Chapter 1032 Illegal Smuggling
Going to China is not a joke.
Lebanon is very, very far away from China. It is not a place that can be reached by walking, it needs to take a plane or a ship.
Ibrahimovic didn't know why he agreed to Zhan En, gave him a lot of rations, and even gave him some money. He gave Jann two red renminbi.
It was given to him when the Chinese visited Ibrahimovic’s store when there was no war in Lebanon. He has kept it, to this day.
Zhan En worked for Ibrahimovic for half a month. He was very hardworking. When he left, Ibrahimovic could only give him some old clothes.
He looked at the little Zhan En, and he said in a poor way: "If you can leave here, don't come back in the future."
Jen nodded vigorously.
Jen has his own plans and plans. He had been selling bottles to the largest recycling station on the street. In addition to recycling plastic bottles, waste recycling stations recycle most of all kinds of scrap metal.
Jann once overheard the owner of the waste collection station say that these scrap metals are worthless in Lebanon because the country lacks smelters.
But these scrap metals are not the same in China. They have advanced smelting equipment, which can strip the impurities in the scrap metal and recover high-quality metal for processing products.
Especially copper, China desperately needs copper. A large amount of metals and ores produced in Lebanon will be purchased by China and then shipped back to China.
The copper from the scrap factory is no exception. They will accumulate it for a month and hand it over to a large truck at the beginning of the month to be transported to the port. There it is finally loaded into containers and shipped to China.
So if Zhan En wants to go to China, there is only one way, and that is smuggling.
………………
In addition to being the capital of Lebanon, Beirut is also one of the important port cities in Lebanon.
The cargo ship Huayuan is docked in the port of Beirut. As one of the few Chinese crew members on the Huayuan who was willing to disembark and visit Beirut, Liu Tianming didn't know that he was being followed by a pair of small eyes.
Life at sea is always boring, and drifting on the ocean is not as comfortable as being down-to-earth. Liu Tianming wanted to get off the boat for a walk, but his companions didn't think so.
Because most of the Chinese crew members do not have passports, they have no problem staying on board, but getting off the ship involves illegal issues. You may be detained by the local police and pay a large fine.
In addition, although the government forces, anti-government forces, and the Salvation Association in Lebanon have only signed a ceasefire agreement. But this does not mean that the country is safe. Although there is a temporary ceasefire, there are still small-scale conflicts.
Therefore, the general Chinese crew members hold the idea that more things are worse than less things, and stay on board with peace of mind.
And most importantly, most of the crew do not understand Arabic. Even after they got off the boat, they couldn't communicate with the locals.
Liu Tianming is more powerful, and he is in charge of the boat. What he learned in school at that time was about ocean sailing. The language of choice is Arabic.
So he can disembark with peace of mind and wander around, and buy some special products by the way.
But he didn't dare to go too far, he only dared to wander around the territory controlled by the government army, that is, around the port.
"These guys don't dare to come down by themselves. I asked me to bring them a lot of things." Liu Tianming looked at the shopping list in his hand and scratched his head.
This group of crew members did not disembark by themselves, and had to bring them all kinds of things when they watched them disembark. From household sundries to canned fruits to various specialty products, I wrote a lot of them.
But there is really no way, I can only bring them. After all, they all live on the same boat. Huayuan came to Lebanon to bring all kinds of ores and scrap metal back to China.
When you come, you take a boat of small domestic commodities and daily products, and when you leave, you pull a boat of metal. Bilateral trade is doing well.
But let alone, those crew members asked him to bring a lot of things. It seems that Chinese people have to buy some overseas purchasing agents when they go to sea, even if they come to Lebanon...
So after eating, Liu Tianming carried several large bags of things in the supermarket in the port area, and he felt that he was about to overwhelm himself.
And at this time, a little boy's voice came: "Sir, do you need help? If you want to help deliver the goods to the dock in the port area, it only costs 2,000 pounds (about 10 RMB)."
Liu Tianming turned his head and saw a little Lebanese boy pushing a small cart and looking at him. This little boy is none other than Jen. He quietly climbed into the truck of the waste factory and sneaked into the port.
He has been observing the port for several days, and is sure that the ship is heading for China. It took him a while to determine the target. The Huayuan is a Chinese ship, and it returned directly to China.
If you want to go to the hive to practice, you must at least go to China first. He must find a way to get on a Chinese ship.
He's been waiting for his chance, and now is his best chance.
Liu Tianming looked at Zhan En, if the person who said this was a grown man, then Liu Tianming would refuse without even thinking about it. Because we all know that Lebanon's law and order is not good, even in the territory controlled by the government army, there are many incidents of theft and robbery.
But the other party is a child...
Nervous Liu Tianming readily agreed, and he said in Arabic: "Yes, help me get on the boat, and I'll give you two thousand pounds." He was not afraid that a child could snatch such a heavy thing away with a car.
Liu Tianming put all the big and small bags on the trolley stolen by Zhan En. Liu Tianming felt that it was much easier this way.
From the supermarket in the port area to the dock in the port area, the two walked for about 20 minutes. The main reason was that Liu Tianming had too many things, and it was very difficult for Zhan En to push, so he walked very slowly.
But if you want to push such a heavy thing onto the boat, you need Liu Tianming's help. Together they pushed the cart onto the boat.
Several crew members who had long been looking forward to Liu Tianming's return were already there waiting for him.
"Tianming, hurry up, Doudizhu is missing one!"
Life at sea is boring, playing with money is the greatest pleasure. More than half of the salaries of seafarers are paid in this way.
"Okay, okay." After sending Zhan En off the boat, Liu Tianming hurriedly took out more than two thousand Lebanese pounds from his pocket and handed it to Zhan En. Then hurriedly hid in the cabin with his companions and started fighting the landlord.
It may be that the gambling addiction is unbearable, and it may also be that after living in a peaceful country for a long time, the defense is lowered. It could also be due to carelessness.
After Liu Tianming ran back to the boat in a hurry, he even forgot to put away the boat ladder for a while.
Seeing no one around, Zhan En seized the opportunity and quietly climbed onto the boat, and found a place to hide.
Two days later, the Huayuan sailed back to China, but no one on board found out that they had taken an illegally smuggled child with them.
