At night, when a smuggling boat approached the surrounding waters of Golden Port City, it turned off its engine sound and all lights on board.
This was a smuggling boat from Yalan, carrying about 250,000 in contraband alcohol.
This was one of their routine smuggling operations. They arranged to meet in this area, needing only to unload the alcohol onto the buyer's boat and then leave with the cash.
Smuggling has become much more difficult than before; even at midnight, the success rate is not very high.
The Coast Guard's boats continuously search the waters for fishing boats in need of help or smuggling boats.
They are equipped with advanced devices; engine sounds, lights, can be detected from afar. Life has become increasingly difficult, and if it weren't for the low cost of this alcohol, they likely wouldn't be doing this.
The cost to produce 250,000 worth of alcohol in Yalan might be only around 70,000 to 80,000.
A 300% profit is enough to drive anyone crazy.
