Chapter 382: Night

To be honest, Xia Feng admitted that he had underestimated the strength of the Haimen Gang before.

On the surface, the Haimen Gang only occupies Shengdi City, and its power radiates to a few small cities around it at most, on the other hand, his Black Feather Chamber of Commerce is expanding like a big octopus, and its minions almost cover most of the southern region.

In terms of territory and business, the Shanghai Gate Gang seems to be much weaker, but behind them is the boundless sea.

Xia Feng learned from the conversation just now that Lin Hai even secretly had a deal with the Victorian royal family, although it was only a few stinky fish and rotten shrimp transactions, but this was enough to prove that his offshore business was tacitly approved by the royal family, and it could continue without violating the bottom line.

..........

At the dinner table, Xia Feng directly negotiated the current new cooperation agreement on light manganese ore with Lin Hai, but all light manganese ore smuggled out by the Haimen Gang from the sea will be directly opened after deducting the cost.

This condition surprised Lin Hai a little, and it was divided into four or six, which was almost more than doubled on the original basis.

At the same time, it also made him more convinced that Xia Feng was different from Friedo, and the former's vision would see things very far away.

Later, Nanfeng introduced the channels and prices of goods mastered by the Chamber of Commerce to Lin Hai, which countries are suitable for smuggling, the characteristics of the goods, the matters that need to be paid attention to in transportation, etc., which Lin Hai will also study carefully later.

As for the follow-up details of the light manganese ore, it is necessary to let Reddy and the person in charge of the Haimen Gang negotiate slowly after going back.

On the dinner table.

Xia Feng and these people talked very seriously, but Turtle Turtle and Ifrit didn't care, the two guys ate with their mouths full of oil, and they didn't do it until their stomachs were round.

...........

In the afternoon, Lin Hai helped Xia Feng and his party arrange the best five-star hotel in the city, let them rest first, and call him at any time if they want to go out to play.

After a few days of traveling, everyone will inevitably be a little tired from the journey.

After taking a shower in the room, Xia Feng fell asleep on the bed.

After eating and drinking, the summer breeze of this sleep is very comfortable, and the fatigue of a few days is almost swept away.

When he woke up and opened his eyes, it was already dark outside.

The turtles and turtles were all awake, and after Lin Hai called to confirm, he sent a car to take them to another high-end specialty restaurant to prepare for dinner.

After a short contact with Lin Hai, Xia Feng felt that this guy was not bad, although he couldn't call it a friend at first sight, but at least it didn't make him feel that he needed to watch out for something, but even so, he still carried the Shenyue Knife and the Source Stone firmly with him.

The place for dinner was close to the sea, and the atmosphere was not as serious as at noon, and Lin Hai even brought his wife and children over.

The dishes for dinner are not as vigorous as at noon, and they are relatively delicate, and the style of this restaurant is more suitable for family dinners, and the whole meal can be said to be very pleasant.

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Hai sat next to Xia Feng and looked at the Shenyue Knife on his waist and asked.

"Xia Feng, your knife is very cool, I really don't see what material it is, how is it crystal clear?"

Xia Feng gently stroked the Shenyue Knife.

"I don't know what material it is, but it's very sharp, and it's a good weapon to take advantage of."

Lin Hai was a little surprised.

"Huh? This is really a weapon, I thought you were a jade knife hanging from your waist. ”

Xia Feng smiled softly.

"I'm sorry, Brother Lin, even if I have to eat, I still have to carry a weapon, no way, I'm afraid of a sneak attack."

Lin Hai lifted his coat mysteriously, and Xia Feng saw that he also had a dagger hanging from his waist.

"Xia Feng, people like us must have a sense of crisis, I carry this dagger with me whenever I want, even if I don't want to harm people, but sometimes, existence itself is a threat, you can't even realize that you have become someone else's enemy unconsciously."

"I understand."

Lin Hai's words were very calm, and the meaning was obvious, he didn't regard Xia Feng as an enemy or a threat, but even in Shengdi City, there were still things that could threaten him.

It's not so much a sense of crisis, but rather an instinct, just like the red knife, no matter what kind of environment he is in, the long knife is always inseparable from him.

Although Nanfeng has no weapons and is superficially weak, his strong strength will also allow him to enter a combat state the moment he perceives danger.

On the other hand, Ifrit and Turtle Turtle, these two stupid and cute guys don't have this kind of consciousness at all, in someone else's restaurant, Ifrit is even roasting herself with the flame of the Fire Demon, and Turtle Turtle is still applauding next to him.

.........

After dinner, Lin Hai suggested that he could take him to the port.

The port is a place where Xia Feng is very curious, to put it bluntly, the port is the foundation of the Haimen Gang, that is, the ship.

The size of the port, the number and tonnage of cargo ships, and the completeness of supporting facilities all determine the width of the future sea passage, so this is a must-go place for the summer breeze anyway.

Standing at the door of the restaurant, Xia Feng said to Turtle Turtle and Ifrit.

"You two go back to the hotel and sleep first, and Nanfeng and I will go to the port to have a look."

Turtle Turtle shook his head.

"I slept in the afternoon, and now I'm not sleepy at all, I'm going too."

Ifrit shouted at the top of her voice.

"I'm going to see the sea!"

Xia Feng pursed his lips helplessly.

"Look at the sea, you haven't seen enough of us floating on the sea for so many days, and besides, you can't swim."

"I can't swim, I can have a BBQ party on the beach."

"You can save you."

In desperation, Xia Feng could only bring these two little ancestors with him.

The restaurant is not very far from the port, and after Lin Hai arranged for his wife and children to leave, he took Xia Feng and drove them to the port of Shengdi City.

............

After 30 minutes.

Four towering lighthouses stand at the four corners of the port, huge shipping containers are stacked on top of each other, and the salty smell of sea water fills the air.

The size of the port was larger than Xia Feng had expected, and even larger than the port of Bula when he had absconded from Colombia, and it was a great thing to build such a port in an environment where the development of shipping was severely restricted.

Xia Feng and his party stood on a platform near the harbor, with several huge containers next to them, and from this angle they could see the number of cargo ships berthed.

Lin Hai looked in the direction where the boat was docked, smoked a cigarette and said.

"The history of this port is very long, but then because of the horrific sea incidents, it was almost deserted, and when I came to Victoria, the port was almost unused except for a few cargo ships from the Haimen Gang."

Looking at the current appearance of the port, Xia Feng was a little incredulous.

"Did the royal family invest money to repair the port later?"

"No, I did it myself."

Lin Hai took a deep puff of his cigarette, and his expression contained a persistence.

"Three years ago, I became the new leader of the Haimen Gang, and after taking office, I carried out a major reshuffle within the gang, and then I invested almost all the money of the gang department in the renovation of the port and the construction of new ships, despite the opposition of everyone."

Xia Feng looked at Lin Hai.

"Why are they against it?"

Lin Hai replied calmly.

"Although the business of the Haimen Gang has always been based on maritime smuggling, everyone felt that shipping was a single-plank bridge to survive in the cracks, with high risk and low returns, and even the royal family gave up the development of maritime transportation, which is obvious.

"But you insist on developing maritime transport."

"That's right, because I have seen the future, a country's resources are limited, the gangster's competitive means are in the eyes of the royal family, survival or not, and it is also in the thoughts of the high-level, only by focusing on places that even the royal family can't relate to, can we have the future."

After listening to Lin Hai's words, Xia Feng's impression of him was refreshed, and there was no doubt that Lin Hai thought of the same things as him.

Affected by natural disasters, the information exchange between countries around the world is very closed, and the interests of various resources have been transparent everywhere in sight, but even so, no one dares to step into unfamiliar territory.

Lin Hai had already built the "ship", but he did not have allies who really recognized the benefits of shipping, and the previous Friedo only involved light manganese ore, and he did not dare to put other resources on the sea, because he did not want to take the risk of capsizing.

Of course, this can't be blamed for Freydo's timidity, the strength of the Haimen Gang is indeed not enough, they have rich experience in shipping, but they can't guarantee the safety of the goods after landing in a strange country, they are not familiar with life, and they are likely to be hacked.

Therefore, today Lin Hai will pay so much attention to the cooperation with Xia Feng, because the existence of Xia Feng is undoubtedly the key to solving this problem.

Subsequently, Lin Hai introduced a lot of information about the port to Xia Feng, although the Haimen Gang paid for the renovation and expansion, but the port is an official facility after all, and it is still controlled by customs officers and military police on a daily basis, of course, the official management is only passenger ships.

More than two-thirds of the ships in the entire port berthing area belong to the Haimen Gang, and these ships are cargo ships, including 2 large source stone-driven cargo ships, 9 medium cargo ships, and more than 20 small ones.

This amount is not exaggerated, but in Victoria, a country where even the royal family has given up the development of shipping, the Haimen Gang is undoubtedly a real maritime giant.

............

At night, the whole harbor is quiet.

The moon is reflected on the sea, and the sea breeze blows on everyone's faces, which is extremely pleasant.

At this moment, the sound of a ship's horn was heard on the calm sea, and a medium-sized passenger ship from Bolivar slowly sailed into the harbor.

With this passenger ship calling at the port, the whole port has become noisy.

At the same time, the corner of Xia Feng's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the far right corner of the entire port, and another small boat quietly docked.

It was a blind spot illuminated by a tower lamp, and it might have been hard for him to notice if he didn't happen to be looking in this direction.

"Boss Lin, is that boat yours?"

"Which one?"

When the boat docked, a dozen people quickly jumped out of the boat, and then took advantage of the night to blend into the container area of the port.

At this point, Xia Feng finally sensed that something was wrong, and he raised his hand to the small boat in the shadows in the distance.

"That's it, there's a ship that has just docked....."

As soon as Xia Feng was halfway through his words, a strong sense of crisis hit him instantly, making the cold hairs on his body stand up.

In the next second, two cold rays of light shot towards him from the shadows without warning, all of this happened too suddenly.

When Xia Feng realized that he was shooting two crossbow arrows at him, he didn't have time to react without drawing out the black and white twins.

"Ding!"

The long knife unsheathed like lightning, and the red knife next to it slashed one of the crossbow arrows as it was about to hit the summer wind, and the other passed him.

Xia Feng was instantly shocked into a cold sweat by this sudden change, this kind of crossbow arrow was fired without any sound, and the light was dim, if it wasn't for the red knife to help him block it, it was estimated that he would have been hit.

"!"

This is for his life, Xia Feng's first reaction was that Lin Hai was a ghost, what to enjoy the coastal scenery, it turned out to be a fucking Hongmen banquet, and tricked him to the port at night, it turned out to be to kill him by night.

Xia Feng pulled out the Shenyue Knife and turned his head angrily to Lin Hai next to him.

Then, his expression froze.

The crossbow arrow that passed by him was being held by Lin Hai in his hand at the moment, and the front end of the arrow had been inserted into Lin Hai's chest.

I saw Lin Hai raise his head and roar regardless of the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Be careful, there are enemies!"
