Chapter 722: Gold Rush Movement in the New Era
After hearing the number of "50,000 units" reported by the reporter, Epic immediately made a judgment:
It's not someone else's product, and it's impossible to miscalculate the quantity-the Coast Guard is very professional, how could it make such a low-level mistake?
This is definitely an intentional false report!
The Coast Guard was able to conduct an uncharacteristic surprise inspection at this time and this location, because it definitely got the news in advance, and it was accurate enough!
It is even possible that they already knew that there were 150,000 main engines on board before they dispatched.
Now only 50,000 units are reported, and most of them want to get the 100,000 units!
Moreover, with 100,000 mainframes, such a large volume can't be hidden at all, so this will not be the behavior of an individual in the Coast Guard, but it has been managed from top to bottom!
The price of Mirage on the black market in America is as high as tens of thousands of dollars. If you find the right customer and put in more effort, you can even sell it for 50,000 dollars!
This is thanks to the government's ban, which has pushed the price up to such an unreasonable level.
However, the mirage's epoch-making technology also ensures that there is no need to worry about sales, which has led to the huge profits of smuggling hosts at this time.
Even based on the lowest price of 10,000 US dollars per unit, if all 100,000 units are sold, the value will be a full 1 billion!
If Epic earns this money by itself, a lot of costs will be deducted:
He needs to spend money to open up the purchase channel, pay for the purchase, establish a sales channel, raise younger brothers to deliver the goods, and raise another group of younger brothers to ensure deterrence by force...
He had to pay so much to earn this money.
—but the Coast Guard doesn't need any of it.
They only need to drive the boat bought by the government, burn the oil bought by the government, and go out to sea for less than two kilometers, and they can get all of this for nothing.
There are even 50,000 units seized on the surface, which can be used to claim credit!
It is impossible for the Coast Guard to refuse such a business that is costless and profitable!
Epic was furious.
But there is nothing to do.
He couldn't mess with the Coast Guard, and no matter how many gangsters there were, it was impossible to touch the regular army-or even dare to think about it.
But after working so hard for so long and investing so much money, is it all in vain?
This is also a huge loss for the entire gang.
what to do?
what to do?
Epic's face was gloomy, and various thoughts quickly emerged and disappeared in his mind.
at this time--
"Buzzbuzz"
The military division's mobile phone vibrated twice, he took it out to look, his pupils shook, and immediately handed it to Epic.
Epic took the phone and found that it was a message from one of his younger brothers——
[Boss, someone came to the bar and said that he has 100,000 mirage hosts in his hand and wants to sell us. He also said that our boss must need it, is he here to make trouble? Shall we throw him out? ]
"FUCK!!!"
Epic was furious instantly, and slammed the phone on the table, making the corners of the military division's eyes twitch.
But the military division was sober-minded and kept silent, calmly waiting for Epic to figure it out.
He believes that Epic will give the right answer.
And the result, indeed.
"Say to these sons of bitches, I..." Epic almost gritted his teeth, "I bought it!"
"But wanted cash...no!"
"I need to pay for the goods first! At least half of the goods must be paid first, otherwise we won't be able to afford the money!"——Actually, it is affordable.
The military division nodded, "Understood, I will talk about it myself."
"There is one more condition: they must release the delivery person! If they refuse, tell them: let the delivery person go, and they can make another fortune in two weeks."
"Shall we come out with the guilty person?" The military division asked, this is the usual practice when dealing with official organizations.
"Shit! Let them find it themselves!" Epic was furious.
"Understood, I'll go now."
The military division picked up the phone and left here quickly.
Although Epic was furious, he still restrained his anger and made the calmest choice.
Keeping the supply of goods is the most important thing, and recovering losses is the second.
He even quickly prepared himself to cut a piece of cake for the Coast Guard.
This is also impossible.
The only advantage of Baltimore is the seaport, but no one can withstand the targeting of the coast guard for seaport smuggling.
Especially since he hasn't figured out how the Coast Guard got the news.
At this time, he was even a little envious of his counterparts in Texas and New Mexico——
It is much easier for them to smuggle mirage than for themselves.
There are a large number of smuggling routes and smuggling merchants on the U.S.-Mexico border. Recently, people who used to smuggle drugs and illegal immigrants have all started to smuggle mirages. The profits are huge and the risks are low. Who wants to miss such a thing?
According to Epic, 4.5 million Mirages arrived in Mexico in the past two days, of which more than 3 million will be smuggled into America.
If it can be digested completely, then the scale of the next time will only be more exaggerated.
This is literally a new age gold rush!
And he absolutely didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"The original plan remains unchanged, let all brothers prepare for delivery."
After saying the last sentence, Epic also got up and left.
He needs to calm himself down and think about how to adjust the subsequent actions.
After Epic left, the nephew with a bad brain looked left and right, still confused:
"Why did they all leave? What's going on?"
...
...
Brazil, Rio, also entered the night.
After contacting her friend Maida, Giselle finally entered the "normal" world--the metropolis (peace).
Here, she really experienced everything Ma Yida said.
Maidai took her into the most prosperous commercial street in the metropolis, and raised her hand to trade her 200,000 virtual currency, which frightened her so much that she refused repeatedly.
But Ma Yida said with a relaxed face: "Take it, it's not worth much, just rob the bank twice."
——The virtual currency in the metropolis has an exaggerated value expansion. The existence of the real estate transaction system and the "golden key" has recovered a lot, but because of the existence of a large number of gold diggers, the amount of virtual currency in the metropolis is still expanding.
In order to avoid bigger problems, Yunmeng simply made the currency of Metropolis and Night City not communicate with each other.
And between Metropolis, Night City, and the newly opened virtual Xiajing, the currencies are not interoperable.
So the 200,000 virtual currency is really not a lot of money.
But even so, it is enough to have a good time in the metropolis.
Giselle has never experienced this kind of rich and generous feeling:
If you see something you like, buy it!
If you see something you want to eat, eat it!
If you see something you want to play, play it!
...
When Giselle was shopping recklessly, Maida thought about it, but still didn't tell her: most of the things she bought could actually be bought for zero yuan and moved back home.
After Giselle finished her addiction, Maidai instructed her to add the free game "Paradise" to her account, and took her to the playground to play.
In the playground at this time, there were a lot fewer giant pandas, but a large number of silver-throated long-tailed tits appeared.
This is a small group finch with silvery white feathers except for the wings, nape, eyes, claws and beak which are black. It is round and very cute and looks like a glutinous rice dumpling.
These little sparrows are quiet, neither noisy nor noisy, and they are as close as giant pandas.
Many children had one on their heads, one on their shoulders, and one in their hands, all very happy.
The same goes for Giselle and Maida. As soon as they entered the playground, several small sparrows flew over, landed on their shoulders, and rubbed their cheeks affectionately.
Giselle then ran up and down the playground again, having a good time.
It wasn't until I remembered that I had to go to class the next day that I had to say goodbye to Ma Yidai and log off to leave the virtual world.
While lying on the bed, Giselle recalled her experience in the virtual world that night, and still felt like she was in a dream.
What a joy!
After class tomorrow, be sure to visit Night City!
With this joy and anticipation, she turned off the light in the bedroom, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
But as soon as the eyes closed, they opened again suddenly——
She suddenly thought of one thing:
"I bought a mirage, didn't I just look for opportunities to make money?"
"What am I doing this night???"
