rob people? That's outrageous!"

Upon hearing the number Gao Qilin mentioned, Gao Qilan also joined in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining or criticizing) because he knew what 20% meant.

"There's no need to argue with them. We'll just skip customs. I refuse to believe there's no other way to get these phones back besides customs."

Chapter 630 Preparing to Smuggle People Across the Border

"Have you thought of any other solutions?"

Hearing Gao Qilin's tone, Gao Qilan felt that he had been thinking for a long time, so she looked very expectant and focused all her attention on him.

“I now think it’s more reasonable to smuggle the watermelon phones back home, and we’re only transporting a thousand phones, so even if we’re discovered, it won’t have much of an impact on us.”

"Smuggling? Are you out of your mind? If we get caught, we can forget about doing business in the future."

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's method, Gao Qilan resolutely refused; he simply did not want to take the risk.

"But besides this method, are there any other methods we can use right now?"

"This……"

Faced with Gao Qilin's question, Gao Qilan was at a loss for words.

“This is the only way we can use right now. If we don’t find a way to smuggle ourselves back, we’ll probably face even more problems later. Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to handle the smuggling issue. It won’t be a problem for you at all.”

Gao Qilin felt that Gao Qilan was only saying that to avoid trouble, so he took all the blame upon himself. There was a certain advantage to doing this, namely that it would not implicate Gao Qilan if it were discovered.

"Well... then please be careful. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, remember to call me and I'll definitely try my best to help you."

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, Gao Qilan could not say anything more and could only do as he said.

Upon seeing that she was particularly interested, Gao Qilin immediately contacted some friends he knew there, hoping to find out if they knew anyone who could help him smuggle himself into the country.

But when they heard that Gao Qilin was going to smuggle things across the border, these people began to persuade him against it.

"I think this method is really unsafe. Instead of thinking about smuggling yourself out, you should think of other ways."

"That's right. If this gets discovered, you'll be in big trouble. You're such a capable person, I don't want you to ruin your life because of this."

Given Gao Qilin's situation, no one wanted him to do this.

But Gao Qilin has now made up his mind that no matter how they try to persuade him, he is determined to smuggle himself back home.

At this point, the others couldn't say anything more. After some thought, one of them said:

"Since you insist on smuggling yourself back, I have a suitable candidate on my side. He is Han Jie, and he is also from your side. If you ask him to help you, it should be better."

"Thank you so much, I'll contact him right away."

At this moment, Gao Qilin felt like he had found a lifeline. After hanging up the phone, he contacted Han Jie.

Because of Han Jie's strong professional skills, many people knew him, and it didn't take long for him to contact Han Jie.

After exchanging a few words with the other party and establishing a good rapport, Gao Qilin got straight to the point and explained his purpose for coming.

"I think you're aware of the situation in China. Not many people use Xigua (a mobile phone brand), so I came here with the idea of ​​helping Xigua phones develop in China. Would you be willing to help me with this?"

"You just want to use my boat to smuggle yourself out, why make it sound so complicated?"

However, after Gao Qilin finished speaking, the other party retorted in a very disdainful tone. It turned out that he had guessed Gao Qilin's intentions the moment he saw him.

"Alright, we're all from the same country. If I help you with this, I'm afraid no one else will. But I don't like doing things for free. If you don't give me something in return, I'm afraid I won't have much motivation to help you."

Gao Qilin immediately understood the meaning of his words. After he finished speaking, he quickly searched his pockets and soon pulled out a pile of money, placing it in the other man's hand and saying sincerely:

"I didn't bring much money with me this time, so this is all I can give you. If you think it's not enough, I will make up the difference after we finish our business."

"There's no need for that. This amount of money is enough. If you're determined to smuggle yourself across, then come to the port to find me at 10 p.m. tomorrow. Remember to bring whatever you want to smuggle yourself across so I can arrange a spot in advance."

Upon hearing the other party's agreement, Gao Qilin immediately appeared very excited. After confirming the location, Gao Qilin immediately hung up the phone and took out his suitcase to put all the phones in front of him inside.

At this time, Gao Qilan was unaware of the situation on his end. When she saw Gao Qilin put all the phones away, she looked puzzled and said:

"What are you doing? Why are you hiding all these phones?"

"Didn't I tell you a while ago that I was going to smuggle myself back? Now I've already arranged the boat and set the time, so I thought I'd pack my things first so I won't be scrambling around when the time comes."

"You're actually considering smuggling yourself in?"

Chapter 631 Delivering the Items to the Ship

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, Gao Qilan looked bewildered. She wanted to offer some advice, but seeing Gao Qilin's certainty, she knew that nothing she said would be of any use. She could only take a deep breath and say:

"If that's the case, then be careful. After delivering the items, take a plane and leave. If the hidden phone is discovered, and you're still on the ship, then you'll be in big trouble."

"You don't need to tell me about this. I'll keep an eye on it. Alright, it's almost time for my appointment with Han Jie. I have to go now. If anything comes up on your end, just remember to contact me."

At this moment, Gao Qilin glanced at the time and immediately ran to the place they had agreed upon.

Because Gao Qilin arrived early, there was no one else around when he came to this place.

"This place is so quiet, there isn't a sound of human voices at all. How long has it been since I've enjoyed life like this?"
