More than two months have passed, and the Chinese New Year is approaching.
During this period, the lives of Su Tianyu and others did not change much. The business of the dirty gang was running as usual, and the smuggling business under the table also made three consecutive orders.
With the success of the first trip, the number of cargoes in the following orders continued to increase. In the last trip, Su Tianyu and others unloaded more than 400 boxes of cargo from the ship, and the three speedboats originally used to receive the cargo increased to seven. In short, the outline of the entire sea business became clearer and clearer, and the division of labor within the team became clearer.
The business was getting better and better, and everyone got more and more money, from more than 20,000 yuan at the beginning, slowly becoming 40,000 yuan, 60,000 yuan, and the last time the Su family got nearly 80,000 yuan.
This kind of huge profit also increased the enthusiasm of the three families of Su, Bai and Kong to do this business. When the business was done with the third order, Su Zhengcai, as well as the old man of the Bai family and the old man of the Kong family, had already begun to use their connections to contact new bulk cargo channels. Because Yu Mingyuan had already made it clear that the supplier's quantity could be increased, as long as the goods were sold quickly and there were connections, there would be no shortage of goods.
However, before the new sales channel is established, the profit sharing ratio within the team will remain unchanged, and Su, Bai and Kong will still get 10% of the profit.
To be honest, this share ratio is slightly high, because the work currently done by Su, Bai, Kong and the other three companies has no technical threshold at all. At most, when distributing goods, they can use their garbage trucks as cover to reduce the risk of exposure, but this will not allow them to get a 10% share.
Therefore, the price that Yu Mingyuan offered was more because he saw the potential of the three companies in expanding their sales channels. They all had regional circles, and once the channels were opened, the number of consumers might increase several times, so it was normal to give them a little more money at the beginning to support them.
…
On Saturday night, there was a downpour in Longcheng City, with thunder and fog outside.
In the Su family garbage dump, Su Tianyu sat in Tiannan's office, holding the phone and said to Yu Mingyuan: "There will be more goods arriving tomorrow night, right?"
"Yes." Yu Mingyuan nodded: "You should make arrangements in advance, eat normally, and leave normally."
"Okay, got it." Su Tianyu hung up the phone, stretched his waist and said, "Damn, I have to stay up late again tomorrow night."
"You're getting tired. I'll let Tianbei carry you over."
"Goodbye, I only do one or two jobs a month, there's no need to trouble you, second brother." Su Tianyu smiled and replied, pointing outside the door, "I'll go find Daxiong and give him some instructions."
"Okay." Su Tiannan nodded.
Su Tianyu walked out of the main building, holding an umbrella, and came to the workshop. He stood under the awning and shouted, "Big Bear!"
"I'm here, Brother Xiaoyu!" Big Bear bent down and ran out.
"We will pick up the goods tomorrow night. You need to go back to the third floor today to prepare." Su Tianyu said softly, "Check the equipment, diesel and so on. If anything is missing, call Zhang Hao."
"Okay... okay, I... got it." Daxiong is now the warehouse manager in the team, because Su Tianyu not only lets him live on the third floor for free, but also pays him an extra 300 yuan a month for night shift fees, and is specifically responsible for managing the work tools.
"Okay, that's it, I'll go back first."
"Okay." Daxiong also responded: "I'm off work, I'll be heading back soon."
"be safe!"
"No...it's okay, Brother Xiaoyu." Big Bear grinned.
After the two finished their discussion, Su Tianyu drove the bus home, while Daxiong wore a raincoat and rode a bicycle, taking more than 40 minutes to get back to the third floor.
Around the beach, the waves roared and the wind howled.
Daxiong stopped his bicycle and looked up to see a coast guard vehicle and two off-road vehicles parked in front of the door on the third floor. The lights in the building were also on.
Daxiong was not surprised to see this scene, because Tang Baiqing and others' unit was nearby. When they were on night shift, they would come to the third floor to play cards. To put it bluntly, they were avoiding work. There were ordinary coast guards patrolling the sea, but these second-generations with connections were too lazy to stay up late on the ship. When it was time to go to work, they would go to the unit to punch in, and then drive out in the name of patrol and find a place to kill time.
Tang Baiqing and others not only come here to play cards sometimes, but also take time to go to Longkou to party and look for girls. In short, they live a carefree life and look very free and easy.
Daxiong, wearing a raincoat, walked quickly into the third floor. As expected, he saw Tang Baiqing and six or seven other people sitting at the table playing Texas Hold'em. They were betting a lot, and the table was full of cash of largest denominations.
"Brother Tang, Brother Zhou...you are here!" Daxiong greeted them.
"Is Sha Xiong off work?" Tang Baiqing asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Big Bear never corrects the way others address him, as if he has become completely accustomed to it.
"Damn, the water and wine are all gone." Tang Baiqing picked up three hundred-dollar bills from the table and handed them to Daxiong, saying, "Go buy some more snacks and spicy food. The rest of the money is yours."
Daxiong nodded when he heard the voice: "Okay, Brother Tang!"
Every time Tang Baiqing and his friends came here, they would ask Daxiong to run errands and wait on the police. If there was any change left, they would not ask for it. Sometimes, when their friends who played cards forgot to give them money, Tang Baiqing would even say jokingly, "Fuck, you're wasting your money, Silly Xiong. You should give me a little tip!"
Daxiong took the money, turned around and ran out, riding his bicycle to the supermarket three or four kilometers away.
Inside the house, everyone continued to play cards. Tang Baiqing had good luck and won three or four thousand yuan in just over twenty minutes, so he was in a very happy mood. However, he did not expect that a blind person would come.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, a white car stopped at the door of the third floor. A fashionably dressed girl pushed the door open aggressively, got out of the car, and walked into the three-story building.
Tang Baiqing heard the noise and glanced back, frowned and sniffed habitually: "Why are you here?"
"Tang Baiqing, are you a human being?! I called you for a few days, but you didn't answer. What do you mean?"
"Don't shout." Tang Baiqing said with a gloomy face: "Wait a moment, I'll tell you after the game is over."
"What the hell!" The girl's face was not good. She looked at the sickly white face with glaring eyes and rushed to the table, messing up the cards on the table: "You must give me an explanation today!"
"Are you fucking crazy?!" Tang Baiqing stood up suddenly and pushed the woman with his hand: "I'm playing cards, can't you see?"
The two of them started arguing with each other in a tense situation. When the people around them saw that they couldn't play anymore, they all took their money and stood up.
"Old Tang, let's stop here today."
"Stop arguing, both of you. We're leaving first. Sit down and have a good chat."
“…!”
Everyone greeted each other in unison, took their things, and left the third floor, leaving the private space in the room to Tang Baiqing and the woman.
Outside, the rain was pouring down with a loud noise.
Inside, the lights were dim and the atmosphere was depressing.
Tang Baiqing sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, took two deep puffs and said, "Are you sick? It's something we both agreed to, and you're still involving me?"
"Fuck, are you talking like a human being?!" The girl was not a pushover: "After you've had your fun, you don't care about others anymore? I'm telling you, I'm pregnant, you can do whatever you want!"
"Then what do you want to do?" Tang Baiqing frowned and asked, "You still want me to marry you?! I have a partner and I'm going to get the marriage certificate soon, don't you know?"
"What about me?"
"The child was beaten. I'll give you some money later." Tang Baiqing sniffed, threw away the cigarette butt, turned around and walked out.
The woman looked at his attitude and instantly flew into a rage. She stretched out her hand and pulled Tang Baiqing's arm and yelled, "You think I'm your prostitute, don't you? I'm telling you, you have to give me an explanation today...!"
"Don't touch me, let me go!" Tang Baiqing was about to leave while struggling with the other party.
The girl instantly broke down and burst into tears, tearing at Tang Baiqing and shouting, "I'm telling you, if you don't give me an explanation, I'll go find your partner and make trouble. I'm not good, and no one is good!"
"You're fucking crazy!" Tang Baiqing had been trying his best to control his emotions, but he had many bad habits in his life. He could be more restrained in front of strangers, but he was moody with acquaintances. The girl kept pestering him and even got physical, so his eyes turned red: "I tell you, it's useless to fuck her! We both agreed, you can sue whoever you want!"
"Don't think I don't dare. I'm going to your house tomorrow, to your boyfriend's house, and we won't be friends."
"Fuck you, are you not done yet?!" Tang Baiqing was so angry that he picked up an unknown object on the cabinet and swung it down without thinking.
“Bang!”
There was a muffled sound, and the girl who was still playing around suddenly stiffened.
Tang Baiqing pushed the other person away and said, "Get lost!"
The girl fell to the ground with a thud, and her body twitched instantly. Tang Baiqing turned around and wanted to leave, but when he saw her fall, he instinctively looked back.
On the ground, the girl rolled her eyes, her whole body twitched, and blood was oozing out of her temples and the back of her head at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Tang Baiqing was confused.
“Bang!”
The door opened and a sturdy young man, covered in sweat, walked in carrying several food bags.
