Chapter 154 Warship Escort

Now that sales are booming, add machines, increase workers, increase production, and increase the amount of tobacco smuggled.

Just when Jiang Hao was planning his calculations, one of his team leaders, Sakadu, came over and reported with an eager expression.

"Boss, there may be something wrong with Brother Luca. The ship should have come back the day before yesterday, but it was a day late. I used a telegram to ask the other side. They said that Brother Luca had already set off the day before yesterday. I suspect that they left at sea. I don't know if it was a shipwreck or was caught by an Italian ship."

Jiang Hao frowned. It doesn't matter if he loses a trip. If Luca is caught, he will lose a capable arm, which he is unwilling to accept.

"Send a ship to search at sea, and then contact Adi to find out what's going on. Also, spend money to find a relationship to find out if he was detained by the navy. Regardless of life or death, you must find out the exact information about Luca. " Jiang Hao ordered.

"Yes boss." Sakadu replied.

At night, with definite news, Luca did have an accident. It was not the wind and waves that overturned the cargo ship, but was caught by a patrol ship of the Italian Navy, and even the ship and its people were detained.

David, Sakadu, Basali, Fabio, and Cassani all came, and David asked, "Boss, what should I do now."

Jiang Hao pondered for a while and said, "If we walk too much at night, we will encounter ghosts. We often smuggle at sea, and it is normal for us to be detained by the navy. I thought about this day, David, you can find a way to see if you can find a navy one. It doesn't matter how much you spend, try to save Luka and the others."

"I'll try the boss." Davey said.

However, they really don't have much contact with the navy, and it should be very difficult to find a relationship to get Luca out.

So Jiang Hao has to make arrangements for the follow-up.

"Sakadu, you are Luca's deputy team leader, and you are familiar with the situation of the guys on the ship. Anyone with a family will be given a pension of 5,000, and tell them that as long as we are there, they will be paid every month. Sending a sum of money will never leave them hungry."

Sakadu hurriedly said: "I understand the boss, I will do a good job of appeasing."

Hearing that Jiang Hao would continue to send money to the family of the arrested person, instead of throwing it away directly, these people felt hot in their hearts. Only with such a boss can they have a future and motivation.

Jiang Hao continued: "Our business can't stop, David, organize a shipment to Tunisia as soon as possible, Fabio, you will be responsible for the next transportation and get back the cut tobacco we desperately need."

"Good boss." David and Fabio responded together.

After arranging things, the subordinates are busy. Although something happened and some subordinates were lost, Jiang Hao's arrangement did not make the organization's momentum drop. On the contrary, because Jiang Hao cared for his subordinates, he won the love and affection of more people. Respect.

It's just a pity that Luca is such a good helper.

But a few days later, things changed dramatically. Luka came back. Jiang Hao was surprised to see Luka standing in front of him, "Luka, how did you run out."

Luca smiled, "Boss, I didn't run away, the navy let me go."

"What's going on?" Jiang Hao asked in surprise.

"Boss, we were sailing at sea that day, and suddenly a patrol ship drove by and shouted at us. We played the Italian flag according to your previous arrangement. We just have to stop."

"The full warehouse of shredded tobacco could not be concealed at all, and then the eight of us were arrested, locked on a ship for a day, and then taken to a naval military base, and locked in a dark room for another day, and then we were interrogated. "

"We naturally vowed not to say anything. Later, a lieutenant colonel came and told everyone to go out and told me in private that they didn't want to do anything to us, but they wanted to participate in our business."

Jiang Hao was also surprised when he heard it: "Navy, we want to participate in smuggling."

"Yes, they just want to participate in smuggling, and the other party wants 60% of the profit, but they promise that our ships in the Tunis Strait will be unimpeded from now on, and they can even drive patrol ships to escort us." Luca said.

Jiang Hao was also taken aback when he heard it. It was really unheard of for a warship to escort a smuggling ship.

"Any more?"

"I thought they wanted too much at the time. The Germans wanted 40% of the profit and the Navy wanted 60% of the profit. Didn't we do it for nothing? I bargained with the other party, but the navy colonel was killed for 60%. He said that they There are many people sharing this profit, including the upper echelons, and it is not worth the risk if there is less.”

"I couldn't decide on such a big thing. I told the other party that I had to ask the boss, and they let me go, but Valero and the other eight were still detained at the naval base. The lieutenant colonel said, if we don't agree, then This business is over, but our boat and people don't even think about leaving, Valero and the others will be sent to prison."

Jiang Hao thought about it and said to Luka, "Go and call David and the others."

When Luka went out to call someone, Jiang Hao fell into contemplation. Before long, Dawei and a few backbones came over. Jiang Hao asked Luka to repeat it carefully, and everyone frowned after hearing it.

Jiang Hao looked at a few people and said, "I decided to agree to the Navy's request."

"Boss, if you agree to the navy, then we'll be working for the navy and the Germans for nothing, but if you don't agree, Valero and the others won't want to come back, what a bastard." David said angrily.

Jiang Hao smiled and said: "Luca, the accounts are not calculated that way. We smuggle food into Tunisia, the Germans will share 60% of the profit, and the Italian Navy will take 40% of the profit, so we do it for nothing."

"That's right, we're going all the way in vain, and we have to take labor." Everyone said.

"Don't worry, listen to me, when I came back, the Germans did not participate in the profit sharing of tobacco, only the Italian Navy, they still have to share 60%, we share 40% of the tobacco profit, and the 40% of the tobacco profit, Enough for us to make up all the expenses and make a fortune, right?"

Everyone thought about it and nodded.

"But in this way, we are still doing it for nothing." Fabio asked.

"No, for us, the biggest benefit is to get tobacco. We now have our own cigarette factory, and the cut tobacco is shipped ashore to produce this part of the profit from cigarettes, but it belongs to us completely."

The crowd suddenly realized.

Yes, from shredded tobacco to cigarettes, the value of shredded tobacco can increase four or five times, which is the big profit.

Jiang Hao continued: "This is also a good opportunity to climb the line of the Italian Navy. From now on, we will have no obstacles at sea, we can blatantly smuggle, and there will be warships escorted, so we don't have to set off in the night in secret. , we don’t have to run every half a month, and the entire Tunisian Strait will be our back garden in the future.”

Jiang Hao said in high spirits.

A smile on his face.
